Chapter 31 Tragedy Reflected in Water
After seeing the police and the two ladies leave, He Jing Yayoi slowly pushed his wheelchair and prepared to go home. He had to go to school tomorrow and had to go to bed early today.
Conan saw that Kazuki Yayoi was about to leave, and immediately asked, "Brother Yayoi, how did you know the murderer?" Seeing that Kazuki Yayoi stopped his wheelchair after saying this, Conan's eyes lit up, and he ran over to hold the armrest of his wheelchair, "Brother Yayoi, there is no one else now, can you tell me?"
"When he saw me, he was very surprised and wanted to drive me away." Because Kazukage Yayoi's appearance disturbed his plan, Mr. Morita was not sure whether Kazukage Yayoi would find out anything else, so he kept refusing. Kazukage Yayoi, who was suddenly touched by Miss Tomouri's soul, of course knew why the other party refused him, but he was too lazy to go to the next barber shop, so he insisted on having a haircut, and even said that he didn't need to wash his hair, just cut it directly. Only then did Mr. Morita agree to let Kazukage Yayoi come in for a haircut.
"Just because of this?" Conan was confused.
Of course not because of this.
He Jing Yasheng nodded, "Because of this, didn't you always think I was the murderer because of your intuition?" We are all powerful people, so don't hide it. Who doesn't have a little "intuition"? A child who can knock him out with an anesthetic needle, he doesn't think that the other party is simply smart.
Conan's heart skipped a beat. He didn't think that he and Jing Yayoi were responsible for this case. He only thought that he was the one who committed Professor Endo's case when he first met Andong Yayoi. Conan smiled awkwardly, "Brother Yayoi, what do you mean?"
"You call the police officer Megure Inspector, and you call the two ladies Aunt Kinbashi and Aunt Chihe. Only to me do you call me Brother Yayoi. Then why do they all have surnames, but I am the only one with a given name?"
"I've met you before, and you used to call me Brother Anton. You're a polite child and have never been so rude in addressing others. So what caused you to call me Brother Yayoi? I thought about it and it seems that you called me Brother Yayoi because you knew I was Anton Yayoi. Do you think I wouldn't notice... or do you think I wouldn't care?"
If it was the previous Anton Yayoi, he might not have noticed it. But now he is the Kazukage Yayoi who has been trained by Kenbali. He will never make mistakes in the prescribed etiquette.
Conan twitched his lips when he heard this. Was it true? Was he exposed from the very first sentence? He was indeed different from his mother, an actress, and was not proficient in acting. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and call out the wrong name, so he chose to be lazy and called out the name, but he did not expect to be caught in the sore spot. But this matter should also be blamed on Mr. Amuro, who made him call Yayoi, Yayoi every day, so that he reflexively followed and called out "Yayoi brother".
"I was originally wondering why you could confirm that I was Anton Yayoi, but after all, it's you, so it's reasonable." After all, he is the owner of the authority, so what's wrong with having a strange ability? Maybe just looking at him makes me feel close. Kazukage Yayoi didn't think about the possibility that Bourbon and Conan not only knew each other, but also had information. In his opinion, Conan is the most unique person in the world, and everything that happens to him is reasonable. In his cognition, other people are in the category of having some impression but not caring.
"What do you mean? What do you mean it's me after all? I'm just an ordinary elementary school student." Conan's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face. He made jokes and tried to get away with it.
When Kazukage Yayoi heard Conan say that he was an ordinary elementary school student, his expression was subtle, and he finally reached out to touch his head, "No, you are not." You are the most special human being in this world, not ordinary at all. No one's lifeline is so closely connected to the world, and he can't cut it or change it. If this kind of existence is considered ordinary, he doesn't know who else in the world is special. Isn't Conan's statement too Versailles?
Of course Conan didn't understand the above remarks at all. What Conan understood was: You are certainly not an elementary school student, because you are the high school detective Kudo Shinichi.
Conan, who had already thought about where to bury himself, was so scared that he staggered, his legs went weak and he knelt down, bowing deeply to Kazukage Yayoi.
He Jing Yayoi looked at him hesitantly, and after thinking for a moment, he bent down, picked up Princess Conan, and asked softly in Bourbon's tone: "What's wrong? Did you sprain your ankle?"
Conan stared at Kazukage Yayoi blankly, as if he couldn't react to why the atmosphere suddenly changed from tense to romantic.
As Kazukage Yayoi lowered her head to check Conan's ankle, their faces came very close. Her flawless white skin shone brightly in the moonlight, and her eyes gazed deeply under her slender eyelashes. Even her breath seemed to carry the scent of roses, which gave Conan goose bumps. Her exquisite appearance, which he had never paid attention to, was magnified to the extreme at this moment, and Conan's face suddenly turned red. What...what was he doing all of a sudden?
"Put me down!" What did the organization teach Anton Yayoi? Playing honey trap with a child! Is he crazy?
"You...you..." Seeing that Kazuki Yayoi had no intention of letting go, Conan's face turned red. He kept saying "you" for a long time but couldn't say the next sentence. Kazuki Yayoi didn't understand what happened at all. He remembered the fall. If he let go, Conan would be in trouble if he fell.
Conan had no way to break free, and Keiyayoi refused to let go, so the two of them were stuck there. Fortunately, a puzzled female voice interrupted their staring at each other.
"Conan? What are you doing here?" Mao Lilan saw Conan with a "shy" expression on his face, lying in the arms of a strange handsome boy on his way home after finishing cooking class. Although it was a bit strange, Mao Lilan still looked up and nodded to the stranger, showing a slightly apologetic smile. "Excuse me, Conan, please get off me."
When Kazukage Yayoi saw Conan's sister coming, she explained, "It seems he sprained his ankle."
"Oh, I see. Conan, are you okay? Does it hurt?" Ran Mouri hurried over and took Conan from Yayoi Wakaki's arms. She also held Conan in a princess hug and checked his ankle.
Conan's face, which had finally recovered, turned red again, even brighter than before. He struggled with a distorted expression, "Sister Xiaolan, I'm fine, put me down! Put me down!" Please, he is a 17-year-old high school boy, in good health, with a normal outlook, and the most important thing is that he has to save face. He doesn't want to be carried like a princess by two people of the same age! One of them is his girlfriend! God, please let him go!
Mao Lilan saw that Conan was fine, so she put him down as he wished, "Are you really okay? Tell me if it hurts."
Kazukage Yayoi also echoed: "A sprained ankle is not a trivial matter. If it is not treated in time, there will be sequelae such as aseptic inflammation and habitual sprains."
Conan twitched his lips. Thank you for reminding me. I knew that too. He jumped two steps on the spot to prove to the two that he was really fine. "I really didn't sprain my ankle. By the way, my uncle got drunk and fell down and was admitted to the hospital. Let's go see him quickly."
"What? Is Dad seriously injured? Which hospital is he in?" After hearing this, Mouri Ran was indeed anxious to leave. "Sorry, we'll go first. By the way, this is the dish I made in the cooking class today. If you don't mind, you can accept it." After all, the other party helped Conan. Mouri Ran didn't have anything on her, only two boxes of lunch boxes.
"Thank you for helping Conan," the young and beautiful girl handed over the lunch box sincerely, her eyes shining as if they were filled with stars.
Kazukage Yayoi stared at the girl's shining soul in front of him for a long time. Seeing the confusion on Mao Lilan's face, he reached out to accept the kindness and said with emotion: "You are such a kind person." As beautiful as Miss Tomoki's soul.
"Many people say this, but actually it's because you helped Conan out of kindness that I treated you with kindness, right?" Mao Lilan smiled gently, "You are also a very kind person. And... there's nothing wrong with being kind, right?"
Kazukage Yayoi neither agreed nor disagreed. His gaze moved from Mouri Ran to Conan and asked, "What if one day you knew that your kindness would kill you, would you still choose kindness?" Just like Miss Tomori today, if Miss Tomori knew that her kindness would eventually kill herself, would she still choose to save Mr. Morita?
He has the memory of Miss Tomoka, so he naturally has the fear, despair, collapse and confusion before her death. These emotions occupy the vast majority of Miss Tomoka's memory. Kazukage Yayoi doesn't know whether Miss Tomoka feels regret after becoming a soul, or whether she has questioned her kindness. After all, what she left to Kazukage Yayoi is overwhelming pain. In the past, taking away souls was the only channel for Thanatos to feel human emotions, so He always got negative emotions such as fear, madness, and despair. But now that He has become a "human", He also has the authority of "creation", and He can vaguely perceive the positive emotions of humans.
He could sense the warmth and determination deep in Miss Youli's soul, so he wanted to ask people with the same beautiful soul to see if they could help him solve his doubts on behalf of Miss Youli. Will humans give up believing in light because they have experienced darkness?
Although Mao Lilan didn't know why he asked this, she thought about it seriously for a while, and then answered seriously: "Yes."
Kazukage Yayoi was a little surprised, "Even if the person you saved, will he turn around and kill you?"
Ran Mouri nodded, "Yes. Because I saved him, not because I expect him to repay me. I saved him because I wanted to and I had the ability to save him, not because of who he is or what he can bring to me. This is my choice, and if he wants to kill me, it is his choice, and I can't control his choice. And if he wants to kill me, I will try my best to subdue him and send him to prison." As she said that, Ran Mouri raised her fist to show Yayoi Kazukage that she also had the power to protect herself.
Kazukage Yayoi squinted his eyes and smiled as if he heard something interesting, "What about you, little detective, do you think so too?"
Although Conan felt that Jing Yayoi seemed to be hinting at something, he felt more that the other party was still concerned about Miss Tomori's affairs. He also nodded according to his own heart: "Yes, I have the same idea as Sister Xiaolan." So... I believe Miss Tomori thinks so too.
"Kindness... It is scary for evil people to have power, but it is even scarier for kind people to have no power." He Jing Yayoi said softly.
Just like Epimetheus, who was pure-hearted and would not refuse others' kindness, so he accepted Pandora's box, leading to the destruction of mankind. The daughters of Belias believed Medea's lies and chopped their elderly father into pieces, hoping that he would be resurrected.
They are kind, but they don't have eyes to discern the truth, they don't have a smart brain, and they don't have the ability to predict the future. Even Prometheus, who has all of these, couldn't resist Zeus's punishment and needed Chiron to die in his place.
Kindness is not rare, but kindness with strength is truly rare.
"So, since you have chosen kindness, you must make yourself stronger. Don't let the kindness you have chosen destroy the things you cherish." Kazukage Yayoi smiled, but Conan saw a hint of pity and approval in his expression, as if he was looking at an incompetent trapped beast that finally learned to think.
Although Mao Lilan didn't know what he was talking about, she felt that it made a lot of sense. What if she saved someone one day, and then this person wanted to kill her parents and Conan? This was indeed a serious problem. So she nodded seriously and said sternly: "Okay! I will work hard to become the national karate champion, no, the world karate champion! Starting today, I will train three hours a day!"
? Something seems wrong, but it's not impossible
Conan twitched his lips when he heard such bold words. No, you are already very good, please don't be more powerful.
