I don't know how Kuroba Kaito explained it to Hakuba Tan, but in any case, Hakuba didn't mention these things again on his own initiative.

However, there is now one more name among the bookstore's regular customers.

"Really..." Hei Yu said with a dead look in his eyes, "Why did you guys come here too?"

"Of course, reading." Bai Ma Tan smiled, "I am also interested in ancient books."

You were leisurely drinking tea at the counter, watching them testing each other from time to time.

Such peaceful days did not last long. After all, your current identity destined you to not have a peaceful life for a long time.

In the evening, after seeing off Hei Yu and Bai Ba Tan, you glanced up and saw a familiar figure standing on the street corner before returning to the store. His dark red eyes appeared even heavier and deeper in the setting sun.

"..." You paused, pretending nothing had happened and went back to the store. You knew in your heart that the other party came here probably to carry out a mission.

In fact, your guess is correct. Kitagawa Makoto stepped into the store with his long legs, raised his head slightly and said simply: "Take your notebook and go with me."

You silently flipped over the sign that said you were going out for something and asked for leave, closed the store door, and got into the other person's car with your computer bag slung over your shoulder.

The silence was broken by the other party speaking first.

"Spirytus," he whispered, "Master's code name."

...Spiatus? Information about this wine comes to your mind. Because this is quite famous, it is a wine with the highest alcohol content and the strongest alcohol content in the world, with an alcohol content of 96%. Westerners call it "water of life".

...It's quite suitable for each other.

"Fenjiu." You also answered, "My code name."

"Master knows your code name and name." He glanced at you, "If you are out in the world, you know how to address me."

"Kitagawa Maaki." You understand.

The car fell into silence again, and the depressing atmosphere made you feel uncomfortable. The person next to you was a genuine alcoholic, but even though he wasn't, you could almost smell the damp, dark smell of blood on him.

...He is the person who changed the fate of your peaceful life.

You lean back in the passenger seat, your fingers curled.

"We are going to the Sakura Building now," Kitagawa Makashi said again, with a hint of cruelty in his tone, "to deal with a certain disobedient guy and clean up the information and tail items he left behind."

"You are responsible for information cleaning and follow-up cleanup."

“I see.” You nodded, opened your phone and started searching for the building he mentioned.

This is a high-rise building located near Mount Fuji, with an observation deck, hotel rooms, and various recreational and sports facilities. Every year, a large number of tourists who visit Mount Fuji choose to rest here because the view from this building is particularly good.

...Mount Fuji. Your heart is slightly moved, and some memories from the past emerge.

This world-renowned beautiful and majestic sacred mountain is also one of the places you want to visit when you come to Japan.

When you were in a sushi shop, you put a notebook with the places you wanted to visit on the side of the counter. Sometimes when you heard customers talking about some interesting places, you would write it down and think about going to see it one day in the future.

Jinpei Matsuda would sometimes pick it up and flip through it, complaining about how he could ever visit all of these places.

"Write it down first, I'll have time to go there someday." You muttered, "And I've marked the order, so take your time."

"Let me see - Oh, you want to see the sunrise over Mt. Fuji?" Matsuda said with a teasing look on his face, "In your dreams?"

"Hey, hey... I will definitely set the alarm and get up." You raised your hand to grab the notebook back, "How could I miss it."

"I can't imagine there's anything special about this... The sunrises are all the same," Matsuda yawned, "I've seen a lot of them. When I'm working on a case all night, it often lasts from dusk till dawn."

"Will you really not die suddenly like this... And you really have no artistic talent at all." You complained, "The stunning beauty of the sunrise at the Holy Mountain on the Snow Summit is really worth appreciating."

I'll fulfill this wish while I'm on this mission, you thought. I must watch the sunrise from the observation deck on the rooftop.

Thinking this way, this mission seemed to be a little easier.

What gives you more headaches than organizing missions is... little Conan.

When you saw a familiar group of people in the hall, you almost couldn't hold back the faint smile on your face.

"Ah, is that Mr. Watanabe?" Xiaolan greeted him warmly with a smile.

"Oh, who was it?" Maori Kogoro touched his chin and recalled, "Ah, I remember it now!"

Kitagawa Makoto handed you a room card and left alone. You put the room card in your pocket and looked at Xiaolan and the others with a smile: "Hello."

"..." Conan withdrew his gaze from Kitagawa's back.

The back of that person... gave him a very familiar feeling. Conan frowned. Has he seen him somewhere before?

The feeling of his clothes being pulled made Conan turn around from his thoughts. Behind him, Haibara Ai was pulling his clothes tightly, her body trembling slightly.

"......?" Conan asked quietly, "What's wrong, Haibara?"

"..." Huihara Ai lowered her head and tightened her right hand, "That guy... has their aura on him."

Conan immediately understood what Huibara meant: "You mean the brown-haired young man? Watanabe?"

Haibara Ai didn't answer, she moved a few steps behind Conan. Conan looked up and saw you were already in front of him.

"!"

"What a coincidence, we meet again." You leaned over, the small braid at the end of your hair slid to one side, with a faint gentle smile on your face, although in the other person's eyes, it didn't look so friendly.

"..." A drop of cold sweat flowed down Conan's forehead, but he still raised his head and laughed, "Hahaha, yes, what a coincidence——"

"Ah! It's that big brother!" The excited shouts of the children came from the side.

You raised your head and saw Ayumi's bright little face: "It was my big brother who saved me at that time!"

Yuan Tai took two steps forward and asked, "Are you here to play too?"

“Yeah,” you nodded.

The chattering children surrounded the brown-haired young man, which relieved Conan's situation. Conan breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Huiyuan to ask Xiaolan for the room card and go back to the room.

Because you are a gentle and distant person, you did not reject the children's excited discussions, but you also did not get too intimate with them. You always kept a certain distance and chatted with them casually.

You noticed that Conan was standing at the edge, seeming to be memorizing what you said. You smiled in your heart. Of course, you would not reveal any intelligence in your words, which is the basic quality of an undercover agent.

And when I talk to the kids, I just talk about everyday topics.

Walking to the elevator with Conan and his friends, you heard Xiaolan's slightly puzzled voice: "Eh...? Officer Matsuda? Here..."

"Ah, there's nothing going on here. I'm just traveling with a friend."

Matsuda?! You were startled. But you quickly adjusted your expression and looked up.

The other person noticed you, too. "Hmm? Is that Watanabe-san?" He asked with a concerned look on his face. "How is your arm recovering now?"

"Thank you for your concern." You smiled, "I'm fine now."

"That's good." Matsuda nodded. The conversation ended there.

After all, you are just strangers now, and there is nothing else to talk about.

While waiting for the elevator, you set your sights on the man next to Matsuda. He was looking down, his cap pulled down very low, almost covering half of his face. You could only see his slightly grayish semi-long hair. He was leaning against the wall, looking lazy and casual, but he had an attractive temperament.

As if noticing your gaze, he raised his head slightly.

...So handsome! This is the first word that comes to your mind.

Although as a boy, my first reaction to another person of the same gender is that this is a bit weird. But this is indeed the most accurate word, you don't even know how to describe it.

His misty blue eyes only glanced at you once, then he lowered his head again, as if he was dozing off.

"..." But you were a little more cautious about the other person.

——This face is definitely not that of an ordinary person. You complained in your heart. Although this way of judging seems... but it is indeed in line with the world of science and comics settings.

Matsuda was chatting with Uncle Mori and Xiaolan nearby.

"Why didn't Jiang Jing come?"

"He's sick," Xiaolan sighed, "He has a fever again. He's recuperating at the doctor's house. He didn't come with us this time."

"The child is really weak and sickly..." Matsuda muttered, "I'll go see him again when I go back this time."

The elevator, which had been suspended for a long time, was finally moving to the single digits. The three members of the Young Detectives counted down excitedly: "Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven! Six——"

"Stop shouting."

A large hand suddenly rose up and covered the digital display screen nearby, interrupting the children's conversation.

"Huh?" The three detectives were stunned. They looked up at the police officer with slightly curly hair.

"..." After a pause of less than a second, Matsuda said casually, "Really... please be quiet in the hall. You might disturb others."

"Oh...I'm sorry."

"Oh, yes," Uncle Maori leaned over, "I promised to take you kids out to play this time, but you have to be good and obedient." He glared at Conan, "Especially you!"

Conan:? ? What's wrong with me?

The elevator arrived with a beeping sound, and Matsuda raised his arm to the side to let the others go in first. Everyone entered the elevator one by one, and then you heard him call the man's name: "Let's go, Igarashi."

...Igarashi? You make a mental note of the name.

I haven't heard of this before. You leaned against the corner of the elevator, thinking. But... you don't think Matsuda and his friends are here for tourism.

Although the Investigation Division also has holidays, but... your intuition tells you that they probably come here to do something special.

I hope there won’t be any conflicts then…
