It's hard to imagine that such a rugged young man could come from such a family. I wonder what kind of family could raise a boy with such a unique temperament.
Before the rugged young man could react, Chen Anxia had already stood in front of him.
Chen Anxia introduced herself first, saying, "My name is Chen Anxia, and I am a junior high school detective."
After hearing Chen Anxia's words, the burly young man finally came to his senses and subconsciously introduced himself, "My name is Hua Sheng..."
As Watson spoke, he seemed to notice something, his eyes widening as he looked at Chen Anxia with a mixture of surprise and confusion, asking, "Are you a middle school detective?"
Chen Anxia's exceptional insight allowed him to glean a great deal from Watson's expression and reaction.
Without answering Watson's question, Chen Anxia spoke up on her own, "Your name probably isn't your real name."
As Chen Anxia spoke, she noticed that Hua Sheng's expression faltered slightly, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
Chen Anxia remained unfazed and continued, "From your reaction just now, it's clear you're very sensitive to the term 'junior high school detective'."
"So it seems that the name you are using now, Watson, must be derived from John H. Watson."
"That is, a fictional character in the Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, who is the partner of the protagonist Sherlock Holmes."
As she spoke, Chen Anxia looked at Watson with her deep, penetrating eyes and smiled slightly, saying, "Am I right? Watson, you're also a middle school detective!"
As Chen Anxia deduced, the expression on Watson's face gradually changed from blank to shocked.
At that moment, Watson even had the illusion that Sherlock Holmes was standing in front of him.
After he realized what was happening, Hua Sheng couldn't help but look at Chen Anxia with admiration and respect, saying, "Your observation skills and reasoning abilities are truly amazing."
As he spoke, Watson directly admitted, "That's right, I'm also a junior high school detective, of course, it's self-proclaimed."
"And my name, Watson, is indeed, as you said, taken from John H. Watson, Sherlock Holmes' partner in the Complete Sherlock Holmes stories."
"As for my real name, it is Satomi Satoru."
Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia did not hesitate at all, and directly extended her right hand to Watson, smiling and saying, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Watson!"
Upon hearing Chen Anxia's words, Watson knew that Chen Anxia acknowledged his name, Watson, and his identity as a middle school detective, and a genuine smile appeared on his face.
Then, without hesitation, Hua Sheng reached out and shook Chen Anxia's right hand, laughing heartily, "It's a pleasure to meet you too, Chen Anxia!"
After shaking hands, Chen Anxia asked, "Since you're a junior high school detective, do you know about the strange case that happened here four years ago?"
Upon hearing this, Watson replied directly, "Of course I know. To be honest, I came here specifically to solve this strange case."
Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia asked, "Then have you untied it?"
Watson shook his head with a wry smile and replied, "I've been here for three days and have done a lot of investigation, but I haven't found a single clue."
Seeing this, Chen Anxia showed no surprise, simply nodding slightly before asking again, "So what are your thoughts on this strange case?"
With a slight frown, Watson thought for a moment and said, "Although I haven't found out the truth, according to my investigation, the deceased should not have committed suicide, but was murdered by someone in some mysterious way."
"Do you want to know the truth behind this strange case?" Chen Anxia then asked.
"Of course I want to," Watson nodded without hesitation.
Seeing this, Chen Anxia walked directly outside, saying as she went, "Then come with me, I'll show you the truth behind this strange case."
Watson was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed shock.
Without hesitation, Hua Sheng followed directly behind Chen Anxia.
On the way outside, Watson had a question that puzzled him, so he asked, "Ansha, aren't you curious why I didn't take the name from Sherlock Holmes, but instead took the name from his assistant, John H. Watson?"
Without even thinking, Chen Anxia replied with eight words: "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight."
These eight words struck Watson like a bolt of lightning, leaving him utterly shocked. He couldn't help but murmur, "So... he saw through it all along..."
......
Chapter 370, "The Second World," the truth is revealed! (Please subscribe!)
As Watson said, his identity as a middle school detective was self-proclaimed.
In his world, he could only be considered a middle school student fascinated by detective reasoning.
This is normal, after all, not every junior high school student is like Shinichi Kudo or Heiji Hattori, with the corresponding resources and background.
Almost no junior high school student is likely to become a detective, and almost no one will come into contact with real cases unless the case happens right around them.
Under such circumstances, Watson, who was fascinated by detective fiction, could only turn his attention to detective novels and films and television dramas related to detective fiction.
Of all these, Watson's favorite is naturally "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," and his favorite and most admired character is the protagonist, Sherlock Holmes.
This situation continued until the birth of a groundbreaking game.
This game is "Second World" developed by Truth Gate Games.
This "Second World" is the world of "Detective Conan".
In the public's promotion of the game "Second World", the game is described as a second real world with 100% freedom.
In Second World, there is no specific main storyline; players are free to develop their own preferences and have endless possibilities.
This also means that even junior high school students can become detectives and embark on a detective's career.
It was for this reason that Watson entered the Second World.
Of course, there are also players with all sorts of dreams, just like Watson, who have also entered the world of "Second World".
After entering the Second World, Watson changed his name to solidify his determination to become a detective.
Watson knew his reasoning abilities were limited, which is why he didn't choose a name from Sherlock Holmes.
As Chen Anxia said, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
For Watson, to presumptuously adopt a name associated with Sherlock Holmes before possessing the reasoning ability commensurate with the name would not only be a desecration of his idol but also a disgrace to himself.
......
At this moment, Hua Sheng silently followed behind Chen Anxia, watching Chen Anxia's back with a flicker in his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
Soon, Chen Anxia and Hua Sheng arrived at the gathering point for Minowa Shōhei's fans.
Chen Anxia and Hua Sheng did not actually meet at the meeting point, but waited in a secluded corner not far away.
As for Minowa Shohei, according to him, he was going to prepare for skiing, which means putting on ski protective gear, etc., and asked the fans to wait here first.
As time passed, many more fans who had heard the news arrived one after another, eager to see Minowa Shohei demonstrate his exceptional skiing skills.
Among them, Chen Anxia saw Suzuki Sonoko, Mouri Ran, and Kudo Shinichi, who had come to join in the fun.
I also saw Toyama Kazuha being pulled along by someone.
besides...
Chen Anxia glanced sideways at a mysterious woman not far away, whose face was completely covered and whose true features were obscured. She was holding a camera and recording something.
The camera she was holding was pointed at the fan gathering point. An uninformed person might mistake her for a fan of Minowa Shohei, wanting to use her camera to record Minowa Shohei's excellent skiing skills.
But Chen Anxia, through her terrifying insight, discovered that the camera in her hand was always pointed at a certain person in the fan gathering point.
This person is Shinichi Kudo.
This fact caused Chen Anxia's expression to freeze slightly.
Keep in mind that Shinichi Kudo was still an unknown figure at the time, so it was impossible for him to have this level of fans following him around.
As for whether she is Shinichi Kudo's admirer...
Well, while that's a possibility, her behavior doesn't seem like that of an admirer who would secretly take photos.
At this moment, Chen Anxia thought of Kudo Yusaku, whom she had met not long ago...
In her heart, Chen Anxia thought to herself, 'She must be Shinichi Kudo's mother, Yukiko Kudo...'
After deducing Yukiko Kudo's identity, Chen Anxia stopped paying attention to Yukiko Kudo and turned his attention back to the fan gathering point.
Although Hua Sheng did not understand Chen Anxia's intentions, he could guess that Chen Anxia was waiting for Ji Lun to lead his troops.
Recalling Chen Anxia's earlier words, Watson seemed to understand something, thinking to himself, 'Could it be that the truth Anxia spoke of is related to General Ji Lun?'
Thinking it over, Watson quickly went through the information he had gathered in his mind, trying to find a connection between it and Minowa Shohei and the truth of the case.
No matter how much Watson sorted out and pondered, he just couldn't find a connection between Minowa Shōhei and the truth of the case.
Just then, the prepared soldier, Ji Lun, appeared carrying a large bag.
Chen Anxia looked at the appearing soldiers of the Ji Lun Army, his eyes narrowing slightly as he tried his best to discern something.
Immediately, Chen Anxia's lips curled up slightly, and the truth of the strange case from four years ago was revealed in his deep eyes, which reflected the figure of General Ji Lun.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Anxia said, "Let's go, Watson. It's time to uncover the truth behind that strange case from four years ago."
Without hesitation, Hua Sheng followed Chen Anxia toward the fan gathering point and toward Ji Lun Jiangbing.
Not far away, in another corner, Pianpin Luren walked over without hesitation after seeing Chen Anxia's actions.
In the hands of the Lu people in the film, there is a camera that is recording evidence.
On the other side, Yukiko Kudo, who was recording Shinichi Kudo's growth, was slightly taken aback when she heard Chen Anxia's words.
Then, watching Chen Anxia and Watson's retreating figures, he murmured, "Watson, is it possible that someone from an island nation would have such a name?"
"Could that boy have really solved the truth behind that strange case from four years ago?"
As she spoke, Yukiko Kudo's lips curled slightly, and she murmured, "Interesting. I wonder what Yusaku's reaction would be if he knew that the truth he's been searching for has been found by a young boy..."
As they were talking, Yukiko Kudo seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Chen Anxia's back with interest and continued to mutter, "By the way, could he be the interesting boy that Yusaku mentioned earlier?"
At the same time, Shinichi Kudo also noticed Chen Anxia and Watson walking towards them.
Shinichi Kudo, unaware of Chen Anxia's intentions, assumed Chen Anxia was there to see Ran Mouri again. Therefore, he looked at Chen Anxia with some wariness, muttering, "Damn it, why did I run into this guy again..."
Not only Shinichi Kudo, but Kazuha Toyama also noticed Chen Anxia and Watson approaching.
Without much thought, Toyama Kazuha assumed that Chen Anxia, like Watson, was a fan of Minowa Shohei and had come specifically to see him demonstrate his skiing skills.
Under these circumstances, Chen Anxia and Hua Sheng arrived at the fan gathering point and said, "The truth about that strange case from four years ago should be revealed by now."
As he spoke, Chen Anxia turned his seemingly penetrating gaze to the large bag carried by Minowa Shohei, and continued, "You agree, right? The murderer who killed Mizukami Jiro back then, Minowa Shohei..."
