I was in Conan, and after picking up Xiao Ai, I was chased by Hongzi.

Maori Detective Agency

"Halloween party?" Otoi Hiroshi sat cross-legged at the table, picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth, "There are still some days until Halloween."

Today, I received a call from Mao Lilan, saying that he had received a strange invitation letter and wanted him to come and take a look.

I happened to make some food as a gift in return for accompanying her to the hospital.

"Well, it says there will be an inappropriate Halloween party." Mao Lilan said, holding up the letter.

"Is that so?" Hiroshi Otoi suddenly felt that something was missing. He raised his head, "Where is Conan?"

"I'm probably going to Dr. Agasa's house to play video games with the kids again." Kogoro Mouri picked up the wine cup and said, "Come and have a drink with me."

"That's it..."

Mao Lilan rolled her eyes, "Dad, Otoi-kun is not old enough to drink yet..."

"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it," Mouri Kogoro drank it all in one gulp, feeling extremely satisfied. "Drinking is something you should practice while you're young."

Otoi Hiroshi put down the wine cup, "Xiaolan, what exactly did the letter say?"

"This..." Mao Lilan glanced at Mao Li Kogoro.

"Incompetent detective, Mr. Kogoro Mori:

On the night of the full moon of this month, please allow me to invite you to participate in this terrifying night banquet.

It's going to be a bloody boat party.

Of course, whether you are there or not -

The poor dying lamb,

They will all curse their own fate.

The sinner will also, before his death,

Very drunk. "

Before Hiroshi Otoi could say anything, Mouri Kogoro suddenly frowned and laughed wildly: "This is basically a war post against me, Moori Kogoro. But who is this guy who doesn't know the situation and sent it?"

"He seems to be a foreigner."

When Mao Lilan looked through the envelope, Otoi Hiroshi suddenly noticed the style of the envelope - it was the same as the letter he saw at the base that day.

"Because it's signed in English, Vermouth."

"As expected."

Once he knew the identity of the person behind it, the rest was extremely simple for him.

However, Belmode never mentioned this matter to himself. It seemed that there was something going on that he didn't want him to know about.

"Otoi-kun, do you know what's interesting about this?"

"I don't know," Otoi Hiroshi smiled and shook his head, "It looks like the name of the wine."

"Wine?" Mouri Kogoro, who was already a little tipsy, was shaking a little as he held the wine cup. "I love drinking the most~ah hahaha~"

……

"Ah chirp~"

Haibara Ai leaned weakly on Otoi Hiroshi's arms, as soft as a warm baby.

Because she was wearing a nightgown, the hem of the skirt was a little short, exposing a large part of her white thighs. She stretched out her hand and pulled it down.

"Have you seen enough..."

Otoi Hiroshi asked in confusion: "What are you looking at?"

"Don't think you can't see me because I'm sick. You just kept staring at my legs for a full minute."

"I really can't hide anything from you," Hiroshi Otoi smiled and put his hand on her forehead, "It's still very hot. Have you taken your medicine today?"

Hui Yuan Ai shrank into his arms, "No, I don't want to take medicine. I'm worried that my body will develop too much drug resistance..."

Otoi Hiroshi pinched her hot little face, leaned her little body on the three layers of soft pillows behind her, and covered her with a quilt.

Then he brought the fever-reducing medicine and water in front of her.

"Shiho, take the medicine quickly."

Hui Yuan Ai stretched out her hand and grabbed his hand aggrievedly, "No."

"Be good," Otoi Hiroshi gently rubbed her face, "You have to take medicine, otherwise what will happen if you get pregnant with a baby."

"Huh." Hui Yuan Ai turned away, not wanting to talk to this guy.

Otoi Hiroshi smiled, opened the capsule of the antipyretic medicine, poured the powder into the water, then added a small spoonful of sugar, and stirred evenly.

After doing this, he ran to the kitchen and cut a piece of lemon. He soaked the lemon slice in a cup and brought it to Haibara Ai.

"Miss~ This is afternoon tea, please use it."

Hui Yuan Ai saw what he just did. He took the cup and held it in his hand. It was warm but not hot.

After taking a small sip, it tasted like lemon tea, with a light sour and sweet taste, and no hint of medicinal taste at all.

"How is it?" Otoi Hiroshi sat next to her, his eyes full of expectation, as if he was asking for credit.

"You really treat me like a child..." Haiyuan sighed, but the corners of his mouth curled up inadvertently, "But it's very sweet."

"Yoshi!" Hiroshi Otoi clenched his fists proudly.

"Haihara, how is your cold?" Conan opened the door and came in. Dr. A Li was holding cut fruit in his hand.

"It's getting better."

"Um..." Conan touched his head and looked at Otoi Hiroshi who was clenching his fists with a puzzled expression, "What are you doing?"

"Hmph," Otoi Hiroshi said without changing his expression. He stood up and struck various poses one after another, and finally raised his arms high. "I am the Son of the Sun, Masked Superman!"

Conan: @, @

Does this guy have no shame at all? !

Hui Yuan Ai rolled her eyes helplessly, drank the remaining "special medicine" in her hand, then obediently pulled up the blanket to cover her body, and pulled up the mask.

Otoi Hiroshi took the cup, put it aside, and looked at Conan, "When did you change back?"

"Three days ago," Conan raised his thumb, index finger, and middle finger, "I finally got used to my original body, and suddenly it became like this again. I feel a little uncomfortable even when I pee."

"Disgusting." Haiyuan Ai glanced coldly.

"What's weird?" Otoi Hiroshi stretched out his hands with a smile, "Let me help you see if there is anything wrong with Tintin, Jie Jie Jie~"

Conan shyly covered his crotch, "Get out of here."

At this time, Mao Lilan called Dr. Ali.

He also briefly explained the matter of Mouri Kogoro receiving the invitation letter, and casually asked the doctor if he had heard of the name "Formos".

"I'm sorry, Xiaolan, I've never heard that name before."

"Really?" Mao Lilan said with some worry, "Who will send this invitation letter?"

"So, will Brother Maori go to that party? It will be tomorrow."

"Well... he said that since someone is provoking, Edo people should accept the invitation... He is now asking Sonoko to help him put on makeup, and he hasn't decided which makeup to use yet."

"What, makeup?"

Mao Lilan said "hmm", picked up the invitation on the table and said: "Because it says - I hope everyone will turn into monsters and attend this Halloween party, and also wear formal black suits or dresses. also the same."

"Eh? From what you said, do you want to go too?"

"There's no way I'm going to attend!" Mao Lilan suddenly looked like a cat with angry hair, "That kind of party with monsters and monsters..."

After taking a long breath, Mao Lilan continued: "But Yuanzi will accompany my father to attend, and... I have something to ask the doctor."

"what happened?"

"Since this invitation letter will be sent to my father, I think the organizer might also send it to him..."

I originally thought that he would stay for a long time when he came back this time, and before he could be happy, he turned out to be the same as before.

Disappeared without saying hello.

"Well, if there is, I will tell him as soon as possible. But I don't think it is right." Dr. A Li, who received Conan's instructions, comforted him.

"Also, please don't tell Conan about this. Every time he goes to a place like this, he will always sneak into dangerous places. Also..."

The photo of Conan she had seen at Teacher Judy's house suddenly appeared in her mind, and she felt a little worried.

……

Dr. Agasa hung up the phone, and Hiro Otoi sat next to Haibara Ai, leaning his head against the bed board and crossing his arms, "It seems like you have received the invitation."

"Well," Conan took out the invitation and showed an inexplicable playful expression, "But, I heard Xiaolan just say that Yuanzi will go, will you go?"

"You take care of me." Otoi Hiroshi adjusted his posture, and his head fell on the pillow behind Haibara Ai.

Haiyuan Ai turned sideways so that he could lie down more comfortably, and then looked at Conan, "So, do you also want to go to that ghost ship?"

"That's right," Conan tilted his head and glanced at the two people who were a little too close, without thinking much, "I'm a little worried about the sender's name."

"Do you know who it might be?" Dr. Ali asked.

"I don't know," Conan turned his head, "I think Haiyuan should know better than me."

Dr. A Li blinked, "Huh?"

"Because Formose, like gin and vodka, is the name of a certain kind of wine."

Hui Yuan Ai shook his head, "I have never heard of this name, not to mention I don't know much about wine."

"It is a wine produced in Italy." Conan jumped off the bed opposite. "Formose is the English word for it, and the Japanese word for it is

——Belmod. "

The moment he heard the name, Hui Yuan Ai's heart contracted violently, and his whole body seemed to be stuck in a cold storage, trembling constantly.

The next moment, Otoi Hiroshi patted her shoulder gently and pulled the blanket higher.

The pressure that that name brought to her was melted away by his movements and the close body temperature, and Haihara Ai's body gradually relaxed.

Secretly he squeezed the big hand of Neihiro in the blanket.

Seeing Haiyuan Ai's panic, Conan squinted his eyes and said, "Sure enough, it seems that you have an impression of this name. She must also be a member of the organization."

"You mean, this invitation letter is a trap set by the organization." Hiroshi Otoi said calmly.

Conan walked to the window with the invitation, "Well, I just don't know now if they are fully prepared or if they don't want to wait any longer. If they don't go, they will never get the answer."

"Don't go, it will be very dangerous." Hui Yuan Ai suddenly shouted.

"Sorry, Haiyuan, if I continue like this, I will never be able to make any progress."

Otoi Hiroshi stood up and sat on the edge of the bed, "I think you should go there, and I'll stay and pick up Xiao Ai."

Hui Yuan Ai looked at his profile in confusion and said no more.

……

On the other side, Belmod was sitting on the bed in Hiroshi Otoi's apartment, breathing out a breath of smoke.

The moon was dark and the stars were sparse, the evening breeze was cold, and her silver hair hung down to her waist against her smooth back.

In the dark room, she gently hugged her knees, crossed her ankles tightly, and her crystal toes curled up and then curled up.

What was ringing in the headphones was the voice of Hiroshi Otoi and his entourage.

"Lark..."

"You will forgive me, right..."

……

After Conan and Dr. Agasa left, Haibara Ai was about to say something but was stopped by Otoi Hiroshi's gesture.

He took out his mobile phone, and a figure like the battery percentage was displayed on the screen.

As the number continues to rise, it reaches 100%.

Hiroki's voice suddenly sounded on the phone, "OK, the nearby signal has been covered. Now even if we say anything here, the other side will not hear anything."

"What do you mean..." Hui Yuan Ai suddenly realized something, "Could it be?"

"That's right," Otoi Hiroshi nodded, "Everything we said just now has been monitored. If you guessed it correctly, the person on the other side is Belmod."

"How much do you know about the invitation letter?" Haiyuan Ai coughed lightly.

Otoi Hiroshi shook his head, "I don't have a clue, but this matter should be Bellmod's own initiative. Gin never heard him mention it."

"Gin..."

Seeing that she was thinking wildly again, Hiroshi Otoi rubbed her head and said, "Don't worry, I'm here."

"Absolutely," Haiyuan Ai pulled the blanket up again, covering half of his face, "Don't do dangerous things..."

The white and cute little feet were exposed in the air. Hiroshi Otoi gently held them in his hands and took a bite, "No way."

After saying that, he took out two layers of pillows from the pile, told her to lie down, and then unfolded the quilt again and spread it out flatly.

After taking the medicine, Hui Yuan Ai gradually felt a little dizzy, so she could only let him do whatever he wanted with her.

However, when Hiroshi Otoi put the quilt on her shoulders, she unobediently lifted the quilt up, covering half of her face, revealing only a pair of misty eyes.

She seems to like sleeping like this.

Otoi Hiroshi stared at her, the corners of his mouth curled up, but he felt helpless.

He looked out the window. The night sky was blurred and the stars were bright. His dark eyes seemed to be staring at her on the other side.

"Belmod..."

After about a while, Otoi Hiro, who came back to his senses, noticed that Haibara Ai's breathing gradually stabilized.

"Ai-chan~"

"Shiho~"

no respond.

He closed the curtains and left a small gap at the window so that it would not be too stuffy when she slept.

Looking back, I saw her cute sleeping face as a little girl. Occasionally, she seemed to be dreaming about something. A slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly with her breathing.

From the beginning, she was probably the one I wanted to protect.

Tiptoed to the door.

"Hong..."

Otoi Hiroshi thought he had woken her up, but found that she did not open her eyes. She murmured softly, and continued to sleep as if her little hand was being held.

"Good night, Shiho."
