Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

"What's the problem? I actually think it's funny to ask me to look after Jing-ge. Although I haven't had a true life-or-death battle with Jing-ge, I feel that with Jing-ge's strange attack effects, ordinary monsters would not be Jing-ge's opponent."

"That being said, we are very confident in Jing Ge in a head-on battle. After all, we are all defeated by him. But aren't Hua Ye and Kong Lao worried that other monsters will use their strange abilities to affect Jing Ge? After all, we haven't tried it before, so we don't know how resistant Jing Ge is to that kind of abnormal state."

"I feel it should be not bad. After all, he was able to intuitively see through the barrier of our tavern, and treated Hua Ye's deliberate temptation as a cute little child. Even if Brother Jing doesn't know how to use his ability, this instinct is very scary." The fat man finished eating the bread in a few bites and said casually.

"...Fatty, when did you become Jing's die-hard fan?"

"I can't be considered a die-hard fan, I just value and admire you a little." The fat man was about to throw away the bread bag when he suddenly thought of something. His left hand naturally drew an arc in the air and stuffed the bag into his trouser pocket.

"After all, I've only met one human woman like Jing who has a bold personality, strong skills, and a passionate and sincere heart that moved us all. If it weren't for this, Hua Ye wouldn't be so keen on Jing, right?"

"That's true, Brother Jing is indeed not an ordinary person." The person on the other end of the phone also sighed. It has to be said that Shizuka Hiratsuka's status in the tavern is getting higher and higher.

"Also, why did you call me? Don't you have a sound transmission talisman? Don't you know I almost fell out of the tree when the phone rang just now? I'm following you, can't you be careful?"

"You blame me for not muting your phone when you're following me? Besides, the phone is so convenient. Using a sound transmission talisman takes all the effort to find your location. What era is this? Can't you keep up with the latest trends?"

"Tsk, whatever. There's nothing wrong here anyway. Someone just died yesterday, and Sister Jing seemed to be slightly implicated because of her friend... huh?" The fat man changed his posture and leaned against the tree trunk, staring with wide eyes at the police coming in and out of the mansion in the distance, but suddenly found that a different breath appeared in his perception.

"what happened?"

"God, I seem to have encountered something interesting here~"

Chapter 176 I have a good idea!

"So, Officer Megure and the others are going to bring all the suspects here and question them one by one, right?"

After briefly communicating with Inspector Megure about what he knew, perhaps because he felt that he still had some things he wanted to ask but was not used to talking to Shizuka Hiratsuka, Inspector Megure rudely woke Kogoro Mouri from his sleep.

Shizuka Hiratsuka had no objection to this. After all, she was really not interested in cases.

After seeing that she was not needed anywhere for the time being, Shizuka Hiratsuka walked out of the piano room and went to the door to smoke a cigarette.

In just the time it took to smoke a cigarette, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was sitting on the steps, saw Fujiko walking towards her with a bag in her hand and a smile on her face.

"Yes." Taking the bag from Fujiko's hand, Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced at Xiaolan and the others who had not yet gotten up in the room, and had no intention of waking them up.

"Then eat a little first, and save the rest for them." You sat down next to Hiratsuka Shizuka with a smile. Fujiko put her knees together, feeling inexplicably good.

"Okay." Shizuka Hiratsuka opened the large plastic bag in her hand, glanced at the food samples, chose a meat bento that looked pretty good and a rice ball, and finally took a bottle of green tea.

"Oh, not bad, this bento and rice balls are still warm." Looking at the still warm bento in her hand with some surprise, Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled and opened her chopsticks.

"I specially asked the convenience store staff to heat it up for me. Although it definitely doesn't taste as good as it does at mealtime, it's all I have to make do with at this time." Fujiko casually took a rice ball from the bag, slowly tore open the package, and took a small bite.

"The police will be questioning us soon. Do we have to wait here?" Looking at the policemen walking past the door one after another and the relevant personnel called back by the police, Shizuka Hiratsuka and Fujiko moved to the grass next to the mansion door. After spreading the thick plastic sheet that was not used last night on the grass, the two of them started eating as if they were having a picnic.

"I asked, and Officer Megure said it wasn't necessary. We just came here to play. After we arrived at the mansion, we were with Xiaolan and the others. We had nothing to do with the dead person." Shizuka Hiratsuka chuckled and shrugged slightly.

"Is that so? So what are we going to do later? Or just stay here with them?" Fujiko stopped eating after eating just one rice ball. After wiping her hands with a tissue, she took the cup of green tea that Shizuka Hiratsuka had drunk and opened it, sipping it in small sips.

"Here... it seems there is nothing for us to do, but the whole village is actually just like this. After a quick tour yesterday, there is no place I want to go." Shizuka Hiratsuka tapped her head with the end of her chopsticks and was a little dazed for a moment.

"Fujiko, what do you want to do?"

"My words? Actually, I am still somewhat interested in the investigation of this kind of case. After all, I am still a little curious about how many people the murderer will kill in the end." Fujiko tilted her head slightly and said something that was not ordinary in the most ordinary tone.

"Really? Then stay here for a while, otherwise we have nothing to do, right?" He nodded in understanding. The sharp-eyed Shizuka Hiratsuka saw Xiaolan standing at the door looking around, so she waved and shouted.

"Xiaolan, we are here, come and have something to eat first~"

. . .

"Fatty, what did you see?" There was nothing to do today, and the charlatan who had rested early in his shop was chatting with the fat man out of boredom.

"I saw the female student that Brother Jing brought to our tavern."

"A female student? What's there to be curious about? Didn't Mr. Hua ask around? That student usually likes to stick together with Brother Jing." The high school girl with long black hair, who looked cold and a thin figure, was thought of in his mind, and the charlatan curled his lips slightly.

It was because of her that Hua Ye forced him to memorize a whole book of Feng Shui anecdotes.

"It's not the little girl you tricked by pretending to be a ghost, it's another one." The fat man blinked and took a moment to realize who the charlatan was talking about.

"It's the girl with purple hair who was so scared after entering our tavern but still tried to act tough."

"Oh, you mean the girl who carries a knife and has a faint spiritual aura on her body." Over the years, there were only three people who accidentally entered the tavern. After hearing the fat man's description, the charlatan suddenly remembered the existence of Busujima Saeko.

"How did you meet her? Didn't Mr. Hua say that the girl had completed her mission in the Tokyo area and returned to their human base?"

"Who knows? You all know how dishonest those guys in Tokyo have been recently. Not to mention Tokyo, the whole Neon seems to be ready to make some moves. Otherwise, what are we busy with every day?" The fat man said mockingly, pinching his nose with his little finger.

"That's true. Even if those people don't have all the information we can get, they can still find out some of it. It's not surprising that they send people to carry out the mission." Thinking of the patrol mission he had to stay up late tonight, the charlatan felt a headache.

You said it's been so many years, couldn't those guys just be behaving themselves? Why did they suddenly make such a fuss, making everyone complain?

"So, why is that girl so fun?"

"She shouldn't be here for Brother Jing, otherwise I wouldn't have felt her aura just now during the past two days following Brother Jing. What's more important is." Suppressing his aura to the minimum, the fat man twisted his neck and looked in the direction where Busujima Saeko was heading.

"She looks like she's being chased by some monster and is running away with her teeth gritted."

"You really have a bad taste. Don't you want to help?"

"What?"

"Although you hid your aura, it would not be good if Jing Ge found out that you stood by and did nothing to help."

"Tsk, that's right. I was so busy watching the fun that I forgot about this." Scratching his head, the fat man stood up from the tree with a subtle expression.

"But how can I help? If I do, that girl will definitely recognize me. Last time, we didn't say anything to each other, but this time we meet again. Although we always abide by the law, we don't want to run into this kind of official. It's very troublesome."

"That's your problem. You can't just sit there and do nothing. I'm sure Jing-ge will get involved with us in the future. I advise you to be more careful in what you do."

"...So troubles always happen to me?" The fat man gritted his teeth in annoyance and blinked his eyes continuously, feeling conflicted inside.

"Hey, idiot, I've got a good idea!"

Chapter 177: The ignorant guy

"Isn't that right? I told you, just leave this kind of thing to Kogoro-san. He should have been on guard duty but he fell asleep instead. Wouldn't it be unfair to yourself if you don't give him a try?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka said jokingly, patting Xiaolan's shoulder with a smile.

Although she has a good relationship with Maori Kogoro, if she were to say who Hiratsuka Shizuka leans towards more, it would definitely be Ran, who she watched grow up.

"Thank you so much, Aunt Jing. If you hadn't come, I don't know how busy I would be." Xiaolan nodded obediently and said gratefully.

If it weren't for Shizuka Hiratsuka, Xiaolan could imagine how difficult her life would have been these past two days.

Not only does he have to live miserably at the crime scene, but he also has to prepare food for the three of them, help Kogoro Mouri run errands, and always keep an eye on Conan, who likes to run around once he arrives at the crime scene.

Thinking about it now, Xiaolan really feels that her life is too tiring.

She is obviously an ordinary high school girl, why is she always forced to experience some terrible murders!

I used to follow Shinichi, but now I follow my dad.

Really, I just want to go to school well and practice karate well!

"What are you talking about? You're still so polite to me." Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled and put his hand on Xiaolan's head, rubbing it without any hesitation.

"I would also like to thank Miss Fujiko, thank you for your care!" Without dodging Hiratsuka Shizuka's touch, Xiaolan nodded obediently to Fujiko again.

"It's okay, I'm Xiaojing's good friend, and I'm also your elder~" Fujiko chuckled and shook her head. Her attitude towards Xiaolan was also very nice.

After excluding the information previously collected from the intelligence, and confirming that Xiaolan posed absolutely no threat to her, Fujiko couldn't help but say that this child was exactly the same as the description of Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Fujiko, who has been hanging out in the dark side of the world for a long time, has never thought that there are kind children in the world who can make her feel like an angel.

Well, although Fujiko has never seen an angel.

As for Hiratsuka Shizuka?

Hehehe, that's the existence that can turn Fujiko into a greedy devil, it has nothing to do with an angel~

"Well, don't be polite with this guy. It's not easy for you, Xiaolan, to take care of the family every day. There's no need to spoil your father in everything." After retracting her hand, Shizuka Hiratsuka subconsciously touched the cigarette in her pocket, but still didn't take it out.

"And you, little Conan, you should be obedient when you are at home. Don't let your sister Xiaolan worry too much, okay?"

"I know, Aunt Jing!" Conan nodded obediently, holding the lunch box in his hands and eating it bite by bite, saying that the food you bought is delicious and whatever you say is what it is.

"Then let's sit here for a while and wait..." She nodded with a smile. Apart from her love for imitating Shinichi's reasoning and the habit of running around the crime scene, Shizuka Hiratsuka was still very satisfied with Conan.

At his age when he is very naughty, his usual obedient behavior is already very good.

At least Shizuka Hiratsuka said that when she was Conan's age, she was extremely naughty.

Looking at Fujiko who was sitting next to her, Shizuka Hiratsuka was about to say something when she suddenly frowned and looked up towards the distant mountains and forests.

"What's wrong, Xiaojing?" Fujiko, whose attention had always been on Shizuka Hiratsuka, looked away and leaned close to Shizuka Hiratsuka and asked in a low voice.

"Nothing, I just encountered something interesting." Shaking her head slightly, Shizuka Hiratsuka licked her lips in Fujiko's somewhat surprised eyes.

"Fujiko, I'm going to be out for a bit. Ran and the others will be free of you helping take care of them for a while."

"Well... well, have some fun." Thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning.

Having ruled out the possibility that Shizuka Hiratsuka had discovered something dangerous, Fujiko, who could recite Shizuka Hiratsuka's life information by heart, reacted immediately after seeing the joyful and belligerent excitement in Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes.

"Have you got your eye on someone, Shizuka? Is it because my fighting skills aren't high enough that I can't sense that so-called provocative aura between warriors?" He explained with a smile to Hiratsuka Shizuka and Ran, then excitedly ran towards the forest. Fujiko opened the unfinished green tea in her hand and took a sip.

'It's not bad to have such an excited and belligerent baby Shizuka~' Fujiko felt her legs go weak as she imagined herself lying under Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was looking at her with such fanatical eyes as if she were looking at her prey.

As for why I stopped worrying after I found out that Shizuka Hiratsuka left because she discovered her opponent.

Don't be ridiculous, Fujiko looked at all the names of the opponents defeated by Shizuka Hiratsuka, the battle process and battle pictures, which piled up almost half a meter high.

Fujiko didn't dare to say anything else, but based on her own eyesight, she didn't believe that there was anyone in this world who could defeat Hiratsuka Shizuka in a fight.

Even Lupin and his group had been taught a lesson by Shizuka Hiratsuka. Even Goemon, who was an expert in swordsmanship, was hit by the angry Shizuka Hiratsuka with a mailbox.

He's just a martial artist who doesn't know his place. Let Shizuka Hiratsuka have some fun.

. . .

"Huff~Huff~" The somewhat suppressed and rapid breathing continued to sound in the woods.

Holding an unsheathed samurai sword in her right hand and covering her right rib with her left hand, Busujima Saeko moved quickly in the mountains.

Her charming and pretty face was full of embarrassment, and her clothes were a little torn, but Busujima Saeko didn't care about these things at the moment.

It was clearly just a simple reconnaissance mission, but Busujima Saeko herself did not expect to encounter a monster of this level on such a remote island.

As soon as the fight ended, Busujima Saeko threw away the talisman she had used to buy time, and then spared no effort to speed up. While running, she informed her superiors of the situation as quickly as possible.

Although she received the news that the support had been dispatched, Busujima Saeko really could not guarantee whether she could survive the hands of that monster.

She didn't even dare to run into the village, and could only rely on the monster's interest in her to run into the mountains to delay time.

just.

"Bang!" The figure jumped to the right in an instant, and Busujima Saeko barely avoided a huge rock that broke several tree trunks and was rapidly attacking from behind.

"Whoosh!" Busujima Saeko's rapid state was interrupted. Unable to increase her speed to the maximum for a moment, she clenched her teeth. After her body spun violently, the long sword in her hand flashed and she actually cut out an invisible sword energy.

just.

Looking at the monster that took her attack with its body with a playful smile on its face, Busujima Saeko's expression couldn't get any uglier.

Chapter 178 I still have something interesting to watch

"Tsk, why are you so fast?"

The fat figure kept shuttling back and forth quickly on the tree trunks. For a fat man who was not good at hiding himself and preferred to fight head-on, it was definitely not easy to keep hidden while tracking.

The fat man didn't want to expose his whereabouts next to Busujima Saeko, but he couldn't bear to see Busujima Saeko in danger. He had no choice but to think of a good idea when the emergency came.

If it is not convenient for me to do it myself, then I will let Brother Jing do it. Anyway, considering the strength of the monster below, if Brother Jing uses the strength he used in the "arm wrestling" with me and others in the tavern, he can easily deal with it.

What's more, the fat man could see clearly that the monster below who was enjoying the thrill of chasing and had not yet transformed into his original form was also a physical cultivation monster similar to himself.

This is even more appropriate!

Originally, Hua Ye and the others were worried that Brother Jing would encounter a monster that preferred to use sorcery. Monsters like this that looked very reckless and liked to fight head-on seemed to be tailor-made for Brother Jing!

So the fat man, feeling that everything was ready, took the initiative to mobilize his momentum, attracted the attention of Hiratsuka Shizuka not far away, gave her a general direction, and then quietly followed the fleeing Busujima Saeko.
