Chapter 131: The Back of the Moon
On the ferry from Lunaris Island, Du Kang sits with the Maori family and Belmodo. On the table is Du Kang's signature takeaway sushi from Moonshadow Island, with canned beer in front of the adults and orange juice in front of the two minors.
"Oh, so much happened?" Xiaolan couldn't believe it.
Xiaolan, who is protected by Belmodo, has no idea about the risks of the outside world.
It's not that there is no danger in the outside world, but that someone keeps it out for you.
Mori Kogoro sipped, sipped sushi, and succinctly recounted the series of events that took place on Moonshadow Island from beginning to end.
"That's wonderful, Johnny." Belmodo leaned his head on Dukang's shoulder, looking intimate.
"I thought Du Kang knew that it was Dr. Chengshi when he dipped the score in blood, but I didn't expect to know it that night." Xiaolan, who was next to Belmore, suddenly said.
"What?" Although he thought that Xiaolan was by his side and should have some reasoning ability, he didn't expect that when Xiaolan heard the blood-dipped score, he thought that Du Kang knew that Asai Narumi was the last hand.
Conan himself recalled that when he saw the blood-dipped score, he didn't expect Du Kang to know the truth of the matter.
"Oh, why, Ran?" Mori Kogoro doesn't understand why his daughter has a sense of trust in Du Kang. This is not normal.
There was originally a high school detective, which made Maori Kogoro very unhappy, but now there is a Du Kang, who is still about the same age as himself, and his daughter is interested in him, which naturally maximizes Maori Kogoro's sensitivity.
"Why, Sister Xiaolan?" Conan obviously wondered why Xiaolan would take it for granted that Du Kang knew that Asai was the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Because, Du Kang is a doctor." Xiao Lan said as a matter of course, "Your new brother went out with me last time and ran into Du Kang. Your new brother knows that, too. I remember that there was no coagulated blood on the knife on the murder weapon last time, and Du Kang found it. ”
"It was me last time, too." Conan said secretly in his heart, but on the surface he didn't say anything.
"If you can compose music before the time for blood clotting, then you must be a doctor. If it weren't for Du Kang, it would only be Dr. Chengshi. Xiaolan said as a matter of course.
At this time, Mori Kogoro and Conan looked at Du Kang again.
"At that time, he had already told us the name of Asai Narumi?" Conan couldn't help but feel afraid, "At that time, I almost directly pointed out the identity of Asai Narumi." Isn't he afraid that Asai Narumi will jump off the wall in a hurry when he is finally cornered? ”
"At that time, he was obviously saying to Asai Narumi - 'I know you are the murderer'. No, he knew about it when he was in the izakaya "Turandot" before. No, it should have been during the performance of "The Demon King", Du Kang and Asai Narumi should have already passed the qi. In other words, Du Kang has been indulging in Asai Narumi. Conan always felt a little strange that Du Kang couldn't save Asai Narumi because of his invasion.
I can't say that Du Kang's words are wrong, but I feel that Du Kang should be able to have a more careful plan.
"He's such a smart person, there should be a better way, right?" Conan thought so.
"Now that I think about it, sure enough, Du Kang actually didn't have any intention of saving Asai Narumi all along." Conan looked at Du Kang, who was dazed as he was clinking glasses with Mori Kogoro, and felt that he was really not as simple as he thought.
"Ah, if Shinichi was here, he would definitely be able to react." Xiaolan said, "After all, he has heard the analysis of blood clotting time that Du Kang said before, and he will definitely be able to react this time." ”
"yes, if Kudo comes, maybe he will be able to understand Du Kang's dumb riddle." Belmodo, who was next to Xiao Lan, put his arm around Xiao Lan and said so, without throwing a wink at Conan, "Du Kang, that guy always likes to play stalks, which makes people stunned." ”
Dukang, who noticed that Belmodo was flattering Conan, didn't say anything.
"Hehe, it's a pity that I'm Shinichi, and I didn't react." Listening to Xiaolan and Belmodo blowing each other over there, Conan was also MMP in his heart. Conan looked at Belmodo, who was saying this, and suddenly felt that he was being abused.
As everyone knows, Du Kang feels the same way.
"Hey, Lan is right. Obviously, I heard Du Kang analyze the time of blood clotting once last time, and if this was before, I would definitely be able to remember that if I could complete the score of dipped blood in one breath before the blood clotted in the wound, in addition to being proficient in music theory, I should definitely also be proficient in physiology. Hey, I seem to be deliberately ignoring it. Conan couldn't help but be an afterthought.
"Speaking of which, I thought I'd be able to meet Shinichi Kudo this time." Belmodo, who hugged Xiaolan's arm, said.
"I'm right here." Conan complained in his heart speechlessly, and then as if he suddenly thought of something.
"No, that blood-dipped score, Du Kang specifically said to Asai Chengshi, it's completely redundant. Obviously, he had already passed the qi before, and he said it again when he dipped the score in blood, which was completely redundant. Conan suddenly thought of something.
"No, Du Kang didn't say it to Asai Narumi. He told me that. No, it's for Shinichi Kudo. Conan suddenly remembered what Du Kang said in the burning public hall - "Conan, you are too slow. ”
"He's waiting for me inside." Conan pondered, "If it's Kudo Shinichi, Kudo Shinichi, who has experienced the roller coaster incident with him, should have a deeper understanding of blood clotting time." If I reflect on it at that time, it will confirm that I am actually Shinichi Kudo. ”
"Yes, he thought I had something to do with Kudo Shinichi from the beginning, after all, it doesn't make sense to look like it's reasonable, so it doesn't make sense that my ears are so similar. Yes, he has been suspicious of me, and when I denied that I had any blood relationship with Kudo Shinichi, he simply boldly suspected that I was Kudo Shinichi, so he directly tempted me to tell the point of the time of blood clotting when I dipped the score in blood. ”
The more Conan thought about it, the more scary he felt, and looked at Du Kang, "Obviously, a drunken man who is no different from Maori Kogoro next to him has such a deep design, and if it weren't for his bad state, plus hindsight, he wouldn't know that he was in the trap." ”
"Is he waiting for me to show his stuff in the public hall?" Conan pondered the circumstances in which he might be exposed.
"No, I've shown the ability to reason. If I hadn't shown up at the public hall, I would have really been exposed. Conan pondered dialectically, "If I take the initiative to step on the line of blood clotting time, then I will be out directly." Because elementary school students shouldn't know about those, even some people who are not related majors, shouldn't know. In other words, if you know this clotting time, it is equivalent to a direct affirmation that I am the Kudo Shinichi who knows the clotting time. ”
"But I didn't touch this line of clotting time. There are two possibilities, one is that I am not Kudo Shinichi, and the second is that I am Kudo Shinichi, and I can see that he is testing me. Conan went on to analyze.
"How to test me if I am the first possibility or the second possibility. Du Kang set up another game and used Asai Chengshi as bait. If I hadn't been Shinichi Kudo, then I, who had the ability to reason, would definitely have to pass. But if I'm Shinichi Kudo, but I find a trap he gave me, I must be careful step by step, and I can't go alone when I'm in the public hall, but I may find someone else to go, and I'll hide by myself. Or simply find a bunch of people to go to. Conan analyzed Du Kang's thinking according to his usual behavior style.
"I broke in alone, anyway, it proves that I am just a thoughtful and showy child." Through the previous analysis, Conan deduced the meaning of his actions in the public hall.
"It's safe. It's safe for me to pass alone. Conan took a sip of the non-alcoholic drink in front of him, which was exceptionally sweet.
