Conan Moslin

In the early days of the Internet, open forums and chat rooms became increasingly popular, and people began to tentatively search for topics of conversation in the emerging forums.

A few inconspicuous messages quietly emerged from the corner of a forum called "Teaser" and appeared accurately in the sight of those who were interested.

It was quickly captured by reporters, and after being verified as true or false, it quickly turned into beautiful and eye-catching news in newspapers.

By the time some people really discover it, they can no longer control it.

People were enthusiastically discussing the diplomat's actions before his death, criticizing and celebrating without restraint, and with the instigation of those in the dark, an extremely dangerous storm of public opinion was brewing.

The person who pushed this public opinion storm to a peak was a prosecutor named Shigeo Haruyama.

He had more precise and detailed evidence of Tsujimura Isao's crimes, and completely wiped out Tsujimura Isao's reputation after his death, uprooting him and causing widespread grief.

This evidence comes from Masako Katsuragi, or rather, Kimie.

At the same time, the imprisonment incident that was buried in the torrent of time 20 years ago was also dug up, and the name "Shancheng" inadvertently became known again - in a way he did not want.

What is different is that in these fragmented stories in the news, several surnames that have nothing to do with the case are naturally hidden.

This was the greatest protection Kenji Yamashiro gave to his wife and daughter fifteen years ago.

In addition to these, it takes time for journalists to explore the truth and for prosecutors to verify and prepare evidence.

therefore--

Before the tide of public opinion arrived, Takayoshi Tsujimura resigned from his job as a trainee judge a few days in advance.

In fact, neither his conscience nor the stain from his father would allow him to continue this job.

He knew very well that Masako Katsuragi had directed all the blame on his father, but had let him and his grandfather off the hook and given him and his grandfather some buffer time, just because of Sachiko.

After knowing everything that Aunt Masako had done, Katsuragi Sachiko only left a short message on Takayama's phone and was then called back to school by her tutor.

She devoted herself to academic research in the laboratory, leaving the changing world behind.

As for that message...

[We'll talk about this later.]

This is not a cold war, but as a matter of fact, for two people whose parents were enemies, no love can clear all obstacles, nor can there be any loyalty and reckless commitment to each other until death.

The gap between the two people may slowly heal in the future, or it may separate the two people completely.

For both of them—

Only the passage of time will prove everything.

——This is the end of another story.

……

Let's turn our attention back to our lovely washing machine.

Kudo Shinichi still couldn't resist the baptism of time. Not long after the diplomat case was over, he hid in the bathroom and turned back into Conan like magic.

The smoke bombs used for character transitions were kindly provided by magician Kuroba Kuriyasu, and there are three of them in total.

One is pinned to the inside of his collar, and two are attached to the surface of the buttons on his cuffs. They will burst if they are subjected to strong impact or heat.

As for when it was released...

Of course, it was when Kudo Shinichi pulled her aside and asked her all sorts of questions.

When he saw Conan appear again, the expression on Ran Mouri's face made him terrified.

But Conan was not thinking about this at the moment. He was standing on a stool and tiptoeing to take a bottle of red-label white wine wrapped in red cloth from Kogoro Mouri's wine cabinet.

The time he had to transform back into Kudo Shinichi was limited last time, so Conan had no intention of becoming bigger with a bottle of wine.

If it takes a little longer...he might consider it.

He had just taken the bottle and put it into his backpack when a voice came from behind him.

"Conan, what are you doing here?"

"Ah, Sister Xiaolan..."

Conan paused as he closed his bag.

Ran Mao Li seemed not to have noticed the opened wine cabinet. She put one hand behind her back and pointed out the window with the other.

"Your friends are here to see you."

Ran Mao Li watched Conan leave and listened to the children's laughter coming from downstairs without saying anything.

She just quietly put the movie poster in her hand back into the room——

Then he took the karate training clothes from the closet and returned to school.

……

The library is a good place.

In the popular science section on the fourth floor of the Beika Library, Jun Aso hummed an unknown tune in his heart, took out "Appreciation of Famous Liquors" from the bookshelf, and pushed another "Sake Guide" back to its original place.

She also had a few other books in her arms that she needed recently.

Next to this book are popular science books such as "Appreciation of Wine Flavor" and "Fruit Wine Brewing".

Aso Jun is quite fast at finding books and can scan the entire bookshelf in one or two minutes.

But what she wanted to find, oh no, was the book about liquor that Sister Li An asked her to find, but she still couldn't find it until the library was about to close.

At this time, security guards were already patrolling everywhere and starting to drive people away to prevent anyone from being locked in the museum and unable to leave.

Most of the people on the fourth floor have left.

"Go look for it in the imported books section? It would be better to ask the administrator directly...it might be faster."

Aso Jun looked around again and found that the book he was looking for was still not there, so he pushed the book in his hand back with a grumble, intending to race against time to find the library administrator to ask, maybe he could get the book before closing.

Snapped.

It was the sound of books falling.

Judging from the sound, it seems that she pushed the book too far when putting it down?

No...that's not right.

Aso Jun took out the book again. She stared at the white layer in the middle of the bookshelf for a while, then walked through the bookshelves to the aisle and saw a book lying on the ground opposite the bookcase where she had just been.

Just as she was about to go in, she saw an old man in a library uniform coming from the other side. He was holding a box with "Ancient Chinese" written on it. He picked up the book and put it back before she did.

As if sensing her gaze, the old man who had put the book away turned around and gave her a polite smile.

"Be careful when you put the books away."

"I'm sorry." Asou Jun nodded humbly, "Are you the librarian here?"

The old man has a shallow mole at the corner of his right eye, and the two nasolabial folds from the wing of his nose to the corner of his mouth are very deep. The arc of his squinting eyes and the smile at the corner of his mouth make people feel very uncomfortable.

"I'm Jinchuan, the curator here. It's almost closing time, aren't you going home?"

Aso Jun readily changed the address and slapped his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Hello, Director. I was so engrossed in reading that I forgot the time... I'm leaving now!"

She laughed and tried to leave with the book, but was stopped immediately.

"Wait a moment." Director Jinchuan still had a friendly smile on his face, "Do you want to borrow these books?"

Aso Jun immediately shook his head: "I can come later, so as not to delay your get off work."

"While the computer system is still on, I can take you to register so you don't have to make another trip later."

Aso Jun thanked him but still refused his kindness.

"Okay." Director Jinchuan seemed a little regretful. He thought for a moment and continued, "You can put these books on the table at the front desk, and the staff on night duty will put them back."

"……it is good."

Watching Jun Aso walking towards the front desk as he said, Hideji Tsukawa walked around the bookshelf and came to the place where Jun Aso had just walked.

He took out the book "Appreciation of Famous Wines", and the white pages inside were still in their original place.

It wasn't until he looked down at the white powder scattered on the red carpet that the expression on his face darkened.

The library is a good place -

But Rice Flower Library is clearly not that.
