Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

"But, what about the sleeping pills you took earlier?"

Facing Conan's suggestion, Cheng Shi hesitated. He had always thought that Conan was just acting normal because the drug hadn't taken effect yet.

"Don't worry! I'm not as stupid as Xiaolan! You're still a long way from using those little tricks to trick me!"

Of course, this was a lie. At first, he was just like Xiaolan, completely defenseless against Chengshi. But who can blame him for having a golden finger? As soon as his lips touched the glass of water, the system gave him a prompt:

[The host's resistance to sleeping pills has increased. This skill has now been fixed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the passive skill: 'Resistance (Sleeping Pills)']

There's nothing I can do about it. He has a good system after all. So, sleeping pills are no longer effective for him now! (No, they're not.)

In fact, when Conan saw the system prompt, he realized the seriousness of the problem! So, he pretended to drink the water, but actually poured it out secretly (commonly known as raising fish).

The drowsiness brought on by the little bit of sleeping pills he drank had long since dissipated thanks to the system's skills. Therefore, his current state could be said to be absolutely perfect.

"Is that so? Then I'll leave it to you, little...Conan!"

Cheng Shi, who originally wanted to call him little detective, finally changed his words under the attack of Conan's dead fish eyes.

Although he didn't want the child to get involved in his affairs, since Conan had asked for it, and since Conan could see through his identity, he thought it wouldn't be too dangerous. Therefore, he said nothing more and nodded in agreement.

"By the way, is it safe here? Will Sister Xiaolan be in any danger if she stays here alone?"

Looking at Xiaolan who was still lying on the bed beside him, Conan asked with some concern. "Subordinates are subordinates, and wives are wives!" He still knew which was more important.

If there is any danger, I can just knock Cheng Shi unconscious myself! After the police have finished cleaning up the place, I can take him to find the sheet music! But the only problem is, after the fight between the two sides, whether the sheet music can still be found is a problem.

"Do not worry!"

Cheng Shi nodded to Conan:

"Unless Inspector Megure's identity is exposed in the short term, they won't be so desperate as to come here to look for that girl!

After all, I've been living on this island for over a year. Since they haven't bothered me, it means they don't want to get involved with me for now. So, unless they find something's wrong, there won't be any problems here!"

"Is that so? Then will Xiaolan wake up early?"

"No, you have to trust the doctor!"

As he said this, Chengshi winked at Conan playfully.

Conan took a deep breath:

"No problem, let's go!"

After climbing out of the clinic's window, Conan carefully closed it and briefly cleaned up the traces around it. Although a closer look would reveal clues, a cursory inspection would easily overlook these details.

"You still have to be careful!"

Looking at Chengshi's somewhat surprised look, Conan explained seriously.

"...Something seems a little off. Although this island has always been relatively quiet, it's a little too quiet today!"

As they walked towards the community center, Cheng Shi frowned and spoke in surprise. "There's not a sound on the road. It's completely silent. It's dead still all around. Even though it's night time, it shouldn't be this quiet!"

Conan's expression became slightly more serious after hearing this:

"Never mind all that, let's hurry to the community center and find your father's belongings. As for the rest, leave it to the uncles and the others!"

"But the key to the warehouse is..."

"Forget the key! Just go in through the window!"

Looking at Cheng Shi, Conan was speechless. Come on, you're ready to kill someone, how can you still have such a strong sense of morality? What key do you need? Can't you just break in through the window?

"I'm not worried about that! I'm worried that the noise coming in through the window is a bit loud... In this environment, it's easy to be heard! If they really know something, it's easy to attract people over here!"

Cheng Shi was also a little speechless. Did he look like such a well-behaved person? He wouldn't care about breaking into things through windows, okay? He wasn't going there to steal anything, he was just returning his belongings to their rightful owners.

"...You're right! Let's go in through the main door then! But let's forget about looking for the key!"

Conan was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "But keys and the like are completely unnecessary! That old policeman has lived on this island for so many years! Who knows whose side he's on? As for the door lock..."

"As for the door lock, you don't have to worry at all, I have a way!"

He had already checked the door lock at the community center. It was an old-fashioned lock, the same as the one in his university dorm. It didn't need a key; a card was enough!

Next, the two of them cautiously came to the vicinity of the community center.

"This building looks just like a coffin!"

Looking at this square building, Conan couldn't help but complain. It looked okay during the day, but at night, with its high-bottomed structure and low top, it really looked like a coffin.

"Don't say such unlucky things! Something is wrong!"

Cheng Shi interrupted Conan, frowned, and spoke in a serious expression.

"You know, today is the anniversary of that Guishan guy's death! Normally, the ritual should have already started at this time, but now there's no sound at all!"

"It seems that Uncle Maori and the others have found something fatal, forcing them to give up their disguise!"

Looking at the quiet and dark community center in front of him, Conan thought:

"Anyway, let's take advantage of this opportunity to go find what you want! As for Uncle Maori, just trust them!"
