Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 159 Goodbye

It's still raining.

The investigation of the case is still continuing, but it is considered to be over.

No matter how many times Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji reasoned in their minds, they could only lock the prisoner on Mai Komi in the end.

So they confirmed that the murderer was Hong Shang Wuyi.

However, no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find any evidence that could prove that Hongshang Wuyi was the murderer.

Not at all.

The most direct evidence is the hood, but there is no poison reaction on it. Thanks to their vows before, they slapped themselves in the face.

And because no other evidence could be found, the two high school student detectives did not reason again.

However, they still did not give up.

When no evidence could be found, they decided to let Hongshang Wuyi tell the truth by herself.

In their view, Hongshang Wuyi must have used some method to dispose of the evidence, so their previous reasoning was wrong, and now they have not thought of the method used by Hongshang Wuyi.

If he couldn't find it, he could only let Hongshang Wuyi tell it by himself.

This is also a trick commonly used by detectives. Through verbal stimulation and scaring, the suspect can subconsciously tell the truth when his emotions fluctuate greatly.

For this reason, they also called Hongshang Wuyi aside alone to "persuade" her.

Of course it still doesn't work.

With Qingming on the side, no matter what they want to do, they are unlikely to succeed. No matter how smart they are, no matter how powerful their reasoning ability is, they are just ordinary people.

How do ordinary people deal with a Taoist priest with various abilities?

Strategy?

If that thing was useful, why did the rabbit try to grow big mushrooms by all means?

Therefore, the actions of Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji ultimately ended in failure.

"Don't mind."

Police Department Megure patted Shinichi Kudo on the shoulder.

He also admitted that Kudo Shinichi is very powerful, and the detection rate is almost [-]%, otherwise he would not be touted as "Sherlock Holmes in the Heisei era".

But even so, he is just a high school student after all, an ordinary person, not a god.

Even a god can fail, let alone an ordinary person.

In any case, the case is closed for the time being.

After the police collected the evidence and removed the body, they withdrew from the auditorium, leaving behind a group of spectators who were no longer interested in watching the performance.

They also withdrew one after another.

Qingming and Ayumi naturally left together.

It was raining, and he didn't bring an umbrella, but Qingming walked out with Ayumi in his arms, and the rain didn't get on them at all.

It's really convenient if you have the ability.

"Oni sauce, Oni sauce."

"Ok?"

"Why do people kill people?"

"Um……"

Qingming did not answer.

Holding the little girl in his arms, he walked to the school gate in the rain.

He stopped and looked at groups of three and four walking out of the school gate, talking and laughing, and walking in different directions. The previous cases did not affect these people at all.

That's right, after all, the dead have nothing to do with them.

"Who knows."

Shake his head.

Holding the little girl, look for the direction to leave here.

"Maybe human beings are such creatures that like to hurt each other."

……

Time passed slowly.

After that, another two days passed.

The police still did not give up on the investigation, but all the evidence was destroyed, so naturally there would be no conclusion...

No, there are still results.

The final result is that the case is temporarily sealed, without a conclusion.

This has nothing to do with Qingming.

a new day.

The Naiheqiao coffee shop is still the same today, and the Mengpo soup coffee is basically not sold.

In the afternoon, Hong Shang Wuyi came here.

She had been cooperating with the police investigation before, and thought she would be exposed and arrested by the police, but the development of the matter was far beyond her expectations.

Actually she is very clear.

She did put the poisoned ice cubes in the hood, so she was a little surprised that there was no poison reaction.

Been very careful these two days.

Until now, the police seemed to have given up on continuing to investigate the case, so she found time to come to the coffee shop.

Her intuition told her that those strange things had something to do with Qingming.

So here she is.

Qingming also received her with a smile on her face as always, and invited her to drink Mengpo soup and coffee.

Unlike the Meng Po Tang coffee she drank before, this time it was a normal coffee, and it tasted very good, better than any coffee she had ever had before.

"It's actually a coffee blend."

Qingming smiled all over his face, picked up the coffee and talked.

"Actually, I'm quite confident about blending coffee."

"?"

Hong Shang Wu Yi didn't quite understand.

But she didn't dwell on this, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something.

Qingming didn't let her speak out.

"Mengpo soup, do you know what it is?"

he asked.

Regarding this, Hong Shang Wu Yi just shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

Although Nehong also has legends such as Wangchuanhe and Bianhua, it is different from Huaxia in that there is no such thing as Meng Po Tang and Sansheng Stone, so many people don't know it.

Qingming didn't care either.

"It is said that every person who dies has to go through Huangquan Road, step on Naihe Bridge, look back on the Wangxiang Terrace, and then drink the Mengpo soup that forgets everything, and enter the six realms of reincarnation."

Mengpo soup, no matter love or hatred or anything, can make people forget everything.

Completely forget.

In other words, let go of everything in the world, and then start a new life. The past has nothing to do with this person.

Of course, the Qingming Mengpo soup does not have such an effect.

But it is possible to make people forget some things.

"This is the Naihe bridge, and the cup is Mengpo soup, senior sister, goodbye."

"..."

……

Hong Shang dance clothes.

It seems that I have experienced a lot of things recently, and it seems that I have never experienced it.

When I regained consciousness in a trance, I found myself sitting in a coffee shop, looking at a steaming cup of coffee on the table.

A little confused.

I looked around and found that there were no other customers in the store, only a girl in a maid outfit clearing the tables, and a boy sitting at the counter who seemed to be reading a book.

There is nothing special about it.

"dream?"

Looking at the boy, Hong Shang Wuyi was stunned for a long time.

I don't know why, but there is no memory related to this boy in my mind, but I just feel a sense of closeness.

It seems to be an illusion.

Shake his head.

Picking up the coffee and tasting it slowly, I sat here alone for a long time.

Then check out and leave.

When he walked to the door of the store, he couldn't help turning his head and glanced at the boy sitting at the counter.

But the boy seemed to be obsessed with the books in his hands and didn't pay attention to her at all.

Turn around, open the store door and go outside.

Stretch.

"The weather is nice today!"

The wind is sunny, and the sun shines on people, making people feel warm.

Smile, look for the direction.

Then lift your feet and continue to walk forward, keep walking until you can't walk anymore.

in the coffee shop.

Qingming looked at the closed shop door.

He quickly looked back, raised the corners of his mouth and showed a bright smile, put down the books in his hand and looked at Azusa Enomoto who was packing up.

"Azi."

"Ok?"

"While there is no one now, why don't you come and let me have a good time."

"roll!"

"Ah, Ah Zi is still so ruthless."

"..."
