Chapter 182 The Child Who Can Teleport
A cool night breeze blew by as Akutagawa Hiko sat cross-legged on the balcony. Each improvement in his strength was always so pleasing to him. It could be said that he was now a powerful Kage with no weaknesses except for his slightly inferior physical skills.
The sudden ringing of the phone broke the silence, but Akutagawa Hiko didn't mind at all. Even without this call, the three noisy guys in the house wouldn't be able to keep quiet once they came looking for him.
The next morning, Akutagawa Hiko followed the bustling crowd to Beika Park.
Because Akutagawa Hiko occasionally walks his dog here, he is quite familiar with the place, but this is the first time he has seen a large-scale event held here.
A group of children gathered together to run errands in the Beikacho shopping street, relying entirely on their own abilities to complete the items on the shopping list.
Akutagawa Hiko recalled that there was a very cute child who accidentally stumbled upon a murder scene. The murderer tried several times to stage an accident to cover it up, but in the end, the murderer was moved by the child's actions.
Ran looked very happy, which was in stark contrast to Kogoro Mouri next to her. However, Kogoro Mouri, who was fast asleep, looked like he hadn't woken up yet, which was surprisingly reasonable.
Akutagawa greeted Ran and then decided to find a random place to watch the excitement.
Unexpectedly, the organizers, seeing such a readily available source of traffic, directly pulled Akutagawa Hiko to sit on the judges' table and wrote his name and profession on the spot in a flamboyant manner. Unable to refuse such a warm invitation, Akutagawa Hiko did not refuse.
Akutagawa Hiko would generally not refuse an opportunity to increase his exposure and earn money.
"Oh, Ai Haibara was dragged along too."
Recently, Ai has been staying at home and has even taken a few days off from school, saying that the experiment has reached a critical stage and it seems that the temporary antidote has been developed.
However, we haven't seen or heard of Shinichi Kudo recently. It seems that Ai took his words to heart and didn't let Conan know about the temporary antidote.
Ran replied with a smile, "Yes, I heard that Ai was sick and only recovered yesterday. The weather is so nice today, so Conan and Ayumi went together to invite Ai to this event."
Xiao Lan was deeply impressed by this slightly aloof little girl with an inexplicable melancholy air, especially since she also possessed excellent cooking skills beyond her years.
Ran was initially a little unhappy that Professor Agasa, who was so old, was making Ai cook. But after eating it once, she didn't have much to say. Compared to the mature Ai, the professor sometimes seemed more childish.
Kogoro Mouri yawned widely, glanced at the children who looked bewildered at the shopping list, and said listlessly, "Kids are kids, good luck."
Ran Mouri nudged her dad's arm, which was propping up his head: "Dad, cheer up louder and with more feeling! And Conan, don't fall behind!"
Conan's lips twitched. He really didn't know why he had accepted this commission. Wouldn't it be better to use this time to train or read detective novels? Why did he have to come and film this errand-running activity?
Soon, Conan received even more devastating news from Ayumi: the request wasn't something someone else had approached them for, but rather something Ayumi had painstakingly obtained.
Seeing Conan's expression, Genta Kojima glared angrily: "Do you have a problem with that, Conan?!"
Honestly, even when he was still an ordinary person, Conan wouldn't be afraid of Kojima Genta's sheer size, let alone now.
However, it would be too undignified to argue with a child, even though he looks to be only six or seven years old.
In addition to promotion, this event also aims to cultivate children's independence.
Adults can offer no assistance in this activity other than protecting the children's safety.
What seems like an easy task to adults and even elementary school students, as long as the items on the list aren't unfamiliar, is not so easy for kindergarten children.
Some children had to go back and ask their mothers every time they got lost; some cried because they got lost; some threw away their shopping lists to buy their favorite desserts, snacks, drinks, and toys; and some went into an electronic toy store and refused to leave, etc.
This left Conan and the others who were tracking and filming quite exhausted.
Akutagawa Hiko had never participated in such an event before, whether as a participant or a spectator. Now, watching it, he found it quite interesting, which broadened his horizons and gave him a deeper understanding of what real children are like.
Soon, today's main character, Xiao Hong, made his appearance.
However, instead of rushing to the shopping street to finish shopping like the other children, he stayed in place playing with his Kamen Rider doll.
Akutagawa Hiko didn't feel much resonance. Although he was also an only child, he often went out and played with a group of friends. Unless he had insomnia at night, he basically didn't have any time to entertain himself.
After playing in place for a while, Xiao Hong ran off.
It has to be said that he really knows how to pick a route, crossing the tracks at the perfect time. Conan and the others had to stop and wait for the train to pass before they could cross the tracks.
However, the person has already been lost.
Akutagawa Hiko pressed his temples. To be honest, the person in charge of this event was a bit irresponsible. It was one thing to supervise and protect people who looked like a bunch of kids, but shouldn't they have intervened to prevent them from going completely off track?
Seeing Akutagawa Hikaru stand up, Ran quickly asked, "Hikaru, where are you going?"
Akutagawa Hiko stretched: "Hiroshi has deviated from the route, and he's gone through an area with heavy traffic. I'm a little worried and want to follow him to check on him."
Hearing this, Xiaolan felt a sudden pang of panic: "I'll go too."
Akutagawa Hiko did not refuse and followed the direction the group had left in. He quickly found Conan and the others in an open area by following the traces they left behind.
Looking around, they couldn't find the target Conan and his friends were following and filming: "Where's Hiro?"
Seemingly startled by the two people's somewhat serious expressions, Ayumi stammered, "We just saw Hiro here, but he was gone when we came over."
Akutagawa Hiko thought about Hiro's performance and admired the boy who had lost the Junior Detective League members several times. It was as if he had learned to teleport.
Conan, enhanced to +10, and Ai, enhanced to +5, despite having three burdens and not being very serious, managed to shake them off, which is quite remarkable.
This ability to let go is truly remarkable for a child of this age.
