[Conan Doujin] The Mystery of Theseus

Puzzle30 answered yes.

Pay the bill, get up from the table, push open the door of the store and go out, the ornaments hanging on the door collide with crisp bells, which is no different from what you hear when you enter the store.

Details like this are in my memory, and I will encounter many, many more in my future life.So it doesn't matter if you don't have to remember it.

Unlock the screen, click on the address book, select a contact, write a text message or email and click "Send" to send it-similar routines happen almost every day.

At what point did these everyday events, which could happen to anyone, begin to take on special meaning.

"Want to meet" among friends, it is naturally impossible to be [-]% on call like takeaway.But even if there is some inconvenience due to geographical distance and personal factors, it is not like going to a high-level department to go through a series of complicated procedures such as appointment confirmation to meet the conditions for meeting.

Why bother?

Is the degree of "friends" not enough?

Obviously you just need to say, we will help you.Edogawa thought that this level of attitude showed enough sincerity.But Kuroba's reaction was as if he had heard some joke, and he didn't seriously consider the possibility.

Until they left the coffee shop, neither of them said a word about the discussion that seemed too heavy.

"If I said..." Edogawa didn't think about the plan after the meeting that day.When wandering around the nearby commercial street after leaving the coffee shop, he just spoke without any plan. "What if I say... I want to help you get Pandora?"

"Huh?" He was asked nonchalantly on the road, if it was Kuroba, he might not be able to match his radio waves at this moment.

"I mean, I will help you get Pandora." Initiating a topic without thinking is the first step, and how to proceed the topic is the next thing to think about. Perfect and impeccable plan?"

A plan with the help of detectives, that sounds tempting enough.

"Huh? No way," and Hei Yu didn't weigh the pros and cons at all, so he easily threw out a resolute refusal, "I dare say it's unimaginable, you wouldn't do such a thing, wouldn't you, a famous detective?"

"Uh, I mean if..."

"And ah," Hei Yu shook his index finger, "Don't say 'every time', if you really want to become my criminal consultant, just be a good person and find out where Pandora is. How about a hit?" He closed his eyes Raise one side of your eyes, "The risk of my actions is much less."

"Make the perfect plan every time" and "make a plan that is only once but never miss", which of the two is less risky, Edogawa himself can't decide.

"In the final analysis," Kuroba put away his half-joking emotions, and put down his hands, "would you do that?"

The answer that flashed in my mind for the first time may not change much after careful consideration.

"...I don't think so."

"I think so too." Putting his hands behind his head, Kuroba looked nonchalantly at the sky cut by buildings and viaducts, "Besides, I don't want anyone to dictate my actions."

The blueprint planned by others, even if it is accurate to the smallest details, cannot be comprehensive enough to cover all possible branches of challenges that may be encountered.And the plan drawn up by myself, even if it is just a draft of a ghost painting talisman, will inspire better inspiration and action power - after all, the process of consuming mental effort to understand is omitted.

Ah, sure enough...Edogawa laughed.

The bond of association is one-way. The idea of ​​"wanting to help you" will be easily cut off if the other party refuses to accept help.

What's more, just thinking about it is definitely not enough.

"Are you sure? The only way I can help you is to contact a reliable lawyer I know and testify in court so that I can win your defense."

"Although it sounds like that...but detective, isn't that premised on my arrest?"

"Hahaha just kidding."

"...It's not funny at all, hey."

Sure enough... it would be easier to treat it with a joking attitude.

I don't know what I have missed, and I don't know what I will miss in the future.At this time, it can only be a joke.

The night wind was blowing, and the visual area of ​​the full moon was unbelievably large.The strange thief faced the gemstone to the moonlight, and the finely divided red light shone on his face.

The little detective squatted on one side and tilted his head to watch, trying to see some clues from the red light...

Such a development would not exist.

In the earphones were the detective's quiet instructions, and with the help of a god, the strange thief easily bypassed the police's eyeliner.He mocked the detective's cautiousness through the tiny microphone, and then the other party cut off the communication angrily, leaving him to fend for himself in that isolated island-like safe area...

Such a development would not exist either.

The flames dyed the deep purple sky red, and the rising mist swept the air with suffocating heat.They narrowly escaped from the dead and stared at the black marks on each other's faces for a moment, and finally they all laughed heartily under the light of the fire...

Will such a development exist?

Although the script has not been fully opened, some possibilities were destined from the beginning not to appear on the pages after that.Even so, the incomplete world after thousands of possibilities have been deleted is still extremely vast.

Kuroba Kaito continued to move forward at that unhurried pace.To say that it is not urgent or slow is nothing more than being entangled in all kinds of indifferent events.Whether it is a small trouble or a big crisis, the world always seems to prevent him from going too fast and from touching the truth.

Whenever he tried to do something to get closer to what he was looking for, reality would just in time prepare the events that lay ahead.Sometimes one or two detectives will be arranged to obstruct in every possible way, and sometimes he will encounter a big crisis where his identity is almost completely revealed, but nothing happens in the end; The rest is not so boring that it bubbles up, and it can also be said to be irrelevant daily life.In addition to adding a few more montage shots to the memory flashbacks that may be used in the future, these daily routines may not have much seasoning for chewing and aftertaste.

Over time, Kuroba resigned himself to his fate and thought that this was how his life should be.There is no way to speed up the pace, because I am still too far away from the end point.

Sometimes, if you pay too much attention to how you walk, you will not be able to move forward.

He decided to stop thinking about it.

He reports to school every day in a law-abiding manner, makes trouble in class in a law-abiding manner, thinks about the next action in a law-abiding manner, and occasionally replaces the unsuspecting detective when he is admitted wrong, sending smiles and kisses to fans Souvenir.

In the future, if Ms. Lan finds out that a detective is promiscuous outside like this, he will have a chance of being beaten up.He was so smirking in his heart.

Until one day, when he was chatting happily with a detective fan girl from a nearby school, a hand patted his shoulder from behind.

"... Kudo Shinichi?"

"yes--?"

Answering the other party in a brisk tone, the moment Kuroba turned around and saw the man's face clearly, the friendly smile froze on his face.
