But soon, Karasuma Ying's next words made her relax.
"It's a foreign woman I met about ten years ago."
"Ten years ago? A foreign woman?" Haibara Ai asked curiously.
Although she herself is a little mixed-race, this mixed-race gene is rarely reflected in her appearance, and almost no one would think that she is a foreigner based on her appearance.
"Well, it was at my father's funeral..."
Wu Wanying put the book on her lap and raised her head, as if she was reminiscing, with a hint of sadness in her expression.
"It's not that my memory is that good, but that foreign woman is really strange. My father's other friends all have sad expressions, but she is the only one with a gloomy face and an ugly expression, as if she is very angry...
Because it was very strange, I subconsciously remembered her face. Come to think of it, that foreign woman does look a lot like you, Xiao Ai.
The only difference is that her hair is golden, while yours is brown."
"There are many people in the world who look alike. There's nothing special about it." After hearing what Karasuma Ying said, Huihara Ai replied casually.
She changed her position in bed so that she could watch TV more comfortably.
"That's true. After all, they just look alike." Wu Wanying nodded in agreement. She just mentioned it casually and lowered her head to continue looking at the book in her hand.
For a moment, the room fell silent again. Neither of them spoke anymore. Only the enthusiastic voice of the host on TV could be heard.
But Haibara Ai couldn't help but secretly look at Karasuma Ying next to her again.
There was one thing she didn't say, it wasn't just Karasuma Ying who thought she looked like someone else.
In fact, she also had a familiar feeling when looking at Karasuma Ying.
But this familiarity does not come from appearance, but from temperament, the temperament of Karasuma Ying.
This familiar feeling was particularly obvious when I saw Karasuma Ying sitting there reading quietly.
Her aura overlapped with someone in Hui Yuan Ai's memory.
This was clearly the first time they met...
"what happened?"
Perhaps her gaze was too obvious and was noticed by Karasuma Ying. She put the book down again and looked at Haibara Ai with a smile.
"Nothing..." Avoiding her sight, Haibara Ai subconsciously turned over and faced away from her.
[He is a shy child...]
With a helpless look, Wu Wanying stood up and said:
"I don't know if Xiaolan and the others have finished eating. I'll go down and bring some food up for Xiaoai."
"No, I'm not hungry."
"It's okay, I..."
Halfway through her words, Wu Wanying suddenly froze. Because she was facing the window when she stood up, she subconsciously looked out.
And this glance just happened to make her see an incredible scene.
It seemed that a murder had occurred on the pitch-black beach. The police, Xiaolan and his companions, as well as Mr. Shimojo Noboru and others whom they met during the day, were all gathered there.
"What's wrong?" Noticing something unusual, Huibara Ai looked up and asked.
"Something seems to have happened down there." Looking at Conan standing on the beach from afar, Karasuma Ying narrowed her eyes slightly.
Upon hearing this, Haibara Ai got out of bed, leaned over to the window and looked out. She immediately understood what was going on and was speechless.
[That guy, he really gets into trouble wherever he goes...]
Looking at Conan running around and observing on the beach, Haibara Ai felt a little worried.
Suddenly she thought of something, turned to look at Karasuma Ying, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
"Sister Xiaoying, there seems to be a murder down there, aren't you going to help?"
Wu Wanying heard this and touched her head with a smile, "No need, the police have already arrived, and Sister Xiaoying won't be able to help much."
"That's not necessarily true. After all, Sister Xiaoying, you are recognized by the police as a 'super high school level female detective'!"
"Huh?" Faced with Haibara Ai's flattery, Karasuma Ying was stunned for a moment.
"I saw it in the police newspaper. It was about the disciple of the Great Detective Mori, Miss Karasuma Ying, who was capable of challenging that famous high school detective."
Listening to Haibara Ai's series of flattery, Karasuma Ying looked somewhat helpless and embarrassed.
"It's only been a few days, why did they give me so many titles..."
"Detective sister Xiaoying, let's go down and take a look together?" Huibara Ai struck while the iron was hot and suggested again.
She hopes to coax Karasuma Ying to help. The reason is simple because of Edogawa Conan's special status.
To be honest, she really doesn't understand how the brain circuit of a certain reasoning fanatic works?
Doesn't that guy really realize how special his current identity is?
Showing up so blatantly and helping the police so openly, isn't he worried at all that the organization will find out that Kudo Shinichi is still alive?
Huibara Ai was helpless.
Fortunately, Karasuma Ying is here. Thinking about it, for this outstanding female detective who suddenly appeared recently, solving ordinary cases like the following should not be a problem...
"You can't just look at a murder scene casually."
Karasuma Ying said helplessly. Although she said that, she still agreed to Huihara Ai's request and took her out of the room.
Never mind. Anyway, there will be more opportunities for her to observe Conan in the future. Since this kid is so insistent on going down, let's take her down to take a look...
At this time, Conan on the beach has gradually understood the truth after integrating various clues left at the scene.
Coincidentally, he encountered another murder case today.
He was the uncle Aramaki who had met Mao Li Ran and the others in the morning.
This uncle had originally made an appointment with Mr. Noboru Shimojo and others to discuss matters at the Dongfenglou Hotel at eight o'clock tonight, but they never came.
Mr. Xia Tiaoye and his friends, who were getting impatient waiting, took turns calling Uncle Huangjuan to say hello.
Then something strange happened. Uncle Aramaki's phone was connected, but no one spoke. The only sound of waves could be heard on the phone.
So, worried that something might have happened, Mr. Shimojo Noboru and his friends returned along the same route from Uncle Aramaki's home to the hotel to look for Uncle Aramaki.
Then, on the beach, the body of Uncle Araki was found covered by a fishing net.
At this point, the murder occurred.
Conan, who was already familiar with all of this, began to collect clues at the scene more skillfully than the police. After careful reasoning, he finally confirmed the murderer's identity and method of committing the crime.
Now, it’s time to announce the most critical step of the prisoner.
With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Conan subconsciously reached for the watch on his wrist which contained the anesthetic needle.
Since uncle is not here this time, I can only ask you for help... Sonoko.
Eh? Watch?
Conan was stunned for a moment when he didn't touch the watch. Then he remembered that when he went to play in the water today, he seemed to have put the watch in the room...
Well, it was a small surprise. Even without the watch, he still had his bow-tie voice changer.
Thinking of this, Conan's mouth corners raised again and he reached into his trouser pocket.
But then, I can't use Yuanzi anymore... It doesn't matter, the doctor is here today anyway, I can just use the voice changer to cooperate with the doctor...
Oh? Where's my voice changer?
There was nothing in his trouser pocket, Conan then remembered.
Ah, yes, when he went into the water in the morning, the voice changer and the watch were placed in the room together...
There's really nothing I can do. I can't just reason with such a child's body, right?
So, is that the end of it?
No, he still has other means!
The corners of his mouth rose for the third time, Conan took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
"Hey~ Sister Xiaoying~ There's a murder on the beach~ I'm so scared~ Can you come over quickly~"
Look, I'm calling for help!
Chapter 58 Coward
It's a new day and Judy is drinking coffee in a cafe.
She was wearing a somewhat conspicuous sun hat and holding a book in her hand. She sat in the corner and read slowly.
With Scotland's escape from fake death, the organization's internal cleansing during this period also came to a temporary end.
Mamiya Shinya has resumed contact with the FBI, and today is the meeting day she and Mamiya had agreed upon.
Of course, it was a private meeting.
Judy flipped through the book with a smile on her face, but she gradually became nervous inside.
Because the time they had agreed to meet had long passed, but Jian Gong Xin had not shown up yet.
Although there is some suspicion of showing off their love, her boyfriend is indeed a person with a strong sense of time and never breaks the time she sets.
Even if there were special circumstances, Mamiya would notify her in advance, instead of passing the agreed time without any warning like today.
What happened?
Pretending to remain calm, Judy glanced at her cell phone on the table.
Come to think of it, ever since Mamiya came to the undercover organization in Japan, she almost never took the initiative to call Mamiya again, and at most she just confirmed his safety through text messages.
She was really afraid. She was afraid that one day in the future, after she made a phone call, she would hear someone else's voice.
Judy had dreamed of this scene countless times. When she called, it was Reger's voice that came on the phone.
And every time, she would wake up from her dream the next moment.
She is indeed a coward.
The more she felt that Mamiya might be in danger, the more she dared to hide quietly in a corner with her head in her arms, praying repeatedly in her heart.
