Model worker and his little darling

The next morning, Hirai took Conan to Professor Agasa's house for a meeting. The three members of the Detective Boys were already waiting.

"Good morning, Brother Pingqing."

Hearing the three little ones greet him in unison, Pingqing smiled and replied with a "Good morning."

As soon as Pingqing arrived at the bus stop, he saw a familiar face.

An easy-going Tou Zijun.

Amuro Tooru saw Taira Kiyoshi leading a group of children and moved a little to the side.

The bus arrived shortly after.

After Hirai boarded the train, there were no seats left, so he had to stand with Amuro Tooru.

"Hey, Doctor, can you still go skiing looking like that?"

Upon hearing Conan's question, the three children immediately began to show concern for Professor Agasa.

"But once the doctor gets there, you must get a good night's sleep in the house."

People say you have to be most careful when you first catch a cold.

"You mustn't get carried away and run off."

Hearing the three little ones' words, Ping Qing smiled. Professor Agasa had been outmaneuvered by a few children.

If Conan catches a cold, he'll give him a shot of strong liquor.

Conan looked over in confusion when he didn't hear Haibara speak, only to find that Haibara was trembling all over.

"Haibara, what's wrong?"

“There were their people in the car.”

Conan immediately looked up and scanned the entire carriage, but didn't find anyone acting strangely.

"Haibara, are you sensing something wrong? I didn't detect anything. Could it be because of Taira no Kiyoshi-nii?"

"It wasn't him, there were other people in the car."

Although their voices were very soft, Hirai could hear them clearly. When they encountered Amuro Tooru earlier, Haibara had been hiding behind the professor, and now she was even wearing a hat.

Wow, Haibara's alcohol detector is really useful.

Why doesn't he have that ability?

Thinking about the big shots getting on the bus later, Haibara probably felt like she was going to faint.

Conan looked at everyone on the bus again, and finally waved to Hirai, "Hirai-nii, sit with me."

Seeing this, Heiji walked over to Conan, hugged him, and sat down in his seat.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

“Brother Pingqing, I sensed that there were people from that organization in the car.”

Upon hearing this, Ping Qing's lips twitched. "You? You can't sense anything. You'd be able to sense death aura if there were dead people around."

After giving a perfunctory glance, Ping Qing said softly, "I didn't notice anything. The people on this bus are either elderly or children. If there's any possibility, it's the person who was standing next to me just now."

Conan wanted to go see it as soon as he heard that.

Pingqing quickly restrained the agitated Conan, "Are you crazy? Are you afraid others won't notice you have a problem? There are so many innocent people on the bus, calm down."

Hearing this, Conan quieted down. His older brother, Heiji, was right; he couldn't act impulsively.

Amuro Tooru was getting agitated. Mikasa asked him to get on the bus, but Mikasa himself had disappeared.

He had no idea where to get off the bus or what to do next. Could Yu Lu be playing a trick on him? But that didn't seem right. He'd been with Yu Lu for so long, and Yu Lu would never do something like this.

He had observed everyone in the carriage, but there was no trace of Yu Lu.

With that in mind, Amuro Tooru immediately took out his phone and started sending messages.

[I'm already on the bus, what should I do next? — Bourbon]

"Xiao Qi, reply to Tou Zi and tell him to wait. He will tell you when the time comes."

【Alright, host.】

Amuro Tooru breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Taira Kiyoshi's message. None of the people in the car had used their phones, which meant that Mishika was really not there.

After feeling the gazes on him disappear, Ping Qing smiled slightly. Amuro Tooru had indeed been suspicious of him. Luckily, he had a cheat code.

“Brother Pingqing, that person seems to be suspicious. He was looking at the people in the car with his phone, and he even noticed you.”

Hearing Conan's words, Hirai smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? We're just going to have fun, don't think too much about it."

Next stop, Beika Park Station.

Upon hearing the announcement, Pingqing glanced outside. Sure enough, in this accident-prone area, a row of people with interesting stories were waiting for the bus: the robber, Jodie, Shuichi Akai, and Vermouth.

At this moment, Shinichiro and Judy also got on the bus.

Haibara began to tremble violently, gripping her clothes so tightly it seemed she wanted to tear them apart.

Seeing Haibara's expression, Taira Kiyoshi handed Conan's glasses over.

Haibara took the glasses with trembling hands, glanced at Hiraiyoshi slightly, and then quickly shrank back.

The three children were overjoyed to see Shinichiro Araide, and Genta even stood up and exclaimed, "It's Shinichiro-sensei! So you have a date today!"

Pingqing looked at Shinichiro with a smile, thinking how gentle her sister looked dressed like a man.

Shinichi waved his hands repeatedly, "No, you've misunderstood. She's just a teacher at Teitan High School where I work as the school doctor." After saying that, he exchanged a glance with Hirai.

"Hi, boys and girls, oh, cool kid, we meet again. I'm going on a date with Mr. Shinichi at the Ueno Museum today."

"We just happened to bump into each other at the station. If rumors spread at the school, it won't be good for either of us."

The two of them sat down in the seats in front of Pingqing as they talked.

Shinichiro was making small talk with Jodie, but in his mind he was actually criticizing Hirakiyo.

Xiao Qingqing had been jealous of Conan in front of her, but what she saw was Conan sitting obediently on Xiao Qingqing's lap, and it seemed like the two of them had a great relationship.

And last time, Xiao Qingqing promised to go find her, but so much time has passed and she hasn't seen a trace of her. It's all Gin's fault, that bastard.

Although the older sister sitting in front of him only glanced at him, Hirashige still felt the pressure. For a moment, he almost threw Conan out.

Just then, a man wearing a mask and with sharp eyes slowly walked over and sat in the last row.

Amuro Tooru was completely stunned. He was still calm when Jodie came up, but then Akai Shuichi also came up.

Suppressing his frustration, Amuro Tooru took out his phone and started sending messages to Hirai Kiyoshi. Today was too strange. Could it be that Mikasa was doing this on purpose?

[Bourbon ran into Jodie and Shuichi Akai on the train]

Keep a close eye on them—the Imperial Deer

Seeing Shuichi Akai and Tooru Amuro on either side of the last row, Hirai felt incredibly excited.

Suddenly, Taira felt Haibara leaning against him.

Taira no Kiyoshi: ...

Did you really faint from fright?

Shuichi Akai just walked by, right?

Seeing Haibara clutching his clothes tightly, Hirai really wanted to say, "That person is your brother-in-law and cousin, don't be afraid."

He then quietly tucked her stray hairs into her hat, adjusted the hat, and concealed her face. He then gently moved his hand to make her more comfortable, so to outsiders she would appear to be asleep.

Tsk, the others are fine, but if my sister finds out, the old man's guinea pig will be dead.

"Brother Pingqing..."

"Well, what happened?"

Pingqing glared at Conan, signaling him to watch his words.

"I suddenly remembered the movie we watched last time, it was about a snow woman..."
