Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 227 Important...

ancient books.

Qingming is naturally what you want.

But he didn't think about looking for it by himself, maybe it was difficult to find it, or maybe he didn't expect it very much.

And now, Xinming Xiangbaoli personally delivered the ancient books.

"You still remember? Thank you very much."

Qingming smiled and thanked.

He took a few ancient books from Shinna Kabori and put them on the table.

It seemed that he couldn't wait any longer, picked up the top one and started to look through it, as if he didn't intend to say anything more.

The new name, Xiang Baoli, didn't care.

Azusa Enomoto came over with coffee and cake, and put them on the table.

"Please enjoy."

Smiling at the new name Xiangbaoli, he turned and left to continue working.

Say so.

In fact, there was no work to be done, and there were no customers at the moment. According to the usual practice, the customers of the coffee shop would come later.

Drinking coffee, eating cakes and biscuits, reading newspapers, enjoying a leisurely morning.

Most of the coffee shop customers are like this.

For example, Kogoro Mori upstairs, if he has nothing to do, he would come down to drink coffee, eat cake and read the newspaper, which is also a gathering place for idle people.

So it's work.

But after Enomoto Azusa wiped the table, she just stood in front of the counter with the tray, looking at Seimei and Shinna Kabori.

Xinming Xiangbaoli would come here occasionally, and she was one of the few who could talk to Qingming, so she was relatively familiar with her, but she would not suspect that there was any improper male-female relationship between her and Qingming.

That is impossible.

In fact, apart from Takei Naoko and Suzuki Ayako, Enomoto Azusa doesn't think there will be other enemies.

Rival.

Even Takei Naoko and Suzuki Ayako, she is not worried.

Let alone Takei Naoko, Suzuki Ayako and Qingming seldom see each other, and they seldom contact each other, so the threat is not great.

And Naoko Takei...

This girl is just a naive girl, and she has not discovered the essence of Qingming. When she understands, she will probably give up.

So Enomoto Azusa has been very calm.

but……

I just found a few books, and then delivered them in person early in the morning, such behavior...

Could it be that Qingming treats her as a friend, but she wants... something?

Azusa Enomoto looked at Shinna Kahori, thinking.

for a long time.

He shook his head helplessly.

"Impossible."

Think so.

With a sound of "ding", the guest opened the door and walked in.

Put on a smile and walk over.

"welcome."

"..."

An ordinary day in a coffee shop has begun again.

……

morning.

about ten o'clock.

Conan came to the coffee shop and seemed to have something to say to Qingming about what happened last night.

Holding a mobile phone in hand.

He raised it in front of Qingming, pressed a few buttons "beep beep", and then asked.

"How about it?"

"How about what?"

"Does this pitch change look like the beginning of a song?"

"who knows."

Qingming shrugged.

At this time, he had already focused on the ancient books brought by Xinming Xiangbaoli, and he was not in the mood to pay attention to these things.

"I'm not very sensitive to music, so don't come to me about this."

Just found such an excuse.

But to be honest, he really doesn't have any research on music. Among the Taoism, some are performed through sound, and most of these sounds exist in the form of music.

But Qingming doesn't know much, just some basic ones.

His fundamentals are solid.

For so many years, I can basically only study some basic knowledge, because there are no other resources, so I can only explore and advance by myself. It was not until not long ago that I obtained some relatively advanced Taoism.

It was obtained from ancient books.

And this time, Xinming Xiangbaoli brought him some basic ancient books, which have not been checked yet, so it is not clear whether these ancient books may hide any secrets.

But Qingming felt that there might be some.

How to say that sentence, anyway, it is "what the protagonist needs will be delivered to the protagonist through various forms" and the like.

Although Qingming doesn't think he is the so-called protagonist or anything.

Of course, this is not important.

In short, the current Qingming doesn't want to care about Conan's affairs. In his opinion, it's just a trivial matter, and he doesn't need to care about it at all, and he never cared about it.

"If you want to know, take this broken phone and go to any music academy and ask, those teachers and students who study music can answer you, or go to Otonokizaka Academy, Sakuragaoka Women's High School, etc Girls who are idols and musicians ask, but don’t come to me anyway, there is a coffee shop owner in the lower district, except for a little confidence in blending coffee, he doesn’t know anything else.”

Qingming shook his head while talking.

Anyway, there was a lot of long-winded words, and Conan couldn't understand what he was talking about, but the meaning was roughly understood.

All in all just not helpful.

Yes, don't help.

So in fact, Qingming can help, and Conan can know this.

Qingming is very powerful.

Because in the coffee shop, there is often a song called "Sorrowful Ayumi", which has never been heard in other places, only here in the coffee shop.

And the name of the song...

Therefore, even though Qingming said that the song was not composed by him, everyone thought it was his.

So I think he is also very good at music.

Now he said he couldn't help, it was obvious that he just didn't want to help.

Conan was a little helpless.

Obviously it only needs to be delayed for a minute or two, but this guy Qingming just doesn't help, he is really not a very good partner.

Perhaps the idea of ​​"asking Qingming for help" was a mistake from the beginning?
Conan thought.

Qingming didn't care about his thoughts, but carefully flipped through the ancient books in his hand.

This is the wisdom of the ancients.

It is also the inheritance of Chinese culture.

China has been able to pass on for thousands of years without severance, not because of anything else, but because of these national cultures engraved in the bones.

Common sayings, idioms, allegorical sayings, etc., are the crystallization of wisdom.

These alone may take a lifetime to study thoroughly.

It's a pity that many people now forget how powerful and intelligent their own nation used to be, and instead think that Western culture is stronger or something.

It’s okay to deny those in power, even one’s own nation must be denied...

That aside.

Anyway, no matter what, when the short life is over, it will eventually turn into a handful of loess and disappear in the long river of history, leaving only those cultures that have been passed down for thousands of years.

And it will continue to pass on.

……

evening.

sunset.

Qingming left the coffee shop and returned to the manor.

I came back a little early today, and the twin maids haven't prepared dinner yet.

But Qingming didn't care.

"Honami, Minaho, when dinner is ready, eat first, don't bother me."

"Yes!"

The twin maids answered in unison.

They didn't know what Qingming wanted to do, but since it was Qingming's order, there was no need to ask too much, and they didn't need to worry too much.

Qingming is not someone they need to worry about.

Hui Yuanai came out of the underground laboratory and saw this scene just in time.

I feel a little puzzled.

But Qingming turned around and went upstairs, and she didn't have a chance to ask. Even if she asked, Qingming probably wouldn't answer, so she didn't take it to heart.

I yawned and went to make tea.

upstairs.

In the Qingming room.

Taoism can do many things, such as hiding a book in another book, and it will not be discovered, unless it is a person who can also use Taoism, and the attainment should not be too low.

Qingming knows Taoism.

Although it has always been just the basics of research, its attainments are not low, although Qingming himself does not know what level he is at.

Just getting started?proficient?Master class?
None of this matters.

Now, what Qingming needs to do is to check whether there are any secrets belonging to Taoists hidden in the few ancient books brought by Xinming Xiangbaoli.

This is very important.
