Chapter 10 Confrontation

"Well, brother Qingshui, do you know who those two people are this afternoon?"

Conan stopped using the tone of a child. Koji Shimizu looked at his serious eyes, thought for a while, and sat up straight.

"I don't know, but I heard their names."

"What?! What are they called?!"

Conan stood up all of a sudden, his eyes widened, like an anxious boy.

Koji Shimizu became more and more curious about Conan, and without showing off, he nodded and said directly: "Gin, vodka, if I heard you right, they call each other by these two wine names."

"Speaking of which, you said you were a detective, are all detectives like you? How did you notice that there was a mastermind behind Sister Yami?"

Although Koji Shimizu was curious about Conan, he didn't think too much about it. In other words, he had already come up with a reasonable explanation.

This world is obviously abnormal. It is not impossible that this elementary school student has an advanced IQ, especially since it involves the profession of 'detective' which seems to be very influential in this world.

"Gin, vodka." Conan's expression was quite serious. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Koji Shimizu fiercely.

"What else?! What other information about them?!"

Shimizu Koji didn't pay attention to his rudeness. After all, Conan didn't give him a good impression in the first place. He simply shook his head and fell silent.

Naturally, Conan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He clenched his little hands into fists, lowered his head and murmured, "Damn it——, is this all there is?"

If it wasn't really inappropriate, he wouldn't be able to beat Shimizu Koji. He seriously suspected that Shimizu Koji had hidden some information. Before he arrived, it was obvious that the two men in black had communicated with Hirota Masami for a while.

"You care so much, have you seen those two men in black?"

And just in time, Koji Shimizu's calm voice was like a basin of cold water poured on Conan.

Looking up, I saw Koji Shimizu walking to the window at some point, with his back against the moonlight, making it difficult for Conan to see his face clearly.

I don't know why, but facing Koji Shimizu's indifferent gaze and questions, Conan suddenly felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

Shimizu Koji looked directly at him, and Conan's reaction made it easy for him to make this guess.

In the past few days, especially today, his mentality has changed somewhat. When he carefully compared it and found that the 'three years' he had experienced was a false time, his mentality change was especially obvious.

He had been constantly reborn and traveled back and forth, but he had gradually become numb during his short journey. He actually had some hope of being lucky enough to survive for three years this time. After coming into contact with Mingmei and accepting Mingmei's kindness, this hope became stronger. A few points.

He had some desire to live peacefully. For the first time, he had some escapism from that helpless fate.

However, after what happened today, Shimizu Koji suddenly felt a little relieved. The fate of the next time travel may come again, maybe not, but it is not something he can escape if he wants to.

Masami Hirota, or Akemi Miyano, who had always taken the initiative to take care of him and gave him some hope, turned out to have the same heavy fate as him.

So – done it!

Just one life!

What's the use of life to him? !

Gave it!

Giving me a wooden peach in return for Qiong Yao, Koji Qingshui didn't know which day he would 'die' again. Faced with Miyano Akemi's situation, he decided to at least protect her before she 'died', and at the same time try his best to help her. 'Sister' resolves the heavy fate she has been burdened with.

Under the gaze of Koji Shimizu, Conan slowly came back to his senses, wiped his cold sweat, and shook his head repeatedly.

"No, no, I'm just curious about the identities of those two gangsters. I'm sorry, Brother Qingshui, I, I may be a little impulsive."

Saying such words from Conan's mouth made him admit that he was impulsive. It had to be said, but it was a very difficult thing, even though Koji Shimizu didn't know it.

"Sister Yamei is a very good person. I heard from Uncle Maori that her lipstick was found in the house of the robber named Kaizuka, but I didn't believe she would do such a thing, so I investigated all the way. ”

"But I didn't expect that I was still late -"

Conan suddenly fell silent. He suddenly woke up like a dream and recalled the situation when he arrived in the afternoon.

At that time, Koji Shimizu seemed to be ambushing, and the two men in black were only talking to Hirota Masami.

If, if he hadn't suddenly appeared, Shimizu Koji would also be exposed and Gin would shoot directly.

Conan's hand gripped his shorts harder and harder. The room was quiet except for the sound of his breathing, which continued to amplify.

"Do not blame you."

When Koji Shimizu looked at Conan's condition, he roughly knew what he was thinking. He did not regard Conan as having the IQ of an elementary school student, so it was not difficult to understand him.

"I didn't have any good ideas. At that time, that blond man, or should I call him Gin, he gave me a very bad feeling."

"If you hadn't suddenly appeared, I might not have been able to rush in at all, and there was no way to change the final result. Oh, maybe, I would have died there too."

When Qingmizu Koji said the last thing, he chuckled. Conan stared at him blankly, as if there was something stuck in his throat, but he couldn't say anything.

"Don't look at me like that, kid. I don't blame you, but if it's a similar situation, you cannot shirk your responsibility."

Conan was silent for a moment and nodded, "Sorry."

Kouji Shimizu smiled faintly, looked up at the night sky, "Okay, you've finished asking questions, it's time for you to go home? Do you want me to take you home?"

Kouji Shimizu's jumping topics made Conan a little uncomfortable. The rhythm of the conversation was led by Koji Shimizu from the beginning, and now, he was once again being driven out of his home by this guy!

Putting aside the heavy mood brought by the scene in the afternoon, he remembered the sentence "Why are you still here" just now.

Moreover, he was 80% sure that Koji Shimizu must have concealed a lot of information from him, because he looked down on him as a child and called him a brat.

"Ah, there's no need to take me home, Uncle Maori's house is in Go-chome."

Conan stood up and walked towards the door. At this time, he seemed quite polite and did not ask Koji Shimizu to take him home, but Koji Shimizu still decided to take him home.

However, the next moment, Conan just walked to the door of the living room, turned the doorknob and turned his head back, smiling shyly at Shimizu Koji:

"By the way, I forgot to say, Brother Shimizu, although my cousin will not ask you for rent, you have to bear the daily maintenance expenses of the villa and the courtyard~."

It was almost nine o'clock when Conan left, and around ten o'clock, Shimizu Koji received a call from Kudo Shinichi.

That is, the cousin mentioned by Conan, Conan asked him for his number.

Nothing else was said on the phone, just expressing his appreciation for Shimizu Koji in the tone of a senior and a celebrity detective. Although it sounded reasonable, Shimizu Koji inexplicably felt a little strange.

And at the end, Kudo Shinichi also mentioned that sentence specifically, just like Conan's elementary school student.

"So, you can rest assured to stay here. I will never charge rent, but I'll leave the daily maintenance expenses to you, Junior Brother Shimizu~."
