Chapter 1456 Miyano Akemi’s Time Capsule

"Haiyuan..."

"Grey Yuan!"

Conan raised his voice, which brought Haibara Ai's thoughts back to the present.

"What's wrong with you?" Conan asked.

Huibara Ai was slightly stunned and did not answer immediately.

Conan glanced at the three little ones squatting in front of the breeding hut and concentrating on feeding the rabbits, then leaned close to Huiyuan Ai's ear and whispered, "Are you still thinking about Miyano Elena?"

"In fact, the person Curacao saw may not be your mother..."

Conan was trying to find a way to comfort the absent-minded Haibara Ai, but before he could finish his words of comfort, he was interrupted by Haibara Ai.

"nothing."

Haibara Ai put her hands behind her back, closed her eyes, and looked like she didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.

Conan's eyes froze for a moment. Just as he was wondering what he had said wrong, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"what?"

"Conan, Haibara, Ayumi... why are you here at school?"

The five elementary school students turned around at the same time and saw their homeroom teacher, Mr. Kobayashi, and their deputy homeroom teacher, Wakasa Rumi, standing on the sand behind them.

"Mr. Kobayashi! Mr. Wakasa!"

The three little ones quickly put down the leaves in their hands, stood up and said, "We are here to feed the rabbits!"

"And come and see if Xiao Hei has recovered today!"

The "Xiao Hei" that Yuantai mentioned refers to the black rabbit.

"Really?" Teacher Kobayashi bent down and looked at the three little ones. "What about the rabbits?"

Ayumi smiled innocently, "I feel pretty energetic already!"

Teacher Xiaolin straightened his back and said, "Then the teachers will go back to the office first..."

Wakasa Rumi also agreed, "I'll trouble you to change their water and clean up."

"Good!" ×5After saying that, the two turned and walked towards the teaching building.

Conan looked at the backs of the two people leaving. One was wearing a red sportswear and the other was wearing a green sportswear. Such attire seemed inexplicably formal in elementary school.

Especially when his eyes fixed on Wakasa Rumi who was wearing a green sportswear, a hint of stern scrutiny flashed in Conan's eyes.

If Wakasa Rumi is the "Asaka" in the Haneda Hiroshi case 17 years ago, what is her purpose of lurking in this school as a teacher?What secrets does she have?Is she red or black?But looking at Haibara Ai’s reaction, this person doesn’t seem to be in any danger?Thinking of this, Conan turned and looked at Haibara Ai.

The latter had no discomfort on his face as he bent over the two rabbits in the cage.

"But today is Sunday, why are Mr. Kobayashi and Mr. Wakasa coming to school?"

Yuantai asked, leaning on the railing behind him.

While looking at the rabbit eating, Huiyuan Ai answered nonchalantly, "The teacher said they are going to entertain guests coming to the school today."

"Eh——?" Mitsuhiko stretched out his voice in confusion.

Conan was a little surprised that Haibara Ai actually knew about something that had nothing to do with her, but he still stepped forward and asked directly: "What guest?"

"I don't know. I don't know the specific details..."

Haibara Ai responded to Conan in that unique light tone.

The next second, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her from behind.

A drop of cold sweat instantly appeared on her forehead and she looked around nervously.

But when I looked up, I actually saw a man walking towards here from the backlit direction of the playground.

"You are Shiho, right?"

"Miyano Akemi's younger sister..."

The other person bent down slightly, and a malicious smile appeared at the corner of his dark mouth.

"I didn't expect to meet you here..."

"It really surprised me..."

Hearing the other party's extremely uncomfortable opening greeting, Haibara Ai was frightened and turned pale instantly, and subconsciously stepped back.

She wanted to deny it, but her tongue was already tied between her slightly opened lips.

"No, no..."

Conan also immediately became alert, protecting Haibara Ai behind him with one arm, and questioned her as if facing a formidable enemy.

"What are you doing!?"

"who are you!"

The other person was stunned and quickly stood up, and the sunlight dispelled the shadow on his body.

"What kind of person?"

The three little ones also rushed up and stood in front of the man, questioning him with their fists clenched.

"Who are you talking about, Shiho?"

"You look suspicious!"

"Yep!"

Conan took the opportunity to look the man over. He was wearing a black button-down shirt and had slightly curly hair. He looked rather ordinary.

But he couldn't take it lightly.

Since Curacao recognized Haibara Ai the first time they met after recovering his memory, it means that there may be other people in the organization who can recognize Haibara Ai's true identity at a glance.

After all, when Haibara Ai was Miyano Shiho, she grew up under the care and control of the organization.

Her childhood image must have been seen by more than one or two people.

For example, in the previous Haido Hotel incident, Pisco recognized Haibara Ai, who was in her elementary school student state, based on memory alone.

"Murata, what are you doing?"

At this time, a man and a woman came from the other corner and asked the curly-haired man.

"No, nothing, I just..."

The man wanted to explain, but the three little ones still stared at them with vigilant eyes.

As students of Teitan Elementary School, they clearly remembered that there were no three teachers who looked like this in this school.

"What are you guys going to do?"

"This is a primary school. No unauthorized persons are allowed to enter the school grounds!"

"Who are you? If you don't tell me, I'll call for help!"

Seeing that today's primary school students are so vigilant, the three of them were at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and quickly explained their identities.

"We are not irrelevant personnel. In fact, we are graduates here..."

"graduate?"

The three little ones, who knew very well that the rice flower society was insidious, still looked unconvinced.

At this moment, Teacher Kobayashi and Wakasa Rumi also rushed over from a distance and rescued the few people.

It turns out that these three people are really graduates of Teitan Elementary School, and they are here today to attend a class reunion.

We can use the classroom here because we have the principal's approval.

The additional conditions are that alcohol cannot be consumed and that there must be supervision by school teachers on site.

After a conversation, the three people introduced their identities respectively.

The curly-haired guy at the beginning was called Takumi Murata, and he was the class monitor of his previous class.

A tall man with slightly darker skin named Yanagimachi Yue is the deputy monitor.

The last girl with thick braids and glasses is called Ichihashi Shengzi, the secretary. The style of this class is that everyone has an official position.

At this time, Teacher Xiaolin asked, "By the way, did you have a conflict with these children just now?"

Murata Takumi, who used to be the class monitor, smiled and explained, "No, it's just that there was a girl in our class named Miyano Akemi, and she showed me a photo of her sister Shiho..."

"The person in the photo looks exactly like the girl with brown hair, so I couldn't help but go and say hello."

"I'm sorry, I scared you with my reckless behavior."

The deputy squad leader Yanagimachi Yue next to him asked curiously, "Hey, how many years ago was that?"

Murata Takumi scratched his head. "It was probably during the winter break when I was in sixth grade?"

“Wasn’t that 13 years ago?” the female secretary next to her complained.

"It definitely can't be this child..."

Looking at the seamless interaction between the three people, Conan felt that they did not seem to be lying.

In other words, their elementary school classmate was really Miyano Akemi.

"Hey, why haven't I heard you say that your sister graduated from here?"

Conan covered his mouth and asked Haibara Ai in a low voice.

Huiyuan Ai put her hands on Conan's shoulders, glanced and replied: "I only found out now. She used to just follow the organization's orders and often transferred to different places..."

"Oh..." Conan groaned, "Then just pretend it has nothing to do with you."

"Of course I know~"

Just as Conan and Haibara Ai were whispering to each other, Wakasa Rumi, who was standing not far away, watched the two whispering quietly, and her eyes changed slightly under her reflective glasses.

……

After the misunderstanding was resolved, Mr. Kobayashi asked the three to gather in the classroom of Grade 6-A Class, where the other graduates had already set up their classes.

But the three of them declined, saying they were looking for something else in the school.

"I see, it's a time capsule..."

Wakasa Rumi looked at the three of them and murmured, "You guys are going to dig out the time capsule that was buried the day before the graduation ceremony and bring it to the class reunion to liven up the atmosphere, right?"

Murata Takumi replied, "Almost. But it's a bit embarrassing to ask everyone to read out what they wrote in front of the whole class."

"Why?" Yanagimachi Takeshi beside him asked with his head tilted.

"Of course it's because someone must have written something that is too embarrassing to talk about..."

Hearing this explanation, Yanagimachi Gaku's face was full of confidence.

"I don't mind. After all, I have fulfilled my dream of becoming a firefighter."

The secretary also smiled and replied: "It doesn't matter to me. Becoming a doctor is also my childhood dream. Although my parents also have some expectations..."

"What about Murata, do you have any work related to painting?"

"Well, I'm a freelancer now..."

The three seemed to be very familiar with each other's childhood and communicated with each other.

Mitsuhiko interrupted the conversation and asked, "So the time capsule you mentioned, has not been found yet?"

"Yeah, we're waiting for the guy who buried the time capsule to come over."

"The person who buried the time capsule was the one I mentioned earlier, Akemi Miyano."

Takumi Murata explained with a positive look on his face.

But when Haibara Ai heard this name, her face suddenly froze and her pupils shrank suddenly.

It's my sister...

The few people did not notice the unusual expression on Haibara Ai's face and were discussing about notifying Miyano Akemi.

As a result, postcards notifying people to attend the class reunion have been sent out and the meeting place has also been stated, but no one has replied so far.

"Hey, it seems like they don't know that your sister has passed away..."

Conan covered his mouth again and whispered something to Haibara Ai.

"Well... after all, the news said that my sister's body was unidentified..."

Although Haibara Ai answered this way, her mind suddenly flashed back to the previous train incident.

When he was trapped in the last luggage car, there was a figure in the disconnected car.

That person referred to herself as "sister".

Afterwards, Haibara Ai thought about it carefully and still felt that the only remaining fantasy was impossible.

The police have confirmed Miyano Akemi's death, but her identity has not been disclosed.

And if that person was Miyano Akemi, after such a long time, she would definitely find a way to contact me after I left the organization instead of just ignoring it.

She is still very confident about her sister who always interprets what "gentleness" means.

At this time, Mr. Kobayashi walked up to the graduates and took out an envelope from the pocket of his sweatpants.

"By the way, Kunikami-sensei asked me to give this to you."

The three people who were discussing were stunned and turned to look at Xiaolin.

"I heard that Miyano Akemi wrote the location of the time capsule on it and gave it to Mr. Kunikami for safekeeping..."

"But she didn't give me a map of the exact location. Instead, it looked like this~"

Kobayashi took out the paper from the envelope and showed it to the three people.

There were two rectangular areas on it, each with some neat handwriting.

One of the large rectangular blocks reads "Allows people to see Monet", "Attack planes", "Don't paint", "Doctors don't lie", and "Don't burn the amulet of 89".

In the small rectangle next to it, it says "Library Committee Member, Miyano Akemi".

Conan saw the contents on the paper through the back and immediately recognized it as one of the specialties of rice flower - the secret code.

It turns out that Miyano Akemi has been a riddler since she was a child...

However, when the three graduates saw the contents of the note, they were immediately shocked and even looked a little frightened.

This strange reaction made Conan a little suspicious.

Teacher Kobayashi continued, "When Miyano handed this piece of paper to Teacher Kunikami, she also said that the time capsule contained her blessings for everyone..."

"She also wrote a message to her sister whom she rarely sees."

Hearing this, Haibara Ai subconsciously squeezed the hand that was on Conan's shoulder.

Conan glanced back and saw Haibara Ai's focused eyes, and he understood what she was thinking.

"How about this, let's help look for it together!"

When the three little ones heard that there was fun again, they quickly joined in.

"Because we are..."

"Young Detectives!" ×3"Eh?"

The three graduates looked slightly surprised, but after a brief discussion, they all agreed to the elementary school student's help.

And Huiyuan Ai leaned close to Conan's ear and whispered: "No, if everyone finds it together, it will be inconvenient for me to take it away..."

"It's ok."

Conan turned around with a confident smile on his face, "I will find it before they do and quietly give you what belongs to you."

"I'll give you the message your sister left thirteen years ago..."

At this moment, Conan had an indescribable feeling from Haibara Ai's perspective.

That...heart-pounding feeling.

At this time, everyone didn't notice Wakasa Rumi who had been silent beside them.

Under the reflective glasses on her right eye, her cold eyes were fixed on the code paper in Kobayashi's hand.
