Chapter 369 - Say goodbye to the world, just to continue the frontier
At eleven fifteen, Kosuke Mizutani put his hands in his pockets and quietly looked at the sky.
"Unfortunately, it's cloudy today." A childish voice came from behind him.
“?” Kosuke Mizutani turned his head with a puzzled, but not particularly surprised, expression and looked at the owner of the voice. "Kid, are you?"
"Detective Mori Kogoro's assistant," Conan said politely. "My name is Conan Edogawa."
"A Maori detective's assistant?" The corners of Kosuke Mizutani's mouth were slightly hooked. "So, did you come to me for something?"
"Because I think it's a shame that you're dying here," Conan said seriously as he looked into Kosuke Mizutani's eyes. "Don't you think so, Mr. Mizutani?"
The strange look of "......" only appeared on Kosuke Mizutani's face for a moment, and the indifferent look almost immediately reappeared in front of Conan. Sure enough, my way of acting is still too easy to speculate? ”
"Probably." Conan shrugged. "After all, Mr. Ryuzaki, the sixth deceased, gave a hint like 'Tanabata, Kyo', and if you look up a little, it is not particularly difficult to find out that there was a fire in Kyoto that day. If you investigate the situation at the hotel, it is not difficult to deduce that this case is related to Miss Nanako Motogami. ”
"Detective Maori really lives up to his reputation," Kosuke Mizutani said with a faint smile on his face. "But didn't Mr. Mori himself come?"
"The Maori detective has something to do and can't come for now," Conan replied. "Is there anything you want to say to him, brother?"
"Not really," Kosuke Mizutani's voice softened. "I just don't think it's safe for you to be a kid here, and if I want to do something to you, you're probably really dangerous."
"But brother, you're a good person, aren't you?" Conan replied with a smile. "Also, brother, I want to tell you something."
"What's the matter?" Kosuke Mizutani asked softly.
"Don't you think you deserve to die like this?" Conan asked.
"You mean, to put an end to it all with your own life?" Kosuke Mizutani raised his eyebrows, then smiled wryly. "I don't think I have any reason not to end myself—a reason to live in a world without Nanako."
"Needless to say," Conan shook his head, interrupting Kosuke Mizutani. "If it's just about that night two years ago, brother, it's understandable how you blame yourself and what you want to do, but can your death really put an end to all this?"
"Oh?" Kosuke Mizutani really showed a stunned expression this time.
"Someone else is responsible for all this, isn't it?" Conan is colorful. "The one who committed all these crimes with his own hands, and then let you bear it."
"Strictly speaking, you can't say that," Kosuke Mizutani seemed tired of standing and sat down on the ground, beckoning to Conan as he spoke, motioning for him to come over. "Little brother, do you have anyone you like?"
“?” Conan was a little strange, but he still walked in front of Kosuke Mizutani. "What do you mean by asking this question?"
"In the future, if you meet a girl you like very much and want to protect her with your life," Kosuke Mizutani, who was sitting on the ground, still with a faint smile, put his wrist on Conan's shoulder, and slowly rubbed his fingers through Conan's hair. "You'll understand how important Nanako is to me, and you'll know what her departure means to me."
"The colors will fade, the picture will be silent, as if the whole world has been drained of its soul." Kosuke Mizutani continued. "I just hope that something like this doesn't happen again, at least not because of the kind of thing that happened to Nanako."
"I don't want the girls you like and other people like to be like Nanako, and I don't want you to be like me because of that. That's why I'm going to bear this charge, because only I, Nanako's boyfriend, who is named this murderer, can give a warning to those who want to do such evil to girls in the future, and give them a sword of Damocles that will never decay. ”
"Mizutani-san, you ......" Conan finally noticed that something was wrong. You okay? ”
"It doesn't matter," the smile on Kosuke Mizutani's face remained—Conan had thought it was because of his gentle personality, but now he realized that the main ingredient in this might be relief in the face of impending relief. "Little brother, can you let me hug you?"
Saying this, Kosuke Mizutani put his hand on Conan's shoulder and tried to pull Conan towards him, but after a trace of bitterness flashed on Conan's face, Conan finally took a step forward in silence, and then was obediently hugged by Kosuke Mizutani.
Judging by Kosuke Mizutani's remaining strength, his time was running out - he must have taken the poison before Conan arrived, and he was about to die of poison.
Kosuke Mizutani still had a faint smile on his face and put his head on Conan's shoulder.
But in the next second, Conan's indifferent look was instantly replaced by surprise.
The reason is simple, because Kosuke Mizutani said such a sentence.
"Here, there's danger," Kosuke Mizutani's tone was still so relaxed as he spoke. "I think it could have been aimed at you, or it could have been accidentally bumped into you. In short, don't make a noise, or you'll be discovered. I had a cell phone and a knife in my backpack, so I immediately called the police and used the knife to protect myself, and if you're lucky, maybe you'll be able to get out safely. ”
After saying that, Kosuke Mizutani let go of Conan, and then leaned back on the railing, turning his head slightly to the left with his head held by the two adjacent railings, and his already pale face seemed to have a little blood color due to excitement.
"Nana......" Kosuke Mizutani muttered. I'm back......"
(Author: Kosuke Mizutani last looked to the left because he was just starting to look in the direction of the North Star, and after he sat down, he was facing south, and when he looked to the left, he was looking to the east - at 71 minutes in the original book, Kosuke Mizutani sat on the playground on the roof of a building, looking at the photos and reminiscing.) This place was definitely not chosen by him at random, but it should be the place where he and Nanako Honjo came to play together. There is a close-up of 71 minutes and 25 seconds, Tokyo Tower is reflected by the fiery clouds generated by the setting of the sun, and Tokyo Tower is symmetrical from this angle, so it is certain that the building is on the east side of Tokyo Tower to the north. (Because the four feet of Tokyo Tower do not point to the east, west, north and south) before he died, he looked in the direction of the building that he and Nanako visited together and left good memories. )
After this last word, all fell silent.
"......" Conan was silent, turning his gaze away from Kosuke Mizutani, who had passed away peacefully.
"Mr. Kazuki Motogami is behind the scenes," Conan said almost through gritted teeth. "I know you're here, right! Yes? Do you dare to come out to see me! ”
At the end, Conan, who had a cold light in his eyes, was already full of expression.
