Chapter 431 He was actually a member of the church too.
Liu Qingyao stopped running as she approached them, took a deep breath, and handed him a medicine bottle. "Oh no, I forgot to ask Qianye-kun to bring his medicine."
"Ah! You've come just in time!" Kogoro Mouri took the medicine bottle, walked over to Chizuru who had been helped to sit down and rest, poured the medicine onto the bottle cap, and handed it to him.
After taking the medicine, Qianzhu coughed lightly twice and whispered, "Thank you."
He lowered his head slightly, clutched his chest with one hand to catch his breath, and glanced at the road ahead with a strange expression.
Conan noticed this and felt puzzled.
Amidst the worried gazes of the crowd, Qianzhu stood up from her chair.
"Qianzhu, would you like to rest a little longer?"
Qianzhu shook her head slightly and said gently, "I'm fine now. Let's continue our walk."
“We’re all together anyway, so it should be fine. Let’s walk around some more.” Kuno Naya said, fanning herself with a fan.
"I have to go back and finish my manuscript, so I won't be joining you. Have fun," Liu Qingyao said with a smile and waved to them.
"Rushing to meet a deadline?" Kogoro Mouri asked, puzzled.
Liu Qingyao nodded and explained, "Yes, because my main job is actually as an illustrator. Well then, goodbye."
"Okay, goodbye."
After saying goodbye to Liu Qingyao, the group continued on their way, occasionally stopping at game stalls to try their hand at catching goldfish and tossing rings.
Only Conan was constantly watching his surroundings, trying to find the rest of the church members.
"Oh right, the fireworks show is about to start! I remember there's going to be a surprise this year!" Sonoko said expectantly, holding a plush doll that she had just won from Kawasaki Maru.
"Let's go grab a spot now, otherwise it'll be crowded," Xiaolan suggested with a smile, also holding a plush doll in her hand.
They were almost all holding the same kind of plush doll, except for one ring toss stall owner who was heartbroken and shed tears.
On the way to the fireworks display venue, Conan noticed a woman in a nun's habit walking in the opposite direction from them behind the stalls. His eyes narrowed, he glanced at the others whose attention was elsewhere, and quietly left the group to follow her.
He followed them quietly to a silent corner.
Another figure was waiting for that member in the corner.
But when Conan saw that figure, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he was shocked.
A boy with long black hair tied in a high ponytail sat in a wheelchair, his elbows resting on the armrests, his fists supporting his chin. He appeared so aloof in the moonlight, while the blindfold added to his air of mystery.
Percy, dressed as a maid, stood respectfully behind the wheelchair.
Conan saw the church member in the white and gold nun's habit kneeling respectfully on one knee to bow to the boy.
They were talking, but they were too far apart for Conan to hear a word, and he couldn't read much from their lips either.
Soon after speaking, the member stood up, bent over, took a few steps back, and then turned and left.
This scene was brief, but it deeply moved Conan.
Kita Aya Otogo—she's also a member of the church?!
With a heart that felt as if it had been bombed, Conan turned and quietly left, unaware that the aloof boy in the wheelchair glanced back at where he had been standing.
