Chapter 152 So Familiar

Conan Edogawa heard the sound, squeezed through the crowd and ran to the front, where he saw a black-haired young man half-kneeling on the ground, checking on a person who had fainted.

The man had a painful and ferocious expression, his body had stopped moving, but his right hand was still tightly grasping the young man's wrist.

This seems to be a signal.

"He's dead." The young man said softly.

Conan Edogawa's pupils trembled, "Brother Hane, what's going on?"

"I'll call the police first." Miyakawa Ling called the police and briefly explained the situation on the scene.

Maori Kogoro emerged from the crowd and strode closer: "Don't approach the scene, and don't leave. Everything will be settled after the police arrive."

He squatted down and checked the situation: "Vomiting, excessive sweating, signs of suffocation, is he poisoned?"

He paused, and Miyakawa handed him a pair of disposable gloves.

Kogoro Mori took it and checked the deceased's physical condition.

Conan Edogawa, who was standing by, saw every detail.

The deceased still held Miyagawa Ryo's wrist. Maori Kogoro tried to pull it but failed.

"Xiao Ling, do you know the deceased?"

“No.”

"That's the stress reaction from the poison." Maori Kogoro turned around and shouted to the crowd, "Does anyone know the deceased?"

People who were originally far away now knew that someone had died and ran out in a hurry.

"The police will be here soon. Anyone who leaves now will be a criminal suspect!" Kogoro Mouri shouted.

This trick really worked, and people stopped.

Three men came out hesitantly, indicating that they knew the deceased.

Kogoro Mori stood up and conducted a simple questioning and investigation on them.

Mao Lilan at the back couldn't help but murmur, "Dad seems to be more reliable than before..."

Suzuki Sonoko also asked, "Is this still Uncle Mori?"

This is too weird!

The police arrived soon and Miyakawa Ling was rescued.

"It's such an honor to see Mr. Maori's process of solving the case up close." He stood aside, relaxing his red wrist, his tone gentle and his eyes sparkling.

Maori Kogoro straightened his back even more: "Xiao Ling, just watch! In just a few minutes, I can solve this case!"

"As expected of you! I will need your help again if I encounter any problems in the future."

"It's no big deal, just come to me!"

Conan Edogawa asked in a low voice: "Sister Xiaolan, does Brother Hane often come to see uncle?"

Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment: "I'm not sure... But I did see him twice. Once he asked his father to help him find a lost book, and another time he asked his father to help him find a lost cell phone."

Edogawa Conan was silent for a moment: "Is it true that every time, the money given is quite a lot?"

Mao Lilan: "Eh - I don't..." She wanted to explain it clearly, but looking at her father's attitude, her tone was a little guilty: "No... I don't know."

Suzuki Sonoko has seen through it: "Haha, I understand now."

Mao Lilan felt inexplicably embarrassed.

But Maori Kogoro was full of fighting spirit. Under the harsh questioning, he quickly pointed at a suspect and said, "The murderer is you! Miss Dingyue! Because the deceased had always treated you coldly, you felt resentful and poisoned the deceased's water cup and killed him!"

"No no... I didn't!" The lady who was pointed out was so scared that her face turned pale and she made a lot of excuses in panic.

But Kogoro Mori thought she was just making excuses.

Miyagawa Ryo seemed to be watching the development of the situation seriously.

But his eyes kept falling on the little detective who was staring at him.

The young detective quickly withdrew his gaze and walked behind a suspect, not knowing what he was doing.

The police arrived soon, but they only determined the cause of death and did not stop Kogoro Mouri from solving the case.

The case progressed at an incredible pace. When Miss Dingyue was about to be arrested, another suspect suddenly lost his balance and staggered.

Something fell to the ground.

Everyone looked over there. It was the car key.

Miss Dingyue was surprised and said, "Isn't this Mr. Fujiwara's car key?"

Fujiwara is the deceased's surname.

The suspect's face turned pale, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Because Mr. Fujiwara said that after the exhibition, he would chat with an old friend who lives nearby, so I borrowed his car for a while."

"Mr. Fujiwara didn't mention this just now."

"There's nothing to say about this! It has nothing to do with this case!"

The police officer squatting next to the body said: "The deceased died of isopropyl alcohol poisoning. The onset of this poison is between 10 and 30 minutes, but food can delay the onset."

A new round of interrogation and defense began at the scene, and Miyagawa Ling lowered his eyes calmly.

The murderer stumbled a little, but it was not because he lost his balance. Moreover, when he saw the car key, his pupils shrank abnormally, but it was not because of panic about being exposed, but because of the shock of seeing something incredible.

He himself did not expect that the car key, which should have disappeared, would appear in his pocket.

Even though his vision was occasionally blocked, Miyagawa Ryo knew exactly what the anomalies were.

Edogawa Conan.

He did it.

A first-grade kid who is different from the average kid.

After the case was solved, the police took the murderer into the police car.

Maori Kogoro walked up to Miyagawa Ryo and said, "In fact, I have already seen that this guy is the murderer! Just now, I said it was someone else, but I was just tricking him! Look, I really tricked him out!"

Miyakawa Ling nodded: "I guessed it was like this!"

"Hahaha, Xiao Ling, you really understand me... Oh no!" He remembered the commission: "I have other things to do! Xiao Ling, let's have dinner together later!"

Maori Kogoro ran away. Maori Ran saw that Miyagawa Ling didn't look very good, so she asked, "Do you want to go back and rest first?"

"I'm sorry to bother you, but I really need to rest for a while." Miyakawa Ling turned around and looked outside: "I'm leaving first, I hope you have fun."

"Actually, I'm not interested anymore." Suzuki Sonoko said with her head down.

So does Maori Ran.

After this happened, who would still be in the mood to play?

But they came here today not only to play, but also to collect materials for their homework, so they can't just leave like this.

The children all expressed that they wanted to leave with Miyakawa Ryo.

Miyagawa Ryo smiled at them, and finally looked at Edogawa Conan: "Conan, what about you? Do you want to go with me?"

Conan Edogawa felt a creepy feeling as if he was being targeted by a large beast.

But the eyes of the person in front of me were clearly gentle.

...Has something been discovered? Or is it just an illusion?

Conan Edogawa met the eyes of the three children and nodded: "Let's go together."

…

Miyagawa Ryo first sent the three children home, and in the end, only he and Edogawa Conan were left in the car.

Through the rearview mirror, Miyagawa Ling could see that the child was leaning back in the chair, eyes closed, breathing evenly, in a very relaxed posture.

He drove slower.

When he was about to arrive, Conan Edogawa opened his eyes.

"Awake?" The faint question was like a wisp of wind at the horizon.

Edogawa Conan inexplicably felt that the tone was familiar, his heartbeat quickened, he rubbed his eyes, and replied softly: "Yeah."

The car slowed down and stopped under the shade of the tree. The young man in the driver's seat turned around and said, "Then get off."

Maybe it's because it's relatively dark here, or maybe it's because he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep for too long... At this moment, Edogawa Conan had the illusion that the other person's eyes were dark.

Black eyes... and a tone of voice that had almost never appeared in Yu Renling.

In a trance, he seemed to see Sekisawa Kazuki.

Conan Edogawa opened the car door and said, "Thank you, Brother Kazuki."

He observed the other person's expression silently.

He thought it would be another unchanging smile, but he saw the other party was stunned.

I can't explain why, but Edogawa Conan suddenly had a hunch -

"I'm sorry, because I heard Sister Xiaolan mention Brother Hexi many times a few days ago, and I also saw his photo..."

As he explained, his clear eyes stared at the other person without blinking, and he saw that the other person's expression changed slightly.

So small, and yet... so familiar.

Conan Edogawa was convinced that this change occurred when he heard the four words "Sister Xiaolan".

His heartbeat suddenly reached its peak.

"Mauri...Ran?" the young man asked.

Edogawa Conan nodded.

The other person lowered his eyelashes, said "hmm", but didn't say anything more.

He also got out of the car and said in a calm voice: "Go home."

As he spoke, he had already walked to the side of the road and stepped onto the zebra crossing.

The green light starts flashing.

Edogawa Conan couldn't help but chase him a few steps. He couldn't... he couldn't just let him go like this!

If I leave, I won’t understand...

Maybe, I will never see you again!

White mist gathered in the little boy's eyes. He took out his mobile phone with a shaking hand and placed his other hand on the bow voice changer.

"He Xi." he called.

It is no longer the tender voice of a child, but the clear and bright voice of a teenager.

The black-haired young man in front of him stopped.

It was almost an instinctive turn.

——Through the flashing green lights and the sparse pedestrians, the two pairs of eyes met.

A pair of eyes like the boundless blue sea.

One pair is a light gold rising sun.

That's not black.

But Conan Edogawa did see Kazuki Sekizawa.

Miyagawa Rei...did indeed see Kudo Shinichi.

He was silent for a moment, smiled suddenly, then turned around and strode towards Edogawa Conan.

The moment the green light turned red, his figure just crossed the black and white zebra crossing and came to the side of Edogawa Conan.

Conan Edogawa clenched his phone tightly and lowered his head, "It's Shinichi-nii's phone call... Sorry, I hung up by accident."

After a brief silence, his hand holding the phone was held.

The gentle and indulgent feeling makes people want to cry.

"Yes." The man said, "I understand."

Conan Edogawa stared at the shadow on the ground, his vision was blurry and his breathing was a little uneven.

"You want..." He tried to calm down: "Shinichi's brother's phone number?"

"unnecessary."

"Don't you need it?"

"Yeah, I already have it."

"Did you... call him?"

The wind blew through the treetops, and the leaves swayed slightly above the two of them. Edogawa Conan waited for a long time, but there was no response.

He moved slightly, and the person holding his hand also moved, like a motionless statue gaining vitality; the fictional person who did not exist in the world broke the line of definition and truly stood in front of him.

"I'll call him." Edogawa Conan heard the sound of leaves falling: "But not now."
