Conan's other self

As Valentine's Day approaches, many pastry shops have launched the service of hand-making chocolates for customers. They only need to provide space, tools and materials, and can charge a small additional fee.

The same goes for a store in downtown Rice Krispies.

This is where Ai Haihara and Ayumi make chocolate.

Chocolate can actually be made at home, but the tools and materials can be provided here to make the chocolate look like a human face, and they want to give the doctor and the young detective team a surprise.

At this moment, Haibara Ai is using tools to carefully adjust the shape of the soft silicone chocolate mold. Although she has only done half of it, judging from the basically completed hair style, what she is doing clearly looks like Maplehara or Conan. As for whose it is, it depends on whether there are glasses at the end.

"You seem to be doing it, Haiyuan."

Ayumi turned her head and looked over. She had just finished making the chocolate she was going to give to the doctor and was ready to take a rest.

"Thanks."

"Whose does this belong to?"

"yes--"

Hui Yuan Ai responded casually, but his words were suddenly interrupted by other voices.

"Ah, found it!"

"Ayumi! Haibara!"

The voices of Yuantai and Mitsuhiko suddenly came from behind, startling Haiyuan Ai, and his hands shook. The semi-finished product that had just been carefully made turned into a mess.

Hui Yuan Ai looked back.

Dr. Agasa followed Genta and Mitsuhiko and walked toward them. Kaedehara stood a few steps away and showed an innocent expression to her.

Feng Yuan felt that he was in trouble.

Haibara Ai and Ayumi obviously wanted to keep it a secret for the time being, but they used "reasoning" to lead the doctor and others to find them...

Judging from Haihara Ai's current expression, she is obviously a little unhappy now, and she seemed to be scared just now...

After casually talking to the doctor and others, leaving Ayumi to deal with the three of them, Haibara Ai jumped off the chair, came to Feng Yuan, and then pulled him to the corner.

"How did you know we were here?"

Hui Yuan Ai's tone was a bit unkind.

"When Ayumi went out, she told her family that you had already arrived and were waiting for her. In addition, it was still snowing. With your temperament, you would not trust her to go too far alone, so I thought you should be there. Near her home.

At this time of year, you two go out alone and don’t want others to know, so I guess you might have gone out to make chocolate..."

"..."

"...Sorry." Fengyuan apologized honestly.

Although the Doctor, Genta and Mitsuhiko are the most active, he is obviously the one who contributes the most.

"...Mr. Detective used his reasoning ability in boring ways again... and even caused me to mess up the chocolate I was making just now..."

"You know? That was originally meant for you," Haihara Ai continued, "Now..."

…

The chocolate still needed to be refrigerated for a few hours to take shape, so after waiting in the car for a while, everyone returned to the doctor's house. And now that they had been discovered, Haibara Ai and Ayumi simply distributed the Giri chocolate to everyone.

"so cute!"

"It looks like everyone else!"

Dr. A Li also received two copies. He held two pieces of chocolate in his hand and resisted the desire to eat them now. He planned to pay attention to his image in front of the children and take another bite later.

Genta and Mitsuhiko couldn't put it down and were a little reluctant to eat it. After delivering them, Ayumi carefully put away the chocolates she planned to leave for Conan.

"Yours." Haiyuan Ai stuffed the small box containing chocolate directly into Fengyuan's arms.

"Thank you." Feng Yuan opened it and took a look.

The chocolate in front of me is obviously based on my face from the hairstyle, but it's obviously not finished yet. Although I knew this result when I was in the store, I still felt depressed when I should.

Sure enough, a famous detective not only wants to reveal the truth, but also carefully considers how much truth to reveal.

"Because you suddenly appeared and startled me, your part has become like this," Haihara Ai emphasized again, "Don't you like it?"

…

At night.

The doctor who sent the children home was a little tired, and his snoring was louder and more continuous than usual.

Fortunately, there were earplugs made by a doctor that could isolate the snoring alone, so Maplehara slept peacefully.

But tonight is clearly not going to be an incidentless night, as Conan is still dealing with murder cases and gunmen.

There were slight footsteps, and then the sound of the bedroom door being gently pushed open.

Maplehara, who was always alert, woke up from his sleep.

But he almost realized who it was, and he was still very sleepy, so he just opened his eyes and looked at the bed.

The person who came here was very considerate and turned on the lamp next to his bed.

Then he saw the black muzzle of the gun pointing at his head.

Haibara Ai was sitting beside his bed, holding a pistol in his right hand and looking at him with a cold expression.

"...Haiyuan?" Fengyuan had just woken up from sleep, and Fengyuan was still a little confused.

"I'm so sorry," Haiyuan Ai's tone and expression were both cold and cold, revealing the slightest bit of chill, "There seems to be cold black blood flowing in my body..."

Feng Yuan blinked in confusion, but did not move or speak.

"Don't you understand yet?"

The corners of Haiyuan Ai's lips raised slightly, as if he was a little proud, "I am actually a spy sent by the organization to monitor you, this important experimental subject..."

"However, I felt a little strange last time. You never seemed to ask me about the organization... nor were you worried about my true purpose..."

"...Because the puzzle is interesting when you have to solve it yourself." Fengyuan thought for a moment, "Besides, you know the organization better than I do. I believe that if there is anything I need to know, you will definitely tell me..."

"Really?" Haihara Ai's expression became more and more indifferent, and his icy blue eyes seemed to be frozen by ice. "But, Kudo, you seem to have forgotten that you clearly said that you are interested in solving puzzles..."

"That's not always the case. There are some puzzles that will make people deeply involved and unable to extricate themselves just by looking at them..."

"No need to argue, Kudo."

Haiyuan Ai coldly interrupted Fengyuan's defense.

"You must have discovered the identity of my female spy, that's why you didn't ask me... You wanted to use me in turn... Unfortunately, you weren't careful enough, and I still found out...

In this case, I can only shut your mouth...

Don't worry, you are the first to receive this gift, so just accept it with gratitude... You should feel satisfied, in this way...

You have nothing to worry about. "

boom--

A small gunshot suddenly rang out.

Dr. A Li on the other side seemed to notice something, but he just turned over and his snoring did not even stop. Generally speaking, only his own snoring is likely to wake him from a deep sleep.

He may never know what happened next to him tonight.

…

Maplehara is still alive.

He stared at the seven roses that popped out of the toy gun for a while, then came back to his senses and hurriedly took the small box that Haihara Ai suddenly threw over.

"I was just worried that a certain detective would be so sad that he couldn't sleep because the chocolate he received was half-finished." Haibara Ai quickly put the toy gun and flowers behind her back, "So I thought about it and decided to give my share Give it to him."

"Don't think too much." She turned around and left the room, looking back at him at the door. "Don't forget to brush your teeth."

The door was closed just like that.

Haiyuan's acting just now was really good...

He almost believed it...

Feng Yuan recalled the appearance of Hai Yuan Ai when he was acting just now, intending to remember it firmly in his mind before turning his attention to the box in his hand.

He stared at the box for a while before opening it.

Inside the box is a piece of chocolate modeled after Haihara Ai's face.

Different from the one made by Ayumi, this one looks different. It was obviously made by Haibara Ai herself.

The workmanship of this one is more exquisite, and the main features of the hairstyle, eyes and mouth are almost exactly the same, making it look lifelike.

so similar…

It's so similar that you won't want to eat it, and it will feel a little weird when you bite it...

But chocolate is for eating, not looking at it. Thinking about the last words Haiyuan just left, Fengyuan hesitated for a while and finally bit it.

The bite seems to be in the mouth...

I hope Haibara won't mind...

But... so sweet...

Just like Haihara Ai's favorite peanut and blueberry jam sandwich, the sugar content of this thing clearly exceeded his standards.

However, he still carefully and slowly ate the whole piece of chocolate in one bite. Then he wiped the corner of his mouth with his index finger and swallowed the chocolate crumbs on his index finger.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he had eaten something like chocolate in his current capacity... He still kept the portion Ayumi gave him.

It tastes really good.

Thinking like this, Fengyuan picked up his phone and looked at the time, and found that it was just a few minutes past midnight, and it was already Valentine's Day.

Putting down his phone, Fengyuan stood up, put on his coat, and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. The taste of chocolate still lingered between his lips and teeth.

So sweet.
