Have You Confessed Your Love Today? Chapter 40

Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Secret

After seeing off the newlyweds Kaneda Kazuichi and Nanase Miyuki, the ward returned to a quiet atmosphere.

Zhufu Gaoming smiled and said, “You have a really good relationship. It’s rare to see you so lively and enlightened.”

Mingzhi Jianwu paused for a moment, then pretended to be teasing and tried: “Lively is not the word that should be used to describe a man of my age. Are you jealous, Gao Ming?”

Zhufu said matter-of-factly: “Ah, because I am the one who has known Jianwu for a longer time. It is reasonable for me to feel a little subtle when I see a side of Jianwu that he doesn’t usually show in front of others.”

Akechi Akechi was still high-spirited when he was in his twenties, and he had the aura of a young genius. He was in a high position at a young age, and it was natural for him to be a little arrogant.

Now in his thirties, Akechi Kenwu is still in the first echelon of the Rockets as he has been promoted in the professional team, but his more than ten years of work experience is enough for him to cultivate the introverted temperament of his superiors.

As they were joking around with their friends like that just now, it can only be said that the relationship between this pair of friends who have an age difference of eleven years is indeed very good.

Zhu Fu Gaoming prides himself on being one of the wisest and wisest friends, but perhaps because of their age, the two of them still treat each other in a warm and cozy way when they stay together…

No, in fact, the two people who are busy with their careers have not seen each other for a long time.If Zhufu Gaoming hadn’t been injured this year, followed by Akechi Kengo’s injury, they wouldn’t have had time together to sum up their style.With the frequency with which they meet, it’s already good that they haven’t become unfamiliar with each other.

Thinking of this, Zhu Fu Gaoming’s mood became even more subtle.

Mingzhi Jianwu looked at Zhu Fu Gaoming as if he was joking, and for a moment he was not sure of his true thoughts.

Zhufu Gaoming looked at Mingzhi Jianwu’s frown and asked with concern: “Jianwu, what’s wrong with you? Does the wound hurt?”

“No.” Akechi Kenwu also sighed helplessly in a joking tone, “I just suddenly realized that I don’t understand you as I imagined.”

Zhufu Gaoming looked at him in surprise: “Jianwu?”

Akechi Kenwu smiled slightly and changed the subject calmly: “The people you admire, Gao Ming, are really interesting.”

Zhufu Gaoming was silent for a moment, then he smiled and said jokingly: “Isn’t the person I admire most the most, Jianwu you?”

Akechi and Kanwu leaned back against the head of the bed, using the short time to brainstorm, and said calmly, “I’m referring to the little detective you mentioned to me.”

“Conan-kun?” Zhuofu Gaoming was thinking about Edogawa Conan’s recent actions, but he didn’t expect anything special. “Is it related to the recording you just gave him?”

Ming Mingzhi raised the corners of his mouth, and his iris-colored eyes showed a serious color in the shadows: “Well, I heard something very interesting.”

Zhu Fu Gaoming glanced at him and felt some interest in his heart: “It seems like some very difficult news?”

“That depends on the extent of the news.” Mingzhi Jianwu said, “It seems to be controllable at the moment.”

“Oh?” Zhu Fu Gaoming raised his eyebrows.

“But that won’t be the case if they continue to act unscrupulously.” Akechi Kenwu sighed, “I hope they can learn their lesson.”

Zhu Fu Gaoming looked at him doubtfully.

Akechi Kenwu raised his fingers in front of his lips and let out a soft “shush”. His eyes could not be seen clearly due to the white reflection of the lenses, and he could only see a smile on his lips.

Zhu Fugao knew it was interesting and stopped asking, but he had already started to play back all the Edogawa Conan-related scenes in his mind, trying to find out the secret of the little detective.

“Sneeze! Sneeze! Sneeze!” Edogawa Conan sneezed three times in a row and blinked blankly.

Mao Lilan asked worriedly: “Conan, do you have a cold?”

“No, Sister Lan.” Edogawa Conan quickly raised his face and smiled at Maori Lan, “It’s just an itchy nose.”

Mao Lilan looked at him with concern, touched his forehead again, and then felt relieved after confirming that Edogawa Conan was not sick, and warned: “Conan must tell me if you feel uncomfortable!”

“Yeah!” Edogawa Conan nodded heavily, with a well-behaved look on his face.

As soon as Mao Lilan looked away, the first-grade primary school student immediately changed his face, thinking deeply with an expression that a primary school student would never have.

Mao Lilan said with emotion: “I really didn’t expect that Mr. Kindaichi chose not to be a detective for this reason.”

“Yes.” Edogawa Conan responded absently.He wasn’t thinking about Kindaichi, it was his own choice whether to be a detective or not.He was thinking about what Kengo Akechi said when he recorded him.

He still remembered that the recording was one that Hattori ordered to delete, but because of Kengo Akechi’s assassination, the matter was postponed.Now that Hattori has successfully confessed his love, Akechi Kengo suddenly mentioned this matter and asked him to hear why?

Just in time, Mao Lilan also asked here: “Conan, what recording did Mr. Mingzhi give you?”

“It’s nothing, Sister Ran. It was a recording that was accidentally recorded when Brother Heiji solved the case last time. Mr. Akechi promised that Brother Heiji would delete it for him.” Edogawa Conan dismissed Mao Lilan in a relaxed tone, and his eyes darkened.

He was stroking the USB flash drive with his hand, and thinking of the wise and enlightened look on his face, he couldn’t convince himself to let go no matter what.Edogawa Conan said in a pretended cheerful tone: “Sister Xiaolan, I suddenly remembered that the doctor asked me to help him try out a game, so I went directly to the doctor’s house!”

“Huh?” Mao Lilan looked at Conan Edogawa’s back in surprise, “Then will you come back for dinner tonight, Conan?”

“No, I will stay at the doctor’s house tonight and go back tomorrow! Goodbye, Sister Xiaolan!” After saying that, Edogawa Conan quickly ran to Dr. Agasa’s house.

Haibara Ai looked at Edogawa Conan running in, and teased with a little surprise: “Aren’t you going to the hospital to visit a patient today? Is there someone chasing you from behind?”

Edogawa Conan waved his hand: “Let me use the computer.”

“What’s wrong?” Haibara Ai looked at Edogawa Conan with a solemn expression as he inserted the USB flash drive into the computer and clicked on the audio, “Did you record something amazing again?”

Edogawa Conan shook his head.

Hattori Heiji’s voice came from the computer speakers.

Haibara Ai had a strange look on her face as she ate a bowl of dog food with the serious Edogawa Conan: “You came back in such a hurry just to hear this?”

“Of course not.” Edogawa Conan pulled the audio back to the beginning in confusion, “Akechi Police asked me to listen to it and said the content was very interesting.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Haibara Ai made a copy of the audio and put it on her mobile phone. “It’s interesting to see how confused you are when you make sure he doesn’t mean that famous detective from Kansai.”

“I’m sure that at the time… he felt it wasn’t teasing, it was more than teasing.” Edogawa Conan looked at Haibara Ai’s movements and reminded, “Hattori has successfully confessed.”

Huihara Ai said: “Oh, does that have anything to do with me wanting to tease them?”

Edogawa Conan shut his mouth.

“This clip is very suitable to be released at their wedding.” Haihara Ai accurately commented, and planned to do so in the future, together with another audio piece.

Edogawa Conan nodded in agreement and joked: “It’s a very good wedding gift.”

“But we need to edit it before and after.” Haibara Ai said, “The words of Section Chief Akechi make sense. You detectives just take the case too seriously… There is no need to analyze the case later.”

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Edogawa Conan’s mind: “The length of the audio is wrong! If Mr. Akechi just wants to provide material for Hattori’s wedding, there is no need to provide such a long audio.”

Even the voice of Akechi Kengo and Kenmochi Police Department talking later has nothing to do with Hattori Heiji.

Haibara Ai and Edogawa Conan looked at each other, and skillfully operated the computer to reduce the noise of the audio, increase the volume of the vocal track, then separate the audio track and play the audio again.

So the two of them listened again to the short passage about Hattori Heiji’s dejected failure to confess, followed by the sound of Kengo Akechi walking away and talking to the Kenmori Police Department.

At this point, another track begins to make its presence felt.Hattori Heiji’s voice came faintly: “Kudo…”

The expressions of Edogawa Conan and Haibara Ai suddenly changed.
