The rain didn't last long and soon stopped.

Upstairs, Conan ran down a few elementary school students and said they were going with Ayumi.

Qingming did not stop it.

After Ayumi left, Akemi Miyano, who had slowly swallowed a cup of Meng Po soup coffee, also got up and walked over, checked out and left.

Before leaving, there seemed to be something he wanted to say to Qingming.

But in the end, I gave up.

Maybe I want to ask what the connection is between this Qingming and that Qingming.

But even if you ask, what?

It doesn't matter in itself, it won't change anything if you ask, and it won't change if you don't ask.

Just give up the entanglement.

Walking out of the coffee shop, I breathed in the air that seemed fresher after the rain.

Either way, take care of yourself.

……

Time passes slowly.

The crows are still working hard, and the black cats are also walking the streets and alleys.

The Taoist priest and the witch have never met, but in fact they are using various Taoist techniques and magic to test each other, and occasionally play pranks.

Over time, Qingming was a little eager to meet the witch.

But did not go.

I don't care about anything, I don't care about anything, and I spend a period of time in peace.

It's a new day.

Midday.

After lunch, Qingming stood at the door of the store.

On the street, a car drove slowly, and the road on both sides was full of people.

"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit."

People, only do what is good for themselves.

This is understandable.

After all, human beings are inherently selfish.

Raise your head and look at the sky.

"It's a nice day!"

So emotional.

Immediately, the gaze turns in a certain direction.

"It's going to come after all!"

……

Crow.

The pitch-black crow is so conspicuous in the daytime.

Spread his wings and fly from the roof here to the telephone pole over there, staring down with eyes as dark as his body.

The robbery took place.

A premeditated robbery, everything went so smoothly, so smoothly that it didn't look like they came to grab money, they just came to get it.

Only the elementary school student was an unexpected situation.

A schoolboy cannot be underestimated.

In particular, the existence of a certain bespectacled schoolboy who writes Edogawa Conan as a Grim Reaper.

Foot on Hot Wheels......

Stepping on a skateboard made by Dr. Asasa, he chased the robber's car fearlessly.

Sometimes I don't know whether to say that he is bold, or whether he should say that he is too confident, or perhaps too impulsive, the robbers are all adults, and there are guns, thinking that he can settle with his small props?

Or is it his own ingenuity?

I don't deny that he is indeed very smart, but because he is smart, he thinks that everyone else is stupid, but it is easy to be slapped in the face.

A slap in the face is just a small thing.

If you are caught up in these darkness, you will die.

That's not to say.

The crow has been giving behind, witnessing everything.

……

Although something a bit of an unexpected thing.

But overall, everything went smoothly, and a billion neon coins arrived smoothly.

To be honest, Akemi Miyano didn't know why the organization wanted to snatch the billion neon coins through such a method, and after so many years of development, such a huge organization would not have a little industry to send money to it?

Well, it's normal not to know if it's not a core member.

Anyway, she has completed the last task, and next, it depends on whether the other party will abide by the agreement.

Keep the promise to keep her and her sister out of the organization.

But the more times like this, the more uneasy my heart becomes.

"At least you can't give money to the other party until you see your sister."

That's what she thought.

So after getting the money, instead of putting it in the designated place according to the original plan, it was changed to another place.

She had to.

Because it was Gin (gin) who negotiated the conditions with her, the existence that made people feel a lot of pressure just by standing in front of her.

In the face of such a person, she had to be prepared.

"I just hope that there will be no twists and turns."

Akemi Miyano prayed silently.

……

The case is a matter for the police and robbers, and has nothing to do with ordinary people.

When the relevant news came out, ordinary people sighed a few words at most, and then continued to do their own things.

A new day.

Seeing the report of the robbery on the news, Azusa Enomoto was still a little surprised.

"A billion neon coins, just let people snatch them like this?"

“……”

"Shopkeeper, I'm going to talk to you."

"What?"

"Aren't you surprised? That's a billion neon coins, enough for the average person to live a rich life. ”

"So what? I'm not an ordinary person, I'm in the second class. ”

Qingming shrugged.

The famous class of the second year B class, if you want to change it to a number expression, it is the second class of the second year.

So there's nothing wrong with that.

In response, Azusa Enomoto just rolled her eyes.

It didn't matter, though, she just felt like she had suddenly discovered something.

"Shopkeeper ......"

If you don't understand something, just ask.

"You don't care about a billion neon coins?"

"What's there to care about?"

"What about a billion dollars?"

"To me it's just a pile of paper, not as useful as a few drawn talismans."

Qingming shrugged.

The valuable things in the eyes of the capable and the ordinary people are different, because the money and status in the eyes of the ordinary people are easy for the capable to obtain.

Azusa Enomoto looked at Qingming.

She kind of understood why Qingming didn't care about the reason why there were fewer customers in the store recently.

That turnover is not comparable to a billion dollars, or even a billion neon coins, and Qingming doesn't even care about a billion, how can he care about that turnover.

But speaking of symbols......

"The shopkeeper."

"Huh?"

"You draw so many talismans, do you have any amulets?"

"It depends on what kind of talisman you want, explain in advance, the so-called talisman is just to prevent something from approaching you, not everything can be prevented."

"So there are many kinds of amulets?"

"Hmm."

"Is there an amulet that will keep you from approaching?"

“……”

Qingming raised his head and looked at Azusa Enomoto.

Then a smile appeared.

"Looks like you're undergoing training again!"

“……”

……

Night.

It rained tonight, and although it wasn't heavy, it was chilling.

But for the crows, it didn't have any effect.

The pitch-black crow blended into the night, even more inconspicuous, as long as it didn't make a sound, it was estimated that no one would be able to detect the gaze from the darkness.

It's like the gaze of death.

Blend into the darkness, see through the darkness, and record some things that are not well known.

For example, the car that moves slowly forward, and the car that stops.

The windows rolled down, killing a man who had come out of the convenience store and drove away.

Another example is in an apartment building.

Kill the man lying on the bed, throw down the lipstick, and quietly leave.

This is the one who lives in the dark.

For them, killing is just a daily routine, and they are used to killing and killing, and there is only numbness in their hearts, and there is no longer the slightest mercy.

Compared to them, Qingming is definitely kind.

Although occasionally do some pranks.

However, through the crow accustomed to seeing these darkness, will Qingming be assimilated by the darkness?

Maybe.

Or maybe not.

How the thread of fate will walk, no one can know.

Even if it's Qingming, it's not good.

Although he can tell fortunes, in essence, it is only the most likely one from the countless possibilities in the future.

Perhaps not the most likely, because the future is changing all the time.

What cannot be changed is the past.

Any choice you make now has the potential to change the future and will eventually become a thing of the past.

Late at night.

in the coffee shop.

"Ahh

Sitting at the counter, Qingming, stretched.

Some people don't have a choice, and some people always have to choose from many choices.

Qingming is the latter.

So in the matter of Akemi Miyano, he also faced a choice.

Is it to reach out?

Or sit idly by?

God knows.
