Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

. . .

"Hmm! I'm finally out! Seriously, why do I always seem to encounter strange things after coming to Tokyo?"

After walking out of the apartment building, Shizuka Hiratsuka stretched lazily. She almost suffocated herself in the room before.

"But Kogoro-kun performed very well. His analysis was very logical. He has the same style as when he was pursuing Eri!" Shizuka Hiratsuka said jokingly, looking at Kogoro Mouri who was covering his head and looking a little confused.

"Ha, what are you talking about, Xiaojing? Of course it was Eri who pursued me back then! How could I possibly pursue a woman of such low standards!" Kogoro Mouri, who was still confused about why he suddenly fainted, was instantly furious when Inspector Megure held his hand and thanked him excitedly after waking up.

"Yes, yes, you keep talking tough. I don't care about you two." He waved his hands in disdain. Who doesn't know who? Do you two still want to pretend in front of him?

If you can, don't be so hesitant and force yourself to bring gifts to your partner every year on their birthday! I don't even have a partner, so do I have to be tortured by you every year?

Why does she look disgusted, complain out loud, and then try to stuff things into her mouth in a secretive way? If she says she doesn't have time and still refuses to do it, is it so fun to torture her, a single person!

Feeling somewhat exhausted, Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head helplessly, but her mind suddenly flashed through that slim figure.

"Cough cough!"

"Auntie Jing, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Hiratsuka Jing's face suddenly turned red, Xiaolan asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Shizuka Hiratsuka quickly waved her hands and turned her head away.

"I'm wondering if I should get a different car."

Chapter 140: The One Favored by Death

"transfer?"

Without suspecting anything, Xiaolan blinked cutely and looked at the sports car parked beside Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Although she doesn't know much about sports cars, Xiaolan, who has a close relationship with Shizuka Hiratsuka, knows that Shizuka Hiratsuka's favorite car is not something that can be bought at an ordinary price.

"Aunt Jing really likes this car, why do you want to change it?"

"Well, it was fine if I was driving by myself before, but now that I'm in Tokyo, I feel like there are more people around me who need my care, and a two-seater sports car isn't always that convenient." Shizuka Hiratsuka said softly, casually shaking the car keys between her fingers.

"It's already this late, Xiaolan, I think you shouldn't go home to cook. Let's find a restaurant to eat together."

"Forget it, if you want to eat, you can take one more day. Let's go back first. Xiaojing, you too, go home early and don't go out drinking again!" Shaking his head slightly, Maori Kogoro stared at Hiratsuka Shizuka and said helplessly.

Although I like to drink, Shizuka Hiratsuka is not bad either.

No, I should say that in terms of drinking capacity, Shizuka Hiratsuka is better than me.

"That's fine. I won't see you off. There's no room in my car." She shrugged casually. Shizuka Hiratsuka has always been rude to Kogoro Mouri and his family.

"So, Kogoro-ni, why did you come to me this time to talk about something?"

"Ran, take Conan over first. I'll come over after I finish talking to your aunt Jing." Blinking, Kogoro Mouri did not speak directly, but instead sent Ran and Conan away first.

"Tell me, why are you so mysterious?" Looking at the rather amused Mouri Kogoro, who was acting so mysteriously, Hiratsuka Shizuka took out a cigarette box from her trouser pocket, lit a cigarette for herself and handed one to Mouri Kogoro.

"It was your father who called me before." After taking a puff of cigarette, Kogoro Mouri did not hesitate.

"Ah, my dad?" The expression on her face froze for a moment, and Shizuka Hiratsuka seemed to have thought of something.

"That's right. He told me to please take care of you in Tokyo. He also asked me to tell you not to be too anxious about the investigation and to take it slow." At this point, Kogoro Mouri was a little helpless.

"I think your father knows that you won't listen to him, but it's useless for me to say it."

"Ahaha, how could that be? It's like I won't listen to anyone's advice." After laughing awkwardly twice, what else could Shizuka Hiratsuka do? She couldn't just tell them to give up. I won't give up until I find out the truth.

Please, this is because they care about you. If they don’t care about you, who would care if you die?

"I don't know what your father said you were investigating, but I guess you wouldn't tell me even if I asked. Otherwise, you would have told me a long time ago after being in Tokyo for such a long time." After taking a deep puff of the cigarette, Kogoro Mouri threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it with his foot.

"You've always been trustworthy in your work, and I won't say much. But Xiaojing, if you encounter anything that requires help, remember to tell me."

"Don't worry, I won't be polite to you when the time comes. Let me make it clear first, I won't give you any commission~" Shizuka Hiratsuka said cheerfully, patting Kogoro Mouri's shoulder with a smile.

"Hmph, I don't mind your business." Disdainfully slapping Hiratsuka Shizuka's hand away, Kogoro Mouri straightened his suit and waved at Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Okay, I'll be leaving now. You should go home early too."

"Okay, let's find a place to have a meal. Don't let Xiaolan do it at this time."

"I know, long-winded!"

Looking at the departing figure of Kogoro Mouri, Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head with a smile and opened her car door.

"It's about the investigation." Shizuka Hiratsuka fastened her seat belt with some emotion and smiled faintly.

It is precisely because there are so many people around me who care about me and pay attention to me that I must work harder to ensure that they do not get hurt.

"Try harder. If it doesn't work... I'll go find the master and ask her for help even if she has to make a scene!" Shizuka Hiratsuka gritted her teeth and started the car.

. . .

"I'm back!~"

There was no extra sound, just a few petals falling, and then Huajian Yingluo's figure reappeared in the tavern.

"Is the problem solved, Mr. Hua?" Not frightened by Hua Jian Yingluo's figure, the fat man smiled and handed over a clean cup, then skillfully filled it with wine.

"It's easy. Although the Soul-Capture guy is quite powerful, he is too narrow-minded. He just guards his soul bags every day. It's boring." Huajian Yingluo took the wine glass handed over by the fat man with a smile and took a sip.

"Brother Jing, didn't she notice anything?"

"Well, I should say I noticed something, but I didn't find the existence of the soul-stealing device." Huajian Yingluo tilted her head cutely and looked at Kong Lao at the counter.

"It's strange to say, Master Kong. I clearly didn't sense any strange energy from Jing's body. Apart from a little bit of the superficial aura from martial arts training, there was nothing else. But why did she cause such serious harm to Fatty and the others? And she was able to enter your barrier without any cover, and even see things she shouldn't have seen?"

"What are you talking about?" Kong Lao, who was rarely wiping dishes and holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, slowly opened his squinting eyes, and glanced at Huajian Yingluo with his deep pupils.

"If I knew I would tell you."

"What? Master Kong, you don't know either." Huajian Yingluo shook her head slightly, but there was no disappointment on her face. Instead, she became even happier.

"Sure enough, Jing-ge is a very interesting person!~"

"I always have a feeling that it will become more and more likely for people from our side to appear around Jing-ge~"

"What's so strange about this? There are already many monsters in Tokyo, but ordinary people can't notice them. As for Brother Jing." He drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, and his mind couldn't help but recall the 'arm wrestling' when they first met. The flesh on the fat man's face trembled.

"Brother Jing is not a normal person."

"That's true, but I do like Jing-ge~ Oh, and she also said she'll bring some good wine next time, so you guys should look forward to it~"

"Oh, that's good. I heard from Brother Jing that a lot of her wines are imported from China. It's a bit difficult for us to get them!" Everyone in the tavern became excited. For people like them, wine is a good thing and no one would dislike it!

"By the way, Jing-ge also said that she hopes you can choose someone to 'arm wrestle' with her next time. She's already drunk. Don't refuse, it's embarrassing~"

After finishing her words with a wicked smile, Hua Jian Yingluo glanced at the people whose faces suddenly changed and who began to flatter and blame each other, and walked to the front of the counter and sat down without looking back.

"Is there anything else?" Kong Lao asked casually, placing a glass of wine in front of Huajian Yingluo.

"Mr. Kong, besides Brother Jing, I also met an interesting human today." His eyes were full of interest, and Huajian Yingluo's tone was so cheerful that she seemed to be flying.

"After so many years, I finally see a human being favored by death~"

PS: There will be three updates today, and more will be updated tomorrow!

Chapter 141 How are you?

After parting with Kogoro, Shizuka Hiratsuka was not in the mood to stay in the pub for a while.

After driving briskly back to her apartment, Shizuka Hiratsuka opened the door with her key.

"Meow~" Shuai Shuai, who had just closed the door, heard the noise and walked silently to the hallway. He looked up at Hiratsuka Shizuka and called out cutely.

"Oh, are you here to pick me up? You're so well-behaved." Shizuka Hiratsuka bent down to take off her shoes with a smile, picked up Shuai Shuai, turned a corner to get a can of cold beer from the refrigerator in the kitchen, and sat lazily on the sofa.

"Huh, what a troublesome day." After taking a big sip of beer, Shizuka Hiratsuka lay down on the soft sofa to relax her body.

"Let's take a comfortable bath later." After drinking the beer in a few gulps, Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched Shuai Shuai's chin and put it casually on the sofa.

After living in this house for quite some time, Shuai Shuai already knows where he should rest at night.

"I don't know if Fujiko and Koko have reunited with the others, but Rem and the others are quite reliable at their work. I'd better not disturb them and just wait for news." Glancing at her emails which showed no unread emails, Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her hair, took out her pajamas and change of clothes from the bedroom, and walked into the bathroom.

"..." Silently watching Hiratsuka Shizuka close the bathroom door, Shuai Shuai, who originally had a cute and adorable face, blinked, and his expression gradually became calm.

Just when Shizuka Hiratsuka hugged it, it felt two unusual auras from Shizuka Hiratsuka.

One of them is the same as the Huajian Yingluo in the tavern, so there is no need to worry too much, but the other one.

Ling Ran's cat pupils flickered, and he felt the aura that was not much weaker than Hua Jian Ying Luo's. His handsome expression was a little solemn.

Shizuka Hiratsuka, who originally had nothing to do with this, is also becoming more and more involved. It seems that I have to take better care of her in the future.

He shook his head in distress. Although he knew that Shizuka Hiratsuka's current body was very special, Shuai Shuai also knew that those monsters who had lived for who knows how long were not so easy to deal with.

The various moves are really hard to defend against. Although I have stimulated Shizuka Hiratsuka's talent, it takes time for Shizuka Hiratsuka to grow.

I have to work harder too.

Nodding seriously, Shuai Shuai glanced at the empty can that Shizuka Hiratsuka casually placed on the coffee table, rolled it up with his tail and threw it into the trash can.

It seems that the main issues I need to consider are not just safety.

I am just a kitten, and I have really given so much for this family.

. . .

Although there are many things on her mind, Shizuka Hiratsuka is still good at adjusting her state when working.

Not to mention that when she got up today, she received a call from Koko. After hearing her familiar, lazy, and charming voice that belonged only to Fujiko, Shizuka Hiratsuka finally put down a big stone in her heart.

After grumbling a few times over the phone about reminding Fujiko to be careful, Shizuka Hiratsuka once again expressed her gratitude to Koko and promised that if Koko came to Neon, she would take them out to have fun.

"Hehe~" She was in a good mood and her expression was relaxed. When Shizuka Hiratsuka pushed open the front door of the classroom, the students in the class could clearly feel her good mood.

"Shizuka... Mr. Hiratsuka seems to be in a good mood today. Did something good happen?~" Sonoko raised her hands and waved them in the air, almost calling out her usual name as she looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka with a smile.

"It's indeed some good news, but I won't tell you, Sonoko." Looking at the always lively Sonoko with amusement, Shizuka Hiratsuka put the textbooks and lesson plans in her hand on the podium, and her eyes wandered around the classroom to see if there were any people skipping class.

"Hmm?" The smiling expression suddenly became serious. Shizuka Hiratsuka walked down from the podium and came to a seat in the back center of the classroom.

"Yukino, are you feeling unwell?" Shizuka Hiratsuka frowned, looking at Yukino, whose face was too pale and looked very unwell, with a worried tone in her voice.

"It's nothing, Mr. Hiratsuka. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night." Forced a smile, Yukino said softly to Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"You're not in a state of not sleeping well." Shaking his head unhappily, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't care and put her hand on Yukino's forehead.

"It's not a fever, and Yukino doesn't seem to have any eye problems, but this state is definitely not right." After a moment, Hiratsuka Shizuka withdrew her palm.

"Okay, Yukino-san, I think you should go to the school infirmary and get some rest."

"No need, Hiratsuka-sensei, I..."

"Just be obedient now." Putting her hand on Yukino's head, Shizuka Hiratsuka spoke without question.

"Let me see." Seeing that Yukino had calmed down obediently, Shizuka Hiratsuka turned her head and glanced at Xiaolan.

"Let me take Yukinoshita to the infirmary." As soon as Shizuka Hiratsuka looked over, Xiaolan stood up decisively and said proactively.

It should be said that when Shizuka Hiratsuka told Yukino to go to the infirmary, Xiaolan was already prepared.

During the morning class, Xiaolan had tried to persuade Yukino, who looked unwell, to go to the infirmary, but Yukino, who was strong-willed and even a little stubborn, did not agree. Xiaolan had no choice but to wait for Shizuka Hiratsuka's arrival.

She knew that if Shizuka Hiratsuka asked, Yukino would definitely not refuse.

Ask why.

Hmm... It seems that no matter whether it's me, Shinichi, or Sonoko, since we were young, we dare not disobey what Hiratsuka Shizuka says seriously.

Aunt Jing is so scary when she's angry!! (Ｔ▽Ｔ)

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Nodding gently, Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced at Sonoko who was helping out and asked her to sit down obediently.

"Okay, everyone else, stop being distracted. We are about to start class!" Looking at Yukino slowly walking out of the classroom with the support of Xiaolan, Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked and clapped her hand on the desk to awaken everyone's attention.

Although she was very worried about Yukino's condition, Shizuka Hiratsuka chose to finish the class at hand out of her responsibility as a teacher.
