Chapter Eleven: What You Don't Want

After returning to the coffee shop, Tani Mizuto still sat in the corner where he often sat. After contacting Ran Maori and Yuanko Suzuki and inviting them to come tonight, he asked Azusa Tomoto to make some preparations in advance, and there were many people coming tonight.

The sunset is late and the afterglow is shining.

Tani Mizuto drank black tea in the coffee shop for an afternoon of reading books. He bought it casually when he passed by the bookstore on his way back, Yuzusaku Kudo's Dark Night Baron series.

Yusaku Kudo is worthy of being a world-renowned mystery novelist, and he has his complete set of works in any small bookstore on the roadside.

The door of the coffee shop was pushed open, the sound of the distant wind chime slowly opened, and a little boy leaned in and walked in.

Azusa Hiromoto looked up and saw that it was Conan, so she continued to do her own work.

Conan climbed up the chair opposite Gu Shuizumi by skillfully hiking, and asked, "Brother Shuizumi, why are you always wearing black clothes?"

"Then why do you always wear a suit?" Gu Shuiquan asked back.

"No reason, it's just a habit." Conan said with a touch of the back of his head.

"That's it, I'm used to it." Gu Shuiquan didn't even raise his head.

“…”

"Oh, you're reading Baron Dark Night. Do you like this book too?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Conan quickly changed the subject.

However, he was just embarrassed by himself. Gu Shuiquan was just playing with him. It was rare that someone chatted with him. Although he was not very good at it, he still felt it was quite interesting.

"It's not a question of whether you like it or not. I just saw this book in a bookstore and bought it to read it."

The atmosphere fell silent again. Conan felt that chatting was very difficult for the first time. It was obvious that when he went out to play with Xiaolan, Holmes, who could chat with Xiaolan for a day, was not tired.

"Do you like Sherlock Holmes, Brother Shuiquan?" Conan simply started with the topic he was best at. As long as the topic was in this field, he was the uncrowned king.

"Yeah, that's OK."

"...I think Sherlock Holmes is the greatest detective, what do you think?" Conan began to chat in awkward manner.

"When I was young, I admired Holmes very much when I first read him..." Gu Shuiquan put down the book and said while recalling it.

A glimmer of light flashed in Conan's eyes. Here he came, and he could finally learn more about this man in black.

"I feel that his wisdom is incomparable. It seems that nothing can be seen in front of him. He can always see everything, and he can always adapt to changes and be calm when encountering things.

But now my view has changed a little. Rather than saying that he is a great detective, he is a person who is loyal to his will and can realize it without fear of any obstacles, ordinary but extraordinary."

"Why do you say that?"

"Solmes was not a detective or inquiring about the truth for any great reason. He regarded this profession as a challenge to the mind. I remember the book once mentioned that because life without a case was too boring, he could only use 7% cocaine to excite himself, which is his ordinary point.

He is doing what he wants, no matter what the price is, he has to do as he wants, which is beyond the reach of most mortals.”

"It's not like this. Sherlock Holmes revealed the truth for the sake of justice in his heart that is above everything else! So he is great." Conan was anxious and could no longer care about his original purpose. No one could say bad things about Sherlock Holmes in front of him.

"You also said that it is the justice that is above everything else in his heart." Gu Shuiquan was unmoved.

"Yes, is there any problem?"

"Is the justice in his heart your justice? Is it mine?" Gu Shuizumi asked in a plain tone as he looked at Conan, who was blushing on his angry face.

"Justice is justice, just as good is good, evil is evil." Conan Qiang argued himself.

"Is there a clear standard? Who stipulated it?" Gu Shuiquan's tone was neither anxious nor slow.

"Isn't this obvious? Of course it's the law!"

"You are too young and don't understand the essence of the law." Tani Shuizuki said with a touch of Conan's head.

Conan took Tani Shuizumi's hand away and asked, "I understand, I'm not young anymore."

At this time, Ran Maori and Yuanko Suzuki arrived and heard this sentence.

"What are you talking about? What Conan is saying clearly, it's not too small?" Moriran asked curiously as he looked at Conan's angry look.

"I'm talking about Conan's little girlfriend at school." Tani Shuizumi said nonsense.

Ran Maori's face turned red, and then he felt a little funny, "Conan, you are too young to fall in love, let's talk about it when you grow up."

"No, we weren't talking about this just now." Conan didn't expect Tani Shuizumi to lie, and his face was so angry that he was bulging.

"What are you talking about?"

Conan briefly retelled the previous argument. Ran Mori looked at Conan like this and thought of Shinichi Kudo again.

"It's really exactly the same as him." Ran Mouri murmured.

"What are you talking about, Xiaolan?" Suzuki Yuanko asked with her arms holding Tani Shuizumi.

"Ah, nothing, I didn't expect Brother Shuiquan to have such a childish side."

"Yes, I thought he was always cold, but I didn't expect that he would have such a cute side, hehe." Suzuki Sonoko's eyes narrowed with a smile.

Sure enough, love makes people blind, and Ran Maori was so excited by Suzuki Sonoko's words that she was full of goose belt.

"Hey, hurry up and talk, don't change the subject!" Conan refused to give in.

"Ko~nan~, stop making trouble."

"It's okay, Xiaolan." Tani Shuizuin stopped Ran Maori who was about to explode. "Looking at his appearance, if he doesn't explain it clearly, I'm afraid he can't sleep at night.

There is a saying that the law, with its great equality, prohibits the rich and the poor from living under the bridge, begging along the streets, and stealing food.

Can you understand?"

Conan has a relatively strong outlook on three aspects and has no worries about food and clothing since he was a child. He has no experience of this sentence and wants to argue, but he can't think of any slutty words for a while.

But Ran Maori thoughtful. Her mother, Virgin Emily, is a well-known lawyer with an unbeaten record, and she has some understanding of the law.

"The law is a tool for the ruler of the state and maintains its rights. The main purpose is to maintain social stability and maintain order to consolidate its ruling foundation, and has never been related to justice.

The word justice has been subjective since its birth. Although people have some common standards for it, its essence is the justice of most people.

And this kind of justice is precisely atrocities against a few people.

Therefore, the law never serves as the standard of justice, and justice is different for everyone, and your justice may not be a bad deed to others." Gu Shuiquan continued.

Conan's mind was in a mess after hearing this. These words were inconsistent with his three views. His three views spontaneously rejected these fallacies, but he didn't know where to deny them.

"Okay, let alone these boring things. Mizuki, what's the matter if you ask us to come? And what do you mean by saying you need Xiaolan's help?" Suzuki Yuanko saw that the atmosphere was a little solemn, and quickly spoke.

"I said yesterday, a solution to the bad luck." Gu Shuiquan looked at his watch, "They should be coming soon."

"If you say this, how can you determine whether something is in accordance with justice?" Conan asked after a long time of silence.

"Who knows, probably, don't do to others what you don't want."
