”I don’t know about a water source, but there’s an alley where a bunch of strays gather.” He wasn’t about to admit that he had sneaked into the alley more than once just to pet the homeless hounds — he couldn’t help it, he was just as much of a sucker for dogs as Hakuba was.
Skipping back a few steps, he tugged at the taller detective’s sleeve.
”Come on. It’s this way. If it’s not there, we can look at the park.”
Oh, god, Edogawa-kun was cute.
Hakuba’s smile only broadened as he nodded, allowing the boy to lead him wherever he wanted to take him. “That sounds like the perfect place to begin looking, yes… brilliant idea, Conan-kun! It’s no wonder that you’re so well-spoken of. I imagine we’ll have this mystery solved in no time at all.”
To say that this was one of the foreign detective’s dreams would be an understatement; he could think of nothing better than to spend the afternoon with such a bright and helpful young detective.
