Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 12 Planning
Over the next few days, Kousaka Haruhiko's life became regular.

Yuta Manaka hasn't come to school yet, probably because he is busy with his father's funeral, so naturally no one comes to bother him.

Although the firm's business has not improved at all, there have been no clients visiting in the past few days.

But the money I earned from Mrs. Manaka should be able to last for a while.

It’s a pity that the original order to perform exorcism at the art museum was cancelled because the owner Manaka died unexpectedly and the director was arrested. It is still a question whether the art museum can continue to operate.

Yumiko Manaka was busy arranging her husband's funeral, so naturally she had no time to care about such unimportant matters.

As a result, Haruhiko Kosaka lost a commission.

However, although I didn't receive any money, the benefits brought by the two experience packs dropped by Boss Zhenzhong are much more important than money.

These days, Haruhiko has been trying to get close to Ran Mouri, just to have a reason to have frequent contact with Conan.

That guy has a special aura. If I want to improve my strength, sticking to him is the best choice.

He even wanted to become an apprentice at Kogoro Mouri's office, but then he thought that he didn't have much savings and it probably wouldn't be enough to satisfy that unreliable uncle.

Kousaka Haruhiko's initiative to get close to Mori Ran also caused some chain reactions.

There was even a rumor in the class that "Kousaka Haruhiko is pursuing Mori Ran."

This caused dissatisfaction among some people, who asked him to meet in the warehouse behind the school.

Of course, this certain person is Miss Suzuki Sonoko.

This development seemed like the jealous behavior of a tsundere young lady, but Haruhiko Kousaka felt that Sonoko was more worried that her best friend would be seduced by a strange person.

After school, Haruhiko Kousaka walked towards the warehouse behind the teaching building as agreed.

I am still a little impressed by this Kura Haruhiko. After all, he was almost committed a perfect crime here just after he crossed over. It is impossible not to be impressed.

I don’t know whether that Sakurai-chan has recovered from the blow, but she didn’t take the initiative to look for me after that.

I hope she can come out of the shadows and find someone she loves.

Haruhiko walked through a corridor lined with flowers and plants and came to a warehouse where no students usually appeared.

He saw from a distance that there was a girl in school uniform standing at the door of the warehouse.

She was a little plump, wore thick-framed glasses, and looked a little panicked.

It was Sakurai Tamako.

Haruhiko stood there in a daze.

No way? This Sakurai-chan has set her sights on this place?

When the other party saw Haruhiko, he was also frightened and even showed a look of wanting to run away in his eyes.

Haruhiko walked up to her with courage.

He glanced at the half-open warehouse door and blurted out, "You didn't kill someone again, did you?"

"No, I didn't." Sakurai defended himself with wide eyes.

Only then did Haruhiko notice that she was holding a pink envelope with a cute heart drawn on it.

It's a love letter.

Sakurai briefly explained it to him again, and Haruhiko finally understood.

After the devastating blow she suffered that day, she finally faced reality, gave up on pursuing the baseball club senior, and turned her attention to other targets. Today, she had taken the initiative to invite a boy from her class to come here to confess his love, but he didn't seem to be here yet.

Haruhiko: "Is that so? Congratulations then."

Sakurai bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to face reality so quickly."

"Don't say that, I didn't do anything."

"Senior is so gentle, but I wanted to kill such a kind senior..." Sakurai's tone began to change.

Haruhiko was shocked!
Sure enough, Sakurai immediately gave him a kneeling gesture: "Please accept my apology!"

Haruhiko quickly reached out to help her up, but unexpectedly, Sakurai was extremely stubborn, and the two started to pull each other.

But he didn't know that if you looked from behind, he and Sakurai seemed to be doing something strange.

at this time--

The sound of breaking air came from behind Haruhiko, before he could react.

A heavy object hit him hard on the back of the head.

Haruhiko saw stars in front of his eyes and turned around, covering his head.

I saw Suzuki Sonoko standing not far away. She was wearing tennis practice clothes and holding a tennis racket in her hand.

Looking at his feet again, he saw a green tennis ball bouncing and rolling, and finally hitting the iron door of the warehouse.

"You guy! What are you doing in school?" Suzuki Sonoko said angrily.

...

After some explanation and Sakurai's confession, Suzuki Sonoko finally believed Haruhiko's words.

She didn't look embarrassed at all and patted Haruhiko on the shoulder: "You can't blame me for this. It's because Kousaka-kun's previous behavior was very worrying. I thought you were..."

"Who would do something like that outside?" Haruhiko laughed.

"That means, as long as we don't stay outside, it's fine." Yuanzi glanced at the half-open warehouse door.

Haruhiko said with a serious face: "This has nothing to do with the scene, right? I am a serious person."

"You were peeking at my feet during class before." Sonoko struck back with one strike.

Kousaka Haruhiko was suddenly speechless.

While the two were bickering, a somewhat immature boy came over from a distance. He looked at the people in front of the warehouse with confusion. He should be the person Sakurai confessed to.

Sure enough, after thanking the protagonist, Sakurai ran towards the boy and left the warehouse to him and Suzuki Sonoko.

"Come on, Sakurai!" Haruhiko shouted at her back.

"Yes, I will." Sakurai turned around and looked at Suzuki Sonoko meaningfully, "Senior, you should also work hard!"

"Well, okay...eh?" Haruhiko was stunned for a moment.

What do you mean?
She seemed to have misunderstood something.

He subconsciously glanced at Suzuki Sonoko beside him. She must have just come here after playing basketball. There were still fine beads of sweat on her shoulders, and her slender white legs under her sports shorts were still very tempting.

Haruhiko felt that if she didn't speak, she was still a very capable fighter.

Suzuki Sonoko glared at him and said, "What are you looking at?"

"It's okay." Haruhiko looked away. "What did you ask me to do?"

Yuanzi was silent for a moment.

"What do you think of Xiaolan?" she asked.

"Mori-san is a very nice person. He's gentle and kind, and he's great at karate," Haruhiko said.

Sonoko pressed on, "You've heard the rumors in class, too, right? I want to know what you really think."

"That's all nonsense," Haruhiko quickly waved his hand. "We're just classmates, and our friendship is pure. I feel the same way about her as I do about you, Sonoko."

Suzuki Sonoko stared into his eyes and said in a very serious tone:
"Xiaolan is a very simple and kind person. If you really like her, I won't stop you. But if you want to play with Xiaolan's feelings, I will never let you go."

Haruhiko also answered very seriously: "Don't worry, even without your threat, I wouldn't do such a thing. A girl like that is like an angel, no one can hurt her, right?"

Sonoko seemed relieved: "Actually, ever since that reasoning geek Shinichi disappeared, Xiaolan's mood has been a little off. Although she still looks cheerful on the surface, as her best friend, I can feel the fear and worry in her heart.

If she were to be hurt by someone else at this time, she would not be able to bear it."

Haruhiko comforted her, "Don't worry, Kudo Shinichi will be fine. I feel like he's right next to Xiaolan, protecting her secretly."

"Do you think so too? Xiaolan actually felt the same way. She suspected Conan was Kudo Shinichi from the beginning." Suzuki Sonoko smiled, "I also heard Xiaolan say that Conan insisted on taking a bath with her."

Haruhiko laughed dumbly: "That kid with glasses actually had such an idea, did he wash them off?"

Sonoko stuck out her tongue and said with a wicked smile, "Of course not. Xiaolan taught that brat Conan a lesson. Now she treats Conan as an adult and even hides his underwear tightly."

Suzuki Sonoko nodded. The misunderstanding cleared up, and the two of them left the warehouse door together and headed towards the teaching building.

As they were walking, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly said, "By the way, the friendship between us is more than just that of classmates, okay?"

"Ah?" Haruhiko looked at her in shock.

Is this the beginning of a confession plot? Has she been testing the waters until now?

Unexpectedly, Sonoko continued, "Don't forget, you are my follower. Until your mission is completed, you must obey me in everything!"

Haruhiko was speechless: "Okay, what are your instructions today, Miss?"

Just as Yuanzi was about to speak, screams and curses were suddenly heard from the front.

Haruhiko looked in the direction of the voice and saw a few bad boys surrounding a boy wearing glasses under a tree not far away.

The boy was lying on the ground, hugging his leg and begging for mercy.

But the other party had no intention of letting him go and kicked the man with glasses hard in the face. The man with glasses rolled backwards, his clothes were covered with dust, and his glasses were thrown far away.

He stood up and reached out to pick up his glasses from the ground.

click-

A shoe crushed the glasses to pieces.

A short, crew-haired delinquent boy said, "That won't do. You have money to buy comic books, but why don't you have money to buy me a lunch box? Being dishonest like you really annoys me."

The man with glasses hugged the leg and put his face on the other's shoe: "I'm sorry, I really like that comic. I will definitely give you the money for the lunch box next week."

"Next week?" The crew-haired man held the comic in his hand. "Am I going to starve to death this week?"

"I'm so sorry, I really don't have any money."

"In that case..." The guy with the flat head was about to tear the comic book in half to punish the other party for breaking his promise.

Kousaka Haruhiko looked at the scene in front of him and felt inexplicably familiar.

The original owner had often been bullied by these guys before, and it was common for him to be asked to buy lunch boxes for them.

He suddenly wanted to try out the effect of level 33 kendo on these people, but unfortunately he didn't bring his bamboo sword, so he looked around for any weapon that could be used as a sword.

Unexpectedly, a roar suddenly came from beside me.

Suzuki Sonoko: "You guys, let me go!"

She rushed forward with her tennis racket in hand.

Haruhiko gave a bitter smile, but that was Sonoko's character and she had helped the original owner out of trouble several times before, so he quickly followed.

Sonoko came up to the bad boys and asked: "Why do you always bully your classmates?"

The face of the short-haired man in the lead changed. He seemed to be looking for Ran Mouri, but unexpectedly saw Haruhiko following behind Sonoko.

The crew cut breathed a sigh of relief and scoffed, "Hey, isn't this Kosaka-kun? Did you clean your shoes?"

It seems that they don't know about Yuta Manaka's haircut, and they still seem to think that Haruhiko is the cowardly boy who lets others bully him.

Haruhiko snatched the tennis racket from Sonoko's hand, stood in front of her, and assumed a standard kendo stance.

"It's not washed yet. I'm waiting to stuff your face in it," Haruhiko said.

"Damn it, you guy!" The bad guy was about to rush over.

Sonoko suddenly grabbed Haruhiko's arm and said, "What do you want to do? The dean is over there."

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, they saw the school's director in charge of discipline not far away, but he had not noticed the conflict here.

No matter how arrogant the bad guys are, they are still students after all and dare not go too far in front of the school leaders.

So they threw the comics in front of the man with glasses, left a message saying "I'll look for you again" and left.

When they left, they deliberately stepped on the comic books, making them dirty.

The man with glasses hugged the dusty comic book in his arms, stood up and thanked Haruhiko.

"Tagawa-kun, sometimes you can be a little braver. These people are not that scary." Haruhiko encouraged.

The man with glasses was stunned for a moment: "Thank you, Kosaka-kun."

Haruhiko looked at his embarrassed appearance and said: "If they bother you again, you can come to me."

The man with glasses looked dazed for a moment: "That's too much trouble for you, I can handle it myself, thank you."

After saying that, he walked towards the teaching building holding the comic book.

...

Although school is over at this time, there are still many students staying to participate in club activities.

Yuuki Tagawa was walking in the teaching building with a comic book in his arms, looking disheveled and covered in dust, attracting many people's attention.

But Yushu was already used to this kind of gaze.

He came to the physics laboratory on the third floor and opened the door. A short-haired man with flat legs was standing on a stool at the door, with a cigarette in his mouth.

The guy with the short flat head was the bad boy who had just stepped on Yuuki Tagawa's glasses and broke them.

"No one saw it?" asked the guy with the flat head.

Tagawa Yuki quickly shook his head: "No, he just left the school."

After saying that, Tianchuan walked into the laboratory and came to the window.

A man in a black baseball cap was sitting on the windowsill. He was not wearing a school uniform and was looking through the window towards the school gate.

Yuuki Tagawa followed the other person's gaze and saw Haruhiko Kousaka and Sonoko Suzuki waving goodbye at the school gate.

"Manaka-kun." Tagawa's figure looked a little fearful.

Manaka Yuta jumped down from the windowsill, glanced at Yushu who seemed very afraid of him, and forced a smile: "You did a good job. As long as you help me complete this task, you will be my best friend. No one in this school will dare to bully you."

Tagawa Yuki: "I...I will do my best."

"Did you lose the things I gave you?"

Yuuki Tagawa took out a small paper bag and opened it to find two small pills inside.

Yuta nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, continue to gain his trust and then follow the plan."

After saying that, he patted Yuuki Tagawa on the shoulder and left the room with his younger brother.

Yuuki Tagawa vaguely heard what they were talking about.

The younger brother asked Xiongta, "Boss, why don't you just go after that guy? Why go through so much trouble?"

"You know what? I'm going big this time."

"Oh, boss, where are we going now? Are we going to play pachinko?" asked the subordinate.

"You only know how to play!" Yuta scolded, "Let's go to the Torii store first. I asked the owner there to get me some good stuff."

"What's so fun?"

Yuta: "Asshole! Of course it's a secret weapon against that Kosaka guy!"

The voices gradually faded away.

Yuuki Tagawa couldn't hear what they said afterwards, and he didn't care what methods Yuta and the others would use to deal with Haruhiko Kousaka.

He walked to the window and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face.

Tagawa Yuuki took a deep breath and took out a photo from his shirt pocket.

Judging from the angle, this photo looks like it was taken secretly.

The background is the school corridor, and the photo shows Suzuki Sonoko grabbing Kousaka Haruhiko's collar with her hand.

Tagawa Yuki looked at the photo with a dazed look in his eyes and murmured softly, "Sonoko-san..."

　New book, please collect, recommend, and read. or2
　　Thanks, bang bang bang!
