Chapter 227 Winter is Coming · Finale

The bloody smell lingers in the completely closed prison all year round.

Gin walked through the long and narrow corridor. Soon someone respectfully opened the lock on the door. Entering from this door, he saw a small room that was not very big. There was nothing inside, except for a small ventilation duct on the lower right side, which dutifully transported the outside air to every room in the underground base.

After the door behind was closed, he used his fingerprints to open the door of the last room. The bloody smell quickly spread from inside, making people frown when they smelled it.

The bleak light illuminated the prison that could not let in any light. The bloodstains on the ground that could not be wiped off were like a ghost face with an angry mouth, and a blood-stained torture. Tools or other things were scattered at the very side. Vodka had arrived ahead of schedule after receiving the order, and was now doing his job conscientiously to burn a branding iron whose surface had already turned slightly red.

There was nothing else in the empty room, only the chair in the middle.

Yu Gu Miao was sitting on the chair.

He crossed his legs, with one elbow resting on the armrest of the chair, resting his head on his back for a nap. His naked body was wrapped in a black windbreaker, and the belt of the windbreaker was tied in a small knot on the side. He was sitting in the interrogation room, but he looked like he had just taken a shower and was sitting on the sofa at home in a bathrobe. What

was completely inconsistent with this leisurely posture was probably the wounds all over his body. Except for the face, all the exposed skin was covered with various purple and bloody marks.

After hearing the sound from the door, the black-haired man slowly opened his eyes and looked at Gin. There was a dark spot under his eyes. It seemed that he had not slept well recently due to the torture.

"Brother." Vodka called softly beside him, "Or do you come in person?"

Gin hummed from his nose as a response.

He lifted the black hair by the other's ears, revealing the neck that was covered below. In addition to the pinch marks, there were also several pinholes on it, making the skin in that area turn blue and purple.

"What a familiar scene." Gin said, pinching his chin to force the other to raise his head, and then checking the wound on the other's neck and the expression on his face from top to bottom.

"Yes." Knowing that the other party was referring to the correction long ago, Yu Gu Miao opened his eyes and fluttered his eyelashes twice.

He still has scars from that time on his chest.

"Whether it was then or now, you have always been a loyal dog... cough cough..."

Before he could finish his words, the long-haired man grabbed his neck and strangled his remaining words in his throat. When the other party was unable to speak due to suffocation, the hot torture instrument fell on him.

When Gin let him go, the black-haired man, who was trembling all over, didn't make a single roar. He lowered his head and suddenly laughed. The low laughter gradually turned into a reckless laugh. He didn't care that the iron was still very close to him after it moved off his skin. He stretched out his hand and forcefully pulled open the man's windbreaker in front of him, revealing the wound inside, which was still emitting a bloody smell even though it was wrapped in gauze and blocked by the lining.

"Have you been made into such a savage by those rats you look down on?" Yu Gu Miao snorted and laughed, casually pressing on the other's wound, and then, with the low chuckle of Vodka, he took out a box of cigarettes from the pocket of the other's black windbreaker that he hadn't seen for years.

He opened the cigarette box with one hand, lowered his head and put one of the cigarettes that was pushed out in his mouth, then tilted his head slightly and lit the cigarette on the iron that was used as a torture instrument beside him.

"How many bases and laboratories have you lost...? How many secrets did that Rum guy reveal to the police? Hmm?" Even with the cigarette in his mouth, he curled his lips and snorted at the other party. The man raised his hand covered with blood and scars, pinched the pipe with his slender fingers, and took it out of his mouth. Then he moved closer and spit the smoke on Gin's face, who was leaning over, holding the armrests of the chair with both hands and looking at him sullenly.

"How many secrets did he reveal that you can only hide in this rat hole with that gentleman......?"

He was answered by a loud noise.

Gin pinched his face and neck and threw him back on the back of the chair. However, Gin ignored the hands pressing on his neck and face, still laughing and raising his hands, pressing the cigarette butt on the man's neck in the same position as himself.

"Gin... Gin." Yu Gu Miao snorted and laughed, and the cigarette was thrown to the ground casually. The scarlet cigarette tip flickered twice and then half extinguished. "How long can you live?"

Yu Gu Miao untied the belt of the black windbreaker with his hands. The coat, which was stained with the lingering smell of smoke and blood, slid off his shoulders and fell on the chair. The man's cold white skin was coated with a layer of metallic color by the indoor light without any temperature.

Under the wounds all over his body, a few imperceptible blue lines slowly spread from the heart along the bones and blood vessels. He curled his lips, looked up at the man in front of him with long silver hair, and smiled, "What about you? Without a sedative, how long can you live?"

Gin just injected the sedative into his neck without saying a word.

.

Tsukiyama Chaoli suddenly sat up from the bed.

He panted softly and put his hand to cover his calf which seemed to be cramping. In the previous few seconds, he thought his calf was about to break, but when the man who had just woken up from his sleep reached out to touch it, he only touched a smooth piece of skin.

He rubbed his eyes and it took him several seconds to react. He was not in that miserable base, but in the temporary "shelter" provided by the Public Security Headquarters for him - Kudo's house.

[Three hours, eighteen minutes and twenty-one seconds, your sleep quality these days is really worrying.]

The voice of the system rang in my ears at a very timely moment.

Without any response, the black-haired man just grabbed the shoulder of his pajamas and fell on the bed, panting. When his panting gradually subsided, his whole body suddenly trembled, and his right hand couldn't help grabbing his forearm.

[Hey, hey... Atari? ]

The system's usual mocking flat voice disappeared immediately, and the stickman walked around the screen several times and shouted.

[Atari? ! ]

The man who was called by his name pulled out a hoarse roar from his throat. He grabbed his forearm tightly, and his whole hand couldn't stop shaking. The skin that originally had no scars was covered with red marks under the huge grip. Under the anxious shouting of the system, he finally turned his hand to the other side and grabbed the bed sheet.

[You are not in the interrogation room, you...]

'I know... I know. 'In the system's voice, Yueshan Chaoli reached out to cover his face, put his eyes on the skin of his palms, took a deep breath, and repeated, 'I know. '

'Give me some time. '

After the constant noise from the other side finally disappeared, the mechanical sound rang again after a long time.

[......Do you want painkillers? Or sleeping pills.]

'No.'

The black-haired man finally took a breath, and he covered his eyes with the back of his hand, his body gradually calmed down after trembling, 'I want to relax for a while.'

[......]

[Be careful, you have invested too much in the vest here, and this situation would not have happened in the previous worlds.]

'......Yeah.'

He curled the corners of his mouth, pulled out a somewhat forced smile, and combed up his sweat-soaked forehead.

The sticky sweat on his body made him feel uncomfortable. The man simply got up and went to the bathroom in the bedroom to take a quick shower. When he walked downstairs in his slippers, the door to the basement was suddenly opened. The brown-haired girl who came out looked at him and said nothing, but continued to walk to her destination.

Huihara Ai walked to the kitchen and turned on the hot water kettle. It immediately filled with mist. Before she could pour the hot water into the coffee cup filled with instant coffee powder, a bony hand reached out from the side and took the coffee cup away.

The girl frowned and looked up, only to see a pair of drooping eyes that looked like Yu Gu Miao.

Tsukiyama Asari put the coffee cup on the shelf, and then took out a small glass pot from the cabinet, poured the prepared tea next to it into it, and put it back to the place where the coffee cup was just now after brewing.

This was the first time he was alone with Haibara Ai after returning from the manor on the island.

The black-haired man thought, poured a cup of refreshing tea from the teapot, pushed it in front of the girl, and looked at the dark circles under her eyes that were the same as his own, and he suddenly blurted out "I'm sorry".

The moment he said it, he couldn't figure out whether he was apologizing as Yutani Mia to the girl who watched him grow up, for leaving without any goodbye and never seeing each other again, or as Tsukiyama Asari, for not being able to stop the other party from leaving resolutely.

"No need."

A few seconds later, the girl spoke. She reached out and held the cup of warm tea in her hand, trying to provide herself with a little warmth. It seemed that the cup of tea reminded her of the villa in Boston that could be called home. There were rows of scented teas of different flavors on the cabinet. Huiyuan Ai, who wanted to stop talking about this topic, was silent and spoke again.

"...I blamed you very much before...even hated you. As the person who could hold him back the most, you didn't even say a word to keep him." She closed her eyes, her voice trembling a little, "But if this is his own choice...then I should hate him."

"I will never hate him."

She took a deep breath, and because she took it too fast and too quickly, the panting sounded a bit like a sob. Following Yu Gu Miao's habit over the years, Yue Shan Chao Li subconsciously wanted to reach out to wipe the corner of the other's eyes, but the girl who noticed his action turned her head away and easily dodged.

"No, I'm fine." She whispered, because she lowered her head, the expression on her face could not be seen clearly under the cover of her short hair, "I just feel... like I owe him a lot of things to say."

Regarding gratitude and other things, she began to fantasize a long time ago, maybe one day she could blurt out the emotions she had for so many years, and replace the cold name "Cointreau" with his name, maybe... if she had the nerve to say it, she would add the two words "brother" at the end, but soon, this thought also dissipated.

"Some words can be heard without being said." Tsukiyama Asari's expression softened. He bent down slightly and looked at the girl. "I think he has heard it a long time ago."

The girl did not respond. He sat down on the chair opposite and whispered, "You have a sister too, right?"

"People have always said that people with blood ties can have a sense of connection. I just feel it. I'm not kidding you." He casually touched the other's soft head. "You have a sister too, so you should understand this feeling."

Huibara Ai finally relaxed her expression. She subconsciously reached out and firmly grasped the necklace rope hanging around her neck. At the bottom was a rusty key, which was the one that Yutani Mia had given to Tsukiyama Asari before.

"......I believe you."

She whispered, and the cold key in her hand became hot at this moment. Tears slid down the corners of the girl's eyes, but a small smile appeared on her face, "I believe you." "

Go and have a rest."

Facing the black-haired man's suggestion, the girl, who was already very dark-eyed, just shook her head. She took a sip of hot tea, "I still have work to do."

All the data they found from the organization now is enough for Haibara Ai to research the antidote. Since she moved the laboratory from Dr. Agasa to the Kudo residence as a temporary base, she has been busy in it day and night.

"You haven't..." Seeing the determined expression on the other's face, Tsukiyama sighed inwardly, and before he could finish his words, there was a noise outside.

The door was pushed open from the outside and quickly closed. The chestnut-haired man who came in rushed to the sofa in the living room with one step and collapsed on the sofa like a doll with its soul taken away. "I'm so tired--!!"

"If you wanted to come here, don't complain--" Among the people who came from behind, Amuro Toru, who was in the front, said helplessly with a long voice, "I don't think this mission is more tiring than the ones you took on in the General Affairs Office before."

"Hmph, you don't even let me complain about being tired. I should have seen through you, a public security officer, as a workaholic. Working under you will only make me a social slave."

The bickering between the few people, who were not much more mature than elementary school students, made the two people next to the kitchen burst into laughter. Huihara Ai rubbed her face and looked helplessly at the policemen who "revealed their true colors" as soon as they returned to the safe house. Tsukiyama Asari stood up and asked if they wanted to have a midnight snack.

Anyway, he couldn't sleep now.

After confirming that he really had the energy to cook so late, a group of policemen who had tasted his cooking skills quickly jumped up, first rushed into the bathroom to wash off the blood, dust and sweat stained during the mission, changed into pajamas, and obediently went to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks, and then slumped on the sofa facing this side, looking eagerly.

Staring at Hagiwara Kenji's dog-like drooping eyes, Tsukiyama helplessly bent his eyes inward, already seeing the other's tail wagging behind him. He patted his forehead and took back this somewhat rude thought. Haibara Ai beside him yawned a little, resisted the sleepiness and got off the chair, "I'm going back to the laboratory."

As she said this, she turned her head and saw Kasugawa Shugo, who was so tired that he slid from the sofa to the carpet and was too lazy to get up, appeared behind him without knowing when. The chestnut-haired man blinked his round eyes and smiled, "Good evening, young lady. Are you going to bed?"

"No, I'm going to work." She wasn't too familiar with him, and didn't know why she was suddenly asked this question. Huihara Ai took a step back subconsciously.

She had to admit that his appearance was too deceptive. Even though she was so close now, looking at his round eyes that looked like the stuffed bear that Cointreau had placed on her bedside before, she subconsciously answered his question without even getting angry at his sudden behavior.

"Well... before we start working, could you please ask the young lady to make me that super delicious sandwich that she made that day again?" Kasugawa Shugo winked at the other party and put his hands together and made a 'please, please' gesture, "Please - it's really super delicious. I couldn't stop thinking about it when I was on the mission today."

"I testify--" Date Kou's lazy voice came from behind, "This guy was almost hit by a stray bullet, and he was still saying that he wanted to go back and eat a sandwich."

"Huh?!"

Because of Matsuda Jinpei's angry voice and Tsukiyama Asari's glare, the chestnut curly-haired police officer shrank his neck and showed a pitiful expression to the short-haired girl in front of him.

"......Is there any bread in the kitchen now?" Haibara Ai turned her head away and asked awkwardly, "You can make such a simple thing yourself, right?"

"There is bread." Tsukiyama Asari's voice came from above, "But it's a bit hard. If you want to eat it, I'm afraid you have to steam it. It will take a while."

"It's too troublesome." The girl folded her arms and refused.

"It only takes less than five minutes to steam - please, please, I won't be able to sleep if I don't have this today." Kasugawa Shugo said coquettishly to the girl in front of him who was not even as tall as his thigh. Then he quickly moved a soft bench from the side, and also brought a pillow, blanket and plush toys that appeared in Kudo's house for no reason. "Look! I have brought all the tools, just help me." There

is really nothing you can do about this police officer...

Haibara Ai rubbed her forehead and finally nodded in agreement. It was no big deal to delay for six or seven minutes. Thinking of this, she lay down on the soft bench after seeing the other party's expectant eyes.

After achieving his goal, Kasugawa Shugo left quickly, leaving the room with only the scent of home fragrance, the sound of the knife gently hitting the chopping board, and the faint sound of steam coming out of the small holes.

After a while, when Kasugawa Shugo tiptoed over to see, the girl had already fallen asleep in a blanket, hugging her stuffed toy, exhausted from almost a week of heavy work.

The chestnut-haired man smiled and winked at the person in the kitchen, reached out and clapped his hands silently, then carefully picked up the girl who was already completely asleep on the bench, and walked towards her bedroom.

By the time Haibara Ai was settled down, the door of the villa had been opened again, and Morobushi Kagemitsu followed Edogawa Conan in from outside. He yawned loudly, and without even taking off his coat, he went over and threw himself on the sofa.

"It seems that paperwork is not easy to do." Considering the sleeping people, Date Kou lowered his voice and whispered even in the well-soundproofed living room.

"We invited Mr. Kudo Yusaku as an external aid, and the mission went smoothly." Morobushi Kagemitsu spoke irrelevantly, looking exhausted. Amuro Toru laughed beside him and said, "How is it, have you made up for all the workload since your fake death in the past few days?"

"......I have to pay it back." Recalling his previous life when, apart from the occasional mission, he could leisurely prepare lunch boxes and go to the hospital to catch Kasugawa Shugo, the man opened his blue cat eyes and sighed softly, but his eyes were shining, and he seemed to be very happy to work overtime, "Maybe in a few days, I can get a long vacation."

Edogawa Conan did not participate in the conversation. He ran over in a few steps. He couldn't even open his eyes and had to tiptoe to climb onto the chair next to the kitchen. He said, "I smell beef tendon soup."

These words, which were still full of sleepiness, made the black-haired man laugh. He reached out and poked the boy's head and poured the hot soup down.

It was a simple meal, and it was all done in less than 20 minutes. A bunch of policemen who had just returned from the headquarters or the mission site were still sleepy while eating. Kasugawa Shugo simply lay on the table, closed his eyes and stuffed the sandwich made by Tsukiyama Asari into his mouth. Before he could swallow it, Amuro Toru's phone rang suddenly, and the people at the table who were originally sleepy immediately looked serious.

"Go to the meeting room in 40 minutes." Amuro Toru put down the phone, rubbed his temples and said, they set up a meeting room in Kudo's house, and many online meetings that could not gather everyone together would be held there.

Hearing this, everyone ate faster. In less than ten minutes, the food on the table was swept away. Someone helped to collect the dishes and left first to go to the conference room to turn on the communication device. Morofu Jingguang quietly held his head up and waited for everyone to leave before standing up and coming to Yueshan Chaori.

"Here, I had nothing to do yesterday, so I developed the photos."

He said, and took out a small cloth bag from his chest pocket. It seemed that it was originally used to hold some peace and blessings. The fabric was made of a harder material and was a wider rectangle, which was surprisingly suitable for photos.

In order to keep secrets, they often couldn't show the photos they took to others. It was impossible to go to a printing shop to find someone to help them develop them, so Morobushi Kagemitsu set up a room in his house specifically for developing photos. Yesterday, the time at noon was not too close, so he gave up the idea of ​​taking a nap and went in to develop the photos he took on the ship a few days ago.

This was Tsukiyama Asari's request at the time. He said he wanted to leave some photos on the ship.

...Use the face of Yutani Mie.

Morobushi Kagemitsu, who rushed to support in a police helicopter, heard this and said nothing. He just raised his mobile phone and took a lot of photos seriously.

It was a thick little bag. When he handed it to the other party, he noticed that Tsukiyama Asari's face was pale and he grabbed his left forearm with his right hand. His expression was a little painful, but there was no wound on the skin under his palm.

The black-haired man quickly put down his hand and even the expression on his face, as if it was just an illusion.

Tsukiyama Asari took the bag and pulled out the small stack of photos from it. After carefully looking at each one, he handed the stack of photos back to the other party, "...Leave some." Morofushi

Kagemitsu did not refuse.

He took the stack of photos very lightly, as if he had already memorized the location of each photo. He quickly pulled out two photos. It was not until he held the two photos in his hands that he seemed to suddenly realize something and whispered, "...Okay?"

Tsukiyama looked at him inwardly and nodded seriously.

Morofushi Jingguang looked down at the two photos in his hand. One was taken when the man on the deck had not yet turned his head completely. His eyes, which were only casually covered by the contact lenses, were illuminated by the sunlight to be the same cold gray color as Yu Gu Mia. He was not facing the camera, so there was no expression on his face. His hair was blown up by the sea breeze, blocking most of his facial features, but his exposed eyes flashed a sharp light.

In the other photo, even though his face was exactly the same as Yu Gu Mia, they didn't look very similar. The man in the photo showed a brilliant smile towards the camera, with no trace of haze in his light eyes. Behind him was the sea surface illuminated by the sun, and his casual outfit made him look like he was just on an ordinary trip.

If he had not left home because of kidnapping, Yu Gu Miao would probably have left many such photos, waving at the camera recklessly, with the scenery behind him not stained with any blood.

No...if it hadn't been for that incident, he wouldn't even have the name Yu Gu Miao.

While the public security officer lowered his eyes in thought, Tsukiyama coughed lightly and said, "Morobushi...Officer. What have you thought about what I said before?"

Morobushi Kagemitsu was stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth and subconsciously said "sorry". After he finished speaking, he realized what he was doing. He raised his head and saw the black-haired man who narrowed his eyes and raised one eyebrow after hearing the answer and looked at him.

"I just can't figure it out." Seeing the other party's expression, Tsukiyama Asari always had a feeling that he was making things difficult for an honest person. "You can't find the location of the core base. This is the best way under the current circumstances. Why don't you agree?"

"Because it's very dangerous."

Morofushi Jingguang bit his lower lip and frowned. "You know that the plan you mentioned before can't be guaranteed at all..."

"I can't guarantee my own safety at all, I know." This was the first time the black-haired man interrupted someone like this. He frowned, and the eyebrow that had just been raised dropped. "I don't care about this, and I'm an adult... I've been an adult for almost ten years. I can be responsible for my own choices and actions. If you higher-ups are worried about this, I can sign an agreement with you."

"No matter what happens in the middle, I'm willing to bear it."

"This is not a question of willingness or not." Officer Zhu looked at the other party with his blue cat eyes. He pinched the tip of his nose with his hand with a headache, as if he didn't know what to say. After a while, he whispered, "It's just... we can't let you take this risk. This should obviously be our responsibility."

"Your responsibility..." Tsukiyama Asari repeated this sentence in a low voice, "Putting all the responsibility on yourself is sometimes the most useless behavior. If you are unwilling to let one person... let me take this risk, it will put more people in danger."

He closed his eyes, his tone was cold and hard, "In front of the organization, whether it is you police officers, or me... or others, there is no difference... You are not the only ones who have responsibility."

"I have my own things to do, and... this is what I want to do most now."

A family that has been torn apart by an organization for decades, a white-haired boy who disappeared in the fire, a brother who resolutely left... All the emotions gathered in the man's eyes, which were always gentle, and turned into a blade-like light and a fierce flame.

Morofu Jingguang looked into his eyes for a long time, and then the man pressed his forehead and whispered, "... Come with me to the conference room." After

more than an hour, they had communicated with each other about the recent situation, and the conference room fell into silence again.

All the intersections converged on the question of "Where is the core base where the organization's boss is located?" Countless plans were proposed and rejected. At a dead end, Tsukiyama Asari, who had listened to the whole thing quietly, came in with Morobushi Kagemitsu. He stood up and walked to the front of the conference room under the complicated gazes of others.

"Since we haven't come up with any feasible solutions." He stretched out his hand, bent his fingers and knocked on the table in front of him with a stern face, "Then listen to my plan."

Before the black-haired man stretched out his hand, Amuro Toru lowered his eyes, and after speaking, he handed him something he had been carrying.

Tsukiyama Asari opened the box in front of the camera that connected all the people attending the meeting. Inside was a gem that was shining under the light.

"This is the locator I took off...Yu Gu Miao." The black-haired man closed his eyes when he said the name. When he opened his eyes again, he seemed a little more determined than before. "The surface is specially coated. The detection equipment can't detect any signal."

In order to verify this statement, he took the sophisticated signal detector at hand and slowly scanned the surface. The signal light on it was always green without flashing.

"After the locator inside is replaced, the location information can be transmitted to your communication equipment. The special coating added on the outside allows it to stick to the stomach wall after being swallowed into the body, preventing it from being corroded by stomach acid." Yueshan took a deep breath and squinted at the small gem removed from the brooch in his hand. "The member you captured before also said that they did not kill him, but moved him to the core base... and because of Yu Gu Miao, they are now looking for me."

"If they catch me, they will definitely take me to the only remaining base." He looked up, made eye contact with all the familiar police officers in the conference room, and then met the eyes of the unfamiliar police officers on the screen, "...along with this locator." After

a long silence, on the other side of the screen, Inspector Nagasawa, one of the senior executives involved in this plan, was putting down the pen in his hand.

He looked at the black-haired man on the other side of the screen. Inexplicably, he saw in him the figure of another man whom he regarded as his child and junior. "You should also know... it is difficult for us to let innocent people take such risks."

The senior executive who was about to retire took off his glasses, raised his head and met those eyes. His voice interfered with the long discussion. "As our net-closing operation unfolds, they have changed from self-protection to... what can be called crazy revenge."

"After being caught by them, it may not be... just as simple as losing your life." Knowing that the remnants of the organization are now frantically trying to drag more people to their deaths, the worry in Officer Nagasawa's eyes became even greater. "Their methods..."

"I know." Tsukiyama Asari didn't even blink, "Do you want to hear my reasons?"

"First, you don't have time. This is the only feasible plan at the moment." He tapped his fingers on the table. The sound reminded the serious-looking Edogawa Conan of the action his teacher often did. "The longer you delay, the more casualties and accidents there will be. You should understand this better than me."

"Secondly, only I can complete this plan. Because of Yu Gu Miao's backlash, they lost Rum, the most important member. Their hatred for him will definitely not let me go, nor will they let me die easily. And... you don't want me to take this risk, and they won't believe that the police will use me as bait. If you go, they won't bring them back to the base without limits."

"And..." Yueshan Chaoli lowered his eyes, suddenly turned his head and asked, "Can this locator be guaranteed to be problem-free now?"

"...No, no problem." After being tapped by the person next to him, the technician from another department on the screen suddenly reacted. He sat up straight subconsciously, "Officer Furuya asked me to help... Anyway, after the modification, its positioning can now be connected to each public security device. The modified battery can ensure that it can transmit signals within two months."

"Very good."

Amuro Toru's hand on the table suddenly paused, his pupils shrank, and before he could stand up from his seat, he saw that after hearing this sentence, Tsukiyama nodded inward, raised his head directly, and put the small gem into his mouth.

There was no time to stop it. The smooth gem reflected several dazzling rays of light under the light, and the patterns decorated with other fine diamonds on it were completely reflected under the light, which was a cross with a cold glow. The black-haired man's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he frowned and swallowed it directly.

"One last thing." Under the silent gaze of everyone, Yueshan Asari laughed for the first time since entering the conference room. He coughed twice to relieve the discomfort in his throat, and smiled, "Now the arrow is on the string, and it has to be shot."

"This is called.....kill first and play later." He paused, and before anyone else could speak, he pointed to Kasugawa Shugo, who was standing next to him with a confused look on his face, "I learned it from him. It seems to be very useful."

The chestnut-haired police officer, who was very good at using the 'kill first and play later' trick, shrank his neck as all the eyes turned to him. He rubbed his nose with his fingers, and in the sight of Takeda Daiji on the other side of the screen, he spoke for a long time before whispering, "You can't blame me for this..."

Thinking of his previous actions, Matsuda Jinpei picked up a notebook with a dark face and hit the guy next to him on the back of his head.

The author has something to say:

Thank you for reading
