Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 214 May
Late at night.

The pedestrians on the street have also become sparse, and they are probably going home to rest.

Qian also called a taxi and rushed back to the manor.

But he failed to find that there was a person who had been following her, observing her every move, and his eyes almost never left her.

She can't find it.

Those who can discover that man's stalking are all capable people.

However, even that man might not have imagined that his every move was also being watched.

Of course, it's not people who watch him, but crows.

The ubiquitous, pitch-black crow began to monitor him when he decided to follow Akane, and every move was recorded.

Crows flitted across the night sky.

Qian got out of the taxi and entered the manor, but found nothing unusual.

The man driving the car looked at the manor from a distance.

The crow circled around and landed silently on a branch of a tree, looking at the car and the man.

A red dot flickered on and off, and it seemed to be smoking.

Akai Shuichi.

My mood right now is a little unstable.

look like.

This is understandable.

But some small movements are almost exactly the same, which makes him a little suspicious.

And this manor...

"Coffee shop owner, Qingming."

He knows.

Regarding Qingming, Belmode has investigated it, and the FBI has also investigated it, so he naturally knows some information.

Although there is very little information about Qingming.

However, Qingming can't hide this manor, and he doesn't intend to hide it, so anyone who wants to investigate can know.

But knowing that doesn't help either.

In fact, not only Belmode, but the FBI also wanted to send people to sneak into the manor to do something. Belmode's people took the first step, but after entering, there was no movement, and the world disappeared.

Therefore, the FBI did nothing.

Although Qingming didn't want to meddle in these nosy matters, it was unavoidable since the day he got involved with Hui Yuanai.

Belmode and the FBI are all observing here.

Not to mention that.

He looks so much like Miyano Akemi, and even some habitual little movements are almost exactly the same, which makes Akai Shuichi have to doubt.

There is precedent for getting smaller, too.

Now that one and two have appeared, who dares to say that there will not be a third and fourth?
More importantly, this little girl who is very similar to Miyano Akemi still lives with Haibara Ai, and there is almost no information before. If I didn't meet today, I don't know that she is so similar to Miyano Akemi.

So……

"Could it be the same person?"

Akai Shuichi thought about it.

But for such a question, there is no way to get an answer just by thinking about it, it is just doing useless work.

He understands this very well.

But besides pondering here, he didn't know any other way to investigate the truth. "Miyano Akemi" was dead, and the Metropolitan Police Department had records, and there was no flaw in the corpse or the like.

How can this be done?
You can't just rush in, grab that little girl and ask directly, "Are you Akemi Miyano?", right?

Then we have to go in.

Maybe as soon as he entered the door, just like Belmode's hapless subordinates, he disappeared from the world.

The manor is not something you can enter if you want to.

and……

"It's very unlikely."

After all, the little girl didn't seem to remember him anymore.

He could see that it wasn't a fake.

If it's really Miyano Akemi, it's impossible to forget him, even if it's a fake, he can still find the flaws.

But not.

"Did you lose your memory?"

This is also possible.

But whatever it is, there is no way to confirm these conjectures.

……

in the manor.

After a long absence, she took a walk outside, Qian was in a good mood.

Put hot water and bring it for a change of clothes.

After taking a bath, I soaked in the bathtub. The warm water soaked every inch of my body, as if my whole body could relax.

A hot bath is said to help relieve fatigue.

But that's not the point.

The manor is very quiet, there are no unnecessary sounds.

This quiet atmosphere made Qian not think too much, she just lay in the bathtub and looked at the ceiling.

Let your mind go.

Just suddenly, I remembered the man I saw on the street before.

"Um……"

Frowning.

I always feel that the man is a bit familiar, but there is really no memory related to him at all in my mind.

"Is it an illusion?"

She's a little unsure.

Moreover, if it is an illusion, why not have an illusion about others, but just have an illusion about that man?
But if it is not an illusion, what could it be?

not understand.

I frowned and thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

In the end, he simply shook his head.

"Forget it, I don't want to."

Anyway, I can't remember it, and since I don't remember it, it means that the other party is not an important person, so it's okay if I can't remember it.

……

The investigation of the case went well.

Although Qingming is here, and it seems to have some relationship with Tiantang Haruka, this made Conan very worried.

But Qingming didn't do anything.

So Conan's investigation went smoothly without any accidents, and the murderer was quickly found by him.

Paradise sunny.

Because it was known that it was not the secret of the eldest lady, and the other party took advantage of her unwillingness to reveal her psychology, used her as a cash machine, and pretended to be a very close friend on the surface.

"That's why you say we're not friends!"

Qingming shook her head.

But having said that, he had no intention of helping Tiantang Qinghua get rid of the crime, nor did he hide this matter.

There is no need to do this.

After all, Tiantang Qinghua has nothing to do with him, and this is the second meeting.

She is not Asai Narumi from Tsukage Island or Shimabukuro Junhui from Mermaid Island. She failed to make Qingming want to help, so she can only be caught without a fight.

However it doesn't matter.

The case was solved, and it was already very late. When the group returned to the campsite, it was time to wash up and sleep.

There is also a place to take a bath, and Qingming is also well prepared.

Hui Yuanai went first.

Qingming and Ayumi sat on the ground, eating the fruit they brought.

"Speaking of..."

Ayumi seems to have finally discovered something.

"Where's the rabbit?"

"Let go."

"Really?"

"Would I lie to you?"

"will not."

Ayumi shook her head.

She believes that Qingming will not lie to her, and she has always believed in it.

It's just a pity that she originally wanted to take the rabbit back to raise it. After all, it was hard to catch a wild rabbit, and it looked very cute.

But let it go, there is no need to worry about it.

only……

"Why did you let it go?"

"Give it back its freedom, won't it?"

"free?"

"Well, freedom."

Qingming nodded.

Freedom is the pursuit of many people, and it is also the pursuit of many creatures. Unfortunately, there will never be absolute freedom in the world.

But it's nice to have some freedom.

The little girl doesn't quite understand these things. Anyway, she doesn't have any worries, and she doesn't feel that she is not free. At home, she is loved by her parents, and at school, Hui Yuan, teachers and classmates also take good care of her.

Not to mention Qingming.

It's really good to live a carefree life.

"free?"

Hui Yuanai, who had just come out of the shower, also heard their conversation.

A little puzzled.

I looked at Qingming, then at Ayumi, and I didn't know what they were talking about.

No tangles.

"Ayumi, it's your turn."

"Hi!"

Ayumi responded.

He took a change of clothes and walked towards the temporary bathroom, where both Nami Shimokasaho and Naho Shimokasa were there.

Hui Yuanai wiped his hair with a dry towel, walked to the fire and sat down.

The fire is still burning.

Qingming found a lot of dry firewood and added it, and it felt a little hot when sitting next to it.

Eyes aimed at Qingming.

Qingming, who was still chatting and laughing with Ayumi, now has no expression, doesn't say anything, and doesn't even look at her.

He sighed secretly.

This guy still doesn't want to see her!
