Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 231 The first contact

a few days later.

At night, crowds gather in front of the museum to which the Suzuki Foundation belongs.

Prior to this, Suzuki Jiro-kun of the Suzuki Foundation sent a challenge message to Kaito Kidd in the newspaper, saying that he had prepared a gem and was waiting for him to come.

The Kaitou Kidd also challenged, and said that he would use the "walk" method to get the gems.

This attracts a lot of people.

Most of the people are fans of Kaitou Kidd, and they gathered together, wanting to see Kaitou Kidd with their own eyes.

"It's just a showy thief!"

on a building.

Qingming bent over and lay on the railing, looking at the scene in front of him with little interest.

He came to watch the fun.

The Mori family also came, invited by Suzuki Sonoko, to watch the fun, but Mori Kogoro and Conan were not just watching.

Of course, they were not with Qingming.

They didn't even know that Qingming Festival was coming, but at this moment, they had the same expressions of disbelief as the spectators crowded on the street.

Because Kaitou Kidd really "walked".

Come from the sky.

Walk in the air against gravity?And it makes walking noises?

It's too confusing.

Of course, some method must have been used, but Conan didn't explain it clearly for a while, because judging from various situations, there is no wire rope hanging Kaitou Kidd yet.

It does not matter.

Qingming doesn't care about this either, since he can truly walk and soar in the sky, he naturally despises these small tricks.

Moreover, this method is too easy to see.

Conan was just misled, and when he reacts, he will be able to solve the puzzle soon, it's no big deal.

Of course, Qingming is not just for watching the fun.

Behind him, a girl appeared.

Wearing a high school uniform, loose crimson mid-length straight hair, and wine-red eyes, the figure walking slowly exudes a mysterious temperament. No matter where she is placed, such a girl is always the focus of attention.

"Better to be in the limelight than not to be in the limelight."

The girl said so.

Slowly walking to Qingming's side, with a mysterious smile on his face, he watched the farce going on in the distance.

Really just farce.

By the way, those policemen really have plenty of free time. Every time they put up such a big battle to meet the Kaitou Kidd, but they fail every time, allowing a thief to show off.

"People who are incapable can't be in the limelight, people with a little ability are always thinking about being in the limelight, and people with great ability will not be in the limelight."

Qingming said so.

Turning his head slightly, he looked at the girl standing beside him.

What a beautiful girl.

This is the witch?
It's the first time I've seen the horse monkey shochu (magic girl) alive, although I had some small exchanges through the black cat before.

"Oh?"

The girl seemed amused, and the smile on her face became a little more obvious.

"So, what kind are you?"

"Me? I'm nothing, just a coffee shop owner, no big deal."

"Owner of the coffee shop..."

The girl suppressed her smile, quietly watching the farce that was still going on in the distance.

Qingming didn't speak either.

Silence for a long time.

"So, why did you ask me to meet here?"

Qingming asked.

Originally, he planned to stay in coffee shops and manors to study the Taoism that he was interested in, but one day before, the black cat ran into the coffee shop and climbed onto the counter.

Then, a message from the witch came.

Koizumi Hongzi made an appointment with Qingming to meet here tonight, and she didn't say anything, just let Qingming come over.

Ching Ming is here.

By the way, I watched a farce and found it quite boring. There are so many people who can't catch a thief, and Conan, as if his IQ was forcibly lowered, was led by the nose.

Obviously this guy was able to play Belmode around before.

On the night of the full moon, Belmode's plan was completely seen through by him. Although there was a bit of an accident in the middle, generally speaking, it was carried out according to his plan.

So it's obviously a smart person.

But that's not important.

"It's nothing, I just feel that we have fought many times in private, so I just want to meet you, a Taoist priest, by taking this opportunity."

The girl explained it like this.

Previously, they had fought back and forth secretly many times. Although they knew about each other's existence, they had never met each other, and they didn't even have a real language conversation. They just conveyed information through the black cat.

That's not a verbal conversation, it feels like an eye contact.

God?

None of that matters either.

As opponents, as the only known Taoist priest and witch, it seems unreasonable not to meet each other.

This is understandable.

Anyway, for Qingming, he also wanted to meet this magical girl, not because of anything else, but because both of them could be regarded as the same kind. Apart from the two of them, no third person with the ability has been found yet.

Maybe the only two?

This is possible, but since there are two of them, theoretically speaking, with so many people in the whole world, there should be other capable people.

Although they can't meet anyone except each other.

"It's raining!"

Qingming raised his head, tiny raindrops fell from the sky and fell on his face, there was a tiny cold touch.

It was said before that it was going to rain.

But this rain will not be too heavy, nor will it last for too long.

far away.

Kaitou Kidd is already approaching the museum, and he is about to "walk" in front of the gem.

But stopped.

Then it released a puff of smoke with a "pop" and disappeared.

"He's pretty good at playing the cops around."

The girl said something.

It seemed that she admired that Kaitou Kidd very much.

Thinking about it, according to some of Qingming's memories, if there is no accident, the girl also has a secret heart for the Kaitou Kidd.

Because the boy is not as interested in her as the others, the girl is attracted instead...

It's an old-fashioned setup.

But how to put it, it is precisely because it is special that it attracts attention. This is also a normal performance.

"so so."

Qingming is not very optimistic about Kaitou Kidd.

But it is not important.

"Hey, Miss Witch."

"?"

"Can you do divination?"

"of course."

"How about making a deal? You help me divination, I help you fortune-telling, and see our mutual future."

Qingming said so.

Since I can't figure out my own affairs, it might be okay to let others do the calculations, so that I can know some things that may happen.

But the girl shook her head and refused.

Qingming was a little puzzled.

"why?"

"Divination and fortune-telling are not good things, so if it's not particularly important, it's better not to do it. Don't you know that if you do too many things, there will be serious consequences?"

"Consequences? There are countless possibilities in the future. Fortune-telling, I just want to know what I will face, and then either let nature take its course or find a way to make my future become another possibility. What are the consequences?"

Qingming said he didn't understand.

The rain became heavier, and the sound of "cracking" rain could also be heard, and the ground began to get wet.

But whether it is Qingming or a witch, it will not be affected.

The girl's eyes also kept looking into the distance, and the gathered crowd gradually began to dissipate.

"There are indeed countless possibilities in the future, but that only refers to most things. For some things, there is only one possibility. This cannot be changed. If you insist on changing it, it will only cause bad consequences."

"What has only one possibility?"

"a lot of."

"A lot? For example?"

"For example..."

The girl finally moved her gaze and looked at Qingming.

There was no movement in his eyes, and what he said seemed to make people feel a chill.

"die."
