Chapter 143: The Mask
There is no curse on the masquerade.
This point, Qingming can be sure, because he himself can curse, so he knows more about curses.
But he couldn't analyze another curse.
Conan.
Under the aura of death, something will happen wherever you go.
As long as there is a place where he appears, it is normal for dead people to happen, and occasionally serial murders and the like will pop up, and even if there are no dead people, something will happen.
Or is it worth setting off firecrackers to celebrate if there are no dead people?
This time, however, the dead man.
In the middle of the night, a large group of people ran around the villa, shouting, and it was quiet after half an hour.
After another hour or so, the Twilight Police Department led the team here.
"So it's you again."
Some of the sleepy Twilight Police Department looked at Maori Kogoro, Conan, and Ran with blank faces.
Recently, almost as long as the police go out, you can see this family.
The same is true now.
At night, I slept at home, but I was woken up by the phone and ran over with a group of men, so I saw the Maori family again.
Moreover, what mask of the curse is in the home of the deceased?
No, no, that's not the point.
The point is to invite the real curse to the house.
Aim at the Maori family.
Then he sighed helplessly, and ordered his police to start investigating and collecting evidence.
Police and detectives are investigating the case.
Others, dressed and waiting in the dining room.
Haruka Nagara, Mamoru Matsudaira, Masaki Katagiri, Fuyuya Rankawa, and Nami Shimogasa and Minaho Shimogasa, twin maids.
And, of course, Qingming and Xiaolan.
Qingming didn't care about other messy things, he just said something to Nami Shimogasa, who was standing in the corner with his hands clasped and standing in the corner.
What are you talking about?
Xiaolan felt a little curious about this.
There was nothing else to do, so I just walked straight over there.
"Qingming."
First screamed.
waited until Qingming and the two maid ladies focused their attention on her before asking.
"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing."
With a faint smile on his face, Qingming shook his head slightly.
Then he looked at the two maids.
"It's just to invite Honami and Minaho to work with me."
"Oh."
Xiaolan nodded understandingly.
She also remembered that when she first arrived here, Qingming said that she came here to find a maid, and at that time she wondered how Qingming would come to such a place to find a maid......
"Huh?"
Xiaolan suddenly felt that something was wrong.
How did Qingming know that he would definitely find a maid when he came here? Did you know in advance that something like this was going to happen?
"No, no, no."
Xiaolan shook her head, denying her own somewhat frightening idea.
Qingming is a good person.
At least she thinks Qingming is a good person.
Although he always doesn't go to school, although he always does some pranks, this can only say that Qingming's character is a little worse, and it doesn't mean that he is the kind of cold-blooded person who knows that someone will be killed and still watches.
"Impossible."
Xiaolan has come to such a conclusion and is willing to believe such a conclusion.
But is it really impossible?
I have to say that in Xiaolan's world, everything is so beautiful, and she is also willing to believe in the existence of beauty, so she believes that her friends will not do anything bad, and she also believes that her friends are not the kind of indifferent and cold-blooded people.
It's a pity that Qingming is an exception.
It looks like a sunny boy, but if you cut it open, it must be black inside.
How dark is it?
Now looking out of the window, how dark the outside world is, how dark Qingming is.
Even, darker than that.
The so-called "Sunshine Boy" is just a disguise, a disguise used to deceive ignorant girls, Lori, and young girls, including Xiaolan, such a disguise has deceived many people.
And the next, or the next two victims, are obviously Nami Shimogasa and Minaho Shimogasa.
Unfortunately, they were targeted by Qingming.
What's even more unfortunate is that they have not been able to see through Qingming's true face at all.
……
People wear masks.
For example, Qingming, and Su Fanghongzi.
To some extent, Qingming and Su Fanghongzi may be regarded as the same kind of person, a good person on the surface, or a hypocrite?
However, they are different after all.
Qingming is certainly not a good person, but he has never said that he is a good person, and he will not deliberately do some good deeds.
Su Fanghongzi is different.
She is a "philanthropist", a "philanthropist" who often does good deeds, and she is very famous.
However, now, the mask of this "philanthropist" has been removed, revealing its original face: using charity to enrich oneself and make a lot of money.
The one who removed this mask was Lanchuan Fuyuya.
A few years ago, Su Fanghongzi ran away after hitting and killing someone with his car, and the charges were placed on his mother's body.
Then his mother committed suicide.
It wasn't until a while ago that he learned the truth from his mother's diary.
So today, Su Fanghongzi was sent to hell mercilessly.
Maybe she will repent in hell?
It doesn't matter.
The important thing is that a case was solved by Maori Kogoro (Conan) again, and Qingming still has no performance in this case.
He's not a detective, he's just a coffee shop owner.
Someone who expects a coffee shop owner to investigate a case and make a big splash must be doing something wrong.
Anyway, it was dawn.
……
Morning.
The guests, as well as the police, left the place one after another.
Qingming got into Maori Kogoro's car, after all, they were going home, and the first floor of their house was a coffee shop.
On a new day, I naturally have to go to the coffee shop.
Xiaolan sat in the passenger seat.
Suddenly remembered something, and turned his head to look at Qingming, who was sitting behind.
"Qingming."
"Huh?"
Qingming, who had been looking at the scenery outside the car window, looked back at her.
On his face, he still has that deceptive, sunny-looking smile.
"What's wrong?"
"Aren't you going to let Miss Honami and Miss Minaho go to the manor to be maids? Did they say yes? ”
"Of course, they'll come to me in a few days."
Qingming nodded.
This has been said, and both Nami Shimogasa and Minaho Shimogasa agree to work at the manor.
They're looking for a new job anyway.
And wherever they work, they are all jobs, and they are also professional maids, and the treatment given by Qingming is also very good, so they agreed.
However, there are still a lot of things that need to be dealt with later, so they will go to Qingming in a few days.
"That's great."
Xiaolan also smiled.
Conan, who was sitting in the back seat with Qingming, looked at Qingming with some suspicion.
Qingming, who basically doesn't leave the coffee shop, suddenly came here, just to find two maids to go back?
It's also weird.
However, he didn't think about what Qingming could do other than this, so he didn't think much about it.
Xiaolan continued to speak.
"By the way, Qingming, you'd better go to school tomorrow."
She said.
Then without waiting for Qingming to find any excuses, he directly said the reason.
"Because the school festival of Didan High School is coming.,As a member of the second-year B class.,You can't be absent.,The absence of that guy in Shinichi is already very infuriating.。
Speaking of Kudo Shinichi, Xiaolan was unhappy for a while.
The guy had been gone for so long, and he didn't know where he went, what he was doing, and he barely had any contact.
It's very hot.
"Oh."
Qingming nodded, as if thoughtful.
For some reason, Conan felt that Qingming seemed to glance at him, but when he looked closely, he found that Qingming was just looking at the world outside the car window.
"I see."
Qingming yawned and spoke.
"I'll just go for a trip, I haven't seen Naoko for a long time, well, shouldn't I bring Naoko to Azi?"
This seems to be possible.
