Chapter 101 Ke Xue's Farewell

"Amano Tsuru, 18 years old, from the countryside of Sendai. His last relative, his grandmother, passed away not long ago. Amano Seisai is his grandfather, who runs a small detective agency in Beika Town. It is not very famous and often does not receive commissions. But after he took over, this situation changed a little because he has a very sensitive cat that is good at finding missing cats. The cases he has experienced include the 'Death of a Famous Writer on a Full Moon Night', and he has a close relationship with Maori Kogoro..."

"Edogawa Conan..."

"Dazai Osamu..."

After this incident, Pei Zhen probably had his name on the government's list. After cooperating with some statements and inquiries, Pei Zhen returned to the detective agency. He could see that some people did not want to do something, but they just did not dare to do it. Those who can sit in that position are not stupid, and they naturally know what things can cause displeasure to people with positive basic qualities.

What's more, according to information received from the FBI later, it's not like they don't have the opportunity to contact the transcendent again, so why bother doing something that would displease him?

Of course, this might also be because Elliot gave Shuichi Akai a warning before he left.

In fact, compared to Amano Tsuru, Conan is even less investigated. His identity was really inserted into the system later, but in the end the Japanese government did nothing, so these small details were not revealed and they returned to their previous lives.

Elliot also returned to peace. The town expanded after they left, and more rules and residents moved into the new area. It was indeed as Furuya Rei said, he was not out of control of his own power. This body is composed of four silver cards. The last upgrade card eliminates all possible problems. Even though his experiences are not something that ordinary people can endure, his character makes all the loneliness and solitude become his stepping stones to success.

Pei Zhen seemed to be thinking about something. He looked at what he had achieved this time.

[Strange Stories from Beyond the World] [Silver Achievement]

"Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night and realized that the boundary between reality and dreams is not so clear? You fall into a dream, laughter and jokes echo in your ears, you come to the absurd world, see fake people dancing, shadows following, dolls screaming in the house, they paint the walls with blood, trample on life, morality becomes nothing, and human civilization is as fragile as glass. Here, rules surround you layer by layer, but you have to find a way of hope under its shackles."

“Welcome to a strange land outside the world. Here, you will experience a kind of stimulation that is very different from the existing social order. You will be tested both mentally and physically. After that, you will understand His greatness.”

The card shows Elliot drinking tea under the window of his cottage, with sunlight shining in from the window. Outside are clusters of brightly colored flowers. His long emerald hair, his flawless profile, and his slightly curled long eyelashes are all softened in the warm sunlight. He sits there seriously, like a god descending to earth.

Pei Zhen thought that even though this time it did not cause too much turmoil, he was still able to get the [Silver] achievement point, probably because of the strength of this vest. His very existence is a shock to the world order. If he really chooses one side, it is likely to have a more far-reaching impact.

Pei Zhen put it away. He had a feeling that this upgrade card might be used soon.

Time passed by as slowly as a snail and as fast as an arrow. If anything major happened during this period, it was that an elementary school student named Conan, who had been living in the Mori family, gathered everyone together one day and told them that he was going to study abroad with his parents.

When Pei Zhen heard the news for the first time, he was surprised and a little bit enlightened. Yes, the Black Organization has been destroyed, and it’s time for that person to come back. However, those elementary school students were crying very sadly. The core of the Young Detective Team had left, which also meant that a period of their youth had passed. They didn't quite understand this feeling yet, they just felt that the departure of their companions made them very sad.

Pei Zhen noticed that Xiaolan also shed a lot of tears, which made the pseudo-primary school student who had been pretending to be serious flustered for a while. And when it was all over, he came to him again.

With a complex look that didn't match his age, Conan stared at Pei Zhen and said, "I have to thank you for all this, Amano."

He no longer called him Brother Amano.

"What are you thanking me for?" Pei Zhen pretended to be confused.

Conan grinned: "Thank you for accepting my statement of being a child prodigy."

Even though he thought he had really fooled them with this explanation at the beginning, later on, he exposed too much in that alien space and some of his actions were too excessive. He didn't know what the other two people were thinking, but this person never asked him anything from beginning to end.

"Aren't you a child prodigy?" Pei Zhen asked doubtfully.

Conan looked at him and sighed. He walked over and patted his shoulder like an adult: "I was thinking that your personality is not suitable for being a detective."

Pei Zhen didn't say anything, and Conan sat next to him. "Sometimes, I feel like you're always on the sidelines. You don't participate, and you don't refuse. You do your job well, and you just watch over commissions that aren't yours. I've checked all the cases you've taken on since you opened your business. Except for those cat-hunting cases, your completion rate is 100%. One of them involved a murder case, and you solved it not long after."

"You are actually a person with strong reasoning ability, but you have never shown it." Just as he described to his father on the phone, "He is a special person who is used to combing his crane feathers, hiding all the shiny feathers under the gray feathers." Conan looked at him.

Pei Zhen remained silent, his eyes were cold.

Conan laughed, just as his father taught him on the phone: "If there is a person who is born with the sharpness of a wolf and the meticulous reasoning ability of a fox, but he just hides it under the silence of a sheep and the indifference of a crane, what do you think he is doing it for?"

Conan smacked his lips: "Aren't you exaggerating too much?"

Kudo Yusaku smiled: "I'm just giving an example. Just like I think, in the case of the famous writer Nagakawa Usuke that you passed by, he was able to do much more than that."

Conan pondered.

"Maybe it's not what he wants to do, but that's just his way of life." Kudo Yusaku said: "No one stipulates that another person must live a certain way. Society selects only those who are suitable for society. But you can't say that other people are wrong. Some people just don't like to socialize. That's their characteristic and there is no other meaning."

Conan thought about this and turned around: "But after going through so much, I think I was wrong too."

Pei Zhen looked at him sideways.

"There is no such thing as suitable or not suitable for detectives," he jumped down and said with high spirits, "Since there are detectives like me... like Kudo Shinichi who are young and energetic, there are also detectives who are taciturn and can see through the core at a glance. I can't use one model to fit everyone. This world is far more than the corner of my eyes. I shouldn't jump to conclusions easily."

Pei Zhen stared at him. He finally reached out his hand and patted Conan's outstretched palm: "Before leaving, you want to finish saying everything you have accumulated, right?"

Conan smiled even more brightly: "Perhaps I will be back soon in another form?"

This was the last time Conan appeared in public, and after that, no news was heard from him for a long time. Without Conan, there seemed to be fewer crimes in Beika Town. Kogoro Mouri had more time to drink, and fewer people came to him for commissions. Xiaolan was still taking care of her irresponsible father, and even the cafe downstairs became much quieter.

When no one noticed, the little brown-haired girl who was living in Dr. Agasa's house also disappeared unknowingly. She left without notifying anyone. The other children were even more sad because they had lost another good friend. Genta even lost some weight.

But then, a sudden piece of news blew Xiaolan out of her parting mood, that is -

Kudo Shinichi is back!

The media went wild. Countless interview invitations came in. Reporters blocked wherever he might appear. That handsome face appeared on various radio stations again. This time he was still full of energy and vitality, but compared to before, he lacked that smug look.

"After this period of time, I fully realized that..."

"Click." Pei Zhen changed the channel. Seeing his face disappear from the TV, another person beside him said anxiously: "Wait, the next one is the speech I have been thinking about for a long time, go and listen to it!"

Pei Zhen stroked his forehead and said in distress, "Why do you think I can accept something like that?"

Kudo Shinichi said innocently, "But I already knew the others. You are the only one I know with Conan. If I don't tell you who I am, do you want me to get to know you again as Kudo Shinichi?"

He smiled and said, "I think that's unnecessary. The Black Organization no longer exists anyway, so it doesn't matter if others know that I've become smaller. It's just that I'm a little shy, so I'm embarrassed to tell others." He scratched his face with his fingers and said shyly.

Pei Zhen shook his head and changed the channel.

In the TV station, Liu Sheng Mingche was unaware of the situation of his original body, and he did not have the various skills that other aliases had. For him, attracting more people's love was what he had to do. His job is to appear on screen more often and earn reputation points for the main body.

He was wearing a black leather jacket with the collar open, revealing his skin underneath. His short hair was scattered messily in front of his forehead, making his eyebrows and eyes look deep and blurred. A sparkling earring was adorned on his earlobe, and when it swayed slightly, it seemed as if he was covered with a layer of rainbow light, which made people involuntarily focus their eyes on his young and handsome face.

"Bang." Someone pushed the door open from outside, and people from the company led several people in and stood in front of him. Liu Sheng Mingche looked up and saw that this was his teammate this time.
