In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

The car window next to Ai rolled down automatically.

She called out to the blood crow, which was clearly a size larger than the others, "Take them and leave first. We're going to see her right away!"

Caw—!

Xiao Ai's voice had just fallen.

The Blood Raven suddenly flapped its wings and soared into the sky!

Seeing this, the other crows immediately followed. Soon, the Ford Raptor, which had been covered with crows, was left with only scattered black feathers. The elderly couple who seemed to have come to help stared in disbelief at the scene, forgetting to put down their brooms and feather dusters!

"Is that Aunt Chiharu?!"

Mingmei opened the car door, ran to the elderly couple, and said with a nostalgic expression, "I never thought you were still living here!"

"you are?"

With her full head of silver hair and slightly plump figure, Granny Chiharu looked at Akemi with suspicion. Akemi was now twelve or thirteen years old, and she still looked somewhat like she did when she was seven or eight. However, after so many years, and given her special circumstances, Granny Chiharu ultimately did not recognize her!

"Wait, old woman, that!"

The old man beside Granny Chiharu looked at Ai getting out of the car in surprise, and said in disbelief:

"Isn't that Miss Elena?"

"Miss Elena?"

Grandma Chiharu shifted her gaze from Akemi and then saw Ai, which startled her. However, after observing her for a while, she gave her husband a disdainful look and said speechlessly:

"That's obviously not it! What's wrong with your eyes, old man! Although they look very similar, their temperaments are completely different!"

"Really? Hahaha!"

The old man scratched his head and gave an awkward smile.

"Aunt Chiharu~"

Ai stepped forward, mimicking her sister's address, and greeted her with a smile: "Do you remember Miyano Elena? I'm her... niece, Miyano Alice. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"niece?"

Grandma Chiharu believed it without hesitation!

There's no way around it, Ai's face is almost exactly the same as Elena's. You could believe she's your own daughter, let alone your niece!

"Of course I still remember Miss Elena. My old man and I were just looking through old photo albums. Miss Elena was such a kind person, you wouldn't believe it—"

"Wife!"

"Let the guests come inside first, then we can talk!"

The elderly gentleman, who seemed to be in good spirits, offered a reminder.

"Yes, yes, yes! Come inside, let's talk inside!" Grandma Chiharu warmly pulled Ai's hand, inviting everyone to go home.

Xia Ye looked at Koizumi Akako and saw her nod slightly. He understood that his mother-in-law should be here, and the rooftops where the crows gathered should be her location!

...

in the living room.

Grandma Chiharu and her husband, Mr. Shigehiko, served tea and snacks to Xia Ye and her party.

Very enthusiastic!

"Miss Elena and her husband have both passed away?" Upon hearing this news, a look of sorrow appeared on Granny Chiharu's wrinkled face, and she sighed deeply, "Such a good couple, they actually left us before my husband and I. It's truly a cruel twist of fate!"

"Yes! What a pity!"

Mr. Maoyan also sighed, but then asked anxiously, "I remember Miss Elena had two daughters. How are they? The couple passed away so suddenly. Little Mingmei must have been only seven or eight years old at the time, and the other child was only one or two years old. They must have suffered a lot!"

"He certainly suffered a lot."

Ai and Akemi exchanged a glance, a faint smile appearing on their pretty faces. Ai said softly, "But don't worry, they're doing very well. They just can't come to see you two right now. They'll come to visit you in person after some time!"

"That's good, that's good!"

The two elderly people finally smiled.

They took out an old photo album and showed Xia Ye and the others the photos of the Miyano couple. Judging from so many photos, the two families were indeed on very good terms back then!

"This is Xiaomingmei~"

Grandma Chiharu pointed to a photo of a cute little girl with long, straight black hair, named Akemi, and smiled kindly, saying:

"Judging by the time, Xiaomingmei should be twenty-five years old this year. Is she married? Does she have children?"

"Akami isn't married~"

"But she has a boyfriend!"

Xia Ye naturally picked up the conversation, smiling slightly: "My boyfriend is very handsome, rich, and very considerate to her. He's an exceptionally good man, so don't worry. He'll come with Mingmei next time she visits you."

yue~

Koizumi Akako couldn't help but glance at him sideways.

Ai rolled her eyes cutely.

Xia Ye is so shameless in bragging. Although what he said is true, it's still incredibly immodest for him to say it like that!

Mingmei blushed slightly, feeling sweet inside. Unlike her younger sister, she didn't feel that way at all. After all, what Xia Ye said was true!

As for Granny Chiharu, she was so happy that her eyes narrowed, and she said repeatedly, "That's good. I heard from you that the child suffered a lot. Now she has a gentle and considerate boyfriend to take care of her. It's good that her suffering has come to an end!"

"Yes! Don't worry!"

........

The guests and hosts were all very happy, and the atmosphere was harmonious and joyful.

After chatting for a long time, Mr. Shigehiko suddenly spoke up: "Miss Alice, you've come here for more than just to see the place where Miss Elena used to live, haven't you? Is there anything else we can help you with? Please let us know!"

"actually--"

Xia Ye spoke first:

"We're here today because of the flock of crows upstairs in your building. I think we can probably solve the problem of them taking up residence here!"

"crow?!"

Mr. Maoyan's expression changed, and he hesitated.

"Mr. Maoyan?"

Ai's eyes showed a hint of excitement:

"Is there anything wrong?"

“Ah, those crows are indeed a bit strange—” Mr. Maoyan and his wife exchanged a glance and sighed, “They’re gathering in a deck chair in the rooftop sunroom, and that deck chair is where Miss Elena used to lie down and read when the sun was shining, so—”

"So you suspect that the crows gathering here are related to Miss Elena?"

Xia Ye finished speaking for him.

"Yes!"

Grandma Chiharu took over the conversation:

"Legend has it that crows are messengers of death. When those crows gathered here, my old man and I thought it meant our lives were coming to an end and that death had sent messengers to take us away!"

"I didn't expect that they would just stay in the place on the rooftop where Miss Elena used to like to hang out, and they don't make any noise. I think it might really be related to Miss Elena!"

"Then, Mr. Shigehiko, could you tell me when these crows appeared?"

Koizumi Akako suddenly asked.

"when......"

"It was about ten days ago, right?"

Mr. Shigehiko recalled for a moment and said:

"I remember that night I was watching TV and there was a strange man on the news wearing a spider costume, I think his name was Spider-Man or something. Then I heard crows cawing on the roof. The next day, several crows were staying on the roof and wouldn't leave!"

Spider-Man!

That was the day Xia Ye had just transmigrated!

That day, he officially came into this world!

Everyone except the elderly couple thought of this, so is all of this still related to Xia Ye?

However, Xia Ye wasn't too surprised by the plot twists he had caused; in fact, it was a good thing. He looked at Mr. Mao Yan and then asked:

"Mr. Shigehiko, you said there were only a few crows at the beginning, right? When did the number of crows increase to so many?"

"It was last night!"

Mr. Maoyan's eyes showed some amazement as he described:

"To be precise, it's after midnight!"

"Originally, those scattered crows were just perched on the rooftop, and apart from landing on that deck chair, they weren't anything special!"

"But starting early this morning, large numbers of crows began to gather here, and their movements became increasingly coordinated, as if they had been given some kind of order!"

"I understand!"

Xia Ye smiled slightly and stood up:

"Can we go up to the roof and take a look?"

"no problem?"

Grandma Chiharu looked worried and her eyes were full of concern.

"Are you all in any danger?"

"Don't worry, we are professionals!"

Xia Ye glanced at Koizumi Akako and emphasized:

"There will be absolutely no danger!"

"That's good~"

Granny Chiharu breathed a sigh of relief, but then hesitated:

"if......"

"what?"

"No, nothing~"

Grandma Chiharu waved her hand:

"The stairs are over there, you two can go up by yourselves. We old folks won't lift a finger!"

"Good~"

Xia Ye led the three girls towards the stairs.

The rooftop of the building.

It is a very large platform.

The two elderly people (Zhao Liao's) have grown many flowers and plants on the rooftop, making it look like a garden, which is very beautiful.

"Is that the recliner the two elderly people were talking about?"

Ai looked towards the sunroom not far away, where there was an old-fashioned black wooden deck chair. Several crows stood on the deck chair, staring at them with wide eyes. The largest crow, with blood-red eyes, was among them.

Xia Ye took a step forward.

Thumping!

Several crows on the deck chair seemed to be startled and flapped their wings to fly into the sky.

Then—a white figure instantly appeared from the recliner and pounced on Xia Ye at great speed.

Koizumi Akako subconsciously cast a spell.

Xia Ye quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't do it, I didn't sense any malice!"

While talking.

The white figure also revealed its true form.
