Chapter 85 Sudden Disappearance

[Informant] is a card he had drawn before. The content of the card emphasized that "he" was elusive, but did not reveal more information about him.

"Okay, Yuhe." Pei Zhen was well-received of his informant who often changed his name.

After breakfast, Pei Zhen went to deal with matters at the detective agency. Recently, he started to take on some tracking and finding commissions, which brought him into contact with more people outside the plot, and his contact with Conan and the others became a little weaker.

He was like a young detective who had come to terms with his new life, learning to handle the various undertakings. Not every detective is a person of quick thinking. Most of them deal with daily trivial matters and then make a certain amount of money from them. To be honest, high school detectives like Kudo Shinichi are a minority among them. They must have both intelligence and background, as well as a certain amount of luck - a connection with criminal cases.

No one thought that such a person would be the "Colorless King".

He was like standing outside a play, watching the character he was playing interact with the people on the stage. Sometimes, he would wonder if he was really looking at all this calmly, or if he had been immersed in it, and because he was the only one sober while everyone else was drunk, he developed an unconscious arrogance?

No, he had none of that. Because from the very beginning when he came into this world, it was unfamiliarity and fear that drove him to act, and it was not until now that he felt a little relieved. This is also the reason why vests are created. He has never forgotten this.

After thinking about this, he turned his attention to a new commission.

…………

Dazai Osamu is inspecting a street. This is an ordinary alley in Yokohama City. On one side is the tall outer wall of the residential houses, and on the other side are grass and bushes that are half a person's height. The street is not long and has a corner. The environment is very quiet and it seems that no one will come to this corner for a long time.

Dazai Osamu was wearing his usual windbreaker, his hands in his pockets, and yawned, "Is this the place?"

The child held his clothes, holding a lollipop in one hand, and said hesitantly, "It should be."

Dazai glanced at him and said, "Don't hold out too much hope. It's been ten years. Even if there were any clues, they would have been gone long ago. You said that your parents also looked for it at first, but they couldn't find it, so they moved away from here."

After he finished speaking, he walked back and forth in the alley several times. However, seeing how lazy and careless he looked, it was hard to believe that he was really checking carefully. He walked back and said to the child, "Okay, there are no clues here. Do you have anything else?"

The child frowned, but finally took out something else.

This is an extremely blurry video. The environment inside is very similar to this place, except that the houses next to it are much shorter and older than here. There is also an old-style residence in the grass on the other side. The time in the video was around 2:30 in the afternoon. A figure about the same age as the child was walking in. He was carrying a schoolbag and looked like he had just got out of school.

He turned the corner and disappeared. And then, there is the image from another angle. From two-thirty to the next forty or fifty minutes, no figure walked out from the opposite side, as if he just entered, but the street was not responsible for letting him out.

"Zizi." Dazai clicked on the video several times and slowed it down several times. Finally, he took a deep look at the contents of the video, touched his chin, and said to the child, "This should be what the police found out, right?"

The child took a bite of the lollipop and said naively, "I don't know. I found it from my dad and grandpa."

This time, Dazai Osamu was not so perfunctory, but his seriousness was not apparent. He looked up and searched the surrounding surveillance cameras, and finally came to the conclusion, "This should have been filmed privately at that time, and these were accidentally recorded. This is nothing, but this disappearance..."

A smile appeared on his face: "It's not some acquaintance kidnapping or trafficking..."

"Bang!" Suddenly, a distant explosion sounded in the city. Dazai Osamu's face instantly darkened. His previous thoughts were interrupted. He was a little annoyed: "Don't these two guys really know what a break is?"

"Mr. Mori is really useless," he thought to himself, "After being cut down, even the most basic order in the city's 'night' can't be maintained. What's the point of the Mafia's existence? We might as well just arrest them all!" He let out a soft "tsk".

…………

Akai Shuichi and Furuya Rei are facing off. The FBI has many bases in Japan, but most of them are not known to the public, especially to public security members like Furuya Rei. Shuichi Akai received the invitation after he came to Japan. One morning, it appeared quietly at the head of his bed, without any movement or footprints. According to the leader who had just taken the top position in the FBI, the ability of that transcendent was quite dangerous, and this invitation was not only an invitation, but also a test.

He wanted to ask more, but the leader stopped talking. He said that they didn't actually have much contact with each other, and Shuichi Akai was the first person to receive his invitation, and he didn't know what would happen next.

Shuichi Akai has already checked and there is nothing wrong with the invitation, so the danger can only be something imminent.

It is impossible for Japan to turn a blind eye to such things. In addition to the Transcendent himself, the variables he brings are also likely to have a huge impact on them. "A person who can influence the country" is not just a title.

During this period, the police have been monitoring him. Furiya Rei is the most brazen one among them. He had witnessed everything, knew the inside story, and had just escaped from the vortex of the Black Organization. He had communicated with Akai Shuichi, so he was the perfect person to monitor him.

"Write the name down or tear it up?" It was Judy who spoke. She and James were one of the few friends and colleagues he had in this country. He waited for a long time, until today, when he finally got a feeling from it, "It's time." The owner of the invitation was inviting him.

"You don't have to do anything." Looking at the invitation that had begun to glow slightly, Akai Hideichi said intently, "Tearing up the invitation is disrespectful to the host."

Judy's worry was palpable. "Do we really want to do this? Can't we just let someone else go?"

James shook his head and answered for Akai Shuichi: "What's important is not the invitation, but the promise Shuichi made at that time. That transcendent is not a fool. Deceiving him will only bring his wrath."

Akai Shuichi calmed down and watched the light from the invitation in his hand grow brighter and brighter, but always very soft. He said softly, "I came here to fulfill a promise."

In a trance, he seemed to see a layer of ripples being opened in front of him, and through it, he seemed to feel another layer of space. His body was drawn forward, unable to resist the force.

But at this moment, through some mysterious connection, he suddenly heard an abrupt and excited shout: "Haha, I caught you!"

The suction collapsed instantly, and the previous calm was broken. Judy and James outside felt a blinding light, and the surrounding space began to turbulent. Faintly, objects were distorted in their sight, and their faces were filled with horror.

"What happened?" A stern questioning voice rang in their ears. It turned out to be the Japanese public security officer who had been monitoring them recently. He ran to their side at some point, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"We don't know either," James replied hastily, "It was fine at the beginning..."

Judy was calmer. She said, "It doesn't seem like this is our problem..."

"Stop!" Furugaya Rei looked at this scene and wanted to step forward quickly. But Akai Shuichi could no longer hear anything. After that voice, he seemed to have suffered the most direct impact and fell into a coma instantly. And then, the change spread instantly, covering a distance of hundreds of meters around in a few microseconds. Before anyone could react, it shrank instantly, from hundreds of meters to a point, and after a brief pause, it completely disappeared into the air.

Only an empty room was left. Judy, Furuya Rei and the other three who were here before also disappeared completely.

It didn't take long at all before the alarm bells in Japan rang loudly, and a message was quickly transmitted: "In Beihua Town, with a certain monitored target as the center point, all the people in the hundreds of households around have disappeared!"

His superior lost his composure instantly. He hastily read the news and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Go ask the Yuzhu Tower for instructions... Also, contact the FBI and ask them to give us an explanation!"

Not to mention the chaos outside, this incident was probably beyond the expectations of many people. For Dazai Osamu, he never expected that he would meet someone he absolutely did not want to meet while just investigating a missing case that happened ten years ago. Moreover, after a strange ripple, he fell into a coma as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.

"Oops, this is a fluctuation in space..."

"I knew there was another space here!" Before falling asleep, he seemed to hear someone familiar: "I couldn't find it last time, but this time you finally came out!"

A name flashed through his mind. Then, he knew nothing at all.

And if he knew what happened in the other city, he would be surprised to find that he and those affected families actually disappeared at the same time!

But no one noticed this. There was only a lonely little child still waiting at the intersection, waiting for the detective in the windbreaker to bring him good news.

Conan didn't know what happened. He just felt a wave sweeping past him and then he fell into a coma. He didn't know what time it was, and when he woke up again, he found himself in a strange place. This is not a city, but more like a town.

"What happened?" He was a little confused, but soon he realized that what happened to him was probably not an isolated case, and his expression became serious.
