Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 241 Living and Dying
Ayumi and Haibara went to the manor instead of the coffee shop.

But Qingming didn't care.

After all, he was always in control of the whereabouts of the two little girls, and there were always crows following them, even in school, and there were more than one.

This is for safety.

There is never a shortage of accidents in the world, and the existence of the crow can protect the two little girls to the greatest extent in case of accidents.

Of course, in Qingming's mind, Hui Yuan Ai is still incidental.

It does not matter.

Under normal circumstances, Qingming would not care what they were doing.

Qingming is just doing her own thing.

There were no guests today, and the two little girls didn't come over either, so whether it was Qingming or Enomoto Azusa, they were all at leisure.

Although Qingming has always been very leisurely.

To avoid boredom, Azusa Enomoto held a newspaper and stood in front of the counter to read.

There seemed to be a lot of stories and stuff on that.

Qingming seldom reads newspapers, so it is not very clear that he is not the one who ordered the newspapers, but Enomoto Azusa. Most famous newspapers are ordered and provided for guests to read.

Therefore, the profitability of coffee shops has always been worrying.

It does not matter.

"Woo... um... woo..."

Azusa Enomoto kept making strange noises.

Hmm, Qingming finds it strange.

When I looked carefully, I realized that she seemed to be wiping away tears, but for some reason, she started to cry.

"Why are you crying?"

"what?"

"I asked why you were crying."

"Oh, this..."

Azusa Enomoto put the newspaper on the table, pushed it in front of Qingming, and pointed to a story on it.

"This was so touching that I cried."

"..."

Qingming didn't respond.

He looked expressionless, but he was actually looking at Azusa Enomoto with an idiotic look.

This made Azusa Enomoto very unhappy.

"What do you mean by that look?"

"It means whatever you think it means, you can cry after reading a story, tsk tsk..."

"What? Can't you be moved?"

"Moved? Tch!"

Qingming pouted.

He has something to say about this.

"Azi, you have to understand that human beings are only moved by themselves, not by others. If you think this story is moved, it is very moved. If you think it is not moved, it is not moved at all. clear?"

"Humph!"

Azusa Enomoto pouted and hummed softly.

However, he didn't express any opinions. He didn't know whether he agreed with Qingming's point of view, or he didn't intend to talk nonsense with him at all.

Qingming insisted on his point of view.

He also doesn't think there is anything wrong with his point of view. To some extent, human beings are creatures that can only move themselves.

Like what you like, hate what you hate.

That's the essence.

He even lives in his own world and thinks what the world is like, as if he has grasped the truth of this world.

Like investigating a case.

If the process and results of the investigation were different from what I thought, I would yell "shady", "officials and officials protect each other" and the like, but I couldn't produce any evidence or even suspicious clues to overturn the investigation results of the case.

He would just yell there, make some insinuations with the appearance of "hehe", and pretend that "everyone is drunk but I am sober".

Well, it doesn't really matter.

"So you stupid humans!"

Qingming shook her head.

After speaking, he smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Although I am also human."

"..."

Azusa Enomoto showed a surprised expression.

"Human? You?"

"..."

A moment of silence.

"Don't you think I'm not?"

"Don't you think you are?"

"So when did you start to have the wrong idea that 'Qingming is not alone'?"

"I also want to ask you since when did you have the wrong idea that you are a human being? Isn't it universally recognized that you are not a human being?"

"..."

The world is really cruel.

……

evening.

Qingming returned to the manor.

Although she had "quarreled" with Azusa Enomoto after a long absence, Qingming was still in a good mood and always had a smile on her face.

It still looks like a fake smile.

But after seeing Ayumi, the smile on his face became a little more sincere.

"Do you want to live here tonight? Then go and call your parents first."

"Hi!"

Ayumi responded.

Then I went to make a phone call by myself.

She stayed here in the manor, and she didn't worry about her parents' disapproval. They were very relieved about Qingming.

Not to mention that.

Shimokasaho Naho and Shimokasaho Nami have already prepared dinner.

As soon as Qingming comes back, hot meals are brought up immediately. Qingming's habit is to have dinner first after returning, and then go to take a bath.

Although Qingming really wanted them to ask "should I eat dinner first, take a bath first, or...".

But thinking doesn’t necessarily mean putting it into action.

Some people often think about killing people, rebelling, etc. Are they really going to do it?

And there are some things you can't do.

Dinner was no surprise.

After a meal, the sky has also darkened, and it is really dark.

Ayumi and Haibara went to take a bath together.

Qingming sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea and eating snacks, while the twin maids waited on her.

Sis is there too.

She has a low sense of presence recently, and I don't know if it is because of the name "Qi" that she has acquired the attribute of Akalin.

Obviously it's always been here.

But if I really want to say it, Qingming thinks that he is Akalin's faithful believer.

"Ah!"

Stretch comfortably.

Speaking of Akalin, many people often ask "Huh? Who is this person", "Why is there suddenly another person" and so on.

These are all false believers.

The so-called "Akalin" attribute refers to the low sense of existence, but the low sense of existence does not mean that it does not exist. It has always existed, but no one noticed it.

So what's the deal with the reaction of "I didn't have this person before" and "I don't know this person"?

But that doesn't matter either.

"Minaho..."

Qingming was about to say something, but the phone rang suddenly.

Nodding towards Shimokasami Naho, the maid took his mobile phone and went to answer the call instead of him.

After saying a few words, he handed the phone to Qingming again.

"It's Miss Shambori."

"Oh."

Qingming nodded.

He took the phone and smiled.

"Shappori, why... eh?"

The smile stiffened.

"what happened?"

"Father he..."

"Where are you now?"

"Hospital……"

"I'll go right now."

After speaking, hang up the call and stand up directly.

"I'm going out."

Without unnecessary nonsense, Qingming left the manor and hurried towards the hospital.

……

Accidents happen anytime.

I originally thought that today would be passed peacefully again, but I didn't expect that it was already night, but there was a problem.

The father of the new name, Xiang Baoli, was taken to the hospital.

Maybe it was a relapse of an old illness, or maybe it was the end of life. Although Qingming rushed to the hospital soon, it was still one step too late.

This mystery novelist has swallowed his last breath.

Qingming worked hard, but in the end he was still weak and failed to cure him again so that he could spend more time with his wife and daughter.

"Ugh……"

Sigh lightly.

In my heart, I felt a sense of helplessness and powerlessness.

"People are always going to die!"

In my mind, thinking so.

The only difference is when to die and how to die.

Today is the new name Ren Taro, and tomorrow it will be someone else, maybe when it will be Qingming's turn.

That's not good.

Although he is a Taoist priest, although there are some ways to prolong life, it is not the art of immortality after all, and it is even more impossible to obtain eternal life. Sooner or later, he will die.

At that time, there will be nothing left.

Nothing will be lost.

"It turns out that being alive is the greatest helplessness!"
