Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 78 Maori: Murder?

There will also be a fireworks display at 6:30 in the evening.

After Gao Mo won a few games, he did not disturb Xiao Huzi from communicating with his classmates. He prepared to take a bath and eat something.

When I returned to the guest room on the second floor, Horikoshi Yumi, who said she was going back to her room to rest, was standing at the stairs with her arms folded, looking angry. She didn't say anything when she saw Gao Mo.

Gao Mo paused slightly and also said nothing.

In this world, anything can be a motive for murder.

He wouldn't be surprised even if only one person was left in this group.

I always feel like there's some emotional entanglement going on.

And this woman is the core.

The bald strong man who broke up with me, looking at the introverted fat man with glasses - who was also the fat man who had a crush on a goddess.

Even with the remaining couple who seemed to be in love, there was something wrong with the way the husband looked at Horikoshi Yumi.

As the former beauty of the judo club, she is indeed very attractive.

Gao Mo looked at Horikoshi Yumi again, asked a passing clerk for some food, and returned to the room.

This world is both heaven and hell to him.

Cases are the soil and nourishment for his growth.

But he is not a cold-blooded person.

Being able to see death and feel the Grim Reaper... is actually a curse in a way.

……

"Conan, hurry up, the fireworks display is about to start, let's go grab a seat first!"

"it is good!"

We played billiards until after six in the evening.

Gao Mo heard Xiaolan and Conan shouting and left the room.

When I returned to the hall, the man with a mustache was hurriedly running out of the billiard room, as if he wanted to grab a seat as well.

However, none of the others left.

The aura of death that enveloped the hotel was already red.

Murderous intent surges.

All it takes is an opportunity, or even just a slight push from him, and it could turn into a mass murder case.

Could have at least 2 or 3 more stars on the note.

"gross profit!"

Gao Mo called out to the confused little mustache man.

"Can we talk for a minute?"

He can ignore those who are irrelevant to him.

But this time... he didn't want death to affect the people around him.

You can’t save those who are bound to die, but you can’t add to their deaths either.

"what happened?"

Kogoro Maori was confused and followed Gao Mo out of the hotel.

The venue for the fireworks display was on the riverside on the other side of the village. The hotel built on the mountain, which was originally deserted, became even more deserted at this moment.

At dusk, the only figures on the path along the ridge of the field were Xiaolan and Conan running away.

"How are your relationships with your classmates?" Gao Mo asked while standing at the edge of the field.

"Of course we have a very good relationship," the man with the mustache said curiously, "Although we went our separate ways after graduating from university, we've never lost contact over the years. We get together here every five years. Kido-chan, you..."

"Maybe I'm overthinking it, but you'd better be careful. I just saw Horikoshi Yumi again, and I have a feeling something might happen between them."

Gao Mo didn't want to say it clearly.

After all, things seemed to have changed because of his arrival.

Thinking about previous experiences, it is best to intervene in the case from the beginning, otherwise it is easy to trigger a chain reaction.

"You mean the murder?"

The man with the mustache saw the familiar expression on Gao Mo's face as if he had encountered something, his Adam's apple rolled, he wiped the sweat off his face and laughed.

"No, no way? What could happen to them? They are all classmates, why would they cause death?"

He has experienced quite a few murders, but he has never encountered anyone around him getting into trouble.

"Do you really understand them?" Gao Mo asked back.

After confirming that there was no aura of death on the mustache man, he clasped his hands and followed the footsteps of Xiaolan and Conan to the venue of the fireworks festival.

Intervention principles:

First, try not to intervene directly;

Second, try to stay away from people who are bound to die and reduce interactions with them, especially when the rules of death come into play.

Unlike Little Mustache, he is easily affected by the Mark of Death.

This is all we can do. What happens next depends on the little mustache himself.

"I..." Maori Kogoro looked at Gao Mo's back with a complicated expression for a moment.

He has great trust in his partner.

It’s hard to say about other aspects, but Gao Mo does have amazing intuition when it comes to cases.

but……

Kogoro Mouri returned to the hotel lobby with a gloomy face, just in time to see the bald strong man Nakamichi Kazushi cleaning up the table tennis court and carrying out a box of ping-pong balls and rackets.

"Mori?" Nakamichi Kazushi asked in surprise, "Why are you back again?"

"Oh, Xiaolan and Conan went to take a seat first," Maori Kogoro looked around, "I was a little worried about you, so I came back to check..."

"Haha, what are you worried about?"

Nakamichi Kazushi went to the duty room carrying the cardboard box.

"Really? Is there no one left at the hotel?"

"Of course, it's the annual fireworks display after all... Come to think of it, I haven't seen anyone since we were playing ball."

The young couple passed by.

"We're going back to the room to take a shower. If you guys go to the venue, please help me get a good seat."

"I'd better take a bath too," Maori Kogoro asked casually, "Where's Omura?"

"Maybe he went to call Yumi? That kid hasn't given up after all these years."

"I gonna go see!"

Mao Li still cared about Gao Mo's reminder and ran quickly to the second floor, leaving several classmates looking at each other in confusion in the hall.

"What's up with him?"

"I do not know."

"Why are you suddenly saying this? I'd never marry you even if I stayed single forever! No one would ever like someone like you!"

Suddenly, Horikoshi Yumi's impatient shout was heard from the second floor.

"That's enough! I told you I'm tired. If you want to watch the fireworks, go ahead! I'm going to bed!"

"Yumi..."

As Mao Li rushed upstairs, he ran into the fat man Omura who was looking down dejectedly.

I vaguely seemed to see Omura clench his fists.

"Omura, don't think too much, Yumi is just joking..."

"Are you kidding?" Omura said bitterly, "I know she's been like this since a long time."

……

"boom!"

6pm.

The fireworks display started on time, and the river bank was crowded with local villagers and tourists from other places.

Many roadside vendors started selling snacks, as if they were holding a grand celebration.

Some children clamored to buy local specialty toys.

It's much more lively than the hot spring hotel where few people are staying.

"I heard that there are many sacrificial activities in this area every time at this time. Do you want to go and have a look tomorrow, Brother Shiroto?" Xiaolan asked Gao Mo who was helping to save a seat.

"let's talk tomorrow."

Gao Mo looked back.

Just as I was wondering what the situation was at the hotel, the next moment I saw the man with a mustache squeezing through the chaotic crowd.

"Dad, this way!" Xiaolan, who had also spotted her father, shouted, "We've got a good spot!"

"Wow, there are so many people. Are all the people from the nearby villages here?"

The man with a mustache wiped his sweat as they met.

"I called everyone here, only Yumi wants to sleep..."

"Excuse me," the couple behind us said, gazing at the waves of charming fireworks on the other side of the river. "It's so beautiful. It feels like I've gone back five years."

“Wouldn’t it be nice if every day could be like this?”

“It would be boring if I watched it every day.”

"Where are Uncle Nakamichi and Uncle Omura?" Xiaolan asked curiously, "Aren't you together?"

"Maybe they were dispersed by the crowd."

The man with a mustache turned around to look, but sure enough, he didn't see the other two old classmates.

"It was there just now... I'll go look for it!"

"Boom-bang!"

Amid the sound of fireworks exploding, Gao Mo quietly watched the panicked figure of the man with a mustache blend into the crowd.

In this strange world, it is difficult to control even your own destiny, so how can you talk about saving others?

If the uncle knew the truth about death, no matter how hard he tried, someone would definitely die...
