The early morning sunlight did not have the scorching heat of summer, but brought a hint of warmth as it fell on the blond man.
Toru Amuro looked at his watch. It was five twenty-five in the morning.
There were not many early risers on the street, with the occasional exerciser jogging across the street. Most of the shops on both sides had their doors closed, standing quietly on both sides, as it was not yet business hours.
Toru Amuro drove slowly on the empty road, passing by closed shops, and finally stopped at a blue and white 24-hour convenience store.
"Welcome~" This convenience store operates on a double shift basis, so there is still a clerk standing at the counter. She is a woman with her hair tied up and wearing work clothes.
"I'd like a hot dog meal." Amuro Toru smiled and raised a finger. "One third of the salad dressing will be enough."
"Okay, wait a moment." The other party packed the food very skillfully and quickly handed the takeaway bag and the receipt to Amuro Toru. "Welcome to visit next time."
Tossing the hot dog set to the passenger seat, Toru Amuro's eyes were fixed on the receipt in his hand.
This is the receipt that the store always uses, and it clearly shows the price of the hot dog meal. Amuro Toru took out a very thin blade from his card pocket and carefully cut a slit in the upper left corner.
Using his fingernails to pry it open, Amuro Toru pulled the raised corner of the receipt and gently tore it open, revealing the piece of paper hidden inside.
【×43%678duwhqbw6】
At first glance, it was a string of gibberish. Amuro Toru took out his cell phone, logged into a book website very skillfully, typed the gibberish in the username field, and then entered the password.
The phone screen went black for a while, and Amuro Toru waited patiently. He knew that at this moment, the hidden software installed in the phone was blocked, and all operation records were cleared to prevent others from peeking at the screen and tracking him. He was still very confident in that person's skills.
After about two and a half minutes, the screen gradually lit up and a dialog box appeared.
【#木#: For this mission, everything will remain the same as we discussed last time. 】
Toru Amuro typed and replied:
【#0#: Received. 】
【#木#:How are you doing recently? Everything is going well, stay safe. 】
【#0#:Well, everything is fine. 】
【#木#: If the police intervene directly, what are the chances of you being exposed? 】
Amuro Toru raised the corners of his lips slightly.
【#0#: Don't worry, the chance is very small. After all, there's a newcomer, so...】
【#木#: I understand. Then I will send you the surveillance data of the five districts you requested. 】
The screen showed the progress of the transmission. Amuro Toru put his phone aside. He unscrewed the water cup and placed it on the car's storage slot. He took out a lighter and lit a corner of the paper.
"..." The flames quickly devoured the thin piece of paper, and the dancing flames swayed in his cold purple-gray eyes.
The fingers that were holding the paper loosened, and the last flame turned into embers and fell into the water cup, leaving no trace.
After seeing Conan off, you returned to your room, turned on your computer and operated it for a while. After checking that there was no problem, you shut down the computer and put away the computer bag - after all, you will be using it frequently in the future, so you should eliminate any possible monitoring software first.
After taking a sip of water to moisten your dry throat, you took out your special cell phone.
Now is the time to look at what happened.
The comic content is updated synchronously to the scene where Conan bids farewell to you, and the previous part is the plot related to the case.
The table next to Conan and his friends was where the deceased Nakajira was sitting. Eating with her was a decadent-looking man named Kuwatani Fuichi, and a short girl with light hair named Yada Reina. Surprisingly, her tall senior schoolmate Yakushimaru Ryutsuki was also sitting at this table, but she didn't look very happy.
You: “…” Ah, the third one has to choose one.
Conan was sitting closest to them, so he heard their conversation. From the comic description, you can know that Fuichi Kuwatani was a pianist before, but now he is an unemployed vagrant.
No wonder it looks a bit decadent, you think.
The way he and Zhong Juyao get along with each other makes you, as an outsider, feel a little strange, and you don’t know what their relationship is.
Reina Yada and Haruka Nakai belong to the same band and are colleagues.
You know that Yakushimaru Ryutsuki is the deceased's senior. She always looks angry and is a street artist.
"..." From this point of view, you still don't know who the murderer is. Other clues have not yet begun to unfold.
You think that after the police finish their first visit, the three most suspicious people will gather together, and that will be the time for Conan to display his skills.
Thinking about this, you scroll down to the forum to see if any big shot has already started to speculate and release clues.
【#Goddess, you have eight legs#: Free points fill-in-the-blank question: Wherever there is Conan, there is (). 】
【#绢仔只想做鹹魚#: Ahahahaha, I know the answer to the question above! Wherever there is Conan, there is a case! 】
【#饭团_#: Wow, there's a new character!! A nice and gentle little brother! I'm crazy about him!!! (Sonoko holding her heart jpg.)】
[#松江今日合嗎#: Unfortunately, I already have someone in my heart (smoking). Half of my heart is given to Jiang Lai and the other half is given to Song Tian. When the two of them are together, my heart is complete. 】
【#Daily memorial to Jiang Lai#: Upstairs, look at my name. 】
【#南慕#: Hahahahaha the person above has such a cruel heart. The heart of the person above the person above may never be complete (dog head) unless they meet in the underworld? 】
【#无情的蔣鳧機器#: Speaking of which, according to the official date, Jiang Lai died on December 24, right? Let me quickly write a Christmas Eve joke.
The night was very dark and Matsuda Jinpei did not turn on the lights. There was only a flickering red dot in the house and white smoke diffusing.
The closed windows kept all the laughter out.
In the silence in the house, the notification sound of the mobile phone was particularly clear.
Matsuda was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his hand to open his mobile phone - it was a new email notification.
He swiped his finger upwards and saw the scheduled email with Christmas Eve greetings that he had set in the morning. It was now exactly nine o'clock.
『#松田陣平#: May you be safe, not just today. 』
『#江萊(自动回回)#:Hello, I have received your email. I will read it as soon as possible and reply to you. ^_^』
"..." Matsuda tightened his clenched hands and forced a smile onto the corner of his mouth.
That's really too much, Jiang Lai. The automatic reply is really perfunctory.
Not even a word of blessing on Christmas Eve?
I will never forgive you. Matsuda said in a low voice. I will harass you with emails and text messages every Christmas Eve.
——Until the day you reply to me in person.
Okay, I feel good! Happy belated Christmas Eve to my sisters! 】
[#陌路千千夜#: ...you, I... (unable to speak) Christmas Eve is not happy (false smile jpg.)]
【#寻芳不覺#:Suddenly got a knife?! What's going on? What's going on? (Cat crying jpg.)
Run! Let’s change the topic quickly! Let’s talk about the new bookish boy! He’s so handsome, he must not be a supporting actor, right? (dog head)】
【#茗寒#: Hahaha good fellow, you can tell at first glance that he is not a supporting role! (And he is not in the three choices, so he is not appearing as a suspect!)】
【#虞酒#: I can do a little braid! I really want to pull his little braid! (Who doesn’t love a gentle guy?) (I also want to be helped up by him and see him smile at me) (dog head jpg.)]
【#若水#: I want to see him cry more than seeing him smile. Isn't it more charming when he cries? 】
【#·ω·)xひ#:What??? There’s something wrong with you upstairs (dog head jpg.)】
[#碧落#: Hahahaha what's going on, don't treat the new character that just appeared like this! (But my male god storage bag is already ready to add new members ww)]
【#降谷家雲豆#: Did you notice the camera at the front desk of the hotel (screenshot jpg.), combined with the blond man Conan asked, doesn't this guy look familiar? 】
[#禦坂9982号#: Ahhh! I remember now! It's the movie version of "Reversal of the Camp"! The blond-haired, dark-skinned handsome guy Toru Amuro! (Sudden pain in calf)]
【#有女如玉#: Ah, this, this, he is the red side or the black side? Since it is a reversal... could he be the red side? 】
【#achel#: The official only said that there was a character camp reversal, so it was called the reversed camp, but we don’t know who reversed and who didn’t, so… we can’t know whether Toru Amuro is on the red side or the black side. _(:з)∠)_】
[#江火如昔年#: Hiss——The plot suddenly gets exciting, main story warning! 】
【#dollars#: It feels like a bar... The new guy and he seem to be companions, yay, two bottles of real wine! Congratulations to the winery for adding two new good-looking guys! (dog head)】
【#月銀#: One true and one false is not bad!! I like the undercover plot!!】
[#大预测家#: ...Um, is there no one to discuss the murder plot? _(:з)∠)_]
[#予安#: Capture @大预测家! Murder case... There are too few clues, and it has not been unfolded yet. We have to wait until the next episode to start inferring~ (And compared to the daily life, the main plot is obviously more attractive (dog head jpg.)]
【#灵之玄月#: Be straightforward, handsome guys are more attractive. (Funny jpg)】
【#南塘#: One minute, I want all the information about this man (Boss frowns jpg.)】
【#Ratafee#: Ahahahaha, the boss vibe is here. I'm also waiting to find out the name of the new little brother. Come on, Sonoko! I must find out! 】
【#芋圆粗面#:Yuanzi can do it! Ask, ask, and get contact information! 】
[#鴿子湯吸溜吸溜#: But...if the other party is drunk, wouldn't it be dangerous (dog head)]
[#洛西西西#: The wine guys wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for ordinary people, right? Someone like Sonoko who isn't part of the main storyline should be fine, but Conan should be worried (Panda Head laughs wildly jpg.)]
【#-无熂-#: Hahahaha, if it's two bottles of wine, Conan-danger. Conan, keep a low profile! 】
[#鴿鴿#: Low profile? You are looking down on me, the reasoning anesthesiologist Edogawa! (dog head)]
[#白宿莽#: Hahaha what the hell is going on upstairs hahaha, I look forward to Conan being more courageous in his story haha (I’m so bad)]
The vibration of the text message notification on your regular phone draws your eyes away from the forum. You put away your special phone and take out your regular phone to check.
[#波本#: I'm not going back today. Pack up your things and meet me at the left door of Xinyuan Pavilion at 7pm. Mission completed. 】
"..." Didn't the police intervene...? How could it be completed successfully? You had nothing to do with it, but you were still very happy.
You quickly replied with an "OK", put your phone back in your pocket, and prepared to pack up the things in the house in advance. You must not be late.
At this moment, there is a sudden knock on the door. You look at the policeman who appears at the door again in confusion.
"Hello, sir. I'm sorry to bother you with coming back with us," the other party explained. "But don't worry, we just want you and a few others to get together and explain the known information to help Detective Maori solve the case."
"…" It's impossible to choose one out of four. You can tell at a glance that you don't understand the three-choice method. You complained in your heart, but you still smiled calmly: "Okay, no problem. Cooperate with the work."
The foreshadowing is revealed, and new characters are unlocked! See the new character information in the story~
The author has something to say:
I have already written down dozens of forum notes... So, don't worry, take your turn, _(:з)∠)_
This week to the beginning of January is the exam week and team building summary week, so I will update weekly in this half month_(:з)∠)_
Merry Christmas~ The next update should be on New Year's Day~ a New Year extra chapter hehe
Unlock new characters~
【Igarashi Bunsen】
(Note: All departments and positions in the world of science are fictitious~)
A graduate of the same period as the five members of the police academy, he used to work in the Information Division of the Metropolitan Police Department and was later transferred to the Police Department as a public security police officer. He is also a computer operation expert who has no connection with Zero - Igarashi Mori Izumi!
But he is still listed in the Information Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, and left a message saying "I can find you soon." (The foreshadowing at the end of Chapter 7! The mysterious character mentioned by Matsuda).
In Chapter 32, after the three rules were agreed upon, Xiao Jingguang mentioned the contact person (because the Metropolitan Police Department had an undercover agent, Jingguang did not contact anyone at the Metropolitan Police Department for safety reasons).
It is also the #wood# that is associated with Zero in this chapter.
What he knows:
Jingguang is still alive.
Zero's identity and undercover mission.
HLJ is Jingguang's assistant (but HLJ's specific identity is unknown, because the assistant's identity is only known to the public security officer who is in contact with him, and colleagues are not clear about it)
