Conan's other self

Conan felt a little uncomfortable.

Conan didn't dislike being stared at by cute elementary school girls.

But this is different.

He felt inexplicably that the child was looking at him like he was looking at a guinea pig.

The child was still cold and didn't say a word.

And he couldn't talk to Fengyuan in front of her about topics that were not convenient for children to hear...

So, after asking Maplehara a few questions about the child, Conan didn't know what to say.

There was silence all the way.

Conan was relieved when he entered the teaching building. The noisy children around him rarely made him feel very friendly.

"I'll take her to the office," Maplehara said to Conan, "Would you like to go there together?"

"Forget it, it's so close," Conan waved his hand to refuse, "I'll go to the classroom first."

Although there are not many classes in Didan Primary School, the transfer procedures are really fast.

Maplehara and Conan were similar at that time.

However, transfer students still have to be led by their homeroom teacher to do some preparations for admission, so Maplehara took Ai Haibara, separated from Conan at the stairs, and headed to the staff office on the other side.

"He... doesn't feel the same as you." Haihara Ai retracted her gaze from observing Conan and said softly.

"Because I wear glasses?" There were many elementary school students around, so Fengyuan naturally couldn't mention his own settings, so he had to answer casually.

"...I'm not talking about appearance." Haiyuan Ai said, "Forget it."

It was really not convenient to talk about this topic here, so Haihara Ai didn't mention it again.

Unlike Kudo Yusaku and his wife, and Dr. Agasa, Haibara Ai didn’t know much about the original Kudo Shinichi.

She only occasionally glanced at the news in the newspaper about Kudo Shinichi solving the case.

So she did not, like them, preconceptions that Conan was Kudo Shinichi because of his personality.

On the contrary, because she met "Kudo Shinichi" Maplehara first, and because of what her sister said to her on the phone, she now believes in Maplehara more.

But...she is not in a hurry now, and there is no need to draw conclusions too early.

Moreover, she still needs to develop an antidote, and there are many opportunities to obtain research samples from Maplehara and Conan.

Thinking of this, Haiyuan Ai temporarily suppressed his thoughts and followed Fengyuan into the office.

The class they were in, Xiaolin Chengzi, the head teacher of Grade 1 Class B, was a little surprised that no parent came to lead Haibara Ai.

Maplehara helped explain the setup of her parents working abroad.

This made Kobayashi Chengzi speak more gently to Haibara Ai.

Maplehara returned to the classroom alone.

As soon as I sat down behind Conan, familiar elementary school students swarmed over.

"Maplehara!" Ayumi said curiously, "Conan said you sent the transfer students to the office. Is that true?"

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Genta asked, "Does it look cute?"

"That's not important," Mitsuhiko said, casting a questioning look at Fengyuan, "How is your personality?"

"Yes, girl, not sure." Fengyuan replied quickly, glancing at Conan.

Conan pretended not to notice.

He and Feng Yuan arrived a little later than usual today, and Feng Yuan didn't come in with him, so Ayumi and others asked him what was going on.

So he told the story, but only half of it.

Fortunately, it was very close to the time for class. Fengyuan only said a few words before the class bell rang.

After two classes, homeroom teacher Sumiko Kobayashi showed up with the transfer student.

Different from when Maplehara and Conan introduced themselves, because the name "Haihara Ai" is relatively more normal, when Kobayashi Sumiko introduced the name, there was no laughter in the classroom, but only when Maplehara and Conan entered school. the lower part.

It’s a world where faces are judged.

…

After school.

"Haihara-san!" Ayumi happily approached Haihara Ai who was packing her schoolbag, "Let's go back together!"

Haiyuan continued to pack his schoolbag in silence.

"Where do you live? Are you newly moved here?" Mitsuhiko also came over.

Although I felt that Haibara Ai was a little too cold, but after all, he was the child of a relative of Dr. Ali, so Conan was ready to help.

But to his surprise, Huihara Ai spoke first.

"I am now..." Haiyuan Ai glanced at Feng Yuan, who was sitting next to him, and said softly, "I live with Feng Yuan."

"..."

Three hearts were broken.

"...She is the child of Dr. A Li's relative," Fengyuan packed up his schoolbag, stood up, and said to the heartbroken primary school students, "Now she lives in the doctor's house like me."

Although the words actually mean the same thing, they give people a completely different feeling.

The primary school students cheered up again and focused their attention on "Dr. Ali".

Just as Dr. A Li likes them very much, these children also like Dr. A Li very much.

When they went to the doctor's house to play, they would inevitably meet Haibara Ai, so Ayumi and others invited her to join the Young Detective Team.

Huihara Ai also agreed simply.

"The liaison office for the entrustment is Yuantai's shoe cabinet, where you put the entrustment letter."

“We have a lot of commissions every day.”

Ayumi and others introduced the Young Detective Team to Haibara Ai one by one. Conan seized the rare opportunity and pulled Maplehara aside.

"When did this child come?" Conan asked softly.

"On the day you met your first love?"

"You guys obviously know what's going on," Conan didn't believe that Kaedehara wouldn't remember, and Kaedehara was also present when Asami Uchida explained it that day, "But... on that day, wasn't it Ming... then who left first?" Two days?”

"Um."

"You're really lucky," Conan said happily. "If she had come a day or two earlier, we would have met her, which would have been troublesome... Really, Dr. Ali didn't tell her earlier that a relative's child was coming..."

"..."

Fortunately, Haiyuan Ai's hearing is not as good as his...

Fengyuan thought to himself and did not answer.

It happened that there was new news about Ayumi and others over there.

"Conan! Maplehara!" Ayumi shouted, "You two are coming over soon! We have received a commission!"

Conan showed a surprised expression.

The Young Detective Team rarely encounters any commissions, and even if they do, they are always looking for cats or dogs. Not only are they unwilling to accept it, the client is often too lazy to write.

So... this is the first time I received a commission letter in my shoe cabinet.

Yuantai opened the letter and took a look at it, and the young detective team went to meet the client at the place agreed by the client.

It was a boy in the same grade as them.

His brother disappeared a few days ago, and the police are looking for him, but they haven't been able to find him yet. So he came to ask the Junior Detective Team to help find his brother.

Since it was not a commission for small animals, they immediately agreed. Conan also showed a serious expression and no longer dragged Feng Yuan to the back to talk.

Hui Yuan Ai slowed down and fell behind.
