Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

“…As friends, it is normal to relax within a reasonable range.”

"Tsk, isn't this the last time you didn't let me put something in your refrigerator?"

"I would be happy if Gansuke didn't put leftovers in it."

"That's not leftovers, that's dinner, dinner! Get it!"

Yui Uehara looked at the two people who started arguing again and sighed helplessly:

"here we go again."

Xiaolan, who was standing next to her, smiled:

"It seems like Officer Morobushi and Officer Yamato have a very good relationship."

"The two of them have been friends since elementary school, and they have been competing with each other for many years."

Although it is a positive and harmless competition.

But, isn't it good for two people to be honest with each other occasionally?

Just like this time, it was clearly that guy Agan...

"Sorry - I kept you waiting. How about we have hot pot tonight?"

The brave man who came over interrupted the elementary school quarrel between the two.

Yamato Gansuke, who had a large bag of food in his hands, glanced at Yun Xianhe, then glanced at Zhu Fu Gaoming, who had nothing in his hands, and shouted with a stinky face:

"Hey, kid, you're ordering a patient around like this?"

He's still on crutches!

The brave man who was skipping towards the car turned around when he heard this and looked the man up and down.

"Officer Yamato, what's wrong with you?"

The veins on his forehead tensed up.

The patient, who was leaning on a crutch and had gauze wrapped around his head, was full of energy and asked with a grim smile:

"Can't you see?"

"correct."

Yun Xianhe even sounded justified in responding.

He looked at the man who seemed to be about to catch up with him and strangle him, curled his lips, and complained quietly:

"This isn't the time for you to attack me at noon today... Besides, those who are more capable should do more work. You are the strongest here."

Upon hearing this, Yamato was stunned.

He first glanced at Yun Xianhe, Conan and the tall and thin life assistant, then turned back to look at the rest of the people.

There were two ladies, one was a middle-aged man, and the other was a frail Gao Ming.

...Well, okay.

Feeling that something was wrong with the way Yamato Gansuke looked at him, Zhu Fu Gao Ming put on a fake smile:

"What are you thinking about, Dare to help?"

"Nothing, I just thought it was pretty normal for me to be carrying something."

"?"

Yun Xianhe, who was not far away, winked secretly at Zhu Fu Gaoming.

Super-easy to please, Officer Yamato.

A conflict (?) was resolved invisibly.

The dinner was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.

Of course, since they had to continue solving the case tomorrow, the adults didn't drink.

Kogoro Mouri, who was forbidden to drink by the brave man with a smile, felt sad and heartbroken.

Boy Yun must have colluded with Xiaolan!

After the breakup, the Maori family and Conan were taken back by Yamato Gansuke.

Yun Xianhe and Zhu Fu Jingguang stayed at Zhu Fu Gaoming's house.

Of course, if Yun Xianhe was not afraid that Yamato would help assassinate (?) him in the middle of the night, he could actually choose to live in the other's house and give the brothers more space.

Although this idea was rejected by Yamato Gansuke with a very disgusted look as soon as it was proposed.

Yamato Gansuke didn't know that 'Mizukawa Hikaru' and Zhufu Gaoming were brothers. He just thought it was strange that Yun Xianhe wanted to go to his house for no reason.

The evil-looking police officer pointed at the hero:

"Are you planning to do something bad in my house?"

"Huh? How is that possible? At most I would just search your refrigerator in the middle of the night!"

"…Then you don't have to come. There's nothing to eat in my refrigerator."

"Hey - is this true?"

That made him even more curious.

Seeing Yun Xianhe's eagerness written all over his face, Yamato Gansuke decisively turned around and left, not giving the other party any chance to catch up.

The hero who was left behind sighed:

"You run so fast, do you think I'm hated?"

"Haha... I don't think Ganzhu-kun meant that."

"Maybe he's afraid that you, Xianhe, will empty his refrigerator."

Zhufu Gaoming and Zhufu Jingguang comforted each other with words.

After listening to it, Yun Xianhe muttered:

"Really... I'm going to fill his refrigerator tomorrow."

Zhufu Gaoming and Zhufu Jingguang, who were standing behind him, looked at each other, and smiled helplessly in tacit understanding.

"Okay, let's go to bed early tonight. We have to ask Naoki Shiro some questions tomorrow."

"Hai Hai Yi——"

·

Those who go to bed the latest get up the earliest.

The hero, who had been discussing the novel with 113 until late last night, got up from the bed in the guest room, yawning, and staggered towards the bathroom.

【Good morning, everyone! 】

"Hmm... Good morning, little wood."

[It's really early. It seems no one is up yet. ]

There weren't many electronic devices in the house, and 113 didn't see anyone anywhere he could see.

"That's fine. I'll wash up before they wake up."

Maybe it's because I just woke up.

In addition, knowing that he was in a safe area, Yun Xianhe obviously relaxed his vigilance a lot.

At least no one expected or noticed that Zhu Fu Gaoming would rise up at this point.

I happened to see the whole process from a hidden spot in the corner of the second floor.

I closed my eyes the whole time and followed the scanner's instructions to go to the bathroom, then walked into the kitchen holding on to the wall.

I finally found a cup on the table and poured myself a glass of water.

Before Yun Xianhe swallowed the water, he heard Zhu Fu Gaoming's soft voice asking:

"Mr. Xianhe, you can't see, right?"

"Pfft, cough cough cough!"

Yun Xianhe, who was almost choked to death by a mouthful of water, kept coughing.

Zhu Fu Gaoming, who was standing by, quickly reached out his hand to pat the other person's back, his tone full of apology:

"Feel sorry."

Yun Xianhe waved his hands repeatedly.

After finally stopping coughing, Yun Xianhe raised his eyes and looked towards Zhu Fu Gaoming according to the direction of the scanner.

The dull heterochromatic pupils concealed a subtle tension:

"Why do you ask that, Mr. Gao Ming? Because I didn't notice you coming over?"

"No, I saw the whole process of Xianhe-jun getting up this morning."

"……what?"

'Where did he hide to see it?! In the blind spot of this house, at the corner of the stairs?!'

[It seems so, sorry! ]

'……It doesn't matter.'

Although I knew I couldn't keep it a secret for long when facing this person, I didn't expect it to be so easy...

Are you careless?

"In fact, I have had my suspicions since yesterday. Although you concealed it very well, sometimes your body movements can't deceive people."

Yun Xianhe smiled bitterly upon hearing this.

He raised his head and glanced around with his expressionless eyes.

After hearing the scanner report that there was no one, he lowered his voice and asked:

"When did you become suspicious? When I was frightened by Yamabuki? No, was it when you heard Conan say in the car that I didn't open my eyes properly for several days?"

"Both, and the slight pause you made yesterday when you came down the stairs and faced a height difference."

“…Have I revealed so much?”

Looking at the person who seemed to be a little lonely for a moment, Zhu Fu Gaoming opened his mouth.

There were faint sounds of footsteps in the distance.

Yun Xianhe quickly reached out and covered Zhu Fu Gaoming's mouth, lowering his voice and speaking quickly:

"Don't tell anyone. I'll explain it to you later, Mr. Gao Ming, okay?"

The person with his mouth covered looked at Yun Xianhe solemnly.

Finally, he nodded before the owner of the footsteps arrived.

Yun Xianhe immediately let go of his hand, grabbed the cup on the table, and drank all the water in it.

"What a coincidence, you all got up to drink water?"
