Symbiosis 35
A few years ago, when he was in the police academy, Ichinose Saku received a call from his childhood friend Kenji while he was in bed. After learning of his adoptive father's death, the two had a brief meeting. That day, the women's friend Hagiwara Kenji was forced to get a ticket to the amusement park because he was helpful, and the five grown men went in just like that. Ichinose Saku even bought each of them a cotton candy out of his own pocket. The returning rate was very high, and they had a lot of fun without realizing it. Ichinose Saku was too lazy to look for him, so he leaned against a statue in the park to take a rest, waiting for his classmates to pick him up.
"Matcha," a hand stretched out from behind the statue, and Ichinose Saku took it without even raising his eyelids. Because the scorching sun made him sweat all over, he simply tied his coat around his waist and licked the ice cream with a listless look, "Why did uncle choose that ending? Now find out--"
"The father of a policeman cannot be a murderer..." "He's not." Tong Xiang Wang's words were forcibly interrupted. The young girl looked back without surprise and saw the familiar brown eyes restraining anger and sadness, not towards her, but towards herself. The strawberry ice cream in his hand exuded a sweet smell. Not far away, a tall man holding a toothpick in his mouth had already discovered Ichinose Saku and was waving his hands vigorously in the crowd. Next to him, a curly-haired man and a dark-skinned man were elbowing each other. The semi-long-haired young man and the cat-eyed young man stood on one side to dissuade and add fuel to the fire, "I am."
He personally put the poison into his father's wine, and only chose to leave through the water pipe on the balcony after seeing him drink it.
The murderer that day was not Honda Tsuneichi, but Ichinose Saku.
Kirisato Nozomi lowered his eyes and quietly left from the other side of the statue in the direction pointed by the shadow. Ichinose Saku raised his head and strode towards his friends, his smile as dazzling as the sun.
He waved his hand and she nodded, ending this last meeting.
.
The Kudo residence was eerily silent at this moment.
The truth that Morobushi Kagemitsu restored after summarizing it was too horrifying, and the issues involved were even darker: domestic violence, murder, religion, forced suicide, dereliction of duty, forgery... The youngest, Edogawa Conan, could hardly sit still. He never imagined that the senior who played the role of reasoning in his childhood had encountered so much darkness, and lies had existed even before they met.
"...Hey, you guys tell me," Hagiwara Kenji said with a wry smile, "our friend is 'Ishii Kazuki'," the confusion in his words chiseled everyone's heart, "or 'Ichinose Saku'?"
"...Who cares!" Matsuda Jinpei gritted his teeth, the cigarette in his hand had already touched his skin, "Who knew this guy would make things so complicated? He's not the protagonist of a TV series--"
"This explains what happened before," Ida Kou sighed, scratching his short hair, "Ikki... No, where did his self-destructive tendencies come from..."
——He was sincere and felt guilty for the deception in this friendship.
"He forged an identity to enter the public service system, and he is also connected to cults and criminal organizations..." Furuya Ling slammed his hand on the table, his face full of regret and anger, "Does he know what he is doing——"
"It doesn't matter anymore," Zhu Fu Jingguang's words attracted the attention of everyone present. Under everyone's gaze, he repeated calmly, "It doesn't matter anymore."
"Wait!" Matsuda Jinpei's eyes widened, "Hiro, are you saying that we're just going to give him to...?!"
Morobushi Keimitsu's expression was unprecedentedly calm. His childhood friend subconsciously moved closer to him. "He saved me," the heavy emotion suppressed in his words choked everyone present, "She also saved me," the importance of Kirigo Nozomi in Ichinose Saku's heart was obvious in the story that had just been deduced, "They are all gone."
——We shouldn’t ask what they think.
"...You're right," Hagiwara Kenji was the first to break the silence, "It's meaningless to dwell on a question that has no answer," he also rubbed the curly hair dyed by Kotsugu, and from the latter's grinning teeth, he understood that the two of them were just temporarily moving on, "Rather than this, we should pay attention to the organization that Saku joined." Although it was still a little awkward, he still read out the real name of his classmate, "If their goal is really to eliminate the organization that Kofuru is undercover in..."
"I found this among his belongings," Fūya Ling nodded, his emotions only showing for a moment. Now he was the shrewd and capable undercover agent again. He took out a letter from his pocket, "An invitation from the Selmes," Zhu Fushiguri, who was standing next to him, moved closer, and Fūya Ling naturally moved to a position so that Xiao Xunran could see more clearly, "An auction held on the high seas."
Ida Kou, who suddenly became the only one in the police academy team who had not been influenced by childhood, touched his chin and said, "That is to say..."
"It is very likely that this is their next plan."
......
"...Mr. Amuro," when the matter came to an end, Edogawa Conan suddenly grabbed the corner of Furuya Rei's clothes. In the discussion just now, the little detective didn't say much, which was indeed a bit unusual for this usually quick-witted child. "I have something I want to ask of you," the boy quickly glanced at Morifushi Kagemitsu next to him, "Can you bury Saku-kun next to his father?"
"There's also Miss Wang and Brother Saku's mother," the young detective couldn't help but lower his voice a little when he thought of the stunned look on the police academy team's faces, thinking of how Ichinose Saku didn't know his mother had not abandoned him until his death, "I think, at least..."
"They will be happy."
