Chapter 1: The Rain is the Beginning of the Story
"A cup of Mandheling, thank you."
A few minutes later, Qinghai Chuantang walked to the store with a paper cup in his hand.
It was pouring rain outside, and she couldn't help frowning when she forgot to look at the weather forecast.
After pulling out his phone, he hesitated for a moment, and finally put it back in his pocket.
After taking a sip of the coffee in the cup, the bitter taste permeated the tip of the tongue, and there was a faint smell of charcoal.
If you know, it's better to buy a glass of hot milk.
Qinghai Chuantang stood under the eaves, looking at the drizzle outside, not knowing when it would stop.
Although there were vacant seats in the store, she was not used to going in to take shelter from the rain, as if she had taken advantage of something.
She lowered her head and looked at the coffee cup in her hand, hoping that the rain would stop sooner and give her a chance to breathe.
"Excuse me, did you forget to bring an umbrella?"
Qinghai Chuantang raised his head and saw a girl holding an umbrella, as if she was concerned about her situation.
Behind her stood two girls.
One wears a headband on his head that can seal his appearance, and the other is easy to misunderstand that he is actually a man if he is not wearing a skirt.
I should know them: Moriran, Suzuki Sonoko, and Sera Masamu.
"Yes."
She nodded, not in denial.
"So, where do you live?"
From memory, she gave her address.
Fortunately, for this slightly important thing, I have always kept it in mind.
"I didn't expect it, just along the way."
Mao Lilan smiled, "If you don't mind, I might as well send you home." β
"Thank you so much. But your friends ......."
Qinghai Chuantang hesitated, or rather, tangled.
Shiliang Zhenchun was relieved: "It's okay, it won't take much time anyway." β
She was right, after all, it was only a dozen minutes away from here to the destination.
If you have one or two friends by your side and the two of you chat, the time will pass in a flash.
"Thank you so much."
Qinghai Chuantang bowed shallowly to show his gratitude.
Along the way, although several people did not exchange names, they still chatted casually, as a seasoning on the boring road.
"I saw just now, you picked up your phone but put it down, is it because you broke up?"
I have to say that Shiliang Zhenchun asked a very sharp question.
Yuan Zi quietly poked her with his hand, signaling the other party not to talk nonsense.
"Yes."
Qinghai Chuantang didn't feel embarrassed, and generously admitted it.
Then he asked, "Actually, there should be many possibilities." But why did you choose this one? β
She was a little curious.
Shiliang Zhenchun said his analysis, and he heard Qinghai Chuantang nodding frequently, which did make some sense.
She smiled: "You are so powerful, you should be a detective, right?" β
Many professions actually have the habit of observing people.
But in the world of Kexue, the probability of guessing a detective is much higher.
"Yes. Don't look at me as just a high school student, but I've solved quite a few cases. β
Seliang Zhenchun smiled, revealing his small tiger teeth.
"I didn't expect that the current high school students are already so powerful. When I used to go to high school, I just lived an ordinary campus life until I graduated. Although it was smoother, it always felt too bland, and it would be best if I could have more knowledge. β
She lied.
If the rain of bullets is called dull, it is estimated that the reshaping of the world can be called passionate ups and downs.
"Actually, sometimes, maybe it's better to be bland, and I envy that kind of life."
Although Xiaolan had a smile on her face, she always felt a little bitter.
If it can be plain, maybe she can be stable with Kudo Shinichi until graduation, or even finally to the stage of getting married and having children.
Happiness in the ordinary is sometimes more precious.
"I'll tell you a secret, in fact, her boyfriend is a detective! In order to solve the case, someone always doesn't come back, which makes Xiaolan worried, so she envies that kind of life. β
"Garden!"
Xiaolan pretended to be angry.
The instant flushed face obviously told everyone that she was shy.
"Boyfriend is a detective? Could it be that the three of you are detectives, or that your family is engaged in this business, right? β
It's like hereditary.
The son of a doctor grows up to become a doctor, and the son of a lawyer grows up to become a lawyer.
"Ahh I've solved a few cases, but I'm not a detective! However, Xiaolan's father is a famous detective, and he is the 'sleeping Kogoro'. β
When people hear the name "Sleeping Kogoro" or "Mori Kogoro", they are always surprised at first, and then look like they suddenly realize.
The lines are almost as if they had been communicated in advance, in a tone of surprise adoration.
Said: It turns out that you are the famous Maori Kogoro!
But obviously, such a routine has not been realized in Qinghai Chuantang.
"Sleeping Kogoro?"
Her tone was very confused, then she shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I just returned to Japan, so I haven't had time to read the news media or anything like that." β
As soon as the words ended, the group stopped, because they had reached their destination.
"Thank you so much this time."
"It's just a small thing."
After waving goodbye to the three of them, Qinghai Chuantang turned around and took out the key from the bag, opened the door and walked into the house.
The first thing you do when you enter the interior is to take out the signal detector and check if there is anything like a bug installed.
Nothing to do with victim paranoia.
It's just that after experiencing it, I have an extra eye and begin to pay attention.
After checking that there were none, the curtains in each room were closed again, creating a seemingly airtight space.
Thankfully, I don't have claustrophobia.
She prefers this kind of scene, as if there is only herself in the whole world. I didn't feel lonely, I just sat quietly and did what I wanted.
I was about to turn on the TV when I suddenly remembered something.
It's time to feed the fridge.
Sighing helplessly, he took out an umbrella and prepared to go out again.
The rain outside is much lighter, but if the flying drizzle hits your face, you still feel a little uncomfortable.
She doesn't have a penchant for rain, so she doesn't like rainy days.
Hazy and gloomy, sometimes it is easy to affect people's mood.
"Friend, do you want a ring?"
An old man dressed strangely blocked her way.
Qinghai Chuantang said angrily: "I don't propose, why should I buy a ring?" β
After saying that, I wanted to bypass him and leave.
"Wait! If you leave like this, won't the role of Gray Yuan Mourning disappear? β
With these words, she stopped and looked back at the other party.
Looking at the old man in front of him, Qinghai Chuantang asked tentatively: "Should you be, is it the pit goods of the plug-in Jun?" β
Although thanks to the plug-in, he has gained some abilities beyond the natural world. But that doesn't mean that her relationship with it will become friendly.
The old man coughed lightly and said he couldn't understand what she was saying.
"All in all," he said, he continued, "this ring is from the Suzuki Express." As long as you have it, you can enter the main story, isn't it very exciting? β
Finally escaped the power of the main line, and now you want to let yourself fall into the quagmire again?
Qinghai Chuantang smiled and said, "I didn't hear what you just said." I'm still in a hurry to buy groceries, goodbye...... Oh no, it should never be seen again. β
Something suddenly remembered, so she didn't leave right away.
"What did you mean when you just said that the character of Gray Plains will disappear?"
If she remembers correctly, this scene of suspended animation, thanks to Kidd's help, was very smooth in the end.
"Want to know?"
The old man smiled cheaply, "You beg me!" β
Qinghai Chuantang snorted coldly, turned around and was about to leave.
If the other party's purpose is to go by himself, he will find a way no matter what. Even if she wants to leave, she will use all kinds of coercion and inducement, or trade, which is obviously fairer.
It's like the mission of the game, if you don't have all kinds of experience, money, and item rewards, why waste time?
"Wait, don't go! Let's renegotiate, how about fair trade? β
"Okay."
Qinghai Chuantang turned his head and showed a triumphant smile.
Everything was within her expectations.
The old man coughed lightly, and then explained, "Kidd the Monster Thief belongs to the main characters of "Magic Fight". And the plot of Suzuki Express also belongs to the main line, but it belongs to "Detective Conan", and the worldview of the two is completely different. β
For example, there is a witch in "Magic Fight", but "Detective Conan" is not ordinary, at most Ke has learned a little.
If the former is magical, then the latter has a strong sci-fi atmosphere.
Therefore, in the main line of this world, yes, it is true that Kidd will not be allowed to join.
"In exchange, you get a random ability. Doesn't that sound like a good value? β
Plug-in products must be high-quality.
Lie detection, hypnosis, profiling, if there is another illusion, it will be perfect.
Qinghai Chuantang thought in his heart.
"Deal."
After weighing it, she naturally agreed.
"Because butterflies are so big, everything is brand new, so don't try to rely on what you know and do whatever you want."
The bottom line is that every step of the way is unexpected.
"So now, let's start the exciting raffle!"
As she spoke, a huge golden rabbit landed in front of her, looking a little stupid.
Qinghai Chuantang, who had long been accustomed to this posture, pulled the raised rabbit paw down, and the turntable on its chest began to rotate.
This made her feel a little nervous and apprehensive.
After all, my luck, if you have a thank you for your patronage, you can only get a minimum allowance, and it is a bit miserable to be familiar.
When the turntable stopped, the hands stopped in an unexpected place, but it was reasonableβ
Magic.
If you want to complete this scene of suspended animation without Kidd, it seems that this is the best alternative.
It was only when she was back on the street that she suddenly came to her senses.
It turned out that he had unknowingly entered the illusion created by the other party.
It's no wonder that I wondered why it wasn't very late, but there was no one on the street.
Now, pedestrians are still busy.
