As he spoke, Serabelle called up a subfolder in the video folder that specifically stored the content captured by the camera in the front hall.

This was a safety operation he added temporarily out of caution. After all, although most of the time when Xiaolan came here to meet Kisaki Eri, they met in the office, the problem was that every time Serabelle came here by herself, she did that with Kisaki Eri in the office. It would be interesting if she accidentally pulled it up when fast-forwarding the timeline.

So it is better to look for it in the video folder of the lobby camera first, and then switch to the office camera after finding the scene of Xiaolan entering the office.

Perfectly eliminate the possibility of the above embarrassing situations.

As expected of me.

The timeline went from front to back, and Serabelle quickly found the video of Xiaolan's first visit after the office's surveillance system was installed.

"This was around autumn last year." Serabell pouted.

To be honest, judging from the video, there is nothing particularly exciting or memorable in the surveillance video. It is simply that the mother and daughter, who are busy with their own work on weekdays, finally get together on the weekend to meet and chat.

However, even so, Xiaolan still looked at it very seriously.

So Serabelle played several video clips for her in succession.

"This... this... and this..."

The timeline was pulled towards the end little by little, but Serabelle, who kept pressing the right arrow key on the keyboard throughout the process, was completely unaware of it.

Until Xiaolan appeared in the camera screen in the front hall again.

But what was quite strange this time was that every time Xiaolan came, she would carry a small bag on her back or hold snacks and milk tea she bought to share with Kisaki Eri, but this time when she came, she was carrying a schoolbag on her back, and she looked like she was worried about something in the picture.

In the video, the unicorn girl walked in and went straight to the office door as usual, but just as she was about to reach out to open the door, she stopped, and her whole body seemed to be frozen, motionless.

"Huh? Is the video stuck?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

"No...I don't think so."

Serabelle moved the mouse downwards and took a look at the progress bar, which was indeed moving.

Shouldn't it?

Just as he was hesitating whether to fast forward a little to see what was happening next, Xiaolan on the screen started moving again.

I saw her leaning against the wall next to the door frame with difficulty, and then squatting down on the ground little by little.

A familiar location...

In a flash, the pool of warm liquid that she had found at the door of the office flashed through Serabelle's mind.

He tapped the spacebar to pause the video.

The sudden action caught Xiaolan off guard and gave her a slight fright.

"Hey, what's wrong? And the person on the screen is me, right? Am I sitting down at the door?"

"This one……"

Serabelle didn't have time to think about how to explain it, and dragged the mouse towards the x point in the upper right corner as quickly as possible, trying to close the player.

But it didn't close.

The next second after he paused his spacebar, a colorful advertisement covering about three-quarters of the player popped up as the video paused, blocking the player interface and turning it gray.

If you want to turn off the player, you must first remove the advertisement.

Thanks!

Serabelle, who usually remained calm even when faced with a catastrophe, also had a slight change in mentality at this moment.

But just as he moved the mouse to the ad close button and was about to click it, the unicorn girl sitting below him suddenly let out a soft "ah" and pointed at the ad on the screen.

“I have an impression of this amusement park.”

amusement park?

After hearing this, Serabelle took a serious look at the pop-up ad.

What... Dorobiga Tropical Amusement Park?

“I think I’ve been to this place before.”

The unicorn girl said firmly.

Chapter 537 Auntie's Crazy Assistance

Judging from the conversation when they went out for noodles before, the mental shock last night obviously only caused Xiaolan to lose her past life memories, rather than causing deeper damage such as mental damage.

Simply put, Xiaolan is still a mentally healthy 17-year-old girl, but she doesn't know who she is, what she did in the past, or who she knows.

In other words, given her current condition, as long as she is told to stay here and not run around, it is generally unlikely that anything will go wrong even if no one is watching her afterwards.

However, considering that it was Inliber's mother who asked her to help take care of the child, Serabell stayed.

And thanks to the experience of being pestered by a tiger-toothed girl at home on weekends, Serabelle has quite a bit of experience in raising children.

That’s right, the best way to kill time and divert your attention is to watch a movie.

From eleven in the morning until three in the afternoon, for a full four hours, the two of them, each sitting in a chair, sat side by side in front of the computer that Kisaki Eri used for her work, and watched two full movies.

In fact, to be precise, Serabelle showed a total of three movies, but one of them was a horror movie, and Xiaolan was so scared that her face turned pale after just watching the narration at the beginning. Even with Serabelle accompanying her, she covered her face and refused to watch any further, so she had to give up.

Just like that, as the ending song of the last movie sounded in the office, the sound of wind chimes could be faintly heard in the front hall of the office outside.

"what?"

Xiaolan, who was originally immersed in the plot of the movie, suddenly pricked up her ears and looked curiously towards the office door, as if she wanted to see through the door to the outside.

"It seems... Is there someone outside?"

"probably."

Serabelle responded, then stood up with her hands on the armrests of the chair.

"I'll go take a look. If nothing goes wrong, Aunt Eri should be back."

"Oh……"

Seeing that Serabelle took the initiative to suggest going out for a look, Xiaolan stood up and followed suit.

Arriving at the office door, Serabelle pressed the door handle, opened the door and looked out.

The wind chime hanging on the door handle of the main entrance of the hall outside the office was still swaying gently. Kisaki Eri stood in front of the door and took off her bag with both hands. There was a small tail following her.

"Huh? Sera... why is my brother here too?"

Conan opened his mouth in surprise when he noticed that it was Serabelle who opened the door and stuck his head in.

"Why can't I be here?" Serabelle glanced at him.

"Oh no, that's not what I meant..."

Realizing that what he just said was a bit offensive, Conan quickly changed his words.

"I was actually thinking that if I had known earlier, I would have called you, Brother Sera, so I wouldn't have to wait downstairs for so long."

"?"

Serabelle became even more confused.

What do you mean you should have called him earlier? Is there any necessary connection between you waiting downstairs and calling him?

Conan said in a frustrated tone: "I wanted to come and see how Xiaolan was doing, but I was stopped by the sister at the front desk downstairs."

Oh, I got it.

Serabelle immediately understood. Yes, he and Xiaolan were on the white list of his aunt's office, but this kid was not.

But after what happened last time, has the security here been raised to this level? Even children in elementary school must make an appointment in advance or be accompanied by a white-listed person before they can come up?

"Well, they are all for safety reasons."

Kisaki Eri explained with a helpless smile.

"And as public security has improved, many criminals have become more and more unscrupulous. Some even use children to commit crimes. The reason why the front desk staff are so cautious is to avoid this kind of situation. Moreover, if something really happens, they will be held responsible."

As she spoke, she casually placed her bag on the desk where Ms. Kuriyama usually worked in the hall, then tilted her neck slightly and curiously glanced behind Serabelle who was standing at the crack in the door.

"Hey, Lan, you two didn't run into any trouble in the office all day, did you?"

"That's not the case. As for Miss Lan..."

Before Serabel could finish his words, he suddenly felt something pressing in front of him.

I looked down and it was indeed Xiaolan.

Although the unicorn girl had lost her memory, she still retained her agility. She lowered her head and passed directly under his elbow, then peeked out from the crack in the door.

"Ah, mom, you're back, and here's the little brother from yesterday."

"My name is Edogawa Conan, just call me Conan~"

Conan responded in a baby voice.

When Kisaki Eri heard the voice of "Mom" which was much more fluent than yesterday, she was slightly shocked. She stopped there for two seconds before coming to her senses and smiled with relief but helplessness.

"Well, my mom is back. After she finished her work in the morning, she took advantage of her free time in the afternoon to go and see a psychologist I had business dealings with before. He said that this kind of amnesia can be stimulated by contacting things that were once impressive to the memory."

"But didn't Doctor Fenghu say yesterday that there was no other way but to wait?" Serabel wondered.

“Maybe I’m too young to know.”

Kisaragi didn't take it seriously.

"The doctor I visited today has already retired and was invited to work as a consultant in a private hospital. He should have much more experience than Dr. Fenghu."

"if it is like this……"

Serabelle thought about it and told Xiaolan about her impression of Dorobiga Tropical Park when she was watching the video before.

After listening to this, Hibiki thought for a while and said, "Dorabiga, I remember that Xiaolan seemed to have been there before. She told me about this, but I don't remember the details."

Upon hearing this, Conan, who was standing by, immediately showed some signs of danger.

"Eh? Are we going to the amusement park? I want to go too. I want to go too. I want to go with Sister Xiaolan!"

"This...I'm afraid it won't work."

Kisaki Eri leaned over, supported her knees, and smiled apologetically at Conan.

"If we are going to go, I think it would be best to go tomorrow, but don't you have classes tomorrow, Conan?"

"tomorrow?"

Conan was stunned.

Logically speaking, tomorrow is Monday and he really can't go because he has classes, but why does it have to be tomorrow? Can't it be the weekend?

"Because I consider that there may be a lot of people in the amusement park on weekends. When there are a lot of people, there will be more talk and more actions. No one can guarantee that the murderer will not take this opportunity to blend in with the crowd and attack Xiaolan. In comparison, there will be fewer people going to the amusement park on Monday, so it will be relatively safer."

After saying this, Kisaki Eri stood up, looked at the ceiling, and nodded with a helpless look on her face.

"But the only problem is that I'm not free tomorrow either. How about you, Bell, help take Xiaolan to the amusement park for a day?"

"……what?"

Chapter 538: My childhood sweetheart is going to the amusement park with other men tomorrow

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and when Serabelle and Conan came out of the business building, it was already four o'clock in the evening.

As the sun sets, two figures, one tall and one short, appear beside a busy street in the city center.

Looking at the sunset slowly setting in the sky, Serabelle sighed silently.

He never expected that after taking care of the child for a day, he would have to stay for another day tomorrow...

Conan beside him also sighed, narrowed his eyes and glanced at someone next to him.

"That's great. I can go to the amusement park with Xiaolan tomorrow."

Although it can be heard that he has tried his best to control his tone and sound nonchalant, the sourness between the lines cannot be concealed.

Serabelle also squinted at him: "Anyway, I'll just treat it as taking care of the child for a day. And don't tell me you haven't been to an amusement park with her before."

"Uh……"

When this was mentioned, Conan's expression suddenly changed slightly.

It was probably that the original sourness suddenly turned into embarrassment mixed with a little guilt.
