Conan: The Unscientific Uchiha

Dr. A Li was looking at the portrait and sighing with emotion. Suddenly, there was a sound of rolling chains next to him.

Everyone looked around, and Tabata Katsuo had already taken the lead in saying hello, "Madam."

An old woman with white hair and age spots on her face slid slowly in front of them in a wheelchair.

"Is my daughter back?"

Her eyesight didn't seem to be very good, she was wearing a pair of reading glasses, her voice was hoarse and weak, and she looked gloomy and dying soon.

"Uh, no, madam, these are friends of Master Aman. This is Dr. Ali, a scientist."

The eldest lady, who was still squinting her eyes, heard this, her thin body stiffened, she slowly opened her eyes, and her eyes fell on Dr. A Li.

And her calm examination succeeded in making the broad-minded Dr. Ali feel a little inexplicably frightened.

"Aman's friend is actually a scientist. Then I'd like to ask you to help us solve the mystery he buried in this castle."

"Eh?! Puzzle!?"

The young detective team suddenly exclaimed, and even though it was the second time Dr. Ali heard it, he couldn't help but look confused at this time.

But after saying these words, the eldest lady turned around and pushed the wheelchair away slowly. When Tabata Katsuo saw this, he also took the initiative to explain to everyone again.

"It is said to be the last words left by the great master before his death. I remember this sentence - I put everything I have there, go find it! If you find it, it all belongs to you!"

For a moment, his words immediately cleared up everyone's doubts.

But just when Conan fell into deep thought, Koji Shimizu bent down and whispered to Haibara Ai beside him:

"You sleep with me tonight."

In an instant, before Haibara Ai could react, Conan's eyes widened and he looked at Shimizu Koji and Haibara Ai with dumbfounded eyes.

“You, you guys——?!”

Haiyuan Ai came back to his senses, and for a moment, Xiafei's cheeks were flushed. He quickly shook off Qingshui Koji's hand, and his eyes became very unbelievable.

——What nonsense are you talking about? !

As for Koji Shimizu, the only thing he didn't expect was that Conan's ears were so good that he heard what he said.

He didn't really have any bad thoughts. He could have continued to explain to Haibara Ai, but this guy Conan——

While Shimizu Koji was thinking about how to deal with Conan, Haibara Ai seemed to notice something from his expression. Although the blush on his face did not dissipate so quickly, he gradually regained his composure and reason.

She turned her eyes directly and stared at Conan, who looked as if he had discovered the Big Bang.

Her thoughts were spinning so fast that even Shimizu Koji couldn't keep up.

"Why, are you only allowed to be intimate with your sister Xiaolan? Are we not allowed to create some sparks of love?"

Hui Yuan Ai flipped up her temples, looking confident and elegant, even with a hint of disdain and a hint of arrogance?

Even though her face was red.

? ? ? ? ?

But this time, it was Koji Shimizu's turn to be confused again.

He admitted that part of what he said just now was indeed intentional, and he wanted to tease Haibara Ai.

But—

He felt that if it really didn't work, he could sew Conan's mouth shut, or threaten him with his Lanai-chan, but after Haibara Ai's words came out, Conan's mouth was already open to the point where he couldn't close it.

But when Qingmizu Koji's eyes returned to Haihara Ai, she stood closer to him, and even took the initiative to hold his hand again in front of Conan.

"Do you have any other opinions?" There was a hint of coldness in Haibara Ai's voice.

Conan came to his senses and shook his head like a rattle, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Koji Shimizu now had an indescribable depth to it.

Conan subconsciously took two steps, got behind Ayumi, and blocked half of her body.

Koji Shimizu saw all of this. His eyes were confused and puzzled at first, but soon became solemn.

He discovered that he wasn't really that broad-minded.

However, now is not the time to settle matters with Conan.

After taking a look at the people who had already walked up the stairs and were about to go upstairs to visit the room, Qingshui Koji took Haihara Ai's hand, and the two turned around and left the group and walked out of the gate of the castle.

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?"

As soon as they went out, the hands held by the two people separated instantly.

The blush on Hui Yuan Ai's little face faded away, and her snow-white cheeks looked like the bright moon at night, showing off the cold light.

Qingmizu Koji frowned, his expression was full of confusion and a bit solemn.

He has never doubted his own charm, but he will never take what Haihara Ai just said seriously.

When Haibara Ai saw that Shimizu Koji didn't want to explain first, he couldn't help but wrinkled his nose and snorted coldly.

It was obviously Koji Shimizu who was caught off guard and did this.

However, now that she had calmed down a little, she glanced at no one around her, turned her head, and spoke softly: "You don't think he hasn't noticed our relationship all this time, do you?"

Qingmizu Koji understood something immediately after hearing this. It's not that he didn't notice it, it's just that he didn't care about it very much.

But speaking of it now, it was indeed a problem. Ever since he knew Haibara Ai's identity, he had been subconsciously treating her as one of his own, but in Conan's eyes, the two of them seemed to be isolated in a small group.

Over time, the seeds of distrust will gradually take root and germinate.

Although Conan is the one who can't live without the two of them the most, Shimizu Koji has treated him as a friend with a special relationship for so long.

He really hadn't considered Conan's feelings before, because he had always been used to being able to come and go freely by himself, but speaking of it, it was indeed a bit unkind.

At least, as a friend in Conan's eyes, he was obviously the one who came first, but after meeting Haibara Ai, he did feel a bit like surrendering to the enemy.

Qingshui Koji's thoughts changed, and his eyes met with Haihara Ai's again. He had a vague feeling that she hadn't finished speaking yet.

"that's it?"

"that's it."

Hui Yuarai crossed his arms and looked very calm. As soon as he changed his voice, he said directly: "It's your turn now."

Of course she wouldn't say that she just thought about her sister's life after she came back.

According to the results of her discussion with Shimizu Koji, Mingmei's identity will be the maid hired by Shimizu Koji, and she will live with Shimizu Koji.

So there is no doubt that she will go to Shimizu Koji's house every day. Instead of accidentally exposing her sister, it is better to trick Conan into a fool now.

As for why she didn’t continue to tell Koji Shimizu——

Don't ask, it's just petty to ask.

It's your turn! It was obviously you who said such misleading words first!

"There's something strange about this old castle."

"Hmm, keep going, I can see it too."

"The people here are a little weird too."

Hui Yuan Ai was stunned when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he continued to nod, "Huh? What else?"

"Also, I only believe in you. I didn't sleep well last night, and I might have slept very soundly at night."

Qingshui Koji's tone was very calm and he was talking seriously. His sincere and clear eyes also intersected with Haihara Ai's curious eyes in mid-air.

Haihara Ai's ice-blue eyes seemed to open a little wider, and the figure of Koji Qingshui was only reflected in the pupils.

Some faint pink soon appeared on her fair cheeks, and she immediately looked away.

"understood."

Hui Yuan Ai pursed her lips slightly and responded in a low voice without asking any further questions.

Chapter 142 The Disappearance of Conan

And Shimizu Koji didn't lie in the first half of his sentence. Now, compared to Conan who might sell him out of recklessness, he really only believes in Haibara Ai.

But at the same time, part of the reason is that she is worried that she will encounter an accident.

The Young Detective Team is okay, they are just children, and they should sleep well at night - well, at worst, he will give Dr. Ali some advice.

But Haihara Ai and Shimizu Koji can guarantee that if there is any movement in the castle at night, she will definitely have a sleepless night.

And with him around, she would probably go to his room to explain the situation to him, but if she couldn't knock on her door then, she would probably panic completely.

So, instead of doing that, it would be better to just take her to his room and work as a doorman for him.

That's right, Shimizu Koji has decided to wait until night to use the ability that he has never had the chance and dare not use easily.

The situation this time is quite special, but it is also unexpectedly suitable for the use of his soul power. No matter what secrets this castle holds, or what conspiracies these people have, they will be able to uncover them when the time comes.

And——, after testing the ability of out-of-body experience several times in private, Koji Shimizu can even proudly say that nothing can hurt him in his soul state.

Although Mamiya always said that he would only invite them to stay for one night, Shimizu Koji had no doubt after observing that if these people found out that it was really possible for them to solve the puzzle, or they were about to be driven crazy by the puzzle, I'm afraid they will do some unexpected things.

The noble Mamiya who caresses the chess piece obsessively as if caressing his lover's slender body;

Mamiya Mitsuru, who is arrogant at first and respectful at the end, does not hide his eagerness at all;

Also, the first wife, who brought up the topic of the puzzle right after they met, was obviously in her seventies and should be a kind person who has seen through the world, but she just didn't give people a very good feeling.

These people gathered together seemed strange and disturbing, but in fact, they had no great destructive ability. Compared to them, Koji Shimizu was more concerned about the charred stone tower.

While Qingshui Koji was thinking, he looked at the majestic stone tower standing next to him, and Haihara Ai beside him was also quietly observing his expression.

"Is there any danger?"

She couldn't quite see it, but she could probably feel it vaguely.

"Huh? No, as long as you lock the door for me and stay in the room obediently, it will be fine."

Haiyuan Ai blinked. This time, he didn't have any obvious reaction to Qingshui Koji's words of 'obediently'. He just nodded seriously.

-

Time passed very quickly. Since their separation, Koji Shimizu and Ai Haibara no longer planned to join Dr. A Li.

The two of them walked around outside the castle first, and then entered the castle to continue their sightseeing aimlessly.

The Mamiya family's dinner time was also relatively early, and it was the season change between autumn and winter. Around five or six o'clock, night fell quietly, and everyone gathered again and came to the restaurant together.

The maid in a long black and white dress pushed two large dining stations on both sides of the long dining table. Koji Shimizu looked around the table, and he suddenly felt as if something was missing.

And Haibara Ai beside him had already taken the lead to speak out, asking Ayumi who looked worried across the way: "Yoshida-san, where are Edogawa-san and the others?"

"It's gone—"

Ayumi raised her head, her voice a little aggrieved, her eyes watery, as if she had lost Conan.

But in fact, it's easy to guess her thoughts. The little girl can't find the little boy she likes. This is her expression.

Genta and Mitsuhiko on the side also had low eyebrows and seemed to be blaming themselves.

Dr. Agasa was halfway through the afternoon tour when he was dragged by Mamiya Mitsuru to talk about puzzles. When he discovered that Conan was missing, he was a little shocked.

However, before he could open his mouth, Mamiya Mitsuru, who was sitting in the main seat, had already noticed his thoughts and took the initiative to explain: "Is a little guy missing? Maybe he accidentally touched some mechanism."

“I forgot to tell you before that there are many secret passages in this castle. Even for us, we cannot say that we fully understand this castle.

If he still can't come back after dinner, I'll ask my servants to look for him with you. If you really can't find him, then you can only call the police. "

When it came to calling the police, Mamiya Mitsuru paused. He actually didn't pay much attention to it. Conan, that is, a little kid got lost.

He asked his servants to accompany him to look for him, which seemed to be a concern, but in fact he himself said that as the masters, they didn't understand the castle, what could the servants do.

In fact, the current situation was exactly what he wanted. Dr. Agasa chatted with him in the afternoon. Although many of the inventions Dr. Agasa mentioned really made him feel novel, he suddenly lost his temper when he mentioned the puzzles, which made Mamiya Man was very dissatisfied. He felt that Dr. Ali was perfunctory with him and had no intention of helping him solve the puzzle.

Now, just in time, if a little boy were left behind, he estimated that Dr. Ali would soon be eager to explore the castle, and even take the initiative to use his intelligence to help him solve the puzzle.

The corner of Mamiya Man's mouth curled up, and he no longer paid attention to everyone's concerns. He raised his hand to signal the maid to open the table and unveil the dishes for everyone.

Soon, the exquisite and sumptuous dishes attracted everyone's attention, and after receiving Mamiya Mitsuru's explanation and promise, Dr. Agasa and the young detective team temporarily put Conan's disappearance behind them.

"itadakimasi (I'm starting)!"

Everyone spoke in unison, especially the voices of the three young detectives who were the most energetic. Children's emotions often come and go quickly, and happiness is just happiness.
