Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 204 Melancholy Hiroki

Listening to the girls in front of him vividly talking about their colorful daily lives, Hiroki Sawada compared these with his almost gray years when he could only be with a computer for company. It would be impossible not to envy him. of.

Although when the other party talked about encountering serial murders and encountering evil murderers, the two of them were really worried, but these experiences made him feel that what the other party was doing was real life, and he was just "living". .

"It's great. I really want to go back to Japan and see the cherry blossoms in my hometown..." After hearing the story of the two people's experiences, Hiroki Sawada looked out the window at the high-rise buildings and couldn't help but sigh.

"Since we can come to the United States from Japan, Hiroki, you can also travel to Japan." Hearing the other party's emotion, Kosaki was a little confused, but still suggested with a smile, "Wait until next spring, Hiroki How about you come to Tokyo to see us and we take you to see the cherry blossoms together?"

Seeing the other party's sincere invitation to him, Hiroki Sawada thought that he might no longer be in this world by then. But at this moment, he didn't want to let down the other party's good intentions. He nodded and agreed with a forced smile: "Okay. Ah, I’ll leave it to you when the time comes.”

In fact, he had a lot of depression and grievances in his heart at the moment and wanted to express it to the two peers in front of him, but in front of the bodyguards, he was worried that he would accidentally say something detrimental to Thomas, and the two people he had just Make friends who are involved in unnecessary danger.

In desperation, he had no choice but to bury the depression deep in his heart. Maybe the computer screen without any emotion was the only place where he could vent his thoughts...

After ending this topic, Xiao Ai took the initiative to ask the other party some questions about computers. When hearing the other party talk about his best field, Sawada Hiroki seemed to be a completely different person. The state of passive listening before suddenly turned into a chatterbox.

Seeing Sawada Hiroki's current talkative appearance, Xiao Ai and Xiao Saki understood it, and continued chatting with each other on this topic, until even Xiao Ai couldn't keep up with the other party's thinking, Sawada Hiro Shucai gradually realized that he was a little too proud, so he interrupted the topic embarrassedly.

At this moment, Thomas took Ishino and Natsumi back to the observation room. The three children realized that the sky outside was already turning red, and it was obvious that the time had reached the evening while they were chatting enthusiastically.

During this time, Ishino and Natsumi also discussed with Thomas Schindler in a high-end cafe near the hospital about participating in the project development of a new immersive game console "Cocoon" and reached a preliminary cooperation. intention.

When the three of them returned here and saw Hiroki Sawada's face which was slightly rosier than when they left, Thomas smiled with satisfaction and said to Natsumi: "Hahaha, it seems that Hiroki and the two ladies can chat well. , in this case, it is better to let them, who are also young geniuses, communicate and learn more, I believe that the Kaosaka Foundation and the Schindler Group can become good strategic partners in many years to come."

Seeing that the other party had obviously set his sights on his daughter, Ishiye did not intend to expose the other party's Xiao Jiujiu. Instead, he took advantage of this topic and suggested: "Yes, it's rare for children to meet someone they can talk to in this foreign country." Friends, you should have more contact with them.”

"I heard that you came to New York this time to attend important meetings for several consecutive days. I was worried about Hiroki being alone at home, so I brought him here with me. I think it's better to let Hiroki-kun go out with us to play around. Occasionally Relaxing is also helpful for the child's growth, don't you think?" Although he didn't feel comfortable letting Hiroki Sawada out of his control, considering that the other party's proposal was completely reasonable, and it was unlikely that Hiroki would let Hiroki know that He casually tells his secrets to people he has just met. On the contrary, this is an excellent opportunity to get closer to the Kasaka Foundation.

After thinking for a moment and weighing the pros and cons, Thomas smiled and nodded in agreement: "Since you two don't mind the trouble, let Quanzi accompany you to visit the scenery here. However, considering your safety here, please My bodyguard is allowed to accompany me. If you need anything, just ask him."

Ishino didn't intend to kidnap Hiroki directly under the other party's nose, and he didn't mind the other party's arrangement of bodyguards to protect but actually monitor him. He nodded and agreed to the other party's suggestion.

Seeing that the two sides reached a consensus, Xia Mei smiled and looked at Hiroki on the hospital bed and asked, "Hiroki-kun, do you want to come out to play with us? If you feel that your body hasn't recovered or you don't want to, don't force yourself. "

As the person involved, Hiroki couldn't help but feel an unreal feeling when he heard that his adoptive father actually agreed to let him go out with the Ishino family. After all, he had never been allowed such relaxation and entertainment before, but was like a He is locked up in a cage like a canary and can only see some of the outside scenery through TV and the Internet.

However, he quickly guessed what Thomas was thinking from the previous conversation between the two of them. He simply hoped that he could have a good relationship or even become friends with Haihara Ai, who was also a genius child and was also adopted, so as to help him. He solidifies business partnerships.

When he thought that the other party was just trying his best to squeeze his own use value, and when he was useless, he would kill himself, the person who knew his ulterior secrets, the joy and hope that Hiroki Sawada had just sprouted disappeared in an instant without a trace.

But when Hiroki, who was hesitating whether he should refuse due to physical discomfort, saw Natsumi's gentle eyes, he suddenly felt as if he was wrapped in some kind of warm magic, as if the soul deep in his heart was beyond his control and he wanted greedily. Taking in more warmth, he was unable to say the words of rejection.

"Hiroki, I heard you said that you have been studying at MIT and been busy with your studies. You probably don't have much time to go out and play. You see, you have thin arms and legs. If you lack exercise, your brain will become more and more stupid!" Seeing that the other party seemed a little entangled, Xiao Ai persuaded him in a joking tone, "By the way! I think I just said these things to Edogawa this morning. I think the two of you should be able to talk about avoiding exercise. "

"Edogawa?" Sawada Hiroki couldn't help but asked curiously when Xiao Ai mentioned this unfamiliar name.

"The full name of the person Xiao Ai is talking about is Edogawa Conan. He is a boy who is with us. He likes to play detective and puzzle games." Seeing Hiroki's curiosity, Xiaosaki on the side helped explain, "Because he is very physical. Xu often catches colds, so Xiao Ai used some methods to let him do morning exercises with us every morning."
