Chapter 19: Goals?

Night.

For Kogoro Mori, it was clear that cake would not satisfy his appetite.

But there was nothing but cakes and cookies.

So I can only sit there and eat cake with a depressed face.

"It's all that bastard who did it!"

He thought so.

The so-called bastard boy naturally refers to Conan.

If it weren't for Conan's failure to come home at night, Xiaolan wouldn't be so worried.

If Xiaolan wasn't so worried, she wouldn't have stopped cooking dinner.

If Xiaolan had made dinner, he wouldn't have to nibble on cake here.

So it's all Conan's fault.

At this moment, Maori Kogoro, who is full of resentment, is estimated to be about to turn black.

It is foreseeable that when Conan returns, he will definitely be taught a lesson.

Qingming just gloated about this, and then continued to sit at the counter and read.

How Conan will be taught a lesson has nothing to do with him.

For Qingming, the more important ......

Hey, what's more important?

Scratching my head, I thought about it and suddenly realized that it was a problem.

It seems that for him, nothing is more important.

"Should you really set a small goal first?"

For example, make 100 million first?

However, 100 million does not seem to be difficult.

For the current Qingming, it is relatively simple to want 100 million, and there is no challenge.

After all, he is not an ordinary person, as far as the ability of a Taoist priest is concerned, whether he is on the right path or on the wrong path, he can easily start with 100 million.

How about making the coffee shop bigger?

Think about it, when there will be a coffee shop in every country, every city, and every street in the world, how rewarding it will be.

But after thinking about it, I gave up on this idea again.

"Forget it, let's keep reading."

Shaking his head, he continued to look through the books in his hand.

If you really want to say it, at this time, you should learn from Uncle Snake to pursue immortality.

After all, it's not an ordinary person.

And there is also that qualification, the Taoist priest himself is the existence of the pursuit of immortality.

Or even eternal life.

Unfortunately, it seems that no one has succeeded yet.

After all, does immortality really exist?

Qingming fell into thinking about this problem again.

……

Xiaolan made a lot of calls, but couldn't find them.

Neither Conan, nor the other three children, came home, and no one knew where they were.

This made Xiaolan a little uneasy.

After struggling for a long time, I still went downstairs to find Qingming.

Quantum's case is a good example, although she doesn't know how Qingming helped Quantum find the kidnapped child.

But according to what Quantum told her, she found it unconsciously anyway, without any delay.

Perhaps, Qingming is really good at finding people.

Of course, it is not enough to rely on Qingming alone, in the final analysis, Qingming is an international student.

Although it has been half a year since I came to Neon, I basically haven't gone out much, so it can be said that I am still unfamiliar with life.

Therefore, in addition to asking Qingming to help, you have to go to the police.

When he walked into the coffee shop, Kogoro Mori was still concentrating on the cake.

Qingming, as always, sat at the counter and read a book.

Speaking of which, what kind of book is he reading?

Xiaolan suddenly thought of this question.

Every time she came in, Qingming was almost reading a book, but she didn't know what it was, and she didn't ask.

Maybe it's a classic handed down from ancient times?

After all, it seems that books are some years old.

But that's not the point.

"Qingming."

She opened her mouth and screamed.

Now the focus is to get Conan back.

This needs to be a race against time, after all, I don't know if something happened, so everything else has to be put back.

Xiaolan walked to the counter.

At this time, Qingming also put down the book and looked at her.

On his face, with a faint smile.

"Lan, are you going to eat cake too?"

Mori Kogoro said she hadn't cooked dinner, and it was so late.

If you continue to do so, you can have a late-night snack.

"It's not."

Xiaolan shook her head.

The matter was urgent, and she didn't talk nonsense.

"Conan hasn't come back yet, I've called and asked, the children haven't gone back yet, and no one knows where they are, Qingming, can you help find it?"

She clasped her hands together, clearly anxious.

Xiaolan is a person who doesn't know how to hide her emotions better, and her anxious mentality is very well shown on her face.

Qingming stared at her for a moment, then smiled.

"Of course, I'll help."

This is also a bit unexpected by Qingming, I didn't expect things to develop to this point.

Could it be that the mischievous rune paper and the death effect have increased the effect to the extent that it has become a curse?

If that's the case, you do have to bear a certain amount of responsibility.

"Calm down, where did they go?"

"The department store, saying that there is a Kamen Superman show there."

"Oh."

Qingming nodded understandingly.

It's just that the department store doesn't go home at night......

This kind of unfolding always feels a little familiar.

Delusion?

He was a little confused.

He can't be blamed for this, although he is a traverser, he doesn't remember much except for the impressive one.

At the end of the day, who remembers the little things that don't matter?

Anyway, Qingming won't.

So, although it sounded a little familiar, he didn't think much of it.

There is no point in thinking about this.

"Then I'll look for it in the department store."

"I'm going to find the Twilight Police Department."

The two worked together, Qingming was responsible for going to the department store, and Xiaolan went to the police.

After all, Xiaolan is familiar with the police, and she has often called the police recently.

In the end, Xiaolan left with Maori Kogoro.

After they left, Qingming took out a compass-like thing from the drawer.

The outer circle looks like gossip, the inner circle looks like copper, it looks smooth, and on top of it, there is a spoon-like thing.

Hold it in your left hand and finger your right hand a little on the spoon.

A flash of light flashed, and the spoon immediately floated, and after a few turns, the handle pointed in one direction, standing still.

This thing is called a spiritual compass, and it can detect the fluctuations of spiritual power.

The so-called spiritual power is a kind of magical energy that must be possessed as a Taoist priest.

With spiritual power, it is the Taoist who can use the ability to use the ability, and the ability to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts.

When using the ability, there will be strange fluctuations in spiritual power, and the role of the spiritual compass is to detect this fluctuation.

In the sachet that Qingming gave to Conan, he carried a piece of talisman paper, and from noon to now, twelve hours have not passed, which is still a valid time, so it can be detected.

The spiritual compass can be used for fuzzy sensing and precise induction, the former has a relatively large range, but can only provide an approximate direction, and the latter has a relatively small range, but can accurately locate the place where the spiritual power fluctuates.

Now I use the former, and I know a general direction.

Then he took out a stack of rune paper from the drawer and took it with him.

At the same time, he took out one and swiped it casually, and the rune paper suddenly seemed to be burned or burned, and a light flashed on his legs.

The magic talisman can increase the speed of walking and running, and it is not a dream to be faster than a car.

When you're ready, don't lock the door.

Except for the café, he ran directly in the direction pointed by the spiritual compass.
