Chapter 150 Weekend Arrangements
Chapter 151 Weekend Arrangements
At this point, the truth has come to light. Kenichi Shishido no longer has any excuses to refute himself. He can only bow his head and plead guilty. After he told the truth in person, he was taken back to the police station by Officer Takagi. Because of his behavior, he was charged with concealing the truth and maliciously wounding in addition to the crime of murder. These charges combined are enough to keep him in prison for half his life. In this regard, I can only respond with contempt. Indeed, his idea is very good. Finding completely unrelated people to perjure him, especially the young detective team that has just been in the newspaper, can perfectly implement his murder plan. The only thing is that his luck is too bad. He has no idea that there are two adults in this first-year team, and one is a killer and the other is a detective. No matter which one, it is easy to see through his crime.

"But you are really amazing. You have solved another case." After walking out of the factory, Inspector Megure looked at us with a smile.

"Of course, we are the Junior Detective Team!" Genta said happily. Being able to solve this case without Conan was the first time for him as the team leader, and he was very happy about it.

"Actually, this is all thanks to Mingya. If it weren't for him, we would never have been able to solve this case perfectly." Mitsuhiko looked at me.

"No, actually, this is everyone's credit." I closed my eyes and said softly. "If it weren't for everyone's help in finding clues and evidence, I wouldn't have thought of these methods at all." Solve the case? Everyone together? These are all arranged by me in advance. Tell the children all the methods I thought of to solve the case, so that I can downplay my dominant position in the process of solving the case, and finally give the credit to the detective team, so that I won't be too conspicuous. As for the reason why I participated in this case, I have mentioned it before. That bastard tricked me into running seven streets, and finally surrendered himself. If I endured this, would I be worthy of myself? But what makes me happy is that Yuanta and Mitsuhiko have indeed grown greatly in solving this case. Apart from other things, they have begun to master independence and the confidence they should have when solving cases. This is a very big improvement for the two children. I believe that they will gradually get on the right track in future cases because of this case.

"Hehe, no matter what, we are all members of the detective team. Let's consider this case as the result of the joint efforts of the detective team." Mitsuhiko said with a smile.

"Then... the Junior Detective Team." I said with a smile.

"Big victory!"

"Great victory!" The two children raised their fists excitedly.

"Yeah, you guys performed very well." Officer Megure also looked at us with a smile. "You guys are going to Ayumi's house next, right? Let me drive you there in the police car."

"Ok!"

"Oh!"

"Police car...?" I subconsciously touched the back of my neck, hoping to wipe away the cold sweat.

Dozens of minutes later, we arrived at Ayumi's home together. Ayumi still had a bandage on her arm and was sitting in front of the TV with a sad look on her face.

"Ayumi, we're here to see you." Genta was the first to call out after knocking on the door. Hearing that it was her friends who came to see her, Ayumi's sad face turned into a smile, because they said that they would come to see her as long as they solved the case.

"You're here~" Ayumi opened the door happily.

"Ah, Ayumi, let me tell you..." As soon as I opened the door, the three kids started chatting. After all, it was the case that I solved, so I always wanted to let the girl I liked know my most glorious side first.

"Hey... is that so." Ayumi looked at the two with envy. "It's a pity that I couldn't participate." Ten minutes later, the two children told Ayumi everything that happened. This also made Ayumi feel a little regretful for not being able to participate in solving the case.

"It's okay, it's okay. We will have many opportunities to solve cases together in the future." Yuantai comforted with a smile.

"That is to say, after your arm recovers, Ayumi, we can continue to solve the case together." Mitsuhiko also comforted.

"Yeah, that's true." Ayumi slowly smiled again after hearing what Mitsuhiko said. "Eh? Mingya-san? What are you looking at?" After the kids talked about the process of solving the case, Ayumi noticed me standing by the window looking out.

"Huh? Oh, nothing, just remembered some old things." I turned around and said to Ayumi.

"The original thing?" Ayumi was puzzled.

"Ah, it was before I moved here." I changed the subject without leaving a trace. "By the way, I'll give this back to you, Yoshida-san." As I said that, I took out the badge that was left on Shishido Kenichi's car and handed it to Ayumi.

"Eh? This is... my badge~ Thank you, Xiaoxun~" Ayumi said with a happy smile. "Huh? Oh, you're welcome." I was slightly stunned by Ayumi's address to me, but I soon felt relieved.

"Likewise, Mingya... no, Xun. I also want to thank you." Mitsuhiko said with a little seriousness. "If it weren't for you, maybe we wouldn't be able to solve the case this time. But this also gave me the experience of solving a case independently. I believe I can do better in the future!"

"Yeah, you're worthy of being a member of our Junior Detective Team. You're really amazing, right Xun!" Genta patted my shoulder.

"You guys... Haha, come on, I'd be embarrassed if you praised me like that." I shrugged and smiled. "Well... Anyway, the case was solved successfully, and it's all thanks to everyone. It's getting late, and in order to compensate Yoshida... Ayumi for her injury, I suggest that the Junior Detective Team hold a celebration party together, and let's go eat barbecue together!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!" The children raised their fists excitedly.

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

The dinner table is always the best place to bring people closer together, including children. Just a barbecue made the children's hearts closer. At least that's how they addressed each other. After dinner, the children went home together, and I was no exception. However, on the way home, I seemed a little absent-minded. Fortunately, the children didn't notice my abnormality. In this way, we all returned home safely.

"I'm back." In the office, I greeted Xiaolan and my father.

"Ah, welcome back, Xiaoxun." Xiaolan smiled at me in her apron. "Xiaoxun, I heard from dad that your Junior Detective Team solved the case perfectly today."

"Yeah. Not bad." I replied reluctantly.

"Hey? Xiaoxun, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Xiaolan noticed that something was wrong with me and asked me hurriedly.

"Ah, I'm fine, Sister Xiaolan." I lied, shaking my head. "It's just that it's my first time solving a case with my friends, and I feel so tired. Now I can finally understand how tired my uncle feels when he solves a case."

"Hmph, you know how hard adults work." Dad stared at the TV intently. He took a sip of beer. "Since you are tired, take a shower and go to bed early. By the way, we are going to the beach this weekend. After school tomorrow, you can go with Xiaolan to buy a pair of swimming trunks."

"The beach?" I looked at my dad in confusion. "Aren't we going to see TWO-MIX's performance on Saturday? What's the point of going to the beach?"

"It's Xiaolan. Xiaolan said she suddenly wanted to go to the beach in Izu this weekend, so after we went to see the show on Saturday, we set off for Izu on Sunday morning." Dad explained calmly.

"Isn't it too rushed?" I looked at Xiaolan puzzledly.

"No, no, to be honest, I've wanted to go to Izu for a sea bath for a long time." Xiaolan smiled awkwardly. But behind her smile, I felt that she seemed to be hiding something. "Hey, Xiaoxun, you also want to go to the beach, right?" Xiaolan asked me.

"Ah? Oh, yeah." I didn't refuse Xiaolan's invitation. Although it was hard to explain with my scars, I just needed to wear swimming trunks and a thin shirt. At worst, I wouldn't have to go into the sea. I could just pretend that I couldn't swim. And I was also curious. What secrets did Xiaolan have that made her so anxious to go to Izu?

I didn't think too much about it. After all, this happened on Sunday. Today is Thursday, and I have another day of classes tomorrow. According to the phone call Kudo gave me today, he won't be able to make it back today anyway. Let's talk about it tomorrow. I still have Minami's performance on Saturday and I need to prepare for it. But when I thought of this, a sly smile appeared at the corner of my mouth. I wonder what it will be like when the VIP seats are full of people I know? When I thought about the fact that Xiaolan and Jingliu's seats were only a few people apart, I couldn't help but feel a little funny. What would it be like if these two women really bumped into each other? Well... Uh, forget it. It's better to stagger their seats a little. If they really bump into each other, it will be difficult to refuse if they see each other again in the future. Especially when Kudo, the curious guy, is also there. After thinking about it, I put my strange ideas behind me.

Because I had already had dinner with the children outside, I didn't sit at the dinner table with Xiaolan and my father after returning home. Instead, I took a shower early and lay back on my bed, closing my eyes. I didn't deliberately recall what happened today, because what happened today didn't give me the pleasure of solving the case, nor the comfortable atmosphere of having dinner with the children. Instead, when I chatted with the children inadvertently, I recalled another bond that I couldn't let go of in that organization. It was different from Shiho's tenderness and Shizuru's thoughtfulness. It was her one, a unique dependence on me. Oh, think about it, it was a few years ago, so it's better not to mention it. But if there is a chance, I need to visit the person I saw in the hospital today. I turned over, let out a long breath, and fell asleep. I hope tomorrow will be a peaceful day. Without Kudo, there shouldn't be any cases. Solving cases is really not suitable for me.
