Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 544 Mysterious Invitation
Killers and the like are people from almost two different worlds from these detectives. Even though Kogoro Mouri has experience as a policeman for a while, he has almost never dealt with killers.

There is no doubt that cases like these will be left entirely to the police. Even if they want to help, they don't have the time and energy.

"Thank you. Thank you so much."

"No need to thank me. Your method is sophisticated enough. If it were just the police, they would hardly suspect you."

Shimizu Koji smiled faintly, and Hong Shang Mai's somewhat uneasy mood was slightly calmed down by his strange way of comfort.

And until a few minutes ago, she was still trembling in her heart. She killed someone.
"If there's nothing else, let's just say goodbye."

"Hey! But, this, this——"

"No need to thank me. I don't think you would want this to become a burden on your heart. Just pretend that today never happened."

Koji Shimizu waved his hand and turned away.

If Hong Shang Mai's eyes hadn't been full of gratitude and anxiety, begging him to come over for a private chat, he wouldn't have come over. After all, this kind of thing was really just a piece of cake for him.

The matter ended hastily and the murder case was ultimately left unresolved, but time had already been wasted and the first day of the school festival ended with a sudden downpour.

In the next few days, Koji Shimizu first sent Kazuha and Hattori on the train back to Osaka with everyone, and then accompanied Tetsumoha and Tsukamoto Kazumi at the school festival for two days respectively, and time passed quickly.

At Dr. Agasa's house, although Kazuha and Hattori have already gone back, Shimizu Koji is still living here for the time being.

There was a light "click" sound, and then the familiar cold voice of Huiyuan Ai was heard from the entrance, "I'm back."

"Huh? School is over so early? Isn't it only noon now?"

"There may be heavy rain in the afternoon. For the safety of students, the afternoon classes have been cancelled." Haibara Ai changed into slippers and said as she walked into the living room.

Koji Shimizu sat on the sofa and turned his head to look. Sure enough, it had become dark outside the window. It was only one o'clock in the afternoon, but the sky now seemed to be approaching evening.

"Then you should let me pick you up."

"I wouldn't forget to bring an umbrella, and it wasn't raining."

"Crack!"

As soon as Haibara Ai finished speaking, there was a flash of lightning, accompanied by the roar of thunder. The sky outside suddenly brightened and then darkened, and raindrops as big as beans began to fall.

Haibara Ai was silent for a moment, then slowly walked to the sofa and sat next to Shimizu Koji.

She could sit like this all day long, quietly without being disturbed.

Dr. Agasa is not here, probably because he is preparing for their camping trip tomorrow. However, since they are driving, they don't need to worry about anything.

"Is there anything wrong with the organization?"

"Well, not yet. Gin and I don't have a good relationship, so even if there is, he won't look for me."

As Shimizu Koji said this, he put his arms around her shoulders and with just a little force, Haibara Ai's small body fell into his arms.

But he just hugged her, they have passed the passionate days at the beginning~, compared with physical things, the spiritual feelings are more nostalgic. When Haibara Ai sat on the sofa, she naturally took off her slippers. She was not tall enough and her feet could not even touch the ground. Shimizu Koji liked to see her sitting on the sofa like this, because there was an indescribable feeling.

The pure white socks, just reaching the calf, are spotless and very fresh. Koji Shimizu casually holds them in his hand. Even through a layer of cotton socks, Haibara Ai's small feet are still soft and delicate.

"I just took off my shoes."

Haibara Ai's expression remained calm and her voice was as quiet as still water. When Shimizu Koji heard her words, he stopped short of picking it up and sniffing it.

"Hey, it's okay, I'll just touch it."

Haibara Ai didn't seem to notice Shimizu Koji's intention just now, but if you look closely, there is still a barely noticeable curve at the corner of her mouth.

"I think there's something you might be interested in."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Koji Shimizu was a little curious, and Haibara Ai got up from his arms with a little effort. Although she had gradually gotten used to it and even liked this way of getting along with others, the weather was hot and humid today and she didn't want Koji Shimizu to smell her scent when she came back from outside.

In fact, there has been such a situation before. Koji Shimizu actually said that it was a milky smell, which was very funny. It was simply nonsense. Because she has a little bit of cleanliness, she still cannot compromise on this matter.

After brushing her hair which was a little messy due to moving back and forth, Haibara Ai took out a card-sized envelope from the small school bag beside her and handed it to Shimizu Hiroji.

The envelope was pure black, and if you didn't hold it in front of you, it would be difficult to recognize. But on the front of the envelope, the words "Dear Kudo Shinichi" were clearly written in pure white handwriting.

"This is?"

Koji Shimizu was puzzled and opened the envelope directly. The envelope had obviously been opened. There was no need to ask, because Conan must have seen it himself.

"Why does he always receive such strange things? He clears out a lot of envelopes every month. Did he find this when he got home a few days ago? Or did he just receive it?"

"It should be these two days. Kudo said that he received the same invitation letter from the Maori detective, so he thought of asking me to check the mailbox."

"Oh, you've seen it already?"

"No, Yukiko opened it."

Koji Shimizu was a little surprised, but he still read the content of the letter first. When he opened the letter, it was also pure black with gold outlines, and its design looked like a funeral invitation.

"I admire your wisdom and specially wrote to invite you to my house."

Although it had some shaggy hair, it was indeed an invitation letter, and the signature was as expected a bit strange, signed "Twilight Villa".

"There was originally another check, but it was taken by Yukiko."

"Well, it's something she would do, but if it's just a check, it won't have much of an impact." Shimizu Koji wasn't sure. Yukiko was naturally childish and lively, and this personality trait seemed to have become more serious because of her pregnancy.

His relationship with Yukiko was still lukewarm during this period, but he could also feel that Yukiko had some feelings for him.

Regardless of whether he is younger than her, or likes his skills, body, appearance, personality, etc., in short, he is somewhat attractive to Yukiko, but because of worldly constraints, Yukiko still restrains herself, and he still needs to find opportunities to continue to promote their relationship.
