Chapter 120 Seven:
Kanako Watanabe took them to a small bookstore, which was dilapidated from the inside to the outside.The owner of the bookstore is an old man.He was sitting there reading a book with his reading glasses on.The door was open, but no one was there, not even outside the door.
The elderly may be old.Feeling less sharp.So many people came in at once, he didn't even notice.It wasn't until Miss Watanabe called him several times that he slowly raised his head, "It's Kanako!"
Ayumi took the initiative to run up to say hello to the old store manager.Only then did the old store manager notice that Kanako brought several people this time.Without seeming to think about it, he said to them, "All the books are on the shelf."
The books here are not extensive.It's basically things like monsters and ghost stories.A few children from the Detective Boys randomly found a few albums and read them with gusto.Only Huiyuan was looking for plain text books with no pictures.
"You remind me of someone." The old store manager said with a nostalgic smile on his face after seeing the book selected by Ito Sakuki. "It's really strange. You and that person obviously look different."
"What kind of person?" Ito Sakuzuki asked casually.This old man... is very interesting.
The old man didn't know if he heard it, but he continued on his own. "That was a long time ago. I can't remember how many years have passed. She was probably as old as you are now, right? She would come here to read every day."
"She persisted like this for four years. When I was used to having such a guest, she suddenly stopped coming. After that, she never appeared again." He shook his head and sighed, " I don't know how she lived afterwards?"
"Speaking of which, she should be most similar to you, these books related to 'Abe Seimei'?" The old man thought for a while and said with a smile: "She is most interested in these. I heard her say later, Her surname is Abe. She is a descendant of Seimei."
Ito also used the surname 'Abe'.The corners of Conan's mouth twitched, and his eyes turned into half-moon eyes.Hello!It can't be such a coincidence, can it?he thinks.He looked down at the exact same book he was holding.Does Ito have anything to do with this person?
"Abe Seimei's descendants!" Conan suddenly expressed a little exaggeration.His expression was as if he adored that person so much.He said, "Grandpa, what's her name? It would be great if I could see her."
The old store manager didn't answer his question, he looked at the kid in front of him, his expression became a little strange.Then he showed a kind smile and said, "Little friend, children of your age can't understand this kind of book."
"No!" Just when the old store manager was about to introduce him a similar and easier-to-understand book, Conan said with a little naivety and a serious expression. "This book is very interesting!"
There are few pictures in this book, and there are many more complicated texts.This is not something that children in the first grade of elementary school can recognize.What's more, this is a book formed thousands of years ago, and the text inside uses very complicated ancient prose.
"Conan-kun is very smart!" Ito Sakuzuki actually took the initiative to help him out.She didn't mind Conan reading the book.
Conan hurriedly nodded, and the old store manager became emotional. "Are the children now so powerful? I haven't left here for a long time. I can't keep up with the times." Usually, there are no children here.
"It's him who is different." Ito Sakuzuki's tone was a bit unpredictable.The old store manager nodded knowingly.
After paying the bill, including Conan and the books selected by the Boy Detective Team, Ito Sakuzuki paid for them.Just when they were about to leave, the old store manager said to them again: "You are welcome...you can come here anytime."
"I will." Several children ran away happily, only Sakuzuki Ito turned back and gave him an affirmative answer.
On the way back, Yuantai asked Conan's book curiously, but he just opened it, and then looked at the text in it that he could hardly recognize a few words, he said it was boring, and threw it back to the book. Conan.
Yuantai's move actually attracted the attention of the other two children.Ayumi said that Conan is really amazing.These are all understandable.This made Yuantai's child mutter a little dissatisfied.But I don't know what to mutter.
Conan also asked about the books they chose. Both Ayumi and Motota chose full pictures, and Ayumi's painting style is more cute.And Mitsuhiko is a picture book of monsters with a little introduction.Only Huiyuan's is a very complicated record of supernatural events.
After returning, they all watched with gusto.Only Ito Sakuzuki, who first brought up the matter, put the book aside as soon as she got home.This is just an excuse for her to go to Mihua Bookstore, and she can memorize every word here.
"Thank you!" The old man beside Shui Shuying said seriously when he passed by her.
Grandpa disappeared all of a sudden.Ito Sakuzuki stopped, looking at the direction where the old grandfather disappeared, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.This time it was all due to some little detective who had done nothing.
Back at Dr. Ali's house, Huiyuan Ai began to read the new book seriously.Beitang Ya happened to see it.This made her very curious, why would such a powerful scientist look at something that is completely contrary to science?
Are you really a child?There was tenderness in her expression.She remembered that her real age was not too old.
Hui Yuanai looked up and saw her who was a little confused.She explained without much concern: "These things may not be useful."
Beitang Ya has never seen a monster.Like many people before her, she didn't even believe those things existed.But it was just a sentence, and she suddenly had a strange idea.Her guess just now was not correct.How strange.
The next day, Mao Lilan was going to Kudo's house to clean up.Conan also had to follow.Mr. Okiya Subaru happened to be at home, and Mao Lilan gave Conan to Mr. Subaru's care.She happily took the broom and cleaned up alone.
Conan looked at Mao Lilan's back with gentle eyes.He even missed Okiya Subaru's knowing expression again.
The two people present are the main characters of the red side.When Mao Lilan walked away, Okiya Subaru told Conan that the matter he had asked him to help investigate had come to fruition. "There was indeed a shootout on the island of the dead the other day."
"The scene was already dealt with when we found it." Okiya Subaru squinted his eyes and said briefly, "However, according to the available evidence, the organization met with a certain black market dealer that day. That person brought seventy or eighty I went alone."
"The person sent by the organization is Mr. Xianggu?" Conan said, frowning involuntarily.
Mr. Jiang Gu... I'm really not used to this name.Okiya Subaru sighed deeply in his heart, and then added: "There is also gin. Sake is also there." In that operation, the black organization brought a lot of low-level personnel, which allowed the FBI, which had lost its undercover agent, to start from They got some information there.
"That girl is really amazing." Some smiles flashed in Okiya Subaru's eyes.There are some playful expressions on the face. "Bourbon didn't even make a move. The black market dealer and the guards he brought were solved by her and Gin."
Ito?It turned out that she was also on the island at that time.Conan asked: "Have you found out the purpose of the organization?"
This is the most concerning thing.Unfortunately, they have no source of intelligence.Okiya Subaru frowned involuntarily, as if after thinking for a while, he said: "Now I only know what the organization originally wanted to trade with that black market merchant."
The businessman has a wide range of businesses, including guns and ammunition, reselling of cultural relics, and intelligence gathering.Nobody knew what kind of business they were in for. People from the FBI had quietly asked the people around him, but they were also kept in the dark.
This is also impossible.It is impossible to say that there is no disappointment.But Conan still expressed his understanding.It's pretty much what he expected.When the black organization does this kind of thing, they never leave any evidence.
Damn it!If only he had found out sooner.Conan kid has some regrets and self-blame.
The FBI is still investigating.Okiya Subaru made such a statement.Recently they have enough manpower to investigate slowly.
"Have you sent someone new?" From America.Conan grasped the point at once.He asked curiously.The FBI in Japan only has this team commanded by Mr. James.These people coming to investigate this matter can never be regarded as sufficient manpower.
"One of my seniors was sent back. Not long ago." Okiya Subaru was not surprised that he guessed the situation correctly.He said, "He's a magician. He's been in Japan for a while. He's back this time for another case. But..."
"You have encountered it too!" Okiya Subaru narrowed his eyes and 'looked' at Conan, his speech speed was a bit slow, "His targets are monsters. I don't know the details. I only know that they are us Things that normal investigators can't handle."
More than encountered.The corner of Conan's mouth couldn't help twitching.He has encountered too many.Especially with Ito and Kidd.He nodded silently.Then he said that he might be able to help if needed.
What kind of monster is the FBI investigating.Conan didn't know.But in his view, it doesn't make much difference which one, each of them is endangering human life.He wished he could stop them.For this he is willing to do his best.
