Chapter 427 The So-called Friendship

Chapter 427: So-called Friendship

About fifteen minutes later, I returned to the children's camp with a wild rabbit in my hand. I pulled the rabbit's ears and its legs were still flapping. It was full of energy.

Of course, this was also an excuse for me to explain why I had been out for so long, and the children took the rabbit and rubbed it, then let it go. After all, the children were not capable of cooking this game.

On the other side, Qinghua also returned to their camp. But judging from her expression, the content of our conversation just now obviously made her fall into deep thought.

"Hey, sir, are you really willing to help me?" More than ten minutes ago, Qinghua was still asking me timidly.

No wonder I felt this voice was familiar. When I opened the tracking system to confirm the client, I was shocked to see Qinghua's information. But it made sense, after all, I had already seen that this young lady was not real.

It’s just that I didn’t expect that this college student named Qinghua had the courage to come to the dark web alone.

"I'll give you a guideline for the price of five million, don't waste your time." I said coldly.

"Oh, yes." On the other side of the phone, Qinghua adjusted her breathing and began to describe her plan.

"We, we actually went out camping this time. I planned to use the RV I rented to commit a murder."

As expected, I knew that I would encounter a murder case when following Conan, but fortunately, I discovered it in advance this time.

"When everyone is getting ready to camp, I will call Taimei to the car and ask her to help clean the dirt off the roof of the RV. I will take the opportunity to smash her to death with a stone, and then... then..."

"How to deal with the corpse and the bloodstains. How to put the blame on others." I interrupted Qinghua and asked her to get straight to the point. After all, I have been out for a long time. If I don't go back, Conan will look for me all over the world.

"Use a thin pad to reduce friction, and hang Taimei's belt on the roof of the car with the sunroof to prevent her from falling. After starting the car, take the opportunity to open the sunroof and let her slide down naturally. We have the opportunity to open the sunroof to avoid suspicion. As for clothes, I have brought a spare set."

"How to deal with the bloody clothes."

"I...I burn it? And then..." Qinghua was a little flustered.

"What if the body is discovered in advance?"

"We don't usually go on the roof of the car."

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

"me."

"You are an ordinary college student, right?" After hearing Qinghua's illogical and luck-based killing method, I already felt that Conan could easily solve this case.

"If she was your classmate, how could you have such a deep hatred for her? She just spent your money and mocked you. The source of your hatred is entirely your inferiority complex. Do you think you can succeed in framing someone for murder with such illogical and flawed methods?"

"But, but..."

"Well, I can't give you any advice on your method, it's full of loopholes." My voice became cold. "If you really want to kill her, plan it carefully, otherwise just give up!"

"You, why are you..." Qinghua's voice sounded a little doubtful. After all, what I said now had already exceeded the scope of the commission and became persuasion.

"Just to be worthy of the five million reward." I gathered my thoughts and my voice became cold again.

Persuade? No, I just hope the kids can have a complete camping trip. Every time I follow Conan, I encounter a case, so I have to go camping with the kids all over again every time, which is tiring.

Therefore, if Qinghua can be persuaded this time, maybe the children can have a good camping experience, and they won’t have to go camping so frequently next time.

"This murder method is full of loopholes. If you want to surrender yourself afterwards, I won't stop you. But if you want to be worthy of the five million..." I paused slightly at this point.

"I can give you a poison in a week. It's a chronic poison, and although it takes effect slowly, it's definitely effective. She will die of some disease in half a month at most. It's much better than your method that's full of loopholes. You can think about it carefully during this week."

"This, I..."

"Take money from people and help them get rid of disasters." I no longer wanted to listen to Qinghua's words because Shiho had already called me at this time and asked me to go back.

"In a week, I will give you an address and you can go get the medicine yourself. You just need to put it in the water she drinks. It's up to you whether you want to do it or not."

After saying that, I hung up the phone and walked towards the camp.

"Are you really going hunting for game?" After the camp was built, Shiho sat next to me and asked in a low voice.

"No." I shook my head. "I just took a mission, and by chance the client and the target of the mission are right next to us?"

"Eh?" Shiho was slightly surprised. After all, besides us, the only people left here were the four college students we met later. "The four of them..."

"That girl called Shirafuji Taimi does have a deep conflict with Tenjo Haruka. As a result, Haruka is going to send her away today. To be honest, the reason is quite weird, and of course, the method is even weirder."

"So? What did you do?" "I took five million from her, and prepared a slow-acting poison for her a week later. What to do during this week depends on what she thinks. After all, she was just impulsive at the moment. If she calms down in a week, maybe she will give up."

"So you didn't plan to help her from the beginning?" Shiho smiled slightly. She knew that I was using people's fear to help Tenjo Haruka resolve the murder case.

"If Tian Tang Qing Hua really did it a week later, you wouldn't let her succeed, right?"

"Well... I didn't think too much about what happened next. I just hope the kids can have fun this time." I fell on my futon. "So Shiho, can you please make me a medicine? The kind that is colorless and tasteless in melted water and can cause long-term diarrhea in people."

"Ah..." Shiho sighed slightly, but then put on a wry smile. "I'll do it for you when I get back."

"Hehe, I knew this wouldn't be a problem for my good Shiho." I approached her with a smile, but Shiho pushed me away with disgust.

"A laxative can dehydrate Shirafuji Taimi for two weeks. These two weeks are enough time for Tiantang Qinghua to reflect on whether or not he wants to kill someone. This way, we can have a pleasant camping weekend."

"Aren't you afraid that she will lose her patience and take action today?"

"If she is determined to use such a loophole trick, then I can only say that she is really stupid, and there is no need for me to save her." I waved my hand and continued.

"She is just a college student who has never seen society. She made a mistake in the heat of the moment, which is understandable. But if she doesn't save herself, I won't save her."

"I hope she can understand the difference between so-called friendship and self-humiliation." Shiho closed her beautiful eyes slightly. "Anyway, there shouldn't be any cases during our camping trip this time, right?"

"Ah, I don't think so." I nodded. "If something goes wrong, I'll solve the case in seconds. Don't worry, I'm not interested in her tricks, so I'll just catch her in the act."

"Hey! What are you two doing here?" Just as I was chatting with Shiho, Genta suddenly rushed into the tent. "We have to finish cooking! Kaoru, Haibara-san, come and help!"

"Hi~"

"Ah."

As the sun set, the children built a fire in front of the tent. Since we were camping, we didn't prepare complicated food. We just cooked a whole pot of simple curry, which was enough for the eleven of us.

"Wow...it smells so good."

"You're amazing, Xun. I never thought you could make such a simple curry taste so good."

"You also said it was a simple curry. As long as you master the ratio of water to curry and add fresh ingredients and meat, the curry will be delicious." Facing the children's praise, I didn't respond too much. "It's a pity that you let the wild rabbit we caught earlier go, otherwise we could have made two wild game dishes here."

"Kaoru, that's too much." Ayumi was a little dissatisfied.

"Rabbits are so cute, why do we eat them?"

"That's it!"

"Xun, you are so cruel."

"Okay, okay, stop making jokes." I waved my hand and said, "Go and call those people to come for dinner."

"Then, let's go together, ai... ai... Oh, does Haibara-san want to go with us?" Ayumi stuttered for several sentences and finally changed the words.

"This child is not frank at all." Looking at Ayumi who was hesitating, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

At this moment, I have completely understood what Ayumi wants to do. She just wants to call Shiho by her nickname "Ai-chan" like me.

Indeed, for the children who grew up together, including Xiaolan and Sonoko, Conan and I, after getting to know each other, everyone would call each other by their first names, but those who were difficult to get along with or relatively unfamiliar would be called by their last names.

Perhaps because of Shiho's personality, the children didn't dare to call her "Ai-kun" too intimately. Calling her "Ai-kun" was already the limit.

This is fine for boys, after all, men and women should keep a certain distance, but for Ayumi, who is also a girl, it would be very sad to be so alienated from the only other girl. After all, she was determined to be friends with Shiho.

"Hmm? No, I'll stay here and look after Curry." Shiho was stunned for a moment, then shook her head. Knowing the truth, Shiho naturally had no mood to go see those college students. After all, no one could guarantee whether Taimei was still alive or not.

"Go ahead, Ai." I gave Shiho a look. "Go with Ayumi, just take a walk."

"Eh?" Shiho looked back at me, and I silently took the spoon and tapped the edge of the pot lightly, making a few strange rhythms.

"Go ahead, I'm here for you."

"Is that so?" Shiho smiled slightly, obviously understanding the meaning of the rhythm I just played. That was our old code, which meant...

friendship.
