The rain is still falling.

The investigation of the case is still continuing, but it is also over.

No matter how many times Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji reasoned in their minds, they could only lock the prisoner onto Maii Kogami.

So they confirmed that the murderer was Hung Kami Mai.

However, no matter how much they searched, they couldn't find any evidence to prove that Hirogami was the murderer.

Not at all.

The most direct evidence is the hood, but there is no poison reaction on it, and they swore before, so they slapped themselves in the face.

And because they couldn't find other evidence, the two high school detectives didn't reason again.

However, they still did not give up.

Unable to find evidence, they decided to let Mai Hirogami tell the truth herself.

In their opinion, Hongshang Maiyi must have used some method to dispose of the evidence, so their previous reasoning was wrong, and now they can't think of the method used by Hongshang Mai.

If you can't find it, you can only let Hongshang Maiyi say it herself.

This is also a common trick used by detectives, through verbal stimulation, scare, etc., so that the suspect subconsciously tells the truth in the case of emotional fluctuations.

For this reason, they also called Hongshang Maiyi aside alone to "persuade" her.

Of course it still didn't work.

With Qingming on the side, no matter what they want to do, they will not succeed, no matter how smart and powerful their reasoning skills are, they are just ordinary people.

How can ordinary people deal with a Taoist priest who has mastered various abilities?

Strategy?

If that thing was useful, why did the rabbit go to great lengths to grow big mushrooms?

So Kudo Shinichi and Hattori's actions ended in failure.

"Don't care."

The Twilight Police Department patted Shinichi Kudo on the shoulder.

He also admitted that Kudo Shinichi is very powerful, and the crime solving rate is almost 100%, otherwise he would not be touted as "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era" or something.

However, even so, he is only a high school student after all, an ordinary person, not a god.

Even a god can fail, let alone an ordinary person.

In any case, this is the end of the case for the time being.

After gathering evidence and removing the bodies, the police withdrew from the auditorium, leaving behind a crowd of spectators who had no intention of watching the performance.

They also withdrew.

Qingming and Ayumi naturally left together.

It was raining and he didn't bring an umbrella, but Qingming walked out with Ayumi in his arms without care, and the rain didn't hit them at all.

If you have the ability, it's really convenient.

"Ernie sauce, Ernie sauce."

"Huh?"

"Why do men kill?"

"Hmmm......"

Qingming did not answer.

Holding the little girl, I walked to the school gate in the rain.

Stopping and watching the surrounding groups walk out of the school gate, talking and laughing, and walking in different directions, the previous case did not affect these people in the slightest.

Also, after all, the dead have nothing to do with them.

"Who knows."

Shake your head.

Holding the little girl, find the right direction and leave here.

"Maybe humans are the kind of creatures that like to hurt each other."

……

Time passes slowly.

After that, another two days passed.

The police still did not give up the investigation, but all the evidence was destroyed, and naturally there will be no conclusion......

No, there are still results.

The end result is that the case is temporarily sealed and inconclusive.

This has nothing to do with Qingming.

A new day.

Nahe Bridge Coffee Shop, as always, today, Meng Po soup coffee basically can't be sold.

In the afternoon, Hirogami came here.

I had been cooperating with the police investigation before, and I thought that I would be exposed and arrested by the police, but the development of things was far beyond her expectations.

Actually, she was very clear.

The ice cube injected with poison, she did put it in the hood, so there was no poison reaction, and she was also a little surprised.

I've been cautious for the past two days.

It was only now, as if the police had given up on investigating the case, that she made time to come to the coffee shop.

Her instincts told her that those strange things had something to do with Qingming.

So here she is.

Qingming also received her with a smile on his face as always, and invited her to drink Meng Po soup coffee.

Unlike the Meng Po soup coffee she drank before, this time it was a very normal coffee, and it tasted good, better than any kind of coffee she had drunk before.

"It's actually a blend."

Qingming was smiling, picking up his coffee and talking.

"Actually, I'm quite confident in blended coffee."

“？”

Hongshang Maiyi doesn't understand very well.

But she didn't dwell on that, and opened her mouth to say something.

Qingming didn't let her say it.

"Meng Po Tang, do you know what it is?"

He asked.

In this regard, Hongshang Mai just shook her head, saying that she didn't know.

Although neon also has legends such as the Lechuan River and the Flower on the Other Bank, unlike Huaxia, there are no Mengpo soups, Sansheng stones, etc., so many people don't know about them.

Qingming didn't care.

"It is said that every person who dies has to pass through the Huangquan Road, step on the Nai He Bridge, look back on the Wangxiang Terrace, and then drink the Meng Po soup that forgets everything, and enter the six realms of reincarnation."

Meng Po soup is something that can be forgotten no matter whether it is love, hatred, hatred or anything.

Complete forgetfulness.

Or in other words, let go of everything in the world, and then start a new life, and the past has nothing to do with this person.

Of course, the Meng Po soup of Qingming does not have such an effect.

But there are some things that can be forgotten.

"Here is the bridge and the cup is Meng Po soup, senior sister, goodbye."

“……”

……

Hung Shang dance costume.

It seems like I've been through a lot lately, and I don't seem to have experienced it before.

When I came back to my senses, I found myself sitting in a coffee shop, looking at a steaming cup of coffee on the table.

A little confused.

Looking around, I saw that there were no other customers in the store, only a girl in a maid's costume cleaning the table, and a teenager sitting at the counter, who seemed to be reading a book.

There's nothing special about it.

"Dreaming?"

Looking at the young man, Hongshang was stunned for a long time.

I don't know why, I don't have any memories related to this teenager in my mind, but I just feel a sense of closeness.

It seems to be an illusion.

Shake your head.

Picking up the coffee and tasting it slowly, I sat here alone for a long time.

Then check out and leave.

When I walked to the door of the store, I couldn't help but turn around and glance at the young man sitting at the counter.

But the boy seemed to be obsessed with the books in his hand and did not pay any attention to her.

Turn around, open the door and walk outside.

Stretch your waist.

"It's a nice day!"

The wind is beautiful, and the sun shines on people's bodies, making people feel warm.

Smile and get your bearings on your feet.

Then lift your feet and keep walking, until you can't walk anymore.

in the coffee shop.

Qingming looked at the closed door.

Soon retracted his gaze, hooked the corners of his mouth to reveal a bright smile, put down the book in his hand and looked at Azusa Enomoto, who was cleaning up.

"Azi."

"Huh?"

"While there's no one now, why don't you come and make me feel refreshed."

"Get out!"

"Ah, Ah Zi is still so affectionate."
