The next morning

Tatsuno and Xiaolan came downstairs to Mizunashi Rena.

——"Buzz~"

After hearing the vibration of the text message, Xiaolan took out her mobile phone.

After reading the text message, Xiaolan happily handed the mobile phone screen to Tatsuno: "Look, it's a text message from Miss Minaba~"

"Oh? A text message from Miss Minaba?" Tatsuno took Xiaolan's phone and read the text message.

——

The content of the text message was very simple: Minaba told her "coach" Ares about Tatsuno's different views on "LOVE IS 0".

This view untied the knot between the two and completely eliminated the gap in their hearts. The two decided to face their feelings honestly.

In order to be with Minaba, Ares even quit his job as a tennis coach.

He was ready to train himself from scratch and re-enter the tennis world as a player.

He also said to Minaba in person - "If you want to marry the queen, you must become a king!"

At the end of the text message, Minaba thanked the two and asked when they could go to London again.

...

After putting away the phone, Xiaolan smiled and took Ryuno's arm: "Great! It seems that Miss Minaba and the others have already grasped their happiness~"

Ryuno smiled dotingly and nodded.

The next moment, Ryuno looked up at the apartment building: "Time is almost up, we should go meet the 'stalker'. Xiaolan, look up~"

Xiaolan followed Ryuno's line of sight and looked up at the corridor on the third floor of the apartment, and a small figure appeared in her sight.

After seeing this figure, Xiaolan covered her mouth and said: "A little boy?! Could he be..."

Ryuno and Xiaolan quietly walked to the stairs on the third floor and observed the little boy's movements.

In the astonished look of Xiaolan, the little boy rang the doorbell of Mizuno Rena's house, and then hid behind a pile of old magazines placed at the door.

Seeing this, Tatsuno and Xiaolan looked at each other, walked out of the stairs, and slowly moved forward.

"Click!"

Just then, the door of Mizuno Rena's house was opened, and Maori Kogoro leaned out.

—— "I caught you!... Huh?"

Seeing that there was no one behind the door, Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at both sides of the corridor.

Not far away, the figures of Tatsuno and Xiaolan appeared in his sight.

After seeing the two, Maori Kogoro asked loudly: "Did you see the person who rang the doorbell? Could it be you two who rang the doorbell?!"

In his eyes, there was no shadow of anyone else in the corridor except Tatsuno and Xiaolan.

After hearing his question, Conan and Mizuno Rena also walked out of the house and looked at Tatsuno and Xiaolan.

Seeing this, Xiaolan shook her head and turned to look at the old magazines at the door.

Ryuno said with a smile: "Uncle, isn't the criminal in front of you?"

Mouri Kogoro turned his head and looked in front of him. Apart from the pile of magazines in front of him, there was only air.

He was about to refute Ryuno when he heard Mizunashi Rena's sigh: "So that's it..."

Before he could figure out the situation, Conan walked out of the door and pointed to the back of the magazine pile: "They should be pointing at this person!"

Mouri Kogoro walked to the front of the magazine pile and stretched his head to see a little boy with a watermelon head squatting behind the magazines with his arms around his body.

"Little, kid?!"

At this moment, even Maori Kogoro understood that the "stalker" who rang Mizunashi Rena's doorbell was the boy in front of him.

Thinking of this, he complained while pulling the boy out from behind the magazines: "No wonder you didn't ring the doorbell on Saturdays a few weeks ago, because there were no magazines at the door, right? Miss Rena Mizuno was not at home because she was on an overseas interview that week, so there were not many magazines to deal with!"

"..."

After some understanding, everyone finally understood that the boy rang the doorbell to wake up Rena Mizuno.

He was afraid that Miss Rena Mizuno would not be able to catch the live news broadcast at 7 o'clock in the morning.

The reason why he started ringing the doorbell two months ago was that since then, Rena Mizuno was transferred to the evening news and was no longer responsible for the morning news.

The boy thought that the reason why Rena Mizuno didn't appear in the news program was because she overslept.

So he specially rang the doorbell at 6:30 in the morning to wake Rena Mizuno.

He also put the bottle of sleeping pills.

He put the sleeping pills at the door in the hope that Rena Mizuno could have a good sleep after taking them, and then get up early to broadcast the news.

Because he heard from his mother that he could sleep well after taking sleeping pills.

The fundamental reason why the little boy did this was that his mother died in a car accident last year, and Mizunashi Rena looked very much like his mother.Dear.

After understanding what happened, Maori Kogoro, who was about to scold the boy, stood there in silence.

After Mizunashi Reina comforted and encouraged him, the little boy cheered up.

He promised that he would never do such a thing again in order to reassure his deceased mother.

Looking at the little boy's back, Mizunashi Reina couldn't help but shed a tear from the corner of her eyes.

After noticing this, Xiaolan pulled Tatsuno's arm and couldn't help showing a worried expression.

After noticing the gazes of Xiaolan and Tatsuno, Mizunashi Reina wiped her tears with her hands and forced a smile: "Sorry, I actually had a brother who was about the same age as him..."

After saying that, she immediately changed the subject and looked at Maori Kogoro on the side with a smile: "By the way! Maori Detective, how much should I pay you for the investigation fee?"

"No, no. We also asked you to treat us to a dinner last night, so forget about the investigation fee!" Maori Kogoro smiled and scratched his head.

This case can only be regarded as a child's prank at best.

This is Okino Yoko's friend! And a beautiful announcer!

How can he have the nerve to charge? !

Without waiting for Mizuna Rena to speak again, Maori Kogoro rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "How about this! Please leave me your phone number or email address~ If you have any commissions in the future, please feel free to come to me, Maori Kogoro!"

"Okay, okay..." Mizuna Rena was slightly stunned, then smiled and took out her mobile phone, ready to record Maori Kogoro's mobile phone number.

Seeing this scene, Xiaolan narrowed her eyes and shook her head.

At this point, she is also familiar with her father's character. As long as it is not too "excessive", she does not intend to interfere too much.

As for Tatsuno, he didn't care about Maori Kogoro's behavior at all.

After hearing what Mizuna Rena said just now and seeing her sincere tears, he knew that his previous guess might be right.

The purpose of Mizunashi Rena approaching Maori Kogoro should be for her brother Hondou Eisuke.

She may want to contact Maori Kogoro in advance to observe whether Maori Kogoro is trustworthy.
