Chapter 60: First Kill



In fact, Xian is more inclined to believe that she came to Japan for other reasons, such as for the missing Kudo Shinichi. After all, Vermouth herself is in the United States, and there is no way she can come to Japan without a reasonable reason.

After Vermouth came to Japan, the tasks in the organization did not feel any easier. This guy came here for vacation and was nowhere to be seen all day. Xian did not feel anything else, only that Gin seemed to have become more strange.

Gin has been particularly silent recently, which is strange. Could it be that his nonsensical warning last time made him restrain himself in front of Vermouth? So this guy is really doing something that the organization cannot know...

"Gin..." After completing the mission, seeing that Gin was about to abandon him and run away alone, Xian hurried over and grabbed the car window, "After removing the irritability buff last time, it has become a silence buff now?"

"..." Gin looked at Xian calmly, without any murderous intent from before.

Oh my god...Xi'an was shocked. Is he not even letting go of his murderous intent now? What on earth happened to this model worker of the organization? !

"...Why are you looking at me like that?" Xian, who got no response, smiled awkwardly and asked in a low voice with a worried look on his face.

Then there was a scream: "Ah——"

Xian: ...

"Well...he seldom stays here. He usually stays on the small balcony on the second floor." Xian touched his nose and invited, "Do you want to go to the second floor to take a look?" Anyway, these children are probably not here to buy books. They should be mainly here to visit.

"There's a case! There's a case!"

Well, it was probably a love killing. But this little girl didn't look like someone who dared to kill, Xian guessed in his heart, but generally speaking, it's just one of the three choices! What about the other two? "What's going on, what's going on? I just heard a loud noise!" There was a sound of footsteps, accompanied by a strong voice, it was definitely the old father of this family.

While Xian was madly diss Gin in his heart, he hung a sign on the door while yawning and started a day of idle life without any tasks.

I really thank you.

"Oh, nice to see you again, kids." Xian greeted the children with his standard smile.

"Ah!!!" Yuan Tai yelled, "What a big dog!!"

"Wow——" Ayumi and Mitsuhiko were instantly attracted over and gathered around the small doghouse in the corner to watch.

The next day, Xian successfully got up and ran the store with big dark circles under his eyes.

Xian: ...

My goodness, nowadays sewing machines can also be used as weapons. Xian was full of admiration.

"Ah, that's Dabai." Xian added from behind, "He doesn't look very well these days. He's always sleeping and doesn't seem to care about people." In fact, he was put into standby mode because he was too busy recently.

No one knows better than me what is missing from my files...

"Yeah!" the children cheered.

"Bang!" The sound of a heavy object falling.

"...Finlandia." Gin reached out his hand expressionlessly and slowly pulled away Xian's hands that were clinging to the car window. He squinted his eyes and looked Xian up and down for a long time.

On the sofa, three little ones each held a glass of orange juice.

Generally speaking, when Conan goes out, doesn't it mean there's a case? If I bring them all here, can't I avoid getting involved in the case? [But host, you have to take the initiative to get involved in the case, so that you can attract Conan's attention, and then expose your identity as a member of the organization in time...]

"Welcome." Xian walked around the counter. "In a place like Tokyo where every inch of land is valuable, of course we can't afford to open a bigger bookstore. I am already very satisfied with this. There are no other books on the second floor. That's where I live."

Gin's dark green eyes met Xian's pitch-black pupils, and in a trance he seemed to overlap with a familiar yet unfamiliar figure. Gin opened his mouth, and by the time he reacted, he had already asked a question that he absolutely should not have asked.

As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Conan squatting next to the person lying down. He felt the carotid artery and said regretfully, "Call the police. He's dead."

"There's a second floor, are there books upstairs as well?" Ayumi looked around curiously at the stairs.

He couldn't possibly not know about this rule! Then why did he come to ask me? Did he find out something? You know...

No, I’m not good, I’m very bad! Xian threw himself back on the bed and rolled around hugging the quilt.

"Have you ever looked at your own file?"

Damn it, damn Gin.

Why would he ask me that kind of question? Is he suspecting that I was an undercover agent? But with that gentleman's favor, Gin wouldn't have such a suspicion without any basis, right?

How could I not have looked at my file...

[…Indeed, host. Also, congratulations to the host for having his wish come true.]

Xian opened the system panel irritably, clenched his fists and stared at the gray screen on the translucent light. He pursed his lips tightly and did not speak for a long time.

But then again, I hadn't noticed before that Boss Hinamori really often wears black clothes... Maybe it's a coincidence? "Is that so? Sorry, I should have told you more specifically if I had known. Thank you for troubling Miss Mori." Xian smiled apologetically.

Xian looked at the girl standing at the door. He had rarely seen the daughter of this family, but it should be her. Xian hesitantly stepped forward and asked, "Um... do you know him?"

The remaining three little ones looked at each other and reacted immediately.

"...They have all run out." Xian swallowed, "What a fast speed."

Xian couldn't hold on to his smile because of what he saw. He reached out and touched his cheek: "Is there...a problem?"

Wait, is today a holiday? Wasn't yesterday just Monday? He remembered that he had complained to Gin about being a Monday worker again. Xian sublimated right on the spot.

Is this the problem? Xian reflected on his words and actions. It seemed that he had said before that if he wanted to know where the store was, he would ask Conan. No wonder Conan always looked at him strangely after he came in.

The deceased was a young man who was dressed quite fashionably and had a middle-parted hairstyle. For some reason, Xian felt that this guy was a sea king.

Conan took a sip of orange juice and quietly looked at Xian who was getting along well with the kids. He was still concerned about what he said that day, so he hesitated for a moment and asked, "By the way, Xian, how can you be sure that I know where your store is? We only met once last time."

"Huh? Why is this happening? Did brother Xian take him to see a doctor?" Ayumi asked worriedly.

"Hello, Brother Xian, sorry to bother you!" Ayumi said crisply, and Mitsuhiko quickly followed suit.

Damn it, why are you asking such weird questions! It keeps me awake at night.

Xian took a quick look around the scene and found a... sewing machine next to the deceased?

"Hey, Conan——"

Xian didn't intend to get involved in the various cases that Conan encountered, and then show off his skills to impress him or attract his attention. The main reason was that he himself was not very good at solving puzzles, especially the fancy murder methods that happened in Beika Town. He would rather stay aside and watch Conan solve puzzles and solve cases.

Hey, hey, don’t just wander around like that… Conan’s speechless half-moon eyes.

"That's good." Guangyan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a serious face, "Brother Xian, Dabai's nest is a little small. He will be uncomfortable curled up like this."

"Eh? Actually, I'm not sure." Xian pretended to be stunned for a moment, "I also said 'should' that day, right? I thought Miss Maori should have told you, but she didn't?"

Xian's voice gradually became aggrieved.

[…Host, are you okay? ]

I want to have more quiet days, so I'll wait until Xiao Ai appears.

"Here, Conan, this is yours." Xian handed the last cup to Conan. "The cups all look different." Ayumi looked at everyone's cups.

"Ding-ling." The door was pushed open. Xian looked up and saw several elementary school students happily walking into the bookstore.

So that's how it is. Conan felt a little relieved. Ever since he became smaller, he has been a little nervous. "No, Xiaolan didn't tell me. I only found out after I asked her later." Conan said, scratching his head.

"Well, thank you for your help, Brother Xian." Conan said heavily.

So why would a child rush to the scene of a murder so excitedly? Xian didn't understand, but there was nothing he could do. A crime had happened near his home, and he was at home, so he couldn't not go to the scene. Xian could only walk downstairs slowly, dialing the Metropolitan Police Department as he went down the stairs.

Conan jumped up quickly, put the cup on the coffee table, and ran towards the balcony. Lying on the balcony railing, Conan saw a person with a bloody head lying downstairs opposite. Conan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he rushed downstairs at the fastest speed.

As a normal member of the organization, how could I have seen my own file? No member has the right to view his own file. This is the rule.

That dog... Conan continued with his half-moon eyes. If he remembered correctly, the dog had only stayed in his bed a few times. It usually occupied boss Hinamori's bed directly.

Xian suddenly sat up in bed.

Phew… In this case, there shouldn’t be any problem, right? [What could be the problem?]

"But doesn't Brother Xian own a bookstore? And there are tables and chairs on the first floor where you can sit and read." Yuan Tai curled his lips.

"Good morning, Brother Xian!" Conan greeted innocently. But in his heart, he was complaining that this lazy boss actually opened the shop so early on a weekend, which was extremely rare.

"Hey——" Xian Erkang's hand.

"...I've already called the police." Xian came over with his phone, his face full of worry, "Looks like we have to call an ambulance now."

"…It's a bookstore, not a coffee shop." Xian was speechless, "And it's not a library either."

So that's it, this is the world of science, this is the main plot, hiss...

Opposite Xian's bookstore is a small shop that sells handmade belts and also does some repair work. Xian once learned that the shop was run by a father and daughter, who seemed to be a single-parent family. The girl's mother had never been seen. The father was a hardworking man. Xian had seen the old father many times making belts in the first floor with a light on late at night.

"What's going on?! This..." The man looked very shocked. He pointed his trembling fingers at the man who had stopped breathing and was speechless for a long time.

"Young Detective Team, move out!"

"Eh... this place feels smaller than I thought." Yuantai has already walked in and is looking around.

[Host... touch.jpg] If I hadn't scanned the host's own file and shown it to him... well, it doesn't matter whether he looks at it or not. The host had already guessed what changes would happen to his own file, so it doesn't matter whether he looks at it or not.

"Hello, Brother Xian!" Mitsuhiko stepped forward, "Today we were discussing where to go for fun, and we thought of Brother Xian's place, so we asked Conan to bring us here."

【You’re welcome. :D】

"Brother Xian!" Yuan Tai greeted loudly as he entered the door.

"… Indeed, since I live alone, I don't have that many cups prepared."

"It's okay, I've checked it out, it's nothing serious, just get some more sleep." Xian lied with his eyes open.

"Yeah... I know him." The woman turned pale with fear and turned her head away, not daring to look. "He's my boyfriend."

The innocent thoughts disappeared when he heard the screams.

"Dad..." As expected, the woman turned around with tears in her eyes and looked helplessly at the middle-aged man who came out, "Xiangshan Jun..."

According to Conan's law of no accidental death, this guy must have been murdered, but I don't know if it was a murder of passion...

Xian scratched his head in annoyance. When he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with Gin asking him questions. It was like a ghost that wouldn't go away, making it impossible for him to fall asleep.

“Eh——”

It really has that kind of visual impact.

As for Conan, with the filter of Kudo Shinichi before, he shouldn't suspect that he is a member of the organization so quickly. He just needs to wear less black clothes recently. After entertaining these children and sending them away peacefully, he can...

"Eh...it feels very similar to the one Conan is staying at. They both have a shop on the first floor and people live upstairs." Bu Meishi rested his finger on his chin.

Xian: ...

"Um, are you okay?" Xian looked at the old man who looked like he was having trouble breathing, and suddenly became a little worried. He took out his phone again and asked the woman, "Is your father in danger? Do you need to call an ambulance?"

"...No, I'm not that fragile." The man took a few deep breaths and turned his head to the side. "What is going on?"

"I don't know either..." The woman said with tears in her eyes, "Just now I said goodbye to Xiangshan Jun as usual, but suddenly a sewing machine fell from the upstairs and hit Xiangshan Jun on the head..."

"What?! Sewing machine..." The man saw the bloody sewing machine on the ground, and his face suddenly became ugly. He looked at Xian and the children who were checking the scene, and asked, "What about you?"

"I'm the owner of the bookstore across the street. These kids happened to be in my store. They came down when they heard the noise." Xian replied, "I just called the police. Now let's look at the time. The police... should be here soon."
