Chapter 11 Destiny

After the attack on the police station, Hattori Heiji rushed over from Osaka with Kazuha, and two women, Ye and Xiaolan, went shopping in the mall every day. They got together very well, so Conan was kicked out of Detective Mori Kogoro Heiji and Hattori stayed at the doctor's house temporarily.

"What a long-winded woman, Kudo, how can you bear it?" Hattori Heiji leaned his elbows back on the iron railing beside the mall, and yawned boredly.

"Hehe." Conan could only answer this way, every time Xiaolan dragged him to the shopping mall, basically he was in a fugue state.

Hattori saw that Kazuha and Xiaolan were choosing clothes with great interest, and didn't notice this side, so he leaned over and asked quietly: "Kudou, how is it going over there?"

"Hatbu..." Conan knew what Hattori wanted to ask, but he didn't want to involve Hattori in the water, so since Hattori Heiji came, he didn't go out aimlessly looking for Gin. This kind of groundless search will only be constantly teased That's all.

"You idiot, don't tell me that your head was hit by a brick, just that idiot Kazuba will believe it." Hattori Heiji stopped the conversation before Kudo's sophistry, because of some inexplicable premonition, although he I don't want my best friend and old enemy to have too much involvement with the members of the Black Organization, but if Kudo insists, he will of course face it with Kudo.

"There is no clue." Conan replied truthfully. After the shooting that day, he lied to Xiaolan that his head injury was caused by falling on the ground and hitting a brick. believe.However, he has never heard from Gin since then, and seeing that today is the last day, he has little time left.

"Kudou, why are you so eager to find the Black Organization? Aren't you afraid that they will find out your real identity? What happened in the days when you disappeared?" Hattori Heiji vaguely felt that the Black Organization had noticed Kudo Shin One's true identity, but according to this reasoning, it is impossible for Kudo to stand here safely now, the black organization must have already attacked Kudo.

"Hattori, I want to go back to Xiaolan." Conan looked at Xiaolan who was happily choosing clothes in the store, his happy and contented appearance shone with soft brilliance, which made people feel weak in the bottom of their hearts.

"Kudou, I support you." Speaking of Kudo's childhood sweetheart Mori Ran, Hattori Heiji instantly understood why Kudo was eager to find out the black organization. Of course, this was also the result of Conan's deliberate misleading.

At this time, Xiaolan in the store seemed to feel some kind of call, and waved to Conan: "Conan, what do you think of this?"

"Sister Xiaolan, it's very pretty." Faced with this situation, Conan could only pretend to be obedient, and smiled.

Xiaolan was very happy to hear that, and paid directly by credit card. He Ye also bought some clothes and a pair of shoes.

After shopping, the two sisters went back to do hair and beauty, and only then did the two men realize something was wrong.

Hattori and Conan sat on the lounge chair, communicating with each other with their eyes.

Hattori turned his back to Kazuha and Xiaolan, and winked at Conan - what the hell are these two women doing?

Conan squinted at Hattori—hey, that's your woman, you don't even know?

Hattori gave Conan a blank look—did you know?

The two looked at each other for a moment, both were defeated, and finally decided that the "big man" Hattori Heiji would ask the question.

But before Hattori asked, the cell phone in Conan's pocket rang.

Conan took out his mobile phone and saw that the caller ID was Xiaolan.

When Xiaolan heard the phone ringing, she couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound, which was the direction of Conan and Hattori Heiji.

"Sister Xiaolan, I'll go out and answer the doctor's call." Conan jumped off the wooden chair, waved to Xiaolan with his mobile phone, and then opened the door to leave.

Hattori Heiji looked at Conan's leaving figure, and mouthed with his back to Ran and the others: "It's really hard work, Kudo."

Conan hid at the corner of the beauty shop, turned on the bowtie voice changer, and tuned to Kudo Shinichi's voice... It's really embarrassing, obviously he is Kudo Shinichi, but he can't stand in front of Xiaolan openly.

"Lan." Conan took a deep breath and finally got through the phone.

"Xinyi, are you free tonight?" Xiaolan's voice was still so cheerful, like the sunshine in June, which touched Conan's heart on the other end of the phone.

Hearing this, Conan frowned in embarrassment: "Xiao Lan, I still have a..."

"Xinyi, you detective idiot! I don't want to hear any more excuses, go to your case! If you don't come to find me at the place where we had our last date at midnight tonight, you...you don't have to show up again!" Xiaolan Hearing the same rhetoric again, he hung up the phone after speaking harshly.She hasn't seen Xinyi for a long, long time, and the thoughts in her heart have piled up into a sea, but that idiot detective only has his eyes on solving the case, and doesn't understand her feelings at all.

"Lan!" Conan's face changed suddenly. The place where they had their last date happened to be where he was going tonight. He immediately called back, but Xiaolan hung up the phone. He showed up tonight.

"Xiaolan, good job! If Kudo-kun doesn't come tonight, you can dump him!" Yuan Shan and Ye Fang only half-jokingly said when they saw that Xiaolan's face became darker after the phone call.

And Xiaolan just silently looked at the phone in a daze, her eyes full of melancholy and uneasiness.

Lan... The name Conan had repeated countless times in his heart sounded silently again. He held the doorknob of the beauty shop and looked at Xiaolan quietly, unable to take a step.

After dinner in the evening, Conan and Ayumi who came to gather together went to Dorabigar Paradise.

In Sonoko's words, the little ghost must be with the little ghost, don't prevent Xiaolan from dating Kudo-kun.

With his hands behind his head, Conan couldn't help but sighed as he looked at the chattering brats and the three women clasping their shoulders in front of him.

"Kudou, what are you going to do tonight?" Hattori's forehead was also swollen, and the three women were fooling around together, talking to Ye and Sonoko, Xiaolan's attitude became more and more firm.If Kudo doesn't show up later, Xiaolan will definitely be very sad.

"There is no way to meet Xiaolan with this body, so I can only call to explain." Conan frowned, and he cared more about this place than this—the place where he and Gin met for the first time, his body changed. Back to the children's place.

On the day of the deadline, Gin said that he would wait for him at the most familiar place, and this was the only clue Gin left for him.And today he returned to the starting point under the leadership of Xiaolan. Is this a coincidence or the guidance of fate?

"Conan, this looks fun, come here!" Genta grabbed Conan's arm and pulled it forward, and the other two friends also pulled Conan and ran to the bumper car ahead, completely interrupting Conan's meditation.

When the three little guys were tired from playing, it was already 11:30 in the evening, and they followed the flow of people and gradually walked to the brightly lit place in the center of the park.

The square in the center of the park is crowded with people, and there are stalls selling goods on both sides. All kinds of handicrafts, snacks, and juggling are dazzling. The three of Ayumi clamored for snacks, and Yuanzi took them around visit.

Kazuha took Hattori to go on a cruise, and there were dozens of two-person cruise ships floating on the lake in the center of the park at this time, and each cruise ship was lit with lanterns. The romantic and unique atmosphere is the favorite among lovers.

Xiaolan has been absent-minded, and Conan is worried about her, so he has been by Xiaolan's side all the time.

The two of them walked forward in silence, Conan stared at Xiaolan intently, everything around him could not enter his eyes.

"Sister Xiaolan, are you unhappy today?" Conan couldn't ask directly, so he could only say tactfully.

"Hey, Conan, do you know? This is the place where Shinichi and I had our last date...Since that day, Shinichi has disappeared. If I had known this, I should have listened patiently to him that day..." Xiaolan lowered her voice She walked forward slowly with her head down, her long hair drooping and covering her eyes, making it impossible to see her expression clearly.

Xiaolan recalled the day when she won the karate competition, and Shinichi came here to date her as agreed, but Holmes kept saying that she was not interested, and the atmosphere of a good date was ruined.She clearly remembered every detail of that day, even every word - enough!I don't want to hear any more Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle!Go to your speculative fiction!The reason why I came here with you is to spend a happy day with you!Why don't you understand my heart?

If she had known that this would be the case, she would have listened to Sherlock Holmes and Conan Doyle for the rest of her life, and she would not want Shinichi to disappear.

"Sister Xiaolan, Brother Shinichi will be back." When Conan said this, he felt guilty. How could he tell Xiaolan with certainty that he was not sure about it?

"Conan, I had a nightmare last night, and I was in a bad mood, that's why He Ye proposed to come here. In the dream, I saw Shinichi go farther and farther, and finally disappeared into the darkness. I felt very uncomfortable. I have a good feeling, if, if Shinichi doesn’t show up tonight, I will lose him completely.” Xiaolan really wanted to muster up a smile to keep Conan from worrying, but she couldn’t do it anyway, the scene in the dream was realistic It gave her angina.

"Sister Xiaolan, I saw it on TV. Experts say that dreams and reality are opposite." Conan could only explain to himself with difficulty. Gin is harder to understand.

"Conan, thank you." Xiaolan felt much better. She looked up and said with a little expectation, "Actually... even if there is no dream from last night... Anyway, I want to watch it with Shinichi tonight." look at this……"

Conan turned his head to look, and a huge clock tower appeared in front of him.

"Darling, look at the clock tower in front of you. My mother said that this clock tower is the most famous clock of happiness in Shinjuku. It was bought by Dorobigar Paradise for some business reasons. It is said that lovers listen to it together in the early morning. When the bell of happiness rings twelve times, they will stay together forever." A petite and lovely woman next to Conan dragged a young man past the two of them, and trot away happily, with a smile on her face. happy.

Early morning, the sound of the bell, Dorobigar Paradise... these three finally reached a certain connection, and countless fragments flashed through Conan's mind, and finally stayed on Gin's unbelievable face that was evil and charming that night on the Danube River.

But Conan felt that there was something wrong. This place was like a well-set trap. He who never paid attention to these messages, Xiaolan, Heye and others who had beautiful fantasies, came from Osaka with a huge police force. Heiji Hattori of Department Resources...

What's wrong?Where exactly?

"Gin, are you hiding here? The place where we first met, this place that changed my fate." Conan stood looking around, trying to find the person from the black organization from the vast crowd, his voice whispered Only he can hear it, and he can only speak to himself, in order to protect the safety of Xiaolan and others.

"Conan, am I stupid? I know that even if I see the clock tower with Shinichi, it doesn't mean anything, but I still want to be with him." Xiaolan looked at the clock tower with confused eyes. Seconds passed by, as if their childhood sweethearts' feelings for these years were slowly passing away.

Conan was shocked when he heard Xiaolan's words, and a message suddenly flashed in his mind-if there is no direct connection between time, place, and the bell, then what Gin said is a trap-like reminder!He always felt that the most familiar place Gin mentioned was the Dorobigar Paradise where they had intersected, and there happened to be a bell tower opening ceremony in the park to celebrate the ceremony, and the time, place, and bells could already be linked together.

But what if not?Where would Gin be if there was no direct connection between the three?By the way, it must be there!

Suddenly Conan turned around and ran quickly, Xiaolan hesitated for a few seconds, when she came back to her senses Conan's short figure had been submerged by the sea of ​​people, just like the dream she had last night, the feeling of falling from heaven to hell A sense of loss welled up in her heart.

Bang——The door was pushed open violently, and it hit the wall with a loud noise.

Gin reclined on the leather sofa with a leisurely posture, a black trench coat hung on the back of the sofa, and the cuffs of the white shirt he was wearing were slightly rolled up, revealing the golden cufflinks.

The Gin at this time was obviously different from the usual Gin. He restrained his murderous aura, and the dim light slanted down from his sculpted face, hiding his coldness and adding a bit of softness.

"Gin." Conan leaned on the wooden door with one hand, and covered his heart that was beating wildly due to strenuous exercise with the other, and finally arrived!

Gin raised his head when he heard the sound, and the minute hand of the ancient wall clock on the wall pointed to 5 minutes.

"You're late." Gin's slightly frowned brows showed a heroic air without anger, and he uttered these words softly, with an extremely cold tone in his tone.

There was a creepy tremor in his body, Conan forced himself to meet Gin's eyes, and said as calmly as possible: "No, it's not there yet... Scotland and Japan are eight hours apart, so I'm not late!"

Gin pursed his lips casually, and the corners of his mouth curled into a rare arc.
