"Hideyoshi Ikemoto? What about the location? What about the state of the body and when it was found? Good...... We'll be there right away. ”

Cars, quick coal burning, suicide notes, suicide ...... It's exactly the same as the case twelve years ago.

Kawanishi Muji clenched his fists: Have you finally reappeared?

He killed himself disguised as a suicide, what a professional designer...... AOI。

"There are no beds, they smell and dirty, and the meals are generally not enough. I really don't want to stay any longer. ”

"Aren't you bored by the same words?"

Kawano Kawaku turned his back to him.

"If you can't get out right away, at least get me a private room, right?"

Kawano Kawahisa turned to look at him, wondering if it was confidence in AOI or what. Although the Metropolitan Police Department has their lurking people, with AOI's temper, he may not necessarily agree to such a request, after all, it sounds a bit vexatious.

After walking out of the Metropolitan Police Department, Kawano Kawahisa called AOI and informed the other party of everything in the presentation room.

Eventually, an affirmative answer was obtained.

Unexpectedly, AOI would agree to such a request, which surprised him a little.

Not only will they provide them with comfortable private rooms, but they will also bring sushi or curry rice to them, so it's like enjoying them in a different place.

The next day, Higashiyamaji was put in an ambulance and finally died due to ineffective rescue.

On the third day, unable to obtain more evidence, Hideyoshi Ikemoto was convicted of suicide in fear of the crime. The case was not closed and was transferred to the Fifth Forcible Offender Special Investigation Division.

Twilight Thirteen and the others finally realized that a powerful enemy had appeared, manipulating all of this in the shadows.

"As a criminal policeman, you must not let him be wronged like this, and you must catch the real murderer and clear his name."

He looked at Chuan Xi Muji, "I'll leave this matter to you." It's just that it's not as a detective, but as a private person. Please, Kawanishi, please try not to victimize innocent people anymore. ”

Twilight Thirteen slapped him on the shoulder, making Kawanishi feel that the responsibility on his shoulders seemed to become a little heavier.

"The Twilight Police Department, whether it is public or private, even if you don't say it, I will find out who is behind it. After all, that's why I became a criminal policeman, and I have never given up pursuing it for so many years. No matter how powerful the person behind the scenes is, I will capture it with my own hands, I promise. ”

Kawanishi Kiki's gaze became particularly determined.

Six days later, Kawanishi came to the Maori Detective Agency.

Although he doesn't like detectives, he also has no feelings for "Sleeping Kogoro". But just because Mori Kogoro was a criminal policeman, he still respects him.

He came this time only as a member of the Kawanishi Muji.

After all, it is more realistic to entrust a detective to investigate the matter.

It's just that I didn't expect to meet a waiter in the coffee shop downstairs here. After explaining, I learned that he was the first apprentice of Maori Kogoro, which made Kawanishi Kiji a little surprised.

After all, the magnetic fields on the two are not the same.

"I've heard of Mr. Maori's name for a long time, and I'm here to entrust you to help me find someone."

Such flattering words are not in line with his character. But a child knows it's essential, so why shouldn't he do it? After all, the first communication between people, it is important to look for something, shorten the distance between each other, and there may be unexpected gains.

"I see, I see. Do you have some information about the other party? ”

Maori Kogoro looks serious and serious, but it is a little reliable.

"Yes."

Kawanishi Muqi handed some of the collected information to the other party.

Mori Kogoro glanced at it roughly after the results.

"Very detailed information. If that's the case, you can find each other even if you don't need me to go out, right? ”

"If it's true, then you really don't need to bother. But all the information I got was fake, as if someone had dubious designed it. Name, age, history...... Except for the one that graduated from the police academy, everything else is fake. I have asked some of her contemporaries to find out, but the answers I got are very surprising. ”

Four pairs of eyes stared at him in unison, waiting for his next words.

"Without exception, they don't remember that this person exists in the police academy, and even forgot each other's name, appearance, etc., as if someone has erased their memory, which is a little weird. Simply, some of them still remember some features and events. ”

In shooting training, everyone is not in very good shape, after all, most of them are first-time. But Qing Yujiu was a little different, after aiming at the bull's-eye, she threw the pistol out and hit the middle spot, leaving the instructor in charge of them speechless.

Let's talk about her dish, but she hit the bull's-eye; Let's say she's amazing, but she threw the gun out.

Faced with the instructor's questioning, Qing Yujiu replied confidently: "You just said that you didn't hit it!" ”

Then, was punished to wash the toilet for a week.

After that, I don't know if it was deliberately against the instructor, or if it was just like that, every time the results were ranked, it was the last place. But her instructors had high hopes for her, believing that she was just hiding her strength. But after graduating, she didn't become a police officer as expected, and I don't know what she did after that. I suspect she had something to do with a case from 12 years ago...... Of course, this is a private commission, so until you find her, I will pay you a million yen every month until I find her. ”

"One, one million yen!" Maori Kogoro was shocked, it is still one million per month, which is rounded up to one hundred million!

Maori Kogoro coughed lightly, straightened up, and said with a serious face: "Please rest assured, I will definitely find this person as soon as possible." ”

"Well, please."

Twelve years ago case......

"What is it?"

"Conan, don't ask so much children." Xiaolan took Conan aside, and then showed an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, Conan always likes this, please don't take it personally." ”

"Twelve years ago, I can't tell you. My goal is simple, just find her, even if she's not the person I really want to find. Also, if you hear from someone named 'AOI', please let me know as well, and I'll pay you an extra two million. ”

After speaking, Kawanishi Muji said goodbye and left the office.

At this time, it happened to be the time when his sister's cram school was out, and he happened to pick her up.

Chuan Nishi Mu Gui stood outside the gate, and he was the only one who looked like a parent. If it weren't for the previous incident, he might have let Shiori come alone, lest she feel like she was too nagging.

After all, always like to tell her to be careful and stay away from strangers.

"Brother, I received a super large lollipop today!"

Shiori showed him that the stick was still tied with a pink bow with a ribbon.

"If you eat too much sugar, you are prone to tooth decay."

Kawanishi Muji smiled and hugged her into the car, "Did someone like you, so they gave it to you?" ”

It is only in front of his family that he acts like an ordinary person, laughing and joking, without deliberately pretending to be calm and indifferent, and even not thinking about it for the time being.

"I don't know who gave it to me. When I returned from lunch today, I found that there was an extra lollipop on the table. There was also a greeting card that said 'AOI', and I didn't know what it meant, so I wanted my brother to see it too, so I put the greeting card away. ”

With that, Shiori opened her backpack and rummaged through it.

But I had already rummaged through the bag, but I couldn't find the greeting card.

"It's weird, is it running away with long legs?"

Shiori scratched her head, and the game looked puzzled, very confused.

"Shiori."

Kawanishi Muji suddenly called her name, "How about going to other cram schools?" Or why don't we go and spend more time playing games with friends? ”

"Why?"

Shiori pursed her lips, "I think it's more fun when I was in cram school." And I've made a lot of friends here, and I'd be sad to be separated from them like this. ”

"The separation is only temporary, not to mention that you can still play together when you have time after school. Do you understand? ”

Shiori nodded as if she didn't understand, and stopped talking.

Kawanishi looked ahead and firmly grasped the steering wheel with his hands.

AOI......

You seem to be stronger than I thought. If you do it to my family again, I'm going to kill you myself—

"Do you know AOI?"

"I thought you'd continue with the previous question. Are you sure you want to ask this, though? You know, there are no regrets about the son. ”

Conan hesitated for a moment, looked at the other party's smiling face, and realized that she didn't know who AOI was. However, as long as it's not someone from that organization, you can actually be a little more relieved. Now that AOI is in the eyes of the police, it is only a matter of time before he is caught.

"That's the same question as before. Malt whisky, who is it? ”

"Huh?"

Qinghai Chuantang blinked, as if he was a little surprised, "What is who?" Aren't you asking about wine? ”

At this moment, Conan finally understood the essence of the person in front of him, which can be summed up in one word: pit.

He couldn't help but hold his forehead, how he mistakenly thought that she would be all the way.

"Don't be too upset, little friend Conan." Qinghai Chuantang said with a smile: "I prefer practical actions to some so-called intelligence exchanges. So if you need help in the future, I will be there for you. Of course, as long as I don't touch my personal principle, I will do my best. ”

Seeing this, Conan asked with some curiosity, "Then what is your principle?" ”

He thought that it would be some kind of righteous declaration, or some loud slogan to show it. But unexpectedly, the other party replied: "As long as I'm happy, it's fine." ”

The corners of Conan's mouth twitched, what kind of principle is this?

"Principles are such things, sometimes even if they think like this, they don't necessarily fulfill it that way. So at some point, it's just thinking or talking. What really makes people stick to it is the bottom line of their hearts. For example, some people, no matter how sad or desperate they are, they will not vent their grievances on others and will not hurt others, which is a kind of bottom line. ”

And one has no bottom line, or can't stick to his bottom line. Essentially, it's no different from the demons in the abyss.

One is in hell and one is on earth.

Zombie.

"And what's your bottom line?"

It's not that Conan is getting to the bottom of things, it's that he doesn't need to know which camp the other party has chosen. There are enough suspicions on her, and in such a person who is wrapped in secret, if the other party's departure cannot be confirmed, the stage of "trust" between the two will definitely not be reached.

Yes, it's just a relationship of trading or exploitation.

"I don't know."

Qinghai Chuantang smiled: "It's not clear in a few words. But I know when, what to do and what not to do. At least on some of the options, I won't be much different from you. After all, whether it is a detective or a profiler, they are actually a little closer to the direction of the criminal police. ”
