Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

"Ran, I told you not to worry. Although Shinichi is a little arrogant, he's still smart. He won't let himself get into any particularly dangerous situations."

"Well, I'm sorry, Aunt Jing, I was a little panicked." Xiaolan nodded embarrassedly and said in a low voice.

"It's okay, let's go in and take a look. I also want to ask where this kid ran off to." Twisting her neck, Shizuka Hiratsuka waved to Shuai Shuai in the car seat.

Looking at Shuai Shuai jumping nimbly onto Hiratsuka Shizuka's arm, then easily climbing onto her shoulder and lying down, Xiaolan blinked and spoke with some envy.

"Aunt Jing, Shuai Shuai is really sensible. It seems like he can understand what you are saying."

"Well, they say animals have spirits. Maybe Shuai Shuai is smarter." He smiled and touched Shuai Shuai's head. After spending these days together, Shizuka Hiratsuka liked this obedient little guy more and more.

"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

"Yeah." Xiaolan followed Hiratsuka Shizuka obediently. Where Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't see, Xiaolan couldn't help but gently rub her slightly rosy face.

Thinking back to her behavior in the car just now, Xiaolan blinked embarrassedly.

"I'm just concerned about Shinichi. After all, we grew up together. Aunt Jing shouldn't misunderstand anything, right?"

Not knowing what Xiaolan was thinking behind her, Shizuka Hiratsuka took the lead in pushing open the door of Kudo Shinichi's house, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

"Good boy, you ruined such a good opportunity today. You are really not like your father at all! I will not be able to vent my anger if I don't teach you a lesson today!"

Although Shinichi and Xiaolan were both raised by Shizuka Hiratsuka, as the elder, of course she would be more supportive of the little girl!

Don't ask, asking is unreasonable! Who made Xiaolan so kind, so cute, and so obedient!

"Hey, Shinichi brat, tell me you're home!"

. . .

"It's over, it's over, Doctor, why is Aunt Jing here!" Kudo Shinichi, who had just finished discussing with Dr. Agasa what to do in the future, was stunned when he heard this familiar voice.

"I can't let her see me like this!"

"Calm down, Shinichi!" Dr. Agasa lowered his voice, pressing Kudo Shinichi's shoulders with both hands.

"It's okay. Don't forget that you've become smaller now! No normal person would have thought you would become like this. As long as you act like a real person, Xiaojing won't notice anything. After all, she has always been a very carefree person."

"You're right, I've become smaller now!" Nodding in agreement, Kudo Shinichi's nervous mood eased a little.

"Shinichi, are you at home?"

"It's over, it's over, Doctor, Xiaolan is here too!"

"...Shinichi, calm down!" If the current situation did not allow it, Dr. Agasa really wanted to throw this naughty kid out and leave him alone.

"You go to the back first, I'll handle it!" After pushing Kudo Shinichi behind the desk, Dr. Agasa just cleared his throat and saw Shizuka Hiratsuka and Ran walked into the study one after another.

"Hey, Doctor, you're here." Seeing the doctor in the study, Shizuka Hiratsuka was also stunned.

"Ah, Xiaojing and Xiaolan, why are you here so late?" Dr. Agasa greeted them with a smile, looking much calmer.

"We're here to find that kid Shinichi." Seeing Dr. Agasa at Shinichi's house, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't care at all. After all, Dr. Agasa was also an old friend, and his relationship with the Kudo family could no longer be described as neighbors.

"Dr. Agasa, have you seen Shinichi? I haven't been able to contact him since we parted ways."

"Shinichi, he hasn't come back yet." Dr. Agasa touched the hair on the back of his head, shook his head and said slowly.

"He called me just now and said that he suddenly encountered an interesting case so he went there. It seems that he will not be back in the next two days." With an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face, the doctor used all his life's acting skills tonight.

"By the way, Xiaojing, let me tell you directly, can you please ask for leave for Shinichi?"

"Ah, it's not impossible." Scratching her hair, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

"Is Shinichi in trouble again?" Xiaolan said softly with a sad and relieved expression.

"Well, isn't he like this often? So don't worry, Xiaolan." Seeing Xiaolan's expression, Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head and said in a relaxed tone.

"I know, it's okay, Aunt Shizuka." Seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka's concerned look, Xiaolan also smiled.

"Okay, Doctor, we'll leave first." Turning around and waving at Dr. Agasa, Shizuka Hiratsuka said with a smile.

"You should stay up late less. You already have very little hair. In two years, you'll really need a wig."

"Bang!" As soon as Shizuka Hiratsuka finished her joke, she heard a strange banging sound coming from behind the desk.

"What's that sound?" He blinked in surprise. Before Shizuka Hiratsuka moved, Xiaolan walked over curiously.

"Is anyone there?"

"Oh, you're a shy person~"

PS: Four updates.

Emmm, is it a guaranteed minimum?

But if you think about it this way, there were three updates yesterday and four updates today, so there will probably be five updates tomorrow, right?

I'm so strong! (Great reading)

Chapter 122 I have something to ask you

"Wow, this child is so cute!~"

When Xiaolan saw the figure hiding behind the desk, she couldn't help but blink.

I don’t know why, but even though this was the first time I saw this child, he gave me a familiar feeling.

It’s like someone who has been with me for a long time.

Unable to hold back her love for the little figure, Xiaolan, who already loved children, hugged the little figure directly.

"Oh, there really is someone behind here." Blinking curiously, Shizuka Hiratsuka took a step forward, walked to the desk and stuck her head out.

"Hey, who is this kid? Doctor, is he your relative?" Looking at the little boy who had been put on the ground by Xiaolan, leaning against the bookshelf and looking at her and Xiaolan timidly, Shizuka Hiratsuka turned her head and asked Dr. Agasa.

"Ah, it's indeed my relative's child." He touched his head with a dry laugh. Although he was a little nervous about Shinichi exposing himself in advance, he had already done the ideological work when he heard Hiratsuka Shizuka and Xiaolan coming in, so Dr. Agasa quickly calmed down.

"Originally, I brought him here to see Shinichi, but I didn't expect that boy to not come back."

"Oh, I see." Nodding slightly, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked down at the shrinking Shinichi Kudo, and the more she looked, the stranger it seemed to her.

"Strange, why does this child look so familiar to me?" Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, her gaze wandering over Shinichi's eyes. Hiratsuka Shizuka subconsciously imagined in her mind what the child's face would look like without eyes.

"What's your name?~" Xiaolan squatted on the ground with a smile. After knowing that Shinichi was fine, she felt relieved and wanted to tease this child who gave her a good first impression.

"I...I screamed." Shinichi leaned against the bookshelf, blinking rapidly.

Xiaolan and Shizuka Hiratsuka came too suddenly. Shinichi originally wanted to fool them and then find time to contact them.

But who could have thought that he would be so stupid as to hit Kudo Yusaku's eyes, and end up making a noise while in a daze, exposing himself.

Looking at Xiaolan's sweet little face in front of him, Shinichi couldn't help but shift his gaze.

"Why did this child come to you, Doctor? Don't you usually contact your relatives?" Shizuka Hiratsuka stood beside Dr. Agasa and chatted casually, hugging her arms and glancing at Xiaolan who was teasing the child.

"Ah, the child's parents have been away recently. I have considered asking others for help, but the child is too young and the others have their own jobs. After looking around, I found that I am the one with the least time." Dr. Agasa quickly came up with an excuse while secretly looking at Shinichi and Xiaolan.

"Oh, I see. What's the child's name?"

"Um, name..." The silly smile on his face froze in an instant, and Dr. Agasa subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of Kudo Shinichi.

Time is too tight and they haven't yet colluded with each other.

"Aunt Jing, this child's name is Edogawa Conan. It's a very strange name." After touching the head of the shrunken Shinichi, Xiaolan stood up and spoke to Hiratsuka Jing with a smile.

"Edogawa Conan? It's really strange." Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked. Even though she had been a teacher for so many years, it was the first time she heard this surname.

"Come, little guy, come to me." Looking at the little Conan, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't know what she was thinking about and waved at him.

The fear and obedience towards Shizuka Hiratsuka engraved in his bones made Shinichi walk towards her subconsciously. By the time he realized something was wrong, he had already walked in front of Shizuka Hiratsuka.

His pupils contracted slightly, and something Shinichi was terrified of happened.

Shizuka Hiratsuka slowly squatted in front of him, looked at him subtly, then reached out and took off her eyes.

His body stiffened instantly, and Shinichi stared blankly at Shizuka Hiratsuka in front of him, not daring to move.

"Did Aunt Jing see anything? Damn it, I forgot that Aunt Jing often took me out to play when I was little. She must be very familiar with what I looked like when I was little. Am I going to be exposed!?"

"Sure enough, I felt it was strange when I saw it before." In Shinichi's frightened eyes, Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled and nodded, put the glasses in her hand back on his face, and then slowly stood up.

"Dr. Agasa, your relative's child looks a lot like Shinichi when he was a child."

"Huh? Really? I was wondering why I felt a familiar feeling when looking at Conan." Her eyes lit up instantly. After hearing what Shizuka Hiratsuka said, Xiaolan nodded excitedly and looked at the shrunken Shinichi with great interest.

"Haha, yes, I had the same feeling when I first saw Conan." With a barely perceptible sigh of relief, Dr. Agasa put on his usual good-natured smile again and said cheerfully.

"And Conan's family is related to Shinichi's, so I thought of bringing him here to meet Shinichi."

"I love Shinichi brother the most!~" Seeing that his crisis was temporarily resolved, Shinichi breathed a sigh of relief. He showed his unprecedented acting skills and tried his best to act like a primary school student.

"Oh, I see." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded slightly. She had no intention of doubting what Dr. Agasa said. Although she had a good relationship with Yukiko and Kudo Yusaku, she had never taken the initiative to ask about the affairs of their two families, so she had no idea about their relatives.

"Conan, I'm telling you, don't learn from that brat Shinichi in the future. Apart from his good brain, there's nothing else worth praising about him. You have to be a good boy too, okay?" Shizuka Hiratsuka gently touched Shinichi's head and became furious when she thought of the person who made her depressed today.

"Hey. But Shinichi-nii is so awesome!" Shinichi's expression was slightly stiff. He didn't expect Hiratsuka Shizuka to say such bad things about him. He blinked and wanted to use his current appearance to defend himself.

"Being powerful doesn't necessarily mean he's worth learning from. You're still young and you'll understand it slowly in the future." Shizuka Hiratsuka narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking about how she had been blowing in the evening breeze for more than half an hour but hadn't even seen the shadows of Kudo Shinichi and Xiaolan, and had once again lost the news of the mysterious organization. Her eyes couldn't help but become murderous.

"Yes, I understand!" He instinctively stood up straight and looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka in this state without any thought of resisting.

"Well, he's an obedient child." Shizuka Hiratsuka patted Shinichi's head with a smile and turned to look at Dr. Agasa beside him.

"But Dr. Agasa, you have your hands full. You're struggling to make a living, and now you have to take care of a child."

"What you said is, I am a mature adult." Dr. Agasa argued in a bad mood, blinked, and after glancing at Shizuka Hiratsuka and Ran, he nodded slightly.

"Actually, I have a favor to ask of you."

Chapter 123 If that's the case, I'll accept it.

"What's the matter? Just tell me."

She nodded with a smile, and because of her relationship with Dr. Agasa, Shizuka Hiratsuka agreed without hesitation.

"Well, I'm sorry to say this, but you all know I live here alone, and I'm always busy with research. Once I get serious, I completely lose track of time." Dr. Agasa said with a smile, touching the back of his hair with an awkward expression.

"I'm a little worried that I won't be able to take good care of this child if I leave him with me."

"Oh, so you mean?" Shizuka Hiratsuka raised her eyebrows and glanced at Conan who had a dazed expression beside her, and she understood what Dr. Agasa was thinking.

"Well, I was thinking, if it's convenient for you, Xiaolan, can you let the child live in your house temporarily? After all, I'm an old man and I'm not very good at taking care of children." Dr. Agasa said with a smile, looking at Xiaolan ingratiatingly.

"Oh, is that so?" Xiaolan blinked in surprise. She didn't expect Dr. Agasa to make such a request. She was also stunned for a moment.

"Doctor!" Conan was stunned for a moment after hearing Dr. Agasa's words. After he reacted, he quickly stretched out his short legs and ran to Dr. Agasa's side.

"Why did you ask me to go to Xiaolan's house?" Conan lowered his voice and spoke in an urgent tone.

"This is for your own good, Shinichi. With your personality, I know you will definitely investigate the organization that shrunk you. Then, wouldn't it be perfect for you to stay at Xiaolan's house? Xiaolan's father is also a detective. You might be able to find some useful information there. Otherwise, how can I feel at ease with you in this state?"

"Uh." Conan opened his mouth, but was left speechless by what the doctor said.

Yes, I am no longer the famous high school detective in Tokyo. Now my body has become smaller, and it is very inconvenient for me to do anything.

"But I don't want to involve Xiaolan." Conan said unwillingly, scratching his hair in distress.

"So, Shinichi, you must be more careful in your future actions. If you encounter any problems, you must contact me as soon as possible. The fact that that organization can kill you directly means that they are very dangerous! You can't act according to your previous personality!" Dr. Agasa said in a deep voice, patting Conan's shoulders with both hands.

"I, I understand." Conan nodded seriously and agreed to Dr. Agasa's proposal.

Yes, going to Xiaolan's house is the best choice. I don't want to tell my parents about myself becoming smaller for the time being, and I have no way to investigate anything on my own. Seeking help from Kogoro Mouri's detective agency is the best way at the moment.

As for going to Shizuka Hiratsuka's house.

Neither Dr. Agasa nor Conan had this idea.

Although psychologically speaking, it would be safer to live in Shizuka Hiratsuka's house, Conan does not have the confidence to pretend to be so nice in front of Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Not to mention that Shizuka Hiratsuka and his mother have been friends for many years and have a great resistance to disguise and acting, just the intuition that Shizuka Hiratsuka has developed from practicing martial arts since childhood, which Yukiko jokingly calls radar, makes Conan give up the idea of ​​having too much contact with Shizuka Hiratsuka after he becomes a child.

What a joke! My aunt Jing relies more on her beast-like instincts than logical reasoning when judging things.

This kind of person is the most difficult to deal with.
