Kaito Kuroba pointed to a fork in the road and took the opportunity to say goodbye to Yuu Aragaki: "I'll be going now. I'll come back to find you when I'm ready."
Yuu Aragaki nodded at Kaito Kuroba without saying anything.
Kaito Kuroba suddenly noticed that Yuu Aragaki glanced silently at the umbrella in his hand, and then looked back at the attack.
He seemed to be hesitating about something...
Kaito Kuroba was initially puzzled, but when he noticed the rain in the sky getting heavier, he suddenly realized what was going on.
"Is this guy hesitating about whether to return the umbrella to me?"
Seeing Aragaki Yu's hesitant expression, Kuroba Kaito became even more certain of his guess.
Kaito Kuroba, who hadn't expected Aragaki Yu to make such an expression, couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It's okay, just take it. It's just an umbrella. If you mind, you can return it to me next time."
Just as Kuroba Kaito finished speaking, he was eagerly awaiting Aragaki Yu's grateful response, but found that Aragaki Yu did not give him any reply.
He couldn't help but glance at Aragaki Yu beside him in surprise, only to find that Aragaki Yu was still looking at him with a rather conflicted expression, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Um... so, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Kaito Kuroba, realizing he had guessed wrong, lowered his head in frustration, his tone somewhat disappointed.
"What I mean is, this umbrella I'm holding is a little torn. Can we exchange it?" Aragaki Yu pointed to the slightly leaky part of the umbrella in his hand and said somewhat embarrassedly.
Kaito Kuroba: "..."
……
Kaito Kuroba opened his mouth, about to say something, but was startled by a figure stumbling out from around the corner of the side road, and swallowed his words back.
A small figure could be seen wearing an ill-fitting, soaking white coat. She had her head down, and her short, brown hair was drenched by the rain and hung loosely over her head.
For some unknown reason, with her bare, white feet, she stumbled and staggered out of the side path, clinging to the wall with difficulty.
He unexpectedly ran into Aragaki Yu and Kaito Kid at a street corner, and then fell down in front of them.
"A staged accident?!"
Kaito Kid was clearly startled when he saw the little girl who had fallen into a puddle not far away.
Aragaki Yu looked at the little girl who had suddenly appeared with some surprise.
"Ai Haibara?!"
The moment the little girl came into his view, Aragaki Yu recognized her.
—Ai Haibara.
That is, Miyano Akemi's younger sister, Miyano Shiho.
However, Yuu Aragaki couldn't help but start to have doubts.
strangeness……
In the original series, Shiho Miyano did not decide to betray the organization because of her sister's death. Instead, she took APTX-4869 at the risk of death and escaped from the research lab using her shrunken body.
But Miyano Akemi is still alive and well, so how did this guy get out?
Because Akemi Miyano ended up working for him by chance, she was not involved in the bank robbery that cost 1 billion yen and was subsequently killed by Gin.
Yuu Aragaki was initially worried that his changes to the plot would lead to the disappearance of "Ai Haibara".
(Gin, sitting in the passenger seat, silently lights a cigarette: Heh...)
"What's going on with this child?" Kuroba Kaito turned around in surprise and asked Aragaki Yu.
He didn't think Aragaki Yu would know anything; he just wanted to share his doubts with this person.
"Who knows..." Aragaki Yu shrugged, feigning complete ignorance.
Despite saying that, Yuu Aragaki walked straight to Shiho Miyano, who had fallen to the ground.
Shiho Miyano, still seemingly lucid in the puddle, appeared to retain a sliver of consciousness.
She knew very well that she could not afford to fall here.
What if someone finds out...
Whether it's being hunted down by an organization after discovering his disappearance, or being found by a passerby and taken to the police station, it's not a good thing for him.
Own……
I have to find that guy!
That guy who's ended up in the same situation as me—Shinichi Kudo!
She struggled to her feet from the puddle, wiping the mud off her face with her wet sleeves and clearing the rainwater from her eyes.
Just as I was about to drag my heavy body forward, I discovered that my path was blocked.
She raised her head in confusion, and when she saw the figure blocking her view, her pupils involuntarily contracted sharply.
"This...how is this possible!"
Chapter 164 An Encounter in the Rain
Seeing Shiho Miyano's thunderstruck expression, and then glancing at Kaito Kuroba beside her, Yuu Aragaki couldn't help but touch his chin, indicating that he could understand her feelings.
After all, anyone would react this way if they saw someone they thought had "disappeared" appear in front of them.
However, Yuu Aragaki gradually noticed something was amiss.
Why is Shiho Miyano's gaze fixed on me the whole time, seemingly oblivious to Kaito Kuroba standing to the side?
"Hmm?" Yuu Aragaki couldn't help but be puzzled. He couldn't help but follow Shiho Miyano's gaze and quickly scanned his entire body. "Strange, there's nothing wrong with it."
A black umbrella, a crisp black coat, slim-fitting black trousers, and gleaming black leather boots…
There was no strange attire like wearing underwear on the outside.
and many more……
Noticing Shiho Miyano's increasingly pale face and her strange expression, Yuu Aragaki finally realized what was going on.
This guy……
Could it be that they think I'm one of the people sent by the organization to hunt her down?
After all, his all-black outfit could easily lead to misunderstandings.
You should know that this outfit of hers was indeed purchased according to Gin's requirements, and today was the first time she had worn it.
Even the invoices were only recently photographed and sent to Gin for reimbursement.
I never expected that she would run into it by such a coincidence.
Shiho Miyano was pale and stood frozen in place, staring blankly at Yuu Aragaki with panic in her eyes.
"Little sister, what are you doing here? Where are you going? Do you need me to take you there?"
Seeing Shiho Miyano looking like a startled rabbit, Yuu Aragaki sighed inwardly. He moved the umbrella in his hand slightly toward her, softening his tone as much as possible, and asked her in a gentle voice.
"..."
Shiho Miyano stared warily at the man in black before her, not daring to move an inch, but her heart was churning with turmoil.
However, what Aragaki Yuna's voice, which was meant to be as gentle as possible, sounded to Miyano Shiho like the way those perverts in the organization were toying with a mouse.
From what Aragaki Yu said, Shiho Miyano sensed that he was implying—
"Heh heh, you stinking rat, where do you think you can run to? Don't struggle anymore, let me send you on your way!"
Whether it was because she caught a chill from the rain or because she was too nervous and fearful, Shiho Miyano couldn't help but shiver.
"Little sister?"
Seeing Shiho Miyano in a daze, Yuu Aragaki couldn't help but reach out to wipe away the rainwater streaming down her hair.
Shiho Miyano was startled by Yuu Aragaki's actions and couldn't help but take two steps back. However, because her weak legs could not support her tired body, she fell to the ground.
Kaito Kuroba, who was standing to the side, finally snapped out of his reverie and, seeing the little girl fall to the ground again, couldn't help but remind her, "Yuu Aragaki, you seem to have frightened her..."
"!!!"
However, before Aragaki Yu could give any response...
Shiho Miyano, slumped on the ground, followed the sound and noticed "Shinichi Kudo" next to the man in black named "Yu Aragaki".
His eyes suddenly flashed with boundless astonishment and fear.
This……
what is going on!
How could Shinichi Kudo possibly be with a member of the organization!
Could it be that all of this was a trap set up against me?
Kaito Kuroba naturally noticed the little girl's reaction when she saw him, which made him even more puzzled.
Why did this little girl make that expression when she saw me?
Does she recognize herself?
Or perhaps, you know...Shinichi Kudo?
