Chapter 78 Return to Nagano



[Host, you should know that it is very difficult to get a drug A into the organization's confinement room. 】

I know, but at least the goal was achieved in the end.

No one knows what method the world consciousness used. Anyway, the organization doesn't know how Shirley disappeared, nor does it know the specific effect of drug A. Except for the fact that the members of the organization who guarded Shirley dealt with a lot of things, the organization found nothing. In short, it was very magical.

Since Xian was in Nagano when Shirley disappeared, his suspicion was reduced. Anyway, Gin and Vermouth are not in the organization now, he is also suspended, and Bourbon is not qualified enough, so many things are handled by Rum. Let Rum clean up this mess.

Xian was walking around the snack stalls, thinking very irresponsibly.

[But host, why do you want to come to Nagano? Are you looking for Gao Ming? ]

No, I just wanted to get away from Tokyo, that troubled place, for a while, but places that are too far away are not easy to go to, so I chose Nagano, which is nearby.

Ran Mouri skillfully took out her cell phone and called the police, while Conan and Toru Amuro began to examine the body and quickly concluded that the person was dead.

Now that the main storyline has been opened, he should gradually and vaguely mention Zhufu Jingguang's existence to various important figures to let them know about Jingguang's existence. This will be quite helpful for the whitewashing process.

Xian found a seat in another part of the barbecue restaurant and sat down, thinking stiffly.

"What?!" Maori Kogoro also became serious, "Officer Yamato, can you tell us in detail?"

But it may not be a bad thing. After all, we are now in Nagano, and Moribushi Takaaki is a police officer here. If there is a case, it means that I can meet Moribushi Takaaki. In this way, I can remind him about Moribushi Kagemitsu.

"If that's the case, then the murderer should be a very big target. His behavior would be very suspicious and easier to be discovered. But we have been here since the beginning, and we haven't seen anyone moving in a strange way." Amuro Toru said, touching his chin.

"...Huh? Who are you?" When Kogoro Mouri saw Xian greeting his daughter, he tilted his head and raised one eyebrow, asking in a somewhat unfriendly manner.

However, he couldn't remember it for a moment. There was a murder case going on and he didn't have time to think about it carefully. He could only put these things aside.

But everyone says that Conan's main storyline has been open for so long, but in fact it's only been half a year, and in these six months, countless time has been reversed. I didn't believe it before, but now it seems...

After all... when he killed Scotland, he did it so quickly and efficiently.

Finlandia, that man, although he looks gentle and soft-hearted, he is actually a very cold and ruthless guy in essence. How could he save Shirley, who is useless to the organization?

[Host, aren't you going to go up and show your face? ]

Amuro Toru is not sure, he has never been able to figure out Rum's mind. But as Finlandia is almost the same as Gin, will she really help Shirley escape from the confinement room? Amuro Toru thinks it is unrealistic.

"…So, why did I meet Conan and Toru Amuro here?" Xian asked a soul-searching question.

So they have already met Zhu Fu Gao Ming... So the main plot has indeed gone in a way that I can't see the original direction at all. Xian sighed silently, after all, Bourbon's early return had made him a little unsure about the direction.

How could Rum let him go so easily? While Xian was in a daze, he was already spotted by the sharp-eyed Mao Lilan.

"Ah, it's Officer Gao Ming." Mao Lilan blinked and said happily.

"Ah, Mr. Hinamori!" Ran Mouri waved happily.

So Zhu Fu Gaoming should have known that his brother was apparently dead.

"It's potassium cyanide, Mr. Maori." Amuro Toru reported the relevant situation to Maori Kogoro, "But this gentleman came to eat alone, without any acquaintances accompanying him."

Kogoro Mouri walked up to him seriously and told Takaaki Morobushi about the case and the basic information of the suspect.

It’s the season for cherry blossoms to bloom again.

"Oh, Dad!" Mao Lilan was speechless, "This is Mr. Hinamori, the owner of the bookstore near our house. You met him last time."

"dad!"

However, it turns out that people cannot just walk around randomly, especially in a high-risk area like Nagano.

"I see..." Xian nodded, "Maybe I've been looking after the store for too long, so I want to take a break. I've been here for a few days." He winked at Mao Lilan, "Anyway, there's no other boss in my store telling me what to do, so I can make the decision myself."

Taking advantage of the cherry blossoms, Xian found a barbecue restaurant where the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, so that he could enjoy the barbecue while looking at the flowers.

Amuro Toru remained calm as he watched Mao Lilan and

It's over. I guess I can't stay here any longer...

After seeing Bourbon last time, when he went to the Metropolitan Police Department to take a statement, he specifically asked if there was a police officer named Date Kou. The answer he got was that the police officer had passed away. Combined with the current situation where all major nodes of the main line have been advanced, he guessed that the phone with a hole left for Furuya Rei should have been sent to Morobushi Takaaki.

It can be considered as... a roundabout way to achieve the goal. The probability of meeting Zhufu Gaoming after meeting Conan is higher than the probability of encountering him by chance while wandering around.

Zhu Fugaoming went to work at the police station as usual today, and soon after he received a call saying that someone had an accident in a restaurant and it was suspected to be a murder. He quickly took the police officers to the address of the report.

"How could this be..." Maori Kogoro frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly realized and said, "Is there a possibility that the deceased did come here on his own, but the murderer followed him secretly! Then he poisoned the deceased when he was not paying attention, and then quietly slipped away?"

Xian looked at the roadside where the autumn wind was bleak yesterday but today the cherry trees were in full bloom, and he was speechless for a moment.

Mao Lilan turned around and said to Xian embarrassedly: "Mr. Hinamori, I'm sorry, my father is like this..." She paused and continued, "We are here because there was a lottery event in the mall yesterday, and I won the Nagano trio, so I came." Mao Lilan scratched her cheek, "I wanted to ask Sonoko to come, but Sonoko didn't have time, so I asked Mr. Amuro. As for Conan... he is not included in the ticket. By the way, doesn't Mr. Hinamori need to watch the store? Why are you here too?"

[Can we go to Gunma? ]

It's too late to escape. Well, they saw me as soon as I came in. If I turn around and leave now, won't this just arouse the suspicion of Conan and Bourbon?

As soon as he entered the door, Zhufu Gaoming saw the detective Maori Kogoro and his family whom he had met before, as well as a blond-haired and dark-skinned man.

"…The reason why we judge this case to be a serial murder case is that there were two similar cases before. The victims were all in a restaurant and died of potassium cyanide poisoning while eating alone." Zhu Fu Gaoming walked over and slowly explained the situation.

"..." Xian made a surprised expression, then walked over with a smile, "What a coincidence, Ms. Maori, and Mr. Maori, and... Mr. Amuro, how come you have time to come to Nagano?"

The organization should be on high alert recently because of Shirley's defection. Bourbon, who was trained as a confidant by Rum, couldn't possibly be here, right? He thought that although Bourbon might not be overwhelmed by Shirley's affairs, his movements would be restricted, at least he couldn't leave Tokyo at will?

Maori Kogoro had only drunk a few sips of wine, and now he was sobered up by the scream. After seeing the dead man, his expression suddenly became serious, and he immediately exerted the momentum of a former criminal policeman, commanding the crowd to return to their positions, and no one could leave.

"Hey... it sounds like you are really free." Mao Lilan covered her mouth and laughed. "Hey, you guys, do you want to eat or not? You keep talking here, the barbecue is getting cold." Mao Li Kogoro picked up a piece of barbecue and said in a bad attitude, "Anyway, we live nearby, can't we go back and talk about it if there is anything?"

"This is already the third case of this kind this month!" After personally checking the condition of the deceased, Yamato Gansuke's expression was extremely serious, "This is definitely a serial murder case!"

"...I don't have much impression." Maori Kogoro frowned and thought about it. He seemed to only remember a little bit, so he gave up and took a big sip of beer. "Ah! Beer is still delicious."

That person... Zhu Fugao remained calm on the surface, but his narrow cat eyes narrowed slightly. He seemed to have seen that blond man before.

But it also depends on luck to a certain extent. If I really meet Gao Ming, I can just mention Jing Guang's matter to him vaguely.

The police arrived quickly, and it was, as expected, Morobushi Takami, followed by Yamato Gansuke and other police officers.

Sure enough, when Xian was halfway through his meal, he heard a scream of "Ah!!!", which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant.

"Well, see you later, Mr. Hinamori."

However, Bourbon probably has not met Zhufu Gaoming under the identity of Amuro Toru, and this should be the first time they meet.

If I remember correctly, you were on a mission the last time you came to Nagano, host. I really accidentally said what I really thought.

[Ah... I can probably guess. How about you run away now, host? ]

I'm not sure what's fun in Gunma. After all, I made a travel guide last time I came to Nagano, so I know more about it...

"...Well, it's okay, it's my fault this time." Xian smiled apologetically, "I'm really sorry to interrupt your meal. I'll leave first. See you later."

Now I just need to take the opportunity to eat more.

However, since it was Rum's order, Toru Amuro naturally followed it, after all, Rum was his superior. It just so happened that Mao Lilan invited him to visit Nagano, so he followed along. He originally wanted to find a random excuse to leave after dinner, but he didn't expect to meet Finlandia here. It was really a piece of cake.

Nagano... is that person's hometown. Thinking of this, Amuro Toru's heart was blocked again. When he found the pierced and bloody mobile phone on the rooftop that day, he knew that his Hiro would never come back. The only thing he could do was to take the biggest risk and entrust the mobile phone to the squad leader to send it to Hiro's only relative in Nagano, Morobushi Takaaki.

Bourbon has great potential as a student.

They were discussing the case intensely, how could I go up and talk? Zhu Fu Gaoming was such an excellent police officer, he must have focused on the case first and had no time to talk to me.

Is Rum suspecting that Shirley's disappearance is due to something Finlandia did?

Xian sat quietly aside, watching Conan running around and Amuro Toru reporting the situation of the case to Mouri Kogoro, and sighed in his heart.

Xian: ...In fact, there were many times when he really didn't know whether Kogoro Mouri was really stupid or just pretending to be careless.

Ah, see...Xian had a look of confusion and shock on his face, but he was not surprised at all.

Just as Xian thought, he should have been in Tokyo to assist Rum in investigating Shirley's disappearance, and he should have been very busy. But after the news of Shirley's disappearance came out, Rum first investigated something, and then did nothing for him, but just asked him to go to Nagano to find Finlandia. To be more precise, he was to find Finlandia and monitor him.

As for Zhufu Gaoming, although he is not a character that needs to be conquered in the mission, I still feel that it is better to tell him. If everyone knows that Jingguang is not dead, but only his brother does not know, it would be too pitiful. Xian thought with his only conscience.

Xian was speaking, so no one interrupted.

Mao Lilan: "...Dad!"

Zhu Fu Gaoming looked around habitually, and suddenly saw a familiar figure in another corner.

That person... Zhu Fu Gaoming paused. If he remembered correctly, he should have met that person in the library a few years ago. At that time, this person had very similar views on Chinese literature as he did.

And when thinking of that person... I can't help but think of his younger brother, Zhufu Jingguang.

That person should have come to Nagano with Kagemitsu, Zhufu Takaaki thought as he stared at the back.
