Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 237 Funakoshi Naia
When Ishino carefully uncovered a corner of the pile of clothes on the floor, a steaming little head appeared in front of Xiao Ai, letting her see at a glance that there was a two or three-year-old child under the clothes.

Seeing that the child in front of him was sweating profusely, gasping for air and looking uncomfortable, Xiao Ai quickly stepped forward, took him out from under the table, and put him on top of the table to check the situation.

After touching the temperature of the other person's forehead with his hand, and then feeling the temperature of the other person's body and limbs, after confirming that the boy's surface temperature was only a little high and had no fever symptoms, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to carefully look at the other person's face. The appearance always feels like I have seen it somewhere.

As for the reason why Hiroki is like this now, it is because since he and Ishino broke up, he has tried to exercise in ways that are not easy to make sounds, such as push-ups, sit-ups, air squats, etc., and finally made himself satisfied. My head was sweating profusely, and I was really feeling a bit dehydrated and exhausted at the moment.

Seeing that the boy seemed to be still conscious, but his lips were dry and squirming, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. Xiao Ai looked around anxiously to find a source of drinkable water, and saw that his father had already come from the drinking fountain nearby. He took a glass of water from a disposable paper cup and handed it directly to her hand.

Only then did Xiao Ai notice that this room turned out to be a tea room, and her father was very considerate in taking care of people. He immediately noticed the boy's condition and handed over the water.

Taking the water glass from Ishino, Xiao Ai used her left hand to gently lift the little boy in front of her, and with her right hand, she carefully brought the water glass to the other person's mouth and slowly put it into his mouth.

After drinking almost half a glass of water, Hiroki's breathing was finally no longer so rapid, and most of the flush on his cheeks had faded. He finally reluctantly opened his eyes, and saw Xiaoai and Ishino clearly in front of him with his big round eyes. Surprise and confusion were written all over his face.

"Xiao Ai, and Uncle Ishino, why are you here?" Hiroki asked the question in a dry childish voice while trying hard to sit up straight. Suddenly his eyes widened with an expression of shock, "I What's going on? Why has my body become so small and my voice is a little strange!"

Hearing the little boy's words with a startled expression and the name he addressed himself, Xiao Ai noticed the clothes that were obviously a little too big on the other person's body, as well as the familiar blue and white color scheme of the clothes, and she also had a confused look on her face. He was shocked and said: "Hiroki-kun, is it you? Why are you here?!"

"After I escaped from home last night, I was suddenly caught and knocked unconscious by a man in black. When I woke up, I was here." Hiroki frowned and tried to remember.

"The man in black asked me to serve his organization. I didn't know what the other party's purpose was, so I didn't agree immediately. Soon after, the sound of police sirens came outside. The man in black seemed very nervous and forcefully drank it on me. I took one pill and left after that.”

"I lost consciousness after that. During the coma, I felt that my whole body was as hot and painful as if it was roasted by fire. When I woke up again, I saw you..." Hiroki shook his head hard and looked at him in confusion. Xiang Xiaoai asked, "So you saved me? Why did my body shrink?"

Since Hiroki's clothes had not been changed since yesterday, the stains on his clothes added authenticity to his statement.

Although he had already made a guess in his mind, hearing this from the other party's mouth still made Xiao Ai blame himself, thinking that the poison he invented had harmed another person.However, she didn't hesitate for long, and immediately spoke to comfort Hiroki: "Don't worry Hiroki, the man in black has escaped, and the bad guys here will soon be captured by the police outside. As for why we are here, Why your body has become smaller is a long story, I will explain it to you slowly after I return to the hotel."

"Really... I understand, so I was taken to near New York?" After hearing Xiao Ai's explanation, Hiroki nodded obediently and confirmed.

"Yes, this is the suburbs of New York." Seeing that the other party's mood had stabilized, Xiao Ai nodded, then remembered something and looked at the other party and asked, "By the way, Hiroki, do you still remember the appearance of the man in black? ?”

Hearing this, Hiroki shook his head helplessly and replied: "No, that person was always wearing a mask, but judging from his facial features and voice, he should be a slender European and American man."

"That's it..." Hearing Hiroki's answer, Xiao Ai felt a little disappointed in her heart and at the same time felt lucky and happy that the other party could escape death. Although she was not sure why Hiroki escaped from home and organized the kidnapping of him Feeling curious, but considering that this was not the place to talk in detail, he turned to Ishino and said, "In that case, let's take Hiroki back first."

Ishino nodded when he heard the words, then looked at Hiroki and reminded: "Hiroki, we will meet up with Qinglan and the others later. Your situation is special. It's best not to tell them your true identity for the time being. You also need to Just think of a fake name."

"Well, I know that since that organization is targeting me, the fewer people who know that I am still alive, the better..." Hiroki nodded seriously, and then after thinking for a moment, he immediately said, "Funakoshi Noa, I will use this name from now on."

Hearing that the name was taken from the pronunciation and meaning of Noah's Ark, Ishino nodded in approval, then picked up the somewhat weak Hiroki and took Xiao Ai back to the next room after completing the search.

The four people who were waiting quietly in the room saw that the two of them had gone out for a walk and brought back a little boy. They all looked curious. Aoko directly asked: "Brother Ishino, who is this child?"

"His name is Funakoshi Noa. We found him in a room. His parents are illegal immigrants from Japan. It seems that they died in some accident, so they were abducted here by the mafia." See everyone using Looking at him with doubtful eyes, Ishino told the reason he made up with a serious face.

"That's it, what a poor child..." Xiaolan, who learned about the little boy's tragic experience from Ishino, looked at Naia with a distressed look and said softly, "But little brother, you don't have to be afraid now, those bad guys will soon He will be arrested by the police."

"Mr. Ishino, what are you going to do with this child?" Qinglan, who was on the side, keenly noticed the clothes on Hiroki's body that were covered by Ishino's arms. She felt that the origin of the other person was not simple, so she coordinated with the other party's actions and proposed question.
