Snap, snap, snap.

Thunderous applause erupted in the classroom, which was a friendly welcome from the children.

After a few seconds, the applause stopped.

"Come on, Teacher Wakasa..." Teacher Kobayashi motioned to Rumi Wakasa next to him to come up and say a few words.

However, Rumi Wakasa looked timid, with a rosy face and her gaze downward.

He hesitated for a few seconds with slightly parted lips, and then said: "That..."

"Hello everyone, my name is Rumi Wakasa..."

"Ten years older than your teacher Xiao Lin..."

"Please, please take care of me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she bowed forward.

As a result, I used too much force when I bowed, and my forehead hit the podium directly, making a muffled sound.

This reckless move first stunned everyone in the classroom, and then burst into laughter.

The classroom is full of cheerful atmosphere.

Seeing that Rumi Wakasa did not perform well during their first meeting, Kobayashi quickly walked over to comfort her.

Conan, who was sitting below, looked at Wakasa Rumi's reckless performance and once again confirmed in his heart that this could not be the "Elena" he met in London.

Although they look very similar...

"But at this time, a deputy head teacher came to the class, which is really rare..." Conan murmured.

Sitting next to her, Haibara Ai hugged her shoulders and looked coldly at Wakasa Rumi, who was making a fool of herself on the podium, and said calmly: "Because there are many transfer students like us in this class, that's why we need a deputy head teacher...

"

"Yeah?"

Conan, who had other answers in mind, put his chin with one hand and glanced in the direction of the three little ones.

I guess it's because these three are usually too troublesome, so the school has appointed another deputy head teacher, right?

…

The morning passed in the blink of an eye and it was lunch time.

The five members of the Young Detective Team put together the study table and sat down to eat together.

Facing the nutritionally balanced but light-tasting children's set meal, the other four people ate with gusto.

Only Conan looked at the milk, fried rice, bread, vegetable and corn platter on the plate, and he had no interest in eating at all.

Alas, when can I change back?

Conan poked the broccoli on the plate with a spoon and sighed softly.

Since returning from London, the impact of the organization's affairs on his heart has not only not weakened, but has become more profound.

Now that everyone is doing their part to fight against the organization, how can I sit here and eat the children's meal with peace of mind?

How about asking for a leave from school?

Xiaolan can also temporarily withdraw...

Anyway, now that Kuroba Kaito is there, no matter what he does, there is no way that Xiaolan will suspect him.

Now even if she reveals "I am Kudo Shinichi" in front of Xiaolan, Xiaolan will definitely laugh it off.

So, on the way back by plane with Kuroba Kaito, Conan made some arrangements with this "cousin".

For example, because Kuroba Kaito looks too much like "Kudo Shinichi", in order to avoid misunderstanding after Maori Ran saw it, Kuroba Kaito's future activity range in Tokyo was defined as the southwest area centered on Ekoda Town.

No more than Shibuya at most.

If you have any important reason to come to Mihua, you must report it in advance.

Secondly, if there is any need here, Kuroba Kaito can come over at any time to help play "Kudo Shinichi".

However, during the performance, Conan also made three chapters with him.

First, no physical contact is allowed.

Second, no physical contact is allowed.

Third, no physical contact is allowed.

Important things should be agreed three times.

The reason why Kuroba Kaito agreed to these agreements was because he felt that he had used Kudo Shinichi's identity before, which led to the two of them being targeted by the Beast Brotherhood, and he felt guilty.

At this time, Hui Yuan Ai next to me suddenly said: "There seems to be something wrong with you..."

"Me?" Conan looked stunned, "Yes?"

Haiyuan Ai did not turn to look at him, but said to herself, "You spent most of this morning lowering your head and thinking..."

"Did something happen when I went to London this time?"

Hearing Haiyuan Ai's guess, Conan's pupils trembled, and he sighed inwardly at his accurate intuition.

But I definitely couldn't let Haihara Ai know about those things in London, otherwise she would have to worry about it again.

"Haha~ What's the matter?"

"This trip to London was nothing special, really..."

Haibara Ai:"……"

She glanced at Conan, who was scratching his head and laughing, and knew he was lying.

Before Conan returned to Japan, she had seen photos of the Wimbledon bombing scene on the Internet, and Conan's presence was in them.

With Conan's habits, it is impossible for him to be completely uninvolved in the case.

But since Conan didn't want to talk, and the incident was over, she didn't want to ask any more questions.

Otherwise, it will appear as if you care about him...

At this moment, the newly appointed deputy head teacher Rumi Wakasa walked to the small dining table of the Junior Detective Team and asked cautiously: "Excuse me... do you know where there is lime?"

"Lime?" Ayumi put down the bread in her hand, "What does the teacher want lime for?"

Wakasa grabbed his hands randomly in front of his clothes and said coquettishly: "In the first physical education class in the afternoon, you are going to play dodgeball on the playground, right?"

"So I wanted to use lime to draw all the lines I needed during my lunch break, but the original lime for drawing the lines had just been used up, and I didn't find any spare ones in the warehouse..."

At this time, Conan, as an "old senior", took the initiative and said: "Then we should go to the old warehouse of the school and have a look. Maybe there is some lime there?"

Yuantai showed a wicked look, "Is it that dilapidated warehouse that is rumored to be haunted by ghosts?"

Mitsuhiko immediately followed the rhythm, "I heard that a long time ago, a teacher was locked up in that warehouse and starved to death..."

"Yes, I heard that there are still people near the warehouse. Please help me. I'm so hungry. I want to eat eel rice..."

Conan helplessly shook off his half-moon eyes. This is obviously something you want to eat, right?

However, just when the three children were just chatting and laughing, and had become accustomed to such topics about dead people, Haibara Ai saw the fearful expression on Rumi Wakasa's face.

She could see what the new teacher was afraid of.

"What's wrong? Don't you know where the old warehouse is?"

Haihara Ai did not ask the somewhat embarrassing question "What are you afraid of?", but changed the question to guide him to express his demands.

"I, I know where it is..."

Rumi Wakasa became even more coy, "Then, that...that's, that..."

"Is it because you are afraid that you want us to accompany you?"

Conan said it straight away without any loss of face.

"Well~ yes."

Wakasa Rumi admitted generously.

…

After the Young Detective Team finished lunch, they took Rumi Wakasa to the back of the school.

This is an abandoned vacant lot, not far from the garbage storage point.

In the middle of the open space, an abandoned warehouse stands.

Conan looked at the warehouse in front of him and couldn't help feeling that things were different and people were different.

When I went to elementary school here ten years ago, this warehouse was still in use, and it wasn't as shabby as it is now.

"Look, the door here is unlocked!" Yuantai pointed at the warehouse door and shouted.

Conan put his hands in his pockets and said nonchalantly: "There was no lock here 10 years ago..."

Before he finished speaking, Hui Yuan Ai next to him nudged him with his elbow.
