Conan, My Neighbor Kurosawa Jin

"Maybe there is no chance?" Haiyuan Ai's voice was a little hoarse. He kept looking at the painting with his head lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.

"No chance?" Ayumi and the others looked at Haihara Ai in confusion.

"Maybe it's because I didn't have time to take a family photo, or maybe it was because I decided to bury it here at the last minute, so I wasn't prepared." Conan stood aside and said quickly. They didn't know that both Huihara Ai's parents died, and his sister also died. For one thing, they had always thought that Haihara Ai was allowed to stay at the doctor's house because her parents were busy.

If they were allowed to guess that Hui Yuan Ai's parents were dead and he was the only one left in the family, they would definitely take various actions, which might bring trouble to Hai Yuan Ai and even expose the true identity of the two of them. identity.

So it's better that they don't know.

"This...okay!" This may indeed be true. They sometimes do this kind of thing. They want to show that someone will not post a photo, but instead draw the other person's appearance. Ayumi's notebook has this I drew a lot of things about the Teen Detective Team.

Looking at the painting in front of them, Ayumi and the others stood there a little disappointed, as there would be no treasure in this case.

But soon they cheered up again. Now that they had found the surprise, they had to quickly give this thing to the owner of the box.

They remembered that in the previous letter on the box, the owner of the box had left his name and class, and they could find each other's home based on this.

"Dr. A Li, where is the letter from yesterday? Quickly find out the name of the owner of the box and which school he is from?" Mitsuhiko and the others asked excitedly as they surrounded Dr. A Li.

"I brought this and gave it to you here." Dr. Ali took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to them. Fortunately, he took the letter with him.

"Ni Guyue, Grade A, Gushan Primary School."

"Where is Gushan Elementary School? I don't think I've heard of it." Ayumi thought about it and shook her head.

"Me neither." Mitsuhiko and Genta shook their heads together.

"This school doesn't seem too far away from us. I remember it was nearby." Conan thought the name of this elementary school sounded familiar. After thinking about it, it happened to be a school near his home.

It's just that this elementary school happens to be in the opposite direction from Didan Elementary School, so although he has heard of it, he has never been there.

"Ahem, Furuyama Elementary School is now called Ioto Elementary School. The name was changed a few years ago due to some things." Dr. Agasa stood aside and coughed, using his own voice to suppress Edogawa Conan's voice.

Qingteng Elementary School has been renamed for nearly six or seven years, and of course Ayumi and the others have never heard of it.

"That's it, let's go there quickly!"

Hearing Dr. A Li's cough, Conan realized something was wrong and quickly laughed and said.

He didn't expect that the school had changed its name, and it seemed like it had been a long time.

"Okay." Although they felt that Conan and Dr. Ali's behavior was a bit strange, they didn't think much about it.

Only Haibara looked at Edogawa Conan nonchalantly, with a look of ridicule on his face.

Now, after listening to Dr. Ari's reminder, Jinguchi thought that it was normal for Furuyama Elementary School and Ayumi and the others not to know about it, but Jinguchi did know about this school and had even been to it.

When he went there a few years ago, Furuyama Elementary School had already been renamed, but Imaguchi went there earlier, and he learned from others that Ivy Elementary School was originally called Furuyama Elementary School.

Because he had nothing to do at the time, he even visited the elementary school and even served as a volunteer for a few days to help assist the teachers.

But this was all five or six years ago. Conan and the others are only seven years old now. How could he know the name Gushan Elementary School?

Because they felt that the previous name was not nice enough, the name Qingteng Elementary School was more elegant, so it can be said that the name of their school was forced to change. Even the records in recent years and some introduced stone tablets have all caused them to change their names. If they hadn't paid attention before, it would have been impossible to know their original names.

The doubts that had already dissipated in Imago's heart came to mind again, and gradually deepened.

Conan knows the original name of this elementary school, or someone around him went to Gushan Elementary School a few years ago, told him the name, and then did not come back in the past seven or eight years.

But this was just a small thing originally. Even if it was used to chat, it would not be said. What's more, Conan's tone makes people think that he can determine the location of Qingteng Elementary School.

And this is obviously impossible for someone who has only heard of it but never been there to do it. What's more, if he had really been there, he would know that Gushan Elementary School is now called Qingteng Elementary School.

Either he had seen or heard about Gushan Elementary School, but did not know that the school had been renamed. But in this case, there is absolutely no way that Conan is only 7 years old.

Imaguchi looked at the familiar boy in front of him, and the suspicion in his heart could be said to be getting deeper and deeper. In his heart, he had even confirmed the true identity of Edogawa Conan - Kudo Shinichi.

Edogawa Conan, who was walking in front, suddenly trembled, his right eyelid twitching, and his heart was throbbing.

"What's wrong, Shinichi?" Seeing him suddenly stop, Dr. Ari asked quietly.

"I have a bad feeling." Kudo Shinichi's face looked a little ugly, and he felt a little bad.

"Ha, you'd better say less, otherwise your identity won't be hidden for long." Hui Yuan Ai laughed as he walked away. He said those few words just now. As long as he is more cautious, there will definitely be problems with his identity.

Haibara Ai doesn't care whether Kudo Shinichi's identity will be discovered, but if it can be discovered that Kudo Shinichi has become Edogawa Conan. Then someone will definitely notice him suddenly appearing next to him, and then Haihara Ai herself will be in trouble.

"I know." Edogawa Conan nodded seriously and decided to be more cautious when speaking in the future.

Fortunately, only a few of them heard it just now. Mitsuhiko and the others probably didn't hear what they said clearly.

……

Qingteng Elementary School is not too far from Dr. Ali's home. In terms of distance, it is closer than Didan Elementary School, but it looks more ordinary and smaller.

At this time, classes at Qingteng Elementary School had already ended. The security guard standing in the security room saw how many people were walking into the school. He quickly got up and stood at the gate to ask them what their purpose was.

These elementary school students don't look like their students, they look a bit unfamiliar!

"Hello, what's going on with you guys?"

"Hello, we want to ask about something." Dr. Ali handed over the letter in his hand and asked the security guard if he had any impression.

"I don't know, I have worked here for just five or six years, and this letter must have been written at least seven or eight years ago, I don't know.

But I can ask my master for help. My master has been working here for thirty years. "The security guard shook his head after looking at it twice, and then looked at them.

"Okay, I'll bother you then!" They were a little disappointed when they heard that the security guard didn't know, but then suddenly heard that someone might know, and they all looked at the school security guard in surprise.

"You're welcome, but you have to wait a moment. My master went to the toilet and will probably be back soon." As soon as the young security guard finished speaking, he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw that his master was coming towards him. While walking.

He ran over quickly and told what happened before the other party asked.

"A former student?" The security guard took the letter in surprise, looked at the name and class on it, and then looked at the people in front of him.

Finally nodded and said with some sigh.

"I'm afraid the person you are looking for is not that easy to find."

"What's wrong? Did something happen to the other party?" The young detective team looked nervously at the security guard in front of them, fearing that the other party would say bad news.

"No, you have misunderstood me. I am afraid that the person who wrote this letter is quite young now. Even with this letter, it may be difficult for you to find information about the other party.

This letter paper was specially customized and was used to distribute to classmates for homework, and this patterned paper must be from at least thirty years ago.

There are almost seven or eight students who use this kind of paper. It may not be easy to find someone among them. What's more, it's been such a long time, and there probably aren't many people in the school who knew what happened at that time.

Even I, who had just arrived at that time, don’t have many relevant memories. "The old security guard shook his head and slowly explained that he had worked in the school for more than 30 years and was considered an old employee of the school. Everyone older than him had almost retired.

"Is the owner of the letter already so old?" Ayumi and the others looked at the box in their hands in amazement. They originally thought it was just a sister who was about the same age as Sister Xiaolan and Sister Imaguchi, but they didn't expect it to be an aunt?

"Is there an older teacher in the school?" Conan also felt that the matter was a bit difficult for a while, but still asked.

If they don't have such a great teacher, they can go directly to investigate the information, but it will be more troublesome. I don’t know if the information from 30 years ago can still be found, whether the information is complete, and whether the other party has moved.

"You are lucky. There is indeed a teacher in the school who was more than 30 years ago. It's just that he is too old now, so he goes to work in the library. He happens to be on duty today." The old security guard nodded. They were indeed lucky. The old teacher is about to retire now. Apart from reading books in the library, he hardly cares about anything anymore. It is almost impossible to find him.

"Great."

"Grandpa, can you let us in?"

"Please grandpa, we can just go in and ask a few questions."

Because in order to get in, they all spoke very sweetly and acted coquettishly.

The security guard looked at them and didn't say anything. He just asked for their ID cards, registered them at the door, and let them in.

School is over now, and there are not many people in the school, not to mention the two adults and the five children, so they are not afraid of what they will do.

"We are so lucky today! This way we can quickly find out the identity of the aunt, and then we can give her things."

"You can also ask about this hidden guide map then. I'm still very curious!"

The young detective team were chattering, their expressions very relaxed.

Now Kouxin was visiting Qingteng Elementary School and followed them into the library.

It felt a little strange when I stood at the door before, but now I feel more and more familiar when I walk in. It seems that this elementary school has not built anything in the past few years. It is still the previous teaching building, the previous garden, and the previous houses and furnishings.

Because the school is not a big one, the library arrived quickly.

There was a light on in the library. Imaguchi Kokoro and the others knocked on the door and heard "Come in" from inside.

A few people walked in together. There was an old man with white hair sitting on the sofa in the room. He looked very kind. He had a book in his hand and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face. He looked very knowledgeable at first glance. Erudite.

"Who are you?" The old man in the room looked at them in confusion. School should have been out for a long time now, and these children didn't look like students from Qingteng Elementary School.

"Hello, we are the Junior Detective Team. We are here to ask the teacher a question." Mitsuhiko and the others said proudly, and then faced the old teacher's gaze, they couldn't help but feel defeated, and scratched their hands a little shyly. Scratching his head, he told them all their origins.

"So you want me to help find someone?" The old teacher was indeed a little surprised, but he was very interested in what they said. He raised his hand and asked for the letter paper and the painting the other party drew.

The old teacher looked at the two things, recalled his memory, and then nodded.

"I guess I know who you're talking about."

"You know?"

"She is your student?"

Conan and Haihara Ai spoke together, and everyone felt it was a bit too coincidental.

"That's right. I taught her for a while before. The surname Nigu is quite special, and she also left me with a deep memory. I still remember some things about him." The old teacher nodded, then stood Get up and lead them to the archives room.

As they walked, they talked about Niguyue.

"I remember that Ni Guyue was a pretty girl with short hair. She was relatively introverted, but also strong. Her academic performance was good, and although she didn't have many friends, she was quite popular.

The teachers all liked her, but it was a pity that she left after being here for a year and a half. "

The old teacher said and took them to the archives room, then rummaged through it and took out a file.

On the file is a very fair little girl with short black hair. She smiles sweetly at the camera and looks very cute.

The information filled in his file was not complete as everyone thought. Fortunately, the key information was there. While Conan and the others were listening to the story, they also obtained Ni Guyue's home address and phone number from the file.

After making a call but no one answered, Conan was not too surprised. It had been 30 years, so it was very unlikely that the phone number would still be the same.

Seeing that it was already six or seven o'clock, they did not bother the old teacher and the others anymore, but left Qingteng Elementary School with what they wanted.

"What should we do now? Do you want to continue calling? Or should we go to her house to visit." Mitsuhiko looked at Conan and asked.

"Let's go to her house and have a look first. After calling for so long, we probably can't get through." Conan put down the phone at hand. The probability of getting through the phone was too small, so he might as well go to her house and have a look. Even if he moved, he could still get through. Find some clues.

"But what did the library teacher mean just now?" Yuantai asked in confusion. When they mentioned the owner of the box, why did the old teacher have such a strange expression and look at the letter with some pity.

"Maybe it's because she loves her family very much, that's why the teacher in the library said that this wish is normal, and I am indeed what she wants most in her heart." Ayumi was a little confused, and after thinking for a while, she said A situation that I think is more likely.

"Because the teacher's eyes are too pitiful." Haiyuan Ai suddenly said, then looked up at the flowers and plants aside, "Maybe this painting is her wish!"

"Ah?" Ayumi and the others were a little surprised, and then they heard Imaguchi, who had been silent, suddenly speak.

"I think this may be her ideal parents and brother, the home she looks forward to! This painting should depict her biggest wish and the most precious thing in her heart." Imaguchi stretched out his hand and spanked Conan He held the painting in his hand and touched the scenery on it.

"Ideal? Sister Imaguchi, do you mean that her parents are not good to him?" Ayumi asked.

"No, judging from the brush strokes of this painting, the person who painted this painting should not be very old, about the same age as you, or maybe a little older than you.

But this painting clearly depicts his parents, brother and sister, but the people in the painting are obviously about the same age as his brother, or even bigger.

And this is obviously abnormal. Coupled with the teacher's words, I guess that none of the girl's parents and brothers have passed away. She should have painted this painting based on her fantasy and their photos.

It is precisely because of this that there is no group photo. "

Imaguchi sighed inwardly and expressed his guess.

"But, it's also possible that the brother and sister are twins of about the same age!"

"In other words, my sister is taller than my brother."

"The kids are all about the same size. We are all about the same size, but I am a little taller than them."

Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta's faces changed a little after hearing Imaguchi's guess.

They quickly thought of various reasons and possibilities, and what I said in my heart was definitely the worst one among the many possibilities. They were all a little angry for a while.

"I'm just talking about my conjectures. It would be better if they are fine." Imaguchi did not interrupt their various conjectures. If he was really wrong, that would be a good thing.

But they didn't notice it, but when Imaguchi looked at it in his heart, he noticed that on the file, other students all had their parents' names, and Ni Guyue's family information was indeed her grandparents.

He hoped that he was just being distracted for a while, but these phenomena made him have to think more.

Imaguchi's words made the young detective team feel depressed, but Dr. Ari and Conan knew that Imaguchi's conjecture was indeed reasonable, and Haibara Ai had been silent since the investigation.

Conan and the others also knew that it was because of Haihara Ai's parents, so they did not take the initiative to explain anything. After all, no matter how much others talked about this matter, they were just watching and could not empathize with it.

The address Ni Guyue left before was in Sanchome, and they arrived not long after they left.

I knocked on the doorbell with the light on in front of me, but no one answered.

It wasn't until a while later that a woman in an apron came out, apparently cooking.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" The woman opened the door and saw a bunch of children standing at the door of her house, feeling a little strange.

"Hello, are you Aunt Ni Guyue?" Ayumi looked expectantly at the woman in front of her.

"Yes, what do you want from me?" The woman nodded, looking a little nervous at Ayumi who asked the question.

"We dug up the treasure box you buried in the park before. Inside the treasure box..., then we went to the park and just found the key to open the treasure box..." Hearing her say that she was Ni Guyue, Ayumi blinked. Then the child lit up and told them about the treasure chest they dug.

"What's in the treasure box?" The woman's eyes suddenly lit up and she looked at Ayumi.

"Inside the treasure chest..." Ayumi was about to speak, but Conan silenced her.

"Of course there are treasures in the treasure box! Aunt Nigu, the things in the treasure box are so valuable, why did you just bury them?" Conan said pretending to be innocent, and then gestured with his hands in an exaggerated way.

"Really, what kind of treasure?" The woman smiled immediately, staring at Conan, and looking at the box in their hands to grab it.

But Conan dodged it all of a sudden.

At this moment, everyone realized that something was wrong. Ni Guyue's treasure box contained paintings drawn by herself. Even if she no longer remembered it, how old was she when the treasure box was buried?

How could the things inside be very valuable?

"These are these beautiful little stones! Aunt Nigu, I wish you happiness every day, happiness every day, and happiness every day!" Conan said, making a gesture of blessing and setting off fireworks.

The woman in the room looked at the ordinary stones of different colors in the box, but her face suddenly turned ugly. She was about to lose her temper, but she looked around the room and endured it.

"You can play with this thing yourself, I have something else to do!" With that, he kicked them out and closed the door.

Conan and the others left the yard, but their faces all turned ugly. Ayumi and the others were pale and trembling.

"Conan, has something happened to Aunt Nigu? The person inside is not Aunt Nigu, right?"

The stones that Conan showed her were given to them by the teacher of Ivy Primary School when they left because they were interested in them.

I also asked them to bring Ni Guyue a belated graduation gift, but the woman in the room didn't know anything.

Even if she couldn't remember what she put there, she shouldn't mistake the stone for what she put there!
