Chapter Sixty-Four—The Strange Beginning of the Seven Emperors
By the time the sun had risen a little, Chiba had already walked into the campus of Teedan Elementary School - today Chiba was going to determine a question, that is, whether Conan was really the owner of the Kudo Mansion, Kudo Shinichi.
If he's not mistaken, Conan's diary of the praise he received is still posted in the school hallway. If you can write down the handwriting on it and compare it with Kudo Shinichi's handwriting, you can determine whether there is a relationship between the two. Even if there is no way to compare the handwriting, you can look at Conan's diary to find some inferred breakthroughs. (Fingerprints are too difficult to test for Chiba without professional equipment.) As for genetic testing, the world's first national gene bank was established in the United Kingdom in 1995, so no one in the world has Kudo Shinichi's genes. )
"I think it was at the main entrance on the first floor... Qian Yu muttered and walked into the school building - Conan's transformation was very exquisite, so like many sixth-grade students' paintings, it was hung in a place that could be seen as soon as he entered the door.
"Ahhh Just as Xena and the others found Conan's drawing and were about to go up to record the characteristics of the handwriting, the little girl's scream startled Chiba.
It's only less than seven o'clock, and there should be nearly an hour left before I get to school. If there are teachers here, then there may be some more professional teachers, but children...
Pulling the umbrella out of the side of the backpack, Chiba walked to the place where the sound came from. Where the sound comes from ... It seems to be over there in the art classroom?
When Chiwa walked to the hallway where the health room was located, she saw a girl who looked like she was about a first-year girl slumped in front of the door of the art classroom. "Classmate, what's wrong?"
"Portraits..." The girl just repeated. "Portraits are looking at me..."
Portrait? Chiba raised an eyebrow. Someone in there?
"Is there anyone in there?" Qian Yu asked, holding up the Traceless Umbrella, ready to rush in.
After taking a deep breath, Thousand Feathers ran and slid into the classroom—there was no one inside.
"Is there anyone in here?" After carefully examining it, Chiba returned to the girl speechlessly and asked.
"Portraits for art class... The girl choked up with tears on her face. "They're all looking at me QAQ"
Plaster statues? The corners of Chiha's mouth twitched. If anyone is going to paint plaster statues, the eight plaster statues must be exactly the same point... If you happen to be standing in that place, they don't look at you and that's hell ...
"It's okay," Chiba changed her kind gaze and knelt down in front of the girl. "I'll take you back to your classroom, okay?"
"Can you take me to Uncle Janitor, QAQ," the girl whimpered.
Yes ... For children, the janitor should be the ultimate force in the school... Then send her over first.
。。。
When Chiba took the girl's hand and came to the guard's room, the doorman did not open the door, and when he put his ear to the door, he could hear a faint snoring.
"How can there be such an irresponsible doorman... Qian Yu looked helpless. "What the hell is going on in this school...
"Chiba-san?" In the direction of the school gate, a familiar voice was heard. I saw Ayumi looking at Chiba with a look of loss. "What are you doing here? Why do you hold Kiriko's hand? ”
"Kiriko..." Qian Yu raised an eyebrow and replied. "I just walked into the school building and found that she was scared by the plaster statue in the art classroom, so I took her to the doorman, but the doorman didn't wake up yet, and I couldn't get in with the door locked...
"So, let me accompany Kiriko-san, right?" Ayumi walked up to Chiba and grabbed Kiriko's other hand. "Chiba, you go and do what you should do~"
“。。。” Chiba subconsciously let go of Kiriko's hand, and then realized his reason for doing so - from Ayumi's tone just now, he extracted the resentment component.
Walking back to the teaching building, Qian Yu pondered.
This little girl seems to be dissatisfied with what she is pulling her on... Is the current little girl so precocious?
Wrong... Just like when he first joined the juvenile detective group before, when he saw Yuantai's attitude of "seeing money", he did things that were different from the requirements of secular morality without thinking. Are these actions natural from birth, or are they polluted by the people they come into contact with after birth?
In short, human nature is inherently good? Human nature is evil?
Then again, the Far Eastern Republic next door seems to have had a similar dispute over the inherent goodness and evil of human nature... If I am not mistaken, there is a conflict between the most traditional "Confucian" school in the Far East and the school called "Legalism", which was popular more than 2,000 years ago. Qianyu's own words are relatively more inclined to the Legalist doctrine.
In the field of vision, the root of the wall suddenly appeared, and Qian Yu realized that he had walked into the main entrance of the teaching building, and Conan's painting was in front of him.
Chiba threw all these thoughts away and began to record the handwriting characteristics of the diary on the wall.
In terms of grammar, Conan's mastery of writing is excellent in terms of the small number of katakana used (commonly found in the localization of loanwords, onomatopoeia, academic names of biominerals, pre-World War II documents, telegrams before August '88, and hiragana letters), the lack of flaws, and the length of the text that is much longer than that of a sixth-grader; The use of quite difficult allusions shows that his knowledge reserve is also sufficient; At the end of the diary, there are very deep feelings, and it can be seen that the mental age is far beyond that of ordinary students; In terms of specific content, I don't want to run accounts like first-grade elementary school students, nor do I want sixth-grade students to mainly narrate facts and sublimate them at the end. Instead, it is directly introduced into thinking by things, and a large amount of thoughts are written.
Terrible minds ... If when he first met him, he displayed an extraordinary mind that made Chiba feel easy to get along with, now, he only feels the worry of the unknown.
Conan Edogawa, are you Shinichi Kudo?
"Chiba-san?" A surprised voice came from the stairs on the side - this voice came from the homeroom teacher of Chiba's 1st year B class, Teacher Sumiko Kobayashi. "Why did you come so early?"
"Ahh Qian Yu glanced at Sumiko Kobayashi, who was obviously tired, and quickly replied. "I came to the school early to familiarize myself with the school environment."
"I see," Sumiko Kobayashi squeezed out a smile. "Children should pay attention to their bodies, waking up so early will affect their development! Teacher goes first, goodbye! ”
"Goodbye, teacher." After saying hello, Chiba watched Sumiko Kobayashi leave the school building.
What is Sumiko Kobayashi doing here? Especially considering the tiredness on her face, it was obviously not that she didn't wake up, but that there was no one at all. What's going on?
