Chapter 120 Past Events in a Foreign Country

[......Am I a chopping board? Is it going to break if I chop it like this? ? Hello? ]

["I want to go home" Under what circumstances did he carve these words? The pain from his fingers being rubbed by the rough wall was completely ignored by the sharp pain in his body caused by the stimulation of drugs. His tortured and drowsy brain only had one thought that kept coming to his mind since he was dragged into the dark alley.

He wrote it on the wall over and over again. Every time he fainted, he would return to his hometown on the other side of the ocean in his dreams. He thought that when he woke up, he would see his mother smiling gently and his father pretending to be serious, a soft bed and the smell of warm food. But what he saw was still the pale ceiling of the prison and the windows nailed shut with wooden boards. ]

[But didn’t they say that they were all adopted from welfare institutions? Is it possible that Tsukiyama Yiyong actually escaped after being transported abroad, and was sent to an welfare institution because he couldn’t speak the language. He thought he had escaped and could go home immediately, but it happened that Hiroshi Hanetani came to select the next experimental subject... He survived

round after round of experiments, and the fire destroyed the villa. He thought he had hope, but he was taken back to Japan by the organization and dragged into a deeper hell. When he finally saw the light of day and became a Confederate, he finally got the right to move freely. He wanted to see his parents from a distance, but his parents had already died six feet under him in a car accident]

[? ? Is there a possibility that I was killed by you? You are too skilled in self-sword, right? ?

The restraints on his limbs were released. Edogawa

Conan moved his wrists slightly, not knowing for a moment whether his stiff limbs were due to being bound for too long, or because of the extreme cold that rose from his spine and deep in his soul.

He sat up from the bed, and his expression made Haibara Ai realize that something was wrong. He asked in a low voice what he had discovered, but got no response.

"......Nothing."

The boy's voice was a little choked, and it was hard to equate it with the nothing he said. He turned around and got out of bed, ignoring the dull pain in his heart, and tried to suppress the picture that emerged in his mind. The voice he made was not like a child's, "......Look for other clues."

The narrow room was quickly turned upside down by the two of them. There were no other traces in the dim room full of gasoline, and no clues could be found in the footprints that were broken by water stains.

Edogawa Conan's mind became more and more confused. He didn't know how long he stayed in the dim secret room. When he went out, he was hurt by the bright light. The little detective blinked and held back the physiological tears in his eyes together with the others. When the two returned to the living room, there was already a quarrel inside.

"I think it was you who did it?"

Yoshiichi Saei, who was pointed at his nose suspiciously, waved his hands in panic and said, "No, after all, he is my brother, I would never kill him..."

"But didn't you two have a fight in the car before?" Kogoro Mori asked suspiciously, "It doesn't look like you have no grudges against each other."

What is going on?

Conan Edogawa looked around, almost everyone was in the living room watching the farce, he walked up to patted Yoshida Ayumi on the shoulder, and whispered, "What happened?"

The worried girl with tears in her eyes turned her head and whispered, "Originally, everyone was discussing what to do next, and suddenly they started arguing when they talked about the murdered Mr. Sai Ryuichi..."

"To be precise, when they talked about the motive of the crime, Yoshiichi's face suddenly changed." Mori Yusachiko played with her curly hair, and after hearing the conversation between the two people, she frowned and sneered, not caring that the guy whose motive was dug out was his own brother, "Everyone knows that Ryuichi caused him to owe a lot of debts, and it is not impossible that he wants to kill him to vent his anger."

"Hey! You are my sister?!" Yoshiichi Saii finally couldn't help but raise his voice and shouted at the woman. His eye sockets were dyed red because of anger, and he gritted his teeth in anger, "No matter how much you hate me, it's too much to accuse your own brother of being the murderer?"

"Defamation? I'm just stating the facts, right?"

Mori Yusachiko said while combing her curly hair, revealing her slender neck. Edogawa Conan saw a very faint mark on the back of her neck, as if it was caused by the exaggerated necklace she was wearing.

Too many things happened in the past two days, like a mess. The boy couldn't grasp any opportunity to unravel them all. He could only try to peel off the threads bit by bit, hiding the heavy fear and worry brought by his brother's disappearance.

"Butler Fangchuan, what's going on?" Maori Kogoro frowned and said in a serious tone, "Tsukiyama is very likely to have found clues about the murderer and was taken away by the guy who killed Sai Ryuichi. Now this person is between the three of you. Any clues can't be missed."

"Yes..." Fangchuan Douji looked at the angry man next to him hesitantly, and said carefully, "Master Yiyi used to have a company, but because of Master Ryuichi... that company eventually went bankrupt, that's about it."

"The debt also came at that time. I heard that Ryuichi still has a lot of leverage over you, right? He even used this to force you to give him money. The debt was about to be paid off, but in the end you still have to provide that guy with a steady stream of money for food, drink and entertainment."

As Mori Yusachiko spoke, Saiji clenched his fists tighter and his voice trembled slightly because of excessive anger. "So what? Don't you hate him too? Oh, by the way, you hate everyone, no matter if it's your own brother or that guy in the legal sense."

"In the legal sense?" Maori Kogoro set his eyes on Boukawa Douji, the only person who could clearly explain the family relationship now, and felt that he was almost dizzy by the overly complicated mission relationship.

"It's like this. A few years ago, Mrs. Sai divorced Mr. Muneyuki Hatani and married Mr. Sai Ryuichi's father. So Mr. Sai Ryuichi became their younger brother in the legal sense."

"That means there is no blood relationship, right?" Maori Kogoro speculated, "And they didn't spend much time together, so the two of them are very suspicious."

"Is blood relationship important? That woman can probably do that to her own brother, right?" Hearing this, Sai Yoshiichi revealed a sarcastic smile, "After all, in her eyes, we are just bastards who diverted their mother's attention... If there's nothing else to ask, I'll go to the yard and move those... children in. It seems like it's going to rain again."

"Uh... OK, go ahead."

Kogoro Mori, who was knocked away by the angry man's shoulder and was speechless because of the messy relationship between the few people, muttered in response, and turned his eyes back to Boukawa Douji, "Is the relationship between Mrs. Mori and Mr. Yoshiichi so bad? They are obviously real siblings..."

"It's like this... It seems that after Master Yoshiichi Sai was born, he took away too much of Mrs. Sai's attention. Miss Mori often locked him in the room or drove him out of the villa to prevent him from getting close to Mrs. Sai. Over time, the relationship between the two people became worse and worse."

"What a wicked woman." Upon hearing this, Maori Kogoro muttered softly, and then straightened his back awkwardly under the sight of Mori Yu Sachiko, "Haha... um, um, what were you doing last night?"

Kojima Genta and the other two watched the farce and whispered together, "This is the first time I've seen such a wicked family relationship..."

"Is the murderer the bad guy who took away Brother Asari? It's so hateful!" Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko said angrily, "We must find him out!"

"That's right, our Junior Detective Team will definitely find the murderer and rescue Brother Asari!"

[Uh... um, is it really okay if we don't go look around right now, in case we miss the best rescue time?]

[After all, it is still a detective comic. I feel that in the previous plots, such situations were all about missing persons who rescued themselves after deducing the murderer. Maybe the murderer cried, knelt, and confessed, and then Asari suddenly appeared from the sky! Then the little boy hugged him with tears in his eyes, or the murderer confessed and told Conan where he locked the person up, and Conan rushed to rescue him]

[But this article is related to the main plot, so I am still worried - and Conan and Asari look alike. If he is found by the organization, won’t they attack him? ! ]

[Don't worry, it's still the analysis above. Asari's death must be a big deal. At least half of the Cohen Chianti and the new Bourbon Cointreau must be there, and add some eggs... He won't die here directly! ]

Conan Edogawa's eyes fell on Mori Yusachiko, who had been frowning from the beginning. She originally had a fake smile, but she couldn't keep it up after Yoshiichi Sai said the last sentence. Under the cover of her long hair, her lips finally turned down coldly, unwilling to look at her own brother who had left.

"Please everyone take out the luggage for inspection." Maori Kogoro was still trying to maintain the necessary procedures when guessing the murderer, trying to find clues from it.

"What is this...?"

There was nothing wrong with the backpacks of several people, but a bottle of medicine was found in Saiji's backpack. Because Saiji's death was related to taking the wrong medicine, the expression of this famous detective suddenly became serious, "Does Mr. Yoshiichi usually carry this bottle of medicine?"

"Yes, Master Yoshiichi suffers from severe asthma and will carry this medicine with him. I remember that when the master was a child, he went out to play again and forgot the medicine bottle at the entrance... Almost got into trouble."

Maori Kogoro opened the medicine bottle and saw the white medicine pellets piled up inside. The shape was different from the shape seen in the deceased's hand before, "Are the pills in it really medicine for treating asthma?"

"This... the medicine inside is indeed the same as the one before, but I have no knowledge of medicine, so I can't confirm that this is it."

"Is that so..."

Listening to the speeches of several people, Conan Edogawa fell into deep thought, and his suspicion of the suspect in his heart increased a lot, but there are still many doubts that have not been solved.

The murder plan and evidence are not yet sufficient.

"I didn't expect it to be like this... I wanted to bring the children here to relax, but they encountered this kind of thing." Dr. Agasa sighed and struggled to move the package he brought over.

By the way, why was Dr. Agasa invited?

Conan Edogawa immediately told his doubts to Dr. Whitebeard, and the latter took his backpack in his hand before explaining.

"That person wrote to me and said that he was very interested in my latest invention and wanted to borrow it for something important. However, I only made one of this thing and was afraid that something might go wrong during transportation, so he simply wrote to ask if he could bring his children to visit. The person who wrote in the name of Muneyuki Hanedani agreed... Hey, was my zipper in this position before?"

"What kind of invention is it?"

"This is it, the time-space camera I invented!" Dr. Agasa opened his backpack and took out the thing that looked no different from an ordinary camera. "The intelligent system analyzes the skeleton contours of the human face and restores the appearance of adults and children, and vice versa."

"Hey?! If Ayumi and the others take this thing you made to play with, wouldn't Haibara and I be exposed?" Conan Edogawa was shocked by his overly bold behavior and almost couldn't hold back his voice.

"Don't worry, I'll put your two data in after I'm done. As long as it's a photo of you two, it will show a program error and there will be no results." Saying this, Dr. Agasa aimed the lens at the anxious boy and pressed the shutter button. The camera quickly issued a warning, and a red exclamation mark appeared on the front display screen, "Look, it's like this."

"Doctor, you're really stupid. Although there is such a program, but..."

"I was inspired by your previous kidnapping case. After listening to you, I also went to learn about it, and then I thought, even if so many children were rescued later, it would be difficult for them to find their relatives based on their childhood photos because they have grown up. It should be much more convenient with this device." After

explaining this, Dr. Agasa added, "When I was doing this, I also asked Asari, and he helped contact the police in the Metropolitan Police Department. After this is completely completed, it can be provided to the department that specializes in such cases, and it will not be given to people other than the police to avoid abuse."

"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Agasa..." Conan Edogawa's expression eased a lot. He took the camera and thought of the children he had rescued from the kidnapping gang before. He felt like he was holding a small hope, a fire, "I hope it can come in handy."

"Ah, I also hope that this invention can do something for them... I didn't intend to give this invention to others, but the letter said that he wanted to find a child who had been missing for many years, which was also the original intention of making this camera, so I made an exception and came here. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. This reason is probably made up by the murderer."

Listening to Dr. Agasa's sigh, the detective frowned. He suddenly remembered the muttering of the white-haired old man before, "You said that the zipper of the package was not like this before?"

"Yes, I remember that I deliberately pulled the zipper at the top before, so that it would be more convenient to take things, but this one just now seems to be crooked... I guess the children came to get water to drink."

No, it is more likely that the person who wrote the letter came to take this camera.

Is it to confirm the blood relationship between Tsukiyama Asari and the boy in the painting?

He now needs a key piece of evidence to solve the first mystery of Ryuichi Sai's death.

Without further ado, the boy quickly followed Mori Yusachiko's footsteps as she was about to leave, and chased her back to the lounge. Behind Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara walked a few steps to Dr. Agasa, "Doctor."

"It's Ai... Why do you seem unhappy today? Did something happen?"

Being stared at by the old man with a caring look, Huibara bit her lower lip, suppressing the bitterness in her heart and the moisture in her eyes, and took the camera with a cold face, "I want to borrow this."

"Oh... okay, if there is anything, you must tell me."

"...Okay."

The brown-haired girl took the heavy camera and walked back to the study where the two had been before.

"Mrs. Moriyu!"

The little boy followed Moriyu Sachiko into the room with a glass of water in his hand, and shouted in a clear childish voice, "Excuse me, can I borrow your earrings?"

The woman frowned impatiently, and refused the request without thinking, grabbing the other party's collar and trying to get her out of the door, "Little boy, don't run around and cause trouble!"

"But!" Edogawa Conan raised the cup of water and said pitifully, "But I'm really thirsty, and I have finished the bottled water I brought. I can only use the cup to get water from the villa, but I'm afraid it's as poisonous as the previous cup... I saw Brother Asari put the earrings in to detect whether it is poisonous, and I want to try it too!"

"Go ask someone else, don't bother me."

"Please, Mrs. Moriyu..." The little boy spoke in a hurry, and his words were slightly aggrieved because of the woman's attitude. "Sister Moriyu! Lend it to me."

The boy's crisp voice with a slight grievance made Moriyu Sachiko's face darken.

Feeling that the man was no longer trying to drag him out, Edogawa Conan held the cup of water and waited for the other party's next move.

The woman with heavy makeup squatted down. I don't know what she was thinking about, but her usually cold face actually had a rare soft color. There was helplessness in her voice, "Because you want help, can you call a forty-year-old girl with wrinkles on her face 'sister'?"

"But my mother said that any woman older than her should be called sister. She said that calling her sister makes people happy." Edogawa Conan responded and raised the water glass a little higher, "Sister Moriyou, can you lend me your earrings?"

"Even if you call me sister, I won't be happy." Although saying this, Moriyou Sachiko still took off the earrings from her ears and handed them to the boy in front of her.

"Thank you, sister!"

Conan Edogawa said in surprise after taking the earring. He put down the cup, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the silver earring carefully, but his eyes fell on the necklace on the other's chest. When he finally returned, he pretended to fall forward accidentally, and his wrist hit the pendant hanging from the woman's neck. There was

a slight shaking sound.

Before the woman noticed, the boy quickly withdrew his hand, and as a reward, he personally put the earring that had been lightly touched in the water back on the man's ear.

Mori Yusachiko gently stroked the earlobe and smiled at the boy.

After leaving the room, Conan Edogawa regained his unchildlike thoughtful expression. He only needed one last clue to complete the puzzle.

He ran quickly to the third floor.

After finally finding the last piece, Conan Edogawa's originally chaotic thoughts finally settled down. He exhaled, but he didn't feel much relieved.

The next step was the old routine.

The boy unconsciously glanced at the watch-shaped anesthetic device on his wrist. He was about to walk towards the living room, but when he passed the study, he caught a familiar figure from the hidden door gap.

It was Ai Haibara.

The brown-haired girl faced the bookshelf, and no one knew what she was doing. Conan Edogawa pushed open the hidden door and walked in a few steps. He was about to blurt out her name, but he noticed something wrong when he walked in.

Haibara Ai was shaking. She was holding the camera that she had just seen at Professor Agasa's place in her hands. Her whole body was trembling, and tears were streaming down her cheeks, hitting her clothes one by one.

The girl who was always introverted couldn't even suppress the crying sound in her throat.

Conan Edogawa couldn't react for a while, and first noticed the scattered newspapers on the ground. They were all written in Japanese, with many folding marks on them, and they were very old.

He turned the newspaper over, and there was a missing person notice on the back.

A familiar picture, a boy holding a puppy tilted his head and smiled at the camera. His face was exactly the same as the one in the frame, but there was no sense of mystery or horror. The smile in his eyes could even infect people outside the paper.

"You...took this photo?" Edogawa Conan put down the package and spoke carefully. He had vaguely guessed something from Haibara Ai's strange behavior before, but he was not sure.

"...It's him, it's him."

Haibara Ai could no longer bear the sound after squeezing out this sentence from her throat. She leaned her forehead against the cold surface of the camera and burst into tears.

With this action, Edogawa Conan saw the photo that the girl had been holding in her hand.

Because the photo was taken based on the boy's appearance in the newspaper, the puppy in the boy's arms was miraculously changed by the camera into its adult appearance.

The man, who had grown tall, was still wearing overalls and a shirt that looked a bit too old for an adult. He tilted his cold grey eyes without any haze and smiled at the camera recklessly. It

was a very unfamiliar look.

But if the man in the photo didn't smile like that and wiped out all the light in his eyes, he would be more familiar.

If he was a little thinner than in the photo, his hair was longer, and he changed his well-behaved hairstyle inherited from the old photo, and put on the glasses that covered the arc of his eyes, he would overlap with the man holding the sharp knife on the ship.

Conan Edogawa closed his eyes, and for a moment he was a little unsteady.

He is Cointreau.

The author has something to say:

Thank you for reading I made an appointment

with Taotao to get up early while writing

Taotao: Get up early to write and organize my thoughts

Me: Get up early to go to class

Taotao/Me:... Alas

Although I'm very busy with my studies recently, I'm working hard to update~

I want to finish the foreign past events chapter as soon as possible so that everyone can go travel and relax (If the number of words is more, I can finish the content in advance so that everyone can be less stabbed!)

Well... and if it's 3k, it will be easier in the final season, but sometimes I can't ensure that the content of the chapter is complete, and it will be very uncomfortable to stop. I feel very sorry for everyone who waits for updates every day. I will work hard to update so that each chapter is full of content ww

The combination of knife and sugar is a good civilization! We can't let everyone become a chopping block (touch the edge of the knife with pity)

Finally, we decided to go to the hot springs for the trip.

Moguang: I understand the reason, but is it really appropriate to take me to the hot springs?

A Miao: ... At least you can go.

Thanks to the little angel who cast the shallow water bomb: 雛森Momo 1;
