Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 45 So Strange
The murderer was captured.

Qingming just watched and did not intervene.

This seems to be inconsistent with the general routine. Shouldn't it be pretending to be 13 and hitting the face at this time?

Even if you pretend to be an envoy of justice to reveal the truth and catch the murderer.

However, that is not a clear character.

And, does the truth have to be revealed?Must the murderer be caught?
Sometimes it must, sometimes not necessarily.

This is the idea of ​​Qingming.

But Conan's thinking is obviously different from his.

The tears of the beautiful sister Tomomi Sakaguchi did not soften his heart at all, and he did not hesitate to testify.

Maybe it's because they think that as long as someone is dead, the murderer can't be allowed to go unpunished.

Anyway, it's over.

Qingming can also leave.

"He really has a heart of stone!"

On the way back to the coffee shop, Qingming was so emotional.

Detective, what kind of creature is that?
"Oni-chan, Oni-chan, what are you talking about?"

Subconsciously, Qingming is spoken in Chinese.

This made Ayumi not understand.

And hearing her voice, Qingming seemed to react.

"Eh? Why are you still here?"

"Oni-chan Oni-chan has been holding me!"

"..."

It seems to be the same, forgot to put the little girl down.

Looking back, I found that there were no policemen behind me, and no one I knew.

So I was relieved.

He looked at the little girl in his arms again.

Sure enough, at this time, should he be pulled into a deserted alley and unfolded?
No, no, no, as a senior sister-in-law, how can I attack a loli?

He should wait for his sister unswervingly.

Although he didn't.

"Since you're here, let's eat cake."

"Okay."

Ayumi nodded.

Maybe it was having cake to eat, which made her feel very happy.

But doubts have not been resolved.

"Speaking of which, Oni-chan, Oni-chan, what were you talking about just now?"

"Oh, I'm talking about a certain schoolboy, really hard-hearted."

"Are you talking about Conan? What does it mean to be hard-hearted?"

The primary school student in Qingming's mouth refers to Conan, and everyone who is familiar with it knows that.

Ayumi naturally knew it too.

But when it came to the idiom "hard-hearted", she didn't know what it meant.

But Qingming did not explain.

"It's nothing, it doesn't matter if you don't know, anyway, you just need to maintain this innocent and kind character."

At least, until you grow up, keep it up.

Because it is easy to go from innocent to realistic, but almost impossible to go from realistic to naive.

Qingming doesn't like anything else, but the innocence of the little girl.

Because that's something he doesn't have.

……

Be careful, there is a pair of eyes staring at you in the dark.

……

coffee shop.

"Wow, it's a cat."

Ayumi, who was eating the cake, suddenly let out an exclamation, and seemed to have some information.

Get under the table and come out soon.

It's just that there is an extra cat in my arms.

A black cat.

"Meow..."

Seemingly enjoying the feeling of being hugged by the little girl, the black cat let out a soft cry, and rubbed its head against the little girl's palm.

This seems to be just a very ordinary cat.

Hearing the movement here, Qingming at the counter also looked over.

Line of sight, right on.

Clear sight and black cat's sight.

It seems ordinary, and it seems unusual.

a long time.

"Where did the cat come from?"

"Oh, I came with the guests before, but I didn't expect to leave with the guests. It doesn't seem to be his cat."

Azusa Enomoto, who was clearing the table, replied.

It was just a cat, and she didn't think much of it.

Not a crow.

After hearing the explanation, Qingming nodded and glanced at the black cat, but he didn't seem to care too much.

But start talking.

"Wait and throw it out."

"Eh? Why?"

Azusa Enomoto didn't speak, but Ayumi objected first.

"Isn't it good to keep it?"

She seemed to like small animals more, so she said she wanted to keep them without thinking too much about them.

But it's not her raising, but Qingming raising.

The meaning is like this, Qingming also understands.

But Qingming would not agree.

"Small animals of unknown origin cannot be raised, otherwise they will become horse monkeys making wine."

"Horse monkey shochu?"

"Oh, magical girl."

Qingming explained.

Mahou Shaojiu said he was used to it, so he said it subconsciously.

After hearing the corrected pronunciation, Ayumi understood.

His eyes widened, as if surprised.

"Really?"

"Of course it's fake."

Azusa Enomoto rolled her eyes.

She expressed disapproval of Qingming's behavior of deceiving the little girl.

"How could there be less magic in the world...er..."

At the end, I suddenly couldn't continue.

To say why...

That's because there is a capable person in front of him, although he is not a magician, but a person who calls himself a Taoist priest.

It seems that I can't talk too much in the future.

Azusa Enomoto rubbed her head, seeming to have a headache.

Qingming, who supported his head with one hand, looked at this side with a smile.

"That's why, little girl, I can't become an adult like your sister Azi who has no dreams in the future."

"Oh."

Although she didn't quite understand, the little girl nodded.

Azusa Enomoto curled her lips and hummed softly.

Then continue to work.

Ayumi over there corrected the topic again.

"Is this really unbearable?"

"Of course not."

"Why? Oni-chan Oni-chan doesn't like cats?"

"If you want to talk about cats, I prefer blue cats or rainbow cats, and I don't like the others so much."

"Male cat? Rainbow cat?"

The little girl's pronunciation was a bit inaccurate, and there was some confusion on her face.

A small hand was still stroking the black cat.

These two words, Qingming, are in Huaxia, so she naturally couldn't understand them, and she couldn't speak them either.

But Qingming still didn't explain.

"It's nothing. All in all, men don't keep cats and women don't keep dogs, and I'm too lazy to keep them. Besides, this cat has an owner."

"Owner?"

"Look at how clean it is all over, someone must have bathed it, and just threw it out not long ago, and it will go home by itself."

"OK then."

After hearing this, the little girl finally didn't think too much.

He just sat there, teasing the black cat.

Qingming looked at it, but ignored it.

He just waved at Enomoto Azusa, gesturing for her to come over.

Azusa Enomoto glanced at him, but walked over to the counter anyway.

"Do you have any orders, innkeeper?"

She had a smile on her face.

But in his hand, he was holding the rag that was just wiping the table.

Still shaking in front of Qingming's eyes, obviously threatening.

Of course Qingming is not afraid of threats, and she is also smiling.

"Actually, I want to say, I like your cat more than those cats. How about it? Do you want to change into the cat maid suit again?"

"..."

I knew Qingming wouldn't say anything good.

Showing a ferocious expression towards Qingming, he turned and left directly.

In the end, he still didn't make a move.

Qingming smiled, didn't think much, and started to read the book again.

It seems that he seldom reads books recently.

……

night.

Ayumi left long ago, and the black cat was also thrown out.

After finishing dinner and cleaning up, Azusa Enomoto officially left work.

In the coffee shop, Qingming was the only one left.

No one's coffee shop, so quiet.

I didn't read a book either, I just quietly looked at the empty store space.

At this time, I always feel very lonely.

There was a "ding" sound suddenly.

Also arouses clarity of mind.

Turning his head, he saw a young girl walking in.

She has short hair and frowns slightly, perhaps worrying about something.

"Get drunk and relieve your worries, girl, this is a coffee shop, not a bar."

Without even thinking about it, Qingming immediately started chasing people away.

Young people who are worried about broken love, unemployment, etc., probably want to get drunk.

But this time, he guessed wrong.

"Have three cups of signature coffee."

Signature coffee?

Mengpo soup?
Originally, Qingming, who had no spirit, suddenly became interested.

Could it be another person who guessed that this is the identity of the coffee shop in the urban legend?

"very strange."

Qingming thought so.

"Why do you feel that all the guesses are women? Is it an illusion?"
