Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing

While Professor Agasa took Conan to climb the mountain, Nagai Hikaru happily learned electric guitar from Amuro Toru for two days, and was already able to play Kikujiro's Summer with only one-third of it out of tune.

Toru Amuro was shocked. He could play for thirty seconds in just ten minutes before, but after learning for so many days, he felt that the rhythm was messed up.

I almost understand Gin's feeling, who initially thought he had taught a genius, but later found out that this genius was just a disguise.

But Nagai Mitsuru was in very good spirits. In order not to disturb others, he bought headphones and plugged them into the speakers. He sat in a corner of the Polo Café and quietly planed the strings for two days.

When Amuro Toru watched Nagai Hikaru clumsily pressing the strings, he felt a sense of cuteness, like watching a short-legged cat playing with a ball of yarn and getting itself tangled up. He would occasionally add some lemonade to Nagai Hikaru's drink cup with a smile.

When Conan came back, he first called Nagai Mitsuru, then ran to Poirot Cafe for dinner and complained to him about a disappearance in the middle of the night and a death in the mountains the next day.

Toru Amuro listened from the side and felt tired for Conan.

"You're going to school tomorrow, right?" Nagai Hikaru said casually after dinner. "I'll take you to the ranch next weekend."

Conan was surprised: "But tomorrow is a holiday."

"Isn't it a three-day holiday?" Nagai Mitsuru counted on his fingers in confusion. It was indeed three days.

"Yeah, so tomorrow is still a holiday." Conan said as a matter of course.

"Is... is that so?" Nagai Mitsuru gave up worrying about the time.

"But Ayumi and the others said they have other plans at home tomorrow. So they probably won't have time to go to the ranch." Conan finished his hot cocoa and swung his legs in his seat. "Today, Dr. Agasa said he could make some small modifications to your motorcycle, such as adding a small deceleration parachute to the back to prevent problems with the brakes. Tomorrow, Xiaoguang, you should bring your motorcycle to Dr. Agasa for modification. Dr. Agasa said he can get it done in an hour or two."

"Okay... okay." Unable to refuse the kind offer, Nagai Mitsuru decided to let Dr. Agasa fix the motorcycle.

The next day, Nagai Mitsuru brought the motorcycle to Dr. Agasa's house. When the transformation was almost completed, Dr. Agasa received a call.

Walking up to Conan and the others who were drinking tea, Dr. Agasa was a little embarrassed: "Ah, it's like this, a murder occurred in Okuho Town, and I heard that the victim was still holding the scissors I invented in his hand, and he died in this state. So Officer Megure asked me to go to the crime scene after noon. Give the police an explanation about the scissors."

"Is it that boring pair of scissors that makes a clicking sound when you close them?" asked Haibara Ai.

"That can actually be sold?" Conan was surprised.

Nagai Mitsuru held the teacup and whispered, "Actually, I wanted to ask you a few times when I came here before, Dr. Agasa, are you used to installing surveillance cameras in your home?"

Dr. Agasa was at a loss: "Surveillance?"

Conan coughed and said, "Yes, Dr. Agasa has many inventions here, so there will be some monitoring facilities."

Nagai Hikaru took out his phone, turned off the flashing red warning icon in the upper right corner, and exhaled: "I was too embarrassed to ask a few times before, it turns out that it's better to just ask directly."

Dr. Agasa glanced at Conan, and seeing Conan giving him a look, he had to force a smile and said, "Yeah, there's a surveillance record that shows how the things I made before exploded, hahahaha."

Conan recalled the incident with the scissors, and then he remembered: "Yes, Haneda Hiroshi."

"Who?" Nagai Mitsuru was confused.

"It was the same when Hiroshi Haneda died 17 years ago, with a pair of scissors in his hand."

"Who is Hiroshi Haneda?"

Huihara Ai came over and covered Conan's mouth, then calmly explained: "It was the sworn brother of Haneda Hideyoshi, the famous Taiko figure my sister met last time."

"Ah, his sworn brother? He took his sworn brother's surname?" Nagai Mitsuru was surprised. "Can we change our surnames and follow our sworn brother?"

"...Cough, this shouldn't be the point." Conan coughed again.

"Does Conan have a cold?" Nagai Hikaru touched Conan's forehead, "No fever."

"Okay, Sister Xiaoguang, it's okay. Let's have lunch first, and then go take a look at the case in Okuho Town." Conan said quickly.

At this time, a voice came: "If it's convenient, can I go to see the murder scene?"

They turned around and saw Subaru Okiya coming over with a large pot and placing it on a table.

"Brother Subaru? Why?" Dr. Agasa was surprised.

"Oh, meat and potato stew. Too much."

Nagai Mitsuru looked over nervously: "No poison?"

Conan laughed and said, "Sister Xiaoguang, how is that possible?"

"It's true that it tastes as bad as if it were poisoned." Huibara Ai complained, "Last time, his cream stew was like that, the vegetables in it were not cooked at all."

"I'm sorry, I'm not very good at cooking."

"...Then how can you have the nerve to share the dishes you cooked?" Nagai Hikaru was shocked by Okiya Subaru's shamelessness.

"In order to forcibly link it to the case." Huibara Ai turned her head away speechlessly.

"...Just say it directly next time." Nagai Mitsuru looked at the pot of potato stew with some disdain, "It's already quite cooked anyway, I mean the person."

Huihara Ai opened the lid of the pot and looked inside, then rolled her eyes: "Yes, the meat is not cooked yet."

"It's okay. I've put all the seasonings in there. It won't taste too bad if you stew it for a while longer." Okiya Subaru said with a smile.

Nagai Mitsuru propped up his chin and looked over: "Do you know that Haneda Hiroshi?"

Okiya Subaru shook his head: "I am somewhat concerned about this case and the methods involved."

"Then let's go check out the case."

Conan jumped off the sofa, and was pulled back by Nagai Hikaru by the collar: "We said we should go after lunch."

"Eh?"

"It's okay if you don't grow taller, but Ai and Professor Agasa can't let you starve."

Huiyuan Ai whispered: "It's okay, Dr. Agasa is just trying to lose weight."

"Eh?" Dr. Agasa called out softly.

"Anyway, since the stew will only take a little longer, let's go cook and have lunch early." Nagai Mitsuru stood up.

Conan was shocked: "Xiao Guang, are you going to continue stewing? Forget it, just let Mr. Okiya stew it with the fire here."

Huihara Ai was curious: "Sister, are you stewing something?"

"It will burn down the kitchen, it will really burn down!" Conan nervously pulled Nagai Hikaru back, "Please Mr. Okiya, could you please finish stewing the rest?"

Okiya Subaru burst out laughing: "I thought you guys would be nervous and go to the crime scene first."

"…By the way, Sister Xiaoguang, you don’t have to go, right? Don’t you have to go to the Poirot Cafe to learn guitar in the afternoon?" Conan said.

"Yeah, I have to learn guitar this afternoon." Nagai Hikaru nodded in agreement, "Then you guys go ahead."

Huihara Ai raised her hand: "I'm not really interested in solving the case, Conan, you guys go ahead. Just come back and tell me the result of the case."

After lunch, Conan and Subaru Okiya got into Dr. Agasa's Beetle car together.

Subaru Okiya asked, "You didn't let Nagai go to see the case because you were worried that he would leak the information to the organization?"

Conan glared at Okiya Subaru and said, "No, Hikaru, I just don't want him to see the body."

Dr. Agasa asked first: "Why? Didn't you say that he is also very good at solving cases?"

"Xiao Guang...may have some traumatic experience with blood, and would feel uncomfortable watching it."

"He would have a trauma about blood?" Okiya Subaru wanted to laugh, "How is that possible?"

"It's true." Conan glared at Subaru Okiya fiercely again, "He must have been stimulated. In order to protect himself, he has subconsciously blocked the blood image. If he can't block it, he will feel sick and uncomfortable."

"...Are you sure he's not pretending?" Okiya Subaru didn't believe it.

"Why would he pretend to be like this? Hikaru thought my blood was milk tea last time he saw it." Conan snorted, "What good would it do for him to pretend to have this kind of mental problem?"

"Get your pity?"

"Mr. Okiya, what's the use of our pity to him?" Conan looked over with a half-moon eye.

"Let you think he is kind and help him cover up his crimes."

Conan kicked Okiya Subaru angrily on the calf, causing Okiya Subaru to groan and bend over to hug his calf.

"He may not be a good person, but he hasn't done anything bad to hurt you, right? He obviously saw that something was wrong with you, but he never reported it to the organization." Conan looked at Subaru Okiya with big annoyed eyes, "Why? Does he have to completely betray the organization for you and prove that he is a good person with his life before you can praise him for being kind?"

Okiya Subaru put his legs down and sighed, "That's not what I meant."

"That's what you mean!" Conan sat back in his chair angrily, with his arms folded across his chest and looking at the back of Dr. Agasa's head in front of him.

"I just think that you may have subconsciously overlooked some things because you grew up with him." Okiya Subaru opened his eyes slightly, "He should be a person who can do some ruthless things to achieve his goals. Even if it violates morality and laws..."

"...I know." Conan turned his face to the window, "He is not kind, he doesn't follow the rules, and his personality is sometimes bad, but so what? He is still Xiaoguang."

"..." Subaru Okiya stared at Conan for a while, who just gave him the back of his head, and turned to look out the window.

The Beetle drove smoothly. Dr. Agasa in the front felt the tense atmosphere in the back and laughed dryly: "Well, let's take a closer look at this case. By the way, Conan couldn't tell anyone about Haneda Hiroshi just now, right? You pay so much attention to him, it must not just be because he is the sworn brother of Taiko Meijin, right?"

"… Huihara said that she saw Haneda Hiroshi's name on the list of APTX4869 test subjects."

"What?" Dr. Agasa was surprised. "That medicine?"

Okiya Subaru turned around in surprise: "Is it the drug that makes you smaller?"

"Yeah." Conan nodded.

"That is, if you take this medicine, you may die, and there is also a small chance that you and Ai will end up like this." Okiya Subaru touched his chin, "So... are you sure there are no other people like you?

The photo of the girl outside his field that he had seen on Masumi Sera's phone flashed through Conan's mind.

"Mr. Okiya... do you have a sister with light blond curly hair and eyes very similar to yours?"

Subaru Okiya held Conan's shoulders and stared at his face: "Where have you been? Have you seen her?"
