"You seem to have misunderstood something."

Qingming lowered his head and did not look at Asai Chengshi.

Just flipping through the books.

"I haven't saved anyone, and the Asai Narumi I know is a pseudo-mother disguised as a woman, and she has been buried in the fire."

This girl really has a big heart, is she afraid that others will not know her true identity?

Didn't continue to think about it.

Asai Narumi, but seems to understand something.

But she didn't play dumb.

"I'm leaving, going to a medical school on the continent of Europa, maybe I won't come back in the future, before leaving, I want to thank you."

It's okay to leave.

It's neon after all, and the neon police seem a little incompetent.

But after all, it's the police.

It's safer to get out of here and go somewhere no one knows.

Qingming didn't say anything about this, and didn't even raise his head.

He just waved his hand.

Maybe you don't want to say anything more to her, or maybe you just want her to leave.

It doesn't matter.

Asai understood what he meant, but just smiled all over his face.

"Thank you very much, I already know your address here, if I can, I will write to you, if there is anything you need my help with, please do not hesitate to ask."

After saying goodbye, he left.

After she went out, Qingming raised her head, picked up the coffee on the counter, and took a sip.

Some people are just passers-by in life after all.

Will we see you again in the future?

God knows.

Outside the coffee shop.

"I'm going to Yuanzi's villa tomorrow, and I'm going to ask if Qingming is ready."

Xiaolan said to Conan.

But Conan didn't seem to pay attention to this, just looked at a girl who came out of the coffee shop with some curiosity.

She was dressed like an OL girl and looked beautiful.

As soon as I saw him and Xiaolan, I seemed to be stunned for a moment.

Then he smiled, put on his sunglasses and left, leaving only their backs.

"Huh?"

Xiaolan also seemed to find out, and was a little puzzled.

"Did you see that person somewhere?"

"Seems to be."

Conan wasn't just wondering, he was guessing about the possibilities.

Although the dress is different, the face shape has not changed, and the height has not changed......

"Miss Chengshi?"

Conan's eyes widened, in disbelief.

Xiaolan was also stunned for a moment.

Then he shook his head with a smile and waved his hand.

"How is that possible?"

The Asai Narumi they knew, whose bones were lost in the fire, could have appeared here.

Moreover, that Asai Narumi is a man, but the one just now doesn't look like a man.

"Impossible."

Anyway, Xiaolan doesn't believe it.

I didn't have too much guessing, and went straight into the coffee shop.

Conan thought about it and thought so.

Shaking his head helplessly, he also walked into the store.

It's just that deep down, I can't help but have some doubts.

Is Asai really dead?

After that, I inquired about the relevant information and learned that no bones were found.

It's not a crematorium, and under normal circumstances, it's not so simple to burn a corpse without bones.

But I didn't find it.

Therefore, in the police file, the person "Asai Narumi" is marked as missing.

Although everyone thinks that the other is dead.

Only now, Conan has doubts about it.

If, instead of dying, the other party was rescued, is it also possible?

Of course there is.

However, in that situation, no one could rush into the fire to save people.

Even if they did rush in, they wouldn't be unscathed.

But at that time, there was nothing wrong with Qingming's body......

"Maybe it's just overthinking."

Conan made a definition in his mind.

It's just that you may need to pay more attention to Qingming.

This international student, it seems, is not so simple.

……

Weekend.

If you want to go out in Qingming, it has always been very simple.

Carrying a backpack, holding a kettle for coffee and a cup, plus a little bit of other stuff.

And then it's gone.

Together with Xiaolan and Conan, I went to the mountainous area where Suzuki Sonoko's villa is located.

After getting out of the car, follow the map along the mountain road.

The air in the mountains is relatively fresh.

If it rains again, you can feel the difference.

The aroma of earth and vegetation is almost impossible to smell in the big city.

As a Taoist priest, he is more admiring nature.

In the final analysis, the abilities possessed by Taoist priests are evolved through the perception of nature.

Therefore, most Taoist priests live in seclusion in the mountains, perceiving nature in order to attain the Tao and ascend.

Although Qingming didn't know, he hadn't seen the legendary Ascension or not, and there was no record in the ancient books.

Maybe it's really just a legend.

Coming to the mountains also made Qingming feel a lot more comfortable.

Perhaps the properties of the belly black have also been purified.

It's just that the attributes of road idiots can't be changed.

Of course, Qingming will not admit this.

"How so...... I'm not very sensitive to maps, directions, etc., so it's better for Xiaolan to take it. ”

"This ...... So, then...... I'll do it myself. ”

Xiaolan was also a little embarrassed.

Holding the map, looking left and right, looking up and down, it turns out that every girl ......

"Hehehe."

Conan on the side, rolling his dead fish eyes, had a hehehe expression.

I've been walking in the forest for a long time, but I still haven't reached Suzuki's villa, and I can't even see people around, and I haven't found any buildings.

Are you really lost?

Two high school students, it's really not very reliable.

……

The wind blows, and the leaves shake.

The sunlight is divided into specks and scattered on the road.

Unknown wildflowers, fragrant.

Occasionally, one after another screams can be heard.

Is it a bird's call? Or is it the chirping of insects?

Even though it was afternoon, it was still so cool in the forest.

Under the tree, there is a layer of fallen leaves.

Further, maybe it's dead branches and rotting leaves?

Behind the glamour, there may be unbearable rot.

Qingming was immersed in his own emotion, and unconsciously, followed Xiaolan through one section of the road after another.

It was fast to the afternoon.

After wandering around for a long time, the group finally came to a small rift.

A suspension bridge that connects the two sides of the rift valley.

Across the suspension bridge, there is a villa.

It looks big, and it is estimated that it is not something that ordinary people can have.

And on the suspension bridge, there was also a man dressed in black, slowly moving forward.

Perhaps sensing someone behind him, the other party stopped and turned around.

What I saw was a man with a bandage on his head, like a mummy.

Unlike the sluggish mummy, this person's eyes were full of murderous aura.

Ran and Conan were frightened.

The other party didn't seem to want to be discovered, so he rushed directly towards the villa, went around to the side of the villa, and disappeared into the woods.

It's pretty fast.

"That'...... That person is probably going to the villa too. ”

"It should ...... No way. ”

Xiaolan and Conan don't seem to want to face such a terrifying person.

Qingming didn't care, just thoughtfully.

This time, it seems, something will happen.

Suzuki Sonoko's villa, her sister's class reunion, and a bandaged weirdo......

Sure enough, Sonoko Suzuki didn't invite Conan, and she was right.

It's a pity that Conan still came with him.

"What a tragedy!"
