Chapter 207 Pot and Carpet
"What are you talking about, big sister?"
Maplehara looked innocent, "I haven't been to London yet!"
His and Haibara Ai's names were not on the plane list for London at all, so no matter what the people in front of him thought, Maplehara would never admit it.
"Yeah?"
"Sister, have you seen anyone who looks like me in London? You must have mistaken the person..."
"Oh, that's how it is…"
Sera Masumi did not stick to the London topic, "However, the relationship between you and Kudo is really good. He actually feels comfortable letting a kid like you do such a dangerous thing..."
"Yes, I have a very good relationship with Shinichi-san," Fengyuan glanced at his watch, "Ah, no, it's already so late. Can you let me go back?"
"Okay! Say hello to Kudo Shinichi for me!"
Kudo Shinichi hung up the phone as soon as he finished reasoning, so Sera Masumi felt there was no need to follow Dr. Agasa's house.
The key thing is...
She used to think that Conan was Kudo Shinichi, but now that she saw another child, she realized that she might have thought things too simply.
We can't both be Kudo Shinichi...
Sera Masumi watched the child leave her sight in the night with mixed thoughts, and then turned back to the hotel where she and her mother were temporarily staying, planning to discuss it with her mother first.
Feng Principle breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked a few steps and stopped at the corner.
Hui Yuan Ai leaned against the wall, covered her mouth and yawned.
"I'm sorry," Feng Yuan was presumptuous, "I kept this lovely girl waiting for so long..."
"Hmph," Haiyuan Ai rolled his eyes at Fengyuan, walked to him and went home with him, "Does she doubt your identity?"
"Yes, but she probably just guessed that I am not Conan. As for other things...she has other things in mind..."
Sera was probably because her mother had also shrunk. Combined with Conan's performance at Wimbledon, she thought that Kudo Shinichi might also have shrunk.
However, Fengyuan felt that unless her mother also became two, it would be difficult for her to think of splitting.
Just as he was thinking this, Feng Yuan noticed that Hai Yuan Ai raised his arm in front of him, and then sniffed it gently.
"What, what's wrong?" Fengyuan was slightly stunned.
"Smell to see if there is any smell of tissue," Haiyuan Ai sniffed again before letting go and looking at Fengyuan, "Isn't it okay?"
"...your radar doesn't respond when you're in London..."
And that’s not what you said about the bus incident...
Radar is just a wonderful intuition, not based on smell...
"Ah, really? I can't remember clearly," Haiyuan Ai snorted, "And it doesn't matter if I double check..."
"Then...is it confirmed now?"
"...No." Haihara Ai whispered, a little more seriously, "Kudo, she came here from London, she is probably here for us..."
She had also heard the previous conversation between Maplehara and Conan. Based on the other party's behavior just now, she could tell that the man named Sera was obviously interested in Maplehara and Conan.
"I will pay attention..."
Fengyuan took Haiyuan Ai's hand and explained, "Also, I was suspected by her because I resisted her hugging me..."
…
The hijacking incident was over and they lived a peaceful life for a few days.
In the past few days, on a whim, the doctor went to his warehouse where he kept debris and sorted it out. He found an old-looking pot and an old carpet.
When Feng Yuan and Hai Yuan Ai came back from school, they saw this old carpet spread in the living room, and the doctor stood on the carpet holding the pot.
"Xiao Kong, Xiao Ai!" The doctor showed the things in his hands to the two people who had just changed their shoes, "Look what treasure I found?"
"Pot?" Hui Yuan Ai asked curiously.
"Isn't this a strange invention you had before, Doctor?"
"No!" said the doctor, "This is a treasure I bought a few years ago! Come and help me see if it is valuable?"
Haihara Ai was very interested in this. She walked to the doctor and took the pot and looked at it carefully, "Doctor, don't you remember the original price?"
"I don't remember," the doctor shook his head, "and I just watched a lot of videos online. This pot may be worth much more than the price I paid for it..."
Fengyuan also came over, lightly stamped his feet and felt the carpet before moving closer to Haibara Ai to look at it together, "So, doctor, do you want to sell this pot?"
"Yeah...it's of no use leaving it at home."
The doctor touched his head in embarrassment, "And I've recently been obsessed with videos of selling babies online..."
"How's it going? Did Mr. Detective see anything?" Haiyuan Ai raised his eyes to look at Feng Yuan.
"It can't be that easy!" Fengyuan replied, "And it's better to have professionals identify this kind of thing, right?"
"Ah, I thought you learned antique appraisal when you were in Hawaii..."
"I'm really sorry, I haven't studied before. But didn't the doctor say that he is obsessed with videos of selling babies?" Fengyuan glanced at the camera on the table, "Are you planning to take a video and post it online?"
"Yes, yes... I'll wait until you come back..."
The video shooting was taken over by Haihara Ai.
She knew very well that she could not appear in the video. She had rarely had this experience before, so she was very interested in making videos.
She was standing by the carpet holding the camera, Feng Yuan was watching, and the doctor was standing on the carpet, holding a pot and posing, saying the lines he had already thought of.
"This is a pot that I think is very good! Can someone help me identify it?"
"Okay." Hui Yuan Ai said, "That's it."
The shooting is over.
The doctor wiped his sweat and retaken the photo several times.
"Let me see..." He put down the pot, walked to Haiyuan Ai, and watched the video he just took with Fengyuan, "It's not bad...it's similar to those videos on the Internet..."
"That's it? I'll get it into the computer..."
"Ah, let me do it!" Fengyuan volunteered, "Let me participate too. I'm learning video technology recently... I'll try to see if I can make the doctor slimmer..."
"Really?" The doctor looked happy.
"Just kid yourself!"
Haiyuan Ai glared at the doctor and handed the camera to Fengyuan, "Then I'll go to the basement first and call me when you're done."
"Um."
Watching Haihara Ai walk towards the basement, Fengyuan sat down at the table and turned on the computer.
Although he was choked just now, the doctor still moved forward expectantly, wanting to see Feng Yuan make himself look thinner. Then he saw Feng Yuan directly enlarge the glasses he was wearing in the video.
A clear picture was reflected on the lens. In the picture, Haihara Ai was holding a camera to shoot a video.
"This, this..." The doctor was stunned for a moment.
This video is to be uploaded to the Internet. If Haihara Ai's appearance is also uploaded to the Internet, it may attract the attention of the people in the organization.
"It's okay..." Fengyuan said, "Just take care of it..."
"You've noticed it a long time ago, right, Xiao Kong?" The doctor glanced towards the basement and lowered his voice, "Why didn't you remind me and Xiao Ai just now?"
"Because you were in high spirits and looked happy at that time. I don't want to spoil the fun..." Fengyuan operated the computer, "Don't worry, doctor, it's okay."
He also didn't want Haiyuan to be walking on thin ice at home. She had been careful not to appear in the video.
…
Two days later, the young detective team came to the doctor's house to make curry.
Haibara Ai and Ayumi were the two chefs. Conan sat on the carpet and studied the pot, while Maplehara watched his progress.
The doctor was attracted by the color and aroma of the curry in the pot. He couldn't help but walk to the pot and swallowed.
"Oh! The delicious-looking curry is ready!"
"Yeah!" Ayumi looked happy, "As long as you have this, it will be normal for Genta to eat several bowls of rice!"
Haihara Ai was also in a very good mood, "The next step is to cover the pot and let it simmer."
"Really? Let me taste it first..." As he said that, the doctor reached out for the spoon.
Haiyuan Ai, who was already alert, slapped the doctor's hand away, and then glanced at the bowl held in the doctor's other hand angrily, "I don't want to taste it for someone who comes with a whole bowl of rice! "
"mean."
"By the way, don't you know yet? The value of that pot?" Haihara Ai looked at Feng Yuan and Conan sitting on the carpet.
"As I said," Fengyuan replied. He had already studied it after coming back from school in the past two days. "This pot is not that important..."
"Impossible!" the doctor argued, "Many people have already paid attention to my video! There are also several likes!"
"Hey..." Doctor, where is your focus?
"Right now, I only know that it is a very old pot," Conan looked it up on the computer. "I still don't know when it was made and who made it..."
His appraisal level is no higher than Maplehara's, and now he just wants to make comparisons online by describing the characteristics of the pots.
However, the other self should have done such a basic thing, and Conan didn't have high expectations for the value of the pot.
"Well..." Fengyuan glanced at the clock in the living room, "It's time for Mitsuhiko and Genta to come back..."
outside the house.
Genta and Mitsuhiko walked to the doctor's house carrying large and small bags of things.
"Eat curry today! I'll have curry for lunch! And by the way, I'll have curry at night!" Gentai sang as he walked.
"Yuan, Yuantai...even though it was the doctor who paid for it, you bought too much, right? All they asked us to buy was drinks, right?"
"What does it matter! Wouldn't it be better to have Masked Superman chocolates and Masked Superman snacks? Moreover, Maplehara and Conan asked me to buy mystery novels and football magazines! I also bought the yogurt you like, Mitsuhiko!"
"That's great!"
"Hey, you two!" As they were talking, someone called out to them, "Do you know Dr. Ali here?"
"Yes, yes..." Mitsuhiko and Genta looked back and realized that they had seen the person who called them.
"Ah, you were walking with Conan's sister..."
"It's indeed a woman!" Mitsuhiko said.
"Yes, my name is Sera Masumi!"
"But it's still a little weird not having breasts!"
"Yes, yes." Mitsuhiko agreed with Genta's words.
"It will get bigger in the future!" Sera Masumi defended, "Yes, yes, thank you for last time! I heard that you also helped in the last incident, right? I am also one of the hostages!"
"Is that so?"
"That's thanks to the investigation of our young detective team!"
Although they were urged to go to bed by Conan and the doctor soon after they returned that day, when they got up the next day, Maplehara and others said that they had been a great help.
"Are you with that Kudo Shinichi?" Sera Zhenzhen asked.
"Yes... When we woke up in the morning, the doctor told us that in the end, a high school detective whom he knew came over and solved the incident."
Mitsuhiko replied subconsciously before he reacted, "Ah, but Feng Yuan told us that this is a secret..."
"Oh... Maplehara..." Sera Masumi said thoughtfully, "That's the kid who looks exactly like Conan, right?"
"Huh? Have you met Conan?"
"yes…"
"Conan said you were a boy, and we thought you had never met... However, Maplehara and Conan are twins... they have different surnames for some reasons..."
Sera Masumi had already learned this information from Ran, so she didn't pay attention to it. Instead, she looked up at the second floor of Kudo Shin's house next to her, where the curtains were open.
"But why should Kudo's affairs be kept secret? Isn't his home next door?" Masumi Sera asked.
"I don't know... It seems that he is not at home usually. It is said that he came back that day to pick up something he forgot and stopped by the doctor's house..."
To get something I forgot... The kid had the same excuse when he went to Mori's house that day...
Is it a coincidence? Or is that just this kind of thinking...
"But isn't there someone here now?" Thinking to himself, Masumi Sera then asked, "I just saw the curtains shaking a little..."
"Ah, that must be..."
"Brother Subaru!"
"The apartment he lives in is on fire, so he's staying here temporarily!"
"Hmm...I thought someone took the opportunity to settle down there! It seems I was overly worried..."
Sera Masumi said and turned to leave.
Genta and Mitsuhiko watched this strange girl leave their sight, and then walked towards the door of the doctor's house. Before they could put the bag on the ground and ring the doorbell, they found that the door was opened.
"I thought you two weren't going to come in..." Fengyuan helped take a few bags, "Who are you talking to?"
In fact, he could hear it and just mentioned it casually.
"That's the sister that Conan thought was a boy..."
"She said her name is Sera Masumi!"
"But she seems to be more interested in Kudo Shinichi who lives next door...Ah, by the way, I just remembered that he seems to be Conan's sister's boyfriend..."
With that said, entering the doctor's house, Genta and Mitsuhiko were immediately attracted by the smell of curry, leaving the matter of Sera Masumi behind.
“It smells so good!”
"Is it ready to eat?"
"Not yet!" Hui Yuan Ai replied.
"About thirty minutes left!"
"But..." Genta showed a confused expression, "Shouldn't there be something to eat? I will eat something before the official meal..."
"Eat before meal...you mean appetizer?" Mitsuhiko said.
"That's right! How about some curry as an appetizer, and then eat the curry properly during the meal?"
"Can't!"
"Yanta and the doctor are both too greedy!"
"Ah, nothing happens, it's so hard!"
Genta was tangled over there. Maplehara separated the books and magazines in the bag and prepared to put them back next to his bed. Mitsuhiko came closer to Conan, "Conan, what are you doing?"
"The pot that my investigation doctor dug out from the warehouse... It seems that it would be better to let the appraisal experts take a look..."
"Ah... it's the one that the doctor put on the video website to show off... Wouldn't it be better to just ask Fengyuan about this? I remember he said that this pot is not important..."
yes! Maplehara said it was unimportant, not worthless...
Damn it, that guy must have discovered something that he hasn't noticed yet...
"No! I have to figure it out myself! Hey! Doctor, do you really not remember? Who did you buy this pot from..."
"Yeah..." the doctor replied, "I just remember that I bought it on the free market a few years ago. Together with the carpet you are sitting on now..."
"Huh? Is it this worn-out carpet?"
"I found it with the pot and put it on the bed..."
Just as he was talking, a football fell next to Conan, almost hitting the pot, and then bounced up, startling him.
"Hey, Genta!" Although I didn't pay attention, I didn't need to think about Conan to know that it must have been Genta who did it, "No playing football in the room!"
"There's nothing I can do! I'm almost starving to death..."
"Then eat some of the snacks you bought first," said Fengyuan, who came back, "but you can only eat your own portion..."
"Very good!"
Yuantai looked happy and walked towards the snacks on the table. The football he had just kicked landed at his feet after a few bounces. Without thinking, he kicked the football and said, "Yo!"
Feng Yuan's brows jumped, and he had a bad feeling as he watched the football hit the ceiling.
"ah…"
Ayumi raised her head to look at the football in the air, and then, like everyone else, she watched the football bounce towards the big pot of curry next to her.
Football was thrown into the pot.
Curry instantly splashed all over Ayumi.
Ayumi couldn't help but cry after several hours of hard work were in vain, and her whole body was drenched in curry.
Snapped--
A few minutes later.
After careful inspection, Ayumi was fine. Haihara Ai gave her a set of his clothes and asked her to take a shower, and then came to the door to change her shoes expressionlessly.
She still had to go shopping.
"I was wrong…"
Yuantai stood nearby with his head lowered, with clear slap marks on his face, and a look of shame on his face, "I reflect..."
"Say it again! Say it from your heart!" Hui Yuan Ai stared back with an unkind look on his face, as if his hair had exploded.
"Yes...I'm really reflecting..."
"Okay, okay... let's do this for now..."
"It's so good! It makes us have to buy new ingredients for making curry!"
"So let's go buy it..."
"If I let you guys go shopping, wouldn't you end up buying some messy things? Feng Yuan and I will go! You guys should tidy up the room for me!"
"Yes Yes…"
"Okay," Fengyuan turned around and said after changing his shoes, "You guys go and pack up quickly... Haiyuan and I will go back as soon as we go..."
"Uh-huh…"
Haiyuan Ai snorted, followed Fengyuan out of the door and then turned around again, "I'll say it first! Kojima-san is only allowed to eat one bowl of curry this time!"
"ah?"
"Absolutely! It doesn't matter if you don't eat a bowl!" Conan said and quickly closed the door, "Then we will wait for you to come back!"
After closing the door, Feng Yuan and Hui Yuan Ai walked away, and the few people in the room relaxed a little. Hai Yuan Ai's momentum just now made them feel as if their lives were hanging by a thread.
"Haiyuan is more fierce than my mother..."
"You should reflect on yourself, Yuanta!" Conan said, "Okay, hurry up and clean up, really..."
Outside the house, Feng Yuan glanced behind him from the corner of his eye.
Okiya Subaru also followed out, following from a distance, but what Kaedehara cared about was not him, but a car near the doctor's house.
It seems that the car has been there for a while...
Thinking in his mind, Fengyuan turned to look at Haiyuan Ai, who was still walking on the road with a cold face, "Haiyuan, don't be angry..."
"How can you not be angry!"
Haiyuan Ai replied, but after all, Yuantai was not here, and she was facing Fengyuan again, so her tone was softer, "Fortunately, the curry will not be ready for half an hour...the temperature is not high..."
Haiyuan Ai paused for a moment, feeling lingering fear, "Otherwise Yoshida would have to be sent to the hospital..."
Of course she wasn't so angry because she had to do it all over again, although she was definitely upset. I said that before because I didn't want to affect the relationship between Genta and Ayumi. After all, Ayumi herself wasn't too angry.
"Yes, yes..."
"When a child does something wrong, you must let him know! Otherwise, he will do it again next time! Or even get worse!"
"That's right!" Fengyuan agreed honestly.
"And you!"
"ah?"
"It's all because of you! Xiaodao plays football in the room, and you let him eat snacks..."
"Yes, yes..."
"Really, I will be spoiled by you sooner or later! If in the future -"
As Hui Yuan Ai spoke, he suddenly stopped talking. An imperceptible blush flashed across his face, and then the blush disappeared.
"What's in the future?" After waiting for a while but there was no follow-up, Fengyuan looked at Haiyuan Ai and asked.
"No, it's nothing..." Haiyuan Ai turned away his head, "Forget it, let's not talk about this, I still have to go shopping..."
