Chapter 744: A doghouse with three bedrooms and a living room was dug out overnight.
Hyde Park.
"Ms. Akiya!" Ran Mouri, holding the Corgi Shinichi, met Miyano Akemi, and Akai mother and daughter.
In fact, Mary Akai did not agree with meeting in the park. Vermouth probably thought she was dead, but the existence of her daughter Sera Masumi was an obstacle for Vermouth to use her identity to infiltrate MI6. It was not known whether she would give up directly or continue to search for Sera Masumi.
Although the Black Organization didn't know what Sera Masumi looked like, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. But if they were unlucky and ran into Vermouth's men, both the mother and daughter and the sisters would be in danger.
But after hearing her concerns, Miyano Akemi obviously didn't take them to heart at all and insisted on going out to meet him. She said that they would only be in London for three days and how could they stay in the hotel all the time without visiting the main attractions?
With Akai Mary's keen eyesight in observing her targets, could she vaguely sense that Miyano Akemi was this kid, eager to be discovered?
Besides, they didn't come here for themselves, they went abroad simply for tourism... In Akai Mary's opinion, this was incredibly brave.
Seventeen years ago, Akai Tsutomu disappeared. The last contact before he lost contact was to ask her to take the children and flee to Japan. If Vermouth hadn't pretended to be Akai Tsutomu and led her to England, she would have hidden in Japan for the rest of her life.
Although she couldn't understand the sisters' courage, Mary Akai felt only love and a sense of indebtedness towards the two children, so she allowed them to go on the trip together.
"Hi, Ran!" Miyano Akemi turned her head to look at the junior high school student who was pulling the brim of his hat next to her: "Aunt Mary, this is my friend, Mao Lilan. Her father is a famous detective."
"Ms. Akiya..." Maori Ran was embarrassed. Everyone knew how Maori Kogoro got his fame. Wasn't it making fun of her by introducing this?
However, Mary Akai did know about Kogoro Mouri through TV and newspapers. Besides, before going out, Miyano Akemi actually told her about Xiaolan, Professor Agasa and others, and even the Junior Detective League who surrounded Ai from time to time.
The only thing was the matter of the man dressed as Sherlock Holmes. Even when Akai Mary asked about it, Miyano Akemi was vague. But considering that he saved the two sisters, it was normal for them to keep the secret for him.
"Xiao Lan, I've already told you beforehand, this is my aunt, Mary."
Looking at the junior high school girl in front of her, who is said to be a mother of three children, Mao Lilan felt a little weird.
"Hello Ms. Mary."
"Ran! Nice to see you again! You've grown so big!" The cheerful Sera Masumi approached over Akai Mari's head and asked, "Do you remember me?"
Xiaolan looked embarrassed: Who is this boy? I have never seen him before?
Corgi Shinichi: Where did this sociable guy come from?
"Wow, I was forgotten! So sad!" The boy who suddenly squeezed over shouted like a comedian.
Who is it? I have heard that Ms. Mary has two sons and a daughter, but isn't it said that only the eldest son, Mr. Okiya, and the youngest daughter are in London? Speaking of which, I didn't see Mr. Okiya coming with them.
"Ran, this idiot is my little daughter, Masumi. I've always let her take my old surname, Sera."
"Hi~" The 'boy' smiled and waved to greet him: "I'm Sera Masumi."
"Hi, hello... Hey——!" Xiaolan was a little slow to react: "Girl!??"
"I'm mistaken for a boy again!" It's obvious that Sera Masumi is used to this. She complained while holding her hands under her breasts in an unpresentable manner... But for something that doesn't exist, it's useless to gesture: "I'm so sorry, I have a flat chest!"
He always has a playful look on his face when he complains.
Then she gestured towards Akai Mari, "But it doesn't matter! My mom is super busty, so genetically I hope it's still big!"
Xiaolan couldn't help but look at Akai Mary: Hmm... this junior high school student's current form is not very convincing.
Then, sitting side by side on a park bench, Sera Masumi finally brought up the old story with Xiaolan. It turned out that their family, including their mother and three siblings, had met Kudo Shinichi and Xiaolan at the beach ten years ago. Sera Masumi still remembered that Akai Mari had told the siblings, "Don't reveal that we are British. Tell people we are from the United States." Then, Kudo Yukiko, who was standing next to her, recognized that Akai Mari was British because of the way she called French fries (Japanese: fried potato, American: french fries, British: chips), which was a vivid slap in the face.
So it was them... A certain Corgi under the bench, like Xiaolan, gradually regained his memory during the conversation. After all, he had encountered the case at that time, and he had a very deep memory of what happened then.
Come to think of it, the big brother who could play the accordion at that time... was indeed Mr. Akai. At that time, I was young and foolish and even "deduced" that Mr. Akai was a clown by profession.
Bridge Bean Sacks!
It turns out that Mr. Akai has seen himself as a child!
Corgi Shinichi, who was lying leisurely under the bench, suddenly looked up with his eyes wide open.
Is there a possibility that Mr. Akai has already recognized himself as the smaller Kudo Shinichi?
Although it was just a trivial matter from ten years ago, Mr. Akai may have forgotten it long ago, but it is also possible that he just happened to remember it. Doesn't Masumi Sera remember it clearly? Even if Mr. Akai doesn't remember it, Masumi Sera may tell him about it to help him remember it!
Conan has been acting cute and acting like a child in front of Shuichi Akai and the FBI. Although Shuichi Akai already knew about the existence of the drug that shrinks, it is not difficult to guess that he is a shrinking person with Conan's smart mind. But there is no evidence, and Conan and the FBI have rarely had any contact with Kudo Shinichi's identity. Even if he lent the house to Shuichi Akai, he was trying to avoid letting him know the owner's information.
In this way, even if Shuichi Akai guessed that he was the one who had shrunk, he might not be able to guess that he was the shrunk Shinichi Kudo.
But now it seems that Mr. Akai has already known it, right? If I often act stupid or cute in front of him, wouldn't I be laughing at myself all the time?
When he thought of this possibility, which had a slight probability of existing, and then thought of his performance in front of Akai Shuichi, Corgi Shinichi felt uncomfortable and wanted to roll on the ground. In fact, he was already digging the ground with all four legs in awkwardness.
If it doesn't find something else to divert its attention, it will sooner or later dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room doghouse for itself.
Above their heads, Xiaolan and Sera Masumi were talking more and more intimately. As both of them were high school girls, the topic slowly began to shift towards the daily life of high school students. The little Corgi was very bored listening to them, and when he was bored, he would continue to think about the fact that his identity had been exposed, and then he would transform into a 'digging Corgi' and continue to dig holes awkwardly.
No! Do something!
I've already arrived at Hyde Park, but I haven't even taken a good look around yet! We've been sitting and chatting since we entered the park. You might as well go to a cafe and chat!
Conan Shinichi complained while shaking his head, and suddenly found that the dog leash around his neck was loosened a little.
First this, then this, and then this! Corgi Shinichi untied himself from the leash, and then quietly left under the bench one step at a time.
You guys keep chatting, I'm going for a walk. Although without a leash, it is likely to be regarded as a stray dog, but the people who hunt stray dogs only patrol the streets and generally don't run into the park, it doesn't matter~
When the little Corgi left, he looked back and found that Huibara Ai, who was holding a magazine, looked at him with sidelong eyes, but seemed too lazy to say anything, and his eyes fell back on the fashion magazine in his hand.
Oh~yeah~The little Corgi is like a wild dog that has broken free from its reins, running away happily.
The scenery is so beautiful on a sunny day, with red flowers and green grass. I happily ran forward and walked all over the park. The dog is not old yet...
“Woof woof woof! (Help!) Woof woof woof! (Help!) Woof woof woof woof (Someone come and save me!)”
A voice calling for help in dog language came to my ears.
Corgi Shinichi looked in the direction of the sound and found a corgi splashing in the creek.
Martin? Seeing the familiar yellow and white color scheme, Conan's first reaction was Martin. But then he realized that it was definitely not Martin, and then he looked around and couldn't find anyone to ask for help within his sight... Go it yourself!
How can there be a dog that can't swim? You can doggy paddle!
While complaining, Corgi Shinichi jumped into the water to save the dog.
Not much of the body is floating on the surface. If I had less fat, I would probably sink to the bottom, right? Is this what it means to be fat but not drown?
No! How come the butt is floating up and the head is sinking down? As soon as the little Corgi entered the water, he discovered a horrible fact. Because the fat was concentrated in the buttocks, his center of gravity was obviously shifted to the head. Gravity and buoyancy did not fall on the same point. They worked together to push him into the water!
Fortunately, the little Corgi had learned fancy dog paddling at a technical school in Hawaii. He practiced in the water for a long time and kept treading water to keep his head above the water. He tilted his head upwards and looked "down" to see the road ahead.
It was just a little bit off. If my treading water was a little slower, my mouth would sink below the water surface and I would become a corgi drunk with soup.
Even so, the little Corgi approached the struggling fish in front of it, bit its upturned tail, and dragged it ashore.
"Oh, thank God, man, thank you!" The rescued Corgi thanked while turning back and forth from head to toe to shake himself dry.
Some of the water flew onto Corgi Shinichi, who dodged backwards while saying, "You're welcome..."
Suddenly, an autumn breeze blew by, reminding it that it was also soaking wet and needed to dry itself quickly to avoid catching a cold... Eh? How to dry itself?
These days, Xiaolan uses a hair dryer to dry it directly after giving it a bath... Does she shake off the water like it does?
The little Corgi, who had never mastered the skill, tried it out by shaking his head, then faster and faster. After getting used to the feeling of the reciprocating swing, he tried to spread the force to his whole body... Hey, I can do it! And it feels good.
Luo Tangji, who was standing aside, had just dried himself when some river water began to drip down from the sky. It was thrown by the guy opposite who had saved him.
So it started shaking again, shaking off the water that Corgi Shinichi had thrown on it.
I'm getting more and more proficient at shaking! I'm already a master! Corgi Shinichi felt that he had almost dried himself, and just as he stopped, some of the water thrown out by Luo Tangji on the opposite side was thrown onto him.
In the end, the two dogs did nothing for a long time, and just splashed water at each other to show their friendship.
Luo Tangji stopped until the last few drops of water did not fall on any dog: "Let me introduce myself, but you have to keep my identity secret. I am..."
Corgi Shinichi suddenly answered: "The Queen of England's chief corgi, Rex. Right?"
"Oh, I knew it. I'm so famous, everyone knows me." Chief Corgi Rex said intoxicated and narcissistically.
"No, I don't know you." Corgi Shinichi poured cold water on it: "It's just that your identity and name are written on your collar."
Luotangji... Rex wears a platinum collar with gold flakes on the surface. A line of words is etched on the gold flakes, namely, 'Royal Chief Corgi, Rex'
"Ah? You said my name is written here?" There are not many Corgis who can read, at least the chief Corgi in front of him can't.
Corgi nodded: "If you are indeed Rex."
"Of course I am! But I don't want anyone to know now." Rex immediately kicked his neck hard, took off the golden collar from his head, shook his head and hid in the grass by the roadside.
"Are you running away from home?"
"Yes, the Queen wants me to find a partner, but... I don't like her very much." Rex shook his head in embarrassment: "Why am I telling you this? Of course I will come back, but I will have to wait until she is sent away or the Queen changes her mind."
Having said that, Rex ran away in a certain direction without looking back.
Corgi Shinichi looked at his back and felt that something troublesome was going to happen.
At this moment, it saw two people in the red uniforms of the Royal Guard running towards it from the opposite direction, bending over and searching around while pushing aside the bushes.
Members of the Royal Guard must be here to look for the dog!
Thinking of this, Corgi Shinichi immediately found the golden collar that Rex had hidden in the grass, ran towards the two guards with it in his mouth, then raised one of his front paws and pointed in the direction Rex had left, meaning: the owner of this collar ran in that direction, you should go and chase him.
However, the two royal guards looked at each other and stepped forward together. One of them held Corgi Shinichi down, while the other took the golden collar out of its mouth and put it around Corgi Shinichi's neck.
"Rex has been found." A member of the Royal Guard took out a walkie-talkie and reported.
Huh? Where did you find it? And why did you put this collar around my neck?
The little Corgi stared, looked down at himself who was lifted up by the other party, and then he understood.
Do they consider themselves the chief dog?
