Chapter 60 New Year’s red envelope with multiple meanings

Early the next morning, Shimizu Koji was woken up by the doorbell downstairs.

He went to bed very late last night. After all, it was a sudden New Year's Eve. After dinner at Dr. A Li's house, he helped to clean the house in a hurry.

Then, after cleaning Dr. A Li's house, Dr. A Li and Xiao Ai came over to help him clean the house. After that, I returned to Dr. A Li’s house and spent the whole night with the old man watching the Red and White Song Concert, Japan’s New Year’s Eve party.

Oh, speaking of which, the Japanese New Year actually refers to January 1st every year, which is very different from Shimizu Koji’s habit.

But as the Romans do, he takes these festivals very lightly. As long as they have a holiday, it is a good holiday. He has no worries and doesn't care about it for a long time.

"Haha~~, it's so early."

Listening to the doorbell ringing outside the window, Shimizu Koji yawned, got up, changed clothes, and washed briefly. It only took about three or four minutes before he went downstairs and opened the door to greet a group of people who came early in the morning. brat.

"Brother Hao Er, Happy New Year!"

One, two, three, four, five, five. Qingshui Koji dug into his pocket and took out five red envelopes.

Mitsuhiko, Yuan Taiyumi, and the other three were originally happy, but they were suddenly startled. Conan, who was following at the end, and Haibara Ai were also a little surprised.

"Eh? Brother Hao Er."

"Take it, am I not considered your senior?"

The three primary school students were still a little hesitant. After all, although they were not very smart now, they could still distinguish between seniors and elders. Before they came, they did not expect that Koji Shimizu would prepare red envelopes for them.

They simply came to pay New Year greetings.

However, Conan soon stepped forward and took the red envelope with a smile, "Arigado~!"

Shimizu Koji smiled slightly, touched his head lovingly, and patted him twice.

The red envelope is just for this guy who loves to pretend to be a brat. Conan is so smart, it's not in vain that he put in some effort.

Seeing that Conan stepped forward to accept it, the three little ones originally thought it was inappropriate, but now, who can resist the temptation of the big red envelope?

They all came forward and said "Arigado" to each one.

Finally, Huihara Ai was left.

"I don't need it."

"Besides, we have already lost a lot of time. If we don't leave again, we may not be able to make it in time."

The second sentence was to remind Conan and the young detective team.

"Ah, that's right!"

"It's already eight-thirty, we have to get there quickly!"

"Brother Shimizu, doctor, please take us to watch the Emperor's Cup final!"

Conan took out a ticket and handed it to Shimizu Koji.

Qingmizu Koji had known about this for a long time, so he naturally accepted it.

He was indeed interested, so he agreed to the doctor's request, because even though he had no feelings for football, in a few days, the Kanto Tournament of Kendo Competition would also be held at the National Arena in Shinjuku.

When the three children saw Koji Shimizu accept the tickets, they happily walked in front. Koji Qingmizu, Conan and Haibara Ai followed behind them.

Although it was only eight o'clock on the New Year's Eve street, it was already very lively.

The weather is cold, but many men, women and children are also wearing colorful kimonos to go out on the streets.

Walking onto a different street than before, there were many red decorations with different styles, but it did make Shimizu Koji feel some familiar festive atmosphere.

As Conan walked, he took out two red envelopes directly from his pocket, which were just given to him by Dr. Agasa and Koji Shimizu.

He didn't feel awkward at all. This was probably the only reality he was happy to accept after becoming a child.

"Let me take a look~~ It belongs to the doctor, oh ho ho ho! Twenty thousand yen!"

Conan grinned widely, and his unusual behavior naturally attracted the attention of Koji Qingmizu and Ai Haihara.

Then, in the slightly smiling eyes of Koji Shimizu, Conan couldn't wait to open his red envelope.

After the red envelope was opened, Conan was stunned for a moment, fumbled, and took out another red envelope from the red envelope.

"Eh? This"

"I have carefully prepared a surprise, so be patient."

Qingshui Koji added with a smile. Haihara Ai glanced at him and then turned to look at Conan.

But Conan's enthusiasm suddenly dropped by half, and he said why Shimizu Koji's red envelope was so thick.

He thought this guy had taken the money he asked his father to buy gold coins from last time, so he kindly wrapped a big one for him.

Now it seems that it is indeed a big one.

Although he felt that Koji Shimizu might be playing tricks on him, his demeanor and tone did not seem to be fake, so Conan patiently continued to dismantle him.

One, another, and another, and soon, the red envelope that was originally as big as Conan's two hands turned into a red envelope that was only the size of three fingers.

Hui Yuan Ai watched silently, and no one noticed that there was a faint smile in her eyes.

Seeing Conan still opening the red envelope even though he was very discouraged, she thought for a moment and stretched out her hand to tug at the hem of Koji Shimizu's clothes.

Qingshui Koji lowered his head as if he was aware of it, and looked at the small white hand that Haiyuan Ai stretched out, and was stunned.

Although he was very surprised, he still understood what she meant. Reach out and hold.

?

Hui Yuan Ai's pupils suddenly shrank, and for a moment, a faint blush caused by embarrassment bloomed on her fair cheeks like a thin plum blossom. It was very light, but very touching.

In less than three seconds, Shimizu Koji's hand was thrown away.

It was as if the little relationship that had been brought closer through gifts last night was gone at this moment.

The faint blush on Haiyuan Ai's face seemed to be caused by the cold weather, and her eyes were even colder, so cold that Koji Qingmizu couldn't even look directly at her.

She stopped playing riddles with Shimizu Koji, and directly reached out and took out the red envelope from Shimizu Koji's pocket.

At this time, on the other side, Conan finally opened the big red envelope that Koji Shimizu had prepared for him.

"Nani buckle type?!"

Conan's voice was so loud that the three little ones in front of him were all distracted.

I saw a small red piece of paper in his hand, about the size of a finger.

Conan stared at Koji Shimizu with his eyes widened, and then carefully looked at the tiny handwriting on the piece of paper.

[Red envelope fragments]

???

"Collect ten red envelope fragments and you can exchange them with me for a big red envelope."

Shimizu Koji patted his head and said with a smile.

"Hahahaha!"

"Conan!"

Mitsuhiko Genta rushed to laugh at him, and Ayumi seemed to be quite concerned about Conan's mood, actually holding her red envelope with a hesitant look on her face.

After Haihara Ai got the red envelope, she quickly attracted Conan's attention.

Conan now knows that Koji Shimizu gave out red envelopes early in the morning, probably just to have fun with the two of them.

So Conan was very curious about what tricks Koji Shimizu would give Haibara Ai.

But soon, his face turned dark.

"How many?"

Conan's voice was filled with resentment and jealousy. Haiyuan Ai glanced at him and turned sideways to avoid Conan's prying eyes.

"It's only two hundred thousand yen."

"That's right."

"Two hundred thousand yen."

"Just?"

Conan moved his gaze to Shimizu Koji. While he was very unbalanced now, he had begun to become habitually suspicious.

"I'm telling you, isn't this difference in treatment too obvious?"

Conan gritted his teeth slightly. Although Koji Shimizu was younger than him, for some reason, after his identity was exposed, he could no longer afford the airs of a senior.

"You should be content, she is much worse than you now."

However, Qingmizu Koji just said a word and walked forward on his own.

Conan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.

But even though he understood what Shimizu Koji meant, he couldn't help but feel a little confused when he looked at Shimizu Koji's back.

Why do I feel like this guy has changed a lot during this time?
  My attitude towards him is considered to be a bit closer, and after all, I can consider him a companion who shares my secrets. However, is my kindness to that woman Haihara Ai a little too much?

Conan was thinking carefully at the back of the team. Soon, he thought of one thing, that is, for Shimizu Koji and Haibara Ai, both of them seemed to have a sister who suffered the same fate.
  It seems that, to a certain extent, Koji Shimizu and Ai Haihara are the real "people who have fallen from the end of the world".

Thinking of this, Conan relaxed a lot.

He actually doesn't trust Hui Yuan Ai that much now, and he has a lot of grudges in his heart. After all, Hui Yuan Ai didn't even say her real name.

At the same time, due to various reasons, Haihara Ai did not tell Conan about her sister. There was indeed a thick barrier of mutual distrust between the two.

And the relationship between Shimizu Koji and Haihara Ai is better. From Conan's point of view, this cannot be said to be a bad thing.

Conan's eyes gradually deepened. Although he still had some grudges in his heart, after this short farce, he suddenly had the idea of ​​sincerely communicating with Haibara Ai again. This was of course the purpose of Koji Shimizu.

But at the same time, Conan also had a strange sense of justice, or a sense of responsibility.

A sense of responsibility to protect Koji Shimizu from the mysterious bad woman Haihara.

After all, he still felt that Koji Shimizu was too careless. How could he let down his guard just because he was a little girl?
  Sure enough, I'm still not mature enough, so I have to rely on him!
  And the other side.

In the end, Haihara Ai returned the money to Koji Shimizu.

The two of them didn't say anything, one gave and the other followed.
