"Yes, we know each other. She is my friend." Xiao Ai looked up calmly, "Is there any problem, Teacher Judy?"

I was stunned and looked at the little girl in front of me in surprise.

Xiao Ai, who has always been mature and reserved, can actually say "my friend" bluntly...

I took a deep breath and hugged her tightly: "Xiao Ai——"

"Huh?" The little girl in my arms, exuding a cool fragrance, reacted quickly, then immediately turned red and started struggling, "What are you doing? Let go -"

I got emotional: "I like you too!"

The little girl gave me a hard hand, then stared at me in shock: "Ruri Amuro, are you some kind of radio idiot!?"

Teacher Judy smiled in surprise and said, "So you are such good friends..."

As she said this, she knelt down and looked gently at me, who was holding Xiao Ai in my arms: "I can't eat people, so don't be so vigilant, Amuro-san, by the way, I can call you Xiao Ruri." ?"

I stared at her beautiful blue eyes, exhausted my strength, let go of Xiao Ai, and nodded cautiously: "Okay..."

Xiao Ai rolled her eyes at me, conveyed her idea of ​​"hehe, just hold on to yourself, I won't care about you" with her eyes, and ran towards the group of children in the detective team.

Ah...my little shield got away.

However, with the interruption of playing with Xiao Ai, I also took the opportunity to vent some of my uneasy emotions, and successfully suppressed the fear that I couldn't help but feel when I faced Teacher Judy.

I maintained my composure on the surface, sat down on the empty chair leaning against the wall, then looked at Teacher Judy who stood up straight and stared at me, scratched my head: "Well... teacher, do you have anything to do with me?" "

Teacher Judy smiled: "Well, speaking of it, Xiao Ruri, you don't seem to care about the case at all."

I was confused: "I'm neither a policeman nor a detective, so there's no need to care about the case, right?"

After all, solving crimes is not my area of ​​expertise at all.

"Yes, if you are onlookers who have nothing to do with the case, there is really no need to care, but you are now one of the suspects... If ordinary people encounter this kind of thing and are locked as a suspect, for their own sake If someone is innocent, they usually take the initiative to pay attention to the progress of the case, right?"

Teacher Judy said this and looked back at her colleague Cameron who had been paying attention to the case: "Look, even the FBI is no exception."

"Ah... that's true." I nodded my chin and smiled, "But Conan is here. His words will definitely find the truth and prove my innocence."

So I just need to sit and paddle around and wait for him to solve the case. I don't have to worry about trivial matters like being suspected of a crime.

Teacher Judy thought thoughtfully: "I see...do you trust that cool kid?"

I blinked and borrowed what Xiao Ai had just said in reply to her: "Well, he is my friend."

Teacher Judy looked at me, suddenly leaned over to my ear and lowered her voice, saying in a volume that only I could hear clearly: "So, aren't you afraid that your little detective friend will discover your dark little secrets?" ?"

"...That's okay." I looked at her calmly and said softly.

Teacher Judy frowned and looked at me in confusion.

Conan's voice broke the silence in time: "Teacher Judy, sister Ruri, what are you doing?"

We looked at him together and saw a confident and bright smile on the little detective's face: "I already know who the criminal is, because Brother Shinichi told me that there is a spell that can find the prisoner. Police The uncles are ready, waiting for you to come, Sister Ruri."

"——Speaking of which, when Officer Megure said that curse just now, Sister Ruri also sat down. You are obviously a Japanese who is not used to English, sister, right? Why?"

After Officer Megure used the "Hitampli" spell to find the prisoner who couldn't understand English among the foreign-looking suspects, and then Conan and Teacher Judy teamed up to complete the reasoning show, the case came to a perfect conclusion. Ayumi asked me curiously, raising her head. ?

"Ah, that's because Teacher Judy will say this to me every time in class... yes, every, once, oh." I emphasized with resentment, "Every time in class, she would wake me up. Ask questions, and after asking questions, they will say 'Ok, sit down please.'

...So I have long been familiar with this English sentence.

The chubby Yuanta whispered: "This sister repeated the word 'every time' three times."

Xiao Guangyan lowered his voice and "shushed" him.

"Ahem, so," I looked at the three little carrots in front of me seriously, and forced the topic back to the front, speaking with sincerity and sincerity, "it is very important to study hard, otherwise you will become like me, even being beaten. A small thing like the teacher asking questions in class will cause a psychological shadow for bad students... In short, you must not imitate me on this point."

...Why do these brats look at me like half-moon eyes?

Dr. Agasa couldn't laugh or cry: "Really, studying hard is also very important for you as a high school student, Ruri."

Conan also didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No, studying hard is very important for humans of any age, Doctor."

I scratched my head and was about to say that although I didn't like English very much, I was actually studying hard. I just didn't like English and other nonsense, when I heard Teacher Judy's voice from behind me.

"Oh, Xiao Ruri, am I actually your psychological shadow?"

"..." I turned around without tears, "...I'm sorry..."

Damn it! Why do people speak ill of others behind their backs, and the person concerned will definitely hear it!

"It's okay, it's okay. When I think about it now, when I was teaching you English, I did wake you up too often to ask questions." Teacher Judy smiled nonchalantly and waved her hand, looking at Conan, "Actually, I'm here to see you. , my mobile phone has had poor reception since this morning, so I want to borrow your mobile phone to make a call - that guy Cameron disappeared in the blink of an eye, the person I want to find should be contacted on your mobile phone It’s also in people.”

"That's it. Before your phone is repaired, teacher, I'll lend you my phone." Conan took out his phone and removed the SIM card, then handed the phone to Teacher Judy, "It doesn't matter what I say. , I have two mobile phones."

I took advantage of every opportunity to say goodbye: "Well, I'll go home first. Bye everyone."

Teacher Judy reacted very quickly and called me out in the next second: "Wait a minute, Ruri-chan."

She took Conan's cell phone and thanked him quickly, then walked towards me firmly: "I want to talk to you alone, is that okay?"

Her eyes were sincere and sincere, and when I thought about finding her murderous enemy, Belmode, in front of her, I couldn't refuse her at all.

I muttered helplessly: "It's not impossible if the teacher invites me to eat crepes..."

Conan's inquiring eyes moved around between me and Teacher Judy, and then he looked back as if nothing had happened.

Teacher Judy smiled slightly: "Of course."

"Xiao Ruri, you are actually afraid of me, right? And I just asked you a very outrageous question. Even so, you didn't refuse my request to talk to you..." Teacher Judy said straight to me. While buying himself a crepe, he said, "You actually have a good temper, and you can easily become soft-hearted - well, this cake is too sweet."

I vaguely recalled the last time I talked with Shuichi Akai, and he seemed to have said something similar.

With a mouthful of fragrant and sweet whipped cream drizzled with chocolate sauce, I denied it incoherently: "No. It's just because you are willing to treat me to a pancake."

Teacher Judy smiled and changed the subject: "I heard you tell the police about your life experience today... Xiao Ruri, don't you have parents?"

"Ah," I was stunned, "Yes, what I told the police was the truth."

"Actually, I don't have parents either." Teacher Judy said calmly, "Twenty years ago, when I was 20 years old, my parents were killed."

I didn't expect her to say this to me. I looked at her blankly and opened my mouth. The words I wanted to apologize for subconsciously slipped to my lips, but because I recalled the last discussion we had about apologizing, I swallowed them alive. Go down.

I pursed my lips and looked away as if to escape.

My pale apology means nothing at all.

Teacher Judy gently touched my head: "So, when I heard you say you were an orphan, I thought maybe we could resonate with each other... Growing up without parents to protect you is very hard, right? ?”

"...No. I didn't work hard." I said dryly.

I probably know what Teacher Judy wants to know from me. Is she curious about my life experience...

But as long as it’s not related to Tohru Amuro’s secret, I can tell her everything she wants to know about me.

"As for me..." I recalled, "I have no memory of childhood. I lost my memory when I was 10 years old. At that time, I completely forgot about my past and never thought about it again... I have memory. Since then, I have been living with the person who adopted me, and I am very lucky, because he treats me very well, and I have never felt hard, and I have always been happy."

Teacher Judy stood still, holding a half-eaten crepe in her hand, with a solemn expression: "But the person who adopted you is not a good person in the traditional sense."

I also stopped and looked at her quietly: "Teacher, if 20 years ago, after your parents passed away, the person who extended an olive branch to you was not the FBI, but a member of the organization. That person was very good to you. , I have never done anything sorry to you, I have given you 100% sincerity and love, and then one day, someone else tells you that the person who is very kind to you is a heinous villain and we need to arrest him What would you do to punish him?"

Teacher Judy’s face was buried in the shadow of the backlight, as if she was thinking, but she didn’t answer me.

I smiled softly: "I thought you would answer me right away, and you would definitely choose the right side...Teacher, you are really gentle."

Am I righteous?

In fact, I think about this a lot myself.

Tohru Amuro's true identity is Rei Fukaya, who is affiliated with the public security and on the side of justice, so of course I am also on the red side.

But if he is actually Black's bourbon, and the prerequisites for being good to me remain unchanged, then will I choose justice and become his enemy?

Actually, I can't answer this question myself.

Putting aside the meaningless hypothetical line, on the day of the full moon, I saved Belmod, who belonged to Black. Part of it was a play I performed for myself and Bourbon’s vest, and part of it was my innermost thoughts. Save her from the FBI?

I know this very well.

I know that Belmode is very kind to Conan, always helping him to protect him, and doting on him as his own son.I also know that Conan has always been determined to arrest Belmod. He will not waver in his position just because the bad guys have different attitudes towards him. None of them will - that is justice, which makes me feel like they are shining. of justice.

And I can't be as firm as them... I don't have their faith. No matter what kind of person they are, as long as the other person treats me well, I can't help but want to respond.

So I am not righteous... I am actually such a passive, weak, selfish, cunning and despicable person.

"I'm sorry, please forget this meaningless question. I don't want to shake or test the justice in your heart, teacher. I like the way you insist on justice and defend justice. That's because you yearn for something you don't have, which is human beings. Such evil nature." I broke the silence between us softly.

"Well, in short, what I want to say is that his position is my position, and my position will not change. So please give up trying to win over me, and don't get close to me anymore..."

Fortunately, the first person I met, the person I decided to follow, the person who raised me and influenced me, was Toru Amuro.

In my heart, justice may not be too important, but it is very important.
