Chapter 180 Promise
Robert was still leaning against the wall, motionless, as if he hadn't noticed anyone approaching.

"Tell me about her." The visitor said.

Robert didn't react at all, and the people standing next to him didn't show any impatience. The two of them just fell silent in this quiet atmosphere, and the surrounding darkness seemed to overwhelm everything.

After an unknown amount of time, Robert's voice sounded slowly.

"Three years ago, when I came here to take pictures by chance, I accidentally encountered a rock collapse, just like today's."

"It was just that time I was unfortunately buried in sand and gravel, but I was lucky enough to meet Meisha. The hospital was overcrowded and there was no spare bed for me. Meisha took me home to take care of me after treatment."

"At that time, because my mouth was completely scratched by gravel, I couldn't speak normally at all, so the two of us could only communicate with difficulty in Roman characters on paper."

Speaking of this, he couldn't hold back his tears, and kept murmuring that he should have known, should have known, we had been communicating in Roman characters at that time...

Tears flowed for a long time, and he channeled his emotions together, and he finally calmed down a little.

"Later, I started to be able to speak, so I often joked with Misa, Sae, and Emi, saying that I was the prince of a small country, and I would take Misa to my castle to see."

"At that time, I was thinking, if there is a princess in the castle, she must look like Meisha..."

"At that time, Meisha also smiled very cooperatively and said yes, saying that she was looking forward to the feeling of living in the castle. If there is a chance, she can plant a large field of lavender behind the castle. That scene must be very beautiful..."

"Then try hard."

"What?" Robert didn't quite understand what the other party meant.

"Princes probably don't stand a chance, but a castle with lavender like that is possible, right?"

Robert shook his head.

"No, I am indeed a prince. Although it is only a small unknown country, I am still a prince who is not qualified to inherit the throne. On the contrary, the castle is more difficult."

"Although I have the blood of the so-called royal family, in fact, my economic level is very ordinary, and it is very difficult to own a castle of my own."

"The reason why I became an American citizen is also because I lost the qualification to inherit the throne, and staying there will only be an eyesore."

"Anyway, my ambition is not to be a king, especially in this era..."

Robert shook his head again, but the meaning was completely different from before.

"..."

The other party was silent. What kind of medieval background is this?
"Difficult, not impossible, isn't it? Then do it and see. Although it's just a joke, it's also a promise to her."

Robert was taken aback.

"Well...that's right...this is my promise to her...the last promise..."

He muttered for a long time, then raised his head and said, "I will try my best to fulfill this promise, thank you..."

"I thought you'd hate me for telling you the truth."

"This truth is indeed cruel, but it is true...Even if you don't tell me, I will always live in resentment towards the Takeda family..." Robert shook his head slowly.

"It's good that you don't regret it."

After finishing speaking, the other party turned and left, and Robert was the only one left in the dark warehouse.

……

The next day.

Robert was taken away by the police in Tottori Prefecture. Although he looked very haggard after not sleeping all night, his mood has calmed down a lot.

Everyone gathered in the courtyard and watched him leave.

Takeda Yuzo was also taken away together. As Takeda Shinichi's assistant, although he claimed to have no knowledge of what his elder brother did, he still had to be investigated.

"Mom, why did Robert follow the police?"

The two sisters, Sae and Emi, already knew that they had misunderstood Robert three years ago, and now seeing him being taken away by the police, they couldn't help but worry about him.

"The murderer is obviously the spider fairy. The two of us saw it. Before we went to take a bath, a long spider silk stretched out from the transom of the warehouse!"

The two little girls clenched their fists and tried hard to prove it.

"That's..." Hattori Heiji tried to explain, but was interrupted by the old lady Takeda Chie.

"Okay, it's indeed the Spider Fairy's fault. Robert just went to cooperate with the investigation. Now that he's back, you should rest assured that he didn't abandon Meisha."

"Well, that's true." The two sisters nodded, "Grandma, we still want to hear your story."

"Okay, then I'll talk about the white rabbit in Inaba."

"Huh? But we've heard this before."

The twin sisters helped the old lady back to the room slowly.

"Sure enough, ginger is still old and hot." Conan said with emotion.

Then a pair of big hands pressed on Conan's head, and rubbed his head vigorously, and Conan screamed again and again.

"Ah sneeze!"

Hattori Heiji sneezed, so he had to let go of Conan temporarily, and the latter quickly hid behind Mao Lilan, hugged her leg, and looked at him gloatingly.

"Pingji, do you have a cold?" Yuan Shan and Ye frowned and asked.

"Ah, it rained yesterday, but you seem to be fine?"

"Uh...Yesterday, Xiaolan and Yuanzi dried my hair and changed my clothes in time, so nothing happened." Thinking of what happened last night, Yuan Shan and Ye blushed a little, even if they were girls, they couldn't help it. It's too much.

"I think idiots don't catch colds, right?" Hattori Heiji blew his nose, looked at her and said.

"What did you say? You just called me an idiot?" Yuan Shan and Ye raised their fists.

"Who knows, I'm just talking about a bad woman who cheated on my feelings, it's too much."

"You bastard...why do you say such things in front of so many people? Are you a fool?" Yuan Shanhe Ye blushed and stomped their feet.

When she turned around, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were watching with smiles on their faces.

"You wait for me, and I'll tell Aunt Jinghua when I get back, and let her supervise you to finish the bet properly." Yuan Shan and Ye said through gritted teeth.

"A bad woman, a bad woman who deceived my feelings." Hattori Heiji was unmoved.

The veins on Yuan Shan's and Ye's foreheads bulged, and the two immediately quarreled.

"Aquan, is Robert okay? I think he looks very haggard, maybe he can't think about it, and then..." Suzuki Sonoko approached Gu Shuiquan again, and asked worriedly.

"I don't know either." Gu Shuiquan shook his head slightly, "However, apart from being unable to contemplate and impulsively committing suicide for a while, it is never difficulties and pain that can completely defeat a person, but rather not being able to feel the joy of living at all, and completely negating meaning of existence."

"I think, since he didn't choose to commit suicide last night, he shouldn't be impulsive anymore. As for the future...he still has things to do now, and promises to fulfill, so he shouldn't commit suicide so easily gone."

"A promise to keep?"

"Ah."

"What is it?"

"Don't tell you."

"Huh? So cunning, aren't you deliberately teasing me?"

"Speaking of promises, I just remembered that you still have a promise to me that needs to be fulfilled."

"..."

Suzuki Sonoko's face froze, and he quickly ran behind Mao Lilan and hugged her arm to hide.

Mao Lilan looked at Conan who was holding her leg on the left, and looked at Sonoko Suzuki who was holding her arm on the right, smiling.
