In the morning, Siling Bank, Mihua Branch.

The Maori family came here, ready to sort out their passbooks.

A lot of money has come in recently.

It's all the balance of various commissions. As a famous detective, I still make a lot of money.

Edogawa Conan is here for the first time.

As a result, I saw a familiar person, often seen in Ye Zi.

Hirota Masami.

The neighbor of classmate Ye Zi.

She works here.

From time to time, I raised my hand and looked at the watch.

Do you care about time?

"Sister Yami."

Anyway, he walked up to her and said hello with a smile.

"Oh, Conan-san."

"Is there anything wrong with you? I looked at my watch several times just now."

"Huh? Ah."

Hirota Masami felt that this was a mistake.

I quickly thought of a reason.

"Because the business is a bit busy now, I wonder how long it will be until noon."

While speaking, he realized that the time had come.

Just stand up quickly and put a sign that the service is suspended.

"Then I have a chance to see you again, Conan-kun."

Leave directly after speaking.

Edogawa Conan always felt a little strange looking at her figure.

Mao Lilan came to him.

"Do you know her, Conan?"

"Ok."

Edogawa Conan nodded.

"She is called Hirota Masami, and she is Ye Zi's neighbor. When I went to look for Ye Zi, I met him many times."

"Oh."

Ye Zi’s neighbor, it’s not strange to know that, after all, Edogawa Conan always goes to Ye Zi’s.

But then again.

"Conan, what do you always go to the leaves for?"

"Um~"

This is not easy to explain.

Of course, there is no problem in fooling the past.

...

then.

There was a robbery case.

...

At noon, the apartment building.

Open your own mailbox and take out the letters inside.

All reply from the publisher.

and also……

"Ok?"

International letters?

The sender is...

"Kudo Yusaku, why did he write to me?"

This is a bit strange.

After all, their relationship, to put it bluntly, is just a transaction, and there is basically no exchange.

The real relationship is Kudo Yukiko.

Befriended the orphanage.

Orphanage...

"Oh~"

Thinking of this, I can't help but sigh.

He went upstairs with various letters and returned to his home.

Sit down on the bed.

First open the letter from the publisher.

As expected.

Talking a lot of nonsense, the core is only four words: refuse to publish.

"Heh~"

What a failure.

Then open the letter from Yusaku Kudo.

If you have anything you want to do, just make a phone call. What letter should you write?

What a waste of time.

"Ye Zi, when you read this letter, you probably already know about the orphanage...huh?"

After reading this, Ye Zi was stunned.

Continue to look down.

"If you don’t know yet, then I’m sorry, but you should go back and see... this is the end of the matter, and we don’t need to continue in the name of our teacher and apprentice. You are no longer my student, and I am no longer you. Teacher...ah~"

What is this called?

Expelled from the division?

It is too.

It was pity for myself that I would let myself borrow his name.

There is no orphanage now.

Naturally, there is no need to maintain this nominal master-disciple relationship.

"Heh~"

What a failure.

...

loser.

This definition may be very accurate when applied to the leaves.

Past and present lives are failures.

Nothing happened in the previous life.

Finally I sold myself and cooperated with an experiment.

What superpowers.

As a result, the experiment failed and he blew himself through.

Come again in this life.

Work hard and make money.

I just want to keep the orphanage and my home.

The result still failed.

The orphanage is gone;

Home is gone

The younger siblings, elder brothers and sisters, and several grandmothers have been scattered, and I don't know when we will see each other again.

What a failure!

I want to write a novel.

As a result, I have written so many articles, and few can be published.

failure.

Play a trick, be a stand-in, play a supporting role, etc.

But in the film and television industry, it has not been able to mix up with a name.

failure.

Happily "written" a song and sent it to the person in my memory, wanting to make more money for the orphanage.

The result is still a failure.

I want to prevent Takayama Minami from being kidnapped.

But it failed.

Want to prevent Takahashi from killing Chikako Ikeda.

It still fails.

Such things, such things.

All are failures.

"Sure enough, I am a loser!"

sad.

Laughing and generous.

...

Kudo Yukiko quarreled with her husband again.

The cause is the orphanage.

When they went back to Japan last time, they visited the orphanage and wanted to know if Ye Zi's efforts were fruitful.

It turned out that the orphanage was about to close.

After that, I left Japan.

Of course, this is not the main cause of the quarrel.

What really made her unhappy was that her husband sent such a letter to Ye Zi without discussing it with her.

It is estimated that after the letter arrived, the husband confessed to her.

So there was a quarrel.

Then she packed her luggage again and flew directly back to Japan.

Let's not talk about other things.

The orphanage is gone, this will definitely make Ye Zi a big blow.

She has to come back and take a look.

In the afternoon, I had already returned to the Japanese airport.

Did not go home.

Just take a taxi to Ye Ye.

"Ding Dong~"

Ring the doorbell.

But there was no response.

Part-time job?

wrong.

Just glanced at the mailbox, there was nothing in it.

Logically speaking, there will be something every day.

Including flyers and so on.

After all, this is not the kind of tightly-secured neighborhood. In the mailbox here, anyone can put things in.

Many flyers will come here and stuff the flyers into the mailbox.

That means Ye Ye has already taken things away.

Of course it will not be taken outside, but taken back home.

And Ye Zi's bicycle is still below.

If you work part-time, Ye Zi usually rides a bicycle.

Combining these two points, you can draw a conclusion: the leaf is at home.

At least the chances are great.

"Ding Dong~"

Continue to ring the doorbell.

But there has been no response.

"Boom bang~"

Just shoot the door directly.

"Yuba, it's me, Yukiko Kudo, please open the door quickly."

"..."

waited for so long.

But the door still opened.

Leaves, listless and tired, appeared in front of her.

Those eyes are like dead.

It hurts her very much.

This child shouldn't be like this.

He has brighter eyes than anyone, a brighter smile than anyone, and an optimistic attitude than anyone else.

Also love life more than anyone else.

Although life is so hard.

But he has never been pessimistic, and has never been so decadent.

Even the voice is so lifeless.

"Madam...No, there is Sister Xizi."

This is what he called her when they first met.

The purpose is to deceive the sugar in her hand.

Then share it with brothers and sisters.

For the orphanage, for the home in my heart, for the younger brothers and sisters.

The result is now...

"leaf."

No unnecessary nonsense, just give him a hug.

Comforting him.

"It's okay, just cheer up."

"..."

Ye Zi did not speak, just let her hold it.

Cheer up...

what?

It will not succeed anyway.

He is a loser, a total loser.

...

The plan went smoothly, and one billion yen was hidden by her.

Pretend that nothing happened and work in the bank until after hours.

Pack your things and leave.

At the same time, think back to today.

There should be no flaws, and should not be suspected?

But in my heart, there is always a bad feeling.

The matter is over, there is no way.

Proceed as planned.

Going home alone, behaved as usual.

apartment.

Here as always.

When I returned to my own floor, I saw a man and a woman hugging each other in front of the house next door.

Not right.

It should be the leaves being held.

Is it his sister too?

There should be many sisters coming out of the orphanage.

"leaf……"

Want to say hello.

But after getting closer, I discovered that the condition of the leaves didn't seem to be very good.

what happened?

Stopped and looked at the leaves.

He also looked at himself.

His mouth moved, but after all he didn't speak.

"..."

Hirota Masami was slightly silent.

But since there is a sister, there is no need to take care of it yourself.

Although Ye Zi also called her own sister.

but……

"Oh~"

Sigh secretly.

I went back to my room.

After all, I still have very important things to do. For the time being, there is no way to help Ye Zi.

Motherly

I burst into tears as I wrote it

But after all, it’s just self-moving
