"Ikaros?"

The man sitting on the chair repeated the name with a puzzled expression, and then suddenly realized, "Are you talking about the mysterious person who sent the message to Aso on Moon Shadow Island?"

"Conan, why do you suspect that I am this mysterious person?"

In Conan's eyes, the man in light blue casual home clothes spoke in a lazy tone, his slightly long black hair faintly covered his gray-green eyes, and his mouth corners were flat. He knew that except for pretending to raise the corners of his mouth in front of strangers, or occasionally laughing from the bottom of his heart in front of acquaintances, Kong Ge was very stingy with his expressions at other times.

I have to say, if Conan hadn't already known a lot about Natsukawa Sora, he would definitely not have asked so casually. The expressionless Natsukawa Sora lost the illusion of gentleness and harmlessness. The upturned eyebrows and sharp facial lines, the straight corners of the mouth and the cold eyes all gave people a dangerous and cold feeling.

"Because Ikaros knows too much about what happened on the island." Conan paused and gave his guess. "From the first letter, we can infer that Ikaros had investigated the situation on Tsukikage Island a long time ago and deduced the truth and sent it to Aso Makoto. But the second letter seems to be a temporary adjustment of the plan based on the situation on the spot and sent to Aso Shimizu."

"Although it is speculated that Ikaros should be proficient in computer technology, the surveillance equipment on Moon Shadow Island is old and I am afraid it will not be of much use. But Brother Kong, you still brought a computer, right? I remember that your bag was very heavy, it should be a computer."

Actually, there are also pistols, Noel added in his mind.

"So you think Ikaros himself is on the island?" Noel asked softly. Seeing Conan nodded seriously, Noel couldn't help but laugh. He was so cute.

"Brother Kong, what are you laughing at?" The tense atmosphere was broken by Noel's laughter. Conan asked helplessly with a frown on his face.

"Conan, these reasons can't be considered as reasoning, they can only be speculations."

"I know." Conan said helplessly, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to ask so suddenly. These doubts were not enough to serve as evidence, at most they were just possibilities.

"But this guess is amazing, you are indeed a genius child." Noel finally exclaimed, then pushed Conan back to the living room, neither confirming nor denying the matter of Ikaros.

Conan felt that he was being ignored and would not force the question. As he thought, without sufficient evidence, he would not doubt the other party just because of his attitude. What's more, Ikaros should be a good person.

Conan thought so.

/Noel, the time is tomorrow, the location is this villa, and a murder will happen. The information you prepared in advance has been sent to Nakahara Kaori. I have also added a lot of cases related to plagiarism in thesis. She should stop. /

Not long after the kids from the Young Detectives left, Noel received a message from Noah's Ark.

Noel replied calmly.

/I don't remember this./

/I don't know why, Noel./

Noel looked at the reply from Noah's Ark and quickly realized that his memory had been tampered with. He immediately began to sort it out in order in his mind.

I am Noel, and I have gained the memories of a human from a higher-dimensional world called Summer, where this world was a comic book.

So that's how it is. I should remember everything, but now the details are fuzzy. I just know that Conan is the protagonist of this world, and the main plot is to fight against the organization he belongs to. I still know the main plots like the police academy group and the Akai family, but the details of each small daily case are fuzzy...

I now roughly know that a murder will happen in this villa, and the victim will be a professor. I also roughly know that the murderer is a woman, but I have no memory of the motive and method of committing the crime. Noah's Ark is a backup plan I prepared for myself, which can make the investigation more clear, but I am afraid that I can only speculate through the clues found on the Internet, and the accuracy rate of preventing crimes will be greatly reduced...

Does that mean I have prevented a lot of cases before?

Thinking of this, Noel's eyes flashed with confusion.

Am I so kind as to stop these everyday cases? Although these everyday cases are top priority for the deceased, I have long been numb to them as I have a complete memory of Conan...

So I was trying to...test the limits of this world? That's my style, but I could just save a few people. Why should I continue? Why should I use Noah's Ark as a backup? It would be very troublesome to rely on the remaining memories and bits of data to stop it. I might even have my memory erased again.

"Noel, Peanut Butter is awake, don't you want to come and see him?"

"Peanut butter, what a weird name." Noel couldn't help but mutter, but he also stood up and walked towards the living room. He half squatted and slowly moved closer.

The little black cat, who had slept all day, stared at the human who was slowly approaching it with its round green eyes. Three seconds later, it suddenly stretched out its short legs and rushed over, hugged Noel's calf and began to pull upwards.

"What the hell?" This scared Noel, and he stood stiffly without moving, allowing the other person to quickly crawl to his knees and try to get into Noel's arms.

"After all, you were the one who saved him, so maybe he still remembers it." Jing Guang looked at the two pairs of green eyes turning to look at him at the same time, both with a dazed look, and the synchronization rate was very high, which made him unable to resist wanting to touch them, and in his heart he regretted that he could not raise both of them together.

"I just gave him a cardboard box." Noel thought about the scene that night and suddenly realized that there was no good reason why he collapsed in the alley in such a desperate manner. He might have lost some of his memories.

"I think your help is very important to it, so it is so close to you." Morobushi Jingguang's blue-purple eyes were full of gentle smiles, and he said with a little praise: "You have grown a lot, Noel."

"Don't play that. I'm an adult." Noel turned his head away, not wanting to look at the other person's kind eyes, secretly smug in his heart.

I help more than just kittens.

Damn, he seems to know where the Ikaros number came from...

"Isn't Peanut Butter a bad name?" Unaware of the situation, Akemi Miyano came over with the freshly prepared cat food. She heard Noel's dissatisfaction with the name in the kitchen.

"I think calling her Xiaolu is more appropriate," Noel said seriously.

"Uh..." Zhufu Jingguang was silent for a moment, as if he thought of the fact that it was useless to name his child. For example, all the names of the supporting characters in the comics were thought up by him, otherwise all the names would be in the format of "Xiao+color". However, he still followed Noel's train of thought and asked: "Shouldn't it be Xiaohei?"

"Someone called Xiao Hei."

Even though he is a scumbag who starts messing around and gives up in the end!

———

The days seemed to have returned to normal. Noel returned home as Natsukawa Sora and enjoyed the treatment of having a guardian to cook for him again. He did not mention what happened during the time he disappeared, and Jingguang did not ask. Apart from the organizational tasks that had to be completed, Noel stayed at home every day according to his nature. He had to replenish his comic manuscripts in time, and he also had an additional job that consumed more energy.

The case of Snowstorm Villa had been planned in advance. The original murderer, Nakahara Kaori, did not kill anyone, but took the other party to court. Of course, the plagiarism of the thesis would not result in a heavy sentence, but it was enough to make the professor unable to hold his head up in the academic world. Nakahara Kaori also had a bright future because she had such a heavyweight thesis at such a young age, instead of being sent to prison for the murder case.

This ending should be good, Noel thought, and then looked at the new information sent by Noah's Ark.

According to the sequence of the data, a live murder case was going to happen. Because of the warning letter I sent to the murderer Matsuo in advance, the other party chose to give up. It is unknown what will happen in the end, but the host of the show has not been replaced. The two friends should have reconciled...

Then comes the first appearance of Xiaolan's mother, Eri Kisaki, and the murder case that accompanies it. Based on the name given in the information, Noel can easily find out the cause of the murder. The cheating man was forced to marry by his lover, which led to the man killing his lover. Noel directly sent the photos of the cheating to the man's wife. Presumably, the man who was busy getting a divorce had no time to kill.

Then, there was the Kiritengu murder case, and Noel frowned as he thought about the case.

He roughly figured out the murderer's motive this time, which was to avenge his brother who died two years ago. And based on the fact that the deceased should be the abbot, he also knew that the murderer who killed his brother was the abbot... How should he persuade people to take revenge? Noel was a little confused.

The temple was not connected to the internet, so he could not find too much detailed information. Noel thought about it and wrote a letter to the other party, saying that he knew the other party wanted to kill people, so he tried to stop it first. After all, murderers usually carry out their plans with the hope that they will not be discovered...

"Why don't we go and check it out ourselves?" Noel took out his cell phone to check the exact location. He wanted to ask Jingguang if he wanted to go out and play, but suddenly he found an extra text message in his cell phone.

/Hairy paranoid patient: Your lover has been very disobedient recently, why don’t you come and check it out? /

Noel's expression froze. There was only one person in the organization who had clear rumors against him, and that was Shirley. What did Gin mean?

/Boss orders not to see her. /

/I thought you would want to see her one last time. /

It seems that Shirley already knows about her sister's situation. She has probably already started to suspend her drug research to protest. This means that Haibara Ai will soon appear. Knowing that the other party will be fine, Noel naturally calmed down and asked calmly:

/Gin, do you want me to disobey the boss's orders? /

/Wouldn't it be interesting to let that woman witness her enemy before she dies?/

Tch, Noel curled his lips. Gin's statement turned the clue that could have allowed him to find a big piece of trash to sow discord between them into something that was just the result of personal bad taste. He was not happy.

/Hello, what's the matter? /

/Here are your next tasks, which will make for a busy weekend. /

What followed was enough work to keep Noel busy for more than a weekend, which made him completely silent.

Damn piece of trash, are you thinking you won’t live long so you’re going to squeeze me a little more?

But there is no way. During this period, I should be in a critical period to see whether my brainwashed state is stable. If I slack off, I will definitely be suspected.

It seems that we can't go to this temple, but since we have been warned, it shouldn't be a big problem.

A few days later, the Kiri Tengu murder incident happened as usual.
