Chapter 670 Just Curiosity, Pure Curiosity
"Well, I don't really know either, because he only moved here recently," Conan said, scratching the back of his head and laughing.
"Really?" Kawasaki looked at him suspiciously. "But I feel like he's not simple."
"What's so simple about it?" Conan feigned curiosity.
Kawakita Machi: "Have you ever heard the saying..."
Conan: "What did you say?"
Kawasaki Machi seriously said, "Those guys with squinty eyes are never simple."
Conan: "..."
Kawasaki Maru listened without saying a word.
Alex knew that Subaru Okiya was Shuichi Akai, but Maru Kawasaki 'did not know'.
Similarly, Shuichi Akai didn't know that Alex and Maru Kawakita were the same person, since they had only contacted each other but had never met.
Glancing at the two people, one adult and one child, chatting happily, Kawasaki Maru quietly walked out of the Kudo residence.
After Kawakita Machi and the other person finished talking, they realized that he was already gone.
Before leaving, Conan suddenly received a text message from Maru Kawasaki.
He glanced at his phone, then at Chuan Shengzhenzhi, and, seeing the other's confused expression, said to him, "Chuan Sheng said you shouldn't leave this room casually."
After saying that, he just slipped away.
Kawakita Machi: "???"
Looking at the empty living room, Makoto fell silent.
He stayed at the Kudo residence for a few days, during which time he still looked like a young man.
All I can say is that the duration of this drug's effects would drive Conan crazy with envy.
Kawasaki Machi yawned as he walked out of his room, just in time to hear Professor Agasa downstairs troubling Subaru Okiya to pick up the Junior Detective League members who were sea fishing.
His eyes lit up immediately, and he slid down the stair railing, jumped to Okiya Subaru's side, and put a hand on his shoulder. "Okiya, take me with you, I'm so bored these days."
He pushed up his glasses, his eyes narrowed, and said in a steady voice, "But didn't Chuan Sheng tell you not to leave this room?"
Kawasaki Machi pretended not to hear, "Take me with you, take me with you, take me with you. Don't make it seem like you've imprisoned me here."
Subaru Okiya paused for a moment, thought for a second, and then nodded. "Alright, but you'll need to put on a disguise."
"camouflage?"
Kawasaki Machi raised an eyebrow, though puzzled, he still put on a little pretense.
—He pulled out a knitted hat and a pair of black-rimmed glasses from somewhere and put them on.
Subaru Okiya: "..."
"Alright, let's go." Kawasaki Machi adjusted his hat, put on his shoes, and went out, looking slightly happy.
After arriving at the coast, they took a boat to the fishing spot where Conan and his friends were to pick them up.
Looking at the sky, which was already darkening with dusk, Kawasaki Machi felt as if he were being choked by the salty sea breeze.
"Huh? Why isn't it Professor Agasa?"
The three children, who were excitedly waving at the ship, discovered as the ship drew near that it wasn't Professor Agasa, but rather Subaru Okiya, whom they had met at the Wooden Horse Manor, and an older boy they didn't recognize.
Subaru Okiya explained to them why Professor Agasa hadn't come.
"Because there was a problem with his invention, he couldn't come."
The Junior Detective League nodded knowingly, then looked at the young man with long, straight pink hair next to him, "And who is this big brother?"
Kawasaki Machi looked them over curiously, and with a smile, he was interrupted by Conan after only a few words, "My name is Kawa..."
"Ah! This big brother is Okiya-nii's younger brother! His name is Okiya Kawa, hahaha..."
Seeing the bewildered look on Kawasaki Machi's face, Conan winked at him.
“Uh…” Kawasaki Machi was slightly speechless, and looked hesitantly at Okiya Subaru.
The other party didn't show any sign of anything being wrong.
"Hello, my name is... Okiya... Kawa...?" Kawa Sei Machi looked unfamiliar with his own name.
The three members of the Detective Club blinked, and then Mitsuhiko suddenly pointed out, "Hey! This older brother looks a lot like Machi!"
“Yes, that’s right.” Upon hearing this, Ayumi observed carefully and found that it really did look very similar.
Kawasaki Machi asked in confusion, "Because I... mmm...!"
Subaru Okiya quickly covered his mouth and changed the subject, "Let's all get on the ship first, or the sun will set."
"good!"
Seeing that Ayumi and the others didn't pursue the matter further, Conan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After boarding the ship, he went to Subaru Okiya's side and whispered, "Why did he come along too?"
"He insisted on coming along, and I couldn't stop him."
Subaru Okiya looked at me with a helpless expression.
Conan: "..."
"So what is it that I can't know?" Kawasaki Machi suddenly joined the chat, his crescent-shaped eyes scanning them. "It's one thing that Maru won't tell me, but why are you all keeping it from me too?"
Conan chuckled dryly, "Actually, it's not anything very important..."
"This involves some things that you're not comfortable knowing, so we're sorry we can't explain them to you," said Subaru Okiya, who seemed much more open and honest.
Chuan Shengzhen looked suspicious, a glint of light flashing in his narrowed eyes. "Is that so? Then I won't ask anymore."
After saying that, he turned around and went to chat with the group of children.
"I probably can't keep it from him forever."
Conan shook his head and sighed, though he didn't quite understand why Kawasaki Maru had chosen not to tell him these things.
With his hands in his pockets, a glint of light flashed across his glasses. "Yes, he's always been very shrewd."
"Hmm?" Conan looked up at him. "You seem to know him quite well?"
"I can see a bit of that after spending these past few days together," Subaru Okiya replied ambiguously.
While they were having a slightly inquisitive chat, Kawasaki Machi started watching the sunset with the children.
"What's that pointy thing over there?" Ayumi pointed to a pointed rock on the sea.
"That's One-Horned Rock. It's said to be formed from the horn of a One-Horned Dragon. Ships don't dare to get close because they'll sink if they do. But that One-Horned Dragon really likes children. Would you like to go over there and take a look?"
"think!"
There seemed to be an adult's voice mixed in with the child's voice.
Kawasaki Masachika: It's just curiosity, pure curiosity.
As they approached the corner rock, another boat came close by, but it seemed to be looking for something, and after finding nothing there, it turned and left.
Kawasaki Machi's gaze fell on the departing ship, as if he were deep in thought.
Stepping onto the rocky outcrop, Kawasaki Machi slowly circled around it before returning. Conan and the others also discovered the inscriptions carved on the rock.
"I found a woman's body on the other side; she had been dead for several hours."
His words shocked them all.
"Huh!?"
Conan immediately took off running.
After glancing at their figures, Kawasaki Machi turned his gaze to Okiya Subaru and said, "Let's call the police to handle this."
