Chapter 269 Envelope
"By the way, Conan." Ze Yu looked over and said, "The doctor seems to have something to talk to you about. Come home with us after school."

"Sure." Conan agreed immediately and nodded: "But I need to ask Xiaolan for leave."

Conan doesn't dare to go home now, for fear that Xiaolan will make fun of him again. Since Xiaoyu invited him, he certainly can't miss this opportunity.

Xiaolan seems a little angry. It’s better to avoid her and not to bring bad luck to her.

.........

After school.

In Dr. Agasa's home, the three little friends entered the house one after another and sat on the sofa in the living room. Their movements were quite skillful, as if this was their home.

Of course, for Sawaha and Haibara Ai now, this is indeed their home.

As for Conan, he came here to play all day when he was a child, so he is more familiar with this place than the other two friends, so needless to say.

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoai, Conan, you're back. I'll go get you some drinks." Dr. Agasa shook his beard and smiled warmly.

"Thank you, Doctor." Haibara Ai nodded slightly.

Dr. Agasa took out orange juice from the refrigerator, poured it into three cups, then turned and left.

When he came back again, he was holding a large box in his hands and put it on the table.

"What is this?" Ze Yu asked curiously.

"Some envelopes, some from me and some from Shin... Conan." Dr. Agasa said, "These envelopes are piling up, please help me sort them out."

He originally wanted to say 'Shinichi', but realized that Arisawa was present, so in order to keep it secret, he changed it to 'Conan'.

After all, Dr. Agasa didn't know Ze Yu's identity and thought he was just an ordinary child.

"Doctor, you don't have to hide it." Conan took a sip of orange juice and said directly: "Because Xiaoyu already knows my identity."

"Huh?" Dr. Agasa widened his eyes and asked in astonishment, "Is it true?"

"Of course it's true." Ze Yu blinked innocently and smiled sweetly: "Conan is Kudo Shinichi."

"So, Xiaoyu, you already knew it." Dr. Agasa's eyes were a little complicated, and then he looked at Conan, his beard twitched, and he said seriously: "Ko... Shinichi, what did I tell you before?"

"Don't tell others about your affairs. You'll get into trouble. As a result, you didn't listen to me at all!"

"It's none of my business." Conan smiled embarrassedly and explained, "I didn't tell him on my own initiative. Xiaoyu guessed it herself."

"Is that so?" After hearing Conan's explanation, Dr. Agasa suddenly realized and nodded, his serious expression softened: "Xiaoyu is so smart, it's normal for her to guess your identity."

After knowing the whole story, he no longer blamed Conan, but just sighed that Xiaoyu was such an amazing kid.

In Dr. Agasa's opinion, Xiaoyu is a very smart child and most of the time, he is easy to take care of.

But sometimes, he can be a headache, like now, Dr. Agasa is having a headache.

"Xiao Yu, I hope you can keep this matter a secret and not mention it to anyone else, okay?" Dr. Agasa said solemnly.

"Yeah." Ze Yu smiled slightly and agreed.

Huihara Ai drank her orange juice quietly, without interrupting, just as a bystander. Then, her orange juice was snatched away by Ze Yu, who drank it all in one breath.

Haibara Ai:"……"

She remained silent for a while with an expressionless face, then retaliated by taking the half-drunk orange juice of Ze Yu and drinking it in one gulp.

"cough……"

Because she drank too fast, Haibara Ai choked and looked a little uncomfortable.

"Why are you so careless?" Ze Yu said with some heartache, raised his finger and wiped the orange juice that stained her mouth.

"...I'm fine." Haibara Ai's face turned slightly red and she tried to speak in a calm tone.

Seeing this, Dr. Agasa looked at them helplessly and instantly knew what they were thinking.

Although the doctor has never been in love, even if he has never eaten pork, has he never seen a pig run?
This was also the situation when Xiaolan and Shinichi were young, and Dr. Agasa was already used to it.

However, the situation now is slightly different from what it was then.

Xiaolan and Shinichi are of the same age and childhood sweethearts, so they are a perfect match. However, Haibara Ai is an adult, while Sawaha is just a child.

Something seems wrong no matter how you look at it...

Could it be that Ai has fallen in love?
Dr. Agasa had a headache, so he simply ignored them, pretended he didn't see them, and turned away.

He walked over to the workbench next to him, put on his red goggles, picked up the welding tool, and began to work on his gadget.

Ze Yu looked at Dr. Agasa and smiled, "Conan, look, Dr. Agasa now looks like a red-eyed fruit fly."

He was not wrong. Dr. Agasa was a bald middle-aged man with a round face. After putting on red goggles, he really looked like a red-eyed fruit fly.

"It does look a bit like that, but let's not talk about it, okay?" Conan couldn't help but laugh, and then said seriously, "It's quite rude."

After saying that, Conan collected the three empty cups and put them in the kitchen sink. Then he walked back, picked up the box on the table, and poured all the envelopes in the box onto the table.

Then he sat on the sofa and began to sort out the numerous envelopes, picking up a stack of envelopes at random.

He took a look and couldn't help but complain: "All of them are 'Kudo Yusaku's personal letter'? They are all letters to my dad? Aren't there any letters to me?"

"That's normal." Ze Yu said as a matter of course: "Your father is a very famous detective novelist, at least much more famous than you."

"You are only famous in the Kanto region of the island country, but Kudo Yusaku is a world-famous figure with fans all over the world. There is no comparison between you and him."

"Hey, don't say that. Can't you be more tactful?" Conan rolled his eyes and chuckled, "Besides, I have a lot of fans in foreign countries."

Ze Yu asked back, "How many are there? Are there as many students as in our class?"

"..." Conan was choked, but still said stubbornly: "Sooner or later, I will be as famous as my father, and even surpass him and become a world-class detective!"

"Young man, dreams can hold anything." Ze Yu picked up an envelope, glanced at it, and said perfunctorily, "As long as you are happy."

"Really? Don't underestimate me. I'm a famous detective!" Conan said gritting his teeth.
