Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 391 The Truth

"Never mind, Ms. Suzuki, maybe I was overthinking things."

At this moment, Karasuma Renya spoke up.

"It seems that my cooperation with Qi Ming is not going well, and the performance officially starts tomorrow. Just to be on the safe side, let's stick to the original script."

"okay."

After hearing what Ran Mouri and Renya Karasuma said, Sonoko Suzuki could only nod with some regret.

However, after glancing at the blood that was almost seeping into the wooden board, she said to Karasuma Renya with a slightly embarrassed expression:

"Um, Karasuma-sensei, is it easy to clean up the blood from these props? There seems to be quite a lot of it."

"...Don't worry, leave it to me."

Karasuma Renya nodded calmly.

However, the thought that he was cleaning up his own blood still made him feel a little strange.

"In that case, everyone can go home after school. I'll take care of the rest."

With Karasuma Renya's words, the extras cheered and went backstage to change out of their costumes before saying goodbye and leaving.

"Mr. Qi Ming, Xiao Lan, I'll head back now. I'll do some more promotional work when I get back."

Sonoko Suzuki didn't linger any longer, waved goodbye to everyone, and left.

"Let's go then, the smell of blood in here is just too strong."

Ai Haibara raised her hand and waved it at the tip of her nose.

After what happened just now, Ai Haibara initially felt that things were getting a little bad.

However, unexpectedly, this brought the rehearsal to a relatively normal end.

After all, the dead cannot be brought back to life, and no one who saw what just happened would believe that Karasuma Renya was actually killed by Qi Ming.

"Okay, let's go. Let's go to the maid café one more time before we go back."

Qi Ming sighed and said.

Now he really thinks that the girls in the maid cafe are not only beautiful, but also have lovely voices.

Although it was a bit embarrassing.

"..."

Ai Haibara expressed her extreme reluctance.

Not long after Qi Ming and Ai Haibara left, Ran Mouri also came out from backstage.

Her princess dress was quite elaborate, and she only just changed into it.

Seeing Conan collecting blood in a small bottle under the stage, she lowered her footsteps and sneaked over, puzzled.

"Conan, what are you doing?"

"!!"

Conan was startled by Ran Mouri's sudden voice, and the small bottle containing blood fell to the ground and shattered.

"I'm helping Karasuma-sensei clean up the bloodstains."

Conan scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said...

As soon as he finished speaking, he inexplicably felt that his words sounded a bit strange.

I always felt like I was helping to clean up a murder scene.

"Mouri-kun, aren't you leaving yet?"

Karasuma Renya walked out from backstage and smiled at Mouri Ran.

"Um, actually I was thinking of helping Karasuma-sensei clean up the bloodstains too."

Karasuma Renya laughed twice, then waved his hand.

"No need, Mori-kun. After all, I'm the one who made these, so just leave them to me."

"OK then."

Ran Mouri looked at Conan and Heiji Hattori and said.

"In that case, let's go back too."

"Um, well, I'll go with Conan and me later, Ran, you can go ahead by yourself."

Hattori Heiji waved his hands haphazardly as he stammered.

He hadn't yet figured out what reason he should use to stay and talk to Karasuma Renya.

Fortunately, Karasuma Renya spoke up in time to help him out of the predicament.

"Hattori-kun probably has some historical questions he wants to ask me."

Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.

"Ah, yes, that's right. I have some historical questions I need to ask Professor Karasuma."

Conan now had a reason to say to Ran, "Ran-neechan, I was also very interested in Karasuma-sensei's performance just now, and I would like to ask him for some advice."

Seeing the two of them smiling, Ran Mouri nodded and said goodbye before leaving.

After everyone else had left, only Karasuma Renya, Conan, and Hattori Heiji remained in the theater, creating a momentary silence.

"Sit down, don't be nervous."

After a short while, Karasuma Renya looked at Conan and Hattori Heiji and said calmly.

Conan and Heiji Hattori nodded and walked off the stage, unconsciously doing the same.

The other person exuded a strong sense of oppression, and their calm demeanor made it seem as if they didn't care about the previous death at all.

"Ask whatever you want. I know you've had some private conversations with Shuichi Akai."

Karasuma Renya stood on the stage, looking down at the two of them. Behind him, a faint light flickered, and a pure black chair appeared.

Conan's eyes flickered slightly. Sure enough, it was the same ability as Qi Ming.

Heiji Hattori looked at Conan and asked softly, "Kudo, what do you think we should ask now?"

Conan stroked his chin, pondering for a moment.

What does their organization do? Who created it and what are their goals?

These issues are completely irrelevant.

Conan wants to prove one thing.

"Karasuma-sensei, what is the truth of this world?"

Karasuma Renya stared at Conan expressionlessly, not at all surprised that Conan would ask such a question.

After all, when Shuichi Akai held a meeting with these people, he was listening in the whole time.

Presumably, Qi Ming in the past felt that it was somewhat boring for him to be the only one who knew the truth of the world, and wanted to gain more like-minded partners, so he went around preaching.

These detectives may not have believed Qi Ming's words at first, but after witnessing Qi Ming's actions and seeing his amazing skills, they had no choice but to think about it from a different perspective.

But now, Karasuma Renya felt it was necessary to rule out the truth that they already almost knew.

There are only two clear-headed people in this world, him and Qi Ming.

"The truth, isn't what you see before your eyes the truth?"

Karasuma Renya took out a cup of sake and drank it by himself, feigning confusion.

"I don't quite understand why you would ask such a question, Shinichi Kudo."

"..."

Conan's body trembled, but he quickly returned to normal.

He wasn't surprised at all that this person knew his identity.

Hattori Heiji then picked up the conversation and asked a question.

“Shuichi Akai said that you are Qi Ming’s enemy, and that you have similar abilities to Qi Ming.”

Hattori Heiji pointed to the blood on the ground.

"If the world is still as we imagine it to be, can you explain how you put on that performance?"

Karasuma Renya swirled his wine glass and asked casually:

"So what do you think this world is?"

Conan and Heiji Hattori exchanged a glance and said in unison:

"game."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Karasuma Renya stopped swirling his wine glass and then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, I originally thought you detectives were absolute materialists, but I didn't expect you to be fooled by Qi Ming too?"

"A game? Why would you believe such a ridiculous claim?"

"..."

Conan and Heiji Hattori's eyes widened slightly.

Was their previous speculation so easily overturned by Karasuma Renya?
