It was Miss Huiyuan who helped me. Please watch the VCR.

"Kaito Kidd has appeared."

"Then it looks like the theatrical version will be coming soon."

Higashino Ning withdrew his gaze and continued on his way back to the Metropolitan Police Department to report to Megure Jusan.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when I returned to the Metropolitan Police Department.

After listening to his report, Megure Juzo decided to close the case as natural death.

Because there is really nothing that can prove that this incident should be attributed to "homicide".

The body looked like a normal death. No extra human tissue or fingerprints were found at the scene. Only Asuka Makoto's fingerprints were found on the door handles of the front door and the bedroom door.

But this doesn't prove anything at all, after all, he was the first discoverer.

As for other suspicious traces, such as "the floor has been mopped cleanly", "the window has been wiped and a small part of the deceased's fingerprints remain", etc., they cannot be treated as breakthrough points.

It is not illegal to mop the floor or to wipe the windows.

Not only murderers can do these things, but the deceased can do them as well.

If the autopsy results clearly indicate natural death, all less important doubts can only be attributed to the various behaviors that the deceased may have engaged in during his lifetime.

But I still feel a little unwilling to close the case like this.

Dong Ye Ning was not regretful about the loss of a reward for a case, but the terrified look of the deceased as he looked at the bedroom door was very impressive.

There was a sound of paper documents hitting the table.

Megure Jusan put the organized documents on the table and said, "Brother Dongye, let's stop here for this case. Thank you for your hard work today."

Dong Ye Ning shook his head and forced a smile, "It's all part of my job."

"By the way, you should be taking over the shift with Brother Takagi today, right?" Megure Jusan stood up and motioned for them to go off work together, while making a joke about the older generation, "Don't you have a date tomorrow?"

Dating...I guess it can be considered a date.

Dong Ye Ning took the initiative to open the door, "It's just a move. I discussed it with Kudo-san and decided to rent his house."

This news is quite surprising.

Megure Jusan opened his eyes wide, "When did Brother Kudo come back?"

"He hasn't come back yet. We communicated over the phone. He said..."

...

The two of them walked and talked, and soon arrived downstairs at the Metropolitan Police Department.

They stood there to end the conversation, and then went home.

However, before going home, Dong Ye Ning still had to take care of her stomach.

I was busy all day and didn't have a chance to eat.

He had called home when he was on duty in the afternoon and said that he would probably not be back early tonight, so he was in no hurry to go home now.

You can eat more casually.

After a brief hesitation, Dong Ye Ning decided to order a Chinese set meal at the izakaya.

...

It was half past nine that night.

Dong Ye Ning opened the door with a plastic bag in his hand.

Haibara Ai, who was bored to the point of being a little crazy, immediately sat up straight and blurted out "You're finally back."

Oops, my neediness is exposed!

The little girl quickly covered her mouth.

But Dong Ye would rather not have so many twists and turns like her.

"I'm sorry you left me home alone."

Dong Ye Ning changed his shoes and came to the sofa, then tilted his head and stared at Huihara Ai.

His sight seemed to have physical properties.

Under his gaze, the little girl quietly retreated to the corner of the sofa, thinking of all kinds of possibilities in her mind.

Perhaps she felt that her inner drama was a little too rich, Huihara bit her lip and said, "Why are you staring at me!"

Dong Ye Ning sat down on the sofa with a light "tsk" and put the bag in his hand on the table.

The bag contained his Chinese meal and some yakitori skewers.

In the end, he chose the latter between dining in and take-out.

Because he always felt that there was an invisible longing pulling him back home.

Besides...I feel a little guilty about leaving the little girl alone.

It turned out that he was right to come back as soon as possible.

As soon as you open the box, the aroma of food bursts out.

Dong Ye Ning separated his chopsticks, whispered "I'm starting", and started eating.

At this time, Huihara Ai came closer and poked his shoulder, then poked his waist.

"Hey, so why were you staring at me like that just now?"

"And wouldn't it be more convenient for you to eat out?"

Dong Ye Ning was struggling with the fried dumplings. Because he was eating in big mouthfuls, he was unable to speak for a while.

As a result, Haibara Ai thought he was deliberately keeping her in suspense.

So the little girl made a bold decision for some unknown reason.

She squeezed next to Dong Ye Ning and put her chin on his shoulder...

The taste of food has lost its dominance at this moment.

The unique smell of the body is the trumpeter who blows the charge.

This is true for both of them.

The novel perspective allows Haibara Ai to see more details, for example... Tono Ning's eyes are really bright and lively.

The novel touch also made Dongye Ning feel more emotions, such as... Huihara Ai's unconcealable nervousness and shyness.

My shoulders feel heavy.

If you tilt your head slightly, contact will occur.

Dong Ye Ning slowly swallowed the fried dumplings in his mouth.

"I just saw you because I suddenly felt that you still didn't have enough clothes, so I wanted to buy you some more."

“As for why not just eat out…”

He paused.

There was no time to prepare a draft.

The words rushed out.

"Because I thought you might be worried about me, or maybe...missing me."

"So it's better to come back early."

The last sentence was said word by word.

The air was quiet.

Haibara Ai's expression froze, she retracted her head like a robot, and stood upright on the ground with a blank look in her eyes.

"Well, I suddenly remembered that I had an appointment with Miss Panda to go to bed now."

She turned around mechanically and put her hands on the seams of her trousers.

Be it the voice or the tone.

They are all in the same level tone.

"good night, see you tomorrow."

"If you don't have anything special, don't knock on my door tonight."

"The door to my room seems to be a little uncomfortable today."

Haibara Ai began to retreat, kicking her legs and waving her arms like a puppet, and she even turned her head in the wrong direction.

Dong Ye Ning: "......"

Sister, this is really a bit abstract.

He sighed helplessly, pulled Haibara Ai back to his side, and placed the Yakitori skewer in front of her.

"Miss Panda can sleep well on her own. I'll talk to her later."

"Mr. Door Panel's joints may not be very flexible. I'll help him take a look later."

Dong Ye Ning continued to speak seriously, "I brought it back especially for you. You have to try it no matter what, right?"

After saying that, he stood up and said, "You eat first, I'll go get some wheat juice."

He wanted to give Haibara Ai some space to adjust her mentality.

Tsk, I really am a caring person who can easily move others.

When he came out of the kitchen with beer, Haibara Ai was gone and only half of the yakitori kebab was left on the table.

Okay~ Since you insist on going back to your room, then go back.

Dong Ye Ning continued to satisfy his appetite.

And Haibara Ai was wiping her tears with a smile in front of the window sill of her bedroom.

Maybe this seems exaggerated to others.

But for her, it really touches her heart to feel cared for, missed, and that all her efforts and longings will be treated well.

The last person who treated her like this was Miyano Akemi.

Sister, I miss you.
