"Okay, let's go." After making sure that everything was ready, Shizuka Hiratsuka locked the car and walked around Hirota Masami's house at a moderate pace.

Compared to going into the room and forming a group to deceive a professor, Shizuka Hiratsuka prefers to check around to see if there are any safety issues that need attention.

After all, as Haibara Ai said before, the organization must be trying its best to find her whereabouts now. The organization can clearly find out all the interpersonal relationships she can think of through her information.

So, if they were not in a hurry to get the disk, Shizuka Hiratsuka would have wanted to persuade them to wait a few days until the storm died down before coming over.

But fortunately, there was no danger. After walking around the house for a long time, Shizuka Hiratsuka did not find any suspicious people or vehicles.

"It seems that the organization's strength is not that great. Is it because they don't have enough manpower in Neon?" Speaking of that organization, Shizuka Hiratsuka also felt a little strange.

The fact that they could produce drugs that could make people smaller was enough to make Shizuka Hiratsuka think that the other party was a mysterious organization that was very powerful worldwide.

However, in the cases that he encountered several times, the other party was engaged in fund-raising activities.

Why, is that organization so short of money?

Her mind was a little blank, thinking about strange things. When Shizuka Hiratsuka was awakened by the noisy sound, she found herself back at the door of Hirota Masami's house.

However, compared to when I left, it is now very lively here.

"Uh, a police car?" Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked as she looked at the police car parked in front of Hirota Masami's door in a daze.

"This... is a bit of a coincidence, but it's impossible that someone in this family died. Conan just went in a short while ago." After laughing dryly twice, Shizuka Hiratsuka fell silent and quickened her pace towards the door.

Although she had some guesses in her mind, Shizuka Hiratsuka did not want to get any definite information.

After all, he is my nephew. How can an elder doubt his junior like this? It is so inappropriate.

Well, as Conan’s Aunt Jing, what I have to do is believe him. This is a scientific world, and everything can be explained by science.

This is what the fat man told me. Even monsters say so, so I shouldn’t think about those weird things.

. . .

"Shinichi, I'm serious. This weekend, I'm going to take you to the temple to worship." Looking at the corpse lying in the study with an expressionless face, Shizuka Hiratsuka tried her best to make her voice sound calmer.

"Huh? Why?" Conan looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka in surprise. His attention was already focused on the case and he didn't think for a moment what going to the temple had to do with him.

Looking at Conan who had already entered the case-solving state, Shizuka Hiratsuka smacked her lips and didn't say anything else. She just stood in an inconspicuous corner and watched Conan act at the crime scene.

It was not until Officer Yokomizo, who was in charge at the scene, repeatedly played the message on the phone that she was pulled to the other side by Conan, whose face suddenly changed.

"You said that voice just now was that of the strong-looking man named Vodka?" Shizuka Hiratsuka frowned. She didn't expect that the organization had really focused its attention here.

"Yes, Aunt Jing, what did you find outside just now?" Conan nodded slightly and looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka seriously.

He believed that Shizuka Hiratsuka's senses were more sensitive than those of wild animals.

"No, I walked around a lot and checked all the suspicious places, but I didn't find anything."

"Is that so?" Conan touched his chin, and the lenses of his glasses shone slightly.

"Then we still have time."

Chapter 294: Everything depends on you, Aunt Jing

The next part of the time entered the part that Shizuka Hiratsuka found most boring.

Holding her arms, Shizuka Hiratsuka kept looking at the surrounding windows without disturbing the police investigation in the room.

Since the people from that organization have already called, it is very likely that they will send someone over.

My recent investigation did not reveal anything unusual, most likely because the other party has not arrived yet.

In this case, she cannot relax her vigilance. Although the police car at the door may have a certain deterrent effect on them, Shizuka Hiratsuka still hopes to keep the initiative in her own hands.

"Then, what's going on with those two? They were fine just now?" Shizuka Hiratsuka touched Dr. Agasa's arm strangely and looked curiously at Conan and Haibara Ai, who suddenly seemed to be against her for some reason.

"Well, I don't know either, but Shinichi said that he has figured out the case." Dr. Agasa said with a smile, scratching his head.

"Oh, has it been figured out? That's great." Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes lit up. She didn't want to stay here anymore and was the happiest to hear the news.

"Well, the next step is to wait for the police to prepare what I need, and then I can deduce the case." Conan nodded slightly and looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Aunt Jing..."

"Don't even think about it. I won't play with you. Go find the doctor." Shizuka Hiratsuka waved her hand in disdain. Knowing what Conan was going to do, she didn't give him any room to apply.

She just needs to watch from the side and doesn't want to do such troublesome things.

"Okay then, Doctor, I'll leave it to you." Conan just glanced at her subconsciously, and didn't feel disappointed even though he didn't think Hiratsuka Shizuka would agree.

He now just wanted to deduce the case, solve it, and get the disk back.

"Haibara, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Conan excitedly starting to prepare for reasoning, Shizuka Hiratsuka walked back to the wall and looked at Haibara Ai with some curiosity, who had returned to her calm state.

"It's nothing, Miss Hiratsuka. I just want to see what kind of reasoning ability this famous Japanese detective has." There was a gleam in her eyes that Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't understand. Haibara Ai seemed to be expecting something, and also seemed to be resentful about something. Her eyes were fixed on Conan not far away.

"Reasoning ability." With a sigh of emotion, Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked as she looked at Conan, who had adjusted his voice and was standing behind Dr. Agasa, attracting everyone's attention.

“Who knows whether it’s good or bad.”

. . .

The reasoning process went very smoothly, and from Shizuka Hiratsuka's point of view, this time's reasoning was much more interesting than the previous ones.

Especially the actual demonstration of using the tape on the phone to send the key back to the room made Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes light up.

Faced with conclusive evidence and reasoning, Bai Cangyang, who was a student of the deceased and killed the victim in a moment of impulse, had no room for excuses. After admitting his crime, he was handcuffed and taken away by the police.

"Where are the things?" Standing by the wall, Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked in confusion as she watched Conan and the professor return empty-handed after negotiating with Officer Yokomizo for a while.

"That tape needs to be taken back to the police station as evidence for investigation. We can only get it back after the investigation is completed." Conan shook his head helplessly, his tone full of loss.

"Oh, I understand." Nodding slightly, Shizuka Hiratsuka twisted her somewhat stiff neck.

"Let's go, let's leave here to avoid any more trouble."

"Yeah." Conan responded softly, following Professor Agasa and Shizuka Hiratsuka, thinking as he moved forward, but suddenly stopped at the door of the study.

"Hey, let's go. We have to go back." Conan turned his head to look at Haibara Ai who was standing there without moving, and called out casually.

"why?"

The sudden question made Conan feel strange, but before he could express his impatient doubts, a tear slid down his cheek and blocked all the words Conan wanted to say.

"Why, at that time, didn't you save my sister?" Tears had filled Haibara Ai's eyes at some point, but she seemed not to feel it, and just stared at Conan in front of her.

The inquiry and doubt in his eyes stabbed Conan like a knife.

"You, your sister?" Conan felt a little uneasy, and his voice trembled.

"Don't you understand? Hirota Masami is a pseudonym given by Professor Hirota for my sister Miyano Akemi!"

"That 1 billion yen robber, Hirota Masami, is yours!" Conan's eyes widened in shock, and he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

In all the years he has been a detective, apart from the honest doctor who disappeared while playing the piano in the sea of ​​fire, nothing has made Conan feel more sad than Hirota Masami who died in front of him.

"..." Dr. Agasa glanced at Officer Yokomizo behind him with a strange look in his eyes in a panic. The expression on Shizuka Hiratsuka's face was also not very natural, but no one took the initiative to disturb the girl who was venting her suppressed emotions.

"So, she is your sister."

"Yes!" Her voice kept trembling. Haibara Ai was becoming more and more agitated and could no longer think about the situation she was in. She just wanted to ask clearly, why, why.

"Let me ask you this now! Since you have such a strong ability in reasoning, you should have easily figured out what happened with my sister!"

"But, but you, why didn't you!?"

When Haibara Ai fell to her knees, clutched Conan's clothes with her hands, and cried out at the top of her lungs, Conan didn't know how to express his unspeakable feelings.

All previous doubts were dispelled at this moment, and what filled my heart was deep regret and self-blame.

He had no way to face the girl in front of him now.

"Huh~" Turning her head back, Shizuka Hiratsuka walked back to the study, walked past Professor Agasa who was at a loss and wanted to comfort something, knelt on one knee behind Haibara Ai, then stretched out her hand and turned Haibara Ai's body gently but firmly, and hugged her tightly in her arms in her confused and sad eyes.

"Cry, it will make you feel better."

"Woooo ...

. . .

"are you asleep?"

Holding the freshly brewed coffee, the doctor looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka who walked out of the guest bedroom.

"Well, she fell asleep in the car and hasn't woken up yet. It must be because she is too young and she is tired after crying." Her voice was a little low. After taking the coffee from Dr. Agasa, Shizuka Hiratsuka exhaled and slowly sat down on the sofa in the living room.

"Then why don't you sleep at my place tonight, Xiaojing? It's so late, don't bother."

"Okay, then I won't be polite with you. I'm a little tired too." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded with a smile and stood up with the coffee. When she walked past Conan who was sitting on the sofa opposite, she reached out and patted his head gently.

"Don't overthink it. Aren't we, the ones who are still alive, working hard with the expectations of more people on our shoulders? Everything will be fine."

"Go to bed early. Children can't stay up late." Seeing Conan, who had been depressed since he came back, raised his head, Hiratsuka Shizuka also showed a proud smile.

"Remember what I always told you, brat?"

"Yeah." His eyes flickered slightly, and Conan felt his heart slowly warming up.

"Everything is up to you, Aunt Jing."

"Well, I'll take care of everything, just don't worry!"

Chapter 295 What is your preference?

After resting for a night at Dr. Agasa's house, Shizuka Hiratsuka got up early the next day, ran around the street for a while, and then returned to Dr. Agasa's house with the breakfast she had bought.

"Oh, you're awake already? You're up pretty early."

When she opened the door, Shizuka Hiratsuka saw Ai Haibara sitting quietly on the sofa in the living room, wondering what she was thinking about.

"Good morning, Miss Hiratsuka." Her eyes, awakened from her thoughts, wavered slightly. Haibara Ai turned her head and nodded and greeted softly to Shizuka Hiratsuka who was standing at the door changing shoes.

"Well, good morning." Nodding with a smile, Shizuka Hiratsuka put the breakfast in her hand on the coffee table. She naturally looked at the little girl in front of her.

Just like when we first met, he doesn't seem to be very talkative, and his face always has a calmness and tranquility that is not suitable for a child of his age. It makes people want to explore or try a prank to see if this serious little face can become lively.

Perhaps because she saw Haibara Ai's desperate crying last night, Shizuka Hiratsuka has now let go of the harshness and vigilance in her heart when facing Haibara Ai.

It cannot be said that he was completely relaxed, but he was no longer vaguely wary of this girl with an extraordinary background as before.

"Are you hungry? You can eat something first. I'll go call those two lazy bums to get up." Shizuka Hiratsuka let down her hair that was tied up for running, shook her head casually, and looked at Haibara Ai with a smile.

"I'm not very hungry. Let's wait for them to eat together." Shaking her head slightly, Haibara Ai said calmly.

"Well, then you can read something to kill time. Those two are very troublesome in the morning." Although she knew in her heart that Haibara Ai was not a real child like Conan, when she saw the other party answering her in a mature manner with such a cute little face, Hiratsuka Shizuka still felt itchy in her heart.

How does the saying go, this is the contrast of cuteness, right?

She naturally reached out and touched Haibara Ai's little head, and then Hiratsuka Shizuka ran towards the bedroom where Conan and Professor Agasa were sleeping, without caring at all about the relationship between men and women.

"Doctor! Shinichi! Get up and have breakfast!"

"Ah! Xiaojing, you got up so early."

"Auntie Jing! You scared me to death! Don't shout so loudly so early in the morning!"

Listening to the noise that broke the silence coming from the room, Haibara Ai blinked slowly, with a subtle expression, and raised her little hand to gently touch her head.

That soft touch was unfamiliar to Haibara Ai.

'Yesterday, I felt like I was wrapped in something very warm, that feeling...' In a trance, Huiyuan Ai thought of the strange warmth she felt when she had an emotional breakdown last night, and her heart couldn't help but beat slightly.

"What does it feel like?"

"What, what feeling?" The sudden voice woke up Haibara Ai who was in deep thought.

Turning her head silently, Haibara Ai calmly looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka who had already come out of the room.

"Nothing, maybe I'm a little hungry."

Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka in front of her, Haibara Ai did not express her strange thoughts.

She didn't think she was qualified to expect such gentle treatment, so it would be better not to have too high expectations.

"Really? Well, let's eat first. I'm tired of their slowness." She nodded with a smile. After hearing what Haibara Ai said, Shizuka Hiratsuka sat down beside her casually, opened the breakfast bag with both hands, and opened the packaged boxes one by one.

"Come on, if you're talking about morning, you'd better drink some hot rice porridge to make your stomach feel comfortable. This bowl is yours. There are other side dishes and so on. Eat whatever you want."
