Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 198 Illusion?

Qingming.

A coffee shop owner, nothing more.

Anyway, that's what Qingming said, but Miwako Sato frowned, feeling that things were not that simple.

Just take a serious look.

A seemingly ordinary teenager who was flipping through a book seemed to have nothing special about him, everything was normal.

illusion?

Miwako Sato frowned, staring at Qingming.

for a long time.

Miyamoto Yumi came out of the kitchen, holding a bag in her hand, which contained several cakes, biscuits, and coffee.

Go to the counter.

Put the bag on the counter and get ready to take out the wallet to pay.

Qingming didn't raise her head, she just waved her hands.

"Take it, no need to pay."

"Eh? Is it okay?"

"can."

He waved his hand again.

Anyway, it’s left over, and Azusa Enomoto will make new ones when she comes tomorrow, so there’s no need to worry about it.

And, what is money?

Qingming is not Mr. Xiaolin, so he doesn't care about such things.

"Thank you then."

Miyamoto Yumi was not polite either.

After thanking him, he left the coffee shop with Miwako Sato.

Once outside, get in the mini patrol car.

"Hey, Yumi."

As soon as she sat down in the passenger seat, Miwako Sato yelled directly.

Miyamoto Yumi looked at her suspiciously.

"what?"

"Did that boy really tell you about the kidnappers last time?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"How should I put it... It doesn't look like such a shrewd person. It's just a very ordinary boy. It's hard to believe."

"Um……"

Miyamoto Yumi held the steering wheel with both hands, frowned and thought for a while.

Qingming, it seems quite ordinary.

But in fact, he is not an ordinary person, he came from China, and he also opened a coffee shop here and owned a manor.

More importantly, when they met for the first time, they kissed her forcefully when they disagreed.

"Maybe it's just a casual remark, and it happened to be right."

Shake his head.

He started the car directly and smiled.

"Whatever he is, he's not a bad guy, so there's no need to pay too much attention to it. I'll send you to the scene first."

"Ah."

Sato Miwako nodded.

Although I still care a little bit in my heart, Yumi Miyamoto is right. Qingming is also a law-abiding person, so there is really no need to pay too much attention.

"Let's go."

"Hi!"

……

Time passed slowly.

Qingming was obsessed with studying new Taoism, and didn't care too much about other things.

Because none of that matters.

For Qingming, the important thing is whether it can make him happy and whether he can pass the boring time.

Honestly, there are many such things.

But the actual problem is that Qingming is indifferent to everything. He ignores many things that are obviously interesting, and then says that this world is a boring world.

Such people……

It's really self-inflicted.

But let's not talk about these for now.

If I really want to say, Qingming's sense of presence is relatively low, and it is difficult for people to notice, after all, he is always learning Akalin.

But because of Haibara Ai, some people still noticed it.

For example, Vermouth, that is, Belmode; also such as Akai Shuichi, Judy and so on.

Some things, even if you don't want to take care of them, you can't stay out of them.

If Belmode wants to do something about Hui Yuan Ai, Qingming is the "wall" that she can't get around and protect Hui Yuan Ai, so she has to do something about Qing Ming.

For example...

Let Qingming disappear directly?
This is not a good way. Although it is the most direct and effective way, it will also cause trouble.

More importantly, it is the issue of clear identity.

unknown origins.

Just like Conan and Xiaolan, although they know that Qingming is an overseas student from China, they have no way of knowing anything else.

Because it is unknown, it makes people feel a little bit afraid.

The main reason is that I can open a coffee shop here, own a manor, and not go to school without any form of punishment.

This will always make people mistakenly think that Qingming's identity background is not simple.

In fact, Qingming's identity is very simple. He is just an ordinary Chinese, one of more than one billion people. Not many people even know that there is such a person in China.

And if you add the status of "Taoist priest", Qingming is not easy at all.

Although there is no record of his identity in Taoism, he is an unrecognized and unidentified Taoist priest, but this is irrelevant.

ability.

Qingming can use various abilities.

And this is the basis for Qingming to be able to do whatever he wants. If he doesn't have the ability, Qingming is just an ordinary high school student now.

Although it is still a time traveler.

Not to mention that.

Belmode did notice Qingming, this young man who appeared out of nowhere and couldn't find any useful information at all, although it seemed easy to deal with on the surface, he could make Qingming disappear by any means.

But it was also because it was so easy that she didn't know where to start.

And, is it really that easy to deal with?

"Qing, Ming..."

……

Belmode is not the only one struggling with Qingming's identity, but also FBI such as Shuichi Akai and Judy.

They also have surveys.

But the result was no different. In their eyes, Qingming was still full of mysteries.

Because of the mystery, so have scruples.

If they really wanted to do something, mainly related to Hui Yuan Ai, they would have to face Qing Ming. After all, Qing Ming was Hui Yuan Ai's guardian in name.

In fact, the relationship between Qingming and Huiyuan Ai does not seem to be simple, after all, they live together.

Rat bogeyman.

If they don't find a way to figure out Qingming's identity, whether Qingming is an enemy, friend or neutral, there are many things they can't do.

So they're finally getting their act together.

Actions against Qingming.

……

In fact, action is not just for Qingming.

Neither Belmode nor Akai Shuichi, nor the organization nor the FBI, have so much energy dedicated to investigating one person's affairs, and many tasks are carried out at the same time.

For example, the fact that the organization and the FBI hurt each other.

In Neon, it may be the home field of the organization, so the organization takes the initiative in this regard.

Belmode has already started to set up a trap.

About this point, Qingming, who doesn't care about anything, heard it from Conan.

After all, it is considered a partner, so Conan directly came to him for help, analyzing the situation, giving ideas and so on.

"Oh? All the files in the police station related to Uncle Mao Li's handling of the case were taken away and sent back?"

"Yes."

Conan nodded.

He heard this from Officer Takagi.

The police suspected that someone wanted to do something to Mori Kogoro, and they were already considering whether to strengthen the protection of Mori Kogoro.

But Conan felt that the other party was coming for him.

Most likely someone from the organization.

"so what?"

Qingming picked up the coffee and took a sip.

I've been busy researching new Taoism recently, so I didn't notice these things, but I can also extract records from the crow, if I want to know, it's still possible.

As long as the crow has recorded it.

But it is not important.

"What do you want me to do for you?"

"It depends on what you can do for me, and I will let you do what."

"It's okay to help you take care of Lan, so you can go with peace of mind."

"..."

Conan didn't speak.

Because I always feel that the words of Qingming seem to be not very good.

Delusion?
