Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

"...Well, thank you Aunt Jing!~" With her eyebrows curved, Haibara Ai felt that she had never laughed so easily before.

Such a heartfelt joy!

Chapter 305: Conan isn't going, that's all right

"It seems like you guys are getting along well with Ai~"

While waiting for the red light, Shizuka Hiratsuka turned around and glanced at Conan sitting in the passenger seat.

The afternoon shopping activity started very pleasantly. Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had no shortage of money, hosted the party and bought a lot of clothes for Conan, the professor and Ai.

Of course, the most of them are Ai. After all, Conan is a little boy and the doctor is an old man, and they don’t care much about dressing up. On the contrary, the mixed-blood Ai is so cute no matter what she wears that Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn’t help but buy a lot of her.

For the first time, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt the same way as when she went shopping with Haruno and Fujiko. It turned out that buying clothes for others and watching them dress up in her hands was such an interesting thing.

"That's not as good as you, Aunt Jing." He complained softly, and even Conan widened his eyes when he thought of shopping this afternoon.

You have to know that no matter in front of him or in front of Dr. Agasa, Haibara Ai has always been calm and indifferent. Even when she is with Ayumi and a group of children, she is not so enthusiastic. It seems that there is nothing she is interested in, and she will never waste her time on troublesome things.

But what did he see today?

The cold and cyborg-like Haibara Ai let Shizuka Hiratsuka drag her to visit one store after another for exactly three hours. She let Shizuka Hiratsuka constantly ask her to change different clothes without showing any annoyance.

"As expected, all of Aunt Jing's charm lies in her special attacks on women?" His eyes flickered subtly, and Conan turned his head slightly, carefully examining Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was standing beside him, illuminated by the lights on both sides of the road.

Well, she is very beautiful, and that heroic spirit that most women don't have is even more touching. Not to mention her figure. Conan has never seen anyone with a more attractive figure than Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Well, my mother and the previous Miss Mineko also have good figures, but compared to Shizuka Hiratsuka, they lack some of the eye-catching vitality and fitness. As for Xiaolan... she is still too immature.

In addition, she has straight black hair that even her mother Yukiko, who is also a woman, envy, and she has a natural charm in every gesture.

Well, she can be said to be a perfect woman, but Conan doesn't feel moved at all.

"Hey, I don't know what you're thinking, but your look really annoys me!" Shizuka Hiratsuka, who has a very sharp eye, clearly saw the fleeting regret and the relief that followed in Conan's eyes.

For some reason, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt her fist itchy.

"Ahaha, it's okay. After all, we were together every day in school, so we gradually became familiar with each other." Touching the back of his head, Conan skillfully showed a silly smile.

"Really? So, have you let down your guard?" The green light came on, and Shizuka Hiratsuka started the sports car steadily, but the conversation did not stop.

"...I guess so for now." Conan blinked and thought about his interactions with Haibara Ai these days, and the day when she cried hysterically in front of him, and his tone became a little heavy.

"Don't be anxious, everything will take time." Glancing at Conan who was in deep thought, Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't help but speak to comfort him.

"I heard from the doctor that Ai has already started her research. Everything is developing in a positive way. All we have to do is to proceed steadily and steadily."

"Don't worry, Aunt Jing, I know." He nodded gently. It must be said that Hiratsuka Shizuka's tireless reminders in Conan's ears were useful. At least Conan did behave much more maturely when encountering cases these few times.

"Oh, Aunt Shizuka." After the car stopped under the detective agency, Conan picked up the clothes that Shizuka Hiratsuka sold him, as well as the gifts for Xiaolan and Kogoro from the back seat.

"Ok?"

"Haibara seems to be closer to you." Conan, who didn't want to say anything more, thought of the soothing smile on Ai's face that he saw in the mall this afternoon. After hesitating for a moment, he called out to Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Besides, there are some things that are inconvenient for the doctor and I to talk about. Aunt Jing, you are also a woman, so you should pay more attention to Huibara."

"...What do you mean I am also a woman?" Shizuka Hiratsuka glared at Conan who knew he had said the wrong thing. She recalled Ai's performance today and nodded slightly.

"I understand. I will be careful. And you, even though it's vacation, try not to wander around. It's best to stay home for two days if you're sick, so as not to cause trouble to others during the New Year."

"What do you mean by causing trouble to others?" Conan looked at the serious Shizuka Hiratsuka speechlessly. He shook his head tiredly and said goodbye to Shizuka Hiratsuka with the bag.

"Tsk, you little brat still doesn't believe me. I really should take you to pay your respects to the shrine." After starting the sports car, Shizuka Hiratsuka muttered to herself, and her expression changed slightly.

"If the shrines in Tokyo also worship monsters, then it seems there's no point in visiting them..."

"So it's better to let Shinichi go out!"

. . .

"Is Conan catching a cold?" Shizuka Hiratsuka put the phone to her ear blankly, listening to the speechless voice of Kogoro Mouri on the other end of the phone, and felt a little weird in her heart.

I just said it casually yesterday, it can't be that smart, right?

"Yeah, it seems like it's because I was sweating from running around while watching the game and then got blown by the wind."

"Is that so? Then just take good care of it at home."

"No, I have to send Xiaolan and Yuanzi to attend a magic lovers' association soon, and this brat has to go with them, so Xiaojing, don't come over today. We don't know when we will be home."

"Okay then, drive slowly. It snowed yesterday." He shook his head indifferently. Anyway, he lived nearby and it wouldn't hurt to take another day to go whenever he wanted to.

but. .

"Just to ask, where are Xiaolan and Sonoko going?"

"It seems to be a villa in the mountains."

"...Then, will Conan stay there too?"

"How is that possible? After sending those two girls over, I'm going to take this brat home to see a doctor."

"Oh, that's okay. Drive slower, Kogoro-ni."

"Well, don't worry."

"Well, it looks like today is another free day~" After hanging up the phone, Shizuka Hiratsuka stretched lazily.

"It's still early, let's spend the afternoon lazily, and then go to the pub for a drink in the evening~"

“It’s so nice to have peaceful days~”

. . .

"What! Brother Kogoro, did you say something happened to Ran? And Conan even ran from the burning bridge into the villa?"

With her brows tightly locked together, Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced at the wine in her hand and shook her head with a headache.

"Where are you now? I'll be there right away!"

Chapter 306: Hiratsuka Shizuka's Complaint

"Kogoro-kun, Conan, Ran and the others are over there, right?"

They drove quickly and found Kogoro Mouri who was walking around anxiously in the police station at the foot of the mountain. Shizuka Hiratsuka drove him to the location of the broken bridge.

"Yes, it's over there." Nodding seriously, Kogoro Mouri looked at the broken bridge in front of him with a very ugly expression.

"So, why do rich people nowadays like to build villas in places surrounded by river valleys, and then build a bridge made of wood and rope? Don't you think it would be better to build a steel and concrete bridge?" Shizuka Hiratsuka covered her head with a headache and felt that she really could not understand the thoughts of those rich people.

Sure enough, the richer you are, the easier it is to get what you want in life, and the more you crave excitement? Are you so afraid of getting into danger on vacation that you have to push yourself to the brink of despair to be happy?

"Forget it, now is not the time to complain about this." Looking at the lighted villa in the distance, Shizuka Hiratsuka took out the hook and rope she had prepared from the trunk of her off-road vehicle.

"Sure enough, it's very difficult to walk over there from other places. It's better to go directly there." Twisting her neck, Shizuka Hiratsuka connected the hook and the rope, and her eyes wandered to the bridge pillar on the opposite bank that was burned and looked black.

"Xiao Jing, is there anything I can do that would make things worse?" Standing next to Hiratsuka Shizuka, Maori Kogoro asked seriously.

"Ah, Kogoro, please help me tie the other end of the rope to the tree trunk." Knowing how anxious Kogoro Mouri was, Shizuka Hiratsuka did not refuse his help.

"But wait a moment." After moving her wrists and shoulders, Shizuka Hiratsuka adjusted the rope and began to rotate in a circle.

"Go!" Aiming at the bridge pillar, Shizuka Hiratsuka swung out the round hook, watching the hook with the rope draw an exquisite parabola across the valley and successfully reach the other side.

"Well, it looks like it's working well." She pulled the rope back with all her strength. After hearing a fairly clear sound of metal collision, Shizuka Hiratsuka pulled the already stretched rope in her hand with all her strength, and confirmed that her hook had been successfully hooked on the opposite bridge pillar.

"It seems to have good endurance. Brother Kogoro, can you help me straighten the rope here and tie it to the tree trunk high up?"

"Okay!" Without any nonsense, Kogoro Mouri nimbly climbed up to a not-so-thin tree closest to the valley with the end of the rope in his claws. According to Shizuka Hiratsuka's request, he tied the rope after wrapping it around twice.

"Okay, then I'll go over and try." After stretching her body, Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly had an idea and took some tools left by Fujiko in the storage room of her apartment before trying to cross the valley.

"I'll go with you." Kogoro Mouri said urgently after jumping down from the tree.

"Let me go. After all, we came in a hurry and I only brought one prop for crossing the zipline. Besides, I am lighter than you, Kogoro, so it will be safer for me to cross the zipline." Shaking her head slightly, Shizuka Hiratsuka rejected Kogoro Mori's request.

"You should stay here and help pass on the message. My phone has a signal no matter where I am, so it will be convenient for us to contact each other."

"No, after all, let me..."

"Okay, man, stop wasting time! It's about to snow here again. If I delay any longer, it will be dangerous for me to go over there!" Waving her hand to interrupt Kogoro Mouri, Shizuka Hiratsuka firmly stated that it would be safer to go by herself.

After all, it was Shizuka Hiratsuka's first time to cross the valley in this way. If an accident really happened, she could try to use Qi to strengthen her body so that she would not be easily hurt.

She had seen clearly that the water at the bottom of the valley was not frozen, so as long as she found a way to fall into the water, there would be basically no problem.

"Well, okay, Xiaojing, you have to be careful!" Maori Kogoro was speechless after being retorted by Hiratsuka Shizuka. He gritted his teeth and had to agree to Hiratsuka Shizuka's proposal.

"Okay, then I'll go over." Nodding, Shizuka Hiratsuka took a deep breath, and after circulating the energy in her body throughout her body in advance, Shizuka Hiratsuka put the rappelling equipment in her hand on the straight rope, and without any hesitation, she pushed off and slid out.

Looking nervously at the rapidly moving Hiratsuka Shizuka, Maori Kogoro held his hand on the trembling rope. If the hook on the other side was not firm, Maori Kogoro would try his best to grab the rope and pull Hiratsuka Shizuka back.

"Huh!" The strong wind swept across Shizuka Hiratsuka's cheek, but fortunately, her eyes, which were strengthened by her aura, allowed Shizuka Hiratsuka to clearly judge the distance between herself and the other side of the valley.

As their speed increased and they got closer and closer to the cliff, Shizuka Hiratsuka shouted softly, exerted force with her arms, and used the elasticity of the rope to swing her body up, landing on the snow like a female leopard.

"Buzz! ~Crack!" The rope shook violently, and then the bridge pillar caught by the hook made a crisp breaking sound.

Looking at the hook falling into the valley due to the gravity of the rope, Shizuka Hiratsuka did not feel sorry, but waved to Kogoro Mouri who was relieved on the other side of the valley.

"I leave it to you!" The wind and snow gradually became stronger. Maori Kogoro didn't care whether Hiratsuka Shizuka could hear his calls clearly. After making sure that Hiratsuka Shizuka had successfully reached the other side, he stopped for a moment and drove Hiratsuka Shizuka's off-road vehicle back down the mountain.

. . .

"Let's have a drink, it will warm us up." Holding two bottles of wine from the wine cellar, Huang Yi tried to make his tone sound more relaxed.

"Are you still drinking at this time?" Sitting on a chair next to the dining table in the living room, Kuroda Naoko's expression was not so natural.

"It's okay if you just drink a little." Tanaka Kikue smiled and shook her head, and her mood became more cheerful.

"Um, did you hear the sound of the door opening just now?" Just as everyone's eyes were looking at the two bottles of red wine that Huang Yize brought out, Qing Rilu, who was sitting closest to the entrance of the living room, suddenly blinked. Although the sound of wind and snow could be heard from time to time outside, he felt that he should not have heard it wrong.

"The sound of the door opening?!" Sonoko widened her eyes and was frightened by Qing Rilu's words. She quickly hugged Xiaolan beside her and looked nervously at the entrance to the living room.

"There are indeed footsteps, there is someone outside!" With his eyebrows tightly locked, Doi Takeshu's attitude became serious.

"Who is it?" The footsteps became clearer and clearer, and everyone in the living room was nervous.

"Click~" The door handle slowly turned, and then a figure appeared in everyone's sight with a disgusted voice.

"Really? I still don't understand why you guys like to come to such a troublesome place to play!"

"Auntie Jing! (Sister Jing!)"

Chapter 307: Do you understand?

Everyone, who had originally had serious expressions, all froze in place after hearing Conan, Xiaolan and Sonoko's exclamations.

I thought it was the suspect who showed up, but it turned out to be someone Xiaolan and the others knew?

Of course, among the people present, there was another person whose eyes became violently turbulent the moment he saw Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"What a joke, how could she be here!" Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka who appeared in front of him in shock, Kidd struggled to maintain his disguise, but his heart was already in turmoil.

It’s no wonder that Kidd was so shocked. After all, Shizuka Hiratsuka had left such a deep impression on him.

Kidd, who felt he had seen too many scenes, defined Hiratsuka Shizuka in his mind with just two simple words.

'Invincible'

Quietly covering his slightly aching stomach, Kidd tried hard to control his expression.

"It's okay. I'm putting on makeup now. She's probably here because she's worried about the two girls over there. It has nothing to do with me. As long as I don't provoke her, I'll be safe."

"Well, originally we had no conflicts this time, it's safe!"

Not knowing the turmoil in Kid's heart, Sonoko, Xiaolan, and Conan all shouted in surprise. Then, when they finally reacted, they quickly ran to Shizuka Hiratsuka and threw themselves into her arms.

"Sister Jing! It's great that you're here!!"

"Okay, okay, why are you still crying? What injustice have you suffered?" He sighed helplessly, and looking at Sonoko who threw herself into his arms as if she could finally stretch herself, Shizuka Hiratsuka reached out and patted her on the back.

"Aunt Jing, why are you here?" Xiaolan, who walked to Hiratsuka Shizuka's side a step slower, also looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka with joy. Her heart, which was originally a little worried and nervous, calmed down instantly.

"It's because I was worried about you. I rushed here immediately after Kogoro called me." Reaching out to touch Xiaolan's head, Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced at Conan who was also looking at her in surprise.
