Great Swordsman Ke Xue

Since the incident occurred after dinner, Takahashi and Chikako, who had gone back to their rooms early to rest, disappeared. No one else in the villa knew about it.

Nothing happened all night until breakfast time the next day.

"Nani?! Miss Chikako, she——!?"

Suzuki Ayako rested her arms on the table and touched her forehead with one hand. Her overwhelmed eyes seemed to be a little tired.

Xiaolan covered her mouth with a look of disbelief, while the other three members of the film club stayed on the spot.

"How could it be, how could it be like this?"

"Ayako——, are you really not joking?" Kakutani Hiroki's eyes widened. Although his tone was suspicious, he just didn't want to believe it.

"Takahashi," Ota Sheng swallowed. He suddenly recalled that he had ridiculed Takahashi Ryoichi for getting fat again during dinner last night.

And he just happened to go to the forest last night, and suddenly he broke out in a cold sweat, his face darkened with fear.

Sonoko was vaccinated in advance by Ayako and was just silent in the atmosphere.

Conan pulled Shimizu Koji's arm, and his little eyes, which had not yet woken up, suddenly opened wide. No need to speak, Shimizu Koji could actually understand what he meant.

what's the situation? Aren't you outside? Why didn't you find anything?

"I just hid beside the villa for a while."

Conan's movements froze when he heard this, and he seemed a little annoyed.

"It turns out that Miss Chikako's famous work, the currently showing Blue Castle, was copied from Miss Atsuko."

Xiaolan's eyes were slightly stunned and she murmured quietly.

It seems a little hard to accept that the two people sitting across from each other who were still alive last night, one is dead, and the other has been detained by the police in a cage that never sees the light of day.

Afterwards, after breakfast in a silent atmosphere, Suzuki Ayako arranged vehicles to send everyone away.

——

"Just get here, thank you for the hard work."

Shimizu Koji spoke softly, and the driver in front of him who was responsible for seeing him nodded, and parked the car safely at the intersection.

It was only ten o'clock in the morning when we arrived, and the smell of the morning was still lingering in the breeze. Green branches and leaves peeked out from the roadside courtyard wall, casting a fresh green shade on a small corner of the ground.

It only takes two or three minutes to walk all the way home from the alley, and Koji Shimizu is already roughly familiar with the situation in the neighborhood.

There are currently only two households in the alley where Kudo's house is located, one is his own, and the other is Kudo Shinichi's original neighbor. Now Koji Shimizu only knows his surname Agasa.

It had been a few days since he moved here, but he hadn't seen what his next door neighbor looked like, and he wasn't very curious about it.

It's just that every time I pass by the door of A Li's house, I still look at the villa with a different style. It is obviously a residence but looks like an office of some research institute.

But this time, as soon as Koji Shimizu walked to the door of Dr. Ali's house, he happened to see the door of the villa open.

An old man with a round head, a very broad-minded and round figure, and a gray beard was carrying two handbags, as if he was planning to go out.

After one glance, Shimizu Koji withdrew his gaze.

When Dr. Ali raised his head, he saw Koji Shimizu stunned for a moment, and he quickly called out to him.

"Wait a minute, you are Shimizu-san!"

Dr. A Li trotted all the way to the door of the courtyard. When he met the puzzled eyes of Koji Shimizu, he was a little breathless, but he still grinned.

"can I help you?"

Koji Shimizu still had the gene of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, so he stretched out a hand to help Dr. Agasa.

"Ah, thank you. I'm sorry, Shimizu-san, for stopping me suddenly. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. As soon as I went out, I saw Shimizu-san and you just came back."

Dr. A Li smiled kindly and finally calmed down. It seemed that the trot just now was indeed a big challenge for him.

Seeing that he had regained his breath, Shimizu Koji also silently retracted his hand. Dr. Ali obviously knew him, but he did not know him.

If nothing else, it was Kudo Shinichi who was very familiar with this neighbor and mentioned him to him.

"I happened to be planning to visit Shimizu-san today. Shinichi told me about your situation and asked me to help take care of you."

Dr. Agasa smiled and explained. At the same time, his evaluation of Shimizu Koji's first impression continued to improve.

Conan was naturally not idle during this period, and secretly checked all the information he could find. Of course, he knew everything about Shimizu Koji's withdrawn personality, his spotless interpersonal relationships, and his fact that he was now an orphan.

The cost of maintenance and care of the villa and courtyard was just a joke at first, and he had no intention of actually asking Shimizu Koji to pay for it.

After investigating the identity of Shimizu Koji, he instinctively sympathized with Shimizu Koji.

Because from Conan's perspective, although Koji Shimizu is very strong, he is also miserable.

No parents, no friends, just alone.

According to the residents of those apartments, Koji Shimizu used to eat instant noodles and discounted lunch boxes from supermarkets. Anyone who wanted to help him would be rejected. It wasn't until Masami Hirota, a gentle and kind elder sister, moved in that Koji Shimizu's situation seemed to be better. Things got better.

Although in fact Koji Shimizu didn't care about this at all, after all, in his eyes, he could live safely day by day.

He had experienced this situation many times while running around and risking his life in order to improve his life.

But in Conan's eyes, Koji Shimizu is an orphan isolated in the world.

It was somewhat similar to his situation as Kudo Shinichi, but it was much more pitiful than his situation where he just didn't get along with his peers.

And, most importantly, Hirota Masami died, died in front of the two of them, and was killed.

To Kudo Shinichi, Hirota Masami is just an ordinary person who is involved in the world, but to Shimizu Koji, she may be a sister-like existence in his heart.

So, for the first time, Conan felt a sense of sanctity as a senior, so he specially communicated with Dr. Agasa twice and told him about Shimizu Koji's situation.

Naturally, the equally warm-hearted and kind-hearted Dr. Agasa inevitably developed sympathy for the miserable Koji Shimizu in Conan's words.

And if Koji Shimizu knew that they thought so, he might really be speechless.

He has a perspective and soul that are incompatible with those of adolescent boys who are full of pornographic waste. Naturally, he has no need to socialize. Naturally, he can be fed and clothed and does not need sympathy and support from others.

He just doesn't like to talk to others, so why does he become solitary and depressed in everyone's eyes? !

Okay, it does seem a bit off at first glance, but he is really not sick!

Koji Shimizu naturally declined Dr. Agasa's kindness, but Dr. Agasa did not have any other emotions because of Koji Shimizu's rejection, nor did he continue to insist verbally.

Since this was a situation that he could fully expect, he just had to explain the reason for his visit.

Speaking and doing, after all, must be distinguished.
