It's actually very easy to see which cutie the Grim Reaper will visit today.

Think about the characteristics of Conan cases, the classic three-choice case plus a dead person. I just need to see if there are any four-person groups in the store, and their relationship seems a little too tense or too close.

It was very easy to find and I quickly locked onto the target.

It was at a table not far from where we were, by the window.

Two men and two women.

But just looking at them, I can't tell who the deceased is.

It would be fine if I didn’t care at the time, but the key is that I care very much now!

Although I tried to control my gaze so as not to look at them, my spirit unconsciously leaned towards them.

"Hey, so big brother is also a detective!" The young detectives exclaimed in amazement when they heard Takagi introduce my identity.

"Furuya-kun is amazing. In the previous hotel case, he only did a quick investigation of the scene and completely saw through the criminal's methods." Takagi's praise was sincere.

This slightly exaggerated performance satisfied my vanity to a certain extent, and I said humbly, "It's just a hobby. I usually like to read detective novels."

"Brother Furuya also writes detective novels!" Conan Edogawa's eyes lit up.

I know that at this moment, as long as I give the correct answer "Sherlock Holmes", I can win the favor of Conan on the red side!

But, I haven't read the complete works of Sherlock Holmes. I have only watched the British TV series Sherlock. I love this version very much, but that doesn't mean I will love the whole novel so much, so you know.

It would be bad if he were to say something about Sherlock Holmes and I had no idea what to say.

"Well, it's just a hobby. I like Agatha's novels very much." I smiled and avoided the best answer. The reason I said Agatha is because I have watched many movies and TV series adapted from Agatha's novels, so it shouldn't be a problem to talk about it casually. "Little brother is very good. Listen to your name - Edogawa Conan, it seems like a combination of Edogawa Ranpo and Conan Doyle. Your parents must also like reasoning."

"Hmm!" Conan shook his short legs and held his little face with his hands.

I have to say, pretending to be young and tall is so cute!

I pinched myself to wake me up!

Why do I feel like I'm getting more and more tortured? Hey!

At this moment, I suddenly felt as if my brain was stabbed, and a chill stabbed me more and more firmly. Although it was only a flash, it was definitely not an illusion.

This is...

I glanced to the side with my peripheral vision, because I had been consciously paying attention to the four-person table, so even though I was talking to Conan here, I could still know what was happening at that table.

I even felt that I could feel some kind of fluctuation when I concentrated, a bit like the emotional fluctuations in the previous world, but not exactly the same.

Is this——Brain Flower’s skill?

Brain Flower has this ability? !

This surprised me a little. Brain, I don't know what other surprises you have.

I turned my head and looked towards the source of the coldness. It was a young-looking girl, who looked to be around 20 years old, no more than 25 years old.

Still in the prime of youth.

Look at the people sitting at the table with her. There is a boy who has the same couple accessories as her, but his mind is always on another girl, and there is another boy who has his mind on her.

Love triangle?

Probably more than that. Judging from her behavior, this girl doesn't look like an ordinary girl. She walks at a nearly constant speed, with a small half-step buffer when starting and stopping. Her steps are also very small, as if she has been wearing kimonos for a long time. Her manners are very good. The two or three times I saw her smile, even the curvature of her mouth was almost the same, which must be due to training.

This wouldn't happen with girls that ordinary people add.

The boy next to her looked much more uninhibited, wearing obvious couple accessories with her. Even though it wasn't a hot day, he had two buttons undone, deliberately creating a hipster vibe. He had a good-looking face and could match this vibe.

The watch on his wrist is very expensive, and the material of his clothes is also very good, except that the cuffs have a little wear and tear, which does not seem like the kind of elegance he shows. The men's necklace and watch are matching items, but I guess it is most likely a gift.

It seems to be a murder of passion, but not entirely.

There are obviously some other problems between them. The strange friendship between these four people should be worthy of a special episode.

However, if he kills someone in front of Conan, he will definitely be discovered.

I felt a little bit reluctant. After all, apart from the entanglement and determination in that girl's brain waves - which might have been murderous intent - there was more of a determination to die together.

Not a bad guy at all.

Moreover, instead of waiting for something to happen before solving the case, now that I know she is the murderer, is it possible to prevent it in advance?

I thought about it and realized that in a restaurant like this, the most likely method of murder would be poisoning.

Just as I was thinking about it, the meal number was handed to us. At the same time, I saw that girl also stood up, and it seemed that she was also going to get the meal.

I stood up immediately and held down Takagi who was standing up with me. "I'll go get it by myself. Takagi-kun, please stay here and look after the children with Professor Agasa."

After pressing Takagi down forcefully, I naturally took two quick steps forward and just caught up with the girl to pick up the food.

She deliberately slowed down her movements, as if waiting for me to go first.

"Is this really okay?" I suddenly asked.

She was very nervous, and when she heard my voice, her hands trembled for a moment, but she quickly calmed down. "Are you talking to me?"

"Is it necessary to sacrifice your life for someone who is not worth it?" My eyes scanned her body and quickly locked onto her bracelet.

This kind of wide-looking bracelet is not suitable for such a slender girl, and there are several strange joints in the bracelet. Without thinking too much, you know that there is something hidden inside the bracelet, and the poison is most likely hidden inside.

"I don't know what you're talking about." She lowered her head, moved the food on the plate slightly, and prepared to leave in a panic.

"It's a beautiful bracelet," I said in a low voice that froze her in her place, "but it doesn't suit a girl like you."

She seemed a little shocked, as if she was looking at something strange, "How could you..."

"If you have the courage to use the bracelet, you should also have the courage to think of a better solution." I was just giving her a reminder. If she still wants to do it, I won't stop her forcefully.

However, she wasn't someone who was determined to kill people. After I poked her, she lost half of her anger.

She was somewhat discouraged that she had failed before she even started, but she also felt somewhat relieved.

"You..." She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to ask something, but in the end she just lowered her head, "Courage..."

"If you have any troubles, you may as well seek help from others." I winked at her playfully. I bet that the emotional problems between them were only part of the cause of the murderous intention, so I said casually, "For example, the Maori Detective Agency. I believe that the Maori Detective will do his best to help you solve the problem."

After all, the girl is very beautiful, and with Uncle Maori's personality - he will give it his all, no questions asked!

She looked at me blankly, and when she raised her head, she realized that her face was too close to mine. Her face turned red visibly. How can they say that handsome guys have special privileges?

The same words, when said in Jingguangpi, were not offensive at all. She nodded slightly, "...I'll consider it."

I looked at her back as she seemed to be running away - I just thought of it as a good deed, and I didn't know if it was effective.

Or maybe it's just my self-satisfaction, after all, it's someone else's business.

However, don’t people live mostly for self-satisfaction?

We had a peaceful meal. The table of four with children finished their meal earlier than ours. It seemed that Gao Mu didn't have to work overtime today.

"You guys are so awesome, you guys were even featured in the newspapers?" I put my thoughts back on track. "But didn't you say there were five members? There are only four of us here."

"There's also Ai, but the doctor said Ai had something to do at home today, so she didn't come out to play with us." Ayumi answered almost every question I asked.

I guessed that the so-called "something" that required one person to stay at home was probably research activities. After all, the antidote for APTX-4869 cannot be manufactured and then skipped any steps.

"You've achieved so much at such a young age, that's really... amazing." As I spoke, my eyes met Conan's. He seemed to have noticed something, and quickly laughed it off, saying that everyone in the detective team was amazing.

After manually clearing the hidden case at the restaurant, there wasn't much reason for me to go with him anymore. I still had things to do in the afternoon.

Some daily necessities and electronic equipment need to be purchased.

Besides, my little treasury can’t just go out without any income, I have to find a job.

After a day, I finally found a place to stay. Takagi even helped me deliver a box of luggage to the new house.

He is indeed a good guy, I love him.

Having learned from my last hotel stay, I thoroughly searched this one-bedroom apartment inside and out while cleaning the room this time. I even checked the gaps outside the windows and the exhaust fans of the air conditioner. After confirming the safety of the house, I started to operate the new computer that I just bought today.

My own computer skills are very poor, and I have trouble even playing PC games. But Jingguang is different. He remembers that he has received professional training in this area, and with the hard drive kit I got from my boss, I can encrypt a string of numbers on my computer.

After finishing all this, it was already completely dark outside. I checked the door and curtains again, then used the card reader to insert the card I brought from the hotel into the computer.

If you expect, these are indeed two memory cards, one by one.

When reading the card, there is first a layer of encryption, but it can be seen that the person who made the encryption is not professional - perhaps it was Mr. Yamashita himself, so my deciphering was quite smooth.

After unlocking it, you can see the information stored in the memory card.

There is only one file, and judging from the size it seems to be only a few hundred KB, not even as big as the storage size of the Long Aotian novels I usually read. What is this?

I clicked it—it was full of characters, or codes?

I couldn't understand it this time. Even if I read it based on Jingguang's memory, it was still confusing.

Maybe it's too technical, either it's some computer code, programmer work, or it's a secret code.

But I personally tend to believe the former. If it's the latter, I feel that with Jingguang's reasoning ability, he shouldn't have any clue at all.

I could only quickly scroll through it and then scroll to the bottom.

After pulling it down, I saw a string of Japanese kana.

Suguru.

Selection?

What does it mean?

Selection list, selection code?

Are we competing for codes too? That's too much.
