Conan and I start the hell-level main line

Chapter 254 Full Moon: Have the confidence to stand on your own

In the heavy rain, in a luxurious villa, a woman wearing a black jacket and all black squatted in the living room.

Next to her, there was a middle-aged man lying on the sofa, sleeping soundly. He had a hole made in his temple before going to bed to help him sleep.

The woman was wearing a black hat, her long blond hair was tied into a ponytail, and there were scars on her face from shaking.

It took a lot of effort to stare at him with cold eyes, just to make the FBI think he committed suicide.

But a pair of glasses fell on the ground not far away, looking very unnatural.

The woman was about to pick it up when the door to the living room opened. She vigilantly touched the pistol at her waist.

Outside the door, a cute girl with sleepy eyes, holding a teddy bear, walked in. She had the same brown hair as Ai.

“Who are you?”

The woman took the glasses, walked up to the little girl, put her index finger in front of her mouth and smiled slightly.

"Little friend, this is a secret. I won't tell you. A secret makes a woman woman."

The girl was probably too young to understand what was life and death, what was an enemy and a friend, and she only saw this woman in black and blonde hair.

"These are Daddy's glasses. Daddy, what happened to him? Did he fall asleep? He clearly said he would read a story to me before going to bed."

The woman smiled coldly, returned the glasses to the girl, and said, "Little friend, why don't you just go to his side and wait for him to get up?"

The girl nodded obediently, her childish voice full of innocence and kindness, "Yes."

After the woman left, the house behind her burst into flames, burning everything in the house.

It burned away the innocence and simplicity of the little girl.

A long red shadow stained with flames was cast in front of the burning woman, as well as the sigh and sorrow in her eyes.

……

“Don’t blame me…”

……

"Teacher? Teacher Judy?"

Xiaolan and Yuanzi, who were standing in front of the store and helping the clerk think about the incident, found that Judy was distracted while thinking.

"Are you okay, teacher? Are you thinking about something? You seem to be absorbed in your thoughts."

The calling voice pulled Judy back from her unforgettable memories. Judy pinched her fingers on the Yin Tang acupoint and continued to pretend to be her current self, or smiled apologetically.

"No idea. I can't think of an answer. Is there something wrong?"

Sonoko was stunned, "Ah, this is the first time I see the teacher taking off his glasses."

"It's the first time." Judy's eyes lowered slightly as she looked at the glasses in her hand that she had become accustomed to wearing but didn't fit her well.

Xiaolan: "But these glasses seem quite old."

"Oh yes, this is something very important to me. This is a very, very important person of mine, the only trace I have left in this world."

Judy muttered, putting her glasses back on, "I just wear them all the time."

"A very important person?" Xiaolan felt touched for some reason. Is this person as important to her as she is to her?

That person who seemed so close yet so illusory...

Soon, perhaps because the cold wind outside really made the daughter of the science world suffer, the world consciousness specially prepared a magical clue and presented it to Xiaolan.

Xiaolan seemed to have figured something out, but she found it too unbelievable and was not sure of her own reasoning.

So he asked, "Yuanzi, do you know that famous quote from Sherlock Holmes?"

"Ah?" Yuanzi said, "I'm not a mystery geek, how can I know this? If it's a famous saying related to love, you and I do know some of it. . .

Xiaolan deeply recalled the daily nagging of the reasoning geek when she was with Shinichi. "Shinichi used to say this to me seriously, saying that after eliminating the impossible, what's left is..."

Uh... I suddenly can't remember it. Oh, I didn't pay enough attention to it before and I don't remember much. Who would have thought that I would have to reason it myself in the future.

Sonoko: Shouldn't the detective's wife be the detective's assistant? Xiaolan, you are not qualified for this job.

Xiaolan (∴◎?◎∴): Sonoko, what are you talking about? It’s definitely not the Madam! . .

"Sometimes what remains after eliminating the impossible is beyond common sense, but that is the truth," Judy reminded, but she seemed to feel it herself.

This famous quote, and that strange woman in the mist called "impossible".

Judy: “Is that what you wanted to say?”

Xiaolan nodded. She didn't expect that she still needed help from others. But this also made Xiaolan even less confident and she had to face it alone.

I don't know if my own reasoning is correct.

At this time, Xiaolan found that the manager's patience had reached its end. He had already determined that it was an innocent clerk who did it, and began to interrogate her with determination.

Xiaolan couldn't bear it, but her lack of confidence held her back, just like standing up to answer a question in class, knowing the answer clearly but not daring to stand up.

What should I do? If I say something wrong, it will cause more trouble.

What would Shinichi do when he encountered this situation? If it were him, if it were him...

Jingle bells, jingle bells~

Xiaolan's phone rang, interrupting her complicated thoughts. She took out the phone and found that it was Shinichi calling.

Wow, they really look like a couple, they are so in tune with each other, whenever there is a problem with Xiaolan, Shinichi can sense it.

……

At Dr. Agasa's house, Conan is holding a bow-tie-shaped voice changer, pretending to be someone he doesn't like. Oh no, this time it's his own voice.

Conan looked at the envelope in his hand and said, "Hi Ran, how are you?"

Xiaolan might have found a solution in her mind, "Shinichi..."

Conan: "I'm sorry, Xiaolan. Actually, I didn't call you for anything important. I just wanted to ask..."

"Shinichi!" There was an anxious and worried tone in Xiaolan's voice. Conan's eyes became serious and he realized that something was wrong with Xiaolan.

"You, what's wrong with you?" As expected, Conan still cares more about Xiaolan, and her affairs are always put first.

"To be honest, some things happened to me. Listen to me..." Xiaolan told Shinichi what happened to them in the store.

Based on oral narration alone, the battle-hardened Conan was able to deduce the truth. It was not difficult for him at all!

Because he is a hacker himself, the spokesperson for science.

Conan once again showed his all-seeing smile, "Oh~ Maybe I know which of the three is the thief."

Conan was about to explain his reasoning, but Xiaolan spoke first, hoping that Shinichi would listen to Xiaolan's own reasoning.

Soon, Xiaolan told her reasoning, and when Conan heard this, his glasses magically turned white.

Conan is praising and expressing his happiness for Xiaolan. I never expected that you, a Sherlock Holmes fan like me, can also stand on your own.

Xiaolan said with hope: "...How about it, am I right?"

"Hahahahahaha." Conan couldn't help but laugh.

Xiaolan felt ashamed, "Shinichi, didn't I tell you not to laugh?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not laughing at your inference. I just think it's really funny that you have made such a conclusion and yet you stand idly by and watch at this critical moment."

"Then, is my reasoning correct?" After understanding, Xiaolan was immediately full of anticipation. What she really wanted was Shinichi's encouragement.

Conan chuckled and said, "I don't know about that~"

Xiaolan (﹁“﹁) : “What do you mean? I’m not like some high school detective who can always express his thoughts with confidence.”

Conan: "Please, even detectives are ordinary people. None of them are omniscient and omnipotent gods."

"In fact, every detective will have a little uneasiness in their heart when trying to come up with an inference. They will also worry whether they have overlooked some details."

"When you are right about the truth, the pleasure will be doubled. I just think I shouldn't take such a rare pleasure away from you."

Yes, even detectives make mistakes sometimes, but what makes detectives so enjoyable and fascinating is the ability to see the truth for oneself and the recognition of others.

Perhaps every true detective has a dream, which is to be able to see through this dark shadow wrapped in layers of fog.

Of course, this is not the time to say this.

Conan: "If you think your inference is correct, try to speak it out."

Xiaolan was a little nervous, "Try...try it?"

After Conan told Xiaolan a very interesting method, Xiaolan rushed into the store with sudden realization and began her reasoning.

After Conan hung up the phone, the proud smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a faint sadness and a complicated expression.

Xiaolan, I was also shy and made many mistakes, and I walked out step by step, which brought me the confidence I have now.

But, Xiaolan, I don’t want you to become a detective. I don’t want you to get caught up in the vortex of human nature such as murder.

I was right about one thing. The truth that I expected is indeed the pleasure that every detective is addicted to, but...

What about those unforgivable murderers?

I used to know nothing and pushed them into despair time and time again, but now, "Moonlight", which allows me to be myself, has taught me to respect life.

But it also brought me to the complex self I am today.

Inside the house, Dr. Agasa was still investigating the invitation letter. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy.

If you want to have a plan, you must never be passive.

Soon, Xiaolan called again. This time, she was full of joy, a feeling she had never felt before.

"Shinichi, yes, you are right, it is really as you reasoned."

Conan smiled gently, "No, you should be right. This was originally your own reasoning."

Xiaolan was stunned. Yes, I was the one who was investigating and reasoning from beginning to end. This time, I succeeded on my own.

"No, it's also with your help, Shinichi."

Conan chuckled, "Xiaolan, in fact, it was you who overcame your inner lack of confidence. Congratulations on successfully entering the field of junior detectives. Keep up the good work~"

"What? I don't want to be a mystery geek like you." Xiaolan replied proudly.

"Haha, that's up to you. By the way, I actually have something to ask you."

"Oh yeah, Shinichi, what's going on?"

"Did Uncle Maori also receive an invitation to attend a party on a full moon night?"

Xiaolan nodded, "Indeed, Dad is still enthusiastic about accepting the challenge and will set off tomorrow afternoon."

"Shinichi, why are you asking this? Did you receive it too? Are you going too?"

That is the answer to the request, I hope to meet your concern.

"This..." Conan was speechless for a moment. He also understood what Xiaolan meant. The longing for an important person might really make her take risks.

I could only smile bitterly and said, "No, I don't plan to go. In fact, I haven't finished the case I prepared yet, so I don't have time to go, haha."

Xiaolan was a little angry, "Humph, only a mystery fanatic like you would say that..."

The young couple flirted. . They chatted for a while under the holy moonlight. The moonlight brought loneliness and melancholy, but at this moment, the meeting of the red man and the white man's mind and spirit made their hearts no longer lonely. .

After a long time, Xiaolan hung up the phone reluctantly. Conan sighed and said, "If one day, I hope I can really return to you under the moonlight."

……

At Judy's house, Sonoko and Xiaolan helped Judy organize a farewell party, but unexpectedly, Judy got drunk.

Sonoko: "Really? The teacher gets drunk so quickly. This party would be boring without the teacher."

Xiaolan: "I think Teacher Judy hasn't been home for a long time, so she is so relaxed."

Xiaolan called Kogoro Mouri again and told him that he had to go out to find food by himself.

Maori Kogoro: Well, they all ran away one by one, and now there is no ready-made food.

(How lazy you are..)

After the phone call, I had almost finished explaining what was going on for tonight, so I wanted to go to the bathroom.

As a result, Xiaolan accidentally discovered that there was a photo under the mirror.

Curious Xiaolan opened the mirror and was shocked. Inside were all photos of Conan. Were they all secretly taken?

"How could this happen..." Xiaolan broke out in a cold sweat, and a cold suspicion rose in her heart.

"Teacher, how could... there be these?"
