As the broadcast sounded, the crowd on the train platform gradually began to move.
During this, he subconsciously glanced around at Qing Shuijing, and accidentally caught a glimpse of something unusual on the bench behind him.
A plain-looking man with ordinary glasses sat on the bench. He seemed to be taking this train, so after hearing the announcement, he immediately picked up the black suitcase he placed next to him and prepared to get up.
But at this moment, a hooded man next to him suddenly patted the man with glasses on the shoulder, and then pointed under the bench, as if he said something.
The bespectacled man had a puzzled look on his face. He followed the hooded man's direction, bent down and looked under the bench, and the hand that was originally holding the suitcase loosened his grip.
At the same time, a man also carrying a suitcase walked quickly behind the man with glasses. The suitcase in this man's hand was exactly the same in shape as the suitcase next to the man with glasses.
While the bespectacled man bent down, the man switched the suitcase in his hand and the suitcase next to the bespectacled man at an extremely fast speed.
Due to the dense flow of people on the platform and the fact that this person's movement was extremely fast and skillful, no one except Qing Shuijing noticed the scene that just happened on the bench.
Maybe he noticed it, but because he didn't want to get into trouble, he didn't say anything.
Just like that, the last person who appeared quickly disappeared into the crowd carrying the dropped suitcase.
The man with glasses finally picked up something under the bench, which was a thousand yen note.
The man with glasses smiled and shook his head, then handed the thousand yen to the hooded man next to him. Then he stood up without knowing it, picked up the suitcase next to him, and walked towards the platform.
"What's wrong, brother-in-law? What are you looking at?"
Suddenly, Suzuki Sonoko tugged at the corner of Qing Shuijing's clothes and followed her gaze to the bench. However, because the man with glasses and the man in the hood left one after another, the bench was already empty at this time.
“What’s wrong with that bench?”
"nothing."
Qing Shuijing came back to her senses instantly and smiled at the two sisters.
The train had already entered the station at this time, and her eyes quickly locked on the bespectacled man who had squeezed into the queue. A trace of doubt flashed deep in his eyes.
"Ayako, Sonoko."
After hesitating for a moment, she looked at the two of them again and said, "Why don't we wait for the next trip?"
She felt a little worried.
The keen intuition cultivated by being active in the line of life and death for a long time suddenly took effect at this moment, and she vaguely felt that there might be something wrong with the suitcase that had been dropped.
And regardless of whether this intuition was correct or not, she didn't want to take the risk.
"Huh? Why?"
Hearing her words, Suzuki Sonoko asked doubtfully, and the Mori family standing next to the three people also looked over.
"What's wrong, kid? Why do you have to wait for the next trip?" Mouri Kogoro asked first.
Qing Shuijing looked at him, smiled and explained: "Mr. Maoli, I think there are a lot of people on this trip. Since we are not in a hurry, why not wait a little longer and sit down?"
Her words seemed to be asking everyone, but at the end of the sentence she looked at the Suzuki sisters beside her, as if she only cared about what they thought.
"Well, that's good." Suzuki Ayako nodded with almost no hesitation.
"You guys usually take less trains, right? Is there anything crowded at this time? The next two trains will be the same..."
Mouri Kogoro immediately refuted the reason given by Qing Shuijing. He shook his head with the confidence of a middle-aged man on his face.
"Don't wait, kid. This is how trains leave in Tokyo. There won't be many people at this time. Get on the train quickly!"
Following Mouri Kogoro's shout, Conan and the others beside him didn't pay much attention and followed the queue of people towards the train.
Qing Shuijing just looked at this scene with a dull gaze, without any intention of following.
When a middle-aged man saw this, he didn't say anything more and just waved his hand.
"Boy, let's go to Clover Villa to wait for you first. Don't be too late."
This time, Mao Lilan next to Suzuki Sonoko was in a bit of trouble.
Obviously everyone came out to play together, but now they were deliberately divided into two groups, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she could see Shuijing's intention and was very determined, so she didn't know how to persuade...
But Suzuki Sonoko, who was next to Mao Lilan, didn't think so much. She seemed to realize something, and her eyes scanned back and forth between her sister and Qing Shuijing. In the end, she thought she had discovered the truth. A narrow smile.
"Humph, stupid brother-in-law~"
Raising her head and stroking her forehead, Suzuki Sonoko put her hands on her hips and said in a rather naive tone: "I know! You said that on purpose, but you actually wanted to create an opportunity to be alone with your sister! Right?!"
"Huh? Garden..."
The one who was stunned was Suzuki Ayako. She seemed to believe her sister's reasoning. She looked up at Qing Shuijing beside her, her ears turning slightly red.
"Okay, you don't need to explain, we all understand~"
Before Qing Shuijing could speak, Suzuki Sonoko stepped forward, put his hands on the shoulders of the two men respectively, shook his head and sighed, and said helplessly in an adult tone:
"Don't worry, I'll go there with Xiaolan and the others first. You two can come slowly, but don't be too late, right?"
Before today, my brother-in-law seemed to have been invited by a wealthy man living in the countryside. He went out to paint some paintings for them. This painting lasted for several days, except for the phone call at the beginning. Apart from telling my sister about this, my cell phone was always turned off during this period and no one could contact me.
Now that they are finally back, these two people must be separated for a while, and they are eager to live in a world of two.
Realizing Qing Shuijing's "real intention", Suzuki Sonoko felt that she could not be a light bulb.
"Come on, Xiaolan, let's go up first."
"Huh? Well, okay..."
Most of the time for the train to stop had passed. Suzuki Sonoko greeted Mao Lilan, turned around and walked towards the train.
At this moment, Qing Shuijing suddenly reached out and firmly grabbed Suzuki Sonoko's wrist.
"Brother-in-law?" After being pulled by her, Suzuki Sonoko turned around and looked at her doubtfully.
"Yuanzi, let's wait for the next trip together." Qing Shuijing looked at her and said.
She shook her head slightly towards Suzuki Sonoko. Although her face still had the same gentle smile as usual, there was a rare seriousness in her eyes.
"Well, then..." Feeling a little embarrassed by her, Suzuki Sonoko's face turned a little red, and she subconsciously lowered her head and stood next to Qing Shuijing.
The scene between the two also fell into Mao Lilan's eyes.
She looked at the serious look in Qing Shuijing's eyes just now, and suddenly felt a little flustered for some reason. She shouted out to Maoli and the others in front of her by mistake:
"Dad! Let's wait for the next trip together, right?"
"Huh?" Mouri Kogoro stopped when he heard this and looked back, with confusion written all over his face.
"Please, Dad! We all come out to play together! You can't leave anyone behind, right?"
Hearing Mao Lilan's words, Qing Shuijing glanced at her in surprise.
In the end, at his daughter's plea, Mouri Kogoro unhappily chose to wait for the next train with Shimizu Shizu, and also stayed with Dr. Agasa and several other elementary school students.
"Really! Brat!"
Mouri Kogoro, who had his hands in his pockets and was asked to wait for an extra train for no reason, glared at Shimizu Shizu next to him with an unhappy face.
"I've told you, there won't be many people at this time! Why don't you listen?!"
Qing Shuijing didn't reply, just looked at him with a smile, but this made Maori Kogoro unhappy.
"If it weren't for Xiaolan's sake, I wouldn't wait with you for this trip!"
"Okay dad, don't be angry, Mr. Qingshui must have a reason for doing this..." Mao Lilan comforted helplessly from the side.
"Reason? What reason can this brat have?! Could there be something wrong with that train? Could it be that it could..."
"boom!"
Before Maori could finish speaking, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded not far from the platform.
Watching the Go game today, I almost burst into anger ()
