Chapter 1032 The Local Flavor of Nagano

Although Haibara Ai said this, Nobumangi still heard her unspoken meaning: "What's wrong with Dr. Ali?"

Haiyuan Ai was slightly startled: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my brother. Dr. Ali recently got the flu. He was afraid of infecting us and wouldn't let us go to him."

"influenza?"

I'm sorry that Nobuhiro had to think too much. After all, the red Siamese cat had just had a near-miss virus leak crisis. The symptoms of this virus are somewhat like the flu, so it is not impossible to be misdiagnosed.

Haibara Ai saw Nobuhara's worry and said with relief: "It's not a virus infection, you don't have to worry. If the virus in the Xingluo Biological Research Base is really leaked, I'm afraid the morgue won't even have enough freezers at the moment, right?"

After that, she opened the survey website of an authoritative organization and pulled up a set of data for Nobuhiro to see: "The death rate this week is still greater than the birth rate, but there is no significant increase compared with the same period in previous years. Can you rest assured?"

"If the situation I'm worried about really happens, the data on these websites will no longer be trustworthy." Nobuhiro smiled and shook his head, closing the computer. "Anyway, I'll take you to Kudo's house first."

…

Nobushige didn't know what happened in Nagano Prefecture, but with his brother's character, he would not call him for help rashly unless it was an urgent matter.

So Nobushige decided to set off immediately.

He greeted Mouri Kogoro in advance, saying he was going to see a client, and then knocked on the door of Kudo's house with Haibara Ai.

The person who opened the door was Kudo Yusaku. Seeing them, he was obviously very surprised: "Mr. Asano, what are you..."

Nobushige smiled and said, "I have a commission from the office that requires me to travel far away. Can I ask you and Mrs. Yukiko to look after Xiao Ai for a few days?"

Kudo Yusaku lowered his head slightly and met the little girl's innocent eyes.

I saw the little girl wearing a light blue dress, a short denim jacket, a headband of the same color on her head, a bulging small schoolbag on her back, and a Hello Kitty bag with Hello Kitty printed all over her arms. Pillow.

"Xiao Ai is so cute." Kudo Yusaku couldn't help but admire and said to Nobutano, "Of course it's no problem. When will you pick her up?"

"If things go well, I can come back the day after tomorrow. If things don't go well, it may take longer."

Kudo Yusaku nodded: "Then Xiao Ai will stay with me these days, don't worry."

"That's really helpful, thank you."

Nobushige bowed to him and thanked him, then patted Haihara Ai on the shoulder and said, "Brother is not around, you have to take care of yourself."

"Yeah!" Hui Yuarai nodded heavily.

Seeing this, Nobuhiro safely handed Xiao Ai to Kudo Yusaku and drove towards the station.

After his brother's car disappeared around the corner of the road, Haibara Ai looked away and looked at Kudo Yusaku.

"Xiao Ai, have you had breakfast?" Kudo Yusaku said as he closed the door and walked inside.

Haihara Ai narrowed her eyes slightly and said loudly: "Kudo Shinichi should have told you my identity, Mrs. Kudo Yukiko."

Kudo Yusaku's movements did not pause, but there was a smile in his eyes: "Yukiko went out to watch a movie, not at home."

"You do disguise yourself very well and can deceive most people, but compared with the disguise master I have been in contact with since I was a child, you are still far behind." Haiyuan Ai pointed out unceremoniously, "Whether it's the look, Both the gait and the way he talks are different from the real Yusaku Kudo. Besides, the reason why you wear high-collar clothes is to hide the voice changer on your neck, right?"

Kudo Yukiko finally stopped, turned around and looked at Haibara Ai seriously. She asked curiously: "Who is the disguise master you are talking about, Mr. Asano?"

Haiyuan Ai raised his eyebrows: "Are you kidding me? It's too obvious. But I don't mind telling you that when I met that person, she wasn't Asano Nobushige's sister."

The third person pronoun used by Haibara Ai is "あの人", and it is impossible to distinguish between male and female, but Kudo Yukiko guessed it right away.

"It turns out it's her." Kudo Yukiko smiled wistfully, "Okay, I should have guessed that I can't fool you. I made oatmeal, do you want some?"

Haibara Ai sat down opposite Yukiko at the dining table and watched Kudo Yukiko serve her porridge: "It's not just me, my brother also noticed it. He's just not interested in your bad taste."

"Ah, so that's it?" Kudo Yukiko smiled, "But Mr. Asano is really good at taking care of children. Your appearance today is so cute. My heart melted when I saw you. What else can I do? Are you thinking about imitating things?"

"Where did Mr. Kudo Yusaku go?" Haibara asked sadly.

Kudo Yukiko handed the bowl to her: "Book signing, this is his most common job in Japan."

"I understand." Haibara Ai nodded with understanding: "He went to investigate matters related to the organization, and Edogawa followed him, most likely still following... After all, I don't think you want him to be involved. "

Kudo Yukiko: "..."

Couldn't the delicious porridge she made stop Hui Yuan Ai's mouth? This girl is only eighteen years old, how can she be so sharp? ?

Haiyuan smiled sadly: "It seems I was right."

Kudo Yukiko sighed helplessly: "Yes, you are really awesome. I think I already know what you are going to do."

"Then will you cooperate with me?" Haiyuan Ai raised his eyebrows, "How can you not experience such an exciting thing as investigating an organization?"

"I only do what I want to do." Kudo Yukiko stretched out her hand towards Haibara Ai.

Haiyuan Ai shook his hand back: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

…

Nobushige walked out of the JR Railway station, and the dazzling sunshine of Nagano Prefecture immediately hit him, scrambling to warm all the skin that could be illuminated along all the cracks.

The area near the station is always one of the busiest places in the city. Most of the people around speak Nagano dialect, but there are also foreigners speaking other dialects mixed in.

Xinfan stepped forward and was about to walk towards the roadside when a smell of meat, cereals, vegetables and roasting suddenly hit his nostrils, hooking his stomach and stopping him in his tracks.

Nobushige looked towards the place where the scent came from - it turned out to be a vendor selling okonomiyaki from a cart.

His business is pretty good, but most of his customers are tourists from out of town, and few real locals seem to stop in front of his stall.

Out of curiosity, Nobuhiro walked closer.

Okonomiyaki, a delicacy that every household in Nagano Prefecture has a unique recipe for, is also filled with memories of his childhood. Looking back on the past, it seems that the smell of okonomiyaki is still in the air.

It's a pity... Nobuhiro sighed helplessly. He seemed to have forgotten the taste of the okonomiyaki made by his mother.
