Chapter 237 The Neighbor at the Scene is My Ex-Boyfriend (Part 1)
On this day, Officer Yumi Miyamoto fell asleep while on patrol, and Miike Naeko, who was driving nearby, quickly reminded her to wake up.
"I'm sorry, I played mahjong with those officers from the serious crime squad all night yesterday." Officer Yumi yawned.
Officer Miaozi took the opportunity to ask about what she had been mumbling while she was asleep: "By the way, what did you just say about all seven of them being present?"
Officer Yumi looked surprised and a little embarrassed: "Hey, did I just say that?"
She sighed and continued, "That's what my ex-boyfriend said. I told him I was going to be a police officer and that we should break up, so he stuffed a strange envelope in my hand. He said he'd wait for me until all seven of them arrived, but then I never heard from him again."
Officer Yumei huffed, "So I decided to dump him and told him I won't wait any longer. I don't want to see your face or hear your voice, humph."
Officer Miaozi wanted to gossip a little more: "So what exactly are those seven things he mentioned?"
"I don't know, but it must be boring."
"I think the person you are talking about should be a crew member." Conan, Huibara, the little girl and three other little ones appeared next to the patrol car.
"The North Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Pacific, South Pacific, Indian Ocean, Arctic Ocean, and Antarctic Ocean. I guess what he meant was that you should wait for him to conquer these seven oceans."
"It's Conan." Officer Yumi looked down at the car window.
"Is that guy tanned?"
"No, his skin is very pale and he looks like a stay-at-home type. He does go out a lot but I don't know where he goes, but he doesn't look like someone who works an irregular job."
The little girl guessed, "That might be a rich young man. His family's business is shipping. He goes out to negotiate business with partners and expand his maritime trade to the seven seas, just like the Solon family in the Aegean Sea."
Conan's eyes widened. "Huh? What is the Solon family?"
Mitsuhiko speculated, "Maybe it's the parade of the Seven Lucky Gods?"
Ayumi nodded. "Are you talking about the one who goes around shrines and temples during the New Year and collects dolls of the seven gods? It's certainly possible."
Yuanta raised his hand: "As for that, my mother makes it every year. But if it's this, wouldn't it be quick to collect it?"
Haibara spoke with great authority: "Other than that, the possible ones are the seven deadly sins. Pride, envy, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony, and lust. These are the seven deadly sins in the Bible."
Conan showed his half-moon eyes directly: Who would collect such a horrible thing...
The little girl retorted, "If there are seven deadly sins, there must be seven virtues. Purity, diligence, generosity, humility, patience, temperance, and forgiveness. Maybe he wants to be a perfect person."
Conan couldn't help but hold his forehead: "I feel that what you said, Huiyuan and Alice, is too exaggerated."
Gray Principle sighed softly: "People with so many virtues don't necessarily have a good ending."
The little girl waved her hands excitedly. "Hehe, let me tell you a big secret! My dad is currently writing a short story about the seven virtues!"
Conan immediately became interested: "Tell me more."
Huiyuan was also curious. "Doesn't Mr. Orpheus mainly write mystery novels? If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to write a crime novel based on the Seven Deadly Sins?"
"Because Dad said that crime stories based on the Seven Deadly Sins were too cliché, so he decided to start with the Seven Virtues. I took a peek at his manuscript while he was asleep, but at the time it was just an outline and character descriptions."
[Explorer: Haha, I won't tell you who snored like thunder yesterday.]
[Composer: Fortunately, I moved away.]
[Entomologist: This is unbearable. If you didn't know better, you'd think the Bang Bang had a malfunction and was throwing bombs everywhere.]
[Guard 26: Bang?]
[Reporter: Aoife, the sound of your snoring is really... hard to describe.]
[Novelist: Is it really that loud? Why didn’t I hear it myself?]
[Explorer: I'm afraid you can hear anything! What a sin! There must be three walls between our rooms!]
[Crazy Eyes: Well, Master, why don’t you take some time to go see Miss Emily.]
[Doctor: Although I don't specialize in ENT, my advice is to stay up late less often and use a standard sleeping position.]
[Entomologist: I should also drink a little less of the Manor Beverage.]
"This story takes place on an ice sheet. There is a prison on the ice sheet. Inside are five criminals who have been convicted by the court and the two jailers who are responsible for guarding them. They live a hard life on the ice sheet, singing the seven virtues from the Bible day and night, hoping to leave this place one day."
"One day, the Inquisition sent a new warden who said he wanted to take away one of the best-performing prisoners. But one of the jailers thought it was just a lie from those 'civilized people,' so he led the prisoners in a rebellion against the warden."
Huiyuan pondered, "So the five prisoners and two guards represent the seven virtues, and the warden is the trigger that reveals the truth."
Conan listened to this background story and thought: "So these seven people will gradually betray the virtues they represent?"
The little girl shook her head. "No, I asked my father, and he said that the virtues they carry have never changed. That's the greatest tragedy of this story."
Huiyuan finally understood: "It seems that this prison is the only pure land. The Inquisition is probably the gathering place of the guilty. A group of people with empty virtues but no power, even if they finally wake up and try to resist, there will be no good result."
The little girl was very happy. "Yeah, the main theme of the story is similar to what Huiyuan said. And I found that when Dad was writing, he actually asked Aunt Merry for advice. The 'spokespersons' of the Seven Virtues are all code names of various insects."
"Winter Cicada and Ice Butterfly are the jailers, and the remaining five prisoners are Ant, Scorpion, Worker Bee, Mayfly, and Centipede. As for the warden, his image is more similar to a moth."
Yuantai discovered the blind spot: "Huh? But how are the bugs going to survive on the ice? They'll freeze to death!"
Mitsuhiko helplessly reminded: "Genta, those are just code names. They are human, not real bugs."
After some discussion, the topic returned to Officer Yumi's letter. She said she had no idea where she had thrown it away.
Just as Officer Yumei got out of the car to deal with a minor dispute, Officer Miaozi received a call in the car.
"Hey, what did you say? Someone died? But I'm a traffic policeman!"
Conan, noticing this, immediately asked if the crime scene was nearby. After learning that the location was the Yingmihua Building, he immediately took the rest of the people to the destination.
After hearing about this incident, Officer Yumi, who had just returned from handling a dispute, immediately asked Officer Miaozi to drive there.
