age is not a problem

"Are you talking about... Asakawa?"

After hearing the conversation between Kyoko and the foreign man, Tsuna kichi frowned unconsciously.That kind of description, whether it's appearance or clothing, should be about Kiyomi Asakawa.

So, did Asakawa meet Kyoko just now?If Asakawa is willing to testify, it will be very beneficial to Kyoko.

However, what made him more concerned was the sentence that the foreign man said just now, "Junior high school student? Are you sure you are a junior high school student?"... What does this sentence mean?

This sounds, in a sense, can be understood as, this man may know Asakawa?

"Mr. Sawada?" Kusakabe asked softly, feeling that the other party seemed to have changed his mind, and he was muttering something just now.

……

Behind the stone pillars in the hall, Qingmei's palms were already sweating.

Although such a thing as a good adult turning into a child is absolutely incredible and nonsense to a normal-thinking person, she also believes that it is impossible for Nicole to think about it all at once.But, no matter what, her relevant information was revealed to Nicole after all, who knows if he will investigate something in depth.

No way, solve this case as soon as possible, and then retreat this morning.

"Then, since the deceased was neither shot nor died two hours ago, what is the cause of Ms. Miyamoto's death..."

Just in time, Officer Takagi asked, and Qingmei took advantage of the situation and continued to explain into the headset:

"Miss Miyamoto drowned."

Over there, after Dr. A Li said this sentence, everyone present exclaimed in amazement.

Qingmei's expression is still calm. As a former member of the Italian special navy, she is very clear about how to kill people in the water and what will happen afterwards:

"There is a small amount of bleeding in the ears of the corpse, and foam can be seen in the nose and mouth. These are the characteristics of drowning. Because water enters from the nose and mouth, it will cause pressure on the ears. If you drown in a hotel swimming pool Besides, according to the previous description, Ms. Miyamoto never came out of the room after returning to the room for a rest at noon. This shows that Ms. Miyamoto should have been drowned by the murderer in the bathtub in the bathroom of the room. Yes. Police officer Takagi, you took the photo when you entered Ms. Miyamoto’s room to search for clues. Look carefully at the picture in the bathroom. The floor is clean, but there are drops of water on the mirror on the wall, which shows that the murderer wanted to avoid It was discovered that the bathroom was cleaned up deliberately, as if no one had showered in it, but only paid attention to the floor, but neglected the mirror on the wall."

Officer Takagi, who suddenly realized, asked eagerly: "So that's the case, then... who is the prisoner?!"

"The prisoner is actually you...Mr. Mizuhara."

Mr. Mizuhara, who had been trying to smooth things over for the sake of the company's consideration, was breaking out in cold sweat, and retorted in a trembling voice:

"By, why doubt me! When you asked me what I have been doing in the past few hours, and even the details about what time and minute, didn't I tell you all!"

"However, this is what exposed you, Mr. Mizuhara. Take a closer look at your watch. Perhaps this series of actions has left you with no time to take care of this. The hands of your watch have long stopped at an hour and fifteen minutes ago The time didn’t move.” Qingmei sneered, just now when she was zooming in on the man’s photo, she noticed something wrong with the hands of the watch, and then thought that the deceased died of drowning, so she locked the prisoner, “The watch is yours. You pressed Ms. Miyamoto into the water in the bathtub, and at the same time you were dealing with Ms. Miyamoto's resistance, it got into the water and broke it. And according to the previous video call out by the police officer, the clothes you are wearing at noon today are not the ones you are wearing now One, if I'm not wrong, you should still have the previous clothes hidden in your room, the clothes that got wet by the splashing water in the bathtub during the confrontation with Miss Miyamoto."

When all the evidence was presented, everyone was silent, and looked at Mr. Suwon in unison, with the same fear of looking at the murderer in their eyes.

"Yes, I did it..."

After a long while, Mr. Mizuhara gave a wry smile, and no longer argued, he admitted what he had done.

"That's right, just like the private rumors in the company, Ayako and I did have an office romance, which violated the company's management regulations. During this period, the company will select one of several department managers to be promoted to vice president, and I am also a candidate One of them. Ah, just like the office struggles that almost all companies have, several other competitors are also desperately looking for my black spot. Of course, they will not let go of the rumors of an office romance. At this time, Miyamoto Ayako This woman... This woman actually took this opportunity to blackmail me! She kept asking for money from me, threatening to reveal all my secrets to my competitors if I didn't give it, and wanted me to be in the circle Completely ruined! So, that's why today I..."

After the ins and outs of all this came to light, the listeners were all stunned.No matter what the reason is, no matter whether the victim himself is guilty or not, it is a human life after all.

"Then why, why did you blame Kyoko!" Tomoko Tanaka couldn't help asking angrily.

If it weren't for the help of this gentleman called "Dr. A Li" by the police, Kyoko would have suffered injustice!

Suwon, who has been handcuffed by the police, has no scruples or worries, and calmly stated: "Because Ayako and your girlfriend don't have a good relationship, I know this, and on the bus here today, Ayako also said something rude to your girlfriend, so there is a reasonable motive for the crime. Sorry, Ms. Sasakawa... Although I know this is useless, and I don't expect your forgiveness, but I still say to you Sorry."

But before Jingzi had time to react and say something, Suyuan had already been taken away by the police.

"I never expected that Mr. Mizuhara, who usually looks so kind and gentle, would do such a thing..." Looking at the person who was taken away, even though she was once used by the other party and even tried to frame her, at this moment, Kyoko still endured I can't help feeling sad and sorry for each other.

Tomoya Tanaka also shook his head helplessly: "Perhaps the so-called complexity of human nature is like this. There is always a dark side in human nature. Once stimulated, there will be regrettable consequences. But, Jingzi, it's okay It's great that you're okay."

……

"Mr. Sawada, where are you... looking?" Kusakabe found that Tsunayoshi's eyes had deviated from the center of the incident at some point, and looked at another place instead.

Following Tsunaki's line of sight, Cao Bi saw a figure hurriedly leaving behind the stone pillar from this angle overlooking the hall on the first floor.

Tsuna just watched quietly as the figure quietly exited the scene without anyone else noticing.

Originally, he was also paying attention to the progress of the case, and the old gentleman who helped the police deduce the murderer was the guardian of Qingmei whom he had met at noon.However, because he paid too much attention, he noticed something was wrong.After the old gentleman finished speaking, he always paused for a few seconds before saying the next sentence, as if someone was commanding from a distance, and the old gentleman just repeated what the person said.

After searching for the suspicious people in the hall, he found Qingmei hiding behind the stone pillar without difficulty from a bird's-eye view.That's right, even though he covered his head with a hat, he still recognized her at a glance, not only because he still remembered the clothes she was wearing today, but also probably because he was already familiar with her figure. .

He knew she was smart, so it didn't bother him that she was able to deduce the truth of the case.What really puzzled him was why she didn't stand up and reason directly, but instead let her guardian speak for her in a corner where no one could see... It seemed like she was avoiding someone.

"A junior high school student? Are you sure, a junior high school student?"

The words of that foreign man resurfaced in her mind again without warning... Could it be that these two people really knew each other, and she was avoiding that foreign man?

"Senior Kusakabe..." Tsunaki, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, and gestured to Nicole who was about to get up and leave in the hall on the next floor, "That man, help me investigate his situation."

"Okay, I see." Although it is not clear what Tsunayoshi is for, Cao Bi will still carry out the task assigned.

"Let's go, prepare for a meeting with the De Luca family."

……

"Unfortunately, this plan has failed, and King Vongola X did not show up...how to put it, either he was too calm and rational, or that woman didn't hold that much weight in his heart...but no matter what No matter which one it is, I have to say one thing, I am worthy of being the godfather of your mafia world."

In an empty corner, Nicole talked to the person on the other end of the phone after making sure that no one was listening.

But after the person on the other end said something, Nicole sneered:

"Hey, hey, I'm not that crazy yet, and I'm not a murderer either. After finding out that the man named Suwon had killed someone and intended to blame the woman named Jingzi, I just secretly helped him It's just a little bit cleaner... and by the way, let those children 'just happen' to knock over the cargo box on the cart when the cart with the corpse is passing through the public, so that this incident can alarm everyone in the hotel , launched an investigation under the watchful eyes of the hotel owner.”

After a moment of silence, the slightly hoarse voice on the other end of the phone came again: "Hmph, in order to catch one mafia, and cooperate with another mafia, is it really okay for you to do this?"

Listening to the ironic words, Nicole didn't feel annoyed at all, and still had an expression of indifference:

"My task is to arrest the tenth generation of Pengelie. As long as no means that violate human ethics are used, it doesn't matter what method is used to achieve it? And you are also targeting Pengelie tenth. Since we have the same Interests, what’s the point of reaching a cooperation based on the same interests, Mr. De Luca? I think, now we should proceed to the next step according to what we said before.”

After finishing the call, Nicole pouted and murmured disdainfully, "Oh, old fox, don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

But having said that, although the previous plan failed, there are still other unexpected gains... Nicole smiled meaningfully.

……

Outside the hotel, in another remote corner——

"It seems that it is the fourth possibility analyzed before."

After receiving the call from Conan and hearing the results of his investigation, although it was a bit despicable to think so... Kiyomi was still greatly relieved,

...Fortunately, he didn't come to find her or Haibara.

"Ah, they're here to assassinate a man named 'De Luca,' and Gin has brought Chianti and Cohen with him, apparently to snipe."

After hearing what Conan said, Qingmei yawned lazily: "Oh, the two of them? That's okay. Except for killing their own people, those two guys don't seem to have any merits."

"Hey! Can you be more serious!" Conan wanted to vomit blood, how could this person be so leisurely joking at such a critical moment, his heart is too big!However, when facing the black organization, it would be nice if Huiyuan had half her mentality, "That 'De Luca', did you hear anything when you were in the organization?"

"I don't know. And 'De Luca' is a very common surname in Italy. If you call it casually on the streets of Italy, the rate of return will definitely be high." Qingmei said that she could not help this, and said helplessly after thinking about it : "If it were me, I would run as fast as I can while the organization doesn't notice the three of us who have taken the rejuvenating drug... But I know you definitely don't want to, so you must do your best Can you save the 'De Luca' who was targeted, right? In your opinion, no matter how evil people are, the one who judges them should be the law, not others."

I don't know the reason for killing people, but there is no reason for saving people... I remember that rainy night, she ran away in a hurry and finally came to Mihua Town with all her strength, and then passed out in front of Dr. Ali's house.After waking up, it was the first time she had direct contact with this detective boy. At that time, there was still zero trust between her and him.When she asked him why he saved her even though he was still not sure whether she was an enemy or a friend, he answered her like this.

Really, he looks like a plague god with a message of death, but he has a heart like a holy father... But he just can't make her hate him, is this the so-called charm of a big boss?

"Don't worry, I'll stop those two bastard snipers, you just need to protect Huiyuan and the others... I'm not a virgin, I've never had that kind of thing before, I just want to return your favor, that's all. Thank you for always taking care of me.”

And, this is also the agreement between her and Belmode.

Belmod will hide her affairs for her, and she will help Belmod protect "anl" and "silver bullet".

She just fulfilled the agreement by the way.

……

The author has something to say:

"I don't know why there is a reason to kill people, but there is no reason to save people." This sentence Shinichi said to Belmode in the New York incident chapter, it can be regarded as a famous saying of Mr. Washing Machine.

In response to the explosion of the comment area in the previous chapter, I think I should write something, which can be regarded as a unified reply after summarizing your various opinions. ps. In the comment area of ​​the last chapter, I really realized what it means to say that comments are more exciting than articles 333~

First, let’s talk about the relationship between Kyoko and 27.In the original book, there is no doubt that 27 in junior high school likes Kyoko, and it is more profound in the manga. For example, in the first chapter of the manga, 27 said that he didn’t want to go to school when he was so useless that his life was hopeless. He still insisted on coming to school because he could see Kyoko, which was the only motivation to support him.In the beginning, the 27 couple Kyoko should be the kind of dias' longing for the campus goddess, liking but not deep love, and more seeing Kyoko as a dream of their own.And then, as the plot unfolded, after 27 got in touch with Kyoko a little bit, I think 27 really fell in love with the real Kyoko, not the "campus goddess".From the beginning to the end of 27, he wore the amulet that Kyoko made for him, and regarded him as comfort, encouragement and motivation before going to the battlefield. It can be seen that Kyoko has a weight in his heart and is unique.However, this kind of teenage affection is not entirely love, and there are also companionship, longing, etc. mixed in it, but it is the fusion of so many emotions that makes 27 pairs of Kyoko undoubtedly like it, otherwise it would be No, at the finale of the manga, the person who confessed "with the determination to die" is still Kyoko, without hesitation.So I think, after that, when 27 has not been deeply involved in the real mafia world, it is basically logical for him and Kyoko to be together, and although Amano Niang did not clearly indicate the official match in the original work, it is not difficult to see There is a tendency to do so.Li Baoen once said that "Kyoko is very suitable to be Mrs. Peng Lie Judaimu", it is obvious that Amano is expressing her point of view through the mouth of Li Baoen, but I am sorry that I cannot agree with it.I have always felt that Amano Musume created a mafia that was too idealized and whitewashed, and to some extent showed them as the embodiment of justice.But everyone knows that the real mafia is not like that, and the Pengelie family can still stand at the top of the mafia after a hundred years, the darkness behind it is self-evident.As for Kyoko, she has no ability to protect herself, leaving aside the fact that the rules of survival in the mafia world are obviously not acceptable to a simple, kind and ordinary girl like her, and she is not suitable for this world.Or you can let Kyoko live in Japan isolated from the mafia world like Iemitsu did to Nana, and then 27 visits her occasionally, but I think this is even worse, it’s another kind of sadness, and 27 definitely doesn’t want future children I had a childhood that lacked paternal love just like myself. I also expressed my disapproval of Jiaguang’s approach in my other fan article "The Comprehensive Family Has a Waste of Wood".Therefore, I think it is natural for 27 and Jingzi to be together, and it is inevitable to break up in the end.

Let’s talk about the role of Sasakawa Kyoko again. Many relatives don’t like her. I think it’s not that I don’t like her, but that I don’t feel it.This character is indeed very beautiful, she is undoubtedly a good girl, but Amano Niang's portrayal is too one-sided, as if all the beautiful attributes such as innocence, kindness, gentleness and so on are superimposed on her and it's over, the character image is not three-dimensional, full.And, the experience of this character and the impression it presents are too bland.I think the biggest difference between Qingmei in my writing and her is "stimulation". Qingmei is a very "stimulating" person. We are all in three dimensions looking at them in Two-dimensional.But if placed in the three-dimensional world, I think girls like Kyoko will be more popular and have more friends.

Finally, let’s talk about 27’s behavior and state of mind in the previous chapter.From the behavior point of view, if 27 left in the last chapter without hesitation, then it is not the 27 we know, the 27 who will do everything to protect his companions, the 27 who brings us countless feelings.As far as the state of mind is concerned, although the previous article did not make it clear, the hint should be more obvious. The reason why 27 and Kyoko broke up was not because they had no relationship, but as I said before, they are already people from different worlds. , Breaking up is helpless, but it is also inevitable. 27 currently has a good impression of Qingmei, but that's all, even from the perspective of an "elder", if he puts everything aside and asks himself who he likes more, there is no doubt that he still prefers Jingzi at present.If it is so easy to say that all the feelings of the past are gone, then I think it is another kind of ruthlessness, even ruthlessness towards life. For this reason, I also found out another fan I wrote "Teaching time in the family" The heroine’s attitude towards the hero’s first love in You”—“If you tell me that you have completely forgotten about her, you can treat her as a stranger when you see her...then On the contrary, I will be very disappointed. Because such a man... is too fickle, not only for love, but also for life. The word I hate the most is 'forgetting', especially 'deliberately forgetting'... experienced Whether it’s happy, sad, happy or painful, it’s an irreplaceable precious time in life.”

So, don't forget that 27 is already a mature adult who will cherish the past but will not indulge in the past. No matter what regrets there are in the past, life must always be lived, life must always look forward, and the sun will always rise again.

As for some friends who feel that Qingmei is at a disadvantage...haha~ Do you think she is a person who will suffer~ As for the saying "If you fall in love first, you lose, so Qingmei must not fall in love with 27 first", please don't forget Qingmei's people Suppose, she is not a woman with a love brain, let alone an innocent little girl who has never been involved in emotional issues. She also has a complicated past.But like 27, she is also a truly mature adult, she knows what she should do and what she wants, and she will use her reason and emotion to face everything in life.
