After more than twenty minutes, it was not until the atmosphere in the club suddenly changed, the colorful neon lights began to rotate and shine, and the stage curtain opened, that Gin came back to his senses.

"Increased surveillance at the arena."

Although he didn't expect any answer, sending additional manpower was the cheapest and most direct method, and Gin was still qualified to use it at will before his 'holiday' began.

Chapter 80 She wants to do something

Agasa House, 2-chome, Mika Town.

The lights of the villa have been turned on, like a lighthouse on the sea, shining through the fog of dusk.

The people in the villa were restless.

"Haiyuan, where is Haoji? Hasn't he come back yet?"

The one who spoke was Conan. He had just arrived at Dr. Agasa's house not long ago. He went to Koji Shimizu's house first. No, he went to his house first to see that there was no one there, so he ran here.

At this time, Haiyuan Ai was sitting in the middle of the 'pin'-shaped sofa, and Conan was sitting on the small sofa on the left, just like the seat they sat in when they first faced off, except that there was no one sitting next to Haiyuan Ai. that person.

Facing Conan's question, Haihara Ai actually didn't want to answer it, because it also made her thoughts confused and she couldn't help but think about it.

She finally calmed down for a while

"Hello? Haiyuan——, Haiyuan——?"

"What are you feeding?"

Hui Yuan Ai suddenly lost her composure. Her cold words, combined with her cold eyes, were a bit scary.

She wanted to know more than anyone else where Koji Shimizu was and why he hadn't come back yet. By coincidence, Conan was shot.

However, Conan is not someone to be trifled with. He has long been unhappy with Haihara Ai. After all, she was the one who proposed cooperation in the first place, but in the end it was she who was unwilling to say anything.

He just used excuses like it was too dangerous.

"What happened to Haoji? You know, right?"

Conan's face darkened and he immediately stood up from the sofa. He originally thought that Koji Shimizu had really solved his problem, but now, it seemed that he was not.

At least, Haihara Ai's reaction immediately made him realize that something was wrong.

Haihara Ai glanced at Conan, took out her phone, and started typing. She didn't want to, but she couldn't help being disturbed by Conan.

[Is the matter resolved? How are you? 】

Haiyuan Ai hesitated for a moment and clicked send.

She originally wanted to ask, 'Where is she?', but that would make it seem like she didn't care too much about Shimizu Koji's safety.

She began to care about the feelings of others, or specifically, Koji Shimizu.

And within a few seconds, she received a reply with a beep beep, and her heart suddenly became much calmer.

[There is a traffic jam, it will take about another hour. 】

But her little thoughts didn't seem to be hidden from Qingshui Koji across from her, so looking at the answer that made her miss her heart, Haiyuan Ai's face turned slightly red.

Conan couldn't see anything at all, but he guessed that Haibara Ai was texting with Shimizu Koji, so he didn't bother.

As expected, after calming down for a moment, Haiyuan flipped up his hair and said calmly: "He will be back soon."

After hearing this, Conan finally felt relieved. It was not like he had never called before, but since the second call had not been dialed, he did not dare to call again.

At this point, he and Huihara Ai are both smarter people.

Although they couldn't help Shimizu Koji and didn't know what problems he encountered, they would never rush to cause Shimizu Koji any trouble.

After receiving the reply from Koji Shimizu, Haibara Ai suddenly felt much more relaxed. Even Conan, who had just been annoying, didn't look so unpleasant anymore.

While feeling relaxed, there was also unbearable joy, anticipation and even excitement. These emotions were mixed together. For a moment, Haiyuan Ai was a little at a loss. She felt that she could not sit here and wait like this.

She wanted to do something, but what could she do—

"Xinyi, Xiaoai, how long will it take for Haoji to come back?"

Dr. A Li's voice came, and Haihara Ai and Conan turned around at the same time. In the kitchen bar, Dr. A Li looked at them with a smile, and a faint white steam rose around him.

Tonight’s dinner will be a sumptuous rice meal, which Dr. Ali has decided long ago.

But——, Haibara Ai glanced at Conan.

"Isn't it time for you to go home? Great Detective, didn't your girlfriend call you and ask you to come home?"

"Are you not planning to have New Year's Eve dinner with her?"

The corner of Conan's mouth twitched, and Haihara Ai was almost unconcealed in both his eyes and his words. This was because he thought he was redundant.

But understand, apart from today, in every sense, he is the one who came first! !

"Doctor, I'll have dinner with you tonight!"

In fact, there is no need to shout like this to Dr. A Li, but Conan just did it. He wanted Haibara Ai to recognize the reality!

snort!

"Ah? Shinichi, do you want to stay for dinner tonight?"

However, Dr. A Li's response was like a loud slap in the face, accompanied by Haibara Ai's contemptuous and mocking smile, which hit Conan's heart hard.

No! PhD! Why are you so thick-browed and big-eyed—!

Conan turned his head to look at Dr. Ali with grief and indignation, but Dr. Ali didn't seem to notice anything was wrong. After all, in his opinion, it was only natural for Conan to go back to Maori's house for dinner, and it was something Conan himself wanted to do.

"Do you really want to stay?"

Dr. Agasa triggered another critical hit.

Conan nodded silently with a pair of dead fish eyes.

At this moment, he was just about to have a puffy face like an ordinary child. Seeing all this in Haiyuan Ai's eyes, it made her smile with disdain.

Tch~, kid.

She licked her hair beside her ears and jumped off the sofa like a proud queen.

Wearing small pure white cotton socks and a pair of small feet in slippers, she walked towards the refrigerator in front of the kitchen bar with her hands behind her back.

"Huh? Xiao Ai, what are you looking at?"

"If there is one more person, of course there will be one more dish."

Haiyuan Ai's tone was very natural. When Dr. Ali heard this, he also reacted, smiled and nodded in recognition, until——

? ?

Dr. A Li was stunned when he saw that Haibara Ai had laid out a lot of his treasured ingredients and fresh vegetables prepared for the next two days, almost emptying his refrigerator.

"Uh, Ah. Xiao Ai."

"Huh? Doctor, don't get me wrong, you can't eat any of these."

"And if you put it down any longer, it will go bad. There are just a lot of people today, so let's eat together."

Hui Yuan Ai's face was slightly red. She was fine in the front, but the blatant lies later and the weird guilt in her heart made her unable to maintain her cool face.

If, no, there is no if, after her day's struggle, her expectations and hopes are far greater than the gloom in her heart at this moment.

She believed firmly and couldn't help but wait with excitement.

So, she wanted to do something, and the only thing she could do at the moment was a dinner that was more than sumptuous.

There is still enough time, because——

"That great detective over there, could you please help me with the ingredients?"

There is also a barely functional coolie.

"Ah?"

"You want to eat for free? Then you'd better go back and let your sister Xiaolan cook for you."

Conan looked depressed as he was left with simple and laborious tasks such as thawing, peeling and so on.

Conan really couldn't understand Haihara Ai, but he was certain that this meal was definitely not for him.

Something is wrong!

Chapter 81: Once it comes, make peace with it

Shimizu Koji drove the car all the way home, and for the first time, he opened the Kudo family's garage.

After walking out of the garage and looking back at the rolling shutter door that was slowly falling, Koji Shimizu suddenly had an inexplicable intuition.

This place seems to have really become his home.

That guy Kudo Shinichi——

To be honest, Shimizu Koji has considered the situation he is facing. He is very pessimistic, not only because it is not him who has become smaller, but because it is bizarre that this person can become smaller.

To grow bigger——is that amount of energy that needs to be consumed really provided by the antidote to the drug that Conan is pursuing?

And if there is such an antidote, if the elixir used to turn the living dead into bones is sold to the emperor next door, maybe it can be replaced by some general Dangdang.

-

"Ding-dong-"

The doorbell rang, and the three people who were busy in the house looked up. At some point, the dusk had already put away its tail, leaving only a deserted darkness outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"I'll open the door."

Putting down what he was doing, Haiyuan Ai didn't care too much. Under the eyes of Conan and Dr. A Li, he jumped off the bench.

I wanted to run quickly, but was limited by my slippers, so my movements were a little weird, but I quickly walked to the door, tiptoed a little, twisted the door handle, and opened the door.

Of course, Haibara Ai knew that she was a little out of character and might even reveal something. She had imagined such a situation a few hours ago and warned herself how to calm down when the time came.

But in fact, no one, least of all she, could keep calm when this heavenly hope came.

Well, when Koji Shimizu saw the person who opened the door was a little loli whose eyes could not hide her excitement and anticipation. Haibara Ai had never had such a cute expression before. He couldn't help but smile slightly and reached out to touch her head.

"First, let's eat."

It was Haiyuan Ai who spoke first. She took a step back, her ears were reddish, her expression was complicated and unnatural, she turned around and walked quickly back into the house.

She endured a lot of doubts and didn't mind waiting a little longer.

Shimizu Koji put on his slippers at the entrance and followed slowly.

"Koji, you're back~."

"Yes, Doctor."

“I’m back——.”

Conan walked out of the kitchen bar with a long voice, as if he had some resentment.

Qingshui Koji glanced at him doubtfully, then turned to look at Haihara Ai and the doctor.

"Huh? Why did you cook so many dishes?"

With just one glance, Shimizu Koji saw that the dishes on the table behind the kitchen bar could no longer be placed.

There are probably eight or nine dishes, but in fact, usually the three of them can eat two or three dishes, which are very good.

Even if it’s a New Year’s Eve dinner, it won’t be so sumptuous.

Faced with Qingmizu Koji's doubts, before the doctor could say anything, Haibara Ai calmly said: "The doctor has almost spoiled these things, and he can't eat them now. There happens to be one more person today, so let's all Take it out."

After hearing the words, Koji Shimizu paused and nodded. Dr. Ali smiled sarcastically and hesitated to speak, but finally nodded and did not stubbornly say that his things were indestructible.

"It's almost ready. You and Conan can wait at the dining table."

Qingshui Koji and Haihara Ai looked at each other for a few times. He originally thought that Haihara Ai would be like before, complaining, or showing some emotion like disbelief.

But I didn't expect that while she was so full of expectations, she could be so patient. It seemed that some of the words he prepared to calm her emotions were useless.

At this moment, in Shimizu Koji's eyes, Haibara Ai really looked like a little girl who was eagerly waiting for a "red envelope", but she was able to restrain herself.

In this respect, she is much stronger than Tie Zhuyu. Perhaps, this is the gap between a girl and an adult.
