Conan: The Unscientific Uchiha

"Dr. Ari?"

"Um"

Miyano Akemi asked questions one after another, which was normal. She was concerned about Haibara Ai's life and her experiences during this period, but it would be too troublesome to explain them one by one.

Huihara Ai also understands this truth.

But it's not that she doesn't want to explain to Miyano Akemi, but she plans to explain it slowly later. Today's time is still very long, but also very short.

Now, what she needs to do most is——

Hui Yuan Ai sat up, crossed her arms, and looked at Qingshui Koji coldly. Her eyes were slightly unkind, her little mouth was pouting clearly, and her intention to chase people away was also obvious.

But before she could speak, she suddenly felt a lightness in her body, and the next moment, she was being held in someone's arms.

"Shiho~, sister really can't bear it anymore, you are so cute now~~!"

“Eh?! Sister, you—?!”

Miyano Akemi had been suppressing her emotions, but when she saw Haibara Ai sitting up, folding her hands on her chest like a little adult, she looked at Koji Shimizu coldly.

When she thought of the original Shiho, she couldn't bear the contrast anymore.

In other words, if Koji Shimizu wasn't here, Miyano Akemi wouldn't have to endure it at all.

She might have already played with Haihara Ai, her ridiculously cute sister, into all kinds of fun shapes.

Her "resurrection from the dead" mood was relatively relaxed, especially today, after confirming that her sister had escaped from the clutches of the organization early.

On the surface, Miyano Akemi is the most emotionally stable among the three, but in fact she is the happiest, but because of the eldest sister's stability and 'majesty', she does not show her mood immediately.

However, compared to the fake brother Shimizu Koji, who has no actual blood relationship at all, the cute Xiao Ai's attraction to her biological sister is simply irresistible.

That is to say, the things organized can make her feel curious and concerned, and distract her attention.

At this moment, Miyano Akemi suddenly hugged Haibara Ai and touched her, causing Haihara Ai to blush and struggle. It also made Shimizu Koji who was sitting by the bed feel a little embarrassed, even a little bit. blush.

Because of his poor viewing angle, Haibara Ai is still wearing the same knee-length skirt, and if Koji Shimizu remembers correctly, it was the bear style one he bought at the beginning.

Shimizu Koji silently turned his gaze away, and it was his sudden tilt of his head that made Haibara Ai, who had been secretly paying attention to him, also realize that something was wrong.

Shock flashed in her eyes, and then she reacted immediately, blushing with shame and anger, she quickly pressed down her skirt first, then summoned all her strength, got her head out of Miyano Akemi's arms, and leaned on her her chest.

"Sister, don't, don't do this."

Haibara Ai's voice was soft, and she was just begging helplessly.

She could glare fiercely at Koji Shimizu, but there was nothing she could do against Miyano Akemi.

"Shiho~~."

Miyano Akemi closed her eyes, and there seemed to be some tears in the corners of her eyes. Her voice was very gentle, and she just whispered Haibara Ai's name. At the same time, she gently rubbed her hair with her cheek.

This is not only because of Haiyuan Ai's cuteness, but because she has wanted to live such a life for a long, long time.

Miyano Akemi's emotions were also conveyed to Haihara Ai's heart through her affectionate call. This made Haihara Ai, who was still struggling, immediately calm down. Her eyes became a little confused, which was reflected on her little face. The top looks quite cute.

Seeing this situation, Koji Shimizu couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, but he was definitely not as emotional as the Miyano sisters.

"Then Xiao Ai, you can stay with your sister tonight."

After a short while, it felt like time was almost up. Koji Shimizu spoke in time, bringing Miyano Akemi and Haibara Ai back to their senses.

Miyano Akemi glanced at Shimizu Koji, then turned her gaze back to Haibara Ai in front of her.

Hearing this, Haiyuan Ai also looked at Qingshui Koji and then nodded. While adjusting her skirt, she softly agreed, "Well, I'll just stay with my sister for the next few days. You can help me." Please take two days off, and it will be summer vacation right after."

"Oh, okay, that's just right. I'll come back to pick you up after I return from Osaka in a few days."

"Ah."

The communication between Shimizu Koji and Haibara Ai was simple and ordinary, but in the eyes of Miyano Akemi, or in the eyes of others, there was a tacit understanding that others could not easily interfere with.

Miyano Akemi blinked. She calmed down a little, and then she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

She glanced at Shimizu Koji a few more times curiously, which attracted Shimizu Koji's puzzled gaze.

She lowered her head again and touched Hui Yuan Ai's little hands, arms, ears, and hair.

"Koji, are you going to Osaka? Traveling?"

"Well, it is."

"Then, can I take Shiho with me?"

"Eh? Sister——"

As soon as Haibara Ai turned around and called her sister, Miyano Akemi covered her mouth with her palm. This was the second time in this short afternoon.

Shimizu Koji faced Miyano Akemi's pleading eyes. He nodded directly without much hesitation, and added one more thing by the way: "I originally planned to take Xiao Ai with me, but she didn't agree."

After receiving Koji Shimizu's nod to explain, Miyano Akemi became more thoughtful.

She smiled slightly, released her hand covering Hui Yuan Ai's face, picked her up again, and asked Hui Yuan Ai to turn around and sit on her, face to face with her.

Miyano Akemi subconsciously reached out and gently touched Haihara Ai's white and tender cheeks with her fingertips. Her eyes were as bright as the moon and infinitely gentle.

"elder sister--."

"Shiho, the days ahead for us will be long and long. Although you have become like this, we have finally left that organization. Let's enjoy our current life."

"Actually, it's good that you're smaller, Shiho. You're cuter, you can live for many more years, and you can live your childhood again."

"Sister." Haihara Ai's little hands became a little overwhelmed and scratched the quilt on Miyano Akemi's body.

She probably understood what Miyano Akemi meant, but Miyano Akimi's cute words behind her still made her feel a little embarrassed.

"Koji, it's not you. You should be a very close person to us now. Let's go out for a walk. Shiho, it's time for you to see the scenery of this world."

Chapter 166 Two Letters from the Witch

At about six o'clock in the afternoon, Shimizu Koji left alone. Of course, Haibara Ai was left with Miyano Akemi tonight.

As for getting home, it took more than half an hour longer than usual because it was rush hour. It was already seven o'clock in the evening and the night was gradually falling.

After Koji Shimizu parked his car, he did not go home directly, but walked to the mailbox.

He only remembered it on the way because he had spent the night at the castle and he hadn't picked up today's newspaper yet.

As soon as he opened the mailbox, Koji Shimizu took out the newspaper and at the same time took out two letters that he was not supposed to see until tomorrow morning.

But this affects nothing.

In the living room of the villa, Koji Shimizu sat on the green single sofa.

He only turned on a small lamp on the table, but the atmosphere was not dark, just very calming.

Of course, if you are a timid person, you may have to turn on all the lights.

Because among the two letters that Koji Shimizu read with a frown, the signature of the first letter was "Witch."

The witch's letter was on top of the letter with the fire seal. According to the sequence, the witch's letter should be the last to be put into Shimizu Koji's mailbox.

And the content above——

Sincerely,

[I'm sorry that I can't meet you in person. Your temperament makes me afraid to act rashly. 】

[But your destiny, or the balance of this world, has reached the midpoint. Although I don’t know what you are going to do, please remember: Good and evil in the world coexist. This is a balance of permanent balance. You Your good deeds will bring greater evil consequences, and your evil deeds will also breed opposing good deeds. The world will be chaotic because of this, and the final future will become more unpredictable. 】

[A strong person who does not belong to this world, please do not break it hastily. 】

[P.S.: For the sake of my sincere advice, please show mercy to the Phantom Thief. 】

The content of this simple three-paragraph letter contains almost no nonsense. It contains a lot of information and reveals a lot from the seemingly irrelevant first sentence.

A timid witch?

But maybe she has a clearer understanding of Shimizu Koji's character or his past in this world.

Because if there is any extraordinary person of unknown origin, there is a high probability that Koji Shimizu will kill him first.

As for the balance between good and evil mentioned in the middle

These words reminded Koji Shimizu of a person, a drunken boy who was almost swept into the garbage dump of his memory.

But compared to that boy, the words in this letter were too clear, and it was even as if I was worried that he wouldn't understand.

And the third paragraph

Qingmizu Koji thought about it for a long time and had to admit that he might have underestimated the extraordinary abilities of this world. This was almost his biggest secret.

But what he didn't know was that this third paragraph, the simplest one, was the one that cost the most to the witch who delivered the letter to him. She even spent all her money to come up with an ambiguous divination.

And what came to this letter was actually just her guess and temptation.

As for the postscript, Shimizu Koji took a look at it and remembered it in his heart, so he didn't think about it any more, because he had no clue at all and it was unpredictable.

He doesn't doubt that the other party is spying on him or eavesdropping on him. Not to mention the fact that the organization has come to this house. He often carefully searches for bugs and the like, even judging from the content of the third paragraph of the letter. , it’s not necessary, the other party’s certain ability to predict is still very powerful.

However, it is easy to see something from this sentence with the most obvious purpose.

That is, the other party is very concerned about it, or in other words, this witch whom he has never met may have some kind of connection with the phantom thief.

And that kind of connection——Kouji Shimizu's eyes returned to the second paragraph of the letter. He probably guessed the purpose of the witch's letter.

A balance between good and evil?

Koji Shimizu put the letter from Miss Witch aside and opened the second letter.

The red fire paint ink pad was as gorgeous and dazzling as blood, and before Koji Shimizu opened it, he had a vague intuition that it was very possible that this letter was the reason why the witch who had been quietly paying attention to him suddenly delivered it. .

That Phantom Thief——it's still a bit far away in terms of time, and it's just a hasty postscript.

The ink pad was uncovered, like a mirror that could never be rounded again, and its corners became fragmented.

This seems to be an omen. Once it is opened, there is no possibility of treating it as if it never happened.

Just like when Belmode sent the check to Hiroshi Shimizu, once he took it, there was no possibility of returning it or treating it as not received.

Because the portion is enough.

The signature was Chrissy Wynyard, and Koji Shimizu immediately saw the familiar signature in the lower right corner.

This signature has no other meaning. In the eyes of Koji Shimizu, it now only represents five million US dollars. No matter what this letter says, it is difficult for him to pretend that he has not seen it.

So, let him see if this wealthy female star is who he thought she was, or if she has some more mysterious purpose.

【A secret makes a woman woman】

Who is the witch?

If he wasn't quite sure that he saw it right, Koji Shimizu might even wonder if he had held the letter backwards.

Compared with the previous letter, which could even be said to be cautious, purposeful and with a strong desire to survive, this letter made Koji Shimizu frown at the beginning.

[Dear Koji-kun, do you still remember the prepaid drink fee~? 】

[I would like to invite you to drink a glass of absinthe, still at the old place, next Wednesday, at 9 o'clock in the evening. I have prepared some gifts, and I look forward to your visit. ]

The whole article is in English. If Shimizu Koji is not good enough, he may have to look up the information for a long time before he can translate it.

After reading it, Shimizu Koji did not get any additional information. Just like the special reminder at the beginning, it focuses on a mystery.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Koji Shimizu put the two letters together and threw them on the table.

Even the location of the meeting in the letter was a riddle that wasn't a riddle. It was an old place. The only time they met was at the North Star Club.

Leaning into the soft backrest of the sofa, Koji Shimizu raised his face slightly, closed his eyes, and thought quietly.

Combining these two letters, he could get a lot of information but not much.

And if it was as he suspected, the second letter, Chris Wynyard's mysterious invitation, might have some purpose that could affect his fate.

And was the witch advising him, or was she afraid?

balanced

Worried that he, a person who does not belong to either good or evil in this world, will upset the original balance?

The night outside the window is thick, and a new moon is rising.

The bright and cold moonlight shines equally on the whole world, shining through the gap between the curtains into the living room, like a veil blowing over the face, covering half of Koji Shimizu's cheeks.
