[Comprehensive] This onmyoji is a bit European
Chapter 23 [European Emperor] Being Followed
Clearing his throat, Conan stabilized his mind and looked at Touya who was sitting across from him with a serious expression, "Can I ask you a few questions?"
"Well, yes." Tou also nodded.
"In the previous case of the Aida family, did Kirishima expect that he would be killed by his own son after accepting the commission of Aida Ryuichi?"
Holding the fork paused, Touya raised his eyes strangely and looked at Conan with a serious face, "I am a demon exorcist, not a prophet."
"Of course I know." Conan nodded, "But I still have doubts about the fact that you can tell that Koyuki Aida is the murderer at a glance."
Putting down the fork in his hand, Touya picked up the teacup at hand, sipped the black tea in it lightly, raised his eyelids from time to time to observe Huiyuan sitting next to Conan.
When I was talking about "Evil Eliminator" just now, the little girl's expression didn't change at all. Rather, she seemed to know about it a long time ago. It seems that the kid with glasses told her in advance.
Putting down the teacup, Touya looked straight at Conan calmly, and said slowly, "The reason why Aida Ryuichi entrusted me has already been said before, and the monster lurking in his house was also caught by me, um, it is possessed." The one in Aida Koyuki's body. And I'm only responsible for eliminating monsters, as for whether Aida Koyuki is the murderer, I don't want to know."
After finishing speaking, he added: "As for the last time you asked me about the wound on Aida Koyuki's index finger, when you were lying on the ground on the third floor and looking around, I happened to see the stain that fell next to the desk. Sawdust with blood on it."
"Afterwards, when the police were questioning in the living room, Aida Yuyu poured black tea for us. I was sitting next to him at that time and noticed that his fingers were unnatural when holding the teapot. Although it was very subtle, I still saw his index finger That wound on the face."
"So, when you think of that sawdust, you start to doubt Aida Koyuki?" Conan continued.
"Yeah." Tou also nodded.
That Aida Xingyu is the key observation object in the content of his commission. When we first met, Toru saw the monster lying on his shoulder, but he didn't expect that there would be a murder later, until he saw the wood chips and Aida Xingyu's index finger After seeing the wounds on his body, he began to face up to the case.
"Hey~ The real culprit was caught with just these two innocuous details, Kirishima-kun's reasoning ability is also pretty good." Haibara teased from the side.
Tou also shook his head, the real culprit was not caught by him, but the kid with glasses on the opposite side.
"Then why did you deliberately tell me to lead me to doubt Aida Koyuki?" Conan raised another question.
Tou also patiently continued to explain, "Because I want to test."
"Huh?" Conan was puzzled.
"The spirit behind Edogawa-kun is too eye-catching, so I want to try it out."
When he said "the spirit behind the back", Touya's gaze passed over the girl next to Conan who had been leaning on her chin and looking at him without a trace.
Conan twitched, it was the behind-the-scenes he said that caused his true identity to be discovered.
"Then the last question." Conan exhaled softly, "You said you are a demon exorcist, is that true?"
"..." This person is so annoying.
There was a moment of helplessness in Touya's eyes, he looked around the coffee shop, "Do you want me to catch a monster on the spot for you to see?"
"No, no need." Conan waved his hand immediately, "I believe you now!"
After finishing the last drop of coffee in the cup, Huiyuan put down the cup, and looked at Touya with interest with his slightly wide almond eyes, "I didn't expect that there are phenomena in this world that science can't solve, today is really an eye-opener. "
"Your reaction was calmer than I expected." Conan raised his forehead. It took him several days to reluctantly accept this fact.
"By the way, is it convenient to ask the details of the last case?" Seeing that the two children on the opposite side finally calmed down, Tou also asked the question he wanted to know.
"what?"
"Aida Koyuki's motive for killing Aida Ryuichi."
This was also something he hadn't understood since then. The client was killed before the entrusted task was completed, which made him feel a little uncomfortable all the time.
"Ah, what are you talking about." Conan pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and explained to Toru, "I heard from Uncle Mori at the office that this Aida Yuki is actually not the child of Aida Ryuichi and his current wife. , but with a maid who worked at Aida's house many years ago."
"However, after giving birth to Aida Yuki, the maid passed away. Later, Aida Ryuichi married his current wife, saying that he was afraid of making the family ugly, so he raised Aida Yuki as the child of those two people, and after so many years Come on, Aida Yuki has always had a bad attitude towards the illegitimate son of Aida Yuki, and he also ignored him. Just a month ago, Aida Yuki accidentally found his Remains of his biological mother, and a letter written by his biological mother before her death."
Probably felt that the content of the letter was too embarrassing for them, so they didn't continue.
After listening, Tou also lowered his eyes, feeling a little complicated.To him, the life and death of other people seems insignificant, but to Aida Koyuki, a person with a gloomy past, his reason for killing looks so ridiculous and so high-sounding, perhaps because of this, that monster will choose to be attached to Aida Koyuki's body
Can't help but think of a sentence Seimei once said to him——
[Monsters are best at lurking in human panic, jealousy and other negative emotions, waiting for an opportunity. 】
If one day I also fell into this situation, what would happen?
……
……
"Kirishima, Kirishima?" Conan called Touya's name loudly, "What's wrong with you?"
After regaining consciousness, Tou also shook his head, trying to throw out the unrealistic idea in his mind just now.
Facing Conan's worried eyes, Toru also comforted him: "I was thinking about something just now, sorry."
Conan nodded, not paying too much attention to this guy's strangeness.
The purpose of coming this time has been fully achieved, and the three of them relaxed a lot. Tou also took out a few banknotes from his wallet and put them on the table, "I should go, do you want to stay here?"
"Well, sister Xiaolan will come over later." Conan said.
Tou also nodded, then stood up, "Then I'll go first, if you encounter any murder, remember to contact me."
"Got it." Conan twitched the corner of his mouth, this guy still remembers this.
Slightly nodding at Haibara, Toruya got up and left his seat, and walked out of the cafe.
Conan leaned lazily on the sofa until he couldn't see Touya, and asked Haibara next to him, "How is it?"
"Except for the identity of the exorcist, he should be just an ordinary high school student." Huiyuan said lightly.
"Ah, that's what I thought, but are you so sure?"
"He looked at me with a little bit of inquiry besides politeness." Huiyuan played with the silver spoon in the cup, "I guess he also saw the so-called ghost behind me."
"Sometimes I really want to see what the spirit behind him looks like." Conan smiled wryly.
"Oh? Edogawa-kun, who believes in science, would have such an idea." Haibara gave Conan a meaningful look, "Well, since you are not related to the organization, then don't put too much energy on it. His body, that person's world is beyond the reach of ordinary people like us."
Conan didn't make a sound, just holding the phone, staring thoughtfully at the number marked with the name "Toya Kirishima" on the screen.

After leaving the coffee shop, Toru also found a shady place to sit down, took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Seiji Shitara, asking if he could come over later.It's still early, Zhenchi City is very close to Mihua Market, and I haven't been to Shilejia for a long time.
Seiji Shile did not reply immediately after sending the text message, Tou also put away his mobile phone, looked left and right at this bustling commercial street, and decided to find a dessert shop to buy a souvenir to take there.
Ah, I knew I just bought it at that coffee shop, but the cheesecake in that shop didn't taste very good...
He raised his hand to cover the glare of the sun, even though he was sitting in the shade, a thin layer of sweat still appeared on Touye's forehead.The weather is getting hotter and hotter now, and he, who has always been greedy for coolness, began to resist the upcoming summer vacation.
Standing up, Tou also saw from a distance the Mihua department store building standing in the center of the commercial street. Generally, large commercial buildings are equipped with air conditioners, and there should also be dessert shops inside.
Through the hustle and bustle of the crowd, Tou also came to the Mihua Department Store, and many pedestrians came in and out with big bags and small bags.Walking into the lobby on the first floor, Tou also looked at the floor plan at the front desk. Mihua's department store has six floors in total, including clothing, jewelry, food, home, video games and other floors. There is even a movie theater on the top floor.
After looking at the floors with gourmet shops, Tou also pressed the elevator. After the elevator door opened, all the customers who came down from the upstairs came out. Tou also walked in and pressed the button for the fourth floor. When it was closed, a female voice "please wait a moment" came from outside, and Touya immediately pressed the open button.
The elevator door was opened again, and I saw two girls rushing in from the outside. After entering the elevator, the door slowly closed. The two girls patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief. There was still a person standing in the elevator, one of them was orange. The girl with short hair immediately thanked Touya.
"Thank you for holding the elevator down for us."
Tou also shook his head and said nothing.
Another girl with a ponytail leaned on the handrail in the elevator and panted, "Ha... ha... Fortunately, I caught up."
"Yeah, otherwise I would have missed today's event at the cake shop." The orange-haired girl said, just when she was about to press the floor she wanted to go to, she saw that the button for the fourth floor was already on.
"Are you going to the fourth floor too?" the orange-haired girl asked.
Touya: "Yes."
Hearing that the ponytail girl standing behind him folded her hands excitedly, "What a coincidence, did you also go to the cake shop on the fourth floor to participate in the dessert buffet?"
Dessert buffet?
Tou also wondered: "What is that?"
"There is a cake shop on the fourth floor that just opened. To promote it, we held this event today. It is said that the first ten customers can eat all the desserts in it for free. If you buy it, you can also give a new cake as a gift. We just heard that I just came here today because of this event!" The ponytail girl explained.
Eat all the desserts for free? ? ?
Touye's eyes lit up when he heard these words, and there was a hint of excitement on his cold face. He took the initiative to ask, "Can you take me to see it?"
"Of course!" The two girls readily agreed.
The elevator reached the fourth floor, and the three came out. They had just exchanged names with each other.The girl with short orange hair is named Kyoko Sasakawa, who lives in Namori Town and has just entered the third year of junior high school this year. The girl with ponytail next to her is her good friend named Haru Miura.The two of them came to the rice flower market during the weekend. It is said that they came here with a few other friends from the school, but those people went to other places and said they had to deal with something, so the two girls came here by themselves. .
"Hey~ Kirishima-kun, you like to eat the macarons from the cake shop at the subway entrance in Tokyo. Xiaoharu and I bought them before, and they taste really good." Kyoko and Miura Haru had already chatted with Touya familiarly. .
"Well, that store's strawberry stuffed macarons taste very good." When talking about his favorite sweets, Tou Ye, who had always been reticent, started talking more now.
"Here it is! That's the one!" Miura Haru pointed to a cake shop at the entrance of the escalator in front, "Ah, there are already people queuing up, Kyoko, let's go too!"
Miura Haru immediately took Kyoko and ran towards the cake shop in front, and he didn't forget to turn around and call Touya behind, "Kijima-kun, hurry up too!"
Tou responded unhurriedly, not in such a hurry as the two girls in front, he followed slowly and stopped after walking a few steps.
Tou also put his hand on the railing at the entrance of the escalator, turned his head slightly, and looked at the corner where they just came out of the elevator, and happened to catch a black shadow that hadn't had time to completely hide.
Squinting his eyes, Toru also clenched his hands slightly. Just now when Kyoko and Miura Haru entered the elevator, Toru also noticed the figure behind the two girls. He thought it was just a coincidence, but the three of them walked out of the elevator together. The figure was still chasing after them, keeping a certain distance from them and following behind unhurriedly.
"Well, yes." Tou also nodded.
"In the previous case of the Aida family, did Kirishima expect that he would be killed by his own son after accepting the commission of Aida Ryuichi?"
Holding the fork paused, Touya raised his eyes strangely and looked at Conan with a serious face, "I am a demon exorcist, not a prophet."
