It was a bit cold in November in Tokyo this year. Even though there were colorful light strips everywhere, the light was still cold.
Noel opened the door of his residence. The cold wind he brought from outside was instantly melted by the heating in the room. The aroma of food wafted in gently, blending with the warm air to weave a cozy atmosphere for this space.
Noel skillfully removed the straps and mask, letting his hair down in a bun, and took off his black windbreaker, revealing a sky blue sweatshirt with a big blue mechanical cat printed on it. It was Doraemon.
The criminal look just now instantly turned into a gentle, harmless, and maybe even a stay-at-home young man.
It was more than two months after Noel was brought to Scotland. The two had gotten used to being together. Noel's frequency of coming back was irregular, sometimes for several days in a row, and the longest was half a month. But every time he would tell Zhu Fu Jingguang in detail.
Seeing Noel come back, Zhu Fu Jingguang immediately prepared the meal. The two of them ate the dinner together, and tacitly agreed to keep the topic within an insensitive range.
"Xiao Guang, what day is it today?" Noel suddenly asked.
"November 5th." Morofushi Jingguang answered with some confusion in his eyes, wondering why the person in front of him suddenly asked about the date.
"Shall we go to the amusement park in a couple of days?" Noel suggested after thinking for a while.
"Amusement park?" Morofu Jingguang was even more confused. In the two months that the two had been together, Grappa had not mentioned where they were going, except for buying basic necessities. And in order to make himself look as unsightly as possible and not appear in front of acquaintances, he seldom went out.
But now, the other party suddenly proposed to go to the amusement park. The first thing that Morofushi Jingguang thought of was that the other party had some mission, but obviously, if that was the case, he would not be taken with him.
Did he want to go?
Morofushi Jingguang thought this idea was a bit absurd, but he remembered the other party's underage status, so he couldn't help but put on a harmless filter.
"Okay then." He naturally had no reason to refuse to go out.
"Then I will finish all the tasks as soon as possible in the next two days."
Noel said cheerfully.
"Why do you suddenly want to go to the amusement park?"
"I want to give you a gift." Norse said it without hiding anything, but she didn't explain it clearly, which successfully made Zhufu Jingguang look confused.
[November 7, amusement park, I remember it was......]
[Yes, it is the day when Jinpei Matsuda died. ]
It is now November 1991, four years away from the first episode of Detective Conan in 1991. He is a little curious about what the time will be like by then. However, the most important thing at the moment should be a day that many people remember, the day of Jinpei Matsuda's death.
[Although Hagiwara Kenji's death was avoided, the bomber would definitely continue if he was not caught. He did it for the third time in the plot timeline.]
[However, Jinpei Matsuda did not join the Investigation Division. After all, he did not need to avenge his friend. 】
【After all, they are from Tokyo Explosives Disposal, so they will definitely get involved.】
【It's a good opportunity for Jingguang to see them. 】
[Wait a minute, don't let Morobushi Kagemitsu misunderstand again! ]
Thinking of what Noel had done before, Xiao Hei couldn't help but worry. After all, taking Zhu Fu Jingguang to meet his peers was like a kidnapper letting the threatened person meet the hostages and then saying, "Look, the hostages are still alive, so don't act rashly."

1991.11.7. Beihu Shopping Mall Amusement Park. Morning
A pair of brothers stood out in the crowd.
The boy in the Doraemon sweater has a face that is a perfect combination of Chinese and Western styles. His tall figure makes the loose sweater, which easily makes his 50-50 ratio, look fashionable. His black hair is slightly long and draped behind his head. His gray-green eyes are slightly obscured by the loose hair in front of his forehead, giving him a slightly unruly temperament.
The child in his arms was wearing the same Doraemon sweater as him and had the same delicate appearance, with round-framed glasses on his big cat eyes, which added some cuteness to his temperament. He followed his brother obediently.
"It's a pity there's no Pikachu yet." Noel looked at his sweater and suddenly thought of the yellow-skinned electric mouse, which he also liked.
[Pokémon Red and Green were not released until 1996, so don’t even think about it in the scientific world line. ]
[Conan has been using a smartphone in the latest episodes, can't I look forward to Pokémon? ]
【As long as you like it. 】
“Is this your first time here?”
Noel was arguing with Xiao Hei in his head when he heard Morobushi Jingguang ask this question. He almost didn't react.
"Of course I've been here," Noel's answer surprised Zhu Fujingguang. Apparently, he didn't expect that the winery's underage education still had a qualified...
"I shot the target of a mission in the head at an amusement park. It was on the Ferris wheel. The large transparent glass restricted the space for movement and was very convenient for snipers..."
At this moment, Noel was extremely annoyed about his inability to control his mouth. His impression in Xiaoguang's eyes was about to drop again.
[Although I know you have no intention of clearing your name,]
Xiao Hei carefully selected his words and said tactfully,
[But can you say that he has a good attitude to confess his crime when he is so eager to show his criminal history in front of a police officer? ]
"Xiao Hei, shut up!"
Noel said this with some embarrassment, which made Zhu Fu Jingguang look at him in surprise, but it was obvious that after two months of getting along, the policeman had gotten used to the other party's occasional schizophrenia and talking to the little black in his mind, although he still hoped that the other party would see a psychiatrist.
Noel didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Hei and started to drag Zhu Fu Jingguang to try various projects.
But apparently, neither of them had much feeling for most of the projects that require people to experience excitement to gain pleasure.
No matter how exciting it is, it can't be as exciting as an undercover mission, or as exciting as raising real wine, Zhufu Jingguang suddenly thought.
No matter how exciting it is, it is not as exciting as Gin's icy eyes. Or, to put it another way, having an affair with a male god and raising an undercover agent under the organization's nose, Noel couldn't help but think.
"Let's go ride the Ferris wheel." Suddenly remembering that it was almost noon, Noel hurriedly pulled Zhu Fu Jingguang to the Ferris wheel.
"Uncle, we want to take No. 72."
"No. 72 has passed." The staff member was obviously a little dissatisfied with the title of uncle, but he still had the consciousness of a service staff and said with a forced smile.
Apparently, you can't just ride any Ferris wheel you want in the amusement park. Guests enter one by one according to the party, and the No. 72 that Noel wanted to ride had already been taken by the previous guest.
“What a pity…”
“Why No. 72?”
[Isn't this what the criminals put the bomb in? I want to see if there is a bomb inside? ]
Apparently Noel had remembered better this time and kept his mouth shut; if he had said it directly it would have caused a huge misunderstanding.
"Number 72 is my lucky number."
Such a perfunctory answer choked Morofushi Jingguang for a moment, and he got on the Ferris wheel with the boy.
As the largest Ferris wheel in Japan, its height lives up to its name. Even before reaching the highest point, looking down at the crowds below will make you think about how small humans are. They look like tiny black dots, densely packed together.
"What are you looking at?" Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at Noel who had been looking out. Obviously, he was not looking at the scenery, but looking for something, and then he fixed his eyes firmly on one place.
"Look at number 72."
Zhu Fu Jingguang followed Noel's gaze and saw that the lone passenger in the Ferris wheel cabin with the number 72 was somewhat conspicuous.
A little strange.
After all, would a man normally come to an amusement park to ride the Ferris wheel alone? Morofushi Jingguang couldn't help but wonder, but the strangest thing at the moment was why Grappa paid so much attention to No. 72.
Noel looked very carefully. He took careful note of the other person's clothes. After all, as he was face-blind, he didn't expect to remember his appearance.
After getting off the Ferris wheel, Morofushi Jingguang found that the man at seat 72 left quickly. Before he had time to think about it, he heard Noel's voice coming from above.
"I'm going to get an ice cream. You wait here."
He looked at Noel's departing back and sat on the chair, feeling a little confused.
Although it's strange for a police officer to say this, is it really okay to just put myself here to buy ice cream when there are police officers next to me? !
There are police? Morofushi Jingguang immediately realized that something was wrong. An ordinary amusement park couldn't have so many official police officers. What happened?
Soon, mermaids in police uniforms came in. Even though those people were in plain clothes, Morobushi Jingguang could still identify them at the first sight by the training marks left by their walking habits.
"Little brother, are you alone?" A short-haired police officer spotted Morofushi Jingguang who was alone, and seeing that there was no one around who looked like a guardian, he immediately came to his side.
"No, I came here with my brother. He went out to buy ice cream." Zhufu Jingguang answered obediently.
"I'm a police officer. There's been an accident on the Ferris wheel. Can I take you to a safe place to wait for your brother?"
Obviously, the policewoman was not being lenient towards Morobuchi Jingguang just because he was a child, and she advised him very gently.
Morofushi Kagemitsu looked at the ID that the policewoman took out. Sato Miwako looked like a very outstanding junior.
"Yeah." He responded obediently, stood up, hesitated for a while, and took the hand that Officer Sato extended to him, and told himself frantically that he was just a child now.
"Confirmed, the bomb should be inside the Ferris wheel. Has the explosive ordnance disposal team arrived?"
"Please hurry up, I'm already off the Ferris wheel."
Morofushi Kagemitsu held Sato's hand and clearly heard what the police officer in a brown coat beside him said on the phone.
Bomb? He became more alert, but suddenly thought of his current identity. Not only would he be of no help, but it might even backfire.
If those guys were here, they would definitely come to help. He thought of his classmates, but he remembered that Hagiwara and Matsuda both chose to join the explosives disposal team after graduation...
"Inspector Megure, have you finished evacuating the crowd?"
Several voices passed by, and the unique lazy and low voice of Matsuda Jinpei passed by his ears. Morofushi Kagemitsu clearly saw the two people in the lead. They were his peers whom he had not seen for many years.
Apparently, the two people who were rushing there did not notice Morobushi Kagemitsu.
Yes, they are all in Tokyo, joining the explosives disposal team.
Morofushi Kagemitsu tried his best to resist the urge to look back and followed Officer Sato in the opposite direction of the two men.
It’s great that everyone is moving towards their dreams.
He thought so.
But then, more important things immediately occupied his mind. He went to buy some ice-cream grappa. Why hadn't he come back yet?
