[Comprehensive] Xueba, are you friendly?

Chapter 17: The Timing of Mail

"Shinichi Kudo?" Inagaki Shintaro repeated, "Is that 'the savior of the Japanese police', what happened to him?"

"I thought Conan looked like a person before," Yui explained, "Now that I think about it, Kudo-kun must have looked a little like him when he was young."

Inagaki Shintaro hesitated for a moment: "Why didn't I feel that?"

"You haven't framed Kudo-kun's photo since you graduated from elementary school, and worship every morning."

Inagaki Kai: "..."

Inagaki Asami: "..."

Inagaki Shintaro: "... So you framed his photo to do this kind of thing?"

"..." Yui Inagaki gave a fake cough and turned her gaze out of the window. Her behavior clearly showed that she decided to ignore Shintaro's question.

Shinichi Kudo, a well-known high school detective in Tokyo with titles such as "Sherlock Holmes in the Heisei era" and "the savior of the Japanese police", was undoubtedly seen by Yui Inagaki who had just graduated from elementary school—oh, he was still a junior high school student at the time. Has great appeal.Although she doesn't have feelings similar to love for Kudo-kun, she still regards him more or less like a mascot.

If Edogawa Conan and Kudo Shinichi look alike, what is the relationship between them...relatives?

But I have never heard of Mr. Kudo Yusaku and Ms. Fujimine Yukiko being close brothers and sisters. She grew up watching their novels, movies and TV series... Could it be——

Yui's eyes sharpened.

She felt that she might have grasped the truth of the matter.

——There is also the possibility of being an illegitimate child.

Now the detective industry is really bad. Many famous people in Tokyo are related to relatives. Yui Inagaki thinks that it must be difficult for such a small person to get ahead. Maybe she should find another way... and she is in this case. The biggest gain from the reasoning made is to get Asano Xuexiu's phone number.

Telephone……?

Inagaki Yui suddenly remembered a suspicious point before, whether the threatening phone call mentioned by Fumiko Funatsu was actually made by Juri Ogiuchi.

There may be two people who are lying - Fumiko Funatsu and Juri Ogouchi.If the liar is Fumiko Funatsu, her purpose is self-evident, but she did not overthrow her testimony even in the end—including after Dr. Ari and Yui Inagaki told the truth, there were police | Asked her several times, she did not change her words.And Oguchi Juri... If she lied about the loss of her phone, then the problem would be solved; and if she was telling the truth, who used her phone to intimidate the Funatsu couple?

... No, she still remembered Fumiko Funatsu's testimony, when Fumiko Funatsu said "Kill you two".

The targets of intimidation were not Funatsu and his wife, but Kei Funatsu and Kodai Uekihara.

If Funatsu Fumiko's statement is true, and what she heard was indeed a voice very close to that of Ogouchi Juri, then either Ogiuchi Juri was lying, or...

However, in any case, the mobile phone found from Kei Funatsu did show the call record of Juri Ogouchi, and the time was consistent with Fumiko Funatsu's description.

——However, after death, does a person really have a soul?

Inagaki Yui shook her head with a wry smile. She had been sitting at the desk in her room after taking a shower, staring at the phone on the desk in a daze.She is not a real detective, and she can only tell the truth she found, and the verdict and evidence can only be handed over to prosecutors and lawyers.

Since then, Ogiuchi's life has never intersected with her, and she can only return to the daily life she is used to.

The phone suddenly "buzzed" on the desktop and Yui Inagaki was stunned when he saw the message "You have received a new email" displayed on the screen.

The sender is..."Asano-kun".

It's not that I haven't imagined such a scene—I've even imagined it so many times that Yui Inagaki almost spurned herself, and, on the night of exchanging phone numbers, I sent a text message saying that my dream came true...

Dazed by the huge surprise, Yui Inagaki stared at the email in the mailbox, and didn't dare to open it for a long time.

——What if Asano-san just sent the wrong text message with trembling hands?

——In case there is an additional email in a while saying that it was sent by mistake...

——Even if Asano-san sent the message correctly, how should she reply to the text message? !

Yui Inagaki was staring at the phone as if he had seen a ghost.

After a while, she stretched out her index finger tremblingly and tapped the screen. After switching the window, the content of the email was displayed in front of her eyes.

[Good evening, this is Asano Gakushuu.Are you free right now? ]

"!!!"

Inagaki Yui's already intense heartbeat made her feel even more uncomfortable. She looked around her room to make sure that she was not dreaming.

Very good, every detail of the room is clear.

But why didn't that unreal dream-like feeling go away?

She pinched her arm hard, and the pain made her gasp.

——It was definitely not a dream.

Love is really a wonderful thing—after falling in love with Asano Gakuhide, Inagaki Yui felt this way for the umpteenth time.Just like now, obviously just two simple sentences can make her uneasy and her heart beat endlessly.And before, even just a look from Asano Xuexiu was enough to make her happy for a long time.

That strange intertwined feeling of joy and uneasiness sometimes reassures her incomparably.

But driven by this feeling... Inagaki Yui did countless stupid actions that made her feel that she was absolutely doomed.

Therefore, before the only option left is to drag Xiaozhen to register, you still have to work hard!

The first step in the effort is to answer emails well.

...But what should be the answer?

It must be too perfunctory and indifferent to just reply "free time", and it might make Asano-san feel that he hates him; adding facial expressions will make people feel disgusted by pretending to be cute... Yui Inagaki At this time, I really miss those "Please reply to letter x" series of games that I deleted after downloading and playing a few times. improved.

—— Miko Shiba Mikoto is a bloody example.

After hesitating for a long time, Inagaki Yui carefully typed a few words on the soft keyboard.

[Good evening~ Of course I'm free ww]

...Will it be obvious that she has a good impression of him?

Inagaki Yui bit her lip and pondered for a few seconds, replaced "of course" with "really", but still felt something was not right.

[Good evening, I'm free. ]

Just, that's it!

It wasn't until the email over there came back that Yui Inagaki realized that she stared at the phone for a full 5 minutes after sending the email.

After receiving one email from her crush, Inagaki Yui was able to calm down a little when she received the second email - of course, this is what she thought.When she poked open the contents of the email, she was still so shocked that she almost threw her phone to the ground.

[I heard that you were looking for a hearing aid, sorry, I forgot to give it to you. ]

Attached is a photo of the hearing aid.

how come……

Inagaki Yui stared at the photo, and his brain, which was not very clear due to the heating up, froze directly.

From the looks of it, the hearing aid wasn't damaged... It's even worse, she had kept the hearing aid turned off before!Right now, I can only pray that Asano-san didn't realize this, otherwise, it would be—

"Uh……"

Looking at the text message that was added, Inagaki Yui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

[Maybe because it fell on the ground, it was turned off when I picked it up, but it wasn't damaged much, and the function should still be intact.I have time on weekends, let's make an appointment to pick it up. ]

Such an unquestionable style... abruptly omitted the sentence "When will Asano-san have time" that should have been there.

However, is the location still up to her?

[Is the nearest station to the east of the school okay? ]

[Can. ]

Seeing the simple and clear words, Yui Inagaki's face became hot.

——Could it be that this is the legendary date? !

——That’s not true, Yui Inagaki, you are thinking too much!

There seemed to be two little people fighting in her mind, one encouraged her to seize the opportunity and hurry up, and the other was pulling her desperately to calm her down.

Yui Inagaki has indeed calmed down.

When Shintaro knocked on the door, she let the two villains stay where they were cool.

"Come in...what's the matter, Xiaozhen?"

The smile on Yui Inagaki's face was as sincere as if the phone she was holding behind her back didn't exist.

However, Inagaki Shintaro, who doesn't know his sister better, just glanced at her right hand behind her back, and said, "Is he texting with Asano?"

"..." Inagaki Yui threw the phone on the bed boredly, watching it bounce twice on the bed and landed on the pillow, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"First of all, I have no intention of reconciling."

Not to be outdone, she replied, "Me too."

"...But, there is one thing, I must remind you," Inagaki Shintaro leaned against the door frame expressionlessly, and said lightly, "Be careful, I feel that Asano's purpose is not that simple."

"……what?"

Yui Inagaki blinked her eyes, the tacit understanding from birth to the present made her understand that this "purpose" that Shintaro said was not the other "purpose": "No problem, I understand."

With her crush who has been unrequitedly in love for three years, and her twin brother who has been with her for more than 15 years, who should she trust—there is no doubt about this question.

but……

She looked at the email interface between the two of them back and forth, with complicated eyes.

Let's just believe it once, it would be great if we don't get disappointed.
