Conan: Naruto

25:[-] p.m.

Dongfang Haoyue, Kudo Shinichi, Xiaolan and Tiansuo Junya sitting in the chair opposite the round table were happily playing poker.

On the other side, Kogoro Mori, who was sitting in the original position with a little drunk on his face, held up the wine glass in his left hand, and laughed heartily:

"My reasoning hits every time, hahahaha!"

"Oh!"

Fumio Doi, who was sitting in his original position, looked at Kogoro Mori and was full of admiration.

"Click."

It was the sound of Shuichi Hamura pushing open the door from the living room to the hall.

He stepped in and closed the door behind him.

Fumio Doi heard the movement, turned his head to look at Shuichi Hamura not far to the left, smiled happily and invited:

"Mr. Hamura, would you like to have a few glasses of red wine with Detective Mori?"

Fumio Doi paused for a second, and explained with a kind smile:

"The Maori detective is telling interesting things about the usual cases, but I have to go to the bathroom now."

"Yes, I'm really curious about the Maori detective's experience in handling cases."

Hamura Shuichi passed by Fumio Doi, who was walking towards the living room to the door of the hall, and sat on the empty chair on the right of Mori Kogoro.

twelve o'clock in the evening.

"Boom, boom, boom."

It is the continuous sound of the bell.

"Dad~"

Xiaolan walked to the left rear of Fumio Doi who had returned to his original seat, looked at Kogoro Mori with a smile, and said goodbye gracefully:

"I'm going to take Conan and Haoyue to bed~"

"Oh, it's twelve o'clock at night."

Mori Kogoro looked at the hanging clock belatedly, confirmed the time, looked at Xiaolan and Kudo Shinichi and Dongfang Haoyue on the left of Xiaolan, and urged with a drunken smile:

"Go to bed quickly, it's time for us adults to talk and laugh."

"strangeness......"

Standing outside the bar of the wine cabinet, Toshiya Tasuo put the receiver back on the landline on the bar, lowered his head slightly, and looked at the phone in surprise.

"Handsome."

Fumio Doi looked at Toshiya Tasho, and asked in bewilderment:

"what's going on?"

"Teacher Hucang has not answered the villa's internal calls."

Toshiya Tasho turned to look at Fumio Doi with a worried expression.

"Mr. Hu Cang didn't answer the phone?"

Kogoro Mori looked at Toshiya Tasho, and casually speculated:

"Did he fall asleep?"

"Although many people will go to bed before twelve o'clock in the evening, Mr. Torakura will definitely not."

Toshiya Tasho looked at Kogoro Mori and explained seriously:

"He used to tell me... he must be so refreshed after drinking that he could stay up late and write."

"Ah..."

Dongfang Haoyue stared blankly at Tiansuo Junzai, put her mouth next to Kudo Shinichi's ear, and said in a very low voice:

"Shouldn't it be easier to fall asleep after drinking... like a Maori detective...!"

"Although some people are similar to the drunk condition of Maori detectives, but..."

Kudo Shinkan looked at Mori Kogoro, put his mouth next to Dongfang Haoyue's ear, and explained seriously:

"There are indeed some people in the world who drink less and become more energetic."

"I'm still a little worried about Mr. Hucang, maybe...he's in trouble and can't get out."

Toshiya Tasuo turned to face the door leading from the living room to the study, stretched out his right hand and pressed the door handle, opened the door, stepped in, and said goodbye without looking back:

"Everyone, I'm going to see Teacher Hu Cang."

"I'll go take a look too."

Fumio Doi stood up and was about to take a step.

"In that case, let's all go see Mr. Hu Cang."

Mori Kogoro stood up and walked towards the corridor leading to the study with big strides.

The rest of the crowd followed closely behind.

--------

After six seconds.

In the corridor outside the study door.

The crowd walked through the long corridor and gathered outside the gate.

"Boom, boom."

It was the sound of Toshiya Tasho clenching his fist and knocking on the door.

He called urgently:

"Mr. Hu Cang, please open the door, teacher!"

"Mr. Hu Cang!"

Fumio Doi stood right behind Toshiya Tasuo, and also yelled.

Mori Kogoro walked to Junzai's left, stretched out his right hand and tentatively pressed the doorknob but couldn't, looked down at the doorknob, and said in surprise:

"The door is locked inside?"

"you......?"

Etsuko Torakura walked behind the crowd, and looked at Kogoro Mori in bewilderment.

"Ms. Etsuko."

Fumio Doi looked back at Etsuko Torakura not far behind to the left, and explained with an uneasy expression:

"Mr. Hu Cang has never responded to our calls, I am worried..."

"what?"

Etsuko Torakura looked at Fumio Doi and said in surprise:

"What happened to him?"

"Not necessarily...Don't be too pessimistic..."

Dongfang Haoyue stood behind Doi Wennan, looked at everyone one by one, and gave them some comfort.

Kudo Shinichi stood on the right side of Haoyue, staring intently at the gate, thinking and analyzing in his heart:

"If the door is locked inside...the probability of Daisuke Torakura being killed is very low."

"I heard the sound of the projector running..."

Tian Suo Junzai put his left ear on the door, listening carefully, with a solemn expression.

"You...don't be scary..."

Fumio Doi looked at Toshiya Tasho, and reminded him with an increasingly disturbed expression:

"The screening tape you sent at nine o'clock is now at twelve o'clock in the evening...the movie has long since ended, how could the projector be still running..."

"In that case, let's go through the side door to the window behind the study and call Mr. Hu Cang."

Mori Kogoro turned to the side door one meter to the left, pressed the door handle, opened the door, and stepped in.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi walked side by side to the left rear of Kogoro, looked behind the door, and found...

The left side of the side door is the outer wall of the study, the right side is the endless ocean and the icy fence near the sea, and the ground in front is covered with a thick layer of snow.

"It's so cold..."

Mori Kogoro, who was dressed thinly, stepped out of the door and was greeted by a gust of swift and icy wind.

He embraced his hands, trembling slightly, freezing cold.

Seeing this situation, Dongfang Haoyue hastily stretched out both hands to hug Kudo Shinichi's left arm into her arms with extreme concern.

On the surface, the two hugged each other to keep warm, but in fact, Haoyue quietly used the fire escape to maintain each other's comfortable temperature.

but......

Kudo Shinichi felt the warmth from Dongfang Haoyue's soul and body, his handsome cheeks could not help but blush slightly.
