Conan Edogawa had no idea why things turned out like this.

This morning, he got up according to his usual schedule and listened to Kogoro Mori studying the affair case he had just received.

Then, Toru Amuro, the top disciple of Kogoro Mori, came to visit as usual and brought a delicious lunch sandwich...

Everything was perfect—until he received the "screaming call" from Haibara Ai.

"Edogawa! You need to come to the doctor's house right now! I've told you so many times that the FBI can't be trusted!"

"Wait, what happened?"

"I saw with my own eyes Akai Show kidnapped Matsue Shunya!" Huihara Ai said with almost gritted teeth, "Just now, hurry up, or I will really call the police!"

Conan Edogawa didn't even have the time to ask any questions before the call was hung up, and a puzzled voice came from Toru Amuro behind him.

"...Matsujiang Xunya? FBI?"

"Kidnap?"

Edogawa Conan's eyes suddenly went dark and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

****

then--

"Mr. Akai, Mr. Amuro, please stop fighting!"

——This is my home!!

In the chaos, Conan Edogawa's voice sounded so weak and helpless.

In the middle of the living room not far from him, Shuichi Akai and Toru Amuro were fighting fiercely.

The cups and various small items on the tea table were swept to the ground, and the crackling sound continued.

One of them looked like he wanted to explain, but the other one didn't want to listen to him at all and looked like he wanted to beat him to death.

But soon, those who wanted to explain no longer wanted to explain.

"You say that the FBI is going too far, but don't you think that the police are also going too far?"

"Nonsense, look at what you have done! Do you still have any bottom line?"

“It’s unreasonable!”

The black-haired, green-eyed FBI agent had a stern face and soon began to fight back seriously.

“Ahhhh!”

Conan Edogawa fell into despair, and began to calculate how much it would cost to repair the house.

As for Haibara Ai, she had already taken over the initial task and was now huddled next to Matsue Shunya, not caring at all about the chaotic scene.

Conan Edogawa was also glad that she didn't continue to add fuel to the fire, otherwise it might not just be the living room that would be demolished.

****

In fact, we can’t really blame a few people for misunderstanding it at the beginning.

After all, the fact that Haibara Ai used the word "kidnapping" when she made the phone call already gave the incident a negative tone.

Although Conan Edogawa believes in Shuichi Akai's character, I believe no one can remain calm after opening the door and seeing that scene.

In particular, Haibara Ai and Amuro Toru, who are already extremely hostile to the FBI.

Amuro Toru knew that Matsue Shun also secretly had a public security identity, so he was not surprised that he would meet with the FBI...

He was just worried that he would suffer a loss if he went to see Shuichi Akai alone.

When the door opened, he saw a blond young man lying unconscious on the sofa.

——It was as if an ominous premonition had come true.

The first time Toru Amuro and Shunya Matsue met each other, the other was fainting from heatstroke. Naturally, they knew how poor his physical condition was and that it could not be compared with Shuichi Akai.

But seeing this scene which couldn't even be described as "wild", the string in his mind - was finally broken.

Even though the door opened with such a loud noise, Song Jiangxun was not awake. He just tilted his head subconsciously, exposing his entire face.

Toru Amuro saw that his lips were trembling uncomfortably, his wet hair stuck to his face, and his cheeks and neck were abnormally flushed.

Most of the blond young man's clothes had been lifted up, revealing his pale, thin, and scarred waist.

Akai Shuichi, who had taken off his disguise and looked particularly ferocious, was half-crouching next to Matsue Shunya, his eyes fixed on nowhere.

The FBI agent's hand, which usually held the gun, slid down along the young man's neck and finally rested on it.

It looked like an indescribable forced scene.

If he could explain it at first by taking care of someone with a fever, then when Amuro Toru took two steps closer and saw that Matsue Junya was tied to the sofa—

How do you explain this?!

Have you ever seen anyone tie a feverish patient to a sofa?

Toru Amuro rushed to Akai Shuichi and grabbed him by the collar.

At this time, he also heard Song Jiangxun moaning softly and saying indistinctly: "I don't want to do it anymore, let's finish it quickly..."

Amuro Toru completely lost his mind, clenched his fist and punched Akai Shuichi in the face——

*******

"Host, you dog host, please wake up quickly!" The system almost wailed, "If you keep going like this, I'm going to break down."

It has been in office for many years, but has never seen such a scene.

Is Matsue Shigure telling the truth? He is telling the truth!

But once this is said, it sounds as weird as it can be.

Why didn't it realize before that Songjiang Shigure doesn't match the style of this game? ?

The system saw that the Red Team was in a desperate internal conflict before it even came into contact with the organization, and the entire system was in a gloomy mood.

The dog was even more clueless than its host, whining, "I don't want to play this crappy game. Let the organization beat anyone who wants to... Woohoo, I want to drink fat otaku happy water and eat kebabs!!!"

The system cried, "Eat your head! If they continue to fight, we will be finished!"

"If the mission fails, you can't leave!"

As if he was finally stimulated by the broken electronic sound, Songjiang Shigure sat up in shock from his dying illness and put his consciousness back into his brain.

He suddenly opened his eyes: "No! Let me go!"

A cold towel fell on his face with a "pa" and was picked up hurriedly.

"Songjiang..." the brown-haired girl's trembling voice rang out.

"Xiao Ai?"

Matsue Shigure met Haibara Ai's eyes full of mixed emotions, and for a moment he felt like he was still in a dream.

Wait, isn't he handing over the mission to Shuichi Akai, and then...

then??

"Wuwuwu, dog host, do you know what you have done?" The system's mechanical voice cried so sincerely.

——【One sentence made Akai Shuichi and Amuro Toru fight to death for me.】

Matsue Shigure's pupils trembled: “???” What?

The player fell into a brief confusion amid the system's howling.

Then, he realized belatedly that he was tied up.

A shadow suddenly loomed over his head. He tilted his head back unconsciously and saw a group of people staring at him intently.

Matsue Shigure: “!”

Golden Retriever is scared.jpg

[Help! Hahahaha! What a weird scene! Akai is taking the blame again!]

[Is this a scene that a kitten can watch? Sihasiha (peeks through fingers)]

[Because he was too active, he was tied to the sofa. As a result, he was misunderstood. Hahahaha, Matsue Shigure is worthy of being known as the socialite of Nakajima (with a rose in his mouth)]

[Shit, this is so sad, my XP has been severely taken away]

[Matsue is so shabby! My wife is so sweet! My pants are flying!]

[Mr. Songjiang, I am your dog! !]

[I can already imagine what a devastating scene it will be when Songjiang wakes up, but now that he has no memory, he seems to be a little more relaxed. Whenever it comes to the instructor or A...bong!]

[She started crying while laughing. Toruko mistook it for the phrase 'when will it end', but it was actually Matsue who was talking about when the shadow of the organization would end... He wanted to die]

[Fuck, the smile is gradually disappearing.jpg]

[Even though his memory is incomplete, the shadow still haunts him. This world has only hurt him, so he naturally has no reason to stay. Not to mention... Subaru Akabane is already dead, and his partner will never come back (holds his hands)]

[Ooo ...

[No!! I really like the big golden retriever now QAQ]

[Now I just hope that Shigure doesn’t recover her memory, it hurts so much…]

[I'm already lying down and waiting for the knife to be cut. Anyway, it's still candy now, and I can eat it if it's candy (Anxiang)]

******

Songjiang Shiyu: An Xin.jpg

He had been untied at this moment and was sitting in the middle of the sofa, with Haibara Ai and Edogawa Conan sitting on both sides of him, and the other two were in front of him - applying medicine.

"So...what happened?"

Songjiang Shiyu couldn't help but cover his lips and cough a few times. It felt like a ball of cotton was stuck in his throat, and his voice became unusually hoarse.

Akai Shuichi's wig had fallen off somewhere long ago, and this was his most realistic appearance, except that the dark blue left eye socket made the painting look a little weird.

His olive green eyes swept over Amuro Toru who was sitting opposite him, and he said in a steady voice: "You had a high fever and passed out. As for where these people came from, I have no idea."

"I saw you fainted, and Conan and the others were there, so we came to check it out." Huibara lied with squinting eyes, her eyes full of condemnation, "How dare you go out in this condition?"

"Feel sorry……"

Songjiang Shiyu felt weak and short of breath.

He just listened to the system's chatter and knew that he had probably said something extraordinary.

He quickly clarified: "If I said something in a daze, please don't take it seriously! I like to talk nonsense when I have a fever..."

Several people paused at the same time.

Everyone present could be described as having keen observation skills.

Before Song Jiang Xun came to his senses, he almost shouted out in a broken voice, "No! Let me go!" - it didn't sound like nonsense at all.

The blond young man looked so scared and terrified at the time, as if not letting him leave would be an extremely terrifying thing.

But where to go? Who to beg?

Akai Shuichi, who had already asked many questions before, moved his fingers, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

His previous question only confirmed Songjiang Xunye's current thoughts and knew that his deep hatred for the organization was personal, but if he asked about the past...

Shuichi Akai admitted that there were indeed many things he didn't understand.

For example, the situation of Songjiang Xunye in the past two years was obviously not caused by the police, but more like the work of the organization.

But no matter how he investigated, he couldn't find anyone similar to Songjiang Xunye in the organization.

What's more, Song Jiang Xun's original identity was indeed a policeman, and a famous bomb disposal policeman.

In a place like that, no police officer can get out alive after their identity is exposed...

Shuichi Akai had never thought deeply about this matter before. He felt that the life trajectories of him and Shunya Matsue were like two straight lines that intersected briefly and then went their separate ways.

Therefore, this meeting seemed so unexpected.

But now that they have met, whether from the perspective of an ally against the organization or out of selfish motives, Akai Shuichi can no longer remain indifferent.

So where should we start our investigation?

He looked at the blond-haired dark-skinned man sitting next to him.

Two years ago, Toru Amuro should have witnessed everything on the ship.

****

Just because Shuichi Akai plans to conduct a secret investigation doesn't mean others will make the same choice.

Haibara Ai poured half a cup of warm water for Matsue Shigure.

As he reached out to take it, he heard the tea-haired girl suddenly ask, "What did you mean by 'No, let me go'?"

Songjiang Shigure's hands had been tied for a long time, and they were a little numb due to the blood circulation, but he blocked his sense of pain and didn't feel it at all.

Just as he grasped the wall of the cup, he heard Huibara Ai's question. His hands were shaking and the glass fell to the ground with a "bang".

Matsue Shigure was completely focused on the explanation. He reached out to pick up the cup and asked the system in a panic, "Is this over? Did I say this?"

The system was speechless and choked: "You cried and shouted that you wanted to quit the game. Should I be glad that you didn't tell me everything about the game?"

Matsue Shigure: "Ahhh! How do I explain this to them?"

System: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

Songjiang Shigure: Sugar-free whole wheat bread screams.jpg

Before he could come up with an excuse, he suddenly found himself being held down on both sides by two panic-stricken kids.

At the same time, Toru Amuro shouted, "Don't pick it up!"

"Matsue Xunye, are you an idiot?"

"Brother Songjiang, be careful!"

Huibara Ai grabbed his hand in panic, and felt the warm and soft touch from her fingertips.

Songjiang Shigure let out an "Ah!" and looked down belatedly, only to find that a piece of glass had almost pierced his nail, leaving a cut on the palm of his hand. Blood seeped out and dripped two drops onto the ground.

The system's hindsight expert: "I told you to turn on full pain shielding! I said at least 10%!"

"Everything was fine before!"

Songjiang Shiyu felt that he was simply an innocent person who made up for the loss after the loss, but looking at the eyes of several people, he still said repeatedly: "Open, open, open!"

Hiss! My hands hurt! My throat hurts too! Ugh!

Matsue Shigure and the system hugged each other and cried in their consciousness, but on the surface they just uttered "I'm sorry" in a meek manner.

"What I just said, um... should be..."

Songjiang Shiyu racked his brains to make up a story, but he hesitated and fell silent under the increasingly strange gazes of several people.

Help!

******

Hearing Huibara Ai's cold and lonely question, the blond young man shuddered all over, and the cup in his hand fell to the ground in an instant, making a crisp "pop" sound.

Toru Amuro watched as Matsue Shunya's face turned pale in an instant. The panic that his master had tried hard to suppress was fully revealed in his dull state due to fever.

Just because of one sentence.

His eyes, which had originally become clear, became confused again, as if they were entangled by those words and brought back bad memories of the past. He himself was trying hard to maintain the most basic rationality in front of them.

The blond young man seemed unaware of his problem as he bent down to pick up the broken glass on the ground.

He did not put it on the table in front of him like an ordinary person, but subconsciously curled up his fingers and grasped the sharp fragment in the palm of his hand.

Almost in an instant, bright red blood flowed out from his fingertips. Looking at the blood, Toru Amuro suddenly felt as if his whole body had been electrocuted, and even his breathing became disordered.

Before his brain could react, he shouted, "Don't pick it up!"

Not only him, but also the two little ones sitting next to Songjiang Xunye reacted at the same time and grabbed his hand that was about to reach down.

The blond young man's gaze switched between dullness and clarity. After he looked down and saw the wound on his hand, he realized that this was not normal behavior.

"Sorry..." Song Jiangxun uttered two words hoarsely, trying clumsily to explain his reaction just now, but he didn't know where to start.

His blond hair, wet with cold sweat, still stuck to his cheeks, and his trembling eyes seemed to be waiting for their judgment, like a golden retriever who had made a mistake and was waiting to be kicked out of the house.

Amuro Toru stood up consciously.

With a cold face, he picked up the gauze on the table and bent down to bandage Song Jiangxun's wound.

He could feel that Matsue Xunye was very nervous at the moment, his fingers were twitching unconsciously and his breathing was rapid. If it weren't for Haibara Ai and Edogawa Conan holding him back, he would have almost shrunk into the sofa.

The cold sweat mixed with the blood gave a cold and sticky feeling.

Ignoring his nervousness, Amuro Toru grabbed his hand forcefully and straightened his curled fingers bit by bit, revealing long and deep wounds.

While transferring his own warmth to him, he was also trying to comfort him.

The confusion in the blond young man's eyes gradually disappeared as he moved, and his expression became pitiful again.

Those blue eyes only reflected his appearance, which made Amuro Toru inexplicably think of his puppy Haro.

"Amuro-kun...hiss!"

Seeing the pain on Matsue Xun's face due to his deliberate squeezing, Amuro Toru felt a little more relaxed.

——His worst fears did not happen.

Fortunately, I still feel the pain.

But why did this happen? Isn't Song Jiangxun just a police officer?

Although Toru Amuro was about to burst out with fear and doubt, he said coldly on the surface: "You dare to run around alone after being burned like this? I think I have to tell Miss Xiaozi!"

"I was wrong!"

Matsue Xun immediately revealed a pitiful expression, completely unaware that Amuro Toru had deliberately poked his wound.

Conan Edogawa added fuel to the fire: "And he even picked up the glass with his bare hands, Brother Songjiang, can you please pay a little more attention to your body?"

It was unknown what Haibara Ai was thinking about, her face looked very bad, and she just sat there silently, her blue eyes staring at Matsue Xunye quietly.

The latter was obviously troubled by being besieged by three people. He begged for mercy in a daze, without any thought that he should be a reliable adult.

Shuichi Akai, who was silently tending to his wound, paused and looked at Toru Amuro's hand which had not yet been let go, his eyes gradually becoming deeper.

*****

"Speaking of which, Brother Songjiang, how come you know Mr. Akai?"

Conan Edogawa glanced at the FBI who had taken off their disguises and felt that they were quite catty.

Before Songjiang Shiyu could breathe a sigh of relief for having gotten away with it so smoothly, he suddenly became nervous again.

If only Akai Shuichi and Amuro Toru were present, his identity as a "public security officer" would have been exposed anyway, so it wouldn't matter if he told Conan, but there was still——

He subconsciously looked at Huibara Ai.

The brown-haired girl pursed her lower lip out of habit, and the darkness and fatigue under her eyes could not be concealed at all. It was obvious that she came out in a hurry to find him.

Or I can explain it to Shirley separately later...

Songjiang Shigure thought in a daze.

"Let me tell you." Akai Shuichi spoke lightly, saving him from embarrassment.

"Matsue's department has a cooperative relationship with the FBI, so I can't tell you the details. Mr. Amuro, you should know his identity, right?"

"Of course I know." Amuro Toru sneered and said in a sinister tone, "But you FBI, have you started to call each other by last names to establish a relationship the first time you meet?"

Shuichi Akai was too lazy to pay attention to him. He now had a bad impression of the entire public security department.

He looked at Songjiang Shigure and said, "I have already called the emergency number. You should have a good rest first. As for the work, I will come to you later."

Matsue Shigure felt Haibara Ai's hand holding his arm gradually tightening, and he responded "OK" repeatedly in a somewhat wolfish manner.

Ahhh! Goose girl, listen to my explanation!

Conan Edogawa's eyes widened instantly: "Wait! Brother Songjiang, you are not also a public security officer, right?"

Matsue Shigure felt extremely guilty. He quietly grabbed Huihara Ai's hand and shook it: "Yes."

The latter's grip was extremely strong.

Songjiang Shiyu looked at her pleadingly and mouthed: "Keep this a secret for me."

Haibara Ai's face looked particularly ugly. She looked at the blond young man's nervous eyes and was speechless for a while.

Public Security, why is it the Public Security... ?

What was A's previous identity?

…

"That's not right, Mr. Amuro, don't you know the identity of Brother Songjiang?"

Conan Edogawa looked at Toru Amuro in disbelief: "He was still investigating before... ugh!"

Amuro Toru felt that Akai Shuichi's gaze was becoming more and more meaningful. He covered Conan Edogawa's mouth, interrupting his output, and said with a fake smile: "I know now, no, okay!"

Conan Edogawa: "Mmmmm!"

Why does he feel like he has missed countless plots!

******

The arrival of the ambulance finally ended the chaotic meeting.

Although the doctor who came to rescue them, looking at the people in a frenzy, suspected that they were fighting in a group and even wanted to call the police.

Fortunately, both Toru Amuro and Shuichi Akai have good eloquence and can make up a series of reasons with cause and effect without changing their expressions.

System: "If you were as good at making up stories as them, you wouldn't have been hesitant for so long just now."

Matsue Shigure: "...Can you be a little more polite to the patient?"

System: "Oh my god, dear, it seems that this damn disease has blocked your eloquent mouth. Believe me, if I had a physical body, I would definitely kick this virus's ass!"

Matsue Shigure: “yue!”

Shuichi Akai and Toru Amuro had already dealt with each other hundreds of times, and their division of labor was clear. The former stayed in the apartment to check the information of the doctors who came to pick up the car, while the latter went to the hospital to settle the matter.

Haibara Ai has been worried about something, and Edogawa Conan is overwhelmed by the huge amount of information, but because of this, neither of them wants to get to the bottom of it.

Matsue Shigure breathed a sigh of relief when he was carried into the ambulance, and quickly reviewed the situation with the system.

Matsue Shigure: "Please tell me clearly what I said when I was dizzy!"

System: "You said something revealing, no, but if you said nothing..."

The style of the painting became even stranger with the addition of those few sentences.

Songjiang Shiyu closed his eyes with a fearless look on his face: "Just tell me, did I reveal my identity myself?"

The system thought for a moment and said, "This one doesn't exist."

Songjiang Shiyu suddenly smiled happily: "Oh, then the rest is not a big deal."

The system said slowly: "But, you kept muttering to Akai Shuichi for a long time, 'Akai Shuichi is not Akabane Subaru, Okiya Subaru is not Akabane Subaru'."

Matsue Shigure: "??!" Pupil Earthquake.jpg

Matsue Shigure: "Isn't that what you said?"

System: "I'm telling you this, not for you to say it out loud!!"

Matsue Shigure: “Ahhhh!”

System: "Stop howling! Think about how you're going to explain to Shirley that you're a public security officer! And Conan!"

Songjiang Shigure began to cry in silence again: "Wuwuwu, even if I die, that's fine."

*****

"Amuro-kun." When Toru Amuro was about to leave, Shuichi Akai called him.

The FBI agent who took off his disguise looked particularly silent and reserved, but at this moment, he did not hide his doubts.

Amuro Toru turned around and asked, "What?"

"Regarding Songjiang...you are very familiar with him, right?"

Toru Amuro frowned, not knowing what Akai Shuichi was planning.

"We are quite familiar with each other. What's wrong?"

Akai Shuichi's eyes were deep, and he lightly patted his collar, where there were traces of Matsue Xun's touch.

"Then do you know who Akabane Subaru is?"
