Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 244 It's time to go

In the end, Azusa Enomoto chose to change the subject and looked at Qingming suspiciously.

"Shopkeeper, didn't you help with the matter of Miss Xiangbaoli's father?"

"What help?"

"Obviously you are a Taoist priest. If you are sick or something, you should have a way, right? For example, use some spells that can cure diseases."

"Even a Taoist priest is not omnipotent. How can I stop Lord Yama from accepting someone?"

Qingming shrugged.

"Besides, when I rushed there last night, it was already too late. If Xiangbaoli had informed me earlier, maybe it wouldn't have happened."

"Then why didn't she inform you?"

Azusa Enomoto asked.

But Qingming did not answer.

He didn't understand why the new name Xiangbaoli didn't inform him immediately.

Maybe it was just a small problem at first, so I didn't want to trouble him, or maybe it was because of other reasons.

But no matter what, it's useless to worry about these now.

Because no matter how entangled, the death of Xinming Ren Tailang has become a fact, even Qingming, there is no way to reverse the yin and yang to bring a dead person back to life.

In the final analysis, he is still too weak. If he can be stronger, maybe there will be a way.

Not to mention that.

"Azi."

"Ok?"

"Perhaps I should go too."

"what?"

Azusa Enomoto said he did not understand.

time to go?
"Where are you going? Go home? Back to Huaxia? Or..."

"I do not know either."

"what?"

"how to say……"

Qingming put down the fork.

The cake was already eaten, so I picked up the biscuit and threw it into my mouth, talking while eating.

"Perhaps leaving this world."

"..."

"Don't get me wrong, I just got a book about space Taoism before. Do you understand space? It's that...parallel space and so on. Recent research has begun to show signs of it. Maybe you can leave this world and go to another world. .”

Qingming explained.

This is something he has always wanted to do, and now, he has grasped a glimmer of hope, so he will not miss it.

have to go.

But before he left, there were still some things that he couldn't let go of, or some people made him worry.

Such as Enomoto Azusa.

As for Enomoto Azusa, Qingming's statement caught her off guard.

"that……"

"Don't worry, I'll be back."

Qingming waved his hand.

If he can come back, he certainly doesn't mind coming back to this world again, although he doesn't like this world very much.

But the problem is, he doesn't know what the consequences will be.

Maybe you will die at the first try, or maybe you will get lost in the endless time and space, and never return to this world, you can only drift like a rootless duckweed.

After all, it is related to space, which is very dangerous.

But Qingming will not say this.

He didn't feel the need to explain this, and even if he did, Enomoto Azusa might not be able to understand it.

Eating biscuits.

She looked at Azusa Enomoto who was standing in front of her, frowning.

She might already be worried.

"Hey, Ah Zi."

"what?"

"Do you want to learn Taoism with me?"

"Daoism?"

Azusa Enomoto was stunned again.

In the past, Qingming never seemed to ask such a question, nor did she ask if she could learn it, but she was still full of curiosity about things like Taoism in her heart.

If you can learn, I believe no one will refuse.

But she was a little puzzled.

"why?"

"?"

"Suddenly asking me if I want to learn, I always feel like a conspiracy."

"..."

Qingming looked at Azusa Enomoto who seemed to be on guard, feeling somewhat helpless.

So say this...

Well, that's not the point either.

"It's just asking if you want to learn. If you want to learn, I will teach you."

"Um……"

Finding that Qingming doesn't seem to have a conspiracy, Enomoto Azusa also began to think seriously.

Taoism...

She didn't know much about it.

However, I also know some representative things, such as Sprinkling Beans into Soldiers, and other things like drawing symbols to catch ghosts, which are all superficial things.

Sure, it all looks like fun.

But if you study...

"forget it."

She still shook her head and refused.

"I don't even know much Chinese characters, and I can't understand many articles, let alone your Taoist scriptures."

Although she is studying.

However, no matter how hard you try, it is impossible to learn something useful so quickly. If it is not for the neon characters and many cultures are branches of Chinese culture, it will be even more difficult to learn.

She is now barely able to achieve a level of fluency in daily conversations.

But Taoist scriptures are all ancient articles.

She can't even understand modern Chinese articles, and she can't even understand those ancient articles. Moreover, there are some things that are difficult for non-native Chinese people to understand the essence of them.

Before Qingming could say anything, a "ding" signaled that a guest was coming.

So Enomoto Azusa passed.

Qingming looked at her busy back and shook her head.

"If you don't learn, don't learn."

Anyway, it is not necessary to let her learn, more, it is just a question on a whim.

Not much to say.

While drinking coffee and eating biscuits, he lowered his head and picked up the novel that was put aside to read.

It seems that there is not much difference between today and yesterday.

What about tomorrow?
Then we have to wait until tomorrow to find out.

……

evening.

off-duty hours.

From the beginning of not closing the door all day and all night, to now opening the door on time and closing the door on time, this can be said to be a very big change.

But no one seems to care about such changes.

There seems to be not much change between Qingming and Enomoto Azusa.

If I really want to say, Qingming's "attack" against Enomoto Azusa seems to have decreased a lot, and I don't know when it started.

fair enough.

You know, the sexual (beep~) harassment before Qingming made Azusa Enomoto very distressed.

But what should I say...

Sometimes it seems to be alienated, and there will be an uncomfortable feeling in my heart.

"I'm leaving, shopkeeper, see you tomorrow."

"Oh."

Qingming nodded.

Seeing the back of Enomoto Azusa gradually going away and blending into the crowd, he sighed softly again.

"See you tomorrow."

If there is still tomorrow.

However, maybe every day has to be spent as the last day, because I don't know when, maybe I can't wake up again after falling asleep.

This is not impossible.

"Aha..."

Yawning, he turned around and walked towards the direction of the manor.

It does feel a little tired.

The sky gradually darkened, and the street lamps on both sides, the neon lights of the shops, etc., also lit up one after another, either steadily, or constantly flashing and changing the color of the lights.

There are not many pedestrians yet.

Maybe still have dinner at home or something, and the night will get lively after a while.

But now, it seems a little deserted.

Occasionally passing people in pairs, Qingming himself seems a little alone.

"At least better than Mr. Xiaolin."

He thought so.

Anyway, if you want to look happy, you just need to compare yourself with those who are less fortunate.

Many people do.

Base your happiness on the suffering of others.

"What a good idea."

Qingming shook her head.

But when it came to Mr. Xiaolin, he suddenly remembered.

"Mr. Xiao Lin seems to be missing frequently recently, so what is he doing? The women's clothing is broadcast live? No, no, that guy is not so unscrupulous. I guess it's the women's clothing aid (beep~) who handed it over."

he muttered.

It seems that this world is full of malice towards Mr. Xiaolin.

But this has nothing to do with Qingming.

For the current Qingming, what he wants to do most is to leave this world as soon as possible.

Then, find the meaning of your existence.

People have to live for something, someone or something. If they live only for the sake of life, it is almost like a walking dead.

This is the case with Qingming now.

Maybe if he goes to another place, maybe meets more capable people, he will be able to gradually find the meaning of his existence.

Or maybe not.

But no matter what, you have to give it a try.
