Chapter 21 (Revised)



"Well, maybe this is fate." Amuro Toru said with a polite smile, "I think you are very friendly, can we exchange contact information and come to eat often in the future."

The memories were still flashing in his mind, and Zhu Fu Jingming realized sharply that the man in front of him must have some past connection with him.

But since the other party was being polite and pretending not to know him, he would not go out of his way to ask questions.

The word "keep your distance" is already ingrained in his bones.

"Sure." Morobushi Kagemitsu took out his non-work phone and exchanged phone numbers with Amuro Toru. "But I'm currently a bodyguard for the Marine Police Officer, so I may not have much time to come out for an appointment."

"Mizukami - Officer?" Amuro Toru showed a hint of surprise on his face, and then he focused on the person sitting opposite Morobushi Keimitsu, "It's actually a police officer, then it seems that our store is really honored."

How come he didn't know there was this officer in the Beihua Police Department? He had been busy with the organization's internal affairs recently, and had been a little lax in collecting other information.

Toru Amuro silently warned himself in his heart, but on the surface he still looked like a friendly waiter.

But this person looks a bit like someone. Maybe someone is faking his death and then doing this.

Conan Edogawa nodded and said in a childish voice, "Officer Mizukami is amazing. His ability to solve cases is super strong. Officer Megure is very happy and said that he doesn't have to worry about the police's crime-solving rate anymore."

I know Inspector Megure, so I'm in the same class with him... Then why didn't he get any news? Is there someone hiding the information from the public security department? Or is he just trying to delay time?

Could it be that the "Kingmitsu" in front of him was controlled by him and took this pseudonym to hint at him? If he was forced and could not reveal too much information, then it is possible that the phone number exchanged was not real.

Amuro Toru's mind turned around and he was determined to find out the information about Mizukami Tetsuya. He reasonably suspected that this person should have some connection with the Black Organization, and might be related to Suzumiya Kazuki, but judging from the details of his behavior, he should not be the bad guy.

Suzumiya Kazuki finished the last bite of his sandwich while looking at Toru Amuro's micro-expressions, which were sometimes nervous and confused, and sometimes alert and excited, which were extremely difficult to detect.

Well, I have to say the sandwiches here are really delicious. The lettuce is crispy and not cold, which goes well with the warm bread slices. The sauce seems to be spicy and sweet.

This is a great place to have lunch. And Amuro Toru... I'll definitely torture him again in the future, no matter how I tortured him at the brewery!

Suzumiya Kazuki laughed in his heart, not realizing at all how much trouble he had given to Amuro Toru in the past.

But then again, was this fate? Café Poirot was just a few steps away, and the so-called busy working emperor happened to be in the store, but Morofu Jingguang had completely lost his memory and did not immediately wake up.

He is not a big villain. The winery will definitely be demolished in the future, so Zhu Fu Jingguang will sooner or later join the red team to fight the enemy together. It will be beneficial for everyone to recover his memory earlier.

Thinking of this, he said, "Since Mr. Edogawa has a connection with this gentleman, you two should chat more. I'll go get a car to send the things back."

"This isn't a good idea." Zhu Fu Jingguang said with some concern, "Your safety cannot be guaranteed if you are alone. What if..."

"I was quite safe before you came."

As soon as Shui Shang Cheye finished speaking, his cell phone rang.

"Inspector Megure? Yes... yes, okay, I'll be right over there."

He closed his phone gently and said to the people who were listening curiously, "Inspector Megure said that a murder occurred in Sanchome and I need to go to the scene to investigate."

"San-chome, isn't it the place next to it?" Conan Edogawa blurted out.

"It's very close, so Mr. Edogawa can stay here and help look after the purchased items. I'll be back soon." Mizukami Che also stood up, picked up his mobile phone and prepared to go over.

Behind him, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya whispered to Conan Edogawa: "Should we follow? This is a good opportunity for our Junior Detective Team to make a great contribution."

Conan Edogawa curled his lips. If the person they were looking for was Maori Kogoro, they would definitely follow him without saying a word. But Mizukami Che was also... He was very afraid that the person would be thrown out.

But the little detective is not afraid of difficulties, and the cases happening around his residence are definitely calling him to solve them!

Yoshida Ayumi suddenly said: "San-chome, isn't this the place we went before we met Amuro-san? It's the open space next to San-chome. Genta hit the ball into a family's yard, but the door was open but no one came out, so we picked up the ball and left..."

Under normal circumstances, the Junior Detective Team would have gone in to find out what was going on out of curiosity, but this time they happened to run into Toru Amuro who had just returned from shopping, and the kids' interest was diverted.

Conan Edogawa also thought of this, and an excuse came to him immediately. He quickly said, "Then let's go and take a look!"

Several children also rushed in and ran away.

Morofushi Jingguang looked at the pile of things left around him, and thinking of Mizukami Che who had simply left without paying, he gave Amuro a somewhat helpless and guilty smile: "In that case, let's talk?"

The blond-haired, dark-skinned young man took off his apron. His smoky grey eyes were bottomless. He smiled and sat next to Morobu Jingguang and said, "What do you like to eat the most? It seems that you are a good cook, right?"

I don't know how other police officers feel when they work overtime every day, but Suzumiya Kazuki, who rushed back from the set of Curse Return, actually felt relaxed about the work on the Conan set after a long time.

There is no clash of blood and rain, no need to bravely confront a sorcerer who draws his sword at the slightest disagreement. All you need to do is simply look at a case with outrageous criminal methods, and then watch the suspect kneel, cry, and confess. How simple is that!

A yellow and black cordon had been set up at the scene, and several investigators were going in and out with tools, as if there was something troubling going on.

Shui Shang Che, who was wearing plain clothes, also took out his ID from his pocket, verified his identity, lifted the cordon and walked in.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I smelled a very strong odor, like a can of pickled fish opened on a hot day, which made me nauseous.

Mizukami Che also took the mask handed to him by the police officer and put it on, coughing a few times with some discomfort. Officer Megure was standing at the door, looking anxiously, and when he saw him coming, he hurried forward and wanted to hold his shoulders, but because of the height difference, he could only barely support his arm.

"Brother Mizukami, you're here really fast. It's just in time for me to come and take a look at this case." Inspector Megure sighed, "It still feels a bit tricky."

Mizukami Che also nodded and followed Inspector Megure in.

This is a small single-family villa, surrounded by a lush courtyard. The room is large and has two floors, but because the victim lived alone, no one would go up to the second floor. The murder site was also in the study on the first floor. The deceased had been covered with a cloth and placed on a stretcher, waiting for the rest of the staff to arrive. Only the lines drawn with chalk were left on the spot.

I don't know if Takagi Shigeru is used to working overtime, but seeing how he is fully armed in his police uniform, I guess this weekend's holiday doesn't belong to him. At this time, he is holding a file and reading the intelligence honestly.

"The deceased is Seto Kazutatsu, 33 years old, a reporter for a newspaper. He died around 7:30 last night and was found by a witness at 4:30 this afternoon. The cause of death is...well, the cause of death is still unknown."

Takagi shook his head, his eyes still filled with confusion: "A very small amount of potassium cyanide was detected on the deceased, and there was a tightly closed bottle of poison next to him. There were strangulation wounds on the neck and knife wounds on the chest. Because it has been a long time, the order of death cannot be seen for the time being, but judging from the Yoshikawa Line, he should have been strangled by a rope around his neck first, causing suffocation."

"Is there toxin in the blood?" Shui Shang Che also lifted a corner of the cloth with gloves on. He saw that the deceased's lips were purple, but it didn't look like he was severely poisoned. The wound on his chest was not very conspicuous, and not much blood flowed out.

Seto looked to be only about 1.6 meters tall, but he weighed 200 kilograms. His fat melted in the summer, emitting a foul odor that spread outside as the door opened.

"That should be the case." Takagi Shige scratched his head, "After all, your nails have turned black."

"What about the other clues?" Shui Shang Che also loosened his hand and let the cloth slide off naturally. His expression could not be seen because of the mask, but for some reason one could tell that he was not very happy.

But no one would be happy seeing a dead body...

Takagi ignored the uneasy feeling in his heart and continued, "We checked and found that no money was lost. It was just that the computer in the study was turned on, but it was locked and we couldn't unlock it."

"The witness...has a special identity and is currently being detained next door. Other suspects have already been sent to be invited."

Shui Shang Che also nodded and walked to the computer first. The computer was indeed turned on. He moved the mouse and a line of locked words popped up on it: "You can check the things around the desk first to see if there are any notebooks or secret codes."

Inspector Megure adjusted his hat and looked outside. He happened to find the Junior Detective Team sneaking in. He quickly called out, "Hey, Conan, and the other kids, why are you here?"

"It's all Genta's fault. We walked too slowly..." Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko muttered softly, "We almost could have slipped in."

Yoshida Ayumi grabbed the corner of her clothes worriedly: "This is the yard we came to this afternoon. How could this happen?"

Conan Edogawa walked back helplessly, and said to Officer Megure who looked disapproving, "We just heard Officer Mizukami say that something happened here. We happened to pass by here this afternoon, and wanted to see if we could provide clues for the police uncle."

"Ah, you were here this afternoon?" Inspector Megure was surprised. "When? Did you see anyone else or hear any noise?"

"It was around 1:00 p.m., we were playing soccer in the playground next door, and Gen Taiyi accidentally kicked the soccer ball into the yard, so we walked in through the side door to pick up the ball." Edogawa Conan said, "The side door was not locked, and it was very quiet."

Yoshida Ayumi raised her hand and said, "I thought I heard a kitten meowing, but I didn't chase it because I saw Amuro-san."

Shui Shang Che also came over, his voice much softer, but still with a warning: "This is not a detective game. Children should not watch these things. They are likely to have nightmares at night."

"But we really want to help the police find the murderer." Conan blinked his eyes, trying to show his sincerity, but it seemed that he tried too hard, and the friends standing next to him subconsciously moved a step to the side.

"Can……"

"Officer Mizukami, Officer Megure! We have found the password and opened the computer!" the members of the Forensic Department shouted in surprise.

Officer Megure walked over with his hands behind his back and frowned, "Is this a death message? A person's name and a black crow icon? What does the red cross on it mean?"

"Suzumiya Kazuki? Who is this..."
