Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

In order to take care of Mr. Guang's frail nerves, and also possibly because he was coughing up blood again.

Those who were originally asked to rest stayed at home for two full days.

[Ding, the chills are over. Your health status is updating...]

it's over!

Summer is here! It’s time to wear short sleeves, enjoy the breeze, and eat watermelon!

The brave man was in a good mood when he woke up and heard the prompt sound of the auxiliary system!

While Mr. Guang is out,

Yun Xianhe directly took out half a watermelon from the refrigerator, sat on the porch outside the house and prepared to start eating it.

However, because the punishment of "white and black" was still there, the watermelon flesh looked gray to him.

After staring at the watermelon for a while, the brave man turned the spoon on his fingertips, tentatively scooped out a small piece and put it in his mouth.

Mmm! It still tastes like watermelon! Not the real grey watermelon!

Speaking of,

The watermelons he and Taiyang had picked on the Shiyu Plain were not only gray when cut, but also tasted quite bad.

It's really like eating wet cement!

The plants of the new era are completely different from the descriptions in previous illustrations due to the influence of various factors such as magnetic fields.

This is also the reason why Uncle Shitou got poisoned every time he ate mushrooms.

Their surprise at discovering the watermelon was directly proportional to their shock after eating it.

"Fortunately, this one just looks wrong in color..."

After comforting himself, the brave man began to eat the melon in big mouthfuls, preparing to have it as breakfast.

At least, this is the scene that Conan saw upstairs in Dr. Agasa's house.

The little detective's mouth twitched as he looked at the hero who seemed to be planning to show off the entire watermelon.

Conan was worried that the other party might get an upset stomach, so he raised his voice and shouted:

"Brother Xianhe - you'll have a stomachache if you eat that much, right?"

"Ok?"

Yun Xianhe looked up when he heard the sound, with a watermelon spoon in his mouth.

After seeing that it was Conan, Yun Xianhe waved at him.

He said that he felt like someone was watching him just now.

But that sight seemed familiar, so I didn't look up.

"Want to come over and eat with us? There's still half a piece in the fridge."

"...No, by the way! Kaito Kidd has sent out a new preview letter, have you read it, Brother Xianhe?"

"Hmm? No, I'll go check it out in a minute."

Conan looked at the person who was still eating watermelon with half-moon eyes, and when he looked up, he saw Zhufu Jingmitsu walking back from the street carrying a package.

The little detective watching the show smiled, his tone a bit gloating:

"Mr. Midorikawa is back."

"?!"

Yun Xianhe noticed his words and first looked back at the clock on the wall.

Half past eight, why are you back so early?!

What should I do! I haven’t finished eating the watermelon in my hand!

The brave man holding half a watermelon looked around.

Between the two options of putting it back in the refrigerator and hiding it in his room, he decisively chose to put it in Dr. Agasa's house.

Conan watched Yun Xianhe dragging the watermelon with one hand, and then he jumped over the wall with one hand and climbed directly into the yard of Dr. Agasa's house.

"?!"

"Put it here for a while! Conan, keep an eye on it for me!"

Yun Xianhe casually placed the watermelon on the empty flower stand by the wall, and nimbly returned to his yard with a spoon in his mouth.

Then he kicked off his slippers and rushed into the kitchen.

Wash the watermelon juice off the spoon, hands and mouth first!

Conan was still watching and didn't want to perform the watermelon's disappearance technique into the system space. Such a big watermelon is not a water cup, it would be too strange to disappear out of thin air.

As for why the watermelon in the refrigerator disappeared,

If Mr. Guang asks about it later, just say you gave it to someone, in case Conan comes over and you can't match it up.

at the same time.

Outside the courtyard wall, Zhu Fu Jingguang accidentally looked up and witnessed the entire process of Yun Xianhe hiding the watermelon: ...

I have a headache. Today is also a day when I have a headache because I don’t know how to raise my child.

"I am back."

"Welcome back! You've worked hard, Mr. Guang. Do you need my help?"

Yun Xianhe seemed very enthusiastic, which made Zhu Fu Jingguang look at him several times.

Obviously our hero is very good at hiding his traces. If we hadn't seen it just now, who would have thought that this man was eating watermelon two minutes ago.

Zhu Fu Jingguang, worried that the other party would have a stomachache, secretly observed for a while. After making sure that Yun Xianhe did not have any adverse reactions, he did not ask about the whereabouts of the half watermelon in the refrigerator.

After organizing the things I bought, I started cleaning for today.

Yun Xianhe, who always felt it was a bit weird not being asked, twirled his fingers and glanced at Zhu Fu Jingguang secretly several times.

Probably... didn't notice it?

"Ah, Mr. Guang, I'm going to go next door. Conan said he wanted to discuss the matter of Kaito Kid with me."

“…Remember to come back for lunch.”

"it is good--"

Conan waited for a while upstairs.

Then I saw Yun Xianhe strolling into Dr. Agasa's yard, then he took out a spoon from somewhere, picked up the watermelon he had not finished eating and continued to work on it.

"..."

The little detective sighed, feeling that it would take a long time for the other party to come find him.

After returning to the room and saying hello to Professor Agasa, he took the copy of Kidd's notice letter and went downstairs to find someone.

"Is it really okay for you to eat so much?"

"This watermelon tastes good, would you like some?"

“…No, look at this.”

Seeing that Yun Xianhekong did not take any action, Conan simply held up the copy of the notice letter and showed it to the other party.

"From the lion at dusk to the maiden at dawn, the clock without a second hand reaches the 12th word, descending from the bright sky tower to collect the egg of memory.

The magician of the end of the century, Kaito Kid. Oh——very handsome.”

The hero gave a vague compliment.

Conan suddenly remembered that he and Kid seemed to be good friends, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

"…Now is not the time to talk about this. Uncle Mori has been invited to the meeting, and the speculations given by Officer Nakamori are very consistent. But there is still something I don't understand about this code."

Jingle Bell--

"Wait a mininute."

Yun Xianhe stuffed the watermelon in his hand to Conan, took out his cell phone from his pocket and answered:

"Hello? Sonoko? What's going on?"

……

"Help you catch Kaito Kidd?"

Yun Xianhe was stunned for a moment when he heard this request out of the blue.

Upon hearing this, Conan, who was standing by, quickly moved closer, wanting to hear clearly what Sonoko said on the other end of the phone.

"Oh, okay. Then I will go to Osaka to find you with Uncle Maori and the others."

……

"You're welcome. See you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Yun Xianhe patted off the watermelon seeds that had stuck to his hands at some point, then took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands carefully.

"Well - since Kidd has announced that the time is tomorrow, we can talk about it then?"

Conan, whose head was rubbed twice, looked at Yun Xianhe with half-moon eyes.

He thought the other party should have guessed it, but probably just didn't want to tell him.

Damn it, we agreed to become the world's best detective together, why are you turning your elbow to the thief?

"So cunning..."

Conan complained softly, stuffed the watermelon back into Yun Xianhe's arms, and walked out with the copy of the notice letter.

The little detective put his hands behind his head and spoke in a long voice:

"I'm going to tell Brother Midorikawa that Brother Xianhe just ate half a big watermelon."

"Hey, hey—you guy!"

"Hum-"

Seeing that Conan was about to leave, Yun Xianhe raised his eyebrows slightly, stuffed the last bite of watermelon into his mouth, and said vaguely:

"Aren't you curious about what I asked Miss Miyano to do?"

"..."

"The other party revealed a lot of information, such as the code names and appearances of the members of each organization..."

"real?!"

"Oh, I was going to share this with you, but now it seems I'd better forget it."

Conan, who was originally a little excited, froze in place after hearing the second half of the sentence.

He looked back at Yun Xianhe, who was not at all panicked, and felt his fists stiffen.

……hateful!

"Um, Xianhe..."

"Huh? Who's calling me? I must be hallucinating."

Yun Xianhe stood up and clapped his hands, then took out a bag from somewhere and put the watermelon rind into it.

The brave man who destroyed the evidence was not at all panicked. He walked towards the nearby garbage recycling point with his long legs.

He remembered that today was the day to take out the garbage.

"Look at the time. It's time for lunch. If you don't go back, Mr. Guang will get anxious."

"Wait a minute, Xianhe! How about revealing a little bit?"

"I think I heard Conan's voice."

"I'll treat you to three-color dumplings!"

"I seem to hear it more clearly, is it Conan?"

"...and oden, and an additional serving of octopus balls!"

"make a deal!"

The little detective was so surprised when he heard this that his expression was beyond words.

Seeing Yun Xianhe half-crouching, he hurried over.

The brave man put his hand to his mouth, looking at the serious little detective with his head tilted, a smile on his lips.

He cooperated very well and lowered his voice:

"That Haibara-san's organization code name is Shirley."

"Uh-huh."

"Gone."

"??…ah?"

"Pfft,"

The brave man who successfully saw the confused expression on the little detective's face pursed his lips tightly and reached out to rub the other's head hard.

"Let's go, let's go home to eat."

If you don't leave now, he'll laugh out loud.

Conan realized that he had just exchanged three snacks for a piece of information. He looked at Yun Xianhe in disbelief and became furious:

"Idle Crane!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"You guy!"

"Hey, hey! Why are you still so angry? Put down the anesthetic needle! I'm going to put a watermelon rind on your head!"
