The car that rushed into the door of Mingyue Safe House exploded several times, and flames shot into the sky. Fortunately, police cars, fire trucks and ambulances arrived and the fire was under control.

The balconies on the first and second floors of Mingyue's safe house were a little affected, but overall it was pretty good. After all, there wasn't much furniture and there were no flammable things placed there. It's just that we might not be able to move in today.

Mingyue looked at her safe house and fell into deep thought.

The fire truck left after checking that there was no source of fire. The police searched for evidence next to the burned car and checked for various traces. However, because the burning was too violent, many traces could not be found in a short time.

Monáe Mingyue is seriously thinking about whether she is being targeted by someone, but why is she targeting this safe house? While thinking about where to go tonight, Kudo Shinichi stood next to Mingyue and said, "Don't be sad."

Mingyue was stunned for a moment and said, "It's okay. I can only be glad that I haven't moved in yet."

Kudo Shinichi looked at Mingyue and said: "You can cry even if the cake is dirty, but you won't feel sad if your house is burned. You are really weird."

"My brother made those cakes very seriously, and I really cherish them." Mingyue explained.

Kudo Yusaku stood next to the two children and listened to their conversation, and heard something unusual from it. Logically speaking, it was just that the cake was stained and damaged, so he shouldn't be so sad, but his home was damaged or even burned down. What should be sad is not sad.

Yusaku was very sure that these were all subconscious expressions of Ming Yue, and there was no element of acting. So why is this happening?

After hearing Mingyue's explanation, Kudo Shinichi couldn't understand and asked: "Is the cake really that important? Is it more important than the burned furniture and house?"

Mingyue nodded and said, "Yes, if the house burns down, it can be rebuilt, but if the food is broken, there is no way to eat it."

Kudo Shinichi twitched the corner of his mouth and thought: Oh, it turns out that he is a foodie, and food is more important than anything else.

Mingyue's cell phone vibrated. Mingyue took it out and looked at Ginjiu's text message. As expected, she asked what happened. Some of the organization's alarm devices should have been triggered. She was planning to deal with it at night, but...

After thinking for a while, he took a photo and sent it to Gin.

At this time, Ginjiu was on the way to do a task. After seeing the photo sent by Mingyue, he did not reply. He just put his phone away and thought about the task he was about to do.

Gin lit a cigarette and looked at the sunset. Bunny should be able to handle it.

The black Porsche rushed to its destination.

After a while, Midorikawa Yui also sent a message asking Mingyue how the new safe house was?

Mingyue thought for a moment and replied "very good". After all, telling Midorikawa Yui about this kind of thing will only make Midorikawa Yui worried, and he can't do much to help at the moment.

Mingyue looked in the direction of her safe house. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the broken car. The car was coated with a layer of blood, as if it had been soaked in a pool of blood.

The setting sun looked like blood. Who was sleeping there? The charred corpse was still steaming. It was impossible to distinguish between male and female. The disgusting smell spread slowly in the air.

"Monáe, do you think this is an accident?" Kudo Shin whispered in Mingyue's ear.

Mingyue glanced at Kudo Shinichi. The boy was looking at the burned-out vehicle with bright eyes, like a shark that smelled blood.

"Kudo, do you think such a big fire will usually occur in a vehicle collision?" Mingyue did not answer, but asked Kudo Shinichi.

"It really is a case, right? I guess so." Kudo Shinichi stared ahead excitedly.

At this time, a young lady came over and said to Yukiko: "Excuse me, what happened here?"

Yukiko tilted her head and said, "Maybe it was an accident."

"Mom, it's not an accident." Kudo Shinichi said, extending his index finger and shaking it.

"Well, has anyone seen this boy?" The young lady took out a photo from her schoolbag and gave it to Yukiko. Yukiko took it and looked at it carefully. She felt that this boy seemed to have been seen somewhere, but it was a bit different.

Yukiko remembered that the woman she met today seemed to look a lot like this boy.

"His name is Eguchi Dahe." Yukiko seemed to have the impression that he was called by this name.

The young lady was very excited and said, "Yes, yes, that's his name! Have you seen him? Where is he?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't see him, but his mother came looking for him before, hasn't she found him yet?" Yukiko said.

"Not yet. I really don't know where she went." The young lady was like a deflated ball.

A girl in a green skirt came over. The girl seemed young, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

The girl in green skirt said: "Lingzi, are you still looking for Dahe? Have you found it?"

"Gelin, you are finally off work. Help us look for her together." The young lady said when she saw the girl in the green dress.

"Okay, wait a minute." The girl in the green dress took out two ice creams from the portable incubator at the back and handed them to Mingyue and Shinichi, saying, "Come, sister, treat you to ice cream."

"Thank you sister~" Kudo Shinichi took it naturally, as if this kind of thing had happened many times.

But Mingyue didn't take it, she just looked at the girl in the green dress.

"Whose family does this girl belong to? She's so cute~" the girl in the green dress sighed, but Mingyue remained silent.

Yukiko said on behalf of Mingyue: "It's a neighbor's girl. There was an accident at her house now, so she stays with me first."

"Oh, what's going on?" The girl in the green skirt seemed to have noticed the movement at Mingyue's safe house now.

"A car rushed in, then burned and exploded," Yukiko explained. Mingyue stared at the girl in the green dress.

"It can't be her family." The girl in the green dress said.

Mingyue spoke and said, "No."

"Don't you want to eat ice cream?" the girl in the green dress asked Mingyue.

Mingyue smelled a vague smell of blood and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have much appetite for the time being."

"Then let me eat it." Shinichi took it and drank half of the ice cream in one bite.

Mingyue didn't pay much attention to Shinichi's actions, but stared at the woman named Green, wondering what she might have done.

"What does Sister Gelin do?" Mingyue asked with a smile.

Shinichi said: "Sister Gelin works in an ice cream factory. She moved to Mima Village some time ago. She often delivers ice cream to us. Sister Gelin is very kind to people."

"Oh, really?" Mingyue looked at Kudo Shinichi.

Green, the girl in the green dress, said: "Of course, you can tell me what flavor of ice cream you want to eat next time~"

"Can I have any flavor?" Mingyue asked pretending to be ignorant, but her eyes were fixed on the girl in the green dress.

"Of course~" Green replied confidently.

Green looked at Mingyue and Shinichi with a smile, and Mingyue clearly felt that Green's eyes were on Shinichi.

"Gelin, let's go look for Dahe first. It's so late now and it won't be easy to find him when the sun sets." The young lady said to the girl in the green dress.

"To be honest, if the child is missing, you still need to call the police first." Yukiko was actually starting to feel a little worried.

"Let's look for it first. This happened before. Dahe was playing hide and seek with us~" Green said with a smile, not seeming anxious at all.

Gelin and Lingzi said goodbye to everyone, and the bright red sunset stretched their shadows very long.

"What's wrong? You don't seem to like Sister Green very much?" Kudo Shinichi looked at Mingyue and said

Mingyue looked at the two people disappearing in the distance and said, "It's the first time we've met. I can't say whether I like them or not."

Kudo Shinichi tilted his head and looked at Mingyue and said, "You are really a strange guy. You can have a lively chat with your parents, but you are very cold when meeting strangers."

"That's different." Monáe Mingyue replied to Shinichi. What she was thinking was that there was definitely something wrong with that person. It seemed that she knew the whereabouts of the missing person, but she didn't tell him.

"Monáe, you seem to be hiding a lot of things in your heart." Kudo Shinichi looked at Mingyue and said, "You are like a mystery."

"Kudo, this is the first time we have met. He seems to know me very well." Mingyue Banyue looked at Kudo Shinichi.

"Eh?"

"Mingyue, you may not be able to go back for the time being, because they haven't finished investigating the traces at the door, and they don't know when they will be able to complete the investigation. It's already very late. How about having dinner with us?" Kudo Yusaku invited Mingyue to eat with him. dinner.

"This is not..." Mingyue subconsciously refused.

Yukiko asked Ming Yue: "Ming Yue, don't refuse first, okay? Do you still have a place to stay at night?"

Mingyue thought about it for a while. There was a place to live. At most, he could go back to the base or sleep in the laboratory. There were also a few safe houses. But if a case happened here, the police might investigate the whereabouts, which would not be good. Sleeping in a hotel? It seems there is no way to check in. It's a bit tricky.

Yukiko seemed to have seen through everything and said: "There is no place to live."

"I should be able to go live with my brother." Mingyue tried to use her brother's excuse to get through.

But Yuzuo's question brought Mingyue back to reality.

Kudo Yusaku asked: "What does your brother do?" Logically speaking, the cakes are freshly made, so the child should not be allowed to live so far away unless there is a job for a special reason.

In fact, Mingyue also guessed that Yuzuo would ask this question. Indeed, the basket of small cakes could show that she was not helpless, but there was indeed a problem with her brother not being able to be by her side.

And Mingyue knows that a lie must be covered with more lies. The more lies there are, the more loopholes will be and the faster it will be exposed.

Mingyue thought about it seriously and said: "What they do may not be known to the world, and they will have to pay a heavy price regardless of success or failure."

Yusaku's expression became serious. Indeed, these remarks were very similar to those of some secret official operatives, so her parents might have died during the mission, and those brothers were her parents' comrades or something?

Kudo Shinichi scratched his hair and said, "What kind of job is this? It sounds very serious."

"Shinichi, there's no need to speculate on this issue, and don't talk to others about it," Kudo Yusaku said.

Kudo Shinichi didn't understand very much. He tilted his head and looked at Monna Mingyue, this mysterious girl.

Kudo Yusaku thought for a while and said: "Then you can't go looking for them. The police may come to investigate tomorrow. If you are not here, they will naturally go looking for you. Naturally, they chose you to be here alone. They have their own considerations. of."

If you are really an official carrying out a secret mission, then a small cake made by yourself will naturally have a different weight in your heart than a piece of furniture you just bought.

"I can..." Mingyue tried to persuade, but she didn't know what kind of reason was suitable.

"It's okay. I just got involved in a case suddenly and stayed at a neighbor's house for a while." Yusaku had a warm smile on his face.

Mingyue raised her head, "Is this okay?"

"Okay!" Yukiko also smiled, and her smile was very warm. Yukiko had no objection to Yusaku's decision, because Yusaku had his own considerations.

Ming Yue also knew in her heart that staying at Kudo's house was the best choice under the current situation, but she did not want to have a deeper interaction with them.

The setting sun has slowly sunk below the horizon, and the Milky Way is already looming.

Mingyue and Kudo's family had dinner at Kudo's house. It was a very pleasant dinner.

After dinner, Yuzu led Mingyue to visit the study room. It was a round study room with books everywhere.

Mingyue sighed: "There are so many books."

Kudo Yusaku asked Mingyue which mystery novel is her favorite?

Mingyue said: "Of course it's Sherlock Holmes written by Conan Doyle."

Kudo Shinichi's eyes were bright, he looked at Mingyue and said, "I also like this novel very much!"

Kudo Yusaku asked Mingyue again: "Which character in Sherlock Holmes do you like?"

Mingyue said: "James Moriarty." Mingyue thought to herself that because he is also a Sherlock Holmes fan, his favorite character is Moriarty, so I got to know him and fell in love with him. I like the feeling of having all the information at my fingertips, and want to be that person.

Kudo Yusaku was stunned for a moment and asked: "Why?"

Mingyue said: "If the detective is the one who decodes the secrets, then the criminal is the one who creates the questions. There is the one who creates the questions first, and then there is the one who decodes the secrets. So just like in mystery novels, you have to figure out the puzzle first before you can give readers the pleasure of solving the problem. .”

Kudo Yusaku laughed loudly, so that was the reason.

Monáe Mingyue continued: "Uncle Yusaku is both a question maker and a problem solver. Isn't the Night Baron in your novel such a character?"

"I didn't expect that Ming Yue is also a child who likes mystery novels. If you want to read the books I have here, you can borrow them." Yuzu said to Ming Yue.

"Really? That's great." Mingyue laughed happily.

After Mingyue looked around, her eyebrows were curved and cunning like a fox, and she said to Kudo Yusaku: "As for borrowing, I have a book that I really want to borrow. I wonder if Uncle Yusaku can lend it to me."

"If I have it, I will definitely lend it to you." Kudo Yusaku said confidently.

Mingyue looked at Kudo Yusaku, palms up, and said sincerely: "I want the copy of Baron of the Night that Uncle Yusaku hasn't published yet."

"Eh?" Kudo Yusaku's eyes widened, while Shinichi and Yukiko laughed.

"Dad, you've been pushed for a manuscript~" Kudo Shinichi smiled so hard that he couldn't even straighten his waist.
