Liu Xing led Conan to the door of the bathroom, a little confused whether to step in or not.

If the kid is really in a hurry to urinate and doesn't want to have a private conversation with him, wouldn't it be bad for him to follow in hastily?

He was still struggling, but Conan had already pulled him in, as if he was afraid that Liu Xing would escape, he locked the door behind him and blocked the door.

Liu Xing was a little confused, but quickly realized: "...that... what do you want to tell me?"

Conan pitifully raised his head to stare at Liu Xing, and said sincerely: "Big brother, can you not tell others about what you saw just now?"

"...You shoot anesthesia needles at people, this kind of behavior is quite dangerous!" Liu Xing couldn't help educating the children: "Let's not talk about the side effects of anesthesia on the human body. In the eyes or ears of Mr. Maori, the consequences are unimaginable!"

"...anesthesia?" Conan asked blankly, "What are you talking about?"

"Ah?" Liu Xing was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the watch on Conan's wrist: "Just now, I saw you shoot an anesthetic needle from the watch on your wrist..."

"Hahahaha! Big brother's joke is really interesting!" Conan smiled brightly, "How can I, a primary school student, have such things as anesthesia needles!"

This sentence makes a lot of sense.Liu Xing thought.How can a primary school student come into contact with contraband.

"...But I really saw it! Something shining silver shot out from your watch and hit Mr. Mori Kogoro in the neck—"

"I'm sorry," Conan apologized sheepishly, "I just played a prank and hit Uncle Maori with a slingshot."

Liu Xing: "...???"

Conan took out a self-made slingshot tied with two disposable chopsticks from his pocket. There was also a rubber band used to tie lunch boxes on it.

"I'm sorry," Conan apologized earnestly, "Because Uncle Mao Li was busy solving the case and didn't want to play with me, so I played my temper willfully." The boy kicked the floor, "I... I just wanted to get his attention, I didn't use any force Pull the slingshot."

Liu Xing wanted to believe in Conan.

After all, this reason is more reliable than elementary school students shooting detectives with guns, and it is much more credible.

He had already begun to wonder if his memory had made a mistake—after all, he had focused a lot of his energy on the ghost lamp at that time, and he didn't notice Conan hiding behind the seat until Kogoro Mori suddenly fell into a coma. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Conan's shooting action and the silver light, maybe... maybe it was just the light from the window causing a visual error?

But Liu Xing still had concerns, and asked: "Then... what about your voice changer and those inferences?"

Conan asked naively: "Inference? Voice changer? What is a voice changer?"

Liu Xing choked, staring at Conan's bow tie: "It's... the one hanging around your neck..."

"Bow tie?" Conan untied his bow tie and showed Liu Xing.

It's just an ordinary red tie, and it can't be seen that there is any mechanism hidden in it.

Conan was full of doubts: "How does big brother know that my future dream is to become a detective? I have been reading mystery novels! But I don't know many words!"

Liu Xing looked at the innocent and cute kid Conan, confused: "..."

Could it be that I misunderstood?

Mr. Mori Kogoro was not anesthetized at all, and there is no such thing as elementary school student Li Daitao freezing to solve the case?That's right, after all, this possibility is too unrealistic, like a cartoon...

Thinking of this, Liu Xing felt a little embarrassed. She felt that it was wrong for her to jump to conclusions and misunderstood other children. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood some things... Don't worry, I won't know what happened just now. I said it, but it is also dangerous to shoot rubber bands at others with a slingshot, please be careful?"

Conan happily said "Yes": "Thank you, big brother!"

After speaking, he opened the toilet door: "Big brother, I'm going to find my uncle and the others, see you next time!" Waved his hands and said goodbye to Liu Xing.

"Ah, see you next time..." Liu Xing waved his hands, stood in the bathroom for a while, and then returned to sit beside Ghost Lantern.

Ghost Lantern was reading the newspaper, and casually asked Liu Xing: "What did that brat tell you just now?"

Liu Xing was a little surprised, but still answered honestly: "No, just let me keep some small things secret from him—"

"Let me guess," Ghost Lantern stroked his chin, "What are the secrets of Death God..."

Liu Xing was shocked by the name of the ghost lamp: "It's too unlucky to say that the child is the god of death!"

Ghost Lamp raised his eyebrows slightly, put down the newspaper in his hand, "I thought it was a compliment."

"...The name Death God is not a compliment!" Liu Xing tried to defend Conan, "He looks a bit weird, but he is just a kid who lacks love and wants to attract the attention of his parents. Don't look at him with colored glasses," he said. Emphasizing Conan's age, "How old is he? Judging by his height, he is only about the first grade in elementary school."

"There are not many people in the first grade of primary school who can use meth." Ghost Lantern rubbed his chin, "Let alone play detective games by using a voice changer to imitate other people's voices."

Liu Xing: "..." Huh? ? ?

He asked cautiously: "...Did you see him using a gun?"

Ghost Lantern sneered and didn't answer this question, but it was obvious that he had already confirmed the matter before bringing it up to Liu Xing.

Although the words of Conan and Gui Deng are completely different, in comparison, Liu Xing trusts his boss Gui Deng more.

Liu Xing rubbed his forehead, he couldn't believe that he was being played around by a child, he couldn't help it, and said a little aggrieved: "Cheating people casually is going to hell!"

Ghost Lantern said casually, "Haven't you ever lied?"

Liu Xing was at a loss for words, and said, "Then... that is a special situation... I didn't mean to lie..."

Ghost Lantern glanced at Liu Xing: "Don't get close to that brat, he can summon death and get everyone around him into trouble."

"What do you mean by summoning death?" Liu Xing asked, "Just now you said he was the god of death... It doesn't feel like a good thing."

"Literally," Ghost Lantern habitually tried to put his hands in his hand, and didn't touch the armhole until he remembered that he was wearing a suit today, and put down his hands again, "death and darkness will naturally rush to him... Well, fortunately, he has Ability to solve.” Although the solution is mostly an afterthought, it is impossible to prevent in advance.

"A kid solving a murder case? It sounds terrible." Liu Xing frowned: "And his anesthesia needle is very dangerous, if you use it on people casually—"

"Don't worry," Ghost Lantern rubbed Liu Xing's head, "How can a little detective who upholds justice hurt innocent people."

"What's more, he...has a maturity and responsibility that doesn't match his age." Ghost Lantern's last words were meaningful, and his eyes fell on the newspaper in his hand.

High school student detective Hattori Heiji solves another big case, the newspaper headline reads.

Liu Xing didn't notice this kind of detail, so she felt a little relieved when she heard this, and didn't ask any more questions.

When the train arrived at the next stop, the police asked everyone involved in the case to get off the train, and they were released after they made statements at the police station.

If you get off the train halfway, the train will not wait for them, and the destination you choose will come to naught. Although the police say they are willing to pay for the ticket, the train that passes by the next stop does not leave until after three o'clock in the afternoon. The time wasted in the middle is enough to go Look at the sea and soak in the hot springs.

Liu Xing stared at the name of the site: Hasetsu.

Liu Xing, who grew up in Tokyo and had never traveled far, had only heard about this place in the weather forecast—a small city, and there were no places of interest worth seeing.

But now if I go to Hokkaido according to the original plan, I will arrive too late, not to mention missing the appointment time, and the schedule will become very rushed.

"Change the destination," Ghost Lantern also made a decisive choice: "Let's find a hot spring hotel here."

Although Liu Xing was very disappointed, he could only say yes.

I found a hot spring hotel with a relatively high rating on the Internet. Because summer is the off-season, it was easy to book a room. Liu Xing and Gui Deng took a taxi with their hands in their hands and arrived at the hot spring hotel at exactly one o'clock in the afternoon.

This hot spring hotel named Utopia Katsuo has a very unique architectural style, a typical Japanese-style building, but there are statues of Venus, the goddess of beauty, and clay dolls from African tribes in the flower garden.

This kind of weird mix-and-match decoration made Liu Xing take out his phone to take two photos of the clay doll.

Ghost Lantern touched his chin, as if he was very interested in clay dolls - he has always liked to collect all kinds of strange decorations.

"That statue was brought back by my son when he went abroad, isn't it cute?" The proprietress with round glasses opened the curtain and came out, she looked about 50 years old, she put her round cheeks in one hand, and smiled very Kind and kind, "guest, please come in, the room is ready!"

After finishing speaking, he came over to help Liu Xing carry the luggage.

Liu Xing quickly declined: "It's okay, thank you grandma, I'll just come by myself."

The proprietress was not reluctant, and took the two of them to the counter to confirm the appointment information, register the customer information, and finally shouted: "Yuuri! Come here!"

Liu Xing heard a young man's voice: "Okay - I'll come -"

As soon as the other party finished speaking, Liu Xing saw a young man with black hair and black eyes coming from the hall.

"Yuuri, help take the guests to the room, Room 104." The proprietress entrusted him, and then said to Ghost Lantern and Liu Xing, "This is my son, come to help during the holidays, if you need anything, you can tell him if I'm not here!"

"Hello, both of you." Yuuri also opened his eyes, lowered his head as if he was not used to other people's sights, and picked up Liu Xing and the ghost lamp that were placed at his feet, "Please follow me, both of you."

He is very strong, he holds the suitcases of Liu Xing and Gui Deng with ease, and seems to be able to handle them with ease.

Liu Xing couldn't help but stare at the back of Yuuri who was walking in front.

I always feel... so familiar.

I seem to have seen it somewhere... where is it?
