Chapter 88 Different Rules
Dazai Osamu woke up in a private house. When he woke up, there was no one in the house, only some broken furniture and the smell of dust filled his nostrils. He lay in bed for a while before slowly sitting up. "I don't know what's going on, but first we should go find something to eat."
When he came here, Dazai Osamu actually planned to take the little boy to the nearest sushi restaurant after completing the investigation. There was his favorite crab roe sushi there, and the money the little boy gave was enough for him to treat him to several meals. He just didn't know who was the one who did this...
Thinking of that voice, Dazai Osamu's face darkened. He walked to the dilapidated window of the house and looked out. Wow!
He almost wanted to blow a whistle. I saw people walking back and forth outside. None of them were human. They had different heads, but they lived here like humans. If one of them bumped into someone, they would even stop and apologize to the other person.
The first thing that came out of Dazai Osamu's heart was not fear, but excitement——
Have we finally escaped from that boring and rotten world? Who designed this animal-themed place? What does he want to do? To turn all of humanity into animals under his command? There must be someone here, otherwise, how could these guys live here so well and obediently.
Dazai Osamu was thinking about all sorts of things quickly. He walked out of the house without any pause and looked at everyone with interest. An ostrich lady in a skirt felt offended and glared back at him. He smiled apologetically and bowed slightly.
Seeing that they were not afraid or surprised when they saw him, Dazai Osamu even carefully observed his own appearance to confirm that he had not turned into an animal. Then he continued to explore this place thoughtfully. This is a small town with houses similar to those built by humans, various shops, pharmacies, hotels, and even a police department. This is what Dazai Osamu came to after wandering around for a while.
He had noticed Fūya Rei very early on. In a place full of animals, a human being was actually very out of place. After observing him for a while, he had some guesses about his identity. The reason he approached him the next day was because...
"Are you hurt?" After confirming the cooperative relationship with him, Fūya Rei moved closer to him. He sniffed lightly and smelled some slight odor.
Dazai Osamu smiled when he heard this: "It seems that Mr. Furuya is one of the best police officers. I am indeed injured because of something I encountered last night. Here, I would like to remind Officer Furuya that this town is very dangerous at night. It is best not to go out without preparation."
"Really?" Furiya Ling remembered what the raccoon cat shop owner said to him yesterday. He said calmly, "I know."
They found a place, and Rei Furuya spread out the note he got from the fox in front of the two of them.
“1. The town does not welcome visitors who are not guests. If you encounter an uninvited guest, please notify Officer Red Rabbit as soon as possible.
2. Don’t ask Officer Red Rabbit about her past.
3. Eat more meat.
4. Don’t eat vegetables.
5. When an unfamiliar animal appears in the town, follow it closely. Since they know how to come, they should also know how to leave.
6. There is no second form for the residents in the town. If you meet one, get away from it quickly. If you can't leave, just stay where you are and someone will come to save you.
7. The big bad wolf is usually good, and you rarely encounter one. But if you do, don't fight it unless it wants to kill you. If it attacks you, run away! You won't be its opponent!
8. Night is dangerous, try not to go out at night. If you want to go out, please choose a time when there is a red moon. At this moment, everything is asleep and the doors are open. If you see everything red, don't panic. This is the rendering of light and it is also a necessary process for you to leave.
9. Respect the owner of the town. He likes peace and tranquility. Don't disturb Him. Never at any time. ”
There were nine rules in total, and Furuya Rei and Dazai Osamu finished reading them quickly. The two of them fell into deep thought and no one spoke.
After a long while, Furuya Rei finally said, "You said you encountered something last night. What did you encounter?"
Dazai Osamu raised his eyebrows: "There was no red moon when I went there. As for what I encountered," he said with a look of reminiscence: "It's hard to describe. That thing was like a beast, but also like some kind of amorphous existence. I can only say that it was indeed invincible."
Fūya Rei began to wonder why the transcendent had constructed such a scene. Was it related to his special abilities? Is his special ability "rules" or is it the spirituality given to animals? However, he didn't know much about superpowers and couldn't come up with any useful guesses.
He put the note away and said softly, "It seems that it is right not to go out at night. As for the rest, it remains to be discussed."
Dazai Osamu smiled and said, "This is like a game. It's a pity that there are only two of us. If there were more people, we wouldn't have to try each one of them out ourselves. This is just a very simple game for us."
Furutani Rei frowned. He began to doubt the identity of this detective and secretly raised his vigilance against this detective. He knew the way he said, but this was testing the way for himself at the expense of the safety of others. If the price of breaking the rules was life, then this safe road would be filled with corpses.
"Oh," Dazai Osamu laughed, and said, "You don't think what I said is true? Don't think about it. I haven't met anyone else except you."
Fūya Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but he soon thought of another person who had arrived here before him. Unlike him, he had an invitation. So he asked, "Have you walked around the whole town?"
Dazai Osamu sighed, "There's still a small part that I haven't visited yet, but don't hold your hopes too high. Humans and animals are very different, so there's no need to look carefully. This town itself is not very large. I estimate that there are only about a thousand people at most. Even if a stranger sneaks in, he won't be able to hide for long."
As he spoke, he looked forward, "Hmm?" He suddenly asked in confusion, and Furiya Rei also looked over. Then, he saw a familiar young figure running past on the street.
"Bang!" It was the sound of Furukaya Rei suddenly standing up and the chair beside him falling down. His face turned pale, as if he had thought of something, and he was no longer as calm as before. Because he recognized that it was the little detective named "Conan" who lived upstairs in Kogoro Mouri's house. Why is he here? Besides him, who else is here?
Could it be that this incident affected more than just a few of them? Thinking about the waves that were spreading outward at that time, and the people living outside were ordinary people from Beika Town, he couldn't help but feel dizzy. He knew that there were people behind this incident, but he didn't dare to gamble. If there were more people involved outside, he couldn't use their lives to gamble on the kindness of a transcendent. He can't and won't do it.
He suddenly felt extremely eager to end this accident.
Dazai Osamu looked at his gaffe and said, "Well, is that kid someone you know?"
Furiya Ling had a gloomy face and walked out quickly. Dazai Osamu thought about it and decided to follow slowly. But before they got there, Conan disappeared like a cat. Just as Furiya Zero was about to chase him, a white figure suddenly blocked their way.
"Did you find anything?" In the room downstairs of the hotel, Pei Zhen asked Conan who had hurried back.
Conan took a big gulp of water and said, "I didn't see anyone else. My previous guess that many people came through with us was wrong. I didn't see any familiar animals either. I asked about the black panther, but no one here has ever heard of him."
After saying that, he looked at Pei Zhen expectantly. "Something did happen last night." Last night, Conan and Pei Zhen were very peaceful, but a gunshot woke them up for a moment in a half-asleep state. Pei Zhen didn't know, and when Conan woke up in the morning, he thought it was just a dream due to the fatigue of the day. "Officer Red Rabbit didn't say anything. I managed to find a stray bullet. It was indeed a human bullet," he said. "There are still people in this town who have experienced the same thing as us."
"But don't worry..." Pei Zhen said.
"Don't think too much..." Almost at the same time, Dazai Osamu also said to Furuya Rei: "If something was going to happen, it would have happened long ago. The fact that it didn't happen as you expected means that something unexpected happened, or too many people messed it up. So far, everything is under control."
Pei Zhen also said almost the same thing as Dazai Osamu.
"What we should do now is to clear ourselves of suspicion and go meet your little friend." Dazai Osamu said to Furuya Rei, "He doesn't look like he has been hurt, but he may be in the future."
Fūya Ling's face was very solemn. He narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of danger: "I don't know when we had any contact with that deer lady?"
Standing in front of him was a white rabbit in a uniform. She had a cold expression on her face and red lines on half of her face looked like a flower. She was the one who had stood in front of Furuya Rei and the others. She didn't seem to care about Furiya Ling's questioning. Instead, she took out a notebook and wrote something on it. "There is a witness. Someone saw one of you walking out of the crime scene at that time yesterday. The deceased also had a pleasant conversation with him. After that, Ms. Lu fell asleep and didn't see anyone again." She put away the notebook and said, "Come with me."
"Haha." Without looking back at Dazai Osamu, Furuya Rei asked calmly, "What evidence do you have? Also, can you show me your police ID?"
"Do you want to resist arrest?" Rabbit didn't answer Furuya Rei's question at all. She just tilted her head slightly and looked at them in confusion, as if she didn't understand at all. But Dazai Osamu and Furuya Rei were both extremely perceptive people. They both saw from the rabbit police officer's puzzled appearance that she was eager to try!
What is she looking forward to? !
Suddenly, a huge sense of danger enveloped the two of them. In a trance, Fōtani Ling saw the corners of the rabbit's mouth slowly curled up. The red lines on her face were so thick that they seemed to drip blood. Her originally calm eyes exuded a violent light, and her ears stood up like sharp blades. Everything around her was shrouded in thick fog. She stared at them closely.
He quickly withdrew his hand from where he had placed the weapon, and said with a smile: "How could that be? It is the duty of the residents of the town to comply with the police officer's inquiries. I am also very sorry about the case that happened in the town, and I am also very happy to provide you with clues. I hope that the murderer can be caught as soon as possible and the innocent person can be cleared of suspicion."
The rabbit returned to his indifference, as if the previous scene was just an illusion that Furiya Rei saw when he was dizzy. She nodded and said with satisfaction: "Very good, thank you for your cooperation."
"We will punish those who don't follow the rules!"
