Chapter 177 Thirty-three Vigilantes
When Furiya Rei came out of the airport, the first thing he did was to take out his cell phone and check the messages.
He was chatting with Akae Nazuki before boarding the plane, but for some reason the person on the other side suddenly disappeared. Before the plane landed, Furuya Rei was wondering what the little devil wanted to say to him. The flight of more than an hour seemed as unbearable as ten hours.
Gongan, who actually has a lot of self-control, sighed: It's because Aka has basically never sent him a message using a mobile phone since they met in this world, although he also knows that this is to fit in with their current personalities...
As he thought about it, Furiya Rei's expression became very subtle.
During the time when the main world was just merged, Akajina's memory briefly stopped at the age of 18 due to sequelae. Kaluya thought that he had not yet left the organization, so thanks to that experience, the few of them almost knew what kind of personality Akajina at the age of 18 was.
Therefore, when he first knew that his friend was going to play his 17-year-old self here, Furuya Rei was in agony for a while. Given the little devil's superb acting skills and flexible moral standards when playing pranks, was he really just acting in the end and not having fun in person? This was clearly giving Akae Nagetsu a chance to have fun!
Fortunately, Akae Nazuki, who could see that he was thinking about something rude, erased this horrible idea from his mind. Only then did Furuya Rei realize how tragic the little devil's alter ego here had a past... so tragic that it was actually in sync with Batman in a certain sense.
Of course, he did not show sympathy to Akae Nazuki because of this, otherwise, Furuya Ling would be sure that when he went to Hokkaido for a "vacation" this time, he would not only meet Hiro, but the squad leader and others would all be online, oh, and maybe even Instructor Onizuka would be there.
After all, no matter who you offend, you should never offend that vengeful little devil.
All in all, not only does Furuya Rei have no objection to his friend showing off his acting skills in this world, he is also looking forward to it.
He can't be the only one injured, right? It would be nice to see Hiro and the others' expressions when they were injured.
Furukaya Rei didn't know that in order to prevent Akae Nazuki from leaving behind the dark history of "Asa", the past of the seventeen-year-old Kaluya in this world that she told him was all processed.
To be precise, the only real part of the memory is the one that Chijiang Nayue had obtained before, that is, up to the time when the old man pua him as a child. The rest, including his acquaintance with Chaoyue, are all Chijiang Nayue's script.
It’s the same old saying, if you want to fool everyone you must first fool yourself.
Chijiang Nayue felt no guilt at all about this, and even felt very justified.
It is not difficult to create a character in this world where 'Chijiang Nayue' no longer exists in the past, present or future. He incorporated most of his own real experiences in the process of writing the script, but some parts have been artistically processed. In essence, they are still 'truths' that are qualified to be recognized by the world.
In order to ensure drama and conflict, he even prepared three versions, one is the 'unnamed perspective version' told to Rei Furutani, the other two are the 'fairy tale version that has been completely rewritten' told to the young detective, and the 'Asa's perspective version' that represents the truth.
If you think about it this way, he is truly the epitome of someone who loves what he does. The world consciousness that has so deeply offended him should be grateful for his diligence in carrying out his mission as the savior.
Yes, it was for work, and it was definitely not a deliberate revenge with the pseudonymous Asa using such a stomach-breaking plot that was enough to kill someone.
Well, absolutely not.
While waiting for the news to be uploaded, Rei Furuya, who knew nothing about this at the moment, couldn't help but recall his short vacation.
When he arrived in Hokkaido, he met the subordinates that Akae Nazuki had informed in advance, but they just sent him to the hot spring hotel booked by his friend and left.
Furiya Rei also wanted to complain about why he came to the hot spring at this time of year, but his actual actions were more sincere and he relaxed in the hot spring pool that night.
Then a murder occurred in the hotel where he was staying.
Furutani Rei woke up in the middle of the night with a low mood, and was about to go see why it was so noisy. Unfortunately, he met Morobushi Keimitsu who was also woken up in the middle of his sleep.
The two people wearing the same hotel yukata stood in front of the door and looked at each other, both feeling the awkwardness in the air.
Even though he knew from the beginning that he would meet this world's Morobuchi Kagemitsu this time, Furuya Rei never expected it to be under such circumstances, and he didn't know whether to say it was okay or not. Anyway, the corpse lying on the ground behind the opened door the next moment barely broke the strange atmosphere between them, and the two of them immediately got into work mode.
The result of their temporary cooperation was that it took less than ten minutes for the criminal's carefully arranged secret room and the murder method he had prepared for a long time to be cracked. The criminal did not react until he was handcuffed and dragged away from the crowd by the police, and his expression was frozen in disbelief.
Where on earth do so many detectives come from? He went to Hokkaido to commit crimes and still met two of them in the hotel, and they were elite detectives... Why didn't he have such good luck when he was betting on horses!
At that time, Furuya Rei had no time to speculate about the criminal's collapse. Instead, he kept in mind to play the character he and his friends had agreed on, pretending to be only vaguely familiar with Morobushi Kagemitsu and not have a complete memory of him. Even so, the subconscious tacit understanding on some small details could not be completely concealed.
Oh, Furuya Rei wasn't actually prepared to cover it up.
The former top mystic and intelligence officer of the organization knew exactly how to disguise himself in order to deceive Morobushi Kagemitsu, who was the person who was most familiar with "Furutani Rei" in the world. It was completely useless to just pretend to have lost his memory.
Details like these that are inadvertently revealed and actively captured and deduced by the other party are the most likely to gain people's trust.
To sum up, after the two of them worked together perfectly, Morofushi Kagemitsu finally confirmed that Toru Amuro, who is currently serving as the chairman's butler, is actually Rei Furuya, his childhood friend who died a little early.
With the case interrupting their conversation, both of them couldn't fall asleep, so they just sat in the corridor of the courtyard and talked calmly. This allowed Morofushi Keimitsu to roughly understand Furuya Rei's current condition, and also allowed the "amnesiac" Furuya Rei to learn about his former identity and some of his past.
Let’s not talk about the latter, as for the former…
The memories ended here, and Fūya Rei was distracted. The message had already been loaded on the screen in front of him.
【from:Xiaohong
By the way, when you come back, you can stop by the Metropolitan Police Department to pick up Conan.
If the flight wasn’t delayed, I would have just made it. XD】
...even sent emojis? Furiya Rei felt a little uneasy, staring at the screen seriously for a long while before putting away his phone.
It seems that Aka is in a good mood now. I really feel sorry for the poor man who sacrificed himself to make the little devil happy - ah, I guess it is the little detective who is waiting to be caught by him in the Metropolitan Police Department.
Furutani Rei got into the car that his friend had driven to the parking lot in advance, turned the steering wheel, and drove straight away from the airport to the Metropolitan Police Department.

At this time, Conan Edogawa was sitting in the lounge of the Investigation Division 1, holding the juice poured by Sato Miwako in his hand, and accepting the safety education given by Date Kou with a sad face.
"——Anyway, next time you see something like this, don't rush over alone. You should notify us immediately and then try to stop him as much as you can." After talking for a long time, Date Kou concluded with a dark face, "You knew he had a gun in his hand and still rushed over? Conan, do you think you can dodge the bullets?"
Ida Kou glanced at the young detective who seemed to want to say something, and added: "Next time you put yourself in danger, those dangerous tools that Professor Agasa made for you will be confiscated."
The young detective completely stopped talking and sat down obediently to continue listening to the lecture.
When Date Kou and his men rushed to the rooftop, the man who called himself Asazuki had already left. They only confirmed the authenticity of Conan's words by checking the surveillance on the building opposite. They actually saw the man raising a gun and attempting to commit suicide.
This made Officer Date very angry, as this was not the first time that Date Ko had caught Conan in such extremely dangerous situations.
This boy, who just turned seven, is like a little loach tied to the crime scene. If you're not careful, he could slip into a dangerous or child-unfriendly place, and he's so slippery that he's impossible to catch.
Really, didn't Senior Maori teach Conan to pay more attention to personal safety? Date Kou thought with a headache, this is in Tokyo, even he can't always arrive at the destination quickly, if there is a mistake, the boy will suffer unimaginable injuries.
...No, if you think about it carefully, this kid often gets injured because of being at various crime scenes.
He admires Conan's genius reasoning ability, but as a policeman and a qualified adult who is almost thirty years old, Date Kou cannot allow Conan to continue to act without regard for his safety.
Just as he was about to say something else, there was a knock on the lounge door.
"Officer Date, someone is here to pick up Conan." said the person outside.
Date Kou thought it was Maori Kogoro's place, so he said nothing more, tapped the boy on the head and drove him out: "Be careful, Conan."
Only Conan knew that the person who came to pick him up could not be an uncle, so, could it be that the chairman came all the way from the manor to the Metropolitan Police Department?
So he successfully made eye contact with Rei Furuya who came to pick up his child.
"Let's go, Conan-kun." Furuya Rei said with a smile, "On the way back, tell me how you ended up visiting the Metropolitan Police Department on your way home."
Conan climbed into the car with his head down and dejected.
He really didn't expect that the person who would come to pick him up would be this young butler, who had actually returned from vacation.
The little detective in the back seat's eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, the professor mentioned Mr. Amuro as a control group before, so can he ask Mr. Amuro to find out the answer that Wuming rejected him?
With this in mind, Conan tentatively asked his own question: "Mr. Amuro is also very skilled, why doesn't he just help Wuming on night patrol as a partner? If there is one more person, the night patrol work will be easier."
Only then did Toru Amuro realize that Conan had already discovered the equal relationship between the chairman and Wuming. He was not too surprised and began to think seriously about Conan's question.
This question...
"Because he rejected me." Fūya Rei shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "I mentioned it many times, but he chose to refuse every time. It seems that letting me help as an assistant in the base is the maximum limit he can accept."
This is what Conan guessed, and he asked: "Why? Obviously, partners can share more things, right?"
"Maybe it's because his partner will share more with him."
Furiya Ling drove the car without looking away and replied calmly: "The young master has always felt that he would bring misfortune to others. He trusts my ability, but he doesn't trust how many life-and-death crises he would bring to me, so he would suppress the possibility of me getting into danger from the very beginning."
It is because the chairman placed Mr. Amuro in an important position that he dared not let Mr. Amuro become Wuming's partner, because while sharing the work, the partner would inevitably share the dangers encountered by Wuming.
By the way, Rei Furuya recalled the character stories of Hiro that he had revealed to this world, and explained them to Conan casually.
"In fact, I only met the young master a month or two ago." The blond young man recalled, "I didn't remember anything when I woke up. It was the young master who picked me up and took me home. After he knew that I had lost my memory, he agreed to my request to stay. I don't know why, even though we only knew each other for a short time, we really regarded each other as family, but this is the limit of the young master."
After thinking about it, Furuya Ling added: "In a close relationship."
Therefore, Wuming will acquiesce to Conan's exploration of his identity, will remember to find opportunities to guide Conan, and rely on his own strength to protect Conan, but he will never agree to let Conan become his partner.
It's not really because Wuming doesn't need a partner, it's just that -
Wuming could not bear the pain of losing someone important again.
Looking at the child's thoughtful expression, Furiya Rei looked away without any guilt.
What's wrong? He is definitely not Wuming's partner.
He is the little devil's partner.
