Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 33 Realize...

The rain keeps falling.

In the forest, there seemed to be a girl's screaming faintly.

It's been a long time.

Everyone gathered at the entrance, including Qingming.

"Bandage freak?"

"That's right, he was the one who attacked Xiaolan in the woods!"

Suzuki Sonoko seemed a little agitated.

Some are afraid, some are frightened.

She invited Xiaolan to come here, but Xiaolan was attacked by unidentified dangerous elements.

What if something really happened?
If that's the case, I'm afraid she will never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

"Didn't you see that man just now? Sister, I saw him running towards the villa."

Suzuki Sonoko continued talking.

But Ayako Suzuki just shook her head.

"I didn't see it."

Saying that, he looked at Takahashi Ryoichi again.

"Did Takahashi see that? You've been fixing the roof, right?"

Climb high and look far.

Those who stand tall can see more things.

If you are on the roof all the time, your field of vision is wider than that of people in the house, so you can naturally see more in theory.

But Takahashi Ryoichi just shook his head, but his expression was a little serious.

"I didn't see it, but when I came here, I saw a strange man on the suspension bridge, wearing a black cloak and a tulip-shaped black hat on his head."

"It's him, it's him who attacked me!"

As soon as the words fell, Xiaolan affirmed this.

When she came with Conan and Qingming, she also saw it.

At this time, Conan nodded in agreement. He didn't forget that strange person, and he was a little scared at that time.

On one side, Qingming showed no expression.

He just squinted at Takahashi Ryoichi.

Just remembered, this guy will attack Xiaolan.

Do you want to expose him directly?
Qingming was lost in thought.

This seems to have been discovered by Ayako Suzuki.

When several people were discussing, she asked directly.

"Mr. Qingming, have you discovered anything?"

"I?"

The topic suddenly came to him, which caught Qingming a little off guard.

Look at Ayako Suzuki, and look at the others.

Rolling his eyes, he shrugged.

"Absolutely not."

"That's it."

Suzuki Ayako nodded.

A pair of squinting eyes, the eyes seem to be staring at Qingming, and seem to be looking at other people.

After a pause, he continued.

"I think it's better to go to the police first."

This proposal was unanimously approved.

Then I went to make a phone call.

Qingming didn't follow along, but just went back to the living room.

Continue standing in front of the window, looking out.

It was already night, and the rain was still falling, and the ground outside became a little muddy.

"Now, everything is still too late!"

Qingming muttered.

If you want to change, it's still too late, Chikako Ikeda is not dead yet.

Anyway, that is a life.

There is an old saying: saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.

Maybe someone should be rescued?
But Takahashi Ryoichi is taking revenge, revenge for his beloved.

There is no reason for anyone to stop a person from taking revenge.

This is the point of view that Qingming has always insisted on.

So, maybe it shouldn't be blocked.

However, Ryoichi Takahashi attacked Xiaolan. If he attacked once, there might be a second or third attack.

No matter what, they are still friends, and protecting Xiaolan is the right thing to do.

"Sure enough, I can control a person's fate!"

He looked down at his raised hands.

The seemingly weak hands can grasp and even manipulate a person's destiny.

Qingming realized this problem again.

The first time I realized this was after the Moon Shadow Island incident.

Asai Chengshi's fate changed because of him.

Now, he can also change the fate of one, or even two people.

Want to change?

He clenched his hands into fists and opened them again.

Repeat this several times.

"whispering sound!"

The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a smile.

That kind of smile seemed a little cold-blooded and cruel.

Or maybe, just a nonchalant smile?
God knows.

"Boom!"

Outside, thunder rang out.

A bolt of lightning flashed across, bringing brief light to the world.

Several people ran outside, as if they were chasing someone.

Then it was discovered that the suspension bridge connecting the two sides of the rift valley had been cut off by someone.

It's too late.

It was night, it was raining, and the suspension bridge was broken.

The telephone line was also cut off, and contact with the outside world was lost.

There is no way for the group to leave this mountain villa for the time being, so they can only be trapped here.

Trapped here with a dangerous person.

This makes people more or less feel a little panic.

Especially girls.

But this is also impossible.

Back in the villa, the group went to do their own things again.

Qingming also came to the kitchen.

Xiaolan and the others are also here, because dinner is not ready yet, so they came to help.

"Mr. Qingming, do you want to make coffee again?"

Ayako Suzuki, who noticed Qingming coming in, asked again with a smile.

This time, there was something preoccupied in the smile.

Maybe it's something to worry about.

For this sentence, Xiaolan was a little surprised.

"Eh? Ms. Ayako has drunk Qingming coffee? Mengpo soup?"

"Well, good coffee."

"..."

Xiaolan opened her mouth, but said nothing.

Is Mengpo soup coffee really good?
She couldn't taste it.

In other words, I took a sip of it for the first time and never drank it again.

During this time, every time she saw Quantum drinking one cup after another, she could only express her admiration.

It was the same with Suzuki Sonoko later.

Now, there is another Suzuki Ayako.

It's a good thing they can drink it!

Conan on the side was also hehehe, he didn't know how to complain.

Suzuki Sonoko was all smiles.

"Isn't it good? The foreign students said that one cup refreshes the mind, two cups will never get tired, and three cups will never age. Although the last sentence is completely false, but recently I drank a lot one after another, and I really don't feel tired so easily. Woolen cloth!"

"Is it?"

Suzuki Ayako drank it for the first time, and she didn't feel much yet.

He looked at Qingming again.

"Is it really good to have coffee at night? You won't be able to sleep."

"It's okay, it doesn't matter to me whether I sleep or not."

Qingming shook her head.

This time, they did come to make coffee.

Looking at his busy figure, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, there seems to be a rule in your store that drinking three cups in a row can make a wish come true."

Saying so, he looked at Suzuki Ayako again.

"Sister, don't you try?"

"Really?"

Suzuki Ayako seemed a little surprised.

After thinking about it, he looked at Qingming again.

"Then give me three glasses."

Qingming looked at her, then went directly to get the cup.

Therefore, it is really helpless to encounter such a monster who can drink Mengpo soup as water.

This is to make it clear that we must help her realize her wish.

I found three cups and poured out three cups.

Then, send it to Suzuki Ayako.

Suzuki Ayako wiped her hands and picked up the first cup.

Xiaolan was cooking dinner, but Suzuki Sonoko put down his work and approached Suzuki Ayako with a smile.

"Sister, what wish do you want to realize? Do you want to find a good husband?"

"No."

Suzuki Ayako shook her head.

Although she denied Suzuki Sonoko's statement, she did not reveal her own plan.

Maybe, also think that Qingming can't realize her wish?
But if that's the case, there's no need to drink it.

However, she didn't give up, and drank the coffee that looked unappetizing, sip by sip.

Mengpo soup can make people let go of everything and forget everything, whether it is happiness or sorrow.

Qingming coffee can't do that.

However, it is still possible to solve one or two annoying problems.
