Chapter 248 The True Identity Revealed
I parted ways with Tsukamoto Sumi at the school gate. They were not on the same road at all. This point would not change because of their subjective will.
Of course, Shimizu Koji also had his own umbrella, so he did not get wet.
It was only a little after four o'clock in the afternoon when he returned home. It was still early for the appointment in the evening. After putting down his bag, Shimizu Koji thought about it and walked out of the house with his umbrella.
At Dr. Agasa's home, Dr. Agasa is an undisputed empty-nest elderly, and he is also the kind of otaku.
If it weren't for the arrival of Haibara Ai, it would be hard to imagine that he lived alone in such a big house, doing something at home all day long, and whether he would suffer from depression.
However, there are gains and losses. Haibara Ai's arrival made the house more lively, but it also made his days of eating and drinking go away. It would be fine if he had only plain soup every day, but Shimizu Koji would appear at his house on time at mealtime, enjoying a completely different treatment from him.
"Ding Dong——."
"Dr. Agasa, good afternoon."
"It's Koji, come in quickly, why are you here so early today?"
Dr. Agasa smiled, and he didn't have any dissatisfaction with Shimizu Koji because of the difference in usual treatment.
He is actually a very caring person, consistent inside and out.
Shimizu Koji walked into the entrance hall, while changing his own special slippers, he casually replied: "Well, it rained, and there were some things in the evening, so I came back early."
"Hey wait——."
"Hmm?"
Shimizu Koji changed his slippers and was about to walk into the hall, but unexpectedly, Dr. Agasa closed the door and suddenly grabbed him.
Shimizu Koji was quite puzzled, Dr. Agasa scratched his bald head, and the smile on his old face became a little weird.
"Doctor, what's wrong with you? Do you have anything to say?"
"Well, Koji, don't rush in, I have something to ask you."
Dr. Agasa lowered his voice, and his posture made Koji Shimizu feel even more strange, but he still cooperated and stopped.
"Hey, Koji, are you really with Ai?"
Dr. Agasa didn't finish his words, because this was enough, and now, Koji Shimizu's face became strange.
"Doctor, who did you hear that from?"
If Koji Shimizu remembered correctly, although he and Ai Huihara often went in and out in front of the doctor, they should have never done anything excessive before.
And Dr. Agasa had obviously listened to and accepted his statement that he treated Ai as his sister.
"Uh, no, no, it was actually me-."
"It was Conan."
Dr. Agasa tried to quibble, but Koji Shimizu saw through his lie at a glance, or in other words, Koji Shimizu guessed it at the beginning.
"Uh" Dr. Agasa smiled awkwardly.
Shimizu Koji was a little speechless, but still nodded, "Yes, Xiao Ai and I are indeed dating."
"Ah this?!" Although Dr. Agasa was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Shimizu Koji admit it so decisively.
He looked carefully into the hall, and Huihara Ai was not there. He looked back carefully and observed Shimizu Koji's face.
"Koji, this, this won't be too bad, Xiao Ai is after all..."
"Oh, don't worry, doctor, I know my limits."
Shimizu Koji looked frank, without any sense of shame. Dr. Agasa opened his mouth, and many words were stuck in his throat, and it was difficult to say them out for a while.
That's exactly what he wanted to say, but Shimizu Koji's words "he knows his limits" directly blocked all his words.
What is a limit?
It was at this time that Dr. Agasa suddenly felt a little uneasy about Shimizu Koji, and vaguely remembered that Shimizu Koji was a first-year student, at the age when he was most energetic and the most difficult to control.
After saying these words, Shimizu Koji saw that Dr. Agasa was silent, so he stopped explaining and turned to walk into the room.
This was his and Haibara Ai's own business. Dr. Agasa's concern was understandable and acceptable, but Conan, this guy——.
Shimizu Koji couldn't imagine for a moment what kind of mentality and what kind of words Conan had to gossip with Dr. Agasa about the things between him and Haibara Ai. He had just warned that guy once.
It couldn't be that he accidentally let it slip, right?
More than ten minutes later, Haibara Ai came up from the basement.
Shimizu Koji just went to call her, and she didn't know what to do, so she dawdled downstairs for a long time.
"What do you want for dinner?"
While wearing a clean green apron and slippers, Haibara Ai slowly walked to the sofa where Shimizu Koji was.
Her face was calm and natural, because she had not encountered the situation that Shimizu Koji encountered, and Dr. Agasa did not have the courage to talk to her about these things.
Well, including Shimizu Koji, he would not tell her about their relationship. It's not that he dared not, but that Haibara Ai's personality is like that.
You can kiss, hug and lift her up, but it's a bit difficult to get her to admit it. After all, Haibara Ai said something that was absolutely not that kind of thing.
Besides, what's the use of admitting it? It's just meaningless to tease the tiger's whiskers.
"When did you buy this apron? It's very beautiful." The words in Shimizu Koji's mouth may have been sweet now, so it's natural and handy to say nice things.
Huiyuan Ai raised her eyebrows. Although her eyes didn't change much, it was obvious that her mood was much better, just like her mouth was bent uncontrollably.
Of course, she was in a good mood. Even before coming up, she was using the computer and listening to music with headphones.
However, facing Shimizu Koji, she didn't want to show that she was in a good mood.
Because just as Shimizu Koji knew her personality, if she acted very relaxed and happy, Shimizu Koji would definitely take the opportunity
Hum.
"I bought it yesterday, um, what are you looking at?"
Huiyuan Ai suddenly glanced, and her cold little face couldn't help showing a hint of curiosity. She walked to Shimizu Koji's side.
Shimizu Koji didn't think there was anything wrong. He unfolded the newspaper in his hand generously, and by the way, he held Huiyuan Ai in his arms.
This action inevitably attracted a glare, because Haibara Ai had her own hands and feet, and originally planned to sit next to him, but Shimizu Koji would not let her go, or rather, would not let go of any opportunity to "tease" her.
But in just a second, Haibara Ai was attracted by the eye-catching headline and accompanying picture on the front page of the newspaper.
"Chris Wynyard, the daughter of a legendary actress, a new generation of legend!"
This was a newly published newspaper. Haibara Ai's eyes moved to the woman in the picture wearing a dress and holding a crystal goblet, and her small body trembled uncontrollably in an instant.
"Huh!? What's wrong with you?"
Shimizu Koji was startled and quickly lowered his head to check in front of her.
Haibara Ai no longer cared about Shimizu Koji's overly intimate behavior at this time. Her ice-blue pupils trembled slightly, and she closed the newspaper instantly with a "swish".
"No, nothing." Haibara Ai said this, and even the little fly next to her almost didn't believe it.
Two black lines appeared on Shimizu Koji's forehead. This reaction and tone, he was taken for a fool, right?
He picked up Haibara Ai from under his ribs and turned her around to face him.
"Tell the truth."
These four simple words made Haibara Ai's face, which was trying to be calm, suddenly reveal a trace of depression.
Shimizu Koji is getting more and more unserious! I thought what was going on now!
However, ignorance is not a crime, so for this reason, she didn't bother with Shimizu Koji.
In silence, Haibara Ai thought silently. Finally, her eyes drooped.
"Vermouth - this is her code name."
