Seven years ago, timeline.
Fujiwara Yu was diligently searching for the Child of Destiny named "Edogawa Conan," believing that only by finding him could he gain permanent residency in...
Fuchu City Racecourse, an independent building on the north side.
Following the clues provided by the high school girl, Fujiwara Yu finally groped his way to the side of the building. He looked around and found that there was only one place to enter. It was indeed a good stronghold that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
After making sure there was no movement inside, he reached out and pressed the door handle. He was mentally prepared to "find a way to pick the lock", but he didn't know that the door was actually open.
Could it be that the girl left the door unlocked when she left? Or did this group of people think the police wouldn't come and were so arrogant that they didn't even need to lock the door?
Fujiwara Yu's face darkened when he thought of this. He pushed the door as gently as possible, and when he heard the creaking sound, his mood dropped to the bottom.
Realizing that hiding was pointless, he quickly pushed the door open and stood aside alertly, listening for any movement inside. However, he heard nothing, as if there was no one in the room.
The fact is that there was no one in the house.
Fujiwara Yu stood at the door and found that the space inside the house was very limited. It looked like an ordinary smoking room. The air was filled with the smell of cigarettes, which made him try to use the power of wind to keep fresh air around him.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do that because he noticed a flashing red dot in the corner of the ceiling opposite the door. It was a working surveillance camera. So the reason why no one was guarding here was that every move here was being monitored.
He was never one to sit still and wait for death. Even now, even if he was being watched, he was determined to find the path to the secret room. With the power of the wind, if he couldn't defeat someone, couldn't he just run? He was a runner.
"Um?"
After groping around in the room, Fujiwara Yu suddenly found that the bookshelf against the wall was a bit strange. There was actually a gold-plated dolphin ornament placed on the bookshelf. It was not because of the gold plating that was strange, but the ornament was connected to the bookshelf.
Confused, he turned the dolphin ornament in a super-clockwise direction. Unexpectedly, the bookshelf also moved during the rotation, revealing the space behind the bookshelf, which was the passage to the basement.
Fujiwara Yu licked his lips. He really didn't expect that such a design would be adopted here. He frowned slightly and thought - at this time, he should seek help from the police, and he didn't know what the situation was on Matsuda's side.
But just as he was about to evacuate, a strange sound came from the passage where the soundproof wall had been removed.
Sizzle.
Boom!
The sound of a chair being dragged, followed by the sound of a blunt object hitting something? No, it was more like the heavy sound of something falling to the ground.
Before Fujiwara Yu could make an accurate judgment, he heard the girl's sobbing and wailing plea.
[“Wuwuwu… Please, I’ll do anything for you, just stop hitting me… I’ll do whatever you say…”]
How could he remain calm after hearing such a voice? If he went to get help now, what kind of torture would the girl have to endure?
He walked quickly towards the dim passage and went down the stairs. When he reached the second underground floor, he saw a dim light. It was as if the lights were not available and could only illuminate a limited area.
Fujiwara Yu stared coldly at the closed wooden door in front of him. After hearing the sound of whipping, he did not choose to continue hiding and directly kicked the wooden door in front of him.
The thick wooden door collapsed with a loud bang from the second sideways kick, sending a shower of wood chips flying into the house. He wore a look of disgust and waved his hands in front of him twice, trying to keep the dust and wood chips as far away from him as possible.
“…You’re finally here.”
Finally here?
Fujiwara Yuu noticed the person standing in front of him was looking behind him. He realized something was amiss and noticed the mirror behind him had been moved. As the baseball bat was about to fall on him, he quickly dodged to the side and, just as the opponent's attack missed, punched him in the temple, ensuring he fainted and lost his fighting ability.
He looked up at the ferocious people in the room, and a drop of sweat fell on his forehead. As expected, there were more kidnappers than he had imagined, and they had no advantage in numbers.
So what should we do next?
——
Yoshihiro Kajiyama must have some strengths to be able to become a member of the Dolphin Club at such a young age.
He took advantage of his rather handsome face and specifically targeted girls who did not participate in club activities and had a boring spare time life. Japanese female high school students who are in their youth are often attracted to handsome adult men.
He tricked the girls into sneaking out of their homes at night and kidnapped them on their way to the rendezvous. Of course, the reason for doing this was naturally to get promoted and consolidate his position in the Dolphin Club.
But today, there was a small mistake. When choosing the target, I actually chose the best friend of the previous targets. It took a lot of effort to get her into the car.
However, Yoshihiro Kajiyama did not expect that there were two fish that had escaped the net on the street, and one of them should be the fair-skinned young man in front of him, who looked about the same age as himself.
But unfortunately - he had been prepared for a long time and did not need to be afraid of the opponent's aggressive attack.
"Hey, you look pretty good, huh? Where are you from, little brother?"
Fujiwara Yuu didn't think the other party wanted to chat with him. He twisted his neck twice, staring straight ahead with an expressionless face and said:
"There's nothing much to talk about between us. Hurry up and finish this because I have to go back to school to clean the bathhouse."
Yoshihiro Kajiyama raised his eyebrows and thought the young man in front of him was quite interesting. He naturally knew what schools there were in this area. Apart from the Fuchu Girls' High School he was hunting, the only other school was the Metropolitan Police Academy.
