spring.

Tokyo gradually began to recover from the severe cold. People walking on the streets also changed their thick coats and decorated their faces with light clothes of slightly brighter colors, as if the whole world suddenly became brighter.

Also, after all, apart from being cold this winter, there were also a lot of weird news.For example, many young women ran to different hospitals on the same day and jumped off the roof to be rescued, or a group of daring hooligans burned, looted and smashed the science and technology building near the Metropolitan Police Department. There was also a gas explosion at an abandoned pier.

In short, in the eyes of the uninformed people, misfortunes never come singly this winter, as if disasters from all directions have gathered together.

Although there are also good news such as the official release of the world-renowned new game SwordArtOnline, and Kudo Yusaku officially joining the project, it is not enough to offset the gloom in their hearts.

Fortunately, spring comes very quickly, and the time has only entered March, and the cherry blossoms all over the street are already in full bloom.

Just looking at the scenery will make people feel better.

However, there is one exception.

"Ahhhhhhhh! Why can't I change back!"

In the clean and tidy laboratory, a girl with short brown hair was checking the values ​​in front of the testing machine, when she suddenly heard the complaint from the boy behind her, she frowned severely.

"It's so noisy, shut up, detective!"

Edogawa Conan: "..."

He was covering his head in impotence and rage, but when he heard Xue Li's fierce warning, when he thought that the key to his transformation was still in her hand, he immediately covered his mouth pitifully and stopped talking.

Shirley was satisfied when her ears became quiet again.

She lowered her head, and used a pen to take apart the lines written on the report in her hand to see that they all knew each other, but crossed out the chemical formula that was incomprehensible when put together, and replaced it with another formula that she did not understand. Then enter it into the computer.As soon as the new formula is entered, the constant progress bar on the computer immediately moves forward, slowly moving forward by 2%.

Shirley nodded: "It seems that there is still room for improvement."

She sighed, and turned back to the laboratory table. Until now, her light blue eyes finally showed a little regret.

But unfortunately, within half a minute, this underage genius scientist once again devoted himself to research. Looking at her, she seemed to have completely forgotten that there was still someone sitting in the laboratory.

Edogawa Conan puffed up half of his face: "I said, I said - I'm still here! Don't ignore me, okay!"

"Ah, you're still here, I forgot."

Shirley raised her eyelids indifferently, and did not apologize for ignoring the little detective, but also said, "What's the matter with you?"

Edogawa Conan: "..."

On purpose, this woman definitely did it on purpose!

A week ago, after solving the case of the Green King, Conan Edogawa came to Snowy Owl Biotechnology as usual to have Shirley draw blood and do a physical examination.But before the inspection report came out, Conan Edogawa, who was sitting in the lounge chatting with Amomiya Yae, Amuro Toru, saw Shirley coming over and told them that the antidote for APTX-4869 was ready.

Hearing this, Edogawa Conan's eyes burst out with anticipation.He was ecstatic to get the pill provided by Shirley and ran to the bathroom to take it. With a burst of severe pain, his body smoothly returned to its original appearance.

However, before he was happy for a long time, his heart suddenly beat. At that moment, Edogawa Conan felt that his soul had left his body, followed by a more intense scorching heat.He was unsteadily supporting the mirror in front of him, and even breathing was painful.

When a few people in the lounge realized something was wrong and ran to the bathroom to look for it, Edogawa Conan had already turned back into a primary school student, lying in his blue suit and passed out.

After he woke up, Shirley checked his body carefully, only to find that the antidote not only failed to work, but also caused him to produce certain antibodies, even if he took the same medicine next time, it would not work.

"Strange, the original sequence should be correct, it seems that the composition is wrong? Would it be better to change it to that..."

Shirley murmured something they couldn't understand, saying that this trial of medicine was over, and waved Edogawa Conan to leave.

Little detective: "..."

He looked at the back of the brown-haired girl helplessly and aggrieved.The antidote this time gave him the hope to change back, but the short-term effect of the antidote made him fall to the bottom in an instant.

It's like a person who has eaten simple food for a long time, and suddenly gives him a Michelin three-star meal, and then lets him go back to live a hard life. The huge gap will intensify his inner desire in an instant.

It has been more than three months since Edogawa Conan left home, even the simple Mao Lilan realized that something was wrong.After returning from a karate competition in Singapore, she went to his house several times.Fortunately, Shuichi Akai cleaned up all traces of him before leaving, otherwise, Mao Lilan might have found some clues!

Even so, that worrying childhood sweetheart sent text messages to the little detective several times, asking him how he was doing with concern.

Edogawa Conan can't always say that he is an outlaw fanatic in a super-large international organization, which will frighten his young tame.He had to tell Mao Lilan that he was outside to solve a troublesome case.

This kind of excuse can't be used all the time, and his parents are also running between Tokyo and Los Angeles recently. As long as Mao Lilan is more careful, he will find that he has actually been hiding in Tokyo.

For this reason, the anxious little detective suffered for a whole week, and finally couldn't stand it any longer, and came to Shirley's laboratory again.

Unexpectedly, this woman ignored him from the beginning to the end!

The little detective stared angrily at Shirley's back. Shirley was only one year older than him, and she was also a minor, but she always liked to wear dark brown clothes and put on a long white coat to dress herself up. So mature and old-fashioned.

At this time, the mature and old guy seemed to notice something, and suddenly turned his head. Edogawa Conan hurriedly straightened his sitting position, blinking and daring not to move his eyes.

Shirley: "Oh."

She raised the corners of her lips coldly. Since the little detective hadn't experienced any setbacks at the moment, his expression management was still immature. Just by looking at his eyes, he could roughly guess what he was thinking.

"The production of medicine cannot be completed overnight. Even I didn't expect that the antidote that passed on the mice would not work with you."

She pointed to Edogawa Conan's forehead, and wrote lightly, "When I was researching new ingredients in the laboratory, what were you doing? Don't think that you can tell me what to do by helping the boss solve a few enemies. You also want to hurry up See your girlfriend? Then don't be so anxious, you know, name, detective, detective?"

"Lan is not mine..."

Seeing Shirley's cold glance, Edogawa Conan, who was still blushing because of Shirley's "girlfriend", immediately sat down obediently, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Seeing Holmes's confession in the Heisei era, Shirley seemed to feel that she had trained too hard, so she walked to the table, picked up the newspaper that she grabbed from the door when she went to work in the morning, and handed it to him: "If you have spare You might as well pay attention to this case.”

"case?"

Edogawa Conan froze for a moment, then took the newspaper from Shirley's hand.

The headline on the front page of the newspaper had a catchy slogan written in bold font: [Phantom Thief Kidd reappears!Karasuma group pigeon blood ruby ​​is the target! 】

Karasuma Group?Isn't this the company of Sister Tiangong? !

Looking further down, there are some shocking gossip subtitles such as "He has disappeared for eight years, but he did these things", "Take you back to the life of the legendary thief".

Edogawa Conan ignored these with black lines all over his head, quickly read the main body of the news, and then frowned: "I didn't expect Kaitou Kidd to appear again... Sister Tiangong has any countermeasures for this?"

"No." Shirley said, "Boss is going to hand everything over to the police. A police department from the second search department has already come to ask questions. Besides—"

Shirley looked at Edogawa Conan's small body, and suddenly raised her lips and smiled teasingly: "There are also two junior high school detectives from other places who are also planning to participate in this case. What should I do?" Well, do you want to show them a hand and let them see the capabilities of our Kanto?"

Edogawa Conan: "..."

He wants it too!But he is still a child now, where does he have the ability to compete with others on the same stage?

Thinking of this, the little detective looked at Shirley with a lot of sadness: "It's not like you don't know that I can't go out with my appearance... Besides, I'm not interested in catching thieves like Kaito Kidd."

"Ah, is it?"

Ignoring his aggrieved expression, Shirley shrugged indifferently: "It's up to you."

The words were put down, but out of the detective's intuition, Edogawa Conan still looked down at the details on the news, and suddenly found that there was something he had missed.

"Strange, is there any content under the notice letter sent by this strange thief to Sister Tiangong? What is it? It wasn't released on the news."

"I have it here, it seems to be a love letter to Boss."

Shirley sent him the whole preview letter that hadn't been circulated, then took a glass of water for herself, and said lightly, "I've finished reading it, and the meaning is completely unclear. What love, the moon, it's more troublesome than a haiku. Those who are phantom thieves Yes, isn’t there a single word from people?”

"Do not."

Edogawa Conan simply glanced at the phone, and gradually realized the real information hidden behind the notice letter: "This may refer to the time when he committed the crime."

After all, rubies have always symbolized love, and among them, the most expensive pigeon blood rubies are things that rich people like to collect.Kaitou Kidd wrote such a love poem with an unknown subject, probably to confuse the Metropolitan Police Department.

In this way, Edogawa Conan became a little interested in this mysterious phantom thief.

"It's decided, I want to participate!" He clenched his fists and said seriously, "This guy doesn't seem to be an ordinary thief."

The fighting spirit was ignited by this unknown opponent, and the little detective's watery blue eyes were a little more excited about meeting his opponent, but the emotion came and went quickly.Edogawa Conan suddenly noticed a few words on the notice letter, and couldn't help but fell silent.

"I remember outsiders speculating that Phantom Thief Kidd is a 40-year-old uncle, and he sent a love letter to sister Tiangong... Shirley, Phantom Thief Kidd sent this letter, didn't Mr. Gin say anything?"

Shirley looked up in surprise: "Gin? What can he say? Instead of caring about that person, you might as well care about Bourbon's emotions, he is almost jealous..."

and many more.

The eyes of the two intertwined in the air, and after a while——

"Brother Bourbon?"

"Gin?"

"..."

"..."

Is there something wrong?
