The surroundings were all white, and a small piece of skin had fallen off the ceiling above, revealing a hollow hole, like an eye lurking in the dark. The faint smell of disinfectant lingered around.
You don't like being in the hospital.
Your left arm still hurts a little, but it doesn't affect your normal movements. You think you can probably be discharged from the hospital today.
A few days ago, you used one hand to type and code, causing your right hand to ache slightly. And these days, Toru Amuro has been sending you private messages to ask you to check additional information.
You: “…” Just treat yourself as a tool! You can use it whenever you need it.
As a prospective college student, you have already experienced workplace bullying from your seniors_(:з)∠)_
After a moment of hesitation, you decide to bravely express your demands: [I have been on strike for the past few days and I am quitting. ]
The other party quickly replies to you: [Oh? ]
you:"……"
Don't give me a one-word reply like that... It's really stressful to let people guess your feelings.
[…It’s not convenient recently. ]
[#Bourbon#: Are you hurt? 】
Eh? You guessed it right. You were stunned.
[#Bourbon#: Apart from this, you don't seem to have any other possibility to reject me. 】
“…”
I have a temper too! You angrily thought that you must refuse to be a tool next time.
【#波本#: Take good rest and don't leave any sequelae. I can help you with the mission assigned by the organization. 】
"……"Ah, another sweet date... Although you guess that Amuro Toru's plan is also to gain more information about the organization, it is still a bit touching.
[It's okay, just a minor injury, it will be fine after a few days of rest. I can check the information another day.]
【#波本#:Okay, then give me the information in three days. 】
You: ??? I’m just being polite? ?
“Knock, knock, knock—” There was a moderate knock on the door. You turned off your phone and shouted, “Come in.”
The first thing he stepped into was a pair of exquisite brown and black leather British boots, followed by a dark brown long windbreaker with a raised lapel. He wore a deerstalker hat, carried a fruit basket in one hand, and held an exquisite pocket watch in the other: "...3 minutes and 6.25 seconds later than the expected arrival time."
you:???
The other person looked up and you saw his brown wavy hair: "Hello," he said, "I'm Baiba Detective."
When you hear this name, your first reaction is - it is indeed a pocket watch master! It really tells the time accurately!
You know Hakuba, who was studying in England and then went back and forth to Japan. He was in the same class as Kaito, and was also a high school detective. He often wore a Sherlock Holmes costume, and he and Kaito were both enemies and friends. His father was the Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police Department - you strangely remembered that Matsuda became a policeman in order to beat up the Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police Department.
But why did Hakuba come here...?
“Hello…?” You replied politely, sounding a little confused. “Did you walk into the wrong room? We don’t know each other.”
"Yes, we didn't know each other before, but now we can get to know each other." The white horse detective walked into the house and put the fresh fruit basket on the table. "I am a detective. I have something to ask you. It will take about 30 minutes and 6.94 seconds. Thank you for your cooperation."
You were slightly startled.
He pulled out a chair nearby and sat down next to your bed. "Watanabe Weilai, 24 years old, owner of Iio Bookstore, fantasy novelist. Gentle and aloof personality, good at fighting, and has a certain level of martial arts skills."
"As expected, he's called Sherlock Holmes," you teased.
"Mastering basic information is a fundamental quality of a detective." Bai Matan curled the corners of his lips.
"… By the way, it's about 28 degrees today. Although this Sherlock Holmes costume is very handsome, but -" You pointed at his tightly wrapped windbreaker, "Aren't you hot?"
"..." Bai Matan's train of thought was interrupted for a moment, "...I came here by car. The hospital also has air conditioning."
"Oh, no wonder." You nodded and changed the subject again, "Okay, what do you want to ask?"
"I was not able to attend the performance a few days ago because of something else. Later, I heard that an accident occurred during the performance," Bai Ma said. "It involved life safety."
You blinked. “Yeah, I’m still a victim.”
"It's probably not directed at you, don't worry."
"The heavy object that fell was the decorative panel above, and several screws connecting it were twisted off by someone."
"So, the murderer's target should be--" You have actually guessed it, but you still want to hear Bai Ba Tan's analysis.
"After checking backstage, the lottery process was not set up in advance, it was indeed random. And according to my subsequent investigation, you and the girl did not have any conflict with others," Bai Batan crossed his fingers, "So - the target should be the performer Kuroba Kaito, who you also know."
"I want to ask, did you notice anything wrong on the stage? Or hear any noise?"
You look up at the ceiling and start to recall: "Hmm... I seem to have some impression. When I was in mid-air, I heard some strange noises."
"What is it?"
"It's very light, like a sound of breaking air... coupled with the sound of chords breaking," you answered.
"Chord?" Baiba Tan immediately thought of the top killer Spider, but he is still on tour in Europe...
"..." Bai Ma Tan solemnly wrote down the message in his notebook.
"Oh, by the way, I have another question," Bai Ma looked up, "Has that guy Hei Yu been reading books in your store often recently?"
"Eh? Yes."
"What's the title of the book he's reading?"
Hakuba already knows Kidd's identity (but there is no solid evidence, and Kaito does not admit it), so you decide to keep it a secret for Kurohane so that his next gemstone process will be smoother.
"..." You kept smiling, "Sorry, this involves personal privacy, I can't disclose it."
At this time, the door of the ward was opened again, and before anyone entered, a voice came in: "Hey! Boss, I'm here to see you!"
When Kuroba Kaito saw Hakuba Tan inside the house, his smile froze on his face: "?! Why are you here?"
"As a detective, of course I have to visit the place in person," said the White Horse Detective calmly. "Why, are you worried about what I know?"
"…Strange, what is there about me that cannot be known by others?"
"I wanted to ask you what you've been watching recently," Hakuba extended his hand, "but Watanabe-san said it's private and won't reveal it, so... don't worry about your next move."
"I've already told you I'm not that person!" Kaito Banyueyan, "I'm just an ordinary high school student."
"I didn't say anything." Bai Ma Tan smiled.
"..." Kuaidou pouted, then looked at you, "Boss, are you being discharged from the hospital today?"
“Yeah,” you smiled, “it’s almost done. You can just go back to the bookstore and rest. So you can come back and continue reading tomorrow.”
"Hey," Kuaidou scratched his head, "I'll get your things for you later. It might be inconvenient for you to do it by yourself."
"To express my gratitude, I'll take Watanabe-san home." Hakuba raised his head slightly, "There's a car at the door."
Quick Fight: "Do you have a driver's license?"
"No, but there is a driver."
"I remember your car was a Shelby Cobra 427," Quick thought, "I don't think there's room for the boss."
"Usually it's that one, but today it's another one." Bai Ma leaned forward, "The car is still selected according to the need."
As expected of a rich young master! You sighed in your heart.
"I can give you a ride too." Bai Ma Tan said to Kuai Dou with a smile.
“…Forget it,” Kuaidou waved his hand, “Don’t bother you, just send the boss off, I’ll go back by myself.”
Sitting in the back seat of the car, you have nothing to do, so you turn on your special phone and prepare to browse the forum.
【#禦言修#: Sisters! Have you seen the update of Magic Fight? There is a surprise! 】
【#SHZX#: What? Magic Fight has been updated! (Tactical backward jpg.)
【#? ? #:I saw it! I actually saw Watanabe Weilai and Matsuda Keimitsu! I was shocked! 】
you:!!!
You quickly flipped through Magic Fast and Furious and found that it had updated the plot about Fast and Furious coming to your bookstore to read books and the stage accident.
[#CF that is not CF#: Dream...dream linkage? But 73 often lets characters from both sides make cameo appearances. So it's normal. 】
[#段白#: It is certain that Matsuda and the others are on Conan's side, so which side does Watanabe belong to...? ]
【#戚白#: He appeared earlier in Conan, and if it was HLJ, it should be Conan's home court. 】
【#Roimq#: But his bookstore is in Jianggutian Town, which is the Mokuai Universe. 】
[#大爱无cp一半小甜餅#: There is magic in the Magic Universe, we can see if Weilai can do magic (dog head jpg.)]
[#秋白#: Hahahaha, good fellow, if he is really HLJ, then HLJ is really caught in the gap between magic and science (dog head jpg.)]
【#妖妖灵#: Aww, I feel so bad that you got hurt. It's really inconvenient for hackers to get their hands hurt. 】
[#司佐清舟#: I feel sorry for Jiayi, and I also feel sad that Ayumi is a tool again (dog head jpg.)]
【#秋风愁#: Hahahaha, Ayumi is rescued every day (her elementary school life was full of disasters), but in fact, Ayumi is also very touching here! She didn't leave but stayed where she was and said thank you to Watanabe. She is really a good child! 】
【#時未洋#: Wait for the follow-up. To be honest, science and magic are not in the same universe, and the main storyline will not intersect, so Watanabe should not be from the winery. 】
【#墨曢快乐#: That should be HLJ! Great, buy HLJ shares! 】
You: “…” “I work for the winery” and “the two main plots do not intersect” are not actually contradictory…
“……” You turned your eyes away from the phone and rubbed your temples with a headache.
It even appeared in Magic Fast - the advantage is that there are two sources of intelligence and analysis, but the disadvantage is that it may also test the edge of Magic Fast's main line.
Let's not do it... you think. Forget about science, but magic is really fatal.
Let me go. You want. I really want a [harmonious and beautiful] Jianggutian Town!
The author has something to say:
Jiang Lai frowned, realizing that things were not simple (dog head jpg.)
I started a new article yesterday. The one about Gin and the police being close friends. Click on my column to see it.
I have the subject three exam this Wednesday_(:з)∠)_ and I have to take a day off, so there is no update.
