Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 894 High School Student from Tokyo 2
The night in the countryside was very quiet, but Gao Cheng unexpectedly didn't sleep well, and he still yawned again and again when he was woken up in the morning.

However, unlike him, Xiao Ai is quite used to life in the countryside, and I don't know if she really plans to live in seclusion in the countryside. After so many things happened, Xiao Ai should not run away anymore.

"Kirodo-kun!"

Just after breakfast, Xiaosuke, a small high school student, and a girl named Xiaodu came over and called Gao Cheng outside the door.

"We're here to play with you!" the headband girl Xiaodu greeted with a smile.

Wearing glasses and a headband, he is plainly dressed, but very energetic, and his personality is quite lively.

"It's a high school student in the village..."

Gao Cheng looked at Xiao Ai who was puzzled, leaned out of the balcony and looked down and said, "It's better not to use it, I..."

"Ah, this guy is still shy," the girl laughed loudly, "it's hard to get to Xueying Village, it's not good to be bored in the room! Hurry up, I'll take you to Xueying High School today!"

Gao Cheng had no choice but to follow him out, and Aunt Jimei seemed to be very happy with him dealing with these village children.

Especially girls.

He hasn't told Aunt Jimmy about the garden yet...

"Are you living together?" Gao Cheng asked the two little ones on the road.

He remembered that the two of them came here together yesterday.

Xiaodu blushed and waved his hands: "Xiaosuke, he just lives in my house. Xiaosuke's family moved to Tokyo 5 years ago. This time when I came back, my rented house has been empty, so let Xiaosuke live here temporarily."

"The hotels here really don't have much business."

Gao Cheng noticed a novel in the girl's hand.

"The bloody letter..."

"It's Ellery Quinn's mystery novel "The Bloody Letter," said the girl, "I want to become a mystery writer in the future, and I have to work hard for this dream!"

"Mystery writer..."

"Don't underestimate me, I also have a good command of writing, and I have read a lot of mystery novels!"

"Really? Great." Gao Cheng smiled, but did not break the girl's innocent fantasy.

Although it is not so easy to get ahead by reasoning novels, it is always a good thing to have a dream.

As long as it's not like the female mystery writer Sawaguri Miko who won the Naomoto Award...

"Don't listen to Xiaodu's bragging," the little man said with a smile, "Her writing skills are just writing diaries, and they are all boring things..."

"Okay! How dare you peek at my diary!"

"Feel sorry!"

Xiao Du angrily chased the little man and ran to the front. Even after 5 years, the friendship seems to have not weakened, and Gao Cheng was a little envious of his frolicking appearance.

In this world, he has almost no student life, and graduated right after he came here. Although there are classmates like Nanase Jiro, but with the busy life of Nanase University, the contact with each other has become less and less. He also has his own detective career , entered the society early.

But although there are few classmates and friends, there are more and more friends in life, especially many juniors and juniors, even Conan, that is, Kudo Shinichi, is also his junior.

It is impossible to be alone alone...

Gao Cheng quickly followed the two little guys.

The road was already covered with banners of the Cherry Snow Festival. Although there was still one day left, the atmosphere had arrived earlier. Compared with the loneliness at the beginning, the small village was a little more lively.

It's just that the sunny weather made Gao Cheng wonder if it would really snow tomorrow on time.

In Xueying High School, there is already a baseball team doing morning practice on the playground, and the pitching and catching are quite hot.

"It's amazing, isn't it?" Xiaodu said with a grin, "This year everyone will represent the high school in Jiashiyuan, and the village has mobilized it!"

"But it seems that there are no substitutes..."

Gao Cheng glanced around the playground, there were very few people.

"I can't help it, the number of students in our high school is getting less and less," Xiaodu said sadly, "Snow Shadow High School will probably be abolished this year, it's hard to attend Jiashien, and it may be the last one..."

"Sorry, but..."

Gao Cheng watched the baseball players run the bases on the sidelines of the playground.

Looking at the level of this baseball team, I am afraid that even if he joins Koshien, it will be difficult to get any results, but he is best at batting, and other things don't seem to be of much help.

Xiaodu seemed to see Gao Cheng's thoughts, and led Gao Cheng to look at the athletic boy who was jogging in the track and field on the other side.

"The most powerful is Shimadzu. He has been a very good pitcher since junior high school. With Shimadzu, he will definitely be able to get results in this Koshien expedition!"

"Oh, I really worked hard..."

Gao Cheng recognized the morning jogger as the sporty boy from yesterday.

"Good morning," at this time, a straight-haired girl in a red and white maiden costume brought a brown short-haired girl to Xueying High School, and greeted Gao Cheng who was on the side of the playground, "Everyone came to see the morning exercise ?"

The straight-haired girl is named Fuyumi, and she yearns for Tokyo very much. The short-haired girl next to her is Ayaka, who has a good relationship with Fuyumi. I also asked Gaocheng a lot about Tokyo yesterday.

"Morning," Xiaosuke replied, and looked at Fuyumi in the priestess' attire in surprise, "Is this attire..."

"That's right, Fuyumi was selected as this year's Miss Sakurayuki Festival, and she will play the role of a priestess at the shrine." The short-haired girl explained.

"Today is a dress rehearsal," Fuyumi enjoyed the attention, and laughed, "Actually, it's nothing special to play a witch, after all, it's a celebration in this kind of country..."

Then he turned to Gao Cheng and asked, "Are you a native of Tokyo? Next time I go to Tokyo during Golden Week, can you be my tour guide then?"

"This," Gao Cheng was stumped, "maybe..."

He doesn't necessarily have the time, and if they knew he was a detective, it's unclear whether these people would be like they are now.

"Actually, as soon as I graduate from high school, I plan to go to the performing arts school in Tokyo!" Fuyumi cheered herself up, "It's a waste of life in this kind of countryside, and since the new pier was built, the village has become more and more depressed, and the shops are getting worse and worse. all closed...

"If you stay in such a lifeless place, your body will rust!"

Seeing his classmate talking non-stop in front of Gao Cheng, an outsider, Xiao Du hurriedly said: "Don't say that, Dongmei, there are many beautiful things in this village, the air is good, full of the breath of nature..."

"That's a bumpkin look, Xiaodu," Dongmei interrupted with a snort, "it's perfect for a rustic girl like you!"

Xiao Du's face flushed red after being interrupted.

"What do you mean by being rustic?! You are the one, with your eyebrows plucked baldly like a monster!"

"What are you talking about?! People like you who don't even use lotion..."

"Well," Gao Cheng embarrassedly dissuaded the two who were about to quarrel, "Actually, I also like to play baseball, how about we play together? It just so happens that I can help them train..."

"Huh? Are you playing against the players who are going to play in Koshien?" Xiaosuke stared blankly at the baseball players on the field, grabbed his hair and smiled wryly, "It's training, so it's just being abused, right?"

"By the way, Kido-kun," Xiaodu asked, "Do you want to go back for lunch?"

"Yeah, so I can play for half a day, and I have to help Aunt Jimmy in the afternoon." Gao Cheng smiled regretfully.

He is really past the age of having fun like a student, and his mentality is much more mature than these people, and it feels difficult to blend in. It was not so obvious when he was with Sonoko Xiaolan.

I spent the whole morning playing baseball. In terms of batting alone, I may not be able to find a player in the entire baseball world who can match Gao Cheng. A few amazing hits, at least not crushed by the baseball team.

Even so, Xiaosuke and the others were still a little startled, and they all looked at Gao Cheng during the break.

"Kido-kun, are you also on the school team?"

"No." Gao Cheng sat around with everyone, and he didn't bother to explain now, anyway, he only stayed in this small village for a few days, and then returned to his own life.

In the past two days, the uncle next door has to handle many cases...

"It's the first time I feel so good, I almost have a chance to win just now!" Kiyoshiro Uozumi, a child of the fisherman's family, happily hugged a bag of bread, "I bought bread for everyone to eat!"

The athletic boy Shimadzu smiled helplessly, and asked, "By the way, what should we do tomorrow morning?"

"tomorrow?"

"It was the time capsule that everyone buried in junior high school as a commemoration when Xiaosuke left 5 years ago. Tomorrow morning, exactly 5 years have passed. According to the agreement, it is almost time. How about we dig it out tomorrow morning? "

"That's right, it happens to be tomorrow, and Chuncai was looking forward to it all the time."

"Then let's gather tomorrow morning, Kido-kun, too!"

"Eh?" Gao Cheng, distracted, said in a daze, "Am I coming too?"

No way, these people...

"It happens to be snowing in the morning," Xiao Du said with a big grin, "Kito-kun also wants to see the cherry blossoms in the snow scene, right?"

"I'll forget it, I probably don't have time tomorrow," Gao Cheng waved his hand to reject the invitation, and asked by the way, "But, will it really snow tomorrow morning?"

"Of course it is true! It must surprise you!"

……

Tokyo, the Boro restaurant downstairs of the Mori Detective Agency.

Kogoro Mori, who was holding the newspaper, yawned and looked lazily at the pedestrians outside.

Kido is on a business trip again, which is really annoying, he hasn't worked for a few days...

"I heard that Detective Kido seems to be visiting relatives in the countryside." said Toru Amuro, who helped exchange coffee.

Mori Kogoro raised his eyebrows, and asked in confusion, "Why don't I know that he has any relatives? He's on a business trip, and he's still making excuses..."
