【Quick new】Third person

Recap

"Be quiet, Detective-kun."

"Don't meddle in your own business, you'll die."

"Maybe it's the secret of 'you, me, him'."

"I'm also thinking, and I'm working hard to become someone like you."

The beginnings of all recent dreams are similar—familiar streets, blurred faces, changing perspectives, spirits wandering through every corner of the city, and some beyond.Rather than saying it was a dream, it was better to say that these were fragments of memories in his mind, which were shown in series in the same way as unedited and smooth movies.He can feel that there are many people around him, Lan, Dr. Ali, those children in the elementary school... And the end of each journey is a street with rose petals, romantic but quiet, there are no lovers on Valentine's Day, only moonlight and white dove.

Every time in his dreams, he would keep walking along that road, intermittently for more than a month, and today he finally reached the end.There is nothing there but a mirror.There was a thin layer of fog on the mirror, so that he couldn't see his own face clearly in the mirror. He only felt that the small palm that still belonged to the boy's body was magnified in the mirror, reflecting a hazy shape... and that was clearly The palm of an adult.

Is this implying something?

Waking up in the middle of the night, Edogawa Conan turned on the desk lamp and glanced at the wall clock. He went to bed early that day, and it was only one o'clock in the morning.From the initial awakening to the present, he has been able to calmly face this situation.He didn't tell anyone about these dreams, because he didn't want to be taken to see a psychiatrist by his guardians, and after all, he didn't want others to worry too much.

Thinking of going downstairs to get a glass of water, the boy heard Kudo's voice as he passed by the living room.The voice was his, but because of the rising emphasis and slightly hasty tone, it was really different from usual, for a moment he thought it was someone else.He didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on other people's phone calls, so he just walked straight to the study, stood on tiptoe a little, took a clean water glass from the shelf, and poured some clean water.

"Then Qingzi, I'll hang up first, good night."

Qingzi?What about the girl's name, tsk tsk.

Hastily put away the line, and the sound of footsteps approached.Did he really get discovered? What a sensitive person.Thinking of this, the boy turned his head and met those gray-blue eyes.

"What's the matter, can't you sleep?"

The usual calm and peaceful voice was restored.The boy looked at him for two seconds, and there was no sense of disobedience worth paying attention to.

"I'm just a little thirsty. Brother Shinichi is still awake. Are you investigating the case?"

"No, I'm going to sleep now." Kudo-kun bent down and smiled at the boy, with tiredness that he didn't deliberately hide in his eyes, and raised his hand to gently rub his hair.The man seems to enjoy the gesture, and he's trying to convey a sense of reassurance.Feeling drowsy again, they said goodnight to each other, Edogawa glanced at the documents spread all over the living room table, and went upstairs silently to his room.

On the other side, the boy finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of him closing the door.

What I proposed to do before was more difficult than expected.Kudo, no, Kaito Kuroba saw that black Porsche for the fifth time today after school.That is surveillance, warning, and provocation.While he believed that school was the most dangerous and safest place to be after the sensational return of a famous detective to school, the group's plans probably didn't include killing a famous person in broad daylight...if it was possible to avoid being directly pursued by the police.And the other party seems to be very interested in the existence of "Kudo Shinichi". After the first hunting failed, they became hunters on the sidelines-first hide in the corner and spy on you, and they will wear away some time each time. When your vigilance reappears, as time passes, it keeps you hanging on your heart and feeling tortured.

What a bad player.

Kuroba Kaito is not worried that he will die unprepared, but apart from the threat to his life, it is also a headache to pretend to be another person without any flaws every day.Because Mao Lilan is by his side, there can be no relaxation.Every expression, every word spoken, tone of voice, emotional content, everything must be considered in advance.He had never been so serious when he pretended to be Kudo Shinichi and went to the scene of the theft before. It was okay for a day or two. After a long time, even he felt that the mental pressure was a bit overloaded.

If given another chance... well, he would still choose this way.Kuroba Kaito fell down on the bed a little dejectedly, the aura that originally belonged to Kudo Shinichi had long since disappeared, but thinking that the rightful master was next door, Kuroba-kun still encouraged himself to persevere.

After this incident is over, how can you thank me?Detective--

In short, I will never pretend to be you again!hateful!

There was still light rain on Friday afternoon, but Saturday was a sunny day.Spring has just arrived, and finally there are signs of warming up.Because it was the weekend, the boy also went to bed late. It was already past 10:30. After washing up, he went downstairs slowly, habitually lightening his movements.Looking down from the side of the stairs, as expected——

There was a pile of documents spread out on the desk, and the desk lamp had been on all night and hadn't been turned off. A person casually collapsed on the sofa not far away, only his upper body was wrapped in a blanket.Conan sighed and walked over, turned off the desk lamp, and squatted down in front of the sofa again. Kudo Shinichi didn't open his eyes, then raised his hand and patted his head to say good morning to him with a smile, which means that he Is really tired.

When will you be so busy?

Although it's a bit strange to say that, Edogawa Conan still feels distressed seeing Kudo Shinichi like this, getting less and less rest and getting more and more tired.

The boy stared at his sleeping face in a daze, and suddenly felt a strange feeling.Although he didn't know what was strange.

Anyway, it's a pretty face.Even if you don't know the difference between a child's aesthetics and an adult's, the person in front of you always has good facial features, some curly forehead hair covers the slightly frowning brows, and the whole person has the air between a teenager and a young man. a charming quality.well?It seems that Kudo Shinichi has never discovered that Kudo Shinichi's hair has some natural curls.The boy paused, but still shook his shoulders lightly.

"Brother Shinichi, go back to your room and rest, you'll catch a cold if you do this."

"Hmm...Damn..."

"what?"

Kudo Shinichi didn't wake up, but turned his head to the other side.

Are you having a nightmare?

"Brother Shinichi, Hattori-san and the others are still coming to play today, cheer up a little bit, hey!"

"...Who is that..."

The boy sighed and decided not to bother him anymore, anyway, if Sister Lan came later, he would definitely get up.He stepped to the next bookshelf. Kudo's collection of books was astonishing, but he couldn't read all of them because of his height.What's interesting is that he feels familiar with the books here, and he can probably retell the content by intuition if he picks up a random book.Dr. A Li said that he liked to stay here and read books before, so maybe his experience different from his peers and old Chengdu is due to reading a lot of books? ……I no longer know.

"Kudou?"

Someone called Kudo Shinichi's name, but it wasn't Mao Lilan.The boy turned his head and saw a man with his back to the sofa, his eyes were looking towards him.That person was about the same age as Kudo Shinichi, with dark skin and wearing a dark green jacket. "...Kudou?" he called again.I was able to enter here easily, probably because no one answered the door before, so I asked Dr. Ali next door for the key to open the door. Based on his Kansai accent, it is not difficult to deduce that he should be the Kansai detective that everyone talks about. Hattori Heiji, Kudo Shinichi's friend.

"If it's Shinichi, I'll fall asleep on the sofa behind you." Conan replied.

The man froze for a moment, then gave him a deep look.Conan couldn't understand the exact meaning of that look, so he could only look back calmly.

"Conan?"

Kudo Shinichi woke up.He sat up from the sofa, and let out a soft ah when he saw Hattori Heiji.

"Here we come."

Pushing back his forehead, he smiled at Hattori Heiji.Unexpectedly, Hattori Heiji walked up to the boy and bent down without paying any attention to him.

"You...don't remember who I am?"

Judging from what Sister Lan said before, "Hatbu-kun and Conan have a very good relationship", it is not surprising that the other party asked such a question.The boy stared at his face, then nodded.

"Hattori." Kudo came over and grabbed his shoulders, "There is a new development in the case I told you last time, let's chat before Ran and the others come?"

Hattori Heiji, who was about to say something, swallowed his words again, and he couldn't help but glanced at Conan, then followed Kudo upstairs. "If Conan is bored, you can go to Dr. Agasa first—"

Don't bother.Conan put back the book he had just pulled out, and the figures of those two people just disappeared from sight.It's just that as friends for many years, their relationship seems not as close as I imagined.

Indeed, when the door of the room was closed, Hattori Heiji immediately cast a dissatisfied look at Kaito Kuroba.As the one who was simply notified, he has not yet received the message "Kudo Shinichi was attacked by the black organization again, suffered a head injury and lost his memory, and now it is Kaitou KID playing the role of Kudo Shinichi. Let's talk about the specific details." Came back from a huge volume of phone calls.

"Meet you again, Kansai famous detective."

Clearly, Kaito Kuroba tried to soften this opening.Hearing the words, the service department raised his eyebrows, although he didn't know why he met "again", but, whatever, who knows who he used to pretend to be by his side.

"So, what's going on now?"

Then Kuroba described the whole thing from his perspective, Hattori listened carefully during the whole narration, until Kuroba said, "Then my sister and I decided to keep it from him—"

"Wait..." Hattori raised his forehead, "Why did you make such a decision?"

It is indeed a sharp question.Yes, what am I suffering?Of course, Kuroba Kaito asked himself the same question.But this reason stems from a little secret.Although he made such a decision on impulse, he vaguely knew the reason for doing so from the very beginning, but there was naturally a set of perfect rhetoric on the table that could convince himself and others.

"Because... think about it, that guy is now in the body of a primary school student, and he is completely unable to confront those people head-on. What if you tell him the truth, there is no memory in his own mind, except what Ms. Haibara knows Apart from the matter, how much do you know about that organization? What can you do to help him? If you tell him the truth, it will only add to your troubles and panic. Since the target of Kudo Shinichi has been exposed to the other party's sight, it is better to let a perfect The substitute—that is, me, block for a while. During this time, we are also planning..."

"No," Hattori couldn't help interrupting, "Why did you do this?"

Heiyu smiled, walked to the window and opened the curtains, the early spring sunshine immediately filled half of the room.Looking out of the window, Edogawa Conan was walking towards the next door with a skateboard in his arms.The small body is bathed in the sunlight near noon, which is obviously a very everyday picture, but for a protagonist who is about to escape from death again and again, it is extremely precious.

To make it easy for him, even if only for a short while.Stop chasing, just walk on the streets without cases, don't need to think about right and wrong, don't need to spy on human nature, just be a simple child for a while, isn't it good?

"I have a plan." Hei Yu didn't answer the previous question, but said, "It may be a little dangerous, but I can't sit still, I hope you can cooperate with me."

Hattori sighed, "Would I still say no?" He squinted his eyes and looked at Kaito Kuroba, who was against the light, took off the white suit that belonged to the phantom thief, and was wearing Shinichi Kudo's home clothes. It's completely fake.

For a moment, Hattori really had a sense of déjà vu, and he didn't know what to say about this feeling. The images that flashed before his eyes might exist in absurd dreams, or in a parallel universe, but anyway, it must be a peaceful place. Era.The few of them were also able to let go of all their defensiveness and talk and laugh happily like close friends.
