Chapter 251: Chapter 250 Yukiko return
Aizen glanced at her and said: "Why are you polite, and most of it was deduced by you, not entirely my credit."
Hearing this, Eri smiled and said: "So it seems that I am still a little useful? "
Aizen drove the car and said, "Don't say that. You are more than just a little useful. We are like partners. This case was solved with our cooperation."
"Partners?"
Eri said to herself, with a slight curl of her lips. She suddenly felt that it was a very good thing to work with Aizen on a case. If the two of them could form a team, they might become a perfect team like Holmes and Watson.
Eri tilted her head slightly and looked at Aizen, thinking, "He is much smarter than me. If we really want to form a team, Holmes will only be him, not me. But being a Watson might not be bad, right?"
"Do you have any questions?"
Aizen's voice suddenly sounded, waking Eri up.
"What?"
Aizen looked at her and said, "Do I have any questions? You've been looking at me."
"What are you talking about? How could I have been looking at you?"
Eri retorted with a guilty conscience, her cheeks slightly hot. At this moment, she felt very guilty.
Aizen shrugged and said, "Okay, I guess I saw it wrong."
"That's right!"
Eri muttered, but didn't say much.
The car was driving on the road in the middle of the residential area, but Aizen was taking a small road to send Eri home.
Zizizizi!!!
Not long after, Aizen suddenly stopped the car.
"What's wrong?"
Eri turned around and asked in confusion.
Aizen tried to start the car, but it wouldn't start. After looking around, he said speechlessly, "The car is out of gas."
Eri was surprised and said, "How could that be? Don't you check if the car has gas before you go out? And it should have reminded you in advance before it runs out of gas."
Aizen said, "I just filled up the gas last night."
Eri asked, "What about after that? Have you used the car since then?"
Aizen said, "Master Mouri said he had to go out to handle a case in the morning, so he borrowed my car. He drove back in the evening, and Master Mouri didn't tell me that the car was running out of gas at that time."
"That man!"
Eri frowned and said, "You shouldn't have lent the car to that man. You didn't even tell him that the car was running out of gas. So, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? We can only get out of the car and see if we can stop a car and buy some gas from them."
Aizen unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door and got out.
Seeing this, Eri also unbuckled her seat belt, opened the car door, got out, and stood with Aizen. .
This is a relatively inner residential area, and there are many pedestrians passing by, but in the ten minutes that Aizen and Eri were waiting, no car passed by.
Eri looked at her watch and said, "Sixteen minutes have passed. Should we just call someone to bring some gasoline?"
Aizen looked at his watch and said, "It's not a good idea to bother others at this time. I think we should wait another ten minutes. If we still don't get a car, we can contact someone for help."
"That's fine."
Eri nodded without objection.
"Miss Eri!"
Aizen suddenly turned around and looked at Eri seriously.
"Hmm?"
Eri looked at Aizen in confusion. Seeing Aizen looking at her so seriously, she felt a little uncomfortable and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be... Could it be...
Aizen said, "It suddenly occurred to me that you are the undefeated queen of the legal world. Maybe because of this, some people will be jealous of you, so you should be extra careful in normal times." "
Ah? That's it?"
Eri was stunned and felt ashamed for her assumption.
Aizen said in confusion, "Should I say something else?"
Eri rolled her eyes and said, "No, I'm just surprised you said this suddenly. Don't worry, I know what's going on and nothing will happen."
"I'm glad it's okay!"
Aizen nodded and said nothing more.
Eri turned and walked to the car door, opened the door and sat on the passenger seat. She touched her hot cheeks with both hands and patted them gently.
Eri sighed softly, no one knew what she was thinking about, her eyes were inexplicably lonely and helpless.
Seeing Eri return to the car, Aizen glanced at her and said nothing more. He summoned the system panel and took a look at Eri's data. On the system panel, Eri's favorability towards him was 83, which had turned into love without her realizing it.
"83 points of favorability, although this shows that she likes me, if I want to have a relationship beyond friendship with her without forcing it, it will definitely not be easy because I have a girlfriend. I'd better not alert her."
Aizen pondered in his heart, thinking that 83 points of favorability was not enough. If it was not 90 points, don't even think about having a relationship beyond friendship.
Time passed slowly, about five or six minutes later, Aizen saw a car coming towards this side, and immediately walked to the middle of the road, waving his hands.
Seeing this, Eri opened the door, got out of the car, and stood beside the car.
Aizen was standing in the middle of the road, and unless the other party wanted to hit him directly, he could only stop the car, and the owner of the car could not hit anyone directly, so the car stopped when it was only about half a meter away from Aizen.
This is a taxi. Aizen walked quickly to the driver's door and apologized, "I'm sorry, my car is out of gas, so I stopped you."
The taxi driver was a middle-aged man in his forties. He smiled and said, "Nothing, it's just a small matter. Miss, I'll give you some gas. Please wait a moment." The rest of the words were said to the woman sitting in the back of the taxi.
Ah!"
The woman in the back opened the door at this time, got out of the car, looked at Eri and said, "I didn't expect that I would meet an acquaintance."
"Is it her? She's back!"
Looking at the woman getting off the car, Aizen was very surprised. This woman actually came back to Japan. If he hadn't happened to meet her here, he really wouldn't know about it.
When she saw the woman getting off the car, Eri was also very surprised. She walked over to the woman, looked her up and down, and said with her hands on her chest: "Oh, you are still the same, you like to pretend to be young. But even if you were a princess of Teitan, you can't resist the aging of time."
"This sentence also applies to you, your majesty, the old queen with heavy makeup on your face."
Yukiko said with her hands on her waist, not giving in at all. At this moment, her clothes are very fancy and popular. No wonder Eri said that she likes to pretend to be young, but in fact, she doesn't need to pretend. People who don't know her will only think she is in her early twenties, and they will never imagine that she is already in her thirties.
After looking at the two of them, Aizen went to work with the taxi driver.
Suddenly, Eri and Yukiko crossed their fingers and both of them showed happy smiles on their faces.
"Really, we haven't seen each other for a long time, Yukiko." "That's right, have you been okay recently?"
The two separated their hands, and Yukiko said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. At that time, you and Kogoro were not separated yet."
"Don't talk about him, if it weren't for Ran, we would have divorced long ago."
Kisaki Eri asked: "By the way, are you the only one who came back this time? Where's Yusaku?"
"Don't talk about that man!"
Yukiko put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "That man, not only does he have frequent social engagements, but there are even women's lip prints on his collar. I want to take revenge on him, I also want to cheat!"
"You!"
Kisaki Eri shook her head. She knew that Yukiko was just speaking angrily, so she didn't persuade Yukiko.
"Hey, hey..."
The anger on Yukiko's face disappeared in an instant. She pulled Eri and looked at Aizen and said, "You are so good. You found such a handsome guy. Do people know that you are married?"
"What are you thinking? We are just ordinary friends."
Eri carefully glanced at Aizen and said to Yukiko unhappily.
"Really?"
Yukiko looked at Eri with suspicion. In fact, she knew that there was nothing between Aizen and Eri, because she had met Aizen. The reason she said this was just to tease Eri.
It was a very happy thing for Yukiko to tease and make fun of Eri. .
"Of course it's true!"
Eri said with an unchanged expression: "He is my daughter's friend, and is currently a student of that man. She is learning from that man how to become an excellent detective."
"So that's the case."
Yukiko pretended to be surprised, looking at Eri and said: "From your appearance, I can tell that you have dressed up specially, and even put on lipstick. Who else can you show it to except him?"
Eri felt a little guilty, but did not show it. She rolled her eyes and said: "If you say so, I can't put on lipstick, right? Once I put on lipstick and meet someone, it means that I am interested in that person, right? What kind of logic is this?"
Yukiko blinked and said: "Okay, just assume that you are right."
Eri snorted: "Don't say things without proof or people will misunderstand."
"Hehe!!"
Yukiko chuckled but did not refute.
Aizen quickly dealt with the taxi driver and put away their tools.
"Mister, I'll stop here."
Yukiko said to the taxi driver, then took the suitcase from the back of the car and paid the fare.
After the taxi driver left, Yukiko said to Kisaki Eri, "Eri, do you mind giving me a ride?"
"The car is not mine."
Kisaki Eri said, and then said to Aizen, "Aizen, this is my high school classmate Yukiko, please take her home."
Aizen smiled and said to Yukiko, "Come to think of it, I met Miss Yukiko once. It's been a long time since we last met."
"Yeah, it's been a long time."
Yukiko thought of that man at this moment. The reason why she met Aizen was because of that man. She didn't know what happened to that man now.
Aizen took Yukiko's suitcase and put it in the back of the car.
Eri and Yukiko sat in the back together. Aizen got in the car, started the car, and drove away. This time, he drove to Yukiko's home.
The two women were chatting quietly in the back. Aizen neither eavesdropped nor interrupted. He drove the car seriously.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the door of Yukiko's house, but here, the three people unexpectedly saw the two. Ran and Conan were standing at the door of Yukiko's house.
"Oh, isn't this Ran and Conan?"
Yukiko greeted them with surprise, came to the front of the two, leaned over and pinched Conan's cheek, with a smile on her face.
"Aunt Yukiko, mother, Aizen!"
Ran looked at the three people in surprise, not understanding why the three were together.
"Why is my mother with Ran's mother and Aizen?"
Conan was puzzled, but at this time he was secretly relieved, at least his identity would not be exposed by Ran. If they came later, his identity might be exposed.
Aizen looked at the two and said, "Ran, Conan, why are you two here?"
"Aizen, this is what happened!"
"Not long ago, I found that Conan looked exactly like Shinichi when he took off his glasses. Thinking about how smart Conan was before, and how he reasoned the same way as Shinichi, I think he is Shinichi."
"Ran, I told you not to think about your childhood sweetheart."
Eri held up his glasses, ignoring Yukiko's presence, and said, "I told you that childhood sweethearts are the most unreliable, and they can even become a burden to you. Kudo Shinichi hasn't appeared for a long time. He said he was on a case. No matter what the case was, he shouldn't have shown up. What's a few occasional phone calls? You think Conan is Kudo Shinichi, but that's just because you miss him too much. Kudo Shinichi is a high school student, and Conan is a child. How could they be the same person?"
"Eri, I don't allow you to say that about my Shinichi. He can't get away because he is working on a very important case, not because he doesn't care about Ran. ....."
Then, Yukiko said to Ran: "But Ran, Conan is indeed not Shinichi. The reason why he looks so much like Shinichi when he was a child is because his mother is my relative. It seems like a very normal thing."
"But...but..."
Ran felt that her intuition was right, but the facts were in front of her. She couldn't help feeling sad and tears flowed from her eyes.
"Alas!"
Seeing this, Aizen sighed secretly. The future is long. It will take a long time to win Ran.
"Ran!"
Conan couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when he saw this. Seeing Ran crying, he felt so painful in his heart. His head immediately became hot and he said in a deep voice: "Ran, I..." He was about to tell the truth, but he saw Ran looking behind him in surprise, which puzzled him.
"Shinichi!"
Ran said to herself, and looked at Kudo Shinichi who was slowly walking towards this side, and burst into tears.
