Conan: The Second Personality of Kaitou Kidd

Chapter 8 Goodbye
"Sorry," Bai Shui gave an 'explanation' that was barely passable, "I was not very interested in the strange talk incident before."

He was walking on the road sprinkled with the orange sunset, and casually picked out a point to divert Aoko Nakamori's attention, "So, you said 'you must not tell me this at school' because of the principal?"

Because of the principal who entered the campus standing up, but went out lying down, and was witnessed by countless cute students?
Aoko Nakamori followed the topic with her attention, she nodded deeply, and said sadly: "Yes."

"The principal has been in the hospital for two weeks!"

Still, when the doctor clearly stated that he is in good health and can be discharged from the hospital, he shrank abruptly on the hospital bed and refused to leave the hospital. It is too embarrassing for him to whimper and cry as soon as anyone mentions the hospital. , might as well die.

Jiang Gutian High School suddenly organized a spring outing, and hurriedly packed all the students in batches and sent them to various tourist destinations. This was also related to the fact that the adults wanted the principal to work hard to overcome his emotions and return to campus bravely.

The ruse worked, but not quite.

It worked. When there were no students in the school staring at the principal like owls, the principal finally gritted his teeth and agreed to leave the hospital for a look.

It didn't work. Facing the campus where the wind was blowing, the headmaster remembered one thing: when he kicked his feet in a coma, he remembered that his oily wig also flew out.

But when the security guard found him, his wig was firmly on top of his head, even a little stronger than usual, and even the dangling stretcher didn't shake it at all.

headmaster:"……"

The headmaster collapsed back into the hospital bed.

"He felt very ashamed," Nakamori Aoko relayed the speculation of his classmates, "It's fine to lose the wig, and it seems to be sympathized by inhuman existence. It's too..."

It's too suffocating for middle-aged people who are in desperate need of face.

Bai Shui focused on the key points, "Does the whole school know?"

The whole school knew, 'Hey, the principal is finally willing to leave the hospital... Wait, why did he collapse and be hospitalized again? ! 'Yet?
"Of course." Aoko Nakamori replied as a matter of course.

"..." Bai Shui was speechless for a few seconds, "I probably understand."

I probably understand why the principal refused to leave the hospital so desperately.

"Because there was a strange talk incident in the bathroom, so I put the clock in, just enough to suppress it. I searched for a long time method." Aoko Nakamori quietly observed Baishui's expression, "By the way, Kaito,"

"If, if the monster talking about the toilet incident is evil... er, it's magic, do you think it's exciting enough?"

She quietly opened her eyes, held her breath, and tried her best to pretend to be a casual question, waiting for Bai Shui to answer.

Bai Shui didn't need to turn his head to look at her at all, he just listened to her guilty ending, and instantly realized Aoko Nakamori's temptation: Well, the strange talk about the women's bathroom, you can't make it up, right?

……

What is the image of the original owner?
Bai Shui repeatedly wondered about this incident, what kind of image is it that can make friends suspect the 'Girls in the Women's Bathroom Incident' on him?
"When I told you before, your reaction was so weird!" Aoko Nakamori immediately explained, "You wiped your sweat and laughed dryly, and you don't want to hear about it at all."

"And, and, everyone else said 'I succeeded' to mean that the being got revenge, but I feel like..."

As if it could also be 'The magic worked! '.

"It has nothing to do with me," Bai Shui clarified for the original owner who was most likely to be innocent and wronged, "I'm just not very interested in this kind of thing."

Aoko Nakamori nodded thoughtfully after getting a definite negative attitude, and heaved a sigh of relief.

She looked up at Bai Shui, and found that those blue eyes were staring at her firmly when she explained seriously.

The sunlight quietly sprinkled on the face of 'Kuroba Kaito', and also spread into the blue eyes, making the edges of it glisten, like the bright sea under the moonlight, full of strange and mysterious attraction.

Occasionally, when he was concentrating on something, Kaito Kuroba would show such an irresistibly serious expression, which was completely different from usual.

As a human being, Aoko Nakamori's face burned quickly.

Bai Shui: "What's wrong?"

Aoko Nakamori turned his head [-] degrees suddenly, "It's nothing!"

She hurriedly pointed forward, "Ah, the library is here, let's go in quickly!"

Um?Did you discover any doubts?
Bai Shui walked two steps calmly, recalling what he said just now.

Some shouldn’t, even if the original owner had expressed interest in ghost stories, Aoko Nakamori’s first reaction after hearing the explanation should be, ‘Tut, talk, keep talking, I’ll listen quietly’ instead of dancing in a panic.

He followed a few more steps.

In a panic, Aoko Nakamori pushed open the glass door of the library with her shoulders, and fluffily squeezed in through the gap. The glass door reflected her blushing cheeks.

Bai Shui reacted belatedly, his steps slowed down, and he quickly pushed open the glass door as if nothing had happened, "Do you have any books you want to read? I want to go to the literature area to have a look."

Because of his occupation, he is more familiar with literature, and he can discover more problems more keenly when comparing the differences in the world.

"Yes, yes, then I'll come back to you later!"

Aoko Nakamori sprinted to the most inconspicuous corner of the library without looking back, and plunged into the boundless sea of ​​bookshelves.

The same wooden sign is hung on the side of those bookshelves: [Philosophy District].

After barely making out the words on the wooden signs, Bai Shui closed the glass door rather wordlessly, and went to find the literature area silently.

The literature area is very large, occupying more than one-third of the library area, and it is very close to the reading area, which means it has a high status.

While scanning the books on the bookshelf, Bai Shui found many familiar masterpieces, such as "The Count of Monte Cristo", "There Were None", "The Cases of Sherlock Holmes", "The Short Stories of Edgar Allan Poe" and so on.

These are quite famous literary works. After observing all the way, a question gradually formed in Bai Shui's heart:
It seems, it seems, probably, maybe, the appearance rate of reasoning literature is a bit too high...?
When initially confirming this matter, Bai Shui was still a little confused at first, wondering if this was a special feature of the world, but soon realized that this was a neon sign, and immediately understood.

Neon is a country where detectives are legal!

It is normal and legal for detectives to participate in murder cases and cooperate with the police to solve cases. It is normal for mystery novels to have a high status!

He walked past a row of bookshelves with "excessive concentration of speculative literature", turned into the next row, and was stunned as soon as he took a step.

A whole row of "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" was neatly placed on the bookshelf, and they politely pulled down the brims of their hats, like elegant gentlemen who are used to being stared at.

The 'brim' is the black book cover.

Bai Shui's footsteps stopped.

...Okay, it seems a little abnormal, would a normal library make such a battle?

The owner is definitely a Sherlock Holmes fan, right?
Speculating in this way, considering that this world may be on the mysterious side, and this row of bookshelves is somewhat abnormal, Bai Shui abruptly turned his footsteps and entered the next row.

He was shocked again.

All kinds of Agatha's works are neatly placed on the bookshelves, like a princess who is sitting on the throne indifferently and only casts a glance from a height.

Not only this column, but because of too many works, the next three columns are also Agatha's home field.

Bai Shui walked past these bookshelves, looked back, and saw new mystery novels of all kinds again.

Mystery novels stay quietly in the library under the setting sun, as if some kind of strange and intoxicating light is precipitating.

This kind of light may be a yellow "task available" prompt, or it may be called "the situation is different".

Bai Shui looked at the bookshelves quietly for a few seconds, then turned his head and left without hesitation.

Novice player, did not accept the mission, the world exploration degree is zero, no actual combat experience, has not transferred to receive a weapon, the agent solves the incident seriously exceeds the standard, only good at watching from the third perspective, does not fight BOSS, goodbye!
