Great Swordsman Ke Xue

Early the next morning, Shimizu Koji was awakened by the doorbell downstairs.

He went to bed very late last night, after all, it was a sudden New Year's Eve. After dinner at Dr. Agasa's house, he helped to clean the house in a hurry.

Then, after cleaning Dr. Agasa's house, Dr. Agasa and Xiao Ai came to help him clean the house. After that, he returned to Dr. Agasa's house and watched the Red and White Song Festival, Japan's New Year's Eve party, with the old man all night.

Oh, speaking of which, the Japanese New Year generally refers to January 1st of each year, which is very different from Shimizu Koji's habits.

But when in Rome, do as the Romans do. He doesn't care about these festivals very much. As long as there is a holiday, it is a good holiday. He has no worries and doesn't care about it.

"Haa~~, so early."

Listening to the doorbell ringing outside the window, Shimizu Koji yawned, got up, changed his clothes, and washed up simply. It took about three or four minutes, and then he went downstairs to open the door and greet a group of little guys who came early in the morning.

"Brother Koji, Happy New Year!"

One, two, three, four, five, five, Koji Shimizu took out five red envelopes from his pocket.

Mitsuhiko, Genta, Ayumi and the other two were originally very happy, but they were suddenly startled, and Conan, who was following at the end, and Huihara Ai were also a little surprised.

"Eh? Brother Koji."

"Take it, am I not considered your senior?"

The three elementary school students were still a little hesitant. After all, although they are still a little bit not very smart now, they can still distinguish between seniors and elders. Before they came, they didn't expect Koji Shimizu to prepare red envelopes for them.

They just came to say hello.

However, Conan soon took the lead and took the red envelope with a smile, "Arigato~!"

Koji Shimizu smiled slightly, touched his head charitably, and patted him twice.

The red envelope was prepared for this guy who likes to act like a kid. Conan is so smart, and it's worth his effort.

Seeing Conan step forward to receive it, the three little ones originally thought it was inappropriate, but now, who can resist the temptation of a big red envelope?

They stepped forward one after another, saying "Arigato".

Finally, only Huihara Ai was left.

"I don't need it."

"Besides, we have already wasted a lot of time. If we don't leave now, we may be late."

The second sentence was to remind Conan and the Junior Detective Team.

"Oh, right!"

"It's already 8:30, we have to go there quickly!"

"Brother Shimizu, the doctor asks you to take us to watch the final of the Emperor's Cup!"

Conan took out a ticket and handed it to Shimizu Koji.

Shimizu Koji knew about this a long time ago, so he naturally accepted it.

He was indeed interested, so he agreed to the doctor's request, because although he didn't have much feeling for football, the Kanto Kendo Competition was also held in the National Stadium in Shinjuku in a few days.

The three children saw Shimizu Koji accept the tickets and walked in front happily, while Shimizu Koji, Conan and Haibara Ai followed behind them.

Although it was only eight o'clock on the New Year's street, it was already very lively.

The weather was cold, but many men, women, old and young also went out on the street in colorful kimonos.

Walking to a street different from the past, many red decorations, although of different styles, did make Shimizu Koji feel some familiar festive atmosphere.

As Conan walked, he took out two red envelopes directly from his pocket. These were just given to him by Dr. Agasa and Shimizu Koji.

He didn't feel awkward at all. This might be the only reality he was happy to accept after he became a child.

"Let me see~~, from the doctor, oh ho ho! 20,000 yen!"

Conan's mouth was grinning, and his abnormal behavior naturally attracted the attention of Shimizu Koji and Haibara Ai.

Then, in the eyes of Shimizu Koji with a smile, Conan couldn't wait to open his red envelope again.

After opening the red envelope, Conan was stunned for a moment, fumbled, and took out another red envelope from the red envelope.

"Eh? This"

"I carefully prepared a surprise, you have to be patient."

Shimizu Koji added with a smile, Huiyuan Ai glanced at him, and then turned to look at Conan.

Conan's enthusiasm was suddenly reduced by half at this time, and he asked why Shimizu Koji's red envelope was so thick.

He thought that this guy took the money he asked his father to buy gold coins last time, and was kind enough to give him a big one.

Now it seems that he really gave him a big one.

Although he thought that Shimizu Koji might be playing a trick on him, Shimizu Koji's expression and tone did not seem to be fake, so Conan continued to open it patiently.

One, one, and another, soon, the red envelope that was originally as big as Conan's two hands became a red envelope that was only the size of three fingers.

Ai Huihara watched silently from the side, and no one noticed that there was a faint smile in her eyes.

Seeing Conan opening the red envelope despite being very disappointed, she thought for a moment and reached out to pull the hem of Shimizu Koji's clothes.

Shimizu Koji lowered his head as if he had noticed something, and looked at the white little hand that Ai Huihara stretched out, and was stunned for a moment.

Although he was very surprised, he still understood what she meant.

Reach out and hold it.

?

Ai Huihara's pupils shrank suddenly, and in an instant, a faint blush brought by shame and anger appeared on her fair cheeks, like a thin plum blossom, very light and faint, but particularly moving.

In less than three seconds, Shimizu Koji's hand was thrown away.

It was as if the little relationship that had been brought closer through gifts last night was gone at this moment.

The faint blush on Haiyuan Ai's face seemed to be caused by the cold weather, and her eyes were even colder, so cold that Koji Qingmizu couldn't even look directly at her.

She stopped playing charades with Shimizu Koji, and directly reached out and took out the red envelope from Shimizu Koji's pocket.

At this time, on the other side, Conan finally opened the big red envelope that Koji Shimizu had prepared for him.

"Nani buckle type?!"

Conan's voice was so loud that the three little ones in front of him were all distracted.

I saw a small red piece of paper in his hand, about the size of a finger.

Conan stared at Koji Shimizu with his eyes widened, and then carefully looked at the tiny handwriting on the piece of paper.

[Red envelope fragments]

? ? ?

"Collect ten red envelope fragments and you can exchange them with me for a big red envelope."

Shimizu Koji patted his head and said with a smile.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Conan!"

Mitsuhiko Genta rushed to laugh at him, and Ayumi seemed to be quite concerned about Conan's mood, actually holding her red envelope with a hesitant look on her face.

After Haihara Ai got the red envelope, she quickly attracted Conan's attention.

Conan now knows that Koji Shimizu handed out red envelopes early in the morning, probably just to have fun with the two of them.

So Conan was very curious about what kind of tricks Shimizu Koji would give Haibara Ai.

But soon, his face turned dark.

"How many?"

Conan's voice was filled with resentment and jealousy. Haiyuan Ai glanced at him and turned sideways to avoid Conan's prying eyes.

"It's only two hundred thousand yen."

"That's right."

"Two hundred thousand yen."

"Just?"

Conan moved his gaze to Shimizu Koji. While he was very unbalanced now, he had begun to become habitually suspicious.

"I'm telling you, isn't this difference in treatment too obvious?"

Conan gritted his teeth slightly. Although Koji Shimizu was younger than him, for some reason, after his identity was exposed, he could no longer afford the airs of a senior.

"You should be content, she is much worse than you now."

However, Qingmizu Koji just said a word and walked forward on his own.

Conan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.

But even though he understood what Shimizu Koji meant, he couldn't help but feel a little confused when he looked at Shimizu Koji's back.

Why do I feel like this guy has changed a lot during this time?

My attitude towards him is considered to be a bit closer. After all, he can be regarded as a companion who shares secrets. However, is he too kind to the woman Haibara Ai?

Conan was thinking carefully at the back of the team. Soon, he thought of one thing, that is, for Shimizu Koji and Haibara Ai, both of them seemed to have a sister who suffered the same fate.

It seems that, to a certain extent, Koji Shimizu and Ai Haihara are the real "people who have fallen from the end of the world."

Thinking of this, Conan relaxed a lot.

He actually doesn't trust Hui Yuan Ai that much now, and he has a lot of grudges in his heart. After all, Hui Yuan Ai didn't even say her real name.

At the same time, due to various reasons, Haihara Ai did not tell Conan about her sister. There was indeed a thick barrier of mutual distrust between the two.

The relationship between Shimizu Koji and Haibara Ai is better, which, from Conan's point of view, cannot be said to be a bad thing.

Conan's eyes gradually deepened. Although he still had some grudges in his heart, after this short farce, he suddenly had the idea of ​​sincerely communicating with Haibara Ai again. This was of course the purpose of Koji Shimizu.

But at the same time, Conan also had a strange sense of justice, or a sense of responsibility.

A sense of responsibility to protect Koji Shimizu from the mysterious bad woman Haihara.

After all, he still felt that Koji Shimizu was too careless. How could he let down his guard just because he was a little girl?

Sure enough, I'm still not mature enough, so I have to rely on him!

And the other side.

In the end, Haibara Ai returned the money to Shimizu Koji.

The two of them didn't say anything, one gave and the other followed.
