Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 220 Transfer
Looking at her dirty appearance, Grace felt that she had soiled the clean bed. She nodded apologetically and wanted to get up and go to the bathroom to take a shower, but as soon as she landed, she found that her feet were a little weak. He felt weak and almost fell down.

Belmore, who had quick eyesight and quick hands, had to help Grace, and then without saying a word, he picked up Grace's frail and boneless body and walked into the bathroom, helping her to clean her hair, the mud on her body, and the wounds she had touched. Cleaned it up carefully.

Since there were no clothes suitable for children at home, Bellmore had to let Grace put on her shirt for the time being and put the dirty clothes she had taken off in bags.

Considering that there may be mafia people outside who are tracking Grace's whereabouts, Bellmore has no choice but to take her out to buy clothes for the time being. And with the girl's current situation, it is obvious that she cannot be left alone at home to go shopping on her own.

After taking a look at Grace and Xiaosaki's somewhat similar body shapes, Bellmore decided to take her back to the hotel to borrow a set of children's clothes from Natsumi. After all, it was impossible for the little girl to know any anti-tracking skills. Maybe the mafia would come. That’s where the trace came.

After explaining her considerations to Grace, the little girl also knew that she had brought a lot of trouble to Belmore, so no matter what the other person said or what she asked her to do, she just nodded and agreed, as if she was determined to do so. It's like grabbing the last straw and not daring to let go.

Belmore carefully cleaned up the traces of his and Grace's activities, then packed up the used daily necessities together with the clothes Grace had bagged before, took the other person into the car and left, heading towards the hotel. Rush in the direction.

When she returned to the hotel with Grace, the sky had not completely darkened yet, and a group of girls who were going shopping seemed to plan to have dinner outside before coming back, so there were still only Ishino and Hiroki in the hotel at the moment.

Considering that Hiroki's current situation was not suitable for others to discover, Belmode did not go back to his room, but knocked on Ishino's door with Grace.

Ishino, who was checking Boston news on his mobile phone at the moment, had just confirmed that Thomas had not chosen to call the police or publicize Hiroki's disappearance when he suddenly heard the footsteps of two people, one large and one small, approaching outside the door, and then there was a knock on the door. the sound of.

After confirming that the rhythm of knocking on the door was the definite communication code between him and Belmod, Ishino stood up and opened the door. Only Belmod quickly walked into the room with a little girl wearing an adult blouse and He closed the door smoothly.

When he first saw the little girl hiding behind Belmode, holding on to her sleeves, Ishino was a little stunned and surprised, but the memory in his brain immediately reacted to the little girl and helped him find the corresponding information. , allowing him to instantly understand the situation and regain his composure.

"Miss Chris, you came to me in such a hurry, what happened?" In front of the little girl, Ishino used his and Belmode's apparent relationship to address each other, "This little girl behind you Who is the girl?"

Hearing Ishino's name to him, Bellmore knew that his junior brother had entered the mode of cooperating with the acting, so he asked Grace to come to him and explained: "Her name is Aihara Grace, she was from when I was filming a public service advertisement. The child I knew seemed to be in some trouble, so she ran to my house." "She looked unkempt at the time, so I gave her a bath, but there were no children's clothes at home, and I saw that she looked very similar to Xiao Ai. , her body shape is similar to that of Xiaosaki, so I thought of bringing her over to borrow a set of clothes from you for emergency use."

"No problem, then I'll look for it now." After saying that, Ishino turned around and took out the suitcase from the closet, found a few pieces of underwear and casual clothes that Xiaosaki had not worn, and put them on the bed and said, "These clothes are from Xiaosaki. It’s a spare one, you can try it on first to see if it fits.”

After saying that, Ishino motioned for the two of them to help themselves, and he walked out of the room directly to the corridor to wait for the other party to finish changing clothes. After all, his daughter did not let him be present when changing clothes. How could he have the nerve to watch a nine-year-old girl change clothes?

Seeing Ishino leaving the room neatly, Belmore lowered his head and asked Grace if she could change her clothes. After getting a nod from the girl in response, she also walked out of the room and found Ishino standing at the end of the passage looking at the scenery.

"Tell me, what happened? What trouble did that little girl get into?" Seeing Belmore walking towards him, Ishino asked calmly.

Seeing the calm look on the other party's face, Belmore was also curious, and said with a playful smile: "Why do you just ask this? Didn't you feel a little bit surprised and curious when you saw the child's appearance?" ?"

"I'm a little bit curious, but not surprised at all." Seeing Belmore's questioning look, Ishino explained calmly, "The child does look very similar to Xiao Ai, but it's obvious that she is just an ordinary person. She is a little girl, and her temperament is completely different from that of Xiao Ai. Besides, there are many people who look alike in the world, so there is nothing surprising about this."

"I feel a little fussed when you say that." Hearing a straight man like Ishino speak, Belmore raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "But don't you think that if she is here, Xiao Ai's identity will be even more difficult. Has anyone discovered it? After all, if she is the only one who looks like Shirley when she was a child, she might still be suspected, but if there is an almost identical child next to her, others will most likely think it is just a coincidence."

"You are right to say that." After listening to Belmore's words, Ishino raised the corner of his mouth and directly exposed the other person's little thoughts and said, "But senior sister, if you really like this child so much, you want to She keeps it with me, so just say it directly, there is no need to specifically look for excuses from Xiao Ai."

Although Belmore tried his best to sound like a coincidence and a casual tone when explaining why he brought Grace with him before, Shi Ye, who understood the other party, knew very well that if he didn't particularly like this little girl, With Belmode's temperament, there is a high probability that she would not be so concerned about her, and would personally bring her to find him. The most he could do would be to hand her over to the police for protection, which would be the end of his benevolence.

Seeing that Belmore was a little angry and didn't want to speak after his mind was revealed, Ishino didn't pay much attention to it, but continued to ask: "Since you proposed the idea of ​​taking her with you, it means that she is currently encountering a situation that makes her have to Regarding the trouble of leaving the United States, you might as well tell me the specific situation, and we can analyze whether there is a better solution."
