A Sorcerer in the Detective World

"Ah? Sister Xiaolan, have you received the gift?"

In the toilet of the office, the Conan kid who was peeping came out, pretending to be surprised.

"Well, yes~" Xiaolan turned to look at Conan, smiling with narrowed eyes, "...it was sent by a stinking idiot reasoning idiot..."

"Uh..." Conan's mouth twitched twice when he heard this exclusive title - what a stinking idiot reasoning idiot! This title made him want to vomit blood...

"...Sister Xiaolan, are you talking about Brother Shinichi?" Conan complained in his heart, walked up to Xiaolan, then used his bad acting skills, said "Wow" and looked at the bracelet in Xiaolan's hand:

"...Is the gift Brother Shinichi gave you a bracelet?! This orange bracelet seems to be the one that Sister Xiaolan liked very much this afternoon, right?"

"Huh? It seems to be true!" Xiaolan tilted her head, blinked, picked up the bracelet and looked at it seriously.

The Conan kid then said in a cute way: "...The gift from Brother Shinichi happens to be the one that Sister Xiaolan likes the most! Sister Xiaolan, you must be very happy, right?"

After Conan finished speaking, he looked at Xiaolan expectantly, waiting for Xiaolan to say "happy".

"Uh..." Xiaolan put on the bracelet, looked at it twice, and then suddenly said, "...I really like this orange bracelet, but this afternoon I went to other stores with Sister Shumei, Heye and the others. When I was there, I found a red bracelet, which was much better than this one... I really like red the best..."

"Huh?" After listening to Xiaolan's words, Conan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, with a black line on his forehead——

He bought a gift for Xiaolan, but Xiaolan didn't like it? Don't wait to hit people like this!

"Then, sister Xiaolan, don't you like this gift?" Conan asked dejectedly.

"Yes! I don't like it, not at all!" Xiaolan had a smile on her face, looking at the bracelet on her wrist, turning her wrist with a look of joy, "...that idiot reasoning idiot, leaving so much for the case I haven’t been back for a long time, I haven’t made many calls, and the bracelet I was given is not my favorite color red, so how could I possibly be happy~”

As Xiaolan spoke, she put away the gift box, hummed and skipped to the door of the office, and turned to look at the confused Conan:

"...Conan, come out quickly, it's late, we have to rest!"

"Uh...yes!" Conan smiled and nodded.

He breathed a sigh of relief——

Is Xiaolan being arrogant? The arrogant Xiaolan is so... so cute~

…

At eight o'clock the next morning.

In the bedroom, Shu Yunwen was still lying on the bed, soundly asleep, when suddenly there was a "dong-dong" knock on the door.

Shu Yunwen woke up in a daze, yawned loudly, looked sleepily at the bedroom door that was still banging, and said helplessly: "Huiyuan? Stop knocking, I'll get up right now."

"Hurry up, sister has already prepared the best breakfast." Haiyuan Ai's voice came. Shu Yunwen picked up the alarm clock on the bedside and took a look at it, then yawned again——

Damn it! It's only eight o'clock! Today is obviously Sunday, so we usually sleep until nine o'clock, okay?

Complaining in his heart, Shu Yunwen lifted the quilt and got up. After a brief wash, he walked to the dining table. When he saw Loli Ai opposite, he was stunned:

"...You look very sleepy...didn't you sleep well last night?"

"It's not that I didn't sleep well, it's that I didn't sleep at all." Loli'ai looked sleepy, "...I'm not as big-hearted as you. Last night, I was thinking about APTX-4869. The whole night, I didn’t even close my eyes..."

"You are really..." Shu Yunwen shook his head, and then said, "Yes! After dinner, we will go to Mihua University to ask about the news about Eriko Yunichi... By the way, didn't the person named Tsuchiya say yesterday , Dongryu Shanghei also went to help Yunichi Eriko pack things when we moved. In that case, let’s just go and visit Dongryu Shanghei together..."

"Yeah." Hui Yuarai nodded and ate breakfast absentmindedly.

Shu Yunwen finished his breakfast quickly, then walked to the phone and called Donglong Shangping's mobile phone.

The call was quickly connected, and Donglong Shangping's voice came from the other side: "Hello, I am Donglong Shangping, may I ask who you are..."

"Hello, Professor Donglong, I am Shu Yunwen, do you remember?" Shu Yunwen introduced himself.

"Are you Mr. Yunwen? Of course I remember that." Donglong Shangping responded immediately, and then asked, "...Sir Yunwen, what's the matter with your call? Is there something wrong with the equipment in the laboratory?" Problem?"

"No, there is no problem." Shu Yunwen said, turning to look at Hui Yuan Ai who was eavesdropping next to him, and simply turned on the external playback function, "...That's it, Professor Donglong, do you know Yun Ms. Eriko Ichi? We have some things that we would like to find out from her..."

"Eriko? We know each other..." Toryu Shanghei on the other side of the phone was a little surprised, "...but Eriko passed away three months ago..."

"What?!" Shu Yunwen and Hui Yuan Ai both exclaimed, "Ms. Yun Yi has passed away? How did she die?"

"...She died in an accident, right?" Toryu Shanghei replied, "...Three months ago, our pilgrim group from Shomeiji Temple went to Yokohama for vacation together. While we were playing by the river, Eriko left alone. Then she never came back. Later, when we found her again, she was already dead. It was said that she was drowned..."

"Accidentally drowned?" Shu Yunwen and Hui Yuan Ai looked at each other and frowned together, and then Hui Yuan Ai asked again:

"...Professor Donglong, this is Haibara. I would like to ask, six months ago, when Professor Sakaguchi Ryukawa passed away and Ms. Yun Yi sold the house, did you ever go there to help move and pack things?"

"That's right, Ryukawa, Shizuka, and their daughter Souyu and I are all old acquaintances. After Ryukawa passed away, Eriko and I went to pack things together... But how did you know?" Donglong Shangping sounded surprised.

"Uh..." Shu Yunwen coughed lightly and covered it up casually, "...This is not important. Professor Donglong, may I ask, when you helped pack things, did you find an old laptop?"

"Laptop?" Donglong Shangping thought for a moment, and then said, "...As for a laptop, there is indeed one. I also saw that laptop when I visited Longchuan before. Tinglong Chuan said that it was a relic left by his wife Shizuka..."

"That's it!" Haiyuan Ai was extremely excited, "Excuse me, where is that laptop?"

"That computer is in my hand now." Toryu Shanghei replied with a smile, "...Because Eriko doesn't know how to use computers, but I am very interested in computers, so I want to come over... However, it seems that the notebook It broke and couldn't be turned on, so I put it in the utility room of the university laboratory..."

"... Speaking of which, I originally wanted to throw it away, but after all, it was something left by an old friend, so I kept it..."

"That's it..." Shu Yunwen and Loli Ai both breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Mr. Donglong, we would like to borrow that laptop now, is that okay?"

"It's no problem to borrow..." Donglong Shanghei was a little strange, "...but, I'm not in Tokyo now, and it should be noon when I get back... Well, you guys go to my exclusive laboratory in the Department of Pharmacy of Mihua University at two o'clock in the afternoon. Come, I'll wait for you there..."

"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Donglong." Shu Yunwen thanked you, said a few more polite words, and hung up the phone——

That laptop finally has a clue!
