Chapter 78 Swap

“……”

That's right......

Seeing a few friends walking away, Conan, who turned around, unabashedly wrote on his face the intention of 'I will never give up if you don't make it clear', but I was still looking at him expressionlessly, but I was secretly thinking about it in my heart: Sure enough, I knew that no matter how easy the three little ghosts were, it was impossible for Conan to let go of himself easily.

However, will I really tell Conan about Fuji Reyuki and Xia Jie? The answer is obviously no.

Not to mention that I didn't understand the purpose of Fuji Renxue and Xia Jie in the first place, even if I was clear, as a killer, or more accurately, as a bloody killer, how could I tell Conan the whole story? After all, if you want to explain this matter thoroughly, then there are really too many things involved.

For example, the true identities of Xia Jie and Fuji Reyuki, such as their own disappearance in the past few days, such as the inexplicable disappearance of Sakata Akahara and the murderer Yamanaka Kihisae in the previous magician murder incident, etc., etc., these must not be known to this little detective.

Admittedly, I fully believe that with Conan's cleverness, sooner or later he will find out who he really is. But not yet, I can't tell him. If Conan really knows the identity of his killer, not to mention whether this little detective who lives in his own beautiful world with a sense of justice can accept his own problems, just say that he can accept himself, with Conan's character, will he really be able to act as freely as before in the future?

So, the answer is obvious, but ......

"Tell me, what do you want to know?" After a long silence, I looked at the villain across from me with a serious face and did not say a word, and finally sighed in my heart and made a decision.

"Huh?" Conan was half a beat slower to respond to my answer.

In the previous silence, Conan also had his own plans in his heart, he felt that he was quite self-aware, he knew that the child Mochizuki Night was definitely not as simple as it seemed, what happened to Mochizuki Night recently was very strange, Conan knew that this was an opportunity, a good opportunity to understand Mochizuki Night, so he would not let it go. But at the same time, Conan also knew that Mochizuki Night had always avoided talking about this kind of question, so for the question he just asked, Conan felt that he might have asked in vain to a large extent. But now, it seems that Mochizuki's attitude is no longer as resolute as before?

Conan was overjoyed, opened his mouth, and stopped when the words came to his lips.

"What do you have?" Conan looked at me tentatively, knowing that the kid standing across from him who knew his true identity wouldn't let go so easily.

"Three questions," yes, I won't compromise so easily, raising three fingers, I looked at Conan, and said the conditions: "I have one thing that I need your help with, so really, I can answer you three questions." ”

"One thing?" Conan didn't rush to ask, but groaned, and then looked up at me with a hesitant look, "What do you want to do?"

"Heh, why are you looking at me like this?" Looking at his eyes, I couldn't help but chuckle and made a reassuring gesture, I continued: "Don't worry, I won't let you do anything illegal and criminal, it's just that there is a person I want to know about, and it just so happens that this person has something to do with you." ”

"A person, who is it?" Conan not only did not dispel his doubts after hearing this, but became even more strange, just wanting to understand a person, who is so important, and will let Mochizuki Ye exchange three questions.

"It's not a very important person, but it's a little strange to say, and I'm a little curious about that person. However, for some reason, I can't find any information about him, so there's no way to ask you. Although you are not the only one who knows about that person, it's just that asking you seems to be the best choice, after all, he and you are also related by blood, so you should know better. ”

I looked at Conan meaningfully, and when I saw Conan's suddenly changed face, I knew that he should have thought of who I was talking about.

"What do you ask him for?" Conan's eyes suddenly sharpened.

Yes, Conan did already know who I wanted to ask, but that person, Kudo Yayu, was the last person he wanted to recall or mention.

"Heh, is there such a big reaction?" I sneered and took a few steps past Conan, "I just want to get to know the person who looks exactly like me, not to mention ......" I stopped and turned to look at Conan, "Aren't you also curious about what the relationship between me and that boy is?"

Kudo's question about night talk, I've wanted to ask it for a long time, but I haven't had the right time to ask. The reason I said before, among the people I know, the people who know the existence of Kudo Night Whisper can probably be counted on one hand.

Mao Lilan obviously can't ask, it will stimulate her sad memories, and her friend Suzuki Sonoko I have only met that once, although she is very smug and easy to ask, but she really doesn't know much about Kudo Night Language, Dr. Asa has a good relationship with the Kudo family, but unfortunately he is only familiar with Kudo Yusaku's family, as for Kudo Night Language's family, he knows them about the same as Garden.

In fact, remove these three people, and there is another person who seems to be the best choice, Maori Kogoro, this person's normal life is a drunkard and a gambler, however, every time I want to find out some information, this guy either uses the child not to ask me if he doesn't understand, or he just holds the photo of Yoko Okino and giggles.

So with all that said, I can only ask Conan.

"What do you mean?" Sensitively felt that Mochizuki had something to say, because it involved Kudo Night, Conan's answer obviously became more cautious.

"It doesn't make sense, you don't need to be so cautious at all, tell me about him, it's good for both of us, isn't it?" I looked at Conan in a steady tone, explaining a fact that we both knew.

“……”

Conan fell into a long silence, looking down to make out his expression. I wasn't in a hurry, I looked at Conan for a long time, waiting for his answer, and then after seeing him raise his head again, the corners of my mouth slightly hooked up a slight arc.

"Very well, it seems, you've figured it out," I said, turning and stepping out of the vestibule, "Well, it looks like we need to find a quiet place to talk about our problems." ”

………………

"I see, I seem to understand why you doubt my identity. Sitting in the cubicle of a nearby Chinese-style tea house, I looked at Conan thoughtfully as I savored the tea in my cup. Oh, no wonder Conan was suspicious of me, but I did have a lot in common with his cousin named Kudo Yayu......

I lowered my eyelids, looked down at the teacup in my hand, and didn't make any comments.

"......" Conan didn't answer me, but frowned and lowered his head to look at the teacup in front of him without focus.

Conan has already asked me the three questions that were the conditions just now, and the three questions are the bottom line that I can acceptably answer, and Conan has a good grasp of this point. And with these three questions, Conan also knew my approximate age and part of the truth about the magician's murder.

There's no way, in fact, I can't hide it, during the time when I lost my memory, Conan clearly saw the same scar on my body that I had with the missing Sakata Akahara, and he had already guessed my identity, and I just affirmed his guess.

But I think that knowing this, Conan should not be in a good mood at this time.

Therefore, some things, after exploring the truth of it, do not necessarily get better. I think Conan probably had more questions to ask me at this point, but, alas, as I said, there were only three questions.

"So, now that I know what I want to know, and you're done with your questions, I'll go first. Seeing that Conan still didn't mean to speak, I looked at the time, it was very late, and seeing that Conan didn't mean to be in a hurry, I thought about it and understood why Xiaolan didn't kill her this time, probably because Conan and Xiaolan said that they wanted to live at Dr. Asasa's house.

Standing up, even though Dr. Asasa's house was near my house, I didn't wait for Conan, and lifted the curtain of the cubicle, ready to leave.

"Oh, yes......"

I suddenly remembered something, stopped, and looked back at Conan: "After school today, Gray Plains ......" At this point, I paused, and then received: "No, it's okay, let's go, see you tomorrow." ”

"......" answered me for a while, and I guess Conan was still immersed in his own little world.

Shaking my head, I ignored Conan and walked out of the cubicle.

"Yo~ It's finally out, Nissan, you're so slow~~ I've been waiting for Nissan outside for a long time~" As soon as I walked downstairs, a familiar voice came from the front.

I looked over there, and happened to see a certain silver-haired ghost, frowned, and was silent for a second, and then I spoke: "It turns out that an organization like Night Charm can also open a teahouse?"
