Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 8 How is it possible (Happy Dragon Boat Festival)

Moon Shadow Island.

The Maori family asked about the residence of "Keiji Aso" in the village office.

Conan stood aside and glanced around.

Suddenly found something wrong.

Walking to Xiaolan's side, tugging at the corner of her clothes.

"Hey, sister Xiaolan."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Xiaolan bent down and looked at him with a smile.

Since there was an extra Conan in the family, she felt like she had an extra younger brother, and she was addicted to being an older sister.

Conan didn't care about these little things. Perhaps the only thing that attracted him the most was the case.

"Brother Qingming is gone."

"Eh?"

Hearing what he said, Xiaolan seemed to have reacted.

He straightened up and looked around.

It was indeed found that Qingming, who had been by his side before, had disappeared at this time.

Lost?
No, no, it's not a child.

Did you run to play by yourself?
Xiaolan scratched her head and thought for a while.

Then he shook his head and looked at Conan with a smile.

"Maybe I went to play by myself, it's okay."

Anyway, this small island is not big, and I will stay here for one night tonight. After that, I only need to go to a hotel or other places to inquire about it, and I can find it.

Unless you don't live in a hotel during the Qingming Festival, where can you live if you don't live in a hotel?
There is no one Qingming knows here.

So Xiaolan didn't care.

She's not a child anymore, so she doesn't need to worry about it.

Conan didn't continue to say anything, just thoughtful.

He didn't know much about Qingming.

When I was still Kudo Shinichi, I only met a few times, and didn't communicate too deeply.

Speaking of it, it is limited to understanding.

After I became Conan, because I lived in Mori's house, and Qingming's coffee shop was just below the office, so the communication began to increase.

Although it is said that there are many, but most of them are greetings and the like.

So the understanding of Qingming is basically through Xiaolan.

Xiaolan and Qingming are friends, they are familiar with each other, and they have talked a lot with Kudo Shinichi back then.

To put it simply, Qingming is considered a "good person" in Xiaolan's eyes.

Apart from not going to class, there is nothing wrong with it.

But Conan doesn't think so.

It's not that he thinks Qingming is a bad person, it's just that he thinks Qingming is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

Because of the legend about the coffee shop, he had heard of it.

I heard from Ms. Sonoko Suzuki that the girl often gossips about various things.

It is precisely because of this that Conan knows urban legends such as "coffee shops opened by vampires and demons" and "drinking three cups of coffee in a row can make a wish come true".

Although he didn't know why there were such rumors, but because he had heard about Quantum, he guessed that the coffee shop in the rumor was Qingming's coffee shop.

And it is probably not groundless that they are said to be "vampires, demons" and the like.

Qingming is not as simple as it seems on the surface, so it is not sure whether it is a good person or a bad person.

Now, Qingming left without even saying hello...

Maybe there is some conspiracy behind this?
Conan thought about it seriously.

After a while, he shook his head helplessly and smiled wryly.

It should be impossible, what kind of conspiracy can a foreign student have.

……

Qingming really didn't have any conspiracy.

If there is any purpose, it is to see the legendary big JJ cute girl.

I remember it was the doctor from the island.

In fact, the medical center is not far from the village office, it can be said that it can be reached within a few steps.

The premise is that you are going in the right direction.

But unfortunately, after turning around for a while, Qingming suddenly found out.

"Looks like I went wrong!"

Scratching his head, he looked at his surroundings.

This has already reached the edge of the village, and the medical center cannot be here.

There is no way, Qingming can only go back.

If you take the wrong path, you can go back, but if you take the wrong path in life, you can't turn back.

Qingming is not a person who likes to sigh with emotion.

But now, suddenly thinking of this, I still can't help but sigh with emotion.

Just thinking about it, suddenly there are some surprises.

Could it be himself and Lu Chi's attributes?
"Hehehe, how is it possible?"

He laughed a few times and continued on his way.

But soon stopped again, looking at a fork in the road.

Then scratched his head.

Well, when I came here, it seemed to be the road on the right.

No, no, it seems to be the other side...

……

It was already afternoon when we landed on the island.

The Maori family inquired everywhere and heard a lot of things.

The most direct is: Keiji Aso died 15 years ago.

Yes, dead.

So who is the person who commissioned Mori Kogoro to come here?Why did you use the name of Keiji Aso?
This is a bit confusing.

In the end, I just thought that maybe someone wanted him to help investigate the truth about the death of Keiji Aso.

As for Keiji Aso, young people on the island basically don't know him.

The people I know basically can't talk about what happened back then, and they don't know much about it.

The clearest one is perhaps Keiji Aso's childhood playmate, the current village head Tatsuji Kuroiwa or something.

After inquiring with the doctor on the island, Mori Kogoro and his party walked towards the public hall, intending to ask Kuroiwa Tatsuji or something.

Outside the Civic Hall.

A lot of people gathered here, and they even pulled up banners and held up signs, roaring enthusiastically.

"The tyranny of the current village chief is not allowed!"

"Down with privilege!"

"..."

Seeing all this, Mori Kogoro just sighed secretly.

On the other side, Qingming also came here.

And mixed into the crowd of demonstrators.

Hearing the roars around him, he was a little confused at first.

Suddenly, as if infected, he raised his arms and shouted.

"Down with neon imperialism!"

"..."

A moment of silence.

Immediately after that, someone went crazy.

"Who is it?"

"What are you shouting for?"

"..."

Everyone glared.

But Qingming, who realized that something was wrong, had already run away.

Outside the crowd, wipe off the sweat that doesn't exist on your forehead.

"Hey, what an unenlightened islander!"

Sure enough, when dealing with this kind of people, should we shoot more A, V, etc. to speed up their corruption?
Qingming muttered to himself.

But Xiaolan and others who found him had already walked over.

"Qingming, why are you here?"

I also planned to go to Qingming after the things here are over, but I didn't expect to meet Qingming here.

Qingming turned around and found that it was Xiaolan and the others, and smiled again.

"Oh, just stroll around here, just come here."

To be precise, I came here by mistake.

Because I heard the voices of people here, I walked towards this side. Originally, I just planned to ask someone for directions.

But now, since Xiaolan and the others are here, and this place seems to be a public hall.

It seems that you should rest assured and wait, big JJ cute girl, you will see it sooner or later.

It's not that Qingming has any interest in the so-called big JJ cute girl, it's just to join in the fun.

After all, I have never seen what a so-called fake mother looks like before.

Of course, fake mothers are different from human demons.

When it comes to the monsters like people, basically you can only feel disgusted.

But when it comes to fake mothers, it seems that people can always show a "hehehe" smile.

This world is so weird.

In comparison, Qingming still likes real cute girls, not fake cute girls.

Although cute is the truth.

　Everyone, Happy Dragon Boat Festival
