Chapter 215 Nine Gachapon
"You really can't think of anything?"
Edogawa Conan was held face down in Akae Nazuki's arms, his limbs hanging naturally while he spoke, and his subconsciousness tugged at the air twice, making him look like a paper doll being held.
He continued to ask, "Besides looking familiar, what else do they have to do with...?"
Since they were still outside, Conan swallowed the middle word with a little hesitation.
"Maybe." After a little thought, Chi Jiang Na Yue nodded honestly, without continuing the previous bad taste, and pointed out straightforwardly, "But they should have nothing to do with that matter."
It was quite interesting to see the kids misunderstanding and making the curly-haired idiot and his friends their imaginary enemies, which added a bit of infighting to the red team. However, Akae Nazuki was still not happy about having the names of Matsuda Jinpei and others associated with the organization.
Ugh, bad luck, that's too bad! The old man doesn't deserve it, even if he's dead. The young savior was in pain in his heart.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief.
He could almost sense that Zero was a detective whose reasoning was much better than his, and he had a strong desire to control the things around him, so if Matsuda and the others were really related to the organization, Zero would definitely not draw such a quick conclusion and pass it over.
To be honest, he really doesn't want to stand on the opposite side of such a powerful police officer who has been in the Metropolitan Police Department for a long time and looks like the future pillar of the police... Well, in fact, he didn't think that Officer Matsuda and his team would have any connection with the organization.
Chi Jiang Na Yue flicked the kid's head at the right time, and then ruffled the kid's messy black short hair casually: "Don't think too much, you are a primary school student. You still have to go to class on time tomorrow, right? I will check this with you after the holiday. There is no rush."
It's [with you] instead of [taking you with me], it's [wait until the holiday] instead of [going alone]...
Conan groaned and tried to remove the hands that were rubbing his head, unwilling to admit that he was comforted by these words.
Since he was little, people around him have treated him like a real child.
Although this is true in their eyes, for a 17-year-old high school boy with a fixed basic outlook on life, he would rather be treated as an equal communication partner rather than a child who needs to be carefully cared for.
Oh, the "child theory" that Zero mentioned before doesn't count. Conan knows that this guy didn't really protect him the way he would protect a seven-year-old child just because he looks only seven years old. In Zero's eyes, he is still "Kudo Shinichi" instead of "Edogawa Conan".
This made Conan feel very relaxed about talking to Zero. He really didn't want to experience the feeling of being helpless and having no say like a child.
Zero will take care of and protect him before himself in dangerous situations. This is not because he is a child, but because in Zero's eyes, it is normal for an elder brother to protect his younger brother.
So Zero would not exclude him from the investigation to protect him. He should be more inclined to keep him by his side to teach him? Guide him? That's the word, after all, Zero is a little control freak!
Conan, who subconsciously began to analyze his cheap brother's inner personality in his mind, trying to help him regain his memory in this way, did not notice that at some point when Akae Nazuki was carrying him onto the motorcycle, she seemed to inadvertently glance across the rooftop of the opposite building.
Thank you to all my classmates in this world.
The savior thought happily: Now he doesn't need to spend his rest time investigating.
Thanks to the fact that his classmate Zhufu had just performed a long flashback kill when he saw his face, the world consciousness judged that his identity was temporarily passed and gave him the memory related to the other party's flashback kill content.
——In short, when classmate Zhufu recalled that memory, the same memory from the perspective of "classmate Akae" himself appeared simultaneously in Akae Nazuki's mind.
Of course, there is no second half, because at that time, the Chijiang classmate here had already turned into ashes that could not be held.
Chijiang Nayue hummed a tune, put the child in front of her, turned him over, and put a helmet on the child's head.
Ask him what he saw in that memory.
Well, it's probably about a cold star being melted by a group of gorillas, and finally exploding into a supernova, arrogantly causing the black organization with tentacles all over the world to use one third of its power and a boss to bury itself with it. This is probably the story.
Even though the Chijiang classmate from seven years ago was different from him and only wanted to be a star and had no interest in being the sun, he couldn't forget...
Most of the stars that we can see in the sky at night are the same stars as the sun.
When Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji crawled out from the mess of their colleagues who were suddenly attacked by a sniper, Akae Nazuki had already put on his helmet, and the two of them could only see the pair of eyes that were exposed because the goggles had not been pulled down.
The water is red, like the eyes of a frozen deep pool.
Recalling the memory in which the fleeing classmate Akae took great pains to pick up the unlucky Hagiwara, Akae Nayue is now very unhappy with these two people.
Idiots who don't take protective measures should be punched.
"Is there anything else, officers?" The black-haired young man, whose registered name was Furuya Rei, asked listlessly, "If you have nothing else to do, please let me go. My brother has to go home to do his homework."
Conan Edogawa, who was forced to go home to do his homework, puffed his cheeks and pinched the soft flesh on his brother's waist... Damn, why does Zero only have abdominal muscles and no soft flesh, so disgusting!
The first thing that occurred to Kenji Hagiwara on the other side was, 'Do first-graders nowadays need to go home early to complete their homework?' But the next second he realized that it was just an excuse made up by the other party.
But because of that name and those eyes, even Officer Hagiwara, who has a very high EQ, believed it for a second.
Matsuda Jinpei next to him was even quicker than him to complain: "Don't give seven-year-old elementary school students more useless homework."
It was as if Akane Natsuki was awakened by their shouting. She looked over and smiled lazily: "Whether it is useful or not is up to me, your brother, to decide. Don't you agree, Conan?"
He patted the helmet of the child in his arms twice, lightly, as if he were patting a watermelon. Watermelon - no, Conan struggled angrily.
"Actually, I wanted to ask if Furuya-san is interested in knowing the development of this case." Ever since he knew that 'Furuya Rei' was a college student, Hagiwara Kenji has been calling him by this name. He hooked his childhood friend's neck, smiled skillfully, and made up an excuse, "Why don't you add a line and send you the follow-up later?"
Although the call of "Furutani-san" was directed to Akae Nazuki, another face appeared in the minds of the three people present except Edogawa Conan, and Akae Nazuki almost burst out laughing.
No, no, the scene of that golden-haired idiot being politely called "Furuya-san" is too funny. The guy in his world is already thirty years old. Especially when this title comes from Hagi, who always just calls him "Furuya-chan"...
"Hey, your excuse is too fake." Matsuda Jinpei punched his childhood friend and complained in a low voice, but the next second he heard the young man on the motorcycle opposite nodded in agreement.
Hagiwara Kenji said something perfunctorily to him, and quickly added Akae Nazuki as his friend. Afterwards, his smile became more genuine, and his grape-purple eyes took on a serious look.
"Please be careful on the road, Fūya-kun."
In response to him, the other party pulled down their black goggles. The big detective holding the little detective waved his hand casually, stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
The three people present all knew that the excuse Hagiwara Kenji just gave was really insincere, and since the other party knew this and still agreed to exchange contact information, the matter became delicate.
Kenji Hagihara stopped at the door of the restaurant and looked at the several "private cars" around him that quietly followed the motorcycle. He couldn't help but sigh and touched his lips with the pointed corner of his mobile phone.
"That's why the adult world is really complicated," he said jokingly.
"You talk as if you are very young." Matsuda Jinpei yawned and dragged him away mercilessly by his collar. "Let's go back to work overtime, Officer Hagiwara, who is almost 30 years old."
"Xiao Zhenping, you don't understand. A man is in his prime at 31..."
"What a greasy speech! I'm about to throw up my dinner. Please spare me."
They walked away noisily.
"Come to think of it, I thought you would be very unhappy and go up to punch Fūya-san first." Hagiwara Kenji turned his head and said to Koujinran with a smile.
Matsuda Jinpei rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, you don't even believe what you say."
The people who graduated at the same time as Furuya Rei are not stupid. As early as seven years ago, when they couldn't contact their three friends who suddenly disappeared, they guessed that they probably accepted some dangerous missions and went undercover or something.
The only thing that worries people is that now even Furuya Rei and Morobushi Kagemitsu can occasionally find time to meet with them secretly, but Akae-san has never shown up. When they ask the two of them, they will only say that the other party is carrying out a more confidential mission and even they don't know the inside story.
What kind of mission would require you to disappear for seven years after completing it?
After basically confirming in the restaurant that this 'Furiya Rei' who looked like Akae was indeed related to them, the two of them couldn't help but get excited - this was the first time in seven years that they had caught up with a classmate of the same class who had disappeared for a long time.
Even if 'Furiya Rei' was just a villain who pretended to be Akae to go fishing, it was enough to prove that he had at least had close contact with Akae, otherwise he would not have come to test these two former classmates.
When Hagiwara Kenji was talking to the other party, he found that there were many eyes secretly watching this place. He also roughly guessed that they might be people from the public security. It was not difficult for him to conclude that the appearance of this 'Furiya Rei' was not a coincidence.
The words "be careful on the road" were a kind reminder from the other party using that identity and name, but judging from his reaction, he probably discovered it from the beginning.
Kenji-chan suffered a major defeat - oh well, there was one good thing about it, at least he got added to Furuya-san's line.
As for what the two of them saw but didn't say, about why Matsuda Jinpei didn't go up and punch the other person... no matter that person was Akae classmate or the real Furuya Rei acting, not destroying the other person's script before the other person finished performing was the highest respect they could give to someone who was most likely an old classmate and good friend.
To put it more simply, in the words of Jinpei Matsuda, it means 'I don't want to beat up a blond bastard with a little devil's face, or a little devil with a blond bastard's name.'
Look, the other party was fully aware of their probing but still agreed to exchange contact information, which was their silent approval of their subsequent tracking actions.
Kenji Hagiwara stretched his back in the driver's seat and said, "So, the adult world is really complicated. If it were a child, he would probably just go up to the other person and ask who he is and what his purpose is, right?"
"Are you talking about the detective next to him?" Matsuda Jinpei replied casually while leaning against the window and pressing his phone. "When that guy heard us talking about 'Furuya', his expression made me think he was going to rush over and ask us what our purpose was."
Hagiwara Kenji immediately leaned over the steering wheel and said, "Little Zhenping, is this why you deliberately frightened the child?"
Holding an unlit cigarette in his mouth, the curly-haired officer snorted and chuckled.
On the other side, Akae Nazuki pretended not to notice the police following them, but Conan himself noticed something was wrong and tried to stick his head out from under his arm to take a look back.
Then Chi Jiang Na Yue pushed him back with one hand: "Obey traffic rules when riding a bike, don't poke your head around, little detective."
"Is it the public security?" Conan accurately grasped the loophole in the temporary guardian's reaction, "If it was someone from the organization, you wouldn't be able to drive so steadily."
"If you want to say that I will take you out directly, just say it." Chi Jiang Na Yue curled her lips, "But, yes, it is the police. Do you want to guess why they are secretly following us?"
Conan said quietly, "Brother Zero, you lost contact with your superiors after you were kidnapped."
The little detective came to a conclusion.
"So maybe they thought you were missing and are now chasing you because you suddenly reappeared?"
"Correct it." Chi Jiang Na Yue said sternly, and the motorcycle skidded to a stop in front of their house. He took off his helmet openly, ensuring that the police who were monitoring the place could record his entire face and show it to some unlucky guy whose name he had borrowed.
"They didn't think I was missing, they thought I died in the line of duty."
The Gachapon brother, who is currently an illegal in this world, showed the same gentle smile as Morobushi Kagemitsu and said calmly: "After all, I am using the face of a dead person and a name that should not exist."
The little watermelon in his arms, the little detective, bumped his head against his head in dissatisfaction: "Change the word!"
"Okay, I thought it was the face of a dead person." Chijiang Nayue followed suit.
Conan dead fish eyes: "Is there any difference between the two? Now I am really more and more curious about how you were kidnapped by that organization. Could it be that they arrested you because you scolded them?"
Chijiang Nayue looked down at him and smiled tenderly.
Conan was horrified and felt like he had lost all hope in life: "...No way?!"
