Chapter 18



Silence, silence is the thinking of Liang Gong and Shu at this moment.

He looked at the "self" on the screen with a serious expression, and asked the system a soul-searching question: "Is it too late for me to tear up the card now?"

System: “…That’s not necessary.”

Feeling that his host was about to shut himself off to the point of vomiting his soul, the system quickly comforted him: "These are all minor issues. My host, you must believe in your professional qualities--"

"My professional qualities?" Ryoumiya Kazuki rubbed his temples, looking suffocated. "I've played a lot of villains in the past, so I can't say much about other things, but my crying posture is indeed quite standard..."

"No, no, no." The system quickly made a patch, and advised earnestly, "At least you didn't explain the things that couldn't be explained, and you also firmly maintained the character of Mizukami Cheya."

"for example?"

The system said solemnly: "The posture of fainting from crying is also perfect, and it fits the debuff you put on her very well."

Suzumiya Kazuki: "...get out of here."

After joking with the system, Suzumiya Kazuki managed to regain his composure. The "vacation" state in his subconscious mind still made him relax a lot. At least during his previous working hours, he never made mistakes like drinking.

Fortunately, there was no mistake this time. At most, it was just a social failure. As long as he arranges the script, there is still a chance that he can use it...

After preparing himself mentally, Suzumiya Kazuki went to Tokyo again wearing the guise of the cursed spirit. He left some cursed energy on the fake notebook, put it in a waterproof bag, and threw it into the sea.

The system watched helplessly as the notebook made with 0.01% of the energy fell into the sea. It was so heartbroken that it could not breathe. "Master Host! This is not the way to burn energy. If you want to throw away paper, we can use the winery's money to buy paper from a stationery store and tear it up for fun. But you can't throw it into the sea. This will pollute the marine ecological environment. It's not environmentally friendly!"

"Did you spend your energy to update without telling me? Why are you talking so much now?" Suzumiya Kazuki looked at the tightly wrapped notebook floating away with the waves and explained, "It would be too deliberate to lead the Pansei Cult to it now. It would easily arouse the vigilance of the sorcery world. It's better to change a method and let the sea choose the next scapegoat for us."

"Hmm... I think my old club in Yokohama is pretty good."

A true script writer cannot determine all the plots along the way, but rather determines the beginning and the end, and then adapts to the situation in the middle.

Since I have missed the best opportunity to shift the blame, I might as well try another route, as long as the outcome is the same.

Suzumiya Kazuki did not explain to the system how he was sure that the notebook would drift to Yokohama. Instead, he dressed up and found a food street in Tokyo to turn his sorrow and anger into appetite.

I have to say that although the winery has many undercover agents, many mentally ill people, and a lot of overtime, the salary paid to employees is still good.

On the other side, Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru, who had sent Mizukami Tetsuya to the hospital, were sitting on the family chairs in the corridor and chatting idly.

"The doctor said that the Marine Officer's emotions fluctuated too much after drinking, and his body couldn't bear it for a while and he passed out." Takagi Wataru wiped the spit on his face that the doctor had cursed at him, with a miserable look on his face, "I don't know who gave the Marine Officer the premium sake..."

Miwako Sato folded her arms across her chest and couldn't help complaining, "I thought the water police officer was a reliable and steady person, but I didn't expect that he didn't even know how to take care of his own body? He still drinks like this."

Takagi Wataru was distracted and said softly, "Well, I don't think that Shui Shang police officer is greedy. When I sent him out, I saw a lot of case files on his desk. Not only the recent reports, but also the reports from two years ago. They were all related to missing persons. He might be... looking for someone. I can understand that he is in a bad mood and has a drink next to him."

Sato Miwako subconsciously rubbed the handcuffs hanging around her waist and sighed, "Why did he get so emotional when he saw that Matsuda guy? Does that guy deserve a beating now?"

"Hey, hey, hey, it's not good to say bad things about people in public, right?" Jinpei Matsuda, wearing a police uniform and sunglasses, appeared out of nowhere and sat next to the two of them. "Is Officer Shuikami still awake?"

"no."

"This is really..." Matsuda Jinpei frowned, "Is it really possible for him to take a lesson with his physique?"

Miwako Sato shrugged her shoulders and said, "It was an order from above. But Officer Mizukami is very good at solving cases, which is very helpful in saving the image of our police. By the way, Matsuda, are you feeling better now?"

Three years ago, Jinpei Matsuda was involved in a very tragic bombing incident. Although he escaped, he was seriously injured.

He took off his sunglasses, revealing his scarred right cheek: "It's OK, at least I saved my life, which is much better than the water police officer's physical condition."

"Tsk, you still can't speak." Sato Miwako rolled her eyes at him and lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Takagi Wataru looked at the two people communicating in a confused manner, and then he realized that they had known each other for a long time. No wonder his colleagues in the bureau were howling in horror...

He just sat there and watched, and the lemons were about to fall.

As if they heard some noise in the ward, the three of them stood up at the same time.

Sato Miwako stopped Matsuda Jinpei and said, "Stand at the door for a while, don't irritate others again."

"Ahem, come in, all of you." A slightly hoarse voice came from the ward, along with the rustling sound of clothes and quilts rubbing against each other.

The three of them looked at each other and walked in.

Because it happened so recently, people didn't know Shui Shang Cheye's temper and didn't dare to change his clothes, so he was still wearing a suit and could leave at any time. When a few people came in, they saw Shui Shang Cheye calmly pulling out the needle and skillfully plugging it with a cotton swab placed beside him.

"This bottle of potion is not finished yet." Takagi Wataru said cautiously, "Officer Shuikami, do you want to take a break?"

Shui Shang Che also smiled gently, his pale eyes full of determination: "I know my body well, these are just minor problems."

Most patients would say they are not sick... Takagi Shigeru complained subconsciously in his heart, but when he came to his senses he quickly waved away the thought in his mind. Bah, bah, bah, it was obvious at first glance that Officer Shuikami was the type who had something in mind.

Miwako Sato also apologized: "It was our fault for not considering the matter carefully. We wanted to hold a welcome party for the water police officer, but ended up messing it up."

Matsuda Jinpei muttered subconsciously, "I just got reinstated, but I don't even have a share."

Shui Shang Che was also stunned for a moment, then he stood up and walked in front of them, saying to Matsuda Jinpei: "I'm very sorry about what happened this afternoon. If you don't mind, please accept my small gift."

As if by magic, a pendant inlaid with emeralds appeared in his open palm. The coin-sized surface was shimmering with faint colorful shadows under the light, as if it could reflect a forest. Even if Jinpei Matsuda didn't understand the market, he could easily tell that this object was definitely not an ordinary item.

You call this a small compensation? That's really unconventional, isn't it?

He quickly refused, "It's hard for me to accept something so valuable, and it was my fault for barging into your office without knocking."

"I think this one suits you very well." Mizukami Che did not let him refuse and directly put the pendant in his hand. He turned around and threw one of a different color to Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru, "Everyone who sees it can have it."

The three ordinary people who ate state-funded rations were silent. For a moment, they didn't know whether to ask why they had to carry such precious gems with them, or whether it was really okay to give these things away.

Shui Shang Che also saw that they were still in a daze, so he turned around and picked up his coat hanging on the rack next to him and casually put it on: "If you feel sorry for me, please do me a favor."

"You say."

Matsuda Jinpei consciously used honorifics.

"Because my family is in the jewelry business, I will carry a few of these gemstones with me." Shui Shang Che also explained the background, and then said, "I have a biological brother named 'He Shu' who I have a very good relationship with. He got lost two years ago and his whereabouts are unknown. He carried this with him——"

He took out an exquisite pocket watch from his pocket. It was inlaid with fine aqua blue diamonds that looked like the twinkling starry sky. The connection between the watch cover and the chain was specially hollowed out, and his abbreviation "TS" was written on it.

"My brother's is purple, and it also has his initials 'WK' written on it. If nothing goes wrong, he will probably keep it well and wear it on his body."

After noting down the characteristics and promising to try their best to find clues, they parted ways directly at the hospital.

Suzumiya Kazuki, dressed in the appearance of Mizukami Tetsuya, was strolling slowly on the road carrying a briefcase. From time to time, he would focus his attention on the missing person flyers, then sigh and look away.

A gust of cold wind blew across his hair, causing him to lower his head and cough twice, looking particularly vulnerable. Shui Shangche also looked up, and the sky, touched by the setting sun, was dyed a surging red, and the colorful clouds spread out like waves, creating a sad and beautiful scene that looked like snow was falling.

——It was extremely hot yesterday, but it has become cooler today.

He strolled leisurely along the way until he entered Shuishang's house and closed the door.

"Are you sure that Zhufu Jingguang didn't wake up for a whole day?"

On the second floor, Ryomiya and Shu did not rush back to the consciousness space, but confirmed the situation with the system again.

In order to prevent this "bodyguard" from following him to the Metropolitan Police Department and being discovered, he had no choice but to go all out as he could not find a reason to refuse. He directly drugged the man and let him sleep comfortably at home for a day. The nutrients his body needed would be processed by the system's black technology and would definitely not be discovered.

Anyway, on the Conan set, the time changes so much that it might have been July yesterday and February today, and most people wouldn't notice that they missed a day.

The system answered loudly: "I guarantee that he will have an excellent sleep quality and will not wake up once."

After all, it asked Ryoumiya Kazuki awkwardly, "Master host, how many gems do you want to rub? Can you give me an exact number? After all, our energy is not burned."

"Only one is enough."

"For Suzumiya Kazuki?"

Suzumiya Kazuki gave a meaningful smile: "No - that's too straightforward. Use your mechanical brain and think about it. Who else in the Conan world is interested in gems?"

"Hiss——" The system took a breath of cool air, "It's the thief Kidd."

Suzumiya Kazuki yawned and returned to consciousness: "Don't think too much, everything I do is meaningful - except drinking."

"Oh, by the way, don't bother Zhu Fu Jingguang tomorrow, otherwise it will be bad if someone finds out."

The system shut up obediently and quickly went back to its space to COS the pillow.

On the first floor, in a dim room, Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had slept for a whole day, tossed and turned on the bed with a frown on his face and a look of pain, but he couldn't wake up no matter what.
