Stay away from Conan.

"I... want to go back!"

Just when Miyano Akemi was hiding in the bathroom because she couldn't stand the situation at the social gathering and didn't know what to do, at this moment in the private room where the social gathering was held, in addition to the people who were making a mess, opposite to Emoto, the initiator of the social gathering, there was a young woman with long black hair who was sitting. She looked at her mobile phone to confirm the time and said this.

So, after hearing this, Jiang Ben felt a little funny and replied:

"What are you talking about, sister?"

You want to go back in the middle of a social gathering like this? Isn't that too unreasonable?

Therefore, Jiang Ben thought the other party was joking.

The other party was naturally Jiang Ben's sister, named Jiang Bencai. After hearing what Jiang Ben said, Jiang Bencai still said with a worried look on her face:

"But...I'm worried about Haota being alone at home."

So, when they talked about this, Xiaolan, who was listening to their conversation, interrupted them a little unexpectedly and asked:

"Is Haota your biological brother?"

"No, he's my five-year-old cousin. His parents are going on a business trip abroad for a month, so they asked me to take care of him."

Even so, Aya Emoto still replied with a worried look on her face.

"it does not matter!"

In response to this, Masashi Emoto said indifferently:

"Didn't you prepare dinner for him? Besides, I organized this party especially to bring my sister who has been staying at home to dinner. You should enjoy yourself!"

Having said that, Jiang Bencai also knew her brother's intentions, but Jiang Bencai still seemed a little worried about this matter, and then said:

"But I still have work to do..."

In this way, Emoto Aya seemed uneasy, and could not stay here at ease to continue the process of the social gathering. As a result, upon hearing this, Gao Mu on the side took the initiative to come forward, pour wine for Emoto Aya, chat with Emoto Aya, and said gently:

"Let's forget about work today. If you are too busy, you will lose yourself."

In this way, facing Takagi's gentle attitude, Emoto Aya did not reject Takagi's kindness. She raised her hand and took the wine glass from Takagi. She blushed and replied:

"Ah, okay..."

Just like this, watching such a heartwarming scene between them, Sato Miwako, who was demonstrating the routine of subduing criminals, had an unhappy look on her face. As a result, the strength of her demonstration techniques began to increase, which made the man who was currently serving as the "criminal" in the demonstration extremely painful to be strangled by Sato Miwako's hands.

At this point, the man could no longer bear it and could only beg for mercy with all his might:

"Surrender! Surrender..."

"Ah! I'm sorry!"

After hearing the man's begging for mercy, Sato Miwako finally reacted and realized that she had used too much force and quickly apologized.

However, the problem was not only with Sato Miwako. At the same time, something unexpected happened on the other side.

"Officer Takagi! It's overflowing, it's overflowing!"

Looking at Takagi who was pouring wine for Aya Emoto, he had been pouring wine from the bottle into the glass, and he had been doing this all the time. He kept pouring even when the glass was full, with no intention of stopping at all. This made Xiaolan on the side hurriedly call out and ask Takagi to stop.

At this point, Takagi Wataru, who had just come back to his senses from Sato Miwako, realized that he had made a mess of things, so he could only say:

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

In this way, he apologized quickly. Moreover, as the person holding the wine glass, Emoto Aya also looked helpless. She didn't expect things to turn out like this. She could only reply:

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Then, due to the current situation, Emoto Aya's mood was obviously worse. She didn't want to hang around anymore, so she quickly stood up and said to everyone:

"I, I'd better go back! I just encountered such a strange thing last time!"

As she said this, Emoto Aya seemed to recall some past events and became even more anxious.

"what?"

As a result, when Takagi Wataru heard what Emoto Aya said, he was stunned, a little confused, and made a puzzled sound as if asking something.

"It's about my cousin Kota."

Facing Takagi's questioning reaction, Emoto Aya also responded subconsciously, and then his brother Emoto Masashi followed up and added:

"It's a character card of Kamen Rider! When Kota brought his friends home to play, he took it out to show them off, and he found a super rare card that I had never seen before. But when I asked him where he got it from, he said that a kind uncle gave it to him."

After Masashi Emoto finished speaking, Takagi Wataru couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Kind uncle?"

"It was said that it was an uncle with long bangs and a beard. Kota picked up his wallet that had fallen on the ground and returned it to him, so he got it as a thank-you gift."

Jiang Ben explained the history in detail.

——"Where is the kindness? Isn't this outfit too weird?"

Conan, who was listening to this, couldn't help but mutter this in his heart, but apart from the appearance and dress, there seemed to be no other problems.

However, Emoto Aya continued to speak, making the matter even more strange:

"If that was all, it would be fine, but then that person took Hao Tai to his home to eat cake, and seemed to have asked him a lot of questions during the time..."

"What did you ask?"

At this point, even Xiaolan became curious and asked.

"Kouta said that uncle was a fortune teller, so he asked about the position of the bed, what was placed in the entrance hall, etc."

Aya Emoto replied:

"And he seemed to have asked about my and my brother's birthdays, and where we keep the letters and postcards we received..."

As a result, as these words came out, many people present also became sensitive:

"And then? Did Haota answer?"

"Yes, it seems that he answered. My letters were placed in a cardboard box in the locker, and the history's were scattered on the table. As a result, the man said that this was a very good location and it would be better not to move it..."

Aya Emoto said this with great concern.

——"So...is there anything important or special in the letters and postcards you received?"

However, at this moment, Gao Yuan, who had returned to the private room at some point, suddenly asked this question. It seemed that he was also curious about this matter and couldn't help but ask about the follow-up. After all, no matter what, this sounded more and more strange. It might really have a significant impact on the boy named Haotai who was now alone at home... (End of this chapter)
