"Water, water officer!"

Conan swallowed subconsciously, and couldn't force a smile on his face covered with cold sweat.

The young man's black eyes were like a sky full of stars, not as silent as usual. After a few seconds, as if the connection was delayed, he paused for a few seconds before replying: "Ah, it's the little brother brought by the Maori detective. Why are you playing at the door? Is it too hot in there?"

Didn't you see what he did just now? You just thought it was a kid playing with his bow tie at the door...

Conan subconsciously wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he saw the pure black suit on him, half of his breath got stuck in his throat.

No, not necessarily! He said so many things outside, but this person just stood behind and watched. How could a normal person do that? Unless he was confirming or observing something...

Thinking of this, Conan immediately pinched his throat and said cutely: "My bow tie is stained with dust, and it won't blow it off no matter how hard I try. Uncle and the others are busy, and I can't go find him."

"Oh? Do you want me to help take a look?"

His voice was gentle, like a warm breeze, which made people feel good about him.

Shui Shang Che did not continue to lean against the wall, but coughed lightly and walked towards Conan. He just took a step forward, and the little guy seemed to have an electric shock and trembled all over.

"No! It's okay - I've already blown it off, ha, hahahaha..." Conan laughed awkwardly, "Why is the water police officer standing there?"

Mizukami Che said, "I feel a little dizzy after sitting for so long. I stand up slowly. It seems that Inspector Megure and his team should have solved this case. I just heard the voice of Detective Maori. It seems that he is not so unprofessional."

Seeing that the young man really seemed to be completely unaware, Conan could only temporarily skip over this topic that made him want to die on the spot, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, although the uncle is a bit nonsensical, he is actually quite capable of solving cases. He solved XXX and XXX's cases before."

Shui Shang Che also blinked, with a look of surprise on his face: "Then I was the one who made the first move. I will go and apologize to Mr. Mao Li later."

He looked down at the time, took out a bag of pills from his pocket, and swallowed them without even drinking water. It seemed that he had gotten used to it.

Conan Edogawa couldn't help but show his dead fish eyes.

Is this person's body serious? Can a police officer really go out on duty like this?

Seeing that Conan's expression was too obvious, Shui Shangche said helplessly: "Don't think I'm so weak. I have a reason to teach you a lesson."

Before he could ask again, Shui Shangche also walked over, picked up Conan and walked into the house, "It looks like it's over. Elementary school students should have homework too, right? Have you finished your homework today? Going back to study early is more promising than running around with the detective."

Conan was keenly aware that there was something strange in the tone of his voice when he said this, as if a clear night sky was suddenly covered by clouds and became gloomy.

He couldn't help but frown and grasped the key point of the words - did this man have any grudge against the detective?

After returning Conan to Kogoro Mouri and apologizing to him sincerely, Mizukami Che followed Inspector Megure and others back to the police station.

There was no such thing as a welcome party, but in reality the police were so busy with the sudden increase in cases that they had no time to spare for a party. Everyone just expressed their concern and welcome in a friendly manner, and that was it.

Because he looked really bad, Officer Megure forcibly sent Mizukami Che home to rest for half a day on his first day at work.

"Brother Shuishang, it's all thanks to your efforts that we solved the case today. We didn't lose the limelight to those detectives again. Go back and have a rest early. I'll need you to help with other cases in the future."

Shui Shang Che also nodded: "Ahem, if there are other cases, feel free to come to me, especially missing persons and kidnapping cases."

Inspector Megure was a little surprised: "Are you looking for someone? The files in the bureau——"

"No." The young man sighed lightly, and the mood around him was a little gloomy. "Officer Megure, don't take it too seriously. Just think of it as my imagination. I... am just waiting for someone to come back."

The young man turned and went into the apartment, and Inspector Megure suddenly remembered that this young and promising police chief seemed to have always been alone.

"Conan! Eat your meal well!" Xiaolan's crisp voice woke up Conan, who was holding his bowl in a daze, but was actually eavesdropping on the movements of the water police officer with a microphone.

He quickly picked up a piece of braised fish and stuffed it into his mouth, putting on a smile: "Sister Xiaolan made it so delicious!" Xiaolan was wearing an apron, with her hands on her hips, muttering unhappily: "Dad! Why do you have to bring Conan with you when you go out to solve the case? How can a child always see those scenes!"

Maori Kogoro knocked on the bowl and said unhappily, "He got into the trunk of my car by himself! Hey kid, what did you say to that water police officer? I felt something was wrong when I saw that pretty boy apologizing."

Conan uttered an "Ah" and was a little distracted: "I told you that you are actually quite good, uncle, and you have solved quite a few cases."

"He's a pretty good guy..." Maori Kogoro took a sip of beer, "If he wasn't too old, I think his face would be a good match for Xiaolan."

Xiaolan was so angry that she said, "Dad!"

Maori Kogoro said confidently: "Who told that brat Kudo Shinichi to disappear every now and then? How can such a man be trusted? At least the water police officer would apologize when he did something wrong. Kudo Shinichi hasn't called you for a long time, right?"

'I'm just waiting for someone to come back.'

"I'll wait for him to come back and explain it clearly!"

The voice in the headphones and Xiaolan's sweet and clear words intertwined together, making Conan Edogawa stunned.

He knew everything about Xiaolan, so who was Shui Shang Che waiting for?

…

Ryomiya Kazuki hung the suit with the eavesdropping device attached to it on the door and turned back to his consciousness.

He leaned back on the soft and comfortable sofa pillow. The system considerately prepared a plate of desserts for him, as well as the data sunflower seeds that he must eat when doing things.

"Finally finished--" Suzumiya Kazuki stretched his waist and said vaguely with a lollipop in his mouth, "How did you make the mint flavor of your fruit candy? It's a bit irritating to my throat when I swallow it in one mouthful."

System: "This is the flavor of the white pills. If you want a different flavor, you can try a different one."

Ryoumiya Heshu couldn't help laughing when he thought about Shui Shangche taking medicine in the future and taking out a bag of colorful pills. How seriously ill must one be to go through so much trouble?

"But it feels good to pretend to be sick. I don't have much time off. If I meet someone with a bad attitude, I can still get some money." He sighed lazily, "I made a mistake this time. I took the initiative to suppress that guy. I should have let him go and given others some opportunities to perform."

The system couldn't help but complain: "No wonder Anding only played a weak character. You directly added a debuff to him and made him seriously ill. In order to skip class——"

Suzumiya Kazuki supported himself with one hand and put the melon seeds in front of him: "You can't say that. I still have to take some time to bump into Conan. I want to use up my energy as soon as possible and go on vacation."

"The energy is now at 24%." The system said, "Conan is on vacation here, host, do you want to go to Tokyo? Or Yokohama is also fine, it doesn't cost much energy to use a vest."

Suzumiya Kazuki: "Are you a devil? Have you been brainwashed by the workaholic Lord God? You want me to work the night shift for such a crap thing as work?"

The system said without emotion: "The special sorcerer in Tokyo has already searched the Bankei Sect thoroughly. If you don't find a reason to stop his behavior, I am very worried that it will be a disaster. Especially Gojo Satoru's actions may break the plot and affect the subsequent direction."

"for example?"

System: "For example, if he expands the scope and finds Mihua here, he will bring the concept of cursed spirits into the world of science, and then your business scope will be even larger." It seemed to have suddenly realized something and said, "Have you figured it out, host? Gather all the protagonists of the world together with Conan as the main base to score points?"

Suzumiya Kazuki threw a pillow over and sat up depressed: "Don't be so weird to me, isn't my daily Conan line good enough? Why should I go into a bloody battle with them?"

Bringing Conan to other studios to destroy people's worldviews is fine, but bringing some kind of cursed spirit or supernatural power to the Conan studio would really cause big problems.

"Then I'll find time to go take a look." The black-haired boy, who had recovered his soul state, puffed his face in dissatisfaction, "Useless system, can the energy be discounted?"

"Don't say too much, just put on the whole vest and act out the memory."

Finally, it smells really good! The system thinks it has seen through the host's inner stubbornness and decides not to stimulate Ryoumiya Kazuki's frenetic state of working overtime.

It pretended to be calm and said: "You are in charge of your energy, and - a guest is coming."

The flag that said no to working night shifts fell in an instant.

At this time, Suzumiya Kazuki especially missed Nanami Kento, whom he had never met before. For no other reason than that the one who scolded him for working overtime was a good brother.

He responded weakly, transformed into Mizukami Cheye, slowly walked to the door and opened it.

The black-haired young man standing at the door was carrying a large black bag and asked awkwardly, "Is this Mr. Mizukami Cheye's house?"

The young man, half of his body covered in warm light, was a little surprised: "Ah, yes, may I ask who you are--?"

"My name is Edogawa Keimitsu. I have been asked to investigate some matters and protect you."

Mizukami Tetsuya's expression suddenly became a little strange, and he pronounced the words clearly: "Edogawa-Kagemitsu?"

Morofushi Jingguang felt a little embarrassed, but still kept smiling: "Yes."

He remembered that when he came out today, Edogawa Ranpo suddenly grabbed him and said, "Kagemitsu, how about changing your last name? For example, change your last name to Edogawa like me?"

He was wiping his □□ and asked in confusion, "Why?"

The world's smartest detective took out his glasses and put them on, saying half-seriously and half-jokingly, "Because people named Morobushi Jingguang will be targeted, I don't want you to run away with your client."

"Is it something about my previous life?" he asked anxiously.

Edogawa shook his head randomly: "You still have to think about your own memories yourself. Maybe there are things you are familiar with over there."

"Oh, by the way, the client said that Mizukami Tetsuya is not in good health. Don't use the disappearance of Ryoumiya Kazuki to provoke him."

Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at the vigilant look in front of him, and his helplessness was about to overflow. If he didn't explain the whole story, how could he get close to a criminal policeman? Would he send himself to jail?

"Is that so?" After hearing the affirmation from the man in front of him, Shui Shang Che regained his composure. There was not much smile on his gentle face, but a polite and unfamiliar look. "I don't need anyone's protection. Although I don't know who commissioned me, I think you should have done some research. I'm a policeman."

Zhu Fu Jingguang took out an ID and a letter of authorization from his pocket: "This is a certificate from our detective agency, and this is my bodyguard certificate."

Mizukami Che also said distantly: "I'm sorry, it's late at night, Mr. Edogawa should go to bed early."

Seeing the man in front of him trying to close the door without any courtesy, Zhu Fu Jingguang got angry and directly grabbed the door with one hand, blurting out: "Shui Shang police officer! I am penniless and homeless, can you take me in for one night?"

Mizukami Tetsuya: ? Thanks for the invitation. It’s not impossible to stay at the police station for a night.
