Chapter 326: Have You Seen My Blonde Hair?
"How ridiculous! Why should I bet with you?" Shimoda suppressed his inner uneasiness and sneered in anger.
"Then you just don't dare?" Ze Yu glanced at him sideways, a disdainful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Shimoda suddenly became furious.
Xiaolan, who was standing by, couldn't help but worriedly advised: "Xiaoyu, don't be like this..."
"I didn't do anything to him. He just got excited all of a sudden." Ze Yu raised his eyebrows and spread his hands. "It's like a cat whose tail was stepped on. It's like he's hiding something, afraid that others will know about it."
"Just incompetent and furious."
As soon as the words fell, Shimoda's pupils shrank, and a wave of shock rose in his heart, shocking him extremely.
What I did back then...was known by this blond kid?
No, that's impossible...
The next moment, Shimoda gritted his teeth, his face turned gloomy, and he retorted: "What do I have to hide?"
"You know it in your heart." Ze Yu said calmly: "I just said that Sugiyama teacher might have been in trouble, and you were so excited as if a relative had died, but is the relationship between you really that good?"
"Or...what are you afraid of?" Ze Yu looked at Shimoda quietly, his amber eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
"I'm curious, what is the relationship between you and Mr. Sugiyama?" Ze Yu's tone was very calm, as if he was asking, but also like...
A question from the heart.
"I..." Shimoda's expression changed.
For some reason, he began to feel a little nervous, as if he was being stared at by some terrifying existence.
In the blink of an eye, I was sweating profusely in the fields.
Seeing them arguing so fiercely, Sakai quickly stepped out to smooth things over, laughing dryly, "Really? Why are you guys arguing all of a sudden?"
"Also, Shimoda, you are an elementary school teacher after all. Don't get angry at a child for no reason. How can you say that?"
"Why would a grown man bother with a child?"
After hearing what Sakai said, Shimoda, who was originally in a dilemma, found a staircase and climbed down.
He relaxed, then curled his lips and said with contempt: "Yes, why should I be angry with a brat who talks too much?"
"Heh... did you see my golden hair?" Ze Yu's eyes turned a little cold. He raised his index finger, pointed at his hair, and said calmly, "Do you have any impression?"
"Blonde hair..." Shimoda was stunned for a moment, frowned, and thought carefully.
Come to think of it, this kid does look a little familiar.
When did he meet the other person?
Or a similar image...
and many more!
Shimoda's eyes widened in horror.
He remembered!
But, how could it be...
Sakai, who was standing on the other side, was not stupid either. Like Shimoda, he quickly remembered that person.
"This is... the vice-president who has already resigned?" Sakai stroked his chin thoughtfully: "Come to think of it, I don't seem to know his name yet."
"Little boy, are you a relative of the vice-principal back then? Both the hair color and temperament look alike." Sakai asked with some surprise.
Before Ze Yu could answer, he heard Sakai muttering to himself: "Come to think of it, the year the vice-president resigned was three years ago. At that time..."
"Shut up and stop talking!" Shimoda's pupils trembled and he suddenly yelled.
"Why are you suddenly so excited?" Sakai was startled and turned around, looking at the other person with a puzzled expression.
Teacher Nakamura asked with some concern: "Teacher Shimoda, did you not get enough rest?" Shimoda's performance tonight was really too abnormal. He had been startled since the beginning.
Like a madman.
Conan frowned, looked at Shimoda with a thoughtful look, and thought to himself.
There's something wrong with this guy.
Teacher Yonehara didn't say anything, but her eyes flashed and she looked at Ze Yu with surprise.
Is this person the vice-principal’s younger brother?
Anyway, it can't be a son.
Does he also know what happened back then?
Teacher Yonehara fell into deep thought.
at the same time.
"...I'm fine." Shimoda reacted and realized that his reaction was too exaggerated, so he pretended to be weak and covered his head.
"Sorry, I have a headache and I'm not feeling well."
Sakai finally felt relieved and said with concern: "Is that so? Then you should go and rest quickly."
"I will." Shimoda nodded.
The reporter sitting next to him held a cigarette between his fingers and slowly exhaled a wisp of white smoke from his mouth.
His eyes were somewhat melancholy, and it was unknown what he was thinking. He just whispered to himself: "Three years ago..."
Huiyuan Ai walked up to the reporter, raised her little face, and looked at him curiously: "Uncle, can you tell me what happened three years ago?"
Just now, Sawawa was about to tell Haibara Ai the story of three years ago, but because of Sonoko, Sawawa suddenly left before he could finish his words.
Haibara Ai was very curious about this.
Conan was attracted by their conversation and walked over to listen attentively.
He was also waiting for the reporter's answer.
"Wow, what a curious child." The reporter turned his head in surprise and glanced at Haibara Ai.
With a creepy smile, he posed a riddle: "Regarding this matter, it would be more convenient for you to ask the group of teachers next to you."
"…Is that so? I understand." Haibara Ai nodded and looked at the teachers.
But she did not take action.
Unable to get an answer from the reporter, Conan, who was full of curiosity, scratched his head anxiously and complained with a headache: "What can't be said about this?"
Looking at the reporter's appearance, he was obviously a little shy when talking about the incident three years ago. He seemed not to want to talk about it, and then passed the buck to the teachers.
However, those teachers didn't seem to like talking about that matter and were also somewhat taboo about it. How should Conan ask?
Headache.
On the other side, Mr. Yonehara looked at Sakai and the others and asked, "Where were you two men when Sonoko and I were attacked?"
Shimoda rolled his eyes and said perfunctorily, "I was taking a shower at the time."
Sakai touched his head and smiled: "I stayed in the room alone, listening to music with headphones."
The attitudes of these two guys when they answered seemed a bit perfunctory, as if they didn't care at all about the attack on Teacher Yonehara and the others.
No sympathy at all.
