Chapter 599 The Mysterious Man
Chapter 1469 The mysterious man
And in this way, after hearing Conan say that this was "a very weird, very incomprehensible, incredible thing", everyone in the Young Detective Team and Mr. Kobayashi looked very curious, looking at Conan expectantly, waiting. following his explanation.
However, in this regard, Xiao Ai looked at the faint, nostalgic smile on Conan's face, which seemed to be because it was a very memorable thing. Knowing that Conan was Shinichi, Xiao Ai couldn't help but sigh, and had to Listen to the story of their childhood sweethearts when they were still in elementary school——
"That happened exactly ten years ago..."
After calculating the time, Conan slowly began to tell...
…
Ten years ago, under the night of Mihua Town, on a street with few pedestrians going to Didan Primary School, two small figures were walking one after another under the illumination of street lights.
Walking in front was a cool-looking little boy, with his hands in his pants pockets and walking forward quickly.
Behind him, a little girl of the same age as him was hesitant, chasing the little boy. It seemed that the girl still felt a little bad about their behavior at this time——
"Shinichi, I think it's better to forget it!"
Finally, after walking almost half the distance, the girl finally felt more scared and ran forward to the boy and said:
"It's already so late."
"So I told you to go back!"
In this regard, when the little girl said this with some anxiety, the boy walking in front responded ruthlessly and said:
"If you are caught sneaking out, you will definitely be taught a lesson by your parents."
The boy with seemingly indifferent eyes said this, but he still looked a little worried about the girl:
"I'll just go and find out the true identity of that thing by myself."
"But if I let you go alone, I'm worried that you will be eaten by some ghost."
The girl said worriedly as she continued to follow the boy forward.
As a result, the boy who heard this frowned slightly, stopped, turned around and said to the girl:
"Fool! What kind of ghost is there in this world!"
But when the girl faced such a reaction, although she was a little uneasy, she still said:
"But Sonoko heard someone say that it would appear in the library on full moon nights. It is the ghost that makes creepy sounds and wears a strange hat."
As she said this, the girl acted very frightened.
"Hmph, today is the day of the full moon, so it's quite interesting!"
Hearing this, the boy looked at the full moon in the sky and said with a very proud expression. Then he turned around and ran quickly in the direction of Didan Primary School——
"S-Shinichi!"
At this time, seeing the boy's reaction, the fact that he was getting further and further away from her, and seeing that there was no one else around, the brave girl called out the boy's name, and finally had to chase after him...
…
"Oh! Sister Xiaolan has such an enviable relationship with the high school detective Kudo Shin when they were young!"
At this time, back to reality, after listening to Conan narrating the cause of the incident, Mitsuhiko couldn't help but sigh with envy when he heard that the two protagonists of this story were Maori Ran and Kudo Shinichi.
"In order to help Sister Xiaolan solve the mystery of the haunting in the library, I personally came to investigate the truth at night... How romantic!"
At the same time, Ayumi lamented the relationship between them.
"This is exactly the same as our young detective team!"
As for Genta, it seemed that the direct investigation in order to solve the mystery was the same as what the young detective team would do now, and he couldn't help but make such a comment.
But in response, Xiao Ai chuckled lightly, looked at Conan, and said with a somewhat teasing expression:
"Really? I think this is simply the naughty behavior of a self-righteous elementary school student. He sneaks out at night with a girl of his own age without fear of anything happening."
In this way, facing Xiao Ai's words, Conan only felt very depressed——
This guy is simply accusing himself in front of him!
"Too."
After hearing this, Teacher Xiao Lin also nodded slightly, confirming Xiao Ai's view:
"Although the other party is now the famous high school detective, it is really not good to do such dangerous behavior when he is in the first grade of elementary school."
As he said this, Teacher Xiao Lin looked at the group of children in front of him and immediately advised with a serious expression:
"You can't learn this kind of thing!"
In this way, with Teacher Kobayashi's advice, several people who had listened to the story with great interest were suddenly disappointed, but then, Mitsuhiko immediately asked Conan:
"So Conan, what will the ladies and sisters encounter next?"
As he said this, he guided the topic as far back as possible.
So, Conan calmed down and thought about the memory of that year. Now that I think about it, it still feels pretty good, so he continued:
"Later, because brother Xinyi had opened a window lock in the corridor on the first floor of the school in advance when school was over, brother Xinyi and sister Xiaolan successfully entered the teaching building..."
"Huh? Hasn't this been discovered? I remember the security guard would patrol after school?"
Hearing this, Teacher Xiaolin was a little surprised.
In this regard, Conan explained:
"Because the security guard patrolled very casually and often drank, so he didn't find any windows open at all."
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Teacher Xiao Lin looked slightly solemn, and then murmured:
"It seems that we need to suggest to the school to strengthen school safety inspections after school..."
It seems that from the teacher's standpoint, Teacher Xiaolin focused here, which inevitably dampened everyone's interest in listening to the story.
At this point, after realizing this, Teacher Xiaolin smiled awkwardly, because he was also more concerned about the development of the story, so he didn't mention anything more and let Conan continue.
So Conan continued:
"Because the security guard was drunk that day and patrolled casually, brother Xinyi and sister Xiaolan successfully entered the library and started checking. As a result, brother Xinyi found out because the curtain hook in one part of the library was loose. , causing the shadow formed by the moonlight to look like a ghost wearing a hat..."
"what the hell."
As a result, after hearing this, Yuantai immediately lost interest. The story that he thought was quite interesting suddenly turned into something to coax a child. He couldn't help but say:
"It's not a ghost? It's really boring."
"Conan, is that all?"
Mitsuhiko then asked.
In response, Conan's expression became sharp and he smiled lightly:
"of course not……
"'Are you sure? Don't you think you know what the whole book is about just because you read the prologue at the beginning of the story? This world is more profound than you think, and many things cannot be explained.'
"Just when Brother Shinichi thought there was nothing there, that mysterious figure appeared just like this, saying something like this..."
