Chapter Ninety-Six: Conan's Crisis
"Conan, no, I should call you Kudo Shinichi."
"Actually, you're Shinichi, right?"
Xiaolan took off his glasses and stared at him, pretending to be tough.
It's as if I'm going to make things clear today.
How could Conan admit it so easily?
He pretended to be stupid and said, "Sister Xiaolan, what are you talking about, how can I be the new first brother?" ”
Previously, when Xiaolan was suspicious of his identity, there was a phone call from Shinichi, and there was also a picture of Shinichi and Conan in the same frame.
It stands to reason that she shouldn't question herself so bluntly, after all, it doesn't look like her character.
"Every time."
Xiaolan lowered her head slightly, her broken hair covering her eyes.
"Always come up with a thousand excuses and reasons to tell me you're not Shinichi. But if you're not Shinichi, how do you explain so many things? ”
"If there's any problem, let's face it together. Why do you have to hide it from me? ”
Her voice seemed to take on a crying tone.
"Is it really fun to lie to me like this all the time? Seeing the way I'm worried and scared for you gives you a sense of accomplishment, doesn't you? You stupid, big idiot! ”
Xiaolan, me
But as soon as the words came out, it became
"Sister Xiaolan, I really can't be the new first brother! I'm Conan, Conan Edogawa, not Shinichi Kudo. ”
"If you're desperate to see someone, maybe they'll be in front of you when you wake up tomorrow!"
To make the words seem more authentic, Conan fabricated, "This is all what I saw in a book. Sister Xiaolan, if you give it a try, maybe the new brother will really appear. ”
He had a lovely smile on his face, but it was only superficial.
Tomorrow and tomorrow, ask Gray Yuan for an antidote, and then ask Gray Yuan to help pretend to be "Conan".
In this way, Xiaolan may no longer suspect anything, right?
"Conan Edogawa, Shinichi Kudo"
Xiaolan raised her head and smiled reluctantly, "Sometimes, I wish you were the same person. But sometimes, I wish Conan was Conan, and Shinichi was Shinichi. ”
If Conan is Shinichi, is it for fun or what kind of purpose is it to play with himself for so long?
If Conan was just Conan, even if a great detective only missed once in a long time, he would already be very content.
At least in his absence, there is a Conan who is like Shinichi, and he accompanies him as if Shinichi is by his side.
Xiaolan reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, as if she had never cried.
"It's not early. Conan, rest early, we'll both have to go to school tomorrow. ”
Conan nodded obediently.
"Good night, Sister Xiaolan."
"Good night, Conan."
The lights went out, and the room was dark again.
Through the bright moonlight, you can vaguely see your hands, which seems a little unreal.
It's getting smaller
Conan closed his eyes and began to plan how he would appear tomorrow, and then convinced the other party that Conan and Kudo Shinichi were two people.
When she woke up the next morning, Xiaolan seemed to be very happy.
She hummed a little song in a low voice, her face full of anticipation, more energetic than usual.
"Xiaolan, what is it that makes you so happy?"
Xiaolan didn't answer the other party directly, but bought a pass.
Very playfully said, "Secret." ”
"Wait, look! Did something fall just now? ”
I don't know whose voice successfully attracted everyone to run to the window to look.
I saw a man fall to the ground, his head still bloodstained. His eyes were closed, as if he had passed out.
"Quick, call an ambulance!"
Someone hurriedly shouted.
"Huh? That person, why does it look familiar? ”
Someone seemed to recognize him.
The student exclaimed, "Isn't this Coach Ishigaki from the platform diving club?" ”
Sekine Ishigaki, male, 37 years old, coach of the platform diving club.
Witnesses said that Sekine Ishigaki jumped off on his own, and no one else was present on the roof at the time.
That is, it was a suicide.
But in his wallet, he found a cake order slip, and the time to pick up the cake happened to be today.
How can a person who wants to commit suicide want to order a cake?
There must be something strange in it.
At this moment, a classmate named "Motoji Mineda" approached the police and said that he knew some relevant clues.
Because, someone once predicted the death of Coach Ishigaki.
"Prophecy?"
"Yes."
Motoji Mineta nodded, and continued, "Just a week ago, our fellow team member 'Tsusuke Kawase' said that the coach would jump off the roof one day. ”
Tsusuke Kawase is a former ace member of the platform diving club.
During a practice, he had an accident and fell into a state of cardiopulmonary arrest, but finally miraculously woke up.
Half a year later, I returned to campus.
"You're looking for me for Coach Ishigaki, right?"
The moment the police found him, he understood what was going on.
Takagi was slightly surprised, "Is this also a prophecy?" ”
"No," Tsusuke Kawase smiled, "I just thought about it casually and understood." ”
The prediction a week ago, a week later, Coach Ishigaki really committed suicide by jumping off the building as he said.
Indeed, it is easy to suspect him.
"I was in the classroom at the time of the incident, and everyone can testify. If there is any doubt that I pushed Coach Ishigaki down, it is not necessary at all. ”
Twilight Thirteen nodded, and it made sense.
But why did you prophesy like that? Do you know what? ”
What kind of body is hidden under the skin, maybe only I know.
The usually cheerful and sunny girl suddenly committed suicide one day, which surprised everyone.
After a detailed investigation, it turned out that what she had was a scarred heart.
Therefore, Twilight Thirteen naturally thought that the other party knew some "secret" before saying such a thing.
After all, sometimes, suicide is precursorred.
However, the other party's answer was exactly the opposite of what he thought.
"Ever since I woke up from an accident, I've felt like I have something different from the rest of the world. For example, I can see the state of a person who is about to die. ”
It is rumored that when a person is about to die, his body will slowly become transparent.
Does this supernatural ability really exist?
Thinking that the other party was hiding something, Twilight Thirteen found a technician and found Tsusuke Kawase's social account.
His name on the video site is "Prophet".
Although only a few videos have been posted, the number of views is in the millions. The most terrifying thing is that all of these prophecies have come true.
For example, a star who had clearly said that he would not get married before suddenly got married one day.
Could it be that there really is such a mysterious thing as prophecy?
From deep skepticism to half-belief now, Twilight Thirteen feels that this kind of case is almost beyond her purview.
"Twilight Police Department, I went to the cake shop just now to inquire, and I learned that the cake was for a person named 'Ina Ihara'."
Ina Ihara, female, 17 years old, is also a member of the diving team.
A coach who sets a birthday cake for a female student is not simple in her purpose, or there is some kind of relationship between the two.
But after inquiry, there is no information about the relationship between the two.
In other words, Coach Ishigaki's birthday cake may just be out of one-sided infatuation.
"Did anything strange happen at noon today?"
"Strange things?"
Motoji Mineta thought about it carefully and shook his head.
"I've been in the radio room at noon today. Midway had ordered a song called "Lost Rivers", and nothing else happened. ”
Twilight Thirteen nodded, sounding unquestionable.
Because of the alibi, Tsusuke Kawase was eliminated from the suspects.
On his way back to the classroom, he met a female classmate who looked like a tomboy and stopped him.
"Classmate, what's the matter?"
"If you would have prophesied, why didn't you prophesy the purpose of my trip?"
Tsusuke Kawase smiled, and immediately understood the identity of the other party.
"You should be a second-year Class B classmate, right? That high school detective. Didn't you come to me to test me for murder and to doubt my prophecy? ”
Tsusuke Kawase put his index finger to his lips and smiled mysteriously, "There are many things in this world that cannot be explained by science." If you don't believe me, then I'll make a prediction. ”
When Shiliang Zhenchun heard this, he was immediately interested.
Curious, he asked, "What kind of prophecy?" ”
"It is"
Tsusuke Kawase smiled slightly, "After school ends at four o'clock this afternoon, you will stay in the classroom until six o'clock. The first person you see when you walk out of the school gate will take the initiative to attack him until the other person begs for mercy. ”
It sounds like something so mysterious that it's completely impossible.
But who can guarantee that it really won't happen?
"Xiaolan, what happened today? Why are you having fun all day? ”
Yuanzi's hand was on her shoulder, "What's the joy of not being able to share?" ”
"It's not Layuanzi."
Xiaolan looked at the other party and explained with a smile, "I just read it in a book yesterday and said, 'If you wait for someone to appear with anticipation, then the other party will appear in front of you soon'." ”
The garden instantly understood what she meant.
quipped, "How long has it been since you missed your boyfriend again?" ”
Immediately hugged Xiaolan again, "But Shinichi is really, he always doesn't come to school for so long, so you always worry about him." ”
"It's okay, I can actually understand it."
Xiaolan looked at the sky outside the window, glowing slightly blue.
"Before, in the corridor, I met Kawase-san, who is the very popular 'prophet' on the video website. He told me that Shinichi would reappear soon. ”
"And then never to leave."
The garden looked at her and did not speak.
If there really is a prophet in the world, and the prophecy he made will come true, then Xiaolan will definitely be very happy, and there is no need to pretend to be strong and look forward to it.
It was clear that the person existed, but it was as if he had been deliberately hidden.
Unless he shows up on his own initiative, no one else can find him at all.
"Okay Xiaolan, the time will pass as soon as it opens and closes. Whoever should show up, there will always be! ”
Unconsciously, Yuan Zi said a very philosophical sentence.
