Chapter 8: The Mysterious Mr. Duanmu!
Didan Elementary School, Grade 1 Class B.
"Mina, these are the two new students who have just transferred to the school today, let's ask them to introduce themselves."
"I'm Conan Edogawa, a new transfer, so please advise." Conan stared at a pair of iconic dead fish eyes, speechlessly looking at the group of children in the audience, it's really enough, and he has to go to school with these little ghosts!
"I'm Duanmu Xuan, a new transfer, please advise." Duanmu Xuan is smile on his face, he really misses it.
"Okay, Conan-san, Duanmu-san, you can find a seat and sit down, everyone should help the two new classmates more."
"Hey!"
Conan found an empty table under the stage and sat down, originally wanted to pull Duanmu Xuan to sit next to him, but Duanmu Xuan gently broke free, and Duanmu Xuan also found an empty table behind him and sat down.
Conan looked at Duanmu Xuan suspiciously, Duanmu Xuan smiled at him mysteriously, joking, I don't want to sit with you, I'm still waiting for His Royal Highness Da Wai to come and accompany me.
Conan looked at Duanmu Xuan with a mysterious smile on his face, scratching his head in confusion, but he didn't say anything.
"Duanmu-san, Conan-san, let's go back together, hello, my name is Ayumi Yoshida, you must be a little uncomfortable just now, I'll be your friend." As soon as school ended, the enthusiastic Ayumi really brought Yuan Tai a few people around, but they were slightly more enthusiastic about Duanmuxuan than Conan, probably because Duanmuxuan looked kinder.
"Hey, thank you." Duanmu Xuan was still smiling, looking at Ayumi's cute little face, he habitually wanted to pinch it, but thinking of his current child's appearance, he still couldn't help it.
"My name is Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, please take care of me,"
"My name is Motota Kojima, please take care of me."
Mitsuhiko and Motota also introduced themselves.
"However, I always feel that I have heard the surname Duanmu somewhere." Mitsuhiko looked puzzled, and carefully recalled where he had heard the surname Duanmu.
"Eh, Mitsuhiko, do you think so too? I thought I was mistaken. ”
"yes, yes, I feel familiar too."
Duanmu Xuan looked at the collective contemplative trio a little speechlessly, you guys are really enough, it's only been three days, and the big brother who invited you to play for a day was forgotten by you?
"Duanmu Cang!" He smiled wickedly and directly reported a name he casually talked about that day.
"Ah, I remember, that big brother, the big brother who was in the amusement park that day! He also invited us to play for a day. Then the trio remembered.
"Duanmu-san, how did you know this name?" They then looked at Duanmu Xuan with some confusion.
"That's my brother, he told me that day, he met three cute children at the amusement park."
"Huh!" This is not only the trio, but Conan, who has been watching from the sidelines, looked at Duanmu Xuan in surprise, but he knew that Duanmu Xuan went to the amusement park by himself that day, how did he become Duanmu Cang.
Facing Conan's puzzled eyes, Duanmu Xuan smiled mysteriously again, haha, did the image of my brother instantly rise tall, did my brother already fill my heart with fog, and felt that my brother was mysterious and profound.
Duanmu Xuan smiled evilly in his heart, but he was not wrong, Conan did think that he was a little mysterious.
From a long time ago, Conan knew that a person named Duanmu Xuan had moved across from his house, but he didn't know anything about this Mr. Duanmu, he only knew that this Mr. Duanmu liked to laugh very much, no matter when, there was always a faint smile on his face.
Others, about the family background of this Mr. Duanmu, he probably knows that it seems to be a very old family in China, and the family is very rich, as for what exactly Mr. Duanmu does, and what relatives he has, he doesn't know anything.
In fact, a long time ago, Conan became curious about Duanmu Xuan, obviously his family background is very good, but he has a thick cocoon on his hands, and he often disappears for several days before coming back, basically without any social relationship, and he has never seen anyone come to find this Mr. Duanmu.
These all once made Conan wonder if he was some kind of agent undercover or something, as for why he wasn't a killer criminal or something, it was because from the first time he saw him, he could feel that this Mr. Duanmu's kindness to him was true, if it was a killer criminal or something, it was impossible to be so kind to a person he didn't know, and, you know, he was a famous detective, if it was a killer criminal or something, he couldn't hide, how could he still be here.
Later, after getting along for a long time, Conan forgot about his guess about Duanmuxuan and got used to having a mysterious neighbor.
It wasn't until a few days ago that Duanmu Xuan directly put down the kidnapper at once, and he remembered that he had suspected that this Mr. Duanmu had a high level of force before, and now it also confirmed his guess.
"Huh! High! ”
"Huh?"
"Who the hell are you?" Conan looked at Duanmu Xuan with a solemn face.
Haha, sure enough, my brother's mystery makes you curious, Duanmu Xuan was a little proud in his heart, but there was still a faint smile on his face, "I am me, a Chinese from China, relying on the inheritance left by his family, he came here to enjoy life." ”
"Then why did you use a pseudonym when you went to the park the other day? Say that's your brother? ”
"Haha, I was just teasing those children at that time, that is indeed my brother's name, our family is three brothers, I am the second, my brother's name is Duanmu Cang, and I also have a younger brother with the same name." Duanmuxuan threw out his own family background again.
"Oh." Conan nodded, and didn't ask anything more, but there were more doubts in his heart, it was too unreasonable to tease the children and deliberately use pseudonyms, and it was the first time the three brothers had heard of it.
"Xuan, although I don't know what your identity is, I believe that you are not a bad person!" Conan looked at Duanmu Xuan solemnly.
"Haha, of course, how can I be a bad person." Our Duanmu classmates are a little guilty again, and they were issued a good person card for the first time.
In fact, he looks so mysterious, and he did it on purpose, the reason, of course, is the **oss who doesn't know his identity yet.
Before I don't know the identity of **oss, the more mysterious he is, the more people can't see the reality, the more beneficial it is to him, and the hole cards that others don't know can be called hole cards.
"Doctor, here we are."
"Oh, it's Shinichi and Xuan, how does it feel to go to school today?"
"It's really terrible, you have to learn everything you know." Conan complained.
"It's okay, I've been away from campus for a long time, and I'm a little nostalgic." Duanmu Xuan still smiled faintly.
"Shinichi, there's no way, you've become a child, and if you don't go to school, it's weird." The Doctor smiled and comforted Conan.
"By the way, Shinichi, Xiaolan came to me yesterday."
"Huh, Lan?"
"Well, she said that you haven't been to school for a few days, and you are going to call the police, but I dragged you down."
"Alas, but I can't go to see her like this, if I tell him the truth and the man in black knows, Xiaolan will also be in danger." When it comes to Xiaolan, Conan is a little disappointed.
"Well, Shinichi, I've made something these days, which may help you." Seeing Conan's loss, the doctor hurriedly changed the subject.
"Eh, what?"
"Wait, I'll get it for you."
"Look, bow-shaped voice changer." Dr. Asa held two bows in his hands and looked at Conan and Duanmuxuan with a smile.
"Eh, I have it too?" Duanmu Xuan, who had been listening to Conan and the doctor's chatter on the side, was a little surprised.
"Well, of course, maybe when it will be used."
"Yes, thank you, Doctor." Duanmu Xuan looked curiously at the "artifact" in his hand, the same as in the anime, the red bow tie, and the turntable used to adjust the sound behind it.
However, he doesn't usually like to wear suits, so it is estimated that there will not be many opportunities to use them, and it will look a little weird if he wears his usual clothes and a bow tie.
