Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing

Conan really hasn't seen Nagai Hikaru appear in Tokyo for almost half a month.

Until Kogoro Mori received a commission to go to Nagano.

"Something suddenly happened and you can't go to Nagano?" Kogoro Mori was surprised.

Mao Lilan clasped her hands together apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Sonoko has a cold, so I think I should go visit her. And Xiaoguang has to come too."

"Xiao Guang?" Conan suddenly turned around and looked at Mao Li Ran.

Mao Lilan nodded: "He heard that Sonoko was sick, so he came directly from Dracula."

"I want to go see Sister Sonoko too." Conan raised his hand.

Maori Kogoro punched Conan on the head: "We are going to Shinjuku Station soon, I have packed my luggage."

"But the commission in Nagano said that four people were needed, right?" Mao Lilan thought for a moment, "Originally, Sonoko said she would come, but she definitely can't leave now, and I can't bear to leave her behind and go on a trip to Nagano with you guys."

"Then...what should we do then?" Kogoro Mouri was a little nervous.

"So I found someone who can travel with you, and you all know this person." Mao Lilan said with a smile.

"Who?"

"Yes, that's me. I just happen to be free." Amuro Toru walked in with his hands in his pockets. "A waiter at the Poirot Cafe and the eldest disciple of Mr. Mori."

Conan looked at Amuro Toru in surprise: "You're already... back to work?"

Amuro Toru smiled softly: "I was supposed to come to work, but the boss invited a few friends to go to the hot springs together, so the store is closed for the next two days."

"That still leaves one person short." Maori Kogoro counted, "The client insisted on four people."

"Four people?" A voice came from the door. Hamura Shuichi stood at the door and said with a smile, "Hello, Miss Xiaolan told Miss about the matter before, and Miss asked me to come over to join you."

Mao Lilan was surprised and said, "Ah, Mr. Hamura? How is Xiaoguang going to get home tonight? Will Mr. Hanba come to pick him up?"

"No, Lord Kurosawa came with us today. He will be responsible for the young lady's pick-up and safety." Shuichi Hamura explained.

"Mr. Kurosawa?" Mao Lilan was puzzled. "Is he coming in person? I thought Mr. Yuba would come to pick him up."

"Mr. Yuba has other arrangements and can't continue to protect the young lady." Shuichi Hamura said with his eyes lowered.

"That's it."

Conan turned to look at Amuro Toru, whose expression seemed to dim for a moment, and then he smiled and asked, "Mr. Kurosawa, have you been following me all the way here today?"

"Yes, he heard that the eldest lady was coming to the city to visit Miss Suzuki, and he said he wanted to buy a book, so he came along."

Toru Amuro and Conan looked at each other.

This is carried with me.

"Kurosawa?" Maori Kogoro stroked his chin and recalled, "I think I have seen this last name somewhere before. It's obviously very rare."

"Maybe you've encountered this before?" Conan pulled the shoulder strap of his backpack, "Uncle Maori has received so many commissions."

"Yes... yes." Maori Kogoro gave up the recollection, "Now that the four of us are together, let's go."

.

"Even Mr. Kurosawa is here." Suzuki Sonoko was a little embarrassed with the cooling bag on her head, "It's just a minor cold."

"Last time you had a cold, a helicopter was dispatched." Nagai Mitsuru reminded.

"Xiaoguang."

"what happened?"

"Stand back a little."

"Ah?" Nagai Mitsuru took a step back.

"A little to the left."

Nagai Hikaru took a step to the left.

"Well, raise your hand and hold your brother's arm."

Nagai Hikaru raised his hand in confusion and held the arm of Gin who was standing next to him.

"Okay, hold this position for a few minutes. I think my cold is getting better."

"..." Nagai Hikaru was speechless after reacting, "I also think your cold is not a big problem."

Gin nodded, "It's not appropriate for me to stand in your friend's bedroom, so I'll wait outside."

Suzuki Sonoko reached out her hand to pull back the quilt and said, "No, it would be very good for my health if you could sit on the sofa next to me and rest for a while."

Nagai Hikaru reluctantly let go of Gin's arm, walked over to Suzuki Sonoko, took the cooling ice pack on her head, wiped the condensed water droplets on it with a towel next to it, and put it back on her forehead to cool her down: "You're having a fever and are starting to talk nonsense, you should have a good rest."

"Being kind to my eyes means being kind to my whole life." Suzuki Sonoko said pitifully.

Nagai Hikaru rolled his eyes, sat down on the bed, turned to Gin and said, "Wait for me on the sofa."

Gin turned and walked to the sofa, took out his cell phone and started reading messages out of boredom.

"Why is your brother here?" Suzuki Sonoko asked in a low voice.

"I asked Shuichi and Uncle Maori to go to Nagano, and Brother Jin said he would pick me up, but I can't let Brother Jin sit in the car and wait for me." Nagai Hikaru bent down and whispered to Suzuki Sonoko, "Why did you catch a cold? Aren't you studying obediently?"

"You'll catch a cold even if you go to school." Suzuki Sonoko was depressed. "Why don't you live in Beido 2-chome again? I asked you to accompany me to the cake party last week, but you didn't come."

"Ah, the temperature has dropped a bit recently, so I decided to move back to Dracula."

"Didn't they say that Dorothy would not get along with Sally? And isn't Dracula colder than Tokyo?" Suzuki Sonoko recalled what she heard from Mouri Ran.

"It's getting cold, so Dorothy has been sent to the horse farm for special care. There are better stables and special trainers over there." Nagai Hikaru pulled the quilt higher and stuffed Suzuki Sonoko's outstretched hand back into the quilt. "Dracula's side is quieter, and Brother Jin also asked me to go back and live there. It's more spacious, and you know I have a lot of clothes."

"They're all excuses." Suzuki Sonoko snorted.

"Yeah, excuses." Nagai Hikaru tapped Suzuki Sonoko's nose, "I'll chat with you for a while, and I'll go back when you fall asleep."

"Xiao Lan will be here soon, so I won't sleep."

"Ah? Sonoko fell asleep?" When Mouri Ran rushed over, Nagai Hikaru and Gin were about to say goodbye and leave.

"Yeah, it was fine when we were talking about movies, but when I asked her how her homework was going recently?" Nagai Mitsuru spread his hands, "She got sleepy."

Mao Lilan laughed: "It's Sonoko's temper. We just had a round of small tests recently, and she is really annoyed by this."

"Hey, she should be more confident like me. Even though I often get zero points in history, I can still answer any historical questions you ask me." Nagai Mitsuru said proudly.

"Yes, in your history, King Arthur is a girl, Minamoto no Raikou is also a girl, but Queen Bimiko is a man dressed as a woman." Mao Lilan let out a long breath, "Light novel editors will definitely like your unofficial history innovation."

"Thank you for the compliment."

On the way back, Gin went to the bookstore to pick up a book. Shintaro Tanabe's new book was out.

"This author's writing quality is average, but his output is unusually high, with a new book every two or three months. It's great for killing time." Gin said casually when he was paying the bill.

Nagai Mitsuru chuckled: "Then he probably has an accomplice and more than one. If he were still in our Beihua, he would be courting death."

"Then I hope that after he is killed one day, his assassins will still have the mind to continue writing." Gin doesn't care, he is just a reader.

Nagai Hikaru thinks this mentality is great.

.

Kogoro Mori and others who had just arrived in Nagano walked into the church in the heavy snow and wind.

While Maori Kogoro was talking to the others who entered the church, Amuro Toru stood next to Hamura Shuichi and said, "Hasn't Hikaru released Dracula recently?"

"The young lady hasn't been feeling well lately, so she's recuperating in Dracula."

Conan didn't listen to Maori Kogoro's greetings and ran over: "When can he come out? I rarely answer his calls recently."

"The weather change has made Miss feel a little uncomfortable." Hamura Shuichi nodded slightly, "Please don't worry."

Toru Amuro seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Shuichi Hamura looked up at the strong wind outside the church hitting the windows and asked: "Are we going to wait for the client nearby today?"

"Probably." Amuro Toru answered absentmindedly. He looked around the church and suddenly remembered, "If it's snowing here, it will also snow in Dracula, right?"

"Yes, the temperature has dropped rapidly recently."

"What if I want to visit?"

"Ms. Amuro is always welcome, young lady."

Conan looked up and raised his hand: "What about me?"

"Edogawa-san, you still have to go to school, right?" Shuichi Hamura lowered his head and smiled.

"What about the weekend?"

"If you have time."

Maori Kogoro came over after talking to them. "What are you guys talking about together? It's really troublesome. It seems that there are some traffic problems outside because of the snowstorm."

"Mr. Maori, have you contacted the client?"

"There is a problem. My client is Yen Taisheng, but they said..." Maori Kogoro clenched his fist and pointed at the people behind him with his thumb, "The owner of this name hanged himself in this church two months ago."

Conan's eyes changed: It seems that someone led us here and hid his true identity. What is he trying to do?

There was a sound of collapse outside. When a few people went to take a look, they saw that the parking lot had collapsed and all the cars had fallen down.

"Ah." Hamura Shuichi exclaimed softly, "Luckily I have food and a lot of heating supplies in my suitcase."

"Ah, I was wondering why you carried such a big suitcase." Kogoro Mouri said in surprise.

"Miss checked the weather forecast and reminded me." Hamura Shuichi took out his cell phone, "Do we need to contact the Nagano police for rescue now? The taxi that just brought us here has already left."

Someone in the other team shouted out, "Oh no! The police said there was an avalanche in front of the tunnel that leads to us. We can't get here until tomorrow at the earliest."

"It's really bad with such a heavy snowstorm."

Amuro Toru looked at the dilapidated church and the brand new parking lot signpost: "It seems that someone wants us to stay here longer."
