Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

Chapter 460: Rooftop Leaking

Osaka Chocolate is very tiring.

He felt that his like-minded detective partner was being "led astray" by another friend.

This situation fits the saying "playthings ruin one's ambition" very well.

"Won!"

"Ah - damn, just a little bit!"

Conan put down the controller in annoyance, picked up the drink beside him and took two sips.

Yun Xianhe shook the handle in his hand and smiled slyly:

"You're still a little short of beating me."

"Come again, come again!"

The young detective’s main character is someone who never gives up.

For some reason, he felt that his gaming skills had improved and he could actually fight back and forth with Brother Xianhe.

The stand-in robot, who seldom played games, was eager to try and immediately agreed.

The situation seems to be evenly matched, but in fact it is a fight between weaklings.

"Kudou! Xianhe! Did you hear what I said?"

Osaka Chocolate shouts super loud.

He attacked directly from behind, put his arm around one of the men's shoulders, and nearly knocked Yun Xianhe to the ground with such force.

The little detective, who was pushed to the point of staggering, looked back at him with half-moon eyes:

"You're going to kill us both."

"Ah, hahahaha... Sorry, that's not right, it's you who won't listen to me!"

"Ha... my bad. So, what happened to the fire?"

When Conan asked this, Hattori was instantly happy.

He unfolded the newspaper like a child sharing a toy, and pointed to the two news reports at the top to show Conan:

"Look, the explosion we heard yesterday evening was one of them. It seems that the accident was caused by the explosion of fireworks caused by residents who had stored a large amount of fireworks and stored them improperly."

"Hey - fireworks."

Yun Xianhe took two sips of his drink and sighed.

He wanted to play along, too.

Conan read the report carefully and repeatedly looked at the photos of the fire scene in the two buildings.

There is absolutely no problem. The only suspicious point is probably the phrase "stockpiling a large amount of fireworks".

"Accident?"

Hattori rubbed his chin and muttered:

“I always feel like something is weird.”

"There were no casualties... Look, the owner of the house himself admitted that it was their fault."

The two looked in the direction of Yun Xianhe's finger.

Indeed, in the interview with the reporter, both homeowners insisted that the fire in the house was an accident and not man-made.

It's so certain that I can't tell what's weird about it.

Is it such a coincidence?

Seeing the two people frowning, Yun Xianhe spread his hands:

"Even if there really is a grudge, if the parties involved do not take the initiative to pursue the matter, even if you do find out something, neither side will admit it."

Hearing this, Hattori sighed:

"That's right."

"You guy, I should let you go on a date with He Ye."

"Idiot! Who wants to date that guy? You are the one, why don't you go find your sister Xiaolan?"

"…Don't bother talking! It's raining outside! Who wants to go out and play?"

The big and the small started arguing again.

'Yun Xianhe' leaned to the side on the sofa and tilted his head to look at the continuous rain outside the window.

“It’s raining…”

·

"Ah!"

Lying on the bed, Toru Amuro frowned in pain.

Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was standing by, took a look at the thermometer and put the wrung-out cold towel back on the other person's forehead.

"It's okay, it's not too serious, just take a good rest."

"I'm sorry Hiro, I'm causing you trouble. It hurts!"

Zhu Fu Jingguang withdrew his hand that was about to hit the other person's head.

Looking at the person with frowned brows, he said with a smile:

"So, why did you catch a cold? Zero, you weren't going to get caught in the rain, were you?"

Someone's body stiffened in bed.

The person who had his eyes closed slowly opened them a little, and looked with a guilty conscience at You Xunran who was standing beside the bed and smiling particularly gently.

Amuro Toru felt inexplicably scared.

He smiled ingratiatingly at Zhu Fujingguang, cleared his throat which was a little tight due to the cold, and argued in a low voice:

"I'm not a child, how could I possibly get wet in the rain? Actually, it's because..."

Next, Toru Amuro told Keimitsu Morobushi what happened to him on the rooftop yesterday.

However, he omitted the fact that the robot in the middle said he didn't rest well.

Hearing that Amuro Toru was placed in the stairwell, Zhu Fushi Keimitsu nodded:

"So, Zero caught a cold because he slept there?"

"No, because the stairwell is leaking."

"..."

No matter how many precautions you take, the only thing you can't prevent is rain leaks.

Toru Amuro was in despair when he woke up to find that half of his body was wet and he couldn't get free.

Fortunately, he was able to move a little and avoid the leak.

Even more desperate than him was Ireland, who was on the rooftop at the time.

026 The small shed made of disposable chopsticks and plastic sheeting did indeed perfectly block the rain from falling on the other person's face.

But because the part of the body bag containing his face was exposed, all the rain flowed in through the gaps around it.

Ireland, who was forced to take a cold bath in a body bag, was even sicker than he was.

If the people from the winery had not arrived in time, there might have been another body on the rooftop.

"Zero, are you sure your body..."

Zhu Fu Jingguang seemed to be hesitant to speak and his eyes moved to the other person's arm.

There are three tiny pinholes there, which are impossible to detect unless you look carefully.

Although Amuro Toru said that he caught a cold because of being caught in the rain, what if it was actually an adverse reaction to the drug rejection...

After hearing this, Toru Amuro paused and said hesitantly:

"I had a checkup before I came back this morning, and there was indeed nothing wrong. Gin also took the shot, and it was said that the physical examination report showed that he had gotten better. Also, although I feel a little dizzy now, I am in better condition than when I was sick before."

"What is that potion used for?"

"I heard it can help you sleep, um, and restore your body's functions."

Zhu Fu Jingguang, who keenly heard the word "sleep aid", raised his eyebrows.

He carefully looked at his little boy's face and narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Zero."

"Ok?"

"You've had a good rest recently, right?"

The black-skinned golden retriever felt his heart skip a beat when he suddenly heard this question.

However, as a man who has been wandering in the dark for many years and has superb acting skills, how could he let the other party see the flaws?

Then, someone who was not showing his expression showed a weak smile and said half-jokingly:

"Of course, if I don't rest well, won't it end badly?"

I was caught by those guys last time, and then we had a friendly exchange.

"You should also pay more attention to rest on weekdays."

To some extent, Zhu Fu Jingguang felt that his own son Xiao Xunran was the same as Yun Xianhe.

It’s just as worrying.

Being stared at by Zhu Fu Jingguang, the person curled up in the quilt moved uncomfortably.

It's not that I feel guilty.

It’s just that I haven’t been taken care of like this in a long time... I’m a little uncomfortable.

Amuro Toru looked at Morobushi Keimitsu who seemed to be planning to stay with him for a day, and asked casually:

"Aren't you going back to look after Xianhe?"
