Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 246 I Don't Know

Very similar.

That princess is very similar to Xiaolan.

Except for a slightly different temperament, the others are almost exactly the same, as if they were copied and pasted.

Of course, there are still some subtle differences.

If you don't know very well, it is estimated that there is no way to distinguish who is the princess and who is Xiaolan.

But it is not important.

Qingming didn't care too much, just touched where her heart was.

"Sure enough, he was drugged."

He said so.

The heartbeat has increased by one-tenth of the speed. If it is not a problem with the food, it is probably a problem with the air.

Well, neither.

"How strange!"

Qingming rubbed her chest.

Then he curled his lips and continued to eat. Compared with those unimportant things, eating is more fun.

It's really sad.

……

The party didn't last long.

To be precise, it didn't go smoothly, and an accident happened halfway.

Someone wants to be poisoned.

Of course, this was discovered by Conan, and the person pretending to be a finished wine master was knocked down by Mori Kogoro with a strong over-the-shoulder throw.

Qingming saw all this.

Then he yawned boredly.

"The road to that position is always a road paved with blood!"

Shake his head.

He has eaten everything he should eat, and he has no intention of staying here any longer.

"Second miss, I'm leaving."

"Eh? Let's go now? Landu hasn't come yet, and the party hasn't come to an end yet."

"Go out for a walk, just take a walk after dinner."

Qingming waved his hand, turned and left.

Looking at his back, Suzuki Sonoko could only shake her head helplessly.

"It's really... what is it!"

……

It was already dark.

The area near the hotel is relatively prosperous. It is very lively at night and there are many people. It looks very crowded.

Qingming wanders here alone.

Although he ate a lot at the party, but at this moment, he still has some snacks in his hands. It seems that he still has the talent to be a foodie.

Or maybe it's just pure gluttony.

Maybe he was reincarnated from the kind of thing that would eat and grow longer.

Not to mention that.

When playing, time always seems to pass quickly.

But I don't know exactly how long it has been.

Qingming followed the crowd and walked forward, not knowing where the destination was, just drifting with the crowd.

Then stopped.

Stop in the middle of nowhere.

Because of being hit.

It was a girl who bumped directly into his arms, but his body didn't even move. Instead, the girl was pushed down by the reaction force, and she sat on the ground with her buttocks, making a "hey yo".

Take a closer look.

"Oh, princess."

Pick ears.

Whether it's the princess or Xiaolan, Qingming can tell the difference without even looking, so naturally she won't admit her mistake.

Although the princess and Xiaolan just exchanged clothes, she is wearing Xiaolan's school uniform now. She probably met Xiaolan before and was chased by someone, otherwise she would not have bumped into Qingming head-on.

But more is worse than less.

So I was about to bypass the princess and keep going.

But suddenly found that the crowds on both sides were too crowded, and they couldn't squeeze through for a while, so they could only stand in front of the princess.

"whispering sound!"

pouted.

He was about to use Taoism to cheat, but the princess suddenly reached out and grabbed his clothes, and stood up just like that.

Seems a little angry.

"you……"

Maybe he was going to say a few words, but suddenly he thought of something, so he gave up.

"Forget it, it's not your fault."

she said so.

It seems that the princess has a good temper.

It may also be because time is urgent, so I don't plan to argue too much with Qingming, I just want to get out of here quickly.

"His Royal Highness, please wait a moment!"

Behind her, there was also a voice, which sounded like Conan's voice.

But because he was going against the flow of people and was blocked, he couldn't catch up for a while.

The princess wanted to leave, but found that she couldn't get out.

The crowd became more crowded, maybe there is something attractive in front, this kind of crowd is really uncomfortable.

Qingming also felt a little bored.

Simply turn around, squeeze through the crowd and walk back.

Seeing this, the princess' eyes lit up and immediately followed behind, as if Qingming was opening the way for her.

By the time Conan squeezed here, they had long since disappeared.

……

Leaving the bustling area, there are fewer people.

Without the crowds, even the air seems to be much fresher, making people feel much more comfortable to breathe.

"Ah..."

Yawning.

I wondered whether I should go back to rest next, or continue to stroll outside alone.

But before that...

"Could it be that you are following me?"

He squinted, aiming at the girl who was only two or three steps away to the right.

Maybe just the same way?

Qingming thought about it.

Perhaps because of the resemblance between the other party and Xiaolan, he didn't have any dislike for this princess, but he couldn't say he liked her, and he didn't like her following behind.

But Qingming didn't say anything.

The phone rang.

He took out his mobile phone and found that it was Suzuki Sonoko calling, which is rare.

connected.

"Hey, Second Miss, do you want me to accompany you tonight if you are so lonely?"

"roll!"

"Then I'll hang up..."

"Wait, wait, there is something."

"what?"

"That princess, do you remember?"

"Ah."

Qingming nodded.

Glancing at Her Royal Highness who was following behind her step by step, she moved a little closer, as if she wanted to eavesdrop.

Obviously don't know each other.

"What's wrong with the princess? I'm going to marry you? Congratulations."

"...In short, now Lan is here instead of the princess, and the princess is missing. Lan used to say that you are very good at finding someone, so please do me a favor. Due to various reasons, the police are temporarily unable to take action."

"Oh."

"That's it, wait for your news."

"Oh."

Qingming nodded.

Put away the phone and continue walking forward, still followed by a young girl.

for a long time.

Suddenly stopped.

Without the slightest precaution, the girl almost bumped into Qingming.

It was just that moment.

Qingming directly stretched out a hand, and grabbed the opponent's arm accurately, perhaps with a little more strength, the girl grinned, trying to break free.

"It hurts..."

"It hurts?"

"pain……"

"There are more painful ones, do you want to try?"

"what?"

The princess seemed to be frightened, and her face turned pale.

But Qingming is just talking.

Let go of her shoulders, and without waiting for her to be happy, he directly grabbed her hand and pulled her forward.

It looks like a young couple holding hands.

But the princess was not very happy.

"I say you……"

"Why follow me?"

"what?"

"I asked why you followed me. You'd better answer honestly, otherwise I'll sell you to the mountains and ask you to bear children for the peasant uncles in the mountains to carry on the family line."

"?"

The princess didn't seem to understand.

Of course, the problem is knowing, and what I don't understand is about the things behind.

But it is not important.

"Uh huh huh..."

"speak English."

"..."

The girl was silent for a while.

Then he pouted and spoke reluctantly.

"I have nowhere to go."

"Follow me if you have nowhere to go? You know me?"

"I don't know you, but you look like a good person, and, when I was at the venue, I saw you, eating there all the time."

"..."

Qingming stopped.

He turned his head and looked at the girl beside him.

There's a lot going on in my mind.

But in the end, he shook his head and pulled her forward.

"I'll take you back."

said a word.

But upon hearing these words, the girl jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and struggled vigorously.

"I'm not going back."

"If you don't go back, you have to go back, otherwise the ghost knows what danger Lan will be in."

Just think about it.

Someone wanted to poison her before. Although Qingming didn't know what the poison was, it meant that someone was staring at the princess. If the poison was unsuccessful, other actions would probably be taken next.

Maybe do the math.

"Ok?"

He stopped, frowned, and glanced back.

"Looks like they know who the real princess is."

"?"
