Morofushi Jingguang had never seen anyone who spoke in such a strange way.
Obviously every word is gentle, considerate and caring, yet there is an inexplicable sense of heartache.
for example--
"Mr. Edogawa, do you need a shower? It's a bit hot today. Standing outside with such a heavy load on your back will probably give you a cold. There's a public bathhouse on the corner and an internet cafe next to it. If you don't have enough money, I can help you get some pads."
Zhu Fu Jingguang felt a headache when he saw the young man in front of him with an endless smile.
Internet cafes in Japan allow overnight stays, and the overnight fee is very cheap, so many rebellious young people and unemployed people use them as makeshift hotels, which has led to the development of a series of bathhouses, catering and take-out businesses in the surrounding areas.
The implication is "I won't let you live here even if you pay me", but it's not a mockery of him being homeless - right?
But then again, who would accept a stranger claiming to be a bodyguard's request to enter their home for no apparent reason?
Zhu Fu Jingguang thought about it and felt that he couldn't keep everything secret, so he tentatively revealed some information: "Are you...looking for someone?"
Shui Shangche's hand on the door handle suddenly tightened. He said coldly, "Are you detectives allowed to pry into other people's privacy without permission?"
Morobushi Jingguang said hurriedly: "No, it's not, it's just that the client got some clues about him, but because of confidentiality measures we can't reveal the specific content, but we can still tell a lot of details."
"for example?"
"That person is Ryoumiya——"
"Stop talking!" Shui Shang Che also grabbed Zhu Fu Jingguang's hand and pulled him to stagger.
He opened the door and pushed Zhu Fu Jingguang in. His face, which rarely showed intense emotions, showed an unconcealable fear. He frowned and said, "Since you are a detective, you should understand the importance of keeping secrets."
Morofushi Kagemitsu: "I——"
It seemed that the sudden emotional fluctuations just now had a negative impact on his body, and Shui Shangcheye's face turned even paler. It seemed that he had already believed Zhu Fu Jingguang's excuses. He directly interrupted Zhu Fu Jingguang and said, "Okay, okay, the rooms on the first floor are all empty, you can choose any one."
"Ahem, whatever's going on, tell me the details tomorrow morning."
Shui Shang Cheye's steps were a little staggering, and he walked up to the second floor almost like a wolf, without even glancing at the stranger.
Zhu Fu Jingguang carried his bag and looked blankly at the noble decorations around him that were steeped in the air of time. For a moment, he didn't know what he should do next.
Is this trusting him not to mess with things in the house? Just based on a name that hasn't been spoken yet?
No, that's not right. He had checked Mizukami Tetsuya's basic file and knew that he was a veteran detective who had joined the agency right after graduation and was promoted to police captain easily. No matter how important his brother was to him, it was impossible for him to completely let down his guard against him.
But his body... No wonder Yamato-no-kami Yasunari repeatedly told him to be careful with him.
Thinking of this, Zhufu Jingguang's face changed. Could it be that this man couldn't hold on any longer due to his illness?
"Hey, Aquatic Officer! Are you okay?!"
He quickly took off his bag and climbed the stairs in two steps.
On the other side, Maori Detective Agency.
Conan, who was lying on the bed, solemnly took off his glasses, sat up and looked out the window. It seemed that it was about to rain, and the moonlight was blocked by layers of dark clouds, making the whole environment look gloomy.
He rested his hands under his chin, sorting out the information he had heard from the eavesdropping device in his mind, and he felt that Mizukami Cheye was a more mysterious person.
Why would a client send a bodyguard to protect him? Could it be that he would encounter an enemy that even the police could not handle?
And the bodyguard blurted out "Liang Gong"...
Conan rubbed his hair irritably.
Assuming that Mizukami Tetsu is also related to the high school student Suzumiya Kazuki, and that person is exactly the person he is looking for in his job as an investigator, then why does he act like he has been looking for someone for a long time?
If he remembered correctly, just a few days ago, Ryomiya Kazushu appeared at the door of his house, and even told his name nonchalantly, without any intention of concealing his whereabouts.
Those detectives still can't find anyone, how much do they have to eat?
No, that's not right. Officer Mizukami had indeed looked for it intentionally. It can be seen from his conversation with Officer Megure that he even looked through old case files for this purpose. It is impossible that he could not find such an obvious existence.
Conan's mind was in a mess. The man in black and Suzumiya Kazuki appeared one after another. The man's unreserved attitude made him wonder: Did Suzumiya Kazuki deliberately let him know his name? Did he have some unspeakable secret that prevented him from seeing the Marine Officer, and then asked him for help in a roundabout way? What could a child like him understand? It was impossible that Suzumiya Kazuki already knew his identity...
"No way..." Edogawa Conan muttered with a dull look in his eyes, "Could it be that Suzumiya Kazuki was coerced by the Black Organization?"
If we assume that when he and the Junior Detective Team went to visit the doctor's house that day, Suzumiya Kazuki, a member of the Black Organization, happened to go to his house to confirm his survival, then it would be understandable that he acted as if he knew Kudo Shinichi well.
Thinking about it this way, it seemed that I had an explanation for both his ambiguous words and his evasive attitude towards Shui Shang Che.
The famous detective, who felt that he had discovered the truth, completely lost interest in sleeping. He lay back in the quilt with his head tilted back, the blood in his heart surging for a long time.
As long as they can further confirm that Suzumiya Kazuki is one of the victims of the Black Organization, then they will have a reason to cooperate.
It seems that I still need to have more contact with the water police officers and make some indirect inquiries!
Conan Edogawa was satisfied with his very logical thinking, but there was always a vague feeling of something being wrong in his heart, which made him unable to help but think wildly.
"What exactly is missing? Mizukami Tetsuya, Suzumiya Kazuki, Edogawa Keimitsu... Wait, Edogawa??"
He finally remembered that he was a high school detective under a pseudonym, and his face turned green instantly.
…
"Water Officer? Are you okay? Do you want me to call an ambulance?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang knocked on the only door that let in light, and his voice was cautious for fear of disturbing the young man inside.
Suzumiya Kazuki felt that he had finished his overtime work and had returned to his consciousness space, lying dead: ...
"Why? Why do you want to make me more dramatic?" he asked the system quietly. "I've already pretended to be so grief-stricken. Shouldn't I be left alone to grieve in peace? Why do you want to call an ambulance?"
The system didn't want to talk and threw a bunch of colorful pills at Suzumiya and Shu.
Ryoumiya and Jyukiri finished pretending, and weakly sat up from the empty bed, saying with a voice that was almost gritting their teeth, "I'm fine, there's no need to call an ambulance!"
Morofushi Jingguang thought to himself, even his voice was filled with a sense of endurance, the water police officer must be feeling very uncomfortable, right? How could he be so stubborn?
He knocked on the door patiently again, and lowered his voice as if trying to coax a disobedient child to eat: "Officer Shuishang, you can't force yourself when it comes to your body. If... your brother finds out, he'll be so worried."
No, he wasn't worried at all.
Suzumiya Kazuki said expressionlessly: "I know my own body well. Mr. Edogawa should go to bed early."
"Then can you open the door and let me take a look?" Zhu Fu Jingguang said helplessly, "Just think of it as a bodyguard worrying about your safety."
Suzumiya Kazuki said to the system in his mind, "I wonder if you are playing a trick on me. Why did the Armed Detective Society send this person to protect 'Mizukami Tetsuya'? Why don't I remember him being in the storyline of Bungo Stray Dogs?"
He chose to entrust the Armed Detective Agency with the task after considering the members there. Except for Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Ranpo, the other members were relatively easy to deal with, and these two would not leave Yokohama to protect ordinary people for a worthless commission.
Unexpectedly, Zhufu Jingguang appeared in the middle.
The system said calmly: "You can think of it as the studio attracting local characters. Although Morobushi Kagemitsu's fate has been disrupted, he still belongs to the 'Detective Conan' studio."
"So he has no special abilities?"
The system was silent for a moment: "Should be...right?"
"Water officer? Open the door."
The voice of the man at the door was still coming persistently. Suzumiya Kazuki was really afraid that he would call an ambulance. By then, the entire Metropolitan Police Department would know that he was so seriously ill on his first day at work that he needed an ambulance to save his life. By then, let alone kidnapping Conan, it would be strange if he was not resigned and put on recuperation.
There was really nothing he could do. Shui Shangche also staggered in his slippers and opened the door with a cold face: "Did you see it? I'm fine."
Seeing that Shui Shangche still looked unhappy but did not show any signs of over-endurance, Zhu Fu Jingguang breathed a sigh of relief: "I was worrying too much, Officer Shui Shang, you should go to bed early."
"Mr. Edogawa." Mizukami Tetsu said politely, "On weekdays, I usually go to bed at nine o'clock."
The implication is that if Zhufu Jingguang had not suddenly come to his house, it would have been impossible for him to be still awake at almost eleven o'clock.
Morobushi Jingguang smiled awkwardly: "Ah, is that so."
The door was mercilessly closed again. Zhu Fu Jingguang walked down the stairs holding the handrail, but his mind was still recalling the surprising glimpse he had just got when he opened the door.
——White. Pure white without any flaws.
Even though the half-open door prevented him from seeing the whole picture, the scene he saw was completely free of color, which was completely different from the warm-toned decoration on the first floor.
Even though he had just taken a few glances, Zhu Fu Jingguang had felt an invisible sense of suffocation. So how did Shui Shang Che, who had been living here, feel?
"Water Officer...it's still very painful."
Zhu Fu Jingguang murmured, "We have to find a way to make him happy. I don't know how the investigation is going at the detective agency."
As for the possibility of not being able to detect it? With Mr. Ranbu here, there is nothing in the world that cannot be detected!
Even though he had only joined the detective agency for a short time, Morobushi Jingguang had a very profound experience of this.
At this time, Suzumiya Kazuki, who had no idea how much drama some people had secretly added to his story, said to the system: "Choose a more suitable place tomorrow, and we will open a small account to go to Tokyo to have a look."
