Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

is it possible?

Can?

Well, now Shizuka Hiratsuka believes it a little.

There was no way, this matter was too mysterious, forcing Shizuka Hiratsuka to doubt it.

'Fortunately, although Conan was favored by death, it wasn't me who died?' Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head violently, trying to get rid of this absurd idea from her mind.

"How can you think like that, Hiratsuka Shizuka, you're going too far!"

'. . . '

"When we get back to Tokyo, let's ask Mr. Kong to recommend a shrine and take Conan there to pay respect."

Chapter 259: Xiaojing, I will always stand by your side~

"How's it going, Xiaojing? Has the issue with Xiaolan been resolved?"

Walking on the streets of Osaka, which has much richer historical traces than Tokyo, Yang No looked around casually and spoke with a smile after seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka hang up the phone.

"No, not only did it not solve the problem, but it caused more trouble." Shaking her head helplessly, Shizuka Hiratsuka knew that it would be difficult to get Xiaolan and the others to come out and play today.

Needless to say, Conan will not give up until the case is solved. Kogoro usually looks confused, but when encountering such things, he will subconsciously pay attention.

If Conan and Kogoro don't leave, Xiaolan can't abandon them and come play with Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"But it's okay. I was thinking that if things really don't work out, the three of us can play together. Isn't the situation similar now?" Putting the phone back into her trouser pocket, Shizuka Hiratsuka shrugged nonchalantly.

"Come on, Yukino, let me see what the place you booked is like."

"Well, I believe Sister Jing will be very satisfied." She nodded gently. Yukino was very confident about Hiratsuka Shizuka's hobbies and interests.

. . .

"So, Xiaojing, what kind of trouble have you encountered?" With a bit of curiosity and a bit of worry, Yang No, who was sitting opposite Hiratsuka Shizuka, held a cup of juice and looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka with strange eyes.

During the day, under the leadership of Yukino, the three girls, Shizuka Hiratsuka, had a good time in Osaka.

We visited some of Osaka's unique sights and bought some special souvenirs. When it was time for dinner, we chose a local restaurant with good reviews to enjoy a meal.

After confirming that Haruno was able to drive, Shizuka Hiratsuka no longer remained reserved and happily ordered some local Osaka wine to taste.

Naturally, neither Yukino nor Haruno had any intention of stopping Shizuka Hiratsuka. They just smiled and watched Shizuka Hiratsuka enjoying the food and wine.

However, when the food was almost finished and the three women started chatting, Yang No, who had been acting normally, took the initiative.

"Troublesome things?" Although she drank a lot of alcohol, Shizuka Hiratsuka was still very conscious except that her face was a little red.

Faced with Haruno's sudden question, Shizuka Hiratsuka was a little confused.

"Yes, I also knew it from Sister Sachiko." Shaking the juice in her cup slightly, Yang No looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka with a smile.

"The last time I went to see Sister Sachiko at her home, we were just chatting normally, but Sister Sachiko looked quite strange. I asked a few more questions out of curiosity, but Sister Sachiko didn't tell me in detail. However, I still found out a little bit." Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka with a subtle look, Yang No reached out and tapped her chin.

"It's you, Xiaojing, who made Sister Sachiko sigh so much. But Sister Sachiko didn't tell me what exactly happened."

"This..." She was a little speechless. Shizuka Hiratsuka had no doubts about what Haruno said. After all, Shizuka Hiratsuka knew very well how much her mother liked Haruno.

Normally, no matter whether she is at home or not, Haruno will go to her house from time to time to visit Sachiko Hiratsuka and Katsuki Hiratsuka. Otherwise, when Sachiko Hiratsuka and Shizuka Hiratsuka are angry, Haruno will not dare to comfort Sachiko Hiratsuka and speak for Shizuka Hiratsuka.

However, what surprised Shizuka Hiratsuka was that she didn't expect her mother to tell Haruno about her own affairs.

"Even though I didn't say it directly, it's already very troublesome." Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her hair subconsciously, feeling a little depressed.

She knew very well that her affairs seemed to have a different attraction to Yang Nai. If she didn't find out the truth, Yang Nai would never give up.

However, thinking about what her mother and she said on the phone, and the slight changes in her thoughts over the past few days, Shizuka Hiratsuka really didn't know how to face Haruno's questions.

"It's not a big deal, so you don't have to worry too much, Haruno." Pursing her lips, Shizuka Hiratsuka said that she still had no way to announce it to Haruno.

I'm not completely prepared mentally yet, and even if I think I can discuss it with Haruno, Yukino is still by my side!

How could I let a child know about this kind of thing? If I did that, my image in Yukino’s heart would be completely ruined!

"Is that so? Okay then. But Xiaojing, if you have anything you want to say, you must tell me. No matter what it is, I will stand by your side~" Nodding slightly, and seeing Yukino's somewhat surprised look, Yang Noi smiled and did not continue to ask Shizuka Hiratsuka anything.

"Yeah, I know." Looking at the look in Yono's eyes, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt a little warm in her heart.

Sure enough, although I am not popular with men, the few female friends I know are all very good.

Blinking slightly, Yukino was originally curious about why Haruno's behavior was different from what was agreed before, but when her eyes swept over Shizuka Hiratsuka who was smiling and starting to taste wine again, she seemed to understand something.

"As expected, there's still a gap between me and my sister." She clenched her fists unwillingly, then secretly took a deep breath. When she raised her head again, a faint smile appeared on her face once again.

"You can't admit defeat, Yukinoshita Yukino. This is the only thing you absolutely cannot admit defeat on!"

. . .

"Really? I'm impressed by these people who are so interested in the case." Sitting in the passenger seat of the car, Shizuka Hiratsuka complained speechlessly.

She really didn't expect that she had already finished her meal, but Xiaolan called to say that they hadn't finished yet.

Shizuka Hiratsuka, who felt sorry for Xiaolan for not having a good meal, had no choice but to pack up some food and asked Haruno to drive to the location sent by Xiaolan.

"This place is quite remote. Is it true that most criminals like to hide in such remote places?" Seeing the police car in front, Yang Nai parked the car aside, opened the door and walked out.

"Should we wait here or go up and take a look, Xiaojing~"

"Well, now that we're here, let's go up and take a look." Touching the back of her neck, Shizuka Hiratsuka communicated with the policeman standing guard next to the police car, and then climbed up the mountain road under his guidance.

"It's in the room in front, right?" Shizuka Hiratsuka handed the food box in her hand to Kogoro Mouri, who she had met smoking next to the police car, and blinked as she looked at the house in front of her whose exit was blocked by the police car.

"That little brat Conan is sneaking away again, I really am..."

"Get out of my way!!!"

"Um?!"

Chapter 260: This guy won't die, will he?

Faced with Kiichiro Numabuchi rushing towards her from the darkness with a kitchen knife in his hand, Xiaolan instinctively stayed where she was.

Although her skills are definitely extraordinary among high school students, when it comes to such frightening things, Xiaolan's reaction is no different from that of an ordinary little girl.

Although the target could be swept away by just raising her leg, Xiaolan was so frightened by Kiichiro Numabuchi's sloppy and terrifying face that she didn't react at all.

Although Xiaolan didn't react, Conan did.

Seeing Kiichiro Numabuchi waving the sword in his hand, Conan couldn't help but want to use his body to block Xiaolan.

The small body did not hesitate or retreat at all. Facing the glaring tip of the knife, Conan instinctively used his body to block the knife for Xiaolan.

"Stuck!"

"boom!"

However, there was no pain from the blade piercing his body. Just when the tip of the kitchen knife was about to pierce Conan, the knife deflected violently in the air.

No, it should be said that the hands holding the knife and Kiichirō Numabuchi's body underwent drastic changes at the moment of rushing forward.

In a flash, everyone heard the sound of window glass breaking and a loud explosion. When they came to their senses, Kiichiro Numabuchi in the porch had disappeared.

"Hey? Conan, are you okay?" Without having time to wonder about the disappearance of Kiichiro Numabuchi, Xiaolan, who had reacted, hurriedly hugged Conan in front of her.

"Ah, Sister Xiaolan, I'm fine." Conan shook his head blankly. Seeing the panic on Xiaolan's face, he quickly smiled sweetly.

And in fact, this is true. The kitchen knife did not touch Conan's body. All Conan suffered was sudden panic and tension.

"Where is Kiichiro Numabuchi?" Conan came back to his senses and after comforting Xiaolan, his first reaction was to look for Kiichiro Numabuchi who had suddenly disappeared.

But no one responded to his words. Everyone in the porch just stared blankly at the big hole in the wall in front of Conan.

"Hey, where does the hole come from?" Conan walked over curiously and looked at the other side of the hole. Then, his eyebrows twitched violently.

"It seems like you're okay." A familiar voice sounded on the grass outside the cave.

Looking at the woman kneeling on one knee on the grass in a chic posture, who else could it be but Shizuka Hiratsuka?

Oh, if you look closely, what she pressed with her knees was not the grass, but Kiichiro Numabuchi, whose eyes were rolled back and he looked like he had fainted.

Looking back at the broken window on the other side of the porch, and then at the big hole in the wall that was connected to it, and Shizuka Hiratsuka who was holding Kiichiro Numabuchi up with one hand, Conan deduced what had just happened with a frown on his face.

It seems that Shizuka Hiratsuka, who came outside the house, heard Kiichiro Numabuchi's shouting, and in a hurry she jumped out of the window, then kicked Kiichiro Numabuchi, causing him to break the wall on the other side and finally fall on the grass outside the house.

Well, the reasoning is perfect, but...

"Aunt Jing, you just kicked the wall open like that?" Looking at the burr-covered wall around him, Conan said he couldn't accept it.

"Ah, it's just a wooden wall covered with cement. It's easy to kick it open." Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at him unkindly while shaking Kiichiro Numabuchi with one hand.

"What's up with this guy? A criminal?"

"Yes, it was our negligence that almost caused danger." Wiping the sweat from his face, Officer Otaki came over with a wry smile, looking at Kiichiro Numabuchi in Shizuka Hiratsuka's hands with some concern.

He was a little unsure whether the criminal was still alive. After all, being kicked away in such a shocking way was something Officer Otaki had only seen when he was watching Kamen Rider with his children.

"I've really learned a lot today." Officer Otaki blinked and carefully observed Numabuchi Kiichiro in Shizuka Hiratsuka's hands, who was still breathing weakly, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that so?" He frowned, glanced at Xiaolan who had stood up and still looked a little frightened, and Shizuka Hiratsuka made a sound of sighing, then threw Kiichiro Numabuchi to the ground with another over-the-shoulder throw.

"He seemed to be waking up just now, so I let him remain unconscious for a while to be on the safe side." In the face of Officer Otaki's shocked eyes, Shizuka Hiratsuka clapped her hands and said seriously.

"Well, I've thought it through very carefully. Thank you for your help." Nodding heavily, Officer Dalong called the police to come and lift Kiichiro Numabuchi into the police car.

I originally wanted to take Kiichiro Numabuchi directly to the police station, but considering the current situation.

"Let's go to the hospital first."

. . .

"I'm sorry, Aunt Jing, I made you worry." Xiaolan walked to Hiratsuka Shizuka's side somewhat embarrassedly. Her face was rosy even in the dark.

Xiaolan felt a little aggrieved and guilty.

Xiaolan is aware that she is timid, and she has no resistance to scary things and legends about ghosts.

But Shizuka Hiratsuka had already told her this before, and Xiaolan also wanted to change.

But it wasn't until today when Conan stood in front of her motionless body that Xiaolan realized that she had not actually changed.

Xiaolan felt that she was a coward for letting a little kid like Conan protect her.

I clearly want to be as brave and strong as Hiratsuka Shizuka, and that's why I learned karate.

But my performance today was really terrible.

Moreover, her cowardly behavior was seen by the person she admired, Shizuka Hiratsuka, which made Xiaolan feel even more ashamed.

"It's okay. It's normal for a little girl to be scared when encountering such a thing. I didn't see clearly when I took action before, and I was also shocked when I picked her up. I have never seen someone who looks so unlike a human." Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled and shook her head. She could more or less know what Xiaolan was thinking, so she raised her hand and gently touched Xiaolan's hair.

"Aunt Jing, I, I want to talk to you..." Looking at Hiratsuka Jing's gentle eyes, Xiaolan wrinkled her nose and was about to speak in excitement.

"Don't worry, we'll take our time after we get back. Now take a good rest. I brought you some food at Kogoro's place. Go and have some with Conan and the others."

"Ah."

"Sister Jing, are you okay?" After watching Shizuka Hiratsuka and Xiaolan finish their conversation, Yukino came over.

The Yukinoshita sisters were also startled when Shizuka Hiratsuka flew into the room through the glass window, but they felt relieved when they saw Shizuka Hiratsuka carrying Kiichiro Numabuchi as if nothing had happened.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded with a smile and felt that she was quite lucky. She kicked through the glass window and not only did the bullet not hurt her skin, but even her clothes were not torn.

"Mr. Maori, you look a little disappointed." Yukino spoke softly after looking at Xiaolan who walked to Conan and checked him again out of concern.

"Most people would feel a little lost in that kind of situation. It's not that Maori lacks courage."

"Well, you're right, Yukino." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded in agreement with a faint smile on her lips.

"That girl Xiaolan is actually a very brave child, but she doesn't even know it herself."

Chapter 261: Yang No, I think I like it...

"Is that right?"

She blinked slightly. Although she knew that Xiaolan had always been highly regarded by Shizuka Hiratsuka, she couldn't help but feel a little envious when she heard Shizuka Hiratsuka's evaluation of Xiaolan with her own ears, even though Yukino was calm and composed.
