Conan Rick's Investigator

"Thank you for helping me find the time capsule. Please feel free to eat these snacks. Don't be shy!"

"Great! I've been hungry for a long time!"

As soon as the graduate finished speaking, Yuantai happily came to the pile of snacks, opened his arms and hugged several sandwiches and hamburgers, all of which were high-calorie foods.

This made Conan, who was standing behind him, speechless, and he secretly complained in his heart: Hey, didn’t you come here after lunch?

Seeing these kids being so rude, everyone burst into laughter.

Next, all the graduates came forward to retrieve the letters they had left in the time capsule.

When the graduates received the letters they had written themselves 13 years ago and opened them again, their eyes were filled with emotion, shyness, or loneliness.

Conan stood in the corner and secretly observed everyone's facial expressions. They all looked normal and they should have received their own envelopes.

This shows that Akemi Miyano did not hide her letter in someone else's envelope.

In addition, Conan just asked Murata Takumi about the total number of students in his class on the way, and it was 24.

There are 23 people here now, the only one missing is Miyano Akemi.

The task of contacting class members was handled by Yanagimachi Gaku, who had previously mailed postcards to the addresses of all classmates.

But only Miyano Akemi did not respond.

In addition, Yanagimachi Gaku checked the apartment address of Miyano Akemi and found that no one had lived there for a long time, so he already knew that Miyano Akemi would not come to attend the class reunion today.

After everyone received their envelopes, the squad leader, Takumi Murata, suggested that everyone go on stage and speak out the contents of their letters.

Of course, if it is not convenient to share, you can skip it directly, it’s okay.

Takumi Murata took the lead in sharing his message, expressing his dream of becoming a freelance painter in the future.

"…But I am still a freelancer now and have not become a painter."

Takumi Murata scratched his head embarrassedly and spoke out shyly.

Childhood wishes are often unrealistic imaginations.

When he grew up, he found that most living painters in Japan and even in the world had to face poverty.

Originally, Takumi Murata wanted to take a step back and become a manga artist, but what Japan lacks the most is manga artists, and even the competition for the position of assistant to a manga artist is very fierce.

So he just lost his job recently and had to make ends meet by doing odd jobs in a supermarket.

"How is that possible? Murata, you are the best painter in our class!"

"I remember one of your paintings won an award!"

The students in the audience couldn't help but be surprised and expressed their feelings one after another.

This made Takumi Murata take a deep breath and confess.

"In fact, the winning painting is because Mingmei did not submit her own painting for the competition..."

"Mingmei's talent for drawing is much better than mine."

When these words were spoken, the people present were a little shocked at first, but they soon accepted it.

"Amei...it's definitely something she would do."

"What a pity Mingmei didn't come today."

When it comes to Miyano Akemi, all the graduates in the class can't help but feel a little sorry, especially the boys.

A trace of loneliness also appeared on Haibara Ai's face.

When the three graduates mentioned the message that Akemi Miyano left for her sister, she was so expectant.

The result is now...

"All right!"

“Who else would like to come up and share their message next?”

Under the moderation of Takumi Murata, graduates shared their messages one after another.

Some want to be architects, some want to be doctors, and some want to be lawyers.

Most of the people here have never realized their dreams and are now doing jobs that have nothing to do with their childhood ideals.

Only a very few can realize their ideals.

There are also some funny childhood dreams, such as becoming the President of the United States.

It is a rebellion against Tiangang.

After a self-monologue with laughter, the graduates began a free conversation session.

"Come to think of it, at that time, at least 80% of the boys in the class had a crush on Mingmei, right?"

"Maybe more than that..."

"By the way, when I was in school, I secretly read Mingmei's medical examination report..."

"What, you're so perverted."

The boys' whispers attracted the attention of Conan and Haibara Ai.

"What? I didn't go over there to peek when the girls were having their physical examinations..."

The graduate who was called "pervert" blushed and quickly defended himself.

"I just secretly took a look at Mingmei's report when I was helping the teacher get the class experience report back."

"At that time, I was thinking that Mingmei was so popular in the class, she must be an O-type person who tolerates everything~"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huihara Ai, who was standing next to him, suddenly looked stunned.

Conan noticed this change, he turned to look at Huiyuan Ai and asked, "What's wrong?"

Huihara Ai's pupils dilated, and her shocked expression remained for a long while before she hesitantly said, "Impossible..."

"What's impossible?"

"My sister's blood type...can't be type O."

Conan frowned, "Why?"

Ai Haibara looked at Conan seriously and explained: "Because my father, Atsushi Miyano's blood type is AB..."

As soon as these words came out, Conan's brain, which was like a computer, started working immediately.

According to the genetic rules of human blood types, type A and type B are dominant, and type O is recessive.

This means that for all children with type O blood, their parents cannot have type AB blood.

"Are you sure?" Conan solemnly confirmed to Haibara Ai.

Huihara Ai nodded, "It's basically confirmed. I've seen the organization's information before. Miyano Atsushi's blood type is AB, and Elena's is A."

No matter how AB type and A type blood combine, it is impossible to produce a child with O type blood. This is an unbreakable law of nature.

That is to say...

"This is impossible!"

Conan shouted loudly and then ran to the boy who said he had peeked at Mingmei's physical examination report.

"Big Brother, have you really read Sister Miyano Akemi's medical examination report?"

Conan's voice didn't soften at all, and almost everyone in the class heard it.

The graduate was so confused that he looked around in panic and could only laugh awkwardly and pretend to be confused.

"Haha, what is this kid talking about?"

"It's really baffling..."

The graduate tried to evade the question, but Conan simply shouted it out even louder.

"Did you really see Miyano Akemi's blood type clearly?"

The graduate looked at Conan's serious face and felt a little afraid, and nodded subconsciously.

"Yes, yes..."

After getting the same answer again, Conan and Haibara Ai behind him trembled their pupils again.

Excluding the possibility that the graduate remembered it wrongly, the only possibility is...

Just then, the classroom door was pushed open from the outside, and Yanagimachi Gaku and Murata Takumi came in holding a stack of takeout boxes.

"Everyone, sushi and pizza are delivered!"

"This is an additional feast, everyone please eat as much as you can!"

"oh--!"

The atmosphere in the classroom became lively again.

At the classroom window, Wakasa Rumi stood alone behind the curtains, observing the outside of the school from behind her glasses.

At the school gate, a red pizza delivery truck and an electric scooter delivering sushi were parked there.

Two delivery men, one in red and one in white, just came out of the teaching building and were passing by the school playground.

And on the street opposite the school, there was a black luxury sedan parked.

Wakasa Rumi stared at the black car, her cold eyes gradually turning fierce.

……

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the class reunion finally ended.

The graduates divided the work and worked together to clean the classroom and restore the tables and chairs to their original positions.

After doing all this, everyone said goodbye reluctantly at the school gate under the setting sun, just like they were leaving school.

"Goodbye, Murata."

"Goodbye."

“Let’s meet again next year!”

"OK, all right."

Everyone waved goodbye at the school gate, then went their separate ways.

Although they agreed to continue such gatherings next year, it is obviously impossible to gather so many people again.

Because today is the first reunion for everyone after starting work, many people came out of curiosity about their old classmates, and also because of the gimmick of the time capsule.

And many boys came to participate because of Miyano Akemi.

Now the mystery has been stripped away from everyone, and it has been confirmed that Miyano Akemi, the most popular student in the class, has lost contact, so naturally she has no desire to participate again.

The young detective team, having filled their stomachs, followed the dispersed flow of people and embarked on the familiar journey home.

“I ate so much today!”

Yuan Tai patted his belly with satisfaction, which was filled with a lot of pizza, sandwiches and sushi.

"Yuanta, you ate so much just now, you probably won't need to eat when you get home tonight, right?" Mitsuhiko complained with a sidelong glance.

Yuan Tai immediately glared and retorted, "How can that be? We still have to eat dinner!"

Ayumi also laughed and said, "After all, Genta is a big eater!"

Unlike the lively atmosphere of the three little ones, Conan and Haibara Ai were walking beside them, only one body length away from the three little ones, but it was so deserted as if they were in a world apart.

Conan frowned slightly, and kept thinking about Miyano Akemi's blood type in his mind.

If Miyano Akemi's blood type is really O type and Miyano Atsushi's blood type is AB type, then Miyano Akemi is not Miyano Atsushi's child.

At least not a biological child.

And Akemi Miyano is not Haibara Ai's biological sister.

Although they are not biological sisters, the bond between them goes beyond the bond called "blood relationship".

The only thing Conan is worried about is whether this is some ulterior motive behind someone's plan.

Could it be Elena Miyano?

……

The Young Detective Team was crossing an intersection. Yuan Tai had just crossed the zebra crossing and put down his raised hand when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
