Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

After a long wait.

In fact, more than three hours passed.

But in these three hours.

Haibara Ai felt a little tormented every moment. She looked at Xingchen from time to time, wondering if he really saved her sister.

Did he still remember those things? Then why didn't he tell me before?

"She's still alive, so where is she now? Take me to see her!" As soon as Huiyuan Ai returned to Dr. Agasa's house, she couldn't wait to ask Xingchen, her eyes full of expectation.

"Well... I can't take you to see her for the time being. Because..." Xingchen said hesitantly. He really had no way to take Huibara Ai abroad to find her now.

Xingchen hasn't finished yet.

"Why don't you let me see her?" Huihara Ai suddenly said, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and confusion in her tone.

Finally, Haibara Ai opened her eyes wide, her eyes full of incomprehension.

"Are you lying to me again, saying that my sister actually went abroad?" Because she suddenly thought of what happened before, her heart was filled with uneasiness again.

Because a week before she learned of Li's death, she received a letter from Li.

It says.

Sorry Shiho, the organization has sent me on a mission abroad, so I won’t be able to come and see you these days. Please take care of yourself.

If Xingchen knew that there was actually a precedent for his predecessor, he would not have told Huibara Ai about this matter.

He must have waited until Miyano Akemi returned to Japan before telling her.

"Li Xingchen, you were like this before, and you are like this now!" Misty eyes gradually appeared in Huihara Ai's eyes.

At this moment, Xingchen became silent. Shouldn't he have brought up this matter?

He couldn't help but think to himself, was I like this before?

"Say something." She screamed heartbreakingly.

"Why? Why didn't you save my sister? If you were really there, with your ability you could have saved her even if you became smaller." Huibara Ai began to think that Xingchen had 'lied' to her again.

Maybe this is another side of her.

What Xingchen said was not believed by her, but questioned.

The continuous questioning suddenly left him speechless.

It seems like sending Miyano Akemi abroad was a wrong choice here.

Huibara Ai seemed disappointed, and her tears flowed down like a kite with a broken string.

Conan and Dr. Agasa stood by and stared at the two people in front of them. They looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know whether they should intervene.

She cried loudly and heavily that night.

This was indeed a test from within for Xingchen.

Because he knows that he is not really 'himself'.

Xingchen was very confused and upset. Did he really do something wrong? Or was it that he did nothing wrong but his predecessor did something wrong?

She shook her head desperately to make the lie disappear from her mind, and grabbed Xingchen's clothes around her chest with both hands and shouted.

"Why, you lied to me!"

The sound of the shouting was like a piece of lead hitting his heart mercilessly.

"Ai." Xingchen looked down at Huibara Ai who was crying bitterly. Now his head seemed to be covered by dark clouds, and his heart was like a mess.

"I'm very sorry."

In the end, he had no words to say, and all he could say could only be one sentence: I'm sorry.

Perhaps at this moment he felt the real her, not the cold her anymore.

......

It was dark night, in Dr. Agasa's living room.

Two temporary 'beds' were set up.

Because there were no more beds in Dr. Agasa's house, Xingchen and Conan could only sleep on the floor in the hall.

Xingchen looked up at the stars outside the window and fell silent.

He was very conflicted because a woman's heart was not like reasoning, where one could guess as long as there were clues. But something like a woman's heart was too difficult to guess.

"Chen." Conan stood behind him and asked him. After all, he already knew Xingchen's full name, but he still couldn't change the name.

"I'm fine." Xingchen seemed to know what Conan wanted to say, just words of persuasion.

Or tell him not to take it to heart.

He touched the clothes on his chest, which were wrinkled and a little wet, probably from his tears.

Xingchen frowned, feeling a little depressed.

Perhaps time will bring out the truth.

Conan looked at Xingchen's depressed expression and sighed inwardly.

Patting Xingchen's shoulder, he sat next to him and said, "Go to bed early. Huiyuan is too sad."

"By the way, I have a question to ask you at this time, although it's not very appropriate, but have you seen her sister?" Conan continued to ask curiously.

"If you don't want to talk about it, you can talk about it later."

"It's okay, you've seen it too. I went to Hirota Masami's house today, and it sounded familiar to you." Xingchen said lightly.

"Hmm." Conan thought to himself, I've seen him too, wait, is it someone with the surname Hirota?

He looked at Xingchen in disbelief.

"Her sister's other name is Hirota Masami." As Xingchen said this, Conan felt a chill in his heart.

Just like that, the two of them looked up at the night sky outside the window, and Conan fell into silence.

Conan looked at the starry sky and thought to himself that he would not let this happen a second time.

"Xingchen, do you think it is true that Hirota Masami was rescued by you?" Conan recalled what Xingchen had said before. If it was true.

This kind of thing shouldn't happen!

"Really, I just can't take you to see it. Oh, you can ask your parents, they know about it."

"Really?" Conan thought to himself, you told them and kept it from me, why wasn't I the first to know.

"But, Haibara doesn't look like an irrational person." Conan said after thinking about this.

"Well, if she doesn't believe it, then just wait. Everything will become clear when her sister comes back from the United States." Xingchen sighed. He might have guessed the reason.

At this time, someone will ask, who is calling.

Xingchen has tried to call Kudo Yusaku, and the only news he got was that Miyano Akemi was traveling with someone.

Kudo Yusaku couldn't contact them for the time being, so Xingchen had to give up.

......

Haibara Ai lay on her side on the bed. She could see the beautiful stars at night from the window by slightly raising her head.

It seemed like they also spent a night together looking at the stars.

When she learned that her sister was still alive, she was very happy at first, but then Xingchen’s silence made her suddenly very scared.

Fear of disappointment.

Fear of pain.

afraid of losing.

She had lost it before and didn't want to experience it again.

Just like the day I learned of his death, my heart was clenched into a ball and my mind was filled with every little thing about him.

Thus it became the last memory.

After I learned that Xingchen had died, I dreamed about him every day afterwards.

Dreaming of them looking at the moon and stars together, or living a carefree life together.

She was even reluctant to wake up.

Dreams are really beautiful, but reality is very cruel.

This suddenly occurred to her, and a naive idea came to her mind.

He had always been protecting me in the past, and if he became disgusted with me during this argument, then we could continue with the status quo.

If this could make him give up his feelings for her, she was willing to be the bad guy.

Maybe once the organization finds this place and he is exposed, he won't have to die.

It doesn't matter whether he deceived himself or not.

At least he's alive.

Haibara Ai closed her eyes silently, tears flowing uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes, wetting the pillow.
