Chapter 33 Conan's Phone Call
Originally, I was planning to continue playing with Ai Huihara, and understand her mental state while playing, but just after finishing the massage and folding the corners of the quilt for her, a phone call came in.
"Huh? It's Kudo's call."
Kouji Shimizu was talking to Ai Huihara, but the little girl's face was ruddy at this time, and she didn't seem to care about what he said.
"Moshimoshi."
But as soon as Koji Shimizu answered the call, Ai Huihara quickly regained her composure and listened in openly and attentively.
"Kouji Junior, you called me yesterday, what's the matter? I was busy with a case at that time, so I'm sorry."
"Nothing, I just want to ask you, do you know a little girl named Ai Huihara? About seven or eight years old."
"Ai Huihara, little girl? Koji Junior, what are you talking about, how can I know a child of that age."
"Isn't it your relative's child?"
When Koji Shimizu asked this, Kudo Shinichi on the other side was obviously silent for a while, and seemed to have begun to infer something from his words.
"Is this the child who found my house?"
"Yeah."
"Is that so? But, that's not right, I really don't know anyone with the last name of Huiyuan."
"Could it be that she found the wrong person? Maybe she wants to find Dr. Agasa? Well, how about I let Conan go over and take a look." Conan on the other side was also a little confused.
Dr. Agasa?
Shimizu Koji and Huiyuan Ai looked at each other.
Shimizu Koji's meaning was very clear, do you have any impression?
And Huiyuan Ai's eyes changed, and finally, she nodded slowly.
"Okay, I seem to remember that he, he is a very fat grandfather."
"It's okay, Senior Kudo, this little girl is indeed looking for Dr. Agasa."
The information matched, Shimizu Koji explained and hung up the phone directly.
And Huiyuan Ai secretly rejoiced in her heart, fortunately she had come twice before.
She knew that there was a family called Agasa next to Kudo's house, and she happened to see it once, the fat old man watering in the yard.
The information that Kudo Shinichi inadvertently revealed just now was quite a lot for her. At least it was not difficult to see that Kudo Shinichi, or that Edogawa Conan, was very familiar with that Dr. Agasa.
It was even possible that Dr. Agasa knew that Edogawa Conan was Kudo Shinichi.
Although Shimizu Koji could contact the two, it was obvious that he didn't know.
Huihara Ai didn't want to involve an ordinary boy like him.
"Get up and change clothes."
Far away in the horizon and close at hand, Shimizu Koji didn't expect this to be the case.
But after thinking about it carefully, there are really a lot of clues.
The white coat can explain the problem very well. Even if it is not the child of Dr. Agasa's relatives, it must be the child of a scientist familiar with his circle of friends.
In addition to knowing luxury goods like the back of his hand, being a little precocious, and a little clever, Shimizu Koji has almost confirmed and affirmed his guess.
He got up and walked out of the room. He went downstairs to heat up the somewhat cold breakfast in the microwave.
So-called breakfast, it is just two slices of bread and a glass of milk.
After a while, Ai Huihara, who was wearing new clothes, came down the stairs and entered the restaurant.
To be honest, at first sight, it really made Koji Shimizu's eyes light up.
Originally, I thought that this kind of windbreaker that looked a little like an adult would look strange on a child, but I didn't expect that Ai Huihara would wear it very well.
The hem of the beige windbreaker hung all the way to the ankles, and the proportions were just right. When Koji Shimizu looked down again, he suddenly remembered something.
He forgot to buy shoes.
But it's not his fault. He didn't have money in his hand, so he didn't think so much.
Ai Huihara looked at Koji Shimizu's eyes and focused on her bare feet again. Her brows frowned slightly, and her small toes couldn't help curling up again.
"Sorry, you may have to wear slippers to go out later."
Hearing what Koji Shimizu said, Ai Huihara nodded, knowing that he was not deliberately looking at the feet of elementary school students, so she didn't say anything.
Anyway, it's just next door.
When she came to the table, a cup of warm milk and two slices of bread were already on the table. Shimizu Koji was sitting opposite her. Huihara Ai felt a little uncomfortable.
She had never had this kind of dining experience before, but everything would change. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she hesitated for a moment, ate the bread in small bites, and drank the milk slowly.
Fortunately, these two things do not require seasoning or any cooking skills, just spend money to buy them.
Otherwise, Huihara Ai was really a little worried that two spoons of salt would be added to the milk.
——
"Hey, it's Koji, so early, come in quickly."
Dr. Agasa was not surprised by Shimizu Koji's arrival, and happily opened the door to invite him in.
Shimizu Koji nodded, and he and Huihara Ai entered Dr. Agasa's house one after the other.
And Dr. Agasa finally noticed that there was a strange little girl behind Shimizu Koji.
Shimizu Koji walked into the living room and sat on the sofa. When he turned around, he unexpectedly found that Haibara Ai was already at the door and whispered to the doctor.
Haibara Ai had a surprised expression, and it was obvious that her memory had recovered.
Although I don't know what they are talking about, and they have to whisper, this situation basically explains the problem. I came to the right place.
What Shimizu Koji didn't notice was that Dr. Agasa straightened up and took a few deep breaths of air before calming down the soul that was almost scared away.
In just a few minutes, Dr. Agasa and Huihara Ai followed to the sofa in the living room, and the three of them sat together formally.
Shimizu Koji took the lead and chuckled: "It seems that this is the child you know, Dr. Agasa."
"Ah, yes, yes, haha, I didn't expect such a coincidence to happen, thanks to you, Koji."
"It's just a coincidence, it's also a piece of cake."
Dr. Agasa laughed and was polite to Shimizu Koji, but the next moment he was glared at by the nervous Huihara Ai, and he quickly reacted and made up a story according to the words they had just discussed hastily.
"Ai is the child of a distant relative of mine. They are busy with an important research project recently, so they plan to ask me to take care of Ai for a while."
"But I didn't expect that she ran here alone in the heavy rain before I went to pick her up. Thanks to you, Koji, otherwise I really don't dare to think about how I would explain to her parents if Ai got lost."
Kouji Shimizu shook his head when he heard this, and his eyes shifted from Dr. Agasa to Ai Huihara, making both of them nervous.
"No, even if she got lost, it's her parents who are irresponsible. Such a young child actually ran away from home wearing adult clothes.
And she ran here in such a heavy rain, her parents must not have taken good care of her. She had met you before, and maybe she felt that you were closer, so she thought of running to you by herself."
Don't scold the father of the child, it's not a good thing to scold the parents in front of the child.
But Koji Shimizu never cared about these things, he was not a person who followed the rules.
At the same time, it was also because the situation yesterday was really dangerous for a child as young as Ai Huihara.
If Haibara Ai had nothing to do with the doctor, Shimizu Koji wouldn't have said this.
Most likely he would have said something like "Whose child is this? Come and pick him up."
