Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 34
Everyone has wishes that they want to achieve.

To put it nicely, it is called ideal; to put it badly, it is called desire.

Suzuki Ayako naturally also has.

But after drinking the coffee, she didn't say anything to Qingming.

Maybe she didn't think Qingming could fulfill her wish.

Or, just simply want to drink coffee?

Only she knows.

Qingming didn't worry about this, whether it was Suzuki Ayako's business or not.

If he said it, he would naturally take care of it. If he didn't say it, then he didn't need to take care of it.

Actually, it doesn't matter.

Chikako Ikeda died.

And he died a miserable death. It is said that his body was dismembered, and his head, hands and feet were separated from his body.

Qingming didn't go to see it, so I don't know.

Suzuki Ayako, Suzuki Sonoko and Xiaolan didn't go either, otherwise they might be too scared to sleep tonight.

The death of Chikako Ikeda made everyone panic.

After some discussion, there was no result.

Finally decided to go to sleep.

Lock the doors and windows and rush back to their rooms.

Qingming also has her own room, and Xiaolan and Conan live together.

There was no activity, and the villa became quiet.

Perhaps everyone else has fallen asleep.

Qingming was not in a hurry to rest, but just stood in front of the window, watching the night scene outside.

The rain seems to have stopped.

The windows are floor-to-ceiling windows, and the outside is a balcony.

Qingming opened the window and walked out, occasionally a gust of cool wind blew by, making people feel a little cold.

Looking up, there is no moon and no stars, only darkness.

"Darkness is the best cover for evil!"

Qingming thought so.

Takahashi Ryoichi will continue to attack Xiaolan, this is for sure.

For a former friend, he was able to do such a thing as dismemberment...

Is it the loss of morality?Or a distortion of human nature?

God knows.

"There is a devil in everyone's heart!"

This matter made Qingming come to such a conclusion.

He doesn't think there will be any exceptions.

People are all like this, the only difference is that some people lock up the demon deep in their hearts, and some people release it.

Ryoichi Takahashi is clearly the latter.

Xiaolan is obviously the former.

However, even Xiaolan has the possibility of blackening.

What if it leads to a sickly route?
So in theory, everyone can be blackened.

"But, that's a girl called an angel!"

……

night, deeper.

The rain started to fall again, and the sound of pattering rain made the night at the villa in the mountain quiet and profound.

In the darkness, someone is moving.

Qingming is not against revenge, that is the right that everyone should have, just like everyone is entitled to love.

Love and hate, love and hatred, cannot be separated.

Ryoichi Takahashi is out for revenge.

Because of hatred, he killed Chikako Ikeda.

But why do you want to kill Xiaolan?
Because he didn't want to be exposed, he didn't want to expose his identity as a murderer.

Although it was just a glimpse, he doubted that Xiaolan might remember at some point that he was not as fat as he appeared now.

By then, his modus operandi may be seen through.

He couldn't tolerate this, so he wanted to kill someone, even if it was a high school girl who had no enmity with him.

revenge?

At this moment, it has nothing to do with revenge.

He successfully entered the room where Xiaolan and Conan were, raised the ax and pointed it at the sleeping girl.

But the action is spoiled by Conan.

Xiaolan also woke up soon.

An exclamation of "Ah" broke the tranquility of the night.

When the others heard the cry, they would gather around quickly.

Seeing that nothing could be done, he rushed out the window and tried to escape.

But I can't run away.

Qingming has never been a person who likes to use reasoning to solve things.

Because reasoning relies too much on subjective consciousness, evidence, etc., it can be faked.

Qingming prefers to speak with facts.

Grab a current situation directly, leaving the other party speechless.

Ryoichi Takahashi ran out of the room. He lifted his leg and kicked him, kicking him backwards with a "bang", and fell to the floor of the room.

"hateful!"

Perhaps it was because Qingming didn't kill him, Takahashi Ryoichi didn't lose his ability to move, and got up quickly.

He still wants to run.

But Qingming didn't give him a chance, and didn't even make him react, so he walked in front of him.

With the blessing of the amulet, the speed is very fast.

Facing Ryoichi Takahashi who seemed a little startled, Seimei just raised the corners of his mouth and showed a smile.

A sunny-looking smile.

But it wasn't sunny at all.

Turning around, a hand knife hit him directly on the back of the head.

When he rolled his eyelids, Takahashi Ryoichi fainted gorgeously.

With a wave of his hand, Ryoichi Takahashi's body was thrown aside with a "bang".

Conan and Xiaolan only reacted at this time.

Xiaolan was still in shock, after all, she was almost cut down just now, and it was Conan who saved her.

But Conan also sprained his ankle.

"What happened?"

Outside, there were other voices.

Qingming didn't speak, just walked over and opened the door to let them in.

I, on the contrary, left directly.

He didn't want to do troublesome things. Anyway, the murderer came out directly, and Conan would naturally take care of the rest of the reasoning.

……

That's how things worked out.

Qingming remained low-key, and when Xiaolan asked him to thank him, she just smiled and said nothing.

Conan seemed to care more about him.

I felt it before, but now it seems to prove the conjecture: Qingming is not an easy person.

After all, in this case, he even thought it was done by an outsider. He didn't suspect an insider, so he didn't have any precautions.

But Qingming obviously realized this a long time ago, so when Ryoichi Takahashi attacked Xiaolan, he could appear in time.

Not even interested in the murderer's identity at all, he knocked him out and left.

This may mean that he has long known that the murderer under the mask is Takahashi Ryoichi, so he is not interested.

But since when did you know that?

After Chikako Ikeda was killed?Or before being killed?

If it was discovered after being killed, it means that Qingming's reasoning ability and observation ability are very strong, and he can easily see through the truth.

If it was discovered before being killed...

He paused, then shook his head again.

"impossible."

The case never happened, and I didn't know each other before, so how could I know that the other party would kill?

If that's the case, it's a prophet.

In this world, there are no unnatural existences of those gods and ghosts.

At least, Conan is a staunch atheist, and he doesn't think there are any gods and ghosts.

As for the so-called Taoist priests, magicians, witches, etc., it is even more nonsense.

In his opinion, they are all charlatans.

"It seems that he has strong reasoning ability and observation ability."

Conan came to this conclusion.

Of course, there is also a strong fighting power.

And it's different from Xiaolan.

Although Xiaolan is powerful, she always forgets this. Sometimes when danger comes, she will not use karate to attack the enemy.

Maybe because I was too scared to forget?

Or maybe it's just because I didn't make up my mind.

If she has really made up her mind, Xiaolan is definitely very strong, at least there is no problem with self-protection under normal circumstances.

But Qingming is different.

Qingming was well aware of it, and his attack was not sloppy at all.

If there were no concerns, perhaps the first kick would have made Ryoichi Takahashi unable to stand up.

Anyway, Conan is pretty sure.

Qingming is not an easy person.

Moreover, it is hidden very deeply, and there is basically no sense of existence at ordinary times, so it is easy to be ignored.

Maybe it has many secrets that people don't want to discover.

But thinking deeper, Conan became a little more on guard.

Is Qingming an enemy or a friend?
