Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

Ryoichi Takahashi, who was knocked unconscious by Shizuka Hiratsuka, was tied up tightly with a rope that Katsu Ota found in the tool room.

Although there were many doubts in their minds, after seeing this scene, everyone basically concluded that it was Takahashi Ryoichi who killed Chikako Ikeda.

And now that things have come to this point, Ayako and the others have more or less guessed what is going on.

It was not until the next morning that the police drove over and repaired the suspension bridge that Shizuka Hiratsuka and her group yawned and left the mountain villa, which did not leave a good impression at all.

"Have a good sleep when you go back and don't think about those trivial things." After sending Xiaolan and Conan back home, Shizuka Hiratsuka comforted them.

"I know, Aunt Jing." Xiaolan nodded obediently. To be honest, she felt a little shy when she saw the concerned look in Hiratsuka Jing's eyes.

I learned karate because I admired Shizuka Hiratsuka, and since I was a child, I have always wanted to be a courageous person like Shizuka Hiratsuka.

But her performance in the villa was really bad. Although Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't say anything, Xiaolan herself felt ashamed.

Even though she repeatedly modestly says that her karate level is average, Xiaolan is still clear about her own strength.

A guy who had no special training and just dressed up to chop people with an axe actually scared himself like that and kept Shizuka Hiratsuka busy all day just to protect his safety.

I am really terrible.

"Sister Xiaolan, what's wrong with you? Aren't you going up?" Conan pulled Xiaolan's hand strangely and looked at Xiaolan beside him in confusion.

After saying goodbye to Shizuka Hiratsuka, Xiaolan had been standing here in a daze for a while.

"Conan, I have to continue practicing karate to become stronger!" Xiaolan said with full momentum, holding her own hands.

"Uh, oh, then Sister Xiaolan needs to work harder!" The cold sweat on his face slowly condensed, and Conan smiled guiltily.

In his opinion, Xiaolan's strength is already sufficient, if she becomes stronger.

Shaking off the images of himself being the target of attack that flashed through his mind, Conan continued to act cute and followed Xiaolan upstairs.

However, the doubts in his heart did not decrease much.

"I don't believe Aunt Jing could have made a mistake. That means she did notice someone running into the forest and chased after them, but because she was worried about other things, she didn't say anything after returning." Conan pushed his glasses and thought slowly.

"I remember, before I became a child, Aunt Jing asked me to investigate a case... Could it be related to that?"

. . .

"Okay, I've prepared the hot water, Yukino, you can go in and take a shower."

Patting her hands which were a little wet, Shizuka Hiratsuka walked slowly to the living room and sat on the sofa.

"Sister Jing, don't you want to wash first?"

"I'll wait a moment. I have something else to do. Yukino, go take a nice bath first. You've been through enough these past two days."

That's right, after returning from the villa, Shizuka Hiratsuka was a little worried that Yukino might be scared living alone because of her experience in the villa. After a brief inquiry, she decided to let Yukino stay in her house tonight.

Anyway, Fujiko is still traveling and the guest room is empty.

Although she felt a little regretful, Yukino didn't say much. She picked up her clothes and went into the bathroom obediently.

If you think about it another way, wouldn't it be that Shizuka Hiratsuka would take a bath in the water she had used to bathe herself?

Well, when I think about it this way, I feel a little different in my heart.

Not knowing what Yukino was thinking in her little head in the bathroom, Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched the chin of Shuai Shuai who was lying on her legs, lit a cigarette and picked up her cell phone.

After pondering for a moment, Shizuka Hiratsuka gritted her teeth and dialed a number she was familiar with.

"Tsk, still no one answers? Really, it's always like this. I don't know what the point of her having a cell phone is!" Listening to the busy tone coming from the phone, Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head angrily.

"Huh?" Just as Shizuka Hiratsuka was about to throw the phone aside, it suddenly rang.

Her hands trembled with fear, and after a cough, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked back at the caller ID.

"What is it, Fujiko, why are you contacting me at this time?"

"Oh! It's so hurtful. I called to care about you, but Jing baby spoke to me so impatiently!" A tearful voice came from the phone, and Fujiko expressed her attitude at the first time.

You've been so mean to me, I'm really upset. You can handle it yourself. If you don't comfort me, I'll cry in front of you! If you're so cruel, make me cry!

"Ah, I'm a little tired. I've been busy all day and didn't get a good rest yesterday." Shizuka Hiratsuka flicked the cigarette in her hand on the ashtray on the coffee table. Of course, she would not choose to step on a landmine.

Whether it was Fujiko, Haruno, or even when she was with Yukiko, Shizuka Hiratsuka was very clear that it was best not to make jokes when they spoke in such a tone, otherwise she would be the one who would suffer in the end.

"Really? Humph, you've passed the test with this excuse~"

"Yes, yes, thank you for your magnanimity, Lord Fujiko." Shaking her head with a smile, Shizuka Hiratsuka leaned comfortably on the sofa, her tone a little lazy.

"How was your time in Chiba?"

"It was fun, but I also encountered a troublesome thing." Looking at the room which had more things than yesterday, Fujiko narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Jing baby, if I want to visit a friend's elders, should I take more things or just a few things they like?"

"Eh? Do you have any relatives in Chiba?" Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked with some curiosity. This was the first time she heard of this.

"It doesn't matter. This is the first time I do something like this. Jing, baby, please help me make a decision!" Without any hesitation, Fujiko held the phone and started to act coquettishly to Shizuka Hiratsuka on the other end of the line.

"There's nothing to worry about. You're visiting someone, so whether you take a lot or a little is just a token of your appreciation. It doesn't matter."

"Is that so? Then, Xiaojing, what do you think your parents would like?" Fujiko asked nonchalantly, nodding slightly.

"They are much more casual, and they are very enthusiastic towards everyone who comes to visit. Of course, my mom is always trying to find out if there is a suitable blind date for me, and my dad just wants to drink more since there are guests at home." Shrugging helplessly, Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled when she thought of her parents.

"I see, I get it. As expected of Jing, you're always able to help me~ Hmm (づ￣3￣)づ╭?～"

"Okay, I'm glad I can help you. I won't talk to you anymore. I also need to clean up and go to bed. I have to go to work tomorrow."

After a few brief words, Shizuka Hiratsuka hung up the phone.

Although she was somewhat curious about the parents of Fujiko's friend, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't have the habit of asking too many questions.

"Dingling bell~"

"Eh? Are there so many calls today?" Shizuka Hiratsuka picked up her cell phone curiously, and after seeing the caller ID, her eyes became more subtle.

"Hey, Sister Yukiko, why are you calling me at this time?"

"Xiao Jing, you shouldn't be asleep yet~"

"Not yet, but it will be soon." Sitting back on the sofa, Shizuka Hiratsuka spoke lazily with her legs crossed.

"So, what's the reason this time? Did you quarrel with Yusaku-nii again? I've already told you that Yusaku-nii is an honest person..."

"No, how could we possibly quarrel!~"

"Huh." Shizuka Hiratsuka snorted disdainfully, treating Yukiko's words as if she hadn't woken up yet.

"I have other issues this time~" Yukiko didn't make any excuses on this matter. Although her tone was still relaxed, her eyes were slightly gloomy.

"Xiao Jing, do you know what Xiao Xin has been doing recently?"

Chapter 201 Let’s talk about it when we get back

"Shinichi?"

Sitting up slightly, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt a little strange.

Although this situation has happened before, he left his biological son in Neon, and then the two of them went to the Lighthouse Country to live their sweet life together. If there was any news he wanted to know, he would call me and find out the latest news about his son through me.

But this time it was different. Shizuka Hiratsuka could hear the doubt in Yukiko's words. Yukiko would not make any jokes about Kudo Shinichi.

So, Yukiko really doesn't know where Shinichi is going.

Scratching her hair, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt a little angry.

When Shinichi asked me to help him ask for leave, I asked Shinichi to say hello to Yukiko or Kudo Yusaku.

What is this? Promising everything on the surface, but pretending nothing happened behind the scenes?

"Didn't that kid Shinichi contact you?" Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed slightly, feeling a little helpless.

"Sister Yukiko, that Shinichi guy said he encountered a difficult case and he went to investigate secretly somewhere. I did talk to him on the phone before, but I didn't expect that he didn't tell you about it."

"Is there a difficult case?" After hearing Shizuka Hiratsuka's explanation, Yukiko nodded subconsciously.

If he came across a case that particularly interested him, given his son's personality, he might go ahead and investigate regardless of the consequences.

But even this was too much. What kind of case would require hiding it from Yusaku and me, even requiring me to drop out of school?!

"I contacted Shin-chan today, but he didn't answer my call. I was thinking of calling Ran, but it was a little too late, so I contacted you." Her tone was a little apologetic. Although she knew that Shizuka Hiratsuka usually didn't go to bed too early, Yukiko also understood that it was not convenient to call at this time.

"It's okay, Sister Yukiko, you are worried too, but Shinichi is really going too far. He clearly promised me that he would contact you, but in the end he didn't say a word." Gently scratching the handsome little head, Shizuka Hiratsuka said with a smile.

"When I contact him tomorrow, I will definitely teach him a lesson."

"That's right, Shin-chan really went too far. He doesn't care about us elders at all." Yukiko nodded in agreement and complained in dissatisfaction as she stood on the balcony of her living room.

"Okay, then I don't have anything else to do. I won't disturb you from resting, Xiaojing~"

"It's okay, I'll go clean up and go to bed. Bye, Sister Yukiko~"

"Okay, bye~" Yukiko hung up the phone with one hand, and standing at the edge of the window, she sighed softly, turned around and looked at Kudo Yusaku sitting on the sofa, and shook her head helplessly.

"You heard it. Xiaojing said so."

"Has Shin-chan encountered a difficult case?" Kudo Yusaku gently pushed his glasses open, sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, and stroked his mustache thoughtfully.

"Although this reason makes sense, I don't think it's that simple. No matter how difficult the case is, Shin-chan has been out of school for too long. If it hasn't been solved yet, it means there's something seriously wrong with the case."

"Is this a case that can trap Shin-chan? That shouldn't be an ordinary incident. Will Shin-chan encounter any danger?" His expression was a little anxious. He hadn't contacted Shin-chan for a long time. Who would have thought that when he finally remembered him, this would be the result.

"Don't be anxious." Raising his hand, Kudo Yusaku comforted Yukiko while looking at the clock in his living room.

"Dr. Agasa should be awake at this hour, so why not give him a call and ask?"

"Although Shin-chan grew up under Jing's watch, Jing is a woman after all. There are many things Shin-chan cannot talk about with Jing after he grows up. In this regard, perhaps Dr. Agasa knows better."

"You're right, our two families live next door to each other." Nodding in agreement, Yukiko quickly found Dr. Agasa's cell phone number and called without saying a word.

"Hello, Dr. Agasa, I'm Yukiko."

"I want to ask, do you know where Xiaoxin went?"

. . .

"Thank you, Dr. Agasa, we will get back as soon as possible." Kudo Yusaku nodded slightly and said seriously into the phone.

"You're welcome. I can't be of much help."

"No, you've already helped Shinichi a lot. That's all. I'm going to hang up now."

"Well, okay, Yusaku, you and Yukiko don't worry, at least Shinichi is safe now."

"Yeah, I know, thank you!" After slowly hanging up the phone, even the usually calm Kudo Yusaku sighed slowly.

"Honey, Shin-chan." Sitting next to Kudo Yusaku, after talking a few words on the phone, Yukiko handed over the phone and watched Kudo Yusaku and Dr. Agasa communicate with eager eyes.

"Don't worry, didn't you hear what Dr. Agasa said? Shin-chan is living in Xiaolan's house now and is very safe." Reaching out and holding Yukiko in his arms, Kudo Yusaku comforted his wife whose eyes were already red.

"I shouldn't have left Shin-chan alone in Neon like this. Otherwise, Shin-chan wouldn't have encountered such a dangerous thing." Yukiko closed her eyes in pain, leaning on Kudo Yusaku's shoulder, her voice choked.

"Don't say that. Didn't Dr. Agasa say that Shin-chan encountered this incident when he was playing outside? We couldn't stop it even if we were at home." He shook his head slightly. Although he was very nervous when he heard Dr. Agasa's explanation, Kudo Yusaku has now gradually calmed down.

"Xiao Xin is not an ignorant child. The escape route he found for himself is safe enough at this stage. Don't worry. After we deal with some things here, we will go back and take a good look at what to do."

"What else do we need to deal with? Let's go back immediately!" Yukiko raised her head in dissatisfaction and said to Kudo Yusaku.

"No, some things should be done here." Shaking his head slowly, Kudo Yusaku skillfully calmed Yukiko's excited emotions.

"At least, we should find out a little bit about the organization that gave Shin-chan the poison."

"You're right." With Kudo Yusaku's gentle persuasion, Yukiko's mood calmed down a lot.

"Should I tell Xiaojing about this?" Yukiko said uncertainly, rolling her eyes.

"After all, Xiaojing's family is that one. If Xiaojing knew about it, she would be able to help out a little."

"I used to be a little worried and didn't tell Xiaoxin and the others about Xiaojing's family affairs, but now it's different."

"This... is not impossible, but there's no rush. Let's wait until we meet in Japan." Looking at his wife's expectant eyes, Kudo Yusaku couldn't say no.

"Well, I listen to you."
