Chapter 29

"I hate him——!!!"

Uemura suddenly knelt down on his knees, as if he was filled with grief and anger, but also as if he was getting revenge: "I hate this old guy!"

"He just takes advantage of his age. , just an ordinary professor..."

"You know--! Do you know how he treats me as a student?"

Uemura gritted his teeth and raised his face with tears streaming down his face: "He regarded me as his. As

his personal slave! He barks at me all day long, asking me to take care of his life, and commands me like a dog! I can't feel my dignity as a human being..."

"But! But I have been so humble in order to graduate smoothly...I have accepted all Hamaguchi's viciousness...but now - but now he actually wants to leave me alone. Take possession of the paper you wrote! ! ”

Uemura’s eyes turned red, making people suspect that the tears that flowed out of his eyes the next second might be bright red tears.

"You don't know at all -!!! You don't know at all - how hard I worked for this paper without anyone's guidance! How desperate I was! It was so hard to write such a paper. "How important it is to me! You policemen who only know how to accuse others don't understand!" "

This paper is the only evidence that I am alive!"

The only thing I can pick up is dignity! !”

“There’s no way I’m going to let Hamaguchi take it away!”

Hamaguchi is still dead.

Although the posture was different, he still fell to the ground like the previous time, becoming an ugly scar on the green ground.

The scene under the sycamore tree came and went, changing and changing, and finally settled on the scene of "the prisoner surrendered to the law and confessed his crime".

The murderer turned out to be Takemura Uemura.

The method of killing was exactly what Edogawa Conan once theorized: anaphylactic shock artificially created by Takemura Uemura.

Without Angelica's interference, the investigation of the case was extremely smooth. The details and evidence that Uemura had deliberately concealed all surfaced one after another like a school of fish when a heavy rain was approaching.

There is no doubt that Angelica is not only no longer suspected, but this time she has nothing to do with anyone in the case.

But.

But why... do I feel so sad?

On the sycamore tree, Angelica listened quietly, but the sympathy and sadness in her heart were like a rising tide, repeatedly absorbed by her heart, and eventually swelled into a heavy sponge that could not be discharged.

"But the way you chose to pick up dignity in the end was to kill someone, right?"

"Do you think the dignity you picked up in this way is still what you want?"

Facing Shang Cun's sudden tears, Jiang Conan Togawa's childish face reveals an extremely contradictory calmness and calmness.

His brows were furrowed, and his sharp eyes could emit a frightening light even behind the lenses.

[Woo——Woo——Woo——]

[Woo…Woo…Woo…]

The criminal police quickly took Uemura away, and the dead Hamaguchi was also transported out of Miwa Park early.

The people who gathered because of the tragedy quickly dispersed, leaving only Angelica, who witnessed the tragedy, and Edogawa Conan and his party, who unveiled the true veil of the tragedy, remaining at the scene of the tragedy.

"Actually... I chose many kinds of 'accidents' for Mr. Hamaguchi..."

Before being taken away, Uemura suddenly lowered his head, looked at the ground, and suddenly spoke.

"Allergies are just one of them."

"Because I know Hamaguchi-sensei's schedule very well, or rather, Hamaguchi-sensei's schedule is completely arranged by me."

"His food, clothing, housing, and transportation are also all mine. Take responsibility."

"If he didn't die from allergies..."

Although Uemura confessed, there was no relief on his face, only indifference: "Today, he will also be killed in the garden yesterday because of that stupid tree hugging activity. When the workers were pruning the branches, the broken sycamore branches did not break their heads!"

"As long as I want to-"

Uemura sneered suddenly and turned around to stare at Edogawa Conan: "Hamaguchi trampled on my dignity wantonly! , This is his sin!"

"As for how I pick up my broken self-esteem, it is my own choice."

"You are such a little kid who stays out of the situation - you really know how to speak beautifully."

"It seems -" Uemura suddenly said. A creepy distortion flashed across his mind in an instant, "Only when you lose the most important thing can you possibly feel the same way... You self-righteous brat!" The

unwillingness and fierceness that emerged from Uemura's body, It was so substantial that Angelica couldn't help but touch the tree trunk nervously.

"Aren't you coming down yet?"

After the case was solved, Conan Edogawa put his hands in his pockets, raised his head, and looked quietly at the sycamore tree.

"Wow - Mommy -?"

"Mommy, why are you in the tree?"

Xu Lun, wearing a half-finished garland, came closer, hugged the trunk of the sycamore tree, and was the first to try to climb up.

"Wait, slowly." Angelica sighed, trying to free herself from the depressed mood, "Don't climb up."

"Mommy will go down soon."

[Stare——]

Empty Tiao Xulun hugged the tree and shook his head: Really? I do not believe!

In Xu Lun Kujo's impression, Angelica is indeed an adult with a soft body and flexible movements. But - climbing a tree has never happened in her current memory!

So...when did Mommy climb this tree? And... why did mommy climb the tree...? correct! Didn't Mommy leave Mihua Park early? Why is Mommy not only in the park now, but also in such a big tree?

[Stare——]

"I think you probably can't get down by yourself."

Conan Edogawa's eyesight is very good, and he can see Angelica's trembling limbs from a distance, as well as every time she tries to get down. Every time, my face becomes a bit paler.

"Ha, how could it be?"

Angelica felt as if her cheek twitched a little: it must have been just because of nervousness, definitely not because the truth was told by this child who likes to expose people's hurtful feelings!

What a strange kid.

Even though Angelica has now confirmed that Edogawa Conan is the famous high school detective Kudo Shinichi, she still can't imagine what the other person's mental journey is like.

Just now, he was cursed by Uemura Meng in a tone that could be called vicious, but he remained unmoved and looked nonchalant.

"Since I can climb the tree, of course I can also come down by myself."

The accidental case has been solved, there is no external interference, and there is no suspicion. Angelica blinked her eyes and gently patted the main trunk of the sycamore tree with her left hand:

"Jojo, wait for mom."

The usual She really couldn't master the tree method. Just thinking about the distance between the top of the tree and the ground filled her heart with rejection.

but.

As the saying goes, ability should come in handy when you are at a loss!

The badge appeared quietly on the top of the trunk, and Angelica confirmed again and again that this one had the [Distortion] function attached to it.

How long does it usually take for a person to reach the ground from a huge sycamore tree four to five meters high?

Angelica didn't know.

But, for her, it only takes half a minute.

The bright emblem controls the main trunk of the sycamore tree. Starting from its top, an invisible twist that only Angelica can see appears out of thin air, causing thread-like twists to appear on the surface of the thick trunk.

Straight up and down, Angelica couldn't do it.

However, once the surface is distorted, the originally unreachable main trunk gradually tilts and becomes a "road" with a slope.

Angelica walked on this special path as calmly and gracefully as she walked down a spiral staircase, without even the hem of her skirt rising up.

Light, silent, and beautiful.

! ! !

When Angelica stepped on the green grass under the sycamore tree with her pair of brown leather shoes, everyone's eyes widened: because they didn't see any "getting off the tree" from the other party at all!

"Xulun...is your mother a fairy...?"

Yoshida Ayumi covered her mouth, but her eyes shone brightly: "She is just like a fairy in a fairy tale! She wheezed - there was no sound at all - —Falled to the ground all of a sudden! "

Hmm...

um...

um...!"

"Yes -!" Although Xu Lun Kujo didn't understand how her beautiful mother could get off the ground in an instant, she accepted all the compliments that her classmates offered to Angelica. , "My mommy is a fairy——!"

Oops.

Angelica was more or less embarrassed by the bright eyes of the children, but there was a place in her heart that felt warm because of such sincere and warm gazes.

"The kids are great! They even help the police officers run errands!"

"To reward you, how about Auntie treating you to dinner?"

[Okay - okay - great -! ! ! ]

Among the cheering children, Edogawa Conan frowned: Damn it! Why can't I understand her actions? This kind of thing...even Kaitou Kidd can't do it easily without using any tools, right?

How did she, this mysterious woman, do it?

Sure enough, we still can't easily get rid of our suspicions about her...

With this thought, Edogawa Conan turned his head and glanced at Haibara Ai: After all... wasn't that woman the first to discover this guy?

[Stare——]

While Edogawa Conan was secretly observing Angelica, a special sight slowly emerged from the queue heading to the restaurant.

? ? !

who?

Edogawa Conan looked around nervously: the real elementary school students were happily discussing what to eat for dinner, and no one paid attention to him; Haibara Ai was being held by Xu Lun Kujo, patiently tilting his head, Listen to her whispering; as for the orange-haired child next to you, when Edogawa Conan looked over, he blinked innocently.

Hi?

Zhongyuan Zhong also showed an innocent expression.
