219. Meet and Greet
"The books that the lady mentioned were all sorted up on the other side of the bookcase." Suzuki Jiroki pointed out the direction for everyone.
Kogoro Mori got up and said enthusiastically: "Okay, then start with these books!"
But as soon as he was about to move, he couldn't help but squeeze his mask and cough violently.
Ran Maori worried, "Before looking for a book, should you go to the bathroom to take cough medicine?"
"I understand." Kogoro Mori walked out in disappointment.
Haibara Ai reminded: "If you take medicine, the drink vending machine in this place will be in the hall."
"I want to go to the bathroom together, too." Dr. Agasa walked over.
"I'll go too!" Conan raised his hand.
Chen Xing thought about it and walked out.
"What are you doing?" Amuro Toru said curiously.
"Buy something to drink," said Chen Xing.
"I want juice." Amuro said with a smile.
Chen Xing stopped and said to himself, "Or why don't you go."
Toru Amuro rolled his eyes immediately.
At this time, Haibara Ai came over and looked up at Chen Xing, "Follow me."
Toru Amuro glanced at her with some confusion because what she said was not "I'll be together," but "with me". The meaning of it seemed to be a bit interesting.
Chen Xing nodded, but did not refuse.
Two people, one big and one small, walked towards the other side, and for a while, they didn't speak. One felt that the other party seemed to have something to say, and the other was thinking about what to ask until they stood in front of the vending machine.
"Aren't you going to buy a drink?" asked Ai Haibara.
Chen Xing rubbed his temples and said shyly: "I forgot to bring the money."
Haibara Ai pursed the corner of her lips, then took out her wallet, tiptoed to throw coins, and two bottles of mineral water rolled out.
Chen Xing's expression was a little ups and downs.
"What's wrong?" Haibara Ai picked up a bottle on his own.
"No." Chen Xing shook his head and held the water in his hand.
Haibara Ai was still waiting for his words, but he didn't wait, because the person had turned around and planned to leave.
"Oh." She couldn't help calling, feeling a little depressed inside.
-- Of course she did it on purpose just now, but this guy couldn't say it out loud, for example, making a request, it was just a few bottles of drinks.
But no, Chen Xing looked back at her, thinking she wanted to say something else.
Haibara Ai stamped his heels in anger and quickly surpassed him, but after taking a few steps, he couldn't help but turn around to look at him.
How big can a child be? Chen Xing always follows her, and when she looks back, they are right in front of each other.
"Do you have nothing to say?" Haibara Ai asked.
"No." Chen Xing looked at her, "Maybe, do you have something to say?"
Ai Haibara took a deep breath, "Did you go to the Dongdu Aquarium that night?"
"Yes." Chen Xing nodded.
"Have you sat on the Ferris wheel?" Haibara Ai asked again.
"No." Chen Xing shook his head. He really didn't sit on the Ferris wheel, he just appeared inside.
Haibara Ai looked at him a few times and suddenly said, "Do you like the Duke of Dark Night?"
"I don't like it." Chen Xing replied. It was just an initial choice, for convenience, and has been used until now.
Haibara Ai whispered: "But why do I think that person is you?"
"Who?" Chen Xing asked.
"The person who took Curacao away." Haibara Ai did not hide it.
"Did you see who took her away?" Chen Xing seemed surprised.
Haibara Ai nodded gently, "I saw it, but I probably am not from the organization, because I didn't feel that reaction."
"Does Kudo know, too?"
"Just said a little."
"Then you think..."
"I think he should be a good person." Haibara Ai looked into his eyes.
Honestly and silent.
"What do you think?" Haibara Ai asked.
"I don't know." Chen Xing said: "If I were there at that time, they wouldn't be able to escape."
"But you are not here." Haibara Ai rubbed the bottle of mineral water, "Yes, you were obviously in the playground at that time, why were you not here?"
This sounds a bit contradictory, but in fact it is something that Chen Xing can understand, because he said before that he will be not far away from her in the future. But when he faced the approaching of the organization, the danger of bullets and the collapse of the Ferris wheel, he was not there.
Although, she was impulsively entering danger because she was worried about Arimi and others.
But whether it was her choice at that time or why she didn't inform Chen Xing, it was because she was too far away and could not arrive in time, or because she believed in her heart that she would move forward with her, I'm afraid only Ai Haibara herself knew about this.
Perhaps not just at this moment, but every time she meets, she has a lot to say, but for some reason she always almost says it.
Just like now, there are borrowers who are walking gently around them, and the sound of pages turning around in their ears. The two people facing each other were silent.
"Go back." Chen Xing raised his foot.
"Oh." Haibara responded with a grief and followed him.
...
There is a signboard where the machine box is placed. It is roughly within the proposed rules. You can challenge the machine box to be opened. If you can successfully open it in 5 minutes, you will get a bonus of 1 million yen.
It has to be said that Jiroki Suzuki's sensitivity is always amazing.
And the number of people stabbed by the mechanism has increased one by one. Even so, people who want to challenge still line up.
"I didn't expect so many people to try it out." Conan curled his lips.
Amuro Toru looked at the boss who was back and looked at his hands and pockets.
Chen was so happy that he stuffed the water into his arms.
As soon as Tomo Amuro unscrewed and took a sip, he asked, "Did you only buy one bottle? Don't you drink it?"
"Not thirsty." Chen Xing replied.
"Then you said you'd like to buy a drink." Amuro Toru thought that sometimes he couldn't guess what he was thinking.
Then, Ai Haibara handed over the mineral water, "Hey."
Chen Xing subconsciously took it, "Don't you drink it?"
"No thirst." Haibara Ai raised his hand.
Hearing the same words, Chen Xing was in a trance for a moment, and his hand holding the bottle was slightly pressed.
Amuro looked at this and that, and drank a few more sips of water.
"So you are here." At this time, Dr. Agasa walked over.
"Why have you been to the bathroom for so long?" Conan said speechlessly.
Dr. Agasa touched his stomach and said embarrassedly: "From the beginning, my stomach has been uncomfortable. Has Brother Maori's cold been transmitted to me?"
"A cold is not a stomachache." Chen Xing glanced at him.
"Dr. Agasa" coughed softly, as if he didn't hear it, "So, where is Brother Maori? He left the bathroom earlier than me."
"He ran to challenge that machine box again." Conan pointed at the detective, "He was so unwilling to give up."
Over there, Kogoro Mouri took a big saliva, grabbed the machine box with both hands, held it in for a long time, but actually picked it up and ran to the side, and then was locked up with an iron cage.
"How can this iron cage move?" he said in surprise.
"Of course, the sensor can accurately capture moving objects, otherwise it may hurt people." Jiroki Suzuki pressed the switch, and the iron cage slowly rose.
'Dr. Agasa' whispered: "My brother Maori has changed now, right?"
"Substitution?" Amuro raised his eyebrows.
"I was transferred by the thief Kid."
"No, he had such a clear idea." Chen Xing said.
Chapter completed!
