In the dark elevator shaft, I touched an oval object with the faint light, which was the same as something I had seen before that would be harmonized.

After thinking about it for a while, I threw away my moral integrity and squeezed it hard. The thing cracked in the middle and I poured out a small cube with a metallic texture.

Let me think, if there is something in this, there should also be something in the cracked sex toy I saw above. Using the light from my cell phone, I searched carefully in the elevator shaft. It really hasn't been cleaned for a long time. Fortunately, I brought a mask, otherwise I would be choked to death by the dust.

I put what I found in my pocket and quickly backed out.

Coming out of the basement, I pulled the elevator back. Don't worry, I was very quick. The power outage lasted no more than five minutes. The people inside were safe, and the people repairing the elevator should not have had time to come over.

I crawled back to the bathroom along the ventilation duct - mainly because there were too many people near the lobby, and I didn't want anyone to see me going to the basement, which would increase the possibility of my arousing suspicion. I dusted off my clothes, put everything back in place, and finally put the maintenance sign on the door into the utility room on the side, then left with my suitcase.

As for this somewhat embarrassing item - I can't just throw it away in the hotel, it's too dangerous, and it will be the same if I throw it away later when I'm far away. It's too dangerous to put it in an outside pocket, if it falls out, won't I be socially dead?

Put it in the inner pocket, it's safer.

As for the two black metal blocks, it won’t be too late to confirm them later.

I checked the route and then went to the Investigation Division 1 to take a statement. It was just a matter of following the procedures and it was not troublesome. Because I went there late, it was almost dusk when I finished, which was almost the time for some police officers to go off work.

The person who took my statement was Officer Takagi, who was in charge of the previous case and wanted to question me. When he looked at me, he almost didn't recognize me.

That's normal. You can't get up in the morning without makeup. Now that you're going out, of course you have to put on some makeup. This is Beika Town, the center of fame and fortune. What if your face is seen by someone who shouldn't be seeing it?

But the general outline is still there. After all, I don't have the real ability to disguise myself. After I introduced myself to Officer Takagi, he quickly accepted my settings.

After finishing the record and preparing to leave, I caught a glimpse of the work schedule on Takagi's desk out of the corner of my eye.

I stood up from Takagi with evil intentions, and said in annoyance, "I didn't expect it's already this late, and I still haven't found a place tonight... I was planning to check out rental information today, but it's too late. I don't dare to stay in a hotel after something like this happened today."

I half lowered my head and lifted up one side of my hair so that Takagi could see my melancholy beauty up close.

As expected, the simple and honest Takagi immediately responded, "If Mr. Fūya doesn't mind, why don't you stay at my house for a night? I'm on vacation tomorrow, so I can help you look up rental information. I grew up here, so I know Beika Town pretty well."

I held back my smile and showed a slightly surprised expression, "Is this really possible? Will it cause trouble for Takagi-kun?"

This time, I didn't use the title of Officer Takagi, but directly called him Takagi-kun, which immediately brought the distance between us closer.

He rubbed his cheek shyly, "It's totally fine. I live alone too, but my house is not big, so it might be a bit crowded."

"It doesn't matter at all. I'm already very grateful that you don't mind my help." I held Takagi's hand and thanked him solemnly.

Since I was going to stay at Takagi's house temporarily, I naturally couldn't go out by myself. I sat in the police lobby and waited for a while. After handing over his work, Takagi came out in plain clothes.

If you ask me, Takagi is totally unguarded and was totally unprepared when he invited a stranger home.

But on the other hand, he is a junior recognized by Date Kou, and "I" am now Kagemitsu, and I have a little relationship with Takagi-kun, so what's wrong with living in his house for a while?

I thought with peace of mind.

"Is Fūya-kun a professional detective?" Takagi asked as he helped me put my luggage in the trunk.

"No, it's just... a hobby," I thought to myself, looking at the closed trunk and thinking about the various cosmetics I had put inside. I decided to eliminate potential risks in advance. "I'm actually a makeup designer. Sometimes I take on some orders. I've been running around in various countries before. I came back this time because I wanted to settle down. After all, I'm almost 30 years old. I need to think carefully about my future."

Takagi started the engine and looked at me in surprise, "Furuya-kun is almost thirty years old, I can't tell at all!"

I touched my chin. Even in the morning when I was bare-faced, my face was still very young. After all, I had shaved clean to eliminate some of the original characteristics of Morobu Kagemitsu. Maybe it was because he hadn't seen the sun for many years, so Kagemitsu's skin was abnormally white, and even looked a little scary at night.

Long hair also makes him look young. Although Jingguang doesn't have the exaggerated high school baby face like An Sir, at first glance he does not look like someone in his thirties.

"By the way, what kind of job is a makeup designer? This is a field I have never come into contact with. Doing makeup for big stars?" Takagi obviously knew nothing about this industry.

That’s right, me too!

I don't even know if I used the term correctly!

In order to prevent loopholes from being exposed in the future, there are always various dangers in using a fake identity in the Conan world, so I turned a blind eye, "Compared with Takagi-kun's work, it's really not a big deal. I just went in to take notes. Everyone in the Investigation Section is very busy. In order to protect the people, you have worked really hard."

"No, no, no, it's nothing!" Takagi's face immediately turned red when I complimented her. That's how honest people are, they get shy very easily.

Of course, moving to Takagi's house was not some conspiracy of mine. It was just a matter of convenience at the time, and it would make my involvement in the Beika Town environment more natural.

There was only one bed in the Takagi family's home where they lived alone, so of course I couldn't compete with the host for sleeping space. Fortunately, the sofa in the Takagi family's home was spacious enough and I had enough bedding to sleep on.

I waited until the second half of the night to open my eyes, and took out the two metal cubes I had obtained during the day. With the help of the light from my cell phone, I could see their appearance clearly.

The two metal boxes are exactly the same. This one is only the size of a finger joint. I looked carefully and found the small button on the edge. I pressed it lightly and the side popped open.

Pour out the contents - it's a chip, a very small chip, most likely a storage chip.

It seems that this is probably what Mr. Yamashita was nervous about before.

I put the chip back and put the metal box away. I didn't have any electronic equipment to read the card, and I couldn't investigate it any further for a while, so I just put it aside for a few days.

After all, no matter who wants this thing, since they haven't succeeded, they may continue to look for it, and then anyone who had contact with Mr. Yamashita at the time may be investigated.

Of course, Mrs. Yamashita, the most suspected person, has been sent to law enforcement, so I, a stranger who had brief contact with Yamashita, may not be safe.

Thinking of the bug in that room, I decided to be a little more cautious.

Who knows if he will end up being connected to the organization? After all, in Tokyo and Beika-cho, there are hidden dangers everywhere, and the main plot may be affected at any time.

I yawned and closed my eyes.

Perhaps it was because I subconsciously felt a certain sense of security in the environment of the Takagi family, so my relaxed nerves allowed me to sleep well that night.

The next day, Takagi helped me make an appointment with the owner of a nearby house that was for rent as promised.

By the way, he is also an acquaintance of Takagi. The landlord is Takagi's current neighbor, and the house to be rented out is the neighbor's previously vacant house.

After visiting it, I found that although this is just an ordinary one-bedroom apartment, the house is unexpectedly spacious and has good lighting.

Although the furniture inside is not all new, it looks very clean and tidy, just like the landlord. The location is also good. It is not in the commercial district, but because it is where the landlord worked and lived before, the transportation is very convenient. There are also complete living facilities such as convenience stores downstairs.

In short, it is an ideal house to rent.

So I negotiated the price with the landlord. With Officer Takagi as the middleman, both parties felt reassured. The landlord's price was reasonable, so the rental contract was signed very quickly.

The rental contract starts from one year, and the rent is paid quarterly - mainly because I don’t have the ability to pay a year’s rent in one lump sum.

One season should be enough, and with Conan's timeline of more than a thousand episodes = less than a year, this season might be enough for me to get through spring, summer, autumn and winter.

It's okay, the contract is under the name of Rei Furuya anyway.

What does your account of Furuya Ling have to do with me, Zhufu Jingguang?

Phew, if my plan goes well, I believe Sir An will still be willing to pay the rent. After all, he is a working emperor and has no shortage of money.

Even if we take a step back, can't we still ask the organization to reimburse us?

To thank Takagi for his help, according to social custom, I had to treat him to lunch.

The place we chose was the izakaya recommended by Takagi. The store was not big, but the decoration inside was very cozy. You could smell a faint fragrance as soon as you entered. It was already past noon, but there were still quite a few people sitting inside.

It can be seen that this is a place with booming business.

Just as Takagi and I sat down, the sliding door behind us made another noise. I thought it was just a normal customer coming in and out, but the next moment the sound hit me straight on the nerves.

"Ah! It's Officer Takagi!"

What the hell?!

Takagi and I were sitting face to face, so Takagi was facing the door and I had my back to the door.

Such a familiar voice and the chaotic sound of footsteps, I don’t even need to turn around to recognize it.

It's you, the Young Freeloaders!

When I turned my head, I saw three little men running over and standing next to the table. "It's Officer Takagi!"

Although I felt a little helpless, I forced myself to smile, and just as I was about to say hello and get to know them, the three of them suddenly started accusing me.

"How could Officer Takagi go out on a date with someone else without Officer Sato's knowledge?"

“That’s right!”

"I didn't expect Officer Takagi to be such a person!"

My smile froze.

???

appointment?

Can you see clearly, I am a man!

I'm not saying anything, Jingguang's body, although he has semi-long hair, his overall features are very strong and he doesn't look feminine at all.

"Ah?! That's not true, Furuya-kun and I are not on a date!" Takagi explained in a panic. When he heard Sato's name, not only his face but also his ears turned red.

“Ah, Jun?” Mitsuhiko, as expected of the light of the Young Freeloaders, was the first to react.

Following Mitsuhiko's words, the three of them looked at my face together.

"Ah, it's true, it's a big brother!" Ayumi stood on tiptoe to take a closer look, then blushed a little, "Sorry, big brother, we misunderstood."

The other two boys quickly apologized as well.

"It's really you three. This one is obviously a boy."

This sound, this voice!

It’s him, it’s him, it’s him, our god of death, little Conan!

I was very excited in my heart, but I didn't show it on my face. I just tilted my head slightly and asked, "From behind, I have indeed been mistaken for a girl. Did you tell that I'm a boy at first glance?"

"Well, even though Big Brother has long hair, he has a big frame, and the back of his hair is a little messy. It should be because he is not used to taking care of it all the time. In addition, Officer Takagi usually won't be alone with girls other than Officer Sato, so even from the back, you can tell that Big Brother is a man." Conan analyzed according to my words, and in the background was Takagi calling "Conan-kun" in a panic. "If we continue to reason in detail, the muscles on Big Brother's arms His body is tight, and even when he sits down, his legs and feet are exerting force unconsciously. He must be very skilled, or at least he exercises regularly and is very self-disciplined. He has a bandage on his head, and he was injured recently. He was quite polite to Officer Takagi, so he must be someone he has just met recently. His Japanese has some strange accents, but his expression is very smooth. He probably just hasn't spoken Japanese for a while, so he must have been abroad for a long time before that. "

Looking at Conan's immature but confident aura, you can tell at first glance that he is the protagonist.

However, when you are reasoning with a stranger, have you really hidden your identity well, high school detective Shinichi Kudo?

"You got them all right, that's amazing, little brother - I heard Takagi-kun calling you, it's Conan-kun, right?" I exclaimed like any adult seeing Conan for the first time.

"I was just saying it casually!" To be honest, Conan's deliberately childish voice is really funny.

The Young Detectives said that Conan was cunning and was trying to show off in front of his handsome brother.

I quickly exchanged a helpless look with the doctor behind them.

But strangely, I was not among them. I had wanted to see if the winery radar would be effective on me.

It was natural for me to invite them to sit with us. While looking at the menu, I quickly scanned the entire store with my peripheral vision.

Let me see, which little cutie is the God of Death going to visit?
