Mingyue rang the doorbell.

After a while, a pleasant female voice came from the doorbell: "Who are you?"

Mingyue raised her head and said into the doorbell's microphone: "I am a new neighbor. I..."

"Wait a minute, I'll be right over!" Mingyue was interrupted before she finished speaking, and the voice coming from the doorbell seemed to be mixed with excitement.

The call was cut off.

Mingyue blinked, what happened? What's wrong? Didn't it come at the right time? Should I write a greeting note first? However, the invitation is too formal. Was it a little too hasty?

Mingyue was holding the basket in both hands, with complicated thoughts, and then she saw the door inside was opened. A woman with long flowing brown curly hair ran over, opened the door, quickly ran to Mingyue, and bent down to look at Mingyue.

Mingyue was frightened by this posture and silently took a small step back.

Mingyue actually knew that the person who came was Fujimine Yukiko, the wife of her favorite mystery novelist. I had seen him once in the mall before, but this was the first time he had such close contact. This feeling made Mingyue both excited and nervous.

After all, Belmode didn't want people in the organization to come into contact with her good sisters, but she didn't expect Mingyue and Yukiko to meet here. It was really an accident, Mingyue didn't want to be associated with celebrities.

A calm male voice sounded behind Yukiko, and the voice sounded a little bit complaining: "Yukiko, you will scare our little neighbor."

"Oh, I'm sorry, you are so cute. I have already seen you on the second floor, and I was wondering when you would come to visit us neighbors~" Yukiko said with a smile.

Mingyue thought to herself: It's good to listen to Brother Little Cake's arrangements. If she really doesn't visit, will it attract attention? There is a bit too much etiquette in Japan. It seems that it is necessary to learn it.

A young man put his hands behind his head, leaned out half-body from Yukiko, looked at Mingyue and said: "Grey hair, blue eyes, your skin is so white. Are you a foreigner?"

"I'm mixed-race, so I'm not a complete foreigner." Mingyue replied. I felt that the advice given by Ruide was good. The purple eye color was too eye-catching, so changing it to blue would be just right.

"Hey, baby, why are you alone? Where are your parents?" Yukiko looked around, but didn't seem to see the parents of the child in front of her. It stands to reason that the parents would accompany them when visiting neighbors, but why is there such a child? Their family has dug a large wine cellar, so it stands to reason that there are adults in it.

"They passed away a long time ago. Now I live alone." Mingyue explained seriously. Living alone would indeed make people suspicious, but it is not inexplicable.

Although Ming Yue wanted Ming Mei to come and live with her, Akai Shuichi would also come over and many things would be inconvenient, so she didn't ask for this.

"Yusaku, I really want a girl like this. She's so cute. A hundred times cuter than our Shin-chan." Yukiko said coquettishly to Yusaku.

"Hey, hey, hey, mom, you can't do this." The boy looked at his mother for half a month.

"Yukiko, she... By the way, kid, what's your name?" Yuzu looked at Mingyue with an apologetic look on his face, as his wife's personality was a bit out of character.

"Mingyue, Monáe Mingyue, I have several brothers, and my brother will take care of me. Originally, grandpa was planning to come and live with me, but he is not in good health and needs to rest, so now I am the only one living here."

"Monae, this surname is not common in Japan. I am Kudo Yusaku, this is my wife Yukiko, and this is my son Kudo Shinichi."

After several people greeted each other, Kudo Shinichi said: "I heard that your home has a large wine cellar."

Mingyue nodded and said: "Yes, grandpa likes wine very much and has collected a lot of good wine. But now that he has not moved here, the wine cellar is still empty. This is a small cake that my brother asked me to bring to the neighbors. My brother made it himself."

"Let's go inside and talk," Yusaku suggested. "The black tea my wife makes is very good."

The four of them entered Kudo's house, walked through the courtyard, changed their shoes and entered the room. On the left was the living room.

Mingyue followed Kudo and his wife into the living room. Yukiko went to the kitchen to make black tea for everyone. Mingyue took out the cakes in the basket.

The soft and dense taste made Kudo and his son full of praise.

"Mingyue, you are on vacation now, right? Where are you going to go to school?" Kudo Yusaku took a sip of black tea and continued: "Shinichi, this year I will go to Goddan Middle School."

Mingyue fell into thinking, is it impossible to avoid going to school at this age? Shiho-nee is only one year older than me and no longer has to go to school. But do I have to learn it all over again?

"My family will probably make arrangements." Mingyue gave an ambiguous answer.

But Shinichi grabbed Mingyue's wrist and said, "You should also choose Didan Middle School. After all, your home is here, so you should also study here."

Mingyue pulled her wrist back and said, "That's not necessarily true."

"Don't your brother come to live here?" Yukiko asked after taking a bite of the cake, "I want to learn how to make such a delicious little cake."

Mingyue took a sip of black tea and said: "They have their own things to do, and it is inconvenient to live with me. If Aunt Yukiko likes small cakes, I can ask my brother for the recipe."

"That would be too embarrassing. If it is an exclusive secret recipe, that would be bad." Yukiko said.

"It should be okay, brother will probably agree. The black tea made by Aunt Yukiko is also very delicious~" Mingyue smiled with her eyebrows crescent.

However, at this time, the doorbell rang.

Yukiko went to see her, but when she returned to the living room, she had a puzzled look on her face.

"Mingyue, someone said they were looking for you."

Kudo Shinichi said: "Monáe, didn't you just move here? Why are people looking for you?"

"I do not know."

Mingyue was also deeply surprised after hearing this, thinking: I have just arrived here, how could anyone come looking for me? Will the organization arrange for someone to come over? Probably not. If arranged, he will say hello to me.

Moreover, Gin made it clear that I should be separated from those code members. Anyone who is not a code member should not have the authority to know the location of my safe house. So who is coming this time?

Yuzu saw Ming Yue's confused face and said, "Let's go and take a look."

Several people walked to the courtyard and saw a woman coming. The woman's face was still stained with tears. She was looking around in the courtyard as if she was looking for something.

Kudo Yusaku walked in the front, his tall figure almost blocking Ming Yue. Kudo Shinichi looked at the incoming person beside Ming Yue.

"Hello, what's the matter?" Yuzuo said first.

The woman kept looking behind Kudo Yusaku.

When Ming Yue was wondering who this was, Kudo Shinichi stood in front of Ming Yue and looked at the woman with unkind eyes. Mingyue's mouth twitched, and she wanted to say in her heart, I really don't need protection, okay?

The woman spoke up and said: "I am Eguchi Saori who recently moved to Mima Village. My son Eguchi Dahe disappeared last night. I heard that a child came here, so I came over to take a look."

"Auntie, we have a girl here, not a boy." Kudo Shinichi said.

"I just wanted to take a look, what if it's my son? Besides, a girl suddenly appeared, but my son suddenly disappeared. This can't be said to be a coincidence. So many children have disappeared before, what if my son Have you been abducted?" The woman who claimed to be Eguchi Saori kept looking over here.

"I have never seen your son. This is my first time here today. My home is at No. 2, 19-chome, Mihua Town." Mingyue poked her head out and looked at the woman and said.

"Is that so? I'm sorry to bother you." The woman said disappointedly.

Yukiko stepped forward and comforted: "We are all mothers. We understand how you feel. Seriously, do you want to call the police and let the police help find you?"

"I'll look for it first. It's holiday, and my brat likes to play around, so I don't know where he is hiding in the corner." The woman left Kudo's house.

"Bang!" There was a loud sound, and Mingyue was frightened.

Yukiko quickly bent down and comforted: "It should be that our neighbor Dr. Agasa failed in the experiment."

"It should be like this if nothing unexpected happens." Shinichi put his hands behind his head and looked out the window at the billowing smoke.

However, the thick smoke got bigger and bigger, drifting into Kudo's house, into the windows, and onto the coffee table. The thick smoke made everyone start coughing.

"Hurry up, let's go out first." Yusaku said, pulling Yukiko out who could no longer see the road clearly.

"Hold my hand." Kudo Shinichi said, but Mingyue coughed violently and did not reply. Kudo Shinichi grabbed Mingyue's wrist and pulled her out.

When Mingyue thought about choosing this location, she saw the report given by the organization: there are few people nearby and the population is not dense, so making some noise will not be noticed by the surrounding neighbors.

Being able to deal with such a loud noise calmly is indeed a good location for a safe house, but isn’t it a bit strange here?

Mingyue saw a hole in the courtyard wall between the two plots, and thick smoke poured into Kudo's house from the hole.

There was a fat body in the smoke and mist, crawling out of the hole with difficulty.

"Ahem, cough, cough, Dr. Agasa, are you okay?" Yusaku asked.

The fat body finally stood up, and the black smoke slowly faded. Mingyue could see a bald old man walking over wearing a coat whose color could not be seen clearly.

"Sorry, my experiment failed."

Kudo Yusaku and Yukiko showed a helpless smile and said, "As long as everyone is fine, it will be fine."

Kudo Shinichi pouted and said, "Dr. Agasa, you scared our new neighbor."

Shinichi pulled Ming Yue to Dr. A Li and said: "This is our new neighbor Monáe Ming Yue, and this is our old neighbor Dr. A Li. Dr. A Li always likes to make some strange inventions. You’ll know when the time comes.”

Dr. A Li adjusted his glasses and saw a thin figure, "Oh, I'm sorry. You can play with this gadget as compensation."

Dr. Agasa took out a ring from his pocket.

"Doctor, what is this?" Yukiko asked curiously.

Dr. A Li touched the back of his head and said: "This is a collar-type voice changer I invented. It can be worn on the neck to change the voice. However, the sales volume was not very good, and then it was not sold."

"Look, these are these strange inventions." Shinichi introduced Ming Yue.

Mingyue took it and expressed her gratitude. Dr. A Li asked Mingyue to wear it and taught Mingyue how to use it. Kudo Shinichi also joined in, and the three of them had a great time playing.

After that, several people went to the living room of Kudo's house. The living room was really bad. The black smoke had settled. There were gray patches everywhere on the sofa, on the table, and on the floor. There was black tea in the cup and small cakes in the basket. It's also gray.

"I'm really sorry." Dr. Ari apologized when he saw this scene, "I'll bring the cleaning robot." Then he left the living room and went to his laboratory.

Mingyue was a little unhappy when she saw that the little cake was stained with dust, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Yukiko saw it, knelt down and said, "It doesn't matter if the cake is dirty, we have received your message."

However, Kudo Shinichi moved his eyes to the side and said, "Crybaby."

A big tic-tac-toe appeared on Yukiko's forehead, and she was ready to teach this boy a lesson. However, when she saw Mingyue crying next to her, she didn't dare to scold him loudly, so she could only whisper: "Shinichi, you can't do this."

However, Mingyue's voice interrupted Yukiko's scolding, and Yukiko heard Mingyue say: "What's wrong with me being a crybaby? Don't you cry? Aren't you sad? Don't you feel heartbroken because something you love is destroyed?" "

Mingyue's wet eyes looked at Kudo Shinichi, tears just rolled in her eyes but did not fall.

Kudo Shinichi glanced at such a bright moon, then turned his eyes in other directions and said, "You didn't cry, it was just dust that got into your eyes."

Seeing Shinichi like this, Kudo Yusaku put a smile on his face and let the children handle their own affairs.

Suddenly there was another loud noise, Ming Yue was frightened again, and her tears were instantly retracted.

Yukiko hugged Ming Yue, patted Ming Yue's back, and said comfortingly: "I guess Dr. Agasa caused an accident, but usually nothing happens."

"Yes, Monáe, don't worry, nothing will happen." Kudo Shinichi added.

Mingyue thought to herself that any strange noise happening here would be acceptable.

However, everyone looked at the door of the hall, and Dr. Ali was standing there with a cleaning robot in his hand.

"I also heard that loud noise, but it was not caused by me." Dr. A Li explained.

Everyone was shocked and went out one after another.

As expected, the noise was indeed not caused by Dr. Ali. The source of the sound was the door of Mingyue's safe house.

A flaming car crashed into the door of Mingyue Safe House. The iron door was knocked crooked. The car was still running and kept moving forward.

"Call the police!" Yusaku said to Yukiko.

"Dad, there is probably someone else in the car!" Kudo Shinichi said.

Kudo Yusaku wanted to get closer, but the fire was too strong. Fortunately, the iron door arranged by the organization was strong enough, and it was stuck before the car was about to rush into the house.

Mingyue saw a human figure in the raging fire. The human figure remained motionless in the flames, and a familiar smell came from the flames.

Mingyue narrowed her eyes slightly, trying to see more, but the tongues of fire swallowed everything up.
