Conan World: Break Free from Fate and Run to You

Chapter 163 The protagonist's death

"Eh? You?" Conan was surprised.

"Well, the little minions are responsible for the training of the little apprentices, and the adults' affairs are left to the adults to solve." Bai Zhi smiled and said, "If you have any difficulties, you can call me directly. I have the obligation to protect you first."

"Hey, I haven't recognized you as my master yet." Conan felt the soft little hand on his head, feeling helpless: "Besides, I'm already an adult, I just took a shrinking drug."

"I have fought the man in black several times, experienced life and death, and witnessed many murders." Conan was unconvinced: "If we only talk about appearance, you are also very small."

"Haha, even if you've experienced life and death, it doesn't mean you've grown up." Bai Zhi chuckled twice: "Friends leaving, experiencing the trivialities of life, more hair falling off the pillow, more things to think about."

"You have more and more worries, your favorite food has gradually lost its original taste, your favorite show is no longer on, and you feel emotional when you listen to the songs you used to hear. You are forced to become the spiritual pillar of some children..."

"My little despairs grew bigger and bigger, and finally one day when I was lying on the bed, my inner peace dried up my tears, and I finally became an adult."

Conan: "..."

Conan stared at Bai Zhi in a daze, not knowing how to react for a moment.

The first impression that Baizhi gives to many people, including Conan, is that Baizhi is weak and helpless, standing lonely and beautifully like a daffodil, waiting for her own end.

After that, I was more impressed by Baizhi's quirky appearance.

After all, Conan got to know Baizhi through Toru Amuro. Most of the time, when Toru Amuro was around, Baizhi was there, and more often he would see Baizhi acting like a butterfly, acting coquettishly and making funny faces around Toru Amuro.

But now, Conan suddenly smelled a sense of oldness from Baizhi's scent, a kind of vicissitudes washed away by time, and a sense of silence and gentleness polished by memory.

It seems like it doesn't fit in with this world.

“Hello, your blueberry smoothie and strawberry smoothie~”

The waiter's words interrupted the strange atmosphere.

Bai Zhi: “Oh! Oh!”

Two exquisite smoothies were placed on the counter. Bai Zhi's eyes immediately lit up. She immediately took the strawberry smoothie, scooped a big spoonful and put it into her mouth.

“Σ＞―(〃°w°〃)?→Delicious~” Bai Zhi felt that the world was bright.

On this sunny afternoon, who can resist the temptation of a sweet smoothie!

Cool, sweet, and delicious~

"Of course, our strawberry jam is of the best quality." Seeing Baizhi's reaction, the waiter at the counter was also very happy.

"(*/?＼*) Mmm! So delicious!" Bai Zhi took another sip of the smoothie, which was so delicious that she almost twisted into a maggot: "Xiao Ling Xiao Ling! This one is really delicious! You should try it now!"

"Yes, the taste is different." Amuro Toru took a bite, tasted it carefully and evaluated it seriously, and took another cup of blueberry smoothie with him: "You can come again next time."

"?('w')? Yeah yeah yeah!"

Conan: "(?_?)..."

It was too early to express emotion, so he took back all his emotions.

During the meal, Baizhi didn't eat much of the staple food. She just took a few bites casually and then just ate the smoothie silently, almost eating the dessert as a meal.

If it weren't for Toru Amuro's words of advice, Bai Zhi probably wouldn't even have taken those two bites.

"Baizhi, you have to eat well and have a good body. You are too thin and malnourished." Inspector Megure was a little dazed when he saw Baizhi eating two super-sized smoothies by himself.

He couldn't even finish two extra large smoothies in the middle of summer!

Look at Baizhi's loose clothes. Such a loose cloak should make a fat person look thinner, but because the style is too loose, it would make a thin person look a little fat.

But when it hung on Baizhi, it was like clothes hung on a hanger, loose and baggy, making her already thin body look even more fragile, like a vase, and she was really afraid that it would break if touched.

Think about your own body shape, and then look at Angelica dahurica.

Inspector Megure patted his stomach, feeling a little tired.

Those who suffer from drought will die from drought, and those who suffer from waterlogging will die from waterlogging.

"No, I can eat a lot." Bai Zhi smacked her lips contentedly, regretting not buying another one just now: "But it's different now. I'm working hard now, and when I'm working hard, I need to eat more cold and sugary things~"

"But Kimura Uehara is really pitiful." Mao Lilan was unaware of the case. She looked at Kimura Uehara and Baihe behind her and said, "It seems that person is very good at comforting people. Kimura Uehara looked very sad this morning."

Bai Zhi: “?”

Kimura Uehara is the murderer. It's fine if he's unhappy, but why is he sad? Is he sad that he's about to be discovered?

"Tsk, that kid, who cares about him." Maori Kogoro also waved his hand impatiently: "This guy is a suspect, maybe he killed his father?"

In fact, it has been confirmed now, but Kogoro Mori does not want to let Xiaolan know out of selfish motives.

"Anyway, there will be an interrogation later, so we need to think carefully about how to interrogate him." Officer Megure nodded: "He will probably lie, so we need to find a way to get him to tell lies."

A few of them were chatting idly, discussing how to get Kimura Uehara to tell the truth.

But Mao Lilan still held her chin with some confusion, lowered her eyes in thought, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Why did Sister Xiaolan say that?" Conan was the first to notice something unusual about Ran Mouri.

Seeing that everyone around him was discussing other things and no one paid attention to what Mouri Ran said, Conan did not join the discussion but asked about Mouri Ran.

When Conan asked, Bai Zhi also turned her attention to him.

"Well, I was so busy texting with Sonoko this morning that I forgot to press the elevator button. When I realized it, the elevator was already on the basement floor." Mao Lilan looked a little confused: "At that time, it was Kimura Uehara who pressed the elevator button."

Basement level? Isn't that the morgue?

"What is Kimura Uehara doing there?" Conan wondered.

"I asked the same question, and Kimura Uehara said he wanted to see his father one last time." Mao Lilan recalled the scene at that time: "However, he had a strange smell at that time."

"Strange smell?" Bai Zhi also came over: "Is it a burning smell?"

"Eh? How did Baizhi know?" Mao Lilan was a little surprised: "And it seems that there was dust on the edge of his shoes. When he accidentally stepped on me, it left a shoe print."

"Look," Mao Lilan said, holding out her shoes.

There was indeed a mark left by the edge of the shoe on the white sneakers.

Conan immediately bent down, took a little and rubbed it in his hands, then put it to his nose and sniffed it, and his eyes immediately became sharp.

"It's the carbon fishing line." Bai Zhi leaned back in her chair and watched Conan busying himself on the ground. "Then, we can draw a conclusion by comparing the wound on Kimura Uehara's hand with the carbon fishing line, right?"

The evidence is sufficient to make him plead guilty.

By the way, what would Conan do if he didn't have the luck-filled cheat like Mouri Ran? He's already reached a bottleneck, but he still has to come up to give a hint.

As expected of the protagonist.

"Injured?" Conan looked up, a little confused.

"Kimura Uehara's left hand had a scratched finger. He kept half-clenching his hand, and his movements were unnatural. Didn't you notice?"
