"Scarecrow?" Yuantai asked with a puzzled face, "Isn't that his online nickname?"
Bumi thought about it for a moment, "Whether it's on the UL chat software or on the blog, Brother Chi seems to have always used 'Scarecrow' as his online nickname."
"I'm not talking about the Internet nickname, but that song..." Conan thought of the weird song and quickly reacted, "Because that song has a weird style, that kind of song won't be played on the streets or in shopping malls. , we rarely mention it to children, so you probably don’t have much of an impression..."
"Ah, I know!" Mitsuhiko's eyes lit up, "It's that English song, right? The song is a chorus of a woman and a little girl, singing 'run fast', 'hide' and so on in English. It feels like Somewhat eerie..."
Genta listened to Mitsuhiko's description and imagined the plot of a horror movie. He felt the cold wind penetrate the thick cotton clothes on his body, touched his sleeves, and tried to remember, "Is there such a song?"
"I also remembered that there seems to be such a song," Ayumi smiled awkwardly, "I was shocked when I started listening to that song, and I didn't dare to listen to it again..."
"It's better for children not to listen to that kind of music," Haihara Ai said. Suddenly, he found Dr. Ali standing nearby with an ugly expression on his face. He asked doubtfully, "Doctor? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No……"
Dr. A Li was covered in cold sweat. He couldn't help but shudder when the cold winter wind blew him. He completely woke up and looked at Conan hesitantly. He quickly turned to the three children who were looking at him with concern. He laughed and said, "When I think about that song now, I still feel a little scary!"
"Does even a doctor find it scary?" Yuantai recalled with a confused frown, "How come I haven't heard of it..."
"Have you really never heard it? Genta," Mitsuhiko reminded with some surprise, "There is a very harsh, screaming noise at the end of that song. Once you hear it, you will never forget it... …”
Conan and Haibara Ai did not participate in the three children's discussion about the song, and looked at Dr. Agasa in confusion.
After the three children's attention was diverted, Dr. A Li breathed a sigh of relief, put away the unnatural smile on his face, and looked at Haibara Ai with some hesitation. After thinking about it, he decided to speak directly and leaned over to face her. Conan and Haihara Ai whispered, "To be honest, the song I was thinking of was "Seven Children"..."
The relaxed expression on Conan's face froze, and he looked at Dr. Ali with surprise and a little daze in his eyes, "What, what?"
Dr. Ali was not surprised by Conan's reaction. He turned his head to look at the riverbank walkway not far away and whispered, "It's the nursery rhyme about the boss in black. When I was in elementary school at Didan Elementary School, , I walked home from this road with my classmates several times. At that time, there were children from other grades and classes on the road. We often sang songs together under the sunset. At that time, there were not many songs suitable for children to sing. In music class, the teacher taught us to sing nursery rhymes, and the song "Seven Children" is easy to learn and sing. Most of the students can sing it. As long as someone starts it on the way home, everyone can sing along with the melody... …”
Haiyuan Ai quickly came back to her senses and turned to look at the river embankment walking path, "So when you see children walking together along the river embankment, you suddenly think of the way to school in your childhood, and you seem to hear the children singing again. The song "Seven Children", right?"
"That's right, I didn't want to mention that song originally, so as not to affect your mood," Dr. A Li looked more worried, "but..."
"But "Scarecrow" written by Brother Chi, one of the lyrics of that song is 'As the crows make night of the fading sun' - when the crows crow at dusk," Conan said while staring at the river embankment walkway and frowning. The question in Dr. A Li's mind is, "At dusk, crows crow, which matches the key words in your childhood memory, Doctor..."
"Yes, just now you said that Fei Chi looked at Hedi Road from the building over there and asked if you heard any singing, which made me have a strange feeling. Then you asked Fei Chi what singing he heard, and Fei Chi Talking about "Scarecrow", and the song "Scarecrow" mentioned the dusk and the crow of crows..." Dr. Ali hesitated, "It makes me feel even weirder. I don't know if it's a coincidence."
"Last time we went to the rooftop vegetable garden, "Scarecrow" had not been released yet, and I had never heard of that song before. Brother Chi told me about 'Scarecrow', but I didn't understand what he meant, and then he I started humming the tune and recorded the lyrics of the song on my mobile phone," Conan touched his chin with his right hand and recalled seriously, "The song "Scarecrow" should be a new song temporarily composed by Brother Chi. There are vegetable plots and scarecrows in the vegetable garden, and there are crows circling in the sky. It is not surprising that he would think of such lyrics. The problem is that the incident we encountered in the rooftop vegetable garden was in the afternoon, and there were still several hours until evening. Why did he Do you think of lyrics like 'crows crow at dusk'? The creation may indeed be mixed with the creator's imagination, but based on what you said, doctor, it cannot be ruled out that Brother Chi has seen scenes similar to your childhood memories. Look I saw a group of children singing "Seven Children" passing by Hedi Road in the evening... But if this is the case, the song that Brother Chi thought of should be full of childlike interest. Why did he think of a horror-style song like "Scarecrow"? Where are the songs?”
"You're right... maybe I'm overthinking it," Dr. Agasa scratched the back of his head and laughed dryly, "Actually, after I went to Aosui Middle School for junior high school, I rarely passed this road after school. I don’t know since when, children no longer sing "Seven Children" on the way to school. I passed by this embankment road several times during my college days and never heard any children singing that song on the road again. , Fei Chi is only twenty years old this year. In the years after he was born, there should be no children singing that song on the river embankment road. Therefore, even if Fei Chi once passed by this river embankment road, it would be impossible to hear it. There are children singing that song!”

"Is this so..."
Conan responded aloud, feeling even more confused.
It is impossible for Brother Chi to encounter children singing "Seven Children" on the river embankment road. Then, doesn't the song "Scarecrow" have any connection with "Seven Children"?
But if the two songs are connected, the lyrics of "Scarecrow" mention that when you hear the crow of crows in the evening, you should hide quickly... Could it mean - "Hurry and hide when you hear the melody of "Seven Children""
good'?
Is it because he cares so much about the organization that he makes preconceived ideas about it?
"Furthermore, the schools Fei Chi attended in elementary school and junior high school were not in the area of Yoneka Town or Aipido Town. He probably didn't have much chance to take this path when he was a child," Dr. Agasa thought seriously again, "He was in high school.
He studied at Aido High School and went to Toto University for college. He didn't need to pass through the river embankment road to get back to the apartment building where he lived from these two schools, so I think this may be just a coincidence.
I didn’t meet any children singing that song on this road. I just happened to think of a song with lyrics about dusk and crows at that time. And I was too concerned about the song "Seven Children" and I suddenly became nervous.
I got up and subconsciously associated the two songs together, which shocked myself."
Haiyuan saw Conan lowering his head in deep thought and did not speak.
She was also not sure whether "Scarecrow" written by Brother Chi was related to "Seven Children", but if Edogawa was more vigilant because of this, that would be a good thing.
Because ‘Scarecrow’ really has something to do with ‘Seven Children’.
"Didi!"
A red Lexus SC drove nearby, honked its horn and slowed down.
"Brother Chi is here!"
The three children cheered and waved eagerly to say hello.
