When he saw Conan Edogawa, Matsue Shigure knew that he would definitely not walk out of this bathroom unscathed today.

You have to pay the price! (Deep face)

He had to give a reason that Conan could believe in order to avoid further trouble, but this reason was -

Matsue Shigure: "How can I say normal words in the character of "Hacker"! When he gets angry, he dares to criticize Gin!"

God knows why A is so silent in front of Gin. Isn't it because he is worried that he will die after he taunts Gin to the maximum?

Matsue Shigure still remembers that he and Bourbon went on a mission before. Bourbon was jealous and had a brain storm because of his hacking skills, and he almost burned out his CPU.

Because he felt a little empathy for the face that looked similar to the first-round student Furuya Zero, he wanted to explain that he wouldn't invade randomly unless there was nothing to do. However, Bourbon was so angry that he almost fought with him because the pre-chant of the [Hacker] character setting was too hateful.

Oh no, they fought several times, and Bourbon was very powerful and hit the sore spots of his debuff every time.

At that time, Songjiang Shigure was just playing the game, and after being bullied several times, he started to fight with the Bourbon guy.

Although the past is too painful to recall now, it is enough to prove how fucked up this damn character correction is.

Songjiang Shigure held it in for a long time, almost breaking down the rhythm word by word, and choosing lines with a reluctantly soft tone before he managed to squeeze out two sentences that could be said to be very mysterious.

Anyway, once Edogawa Conan has deduced something, he will definitely be eager to verify it, and then he can just say what he wants.

He had a beautiful thought.

——Since the character’s speaking habits cannot be changed, then just go the riddle teller route and let the smart guy guess for himself.

However, Matsue Shigure had only said two sentences, and before he could add any further context, Edogawa Conan went straight into deep thought, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Songjiang Shigure's words were stuck in his throat, and he was a little confused: "Should I continue?"

System: “Keep going!”

***

"I--" After a while, Songjiang Xunye's voice sounded again hesitantly.

"Brother Songjiang, I understand." After thinking for a while, the little detective raised his head and said solemnly, "I will keep this matter a secret for you, you don't have to worry."

Songjiang·Want to continue acting·Shigure: “Ah?”

What can you understand from just two sentences?

Conan Edogawa said again: "Wait here for a while, I'll go out and take a look... If Mr. Amuro leaves, I'll let you know."

Songjiang Shigure was a little confused: "Okay...?"

He said to the system in his heart: "Is Conan so considerate and easy to talk to? What does he understand?"

System: "How should I know? What did you want just now?"

Matsue Shigure continued to be confused: "I don't know, I haven't finished yet! In fact, the general meaning I want to add is that Amuro Toru peeping into my privacy will make me very uneasy and scared, because there was a 'story' before, so Da Meyo, meet Da Meyo, and then Conan will understand?"

"It's so hard to say anything normal with this card [Hacker]. I racked my brains and came up with something weird, but I haven't polished it yet!"

He hasn't finished his story yet!!

"Anyway, the blame lies with Amuro Toru, it's not my fault - that's the point!"

System: "Maybe Conan is the king of understanding. You two are in perfect harmony with each other."

Matsue Shigure always felt something was strange, but Edogawa Conan had already finished speaking, so he had no chance to continue inquiring.

There were only a few seconds left before Cheka was defeated, but because of these few seconds, he couldn't make any other moves.

I could only watch the young detective walk out with a serious face.

The bathroom returned to silence again. Songjiang Shigure patted his chest and cut the card according to the time.

He murmured, "Very well, after dealing with this, I still have to report to my superiors... Tsk, Boss, do you think I look like that thing -" The president who is busy with many things.

System: "A sea king who has contracted a fish pond? A master of time management?"

Matsue Shigure: "Go, go, go!"

Forget it, just pass it, why think so much!

The optimistic golden retriever just muddles along and continues to happily sit on the toilet and play with his phone.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the light above my head suddenly went out.

Matsue Shigure: "Ah? Is this a trip? Luckily I'm fast at switching cards, so I don't need to force a debuff, hehe."

He turned the screen of his mobile phone to the brightest setting and continued to be happy.

Of course he didn't see that the little detective who had just turned the corner and the black-skinned man who had secretly turned off the power switch were standing outside the bathroom with deep eyes.

***

“…I’m afraid of him.”

Song Jiangxun's low voice echoed in the bathroom, sounding particularly erratic. Anyone could hear the awkwardness and confusion in his tone, as if he was facing a math problem that told him the answer but not the process.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Toru Amuro stood outside the door, his back pressed against the wall. He made no sound, but his hands tightly clasped the cold corners.

He has worked with Conan Edogawa to solve dozens of cases, if not hundreds. He knows this extremely curious little detective very well. He may come to the toilet, but he will never take the initiative to explain that there is no one in the toilet.

This method of trying to cover up something while making it more obvious is actually a tacit understanding they often use.

Conan Edogawa was curious about Matsue Shunya's affairs, and so was he, so a cooperative relationship was established inadvertently.

But Toru Amuro never expected that Matsue Shun would say such a thing.

When you see him using the computer, you think he will hurt you, and you even panic and hide in the toilet?

Is he treating Conan like a child?

This must be a lie—

More rational thoughts tried hard to occupy the platform, but the sentence "I'm afraid of him" with an unclear emotion suddenly made Amuro Toru's breathing stop.

Just like when a person has a bad premonition that always comes true, his inexplicable sixth sense is now stimulating his nerves. An incredibly strong intuition is swirling in his mind, quickly grabbing all his attention.

——Songjiang Xunye, is it A?

Amnesia. Once something is related to "memory", the complexity increases exponentially.

But if Song Jiangxun is also A who has lost his memory, then that data cannot be forcibly deleted in such a short time. But if he has memories, then is the personality he usually has just a disguise?

No, no, A is still a traitor executed by the organization. How dare he show up in Tokyo so brazenly?

Furiya Rei, calm down!

The blond young man silently recited the police code in his mind and his mind gradually became clear.

He thought about the past.

*Toru Amuro first met A in the spring three years ago, and A died in the midsummer two years ago.

All in all they had been together for a little over a year, and the latter half of that time was spent in mutual hatred and hurt.

But the only thing that Toru Amuro had no doubt about, and even felt admiration and fear for, was A's hacking skills.

In that soft room paved with sponge tiles, the display screens on the walls are like a symphony orchestra playing world-famous music. A is the conductor standing in the middle of it, watched by everyone. When his bony fingers land on the keyboard, the destructive power unleashed is far stronger than that of a sniper rifle.

Bourbon, who just got the code name, is young and energetic, and also sensitive and suspicious. He does not think that the organization assigning him a fixed partner is to share his tasks, but rather to monitor his movements.

Therefore, in the initial communication with A, Toru Amuro pretended that he did not exist except when he visited him for necessary tasks.

Until a very important incident happened - the arrest of a CIA undercover agent whose identity was exposed.

Rum said to him, "Bourbon, go to A and help him process intelligence. Sometimes that guy gets crazy and can be a bit dishonest. You have to keep an eye on him."

Amuro Toru was a little confused: "Crazy?"

Rum tapped his temple and said, "There's something wrong here, but it was cultivated in a short time, so it works."

This is an organization that spans centuries. How short the short period of time mentioned here is, Toru Amuro cannot guess, but he finds that the opinions of various people in the organization about A are varied.

He brought the order to A's small room, and the first thing he heard was the loud and anxious urging and cursing of other members.

The person being scolded sat in front of the screen and typed on the keyboard, his hood covering his figure tightly, as if he had a built-in protective shield.

Toru Amuro knew that saying hello was useless and would at most get a cold stare, so he simply took off his shoes and went in. He immediately saw the scorching data battlefield.

Green and red code characters flashed and collided, and a rapid low sound came from somewhere. The rotating light green dial seemed to be scanning a position. After capturing the light spot, it instantly turned red and was erased, and was soon replaced by another string of instructions.

Even though he was not proficient in computer technology, the intensity of the confrontation was obvious. Amuro Toru subconsciously held his breath just by watching, and cold sweat slowly broke out on his back.

He subconsciously glanced at the hacker sitting in the wheelchair. The other party still did not show his face, but changed into a black mask with stars painted on it. His calm cobalt blue eyes reflected a string of glittering characters, without any fluctuations, extremely empty and boring.

This didn't seem to be difficult for him.

A screen in the corner showed a bird's-eye view of the pursuit. A helicopter piloted by a CIA contact was swaying in the air and about to fall. Even the terrified expression of the undercover agent could be seen in detail.

It was the first time that Toru Amuro watched the whole thing, and he felt chilled to the core.

If A uses all his strength to investigate the most confidential documents of the police, will their identities be exposed?

Placing this kind of weapon in the organization is like putting a sharp blade in a plastic bag. It may reveal its cold light at any time and stab them directly without warning!

Although his heart was chilled by fear, Amuro Toru remained calm on the surface. He quickly understood why Rum had asked him to come over.

After all, A's uncooperative look meant that even if the field staff shouted at the top of their lungs, they still had no idea what A was doing.

With an indifferent expression, he picked up the communicator beside him, relayed the situation to the field staff, and then... watched as bullets penetrated the plane, creating a fire and completely taking away several lives like his.

After the last string of code was entered, the screen flashed and returned to its original calm state, with a light blue light flickering like a crystal clear sea.

Toru Amuro let go of the communicator and turned to look at the young man next to him.

A was like a student who couldn't wait to lie down to catch up on his sleep after hearing the bell for the end of class. His whole body was buried in the gray tent, and the only exposed part of his right hand was resting on the keyboard. His fingers were trembling and numb due to excessive rapid typing.

Amuro Toru frowned and walked up to him. "You should have some ointment, right? Where is it?"

A just raised his head and said coldly: "Get out when you're done."

Amuro Toru didn't move. He wanted to find out more about the exposure of the CIA undercover agent. He slowly said, "You——"

Unexpectedly, the next moment, A suddenly jumped up, grabbed Amuro Toru's collar and pulled him in front of him.

The blue eyes flashed with an extremely deep anger that he couldn't understand. A said in a hoarse voice, "What do you want to do? Do you want to teach me a bunch of meaningless sermons like those idiots?"

Amuro frowned. He could easily pull back his collar from the weak hand, but there was no need. He said, "I don't think so."

"Why is that?" A murmured nervously, then suddenly raised his voice and said firmly, "You are afraid of me, ha, you are afraid of my skills? Actually--"

Amuro Toru's nerves, which had been tense, collapsed halfway under the eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He directly shook off A's hand, letting the other party's hand hit the table, and stood up and said coldly: "Nonsense."

The young man who was interrupted by him was stunned for a moment, but soon said angrily and almost threateningly: "I hope you can always think so."

He certainly wouldn't treat people as tools, but Bourbon wasn't someone who would back down in the face of provocation.

The provocation was even more intense than when they first met. Toru Amuro directly grabbed the opponent's wrist and pulled it up, forcing the opponent to lean up, but because of the weakness of his legs, he hung awkwardly in the air.

The tension between the two gradually grew stronger, but A had no fear of being constrained. Sarcasm and ridicule kept pouring out from under his mask, and every word was heartbreaking. However, Toru Amuro completely detonated the bomb with just one sentence.

He once again shook off A's arm and said in a vicious tone: "With your appearance? Stand up and hit me?"

"Get out!"

A adjusted his position and sat in the wheelchair. His arm, which couldn't even bear the recoil of the gun, rested on the keyboard. His joints were red, but he looked like a king in his own territory. He said coldly, "Bourbon, you'd better stay so arrogant."

Toru Amuro sneered at the time, gave up the idea of ​​finding out, and slammed the door and walked out.

Then, that winter, he received the news of Morobushi Kagemitsu's death. It was said that the information was leaked. Hiro's identity as a public security undercover was directly revealed to the organization, and Gin was responsible for the execution.

He and Morobushi Jingguang do not belong to the same department in the public security department, and they will not be linked to each other if they are exposed, but most people know that Bourbon has a good relationship with Scotland.

After seeing A's skills, he asked the police to encrypt his and Hiro's data again, but they were still able to leak so accurately...

Only A!

From that moment on, Toru Amuro understood what A meant. He could not resist his own fate, but in another realm, he had never been afraid of anyone.

He is a heartless -- evil spirit.*

How could such a person be so scared by his act of looking up information that he hid in the bathroom and even whispered to a first grader that he was afraid of Toru Amuro.

Not to mention that Matsue Shun usually looks enthusiastic, sunny and brainless, and he would even be scolded by Enomoto Azusa for making extremely strange things according to the recipes he deliberately modified.

So, he must have been wrong.

Toru Amuro convinced himself with a very logical idea, but his heart, which had been hanging in the air, never settled down.

He quietly looked at Conan Edogawa who had just come out, without any explanation, turned around and turned off the power switch on this floor.

"Snap!" The room darkened and only a thin layer of light could be seen leaking in from the vent. However, for people who suffer from nyctophobia, it was far from enough.

But this time, there was no sound from inside.

How patient...

Toru Amuro's fingers twitched slightly. He closed his eyes and dragged Conan Edogawa, who looked confused, back to the door of the crime scene.

The author has something to say:

Let me see which little cuties were fooled by the cooperation between Director Ke and Touzi (dog head)

Shigure: Conan, Conan! What do you know? Tell me what you know.

Conan: Mr. Amuro! What do you know now?

Toru Amuro (bitter and vengeful): I don't quite understand.jpg

A world where everyone is hurt

ps: I want to emphasize again that Hiro is alive. I love him so much that I must give him the biggest surprise! (bushi)
