Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

Chapter 677 You are so round

Things seemed to be getting serious.

Yun Xianhe rubbed his chin:

"That's already intimidation, right? So you just did it."

"Well, this person seems to know that Mr. Kudo and I often quarrel, and he said that faking suicide is also a better arrangement for me."

Ah, it turns out there was a conflict between the person who almost took the blame and the victim.

But, disguising it as suicide is a good plan... a plan to wait for being caught?

"quarrel?"

Conan's focus is obviously different from the hero's.

When asked, Agoukawa Funae said haltingly:

"For example, he was picky about my cooking... Mr. Kudo is usually very picky about food. He also often complains about this and that with his colleagues."

He doesn't seem to be an easy person to get along with.

"Well, did you see anything?"

Hattori, who had come over at some point, suddenly asked.

Yun Xianhe spread his hands helplessly:

"Let's not talk about the fact that the scene has been destroyed. I don't know any other details about this case. I don't even have time to make up the scene, right?"

Hearing this, Hattori smiled awkwardly:

"That's right."

I originally planned to come here to find out the situation, but I didn't expect that the person would be gone before I even started.

Inspector Megure responded to the call as quickly as ever.

However, when he saw that there was not only Yun Xianhe, but also Hattori Heiji and Conan, he couldn't help but reveal a half-moon eye expression:

"It's you three again."

Brother Maori is not here, but can the case be caused by just the three of them?

Hearing this, Yun Xianhe spread his hands:

"Officer Megure, you can't blame me this time. I was just accompanying you along the way."

Megure Jusan obviously didn't listen.

The police began to inspect the scene, and the person involved, Abutakawa Funae, was taken aside and questioned again about what happened.

The restless detectives came over again and even dragged along the brave man who had no intention of listening.

"Didn't the murderer identify himself?"

"Hey, he claims to be a vengeful spirit..."

"Grudge, grudge spirit?"

Takagi, who was in charge of taking notes, hesitated for a moment.

Yun Xianhe became interested after hearing this.

Officer Megure looked at the first suspect in front of him and asked in a serious tone:

"Is that really who the person on the phone is claiming to be?"

Perhaps because all the secrets had already been told, Abutakawa Funae spoke much more fluently at this moment than when he was questioned by Hattori and others just now.

“Yes, yes. After he said this, he hung up the phone.”

"Then do you have any clues? For example, who did the deceased Mr. Kudo have a grudge against?"

"Is such that…"

Before Abutakawa Funae could finish his words, Hattori took over the conversation:

"In fact, the victim was the adopted child of the chairman of the Inubushi Group who passed away five years ago. He has been terribly scared recently. It seems that a bad guy has infiltrated the Inubushi family and used the cursed demon dog to try to make the Inubushi family extinct."

This is why they came here today.

But obviously, such a ridiculous reason could not convince Inspector Megure, and Takagi beside him was shocked:

"Demon dog?!"

Inspector Megure complained with his half-moon eyes:

"It feels a bit like a mystery novel..."

"Yeah, there seems to be a similar story in Sherlock Holmes, right?"

"Hey? Is it the Inugami family?"

Two people who had completely misremembered the situation spoke one sentence at a time.

Yun Xianhe saw Conan's helpless expression and rubbed his head with amusement.

【Big brother, close your eyes. 】

'Um? '

[The punishment has ended, and vision is being restored. ]

Before the system's mechanical broadcast sounded, Yun Xianhe felt a sharp pain in his temple.

113's quick eyes and hands lowered the sensitivity to pain, but it was still a little slow.

Conan could feel the hand on his head suddenly tighten.

For a moment, the little detective felt that his head was going to be twisted off by the other party, so he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from shouting.

While he was trying to escape by grabbing Yun Xianhe's wrist, he turned back to look at him:

"Brother Xianhe? What's wrong?"

"It's okay, hiss - my eyes hurt just for a moment."

snap,

A drop of bright red liquid flowed out from between the pale fingers and landed on the floor in front of Conan's toes.

"Brother Xianhe?!"

For Yun Xianhe, who had been in darkness for a long time, the dazzling white light that suddenly descended was like a bomb.

The sharp pain was accompanied by continuous tinnitus.

Perhaps because he was still running a low-grade fever, Yun Xianhe felt that his brain had been shaken into a mess in an instant, making him feel nauseous uncontrollably.

But soon, this uncomfortable reaction dissipated little by little along with the blocked pain.

Yun Xianhe covered his eyes with one hand to relax for a long time before he dared to let go of his hand. He frowned slightly and kept blinking to adapt to the current brightness.

The vision went from blurry to clear.

After a moment of redness, it was quickly washed away.

Yun Xianhe frowned slightly when he felt piles of useless clues starting to flood into his mind, and then slowly relaxed his brows.

He turned off the electronic sticker by raising his hand to adjust his glasses.

【Are you okay, big guy? 】

'fine. ’

"Brother Xianhe, what's wrong with you?! Are your eyes uncomfortable?!"

“Bleeding?!”

The worried voices of friends rang in my ears.

Yun Xianhe lowered his head and looked towards Conan.

When I saw that round face full of worry, I immediately smiled brightly:

"Conan, you're so round."

"……what?"

Hattori, who was taking out a handkerchief from his pocket, didn't know how to start.

After hearing Yun Xianhe's words, he directly covered the other person's eyebrows with an unfolded handkerchief and complained:

"Now is not the time to talk about this! Your eyes are bleeding, don't you know that?"

"..."

People who have pushed their pain shield to the extreme really don’t know.

Just now I was just thinking that I could see it, and didn't pay attention to the tears or anything else that was flowing.

"Hattori, um..."

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"Um, be gentle, your eyeballs are going to be gouged out."

Hearing this, Hattori quickly relaxed his strength.

Yun Xianhe took the handkerchief and wiped his cheek roughly.

The bright red color stuck to the other person's white eyelashes, adding a sense of danger to the pair of heterochromatic eyes.

The hero, who was happy about having his eyesight restored, had no idea how scary he looked to others.

Just as Inspector Megure and the others were about to give a warning, the other party showed a bright smile:

"It's totally fine. It seems like I was hurt because I was thinking too much just now?"

"..."

Very good, any dangerous feeling is neutralized by this smile.

Conan, who was standing by, covered his aching head, laughed dryly and said:

"I can probably relate to how painful that is."

In a sense, I can empathize with you.
