"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it." Edogawa Conan curled his lips and put his hands behind his head. "Also, what do you mean by investigating the murderer and Midorikawa-san? Why would I investigate Midorikawa-san?"

Xing Hai Mei paused for a moment after hearing this, and looked down at Edogawa Conan in surprise. The two stood at an intersection some distance away from the park gate. After looking at each other briefly, Xing Hai Mei waved her hand and said, "Just treat it as if it were true."

After the boy finished speaking, he was about to turn around and walk towards the park gate, but when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he saw a tall and thin figure standing in the distance at the intersection on the other side.

Xing Haimei's eyes fixed, and he paused in turning around. From a distance, he and the man who had been standing there for who knows how long looked at each other for a moment. A hint of wariness flashed across the boy's eyes, and he grabbed Edogawa Conan's collar and pulled him behind him.

"Hey? What's wrong?" Edogawa Conan was suddenly grabbed and exclaimed subconsciously. He looked up at Xinghai Meihu and noticed the undisguised hostility in the other's eyes.

Edogawa Conan was stunned. In his memory, he rarely saw Hoshimi Mei like this. He could hardly see her like this. This made him a little curious about what she saw. So he followed her gaze and said, "Ah, it's Mr. Subaru."

Hearing this, Xing Hai Mei frowned. He was still on guard, but he relaxed a little because of what Edogawa Conan said, "Who is this?"

Since he was a child, Kudo Shinichi has met some strange people because of cases, some of whom don't seem to be good people at first glance. Xing Haimei has long been accustomed to this, and he did not feel any hostility from the man, so he just asked casually.

Edogawa Conan looked at Okiya Subaru walking over with a bag in his hand, and introduced him to Xing Hai Meihu, "His name is Okiya Subaru, a graduate student in engineering at Toudou University. The apartment he rented was burned down in a previous case, so he is temporarily living in my house now..."

Xing Hai Mei looked at Edogawa Conan with an indescribable look, which made the young boy unable to continue. He tugged at the boy's clothes, looked away and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? It's weird."

"You're the weird one, right?" Xing Haimei wanted to pry open Edogawa Conan's round head to see if the structure inside had been tampered with. He looked at the man who was walking towards him step by step, and his voice didn't lower at all. "You just took in a suspicious man with unknown origins, aren't you worried about what might happen?"

Edogawa Conan tugged at the corner of Meiho Hoshimi's clothes, signaling him to stop talking, but Subaru Okiya, who had already walked up to them, didn't mind it. He smiled and said, "It's normal to have such concerns, but I can promise that I won't cause any unnecessary trouble."

However, there is no guarantee if it is caused by someone else.

Xing Hai Mei understood the implication. He looked the man up and down. Okiya Subaru was wearing a casual high-necked base shirt with a thin jacket on the outside. It was not abrupt or eye-catching, but the boy inexplicably felt that something was wrong.

However, Kudo Shinichi always meets some weird people, and he doesn't pay much attention to this aspect. He has been too busy recently, so it is normal that he doesn't know these things.

Thinking of this, Xinghai Mei waved her hand and turned to walk towards the park gate, leaving Edogawa Conan and Okiya Subaru staring at each other. The young boy scratched the back of his head, "Xinghai is like this in front of strangers, Mr. Subaru, please don't mind."

"It's okay, I won't take it to heart." Okiya Subaru smiled, with one hand in his pocket and a relaxed attitude, "He just meant it well."

"...Then, why did you come here?" Edogawa Conan took out his mobile phone with deep eyes. The screen lit up, showing the photo he sent to Okiya Subaru twenty minutes ago, and a message below.

"And you haven't replied to me yet." The young boy looked at him sideways.

"I'm sorry." Okiya Subaru said without much sincerity. He opened his fox eyes that were often narrowed, and a dark color flashed in his eyes. "Because I think this matter is very urgent, I came directly here."

Edogawa Conan tightly gripped his cell phone, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"I know what you want to ask, boy." Okiya Subaru said before he could speak, "I can't give you a definite answer now, because I can't confirm it myself, so--"

"Would you like to join me in finding out the truth?"
