Conan: The Second Personality of Kaitou Kidd

Chapter 19 Reasoning Short Stories
There was plenty of time this morning, Aoko Nakamori went to the shrine to deliver the cuckoo bell before going to school with Bai Shui.

On the way, Bai Shui saw the crow four times.

Every time, the crow stood quietly in the distance, looking at them silently, the red eye was dark, so thick that it seemed to bleed, and whenever Aoko Nakamori turned his head inadvertently, or did something When the movement of turning its head is made, the crow will quickly spread its wings and fly away.

Bai Shui remembered this silently, and did not tell Aoko Nakamori, nor did he tell her that the cuckoo clock was not dangerous to people.

If it weren't for the 'Ghost Story Clock' that attracted most of her attention, she might have focused on 'Hey, Kaito seems to be different recently, it seems like a different person' ,forget it.

After repeatedly checking and confirming that the clock was really handed over to the shrine, Aoko Nakamori relaxed a little. She glanced at Bai Shui and made a threatening voice, "Don't do this again next time. In horror movies, the guy who is alone and close to the source of danger is The first to die!"

"Okay," Bai Shui admitted his mistake in a sincere tone, "I was wrong, Qingzi."

He walks into the classroom.

Before the class time, the students in the classroom were in a state of disunity, gathered into several small piles relying on their relationship with each other, just like when Bai Shui first entered this classroom.

He passed the first 'little pile'.

The students who were chatting stopped talking, looked over almost at the same time, and greeted naturally, "Good morning, Kuai Dou-kun."

"Morning, Kuai Dou-kun."

"Good morning, are you feeling better today, Heiyu-kun?"

……what?

Bai Shui stopped, looked sideways at the students who were greeting enthusiastically, and a question mark slowly appeared above his head.

Before, didn't they ignore him tacitly, even if they talked to him, they still looked anxious about touching a hot potato?Why is it so warm and friendly now, which is completely different from before?
Another small group that was closer heard the sound and looked up, and they also greeted relaxedly and naturally, "Morning, Kuai Dou-jun."

"Morning," classmate Twist Braid looked at Bai Shui's face, "Aren't you feeling well, Mr. Heiyu?"

"Good morning, Kuai Dou-jun!" The glasses student greeted cheerfully, and then whispered into the ear of the braided student, "Qing Zi must have just finished beating Kuai Dou-jun."

"He has been taught a lesson, of course his face is not good!"

Bai Shui who heard it clearly: "..."

The original owner, what kind of magical image is it?
The braided classmate who found him heard clearly: "..."

She immediately covered the mouth of the classmate with glasses, and without a breath, suddenly highlighted the words to change the subject, "By the way, Kuroba-kun, do you want to read the newspaper? Today's newspaper has big news!"

Her voice seemed to fill the air: "I know that Heiyu-kun is absolutely not interested, just talking nonsense, please find this stupid pig next to him who can't speak at all, please classmate Heiyu refuse me!" '.

Bai Shui paused for a few seconds, ignoring the 'reject me' expression on the face of the braided student, he nodded, "Is that okay?"

The braided student was stuck. She looked down at the newspaper on the table, made a difficult decision, and decisively tore off the headline of the newspaper.

"Of course." She handed the rest to Bai Shui while keeping her voice to a minimum, "Why does it feel so familiar."

Of course I am familiar with it. Yesterday’s newspaper was brutally dismembered in this way, and this is the second time.

"Thank you," Bai Shui took the newspaper, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

He continued to walk forward, and when he was sitting in his seat, he received "Good morning, Kuai Dou-kun~" from a group of people at the back of the classroom, and heard a few scattered words of "Magic, so he fought with Qingzi Well, it's normal! ' and the like.

... The original owner is indeed a magical creature, not only Doraemon, but also has a strange style. Once the magic tricks and fights are not changed, the students will judge that the situation is not right, and they will stay away tacitly.

It really is a husky.

It's still the kind of owner who returns home and finds that it is very well-behaved and quiet. He will immediately make a surprise inspection of the house and find that the house is in its original shape without any trace of damage.Quickly tell me what you broke, bro! 'A purebred husky.

Bai Shui sighed calmly.

He opened the newspaper and began to collect today's incomplete information.

The headline part was torn away, leaving only a little corner ending and other pages. The ending is that the police expressed their expectation for tonight's 23:54 and so on.

There is no head, only a tail, and no effective information can be seen.

Bai Shui quickly and roughly scanned the newspaper, and found that there were still cases, so he tapped the table thoughtfully, and repeated his previous judgment: In this world, the concentration of cases exceeds the standard.

It exceeds the standard to the point that different homicides are published in newspapers every day. This concentration of murders is obviously abnormal, and it is even more abnormal to eat it with a library with a concentration of reasoning books that exceeds the standard.

The newspaper also published a short reasoning work every day, or the next one.

After Bai Shui finished reading, he took a look at the author of the mystery novel and which collection or magazine it was selected from. He wrote down the information and took out the notebook he bought from a convenience store.

In the notebook is a short reasoning novel conceived by him, the content is actually very simple: [I wrote to a detective I met to ask for help in a murder case].

Too complicated content is not suitable for short stories, and because it is a letter, it is No.1.

At the beginning of the letter, 'I' will first put forward the argument of [the family is very strange], and then list the arguments in turn, such as the chair is too short, the clothes are not in good taste, it takes a long time to rummage through the box to find coffee and water cups, etc., simply arousing readers interest of.

then……

Bai Shui opened the notebook, picked up the pen, and continued to leave lines of black writing on the unfinished draft:
[How to deal with a large animal with a length of 1.6 meters and a weight of [-] kilograms? 】

When writing this line, he let out a breath, closed his eyes, slowly recalled the cases he had witnessed, and continued to write 'I' for help:

[Originally planned to deal with it during the New Year, but it is too disturbing to the people, and neighbors complain every day, so it can only be dealt with before the Chinese New Year.I'm not very skilled at handling large animals, it struggled for a long time, luckily it was handled in the bathroom, and the signs of excessive struggle could be cleaned up. 】

[There was too much movement. I was worried that the neighbors would knock on the door to complain, but after waiting for a long time, I didn’t hear any movement. The warning posted on the door the next day was no longer a warning of 'Don't disturb the people', but 'Before Sorry for overreacting'. 】

【Many people say that the neighborhood relationship in Tokyo is quite weak. I thought so too, but now it has changed a bit.I was angry when they complained, and I felt a little guilty when they took a step back and stopped complaining. 】

[Let’s come to apologize another day, it’s this Saturday. 】

【Your habit is to read letters from readers while drinking coffee after nine o’clock in the evening. When you saw this letter, it was probably on Friday, right? 】

There is only one day between Friday and Saturday.

When writing this line, the blank on this page has just been filled in, and this line is connected to the end that Bai Shui wrote in advance.

【--Mr. is an excellent detective, and he must be able to easily solve your questions. I look forward to your reply. 】

This is a short reasoning story in which the murderer breaks into the house, lives in the victim's house grandly, and arrogantly challenges the detective to a confrontation.
