Chapter 156: Masquerade

Human beings are creatures that will never reveal their truest selves. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In other words, human beings are hypocrites.

Uncle thinks that the name "Kamen House" is very good, because human beings all wear masks, and even more than one.

For example, Su Fang, wearing a mask called "kindness", is actually hypocritical, and the so-called charitable donations were swallowed by her.

It's a pretty big, if not all, part.

is also Conan, who pretends to be cute all day long and hides that he is a matter of Kudo Shinichi.

Another example is Xiaolan.

Xiaolan is not hypocritical, she is just used to hiding her sorrows, and it seems that she is always happy and happy.

What makes her feel the most sad is undoubtedly the matter of the uncle and Concubine Yingli, even if the relationship seems to have improved a little recently, but it is still far from being reunited.

Finally, there is the uncle, who will also hide his truest self.

Actually, he's not stupid, at least he's smart now.

But he always looks squinting, always pretending to be stupid, and always talks about serious things when people tell him serious things.

For example, now, Nagara Haruka was obviously kind enough to give him divination, but he deliberately turned around, and then turned to look at Nagara Haruka.

"Suddenly looking back, that person is in the dim light, so that person is you, Chunxiang-chan."

“…… Sauce? ”

"Why don't we exchange phone numbers, home addresses or something, try to talk for two days, and then officially date for a few days, and then go to get the certificate, what can be done in a week, what do you think?"

“……”

Haruka Nagara didn't know what to say.

So the legendary detective......

Is this what the hell it looks like?

Fortunately, Xiaolan came over to relieve her.

"Dad, Miss Haruka, what are you talking about?"

"Talking about love......

"Career, Mr. Mori, this is a good time for you to start a new business."

That's what Haruka Nagara said.

She had to get the topic on track, or the devil knew what the uncle would say.

Hearing that it was a career, Xiaolan came to the spirit.

"Really?"

"Really."

Haruka Nagara nodded affirmatively.

She is still very confident in her divination results.

Otherwise, she would not have become a famous fortune teller, you must know that even the media are very concerned about her news.

She even publishes the results of her divination every week.

"Dad, did you hear that?"

Xiaolan looked at the uncle happily.

In her opinion, maybe it would be good to let the uncle do more business.

If the uncle can be more self-motivated, maybe the probability of getting back together with Concubine Yingli will be higher.

So Xiaolan is still thinking about such a thing.

The uncle didn't say anything about this.

However, Su Fang's female secretary, a woman named Inaba Kazuyo, came over and seemed to have drunk some wine.

Pushing the uncle's shoulder with his elbow, he made a suggestion.

"If that's the case, try to be a singer in our company, Heisei's famous detective Mr. Mori's song will definitely be an instant hit."

"Really? Then I'm going to sing a song for you. ”

The uncle also seemed to be interested, picked up the drink on the table and was used as a microphone, stood up and adjusted his voice "cough", and then looked at Nagara Haruka affectionately and sang loudly.

"I just want to be your man, is it a little bit possible......"

"I'm sorry."

A word of apology suddenly popped up next to him, so that the uncle almost didn't fall.

After a closer look, he found that it was the twin maids who said it, and the uncle breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought it was Haruka Nagara who said it, but that would be a tragedy.

After all, just sing a sentence and say sorry, it's the rhythm of rejection!

Fortunately, this shows that there is still a chance.

But is there really?

The answer, of course, is no.

But Uncle doesn't believe in evil, no matter what, he always has to try it.

However, there is no chance.

Before you know it, it's almost 12 o'clock in the evening, so the Kamen House is also closing.

Why close the doors?

According to the two twin maids, after twelve o'clock, Xiao Buru's mask would come out as a prank, so it had to be locked up, and it happened many times, and after dawn the mask became crooked, and even fell to the ground or something.

Hehe.

This is the attitude shared by Uncle and Conan.

However, unlike Conan's indifference, Uncle wants to smoke.

Smoking means that the uncle wants to think.

So does the uncle think that there is something hidden behind the crooked mask?

Uncle can't be sure of this, but he just thinks that things may not be so simple.

Uncle has always trusted his own instincts, and his instincts have always been very accurate.

However, he was not given much time to think.

After cleaning up and washing, it's time to go to rest.

To the uncle's regret, his room is on the east side, while Haruka Nagara's room is on the west side.

This means that you can't go to the night raid at night.

Fortunately, Nami Shimogasa's room is also on the east side.

So there's still a chance?

Huh-huh......

……

The one who once said that the world is made up of living and dying.

It's either life or death.

And almost every moment, there is a life that dies.

Death is everywhere.

Well, to put it simply: someone else died.

This was expected by the uncle.

The uncle guessed that someone would have an accident, and it was very likely that Su Fang.

But he didn't manage it, and he couldn't manage it.

He is not a murderer, and he doesn't know what kind of murder methods the murderer will take, let alone when the murderer will act.

When faced with someone who wants to kill someone, you can take precautions, but you can't really stop it.

For example, the police.

The presence of the police can prevent the occurrence of homicides to the greatest extent, but it cannot completely prevent the occurrence of homicides.

It is impossible for the police to watch everyone all the time, and it is impossible to keep an eye on all the actions of a person all the time.

Uncle is not a police officer, nor is he a superman wearing red pants.

Uncle is just an ordinary person.

It's so ordinary that if you want to write a report about how ordinary your uncle is, you can write 300 sheets of paper for three days and three nights.

Therefore, the uncle couldn't stop a person from killing someone, so the murder still happened.

And it's a backroom murder.

After inspecting the scene, the uncle leaned against the door and lit a cigarette.

He said he had seen through everything.

Xiaolan has already gone to the police, so she should be given an achievement medal of "call the police N times".

Conan is still investigating, trying to find out something.

The uncle didn't care about him, but just sighed at the wonder of the world.

"Humans, what complex creatures!"

Human beings are indeed complex.

A murderer who kills like a hemp may also have a moment of softness.

A killer who takes people's money to eliminate disasters for others may also let go of the mission target because of soft-heartedness during a certain operation.

So it is not difficult to understand the fact that a mother who killed someone else, but raised this child to adulthood.

Is it to atone for sins? Or is it to pretend to be a good person?

Except for Su Fang, no one knows about this.

However, Su Fang is dead, so this has become a mystery forever.

The one who killed Su Fang was naturally the child of the female waiter who was forced to commit suicide at the beginning.

Revenge.

A topic that has never been missing since the dawn of mankind.

But when is the time for retribution?

Of course, thinking so, it's not that the uncle doesn't support revenge or anything, it's just a sigh of emotion.

Perhaps only when humanity perishes will such a tragedy not be repeated.

Death, however, is only the beginning of a new cycle.
