Chapter 189: Magic War—Lan Xue

"Sister Lan, do you know the meaning of the word ran?" Conan accentuated the pronunciation of the word "orchid". looks like I know a lot about this word and have known it for a long time.

"Conan-kun?" Xiaolan lowered her head slightly, looking at Conan thoughtfully.

The word orchid refers to a plant, a plant with a good meaning. Of course, with Japan's contact with the West, from the 18th to the 19th century, Japan made efforts to learn from the Netherlands in order to master Western science and technology. ”

"And just now, Mrs. Suzuki said that peacock green (ブリリアント·グリーン) is グリーン (katakana of green). Of course, in Japan, we are more accustomed to saying 緑 (みどり). ”

"In China, there is a saying that 'green is taken from blue'." Conan explains, "The Chinese of 青 corresponds to the hiragana name is 緑 (みどり), and in Japanese, the Chinese of 青 is pronounced 青 (あお)." The word blue in Chinese is 青 (あお) in Japanese. ”

As for the word lan, it is pronounced in Chinese with the same pronunciation as the blue character. Therefore, there is also a usage of writing blue as blue. Conan spoke eloquently, while Xiaolan on the side lowered her head, obviously looking thinking and observing Conan.

"So, as Mrs. Suzuki said, the most suitable guest should be Sister Xiaolan."

"Hey, is it me?" Xiaolan looked surprised, and she didn't expect that the lucky audience was herself.

"Although I originally thought that Mrs. Suzuki would never pass on the so-called family heirloom to a stranger, even if the stranger was her daughter's best friend. But, Du Kang, Du Kang's brother's words inspired me - did Mrs. Suzuki really attach so much importance to the so-called Dark Star Pearl Gem? ”

"Or rather, the dark star itself is just a small souvenir for Kidd to invite the thief Kidd over to the banquet, and as a small souvenir for Kidd not to interrupt the atmosphere of the banquet." Conan stared at the gem on Ran's dress and said, "Mrs. Suzuki is not extremely confident that Kidd will never steal this gem, but she is extremely confident that Kidd will definitely be able to find this gem. In order to prevent Kidd from finding the gem, he even told everyone in the form of telling Uncle Maori, or the thief Kidd who was hidden in the crowd, the real location of the gem. ”

Conan thought of Du Kang, and then put himself in Du Kang's place, using Du Kang's own feelings to reverse Simulate Du Kang, to make a bold and reasonable speculation about the entire Dark Star and the Kidd Thief incident.

Sometimes simulating someone else's point of view, although you may not really be able to see someone else's view, can really bring yourself a new composition.

Imitation is the foundation of all artistic learning. Or actively, or inadvertently.

"If Mrs. Suzuki is not sure whether the thief Kidd will cooperate tacitly, she can even find a well-known magician. After Kidd steals the Dark Star and disappears, he reappears, revealing that Kidd was just played by this magician. to maintain the whole banquet, and even push the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax. And everyone will even sigh that the Suzuki Foundation can invite a magician who can confuse the real with the real thief Kidd. ”

Conan used Du Kang's "slander" against the detective on Moonshadow Island, unscrupulously bringing himself into the perspective of this tea fan screenwriter, trying to compose tonight's banquet in the most lively way.

"After all, no one could have imagined that someone would use the truth to deceive him." This sentence is no longer Conan's reading white, but a perfectly beautiful female voice from Xiaolan's mouth.

"Conan-kun, that's amazing." Xiaolan bent over and looked at Conan with a smile, "What a detective—"

"Shinichi Kudo."

"Where!" Conan listened to the familiar voice and shirked it awkwardly. And this slightly hypocritical shirk exposes his inner satisfaction.

And as if he entered the sage mode and began to think about life after being satisfied, Conan began to enter the rational mode after his reasoning was praised by Xiaolan and entered a state of self-satisfaction, and suddenly found that he was still stuck unconsciously.

Pretty women can deceive. It is even worse to get along with the beautiful woman who grew up with herself day and night to deceive people.

"Sister Xiaolan, you're wrong. I'm Detective Conan Edogawa. It's not the new brother. ”

"Don't habitually add the name of the new brother to the back of the detective, people will be unhappy." Conan pretended to be a child with an aggrieved expression and looked at Xiaolan like this.

"Oh, really?" Xiaolan looked at Conan with a knowing expression.

Reason returned, Conan thought. Clear your mind and find out if there is any information you have lost.

"After all, how can there be anything or a way in the world to turn a high school student into an elementary school student?" Conan conceived the words, not using the phrase "how can there be a 'medicine' in the world that turns high school students into elementary school students", trying not to leave potential hints and traces, "Do you say it, Sister Xiaolan." ”

"No, it's Kidd the Thief."

"Oh, why?" Xiaolan was not embarrassed by the revelation of her identity, but cooperated with Conan to continue the reasoning game.

"Although I have to say, the Xiaolan you imitated itself makes me unable to see any traces. But how do you explain the dark star on your chest? ”

"Oh, this gem?" Xiaolan lowered her head and looked at the dark star she was wearing on her chest, "Isn't this a fake that Mrs. Suzuki sent to everyone?" It's like the real thing, but it's the Suzuki Foundation after all. ”

"That's right, that's right, the Suzuki Foundation is indeed very wealthy, and it is not very difficult to give each customer a counterfeit that is exactly the same as the real thing. However, the point is not how much the gemstone is the same as the real gemstone. Rather, why do you have this gem. Conan said confidently.

One big and one small.

One man and one woman.

Conan didn't seem to care that Kidd was playing Ran, and kicked the soccer ball against the steel wall of the ship that he didn't know where it came from. And Xiaolan lowered her head slightly, staring at Conan who was playing football, thoughtfully.

Even at night, the lights in the cabin corridor stand out.

However, in Conan's eyes, Xiaolan in front of him is like a portrait photo under a lens with a wide aperture of 200mm f/1.8 - no depth of field, only people. No matter how far away the world is, I only have you in my eyes.

For Xiaolan, the lens is the same as Conan's f1.8, and her focal length is a fixed focus of 50mm, but the aperture is not wide open - the most in line with the human eye. People are in the scene, and there are people in the scene, so it is humanistic.

"Shinichi!" With hatred and a fierce voice, it suddenly came out of Xiaolan's mouth.

And this sentence is enough to break my train of thought just now.

If Conan didn't know that he had guessed the identity of the thief Kidd at this time, then he wouldn't have been in the first grade of elementary school for so many years.

At the end of the day, even if you use the same camera as others, they will later. And people are more calm, able to climb the stairs in advance, and get ready at the seat. Naturally, you will be able to take pictures of scenery that is different from yours.

Even, even if the two of you take the same photo, they are more educated than you and can say what you want to express, whether the treatment of light comes from the Dutch school or the French school, and whether the effect of the depth of field comes from Monet or Wang Ximeng. And you, on the other hand, can only ask awkwardly and rhetorically, "Is this picture bad", or generally pick a sentence from the post bar "Poison Virtue University, sharp milk", completely ignoring that you can't afford to use a real German camera at all.

After all, what supports the former is not only the equipment, technology and methods, but even the one on the toilet, but also a whole set of worldviews and methodologies.

"Are you really Sister Xiaolan?" Conan put his hands behind his back, and the anesthetic watch continued. Approaching, raising his head, observing Xiaolan, who should be familiar to him but can no longer be familiar.

"Whether it's the appearance or the voice, there is no flaw in these two points." An expression that does not give up and resolutely does not believe that the person in front of him is Xiaolan. It seems to be facing Xiaolan, who may be imitated by the strange thief Kidd, and uses satisfaction to make him inadvertently expose his flaws.

Looking at Xiaolan looking at herself with a smile and deep meaning, Conan at this time, even if he felt the sea breeze blowing through him, his back still couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"It's just that that sentence doesn't look like Sister Xiaolan you can say." Conan said this in a way that would be acceptable to both Kidd and Ran on the other side. In short, first mix up the current level of your own identity.

And this retrospective, or rather discussive, discourse inspired Conan, who uttered it.

A bolt of blue lightning streaked across Conan's black mind.

"That's right, that sentence is not something Xiaolan can say."
