Chapter 227 Twenty-one Gachapon
When the two people in the lounge came out together, the two bomb disposal police officers sitting on the sofa in the living room cast complicated glances at them. They recalled the conversation they had with two undercover agents who had not been seen for a long time in the garden in front of the castle ten minutes ago.
They had gone there with the intention of asking further questions, and they had their own guesses in their minds, so when they actually heard Amuro Toru say that "Akae-san died in the line of duty seven years ago," the two of them, who were a little mentally prepared, were not as unable to accept it as they were when they first made this guess.
Similarly, they didn't completely believe it... This doesn't mean that they suspected that Amuro Toru and the other two would lie to them, but that Akae did not die in the explosion that year.
"You also said that the police confirmed Xiao Nayue's death because the last location they sent intelligence to was the explosion center, and they haven't received any contact from him since then." Hagiwara Kenji analyzed clearly, "At the same time, you didn't find his body either - although it's normal that there is no body because it was at the explosion center."
"But why did he detonate the bomb there? It's impossible that he wanted to die so he went to the enemy's center to blow himself up." Matsuda Jinpei added, "And since there was a half-hour gap between the explosion and the information transmission, it's entirely possible that he escaped during that time."
At this point, Matsuda Jinpei also sneered: "Since that little bastard is so brave and skilled that he broke into the enemy headquarters alone, it is impossible that he did not prepare a retreat plan. Otherwise, what is he trying to do?"
This is the problem. Amuro Toru can actually guess the possible reason. His face is heavy: "...Revenge."
Before graduation, both the National Police Agency and the Metropolitan Police Department had contacted Akae. Later, Toru Amuro accidentally learned from his superior that Akae's parents were undercover agents who were sent to the organization and died.
Logically speaking, with Chijiang's personality, he would either join the police department and go undercover to organize an undercover organization, or go out for revenge on his own.
Considering that classmate Akae disappeared right after graduation, and reappeared in such a high-profile manner to cause serious damage to the organization, Toru Amuro naturally guessed that the other party chose the second option.
I have to say that Toru Amuro's guess was accurate, and he did have a pretty good understanding of the classmate Akae in this world. At least based on the information currently known about Akae Nayue, that classmate Akae did start living for revenge after the death of his parents.
For him, when his enemy, Karasuma Renya, died, he also lost the reason to live.
Even though he met these friends after entering the police academy, even though he knew he still had his family in Bermode and Shirley who treated him as a brother, it would be impossible for him to turn back so easily.
It's not because his good friends, the Shirley sisters and Bermode don't mean enough to him...it's just that the death of his parents is too heavy for him.
A person who has lost the reason to live will not want to climb up even if there is another rope hanging in front of him - if there is a possibility of falling down again after climbing up, it is better not to climb at all in the first place, regard revenge as the meaning of life, and just die like this.
The biggest difference in life between Akae and the savior Akae is that before the death of his parents became the latter's obsession, Dazai Osamu found him first and brought him back to Yokohama, and he lost those memories as a result. Since he doesn't remember anything, why would he be sad about it?
When Akae Nazuki thought about these things later, he had already found the reason for living and the meaning of death as Dazai Osamu wished, so it was even more impossible for him to want to die after killing Karasumaru Renya. Akae Nazuki even felt that if he stayed with the old man for too long, he would become rotten.
However, Akae has not had time to establish more bonds, nor has he found a reason to keep him alive.
So he died.
However, since Akae Nayue has come to this world, his mission is to bring back Akae, who died after revenge without permission. To do this, he must create enough reasons for the other party to live.
Conan, who exists as a younger brother in the family, is the first one, and the second one is the younger sister who has become Ai and is basically raised by Akae Nazuki.
This is not enough. Whether it is Vermode or Amuro Toru, these people must become the rope that can hold on to Akae.
His script also serves this goal - he chose the pseudonym of Furuya Rei to tease Amuro Toru, but part of the reason was also to attract the attention of the two undercover team members as quickly as possible and manually create an "important person" for Akae.
You see, even though he has lost his memory, he still remembers the name Rei Furuya. If this isn't great friendship, what is?
[You are just doing this for fun.] The only one who sees through everything is [Book], He complained in the mind of His own savior.
The Savior himself pretended not to hear.
How can borrowing names between friends be called a joke?
Although now almost everyone in the traffic class knows that there is a young handsome detective named Furuya Rei who likes racing very much. He comes to the traffic class every few days to pick up his motorcycle.
Although all the kids in the Junior Detective Team know that Conan's brother is called Furuya Rei, he is a complete brother-con and comes to school to pick up his brother after school every day.
Although young detectives like Hattori Heiji from Osaka know that the detective who has recently become famous in Tokyo is named Furuya, a genius named Ikemura.
although……
What's wrong? No one will associate the names of Furuya Rei and Amuro Toru together, right? He is helping.
Akae Nayue pretended to have forgotten the existence of her friend Morobushi Jingguang, who was also an undercover agent, and made up stories with a clear conscience.
As for Hagiwara and the others, they couldn't help but waver a little when Amuro Toru finally revealed the message of "revenge", as they originally thought that it was more likely that Akae was not dead.
They also knew Chijiang and how stubborn and vindictive that guy was, especially since the organization had killed Chijiang's parents, who valued their family the most...
With mixed feelings, Jinpei Matsuda returned to the castle and sat on the sofa. He also began to have a stomachache: thinking about it this way, that heartless little bastard might really do something to die together with his enemy!
He rubbed his hair irritably and made a decision in his mind.
——In short, first confirm the detective’s true identity. If he is a little bastard, beat him up once and let him play with people’s mentality like this; if he is not a little bastard, beat him up twice and let him walk around with the face of a dead person.
So the detective better be serious, or else his casserole-sized fist is about to fall.
Over there, Akae Nazuki, who walked into the living room holding Conan, buried her face behind the child and sneezed quietly behind her mask.
Conan wrinkled his nose and asked worriedly, "Did the rain just now really give you a cold?"
Wearing a mask was just a safety measure taken by Conan. He had never heard the detective sneeze before.
"...No, I feel like someone is thinking bad things about me again." The detective raised his head and made the same expression as him. The big and small seemed to be in sync. "Besides, I have never caught a cold before."
"There's nothing to be proud of about this kind of thing." Conan twitched his mouth and complained.
When alone in the lounge, the detective finally did not fall asleep while listening to the bedtime story. Instead, he took the initiative to tell Conan what he currently knew and the information he had deduced, including the fact that he had been brainwashed and controlled by the organization's boss to become a killer for many years.
Conan didn't have any extra thoughts about this - he wouldn't have any extra thoughts. Not to mention that being a killer is a controlled thing, the detective's age at the time was even younger than Conan's own real age.
Even if they have some thoughts, they are probably sad that the boss of the organization does nothing and drags young children into the vortex of crime.
In the face of crimes that have already been committed, only the law can judge. As a detective, Conan's only mission is to uncover the truth, and Akae Nazuki told him all the truth... Conan's first reaction was actually, since he is a graduate of the police academy, then maybe Nazuki can become a tainted witness for the public security in the future?
If it really doesn't work, he asked his father to find a way to contact the FBI. They would probably be willing to use a witness protection plan in exchange for the information about the organization that Brother Yue knew.
It can be said that the detective has now almost remembered the earliest memories of the killer, but he has not yet remembered the events before and after his parents' death and his own death.
In fact, Chijiang Nayue has now obtained the memories of the police academy, but the detective in the script does not know that these people are his friends yet.
Conan had to comfort the detective instead, telling him not to worry, that he would find an opportunity to restore his memory sooner or later.
"Detective, are you okay?" Hagiwara asked worriedly, "If you're still feeling uncomfortable, why don't you get some more sleep?"
The detective who was holding his brother firmly shook his head. For some reason, his expression towards them became much softer. He no longer had an invisible wall between them like before. "Thank you for your concern. I'm much better now."
The expressions of Hagiwara and the other three turned serious without a trace. They looked at each other and exchanged glances: It's incredible, the detective's attitude is so different from before, he even said so many words!
He was planning to strike while the iron was hot and say a few more words, preferably to ask the detective why he fainted after seeing the tombstone. At this moment, the door of the living room opened again, and the young detective team who had previously dragged Haibara Ai to follow the butler to go outside for "adventure" ran in. Walking behind them were the old butler and a man who was a stranger to everyone present.
Speaking of housekeepers.
"The driver who brought us here before didn't stay and left directly." Conan, who knew a little more than the detective, explained in a low voice, although he thought the detective probably saw this information at a glance, "The housekeeper has worked here for ten years. In addition, there is also a chef here, and the other servants are not here."
The one who invited them to the party was the owner of the castle, Masazo Tsuji, who was said to be taking a nap in his room at the time. The last person left was Masazo Tsuji's daughter, Yuri Tsuji, who was said by the housekeeper to be catching up on her homework in her room.
A high school student.
The detective nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Conan then turned his gaze to the man brought in by the butler, and his expression became surprised: "Huh? Mr. Arata?"
The other party also looked over, with a warm smile on his handsome face: "Ah, Conan is here."
This new teacher was the school doctor who had sent the children up the mountain before and had to leave for something. He said that his car suddenly broke down when he was going down the mountain and was seen by the driver who was about to leave. He learned that this person was related to the group of children among the passengers picked up today, so he brought them back to shelter from the rain.
"So that's how it is." Conan suddenly realized.
"So this is Conan's parent, right?" Mr. Shinde turned to the detective with a smile and said sheepishly, "I don't know why I always missed this parent before. I always heard the children talking about him but never met him. I'm really lucky today."
Akae Natsuki's eyes became subtle. He lowered his head and glanced at the brown-haired girl who ran behind him as soon as she came in and was trembling against his legs, leaving Conan beside her. He turned his head and looked at Toru Amuro and Kagemitsu Morobushi who were sitting on the sofa and just smiling without knowing why.
Yes, it's really lucky. There are only six young people in this place, and four of them are code members of the organization.
"Hello." The detective still greeted Dr. Arata calmly. To show courtesy, he took off his mask while speaking. "I am Conan's brother, Furuya Rei."
Almost everyone present who knew the inside story was almost choked to death by the saliva.
But the newly-appointed doctor's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes suddenly turned cold, and his gaze slashed across the face under the mask like a knife.
The housekeeper next to him shuddered: "Strange... Is the air conditioning system broken?"
It's not that the air conditioning system is broken.
Chi Jiang Na Yue thought quietly: It seems that Vermode’s murderous aura can no longer be contained.
