Chapter 534 Stop
However, Hiroki has now already integrated into the group, become a very good friend, and experienced pure friendship.
He had already obtained the things he cherished and desired before, so Hiroki didn't care much about a baseball game.
He has a very good relationship with everyone and does not need to play sports like baseball to promote this relationship.
So, Hiroki rejected Genta's invitation.
"Okay, then we'll play by ourselves." Yuantai didn't mind. He ran over excitedly and started playing baseball with the other friends.
Ze Yu sat on the ground nearby. He turned his head and glanced at the cosmos flowers in the distance.
"Xiao Yu, what's wrong?" Hiroki followed his gaze, looked over curiously, and said in surprise: "Although it hasn't bloomed yet, it's a cosmos, right?"
"Hiroki, how did you recognize him?" A hint of surprise flashed in Ze Yu's eyes.
The flowers are difficult to identify when they are still in the bud stage and have not yet bloomed.
What's more, even if the flowers bloom, most people can't tell what variety they are.
And it was surprising that Hiroki actually recognized the identity of the flower bud in the distance.
You know, Hiroki is an expert in computer information technology, not a botanist, so he probably doesn't know much about the wide variety of flowers.
"I used to grow this kind of flower at home," Hiroki replied.
"Oh." Ze Yu nodded in sudden realization.
"Xiao Yu, do you like cosmos?" Haibara Ai suddenly asked.
Xiao Yuzhi looked in that direction. He should be looking at the flower, right?
He has looked at it twice. Does that mean he likes this flower very much?
Huihara Ai was a little curious.
"It's not like I like it." Ze Yu explained, "I just happened to see a cosmos flower here that hasn't bloomed yet, and I think it's a bit fresh."
"Yeah." Haibara Ai nodded. As to whether she had listened to it or not, only she knew.
Ze Yu withdrew his gaze, sat with his two friends, and quietly watched Conan and the others playing baseball in the open space.
Conan's skills were poor and he failed to catch the ball, so he could only run over and pick it up reluctantly.
In fact, his skills were not so bad that he couldn't even catch a ball. If he was serious, he could still catch the baseball easily.
Unfortunately, Conan's mind is now fully occupied with playing football, and he has no interest in baseball. He cannot take it seriously, and naturally cannot catch the ball.
Conan ran over reluctantly and picked up the baseball. In the process, he discovered something.
In a house near the vacant lot, a man stood by the window, looking at the vacant lot through a telescope.
In other words, the Junior Detective Team's behavior of playing baseball in the open space had already been discovered.
Conan felt ashamed and embarrassed, as if he had been caught cheating by the teacher.
But under Yuantai's urging, he could only put the matter behind him, ignore it, and run back to play baseball.
After a while, Yuantai hit a baseball high into the sky. The baseball flew high and disappeared.
Obviously, Yuantai used all his strength without leaving any spare strength, causing the baseball to fly out of the open space and no one knew where it landed.
"Oh no! I hit the baseball away!" Yuantai looked at the sky with some worry.
"Let's go pick up the ball!"
Seeing several friends in a mess, Ze Yu stood up quietly and said with a smile: "Let's go and help them find the baseball."
"Yeah." The two friends beside him also nodded and stood up.
………Led by Ze Yu, everyone came to the door of the house closest to the construction site.
This is the house of the man who was observing the open space with a telescope just now.
Conan glanced at the house number.
Watanuki Yoshiichi.
Conan looked away.
"Xiaoyu, are you sure our baseball fell here?" Yuantai grabbed the iron gate, looked at the huge yard in front of him, and asked uncertainly.
The house and yard looked quite luxurious. Yuantai felt a little guilty, fearing that the owner of the house was an unreasonable guy.
"Yes, it fell here." Ze Yu nodded slightly.
"Okay, then I'll try and see if I can call out the owner of this house and get him to return the baseball to us." Yuantai walked over and rang the doorbell.
"Ding dong~"
After a while, an old man with a sour face came over, with a stern face and a serious look.
As soon as Yuantai saw his expression, he became scared and ran behind Conan.
"This uncle's expression is so scary, Conan, you should negotiate with him!"
"Really? You're so big, but you're as timid as a mouse." Conan rolled his eyes helplessly.
Seeing the old man coming over, Conan immediately put away the helpless expression on his face and replaced it with an innocent smile.
"Sorry, uncle, our baseball accidentally fell into your yard. Can you return it to us?" Conan said with a smile.
"Are you guys students of Teitan Elementary School?" the old man said with a gloomy face.
"Yes." Conan nodded.
Hearing this, the old man shouted rudely: "You are not allowed to come to my house! Go home quickly!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Uncle, please wait a moment!" Yuan Tai grabbed the iron gate railing and shouted anxiously: "If we don't have that baseball, we can't play!"
"Shut up! Who told you to go there to play baseball?" The old man turned around and said rudely, "If I see you playing on that construction site again, I will report it to your school and have your teacher punish you!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around again and wanted to go back into the house.
Just at this time……
"Stop right there, old man." Ze Yu's face turned cold and he called out to the old man without any politeness.
"Kid, how dare you talk to me like that?" The old man turned around again, a look of rage on his face.
"Xiao Yu, you can't be so rude!" Ayumi said worriedly.
Ze Yu ignored Ayumi and just stared at the old man. He said indifferently: "I smell the scent of death from you. Have you killed anyone?"
After Ze Yu finished speaking, the whole audience fell into silence, and everyone looked shocked.
Even Haibara Ai, who was usually indifferent, couldn't help but look at the old man with surprise.
"What are you talking about?! Little devil!" The old man's face changed instantly, his eyes widened and he shouted loudly.
Ze Yu could clearly see that the old man's body was shaking slightly.
