Chapter 223: I don't want to grow up

Xiaolan looks like she just came back from outside.

Carrying a large bag in his hand, it looks like ingredients or something.

"Do you want to go up and sit down?"

She opened her mouth to invite.

Even with strangers, she can talk very kindly, let alone the people she knows.

She's a good girl.

"No need."

Akane shook her head and declined her invitation.

"I'm going to look around, so I'm not going up, next time."

In this regard, Xiaolan did not force it.

After a few polite words, Akane said goodbye and left, and Xiaolan also went upstairs, she still had to cook dinner.

Akane continued to walk down the street.

Although it was a bit dangerous for a little girl who looked to be twelve or thirteen years old walking alone outside on a big night, she was not worried.

It's not really a little girl.

Moreover, the crows that can be seen almost everywhere in the city can also make her feel at ease.

If something really happens, Qingming will save her.

There were a lot of people on the street.

However, although they live in the same city, they are mostly strangers except for a few people.

Akane doesn't know anyone, either.

So she was alone, not knowing where to go or what to do.

"Maybe it's better to stay at the manor."

She thought so.

After a while, he shook his head with a somewhat self-deprecating smile.

"People are really fickle!"

sighed.

Keep going, look here and there.

Occasionally, the surroundings seem a little familiar, and even some of the people in the store seem to be a little familiar.

After recalling it carefully, I found that it seemed to be a street that I had often walked before.

"It seems that it is not yet time for things to be wrong!"

A smile on his face.

Walking all the way, his eyes were staring at two six or seven-year-old girls walking on the street holding hands, who looked very similar, and were probably twins.

Is this my sister taking my sister out to play?

Neither is it.

Those who followed with smiles on their faces were probably their parents.

Parents......

"Alas......"

Sigh softly.

Retracted his gaze, shook his head, kept smiling again, and continued walking.

Suddenly, but stopped.

His eyes looked at a man walking in front of him with some confusion, wearing a knitted hat, with no expression on his face, a burning cigarette in his mouth, and his hands in his trouser pockets.

Maybe that's what "cool"?

Akane thought so.

But what made her stop was not because of this, but because this man seemed a little familiar.

Where have you seen it?

Carefully recall, searching for memories that are not physical but real.

No.

There is no memory related to this man.

So why does it feel familiar?

She was a little puzzled.

And the man, too, stopped in front of her and stared at her.

There seemed to be some confusion in his eyes.

Long.

"The ......"

Akane raised her hand and asked in a somewhat weak tone.

"Have we met anywhere?"

“……”

The man did not answer.

Just looking at her, the originally puzzled eyes seemed to become a little surprised, and flickered, not knowing what she was thinking.

But in the end, it only seemed a little unbelieving and a little disappointed.

"Maybe."

He replied.

What is given is not an accurate answer.

The so-called "maybe", that is, you may or may not have seen it, is not a good answer.

Akane frowned slightly and looked at the man in front of her.

Then he shook his head and walked around to the side, without saying anything or looking back.

The man watched her back as she left.

"What a look!"

He muttered to himself.

It's very similar to his former lover, almost identical, except for height and age.

His former lover was in his twenties, but the little girl just now was only twelve or thirteen years old, a full ten years old.

"It's just like."

He spoke again.

In this world, there are many people who look alike, although it is rare to be so similar, but it is not impossible.

But it's just like.

His former lover is dead, this has been confirmed by many parties, and there is no doubt.

Merely......

After thinking for a long time, he reversed course and followed.

As an FBI investigator, if you find something suspicious, you naturally have to investigate it clearly.

Yes, it's just an investigation.

……

Conan is also investigating.

The Grim Reaper's aura worked again, and someone died, and it was none other than the female friend of Heaven Qinghua.

The police also arrived quickly.

The frequent occurrence of cases has well exercised the speed of the police, and they have also mastered the business ability very proficiently, and now they can do a good job of taking pictures and collecting evidence, cordoning off the scene, searching for witnesses and other things in the shortest possible time.

It's not too far from the scene of the crime, and it's someone they know, so Qingming, Ayumi and the twin maids were also invited to the scene.

Qingming doesn't mind that.

But even if he came, he just stood aside with Ayumi in his arms, watching the busy police and a certain detective.

Ayumi's gaze, but stared at the corpse for a moment.

Then he raised his head and looked at Qingming who was holding her.

"Ernie sauce Ernie sauce, when you say go to another world, is that what you mean?"

"Hmm."

Qingming responded.

Rather, the phrase "going to another world" generally refers to this kind of thing.

Ayumi didn't speak.

He stared at the corpse for a long time, as if he was a little puzzled.

"Ernie sauce, did Ernie sauce already know?"

"Well, I already knew."

Qingming nodded.

Looking at fortune telling, although he basically can't calculate his own, and some things about some girls who are close to him can't be calculated, but like this, he can basically see it.

"Then why don't you save this big sister?"

Ayumi questioned.

Since it can be seen, if Qingming helps, this girl may not have to die.

"It's a good thing to save people."

Ayumi said so.

In her opinion, people who do good deeds can be praised, so they should do good deeds.

However......

"Why save?"

"Isn't it good to save people?"

"I don't know her, and I have nothing to do with her, why save her?"

"Saving people depends on whether you know them or not, and whether they have anything to do with it?"

Ayumi looked at Qingming, and in addition to doubt, there seemed to be a little unbelievable in her eyes.

It seems that she doesn't quite understand.

Qingming looked at her for a while, then shook his head with a smile.

"The world of adults is like this, the world of adults is without heroes of selfless dedication."

Benefit.

With benefits, many people are willing to do it; Many people won't do things that don't have profits.

Saving people is not good for Qingming.

So he doesn't do it.

Even if there are benefits, they may not necessarily be done, because the benefits are also divided into exciting or useless ones.

A benefit that is useless is not a benefit.

“?”

The little girl looked at Qingming.

Long.

Looking at the corpse again, maybe because Qingming was there, or maybe he was used to seeing it, so he didn't have much fear.

Just seems to figure out something.

"Ernie sauce, Ernie sauce."

"Huh?"

"I ...... Don't want to grow up. ”

“……”

Qingming lowered his head and looked at the little girl who was held in his arms.

There was a long silence.

He smiled again and nodded.

"Well, then don't grow up, you're like this, you've always been like this, it's good."
