Rena Mizuno's strange behavior attracted the attention of Makoto Sakaki and others.
She must have remembered something key. The words went around in circles on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back. What could be something that Rena Mizunoshi didn't want to mention?
Conan bit his thumb and glanced at other people's expressions from time to time.
So far, the case is still confusing and there has not been much substantive progress, but...
After being reminded by Kid, Makoto Sakaki checked the convenience store surveillance video and has taken the lead.
There was a high possibility that the thief was an internal staff member of the program team, which caused the atmosphere at the table to stagnate. In stark contrast to the lively discussion just now, everyone had their own thoughts and was thinking about something.
Except for Kogoro Mori who was clamoring for another bottle.
"I'm going to go out to the yard and smoke a cigarette."
There was still some time before dinner, and wasting time here would not help the case. Sakaki Makoto thought about it, then stood up and left the living room.
When he left...
A chain reaction was immediately triggered.
"I need to go to the bathroom!"
Conan jumped up and followed closely.
"I'll go ask the lady at the front desk for her phone number."
Kidd disappeared in a flash.
Seeing this, Mao Lilan quietly opened two bottles of beer and placed them in front of Mao Li Kogoro, and was about to follow to see what was going on...
"If I were you, I would take this opportunity to call Kudo."
Her body shook, and Mao Lilan slowly turned around and found that Miss Miyano was staring at her quietly. It was she who said the words just now.
"Why..."
Mao Lilan had a lot of doubts. She felt that everyone understood what she should do, except herself, who was like a small boat on the ocean, at a loss as to what to do.
"Come with me."
Miss Miyano stood up with the help of the table and walked out of the living room without looking back. After a moment's hesitation, Mao Lilan followed her.
The two walked one after the other, passed the courtyard and stepped onto the dark stairs.
"Ms. Miyano, where are you taking me?"
"Just call me Xiao Ai."
Miss Miyano's voice came from the front:
"My name is Huiyuan Ai now, you must remember it."
"Ah...Okay."
Mao Lilan nodded and followed silently behind.
Miss Miyano stopped walking until she reached the observation deck on the third floor. She leaned on the handrail and smiled.
"It's quiet here. You can call Kudo now."
"It's possible..."
Mao Lilan took out her phone in confusion and asked:
"Why should I call him?"
"Don't you guys keep in touch?"
"Of course, almost every day."
"That's it, isn't it?"
Miss Miyano knocked on the wooden wall silently and pursed her lips:
"Conan and the others are next door. They don't know we are here. You can take this opportunity to call Kudo Shinichi."
Mao Lilan paused when she heard this, and looked down at the name 'Shinichi' in the address book. Her thumb rested on the call button, and her breathing became increasingly rapid.
Her mind was in a mess, as if two little people were arguing fiercely in her ears, one urging her to make the call, and the other persuading her to give up.
the truth...
There is only a wall between them.
"I can't do that..."
Her arms fell down, and after struggling for a long time, Mao Lilan still couldn't make the call. She raised her head and said very seriously:
"Gong...Xiao Ai, if it were you, what would you do at this moment?"
"I can't do anything."
Miss Miyano looked up at the bright and clear full moon in the sky:
"I believe whatever he says, it's that simple."
"But what if he's lying to you?"
Biting her lip, Mao Lilan said with difficulty:
"There shouldn't be any lies between two people, right?"
"I can't answer that question."
Miss Miyano shook her head:
"Sometimes the truth is harder to accept than a lie, and..."
"Did he really cheat on you?"
This sentence confused Mao Lilan. In the last second, she thought that Miss Miyano knew where Kudo Shinichi was, but in the next second, she was completely confused:
"I don't understand you..."
"well..."
Sighing softly, Miss Miyano pointed to the courtyard below. There was an artificial lake there, crossed by a stone bridge without any obstruction. The water in the lake was as quiet and clear as the night sky:
"What do you think is the difference between the moon in the lake and the moon in the sky?"
"Um..."
Mao Lilan looked carefully:
"There's no difference. Isn't the moon in the lake a reflection of the moon in the sky?"
"But the moon in the lake doesn't think so."
Miss Miyano smiled and said:
"In its eyes, there is no real moon or fake moon, because it cannot see itself and there is only one moon."
“If one day, the lake no longer reflects the color of the sky, the sky will lose a friend with whom it has talked for many years, or a lover, relative, or any other possible relationship.”
"So, from this moment on, the sky in the lake disappeared forever in its life. It will never see that unique relationship again, and it has lost a friend forever."
"Just like parents, they will eventually leave one day. When they are still around, we can still play the role of children in our lives, but what if they are gone?"
"Xiao Lan, if you really care about something, a relationship, or a person, then you must seize the opportunity. Everyone in the world and in your life is unique. Even if the sky loses the lake, it still has mountains, land, and trees. But nothing can replace the lake. Once it's lost, it's gone. It won't come back."
