Qingming has no friends.

Huaxia aside, at least here in Neon, people who are considered friends can be counted on one hand.

Maoriland is one.

At least Mao Lilan regarded him as a friend, and as for whether Qingming regarded others as friends, only he knew.

No one can know what Qingming is thinking, and sometimes it is always mysterious.

And I don't know how to describe him as a person.

Say you are a good person, but you never seem to have done anything good; It's a bad person, and it seems that he has never done anything bad.

At least according to the current situation, Qingming is just a little black-bellied.

And he has a special hobby.,For example, let Enomoto Azusa wear a maid costume.、And let her call him master.。

Of course, Azusa Enomoto never handed over.

She's just doing her own thing, just doing her job well.

Qingming basically doesn't care about things, so she does this kind of thing when she entertains guests.

"Welcome."

With a smile every day, repeating the same words, Enomoto Azusa felt her face stiffen a little.

Maybe it's what a professional smile is called?

Suddenly, I remembered what Qingming had said to her: some people seemed to be laughing, but they weren't laughing; Some people look like they're crying, but they're not.

So when we look at everything, can't we just look at the surface?

Enomoto Azusa still knows this truth, although she doesn't quite understand it.

But when you think about it this way, you are obviously younger than her, why do you always tell her these big truths?

However, others are the bosses, so they can only listen.

After that, work hard.

This afternoon.

Quantum drank a few cups of coffee, completed the task, and left.

Azusa Enomoto sent her outside, and just happened to meet Moriran.

"Miss Lan."

Greeting with a smile, this time the smile seemed to be a little more sincere.

"Are you looking for the shopkeeper again?"

Maori Lan came to the coffee shop, either looking for Kiyoshi or Maori Kogoro.

Sometimes Mori Kogoro would sit in a coffee shop for most of the day, reading the newspaper or something.

Now Maori Kogoro is not here, so Maori Lan Bacheng is here to find Qingming.

Sometimes Enomoto Azusa feels that Mao Lilan is too gentle with Qingming, and this gentleness is easy to misunderstand.

But Maoliland doesn't seem to be aware of such a problem.

On her face, she has a smile that is gentler than Azusa Enomoto's and looks more comfortable.

"Yes, Qingmingjun is here, right?"

"Yes, yes."

Azusa Enomoto nodded.

There is no need to ask such a question, where else can Qingming go if he is not in the store?

Anyway, she rarely saw Qingming leave the coffee shop and go out.

He brought him in, smiled and nodded, and went to clean up the table again.

Mao Lilan walked to the counter and found that Qingming was still reading a book.

Looking at the old book with the blue cover, he seemed to be reading this all along.

She didn't care about that, though.

"Qingming-kun."

He screamed softly, and also drew Qingming's attention away from the book.

When I looked up, I saw that it was Maoliran.

"Oh, Ran."

Nodding in response, he didn't wait for Mao Lilan to say anything, and spoke directly.

"Just call me Qingming, don't come and go, I'm not used to it."

"Hmm...... Oh well, Qingming. ”

Without too much entanglement, I quickly changed the issue of the title.

She doesn't know much about the cultural differences between Huaxia and Neon, although she likes Huaxia culture herself, but she rarely has the opportunity to come into contact with it.

However, looking for Qingming is not to explore Chinese culture.

"Qingming, are you free this weekend?"

"Hmmm......"

Fingers tapped on the table and thought for a moment.

Then he smiled.

"Of course, who once said that there are only two kinds of people in the world, men and women? No, it's the ones who don't have enough to eat and those who are full, and it's obvious that I'm the kind of person who is full and has nothing to do, how can I not be free. ”

"That's interesting."

Maoriran was also amused, she didn't seem to have heard of such a statement.

But it also seems to make sense when you think about it.

But if you're free, it's easy to do.

"We're going to a small island this weekend, so why don't you go with us?"

This is the purpose of her coming to Qingming, inviting Qingming to hang out together.

Mainly watching Qingming stay in the coffee shop all day, he doesn't go out much, he has been in Neon for half a year, and it is estimated that he has not left Rice Flower Town 5-chome, so he just had the opportunity, so he invited Qingming to go with him by the way.

No matter how you say it, she can be regarded as a friend, and Qingming is an international student, so she is more concerned about Qingming.

That's why she is a very gentle person.

But extra tenderness can sometimes be a sin, because it can be misunderstood.

Qingming will not.

For the invitation, it felt a bit of a surprise.

"Going to play on the island?"

"It's my dad who got a commission, and Conan and I are going to go together, so I'll invite you to go with me, it's not good to stay in the coffee shop all day, let's go and have fun with us."

"This ...... It's good. ”

After a slight hesitation, Qingming nodded and agreed.

Anyway, there's nothing to do in the coffee shop, so it's good to go out and walk around.

By the way, it should also be regarded as a glimpse of the neon customs.

"Speaking of which, what island are you going to? A nameless island? ”

"No, I remember it's called Moonshadow Island."

"Moon Shadow...... Island? ”

The name sounds familiar.

Where have you heard of it?

……

Weekend.

The group got on the boat and headed for the island in the sea.

The reason why I came here is because a week ago, Kogoro Mori received a letter of entrustment.

I received a strange letter of commission.,The content of the letter is a patchwork of words cut out of newspapers or books.,Said to entrust Mori Kogoro to Moon Shadow Island.,And say that on the night of the full moon.,Shadows will start to disappear again or something.。

Originally, Mori Kogoro didn't plan to pay attention to it, but the other party called in person, and even the commission fee was called in advance.

There was no way, so Mori Kogoro had to come over and have a look.

Of course, his intention was to return the money directly, and he did not intend to accept such a commission.

It's a bit suspicious after all.

As a detective, you must understand what work can and what work cannot be done, otherwise it will be self-inflicted if someone sinks to the bottom of the sea one day.

You must know that there are many missing detectives.

For example, a certain high school student detective, Shinichi Kudo.

It's been a while since I've heard from that guy, and there are even rumors that he was involved in some case and was killed.

Not to mention, this is really close to the truth.

However, Kudo Shinichi was not killed, but changed his identity to investigate secretly.

Ordinary people may never have imagined that a high school student would become a child.

Therefore he is safe for the time being.

But there are also people who know his identity, such as the one named Dr. Asasa and Qingming.

Qingming couldn't do without the books in his hand wherever he went, and he didn't know where he pulled a stool and placed it directly on the deck, sitting there to read.

Kogoro Mori smoked on the railing, looking at the island that was getting closer and closer.

However, he glanced at Qingming, who was sitting there reading a book, and seemed to be a little unhappy.

Originally, he didn't want to come here, but now not only did he come, but he also had one more Qingming, and he paid all the money.

"So why do we need an extra nerd when we travel as a family?"

He muttered and glanced at Conan again.

"And a glasses imp!"

“……”

Conan pretended not to hear, but was actually hehehehe.

Maolilan didn't care.

"What's the matter, Qingming is a friend."

"That's nice, I'm paying for all this money."

"Dad, you usually go to Qingming's coffee shop to eat and drink!"

"Hey...... Did you say that about your father? ”

Eating and drinking or something, Maori Kogoro won't admit it.

Apparently it was deducted from the rent.

Although the rent given by Qingming is also very generous, it is several times the normal rent.

There's no way, in fact, there were others who wanted to rent it at the beginning, but Qingming used money to smash it, so Maori Kogoro rented the store on the first floor to him.

Qingming ignored the bickering of the father and daughter, and did not pay attention to the books.

Instead, he aimed at the Moon Shadow Island, which was getting closer and closer.

There's a legendary big JJ cute girl on it!
