Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 30 What a tragedy
"You seem to have misunderstood something."

Qingming lowered his head and did not look at Asai Chengshi.

Just flipping through books.

"I have never saved anyone. The Asai Chengshi I knew was a fake girl who disguised herself as a woman, and she was already buried in the flames."

This girl really has a big heart, is she afraid that others will not know her true identity?
Did not continue to think about this issue.

Naruto Asai seemed to understand something.

But she didn't play dumb.

"I'm leaving. I'm going to study in a medical school in the Europa continent. I may not come back in the future. Before I leave, I want to thank you."

It's okay to leave.

This is Neon after all, although the Neon police seem a little incompetent.

But it's still the police.

It would be safer to leave here and go where no one knows.

Qingming didn't say anything about it, and didn't even raise her head.

He just waved his hand.

Maybe he didn't want to say anything more to her, or maybe he just told her to leave quickly.

It doesn't matter.

Asai Chengshi understood what he meant and just smiled.

"Thank you very much. I already know your address. If possible, I will write to you. If you need my help, please ask."

After saying goodbye, he left.

After she went out, Qingming raised his head, picked up the coffee on the counter, and took a sip.

Some people are just passers-by in life after all.

Will we meet again in the future?
God knows.

Outside the coffee shop.

"I'm going to Yuanzi's villa tomorrow, I'm going to ask if Qingming is ready."

Ran said this to Conan.

But Conan didn't seem to pay attention to this, he just looked at a girl who came out of the coffee shop with some curiosity.

Dressed up like an OL girl, she looks very pretty.

As soon as he saw him and Xiaolan, he seemed to be taken aback for a moment.

Then he smiled, put on his sunglasses and left, leaving only their back view.

"what?"

Xiaolan seemed to have noticed it too, and was a little puzzled.

"Did you meet that person just now?"

"Seems to be."

Conan is not just wondering, but also speculating about various possibilities.

Although the dress is different, the shape of the face has not changed, and the height has not changed...

"Is it Miss Chengshi?"

Conan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Xiaolan was also taken aback for a moment.

Then he smiled and shook his head.

"How is that possible?"

The Naruto Asai they knew had no bones left in the fire, so how could he appear here.

Moreover, that Naruto Asai was a man, but the one just now didn't look like a man no matter what.

"Impossible."

Anyway, Xiaolan didn't believe it.

Without too much guesswork, I went straight into the coffee shop.

Conan thought about it carefully and thought it was the same.

Shaking his head helplessly, he also walked into the shop.

It's just that deep down in my heart, I still can't help but have some doubts.

Is Naruto Asai really dead?
After that, I asked about the relevant situation and learned that no bones were found.

It's not a cremator. Normally, it's not that simple to burn a corpse without leaving any bones.

But it just didn't find out.

Therefore, in the police files, the person "Naromi Asai" was marked as missing.

Although everyone thinks that the other party is dead.

Only now, Conan has doubts about it.

If, if the other party did not die, but was rescued, is there such a possibility?

Of course there is.

However, in that situation, no one could rush into the fire to save people.

Even if it really rushed in, it would be impossible to escape unscathed.

But at that time Qingming, there was nothing wrong with her body...

"Maybe it's just overthinking."

Conan made a definition in his mind.

However, maybe you need to pay more attention to Qingming.

This international student, now it seems that it is not so simple.

……

weekend.

It has always been very easy to go out during the Qingming Festival.

Carrying a backpack, carrying a kettle with coffee and cups, plus a few other things.

Then it's gone.

Together with Xiaolan and Conan, they went to the mountainous area where Suzuki Sonoko's villa is located.

After getting off the car, follow the map and walk straight along the mountain road.

The air in the mountains is relatively fresh.

If it rains again, you can obviously feel the difference.

It is almost impossible to smell the aroma of earth and grass in a big city.

As a Taoist priest, he respects nature more.

In the final analysis, the abilities possessed by Taoist priests were evolved through comprehension of nature.

Therefore, most Taoists live in seclusion in the mountains, comprehending nature in order to ascend to the Tao.

Although Qingming doesn't know whether the legendary Ascension exists or not, he has never seen it, and there is no record in ancient books.

Maybe it's really just a legend.

Coming to the mountains also made Qingming feel a lot more comfortable.

Perhaps the black-bellied attribute has also been purified.

It's just that Lu Chi's attributes cannot be changed.

Of course, Qingming would not admit this.

"How should I put it... I'm not very sensitive to maps, directions, etc., so you should take it, Xiaolan."

"This... so, then... I'll do it myself."

Xiaolan was also a little embarrassed.

Holding the map, looking left, right, up, down, it turns out that every girl...

"Hehehe."

Conan on one side rolled his dead fish eyes with a hehehe expression.

I have been walking in the forest for a long time, but I still haven't reached the villa of Sonoko Suzuki's family. I can't even see people around, and I haven't found any buildings.

Are you really lost?
Two high school students are really unreliable.

……

The wind blows and the leaves shake.

The sunlight is divided into spots and scattered on the road.

Unknown wild flowers exude a fragrance.

Occasionally, a cry is heard.

Is it the chirping of birds?Or insects?

Although it was afternoon, it was still so cool in the forest.

Under the tree, there is a layer of fallen leaves.

Below, perhaps dead branches and rotten leaves?
Behind the brilliance, there may be unbearable rot.

Qingming was immersed in his emotions, and unknowingly, he followed Xiaolan for a long time.

The time soon came to the afternoon.

After wandering around for a long time, the group finally came to a small rift.

A suspension bridge connects the two sides of the rift.

Opposite the suspension bridge is a villa.

It looks very big, and it is estimated that it is not something that ordinary people can own.

And on the suspension bridge, there was another person in black clothes, moving forward slowly.

Perhaps sensing someone behind him, the other party stopped and turned around.

What I saw was a person whose head was covered with bandages, like a mummy.

Unlike the sluggish mummy, this man's eyes were full of murderous intent.

Xiaolan and Conan were frightened.

The other party didn't seem to want to be discovered, so he rushed towards the villa, went around the villa, and disappeared into the woods.

It's pretty fast.

"Then... that person should also be going to the villa, right?"

"It should be... no."

Neither Xiaolan nor Conan seemed to want to face such a terrifying person.

Qingming didn't care, just looked thoughtful.

This time, it seems, something will happen.

Sonoko Suzuki's villa, her sister's class reunion, weird people covered in bandages...

Sure enough, Suzuki Sonoko was right in not inviting Conan.

It's a pity that Conan still came with him.

"What a tragedy!"
