Chapter 14



"Good morning."

After introducing themselves to each other, they finally stood at the door.

Conan Edogawa asked curiously, "Brother Matsue, you came here early in the morning - are you here to see Dr. Jiujing?"

After the toy factory incident, he met with Song Jiangxun many times, but the other party was always optimistic, as if he had never had any worries. I didn't expect that he would secretly come to see a psychologist...

No, speaking of that time when they were defusing the bomb in the elevator, Song Jiangxun showed an unusual side of himself.

——Serious, restless, and anxious, like a giant beast hidden under the turbulent sea.

Conan Edogawa couldn't help but widen his eyes a little more and scan the person in front of him more carefully.

Songjiang Shigure coughed lightly, kept smiling and avoided the main point: "It's really early, and you are...?"

It was very embarrassing; he never expected his boss to arrange the meeting in a place like this.

Although the psychological counseling room can be kept confidential and private, but! His reputation was completely lost on the way here!

"One of my father's clients said that some documents were left at Dr. Jiujing's place. She had to leave urgently, so she asked my father to help get it." Mao Lilan explained, "But maybe he came too early, and the door is not open yet."

Maori Kogoro crossed his arms and looked dissatisfied: "It's almost ten o'clock and he hasn't come to work yet. What kind of psychiatrist is so lazy..."

"Dad, don't say that!" Mao Lilan pulled his arm, "Haven't you called the assistant Ms. Maya Edogawa? I think she'll be here soon."

It was a rare occasion that Toru Amuro didn't adjust the atmosphere. He and Conan stood in almost the same posture, observing Matsue Shigure silently.

Someone being stared at: “…”

He opened the comic book after a long absence.

As expected, all events related to Conan will appear in the forum comics. According to the system, if this happens a few more times, he might even make his own appearance.

Matsue Shigure couldn't help but complain: "I don't want to at all. Doesn't going up mean that something will definitely happen?"

The system said slowly: "It's inevitable. Look, your contact person is probably in trouble."

[Ahhh! It's the character from the bombing case! I knew he wouldn't be cannon fodder if he was so conspicuous!]

[No one thinks he is cannon fodder. Judging from the attitude of the police academy team, he is probably connected to the main plot. He wants to dig out the main plot in Conan's daily life. The frequency of his appearance is already very pleasing...]

[Toruko is here too. This case is definitely related to the main plot. Stop betting on the previous game.]

[But according to Conan's law, assuming the victim is that Doctor Jiu Jing, there are at least three suspects. Excluding the common characters, this Songjiang is also a suspect!]

Matsue Shigure: "???"

How come he didn't understand it from the beginning to the end! How come he is the suspect? Isn't Amuro Toru suspicious?

While waiting for the assistant, a man named Daisuke Saikai arrived, claiming to be a patient scheduled by Dr. Jiu Jing.

Five minutes later, assistant Maya Edogawa arrived, unlocked the locked double doors with a key, and then—

"ah--!!"

"Sister Xiaolan, hurry up and call the police! Everyone else, stand at the door and don't move!"

Conan Edogawa, Kogoro Mori, and Toru Amuro, as if they had teleported, surrounded the corpse lying on the ground in a flash.

Matsue Shigure, who was completely confused from the beginning to the end, said: "...How could they do it so smoothly and quickly?"

The system silently held an electronic cigarette in the air: "Be more confident, maybe you can do it in the future."

Matsue Shigure: "I think it's better not to do this! Wait, my contact will be gone, how am I going to explain this to my boss?"

System: "Goodbye, Mom. I'm sailing tonight.jpg"

Songjiang Shigure: “…”

With Conan Edogawa and Kogoro Mori present, Toru Amuro actually didn't have a particularly urgent case. He seemed to be squatting down to look at the corpse, but he was actually watching Matsue Shunya's reaction with his peripheral vision.

The blond young man stood close to the glass door, his normally smiling face now straightened into a straight line, his blue eyes staring blankly at the corpse, somewhat uneasy.

His fingers left some wrinkles on his cuffs, a sign of anxiety.

As expected, Song Jiang Xun came to see Dr. Jiu Jing, but he could have just made up something to get away with it, but he chose to avoid it with a vague attitude. What shameful thing was going on?

Or was it that the other party never expected them to appear here and was caught off guard?

Last night he spent the whole night cleaning up and checking the information with Kazami, but still got nothing. This person seemed to have fallen from the sky, a mystery that attracted the attention of detectives, organizations, and the police.

Combined with the information from Matsuda, there must be a force behind Matsue Xunye.

It doesn't fit the style of the organization, but if it's the FBI or other overseas organizations... Amuro Toru took a deep breath. He really didn't want to fight against the insidious FBI of Akai Shuichi.

At this time, Conan Edogawa came up to him and whispered, "Amuro-nii, is there something wrong with Songjiang-nii? I see you seem to be distracted."

Amuro Toru turned his gaze back to the body and said calmly, "No, as a colleague, I was a little curious about why he came to see Dr. Jiu Jing. He should have been on duty this morning."

Conan Edogawa pricked up his ears: "What kind of colleague?"

Amuro Toru: “…My colleague from the cafe, tsk.”

This kid is very observant and curious. His warning would only push Conan Edogawa to go over, but if he didn't say anything he was afraid that Matsue Xun would also be bored.

What a hassle!

He couldn't help but glare at Conan Edogawa.

The little detective who received Amuro's telescope shook his head, but before he could say anything, Maori Kogoro grabbed him by the collar and threw him out: "I told you not to sneak around in the scene!"

Seeing that Maori Kogoro wanted to search the messy desk, Amuro Toru naturally walked over and said, "Teacher, leave this to me."

His eyes fell on the open computer, and his hand in his pocket tightly grasped the Trojan USB flash drive used to crack the password.

***

"Kuai Miwa, 47 years old, a well-known psychiatrist, died between 2 and 4 a.m. last night. The cause of death was suffocation. There were obvious Yoshikawa lines on her neck."

The police were searching for evidence at the scene. Inspector Megure took Takagi Wataru to question the suspect, and Matsue Shigure was naturally included in the queue.

He looked at Kogoro Mori and his group, who were the first to come and go without being suspected, and felt deeply the convenience of the protagonist's halo.

"Maya Egawa, Dr. Kuji's assistant, where were you last night? Can anyone tell me?"

Maya Egawa's face turned pale. "I slept at home all night, but I live alone and there is no one to prove it. But Mr. Police, I really can't kill Mr. Jiu Jing! Isn't this destroying my own job?"

"Daisuke Saikai, a boxer, what about you?"

Xi Hai Dajie was tall and strong, but his face was blue and his eyes were heavily covered with dark circles. "I have been resting too. I had an appointment yesterday, but I missed it because of some personal matters, so I decided to come and see you today."

"Songjiang... Uh, Brother Songjiang, why are you here again?"

Songjiang Shigure said quietly, "Am I so easily ignored?"

Officer Megure smiled awkwardly: "You were wearing a baseball cap that covered your face tightly, so I didn't see it at first. Where were you last night?"

Songjiang Shigure sighed: "I just got home at two o'clock last night and was getting ready to go to bed."

Maori Kogoro interrupted and laughed: "I already know the truth!"

Officer Megure's eyes lit up: "Brother Maori, wait a minute, do you want me to bring you a chair?"

The sleeping Kogoro Mouri is not asleep yet, so this reasoning is completely discounted!

"What chair do you want?"

Maori Kogoro glared and pointed at Matsue Shigure and said, "I can tell at a glance that this guy is here. He covered himself up so well this morning, sneaked here and didn't tell me his purpose. And he didn't get home until after 2 o'clock last night! Tell me, did you come here to kill Dr. Jiu Jing and come here this morning to destroy the body and the evidence?"

Matsue Shigure: “…Ah, this.” There were so many points to complain about that he didn’t know what to say for a moment.

[Hahaha, the Mao Li elimination method is online, Songjiang brother is out! ]

[Now it’s a choice between the two. I’m the one who’s going to give a dime to the assistant. It’s obvious that Jiu Jing is exploiting the assistant, making her unhappy, and then he calls her over in the middle of the night to kill her!]

[Lao Ke upstairs is obsessed with her, but if it was her, there would be no need for Xiaolan and the others to call before coming to open the door]

[I think the man is very likely to be the one, he is a strong boxer, and he looks like a suspect]

[But is no one curious about why Song Jiangxun didn't get home until 2 a.m.? What did he do last night?]

"Brother Maori, please stop making random inferences." Inspector Megure said helplessly, "Matsue-kun was with Amuro-kun last night, and he even called the police to handle a case with us..."

"And it was me who sent Matsue-kun back to the apartment at two in the morning." Amuro Toru's voice came.

Maori Kogoro shook his head in embarrassment: "Is that so?"

Conan Edogawa interrupted with some curiosity: "Did something happen last night? Why did Brother Matsue and Brother Amuro encounter a case?"

Gao Mushi squatted down subconsciously and said to him: "It's like this..."

Matsue Shigure, who was inexplicably called in for questioning and inexplicably cleared of suspicion, stood aside. He had just relaxed when he was startled by the sharp voice of the system.

System: "Quick, quick, quick, I think I saw Toru Amuro flipping through the files in the computer. People like him can't decipher the password but can directly break it. If there is something related to you in it, your identity will be exposed!"

Matsue Shigure was shocked: "Oh my god! He violated the law and discipline in front of the police. Amuro Toru is really awesome! No, do you know what kind of person he is?"

The system choked: "Isn't it because you say he is a bad guy every day!"

System: "Now is not the time to praise him. You have to hack into the computer before he does and delete your stuff. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if he finds an excuse to take it away."

No way? Now let him cut the card?

So what exactly did his boss give to Dr. Jiujing?

Songjiang Shigure looked at the people in the room and suffocated on the spot.

He has to run away quickly!!

Conan Edogawa, who was listening to Takagi Wataru talking about what happened last night, glanced aside and found that Matsue Shun was also walking hurriedly out of the corridor with a cell phone in his hand - his face looked unusually ugly, and he even tripped over the threshold.

***

Toru Amuro easily cracked the password of Dr. Kujii's computer using the Trojan horse in the USB flash drive. He was not worried about being discovered for doing these things. Having an identity as a detective who is familiar with the police has many advantages.

Doctor Jiu Jing died last night. He came to the psychological counseling room at two in the morning. There must be some urgent matter that needed to be handed over. Song Jiangxun also took a temporary leave this morning to switch shifts, which means that this was a sudden negotiation.

At least from Songjiang Xunye's perspective, it was sudden.

And what happened last night... was about him, or the organization.

Toru Amuro's eyes quickly scanned the lines of emails. Dr. Kuji was a very organized person. She would type the patient's name and save them in different categories.

Narrowing the scope to these two days, he found the one he wanted - "Songjiang".

Compared to other notes with full names and surnames, this short surname stands out.

Toru Amuro only felt a layer of sweat on his palms. The temptation of being one step closer to the truth was basically irresistible to anyone. He controlled the mouse and clicked on the email that had already been opened.

The first sentence at the beginning - We must help him climb out of the abyss, we must!

The bold exclamation mark almost confused Toru Amuro's eyes. His thoughts suddenly boiled over, and his fingers slid down habitually, wanting to see something more detailed.

I don't know if it was Dr. Kyuukawa's habit, but the entire document was written in English. As soon as Toru Amuro caught a few unfamiliar words that flashed by, he felt a flash before his eyes.

All of a sudden, the screen began to distort and change, as if someone had exploded the lines of text. Red, blue, and green colors jumped everywhere, and the screen distortion spread from bottom to top, swallowing up the document bit by bit.

Toru Amuro's face changed and he moved the mouse across the screen, but no matter what he clicked, he couldn't stop the extremely fast destruction. The entire document disappeared in front of him and even the host made a sharp sound.

He squatted down and tried to unplug the USB drive, but saw a streak of fire burst out from the connection.

"What happened!" The people nearby heard the noise and turned their attention over.

Amuro Toru forcibly pulled out the USB drive, and after shutting down the computer, he tried to restart it again, and smiled awkwardly: "Nothing, I made a mistake."

Inspector Megure said unhappily, "Brother Maori, I think you'd better not confuse young people..."

Maori Kogoro felt very wronged: "What? When did I ever teach him these things?"

The computer could still be restarted, but when Toru Amuro logged in again, he found that the email belonging to "Matsue" had become blank, without even a symbol left, and the purpose was extremely obvious.

The empty screen reflected his face covered in cold sweat.

The blond young man leaned back, slumped in the chair, and took a deep breath.

D…Amnesia?

Is this the word he just remembered?

Compared to the shock of seeing the document, another thing dug out from his memory dominated Toru Amuro's thoughts.

He was very familiar with this method of invasion. So familiar was it that when he saw the string of jumping garbled characters, he subconsciously wanted to turn his head to the side, looking for the figure in the cloak.

It was A's trick! It must be him!

He is still alive!
