Chapter 31 Invisible Concern
On January 12, late at night, in a small park near Gochome.
Listening to Lan's sad words, feeling the tears that just lost warmth, Conan finally couldn't hold it back.
However, "Lan!" Just when Conan couldn't help but want to shout, "Cough!" Someone behind him beckoned.
"Who?" Hearing the voice that was almost close behind them, the two were startled. Lan even made a move, and hit it with an elbow, but just after passing his body line, he felt numb, and then he couldn't exert his strength. , and then was pinched in the hands. So Lan instinctively thought of kicking her feet back to let the person change position so as to prepare for the next attack, but at this time the person behind pressed her shoulder first. "Not good!" Lan yelled in her heart, immediately let go of Conan, and sent him a few steps aside, so that he could keep a distance from here. But just when she wanted to attack again, she suddenly found that the left hand on her shoulder was not exerting any force, and the appearance of this hand was very familiar, and the fragrance on it was also very familiar, and then she felt that the voice just now was more Familiar, so he stopped immediately, then looked sideways, "Aunt Miko!"
It turned out to be Miyamoto Miko who appeared, she let go of her hand, and said with a smile: "Oh, I didn't expect Lan to greet me like this, it really makes me sad."
"Aunt Miko!" Lan rubbed his numb arm, looked at Conan again, confirmed that he was fine, and then asked in surprise, "Aunt Miko, why are you here so late?"
Miko Miyamoto looked at Lan, then at Conan, and joked to Lan: "Why are you allowed to bring someone here to complain, and I am not allowed to pass by here?"
"Auntie Miko!" Lan immediately raised her voice, and shouted resolutely while wiping her eyes and cheeks, "What is a complaint? Conan is only six years old." Conan twitched the corners of his mouth and did not speak.
"Why, you want me to go," Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "If I hadn't heard someone say so miserable, saw someone cry so sad, I wouldn't have wanted to come here, and I wanted to go back early for a soak. "
"He's crying." Lan Qiang, who had already wiped away her tears, argued.
"Oh, since that's the case, then I'm leaving." Miko Miyamoto turned around and left, but when Lan was about to say goodbye to her, she heard Miko Miyamoto's voice, "I wanted to tell you As for her truth, since she doesn’t want to hear it, forget it.” Now Lan was dumbfounded, Conan had a toothache when he heard it, so Lan had no choice but to chase after her, "Wait a minute, Aunt Miko," and then stopped Miko Miyamoto, "Aunt Miko, what did you say just now?"
"Me?" Miyamoto Miko thought for a while, and then said seriously, "I didn't say anything."
"Didn't you say you wanted to tell me the truth?" Lan asked eagerly.
"Is there?" Miko Miyamoto thought for a while before saying, "Oh, that, I remember what I said was that I want to go back for a dip, but unfortunately no one can help."
"I..." Lan was so angry that she couldn't speak, and Conan's tooth hurt even more, because she wanted Lan to rub her back.
"Forget it," Miyamoto Miko said with a smile at this time, "For the sake of crying so sadly just now, I won't tease you today," looking around, pointing to a picture in the park. Bench, said, "Come on, let's sit there."
Miko Miyamoto held Lan's hand, and brought Conan to the front of the bench. Conan immediately sat on the edge, and then stood up embarrassedly under Miko Miyamoto's gaze, but he felt a little strange, he It has stopped for a while, they should have sat down.
"Remember in the future, women come first," Miko Miyamoto took out a handkerchief while speaking, spread it out, put it on the chair, then sat down, and said, "Otherwise, you won't be able to please girls Conan was extremely embarrassed by what he said, but he finally knew the reason. It turned out that he was holding a handkerchief. Conan felt that he was wronged. After all, Lan always didn't pay attention to this, and just sat down.
Lan followed suit, took out a handkerchief and sat down, then hurriedly asked again: "Auntie Miko, can I talk now?"
"Okay, okay," Miko Miyamoto put her arms around Rand's shoulders, let her rest her head on her shoulders, and said softly, "Come on, tell auntie why you blamed your father."
So Lan Yuanyuan told Miko Miyamoto what happened to those children tonight, "Dad, he never cared about me, he never asked me how I was doing at school, if anything happened, when I came back at night, No matter how late it was, he didn't ask me where I went or what happened to me, he..."
The more Lan Yue said, the more sad she became, and just when she was about to cry again, she suddenly felt Aunt Meizi's shoulders shaking. Lan thought that Aunt Meizi was sympathizing with her and was crying with her, and was about to speak to comfort Aunt Meizi. Knowing that Aunt Meizi laughed out loud, Lan was furious for a moment, sat up straight and asked, "What's so funny about that?"
"Ha... ok, ok, I don't laugh," Miko Miyamoto said with a straight face, but she still didn't stop, "Pfft, ha... that's really funny," and then Kanlan stood up angrily, Miyamoto Ben Meizi hurriedly said, "I'm laughing at your father's injustice." This sentence attracted Lan's attention who wanted to leave again. Lan asked, "Injustice, what do you mean?" Miko Miyamoto's arm said, "Aunt Miko, hurry up."
"Ha..." Miko Miyamoto laughed a few more times, and then said, "Do you remember, when you were just learning karate, one day you went to participate in club activities and came home very late?"
"Remember, the coach took us to watch the game in the afternoon, and when he came back at night, he saw that we were in a good mood, so he made up for the training during the day. I asked for more training at the time. At first, the coach was afraid that I couldn't stand it. Jean, after a test, he agreed, but he still stayed with me." Speaking of this, Lan said a little strangely, "I told my father that day, and I said that I would go back late, so my father didn't ask, and it was very late. It's normal, I didn't blame Dad on this matter."
"Then do you remember how your father talked to you when you came home?" Miko Miyamoto asked with a suppressed laugh.
"Let me think about it," Lan said while thinking, "It was very late at the time, and I was very tired. When I came back, he was watching TV in the office, and I said 'I'm back' to my dad, Dad Said 'Oh, the bath water is ready, you go wash and sleep, I have half an episode left' and I went up." And asked, "What's the problem?"
"And then?" Miyamoto Miko continued to ask with a smile, "What about the second day, the third day?"
"I didn't see anyone else in the morning of the second day, and he came back late at night, and he seemed to have gone drinking with someone," Lan continued, "Nothing happened on the third day, and it was too long, I don't remember. " Then she said in a delicate voice: "Aunt Meizi, please speak quickly."
"Since you remember so much, there should be some special reason?" Miko Miyamoto asked back.
"Well," Lan nodded and said, "That was the first time I went to a karate competition, and on the second day, Dad didn't know what he ate that night, and he was allergic, and when he woke up on the third morning, his right eye was purple. , It was a rare food allergy for him, and when I asked him what he ate, he said he couldn’t remember, so I still remember some of these clearly.” Then he asked in surprise: “What’s the matter?”
"He is indeed allergic," Miyamoto Miko said with a big smile, "but it's not a food allergy, but an allergy to my daughter's anxiety." Kanlan couldn't understand what she said, so Miyamoto Miko explained: "That night, Maori drank at my place and started to fidget after drinking for a while. I was worried when I saw my daughter came back. I found out at that time that he was sitting in a place where I could see the outside. Then, after a while, he left. I think he must have gone to find you. Then I cleaned up When I was at the table, I found that he had only opened a few bottles of wine, which was something I had never done before, so I remember it so clearly."
"I didn't see him." Lan asked puzzled. Conan had already started to chuckle. He recalled what happened at that time, and thought of a situation, which was really funny.
"About an hour later, he came back again, but he didn't drink again, but hurried home. I don't know what happened, but I just noticed that his right eye was swollen." Miko Miyamoto continued. .
"Huh?" Lan Da was taken aback.
"The next day, I heard a rumor that last night, there was a voyeuristic voyeur who haunted Didan Elementary School. However, this person was unlucky and found the girls' karate club, so he was arrested. The coach of the karate club who went back gave me a hard lesson." Miko Miyamoto said while laughing.
"Ah?" Landa yelled, in disbelief, "How could this be?" She remembered that the coach did yell "Who?" Was there such a rumor, or Yuanzi said it, but how could it be Dad?
"Ha..." Miko Miyamoto laughed loudly, "I guessed it at that time. It must be that Moori was discovered by your coach when he was watching you. Then Maori was embarrassed to be known by you, so he was going to wait for the coach to come over. , explained clearly in a low voice. Who knew that the coach ran over, punched without saying a word, and didn't give Mao Li a chance to speak. At that time, Mao Li should have blocked the coach's punch first, and then was about to speak, so as to explain Clearly, when I relaxed for a while, the coach stole a punch and hit the right eye, and then the two of them may have used a few more moves, or Maori just ran away."
"Pfft," Lan laughed too, thinking about the scene of that night, and then said, "I should have just ran away. At that time, the coach came back soon, and he didn't look like he had fought."
"In this way, you will know." Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "Watching TV in the office should prevent you from seeing his right eye. The next day, I should find a place to reduce the swelling, and hide by the way." For you, on the third day, after the swelling is no longer visible, I will tell you that it is an allergy, and I will hide it from you."
"Hmm!" Lan nodded, and then said, "Why is he doing this?"
"Why else?" Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "Shy, sorry, and at the same time, I want to save face."
"Well, it seems to be like this." Lanto said while thinking about his chin, and then asked, "Then why didn't Dad ask me why I came home late, where I went and what I did at school? What have you been?"
"Lan, do you remember how many times you came home late?" Miyamoto Miko asked back.
"Many times, I participated in club activities, went out shopping, went out to watch movies, and went out to play." Lan replied.
Miko Miyamoto said. "Let's not talk about participating in club activities. You only came home late because of club activities. At other times, there is nothing to worry about. As for going out at night..."
Lan interjected, "Why, I was only in my teens then? Isn't he worried about me going alone at night?"
Miko Miyamoto laughed and said, "Did you forget that, thanks to our silly daughter, in those few years, from our home to the school, the law and order in that large area was the best in the city. What about newspapers. At that time, especially girls who were about her age and wore the same school uniform, those people had no time to hide, how could they be in danger."
Conan nodded. He felt that Miko Miyamoto was too modest. Even though Mei Daiko was no longer coming out, the law and order is not bad now. Now Mei Daizi's scope of influence is not only limited to the school, it has expanded to almost the entire Mihua Town in the past few years, now apart from some adults, there are also some fugitives, other delinquent teenagers, hooligans, Most of them have already been 'convicted', or are on the way to be 'convicted'.
"Ah!" Lan obviously forgot, because he was by his side, so he didn't take it to heart. At this time, he was a little embarrassed, and he must have blamed his father.
"Think about it, he didn't need to worry at all at that time. As for going out shopping, watching movies, and playing at night," Miko Miyamoto continued to explain after thinking for a while, "In the beginning, the doctor, me, your mother, right Xinyi's mother will go with you. Well, Yuanzi's mother seldom comes out. With us here, your father has nothing to worry about. As for later, when you get older, you can do it yourself When you go, this is a growth process that everyone has to go through, and you can’t let you go because of worry, so as long as you tell the time and place to go, as long as it’s not too much, then even if your father is worried, he will let you go Yes. And no matter whether you are participating in club activities or going out, you never come back very late. When you exceed the scheduled time by a lot, this does not give your father a chance to worry about your unexpected situation, so even if he is worried, he will not discovered."
"That's true." Lan replied after thinking carefully.
"Oh, that's right," Miyamoto Miko looked at Lan again and smiled, "There was another time, that time you went to the movies alone with Shinichi at night, and your father went out to find you when you were only ten minutes late. After you came back, he came back again." Conan had a toothache again when he heard it.
"Auntie Miko!" Lan yelled shyly, and immediately changed the subject, "Then why didn't he ask me what I did in school?"
"You don't need to ask those at all," Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "With the big horn of Yuanzi and the small microphone of Mei Daizi, your father can't find out anything." Then she sighed, "Speaking of which, Mei Daizi will Your father has done a lot to become a small microphone."
"Then, why didn't he ask that time?" Lan asked in disbelief.
Miyamoto Miko laughed and said: "God knows that kind of thing will happen to you if you play hide-and-seek at school, and you are all back. Of course, your father just knows the general content and doesn't bother to ask. You can keep this kind of thing in your heart." , who knows."
"Oh, so that's the case." Lan understood that it wasn't that her father didn't care about her, but that she misunderstood the way he cared.
Thinking of what Lan said just now, Miko Miyamoto held Lan in her arms again, and while stroking Lan's hair, said: "Lan is a very good boy, and he will buy vegetables for his father at that time. , I had dinner at my place in the evening, and I had to go back to clean up the messy home and office messed up by your stupid father. How could I have so much time to go out and play. Later, I even took care of the house, inside and out You are well-organized, and you are not inferior to others at all. Your mother said that you are better than her. How can your father not care about such a good daughter. "
"Mom..." Lan murmured.
"Go to her if you think about it," Miko Miyamoto continued, "She doesn't live far away, so you can just go. If it doesn't work, just say I sent you there, and she will receive you no matter how busy she is. "
"Yeah!" Lan replied softly.
Miko Miyamoto was like this, quietly hugging Lan, and after a while, "Ahhhh", Conan couldn't help but sneezed. Miko Miyamoto patted Lan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, okay. Let's go, we'll catch a cold if we stay any longer."
"Okay!" Lan said shyly.
On the way back, Miko Miyamoto asked again: "Are you thinking about Shinichi just now?" Now Conan and Ran suddenly lifted their spirits.
"Ah, Aunt Miko, do you know where Shinichi is?" Ran asked hastily.
"He seems to have gone abroad," Miko Miyamoto said after thinking for a while, "Yamazaki's investigation report was sent in the evening, and he was invited away, so we lost contact for a while, but there should be news soon. Don't worry." Conan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Can I go and see that report?" Lan asked carefully.
Miyamoto Miko said with a smile: "Of course." Kanlan laughed and said, "But I need help." Conan thought you still remember this.
