Conan’s World Stand-in

Chapter 50: play, start

That night, the village office.

"Knock knock knock knock..."

"Well, Mimi chanting coax..."

The monk who specially came from Tokyo to preside over the ritual was beating the wooden fish like a timer. The hall of the village hall, which was temporarily converted into a mourning hall, was filled with the smell of incense sticks and the Buddhist scriptures recited by the monk. A more dreary atmosphere.

The people who came to attend the ceremony were basically the family members, friends of the former village chief, Turtle Island, and other prominent figures on the island. This Moon Shadow Island itself is not big, and the residents on it are more or less related to relatives and friends, so it is not surprising that anyone appears here. It's just that this is the two-year anniversary ceremony after all, and there are not too many people here, there are only a dozen people in total.

The only people who can be considered outsiders are probably Kogoro Maori and Guan Dounan. They were sitting in a lounge next to the corridor outside the hall at this time, waiting boredly for the end of the ritual.

"At times like this, I often feel that time is passing very slowly. Coupled with the Buddhist scriptures... yawning, I feel a little sleepy. It would be great if I had playing cards." Kogoro Mouri yawned and took a cigarette. By the way, I glanced at my watch, the time is now 7 o'clock in the evening, and the ritual will not end until at least 9 o'clock. There are no TVs or magazines in this lounge, so it's really boring to sit and wait.

"Dad, you've been sleeping too much recently, it's not good for your health. And after all, you're doing things outside, so you can't play cards." Xiao Lan reminded helplessly.

"Yeah, at this time, it doesn't feel right to want to play anything." Kamdai Kei pushed his glasses, and now only he and Gao Chengyan are left here, Taizhong Kaixiang and Fujikatsu Kaori are all sent by him. to other parts of the island.

Although there is a risk of placing orders in separate operations, from another perspective, this is to prevent all eggs from being broken into one basket.

"I'm here."

The door of the lounge opened, Conan walked in, looked at the few people sitting inside, and said hello.

"You guys are still coming back here. I thought you had been run off by that guy for a long time." Kogoro Mouri took a breath and squinted at Conan.

"Hey, after all, this island is still very primitive. After dark, there is basically nowhere to go. We are afraid of encountering ghosts, sea monsters, etc., so we came here." Conan edited it. A very suitable reason for his age, hehe smiled.

"Hehe, if you want to talk about ghosts, things are going on here. By the way, where's Xiaoguan? Isn't he with you?" Kamidai Kei narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Conan, he knew this seemingly ordinary child , In fact, he is also a genius boy with "super intelligence", and he seems to have a good relationship with Guan Dounan.

Now that Conan has come over by himself, did something happen to Guan Dounan?

"Yeah, but grandpa, think about it, if there is already a ghost here, the other ghosts can't do anything. By the way, brother Guan Dounan, now in the lobby, he said that Uncle Kogoro has been smoking, so he doesn't want to. Come in." Conan found a vacant seat and sat down and said something that sounded okay, but this sentence changed to another meaning in Kashiro Kei's ears.

"There are capable people here, so Guan Dounan stayed in the lobby outside to monitor if anything happened."

"Hey, this guy, cough, cough..." Kogoro Mori seemed to be choking on his own cigarette, and his face turned red all of a sudden. He was about to say something, but saw Kei Kamdai stand up.

"Um... Having said that, I also want to go out and get some air. Oh, Detective Maori, don't worry about it, it's just that people are getting old and sitting for too long, so they want to move."

"Ah, no, no, I didn't think much about it..."

Kamdai Kei opened the door and went out, walked to the lobby lightly, and easily found Guan Dounan standing in the corner of the door, like a statue, and the latter naturally noticed his arrival.

"How is it?" Koujiro asked in a low voice.

"What is certain is that there is a capable person who may choose to carry out 'revenge' tonight..." Guan Dounan, who was dressed in black and wearing sunglasses, looked like a cold agent in the TV series, and reported to Kamidai Kei, "However, I tried to persuade him, and I haven't seen him come here now. I hope he can give up the idea of ​​revenge."

"Several key figures who came to the ceremony have not left for the time being. If there are people who left alone, I will find a way to keep up with their whereabouts."

"Well, it's good. I'll go outside the village mansion to have a look." Kamdai Kei nodded, patted Guan Dounan on the shoulder, and prepared to go outside to take a look.

He took a few steps and came to the gate of the village mansion, reached out and turned the door handle, but did not turn it.

"Huh? This..."

Kandai Kei frowned, and tried in a different direction from various angles, but the ordinary door handle seemed to be integrated with the door at this time, and it didn't move at all.

"Why is this window closed, why can't it be opened..."

At the same time, Mouri Kogoro, who was ashamed to cut off his cigarette **** and wanted to open the window to ventilate, was trying to face the window of the lounge. It just doesn't move, as if it was welded to the window frame.

"Is the lock rusted because it's been too long?" Xiaolan asked.

"No, this kind of ordinary two-way open-door window, if it's a lock, it's the latch at the bottom of the window sash..." Kogoro Mouri flipped the latch under the sash, and it was easy to move, there was no such thing at all. Signs of rusting, "Could it be that something is stuck outside?"

"I'll take a look." Gao Chengyan stood up, came to the window, looked out the window through the glass, there should be nothing blocking him, he pressed his hands on a window, stepped on his horse, and suddenly let out force.

There was a squeezing sound from the wooden frame of the window, which was slightly deformed, but still did not open.

"Did I get dazzled just now?" Mouri Kogoro rubbed his eyes, "Just now, this window and this wall seemed to be bent for a while..."

"There seems to be a problem here~www.wuxiahere.com~ Kamdai Kei returned to Guan Dounan and whispered to him, "The doors and windows cannot be opened without physical blockade. The doors of the lobby and the windows of the corridor are all closed. It is so. "

"Door and window?" Guan Dounan turned his head and found that he seemed to have missed a key question. I was here waiting for Makoto Asai to come, or to track down those who had left alone, but I never thought that Makoto Asai might not need to come to the village mansion here. Now that he is a stand-in messenger, it is entirely possible for him to do it outside. own plan of revenge.

"I was negligent, I want to know, [Where is Makoto Asai who lost his trace now]." Guan Dounan immediately turned to the corner, took out a coin as a form, summoned Xiao Hei, and activated his ACT1 ability.

Xiao Hei appeared enthusiastically, threw himself into Guan Dounan's arms, and disappeared. And the picture information corresponding to the question also appeared in his mind.

[Asai Makoto sits on the roof of the village mansion, looking up at the sky, the night wind blows the ends of his hair. 】

[He said this, his hands suddenly raised, and he waved in the air, making the appearance of playing the piano. 】

[Play, start. 】
