Detective Conan's Desperate Cry

Chapter 69 Extra Story 04: Memories of Rei Fuguya ([-])

For a long time after that, Furutani Rei and Scotland were very grateful to the three people in the car and extended a helping hand, especially the intellectual woman, who exuded elegance in her gestures, revealed when she looked at Yukiko With tenderness, at that time, Jiang Gu Ling thought that she should also have a child.

But what impressed me the most was the woman with two-color pupils, her "features" were so prominent that it was hard not to attract attention.

However, one year after arriving in London, when Ling Gu accidentally flipped through a geographical magazine, he found that the place where they met was almost deserted.The two of them ran to that place by accident, but Jiang Gu Ling couldn't figure out how to meet such a coincidental and kind-hearted trio at such a coincidental time.

He didn't think it was accidental that the three people appeared there.

This idea was not confirmed until he went to Bibury again.As for who those three people were, he didn't know.

All the answers will come when he sees those three people again, of course, this is another story.

Jiang Gu and Scotland grew up in an orphanage, so they naturally sent Yukiko to the orphanage when they came to London.Since she has taken root in London since then, she must give Yukiko an English name!

"Linda!" Scotland preempted.

"Lucy!" Jiang Gu Ling was not to be outdone.

"Wendy!"

"Kana!"

"Mira!"

"Judy!"

"..."

"..."

For the first time, Jiang Gu felt that Scotland was a little unreasonable. Isn't it just an English name? !As for robbing him!Hmph, since you want to rob me, how can I let you succeed so easily!In this way, the two fought for [-] rounds. As a result, the dean saw that the two of them were fighting, so he made the decision without authorization.

"I see Emily is embroidered on this girl's swaddle. From now on, I'll call her Emily, Emily!"

As soon as the words came out, the two people immediately stopped arguing and rushed to register Yukiko's English name in front of the dean. As a result, when the two of them finally arrived, they found that Yukiko's swaddle was covered with A nameplate that read "Emily" has been pinned on.

What a misfortune is a hatred of the ages!
Jianggu and Scotland stare at each other, neither letting the other go.

"Huh!" Just like that, the two began a month-long cold war.

Jiang Gu's first cold war with Scotland was because of the name!Thinking about it afterwards, the two of them couldn't help laughing at themselves.Perhaps, when they rescued Yukiko from the fire, when they took Yukiko out of Bibury despite everything, the two of them were determined to protect her until death.

Especially for Furutani Rei, when Yukiko was crying and sucking his fingers greedily, for the first time, he felt that children are so cute.

A soft place in my heart seemed to be hit hard.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Yukiko was already two years old. She inherited her mother's hair color, black and smooth, with a small powdered face and a soft voice. cute.The point is, she has a cute and docile personality, and adults like her very much.

Naturally, it has become an excellent choice for couples who come to adopt children.

Furutani Zero didn't intend to let others adopt Yukiko, but Scotland didn't think so.

"Fugu, the two of us have nothing, Yukiko is already very pitiful, if you keep her here, can you bear it?"

What Scotland said is very reasonable, and Furutani Rei also believes that Yukiko should not be allowed to live in the orphanage all the time, she should live a happy and ordinary life, and leave forever before she realizes that she is an orphan.

However, there was always an uneasy corner reminding him that Yukiko should be with them.

Only then is she safe.

The two almost quarreled again about Yukiko's whereabouts. However, Yukiko was too dependent on Furutani Rei, and she was unwilling to separate from him. Said not to leave, and then Scotland turned green with anger.

Thinking about it, I feel gloating, but why, the more Yukiko grows up, the closer she gets to Scotland?

-

Ever since he knew that meeting those three people two years ago was not a coincidence, there was always something in Jiang Gu Ling's heart, which seemed to be telling him to find the truth.

Rao is looking for the voice in his heart, and also in order to protect Yukiko well, Fuguya Rei temporarily left London for a while.

"Oh? You're going to Bibury, what are you doing there?" Scotland was puzzled when he heard that he was going to Bibury.

"Well, go check some things, I can't figure out some things." He replied while packing.

"I'll go with you. I'm worried about you alone. Two people are better than going out alone, at least with a companion."

"Go, go, don't disgust me, I'm a big man, why can't I be safe?!" Fuguya waved his hands with a look of "disgust", "You have to stay and take good care of Yukiko, she is still young , what if we both leave and she gets bullied?"

As soon as these words came out, Scotland immediately stopped talking. A two-year-old girl and a boy who is about to grow up, think about it, let's stay.

Afterwards, Fuguya also wondered, if he had gone to Scotland instead of himself, would Yukiko have liked him?
Shaking his head helplessly, Fugu Ling thought this was an impossible answer, because he had to go by himself.

Some things can only be found if you find the answer yourself.

Two years later, Jiang Guling returned to the small town of Bibury again.

The town is still the same town, with pleasant scenery and an endless stream of tourists, but it seems that some places have changed.

He walked on the dirt road and looked around, and when he looked back suddenly, he realized what had changed.

strangeness.Bibury was full of strange smells. The people he had met back then, and those who helped put out the fire together, were gone.

In just two years, everything was so strange that he couldn't get used to it.

At that time, he was already 17 years old, less naughty than when he was 15 years old, and a little more calm.

He went from house to house, looking for someone who knew something about it, someone he still knew.

Even if there is only one side.

After running around the town for two days, Jiang Guling finally found him: a 40-year-old middle-aged man who still had some memories of the fire.

The middle-aged uncle is Tom, who runs a canteen.

"Oh, you said that the fire, I took a look at it from a distance, but I didn't go to the scene because I had to look at the store. My younger brother went to the scene and said it was very serious. I remember that the newspaper was not Did it still report? Both the mother and daughter died in the fire." Tom said while sorting things out, "I remember my brother said that the newspaper published something wrong. I asked him what was wrong, but he didn't tell me. Who knows, After two days, he said he was leaving Bibury."

"Uncle, didn't your younger brother say the reason?" Jiang Gu Ling frowned slightly. It seems that a lot of things happened here not long after they left.

"No, I asked him why he didn't say anything, but at that time, many people left Bibury at once. Although it is a bit strange to say this, it always gives people the feeling that they are fleeing the famine." Tom turned into the store , "Later, my younger brother also contacted me, saying that life in Castle Combe is not bad. We will contact occasionally, but it's all trivial things in life."

"That's it, thank you, uncle, can I ask you one last question?" After getting some clues, he secretly made up his mind.

Before leaving Bibury, he went to the newspaper office that published the fire newspaper. Unexpectedly, the staff of the newspaper office changed a lot. Everyone who had contact with the newspaper back then moved away.

"The editor-in-chief at the time, that is, my master, he resigned and left immediately. He didn't say anything when he asked him what happened. Later, other people in the newspaper also resigned and left. I also tried to contact them, but they never responded. So I don't know where they are." This is what the current editor-in-chief said when he saw Jiang Guling.

"Do you have any memory of the fire two years ago?" Jiang Gu Ling asked.

"I found out later that I was on a business trip and didn't go to the scene. I heard that the editor-in-chief went to see it. No, the newspaper was published by our newspaper back then. Didn't it mean that both mother and daughter died?" If the current editor-in-chief He said thoughtfully, "Except for me, the people in the newspaper office have only come in the past two years, and the knowledge about the fire is limited to the newspaper."

Jiang Guling didn't ask any more questions, nodded his thanks, and left.On the way out of Bibury, he confirmed what he had in mind.

Everyone who knew about the fire, who knew that the only dead person was the mother, left Bibury.Some people didn't want the fact that Yukiko was still alive to be revealed, so they chose to let everyone who knew the truth leave in this way.

Luckily he knew someone who had moved to Castle Combe, Tom's store manager's brother, John.He asked the store manager for the detailed address.

When we arrived at Castle Combe, it was already very late, and Jiang Guling found a hotel to rest at random.

It was night, the moon was dim, and Jiang Gu Ling lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.True or false, he has already guessed most of it, but he still wants to know more.
