Conan: Time stands still, supporting Xiaolan and rolling his eyes

Traveling through Tokyo, I obtained the time stop entry at the beginning. I wanted to use this ability to help myself reach the peak of my life, but due to some accidents.

The use of abilities is becoming increasingly abnormal.

Xiaolan: You…you…what did you do to me? ! Why is there blood…is this mine?

Huihara Ai: Pills…Give me back the pills. I am willing to do anything for them!

Kisaki Eri: Why did a strange thing suddenly appear in my mouth?

With a light snap of his fingers, a white butt appeared on the bed.

Stack them together and you have a delicious rice bowl!

“Three servings of rice bowls are far from enough…” Qin Mu snapped his fingers again, and the girls immediately panicked!

Conan: Time stands still, supporting Xiaolan and rolling his eyes
Chapter 1 Ah, Shirley
“Officer Megure, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first!”
“Brother Qin Mu, take care. Don’t forget to go record your statement tomorrow.” Officer Megure looked at the handsome young man with a smile on his face. He had successfully solved the case again today and could go home early.
Gao Mu’s face was full of admiration. He wondered when he would be able to have such reasoning ability, no, even if it was just the basics.
“Ah, Qin Mu. It’s raining so hard outside. It’s easy to catch a cold. Do you want me to drive you home?”
He had completely forgotten that he was driving a police car, using it to send someone home. Qin Mu was his second existence, the first being the Maori family.
But if not now, when? Maybe Qin Mu can teach me a trick, and I can show it in front of Officer Sato.
“No need to bother.” Qin Mu took out a white umbrella from somewhere, “Fortunately I was prepared.”
Before leaving, Qin Mu did not forget to say hello to Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro, and even squatted down and rubbed Conan’s head, “Conan must listen to Sister Xiaolan and don’t run around.”
Conan looked dead in the eyes and didn’t respond.
Qin Mu glanced at his watch. Time was running out. Today was a very important day.
Holding an umbrella, he left the scene.
Conan looked at the departing figure and gritted his teeth. Those were obviously his cases, but they were all snatched away by this Qin Mu. The most important thing was, why was Xiaolan looking at him with admiration?
I gritted my teeth, clenched my fists, and secretly swore in my heart that sooner or later, I would get back everything I lost!
Qin Mu was walking on the road alone. He had been in this world for many years. He was excited at first. After all, he was a time traveler. Facing a new world, how could he not be excited?
But after knowing this world, Qin Mu was stunned. This is the world of Detective Conan, and he still lives in Beika Town, known as Little Brother Tan. Plus there is a walking god of death. He might suddenly die at any time.
Rice flower stage, come if you are destined to.
But fortunately, as a time traveler, he successfully awakened the system, which at least gave him a means to survive.
I whispered in my mind, “System!”
A transparent panel appears in front of you.
The panel is also very simple.
【Host】Qin Mu
[Entries] Time stopped (color), There is only one truth (blue), Karate (purple), Handsome and cool (white)
(Entry levels: white, blue, purple, gold, red, colorful)
As long as your favorability with others increases and you become acquaintances, you can obtain entries from them. The better your relationship with them, the higher the level of the entries you can obtain from them.
At the same time, the registration of entries can also be improved. Karate can be improved as long as you persist in training every day, and there is only one truth, which requires solving the case. As the level increases, the possibility of discovering clues at the crime scene is higher, and the possibility of the other party crying and repenting will also increase.
The only colored one I have is the one I won in a lottery when I obtained the system, and it is also the one that has helped me the most.
You know, after traveling to this world, there are many cases that he has forgotten. In order to increase his popularity, Qin Mu always pauses time at the crime scene, checks the situation on the scene, and then recalls the story. This is why he can always solve the case before Conan.
The term “handsome and charming” was originally included when Qin Mu awakened the system, probably because he is so handsome.
As for “There is Only One Truth” and “Karate”, they were obtained from Conan and Xiaolan, but Qin Mu still coveted Xiaolan’s “Chosen One”. Xiaolan’s luck played a big part in why the Conan and Maori family often traveled, but her favorability was too low, so she couldn’t get this advanced entry, otherwise Qin Mu must get this entry.
And Inspector Megure’s favorability has also been improved. This is the easiest to do. As long as you help solve the case, your favorability will increase rapidly. Now everyone calls Qin Mu “Brother”.
But when I saw the entry about Inspector Megure, after thinking it over again and again, I decided to give up.
“Salted Fish” reduces all of your own stats and transfers them to your teammates who are helping you, waiting for the big guy to lead you, and the probability of the big guy appearing is 100%. Red entry.
No wonder Inspector Megure is protected by two generations of Yusaku, Shinichi, and Mori in turn. If he were playing as a farmer, he might be very useful. Unfortunately, there are no fun games in this world.
However, Kogoro Mori did not seem to relax his vigilance against himself, and for a while, his entry could not be obtained.
Just as Qin Mu was making plans for how to continue acquiring entries, a little girl appeared in front of him. She was wearing an extremely ill-fitting white coat and was walking with difficulty on the road in the rain.
“Ah, Shirley!”
I have been waiting for this day for a long time.
If other people saw Qin Mu’s expression, they would definitely call him a pervert.
The little girl was holding on to the wall, and suddenly she felt the rain stop above her head. She looked up and saw a handsome young man holding an umbrella to block the rain for her.
“Little sister, where are you going? It’s raining so hard, you’ll get sick easily. Come with me, I’ll help you find your family.”
With her wet hair blocking her eyes, Shirley said with some loss, “I don’t have any family anymore.”
Qin Mu knew of course, and he said with a little sadness: “Alas, me too, then I will take you home, maybe we can be companions, what’s your name?”
Shirley hadn’t finished her words before she could no longer hold on and fainted in Qin Mu’s arms.
Qin Mu picked up Huihara Ai and walked towards his home.
At this time, another person was also jogging along, trying to cover his head with his hands. He saw the white umbrella not far away and looked at his clothes that were almost soaked. He couldn’t help but say, “Too bad, I was in such a hurry to go out that I forgot to bring an umbrella.”
This person is none other than Dr. Agasa.
After Qin Mu brought the little girl home, he helped wipe her, changed her into clean clothes, and put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt.
Looking at the legal little loli lying there, Qin Mu had been waiting for a day for a long time.
Shirley, no, from now on you should call me Huibara Ai.
Ai Haibara and Dr. Agasa are simply god-like existences in the world of Detective Conan. One of them has all kinds of inventions, and it is said that all of Kaito’s things were provided by him. The other one, without complete experimental equipment and living experiments, was able to develop the antidote for APTX4869. Although the time for enlargement is limited, it is already very impressive.
Moreover, Haibara Ai’s top-notch intelligence makes her extremely powerful in solving cases and can be a great help to himself.

Chapter 2 This is the only chance
Qin Mu was leaning back on the sofa, comfortably watching the latest news to pass the time. Anyway, there was nothing else to deal with for the time being.
At this time, Shirley in the room had woken up. Looking at the unfamiliar room and the clothes she had never seen before, she felt a little sad.
“I wasn’t captured again, right? Then I should be in some secret base now?”
“What will happen next?”
“I should be the only known being that has shrunk as they discovered. Will I spend the rest of my life being studied like those little white mice?”
“Stop, stop now, don’t fight anymore…”
Um?
Listening to the noise coming from outside, Shirley knew that it must be the person who was watching over her who was watching TV outside.
When she thought about the possibility of spending the rest of her life under research, she knew that she had to do something and could not just sit there and wait for death.
Look around and search carefully.
After searching for a long time, I didn’t find anything useful. The only useful thing was the ashtray in Shirley’s hand.
Holding the ashtray, he walked to the door and prepared to gently open the door of the room, but after searching for a long time, he couldn’t find the door handle.
“…”
Shirley then realized that she had become smaller, and now the door handle was above her head…
He raised his hand, grabbed the door handle and gently pulled it down, making sure that the person’s back was facing away. Then he tiptoed with the ashtray in his hand and walked towards where Qin Mu was.
Qin Mu, who was watching TV, moved his ears a few times. Obviously, he had heard the noise coming from behind and realized that Shirley wanted to attack him. He did not practice karate in vain, so he sat there confidently, as if he knew nothing.
Shirley walked closer, looked at the back of the head so close to her, closed her eyes, and slammed the ashtray down.
“Time is paused.”
Qin Mu whispered something, and the TV screen stopped instantly.
He stood up and looked at Shirley, who was standing behind him holding an ashtray, with a playful smile on his face.
He took the ashtray down and placed it on the table, then held Shirley in his arms and sat back on the sofa. With a snap of his fingers, the time pause was canceled.
Shirley only felt the world spinning around her, and then she couldn’t move her whole body, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
“What happened just now?”
At this time, Qin Mu whispered in her ear: “Are you Miyano Shiho? Or Shirley from the Black Organization?”
The voice reached Shirley softly, but it sounded like the devil whispering in her ear.
“Who are you?”
Shirley was horrified. How could this person know her identity? After realizing her current situation, she tried to break free from Qin Mu’s arms.
But she forgot once again that her body was now the same size as that of an elementary school student. Before she became smaller, she might have had a chance, but now she simply did not have that much strength and it was just a futile struggle.
“Let me go!”
Qin Mu smiled and said directly, “From now on, you should be called Huiyuan Ai. After all, you have grown smaller, and it is not safe to use your previous name.”
As he spoke, he slowly loosened his hand, but Huihara Ai’s reaction was still very intense, so he had to control her again, “Why are you reacting so strongly?”
Haibara Ai resisted twice and was subdued twice. Finally, she realized the disparity in power and had to stop.
And she also realized that this person was not a member of the Black Organization. After all, people in the Black Organization definitely did not have such a good temper. As for whether he was a good person or a bad person, it remained to be verified. At present, he had no ill will towards her.
Qin Mu watched Huibara Ai finally stop, and then he let go of her hand again.
“Who are you and why do you know my name?” Haibara Ai couldn’t help but ask the doubts in her heart.
“Who am I? This question is really profound!” Qin Mu’s eyes were full of stories. “To put it simply, I am the same as you. We both have no relatives now. Let’s keep each other company in the future, Xiao Ai.”
Xiao Ai?
Who is that?
Oh, he named me Huihara Ai.
No, why should I accept it!
“My name is Miyano Shiho!” Haibara Ai emphasized. She didn’t want to admit the name Haibara Ai.
“I know.” Qin Mu said as a matter of course: “The names Huiyuan Ai and Miyano Shiho don’t conflict. You don’t want to go out under Miyano Shiho’s name, do you?”
“If you really use this name, Gin will appear in front of you with a gun in the next second, and then ‘Ah, Shirley!'”
Huiyuan Ai was full of question marks, “You know the name Gin, which means you definitely know him. You portray him as such, so aren’t you afraid that he will come after you with a gun?”
“What’s so scary about this?” Qin Mu is fearless. I have time to pause, do I need to be afraid?
When Haibara Ai thought of Gin’s face, she felt cold all over.
“Besides, you still have to go to school in the future. The name Huiyuan Ai will definitely save you a lot of trouble.”
“Go to school? Why should I go to school?” Huibara Ai was completely confused. I am a college student, so what is there to learn in an elementary school?
Qin Mu certainly knew what she was thinking, “I’m giving you a chance, a chance to observe the experimental target up close.”
After a pause, he prompted, “I’m sure you’re familiar with the name Kudo Shinichi.”
“You actually know Kudo Shinichi?” Haibara Ai blurted out subconsciously.
The scene when he saw the list before also emerged in his mind. His death certificate was confirmed by himself. At that time, he was sure that Kudo Shinichi was not dead. After all, all the childhood clothes in the entire villa disappeared. Wasn’t it telling others that he had become smaller? But how did he know this?
“How could I not know?” Qin Mu took out a newspaper, which happened to contain a report on Maori Kogoro, who helped a wealthy man named Cheng Peng solve a case.
“Kudo Shinichi has now become Conan. I happened to be there before, and he almost stuck the voice changer in my face. He also used Maori Kogoro’s voice to make inferences. Otherwise, how do you think the previously mediocre little detective suddenly became famous? It’s all because he was helping his father-in-law.”
However, everyone on the forum in the previous life was discussing the strength of Maori Kogoro. After all, whenever it came to his family, he always became smart, so Qin Mu still wanted to know his entry very much. Unfortunately, his favorability had not yet been raised.
“How is it?” Qin Mu’s voice was as instructive as a devil. “This is the only chance. If you miss it, you will really lose it.”
After thinking it over again and again, Haibara Ai decided to agree.

Chapter 3: What I Say (Old Version)
Chapter 3: What You Say
“By the way, are you going to leave me like this forever?”
Haibara Ai said in a low voice, with a hint of shyness in it. After all, she had never had such close contact with another boy since she was a child. The two of them were so close that they could feel each other’s warmth.
Moreover, she is a strong person. As this is their first meeting, she has not let down her guard against Qin Mu. His powerful strength makes her feel even more afraid.
Qin Mu also reacted, put her on the sofa, and looked her up and down, “It’s not a good idea to dress like this, wait a moment.”
He stood up and rummaged around in the closet, took out the measuring tape, and threw it next to Huihara Ai, “Go to the room and measure your size, I’ll go buy the clothes for you.”
After a while, Qin Mu got the size, recorded it with his mobile phone, and went out. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Huiyuan Ai, “I’ve locked the door, don’t run around.”
Haibara Ai ignored her and sat on the sofa, watching TV by herself.
Hearing the sound of the villa door being locked and making sure there was no noise outside, Huihara Ai immediately stood up, walked to the window, looked at Qin Mu’s departing back, and immediately took action.
When Qin Mu came back from buying clothes at a nearby mall, he found the living room empty. He searched several rooms but still could not find any sign of Huihara Ai. There was only a piece of cut clothes on the bed in his own room.
Qin Mu raised his eyebrows a few times. He thought that he wouldn’t slip away, as the doors and windows were all intact. He turned on the computer and pulled out the surveillance camera.
After confirming that he had come to the world of Detective Conan, Qin Mu installed surveillance cameras in his home, covering 360 degrees inside and outside the house to avoid any accidents.
After checking the surveillance footage and confirming that Haibara Ai did not leave the room, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she didn’t go out, it would be easy to find her.
He returned to his room, looked at the messy clothes on the bed, turned on [There is Only One Truth], and his own investigative ability increased rapidly. Clues gradually appeared in front of him.
The clothes looked like they had been cut, probably to make them smaller. Now they were just thrown here, and it was obvious that no needle or thread had been found to sew them. But how could there be needle and thread in his room?
Looking at the drawer next to it, it was not completely closed, so it must be the suspect… Bah, it must be that when Haibara Ai was looking for something, she happened to hear the sound of the door opening, so she didn’t have time to deal with the scene, and hid in a hurry.
…
After a series of analysis, Qin Mu successfully concluded that Haibara Ai did not leave the room and was hiding somewhere.
“Come out, I know you are definitely in this room. If I had really looked carefully, you would have been discovered long ago.”
Qin Mu stood there and said loudly, “Now I’ll give you a chance to come out on your own.”
His voice echoed in the spacious room. After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement.
“This is your last chance. If you don’t come out, I’ll catch you and you’ll get spanked.”
Still no movement.
Qin Mu shook his head helplessly. It was really troublesome that they had to play hide-and-seek.
I quickly came to the place where all the clues led me, a huge wardrobe. I opened it and saw many of my clothes piled inside.
If others think that the clothes are just piled a little messily, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, when girls put things away, they can put them neatly even if they are thrown randomly, while for boys, when they fold them neatly and put them together, they become unstacked again.
But in Qin Mu’s opinion, it was full of loopholes.
She picked up all her clothes and a little girl appeared in front of her. It was none other than Haibara Ai.
He casually placed his clothes on the chair next to him and looked at Huiyuan Ai who was squatting inside. “Didn’t you hear me talking just now?”
“What?” Haibara Ai raised her head, and the two looked at each other. Then she saw Qin Mu smiling playfully, and a bad premonition came over Haibara Ai’s heart.
“What do you think?”
After saying that, Qin Mu leaned over, stretched out his hand, and picked up Huihara Ai from the closet. There seemed to be something wrong with the way he picked her up.
Huiyuan Ai’s face changed. Hey, hey, why are you holding my waist? Why are you laying me flat? Before she could even open her mouth…
Next second.
“Bang!”
“Ah, you bastard!”
Huihara Ai beat Qin Mu’s knees desperately with her hands.
Qin Mu suppressed his smile and put Huiyuan Ai down again. “Well, now you understand the seriousness of the problem, right?”
“Are you crazy?” Huiyuan Ai had been put down, so she could only jump up and hit Qin Mu’s knee. “I am an adult after all, and you actually spanked me.”
“Do you think I’m kidding? I always keep my word.” Qin Mu shook his head. “And if I hadn’t been good at reasoning and noticed that you didn’t leave the room, I would have thought you were captured by Gin.”
“You are the chief scientist, you know so many secrets, and you suddenly disappeared from under Gin’s nose. There must be a lot of people looking for you.”
He knew that not only Gin Vodka was looking for him, but Shuichi Akai might also be looking for him.
Qin Mu took out the newspaper he bought on the road and said, “Look, the base you were in before has been destroyed by them, but they haven’t confirmed your death yet, so they will definitely continue to track you down, so you must be careful.”
Looking at the information in the newspaper, Huiyuan Ai widened her eyes, her focus was not on what Qin Mu said, “There is a lot of information in there. Without that, how can I research the antidote next?”
“Research the antidote?” Qin Mu asked back: “Why do you want to research the antidote?”
“You’re talking nonsense.” Huiyuan pouted, “I can’t always be like this, I must change back.”
Qin Mu persuaded, “What’s wrong with this? Even if you really find the antidote and change back, and then you are caught by Gin and killed, I don’t know what you are thinking.”
After hearing what Qin Mu said, Huiyuan Ai’s expression instantly froze. What he said made a lot of sense, but I still wanted to change back. After all, a child with a body size was no match for Qin Mu…
“Okay.” Qin Mu tapped Huiyuan Ai’s head. “The clothes I just bought for you are on the sofa in the living room. Hurry up and put them on to see if they fit you.”
Huibara Ai nodded and walked towards the living room.
“By the way, next time if you want to hide, you’ll be treated the same as today.”
Hearing the voice coming from behind, Huiyuan Ai’s face immediately turned red, and the speed of her feet increased again…
Chapter 4 Can this still be inherited? (Old version)
Chapter 4 Can this be inherited?
“Get out of here.” Huihara Ai came to the room with clothes and knew how to give orders to Qin Mu.
Qin Mu was just about to go out, but after taking a few steps, he immediately reacted.
No, this is my home.
He pushed Huihara Ai’s head and sent her out. “If you want to change clothes, go to the bathroom. There is a mirror there. You can see if the clothes fit you well.”
So stingy!
Huiyuan pouted, carrying the clothes Qin Mu bought for her, and went to the bathroom.
Qin Mu took this opportunity to tidy up the things in his room, folded his clothes and put them in the closet, and threw all the clothes that were cut into the trash can.
Looking at the clothes that were cut, I thought to myself, Haibara Ai is really good at choosing clothes. She just happened to choose one of her more expensive ones.
However, I couldn’t wear this dress anymore. Since it was the first expensive dress I bought in this world, I couldn’t bear to throw it away.
Qin Mu was cleaning the room when Huihara Ai happened to have just finished changing her clothes. The door of the room was pushed open, and she stretched her head out and looked at Qin Mu with a resentful look on her face.
“You are a little bit mentally ill. Why did you buy me clothes like that?”
Qin Mu chuckled, “What do you mean? I don’t quite understand. Come in quickly and let me see if it’s appropriate.”
Haibara Ai rolled her eyes at him, but still opened the door and showed herself wearing new clothes.
puff!
Qin Mu wanted to laugh, but he held it back.
A whole set of pink clothes is worn on Haibara Ai, making her look very pink and tender.
“Did you just laugh?”
Qin Mu waved his hands quickly, “I don’t have one.”
“You just laughed.”
“I really didn’t, but I have received professional training…” Qin Mu had a serious expression on his face, but he couldn’t help laughing, which seemed a little weird.
“You did it on purpose!” Huibara Ai gritted her teeth. She knew it.
“Hehe… Isn’t this quite suitable? It seems that my vision is not bad.” Qin Mu went over and touched Haibara Ai’s head. After all, in the anime, Haibara Ai always appeared in a mature and light style, but now she is wearing a whole set of pink, which gives her a different flavor.
“Bullshit!” Huibara angrily punched Qin Mu’s knee.
Qin Mu took out a few other clothes from his bag and handed them over. “Go ahead and take these clothes and try them on.”
Huiyuan Ai looked at Qin Mu with a bad face and snorted, “If these clothes are the same as the ones I’m wearing, you won’t be able to sleep tonight.”
After Qin Mu’s repeated assurances, Huihara Ai took the clothes and left.
When she came out again, Haibara Ai had changed her clothes again.
She was very satisfied with the clothes this time, which suited her style very well.
Just when Qin Mu asked her to turn around to see if the size was right, Haibara Ai’s stomach suddenly growled, which made Haibara Ai very embarrassed.
“Okay, go change into another one.”
Huihara Ai left again.
While Huihara Ai was changing clothes, Qin Mu went to the kitchen and made her a simple sandwich.
When Haibara Ai came out again, Qin Mu also called her to come over quickly.
“Eat quickly.” Qin Mu pushed the plate with the sandwich in front of Huiyuan Ai, “This is the peanut blueberry flavor you prefer.”
Peanut blueberry flavor?
Although she didn’t know how Qin Mu knew it, Huibara Ai was still moved and her eyes were a little moist for a moment.
From childhood to adulthood, my sister is the only one who knows very well what she likes and dislikes. Apart from her, almost no one cares about my feelings, let alone my preferences.
Since Huihara Ai didn’t move again, Qin Mu thought that Huihara Ai was worried that he would put something else in the sandwich. “You are hungry, right? Eat it quickly. This thing is not poisonous.”
Having said that, Qin Mu was ready to break it open for himself to prove his innocence.
Before she even got the sandwich, Huihara Ai grabbed it and took a bite without hesitation. After finishing the bite, she was silent for a moment and said, “Thank you.”
Watching Huiyuan Ai start eating, Qin Mu laughed, “There’s nothing to thank me for.”
After finishing her meal, Huibara Ai sat on the sofa with Qin Mu and watched the latest news on TV.
Leaning on the sofa, Haibara Ai felt a sense of comfort. She hadn’t been so relaxed for a long time, especially after leaving the Black Organization. She actually had no idea about life anymore. Before leaving, she lived in fear, not knowing when Gin’s gun would be pointed at her.
After the news ended, they started watching TV series together and chatted about random things.
Huihara Ai even asked the question buried in her heart, “Hey, why did you save me before? You should know that I am being hunted by the Black Organization. They will never give up before they see my body. If they find out that you saved me, you may also be in danger of your life.”
Qin Mu’s expression was very calm. There was no need to be scared for a winery that was almost entirely staffed by undercover agents. Maybe Gin was also an undercover agent.
What’s more, the doctor could hide Haibara Ai so well, so why should I hide myself? Plus, I have a system and I keep accumulating my own entries. Even if the winery finds out later, they can’t do anything to me.
“You ran to Kudo Shinji’s house, weren’t you expecting him to save you?”
“That’s different.” Huiyuan Ai retorted: “We are both in the same boat, there is no need for you to wade into this muddy water.”
So that’s what I was worried about.
Qin Mu smiled slightly, “I forgot to introduce myself to you. I am the Sherlock Holmes of the new Heisei era after Kudo Shinichi disappeared! But I have no interest in the Black Organization. I will not offend others unless they offend me. If they really want to provoke me, I will definitely not let them have an easy time!”
I rubbed Haibara Ai’s head again. It felt very nice, but I wonder if Haibara Ai will become bald in the future.
“Oh!”
Hearing Qin Mu’s confident speech, Huihara Ai rolled her eyes. Although she didn’t know how she was subdued by Qin Mu when she was about to launch a sneak attack on him, she still expressed her distrust of Qin Mu’s ability to fight against the Black Organization.
“Don’t be careless. If you are discovered, you might be killed before you even notice anyone.”
“Impossible. I am the new Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era. I will definitely find it.”
“How come I didn’t know that the title of Sherlock Holmes in this Heisei era can still be inherited? Even if it can, doesn’t that mean you are a generation lower than Kudo Shinichi?”
Qin Mu pretended to be angry, “What are you talking about? How can I be lower than him? If you keep talking nonsense, I will spank you!!!”
“Tsk, threatening me again.” Huibara pouted her lips, showing her disdain.
Chapter 5: Feels Real (Old Version)
Chapter 5: It feels really real
After a burst of laughter, Qin Mu saw that it was getting late, so he turned off the TV. “Although tomorrow is the weekend, children can’t sleep too late. I will take you to handle the enrollment procedures then.”
Admission?
Haibara Ai’s expression froze. She didn’t expect this day to come so soon.
However, being able to observe Kudo Shinichi up close is also a very good situation and can be barely accepted.
When she came to her senses again, she saw Qin Mu had returned to his room.
Huiyuan Ai’s face changed, and she trotted to Qin Mu’s side, grabbed his hand, and tried to pull him up, “Get up, let me sleep in the room, and you go to the sofa outside.”
Qin Mu lives alone. In order to save some money, he bought a one-bedroom apartment, so those who don’t have a bed can only sleep on the sofa.
Unfortunately, Huibara Ai was too weak now and couldn’t pull Qin Mu up from the bed.
Qin Mu said as a matter of course: “This is my house, so you go sleep on the sofa and let me sleep on the water bed. It would be very uncomfortable for me to sleep on the sofa, and I would be afraid of falling off if I turned over. But you are just the right one, so it’s settled. Go to bed quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow.”
“Get up.” Haibara Ai was still trying, but it was all in vain. In the end, she couldn’t get up, so she could only return to the living room alone and sleep on the sofa.
Before going to bed, I pulled all the curtains tightly shut.
However, even after discussing with Qin Mu, Qin Mu made it clear that he was not afraid of the Black Organization at all, Haibara Ai was still worried about the organization’s retaliation. After all, she had been in the organization for so many years, and the various methods of the Black Organization left a deep impression on her, especially the way Gin dealt with traitors.
Even though she had done enough preparations before going to bed, Haibara Ai still felt frightened by the pitch-black environment around her while lying on the sofa. She also always felt like there was a pair of eyes outside the window watching her. She felt very insecure, and as soon as she closed her eyes, the scene of Gin killing people would appear in her mind.
In the darkness, Haibara Ai sneaked into the room holding a blanket and climbed onto the bed silently.
However, Qin Mu was already used to sleeping alone, and his sleeping posture was not very good. He turned over and his arm fell on Huihara Ai’s body, trapping him and making him unable to move.
Listening to the natural breathing sound, Huihara Ai loosened her clenched fists again. If Qin Mu hadn’t fallen asleep, she would have really wanted to punch Qin Mu.
Closing her eyes and feeling the warmth of Qin Mu’s arm, Huihara Ai gradually relaxed.
This feeling seems to be pretty good.
I fell asleep in a daze.
The next morning, when Qin Mu opened his eyes again, he met Huihara Ai’s eyes.
Am I not awake yet? Why is Haibara Ai here?
Qin Mu pinched Huihara Ai’s face.
Hmm, this feeling is quite real, but my arm seems a little numb. Can my arms get numb in dreams?
Huihara Ai lay there, unable to bear it any longer, and beat Qin Mu with her claws and teeth.
You actually dared to pinch my face. It’s not enough to pinch it once, but you pinched it twice. I’m going to beat you to death today.
Feeling the slight pain in his body, Qin Mu woke up instantly. Oh my god, this is not a dream.
He quickly let go of Haibara Ai, and sat up immediately. He was about to ask Haibara Ai why she was here, but then he reacted.
According to his guess, a large part of the reason might be that he was worried about the Black Organization, so he felt unsafe sleeping alone, so he came to sleep with him.
Qin Mu stood up awkwardly and quickly put on his clothes. “Um, good morning. How did you sleep last night?”
“Thanks to you, I slept well last night.” This was Huihara Ai’s answer from the bottom of her heart. After all, if it weren’t for Qin Mu, she would really feel insecure. She might have been worried all night, and sleeping would have been impossible.
However, Qin Mu misunderstood and thought Huiyuan Ai was complaining about her poor sleeping posture, which caused her to not sleep well all night. He said apologetically, “Then you sleep a little longer. I’ll go prepare breakfast.”
After saying that, Qin Mu left quickly, closed the door of the room, leaned against the door, and then patted his wildly beating heart. It was really embarrassing. When he woke up, he actually slept with Haibara Ai. Although the other party was a legal little loli, she was still a little loli.
Let’s go cook first.
When Qin Mu brought breakfast out of the kitchen, Huihara Ai had already washed up and was sitting at the dining table.
He placed her portion in front of her, and the two of them began to eat with big mouthfuls.
“Oh, right.” Qin Mu blinked. “Xiao Ai, when you were in the Black Organization, didn’t you have any savings?”
“What?”
Hearing his question, Huihara Ai instantly became alert, and for a moment she thought that Qin Mu wanted to steal her things.
“Nothing.”
Qin Mu rubbed his hands and said, “I feel that you need a computer to look up information. You can’t do without it. You see, I’m just a high school student now. I don’t get any reward for helping the police solve the case.”
This was the rhetoric that Qin Mu had come up with when they were in the kitchen. He wanted to take this opportunity to develop Ai’s functions. However, he did need to buy a computer, and it was true that he had no money. It was just that when Haibara Ai was not using it, he could play with it himself.
After hearing what Qin Mu said, Huibara Ai felt that it made a lot of sense. Helplessly, she could only nod and take out her family assets.
“There are some. When I received the organization’s reward, I asked my sister to use special means to transfer some money to a playing account.”
This money is very important to Huiyuan Ai, which is one of the reasons why she dared to escape from the organization. However, she did not completely trust Qin Mu yet, so she emphasized: “You can buy a computer. You go and choose it, and I will pay for it.”
All I can say is that Qin Mu guessed right. He wasn’t quite sure before, but he didn’t expect to get the answer as soon as he asked.
“Thank you for your generosity, little rich lady!”
Qin Mu acted very exaggeratedly and funny, which made Huibara Ai speechless.
Qin Mu quickly selected the computer and brought it to Huihara Ai.
Haibara Ai made the payment carefully and did not reveal her card number and password to anyone without Qin Mu’s knowledge.
Seeing Haibara Ai being so cautious, as if she was guarding against a thief, Qin Mu shook his head.
After Haibara Ai successfully placed the order, Qin Mu specially made a sandwich with her favorite peanut and blueberry flavor.
Qin Mu then agreed with the other party on a time to come and install the device, and Huihara Ai went to eat.
After dinner, the deal was done and Qin Mu took Huihara Ai out.
Feilu novel, Fei will make you look good!
Chapter 6 The Old Principal’s Prank (Old Version)
Chapter 6 The Old Principal’s Prank
Led by Qin Mu, the two came to Didan Primary School.
Come to think of it, the pronunciation of Teitan is teitan, and if you adjust the order of the two words, it becomes tantei, which is the pronunciation of detective.
The reason for this is most likely that the old thief Qingshan did it on purpose, and Teidan is quite famous in this world. It not only has Teidan Elementary School, but also high schools and universities.
Qin Mu is a student in Class B, Grade 2 of Teitan High School, and is in the same class as Xiaolan and others. He just came here today to find the principal of Teitan Elementary School and arrange school arrangements for Haibara Ai.
The possibility of a normal person meeting the principal is very low, but Qin Mu can see him directly, thanks to Kudo Shinichi. After he became small, Qin Mu, as the new savior of the Neon police, must be very famous. In addition, he had also seen the principal when he was a child at Teitan Elementary School.
Qin Mu and his companion went straight to the office of the principal of the elementary school. The principal was a kind old man named Uematsu Ryujiro, with very long eyebrows and beard, who always left a deep impression on others.
At the same time, the old principal is young at heart and often plays pranks.
After asking Qin Mu to sit down, he began to ask about his purpose. Qin Mu did not hide anything and told him directly.
The old man nodded and said, “This is easy to handle. Just go through the admission procedures. By the way, there seems to be a note under your chair.”
Could this be another prank?
Qin Mu directly used time pause to check the situation under the chair. There was no note underneath, only a wig.
It was really laughable, and it reminded Qin Mu of something. The Dean of Academic Affairs lost his wig and didn’t dare to come to school for several days. He almost thought the person was missing. This was the old man’s prank. He didn’t expect that the Dean of Academic Affairs didn’t learn a lesson from the last incident and it was lost again.
After the time paused, Qin Mu shook his head helplessly, “The Dean of Academic Affairs’ wig is here. Could it be that he didn’t come to school again?”
The old man understood what I meant and laughed, “You haven’t seen it yet, how do you know? Moreover, how did you guess it was mine?”
“First of all, this is your office, so you are the most likely suspect if something appears here.” Qin Mu analyzed the situation in a serious manner. “The most important thing is, don’t you like doing this kind of thing the most?”
The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Afterwards, under the guidance of the old man, Haibara Ai’s admission procedures were quickly completed.
At Qin Mu’s request, the old man arranged Haibara Ai in Class B of the first grade of Teitan Elementary School. However, it is not known when Haibara Ai will be promoted to the second grade.
After everything was settled, the two of them said goodbye to the old man.
On the way back, Huiyuan Ai asked: “How do you know Conan is in that class?”
“That must be due to my clever brain. Nothing can be hidden from me.” At this point, Qin Mu also remembered what he should tell Huiyuan Ai. “Remember, after you enter school, someone named Ayumi will definitely invite you to join their small group. Just agree directly.”
Small group?
I don’t know how Qin Mu knew about the invitation from that girl named Ayumi, but why did I want to join the small group? I went there to study the experimental subjects up close.
Seeing the confusion in Huiyuan Ai’s heart, Qin Mu answered directly: “You have to know that you are going to school, and you must get along well with others, otherwise it is easy to be isolated. Conan has also joined the school. After you join, won’t it be more legitimate for you to do research?”
Makes sense!
Huihara Ai nodded, not quite understanding, “So when I meet Conan, do I need to tell him everything?”
“No need.” Qin Mu shook his head. “Kudo Shinichi has his own sense of justice in his heart. If you tell him everything, what if he suspects that we were arranged by the Black Organization to get close to him?”
“Even if he really trusts us, given his impulsive personality, what if he asks us to take him directly to the Black Organization? Should we go or not?”
“So you must keep my situation a secret from him, and don’t agree to anything he asks of you.”
After repeated reminders, Haibara Ai nodded, indicating that she understood.
Qin Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn’t want to wake up every morning and see Conan standing in front of his bed, asking him to accompany him to find the Black Organization.
I wanted to quietly brush up on my entries and then make plans. I am a relatively lazy person. Just like what I said to Haibara Ai before, as long as the Black Organization does not come to provoke me, I am too lazy to pay attention to them.
While Haibara Ai and Qin Mu were walking on the road, they received a call from Amazon customer service. The other party had already prepared everything, and as long as they arranged a free time for Qin Mu, they would send someone to install it.
Qin Mu had plenty of free time, so he asked the other party to come over and start the installation right away.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Mu was a little surprised. “The speed is quite fast. It’s expensive for a reason.”
Ai Huihara rolled her eyes at him. She felt that it was natural. Shouldn’t it be this fast? She forgot that when she was in the Black Organization, not only did they need equipment and funds quickly, but they also needed “guinea pigs” very quickly. After all, it was a no-cost business. If they needed them, they could just grab them directly, which didn’t take much time.
After the two people returned home, Amazon arrived at the agreed time. A large group of people carried things and installed the computer in the room.
Qin Mu had played with computers a lot in his previous life, and he had some understanding of computer configurations. He was also a little familiar with antique computers, but when he looked at the computer in front of him, he was at a loss for a moment. This could no longer be called an antique computer, it was completely a thing from ancient times.
Fortunately, although Qin Mu doesn’t know how to do it, there is still a big boss at home.
When Huibara Ai found out that Qin Mu didn’t know how to use this computer, she rolled her eyes.
Qin Mu pretended not to see it, “This is the computer for you, you are responsible for fixing it.”
Haibara Ai sat in front of the computer and started operating it, but after a while, she stopped.
“Is it done?” Qin Mu asked.
Huiyuan Ai turned her head and asked, “Where’s the network cable?”
Forehead?
Qin Mu scratched the back of his head. He had really forgotten about this.
I quickly took out my phone and asked the contact person to come over and pull the network cable.
Chapter 7 New Case (Old Version)
Chapter 7 New Case
Not long after, the guy who pulled the network cable came and solved the problem. The computer was connected to the Internet and could be used normally.
Haibara Ai, who had been away from the computer for a long time, focused all her attention on the computer and began to log into her various private accounts. The organization was not aware of these, after all, she was worried that she would be tracked down by the organization after logging in.
When logging into her account, she would turn her head to peek at Qin Mu from time to time, worried that he would come over and see the message.
It’s a pity that she was worrying too much. Qin Mu sat alone on the sofa, watching TV quietly, without any intention of that kind. If it was true, the time pause on him was no joke, and it could be done without anyone noticing. He didn’t do that, as people always have to keep some privacy.
Besides, Huiyuan Ai was an 18-year-old genius girl. He might not be able to understand the information he was looking at, and she might even take the opportunity to ridicule him. He would not make trouble for himself.
If Huiyuan Ai wanted to research the antidote herself, with Qin Mu’s current financial resources, it would be difficult to help her solve the equipment problem. Making money in the Conan world is as difficult as fighting against the technological warrior Conan.
So Qin Mu has now chosen to lie down and not think about making money. It is better to lie down and wait for the big guy to lead him. Huibara Ai will definitely find a way to make money.
In this way, Qin Mu was watching TV programs outside, while Huihara Ai was looking at the computer inside, searching for the information she needed. Before time passed, it was already very late.
Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Qin Mu finally got up, turned off the TV, and planned to go to the convenience store to see if he could buy something to eat.
Seeing that Huiyuan Ai was still absorbed in looking at the computer, Qin Mu did not choose to go over. Instead, he knocked on the door to remind Huiyuan Ai, “I’m going to the convenience store to buy something to eat. Do you need me to bring you anything?”
Without even turning her head, Huihara Ai replied, “Sandwich, peanut and blueberry flavor.”
Qin Mu rejected it directly, “No, I thought it was not good to eat sandwiches all the time, so I wanted to change to something else. But you wanted to eat sandwiches, so the Royal Army… Then didn’t I go to the convenience store for nothing?”
Huihara Ai didn’t have any idea what to eat, “Then whatever.”
“Okay.” Qin Mu shrugged, so casual.
When he came out of the room, it was wet outside. It had just rained and it had not stopped for long. Qin Mu decided to bring an umbrella with him. In case it rained again, it would be difficult for him to come back. After all, he didn’t like the feeling of his clothes being soaked.
Qin Mu closed the door and made sure that no one was watching before setting off.
This time he did not lock the door of the room. He and Haibara Ai had already established some trust, so he would not think of leaving secretly like before. He just needed to be careful not to let others notice Haibara Ai’s abnormality.
When he arrived at the convenience store, Qin Mu simply bought two bento boxes and also bought a set of toiletries specifically for Haibara Ai before going back.
When I got home, I called Haibara Ai out of her room and they had dinner together.
Qin Mu ate very quickly, put the bowl and chopsticks directly on the table, and instructed: “After you finish eating, remember to clean up the table and these bowls and chopsticks.”
“Why should I clean up?” Huiyuan Ai was puzzled. “Shouldn’t you adults be responsible for cleaning up?”
grown ups?
Qin Mu was speechless for a while, “No, sister, you really think of yourself as a child, we are the same age.”
“I don’t care. I won’t wash. I have things to do later.” Huibara Ai doesn’t care about that.
“Who told you to eat so slowly?” Qin Mu immediately announced, “This is the rule here. Whoever eats slowly will clean up.”
“You didn’t tell me before, so it doesn’t count now. Starting from tomorrow, you have to clean up today.”
“Why doesn’t today count…”
Just as the two were debating about who should clean up the dishes, a phone call came in. Both of them stopped at the same time and looked at the phone.
Qin Mu, who was closest to her, picked up the phone. Huihara Ai looked at her nervously, fearing that the organization would discover her hiding place and call to threaten Qin Mu.
“Understood! Understood! I’ll be there right now!”
Just as I put the phone back, Huiyuan Ai asked anxiously, “Who is it?”
Qin Mu knew what Huiyuan Ai was worried about. He patted her head and comforted her, “Don’t worry, it’s not the Black Organization, but Officer Megure.”
Although Ai Huihara didn’t know who Officer Megure was, she still warned him, “There’s someone in the organization who’s good at voice changing and appearance changing. Don’t let your guard down. It could be someone pretending to be you.”
As for Vermouth, Qin Mu certainly knew about it. It was rumored that there was a conflict between Vermouth and Haibara Ai, and they didn’t get along with each other. He wanted to ask about it, but after thinking about it, he gave up. Maybe it was Haibara Ai’s pain point.
“No, you can tell from the name Inspector Megure that he is a police officer. The Black Organization will not attack police officers casually. If you are not careful, you may get into trouble.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Mu regretted it. He thought that he was a little too confident in what he said. Later on, the Black Organization actually kidnapped a policeman.
Huihara Ai nodded and believed Qin Mu’s judgment.
Qin Mu stood up and put on his coat. He was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and invited Huiyuan Ai, “How about going to the place where the case happened together?”
Huiyuan Ai had a blank expression on her face and decisively refused, “No, I’m not interested in cases like this. I’d better continue to look for my information.”
Having said that, he walked towards the room.
Qin Mu decisively dropped a bombshell, “Don’t you have any interest in Kudo Shinichi? You know, he must be very interested in murder cases. You will definitely meet him then.”
As soon as these words came out, Huiyuan Ai’s heartstrings were really touched. She immediately changed direction and picked up her coat from the sofa. “It’s not impossible.”
After all, Conan was the first one to shrink after taking the drug. It was difficult to conduct experiments in Qin Mu’s one-bedroom apartment, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t take a close look at Conan, the best experimental subject.
Qin Mu looked at Huiyuan Ai with a half-smile, “Aren’t you not going?”
Huiyuan jumped up angrily and punched Qin Mu’s knee, “Hurry up, are you going to leave or not?”
“Let’s go, we’ll definitely leave, and leave now.”
Seeing that it was still raining outside, he took an umbrella, took Haibara Ai out, hailed a taxi and headed towards his destination.
Chapter 8: What a cute little girl (old version)
Chapter 8 What a cute little girl
Sitting in the taxi, Huihara Ai did not appreciate the scenery outside the window, but kept looking at Qin Mu who was sitting next to her with his eyes closed.
She was indeed very interested in Kudo Shinichi, but she was most interested in Qin Mu.
During the time they spent together, she could not see through Qin Mu at all. Qin Mu gave her a very mysterious feeling, and he had the confidence that he could see through the overall situation.
Especially when talking about the Black Organization, Qin Mu’s words didn’t seem to be a joke. She had observed that Qin Mu really didn’t seem to take the Black Organization seriously. Could it be that he had something in his hands that even the Black Organization was afraid of?
Before she could figure out what it was, the taxi stopped and said, “We’ve arrived at Dongdu Sky Apartment.”
Qin Mu opened his eyes, paid the money, and walked down with Huihara Ai to the crime scene.
Officer Megure greeted him with a smile, “Brother Qin Mu, you are here.”
Maori Kogoro next to him was a little indignant, “I thought you were calling someone, why did you call this guy over? Are you worried that I, the famous Maori Kogoro, can’t help you solve the case?”
Conan, who was looking for clues next to the corpse, looked up when he heard the voice. The moment he saw Qin Mu, his eyes widened.
No wonder Inspector Megure had a very confident expression after he finished the phone call just now, as if he already knew who the murderer was.
Humph, today I, the previous Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, will definitely not lose to you again. I became full of fighting spirit and began to look for clues carefully.
Xiaolan covered her mouth and laughed when she saw Conan’s actions. She thought Conan wanted to prove himself and then ask Qin Mu to accept him as his apprentice. After all, Conan also liked solving cases very much.
Xiaolan also greeted Qin Mu with a smile on her face, “Brother Qin Mu, you are here. I believe the case will be solved soon. I really want to see who is more powerful between you and Shinichi. The last time Shinichi called me, he mentioned you.”
Conan suddenly felt a chill on his back.
“Really? But I will definitely lose to him. Let him come at me.” Qin Mu responded with a smile.
“Tsk.” Kogoro Maori was a little dissatisfied. She was obviously his daughter, but she was full of confidence in others. What’s more, his old father was still here, and she was chatting so happily with Qin Mu. What if she took his cabbage away?
“Okay, okay, this is the crime scene.” Maori Kogoro said, “If there is anything, wait until it’s resolved. Xiaolan, next time that brat calls, let him and Qin Mu talk to each other. Why are you acting as a messenger?”
“Huh?”
Xiaolan also realized that this was the crime scene and nodded apologetically, but she found Huiyuan Ai behind Qin Mu. She squatted down and looked curiously, “This little girl is so cute, Qin Mu, who is this?”
That really hits the point.
Qin Mu found Conan who was searching for clues, ignored his resistance, and directly dragged him over, then began to introduce Haibara Ai.
But of course he couldn’t tell the actual situation, so he just brought out the words he had prepared long ago.
“This is Huihara Ai, a distant relative of mine. To be honest, when she came to my house, she came alone, which really surprised me. Also, I made special arrangements for her school today. Children can’t miss school. Even if she goes to Teitan Elementary School, it will be more convenient for me to pick her up.”
“It’s so pitiful. The parents are so irresponsible. How can they let a child live alone with relatives?”
After hearing Qin Mu’s words, Xiaolan was overwhelmed with sympathy and wanted to hug Huibara Ai to comfort her, but Huibara Ai pretended to be scared and hid beside Qin Mu’s legs.
Qin Mu’s plan was very successful. It directed everyone’s attention to the pitiful situation of Huibara Ai, and made them forget that Qin Mu was an orphan. Even if they really remembered it, the worst that could happen was that they would find an excuse.
Xiaolan pushed Conan over and smiled gently, trying to leave a good impression on the poor child Huihara Ai. “Our Conan also goes to Teitan Elementary School. If you have any questions, you can find Conan.”
Qin Mu rubbed Huiyuan Ai’s head and said, “I think so too. If I have acquaintances, at least I won’t be so lonely at school. If I need to solve a case in the future, I may need Xiaolan to help me pick up Xiaoai.”
“Of course!” Xiaolan agreed directly. Maori Kogoro next to her was thinking that his house was not a nursery, so why had so many children? However, Xiaolan had the final say in the Maori family, and no one dared to say anything as long as she agreed.
Qin Mu pointed at Conan again, “This is the Conan I told you about before. He is temporarily living in the Maori family. Every day he can learn the skills of solving cases from the great detective Maori Kogoro.”
When Maori Kogoro heard Qin Mu say that he was a great detective, all the dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared, and he immediately became complacent, rubbing the back of his head and laughing, “No, no, you say I’m a great detective, and you, Qin Mu, are not bad either, hahahaha.”
Haibara Ai stood there and stared at Conan, which made Conan feel a little uneasy, as if he was seen through. But when he noticed it was Haibara Ai, he felt it was just an illusion.
Why is this little girl looking at me all the time?
Haibara Ai is worthy of being an award-winning actor. She was so afraid of strangers that even Conan was fooled by her.
Xiaolan smiled and said, “Xiaoai, do you want to go play with Conan?”
Conan’s face suddenly changed. If he went to play with the little girl, wouldn’t he be unable to find clues? Then how could he find the murderer faster than Qin Mu this time?
Before Huiyuan Ai could speak, Conan hurriedly said innocently: “But I still want to help my uncle find more clues. How can I have time to take care of my little sister? I want to be a great detective like brother Qin Mu.”
Seeing her acting like a spoiled brat made Qin Mu and Huihara Ai feel sick. She was already an adult, yet she was still acting like a spoiled brat.
Maori Kogoro punched Conan on the head, leaving a big bump, “Don’t run around at the scene, kid. What if you destroy the evidence at the scene?”
But the second half of the sentence was not said. You are with me every day, so why can’t you become a great detective like me? Why do you have to be like Qin Mu? It’s really outrageous.
It’s a pity that Conan doesn’t know what Maori Kogoro is thinking. If he knew, he would definitely complain. Don’t you know how you got your fame? Don’t you want to think about why you can’t remember the details every time you solve a case…
Chapter 9: The Doom of the World (Old Version)
Chapter 9: The Doom of the World
Officer Megure came over, called the coroner over, and told Qin Mu what they had found.
“The deceased drank poisoned coffee and died of poisoning. The time of death should be around 6:30.”
Qin Mu nodded after listening to this. He had no idea how forensic doctors were trained. Every time they conducted an examination, they could only provide the time and cause of death, which was pitifully little.
Officer Megure continued, “As for the discovery, it was Mr. Somei Shogo and Maori Kogoro who found it together. They were filming an interview program at the time. When they came, they found that no one answered the door. After borrowing tools from the management, they broke into the room and found that the TV producer Nakame Raisaku had been poisoned to death.”
“According to his colleague Somei Shogo, Nakame Raisaku had been saying that he didn’t want to live any longer. Plus, there was only one cup at the scene, and it was a closed room. Our preliminary judgment is that it was most likely suicide.”
Qin Mu complained in his heart, this is the Conan world, the chance of suicide is pitifully low, especially in a closed room, so this is most likely a closed room murder.
“By the way, how is Mr. Maori involved in this matter?”
Maori Kogoro smiled a little embarrassedly, “Because they want to make a “Detective 24 Hours”, so they invited me to come and discuss it with them, and then I encountered this kind of thing again.”
Qin Mu laughed secretly, “Mr. Mao Li is really the incarnation of the god of death. Wherever he goes, people will die.”
Inspector Megure also looked at Maori Kogoro with a resentful look on his face, “Maori, the probability of you encountering a murder case is indeed a bit high. If I didn’t know that you would not do such a thing, I would really think that you were a doom walking in the world, or a murderer with extremely high skills who enjoys committing crimes.”
It’s all Maori’s fault. There are just too many cases during this period, and I’m so exhausted that I’m often disliked by Xiaolu. It must be because of Maori.
“Hahaha, how is that possible.” Maori Kogoro was not ashamed, but proud. “It’s not me who brought bad luck, but the case called me.”
Maori Kogoro continued, “For example, today, if Somei Shogo and Kuzumi Maiko hadn’t invited me here, I wouldn’t even know this Nakame Yorisaku.”
This sentence was just as Qin Mu predicted. Maori Kogoro didn’t know the deceased at all. However, there were two people in total, but only Somei Shogo was here. What about the other person?
Qin Mu said: “Mr. Somei Shogo, I don’t know why I haven’t seen Ms. Kusumi Maiko.”
Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mori also reacted and cast their gazes on Somei Shogo, their eyes full of questions.
Maori Kogoro even said: “Yes, I don’t think I saw it since you picked me up.”
“Ah!” Somei Shogo’s face suddenly changed, and he immediately covered it up, “I really don’t know about this. I’ll call and ask.”
Qin Mu said directly: “I can confirm that this murder was committed by one of Somei Shogo and Kuzumi Maiko, and Mr. Maori should be innocent and was accidentally implicated. It is more likely that he wanted to use Mr. Maori’s fame to get rid of his suspicion.”
“As expected of you, Brother Qin Mu. You spotted the problem right away.” Officer Megure’s eyes lit up.
Under everyone’s gaze, Somei Shogo called Kuzumi Maiko, but no one answered the call after a long time. “Maybe she has something to do and didn’t answer.”
Officer Megure said, “Please tell me your alibi.”
Somei Shogo quickly said, “I am absolutely innocent. I have not been feeling well recently, so I asked for leave from the company to go home and rest. At about 6:30, I received a call from Mr. Maori, and then I remembered that I had an appointment with Mr. Nakame at 7 o’clock.”
Maori Kogoro roared, “I said I waited for a long time, but I didn’t see you coming, and you actually said you forgot!!!”
Somei Shogo looked apologetic and apologized repeatedly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Mori.”
At this moment, Conan walked towards the dining table and was about to say something while holding the coffee tray. Qin Mu walked over, picked him up, and said, “Conan, everyone is busy, don’t run around.”
As he said this, he placed Conan next to Kogoro Mouri’s legs.
Haibara Ai also noticed something was wrong and planned to go over to check the condition of the coffee tray.
Just as Conan was about to tell others about his discovery, a fist gently landed on his head. When he looked up, it was none other than Mouri Kogoro.
Conan smiled awkwardly, “Uncle Maori!”
Maori Kogoro didn’t waste any time talking to him, “Ultimate move!”
The fist quickly moved downward.
“Ahhh…”
Conan’s screams were endless. Qin Mu stood beside him and laughed secretly. Why do you think I put you next to Mouri Kogoro? Hahaha.
Ai Huihara stood on a chair and picked up the plate. “Look, there’s something wrong with the mark under the coffee plate. Generally speaking, after the coffee flows out, there should be a circular mark on the bottom of the plate. But now there is no circular mark on the table. Instead, it looks like a mark left by coffee, and the coffee plate looks like someone put it there from behind.”
As soon as Haibara Ai’s voice came out, everyone’s attention was focused on her.
Xiaolan Lianlian praised, “Xiaoai is really amazing. She noticed that something was wrong right away.”
Gao Mu even smiled beside him: “As expected of Mr. Qin Mu. Although he is very young, his reasoning ability is really amazing.”
Conan rolled his eyes and covered the bump on his head. It was obviously me who discovered the problem first, but she just got there first. The most important thing is, why is it that every time I look for evidence at the crime scene, I am accused of making trouble, being in the way, and even getting beaten by my uncle?
When this little girl looks for evidence, she will be said to be very good and even praised. Is it because she is cute that she gets it?
Qin Mu nodded and said, “Then can you tell me who was the first to discover the crime scene? After all, the first person is a very strong suspect.”
“I know.” Conan raised his hand and volunteered, “After we used the pliers to cut the anti-theft chain, Mr. Somei Shogo arrived at the living room first. He also asked my uncle to check the study. When Xiaolan and I were at the entrance, we heard Mr. Somei Shogo’s shouts. We rushed over and found Mr. Nakame Raisaku lying on the ground, not breathing.”
Qin Mu said he understood. “As the first person to arrive at the scene, Mr. Somei Shogo, do you have anything to say?”
Chapter 10 Exclusion of Joint Actions (Old Version)
Chapter 10: Exclusion of Joint Actions
After hearing what Qin Mu said, Maori Kogoro realized something instantly, and walked directly to Somei Shogo and asked, “Tell me, the reason you asked me to go to the study at that time was to cover up some traces.”
Xiaolan also noticed something and was a little bit unbelieving, “So you invited my father to come to the show just to get rid of your suspicion? How could there be such a person? And I think Mr. Somei Shogo and Ms. Kuzumi Maiko are a good match, they are both good people!”
Qin Mu shook his head in his heart. He would find out later that many people invited Maori Kogoro over just to use his reputation to create their own alibi and get rid of suspicion.
Then I heard Maori Kogoro continue to question, “So what you said before that you forgot the agreement with me must be false. Were you at the crime scene at that time?”
Officer Megure also had a serious look on his face. “Mr. Somei Shogo, when you asked for leave to go back and rest, was there anyone who could give you proof that you had not been here?”
“This…” Under the questioning of everyone, Somei Shogo lowered his head.
Just as Officer Gao Mu was about to step forward to arrest him, Qin Mu’s voice rang out again, “It shouldn’t be him.”
Everyone looked over and saw Qin Mu standing in front of the entrance, pointing at the door. “The anti-theft chain on this door is hung up, and it can only be hung from the inside. I checked it carefully and it was hung from the inside. There is no trick. If Somei Shogo is really the murderer, then he can’t get out after killing someone.”
Everyone’s expression suddenly changed, and Inspector Megure expressed everyone’s thoughts, “Could it be that this person didn’t leave the room?”
Huihara Ai also felt a little amusement and expressed her doubts, “The coffee marks left on the chair don’t match at all, so when Nakame Raisaku died, the murderer was most likely sitting opposite.”
After everyone went over, they found that, just as Huiyuan Ai said, the coffee marks on the blanket did not match the front two legs of the chair at all, which meant that after the coffee flowed on the chair, it was moved again, and the coffee was not completely dry.
The discoveries made by Qin Mu and Huihara Ai eliminated Somei Shogo as a suspect.
Maori Kogoro said at the side: “Could it be that he and others are colluding with each other?”
Very good, the possibility of joint cooperation can be ruled out.
Xiaolan poked her father and said, “Dad, if it was a joint crime, how could the person inside kill someone else and then put up the anti-theft chain when he got out?”
Maori Kogoro said: “Why not just jump out of the window? When Somei Shogo came to pick us up, his clothes were wet. It is very likely that he went to pick up his accomplice, yes, that is Kuzumi Maiko!”
Qin Mu looked at Kogoro Mori with some surprise in his eyes. After connecting all the information together, Qin Mu had remembered the case, and it was a very tragic story.
Officer Megure said, “Impossible, we are on the 20th floor. If we jump down, we will definitely die.”
Everyone went to the balcony and looked outside. Just as Inspector Megure said, there was no way out. The other side was very far away, and there was no place to stay in the next room.
Officer Takagi also came over, “I found out Somei Shogo’s alibi. Someone noticed him at the convenience store at the time.”
“How is this possible!”
Maori Kogoro was a little bit incredulous. It was obvious that Somei Shogo was almost confessing his guilt, but it turned out that he was innocent. He grabbed his collar and said, “You clearly have an alibi, why don’t you say it?”
“I…” Somei Shogo himself didn’t expect this.
Officer Megure coughed and said, “Since he is innocent, then we should immediately look for Kuzumi Maiko. She is the most suspicious at the moment.”
“Yes!” Officer Takagi looked serious and immediately prepared to take action.
“Keep the change, please!”
Qin Mu’s voice rang out loudly, attracting everyone’s attention.
“Brother Qin Mu?” Officer Megure was overjoyed when he saw Qin Mu’s expression. “Do you already know who the murderer is and how he committed the crime?”
Conan thought to himself, oh no, is he going to lose again this time?
Huihara Ai also looked at Qin Mu, a little surprised. She didn’t expect that the problem would be solved so quickly. It seemed that his reputation was not exaggerated.
Qin Mu nodded and sighed, “You can’t find Kuzumi Maiko.”
“She is indeed the murderer.” Officer Megure said, “Brother Qin Mu, believe in our strength. The law will catch her even if she runs to the ends of the earth.”
“She went to the underworld. Are you going to bring her back too?”
Underworld?
After hearing Qin Mu’s words, everyone was shocked. They were talking about the murderer, so how did it get to the underworld?
Qin Mu looked at Somei Shogo, “You really aren’t surprised at all, is that because you already knew it?”
Everyone looked over and saw that his face was full of sadness. They nodded and agreed to it all.
Qin Mu continued, “Before, Xiaolan said that Somei Shogo and Kusumi Maiko were a good match. I knew that the reason he covered up the truth was for Kusumi Maiko. The only way to leave after creating the secret room was to go to the balcony. The reason why Kusumi Maiko’s phone couldn’t be reached was because she had already jumped down, so there was no way to get through.”
“Although I don’t know why she wanted to kill Nakame Raisaku, I guess she must have called Mr. Somei Shogo before she died. That’s why Somei Shogo’s clothes were wet when he went to pick up Mr. Mori. I guess after he received the call, he wanted to save the other person in a hurry, but it didn’t go as he wished.”
“As for her body, it should be hidden in the car. Officer Megure might as well check his car.”
Inspector Megure immediately sent someone to check, and it turned out to be exactly as Qin Mu had said.
[There is only one truth] is activated.
???
Qin Mu was shocked. The person was dead, so how could he kneel down and repent? Just thinking about that scene was too horrifying.
But the next second, he understood.
Somei Shogo covered his face and cried, “It’s all Nakame Raisaku’s fault. He put forward a lot of conditions that were difficult to fulfill, which led to the cancellation of the program and affected my career. Maiko did it for me. She called me before she jumped off the building, wuwu…”
At the same time, everyone realized that the reason why Somei Shogo deliberately faked the scene was to draw suspicion to himself and take the blame for Maiko Kuzumi.
What a pair of ill-fated lovers.
Qin Mu shook his head.
Behind him, Conan looked at Qin Mu with helplessness in his eyes, as if he had lost again. He then looked at Huibara Ai, but this helper of Qin Mu did not look like a little girl at all.
Chapter 11 I’ll Eat You Forever (Old Version)
Chapter 11 I’ll Eat You Forever
Judging from her behavior, she seems to be an adult. Could it be that she has become smaller like me?
Haha, how is that possible.
Conan laughed at himself in his heart, wondering how could he have such a bizarre idea. Thinking back to Qin Mu’s previous introduction, he judged that it was probably because of the living environment that caused the other party to mature precociously.
While Conan was looking at Haibara Ai, the other party was also secretly paying attention to him. Now there were so many people around, it was not a good time to reveal his identity, so he decided to wait until next time.
After the case was solved, Qin Mu took Huihara Ai away. However, there was good news this time, that is, the police station was ready to reward him.
Officer Megure took Qin Mu’s personal situation into consideration, so he made a special application to his superiors. After all, they had been together for such a long time, and he regarded Qin Mu as his own son or nephew, so he must be given the proper treatment, but the money was not much. Another advantage was that when Qin Mu graduated, as long as he wanted to join the police station, he could go directly to work in the police station without passing an exam.
Every time he helped solve a case, the money would usually be transferred to Qin Mu’s card within a week or two.
In Conan’s world, a week or two, if you say it’s fast, it may be over tomorrow, but if you say it’s slow, it may take a month or two, or even a year or two, for only one week to pass here.
When the two returned home, it was Qin Mu who cleaned up the things on the table. After they finished cleaning up, Huihara Ai just came out of the bathroom, so he could go in and take a shower directly. When the two finished taking a shower, they turned off the TV early. Tomorrow was a rare school time, so they had to go to bed early and get up early.
Late at night, Haibara Ai, who was lying on the sofa, climbed onto the bed again.
Early in the morning, Qin Mu got up early, made sandwiches, one for each student, and set off for school.
Although Teitan High School and Teitan Elementary School are very close to each other, their school closing times are different, so Qin Mu needs to take her with him to familiarize herself with the route, and he also gave Haibara Ai a spare key to his house.
On the first day of school for Haibara Ai, Qin Mu specially sent her in.
“Actually, you don’t have to send me in specially.” Huihara Ai still felt a little awkward when she saw Qin Mu entering the school with her.
“It’s okay!” Qin Mu touched her forehead. “Whose parents don’t personally send their children to school on their first day?”
The most important thing is that sending Haibara Ai away is one purpose, and another purpose is to give Conan a surprise. Maybe I can see Conan’s surprised expression.
Seeing that Qin Mu was a little excited, Huihara Ai could roughly guess what was going on and rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking he was so childish.
But I also feel a little warm. It seems that having someone like this who cares about me every day is pretty good, a bit like my sister.
Grade 1, Class B.
Teacher Xiaolin greeted Qin Mu with a smile, “You must be Huiyuan Ai’s parent, I didn’t expect that you would personally send her here on the first day.”
Qin Mu smiled and explained, “Yes, because the child is introverted and doesn’t like to talk much, so I made a special trip here, hoping that the teacher can take good care of him during school.”
While talking, Qin Mu secretly looked at Teacher Kobayashi. He had to admit that she looked very similar to Sato Miwako. No wonder Officer Shiratori couldn’t tell them apart.
Teacher Kobayashi greeted Haibara Ai.
She also pretended to be shy, pulling Qin Mu’s trouser legs and hiding behind him.
Qin Mu pushed Huihara Ai into the classroom.
Everyone was curious about what the newborn would look like when Haibara Ai came in.
“Wow, this is the freshman, that’s really cool.”
“I feel super cute.”
Conan was sticking his face out and pouting, wondering what was there to be curious about? It was just a new student. But after looking over, he was stunned. Wasn’t this the girl that Brother Qin Mu brought before? What a coincidence! She happened to be in the same class with me.
He noticed a figure outside, and when he looked over, his eyes met Qin Mu’s.
Qin Mu smiled slightly as a greeting.
Qin Mu thought it was almost time, so he went straight to school.
After introducing herself, Haibara Ai sat next to Conan under everyone’s expectant gaze. At this moment, Conan felt the malice slowly building up around him.
Qin Mu had just returned to school and entered the classroom when a large group of girls surrounded him and asked him questions.
“What are you doing?” At this time, Yuanzi came over and directly separated the people blocking the way in front of him with her hands. She came to Qin Mu and said in front of everyone: “You are all surrounding Brother Qin Mu. How can he return to his seat? What’s more, Brother Qin Mu is already very tired from solving cases every day. When he comes to school, don’t you even give Brother Qin Mu a little rest time?”
Yuanzi’s scolding was quite effective. None of the girls dared to say anything and they could only return to their seats.
Qin Mu’s mouth twitched a little at Yuanzi’s remarks. This is a school, how could it be a place to rest? Perhaps only a rich lady like Yuanzi could say such a thing.
Yuanzi brought Qin Mu to his seat, her face full of longing, “Brother Qin Mu, I have specially applied to the teacher to switch your seat to behind me, so that you can tell me about the cases you solved every day.”
Qin Mu knew that Sonoko admired him very much, but there was no need to be so exaggerated. However, when he thought about Sonoko’s admiration for Kaito Kidd, he felt relieved. This was indeed something Sonoko could do.
Xiaolan, who was sitting next to Yuanzi, reminded him, “Yuanzi, after I went back home yesterday, didn’t I tell you everything about the case over the phone?”
“Oh, that’s different.” Yuanzi waved her hand. “Lan, you are a bystander, and Brother Qin Mu is the one who solved the case. Maybe there are some details that Brother Qin Mu was not willing to tell at the time?”
Yuanzi went over and straightened Xiaolan’s body. “As a good student, you should study hard. For things like explaining the case, let Brother Qin Mu come in person.”
“But, Brother Qin Mu also needs to study…”
“Lan, just listen to me and study hard.” Sonoko patted Xiaolan on the shoulder, “And think carefully about how to help your detective boy catch up on the missed courses when he comes back.”
“What do you mean my home…” Xiaolan blushed, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Seeing that she had successfully dealt with Xiaolan, Sonoko secretly covered her mouth and laughed, “Just because you get shy when Kudo Shinichi is mentioned, I will eat you for the rest of my life. As long as you come to be a light bulb for me and Brother Qin Mu, I will mention you. I, Queen Sonoko, am too smart, hahahaha…”
Chapter 12 That’s My Water (Old Version)
Chapter 12 That’s My Water
Yuanzi dealt with Xiaolan and returned to her seat. She turned her head and looked at Qin Mu, “Brother Qin Mu, can you tell me about the case yesterday?”
After Qin Mu finished telling all about yesterday’s case, Yuanzi was moved to tears, “Somei Shogo and Kusumi Maiko were such good people. It’s all because of that Nakame Raisaku that the two of them are now separated by the Yin and Yang…”
Qin Mu kept taking out tissues and passing them to Yuanzi. Yuanzi has always been very emotional, so it is understandable that she cried like this.
Qin Mu was thinking in his mind, and he didn’t know why the timeline here was so chaotic. The Kaito Kidd, who was supposed to appear, has not appeared yet.
Looking at the garden in front of him, Qin Mu still had a good impression of it. After all, as a rich lady, it was very good that she was not pretentious. Moreover, she was able to endure hardships and was kind.
Moreover, Qin Mu also has great advantages. Not only is he handsome, but he is also intelligent and talented, and his emotional intelligence is definitely higher than that of Kudo Shinichi.
This results in the two people being less than lovers but more than friends.
After Yuanzi cried for a long time, the bell for class rang, and she stopped what she was doing.
It was obvious that Yuanzi was restless during class, and she couldn’t understand. If she could understand, she wouldn’t have scored so low in the exam, and she wouldn’t have been punished by her mother with a bamboo sword.
From time to time, while the teacher was writing on the blackboard, she would turn around and throw a small note to Qin Mu, or chat with Xiaolan next to her.
Qin Mu opened the note. Yuanzi invited Qin Mu through the note, asking if he wanted to play tennis together in the afternoon.
Qin Mu hesitated for a moment and did not agree directly. He told Sonoko that he would reply after school. At least he had to arrange Haibara Ai’s matter.
Qin Mu almost fell asleep while listening to the knowledge points the teacher was talking about in class. Of course, it was not because Qin Mu did not like listening to the class, but because the timeline of this world was a bit confusing, so the teacher had already explained each knowledge point several times and it had been memorized in his mind.
Fortunately, although the timeline is chaotic, the school dismissal time still follows the old Japanese tradition and ends at three o’clock.
Qin Mu thought that since today was the first day, it would be better for him to go and pick them up and see how the situation was developing. However, he received a message from Huibara Ai first, saying that she had made new friends and would go out to play with them in the evening.
“Come on, let’s go together, Brother Qin Mu!” Yuanzi had secretly seen Qin Mu’s phone, “Let the children play together, and we adults should play with adult things!”
During the phone call with Xiaolan last night, Sonoko already knew about the existence of Ai.
Xiaolan apologized for Sonoko’s peeking at her phone, but she also advised: “It’s okay, Brother Qin Mu. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll call Conan and ask him to help take care of Xiao Ai.”
Qin Mu thought, maybe Ai is with Conan and the others now.
Just as he thought, Ayumi invited Haibara Ai and she successfully joined.
The boys, the detectives, the group, are officially in place.
Qin Mu was also pulled away by Yuanzi and Xiaolan to play tennis together.
When they arrived at the tennis club, Sonoko stepped in and borrowed the court and rackets.
A huge professional tennis stadium with all the necessary equipment.
“Hurry up, let’s start?” Yuanzi excitedly distributed tennis rackets to Xiaolan and Qin Mu.
“Isn’t this a bit inappropriate?” Xiaolan looked at the surroundings and asked Yuanzi in a low voice.
Yuanzi didn’t care. “What’s the big deal? My family has also invested in this professional venue. Anyway, we can just play. No one will say anything bad about us. Besides, so many people are waiting for our performance.”
Qin Mu stood nearby, feeling emotional. The Yuanzi family’s investments were truly everywhere; they even spent money on a small tennis court.
It is worth mentioning that because of Qin Mu’s reputation, many female students in the school came to watch.
Qin Mu knows a little about tennis, and with his strong physique, he is more than capable of playing against Sonoko and Xiaolan alone.
Every time Qin Mu successfully scored a point, the girls sitting in the audience would scream and cheer for Qin Mu. Listening to their voices, Yuanzi felt a little jealous, but fortunately, she was the one playing with Qin Mu’s brother, and was treated better than them.
Goto Takao, the deputy director of the tennis club, came out of the lounge, and after seeing Sonoko successfully catch a ball, he smiled and shouted, “Sonoko, you played well.”
Yuanzi smiled slightly.
However, when Goto Takao saw Qin Mu playing basketball with Sonoko, he couldn’t help but frowned and thought, who is this person? Does he understand what first come, first served means? It was obviously him who got in touch with Sonoko first.
Yes, this person came for the money from the garden, no, there are also those who want to kill him, in short, most of them have ulterior motives.
After fighting for a long time, Qin Mu and others finally became exhausted and asked to stop and rest.
When Goto Takao saw this, he quickly walked over to her and handed her the water he had prepared in advance. He pretended to be considerate and said, “Sonoko, you were great when you played just now, but there was a problem with one of your balls. Take a break and I’ll teach you later.”
Unfortunately, Yuanzi didn’t listen at all. After taking the water, she took the initiative to unscrew it and handed the water to Qin Mu in front of him, “Brother Qin Mu, drink some water.”
“Thank you.” Qin Mu nodded with a smile.
Several girls around were ready to give Qin Mu the water they had prepared, but when they saw Yuanzi nearby, they thought about it and decided to give up. Since the young lady was here, they decided to forget it.
After Goto Takao watched Qin Mu drink the water, he became extremely gloomy. If looks could kill, Qin Mu would have died several times already.
The careful Xiaolan had prepared the water in advance before she came, so there was no need to worry about the garden.
While drinking the water Xiaolan handed over, Yuanzi played with the tennis racket in his other hand and gestured to Qin Mu and Xiaolan, “Brother Qin Mu, Xiaolan, how was my shot? Was it amazing?”
Qin Mu and Xiao Lan nodded repeatedly.
Instead, Goto Takao was isolated there. Although no one paid attention to him, he could find things to talk about on his own.
He took the initiative to approach, “Yuanzi, you haven’t introduced me yet, this newcomer is…”
Yuanzi explained excitedly: “This is Qin Mu. Like Lan, he is my classmate. What do you think? Isn’t he handsome?”
Goto Takao nodded awkwardly.
Chapter 13: Come and watch my game (old version)
Chapter 13 Come and watch my game
Although this guy is indeed more handsome than me, he broke the rules. Why did he have to fall in love with the same person as me?
Goto Takao was dissatisfied and said, “Since you want to snatch it from me, I must teach you a lesson today!”
Sonoko introduced Goto Takao again, “This is my tennis coach, his name is Goto Takao.”
Goto Takao greeted Qin Mu with a fake smile, hoping to make Qin Mu back down. “I am not only Sonoko’s tennis coach, but also the vice president of the school tennis club. The most important thing is that I will be participating in a tennis tournament in a few days.”
After introducing his resume, Goto Takao was very proud, but he found that Qin Mu and others were not listening at all, but were watching Sonoko talk about the wonderful moments when she was playing tennis just now.
Goto Takao’s face turned even darker. He ignored me again and again. I had no idea what else this kid named Qin Mu had besides being handsome.
As I said, if the mountain doesn’t come to me, I will go to the mountain.
Goto Takao adjusted his anger, and approached again with a smile on his face, “Sonoko, you were really good at hitting those balls, but you still have some problems when you play basketball.”
Then he looked at Xiaolan and Qin Mu, “Actually, you two have some ideas too, why don’t I give you some pointers today.”
Xiaolan felt a little embarrassed, “You are Sonoko’s coach, and now there are two of us, isn’t that a bit bad?”
“It’s okay.” Goto Takao said pretending to be very magnanimous.
Just like that, Goto Takao began to teach Qin Mu and the other three the skills of playing tennis, but his focus was all on Qin Mu. He had already regarded Qin Mu as his competitor, and secretly swore in his heart that he would expose Qin Mu’s true colors today no matter what he said.
“Yes, Sonoko and Xiaolan did a great job, that’s it.”
At this moment, Goto Takao regained his confidence, then looked at Qin Mu and pointed, “Your action is really exaggerated. When facing the kind of ball I mentioned, you can hit the ball by swinging the tennis racket slightly.”
“On the tennis court, you must learn to save your energy. If you use all your strength for every ball, it is of course very good, but you may feel weak before even playing half a game, especially for students like you who sit in a chair every day and do not exercise. You will lack physical strength even more, and you may even have back pain after the game.”
He kept lecturing Qin Mu, which made Qin Mu very annoyed.
“Then if I practice karate every day, will my physical strength be better?” Qin Mu asked back.
“That’s fine.” Goto Takao nodded, “But it’s a little late for you to think about learning karate now. You might as well think about how to save your energy on the tennis court, just like Miss Sonoko, who saves a lot of energy and has very standard movements.”
“Is it too late?” Qin Mu looked straight at Goto Takao, “But I’m a black belt now, so it doesn’t feel too late.”
Black belt?
Goto Takao was completely stunned. He never thought that Qin Mu, who looked quite thin, turned out to be a black belt. He subconsciously walked to the side, trying to stay as far away from Qin Mu as possible to prevent Qin Mu from hitting him with a tennis racket.
After noticing Sonoko, he quickly changed the subject and asked Sonoko, “I’m going to participate in a tennis tournament this weekend. I wonder if you have time, Sonoko? You can come over to watch the game and cheer me on.”
“Of course.” Yuanzi’s eyes lit up. Isn’t this a perfect excuse to ask Brother Qin Mu out to play?
If Goto Takao knew that Sonoko went to watch the game for this reason, he would probably vomit blood. I just want to improve the relationship between us. It’s not the same as the relationship between you and that guy named Qin Mu!
Sonoko looked at Xiaolan. Since her best friend had already agreed, it seemed difficult for her to refuse, so Xiaolan also nodded.
Yuanzi asked Qin Mu again: “Brother Qin Mu, do you want to go with me then?”
Qin Mu thought about it. He might be at home with Xiao Ai on the weekends. It would not be good to leave Xiao Ai alone at home. “I’ll think about it.”
Yuanzi was a little disappointed. “Okay, if you want to go, Brother Qin Mu, you can tell me. By the way, you can also bring the little girl who is temporarily staying at your house with you.”
Qin Mu said he would consider it, but in fact he just wanted to send a message to Haibara Ai to see if she was willing to watch the tennis match.
On the other side, Haibara Ai was walking with the other members of the Junior Detective Team, but she was walking at the back. When she heard someone sending her a message, she took it out and saw the message from Qin Mu.
Tennis match?
She was not interested in this kind of thing, so she chose to refuse without thinking.
【Not going】
Seeing this reply, Qin Mu was not discouraged and sent another message.
【Kudo Shinichi also goes back】
As for why Qin Mu is so sure, is there any need to guess?
Xiaolan is already leaving, and she’s going with Sonoko, so Conan must follow her to prevent Sonoko from leading Xiaolan astray. Besides, after Xiaolan leaves, there will be no one to cook in the detective agency, and Kogoro Mouri doesn’t want to take Conan, a burden, with him to drink.
Therefore, Conan must go.
Haibara Ai, who was following behind the team, glanced at Conan who was leading the way, and finally decided to agree.
At this moment, Ayumi ran over and held Huihara Ai’s arm, “Ai-chan, walk a little faster, or we’ll get separated.”
As she spoke, Ayumi looked at the desolate and slightly terrifying scenery around her, and fearfully squeezed closer to Haibara Ai.
In order to show the courage of their detective team to Haibara Ai, the leader of the Boy Detective Team, Genta Kojima, specially found a slightly scary place for an adventure.
【go】
Looking at the message from Haibara Ai, Qin Mu was very confident and knew that she would agree as soon as Kudo Shinichi was mentioned.
After getting the accurate information, Qin Mu also came to Yuanzi and accepted her invitation.
When Yuanzi was happy, Qin Mu glanced at Goto Takao not far away.
He was somewhat familiar with this name. The case was a bit funny, and the man’s philandering left a deep impression on Qin Mu.
You treated me like that before, this time I want to see how you die.
You are responsible for dying, and I am responsible for reasoning. I must show you my talent clearly and let you know that reasoning is no worse than your tennis.
If it doesn’t work, just refute me, provided you can still speak.
Chapter 14: It’s a waste if you don’t eat this melon (old version)
Chapter 14: This melon is a waste if you don’t eat it
“Brother Qin Mu, we can still play for a while before the game starts. I practiced specially when I got home yesterday.”
Yuanzi was full of anticipation and had even put on her tennis clothes. She came close to Qin Mu and said, “This is the wrist guard I prepared specially. We will each have one when the time comes. This way, we won’t get hurt easily.”
Qin Mu also accepted Yuanzi’s kindness with a smile. The two of them sat in the car talking and laughing, but it was hard for Huibara Ai who was sitting in the middle.
Yuanzi kept moving closer to Qin Mu, causing Huihara Ai’s seat space to become smaller and smaller, making her very uncomfortable.
Finally, he couldn’t stand it anymore and said to Sonoko speechlessly: “Sister Sonoko, why do the three of us have to sit in the back row? I see there seems to be one seat in the front.”
Sonoko patted Huihara Ai’s head and explained, “That won’t work. It’s very dangerous to sit in the front. It’s better to sit in the back, and it’s more spacious.”
The seat is spacious, but how can it be spacious? Haibara Ai expressed her dissatisfaction, saying, “You are almost squeezing me into a piece of paper. If it really doesn’t work, you can just let me sit in the front.”
Sonoko took a doll and stuffed it into Huihara Ai’s hand, “Little Ai, play with this doll, it will be here soon.”
This was something that Sonoko had prepared in advance and put in the car. She didn’t know what kind of doll Haibara Ai liked, so she just picked one at random. But she didn’t know that Haibara Ai was actually an adult and had long stopped playing with this kind of thing.
Then Yuanzi’s eyes lit up and she continued to chat with Qin Mu.
Huibara Ai, who was holding the doll toy, rolled her eyes and said, “It’s such a torture. I shouldn’t have come here if I had known.”
Looking at Yuanzi’s infatuated expression, he felt a chill in his heart and secretly poked Qin Mu with his elbow from time to time.
Conan and Xiaolan were in another car, which was arranged by Sonoko in advance.
The competition venue was at the Kita-Karuizawa Plateau Resort Park Tennis Court in Gunma Prefecture, so the journey was not too far and we arrived there quickly.
When Qin Mu carried Huihara Ai out of the car, she was finally freed.
Yuanzi took her things and told the driver to leave for now, then stopped Qin Mu and Xiaolan from rushing into the tennis court. “Hurry up, Lan. I have to show you the killer moves I practiced last night!”
While the three of them were playing tennis, Haibara Ai and Conan could only watch from the side.
Qin Mu left the court after playing for a while, leaving the field to Yuanzi and Xiaolan, while he stood by to cheer them on.
Huiyuan Ai was sitting next to Qin Mu. She noticed Conan strolling nearby and then spoke up, “What was going on with that woman, especially when they were in the car?”
You know without asking that woman that it is Yuanzi.
Qin Mu smiled and touched Huiyuan Ai’s head. “You are still young and don’t understand. You will know when you grow up.”
Haibara Ai was full of questions. It’s obvious that we are about the same age.
Xiaolan and Sonoko were a little tired from playing, so they stopped. Sonoko took the initiative to come over and pull Haibara Ai away, “Xiao Ai, you probably haven’t played tennis before, so today Sister Sonoko will teach you.”
Haibara Ai looked at Qin Mu for help, but Qin Mu simply chose to pretend not to see it. However, this was also for Haibara Ai’s sake. He had been doing research before, so why not take advantage of the fact that he had become small again and enjoy life.
The reason why Sonoko came to find Haibara Ai was because when she was talking to Xiaolan on the phone last night, she specifically asked about Ai’s situation. After learning that Haibara Ai was lonely before, she decided to take good care of the little girl.
“Sister Xiaolan, I want to go to the bathroom.”
As soon as Conan beside him finished speaking, Qin Mu stood up and said, “I’m planning to go too, so let me take Conan with me.”
Xiaolan agreed immediately, “Then I’ll trouble you, Brother Qin Mu.”
“No need to thank me, we are just friends.” Qin Mu waved his hand and took Conan to the bathroom.
Of course, Qin Mu’s main purpose was to record, because it was this time when Conan went to the bathroom and happened to hear the conversation between Goto Takao and Tsuchida Yuka, how could he miss it.
Sure enough, just when Qin Mu and Conan finished using the toilet and passed by the locker room, they heard a crisp slap sound coming from inside.
Qin Mu suddenly became excited. He secretly opened the door a crack and took out the video recorder.
Conan smiled speechlessly, looking at how well prepared Qin Mu was. If he hadn’t known that this was a coincidence, he might have thought that Qin Mu had known about this matter for a long time.
And a big showdown is going on in the locker room.
Tsuchida Yuka took the lead and questioned why Goto Takao invited Suzuki Sonoko, and questioned the relationship between the two.
Goto Takao is indeed an old scumbag. He said directly: “It’s just a simple encouragement. Besides, how could I like a girl like that? I took special care of her because she is the daughter of the Suzuki Group.”
When the other party was about to question him again, he put his hands behind her back and kissed her on the forehead.
After hearing what he said, Tsuchida Arikawa chose to reluctantly believe it and watched Goto Takao leave.
Qin Mu, who was standing at the door, held the video camera in one hand and Conan in the other, and quickly hid behind the wall next to him. Although the wall was relatively narrow, it still blocked the figures of the two people and they were not discovered.
Goto Takao, who came to the door, said to himself, “Even though I say that, if I want to fish, it’s better to catch big fish.”
After the people walked away, Qin Mu and Conan came out.
There was another sound of kicking the locker in the locker room, and I knew who it was without having to think.
Qin Mu did not even miss this point. After recording everything, he turned off the video recorder with satisfaction.
“Haha.” Conan sneered, “Brother Qin Mu, I didn’t expect you to have such a bad taste.”
“What do you mean by bad taste?” Qin Mu corrected him, “This is because I am good at finding problems. If something happens to someone, this is the most crucial evidence. Otherwise, why would your brother Qin Mu bring a video recorder with him?”
Qin Mu paused, “Besides, it’s a waste not to eat this kind of love-hate gossip. If you record it, you can share it with others.”
Conan smiled and said, “I think the second half of the sentence is your real purpose. What’s more, you said that it might become the key evidence. I can tell at a glance that you are not a human being… No, I can tell at a glance that you are lying.”
Qin Mu patted his head and said, “Alright, let’s go quickly. They might get anxious soon.”
Conan then left with Qin Mu.
But the two of them walked for a long time and found that they had not yet walked out of the building.
Chapter 15 There is still the second half (old version)
Chapter 15 There is still the second half
“No, Brother Qin Mu, don’t you know the way?”
Facing Conan’s questioning, Qin Mu said that he was not to blame for this, “Conan, you were clearly walking in front just now, I thought you knew the way.”
Conan rolled his eyes, “I’m walking in front? Didn’t you, Brother Qin Mu, tell me to walk in front? I thought you knew the way and told me to walk in front and remind me when I went the wrong way. I saw that you didn’t say anything, so I thought I was going the right way.”
Qin Mu would never say that the reason he let Conan move forward was to trigger the plot.
Just as the two were walking and arguing in low voices, Qin Mu noticed a figure appearing in front of him. This figure was so familiar, it was Goto Takao. Without saying a word, he immediately covered Conan’s mouth to prevent the other party from hearing him, and then quietly followed behind him and saw him walk into a room.
Qin Mu let go of Conan and took out the video recorder again, “I didn’t expect there would be a second half.”
There’s a second half, Conan complained in his mind. This isn’t football, where there’s a first and second half.
But Conan was also very curious, so he squeezed to the crack of the door and checked what was going on inside.
This time a different woman came. Qin Mu remembered that her name was Chie Otake.
Chie Otake was standing in the room. When she saw Takao Goto coming over, she expressed her request with trepidation, “Well, I want to ask, about the money I lent you…”
Goto Takao said: “As for that matter, please wait a little longer. I will return it to you after a while.”
As the saying goes, after a while, it basically means that they don’t want to pay it back anymore.
Chie Otake was still begging, “Please return the money to me as soon as possible, otherwise I will be in trouble…”
Before she could finish her words, Goto Takao, the old scumbag, began his performance. He hugged Otake Chie in his arms and looked at her affectionately, “The reason why I can participate in such a competition is thanks to your support, Chie.”
This sudden attack made Chie Otake’s heart pound faster and faster.
But just when she was shy, Goto Takao found an excuse and left without giving Otake Chie any chance to speak.
Seeing that he was about to come out, he picked up Conan and hid again.
Just like before, the old scumbag started talking to himself again, “What a troublesome woman, wouldn’t it be better if she just shut up and pay tribute?”
“This…” Conan was about to criticize his behavior when Qin Mu covered his mouth.
The next second, Chie Otake came out of the house, tears in her eyes, “If you don’t pay me back, what should I do…”
As she said this, she covered her face and ran away crying. She just happened to run past two people. Fortunately she covered her face, otherwise they would have discovered her.
After watching everyone leave, Conan spoke up, “Brother Qin Mu, what is this called? Is it what they call two-timing as they say on TV?”
Qin Mu put away his video recorder and shook his finger at Conan. “Don’t ask so many questions, kid. You should focus on studying. If you feel that there is not enough homework, I can make suggestions to your teacher.”
Conan had no choice but to give up.
“You must be Qin Mu and Conan, right?” A voice came from the back, “Xiao Lan and the others are looking for you.”
“Thank you so much for your reminder,” Qin Mu took Conan and followed Azuma Shiyu back to the tennis court.
After seeing Qin Mu and Conan coming back, he breathed a sigh of relief and held Conan’s hand, “Conan, you are so annoying. Why are you running around?”
orchid.
Looking at Xiaolan’s expression, Conan also felt a little distressed.
The next words made Conan feel a chilly wind around him.
“Next time, follow Brother Qin Mu. This is really a waste of time. The training match has already started.”
“You brat!” Yuanzi glared at Conan. If Qin Mu hadn’t been there, she would have punched him.
Faced with the scolding from Xiaolan and Sonoko, Conan felt like crying but had no tears. He was innocent.
Qin Mu also felt that Conan was a little too wronged, so he stood up and said some good things for him, “Actually, this can’t be entirely blamed on Conan. This place is quite large, and there are no guides, so we both got lost.”
“So that’s how it is.” Yuanzi nodded beside her, indicating that this was the case. She silently memorized the information. It seemed that she had to install some signboards in her house. What if Brother Qin Mu went there and got lost?
Qin Mu had no idea that it was this explanation that led to him being labeled as someone who didn’t know the way.
On the court, Goto Takao, who had just hit a beautiful goal, was celebrating when he saw Qin Mu and Sonoko talking intimately. His face suddenly changed. It was that love rival again. This was really hateful. No, he had to think of a way to get back at the scorer.
And when his opponent served the ball, he didn’t notice it and let the ball fly past him.
Of course, it is impossible for Qin Mu and Sonoko to be close. It’s just a matter of Goto Takao’s perspective. What’s more, Sonoko’s other hand is holding Haibara Ai. Intimacy might lead the child astray. Well, in the eyes of Sonoko and others, Haibara Ai is just a child.
“Brother Qin Mu, come quickly. There is a seat there. Let’s go there.”
Under the leadership of Yuanzi, everyone quickly found a seat and sat down.
Conan had sharp eyes and he immediately noticed the two people standing in the front cheering for Goto Takao. They were none other than Tsuchida Arikawa and Otake Chie.
I was speechless and really couldn’t understand what was going on with those two women. Their relationship had already become like that, yet they came over happily to cheer me up. Moreover, they were standing so close to each other.
Qin Mu also noticed it, but did not show it. At the same time, he guessed what Conan was thinking, that he must be saying that he really couldn’t understand women.
For someone with low emotional intelligence like Conan, this is indeed a little incomprehensible. If he were thrown into a palace fighting drama, he might not survive more than one episode.
While Xiaolan and Sonoko were discussing the game on the field, Huihara Ai, who was sitting next to Qin Mu, noticed Qin Mu’s eyes. In addition, Qin Mu had just been in the bathroom for such a long time. As for the excuse of getting lost, she would not believe it, because she knew how good Qin Mu’s memory was, how could he get lost.
“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with those two people?”
Qin Mu smiled and said nothing, then secretly handed the video recorder to Huiyuan Ai, “You will know when you see it for yourself.”
Looking at Qin Mu’s expression, Huihara Ai showed a suspicious look, thinking that this couldn’t be something improper.
Chapter 16 An Unexpected Decision (Old Version)
Chapter 16 An unexpected decision
Haibara Ai opened the video recorder doubtfully, looked at the two videos saved in it, chose one at random and opened it directly.
When the first video was finished, the expression on her face was very interesting. Even Goto Takao’s last monologue was recorded on it. Then she opened another video. After watching it, she looked a little amused and helpless. Sonoko was even mentioned in it.
Haibara Ai looked at Goto Takao who was playing in the game on the court. She had some good impression of him because he played tennis well, but after watching this video, her good impression of him completely dropped to zero.
I didn’t expect this person to be such a scumbag.
But then, Huibara Ai felt a little scared. Qin Mu was really omniscient. She was not as easy to fool as Conan. The reason why Qin Mu brought a video recorder was that he must have known that this kind of thing would happen and made preparations in advance.
Haibara Ai looked at Conan beside her, but unfortunately, Conan only had eyes for Xiaolan, so he didn’t notice.
Qin Mu took the video recorder back.
After a while, the match was temporarily over, and the referee shouted loudly: “The match is over, the winner is Goto Takao!”
Takao Goto put the tennis racket on himself with a very confident expression.
After walking down from the field, Tsuchida Yuka quickly handed over the water she had prepared, “Here, this is the honey lemon water I prepared for you in advance!”
Goto Takao smiled and said, “Thank you, Yuxia still understands me best.”
Hearing such praise, Tsuchida Yuka put her hands on her hips, as if swearing her sovereignty.
Not to be outdone, Chie Otake ran over with a towel in her hand, “Senior Goto, this towel is for you.”
As he said this, he placed the towel around Goto Takao’s neck in front of Tsuchida Yuka.
Tsuchida Arikas glanced at Otake Chie.
At the same time, Sonoko took the racket tape she had prepared in advance, ran over and gave it to Takao Goto, and cheered him up.
Huihara Ai, who was sitting not far away, watched all this quietly, with a gloating expression on her face, “The girl you like may run away with someone else, and these silly women probably don’t know that this man named Goto Takao is playing with their feelings.”
He sneered, “But it’s true. If a man who plays two women at the same time is found out, he might end up in a bad way.”
Qin Mu suddenly interrupted and said, “What will happen if he is discovered? It’s ok to spend money to avoid disaster, but I’m afraid someone will want his life.”
“This person might die here today?” Huihara Ai looked at Qin Mu with some surprise. Although she was skeptical, she thought about Qin Mu’s confidence in controlling the overall situation during this period, and it was very likely to be true.
Qin Mu quickly denied it, “When did I say that? I didn’t say that. Don’t talk nonsense.”
Seeing Qin Mu denying it so hastily, Huihara Ai became more certain.
From the time she had spent with him, she knew that Qin Mu was a vengeful person, and if anyone tried to touch his things, the outcome would definitely not be good.
On the other hand, Azuma Fumio wanted to praise his junior, but Goto Takao did not appreciate it at all. He was sarcastic and mocked his senior for being careless and falling, which resulted in injuring his leg.
The two of them clapped their hands, which was noticed by two girls not far away.
Back on the court, Goto Takao looked at his panting opponent and took the opportunity to suggest, “You are not as strong as me. Why don’t we play mixed doubles? I will find a weaker player to balance the situation a little. How about that?”
Hearing the ridicule from his opponent, the man dared not say anything more and agreed with a forced smile.
Goto Takao stood on the court and shouted loudly: “Ms. Sonoko, the next game will be a mixed doubles match. I wonder if you are interested in joining me?”
“Ah? Me?”
Hearing the shouts, Yuanzi pointed at herself, a little bit unbelieving that a tennis rookie like her was allowed to play, but she glanced at Qin Mu next to her and smiled awkwardly, “Forget it, I’d better not. It’s not particularly suitable.”
Just now after she came back from delivering the gifts, Xiaolan told her that Qin Mu seemed a little angry, so she reminded her that it would be better not to do that. Qin Mu kept this in mind.
If Qin Mu knew this, he would definitely be confused and wonder why he was angry since he was clearly talking to Haibara Ai just now.
Goto Takao was a little surprised when he was rejected by Sonoko, especially when he saw Qin Mu sitting next to Sonoko, his face instantly became gloomy and his eyes were full of hostility.
Qin Mu noticed her look, but did not take it to heart. For a dying man, he should be more generous. If he could escape this disaster, he would settle the score with him later.
He also noticed the high-five between Goto Takao and Agatsuma Fumio just now, but chose not to say it out loud.
Seeing that he failed to successfully establish a relationship with Sonoko, Takao Goto could only turn his attention to Tsuchida Arikata and Otake Chie. After much deliberation, he decided to choose Otake Chie.
When Chie Otake heard her name being called, she was secretly delighted.
Tsuchida Yuka next to her felt very unbalanced. What was going on? First she called Sonoko, and then it was Otake Chie. Then what exactly was this girlfriend of his? A backup among backups?
Chie Otake ran to the field happily and bowed to Takao Goto, “Senior, please give me your guidance.”
“No.” Goto Takao smiled and said, “Go and get ready.”
While Chie Otake was preparing, Takao Goto was also preparing and replaced the wrist guard on his hand. However, the thin film on it was a bit difficult to remove, so he had to use some saliva to get everything done.
Both sides took their positions on the field and the game officially began.
After hitting each other for a while, the opponent hit the ball hard and sent it to the backcourt again. It was a ball that could have been easily received, but when Goto Takao was about to swing his racket to hit the ball back, he felt a pain in his abdomen.
The ball flew straight past his ear.
The audience in the stadium just felt a sense of pity.
Chie Otake noticed something was wrong and asked quietly, “Senior Goto, are you okay?”
Goto Takao waved his hands with all his strength, “I’m fine, I think I ate something wrong at noon today.”
“Why don’t we go down and take a rest first?” suggested Chie Otake.
“I’m fine.” Goto Takao covered his stomach, trotted over to pick up the ball, then threw it in the air, ready to hit it back.
Goto Takao felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and he fell heavily to the ground, and the ball hit him on the head.
Chapter 17 This is more like a policeman (old version)
Chapter 17 This is more like a policeman
“ah!”
Seeing Goto Takao fall to the ground in pain, Chie Otake screamed in fear, and everyone present quickly gathered around to check what was going on.
Conan took advantage of his small size and jumped down from the audience. He ran to the side, looking unhappy, and said, “Call an ambulance quickly.”
Xiaolan reacted immediately, took out her phone, called an ambulance, and then called the police.
Haibara Ai glanced at Goto Takao on the ground, then cast her gaze at Qin Mu. Her eyes were full of questioning, and the meaning was very clear: Did you do this?
After all, Qin Mu was too mysterious. Not long ago, he told me that this person might die, and then an accident really happened.
How could Qin Mu possibly take the blame? He shrugged his shoulders, indicating that it was not his fault at all.
Yuanzi, at this moment, was tightly grasping Qin Mu’s sleeves, shouting, “Everyone, get out of the way! Brother Qin Mu is here!”
Everyone looked over when they heard the voice. Yuan Zi said proudly, “Brother Qin Mu is known as the new Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era. All of you get out of the way and don’t waste time. After Brother Qin Mu has seen this, he will be able to find out who the murderer is.”
Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era?
Whether it is new or old, it means that he must be a powerful person.
Qin Mu squatted down, and Conan was beside him. “There’s a taste of almonds in your mouth. It should be cyanide poisoning.”
Feeling everyone’s gaze, Conan smiled awkwardly and immediately used his cuteness skills, “Hahaha, isn’t that right, Brother Qin Mu? I heard this from my uncle.”
Haibara Ai looked at Conan acting like a spoiled child and felt very contemptuous in her heart. Hey, Kudo Shinichi, you haven’t forgotten that you are already eighteen years old this year!
Qin Mu pulled Conan away with his hands, put on gloves, and checked the palm of Goto Takao’s hand.
If Goto Takao knew that his enemy was examining him, he would definitely refuse at all costs. Unfortunately, this was an autopsy and he had no choice.
The original novel did not explain what happened to him in the end, but in this world, he ran over to pick up the ball, causing the cyanide in his stomach to spread rapidly, and he died before long.
While Qin Mu was performing the autopsy, Conan was helping nearby. Although he pushed Qin Mu aside, he kept moving closer.
After a while, Police Inspector Yamamura also rushed over.
This place is exactly the territory of Gunma Prefecture.
You have to know that the reason why Inspector Yamamura has his current status is entirely thanks to Conan. Without him, he probably wouldn’t have been promoted so quickly.
“What are you doing?”
Inspector Yamamura saw someone looking at the corpse and hurried to stop them. When Qin Mu stood up, he was overjoyed, “You…you are the new Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era.”
He hurried over to shake hands with Qin Mu and said, “I just don’t know which of the two Heisei era Sherlock Holmes is better.”
Yuanzi immediately stood up, with her hands on her hips, to support Qin Mu. “It must be that Qin Mu, the new Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, is even more powerful than that detective boy Kudo Shinichi. Didn’t you see that he hasn’t come out yet? He must be ashamed of being compared to Qin Mu, so he found a place to hide, hahahaha!”
This gossip!
Looking at Sonoko’s exaggerated expression, Conan cursed in his heart. Fortunately, there were no reporters here. If it was reported out, everyone would probably think that he was scared.
However, looking at Qin Mu standing there, Conan frowned. He was a little worried about competing with Qin Mu.
Inspector Yamamura also noticed Xiaolan, and his eyes lit up, “Aren’t you Xiaolan? Could it be that the legendary Maori Kogoro is also nearby?”
Having said that, Inspector Yamamura immediately started looking for him.
Xiaolan smiled awkwardly, “Dad didn’t come with us.”
“Okay.” Seeing that Kogoro Mouri was really not found, Inspector Yamamura gave up.
Inspector Yamamura looked at Qin Mu and asked, “What do you think of the case?”
Before Qin Mu opened his mouth, Conan spoke first: “Mr. Goto Takao didn’t have any abnormalities in the last game, but only in this game. Before the game, the three sisters handed him comfort items, so it is possible that the comfort items were smeared with cyanide.”
“Comfort gifts?” Inspector Yamamura asked Chie Otake, Aika Tsuchida, and Sonoko to tell them everything they had sent.
Inspector Yamamura called everyone into a room, pretended to post all the useful information on the whiteboard, and then began to analyze it while looking at the whiteboard.
The people around him looked at his actions and felt a little confused.
Inspector Yamamura saw the confusion among the crowd, smiled awkwardly, and explained to everyone: “I learned this from TV. This way I can look more like a policeman, hahahaha…”
Qin Mu was speechless. You are a policeman, okay? Although your reaction was a little slow and you couldn’t see any clues at the scene, and your promotion and salary increase all depended on Conan, you are indeed a policeman, and there is no need to imitate him.
Inspector Yamamura then said with a serious face: “I have found the problem.”
Everyone’s attention was drawn to see what he was going to say.
Inspector Yamamura said seriously, “The real criminal is you, Ms. Tsuchida Arikas!”
Seeing that he was said to be the murderer, Tsuchida Arikawa immediately began to question his origins.
Inspector Yamamura said calmly, “Among all the gifts, the only one that could have cyanide in it was the water you handed over. It must be you who put cyanide in the cup and let Goto Takao drink it, which led to his death.”
“It wasn’t me.” Tsuchida Yuka quickly defended herself, “Someone must have secretly put poison in my cup.”
Qin Mu was speechless. Okay, one person has been eliminated successfully. If this is the murderer’s method of killing, that would be great.
“Isn’t this too easy?” Qin Mu stood up.
“oh?”
Qin Mu said: “If she really put cyanide in the cup, she would have been discovered immediately, so no one would be so stupid. When I performed the autopsy, I found that Goto Takao’s palms were corroded, so someone must have handed him something stained with cyanide, causing him to accidentally ingest it, which led to this incident.”
At this time, another investigator came in and told the results of the drug test. It was found that traces of cyanide were found in everything that had come into contact with Takao Goto.
Tsuchida Yuka and Otake Chie kept defending their innocence, and said that if they had come into contact with cyanide, there would be signs of corrosion on their hands.
Chapter 18 You Won’t Send Me to Prison (Old Version)
Chapter 18 You Won’t Send Me In
Seeing that there was no progress, Qin Mu took out his video recorder, stuffed it into Conan’s hand, and winked at Conan, “Go Pikachu… Go Conan, it’s your turn.”
Conan was helpless. The video recorder was obviously yours, and you shot the video, so why did you let me go up in the end?
But Conan still took out the video recorder obediently.
“Ah, but it seems that these two young ladies were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with the deceased.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
Xiaolan looked apologetic and tried to pull Conan over, but Conan raised the video camera in his hand and said, “I was in the toilet at the time and happened to see it.”
Police Captain Yamamura took the video recorder and played the two videos in front of everyone. No one paid attention to the origin of the video recorder and everyone was watching the videos in it.
After watching the video, everyone finally understood that this guy was such a scumbag and he deserved to die.
Chie Otake and Arikara Tsuchida were particularly angry. They didn’t expect that Takao Goto’s purpose in approaching them was so impure. They also regretted why they didn’t realize his evil ambitions.
As for Yuanzi mentioned in the video, he didn’t have any feelings. He just felt a little sad. Why did people deliberately approach him? They were always after his money. Fortunately, he still had brother Qin Mu.
Inspector Yamamura looked at Chie Otake and Yuka Tsuchida, “Now you two are more suspicious, and Miss Sonoko has to be included as well.”
Yuanzi pointed at herself, somewhat surprised why she was also suspected.
Qin Mu’s hand fell on her shoulder. “Because you are also one of the people who sent the comfort items. But don’t worry, I’m just asking out of habit.”
Feeling the warmth in Qin Mu’s palm, Yuanzi felt a gradual sense of security, her eyes full of little stars. Brother Qin Mu will definitely solve this case as soon as possible for me.
No, she instantly remembered what Xiaolan had said before.
When you went to deliver the comfort supplies, Brother Qin Mu looked a little unhappy.
What should I do? Will Brother Qin Mu send me to jail in order to take revenge on me? What should I do?
Xiaolan stood by and watched the changes in Yuanzi. She felt a little strange. Isn’t it a very romantic thing for the person she loves to solve the case and prove her innocence?
Chie Otake and Arikara Tsuchida proved their innocence respectively. Of course, during this period, the two also mocked each other, but they also revealed a very important issue, that is, Takao Goto had to change the racket tape in every game, and what Sonoko gave him was the racket tape.
For a moment, all criticism was directed at Yuanzi.
Inspector Yamamura laughed strangely, “I already understand the truth of this case. Everything that happened on the tennis court, so let’s go to the tennis court to solve it!”
Everyone felt that this police officer with strange behavior was a little unreliable, but they still followed him.
Arriving at the tennis court, Officer Yamamura stated his judgment and even took out a racket tape to demonstrate to everyone, “As long as Miss Sonoko applies cyanide on the plastic outside, Goto Takao’s hands will be covered with cyanide.”
At this time, new information came from the forensic department, that cyanide was indeed found on the tape of the racket, which seemed to confirm the correctness of Inspector Yamamura’s reasoning.
Seeing that Sonoko was regarded as a suspect, Conan picked up his watch and pointed it at Sonoko.
At this time, a big hand patted Conan, “This is a crime scene, don’t run around, follow your sister Xiaolan.”
Qin Mu then stood up and said, “Inspector Yamamura, your reasoning is actually a bit problematic. If it was really Sonoko who poisoned her, then her hands would have been contaminated when she was delivering the gifts. And she ate a lot of snacks in the audience, wouldn’t she have been poisoned as well? But it’s clear that Sonoko is fine now, not to mention that her hands had come into contact with Xiaolan and Xiaoai.”
“this……”
When these words were spoken, Officer Shancun was stumped. Yes, then why didn’t anything go wrong?
Yuanzi looked at Qin Mu with love in her eyes. Is this the scene of watching Qin Mu’s reasoning up close? It’s so handsome. No wonder people say that men are the most handsome when they are serious.
Officer Shancun quickly said, “Could it be that Yuanzi went to wash his hands again and washed away the cyanide on his hands?”
“That’s impossible.” Qin Mu shook his head. “Since the competition started, Yuanzi has been with us all the time and has never been anywhere, so there is no possibility that it has been washed away.”
“That’s right.” Xiaolan also stood up and testified to Qin Mu’s words.
“That……”
When Inspector Yamamura was about to put forward a new point of view, Qin Mu waved him off and said, “Why don’t you listen to my reasoning?”
When Officer Shancun heard Qin Mu say that he wanted to do the pushing himself, he immediately agreed. After all, it was a good thing to have a detective come to help him.
Qin Mu said slowly, “Yuanzi is not the murderer. If Otake Chie’s towel contained cyanide, then Goto Takao’s other parts would also be corroded, so she is not the murderer. The water cup was too obviously poisoned, and there was no toxic reaction found in the cup, so it was not him either.”
The voice paused for a moment, “But did you notice that there was actually another person at the scene who had contact with Goto Takao, and that was you, Azuma Fumio!”
Everyone looked in the direction Qin Mu pointed and saw my wife Shi Yu sitting on a chair with one leg bandaged.
Azuma Fumio laughed at himself, “Me? Great Detective, I never sent any comfort items to Goto Takao. I didn’t even have the chance to poison him.”
“Yeah?”
Qin Mu asked back, which made him feel a little guilty.
Qin Mu continued, “Although you didn’t send any gifts, you used a very common move of a tennis player. Even in public, it would not arouse anyone’s suspicion. When you and Goto Takao high-fived, you applied the poison on his hand.”
Tsuchida Yuka and Otake Chie nodded. “We were not far away at the time and did see the two people high-fiving each other, but we didn’t expect that Senior Azuma Fumihiro would actually…”
As they spoke, the two men realized the danger and wanted to stay away from him.
“Hahaha, impossible.” Azuma Fumio spread out his palm to prove himself, “Look at my hand, it’s completely different from Goto Takao’s, it’s not corroded, so how can you say I poisoned it?”
Chapter 19: Chaotic Timeline (Old Version)
Chapter 19: Confused Timeline
“Where are your gloves?”
Qin Mu suddenly said, “I remember you wore tennis gloves before, why are they gone now?”
At this time, Huiyuan Ai took a tissue and brought over a tennis ball, “Here.”
Officer Shancun quickly took it, opened it, and saw a glove inside. He handed it to the deputy and said, “Go check it immediately.”
Qin Mu said: “During the match, there were two match balls. When the first ball flew into the audience, you had to return the ball to the court. But at that time, because your tennis gloves were coated with cyanide, you didn’t do so in order not to be exposed. That’s why the match became a mixed doubles match.”
“After Goto Takao got into trouble, you took advantage of the chaos at the scene and hid the poisoned gloves in the tennis ball, and then disposed of the tennis ball. But you didn’t expect that Ai would find it again. As long as your fingerprints are found on the gloves again, you will not be able to escape.”
“hateful.”
Azuma Fumihiro clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he said, “Originally, I was supposed to play in tomorrow’s game, but I didn’t expect that Goto Takao, who was jealous of me, would deliberately trip me while I was contacting, causing my foot bone to fracture and forcing me to withdraw from the game. Moreover, because of him, I lost my sponsor’s contract and scholarship. That villain also deliberately mocked me, saying that I would never be as careless as my senior!”
Listening to his speech, everyone felt sad for him, but breaking the law is breaking the law and must be punished by law.
The case is officially resolved.
Officer Shancun came to Qin Mu with an excited look on his face, and kept thanking him, “If it weren’t for you, I might have almost made a wrong judgment on this case.”
A confused police officer indeed.
Of course, this is what I really think.
Qin Mu responded: “No, actually Officer Shancun, you are also… well, very professional. You gave me some tips.”
As the saying goes, a sedan chair is carried by everyone, but when it comes to praising the village police officer, I really can’t think of any words.
“Really?”
On the contrary, Officer Yamamura was particularly happy. He felt that he had received praise from an industry insider, so he directly invited Qin Mu and others to eat the special food of Gunma Prefecture. During the meal, he was still talking incessantly about the new method of judging cases that he had learned.
Haibara Ai sat next to Qin Mu, drinking quietly by herself, while Sonoko kept picking up food for her. In this somewhat noisy environment, Haibara Ai did not feel that it was annoying, but rather she liked it a little.
However, this good mood did not last long for Haibara Ai, for the simple reason that everyone had to go back and take the car arranged by Sonoko.
Just like the last time she came, Huibara Ai was sandwiched between Qin Mu and Sonoko and couldn’t move. This was still the smallest thing.
Because Qin Mu proved Yuanzi’s innocence today, the atmosphere in the car was a little ambiguous.
“Brother Qin Mu, thank you so much today for proving my innocence.” Yuanzi changed her previous carefree image and seemed to become delicate and weak, with her face flushed.
The environment in the car was very dark, but Qin Mu’s eyesight was still good. However, considering that Haibara Ai was still here, Qin Mu also changed the subject.
However, this also brought Qin Mu and Yuanzi closer together.
Haibara Ai sat in the middle, holding the doll, feeling the space around her getting smaller and smaller. She kept rolling her eyes and was curious about why the two of them were so talkative.
I don’t know why, but I still feel a little sad.
When the car stopped at Qin Mu’s doorstep, Qin Mu got out with Huihara Ai. The car window was rolled down and Sonoko stuck her head out. “Brother Qin Mu, do you want to go to see Ito Tamonsuke’s troupe and watch the drama performance tomorrow? Xiaolan and the others will also go.”
She was worried that Qin Mu would not agree, so she just took Xiaolan with her. What’s more, if Qin Mu went, he would definitely bring Xiaoai with him, and Xiaolan might be able to help take care of her. Then… she would have time to spend with Qin Mu.
Qin Mu agreed and looked at Huihara Ai again.
Haibara Ai originally wanted to refuse, but finally agreed.
He said silently in his heart that the main reason he went there was to observe Conan, and then to keep an eye on Qin Mu, so as not to let him do anything to flirt with other girls. Didn’t he see the lesson of Fujino Takao?
After returning home, Qin Mu immediately occupied the computer and looked up the information of Ito Tamonsuke’s troupe. Looking at the actor information above, Qin Mu felt somewhat familiar. After seeing that the location was Kinmaru-za, he was a little surprised.
Because he thought of some cases that should have happened before, but he didn’t expect them to appear now. The world of Conan is so confusing and he really can’t understand it.
Haibara Ai was sitting on the bed sulking. She didn’t know why, but she was just angry.
When Qin Mu finished using the computer, he also walked over with a smile, “You can go out and play for a day tomorrow, why aren’t you happy?”
Huiyuan Ai sneered, “It’s none of your business. I’m happy.”
“Shouldn’t you smile if you’re happy? Why are you looking so gloomy?” Qin Mu joked, “Is it because I’m occupying your computer? I’m giving way to you.”
Seeing that she was still unhappy, Qin Mu coaxed her for a while and then let Huibara Ai go wash up.
When she finished her shower, Qin Mu came out of the kitchen and handed her a peanut and blueberry sandwich. “You must not be full, so I made this sandwich especially for you. Eat it quickly and brush your teeth after you finish.”
After saying that, Qin Mu went to bed.
Ai Haibara was eating a sandwich while checking information on the computer. She didn’t go back to bed until very late.
Seeing that Qin Mu didn’t look like he was sleeping properly, he considerately covered him with the quilt again.
Time quickly came to the next morning.
“Get up quickly.” Qin Mu shouted loudly to Huibara Ai who was lying in bed.
I have already washed up and even prepared breakfast, but Haibara Ai has not gotten up yet.
Qin Mu went over and pulled Huihara Ai up.
Huibara Ai sat there as if she had no bones. She held on for a moment and then fell back on the bed.
Qin Mu was helpless. “How long did you stay on the computer last night? You were so sleepy.”
Huihara Ai said hazily: “Five o’clock.”
Qin Mu slapped his forehead and said, “You knew we were going out to play today, but you stayed up so late.”
Seeing that she still had no intention of getting up and changing clothes, Qin Mu could only start to help. He looked in the closet and took out something for her to change into.
Chapter 20 Can I have some details? (Old version)
Chapter 20 Can I have some details?
With sleepy eyes, Huihara Ai finally came out of the house in Qin Mu’s arms.
Before arriving at the agreed location, he saw Yuanzi standing in a very conspicuous place, shouting Qin Mu’s name and waving. It was difficult for Qin Mu not to see her even if he wanted to.
Qin Mu trotted all the way over and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Xiao Ai knew yesterday that we were going out to play today, so she was so excited that she couldn’t sleep, so she came a little late.”
Haibara Ai in his arms also proved that what Qin Mu said was not wrong. After all, others didn’t know that Haibara Ai was looking up information last night, so whatever Qin Mu said was true.
Yuanzi didn’t have the slightest intention of questioning it, “It’s okay, Brother Qin Mu, let’s go, Xiaolan and the others are already here.”
Having said that, he grabbed Qin Mu’s arm and walked forward.
When we arrived at the agreed location, we saw Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, and Conan already standing there.
Maori Kogoro also saw Qin Mu, “No, why is this guy here too?”
“Dad!” As the head of the family, Mao Lilan gave her father a lecture in response to his inappropriate remarks.
Kogoro Mori didn’t dare to say a word.
Qin Mu stepped forward, greeted everyone, and then repeated the excuse he had prepared.
Mao Lilan also noticed Huiyuan Ai in Qin Mu’s arms, “Wow, Xiao Ai is so cute in this outfit.”
Qin Mu also put Haibara Ai on the ground, and Yuanzi also praised her, but her outfit also attracted the attention of people around them.
After the bumpy journey, Haibara Ai became a little more sober. After listening to what Lan and Sonoko said, she noticed her own clothes. She looked down and saw that it was the pink suit that she least wanted to see. She almost wanted to kill Qin Mudao.
Qin Mu was standing there and laughing secretly. It was because you couldn’t wake up no matter how much you called out to him. So the only thing he could do was to let me change your clothes. This was also Qin Mu’s bad taste.
Everyone got in the car and headed towards their destination.
Watching the train moving forward, Maori Kogoro became excited, “I wonder if there is any good wine in that place.”
Looking at his expression and the words he said, Qin Mu could only say that he was worthy of being Kogoro Mori, as he was always thinking about drinking.
Xiaolan and Sonoko immediately criticized Kogoro Mouri who only wanted to drink.
Xiaolan said, “Dad, we didn’t go there just to drink. Have you forgotten the purpose of our trip?”
Maori Kogoro said with a serious face, “Of course I didn’t forget. Wasn’t it just to watch the opera performance of Ito Tamonsuke Troupe and to worship at the top of the mountain?”
“What else?”
“Anything else?” With the two people staring at him, Maori Kogoro swallowed his saliva and said, “How about I remind you…”
Seeing Kogoro Maori being scolded so pitifully by his own daughter, Qin Mu felt like laughing.
“When you come to Shikoku, you must try Sanuki Udon!” Xiaolan emphasized.
Yuanzi was also beside Qin Mu, telling him about the information she had looked up in advance, “Brother Qin Mu, the Shikoku Kinpira Kabuki drama is held at the Kinmaru-za every spring, and it always attracts a lot of audiences, all of whom are fans from all over the country. The Sanuki Udon there is also very good, I believe you will like it after you have tried it, Brother Qin Mu.”
“We went there this time at the invitation of Ito Tamonsuke, a man who was once helped by Lan’s father.”
When Yuanzi said this, Maori Kogoro, whose waist was bent by his daughter’s words, straightened up instantly and said to Qin Mu: “Young man, I know you are quite famous now, but compared with me, you are still far behind, hahahaha…”
Now that my daughter is at home every day, she is either with Kudo Shinichi or Qin Mu, and she doesn’t take me, her father, seriously at all. I can finally feel proud of myself.
Qin Mu subconsciously asked: “Uncle, can you tell me the details?”
The scene became awkward in an instant.
The sound of Kogoro Mouri’s laughter was suddenly stuck, and Conan, who actually solved the case, turned his head to the other side in embarrassment.
Xiaolan also hurriedly tried to smooth things over, “It’s because my father seemed to be sleeping every time he solved a case, so he was called the Sleeping Kogoro by others. As for the details of those cases, my father always remembered very little.”
Qin Mu had no intention of exposing him. He nodded and acted as if he had suddenly realized something, which allowed Maori Kogoro to save face.
Because Qin Mu cannot follow Conan every day, sometimes when a murder occurs, he is not around, so with Conan’s help, Maori Kogoro is still very famous.
As someone who knew everything, Haibara Ai quietly watched everything happening at the scene.
When the train arrived at the station, Qin Mu and others got off the train and were shocked by the atmosphere on the scene. They saw a lot of flags hanging with Ito Tamonsuke’s name on them.
Everyone came to a very ordinary-looking noodle shop with a sign hanging on it that read “Miyatake Hand-made Udon Shop”.
Maori Kogoro looked at such an ordinary noodle shop and expressed his doubts, “Are you sure you found the right place? Is this really the udon noodle shop that everyone recommends? Why does this place feel so ordinary? Is it really not an ordinary house?”
Xiaolan nodded, “Yes, it’s here, many people say it’s delicious.”
Yuanzi also echoed from the side.
Qin Mu looked at Le Kan and said, “There are still quite a lot of people here, so it shouldn’t be too bad. Let’s go in quickly to avoid being left without a seat.”
When everyone walked into the Udon restaurant, Maori Kogoro saw the dishes next to him and his eyes lit up immediately. “Isn’t this just a side dish for drinking? I’ll have a drink later, so it should be okay, right?”
Xiaolan reminded: “Dad, this is the ingredient for udon noodles, and I told you that you can’t drink today, it will delay things too much.”
Kogoro Mori had no choice but to agree.
Even though he agreed to it, I believe that he would secretly drink it before long.
“There are seats here.” Qin Mu had already found a relatively large table and called everyone over to sit down.
Kogoro Mouri and Ran sat on one side, Conan sat in the middle, Qin Mu and Sonoko sat on one side, and Haibara Ai sat in the middle.
Everyone ordered what they wanted to eat and reported it. After a while, the udon noodles were ready and placed in front of everyone in turn.
The noodles were presented in a very good manner, and it whetted everyone’s appetite. They picked up their chopsticks and started eating immediately.
“It’s really worthy of everyone’s praise. It’s really good.”
Chapter 21 I’m Not an Old Man (Old Version)
Chapter 21 I’m Not an Old Man
“This is really beyond my expectation!” Maori Kogoro exclaimed immediately after taking a bite, and then said seriously, “In this case, I will try my best.”
What are you trying to spell?
When the people who were eating heard this, they all looked over with a look of surprise on their faces.
“That’s it!” Kogoro Mouri said, pointing the chopsticks in his hand in a direction.
Everyone looked in the direction that Kogoro Mori pointed and saw a poster pasted on a window not far away.
Challenge yourself to try all the Sanuki Udon restaurants.
Qin Mu shook his head. “If uncle said that he wanted to challenge himself to drink famous wines from all over the world, I would still believe him, but udon noodles…”
Challenge yourself to drink famous wines from all over the world?
Upon hearing this, Maori Kogoro immediately became excited, “Qin Mu, I didn’t expect you to know me so well. Challenging to drink famous wines from all over the world is really a good suggestion, hahaha…”
Xiaolan sat nearby speechless for a while. Her father would become like this whenever alcohol was mentioned. Looking at her father who was getting too proud of himself, she quickly apologized for the people around him, because his voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of everyone around him.
When it comes to alcohol, both Haibara Ai and Conan think of Gin and Vodka.
After finishing their udon, everyone left the store and came to Omotesando. A kind old lady appeared in front of everyone holding a pair of crutches. “Ladies and gentlemen, I’ll lend you these crutches for a while. Just return them to me when you come back.”
Qin Mu took the things with a smile and expressed his gratitude to the old lady.
Maori Kogoro next to him said sarcastically, “Why do you need crutches? We are not that old. We are at the right age for exercise.”
Qin Mu ignored him and distributed the crutches to everyone one by one.
Everyone held crutches in their hands and started heading towards the top of the mountain.
At first, everyone was talking and laughing, and the walk seemed very easy, but before long, those who had not experienced beatings also experienced what despair was. They could only look at the stairs that continued to extend upwards, as if there was no end in sight.
Yuanzi had been following Qin Mu’s pace, but she was a rich girl after all, and had never experienced such a lot of exercise. She was already starting to feel a little out of breath, but in order not to let Qin Mu look down on her, she gritted her teeth and persisted.
Maori Kogoro was the first to give up and called everyone to stop and take a rest, panting, “How many steps are there? Why haven’t we reached the end yet?”
Xiaolan, who had already made sufficient preparations, looked at the booklet in her hand and said, “Gohonmiya said that it seems that we need to climb 785 steps to get to the top.”
After these words were spoken, not only Kogoro Mori collapsed, but even Sonoko, who had been persisting, also collapsed. They had always thought that it would arrive soon, but they didn’t expect that it was still so far away.
Qin Mu knew that Maori Kogoro had retired for so long that he was no longer fit for exercise, not to mention Yuanzi. “If it really doesn’t work, you two can find a store to rest and then meet up with us after we come down.”
“No!” Yuanzi refused immediately. He had heard that this temple was quite spiritual, so he wanted to come over and worship with Brother Qin Mu. It would be no big deal if he didn’t go.
I immediately started asking people around me if there was a shortcut to get up the mountain. The worst that could happen was that I would have to spend a little more money, which was not a problem for the garden.
Kogoro Maori swallowed his saliva subconsciously. It was not difficult to guess that after listening to Qin Mu’s suggestion, he thought that this was the best time for him to go for a drink.
Before he could say anything, Xiaolan’s eyes looked towards him, and the message in her eyes was self-evident.
In the end, Kogoro Mori was unable to express his desire to take a rest.
However, there has been new progress in the garden. She successfully found a good way to get up the mountain, which is to send it up by manpower.
“Brother Qin Mu, do you want to join us?” Yuanzi invited Qin Mu.
Qin Mu still chose to refuse. This was also a rare opportunity for training. Moreover, he knew that this human-powered sedan chair could only be lifted halfway at most, and he would have to get down and walk in the end.
Huihara Ai did not agree either, and she chose to follow Qin Mu.
Yuanzi set off alone in the sedan chair.
Qin Mu and others used crutches and set out again.
After walking for a while, they found that there was one person missing in the team, it was Kogoro Mori.
Qin Mu also happened to notice it and pointed to a wine shop, “I think he went there to drink.”
Xiaolan’s face suddenly darkened, and Conan was so scared that he seemed to see Aunt Kisaki Eri appear in front of him.
Following Xiaolan’s footsteps, everyone came to the wine house, and sure enough, they saw Kogoro Mouri holding a wine cup, happily tasting the wine.
“Dad, why are you drinking here again? Don’t you plan to go up and worship?”
Maori Kogoro drank it happily and said, “Sorry, please help me bow. I’ll wait for you here.”
Then he shouted into the room: “Mother-in-law, another bottle.”
Qin Mu had a calm expression, as he had already guessed what was going on.
Xiaolan and Conan were speechless for a while.
Haibara Ai shook her head. How come no one could see that he was such an alcoholic?
In desperation, everyone could only let Kogoro Mori wait there while they went to the mountain to pay their respects first and then came back to meet him.
When they were halfway there, everyone saw Yuanzi resting in front, panting.
Xiaolan waved and greeted him.
Yuanzi recounted her suffering, “What a bunch of people, they can only give me half, and I have to go by myself for the other half…”
Conan was still laughing beside him, and Sonoko punched him on the head, “How dare you laugh at me, little brat!”
As expected, Sonoko didn’t have much strength left, and when she landed on Conan’s head, there was no big bump like before.
Sonoko looked at Haibara Ai and was very envious.
Haibara Ai used to be a scientist, and her body had become smaller, so after separating from Mouri Kogoro, she could hardly walk, so Qin Mu had to carry her all the way up the mountain.
Looking at Yuanzi’s expression, Qin Mu had no choice but to carry Huibara Ai on his back and support Yuanzi with one hand as he went up the mountain.
With the presence of these two burdens, when we saw Xiaolan and Conan again, they had both finished visiting the temple.
Xiaolan saw Qin Mu supporting one person and carrying another on his back as they came up the mountain, so she hurried over and supported Yuanzi, “Yuanzi, you are such a fool. If you had known this would happen, you could have stayed at the foot of the mountain with your dad.”
Sonoko’s voice was a little hoarse, “Don’t compare me to that kind of person. I must pay my respects to the temple!”
Chapter 22 Superstitious Ai (Old Version)
Chapter 22 Superstitious Little Ai
“You’re not a scientist, but you still believe in this kind of thing.”
Qin Mu couldn’t help teasing Huibara Ai as she was about to pay her respects.
Huiyuan rolled her eyes and said, “What’s the big deal? It’s just a spiritual sustenance.”
Having said that, Huibara Ai walked in.
Yuanzi called Qin Mu in and prepared to worship together, but Qin Mu refused.
In his opinion, most of these gods in Japan are flashy and their origins are very strange. The key is that as a time traveler, he is not very interested in this kind of thing.
After the worship, everyone took a short rest and then started to return the same way.
Looking at the steep stairs, Yuanzi grabbed Qin Mu’s arm in panic, “Ah, this is so high, I’m a little afraid of heights.”
Conan was a little puzzled, wondering when this bitch became afraid of heights.
Xiaolan just laughed secretly.
Everyone returned along the stairs and met up with Kogoro Mori. After dinner, they went to Kinmaru-za together.
When they arrived at the destination, Miss Renhua and Ito Tamonsuke had been waiting outside for a long time. Seeing everyone arrive, they greeted everyone with a smile.
“Welcome to our place.”
Before everyone had time to chat, they heard a little girl’s voice from a distance, “Conan, Conan…”
Conan turned his head and recognized the other person, “Emi, hello.”
Huimei ran over excitedly, then looked around, “Aren’t your friends here today?”
As he spoke, he noticed Haibara Ai, who was dressed in pink, next to Conan, and his expression suddenly became a little unhappy.
Conan explained: “They didn’t come because they had something else to do.”
Huimei hugged Conan’s arm and asked Huihara Ai, “Who is she?”
His eyes were filled with hostility, and he obviously regarded Haibara Ai as a competitor and was asserting his sovereignty.
“Graybara Ai.” Conan introduced: “She is Qin Mu’s sister.”
Qin Mu touched Huiyuan Ai’s head and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect Conan to be so popular. Xiao Ai, you have to work hard.”
Conan smiled awkwardly.
Huihara Ai twisted Qin Mu’s leg without leaving any trace.
Listening to Conan’s introduction, Ito Tamonsuke and Renhua had obviously heard of Qin Mu’s name. They came over to shake hands with Qin Mu in surprise, “Are you the famous Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era?”
“It’s me.” Qin Mu nodded and started chatting with the other party.
Maori Kogoro saw this and felt sad, “But he is not as good as me.”
“Dad.” Xiaolan reminded quietly beside him.
After chatting for a while, Ito Tamonsuke opened a small door and said, “Please come in. This is the entrance to the tea room. It’s a little small, so be careful not to hit your head.”
Maori Kogoro went over first and said with a grin, “What’s that at the entrance to the tea room?”
He leaned over to go in, but ended up bumping his head right into it.
“It hurts so much.” Xiaolan and Lianhua hurried forward to help.
Xiaolan said, “Dad, be careful.”
Lianhua asked, “Mr. Maori, are you okay?”
Maori waved his hand, covered his forehead with one hand, and entered the tea room.
Having learned from the previous experience, everyone was very careful when entering, but there was no need to worry about bumping into the three little ones like Haibara Ai.
Follow Ito Tamanosuke’s footsteps and walk inside.
“Because we are preparing for the performance, it is a little chaotic.”
After passing through a door again, everyone was slightly shocked by the scene inside.
Ito Tamonsuke pointed forward, “Over there on the stage, they are determining the timing for the lift to go up and down.”
Sure enough, I saw a man in ancient costume, holding a sword, slowly rising from below.
Lianhua introduced: “The lifting platform is pushed upward from the bottom by several people working together.”
Ito Tamanosuke explained: “When the performance is about to begin, actors will come out from there to create the climax of the drama.”
On the stage, when the actor in ancient costume successfully rose up, the stage began to move again.
“That person actually moved on the stage.” Sonoko was a little surprised.
Ito Tamanosuke explained: “That is a revolving stage. There are also people pushing it from below to make it rotate. It is all operated in the traditional way. In addition, the part under the stage is called Naraku. Because it is underground, the drainage system is not very good. This also makes the backstage staff very hard-working. That’s why it is called Naraku, which means hell.”
Huimei also pulled Conan, pointed in a direction excitedly, and introduced: “The passage over there is called the flower path. The actors go from the small room inside through the audience area to the stage to prepare for the performance.”
After saying this, Huimei looked at Haibara Ai specifically, as if to say, do you know these things?
Ai Haibara remained expressionless and didn’t take the provocation from a little girl seriously at all.
Ito Tamanosuke continued his sister’s introduction, “There is a cut hole in the middle, which is similar to the lift on the stage just now. They are both devices that rise from the bottom. Then, right above the flower path, there is a device that is more like a crane. It is called a hanging tendon. The actors are suspended in the air through it to perform. The ceiling is made of bamboo, woven into a grid, so that effects such as falling cherry blossoms and snow can be created.”
“That’s amazing.” Conan couldn’t help but praise after listening to the introduction.
Yuanzi’s eyes widened. “It’s amazing. It’s as if time has gone back a hundred years.”
“That’s right.” Xiaolan also echoed.
Qin Mu had to believe that some of the ancients’ technologies were really good. With the development of the times, he believed that many drama troupes had begun to use machinery, but Ito Tamonsuke’s troupe still insisted on using this ancient method, which should be the reason for their success, because some older people still prefer this method.
Ito Tamanosuke said proudly: “It’s more than a hundred years old. Speaking of which, this Kinmaru-za was built with the approval of the shogunate during the Tenpo period, near the end of the shogunate. It is also the oldest stage theater in existence in the entire Neon area.”
Miss Lianhua then said: “It is really a great honor for an actor to be able to perform here.”
Xiaolan asked, “I heard that today’s performance is a period drama based on The Phantom of the Opera, right?”
This news was confirmed by Ito Tamanosuke, “That’s right.”
As he spoke, he briefly introduced the story.
Chapter 23 Love Triangle (Old Version)
Chapter 23 Love Triangle
“This story is set in this gorgeous stage theater. It tells a thriller about a mysterious weirdo who hides himself with a mask, an ugly mask, a pitiful singer, and her lover. It is a complex thriller full of love and hatred between the three. Today is not an opera, but a weirdo of Kinpira Theater!”
After listening to Ito Tamonsuke’s introduction, Xiaolan and Sonoko had already imagined a touching love story in their minds.
At the same time, everyone noticed that three people were discussing something not far away.
ah!
Yuanzi felt as if one of them had grown on his heart, and asked quickly, “Who is that person?”
Xiaolan quickly poked Yuanzi, telling her to pay attention to the occasion and not to be too infatuated at this time.
Huimei introduced, “That person is Mr. Rausu Tatsuhiko, who came here specially to support our performance.”
Everyone then realized that it was the sponsor.
On the contrary, Sonoko seemed to think of something after hearing the last name, “Rausu? Is it the Kansai Rausu Group?”
Qin Mu thought of the news he saw when he checked the information last night, “It seems that their president has passed away, and now his young son has become the heir to the consortium.”
Just at this moment, the three people had finished talking, the other two went to do their own things, and Rausu Tatsuhiko walked towards them.
Yuanzi’s heart suddenly became agitated. Such a big and handsome guy was actually coming towards her. She was so excited. If he started to talk to her, how should she start?
Xiaolan next to her secretly patted her on the shoulder, signaling her to wake up a little and stop thinking too much.
But before Sonoko was ready to speak, Rausu Tatsuhiko walked past her and came to Renhua’s side, “Come on, Renhua!”
Yuanzi still felt a little disappointed, because it turned out that the other person was not coming for her.
Luosu Tatsuhiko said seriously, “Don’t forget, I, Luosu Tatsuhiko, am here to cheer you up.”
“Thank you.” Lianhua turned her face away, “But in this performance, I only played an insignificant role.”
“That’s the problem!” Rausu Tatsuhiko touched his chin, “No matter how I think about it, I feel that you should be the main singer. I think we should just switch it!”
Ito Tamanosuke stood up and called him with a serious expression, “Mr. Rausu, who plays which role should be decided by me as the seat leader, not you as the sponsor!”
Luo Jiuchenyan thought in the opposite direction, with a look of disdain on his face, “That shouldn’t be decided by a weirdo!”
“You are absolutely right.” Ito Tamonsuke nodded.
Rausu Tatsuhiko said: “You don’t care about the public’s request?”
Ito Tamanosuke answered again affirmatively, “Of course.”
“Forget it then.” Rausu Tatsuhiko spread his hands, “I just want to see my childhood sweetheart make a grand appearance on stage.”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. They didn’t expect that Miss Renhua and Rausu Tatsuhiko were childhood sweethearts.
Rausu Tatsuhiko came to Ito Tamonsuke and patted him on the shoulder, “I know you have feelings for Renhua, you must like her, but if you keep dragging your feet like this, I will definitely snatch Renhua away!”
Then he left with a loud laugh, leaving only his back to everyone.
Qin Mu had almost forgotten the plot, so he was still thinking about the strange man.
Huiyuan Ai was speechless and tugged at Qin Mu’s trouser leg. “I didn’t expect that this plot is somewhat similar to the upcoming Phantom of the Opera.”
“It’s a love triangle.” Qin Mu snickered, “Who do you think Lianhua will end up with? Do you want to make a bet? The loser will have to wash dishes for a month?”
Huibara let out a mournful cry and turned her face away. She was not stupid enough to bet with Qin Mu on this as she had almost no chance of winning.
At this time, another woman came over, obviously having heard the quarrel just now, “Master, if you want me to switch roles with Lianhua, I don’t mind at all.”
“What are you talking about? Stop joking.” Ito Tamanosuke was a little anxious, and trotted to the woman’s side. “If you really want to change someone, wouldn’t it be a waste of my special invitation to you to perform?”
“That’s right.” Lianhua, the person involved, also went over to clarify, “I have always been a fan of Ms. Lu Mei. I am already very happy just to be able to perform on the same stage with you.”
Karube Asumi chuckled, “Thank you.”
Maori Kogoro was also overjoyed when he saw Karube Ashimi, “What a beautiful lady, but I think I’ve seen her somewhere before!”
Qin Mu had never expected that a stage play would actually invite her. “Kurobe Ashimi is now a very famous stage actress of the new generation. When I checked the information yesterday, I only knew that one actress was invited. It turned out to be her.”
“Yes.” Huimei held her face and said, “In fact, when my brother and his friends went to invite Miss Kabuto Ashimi, they felt that she would not agree. I didn’t expect that she would actually invite her in the end.”
On the other side, Rausu Tatsuhiko stretched out his hand, ready to make his presence felt, but Kirube Asumi had no intention of shaking hands with him. She just turned around and left. Maybe she was a little angry because he wanted to change roles.
But Rausu Tatsuhiko didn’t care, he just walked away with a joke, “Really, it seems like she doesn’t really like me.”
He almost fell down before he took a few steps. “It’s too dark here. Sorry, I’m not used to it yet.”
Karube Asumi crossed her arms over her chest, turned her head and said calmly, “Someone, come and help me put on the animal light used by the sponsor.”
Livestock light?
Seeing the confusion of Yuanzi and others, Qin Mu pointed to the ground and said, “That’s what I’m talking about.”
Sonoko said with a look of disgust: “What a dirty sticker.”
Qin Mu explained: “This is actually a kind of luminous tape. In order to prevent the actors from making a mistake about where to stand next after the stage gets dark, this kind of thing is posted. You can see that other places have also posted that kind of thing.”
“That’s right.” Luousu Tatsuhiko leaned over and touched the luminous tape on the ground. “I didn’t expect that you laymen are quite knowledgeable about this situation.”
Rausu Tatsuhiko left leisurely.
The actors on stage also began to prepare for rehearsal.
Qin Mu and the others stood there, watching quietly. On the contrary, Yuanzi found a handsome guy who suits her in the crowd again. However, when she thought of what Xiaolan had just whispered to her and glanced at Qin Mu, she had to give up.
Chapter 24: Speak Out (Old Version)
Chapter 24: Tell It
“Excuse me! Excuse me!”
Suddenly, a voice came from behind, and everyone subconsciously made way for them. Then, a man carrying a piece of wood walked over. After seeing the faces of the people, he immediately shouted at the people around him, “What are you doing? Who are you? Why did you let people in when it’s not time for the performance yet?”
This shout not only put several young people who were working on the job off, but also aroused the dissatisfaction of Yuanzi, who complained in a low voice: “What an attitude.”
Qin Mu also frowned slightly. This attitude was indeed not very good, especially since he didn’t understand the situation clearly and just shouted like that, it was really rude.
Xiaolan quickly supported Sonoko’s shoulders and comforted her, “Okay Sonoko.”
Ito Tamonsuke came over after hearing the voice. “Xiao Guo, I forgot to introduce them to you. They are Maori Kogoro, who is known as the ‘Sleeping Kogoro’, and Qin Mu, who is known as the ‘New Heisei Era Sherlock Holmes’. The others are their friends who came with them.”
Upon hearing this, everyone at the scene turned their eyes to look over. They had previously thought that these people were just Ito Tamonsuke’s friends, but they didn’t expect that among them were two famous detectives.
Asumi Kirube even came over with a smile on her face, “It’s really better to meet in person than to hear about it. I didn’t expect that Mr. Qin Mu is not only smart when analyzing cases, but also so handsome. I have always been a fan of yours. I have carefully read almost all the cases you have solved before.”
As he said this, he asked for a piece of paper, hoping that Qin Mu would leave an autograph for him.
The way other people looked at Qin Mu also changed.
On the contrary, no one cares about Kogoro Mouri. But that’s true. Seeing how frivolous Kogoro Mouri is, it’s really hard to believe that he is a great detective. On the contrary, Qin Mu is both handsome and smart. Even people who hear his name for the first time feel that he must be extraordinary.
Qin Mu did not refuse and kindly helped those who wanted autographs to sign a few.
Seeing Qin Mu surrounded by people asking for autographs, especially a well-known opera performer who was so good-looking, Yuanzi felt a little jealous. She asked Xiaolan for paper and pen and joined in, wanting to keep those more dangerous people away from Qin Mu. “Brother Qin Mu, sign one for me too.”
Xiaolan couldn’t stop Sonoko’s actions even if she wanted to, and she slapped her forehead helplessly.
Kogoro Mouri looked even more hopeless, wondering why no one asked him for an autograph.
Conan looked at Kogoro Mouri and shook his head. There was no way for his uncle to compare with Brother Qin Mu. The only thing that seemed to be better was drinking.
On the contrary, Katsuo Nabeshima didn’t care at all, still with that expression of keeping strangers away, “So what? No matter who it is, no one should disturb our work!”
As he spoke, a man left carrying the wood.
“The old host is much stricter about this.”
“My master is my master, and I am me!” Ito Tamanosuke emphasized.
“Forget it. If you hadn’t given me this meal, I would have been driven to death by debt. So basically, I still have to thank you, Captain.”
Then he called on the odd jobs to follow him down quickly to avoid delaying the rehearsal.
Because of Katsuo Nabeshima’s words, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became cold.
Karube Asumi also stepped forward and changed the subject, “Okay, the rehearsal is about to begin. Renhua, help me go to the lounge and get me some mouthwash.”
Lianhua nodded and agreed.
Ito Tamonsuke invited everyone to come to the audience seats so that they could better watch their rehearsal.
Just as Qin Mu was about to leave, he seemed to hear some sound. He turned around and saw that the stand full of lanterns behind Qingbu Lumei tilted forward and then fell down.
Qin Mu immediately rushed onto the stage and shouted, “Watch out behind you!”
Everyone’s attention was focused on the shelf that was about to fall, and they called out to Kabuki Asumi to get out of the way quickly.
But avoiding the word is easier said than done.
Kiyobe Asumi turned her head and looked at the frame that was getting bigger and bigger in front of her. She was so scared that her legs went weak and she couldn’t move her body at all.
Qin Mu rushed to her side and then pounced on her.
There was a loud bang and the shelf fell to the ground, stirring up clouds of smoke and dust.
“Brother Qin Mu!”
“Ms. Lu Mei!”
Yuanzi and others rushed over and saw Qin Mu hugging Qingbu Lumei, with his back facing outwards, helping her block the bracket.
“Brother Qin Mu, are you okay?” Yuanzi and Xiaolan helped Qin Mu up with a concerned look on their faces.
Qin Mu brushed off the dust on his body and said, “It’s okay, I’m not hurt.”
Fortunately, this is a wooden shelf, otherwise it might be cold.
On the other side, Ito Tamonsuke subdued Karube Ashimi, looked at the people below who were still in a daze, and hurriedly shouted: “Don’t look at it, call an ambulance quickly.”
“Captain, don’t make a fuss, I’m fine.” Qing Bei Lu Mei said, “It’s just a minor scratch, but thank you Mr. Qin Mu for this, otherwise the consequences…”
“That’s right.” Ito Tamonsuke also expressed his gratitude to Qin Mu, “Thank you so much Mr. Qin Mu today. It’s all our fault that we didn’t check these things carefully, which led to this accident.”
“This was not an accident!”
Katsuo Nabeshima picked up the rope and asked loudly, “Who on earth would do such an outrageous thing? This rope was cut by someone with a knife.”
Although there is a word “pot” in my name, I will never take the blame.
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Mu walked over immediately. Yuanzi looked at the scratches on Qin Mu’s body and wanted to stop him, but unfortunately he failed to stop him.
Qin Mu looked at the rope and confirmed the accuracy of what he said, “Yes, this is exactly what was caused by cutting.”
“Could it be done by a weirdo?”
Renka, who was supporting Karube Asumi, said in a low voice.
As soon as these words came out, all those who knew about it were shocked.
Ito Tamanosuke said, “How stupid! It was just a prank!”
“So what should we say this time?” Luo Jiuchen stood up and said, “If Mr. Qin Mu hadn’t protected Kabuto Asumi just now, the heroine of this play would really have to be replaced!”
“So what exactly is this story about that weirdo?” Qin Mu asked, “You should know that you mentioned it once before. Even if you think it’s fake, why not tell us about it?”
Ito Tamonsuke could only tell the story.
Chapter 25 Two Eyes (Old Version)
Chapter 25 Two Eyes
“At first I really thought it was just a prank by someone and didn’t take it seriously because he didn’t seem to want to do anything. He just suddenly appeared somewhere and scared others.” Ito Tamonsuke said, “But later, I received ten letters like this.”
As he spoke, he took out all the letters he had received from an envelope and handed them to Qin Mu.
After reading the letter, Qin Mu immediately understood its meaning, “Change the heroine to Lianhua?”
Hearing Qin Mu say this, those who had already read the letter were very surprised.
Rausu Tatsuhiko smiled and said, “You are indeed the Sherlock Holmes of the new Heisei era. You understood the meaning of it just by taking a glance at it?”
Sonoko and Xiaolan were holding the letter. Especially when they saw the ending, the two girls were so scared that they hugged each other, “Is there really a weirdo?”
Qin Mu didn’t care at all. “I don’t know if there are any weirdos, but I only know that someone is definitely playing the role of a weirdo. As for why, I haven’t figured it out yet. There are really too few clues.”
Maori Kogoro looked at the letter in his hand, still a little confused, not knowing what Qin Mu was talking about, but after Conan whispered in his ear, he finally realized what was going on, and then punched Conan in anger, “Do you want me to tell you? Do you think I, the famous sleeping Kogoro, can’t see it?”
Conan covered his head with a look of resentment.
Haibara Ai stood aside, just watching quietly, saying nothing.
Qin Mu returned the letter. “No matter who the person playing the weirdo is, the most critical situation now is that Miss Kabuto Asumi’s safety has been threatened. If it is really impossible, can we temporarily stop the performance…”
Qingwu Asumi also understood that Qin Mu was thinking about her, and gave him a grateful look that also contained determination.
“There’s no need to stop the performance or change the protagonist.” Kabuto Asami said firmly, “Now I feel my fighting spirit is even stronger. I won’t let that weirdo succeed. I think you think the same, Captain.”
He turned his gaze to Ito Tamanosuke.
Ito Tamonsuke also nodded, wondering if he was somewhat influenced by what Kabushige Asumi had just said.
“Since we are going to continue, please make room for me. I need to go and fix it.”
Katsuo Nabeshima stood up and spoke in the same tone as before.
Sonoko glared at him and said, “Really? What kind of person is this? He still speaks in such a tone. I guess that weirdo must be him. He yelled at us like this because he didn’t achieve his goal.”
“Okay, Sonoko.” Xiaolan pulled her away.
Arriving at the lounge, Qin Mu and Qingwu Lumei simply cleaned their wounds.
After the lantern stand was repaired, the rehearsal continued.
When the rehearsal was over, Kirube Asami changed her clothes in the lounge and appeared in front of Qin Mu and the others. “Mr. Qin Mu, thank you for saving my life today. How about I treat you and let’s go to the restaurant for a drink together?”
When he heard about wine, Maori Kogoro helped Qin Mu to agree without thinking. Qin Mu smiled and did not refuse.
“Ms. Lu Mei, you have a performance tomorrow, so drinking wouldn’t be a bad idea, would it?”
When Lianhua heard about drinking, she also tried to persuade them in a friendly way.
Kabushige Asumi patted her hands and said, “I have been a stage actor for so many years. Do you know when I have ever made a mistake on stage? I still have some self-control.”
Upon hearing this, Xiaolan pinched Kogoro Maori and stared at her father. Her eyes spoke for themselves: Look at him, why does he have such strong self-control, and what about you?
Looking at his daughter’s expression, Kogoro Maori also looked aggrieved. It was really an unexpected disaster. The key point was that he didn’t dare to refute a word, otherwise it would be difficult for him to drink again in the future.
Kirube Asumi and Qin Mu walked in the front. Kirube Asumi asked questions about all sorts of things, including some that she didn’t understand when she was looking at the case before. Qin Mu was also very patient in helping her answer them.
Xiaolan, who was following behind, felt as if her arm was being tightly grasped by something, and the grip was getting tighter and tighter.
No need to guess, it’s definitely Yuanzi.
Xiaolan followed the direction of Yuanzi’s eyes and saw the backs of Qin Mu and Qing Bei Lu Mei. She subconsciously said, “Brother Qin Mu and Miss Lu Mei seem to be a good match.”
In an instant, Xiaolan felt that two pairs of murderous eyes were staring at her.
“Forehead!”
Xiaolan smiled awkwardly. She realized that she seemed to have said something wrong. However, one of the pair of murderous eyes belonged to her good friend Sonoko. So whose was the other pair?
“But it’s all your fault for not working hard. It’s been so long and you still haven’t won.”
Yuanzi’s expression turned into a very pitiful one, with tears in her eyes, as if she was about to cry in the next second, “Lan, then you must stand by me and help me in the future.”
“Okay, okay.” Xiaolan said as if she was comforting a little girl, “Don’t worry, I will definitely stand by your side.”
When they arrived at a restaurant, Qin Mu had just sat down when Kiribe Asumi sat next to him. On the other side of Qin Mu sat Huihara Ai.
Sonoko wanted to cry but had no tears. She went to the side of Haibara Ai and said, “Ai, how about you give up this seat to me? I will buy you any dolls you want in the future, and you can sit with Conan and the others. Children should sit with other children.”
“No!” Haibara Ai refused without even thinking about it. Even the condition of sitting with Conan failed to impress her.
When the dishes were served one by one, everyone started to eat.
The next day, Qin Mu and others got up early and rushed to the scene. They first conducted a simple inspection to try to ensure that there would be no problems during the performance.
Then everyone came to the auditorium and started watching the performance together.
The show began and the lights dimmed.
Soon, Kogoro Mori fell drowsy.
After Kirube Asumi appeared, Qin Mu noticed that something seemed wrong with her eyes. Normally, she should look at the person who was speaking and be ready to continue the performance at any time, but she seemed to be always looking…upwards.
Qin Mu raised his head following her gaze and looked over. Sure enough, he saw a dark figure with red eyes walking over cautiously.
Qin Mu immediately realized something was wrong, “Yuanzi, please help me take care of Xiao Ai, I’m going to go out for a while and will be back soon!”
Chapter 26: Finally saw a living person (old version)
Chapter 26 Finally saw a living person
When such a performance accident occurred, the audience in the audience was talking about it for a while.
“What’s going on? Why aren’t you talking? Has something happened?”
“What’s that sound? I seem to hear the croaking of frogs.”
Xiaolan and others who knew some of the situation also frowned, but Kogoro Mouri was the only one who was still sleeping leisurely and didn’t notice anything at all.
“It’s the same with this one.” Xiaolan covered her chest with her hands and said with some fear, “It’s the same as the Phantom of the Opera!”
“No way.” Yuanzi also looked over with a surprised look.
Conan also noticed something was wrong, and took advantage of his short stature to sneak out.
I hadn’t taken a few steps when I bumped into the person in front of me.
“sorry……”
Conan hadn’t finished his apology yet. With the help of the dim light, he could see clearly that the person in front of him was Qin Mu, “Brother Qin Mu…”
Just as he was about to say hello, Qin Mu covered his mouth with his hand, “Keep your voice down!”
After making sure that no one noticed, Qin Mu let go of his hand and said, “You little brat, why are you running here instead of just watching the play?”
Conan touched the back of his head and said, “Brother Qin Mu, I saw a figure up there, so I wanted to go up and take a look.”
“Okay, let’s go together and be careful.” Qin Mu said, and took Conan to a ladder and climbed up. Before they climbed a few steps, the entrance above was opened.
“You can’t go up there.” Katsuo Nabeshima stood in front of Qin Mu and Conan. “Don’t you know that if outsiders enter rashly, it will easily cause mistakes in the stage play? No matter who invited you here, you can’t go up there.”
Conan was about to say a few nice words and run away, but Qin Mu didn’t care about that. There was no place I couldn’t go, and while Katsuo Nabeshima was putting her head back, he immediately used time pause.
He bypassed Katsuo Nabeshima and went upstairs, searching carefully, but didn’t see a single person, and there was no other exit.
Just as Qin Mu was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a projector in an inconspicuous corner. He put on gloves and picked it up to check. It was a projector that could control time.
Considering the strange behavior of Kirube Asumi, Qin Mu immediately guessed that the so-called weirdo should be her.
However, what Qin Mu didn’t understand was that this weirdo asked for Renhua to replace Kirube Asumi as the heroine. Now that he discovered that this weirdo was Kirube Asumi, what was her purpose in doing this and why did she go to such great lengths to act?
Qin Mu returned to his original position, ended the time pause, and took Conan back to the audience seats.
Seeing Qin Mu coming back, Huiyuan Ai asked in a low voice, “What happened?”
Qin Mu cleaned up in silence.
At the same time, the opera was suspended, allowing Miss Renhua to temporarily replace Asumi Kirube as the heroine and continue the performance.
However, backstage, they also discovered the problem. The reason why Akemi Kirube couldn’t speak was because someone replaced her mouthwash.
The following performance also went very smoothly and ended successfully.
The mistakes that occurred in the middle were also regarded by people as gimmicks for the troupe to attract people to watch.
After everyone left, Qin Mu and others were invited to the backstage and checked Qingwu Asumi’s room. The result was the same as before, nothing was found.
Qin Mu knew in his heart that it must have been Qingbu Lumei who replaced it herself, but this also made him even more confused. He wanted to figure out why the other party spent such a huge price.
However, the next morning, when Qin Mu and his men were having breakfast, they saw Kataoka Renka jogging over, shouting breathlessly, “Something happened, Tamonsuke was arrested, and Mr. Katsuo Nabeshima was also killed.”
What!
Everyone was shocked. This was a big deal.
Qin Mu sighed in his heart, what is coming will eventually come, and the journey with Conan really couldn’t end peacefully.
Qin Mu didn’t feel anything about the murder of Katsuo Kobe. After all, this person had stopped him from looking for clues before, and he had such a bad temper. In this world, things could happen at any time. If you still have that kind of temper towards other people, aren’t you just courting death?
Ms. Lianhua said, “The police saw Tamonsuke in the park, and next to him was the body of Katsuo Nabeshima, so the police identified him as the murderer and took him away.”
Xiaolan and Sonoko were the first to express their disbelief, “Mr. Tamanosuke would not do such a thing. He must have been framed by the real murderer.”
Qin Mu comforted him, “Don’t worry, we are just taking him away for investigation. If there is no evidence, it is not enough to convict him.”
“That’s right!” Maori Kogoro stood up, “Take us there right now. With my famous Maori Kogoro here, I will definitely be able to clear his name.”
Lianhua nodded and hurriedly took everyone to the police station.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Qin Mu and Mr. Mao Li to come back to visit us. It’s such an honor.”
Detective Onishi held Qin Mu’s hand tightly, his face full of excitement. “I’ve always heard about your legendary story, Mr. Qin Mu, but I didn’t expect to see you alive today… No, see you in person. I wonder if you have anything to do when you come to the police station this time?”
When he saw Miss Lianhua following him, he understood immediately, “Could it be because of Ito Tamonsuke’s matter?”
“Ahem!” Maori Kogoro coughed and pretended to be deep. “Yes, that’s why I came here. We have been with Ito Tamonsuke many times and we know very well that he is not that kind of person.”
“I’m afraid that won’t work.” Detective Onishi looked worried. “We know he’s a good man, but he was found at the crime scene with a weapon in his hand…”
Qin Mu said at the side: “Actually, we are here to help solve the case. If Ito Tamonsuke really committed something unforgivable, we will cooperate with the police to hunt him down.”
“It’s great to be able to work with two great detectives, Mr. Qin Mu and Mr. Mao Li. We have just questioned several relevant personnel and are having a headache.” Detective Onishi also gladly accepted.
“Brother Qin Mu, aren’t we here to prove Ito Tamonsuke’s innocence? And you should know that he wouldn’t do such a thing.” Yuanzi asked in a puzzled voice in Qin Mu’s ear.
Qin Mu explained: “It is impossible to release him without evidence, so we must prove his innocence.”
Chapter 27 Painful Lotus (Old Version)
Chapter 27 Painful Lotus
Detective Onishi did not take Renhua with him because he was worried that she would deliberately destroy evidence due to her identity.
After making sure Lianhua had left, he took everyone to the evidence room.
“Ito Tamonsuke kept saying that he was knocked unconscious, and the reason he went to the scene was because of a letter. He and Rausu Tatsuhiko each took out a letter, saying that it was from the other party, and there was a signature on it.”
Detective Onishi placed two letters on the table.
“This is similar to the letter given by that weirdo.” Maori Kogoro picked up one of them. “Could it be that this Rausu Tatsuhiko is the so-called weirdo?”
Qin Mu pointed out one of the questions, “What is this stone tablet?”
I looked at another letter again. This time the signature was changed to Tamonsuke, and the meeting place was changed to the park, but the content of the letter was not a secret code.
Detective Onishi explained nearby: “The stone tablet is inside the park.”
Then I gave you a brief description.
He handed over some photos to everyone, including photos of the scene, as well as photos of the wounds on Katsuo Nabeshima’s body. Qin Mu began to construct a picture of the scene in his mind.
The stone tablet has a base. Combined with the location of the wounds on Katsuo Nabeshima’s body, the murderer’s height can be roughly calculated. The only person who can match it seems to be Kabushige Ashimi, plus yesterday’s performance.
Could it be that she just wanted to frame Rausu Tatsuhiko?
Or is there something unspeakable behind all this?
“Besides these two, who else went to the park yesterday?” Qin Mu put the photo in his hand back on the table.
Detective Onishi said, “There is also Ms. Karube Ashimi, who was seen by Rausu Tatsuhiko. According to her own statement, she was secretly practicing there.”
Qin Mu thought to himself, it was indeed her.
Although the real murderer had been found, Qin Mu did not say it directly, but chose to wait and see.
After looking at the physical evidence and photos of the scene, everyone didn’t find anything wrong for a while, so they said goodbye to Detective Onishi and went back to see if there was anything wrong.
As soon as I arrived at the backstage of the theater, I saw a figure coming from inside.
“You believe that Brother Tamonsuke is innocent, right?” As soon as these words came out, Qin Mu immediately knew that this person was Rausu Tatsuhiko.
Lianhua’s voice was also heard, “The headmaster also chose to trust me at that time, so he asked me to replace Miss Lu Mei.”
The meaning of this sentence is self-evident. She stands on the side of Ito Tamonsuke and firmly believes that the other party is definitely not the murderer, otherwise she would not have asked Qin Mu and others for help as soon as she knew about the incident.
“Your performance was really great!” Rausu Tatsuhiko came to Renhua.
Lianhua covered her chest with her hands. “But I was really scared at the time. I was worried that the performance would fail because of me. At that time, the angel of music encouraged me.”
Rausu Tatsuhiko was a little surprised, but he had never heard the other party mention it before.
Qin Mu, who was standing at the door and listening to all this, looked at Huihara Ai.
“That’s not you, right?” Renhua looked up at Rausu Tatsuhiko.
“You’re doubting me, aren’t you?”
“I don’t know.” Lianhua lowered her head, her face full of pain, “What is true and who to trust, I really don’t know!”
Rausu Tatsuhiko came in front of her and held her shoulders with both hands. “If it’s so painful, you might as well stop acting.”
In a firm tone, “Lianhua, please spend your life with me.”
Sonoko and Xiaolan looked at each other. They didn’t expect the situation to develop into this.
Huiyuan Ai secretly shook Qin Mu’s pants and asked in a low voice, “So do you think Rausu Tatsuhiko is a good person? Why do I feel that he did those things because the captain did not agree to change the heroine?”
“Don’t talk nonsense, now is the critical moment.” Qin Mu did not answer.
Huiyuan Ai asked: “Do you already know who the murderer is?”
“How could I possibly know!”
Qin Mu directly denied it.
Haibara Ai gave an expression that said, “It’s up to you whether I believe it or not.”
Qin Mu ignored it and continued to pay attention to the developments inside.
Lianhua still chose to reject Luosu Chenyan’s kindness, “I’m sorry, my mind is full of the things of the seat leader right now, and I really can’t think of anything else.”
How could Rausu Tatsuhiko not understand what was meant? He nodded and said, “Okay, I understand. Then please tell the captain that the loss to me as a sponsor is too great, so I’m sorry, I have decided to stop.”
“How could that be!” Lianhua covered her mouth. If the sponsor withdrew its investment, wouldn’t the stage play be unable to continue even if the captain was proven innocent?
Luo Jiuchen looked into Renhua’s eyes, “But your matter with me is another matter. I will never give up!”
Having said that, he turned and walked outside. Seeing Qin Mu and others outside, he did not stop.
Xiaolan and Sonoko were the first to apologize to Miss Lianhua, “We are very sorry, we did not mean to eavesdrop on your conversation.”
Qin Mu said, “Ms. Lianhua, I just heard you say that it was a weirdo who encouraged you. Is that true?”
“It’s true, that’s why I can’t be happy from the bottom of my heart.” Lianhua nodded.
Qin Mu thought about the plot of The Phantom of the Opera and the development of the relationship between the three of them. “The new heroine is encouraged by the weirdo, which is exactly the same as The Phantom of the Opera.”
“Yeah.” Lianhua looked a little worried, “I feel terrified too.”
Xiaolan and Sonoko were still wondering, “Who on earth would do this?”
Sonoko guessed, “If it’s not Mr. Tamanosuke, it could be Mr. Rausu Tatsuhiko, or a real monster, a ghost, or a ghost.”
Xiaolan, who was already afraid of ghosts, subconsciously hugged Yuanzi tightly, “Yuanzi, you’d better stop talking.”
“Look!”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. Conan had walked into the room without knowing when. He pointed at the beam and said, “There’s something up there.”
Qin Mu walked over and said, “It’s true.”
Conan was lifted up and the things on top were taken down, and it was discovered that someone had put the loudspeaker there.
Qin Mu looked at the loudspeaker. “This loudspeaker is a wireless one, which means it could have been placed here by anyone.”
Conan said: “But this also proves that the monster is actually someone else pretending to be a ghost or a monster.”
Just then, Qin Mu’s phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Detective Da Xi calling.
“Mr. Qin Mu, good news! The suspect has now become Luo Ju Tatsuhiko, and we will be able to capture her soon.”
Chapter 28 Is It Really Worth It? (Old Version)
Chapter 28 Is It Really Worth It?
After receiving the news, everyone rushed over immediately. Seeing that the case was about to be over, Kogoro Mori also leisurely found a place to have a drink.
When we arrived at the police station, Detective Onishi came to greet us personally.
As they walked inside, Detective Onishi said, “We found a projector in Rausu Tatsuhiko’s car, and a walking stick as evidence, with his fingerprints on it. In addition, after our repeated questioning, Ashimi Karube, who was able to serve as a witness, could not withstand the pressure and told us everything. She did not go to the park to practice her voice last night. She said that because she was worried that the other party would put pressure on the seat manager to prevent her from appearing as the heroine again.”
“I see.” Qin Mu pretended to have just found out, and handed the loudspeaker he had just found to Detective Onishi, “That means it is very likely that he was the one who put it there. In other words, the reason why he was chatting with Miss Lianhua in the room not long ago was because he wanted to take the loudspeaker away, but he never got the chance, and instead we found it first.”
Detective Onishi asked, “Mr. Qin Mu, I have one question that I don’t understand, which is why Rausu Tatsuhiko wanted to kill Nabeshima Katsuo. According to Ito Tamonsuke, it might be because Nabeshima Katsuo often forced him to advance his salary and made various unreasonable demands, but Rausu Tatsuhiko and Nabeshima Katsuo didn’t seem to have any conflicts.”
“That’s not necessarily true.” Qin Mu explained, “Before, Akemi Kazube was almost injured by the lantern stand. The broken part of the rope was caused by human factors, but Katsuo Nabeshima, who was a big prop, didn’t notice it. Then during the performance, a figure appeared on it. Conan and I noticed it and were about to go up to check, but we were stopped by Katsuo Nabeshima. Rausu Tatsuhiko’s projector was discovered, and there was a video of the strange figure in it.”
“Therefore, all the signs indicate that Katsuo Nabeshima should be a collaborator of Tatsuhiko Rausu. It is not difficult to infer that the other party should be money. Katsuo Nabeshima wanted more compensation, but Tatsuhiko Rausu chose not to give it, and the two of them started fighting.”
After hearing what Qin Mu said, Detective Onishi’s eyes lit up immediately. “Mr. Qin Mu is indeed the Sherlock Holmes of the new Heisei era. He was able to analyze the cause and effect so quickly. It’s really amazing.”
Qin Mu waved his hand. “No, this is just my speculation. The most important thing now is to verify whether it is true. I will go and check if there is any remaining evidence.”
As he said that, Qin Mu looked at Yuanzi and said, “I’ll leave Xiao Ai to you first.”
Conan looked at Qin Mu’s leaving back, squinting his eyes and thinking constantly, always feeling that something was wrong.
But I also felt that what Qin Mu said was very reasonable. Yesterday, I went to check with Qin Mu and found out why Katsuo Kobe was not allowed to go up. Was it really concealed deliberately, or did she really not find out?
Qin Mu came to a deserted place, directly activated the time pause, and quickly came to Qingwu Asumi’s house. As expected, he saw her holding a bag in her hand and preparing to go out.
The time pause is over.
Seeing Qin Mu coming, she even greeted him in a friendly manner, “Mr. Qin Mu.”
“Are you ready to go out now?”
“right.”
Qin Mu pointed at the door of the room and said, “Wouldn’t you like me to come in and have a chat?”
“This…” Qing Bei Lu Mei hesitated, “Why not next time, Mr. Qin Mu?”
“Why, are you worried that you won’t be able to find Rausu Tatsuhiko when you get back later?”
As soon as Qin Mu said this, Qing Bei Lu Mei’s face suddenly changed, but she immediately covered it up, “Why would I go to him? My voice is not fully recovered yet, so I am preparing to go to the theater to practice.”
“Let’s go in and talk.” Qin Mu came closer and said in a low voice.
Qingwu Asumi had no choice but to agree, invited Qin Mu into the room, and brought him a glass of water. However, during this period, she kept looking at the time, as if she was afraid of missing something.
“Is it really worth it?”
Qin Mu spoke suddenly.
Qingbu Lumei stroked her hair and said, “What do you mean by worth it? Mr. Qin Mu, I don’t quite understand what you are saying.”
Qin Mu put down the cup in his hand, “I have seen everything. Everything before was directed and acted by you. The reason you did this was to frame Luo Ju Chen Yan. Why, is it all worth it?”
Facing Qin Mu’s questioning, Qing Bei Lu Mei felt relieved, as if she had let it go, and explained: “I want revenge, I want revenge on his father.”
“Are you talking about the former president of Luojiu Group who just passed away?” Qin Mu asked.
Kabushige Asumi nodded, “After my father’s business was taken over by him, his health gradually deteriorated, and then he died of illness. Not long after, my mother also followed him, leaving me alone. My only hope was acting. I had never thought about revenge, but I didn’t expect that one day Ito Tamonsuke would suddenly invite me this time.”
“Just like that, I seemed to hear my parents from the underworld saying to me, ‘Just take this opportunity, just take this opportunity!’”
Only then did Qin Mu understand why Ito Tamonsuke was able to invite Karube Asumi.
Kabushige Asumi covered her face. “Actually, I didn’t want to kill anyone. I just wanted to ruin this show and damage the reputation of the sponsor, the Rausu Foundation. So I planned to let Renhua take on the pressure of going on stage temporarily. She couldn’t replace me. This performance would be a complete failure. But I forgot that Renhua is also an excellent actor, so my plan didn’t succeed.”
“What about Nabeshima Katsuo?” Qin Mu asked, “Did he find out that you placed the projector on it?”
“That’s right.” Karube Asumi said, “After the performance, when I was taking my things down, I was bumped into by Katsuo Nabeshima. He blackmailed me, and my plan couldn’t be stopped halfway, so I used the same trick and tricked Katsuo Nabeshima to the monument in the park. When he wasn’t paying attention, I stabbed him to death from behind and placed the fingerprint of Rausu Tatsuhiko there.”
“In order to direct the police investigation to Rausu Tatsuhiko, I tricked Ito Tamonsuke over and knocked him out. This would create the illusion that Rausu Tatsuhiko was blaming Ito Tamonsuke for stealing Renhua.”
After hearing all this, Qin Mu applauded, “This is a really good self-description. If it were someone else, they might have really been fooled by you.”
Kabushige Asumi smiled helplessly and stretched out her hands, signaling Qin Mu to take her away. “Actually, when I saw you and Maori Kogoro coming over, my heart was already half cold. Being captured by my idol is not bad at all.”
[Lock-picking skills obtained through the entry system]Chapter 29: Sonoko’s Thoughts (Old Version)
Chapter 29 Sonoko’s Thoughts
“When did I ever say I was going to arrest you?”
Qin Mu drank the water in the cup with a smile on his face.
I was still thinking about the lock-picking skills I had just acquired. Could it be that by influencing a person, I could also gain an entry?
Qingbe Asumi looked at Qin Mu in astonishment, “You won’t arrest me?”
“Yes.” Qin Mu nodded. “I now understand your difficulties. Since the Luoju Group is unkind, why can’t we blame you for being unjust?”
Then he said earnestly: “But I hope you can correct your mistakes in the future and not make these mistakes again.”
Faced with Qin Mu’s teachings, Qingbu Asumi couldn’t help crying out loud. It was the first time she felt warmth since her parents passed away.
Qin Mu also quickly said a few words of comfort to help her calm down.
Qin Mu took out the package from her hand and said, “I know you are going to do something next. Don’t do it. Stay at home. Just like before, if the police ask you anything, pretend that you don’t know anything. And stick to your testimony. You are lying because you are afraid that the Rausu Group will not let you play the leading role.”
“I understand.” After Qin Mu’s instructions, Qingbu Lumei nodded repeatedly to show that she understood.
Qin Mu stood up, took the package and left. The next step was to eliminate the clues.
Qin Mu used time stop and started his action.
He first disposed of the package containing the monster costumes in his hand, and then rushed to the stage to replace the luminous tape that Akira Asumi had torn off earlier.
Then he went to the police station to deal with some evidence that was unfavorable to Akemi Kiyobe. However, Qin Mu did not deal with some evidence that might cause fingerprints to be covered, so these would not affect anything.
This whole process was very easy, because the only person who knew something about the situation, Katsuo Nabeshima, had already been dealt with by Asumi Kiribe.
I went back to the park and found the monument.
I saw Conan standing there, probably trying to find some clues.
Qin Mu snickered, “What a pity, little steamed egg, you can’t beat me.”
After solving all the clues here, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and found a relatively secluded place in the park to end the time pause.
Walked out and headed towards the monument.
“Conan, why are you here?” Qin Mu pretended not to know Conan was here, and asked curiously, “Did you find any useful clues?”
“Brother Qin Mu, you’re here too.” Conan came over and said coquettishly, “I actually found a problem.”
As he said this, he pointed to the base below the monument and said, “Because of the height difference, it seems that even a girl standing on it could leave a wound on Mr. Katsuo Nabeshima’s head.”
“What you said is indeed correct.” Qin Mu touched his head, “The idea is still very good, but have you ever thought about who else has a grudge against him besides Ito Tamonsuke and Rausu Tatsuhiko?”
After thinking about it, Conan felt that there really wasn’t any answer.
“So, Rausu Tatsuhiko is the biggest suspect, and I’ve also looked around the stage, and I didn’t find any other people who could have committed the crime.” Qin Mu said, “I also hypothesized that someone might have torn off the luminous tape that Rausu Tatsuhiko had touched, but when I took a look, everything was fine. In addition, you’ve learned a lot about the relationship between Rausu Tatsuhiko and Renhua from Uncle Maori, so you should know what this means.”
Conan thought to himself, this means that Rausu Tatsuhiko is the real murderer, and he is also the so-called weirdo. But why do I always feel that something is wrong, but I can’t put my finger on it. Am I really overthinking it?
Qin Mu took Conan back to the police station.
Seeing Conan lowering his head in deep thought, Qin Mu wanted to laugh. He had already dealt with all the evidence, which had become very unfavorable to Rausu Tatsuhiko.
When I returned to the police station, I just happened to see Detective Onishi personally bringing people to escort Rausu Tatsuhiko back.
It turned out that after Rausu Tatsuhiko escaped, Detective Onishi believed that as childhood sweethearts, he would definitely see Renhua for the last time, so he specially arranged for people to guard her and successfully captured Rausu Tatsuhiko.
With all the evidence pointing to Rausu Tatsuhiko, it is no surprise that imprisonment awaits him.
At the entrance of the police station, Lianhua looked at Rausu Tatsuhiko’s back in a daze. Seeing her childhood friend go in, she felt very uncomfortable. She still didn’t want to believe that the other party would do such a thing, but now the facts were before her eyes, and she had to believe it.
Ito Tamonsuke was also a little disappointed and even a little self-blameful. If he had agreed to Rausu Tatsuhiko’s request at the beginning, would things have turned out like this?
Seeing the two people in silence, Xiaolan and Sonoko kept comforting and persuading them.
Renka and Ito Tamonsuke felt better after that, but they still felt like zombies. They returned to the theater and had to explain the matter to everyone and announce their return. They couldn’t delay the performance the next day, and this might be their last performance.
After all, now that Rausu Tatsuhiko has been arrested, the Rausu Group is leaderless and sponsorship may not be available.
On the stage, listening to Ito Tamonsuke’s words, Kirube Asumi secretly looked at Qin Mu, her heart full of gratitude, and even more curious about how this man did it.
On the other hand, Conan, standing next to Xiaolan, couldn’t muster up any energy.
Conan still couldn’t believe that Rausu Tatsuhiko was the murderer, but his own reasoning had no evidence to support it.
Ito Tamonsuke was still speaking on the stage, and the general meaning was that after tomorrow, their troupe might be disbanded, but he hoped that everyone could stand up for the last time and present a perfect performance for the audience.
The next step was to accept their fate. Since Ashimi Kirube’s voice had not fully recovered yet, the heroine was still played by Ms. Renka, and the role of Katsuo Nabeshima’s big prop was temporarily played by someone more clever than Ito Tamonsuke. Then everyone was asked to adjust their state and rehearse.
At this time, Yuanzi came close to Qin Mu and asked quietly, “Now that the sponsorship from the Luoju Group is gone, do you think I should ask my family for sponsorship?”
Although Sonoko appears to be nonchalant and approachable on weekdays, it goes without saying that the Suzuki Group behind her is definitely the top group in Japan. No matter where you are, you can always find the Suzuki Group.
Chapter 30 Unhappy Ai (Old Version)
Chapter 30 Unhappy Little Ai
In daily life, Sonoko does not rely on her family’s power to bully others, nor does she rely on her family background to make friends. She is mainly worried that such friendships will deteriorate.
For example, those boys who deliberately approached her before were all after her money. She didn’t like that, and she didn’t like that kind of friends even more.
“Of course.” Qin Mu briefly analyzed Yuanzi’s question and gave an answer, “In fact, Ito Tamonsuke’s troupe is very famous, so it is definitely a good choice for you to invest in it. Especially during the interview, you can say that you support traditional culture, and your reputation will come instantly.”
“Really?” Yuanzi was not interested in money. She couldn’t bear to see the theater troupe that belonged to her friends disband in front of her, so she thought about helping. However, after listening to Qin Mu’s analysis, it seemed that she would get a good return after investing.
“Of course it’s true.” Qin Mu and Sonoko immediately began to analyze the matter. “For example, the fact that Rausu Tatsuhiko pretended to be a weirdo can be used as a gimmick and hyped up. If we also make up some love stories between Ito Tamonsuke and Miss Renka, it will definitely attract some curious viewers to watch.”
As for whether he will be sued by Rausu Tatsuhiko, he will have to get out of there first. Even if he gets out later, the Suzuki Group’s legal team is no joke.
Yuanzi was very excited and started making up a love story with Qin Mu in public.
While talking, Yuanzi’s hair slipped down and fell on Qin Mu’s arm, and Qin Mu helped her put her hair back.
Under the dim lights of the opera house, Sonoko’s face instantly turned red with embarrassment, and even her speech became a little stuttering.
Huiyuan Ai sat next to Qin Mu. Seeing the two of them chatting and laughing, as well as the physical contact, she turned her head away in anger, but still couldn’t help but secretly check.
After Qin Mu finished chatting with Yuanzi, the performance on the field was over.
Qin Mu stood up and looked at Huihara Ai’s expression. He realized what was going on. He touched her head, comforted her briefly, and then handed her over to Sonoko’s care. He went backstage to look for Ito Tamonsuke.
“It’s Mr. Qin Mu.” Ito Tamonsuke was about to remove his makeup, and when he saw Qin Mu coming, he quickly stood up and said, “I would also like to thank Mr. Qin Mu for helping me prove my innocence.”
Qin Mu waved his hand, “No need to thank me, it’s just something that happens easily. Besides, it was Miss Lianhua who entrusted me with this. If you want to thank someone, then thank Miss Lianhua. I just didn’t expect Luo Ju Chen Yan to do such a thing.”
“Who said it wasn’t?” Ito Tamonsuke sighed, “Mr. Qin Mu, please wait for a moment. After I change my clothes, we will go to eat together.”
Qin Mu smiled and said, “I didn’t come here to talk about this, but I wanted to ask, what is Mr. Ito Tamonsuke going to do after he disbands the troupe?”
“I don’t know. Let’s take it one step at a time. I haven’t made up my mind yet.” Ito Tamonsuke smiled bitterly. “This troupe was left to me by my master. If possible, I don’t want to disband the troupe, but you have to know that without sponsors, I really…”
“Actually, I came here this time just to discuss the sponsorship issue.” Qin Mu said with a smile.
“Really?” Ito Tamonsuke was a little unbelievable, “Mr. Qin Mu, you are not lying to me, are you?”
There is always a silver lining!
Qin Mu spread his hands and said, “How could I lie to you? Although I don’t have much money, Yuanzi does. You should know that Yuanzi is backed by the Suzuki Group.”
“Thank you so much!” Ito Tamanosuke cried with joy that the troupe did not have to disband.
Qin Mu approached Ito Tamonsuke because he thought that even after becoming a sponsor, the other party would not be too respectful to Sonoko, or even go beyond the scope of friends. After all, there was the example of Rausu Tatsuhiko.
Whenever someone wanted to change his role, Ito Tamonsuke would decisively refuse.
Qin Mu called Yuanzi over again and had a brief chat with Ito Tamonsuke. When the investment was really confirmed, Ito Tamonsuke ran to tell everyone the news without even taking off his performance costume.
That night, Ito Tamonsuke took the initiative to treat everyone to a meal, firstly to thank Qin Mu for his help that day, and secondly to thank Miss Sonoko for her support for the troupe.
Kogoro Mouri’s mouth was watering as he looked at the wide variety of drinks on the menu. He wished he could try every one of them. Although Xiaolan had tried her best to prevent him from drinking, he was still drunk.
Ito Tamonsuke and other members of the troupe did not dare to drink too much because they had a performance the next day, fearing that it would affect the performance.
As for Qin Mu, he had never felt anything about alcohol and didn’t drink too much.
Therefore, most of the wine went into Kogoro Mori’s stomach.
After the dinner, Xiaolan and Sonoko dragged the drunk Mouri Kogoro back to the hotel, with Conan following closely behind.
Qin Mu took Huihara Ai back with him.
Seeing that no one would notice her, Huibara Ai jumped up in dissatisfaction and punched Qin Mu on the knee.
“You and that girl named Sonoko were a little too close today!”
“Is there?”
Qin Mu explained disapprovingly, “Isn’t it because Yuanzi wants to be a sponsor of the troupe? He asked me to help him analyze the possibility. What do you know, kid? Go back quickly.”
Qin Mu took Huihara Ai back to the room.
Haibara Ai has not yet been able to adapt to sleeping alone in a dark room, so she lives in the same room with Qin Mu. Although Sonoko and Xiaolan invited her to live with them, Haibara Ai directly refused. She is not familiar with these two people and does not feel safe sleeping with them.
Of course, when Xiaolan invited Haibara Ai to sleep in the same room, Conan happened to hear it. He was extremely envious and wished he could exchange rooms with Haibara Ai. Unfortunately, Xiaolan did not invite him, so he had to sleep in the same room with Mouri Kogoro. He couldn’t sleep these days because of Uncle Mouri’s snoring.
Qin Mu adjusted the water in the bathroom, walked out and said, “Okay, the water is ready, go take a shower.”
As soon as Qin Mu came out, he saw Huiyuan Ai packing things on the bed, “What’s wrong? Are you going to go back overnight?”
“I want to sleep separately from you!” Haibara Ai put the things on the bed on another bed.
Qin Mu was wondering what happened to Xiao Ai. She was fine before and even said that they had to sleep together at night. I didn’t seem to provoke her, right?
“No, leave me a blanket!”
Chapter 31: Karube Asami’s Gratitude (Old Version)
Chapter 31: Karube Asami’s Repayment
After packing up her things, Haibara Ai went into the bathroom with her toiletries and clean clothes.
As for spare clothes, except for the pink one that Qin Mu changed into for fun on the first day, Haibara Ai never wore that set of clothes again in the following days. If Qin Mu hadn’t been watching her, she might have burned the clothes long ago.
Hearing the sound of water running in the bathroom, Qin Mu was sure that she would not come out for the time being, so he took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket. This was something that Akira Asumi had secretly put into his pocket during the dinner party. There were many people around at the time, and he had no time to check.
Qin Mu opened the note and saw a phone number and a house number written on it. Qin Mu understood immediately and was still a little excited. He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Akira Asami. Then the two of them agreed on a time and let it go.
After a while, Haibara Ai walked out of the bathroom with wet hair and a brand new outfit.
When she came out, she found that Qin Mu had already laid down on the bed and started sleeping.
Huihara Ai felt something was not right. In her impression, although Qin Mu went to bed early every night, it was impossible for him to go to bed so early.
However, although it was a bit strange, it was just that Qin Mu had been running around to solve the case today and must be a little tired, so he rested early.
After blowing her hair dry, Haibara Ai turned off the light and lay quietly on the bed.
Feeling the breeze coming from outside and the gently floating curtains, Haibara Ai couldn’t sleep for a while. Maybe it was because she couldn’t completely get rid of the fear. Whenever she closed her eyes, she would always think of Gin and Vodka.
Haibara Ai, who was just feeling a little sleepy, was suddenly awakened when she felt Gin pointing a gun at her in her dream.
I already felt a little regretful in my heart, so why not just sneak over and sleep with Qin Mu.
While hesitating, he felt a sound coming from where Qin Mu was. He vaguely saw Qin Mu sitting up from his clothes and looking at his phone carefully.
Oh no, he actually came over.
Haibara Ai quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Qin Mu came over and, with the help of the faint moonlight, saw that Huibara Ai’s breathing was very steady, so she didn’t seem to be pretending to sleep. He then put on his shoes stealthily and tiptoed towards the door.
Huibara Ai lay on the bed with her eyes closed, listening to the footsteps getting farther and farther away. She felt a little puzzled. What was Qin Mu going to do so late at night?
When she heard the sound of the door closing, Huihara Ai got up from the bed and turned on the desk lamp. There was no one on Qin Mu’s bed. She turned over, opened the door and looked outside secretly.
Qin Mu used the light from his mobile phone to check the house number. When he reached the door he was looking for, he stopped and knocked carefully.
The voice of Akemi Kirube came from inside, “Who?”
“It’s me!”
Qin Mu’s voice sounded, and the door of the room was opened from the inside. Then Qin Mu walked in sideways and closed the door at the same time.
Qingwu Lumei rushed over and hugged Qin Mu tightly.
The two people could vaguely feel each other’s body temperature through the thin clothes.
Qin Mu held her and came to the sofa.
Outside the room, Huibara Ai walked over quickly and looked at the house number above. She felt even more puzzled. What was going on? It didn’t seem like this was Xiaolan and Sonoko’s room. She thought that the two of them had called Qin Mu out in the middle of the night because something had happened.
He put his ear against the door, held his breath, and listened to the voice inside. The voice was a little soft, but he could still tell that Qin Mu was talking to a woman, and the voice was very familiar.
But then, a woman’s scream was heard from inside.
Could it be that the other person was injured and Qin Mu was applying medicine to her?
After listening carefully again, Haibara Ai reacted. Her face turned red to her ears. She clenched her fists with gritted teeth and wanted to spit at the door.
How shameless! Why are you not sleeping so late at night and doing this kind of thing?
He looked up and wrote down the house number, then ran back to the room and lay on the bed. He couldn’t sleep even more. However, when he closed his eyes, he no longer saw Gin, but Qin Mu’s figure.
On the other side, after a fierce battle, the result was decided around dawn. Kazube Asumi chose to admit defeat and surrendered.
Qingbei Asumi leaned quietly on Qin Mu’s chest, recalling the aftertaste of just now, “Don’t leave tonight, okay.”
“We still have to go back.” Qin Mu kissed Qing Bu Lu Mei’s forehead, “If Xiao Ai wakes up and doesn’t see me, she might cry.”
She won’t cry or make a fuss, but she will definitely be questioned.
Qin Mu held Qingwu Lumei in his arms, and the two of them simply kept each other warm for a while, then quickly put on their clothes and returned to the room.
Haibara Ai was lying on the bed. When she heard the noise outside, she quickly closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
Qin Mu opened the door and returned to the room. Seeing that Huibara Ai showed no sign of getting up, he lay down on his bed again and fell asleep.
The next day came. Qin Mu opened his eyes and stretched, and was a little surprised to find that Huibara Ai was not in the room.
In order to avoid letting others know her situation as much as possible, Haibara Ai stayed with Qin Mu most of the time, and would never leave unless necessary, pretending to be Qin Mu’s timid sister so that others would not notice anything wrong.
Qin Mu stood up and hurried to look for someone. He was a little worried, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Haibara Ai walking towards him. Looking at the direction Haibara Ai came back from and the look in her eyes, he had a bad feeling.
No way, didn’t she sleep last night?
That shouldn’t be the case. I clearly saw that he looked like he was fast asleep.
Forget it, I’ll just pretend I know nothing.
Haibara Ai returned to the room and also did not make things clear. Like Qin Mu, she had a tacit understanding and pretended to know nothing.
Qin Mu went to the bathroom and started to wash up, while at the same time he was thinking about how he should build his own power.
Yes, the reason why Qin Mu helped Qingbu Lumei was not only because he sympathized with her, but he was also thinking about building a power of his own.
As long as Haibara Ai stays by his side, it is only a matter of time before he comes into conflict with the winery. Although most of the wines in there are fake, they should not be underestimated.
I don’t fight a battle without preparation, so I must prepare in advance. The first thing is to create an organization.
After washing up, Yuanzi came over and called Qin Mu, asking him to bring Xiaoai to have breakfast together.
Chapter 32 First Kiss (Old Version)
Chapter 32 First Kiss
“Mr. Qin Mu, how was your rest last night?”
Downstairs, Qingbu Lumei asked Qin Mu with a smile on her face and a hoarse voice, and blew a kiss to Qin Mu.
Qin Mu smiled and nodded, revealing a meaningful expression, “Not bad.”
Haibara Ai became angry when she saw the two people’s sneaky actions, and stared at Kiribe Asumi, making her a little scared.
Xiaolan and others also came over to greet Qin Mu.
After breakfast, two cars arranged by the garden arrived and took everyone back.
When they returned to Beika Town, it was already noon. Sonoko was originally planning to treat everyone, but Haibara Ai kept saying that she wanted to go home, so Qin Mu had to refuse.
As soon as she got home, Huiyuan Ai looked at Qin Mu with fierce eyes, “I advise you to forget everything that happened just now, otherwise…”
As she spoke, Huihara Ai pressed her fingers, but unfortunately no sound was made, so it posed no threat to Qin Mu at all.
Qin Mu nodded seriously, went into the room and closed the door.
“Hahaha!!!”
Qin Mu couldn’t help it. He had been holding it in all the way just to avoid being looked at strangely by others. Now that he was home, he could finally laugh out loud.
Huihara Ai was gloomy and angrily punched Qin Mu’s chest.
The reason why he could hit his chest now was not because Huibara Ai jumped higher, but because Qin Mu laughed so hard that his stomach hurt and he couldn’t straighten his back.
There was no way. Qin Mu wanted to laugh whenever he thought of the previous scene.
When they came back, Sonoko was going to direct the driver to go eat, but Haibara Ai was sitting in the middle and started making a fuss, shouting that she didn’t want to go and wanted to go home, and she also acted like a spoiled child.
Sonoko didn’t doubt Haibara Ai because she looked like a child. But Qin Mu knew clearly that Haibara Ai had just become smaller in size. Her real identity was an 18-year-old scientist and a cold and beautiful woman. But now she was pretending to be a child and making a fuss here. This reminded people of the time when Kudo Shinichi grew bigger later and didn’t react for a while. He was still speaking in Conan’s tone. It was really funny.
Seeing that there was no way to stop Qin Mu, Huihara Ai could only sigh helplessly, go back to her room, turn on the computer to check information.
It had been a long time since Haibara Ai came out, so Qin Mu walked in and planned to see what Haibara Ai was looking at.
He discovered that Haibara Ai was looking for information related to APYX4869. Looking at her serious expression, Qin Mu subconsciously compared her with Haibara Ai who was in the car before.
Phew!
Huiyuan Ai said coldly, “Get out of here and don’t disturb me while I’m looking up information.”
Qin Mu was directly blasted out by Huibara Ai.
Qin Mu was lying on the sofa alone watching TV, still grinning foolishly from time to time. Huihara Ai, who came out to get a glass of water, saw him and slapped her forehead, feeling that Qin Mu was really hopeless.
When it was time to go to bed at night, Haibara Ai took the initiative and occupied most of the space on the bed.
Qin Mu came out of the bathroom, speechless for a while, and quickly moved Huihara Ai to the side. Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay on the bed, Huihara Ai locked Qin Mu’s arms tightly, making it difficult for Qin Mu to even turn over.
“No, what are you doing?”
Huihara Ai’s behavior left Qin Mu confused.
“To prevent you from sneaking away again!”
After hearing this, Qin Mu secretly thought that it was not good. Huiyuan Ai really did not fall asleep last night. It was really unlucky. He quickly said, “Why are you running away? I’m going to sleep, right?”
Huiyuan Ai said sternly in Qin Mu’s ear: “Don’t think I don’t know what you did last night. Do you know the real background of those people? You should know that the organization’s people are everywhere. Maybe an ordinary-looking actor is actually a member who is good at organization and killing people.”
“I don’t know why.” Qin Mu shook his arms. He felt a little embarrassed being hugged by Huibara Ai.
“Your actions are very dangerous!” Huiyuan Ai emphasized again, “Anyway, I can’t just sit there and do nothing. I have to keep a close eye on you and prevent you from going out and messing around with other girls, putting all of us in danger.”
“Go to sleep quickly.” Qin Mu asked back: “Let’s not talk about whether you can keep an eye on me or not. What identity do you have to watch me?”
“I……”
Haibara Ai was speechless for a moment.
“Okay, go to sleep. I have my own considerations and nothing will happen.” Qin Mu looked at Huihara Ai and touched her head with his other hand.
The next second, a pair of lips pressed tightly against Qin Mu’s mouth.
Haibara Ai’s face was flushed and her brows were tightly furrowed.
morning,
Maori Detective Agency.
A scream resounded throughout the room, waking up Kogoro Mouri and Conan who were sleeping.
“orchid!”
“Xiaolan!”
When Kogoro Mouri and Conan arrived, they discovered that Xiaolan had just had a nightmare, and the father-in-law and son-in-law finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At breakfast time.
Xiaolan told about the nightmare she had last night, and also mentioned the supernatural events that happened in the school.
“You said there were paranormal events at school?”
Kogoro Mouri and Conan both looked incredulous.
“That’s right.” Seeing that the two of them didn’t believe it, Xiaolan explained, “Recently, there have been many supernatural events in our school, which has made me almost mentally collapsed. The strangest thing is that these supernatural events always happen in the morning. I heard that two years ago, a student came to school early in the morning and died unexpectedly. Everyone said that it was the ghost of this student who was haunting the school.”
Then he pleaded with Maori Kogoro: “So please, Dad, after school today, can you come to our school to investigate and see if there are really ghosts.”
“Relax.” Maori Kogoro comforted him, “I don’t think it’s a prank by a classmate, it’s a natural phenomenon. Besides, the ghosts you mentioned always appear early in the morning, so it won’t affect your classes.”
“It won’t affect the class.” Xiaolan muttered softly, then slammed her fist on the table and said a little excitedly: “But I am the daughter of the famous Maori Kogoro. Since such irrational rumors have appeared in the school, do you think I can just sit back and watch?”
Before Maori Kogoro could say anything, Conan next to him immediately discovered the problem, “By the way, Xiaolan, didn’t you say it would be your turn to be the monitor next week?”
Xiaolan, who was exposed, immediately turned into a pair of beady eyes and nodded awkwardly, “Yeah!”
How could Maori Kogoro not react? He teased his daughter, “So that’s what happened. It’s you who didn’t dare to go to school so early in the morning, Xiaolan.”
Chapter 33 True and False Arata Akechi (Old Version)
Chapter 33 True and False Arata Akechi
Seeing that she was exposed, Xiaolan could only tell the truth, “Of course, if the school is haunted, everyone would be scared.”
It’s strange that Xiaolan’s karate skills can kick down a telephone pole, but she is afraid of ghosts and spirits.
Maori Kogoro immediately gave his daughter a move, “If you really see a ghost, use karate to deal with it!”
“Use karate to fight a ghost?” Xiaolan’s eyes widened. “That probably won’t work.”
Seeing that Maori Kogoro did not agree, Conan also took the initiative to stand up, “Sister Xiaolan, why don’t I go to the school with you to take a look, maybe we can find some clues to solve this mystery.”
After school in the afternoon.
Xiaolan waved to Conan who was jogging over here, “Conan, over here.”
When Yuanzi saw that it was Conan, she was a little speechless, “I really don’t understand, Brother Qin Mu is here, why did you call this four-eyed kid over here.”
Qin Mu and Huihara Ai were standing nearby.
Huihara Ai held Qin Mu’s hand tightly and stood between Yuanzi and Qin Mu.
Last night, Haibara Ai expressed her thoughts to Qin Mu, but Qin Mu still had self-control, so he didn’t do anything else.
Although Haibara Ai is a legal little loli, she still looks like a little loli, which is really not good.
Today, when I knew that Qin Mu was going to stay and help Xiaolan investigate the ghost matter, I knew that Sonoko would definitely be there, so Huihara Ai did not choose to go home and decided to accompany Qin Mu.
Xiaolan explained to Yuanzi: “I can’t help it. I was going to call my father over today, but he simply didn’t have time today.”
Yuanzi shook her head. “What ability does this brat have? If I had known earlier, I should have been Qin Mu’s investigation assistant!”
Qin Mu smiled and looked at Conan.
If Yuanzi hadn’t come to ask for help early this morning, he might have almost forgotten that there was such a plot in the school. However, Qin Mu didn’t care too much about it. In this world, except for Koizumi Hongzi, the only one who could use magic, there were almost no supernatural events. Most of them were just rumors made up by someone and then played tricks.
Conan looked at Qin Mu helplessly. Qin Mu was really a lingering ghost who always appeared by his side.
Qin Mu and others came to the teaching building, took off their shoes and put them in the cabinet.
Xiaolan picked up Conan’s shoes with a smile, “How about it, this place is bigger than the elementary school you attended, right?”
Conan nodded, looked around, and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, if it weren’t for the Black Organization, he might still be studying here.
Qin Mu put Huihara Ai’s shoes in his own cabinet.
Just at this moment, two female classmates came towards us.
“Xiaolan, why did you bring this kid to school? Is this the Conan you mentioned?”
At the same time, he also noticed Huihara Ai beside Qin Mu.
“Wow, this little sister is so cute.”
As they spoke, the two came to Huiyuan Ai and asked, “Brother Qin Mu, this should be your sister, right?”
Qin Mu and the other two have already recognized the other party, it is Tianshiro and Hidaka.
Qin Mu smiled and nodded.
The two of them quickly took out some snacks from their pockets and stuffed them into Haibara Ai’s hands.
“Brother Qin Mu, please bring your sister to play more often in the future.”
Huihara Ai was holding snacks in her hand, and seeing the admiration for Qin Mu in the eyes of the two girls, she immediately understood what the other party was trying to do. They wanted to establish a good relationship with Qin Mu through Qin Mu’s sister, but they were a little too overthinking.
Tadashi asked, “By the way, why did you come back again? Did you forget to bring something?”
Yuanzi said excitedly: “We are here to investigate the supernatural incident. Brother Qin Mu is in charge, and I, Yuanzi, am the assistant to assist.”
“Really?” Tadashi and Hidaka’s eyes lit up. After all, it was rare to have the chance to watch Qin Mu investigate a case in person. Now was the chance. “Can you take us with you?”
Qin Mu said quickly, “That won’t work. After all, it’s an investigation, so the fewer people the better.”
Tashiro and Hidaka both felt a little disappointed.
Two more boys heard the noise and came over, “There’s no ghost there.”
As he spoke, he made faces.
Everyone chatted for a while before separating.
Not long after they left, Dr. Shinde appeared in front of everyone.
Conan also looked terrified. How could he appear here?
“Dr. Shinichi?” Xiaolan and Sonoko both looked surprised.
Xiaolan asked, “Doctor Shinide, didn’t you say that you would go to the hospital in Aomori after the verdict is announced?”
“I was originally planning to go, but after thinking about it, I decided not to.” Dr. Shinde explained as he squatted in front of Conan, “I’m still worried about the patients here, and I can’t bear to leave you guys.”
Yuanzi and Xiaolan also said happily: “So, you will continue to stay here as a school doctor?”
Dr. Shinde nodded, “Yes, I came here today to explain this matter to the school.”
Just as he was speaking, Conan reached out and pulled hard at Dr. Shindou’s face, whose face was still full of fear. He pulled for a long time but couldn’t get the skin off. He asked himself, could this be a real person?
Haibara Ai stood at the back, watching Conan’s actions with a puzzled look in her eyes. What was going on with this great detective? Why did he have a hobby of teasing other people?
Qin Mu wanted to laugh after seeing this. He knew Conan’s actions very well. He just wanted to test whether the person in front of him was Akai Niide or Vermouth.
Huibara Ai patted Qin Mu, and her meaning was very clear, asking what was going on.
Qin Mu took the opportunity to pick up Huihara Ai and explained in a low voice: “He is trying to see if the Akai Akechi in front of him is actually Vermouth in disguise.”
“Vermouth?” When Haibara Ai thought of this person, her body trembled a little, and she subconsciously hugged Qin Mu’s neck tightly.
Qin Mu quickly patted her on the back and comforted her: “Don’t worry, this person is Arata Akechi. Vermouth has already left here. There is no danger. What’s more, Vermouth won’t recognize you in your current state.”
Huihara Ai said: “How could she not recognize me? She has seen me when I was a child!”
Qin Mu assured her, “Even if Vermouth recognizes you, it’s okay. Conan has had some exchanges with Vermouth before. She won’t attack here directly. Even if she really does, she won’t be able to get past me.”
Chapter 34: Huiyuan Ai wants to show her cards? (Old version)
Chapter 34: Is Haibara Ai going to show her cards?
What Qin Mu said was of course the truth. At that time, Vermouth was pretending to be Akai Akechi, and he only had a simple conversation with her, but she reacted. She just pretended to know nothing. Moreover, he also communicated with Vermouth in private, but did not tell Haibara Ai. He was not clear about the grudge between Haibara Ai and Vermouth.
After hearing what Qin Mu said, Haibara Ai was a little surprised, but her focus was on the fact that Conan had communicated with Vermouth. As a former member of the organization, even if she was just a researcher, she had heard more or less about Vermouth’s cruelty. The fact that Conan was able to survive after the communication was what surprised her the most.
I have already started to think in my heart, should I tell Kudo Shinichi my true identity?
On the other side, Xiaolan saw Conan pulling Akai Akechi’s face, and hurried over to pull Conan away, “Conan, what do you want to do?”
He quickly apologized to Dr. Shinde, “Are you okay, Dr. Shinde?”
Shinide Akechi covered his face and shook his head, “It’s okay, I’m fine.”
I was still sighing in my heart, Conan’s grip was really strong.
Conan hadn’t come to his senses yet. He stood there like a fool, staring at Akai Akai.
Shinide Akechi leaned over and whispered in Conan’s ear: “The FBI agent named Judy mentioned something to me.”
When Conan heard about Judy, he came to his senses instantly. After all, he thought Judy was a relatively safe person.
Shinide Akechi said: “She told me that there was a bad guy who transformed himself into my appearance and wanted to do something bad. Because of this, I stayed in the United States for a while. Unfortunately, Xiaoguang and my grandmother who went with me had some problems with the local climate. Then I heard that the bad guy ran away because his identity was exposed. Later, they said that they hope I will come back here.”
Yuanzi saw two people whispering and was curious and wanted to eavesdrop, but unfortunately he couldn’t hear anything clearly.
Xiaolan suggested, “Oh, right? Why don’t we have Dr. Shinde help us investigate the supernatural events?”
“Okay, okay!” Sonoko also expressed her agreement.
When Aride Akechi heard about the investigation into supernatural events, he became curious for a moment.
Qin Mu walked over holding Haibara Ai and explained things to Akai Akechi.
Conan smiled awkwardly beside him.
Arata Akechi also agreed.
“This is where the problem first occurred, the gymnasium warehouse where the sighing sound was heard!” Under the leadership of Sonoko, everyone came to the gymnasium warehouse and told about the supernatural events they had heard.
The sky outside was gradually getting darker, and it looked like it was going to rain.
“One rainy morning, some girls from the gymnastics team came here to do morning practice. There should be no one in the warehouse, but they heard a noise. They didn’t know who was crying. As a result, these girls were scared to death and ran away on the spot. When they came back with other team members, the crying sound had disappeared.”
As he spoke, he pulled down the white cloth that was covering something, revealing a desk inside. “The only thing left was this desk. This was the desk used by the boy Hosaka Hideaki who died mysteriously in school two years ago!”
Qin Mu and the other three watched Yuan Zi’s performance and wondered in their hearts, isn’t it a bit too exaggerated? Who would be afraid…
As soon as she thought of this, Xiaolan was so scared that she hid behind Qin Mu and didn’t even dare to open her eyes.
“It’s not a mysterious death at all.” At this time, a girl’s voice sounded from behind, “Hosaka Hideaki died because of bad luck. He accidentally missed a step on the stairs, and when he rolled down, he hit a fatal part. Please stop spreading rumors.”
Xiaolan also recognized the person immediately, “Sister Shumei!”
He is also one of the most powerful people in the Conan world, and is also the former leader of the karate club.
“It’s Xiaolan.” Hearing the voice, Senior Sister Shumei also recognized her and asked, “What are you doing here? Doesn’t the karate club need to practice today?”
Xiaolan stepped forward and explained: “We are here to investigate some paranormal events.”
Obviously, Senior Sister Shumei knew about it. “Are you talking about the incident where we heard someone crying? Didn’t everyone say that it was probably caused by the wind?”
As she spoke, Sister Shumei came into the warehouse and pointed at the skylight. “The lock of the skylight up there is broken, so it can’t be closed. The wind is blowing in from there, so everyone thinks someone is crying.”
Qin Mu came to the desk and looked at it carefully. “Why is Hosaka Hideaki’s desk here?”
Arata nodded in agreement.
Senior Shumei explained: “You are making a fuss. Let me tell you, Hosaka Hideaki and I are actually classmates, so I know all these things. You don’t have to be suspicious.”
At this time, the sound of rain could be heard outside. Led by senior sister Shumei, everyone trotted to the library to take shelter from the rain.
When everyone arrived at the library, they happened to see a male classmate closing the door and walking out. This person was an acquaintance of Senior Shumei.
“Shi Gu Guo Fan, where have you been? I have been looking for you for a long time.”
Shigu Guofan said embarrassedly: “I felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach today, so I asked for leave in the afternoon and have been resting in the health room.”
Upon hearing that the other party was not feeling well, Shinde Akechi also asked considerately: “Are you feeling better now?”
Shigu Kuniharu hummed, then asked Senior Sister Shumei, “By the way. Is there something you want to talk to me about, Shumei?”
Sister Shumei smiled and said, “It’s nothing serious, I’ll talk to you another day.”
Shigu Guofan nodded, “In that case, I will go to the health room to rest for a while and then go home.”
Having said that, he walked through the crowd and left.
Seeing that Senior Sister Shumei was so familiar with the other party, Sonoko asked from the side: “Is the other party also a classmate of Hosaka Hideaki?”
Senior Sister Shumei shook her head and said, “No, but I heard that he and Hosaka Hideaki grew up together.”
After arriving at the library, Yuanzi also explained loudly: “In fact, some people came to the library early in the morning and found books thrown everywhere.”
Senior Sister Shumei followed up and said, “That’s right, and all these books are books that Hosaka Hideaki has borrowed before!”
Yuanzi said exaggeratedly: “And it happened for four consecutive days. Four consecutive days!”
When the people around heard the voice, they put down their books and looked over, wanting to see who this eye-catching guy was.
Chapter 35 It Must Be a Ghost (Old Version)
Chapter 35 It Must Be a Ghost
Being stared at by so many people, Sonoko didn’t notice it at all, and continued to speak loudly: “I think it must be that Senior Hosaka Hideaki couldn’t reread these books, so he couldn’t get rid of the regret!”
Qin Mu quickly made a gesture to her to keep quiet. Xiaolan looked helpless and expressed her apologies to the people around her.
Haibara Ai also rolled her eyes. What was wrong with this woman? Why was she making such a loud noise in such a quiet library?
Conan asked from the side: “Sister Xiaolan, if the book was taken out, the library staff should have discovered it when they locked the library, right?”
Xiaolan leaned over and explained to Conan: “And I heard that these four books were either thrown behind the bookshelf or placed under the table.”
Senior sister Shumei said, “I don’t know who is deliberately playing a prank, trying to scare everyone with a supernatural event.”
Qin Mu agreed with her idea very much.
Senior Sister Shumei walked up to Xiaolan and patted her on the shoulder. “If I see this boring guy, I will definitely catch him and beat him up. You have to help me then, Xiaolan.”
Xiaolan immediately turned into a beady-eyed, “Okay.”
Qin Mu has already started to mourn for the other party. After being discovered, he is facing a mixed doubles team, and they are the former and current captains of the Karate Club. He hopes that the other party can be more durable.
Sonoko led everyone to the stairs again. Her expression was serious and earnest, and even people who were familiar with her felt a little strange.
“Finally, there is this cursed staircase. I heard that a certain classmate found the bottom of the stairs soaked with water when he came in the morning. It was from this staircase that Hosaka Hideaki fell. Could the water be the tears of Hosaka Hideaki’s curse…”
Although her performance was not very good, she still succeeded in scaring Xiaolan.
Qin Mu patted his forehead and asked, “Could it be that it rained the day before and the window was not closed properly, which caused this?”
Yuanzi came to Qin Mu and said, “Brother Qin Mu, someone always closes the window when they leave. I also heard someone say that the number of steps on this staircase seems to be different every time you count them.”
Conan rolled his eyes and said, “Then count the number of stairs.”
Upon hearing this, Sonoko and Xiaolan immediately walked upstairs, counting the number of stairs as they walked.
After the two of them finished counting, they looked at each other.
“Lan, how many did you count?”
Xiaolan responded: “12 in total!”
Sonoko looked horrified, “What’s going on? How did I count thirteen?”
“There are twelve in total.” Qin Mu reminded from below: “Yuanzi, you added one more in the end.”
Yuanzi patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, “So that’s how it is. I was really shocked.”
At this moment, the door next to Qin Mu was pushed open, and a man holding a drawing board said impatiently, “Can you guys please be quiet? You are disturbing my painting, don’t you know?”
Qin Mu hurriedly expressed his apologies, and Xiaolan and Yuanzi hurriedly ran down from upstairs.
After the other party finished speaking, he closed the door.
Xiaolan looked out the window and said, “The rain seems to have stopped.”
Qin Mu said, “Then let’s leave it at that for today, shall we?”
Yuanzi and Xiaolan both agreed. “After listening to Brother Qin Mu’s analysis, I don’t think I’m that scared anymore.”
Qin Mu came to the window and looked down, just in time to see that there was an extra table on the open space. He frowned and immediately rushed down.
When Huihara Ai saw Qin Mu’s actions, she knew that something must have happened below. Although she didn’t see what happened, she followed Qin Mu’s footsteps.
Conan is still a little weird.
At this moment, Xiaolan also happened to see the table downstairs. She just said that she was not afraid anymore, but in the next second she pointed out the window with a look of horror, “Look, what is that?”
Sonoko and the other two immediately came over and saw the table as well.
Xiaolan stuttered, “Is the table downstairs the one we just saw?”
Conan followed closely behind and rushed out as well. Only then did he understand why Qin Mu suddenly ran downstairs. At the same time, he secretly hated the two people from the Black Organization for making him so small that they failed to discover him in the first place.
Arata Akechi quickly ran down with Conan.
Qin Mu had already trotted to the table and saw a piece of paper on it, which read: [I have not yet taken revenge]Huiyuan Ai also ran over and complained: “I don’t know who is so idle that he actually moved a table to the playground.”
Qin Mu took a look at the marks below and said with certainty: “This table is the one we saw in the warehouse before, that is, Hosaka Hideaki’s table.”
Huiyuan Ai was a little surprised, “But when I came here just now, I didn’t see any footprints on the road. How did that person move the table here?”
Qin Mu shook his head. “I’m not sure yet, but moving the table here should be to expose someone’s true intentions.”
Conan and Akai Niide arrived at the scene, and Qin Mu handed the note to Akai Niide, “When I came here just now, there were no footprints on the mud.”
When the two heard Qin Mu’s words, their faces turned a little ugly, and they understood what he meant.
Shinide Akechi handed the note to Conan, “Whose prank is this?”
Conan looked at the note and analyzed: “The note wasn’t wet, so I think it was brought here after the rain stopped!”
When he was about to look at the desk, he saw Qin Mu and Huiyuan Ai looking at him. Conan quickly touched the back of his head and said coquettishly: “Haha, Brother Qin Mu, do you think my analysis is correct?”
Qin Mu just felt nauseous, but still agreed with Conan’s words.
Haibara Ai was speechless for a while. She didn’t know how Kudo Shinichi was hiding in the Mori family. Did Mori Kogoro and Mori Ran really not find out? He was so proud of himself when he saw the case. It was too easy for him to be exposed.
Qin Mu and the others returned to the building temporarily. Yuan Zi looked horrified and started again, “I can’t be wrong. The desks in the middle of the playground are the ones piled in the sports warehouse.”
They went to the warehouse just now and took a look, but it was gone.
Qin Mu leaned against the wall and said, “Yes, that’s it. I checked it and there are scratches on it.”
Xiaolan looked worried, “Who on earth deliberately played a prank and moved it to the playground?”
Sonoko said in horror: “A ghost, it must be the ghost of Hosaka Hideaki, who moved the table over there, that must be it!”
Xiaolan immediately agreed, “It’s really possible. After all, ghosts don’t have feet!”
Chapter 36 This time I’m faster than him (old version)
Chapter 36 This time I’m faster than him
“Don’t panic.” Qin Mu analyzed: “The suspect moved the table to the playground to cause panic, so he deliberately left a weird sentence on the table.”
“An incredible statement?”
Xiaolan and Sonoko didn’t go over to see it, so they didn’t see the note on the table.
Shinde Akechi said: “The suspect deliberately left a message with a pen, which said I have not yet taken revenge.”
Xiaolan asked with a look of fear: “Then…then why didn’t the paper get wet?”
A picture suddenly emerged in Yuanzi’s mind, “Could it be that the ghost used its body to block the rain and then wrote that sentence?”
Xiaolan and Sonoko were even more frightened and almost hugged each other.
Looking at the two people in such a state, Conan was speechless. When will these two people ever stop? They are obviously so afraid of ghosts, yet they are still using their imagination to make wild guesses.
Qin Mu expressed his speculation, “According to my speculation, the death of Hosaka Hideaki was most likely not an accident…”
Before he could finish his words, a scream came from the studio next door, as if someone had drunk cyanide.
When everyone heard the sound, they didn’t care about anything else and rushed in immediately to check the situation inside.
“What happened?”
Arata Akechi asked quickly.
Qin Mu looked at the man who was unharmed and his face was filled with black lines. You can eavesdrop if you want, but you are making such screams, isn’t it scary?
The man was shaking all over, and the paintbrush in his hand fell to the ground. “It seems that Hosaka Hideaki really died with his eyes open. It seems that the supernatural events in the school are really caused by Hosaka Hideaki’s spirit.”
Seeing him in this state, Qin Mu understood in his heart that this person definitely knew some inside information about Hosaka Hideaki’s death.
He immediately stepped forward and asked, “Do you also know this senior named Hosaka Hideaki?”
The man lowered his head, “Well, my name is Monobe Masao, and Hosaka Hideaki is in the art group just like me. We were both in the same group until we fell down the stairs two years ago.”
Conan, who was behind Qin Mu, stepped forward and asked, “Were you also at the scene at that time?”
Araid Akechi suddenly remembered that this person seemed to have been at the scene when this incident happened.
Faced with further questioning, Monobe Masao kept silent, “Please all of you go out. In order to catch up with this exhibition, the teacher was very helpful and let me stay in this art room alone to finish painting.”
Faced with his sudden change, everyone was a little slow to react for a while, and then the other party immediately ordered them to leave, “Go!”
Qin Mu and others had no choice but to withdraw from the art room.
When the door of the room was closed, Monobe Masao held his head in pain.
Qin Mu was more certain of his thoughts and felt a little sorry. “I thought the other party would reveal some cruel information, but it turned out to be so disappointing.”
When everyone heard this, they all looked helpless.
Xiaolan suddenly thought of something and said quickly, “By the way, should we tell Sister Shumei about the desk that appeared in the middle of the playground?”
Everyone else agreed.
Conan seemed to have noticed something. He squatted down and gently touched the ground, and couldn’t help asking himself, what is this?
Qin Mu noticed Conan’s action and squatted down. He saw the shiny layer on the ground at a glance, “This is wax…”
Just as he was about to continue, a possibility emerged in his mind, “Among the three supernatural things now, I have deduced what this cursed tear is about!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s eyes were on Qin Mu.
Yuanzi was particularly impressed. “As expected of Brother Qin Mu, he cracked it so quickly. So what’s going on?”
Qin Mu made a gesture to keep quiet, “We must discuss the reasoning together at the end, so let’s go find Sister Shumei first.”
Conan looked at Qin Mu’s back, biting his thumb helplessly. Was he going to be surpassed by Qin Mu again this time? No, he only cracked one. As long as I crack all three before him, I still have a chance. I will definitely be faster than him this time.
Everyone immediately rushed towards the library. Yuanzi asked questions here and there, trying to get some clues, but Qin Mu was too tight-lipped and didn’t reveal anything.
In the library, after hearing what Qin Mu and the others said, Senior Sister Shumei was also a little angry. “Are you telling the truth? Are you saying that Hosaka Hideaki’s desk was really moved to the playground?”
“That’s right!” Xiaolan, who has the best relationship with Senior Shumei, said, “And there’s a piece of paper on the table saying that I haven’t taken revenge yet.”
Senior Shumei clenched her fists. “I’m so angry. You should know when to joke. If I knew who did it, I would drag him here. Then I will confront him together with you!”
Xiaolan’s eyes immediately became small.
Not satisfied with this, Sister Shumei looked at Qin Mu and said, “I heard that you, Qin Mu, have also joined the Karate Club. Find the mischievous person and beat him up for me in advance, then bring him here for me and Xiaolan to fight!”
Qin Mu: …
I have already started to mourn in my heart for the perpetrator of the prank.
Qin Mu quickly changed the subject, “By the way, Sister Shumei, do you know the names of those books that Hosaka Hideaki had borrowed before and were randomly thrown in the library?”
Senior sister Shumei explained clearly and took out Hosaka Hideaki’s library card.
Comparing the book titles on the library cards, Qin Mu and others quickly found out the numbers.
Only then did I realize that these books were all professional books without exception, very boring, and few people in high school could read them.
Senior Sister Shumei saw everyone’s confusion and explained, “Hosaka Hideaki’s dream is to become a cartoonist. He often says that in order to draw interesting cartoons, he must enrich himself and learn more about things that others don’t know. You should have seen the signature on the corner of the desk. He also plans to use this signature for publicity after he becomes famous one day.”
After hearing this, everyone was also moved that such a young man with such great dreams died so early.
“I remember now.” Senior Sister Shumei said, “If we ask the principal about the playground, we might be able to find some clues. Just now, after you guys left the library, I was about to go to the bathroom. On the way, I saw from the third-floor window that the principal was standing on the playground as usual.”
Everyone separated from Sister Shumei and rushed towards the principal’s office.
On the way, Shinde Akechi joked: “I think the principal is still thinking about what kind of tree to plant.”
Chapter 37: Case Solving (Old Version)
Chapter 37: Case Solving
Principal’s office.
The principal was sitting at his desk. When he heard that he had appeared on the playground when it was raining, he was stunned for a moment. He smiled and said, “I didn’t go to the playground at all today. What’s more, when it was raining heavily just now, I was presiding over a faculty meeting. Are you investigating that supernatural incident?”
Looking at Akai Niide behind him, he smiled and said, “By the way, Dr. Niide, I want to thank you especially for teaching me the health exercises. Now my waist is much more comfortable than before.”
Arata Akechi didn’t react for a moment, he touched his head and smiled awkwardly.
Sonoko also raised a question at this time, “Could it be that Senior Sister Shumei deceived us?”
Xiaolan said quickly: “Why would she deliberately lie to us? I guess she probably mistook someone else for the principal.”
Qin Mu touched his chin and said, “In that case, let’s go ask the classmate of Sister Shumei who is in the health room. The health room is right in front of the playground. Maybe he saw the person standing in the playground?”
Everyone agreed immediately and headed to the health room.
Shi Gu Guofan was lying on the bed in the health room. Facing the questions from Qin Mu and others, he had no idea. “I don’t know. I have been sleeping on the bed in the health room since you left.”
As he said that, he sat up from the bed and pointed out the window. “Besides, you can see for yourselves here. Even if I go out, this is the first floor and I can’t see the playground at all. Even if there are any suspicious people walking around in the playground, I can’t see them at all.”
Qin Mu came to the other person’s perspective and looked out the window. Just as he said, he could only see some trees and could not see the playground at all.
I thought I would discover something this time, but I ended up making a wasted trip. I wonder how this place is designed.
Xiaolan asked, “By the way, where is the doctor in the health room?”
Seko Kunifusa explained, “He said he had to go to the driving training class, so he left first, and told me to go home and rest early, but my house is next to the school. Then again, first there was a sigh from the sports warehouse, then the hateful library, the cursed stairs, and then the desks that were moved to the playground. I really sympathize with Hosaka Hideaki.”
Xiaolan asked, “Um… I heard that you and Hosaka Hideaki grew up together, right?”
Shigu Kuniharu responded, “Well, we were together in elementary school and junior high school, but after entering high school, we rarely ran into each other. Not long after I entered this school, I was hit by a motorcycle and stayed in the hospital for nearly half a year.”
Sonoko said, “So, about the incident where Hosaka Hideaki fell down the stairs and died…”
“I didn’t know about the accident until I was discharged from the hospital and returned to school.” Shigu Guofan spoke out everything without reservation, “What’s the matter? Could it be that a classmate was really scared by the rumors? If someone is suspicious all day long and afraid of supernatural events, I think the person who deliberately set up the situation must be laughing secretly.”
Xiaolan and Sonoko looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.
After leaving the health room, everyone walked outside while discussing who was the most suspicious.
When he arrived outside the capital, Qin Mu accidentally noticed that the wooden floor looked like it had been sprinkled with water.
Qin Mu came to the mark and squinted his eyes to examine it. “When you walked by here before, did you notice whether there was a watermark here?”
Yuanzi came over and said, “Brother Qin Mu, this might have been left behind when he came back with his umbrella and shook off the rain.”
Qin Mu’s eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something, and he quickly ran towards the playground.
Conan was also slightly stunned, looking at what was different about this watermark.
Qin Mu ran to the playground, and just as he had guessed, there was a long and thin mark on the ground.
Combined with that person’s statement, I have successfully cracked the methods used in these four supernatural events.
He immediately shouted to Sonoko and Xiaolan who were still there, “Sonoko, Xiaolan, go gather those three people in the art room immediately. I already know the truth about the supernatural incident. Oh, and ask them to take their umbrellas with them.”
Sonoko looked excited and ran out quickly, followed closely by Xiaolan.
Conan looked at the watermark and suddenly, a thin beam of light pierced his head and Conan bled to death… No, Conan had a flash of inspiration and figured it out successfully.
“I see!”
Conan shouted quickly.
But Qin Mu and Haibara Ai had already walked far away, and only Akai Niide stayed there to accompany Conan.
“Conan, let’s go, Qin Mu has successfully solved it.”
Conan followed Akai Nishide and clenched his fists. Damn, he was one step ahead of him.
Shinide Akechi followed behind, looking at Qin Mu’s back, and was a little curious about how such a powerful detective appeared during the time he was away from school.
Qin Mu and the others came to the art room. As soon as they opened the door, they heard Monobe Masao’s fierce voice, “Hey, didn’t I tell you not to come in?”
Qin Mu smiled and said, “My dear classmate, are you ready to go home?”
“Ready to go home?” Mononobe Masao subconsciously looked at the table where the umbrella was placed. “We should be able to leave soon, so I took out the umbrella.”
Qin Mu and his group walked in one after another, and sat down at a random place. Not long after, senior sisters Shigu Guofan and Shumei also came over one after another, and without exception, they all held an umbrella in their hands.
It’s just that Sister Shumei’s umbrella was covered with dust, while there was still rain water on Shigu Guofan’s umbrella.
Monobe Masao was still a little puzzled as to why so many people gathered in the art room. Qin Mu saw that everyone was there, so he stood up and said, “After investigation, I now know who the suspect who secretly created the supernatural incident is.”
Everyone’s interest was instantly piqued.
Sister Shumei kept pressing her hands together, making a sound like a Kabaka bag, and her expression was particularly fierce, “So who is this person?”
Qin Mu said calmly: “First, let’s talk about what happened recently. Hosaka Hideaki’s desk was moved to the playground, and a note was left behind. In fact, everyone was deceived by this note, which led to the complete neglect of an important key point. Since the suspect moved the desk to the playground when it was raining, he could certainly use the rain to wash away his footprints.”
Yuanzi was a little puzzled and asked the question in her mind, “If that’s the case, the note should be wet, but now the note is dry, so it should have been placed there by the murderer after the rain, right?”
Chapter 38 The Source of Everything (Old Version)
Chapter 38 The Source of Everything
Others were not clear about Yuanzi’s question and all their eyes were on Qin Mu.
Qin Mu did not keep the secret, “But don’t forget, the suspect could have used an umbrella to cover the desk to prevent it from getting wet. There is also a thin rope tied to the umbrella. After the rain stops, the suspect can pull the rope to retract the umbrella. In this way, there will be no footprints left on the playground, and a piece of dry paper will appear on the desk.”
“This umbrella had been left in the playground. When the suspect pulled the rope to retrieve it, the front part of the ribs would have touched the ground, leaving traces of water all the way from the playground to the classroom floor. This is evidence. It is the trace left by the suspect shaking off the rain after retrieving the umbrella. However, the action of shaking the umbrella alone cannot completely dry out the rain. Over time, the water will slowly seep out.”
“So the suspect is the one whose umbrella keeps leaking water.”
As he spoke, Qin Mu turned his gaze towards Shi Gu Guofan, because only his umbrella was constantly leaking water.
The others followed suit and looked over.
Shigu Guofan waved his hands and said with a smile: “How could it be me, Qin Mu, you are not wrong in your reasoning, are you?”
Qin Mu smiled slightly and directly told how Shi Gu Guofan did it all. “You skipped classes in the afternoon under the pretext of feeling unwell and stayed in the health room to sleep, all for the sake of planning.”
“You knew from the weather report that there might be showers between the afternoon and evening, but you didn’t know the exact time when it would rain. You took advantage of the rain to secretly move the desks piled in the physical education warehouse to the playground, covered them with an umbrella tied with a rope, and then returned to the health room. Finally, you waited until the rain stopped and then came back to pull the rope to take back the umbrella…”
Shinide Akechi stepped forward and said, “But if someone had discovered that there was an umbrella on the desk, wouldn’t that have been discovered?”
“No.” Qin Mu said confidently: “You can’t see the playground from the first floor because of the trees. If you look down from the second or third floor, you will think someone is standing in the rain with an umbrella.”
Senior Sister Shumei also reacted, “I see, this is what the principal I saw was like.”
Qin Mu said to Shigu Guofan, “The umbrella you use is exactly the same as the principal’s umbrella that he uses when he goes to the playground every day, so it’s easy to be mistaken.”
“Hey, hey!” Seko Kunifusa said dissatisfiedly, “Just because my umbrella is wet, I have to be suspected. The reason why my umbrella is wet is that it is too dirty, so I just washed it with tap water. Besides, if this kind of supernatural incident is to be fabricated, Mononobe and Kasumi are also possible.”
Seeing that he was still being stubborn, Qin Mu said, “But other supernatural events can also point to you as the suspect. The hateful library, the cursed staircase, and the sports warehouse with the sighing sound, these three places.”
“First, let’s look at the books that Hosaka Hideaki borrowed before his death. They have been thrown around for four consecutive days. This is what is called a library filled with hatred. The four books that Hosaka Hideaki borrowed before his death were completely professional books. Not to mention reading them all, many people can’t even remember their names, unless that person is Senior Seko who grew up with Hosaka Hideaki and knows his hobbies very well.”
Shi Gu Guofan remained silent.
On the contrary, Mononobe Masao could not sit still and stood up, asking, “If you say so, how do you explain the cursed staircase? Did Seko also cause water to enter the bottom of the stairs?”
Qin Mu nodded. “Yes, you should still remember the hole under the stairs that was deliberately left to place the fire extinguisher. I think Senior Shigu used the time after school to prepare some ice and hid it behind the fire extinguisher. The ice would melt at night, and people would find water stains on the floor the next morning. Do you remember that someone coated the bottom of the hole with wax? Wax is waterproof, so people would not find that water was actually seeping out of the hole. Only Senior Shigu, who lives next to the school, could do so much preparation.”
Shinide Akechi held his chin with his hand, “I see, he must have gone home to get ice after school, and then returned to school to create confusion.”
“But why would he do this?” Senior Sister Shumei began to believe Qin Mu’s reasoning, “Aren’t he and Hosaka Hideaki good friends who grew up together?”
As he said that, he grabbed Shigu Guofan by the collar and said, “You must give us an explanation today, or I will make you pay.”
Qin Mu stepped forward to stop him, and then looked at the silent Shigu Kunifan, “The incident should have started from the warehouse where the sighing sound was heard. Those students in the sports team who were planning to go to school for practice early in the morning heard the sighing sound coming from the warehouse, and it should be done by Senior Shigu. Senior Shigu’s table tennis team also had to practice that day, so it was not surprising that he appeared in the warehouse. It was not surprising that he sighed when he first saw the desk left behind by Hosaka Hideaki, because he always believed that Hosaka Hideaki did not die in an accident at all.”
“That’s right!” Shiko Kunifu sighed, and at the same time he was a little angry, “I understood it right away. It turned out that Hosaka was killed after being bullied while I was in the hospital!”
Senior classmate Sumei and Monobe Masao were both shocked when they heard this.
Then I heard Shigu Kuniharu continue, “Didn’t you just say that I knew what books Hosaka Hideaki borrowed because I had been close to him since childhood? That’s not true. Hosaka would bring these four books with him every time he came to the hospital to see me. When I was lying on the hospital bed, he often told me stories to cheer me up. The stories he came up with based on those books were really interesting. Later, he suddenly didn’t come to the hospital to see me, and I thought he had a girlfriend and was too busy. I never expected that Hosaka would die unexpectedly. I investigated after he was discharged from the hospital, and all I knew was that he fell down the stairs and died. Until I found the desk with the signature in the sports warehouse.”
“So, I wanted to use the supernatural events to lure out the guy who piled the desks into the warehouse and caused Hosaka to fall down the stairs. But I didn’t expect to meet you, which led to my failure. Now I only have one wish, which is that I hope you can help me find the person who hurt Hosaka!”
“You misunderstood!” Mononobe Masao stood up, “Hosaka Hideaki really did fall down the stairs. This is all my fault.”
Everyone looked over.
Monobe Masao’s eyes were a little dazed, and he told everything that happened that day.
Chapter 39 This Woman Again (Old Version)
Chapter 39 This Woman Again
“I remember that early in the morning, someone delivered two new plaster statues to the school. It happened to be my turn and Hosaka Hideaki’s turn to be on duty that day. We planned to secretly move the plaster statues to the door of the art room and give the art teacher a surprise as soon as he opened the door. At this time, I was probably too anxious. Hosaka Hideaki suddenly stopped me and said that we should go directly through the art room on the second floor to the third floor. After hearing what he said, I immediately turned around and almost fell down.”
Recalling what happened that day, Monobe Masao recalled: “At that time, Hosaka Hideaki used his body to block me and the plaster statue in order to prevent me from falling, so there was a rumor that Hosaka Hideaki was killed.”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Shiko Kuniharu still didn’t want to believe it. “If that’s the case, why is Hosaka Hideaki’s desk piled up in the warehouse, covered with dust? How do you explain this?”
Senior sister Shumei said, “Because we don’t want to wipe off the dust, we want to prove that Hosaka Hideaki was in the same class with us. The signature he left behind was written in pencil. If we didn’t take care of it, it would have been erased long ago. After the accident, we found the portraits he drew for his classmates in his drawer. We were all very sad, so we specifically asked the teacher to move Hosaka Hideaki’s desk to which classroom we were in when we graduated in the future, so that he could graduate with the rest of us.”
“The teacher was a little embarrassed at first, but later the classmates donated money to buy another desk, so that Hosaka Hideaki’s desk could be piled up in the sports warehouse. If you had known this earlier, it would have been fine. However, it was only after the supernatural incident that I found out that you grew up with Hosaka Hideaki.”
After listening to what the two men said, Shiko Kuniharu finally understood, “So it’s not like someone was deliberately targeting Hosaka Hideaki, and he didn’t die unjustly.”
“Yeah.” Mononobe Masao said self-reproachfully, “I am the one who should be held responsible. It was me who suggested secretly moving the plaster statue upstairs.”
“Don’t say that!”
At this time, Akechi Shinide’s voice rang out from behind, “In fact, Hosaka Hideaki never blamed anyone. When the accident happened, I was the first doctor called to the scene. I remember that Hosaka Hideaki kept muttering to himself. He said that I must have scared the teacher by falling here so carelessly.”
As a close friend of Hosaka Hideaki who grew up together, Seko Kuniharu couldn’t help but shed tears, “He always knew how to think about others.”
Qin Mu came over and patted his shoulder to comfort him, “I think you don’t need me to help you find the murderer now, right?”
Shiko Kuniharu wiped his tears and said, “No need, but I want to thank you too. You really deserve to be called the Sherlock Holmes of the new Heisei era.”
Senior Shumei also came over, “Qin Mu, I heard from Xiaolan that you are also very good at karate, why don’t we go practice together?”
“Forget it.” Qin Mu refused immediately and pointed out the window. “It’s getting late, and we have to hurry home before it rains. After all, I don’t have an umbrella.”
“What’s the big deal?” Senior Shumei raised her dusty umbrella. “At worst, I can take you back.”
Forehead……
Qin Mu decisively refused and picked up Huiyuan Ai as a shield, “And Xiao Ai, you can’t stop it.”
“Brother Qin Mu!” Yuanzi reacted and quickly pulled Qin Mu, “Let’s go, Huiyuan Ai seems hungry.”
Haibara Ai was full of question marks. No, why are all of you using me as a shield?
Everyone eventually went back to their homes.
After returning home, Haibara Ai turned on the computer and continued studying the information while it was still early.
On the contrary, Qin Mu went out with a helpless look on his face. He couldn’t understand what was going on. Sonoko had already planned to treat everyone to a meal, but Haibara Ai refused. After returning home, she even asked him to go downstairs to buy dinner. It was really depressing.
In the room, hearing the sound of the door outside closing, Haibara Ai put on headphones and turned on the recording her sister left for her. Hearing the familiar and gentle voice coming from inside, Haibara Ai felt a warm feeling.
But what followed was confusion. During the time she spent at Qin Mu’s house, she became more and more dependent on Qin Mu, leaving her at a loss as to what to do.
After all, the Black Organization is too dangerous. Only if you have really been in it, you can understand that it is full of all kinds of lunatics who will do anything to achieve their goals. Once they are discovered, Gin’s usual approach to dealing with traitors is to kill them, or even clean up all the people around who know about it.
Even though Qin Mu kept telling herself that he was not afraid of the Black Organization, Huihara Ai believed that Qin Mu was not aware of the power of the Black Organization. It was spread all over the world and was like a behemoth that Qin Mu and she could not resist.
Thinking of this, Haibara Ai also opened the search page and prepared to search.
At the same time, Qin Mu on the other side had already bought dinner. On his way home, he heard a ringing from his cell phone. Qin Mu clearly remembered that this was the text message notification he had set for Qingbu Asumi.
But why did she send me a message at this time? Did she encounter some trouble?
I opened the text message and breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that it was Karube Asami who came to Beika Town to find him, hoping that the two of them could meet.
Qin Mu also accepted it with pleasure.
When he arrived at the door of his house, he opened it as quietly as possible, then tiptoed in and put dinner on the table. In order to avoid being followed by Haibara Ai like last time, Qin Mu took a special look at Haibara Ai’s condition and confirmed that she was concentrating on looking at the computer. Qin Mu also breathed a sigh of relief.
He tiptoed back the way he came, closed the door again, and headed towards the agreed place with Karube Asumi.
But what Qin Mu didn’t know was that Oscar was missing a little golden man of Haibara Ai, and he deceived Qin Mu again.
When Qin Mu opened the door, Huihara Ai had already noticed it. Later, when she found that Qin Mu didn’t make any sound, she realized something was wrong, so she pretended to be looking at the computer seriously. After making sure that Qin Mu had gone out, she estimated the time and slipped out right after him.
Looking at Qin Mu’s back in front of her, Huihara Ai had to see what Qin Mu was doing. She even sneaked out so late at night without eating, and she was wondering in her heart why Qin Mu came out so late at night.
However, Qin Mu in front didn’t notice it at all.
Under a street lamp in the park, Qin Mu and Karube Asumi met successfully.
Looking at this familiar face, Huibara gritted her teeth. It was this woman again!
At the same time, I kept warning myself to stay calm.
Chapter 40 Huiyuan Ai’s Jealousy (Old Version)
Chapter 40 Huihara Ai’s Jealousy
I watched the two of them sit under the street light for a while, and then move to a dark corner, where they kissed each other.
Haibara Ai almost strangled a sapling nearby that someone had just planted.
Keep taking deep breaths to calm yourself.
After a while, Haibara Ai secretly returned home and decided to continue studying the materials.
The time lasted until late at night before Qin Mu returned home.
As soon as he entered the room, Qin Mu felt that the room was a bit cold.
I don’t think I turned on the air conditioner.
Is it because the weather suddenly turned cold?
This is the world of science, so everything is possible. Qin Mu once saw it with his own eyes: it was summer in the morning with extremely high temperatures, but in the afternoon it suddenly turned into winter, and people had to wrap themselves in several layers of clothes because of the cold.
I tiptoed to the door of the room, only to find that Huiyuan Ai was still awake. I immediately went over to her and asked, “Why aren’t you asleep yet? Don’t you have to go to school tomorrow?”
Haibara Ai didn’t even look at Qin Mu, she just pushed Qin Mu away with her hand.
“Stay away from me, your perfume is too strong and I’m not used to it.”
“Perfume?”
This shouldn’t be the case. Qin Mu quickly smelled his clothes and said, “There’s no perfume smell at all.”
“That’s because you’ve been smelling it for too long, so you’ve gotten used to it and can’t smell it. I smelled it suddenly, so it felt very strong.” Huihara Ai said coldly, “Also, your clothes have been tidied. You’re usually too lazy to tidy them up, and now you’re suddenly tidying them up, which can only mean that a girl did it. Tell me, who was it?”
Qin Mu had never seen such a scene before, so he immediately turned a blind eye and pretended not to understand what she said, “What? I sorted out the clothes myself. It was mainly because I met an old friend on the way to buy dinner. He called me out and talked to me for a while. I have to take this seriously, otherwise he will definitely look down on me. As for the perfume you mentioned, I really don’t know… Oh, yes, it might be the perfume of my old friend’s girlfriend, which accidentally stained my clothes.”
“Okay, don’t make a fuss. I’m going to take a shower.” Qin Mu said and walked into the bathroom.
Huibara snorted coldly and ignored him.
After taking a shower, Qin Mu came out and saw that Huibara Ai was still looking for information. He quietly came behind her, picked her up, and then jumped up, and the two of them fell on the bed.
Qin Mu teased Huihara Ai again, but she just had a blank expression on her face. No matter what Qin Mu said or how he touched her, she just pretended to ignore him.
Qin Mu really had no choice but to go to the refrigerator, take out his treasured peanut and blueberry sandwich, heat it up simply, and place it in front of Huihara Ai.
Huihara Ai’s eyes widened, “Where did you put it? I clearly looked for it before, but it wasn’t there.”
Qin Mu smiled and said, “How about it, do you want to eat it or not?”
“eat!”
Faced with her favorite peanut and blueberry flavored sandwich, Huihara Ai finally chose to forgive Qin Mu.
That night, Qin Mu and Huihara Ai hugged each other tightly and fell asleep.
The next morning, the two got up early and started to get ready for school.
When Haibara Ai came into the classroom and looked at Conan beside her, she suddenly thought of something.
I said that something seemed to be missing yesterday. I had originally planned to find an opportunity to reveal my identity to Kudo Shinichi, but I never found that opportunity.
But yesterday I wanted to reveal it on impulse because I heard from Qin Mu that Kudo Shinichi had faced Vermouth before and survived. Now that I think about it, it is not impossible. After all, more friends mean more paths. What’s more, I am going to use my own private money to buy some equipment and herbs to make an antidote. It would be great to use Kudo Shinichi as a guinea pig to test the medicine.
But she needs to consider how much information she should reveal to Kudo Shinichi and whether to involve Qin Mu.
Anyway, Haibara Ai already knew everything that was taught in class, so she used the class time to think about it in her mind.
As the get out of class was about to end, Haibara Ai finally decided that Qin Mu should not be involved. Although Qin Mu kept emphasizing that he was very strong, Haibara Ai was still worried.
The bell for the end of get out of class finally rang. Conan was just about to go play football when Haibara Ai sat in her seat and smiled at Conan.
This made Conan a little stunned. After all, he had always thought that something must have happened to Qin Mu’s sister, so she never had a smile on her face. It turned out that this woman could smile.
But the next second, Conan felt a chill on his spine and his pupils dilated instantly.
Then Huihara Ai came up to Conan and said, “Kudo Shinichi, do you drink?”
“You…you…” Conan looked at Haibara Ai with shock, and was speechless for a moment.
“Conan, let’s go!” Genta was planning to move around during the break, but he saw Conan standing there in a daze.
“Conan, what’s wrong with you?” Mitsuhiko picked up the football from the ground, his face full of confusion. He didn’t know what happened to Conan, and he didn’t know when the football slipped from Conan’s hands.
Conan quickly waved his hands, “Haha, nothing’s wrong, I just feel a little unwell, so you guys go first.”
How could it be possible that everything was really fine? Conan’s heart was now in turmoil.
I was thinking yesterday that since Vermouth could search in high school, it is also possible to place people to search in elementary school. Now, it has come. However, the people in the Black Organization are so cruel that even their own people take such drugs.
The next second, the image of Xiaolan appeared in his mind. Since Haibara Ai is a member of the Black Organization, then Qin Mu is very likely to be one too. Oh no, Xiaolan might be in danger!
“What’s wrong with you?” Haibara Ai looked at Conan, feeling a little strange. Was there such great power in her words that Conan couldn’t react for such a long time?
Conan gritted his teeth and said, “If anything happens to Xiaolan, I will definitely fight you!”
Huiyuan Ai was even more puzzled, “What are you talking about?”
Conan saw that Haibara Ai didn’t seem to be acting, so he asked, “You are not a member of the Black Organization? Then how do you know my name?”
Ai Huihara pretended to be a victim and started to improvise. “Before, I was actually a guinea pig that they captured. They also gave me that drug. By chance, I also became smaller. At that time, they thought I was dead, so they relaxed their vigilance against me. I accidentally found your name, and it said missing.”
Chapter 41 Two People in Front of the Cafe (Old Version)
Chapter 41 Two People in Front of the Cafe
“So that’s how it is.” Conan heaved a sigh of relief after knowing that Huihara Ai was not sent by the Black Organization. “But why did you appear next to Brother Qin Mu? Could it be that Brother Qin Mu also knows…”
Conan couldn’t help but recall Qin Mu’s previous behavior, which was really bad. If he knew that his real identity was Kudo Shinichi, it could be explained.
“I don’t know.” Huiyuan Ai shook her head. She had expected the other party to ask this question and had prepared in advance. “Qin Mu is actually my relative, but there is very little contact between our two families, so he only knows that I exist, but doesn’t know my actual age. So when I came here, Qin Mu chose to take me in.”
At this point, Huiyuan Ai also emphasized to Conan: “I don’t want to involve Qin Mu-ge. After all, you know the members of the Black Organization.”
Conan’s memory seemed to go back to that night. The two people must have been conducting an unknown transaction, and they carried that kind of poison with them.
After some communication, the two successfully finalized the alliance. In the end, Haibara Ai still emphasized that Qin Mu should not be involved as much as possible, while Conan did not want to involve Xiaolan’s family.
On the other side, after Qin Mu sent Huihara Ai away, he returned to school.
As soon as he entered the classroom, a large group of female classmates surrounded Qin Mu.
“Brother Qin Mu, it’s so safe with you here. I was even scared by the supernatural events before and didn’t dare to come to school.”
“Brother Qin Mu, can you take me with you next time you solve a case? I want to see what you look like when you solve a case.”
Everyone was talking at once, praising Qin Mu non-stop, and some bold girls were secretly taking advantage of Qin Mu.
Obviously, the fact that Qin Mu solved the supernatural incident at school yesterday had been publicized by someone, but this also made Qin Mu more famous in the school.
Qin Mu finally realized that it was no wonder that several female classmates ran up to him and slipped notes to him when he was going upstairs just now.
As soon as Yuanzi saw Qin Mu being surrounded, his fists immediately stiffened. Brother Qin Mu was his, and he must not be taken away by others.
He immediately stood up and walked over, not giving anyone else any face, pushed everyone away, and then rescued Qin Mu from inside. This also meant that he had just escaped from the tiger’s den and fell into the wolf’s mouth again.
Yuanzi moved a chair to Qin Mu’s side and stayed there, chatting and laughing with Qin Mu.
Seeing how domineering Yuanzi was, the other female classmates could only mutter a few words in their hearts. After all, they were no match for Yuanzi.
Seeing how popular Qin Mu was, the boys felt a little helpless. Why didn’t anyone pay attention to them? Before, there was Kudo Shinichi, and after Kudo Shinichi took a leave of absence from school, Qin Mu stood up again and even received more attention than Kudo Shinichi.
Chatting with Yuanzi, today’s class time passed very quickly. After school, tomorrow is another very rare holiday. Qin Mu had completely forgotten that he had only two days of classes and he was going to have another holiday.
During the day on the weekend, Qin Mu held Huihara Ai in his arms, and the two of them sat on the sofa and watched entertainment programs quietly.
At this moment, Qin Mu’s cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and found that another remittance had been deposited into his card, which made him feel a headache.
Ever since the last time Akemi Kirube came to see him, she would transfer money to his card every week, making him feel like he was being kept by someone, and he felt very helpless.
However, Qin Mu can also save this money. If Haibara Ai runs out of money when researching the antidote in the future, he can continue to provide her with funds. After all, being a legal loli is not a solution. It is more important to research the antidote.
Time passed quickly and it was afternoon. After Qin Mu cleaned up the things on the dining table, he continued to sit there watching TV, while Huihara Ai returned to the room and continued to use the computer to search for the information she needed.
Although Qin Mu is very famous now, he does not have his own detective agency, so there are no cases for him to solve on weekends, so he can only lie on the sofa and watch TV. However, when the police occasionally encounter cases that they cannot solve, they will still call him for help. Of course, most of these cases happened when Kogoro Mouri was not present.
As for why I didn’t open a detective agency, firstly, I was just a student and didn’t have that much time and effort, and secondly, it would cost money to open a detective agency, and I didn’t have the money to rent a house and buy things.
Although Kogoro Mouri looks rather sloppy, the detective agency he works in is his home. There are even rumors that the entire house belongs to Kogoro Mouri.
When the show that Qin Mu was interested in finished, he stood up, stretched, turned off the TV, and prepared to go out for some exercise.
He immediately returned to his room and prepared to tidy himself up.
Huiyuan Ai, who was looking up information, heard the noise and subconsciously looked over, “Are you going out?”
“Yes.” Qin Mu put on his sports jacket and responded, “Yes, today is the weekend, and I have nothing to do. I plan to go out for a walk.”
Go out for a walk?
Huiyuan Ai didn’t believe it at all, and looked unhappy, “Isn’t that woman coming to see you again?”
That woman?
Qin Mu realized instantly that the person Huiyuan Ai was talking about was Akemi Kirube. “How is that possible? What kind of person am I? I really just went out for a walk. I watched TV for such a long time today. Isn’t it normal to exercise a little?”
Huihara Ai just looked at Qin Mu quietly, with an expression on her face that almost said, “It depends on whether I believe you or not.”
Qin Mu sighed. Didn’t he have any credibility at all? “How about you go out and exercise with me?”
As he spoke, he came over and waved Huihara Ai’s little arm, “Look, you sit here every day, your physical fitness will definitely continue to decline over time. Come on, let’s go out for a run together!”
“No.” Huibara Ai turned her face away.
Qin Mu was really defeated by her. Let me go out alone. He suspected that I was going to see Qingbu Asumi, so I took her with me, but she refused to go.
In desperation, under the threatening gaze of Huibara Ai, Qin Mu went out alone.
Just as Qin Mu was on his way to the park, he passed by a coffee shop and saw two familiar figures, one big and one small, standing at the door of the coffee shop.
Isn’t this Xiaolan and Conan?
Why are the two of them standing here?
Is Conan preparing to bring some misfortune to this cafe?
Chapter 42: Conan Goes Crazy (Old Version)
Chapter 42 Conan Goes Crazy
Qin Mu looked at the two people standing in front of the cafe and decided to go over and say hello to them.
He went up and patted Xiaolan’s shoulder, and Xiaolan subconsciously hit Qin Mu’s head with her left arm.
Fortunately, Qin Mu also had this skill in karate, and he quickly stepped back, preventing Xiaolan’s punch from missing. Unexpectedly, when Xiaolan saw that her punch missed, she immediately threw a roundhouse kick.
Fortunately, just as he raised his leg, he saw Qin Mu who was one step away. He quickly put his leg down and said apologetically: “I’m sorry, Brother Qin Mu, I thought it was a bad guy and scared me.”
Qin Mu really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Conan’s voice rang out beside him, “Brother Qin Mu, why are you here? Why can’t I see Huiyuan Ai?”
“Ah, it’s Conan.” When Qin Mu heard Conan looking for Haibara Ai, he already understood in his heart that Haibara Ai must have told Conan the truth, but Qin Mu was not sure how much she had told, so he had to pretend not to know for the time being.
He walked up and patted Conan on the head, “Conan, if you want to play with Ai, you can go to my house. She is at home now and doesn’t want to come out and run with me.”
Qin Mu asked: “But why are you two here?”
When Xiaolan heard this, she clenched her fists and said angrily, “I followed my mother here!”
“Following? Or your mother?” Qin Mu was a little unresponsive.
Conan smiled awkwardly and explained quickly, “Because when we went to see Auntie Hibiki today, we found that something was wrong with her. Not only was she not wearing a wedding ring, but she also went out happily after receiving a call from a man. Sister Xiaolan was a little worried that Auntie Hibiki was cheated, so the two of us followed her all the way.”
“So that’s how it is.” Qin Mu suddenly realized, “Didn’t Aunt Hibiki Eri and Uncle Maori divorce?”
Xiaolan said firmly, “They are not divorced, they just separated. I believe that with my efforts, they will definitely get back together.”
Qin Mu nodded, “So that’s how it is. Then you guys continue, I’ll go first and can’t run away.”
Having said that, he prepared to leave.
Xiaolan quickly stepped forward to stop Qin Mu, “Brother Qin Mu, come with us. Once we find that man, we will beat him up!”
Xiaolan clenched her hands, making a series of noises, which made Conan sweat profusely.
Qin Mu spread his hands, “But I don’t know that man, and I haven’t even met Aunt Fei Yingli.”
“It’s okay, I’m just showing it to you.”
Xiaolan walked back while pulling Qin Mu, still talking to him.
Maybe because he was too focused, he just pulled Qin Mu into the cafe.
The words “welcome” finally made Xiaolan react, and she looked at Qin Mu with an awkward smile.
“Is this your couple’s child? It’s so cute.”
The waiter was also very sweet and greeted Conan with a smile.
Xiaolan’s face immediately turned red. Just as she was about to explain, Conan next to her couldn’t stand it anymore and hurriedly stood up to explain.
“This is my sister, and the one next to her is my sister’s classmate.”
“I see. I’m so sorry.” The waiter apologized to Conan, “But little boy, it’s not nice to disturb your sister’s date with her boyfriend.”
Conan: …
Conan is going crazy. Wasn’t my explanation just now clear enough? What on earth are you thinking about?
Xiaolan’s face turned even redder, and Qin Mu quickly stepped forward, “We are just ordinary friends, please find a seat for us first.”
“I understand. I understand.” The waiter gave Qin Mu an encouraging look, which was naturally seen by Conan.
That night, the coffee shop received a lot of complaints…
Back to the present, under the guidance of the waiter, Qin Mu and the other two were brought to the table behind Fei Yingli. From here, they could just hear the conversation coming from Fei Yingli’s table, making it easier to monitor.
When the waiter came over with the coffee, he also handed a doll to Conan and suggested that he had a lot of dolls and asked Conan to play with him.
How could Conan let Qin Mu and Xiaolan be alone together? He righteously rejected the waiter’s request.
The three of them sat there drinking coffee and listening to the noise coming from behind. Qin Mu and Conan were still analyzing the situation, but Xiaolan was the first to get impatient and propped herself up on the table. “It’s no use racking your brains here. It’s better to just ask her directly!”
Qin Mu hurriedly stopped him, “Why don’t we look for him or observe him for a while? After all, we can’t be sure. If they are just friends, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?”
“That makes sense.”
Only then did Xiaolan sit back down.
At this moment, a girl with twin ponytails came over holding her dog. The man sitting opposite to Hibiki Eri also showed an extremely obscene expression, “Xiao Huihui, long time no see, you are still so charming.”
The girl also smiled and replied, “Thank you!”
Xiaolan and Conan were both shocked. What’s wrong with this person? He’s so disgusting. He even speaks like a baby.
When Qin Mu saw this, he also reacted and found some clues in his mind.
An old lady also came over and joined the conversation between the man and the little girl.
“But he doesn’t look like an affair partner. He doesn’t look like the type that Auntie likes.”
Listening to Conan’s words, Qin Mu subconsciously looked over, but Conan still didn’t notice and his attention was all on the man.
Xiaolan tilted her head and looked back, still with a worried look on her face, “But dad always gets drunk, Lanlan, I really want to drink another bottle.”
Qin Mu and Conan were speechless.
Xiaolan shouted again: “Look, why is that person’s arm full of wounds? It seems that this person is not a genuine person.”
The two men looked over quickly and saw the man looking at a dog’s ear, then he showed his arm.
Just as Conan was wondering what was going on, Xiaolan immediately stood up and walked towards the table. Qin Mu also quickly stood up and followed behind her, constantly persuading Xiaolan to calm down.
When she came to Eri Kisaki, Xiaolan found that Eri Kisaki’s body was shaking, “I couldn’t stop the shaking no matter what I did.”
As he spoke, tears couldn’t help but flow down his cheeks.
Seeing her mother crying, some bad images suddenly appeared in Xiaolan’s mind. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She raised her leg and kicked the man.
Chapter 43 What’s Missing (Old Version)
Chapter 43 What’s Missing
“Xiaolan, don’t be impulsive!”
Just as Xiaolan was about to kick the man in the face, Qin Mu quickly pressed Xiaolan’s legs down. However, this caused Xiaolan to become unstable and she subconsciously fell backwards. Qin Mu hurried over and hugged Xiaolan’s waist to prevent her from falling.
“orchid?”
When Hibari noticed the movement, she quickly looked over and recognized that it was Xiaolan.
Qin Mu was still explaining to Xiaolan, “Xiaolan, you are too impulsive. This person is just a veterinarian.”
“Veterinarian? How could this man who covets women and pretends to be childish be a veterinarian?” Xiaolan didn’t believe it. “But didn’t he just flirt with a girl? He even said, “Xiao Huihui, long time no see, you’re still so charming!”
While speaking, he did not notice the current situation of the two people.
Qin Mu explained, “I don’t think he was talking to the girl, but to the dog she was holding. After all, when examining animals, many veterinarians would speak to them in a tone like they were talking to a baby, so he blurted it out just now. By the way, the wound on the man’s hand was actually a scratch by an animal. Not all animals encountered during medical examinations are so obedient.”
Conan was standing nearby, watching Qin Mu and Xiaolan being so ambiguous, and quickly came out to break the deadlock.
“Brother Qin Mu is right.” Conan stepped forward and said, “The uncle just lifted the dog’s ear. He did that to determine whether the dog was sick based on the condition and smell of the ear. This also proves that the uncle is a veterinarian.”
Xiaolan finally understood, but now she noticed that Qin Mu was standing so close to her, her face turned red again.
Qin Mu also quickly let her go.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief.
But Xiaolan remembered again, “But wasn’t mom crying just now? She also said that she couldn’t stop shaking.”
Kisaki Eri also explained: “What? I’m not talking about me, I’m talking about GORO.”
“GORO?”
Xiaolan was stunned for a moment.
However, Qin Mu thought that Kisaki Eri had a cat named Kogoro, so this should be the one, but the cat he calls to the outside world is GORO?
Hibiki Eri said with a serious expression, “GORO suddenly started to shiver while sleeping last night, and it lasted for quite a while. I’ve never encountered this kind of situation before when raising a cat, so I was worried that it might be sick. I was so worried about it that I made an appointment with this doctor to ask him what to do. I’ve been very busy lately, so I made an appointment with him at the coffee shop.”
Doctor Hube, who had just escaped from the clutches of death, also analyzed: “It might be a dream. Some cats will play in their dreams, causing nerve reactions and shaking. So according to my judgment, there should be no problem.”
After hearing what the other party said, everyone finally understood, and Kisaki Eri was even more relieved.
Noticing Qin Mu next to him, “This must be Xiaolan’s classmate Qin Mu, right? I’ve seen your photo in the newspaper before. Your reasoning just now is really good, much better than Maori Kogoro’s.”
Qin Mu greeted him with a smile.
Kisaki Eri looked at Xiaolan again and said, “Now that you have figured out the cause of the incident, let’s go home as soon as possible.”
As he spoke, his tone became very strong, “Doesn’t your karate club’s training start this afternoon?”
Only then did Xiaolan react. She apologized to Dr. Tobe and immediately dragged Qin Mu and Conan out of the cafe.
After coming out of the cafe, the three of them walked on the road. Xiaolan crossed her arms and said, “I still feel something is wrong. There seems to be something different about my mother today.”
Conan smiled and said, “I told you, Auntie Hibiki is worried about GORO.”
Listening to the two people talking there, Qin Mu did not explain anything. After arriving at an intersection, Qin Mu also said goodbye to the two of them. He still had to go to the park for a run, so the next stop was not on his way.
It was evening, and Qin Mu was about to take a shower after dinner when he heard the phone ringing.
Huihara Ai, who was washing dishes, looked over immediately and said, “She called you so late at night, it must be that woman again!”
“How is that possible?” Feeling Huibara Ai’s stern gaze, Qin Mu smiled awkwardly. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Xiaolan who called, asking Qin Mu if he had time. Her father drank too much in KTV and she hoped that he could help take him home as she was still in training and didn’t have time.
Qin Mu also agreed immediately.
“Xiao Lan called and asked me to pick up uncle. Do you want to go?”
“No.” Haibara Ai returned to the room, holding her bath towel, and refused decisively.
This way I can only go alone.
When I rushed into the KTV, I saw that Kogoro Mouri was already drunk and sleeping on the sofa. He was dressed very formally, the same clothes he wore on his first date with Eri Kisaki.
Qin Mu had no choice but to leave the KTV carrying Fei Yingli on his back and send her back to the detective agency.
Not long after he left, Hibiki Eri, who was wearing a low-cut dress, also rushed over. Looking at the empty private room, she gritted her teeth and said, “I told you, how could this guy remember a day like this!”
After saying that, he went back with a gloomy look on his face.
At this time, Kogoro Mouri, who was sleeping in the car, couldn’t help but sneeze.
Haibara Ai looked at the error message on the computer and was at a loss for a moment. She quickly checked the program she had just run and started it again, but it still failed.
Staring at the screen, Haibara Ai fell into deep thought for a moment. What was missing?
The door outside rang. It was Qin Mu who came back with a bag in his hand. He tiptoed to the kitchen, but when he saw Huibara’s sad face, he chose to go over anyway.
“What’s wrong?”
Huiyuan Ai looked at the screen without looking back, “It’s okay, it seems like something is missing, I’m looking up information.”
“Don’t think about it.” Qin Mu touched her head and put the bag in front of her. “Look what I brought you when I came back.”
Huihara Ai’s eyes lit up, “Peanut and blueberry flavored sandwiches!”
Qin Mu put it in her hand and comforted her: “Eat quickly and rest early. Even if you are anxious to research the antidote, you must take care of your body. Nothing can be achieved overnight. You will definitely face failure. After all, failure is the mother of success.”
Haibara Ai took the sandwich and started eating.
Qin Mu bought this sandwich and planned to hide it. It was a good idea to comfort Huibara Ai, but he didn’t expect it to come in handy so soon.
Chapter 44 Grateful Xiaolan (Old Version)
Chapter 44 Grateful Xiaolan
The next morning, Qin Mu was washing up when he heard a voice coming from the phone.
Huiyuan Ai picked up the phone, asked who it was, and quickly ran over to hand it to Qin Mu, “It’s Xiaolan calling.”
Qin Mu spit out the water in his mouth and picked it up, “Xiao Lan, what’s the matter?”
Xiaolan on the other end said anxiously, “Brother Qin Mu, please come and take a look. Someone has been killed.”
Qin Mu was a little surprised. People die all the time in Conan’s world, so there was nothing to be surprised about. Moreover, Xiaolan didn’t look for Kogoro Mouri, but came to find him instead.
“You knew the deceased?”
“Yes.” Xiaolan said, “The deceased is Nishimura Sachiko. I lost my student ID before, and she helped me find it. She was a very good person. I didn’t expect that she was killed.”
After hearing this, Qin Mu couldn’t remember who it was for a moment, but he still agreed, and the two of them immediately agreed on a time.
Then I called the teacher and asked for leave. As a good student in the class, the teacher agreed very readily for this kind of thing.
He took his coat and headed for the door, “Xiao Ai, go to school by yourself, and walk slowly!”
“I know.” Haibara Ai was still eating breakfast and rolled her eyes. She really treated me like a child.
Qin Mu rushed to the agreed location, but did not see Conan. He must have gone to school.
The two people came to the door of Nishimura Sachiko’s room, and the door was opened from the inside. It was Officer Takagi who was in charge of this matter. It was the people outside who reported in advance.
Gao Mushi looked at Qin Mu and Xiao Lan with some surprise, “I don’t need to bother Mr. Qin Mu for this case.”
Then he made way for her and said, “Please come in.”
Qin Mu walked in and explained, “This person once helped Xiaolan, so Xiaolan asked me to come over and take a look with her.”
Officer Takagi brought the two people to the crime scene and narrated the case. “According to her colleagues, they found out that she was not absent and came to check and found out about it.”
“The victim’s head was hit with a heavy object, causing a depression in the skull. The murder weapon was a copper ornament placed in her room. The estimated time of death was between 7:30 and 8:00 last night.”
Qin Mu looked at the scene, “I wonder if Nishimura Sachiko smokes?”
Xiaolan next to her shook her head.
Qin Mu came to the middle of the table and pointed to the spot without an ashtray. “In that case, she must have sat here.”
Officer Takagi also shared the visitor’s information. “We can confirm that the person who came was someone who was equivalent to her boyfriend, because around 7:30, the sound of Miss Nishimura talking to the visitor was heard by the lady who lived next door.”
He then repeated what the neighbor had heard.
“And the visitor yesterday seemed to be very interested in mountain climbing and even left some photos. So the initial inference is that it was the victim’s boyfriend who killed her. After all, if it was an outsider, her boyfriend would definitely call the police or fight with the criminal. However, not only was there no record of calling the police, but even the sound of the fight was not heard by the neighbors.”
Qin Mu was a little surprised. Did Officer Gao Mu grow a brain? He gave him a thumbs up and said, “Gao Mu, it’s okay now.”
Faced with the compliment, Officer Gao Mu touched his head a little embarrassedly, “Haha, so I said, this matter does not require Mr. Qin Mu to take action.”
Qin Mu did not let down his guard and continued searching around, trying to find useful clues. Anyone involved with Xiaolan would definitely not be that simple.
However, Nishimura Sachiko’s boyfriend can now be ruled out. Since Takagi Shigeru thinks so, he is absolutely innocent.
If Officer Gao Mu knew that Qin Mu used him as a method of elimination, he might really fight with Qin Mu, provided that he could beat Qin Mu.
At this time, Officer Takagi received a call from a forensic officer.
Then his face became a little serious. “They said that from the copper ornaments, the photos, and the two wine glasses on the table, except for the fingerprints of the victim Nishimura Sachiko, no other fingerprints were found, and there were no signs of wiping!”
Qin Mu’s expression also turned serious. “That is to say, he committed the crime in a planned way and cleaned up all his fingerprints in advance!”
“Impossible.” Xiaolan was a little reluctant to believe it. “I saw her yesterday looking forward to her boyfriend coming, and she was smiling. The two of them must have a good relationship.”
Gao Mu said: “Maybe it’s for money. After all, there are no valuables in the whole room.”
Xiaolan was still talking about the scene when she met the other party last night.
Qin Mu held his chin and kept thinking in his mind. Something was really wrong. After all, the two of them were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. Fingerprints would have been left here no matter what. Now there was not even a trace of wiping. This was really too abnormal.
Officer Qianye also rushed over, “Ah, Mr. Qin Mu is here too, I really didn’t expect that.”
Officer Gao Mu said, “That’s what I said, but Mr. Qin Mu was called by Xiaolan to help, and Xiaolan had received help from the deceased before, so the two of them didn’t leave.”
Officer Chiba shared the information he had found out. “She and her boyfriend seem to have been dating for half a year, but her boyfriend is very busy and only comes over on the 25th of every month. As a result, Miss Nishimura’s friends have never met this boyfriend and don’t even know his name. At the same time, every 25th, Miss Nishimura will be particularly happy.”
This is really weird.
Qin Mu was a little confused. After all, having a boyfriend was not illegal, so why should he hide it?
Everyone walked out of the room temporarily and prepared to continue investigating the clues.
Qianye also chose to separate from everyone again, “I will filter out the deceased’s boyfriend from her friends.”
Having said that, he got back in the car and set off immediately.
Gao Mushi looked at Qin Mu and Xiao Lan, “I am going to walk the route the deceased took yesterday again. Maybe I can find clues about Miss Nishimura’s boyfriend. Mr. Qin Mu, you two should go back first. I will call you two when I have more news.”
“Officer Takagi, can you please let us follow you?” Xiaolan quickly called out to Takagi Wataru who was about to leave, “I really can’t believe that her boyfriend is the murderer.”
“I support Xiaolan’s idea!” Qin Mu also stood up.
Xiaolan gave Qin Mu a grateful look.
Chapter 45 Detective Mao Lilan (Old Version)
Chapter 45 Detective Mao Lilan
Gao Mu Shi knew that Qin Mu wanted him to take Xiaolan with him, so he had to agree.
The three of them walked along the same path that Nishimura Sachiko had walked yesterday.
Officer Takagi kept asking questions, but he never got any clues.
When everyone arrived at the Yuekata Hotel, they happened to see a man parking his electric bike and preparing to go in to deliver something. He was called over by Officer Takagi and asked about the situation of Nishimura Sachiko and her boyfriend. Unexpectedly, the other party actually knew about it.
“I did see Ms. Nishimura Sachiko’s boyfriend rushing out yesterday. It was around eight o’clock.”
Officer Takagi asked, “But how do you know that man is Miss Nishimura’s boyfriend?”
Kenji Suenaga thought, “I remember there was a fire nearby on the 25th of last month. My apartment happened to be across from Miss Nishimura’s apartment, and I saw it at that time.”
Officer Takagi continued to ask, “So, you saw the man you saw a month ago rushing out of Miss Nishimura’s apartment last night?”
Suenaga Kenji nodded, “I think he was frightened and was rolling and crawling.”
Officer Takagi’s face was solemn. “Mr. Suenaga Kenji, could you please help the police draw a portrait of that man?”
Suenaga Kenji agreed, “Okay, I’ll tell the boss first.”
Hearing the other party’s affirmative words, Xiaolan became very depressed. She could still argue before, but now that the witnesses have come out, it means that the case has been concluded.
After Qin Mu noticed this, he hurried to comfort Xiaolan. However, looking at the back of Kenji Suenaga as he left, Qin Mu always felt that something was not right. Logically speaking, they had only met once, so his memory should be vague. Moreover, there would be some uncertainty in the future, except for those with extraordinary memory.
But this person’s tone seemed too certain.
“Brother Qin Mu, thank you for accompanying me to investigate this matter today.”
Qin Mu waved his hand, “It’s okay, I can’t help much.”
“I’ll treat you to dinner.”
It was just time to eat, Xiaolan suggested immediately.
Qin Mu did not reject her kindness.
Two people came to a restaurant and ordered a bowl of rice each.
Qin Mu happened to find that the person next to him seemed to be waiting for someone, and the person opposite had been there all night and had not moved yet.
The food is not eaten?
Qin Mu’s eyes lit up, and he knew something was wrong at the scene: the food!
The food at the seat where Nishimura Sachiko was sitting had been moved, but the food across from her had not been moved, which meant…
Taking a look at the lost Xiaolan in front of him, Qin Mu smiled knowingly. As long as he helped Xiaolan to resolve her heart knot, everything would be fine.
Qin Mu shouted: “Xiao Lan!”
Xiaolan raised her head.
Qin Mu pointed at the table next to him and said, “Do you feel that there is something familiar here?”
Xiaolan looked in the direction of Qin Mu’s finger, but was still confused. “What’s wrong, Brother Qin Mu? I didn’t see it?”
Qin Mu smiled and said, “It’s the food on the table. One person moved it, but the other didn’t. The person who was eating was obviously waiting for someone…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man had finished his bowl and picked up the bowl opposite him and continued eating.
Slap in the face.
However, this did not affect Xiaolan. With Qin Mu’s reminder, Xiaolan thought of it instantly.
He immediately stood up and walked out.
Qin Mu also stood up and told the boss that he didn’t want his two bowls of rice for the time being, and then followed Xiaolan’s footsteps.
The two of them trotted all the way to the house of Miss Nishimura’s friend that Chiba had mentioned before.
When Kawamura Kyoko learned that they were here to question Miss Nishimura, she said, “Actually, I’ve told the police that I didn’t hear Sachiko say she had a boyfriend. She did have one before, five years ago. His name was Henmi, and he was quite interested in mountain climbing.”
Afterwards, Qin Mu and Xiao Lan found Bian Jian’s home again, but they did not see Bian Jian. Instead, they met Bian Jian’s mother. Only then did they learn from here that Bian Jian had had an accident half a year ago, and the accident actually happened on the 25th.
Upon hearing the news, Qin Mu and others quickly found Officer Gao Mu and directly stated that the real murderer was not Miss Nishimura’s boyfriend.
Officer Gao Mu found it a little unbelievable and subconsciously looked in the direction of Qin Mu.
Qin Mu nodded, “Xiao Lan is right.”
Takagi Shige took Qin Mu and Xiaolan with him to start investigating.
After everything was investigated clearly, everyone went straight back to the hotel and found Kenji Suenaga who was moving things.
Officer Takagi took the portrait of the murderer out of his pocket and said, “Mr. Kenji Suenaga, regarding this portrait drawn by the police.”
Kenji Suenaga thought the police were here to ask for clues again, so he wiped the sweat off his face and said with a relaxed look, “That’s all I can remember, Mr. Policeman.”
“No.” Officer Takagi denied, “In fact, it is impossible for the police to draw any portrait from the beginning, because it is impossible for Miss Nishimura to have a boyfriend who would visit her there, so please come with us.”
After saying that, he took Kenji Suenaga directly to Miss Nishimura’s residence.
Xiaolan stepped forward and said, “If Miss Nishimura’s boyfriend hasn’t been here for a long time, when he comes over for dinner, he will definitely ask her if the food is delicious and let her eat first. Now Miss Nishimura is eating alone, so I am sure that Miss Nishimura’s boyfriend has not come at all.”
“Then why are there two servings of food on the table?” Kenji Suenaga asked back.
Xiaolan’s face fell. “It was actually prepared for her boyfriend. The reason why it has not been touched is that her boyfriend died in an accident while climbing a mountain on the 25th half a year ago. The reason why Miss Nishimura is so happy on the 25th of every month is because it is a lie she made up. The words that others heard were just her talking to herself.”
“That’s right!” Gao Mu came out and said, “It is precisely because of this reason that there were no fingerprints at the scene. Now you said that you have seen Miss Nishimura’s boyfriend. There is only one possibility, that is, the real murderer is you!”
Xiaolan’s eyes were filled with tears. “Although he has passed away, at least in Miss Sachiko’s heart, she doesn’t think so. She still looks forward to seeing him again. As long as you have the confidence to wait, he will definitely come back. Your lover will never betray you.”
Since Conan was not at the scene, Qin Mu also stepped forward to comfort him.
On the way home, snowflakes slowly fell.
After arriving home and seeing Xiao Ai lying on the bed, Qin Mu went forward to cover her with the quilt.
But Huiyuan sat up in shock, her face full of panic. When she saw that it was Qin Mu, she relaxed and said with lingering fear: “I just dreamed about Gin!”
