It's not that I haven't thought about what it would be like to say "ah, yes, I like him" to others, so when I really said this sentence, I felt more relaxed than I imagined.At first when I noticed this feeling, I was quite entangled, but now I feel relieved, and I don't know whether to laugh or cry.The fact that boys are easy to hide their thoughts is finally reflected, and they cannot easily share with others, let alone treat this special feeling as a casual chat after dinner.

But if I had to admit it to one person, it would have to be Aoko Nakamori.

Thinking of this, Kaito Kuroba, who sent away his childhood sweetheart, walked slowly towards the dormitory, much slower than usual.Anyone who makes a girl cry is guilty, but deceit and betrayal are more serious than the inevitable tears.What's more, the other party is such a person I trust, and I will definitely not betray my own existence.Don't guess how she feels about him, and express his heart first before mentioning that kind of thing, it's really cunning, such a me.Although I have spoken frankly, it will definitely be awkward to meet again. Fortunately, there will be no occasions for everyone to get together this year.Aoko still doesn't have a long holiday during Christmas, Baima is not in the country, and Sonoko and Hattori should prefer to have space to be alone with their lovers.If that guy Kudo, he will accompany Ms. Lan too.

Alas, so are you alone?Kuroba · No. 19 years single · Kaito-kun sighed in his heart.Seeing that he was about to reach dormitory 314 after another corridor, he came to a conclusion after some self-examination, then patted himself on the face as if to cheer himself up, and started to manage his expressions again.Take the key to open the door, the heat and the smell of curry warm your heart, and the only vacant seat at the table for four is waiting for you.

"I just wanted to call you, come over and have dinner."

Hattori called him over, Baima leisurely spread out the newspaper and read the news, while Kudo, who was holding the phone, glanced at him indifferently, focusing on the incoming call on the other end of the receiver.

The big detective has a new case, right?I saw him taking a portable notepad to quickly record something, frowning slightly, a thought network was quickly established in his mind, and his blue eyes were full of seriousness.This is the appearance of the famous detective that Hei Yu is most familiar with, confident, sober, righteous, and devoid of distractions.Although it will definitely end with that sentence in the end.

"I left earlier, so I will leave the afternoon class to you."

He obviously said it to the only person who had the same class with him in the afternoon, that is, Kuroba, but Kudo didn't look up at him and hurriedly picked up his coat and went out, as expected, he was as unceremonious as ever.

"I am leaving."

"Let's go~"

So the conclusion is that -

No way, who made me like you.

Kudo Shinichi closed the door, blocking the heating, the smell of curry, and the voice that spoke in a voice that was very similar to his own.There was a thin layer of sweat on the palm of his hand holding the phone, and his heart was beating slightly restlessly.

escaped.

I was still thinking about what to do if someone brought up the occasion at KTV last night, what to do if they made a harmless joke and made myself feel embarrassed, there were so many ifs but none of them happened, and I kept repeating in my heart "The case is more important", so I am really cunning when I run away immediately after not wanting to confront the opponent directly.

I went downstairs and blew the cold wind and felt sober, and at the same time sober, it was still... so cold!Kudo-kun buttoned up his coat, put his hands in his pockets, and thought about the fastest way to reach the Metropolitan Police Department.It was the rush hour for work in the afternoon, it was difficult to get a taxi and there would be traffic jams, and there were a lot of people on the subway... While he was still hesitating, a motorcycle ran across in front of him.A helmet was thrown into his arms along a parabola, and the person who was just sitting at the table mixing curry rice suddenly appeared here, a pair of bright eyes with a smile appeared in the protective helmet, although the expression was very natural, but Some undulating chest revealed the fact that he also came in a hurry.

"boarding--"

The person you want to see the most and the person you don't want to see the most is you.It is impossible to ignore the loud sound of the cold wind whistling past the ear, which is noisy and makes the heart beat faster.Passing the corner of the [-]-chome street, crossing the overpass, and sprinting with full power, the heavy traffic in Tokyo in the afternoon passed by, just like the feeling of being next to this person, dangerous and uninhibited.I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the brakes wiped out the deliberate distance again and again, sticking to that thin back, the instinctive reaction of the body was to continue to wrap around his waist.This is calculated, every time he can't help but take a step back, he will take another step forward. Deserters are not allowed in this tug-of-war, so the distance between the two has never changed.In other words, it got closer, and even closer, it would be hard to breathe.

So say something to break this weird glue.

"Hey, is there any intention to come out and send me to the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"Ugh Shinichi is too much, although I didn't expect you to thank me too much, but there's no need to say that..."

"You just want to skip class."

"It was discovered."

"Follow me, but don't interfere with my work."

"Shinichi, are you sure I'm interfering or not helping? What was the case last time——"

"Ah, I see, you are so noisy."

When they arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department, Officer Megure and his team seemed to naturally acquiesce in the existence of Kaito Kuroba, and they had met a few times before, and everyone seemed to be thinking "It must be very nice if it is the companion brought by Kudo-kun." Awesome." Such a wonderful idea.If you say it, you will definitely get an unceremonious answer like "Who is that guy's partner?" After that, everyone will still think "Sure enough, these two boys...are they really brothers?"

So Kudo-kun, don't pay attention to him, just start to understand the case, right?

"The deceased Yotsuya Nadeko, 23 years old, just graduated from university last year to work, and worked in an accounting firm. She was found by her colleagues in the apartment at [-]:[-] yesterday morning, wearing pajamas, fatally wounded in the head, and suffered a severe blow to the back of the head. The time of death was between [-]:[-] pm and [-]:[-] am. There was no trace of property being stolen at the scene of the crime, and crimes such as burglary were basically ruled out.”

"It can't be completely determined that it was not an accidental death, but at least she was not the only one at the scene." Kudo Shinichi said while flipping through the photos of the scene.Miss Yotsuya lived in a duplex suite on the top floor of an apartment, and her body was just under the stairs leading to the bedroom on the second floor.

"Look at this posture... It's not impossible to slip and fall from the stairs, but the body is on its back, so there should be no need for her to walk backwards, so it is only possible that she was facing something with her back facing the stairs when she was standing on the stairs on the second floor People, due to disputes or distractions, they stepped backwards and fell into the air. I still always feel that there is a sense of disobedience... Is there something under her right hand?"

"Ah... Well, when we inspected the scene later, we found traces of suspected death messages."

"What is it like?" Kudo's eyes lit up, and Police Officer Megure handed over a new photo.The woman in a small pool of blood raised her right hand slightly, and the next enlarged photo was the bloodstain left on the carpet next to her index finger.

"It's just that there's a little bit next to the letter Z. Ahh, I'm really not good at dealing with this kind of thing. Everyone has no idea about this."

"These are the main contacts of the victim," Officer Sato said, placing a new photo on the whiteboard. "Three roommates during college—Ms. Tamada, Miss Nishii, and Miss Shinagawa. These four colleagues in the office——Ando-kun, Kinoshita-kun, Akiyama-kun, and Watanabe-kun. Among them, Watanabe-kun was found in the apartment in the morning. Reporter of the victim's body."

"Just now, the above-mentioned people came to the police station very cooperatively to accept the investigation and questioning, but there seems to be no doubts. The case is currently at an impasse, so please come here this time, Kudo-kun—"

Listening to the officers talking about the basics of the case, Kudo stared at the picture of the woman on the whiteboard.She has long chestnut hair, straight bangs, and a face with light makeup, which still looks sweet and energetic as a student.Obviously, a young life that has not been polluted or obliterated by this complicated society has no choice but to end here.It would be a pity if it was an accident, but if it was murder...it is not the first time I have seen such a thing, but every time it will strengthen his determination to bring the criminal to justice.

"The only breakthrough may be..." Officer Takagi added on the side.

"It is said that the victim had a secret lover."
