Chapter 171 Gaga Gaga

Sera Masumi's heart was beating a little faster. Before coming, she had done her homework and knew that Miyakawa Rei had also been to Hailai Island a few days ago.

Does it have anything to do with Xiao Cheng?

Just as Sera Masumi was thinking about how to go and check, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

The sound was rapid, and within two seconds it turned into knocking on the door.

Miyakawa Ling went forward to open the door, and a strange man came in with a kitchen knife and started chopping!

"Be careful--" Sera Masumi shouted.

Miyakawa Ling grabbed the man's wrist, and the kitchen knife fell to the ground. The man struggled and shouted, "I'm coming! I'm going to kill you!"

Miyakawa Ling kicked him to the ground.

Two policemen ran over and held the man down: "Behave yourself!"

Sera Masumi walked closer and said, "This is the man who was chasing me just now!"

What she said just now was a mixture of true and false, and not all of it was made up.

A policeman asked, "You are the one who called the police, right? This man is the serial killer we are looking for. If it is convenient, come with us to the police station and take some statements."

Sera Masumi looked up and said, "Will you come with us, Mr. Hane?"

Miyakawa Ling refused: "It's good enough if we catch him. I just came back and I'm a little tired, so I won't go with you."

"Then I'll go first." The moment Sera Masumi walked out of the room and turned her back to Miyagawa Ryo, her expression changed.

That wooden sign...

Although she had never seen the prayer plaque that Yakasumi mentioned...but she had once seen the intricate patterns that he had drawn on it in one of his books.

There is an identical one on that wooden sign.

The handwriting is also very similar to Yakasumi's, with only some minor differences that seem to have been deliberately changed.

Yu Renling, do you know Xiao Cheng? But if they just know each other, it is impossible for Xiao Cheng to give such an important thing...

"I would rather die than let them fall into the hands of others." The girl said half jokingly, half seriously.

The miko wouldn't lie about this.

Yu Renling can get it, unless... Xiao Cheng's death is related to him.

Sera Masumi walked to the end of the corridor, then turned back secretly and glanced at the closed door.

Inside the house, an ancient and strange wooden sign stood quietly in the corner. Miyagawa Ling stared at it for two seconds and sighed.

"……never mind."

Miyagawa Ryo took care of the work that was originally required of him, and then had a casual dinner.

At night, there was another knock on the door.

This time Miyagawa Ryo knew who it was because Yago Sumiko was following him.

"Brother Yuren!" The little boy's eyes sparkled: "I'm here to play games with you!"

The brown-haired girl stood behind, her eyes indifferent.

Miyakawa Ling stepped aside and said, "Come in."

"Excuse me." Edogawa Conan put the paper box on the table and opened it. Inside was a stack of cards: "Has Brother Hane played this?"

"No, but you can teach me."

Edogawa Conan nodded with a smile, and then explained the rules in detail.

After listening to this, Miyakawa Ling asked, "Does Xiao Ai want to join us?"

Huihara Ai nodded: "I won't let you go."

Edogawa Conan took the initiative to deal the cards. This game was popular among children. It was the first time that Miyagawa Ryo saw it. He picked up the cards and took a look, and roughly understood the function of each card.

"In the first round, Brother Hane should play first. After all, you have never played before."

Miyakawa Ling: “Okay.”

He pulled out a card, not at all like the first time he played it, and threw it on the table with great momentum.

Conan Edogawa was almost shocked, but when he saw what cards Miyagawa Ling played, he fell silent: "...Brother Hane, do you really know how to play?"

"Yeah." Miyakawa Ling nodded confidently.

"……"OK.

In less than two minutes, Miyagawa Ling lost.

"One more round."

This time, Miyagawa Ling did not have the advantage of playing first, and lost even faster.

After two games, Edogawa Conan observed Miyagawa Rei's expression and said, "It's just one point left. Come on, Hane-ni-san! We will definitely win the next game!"

In the third round, Conan Edogawa secretly let the opponent win, and noticed that Haibara Ai, who said she would not let the opponent win, was about to let the opponent win into the sea.

Miyagawa Ling finally won a round. He curled his lips and seemed a little proud.

Edogawa Conan felt that the time was right, and pretended to be casual and said: "It's too boring to play like this! How about we add some other ways to play! Whoever loses must accept the punishment?"

"What punishment?" Huibara asked sadly.

"How about the loser choosing to answer a question from the winner or obey an order from him?"

Miyakawa Ling: “I have no objection.”

"Okay." Huihara Ai said.

Conan Edogawa was happy. He began to deal the cards seriously and thought about what questions he would ask next.

Don't ask too complicated questions, as the other party may not be willing to answer or may be lying to you.

You can't ask meaningless questions, it would be a waste of opportunity...

Ten minutes later.

Edogawa Conan threw the remaining cards into the deck with an expressionless face.

"Conan, are you letting the game go? Why do you keep losing?" someone asked in confusion.

"...Tell me, what is the punishment this time?"

Damn it!! How could he believe that this guy couldn't play the card game just because he had never seen it before!!

From the moment he decided on the penalty, he hasn't won a single game!

No need to think about it, he was fooled by the other party!

Miyakawa Ling thought for a moment and said, "The punishment just now was too boring. Conan didn't even get nervous. This time, I'll give him a severe punishment!"

He showed a sinister smile, which was so hideous that Conan Edogawa was frightened.

Huihara Ai narrowed her eyes.

"As punishment, Conan can only speak duck language all day tomorrow!"

"???" Edogawa Conan: "What duck language?" Is it an alias for some popular language? How come he doesn't know?

Huiyuan Ai's lips moved, but she held back. She said in a calm tone, "That's right, hahaha."

"???" Edogawa Conan.

He cracked.

What the hell?

Haha?

How did Huiyuan say these three words with that expression and tone?!

"You can adapt yourself now." Miyakawa Ling said considerately: "For example, if I say good evening to you, what will you say?"

Conan Edogawa's head was full of question marks: "Huh?"

Huihara Ai answered for him: "Hahaha."

“…No, huh?”

"Good night."

"quack."

"Call me Sister Xiaolan."

“Quack, quack, quack.”

"..." Edogawa Conan collapsed: "Wait! Why are you two talking to each other! Haibara, whose side are you on?!"

Huiyuan Ai turned her head to look at him: "Isn't it obvious?"

"..." Conan Edogawa fell headfirst onto the sofa.

Huihara Ai curled her lips slightly.

Miyagawa Ling pushed Edogawa Conan and said, "Get up, Conan, and continue."

Edogawa Conan took a deep breath and jumped up: "Again!"

He just didn't believe it! He couldn't win a single game!

Half an hour later.

Miyakawa Ling closed the door: "Good night."

"Bang." Conan Edogawa stood outside the door bashfully with notes all over his face.

Huihara Ai chuckled: "I didn't win a single game."

"…Why are you bragging? You didn't win!"

Huiyuan Ai put her hands in her pockets: "I'm different from you. I already know the result I want."

"ha?"

Huiyuan Ai tilted her head, her eyes a little blurry under the moonlight: "You are so lucky."

He was different from her, and from everyone else.

To that person, he is special.

She seemed to... understand.

Edogawa Conan paused, and suddenly said: "Before, you seemed to have said that I was unfortunate."

Huihara shook her head sadly: "I'm sorry, I don't mean to judge your life... I just feel a little unwilling."

Before Conan Edogawa could say anything, Ai Haibara continued, "But... after returning from Hailai Island last time, I realized that if you want something, you have to fight for it yourself. Only actions can bring results. Fear of the unknown is the most cowardly behavior."

He looked at her and suddenly laughed: "Huiyuan, you have changed a lot - but, I think so too."

No matter how difficult or dangerous the truth he wants to find out or the things he wants to investigate are, he will get to the bottom of them, clear away the fog and see the truth.

Huiyuan Ai said: "You will do it."

"But before that, learn duck talk first."

“…”

…

The next morning, just as Mao Li Ran knocked on the door, before she could say anything, Edogawa Conan opened the door and walked out.

Mao Lilan was a little surprised: "Conan, it's so early today."

The boy looked up, squinted his eyes and smiled.

Mao Lilan felt a little strange, but did not think much about it. But when she asked Edogawa Conan how the food tasted during breakfast, and he just nodded and smiled, she realized:

"Conan, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

Edogawa Conan shook his head.

"Conan?" Mao Lilan looked at him worriedly.

Maori Kogoro curled his lips: "Xiaolan, don't worry about him, that kid is very energetic! How does he look sick?"

"But why doesn't Conan speak?"

Conan Edogawa gestured to show that he was fine, then he finished his meal in a few bites and ran to the door to go out.

Who knew, as soon as I opened the door, I saw a person standing outside.

The boy was completely stunned.

"Hi, Conan! I don't have work today, how about I take you to the amusement park?" The enthusiastic and warm smile seemed like a death warrant to Conan.

"Hey! Xiao Ling!" Maori Kogoro immediately sat up straight from his paralyzed state and said in an elite manner: "Good morning."

"Good morning, Mr. Maori."

"Good morning..." Mao Lilan was a little dazed: "Brother Ling."

"Lan, do you have anything to do today? How about we go to the amusement park together?"

Mao Lilan shook her head: "Sonoko asked me out today... I have something to do."

Look handsome, how do you say this?

"Well, Conan, come with me." Miyakawa Ling leaned over and held Edogawa Conan's shoulders: "Come on, Conan, say goodbye to Mr. Maori and Miss Ran."

"…" Conan Edogawa's dead fish eyes.

Fortunately, Mao Lilan came to the rescue: "Conan's throat is a little uncomfortable today, so try to speak less."

Conan Edogawa turned around, and his burning eyes made Ran Mouri's heart beat faster for some reason.

Miyagawa Ling held Edogawa Conan's hand, and just after they went downstairs and took two steps, he said sadly: "Conan, just because I won a few games from you yesterday, are you going to ignore me?"

“…”

"I didn't expect you to be such a stingy person!"

“…”

"I misjudged you!"

Conan Edogawa went crazy: "Stop being unreasonable!!"

Miyakawa Ling's eyes widened: "Then I like you, right? Otherwise, why wouldn't I be unreasonable with others?"

Conan Edogawa is at a loss for words.

Help! He doesn't understand the other party's logic at all!

"Hurry up, admit defeat and don't make me say it a second time." Miyagawa Ling pinched his face with mischievous humor.

Conan Edogawa saw out of the corner of his eye a blond young man opening the door of the Poirot Café. Perhaps he heard their voices and turned to look.

He maintained that position for who knows how long, and his expression was difficult to read.

However, if you put yourself in their shoes and think of yourself as a passerby, you will also be shocked by this magical conversation and go to watch it out of curiosity.

Edogawa Conan didn't care much. He sighed and said, "I just called you."

Miyagawa Ling nodded solemnly.
