Chapter 9: Moonlight
Revenge is a normal thing.
The Chinese people pay attention to revenge and revenge, but it is just misinterpreted by some people out of context as "repaying grievances with virtue".
There is no reason for anyone to prevent a man from taking revenge on his enemies.
Except for that boring justice.
Conan was a man who thought he was righteous, or the truth.
There is only one truth, this is his motto.
So he's constantly searching for the truth.
But does the truth have to be made public?
He may have never thought about it, and he hasn't hidden the truth.
Except that he is Shinichi Kudo.
In this regard, Qingming and his philosophy are different.
Qingming will not deliberately pursue the truth.
If the truth is known, it may be concealed, or it may be spoken.
But it may be only possible after all, something that has not yet happened.
There is indeed only one truth, but not all truths can be revealed to the world.
For example, fifteen years ago.
If it hadn't escaped, with the death of the insider, no one would have known the original truth.
But Narumi Asai is still alive.
Human beings are a life of feelings, and because of this, they want to take revenge.
If one day we don't even think about revenge, maybe human beings will lose their feelings.
Qingming doesn't think that feelings are a good thing.
This thing will only harm people, and hatred is born of feelings.
For example, Narumi Asai.
Whether the choice of revenge is right or not, no one can explain.
Because no one has the right to end the life of another.
Survival is the power of all people and all living beings.
But revenge is also the power that people should have.
There is a saying in Huaxia that says well, "The hatred of parents is not shared" and something like that.
Asai Narumi wants revenge, and this Qingming knows it.
Although he knew, Qingming did not intend to stop it.
He just planned to come over and take a look to see what the legendary puppet girl was like.
In the public hall, he met this legendary man.
It was a girl and a middle-aged man I met after being kicked out of the room with the piano.
The middle-aged man is a candidate for village head, Masato Shimizu.
As for the girl, it was Narumi Asai.
Xiaolan: They had met with Asai Narumi before, so they chatted.
Qingming didn't interject, just on the side, secretly observing.
A girl who looks to be in her twenties, wearing a ponytail, light makeup, and a black suit.
Tonight, a ceremony is held here to mourn the former village chief, so they are all dressed in black.
The eyes are a little big, the facial features are upright, and the girl who looks very delicate.
With a smile on his face, he looks very gentle, not much worse than Xiaolan, maybe he is so friendly to everyone.
"Looks like a nice girl."
Qingming nodded secretly and gave a conclusion in his heart.
His gaze was between his legs.
I just don't know if there is a murder weapon hidden in this location.
Maybe you can hurt each other.
But if you ignore this, it does look like a very good girl, although it's not a national color or something, but just a little makeup, it's just like that, and it's been able to kill a lot of girls in seconds.
Maybe it's a real mother?
Qingming thought to himself.
Asai Narumi didn't seem to notice that someone was looking at her, and smiled and chatted with Mori Kogoro and the others.
After that, they separated.
They were chased away by the secretary of the current village chief, saying that they were asked to wait at the entrance.
Mainly because of the previous piano room, saying that it was a cursed piano, Conan's kid did it all day, and he had to play it a few times.
Then the other party got angry and was kicked out.
For this point, Qingming actually disagrees with Conan's approach.
This kid is very good in everything else, but he is too obsessed with the truth.
And no matter what time it is, no matter whether there is a case or not, as long as you encounter something you don't understand, you will investigate it clearly.
Even went to other people's places, pretending to be stupid and cute to rummage through other people's cabinet drawers and the like.
He is both a defender and a destroyer of the law.
After all, there is also a right to privacy, without the right to investigate and without permission, casually going through other people's drawers and cabinets, isn't it a violation of privacy?
So Qingming doesn't feel very good about him.
Although this kid does have a set of investigations, it is not a reason to snoop on other people's privacy.
On the one hand, they shout about the law and human rights, and on the other hand, they ignore the law and human rights......
Well, I always feel that this set seems familiar.
Delusion?
Qingming was a little confused.
But there was no too much entanglement, and they went to the entrance outside with Xiaolan to wait.
……
Night falls.
Raise your head and look at the night sky.
Tonight, there is no wind and no stars in sight.
In the night sky, dark clouds drifted slowly, the round moon passed through the clouds, and we sat next to the ashes high high......
Well, no ashes, no heaps of grain.
Just sit on the steps outside the entrance.
Maori Kogoro was lying there, bored.
Conan sat there, thinking about something.
Xiaolan stood on one side against the pillar, and Qingming sat on the other side against the pillar.
In his hand, he was still holding a book and looking at it, and it seemed that he was really a nerd as Mori Kogoro said.
Perhaps bored, Lan walked behind him and glanced twice through the light peeking through the door.
There are some doubts.
"Qingming, can you see it when you read a book like this?"
"Ah, no problem."
Qingming nodded.
His eyesight is very good, and he can see things more clearly than ordinary people at night, so to speak, as long as there is light, even if it is a faint light, he can see.
Although it can't do the level of night vision, it's just that.
But if you use rune paper, Taoism or something, you can do it.
Of course, under normal circumstances, he would not casually show that kind of ability.
Xiaolan didn't understand this, and looked at it a few more times.
He shook his head.
She couldn't see anything, it was dark.
"But you read this book all day, what kind of book is this?"
"Hmm...... It's a Taoist scripture. ”
"Tao Jing?"
What's that?
Xiaolan hadn't heard of this kind of thing, so she didn't understand it very well.
Over there, Maori Kogoro glanced at Qingming.
What does he know about the Tao Sutra?
Or is it simply upset that Qingming is too close to his daughter?
I guess it's the latter, who let this uncle be controlled by a daughter.
As he spoke, a piano suddenly sounded in his ears.
It was a piece of music, and it sounded familiar.
Familiar people can hear it with a little discernment.
"Moonlight!"
Wait, moonshine?
Conan over there suddenly thought of something.
In the letter that Kogoro Mori received, it seemed that he said something like "On the night of the full moon, the shadows began to disappear".
Isn't it that the shadows are beginning to disappear......
"It's a motor (oh no)!"
Thinking of some kind of possibility, Conan quickly got up and rushed into the inside of the public hall.
Mori Kogoro and Ran followed.
Only Qingming took it slowly, putting the books into the backpack he carried with him.
Like Xiaolan, he came with a backpack with some essential supplies.
Through the open door, the crowd is found converging towards the piano room at the end of the hallway.
Suddenly, he grinned again, evoking a smile of unknown meaning.
"There is nothing more mad than hatred!"
