Amuro wakes up with a dull ache in the back of the head.

His chest was throbbing, and there was a faint smell of blood left between his breaths. Perhaps the impact of the shock injured his internal organs, and he jumped into the sea at a height of more than ten meters, without taking the correct posture, and the water surface was almost no different from the cement pavement.

The moment he fell into the water, Amuro didn't immediately fall into a coma.

Diving is a compulsory course for the police, and this is for their emergency survival in extreme situations, where they will die if they fall from a height, but there is still a trace of life when they fall on the water.

There are a lot of jumps by the pool, and when others are still at a height of 2.5 meters, Amuro has already stood on the 10-meter platform.

Relying on his well-developed motor nerves, Amuro did quite well in diving, and this good result eventually saved his life. When the freighter exploded, he jumped into the pitch-black sea in a standard position, and the next second, the fire rolled in the sky.

- Amuro was lying on the ground, maintaining his unconscious breathing rate, and his five senses gradually recovering made him feel the hardness and coldness of his back.

He appeared to be lying on a metal surface.

There was silence all around. There didn't seem to be any other caretaker around, and just in case, Amuro didn't open his eyes immediately, and only used his hearing to discern his surroundings.

Keep reminiscing.

He fell into the sea, but what about after he fell into the sea?

What's going on beneath the surface?

Amuro thought desperately, his rusty and dull thoughts slowly revived, and there was a tingling pain in the back of his neck, and then he remembered that he had actually been stunned by a knife.

The moment the freighter exploded, the air compressed to the extreme erupted with incomparable power, setting off a wave that was three or four people high.

The diffuse shock wave licked the waves, and the overwhelming wall of water pressed on his head, and Amuro had just surfaced and was immediately slapped down by the waves!

Liquid poured in from all directions, and the ubiquitous coldness almost gave the illusion of suffocation. Amuro coughed, two bubbles erupted from his nose, and the icy sea water poured in.

Caught off guard, Amuro didn't have time to hold his breath, and his mouth and nose were immediately filled with water. In the ups and downs, he had completely lost his direction, and for an extremely long time, only the instinct to survive struggled desperately.

Finally, in the next second of suffocation, the wet blonde hair burst out of the water.

Amuro coughed up the choking water, took a deep breath, and dived back below the surface. Compared to the rough seas, the water will be relatively calm, and snorkeling will save the most energy.

He had to leave as soon as possible.

The compartment had already been blown through, and the capsizing of the freighter was inevitable. The sunken ship will form a whirlpool on both sides, and if he does not leave the area in time, he will also be swept under the water by the whirlpool and die.

Amuro swam a few meters forward and floated to the surface regularly for ventilation. In the midst of the chaos and turmoil, he didn't notice the shadows approaching behind him.

This was the second mistake Amuro made.

The first mistake was to insist on boarding the deck even though he received a reminder because the sender was unknown. However, the text message from Pulque did raise his vigilance to an unprecedented level, which gave him a chance to jump into the sea and escape in the explosion.

The second mistake is that he forgot to watch out for his back.

- because the smell is all too familiar.

When he was a child, he and Zhu Fu Jingguang often played a game of ghost hunting, one person was a ghost, and the other was hidden. Falling Gu Zero shrank in the corner, and Zhu Fu Jingguang would tiptoe to the back and slam his shoulder suddenly.

The memories have faded, but some habits have never faded, and they remain deeply rooted in his heart. …… Amuro didn't react for a moment, his senses were blunted by this familiar breath, and the next second, it wasn't the hand that he pressed on his shoulder in his memory.

Amuro was stabbed hard and immediately lost consciousness.

Is it the scenery behind him?

…… How can it be.

Amuro chuckled self-deprecatingly, fantasizing about his unrealistic weakness.

Unconsciously, he had been lying flat in place for a long time, but there was silence around him, and it seemed that he was indeed the only one here

。

Amuro slowly opened his eyes.

The four sides of the cold white metal walls evenly fill the entire space.

The lighting in the room seems to use the principle of diffuse reflection, no specific light source can be seen, and the shadows are so faint that they are negligible, and being in the middle of it almost gives people the illusion that they can't distinguish between up and down, left and right.

Coldly and rigorously decorated, this place is like some kind of high-tech research institute, only the wet Amuro Toru is out of place with it.

He fumbled around for a week, making sure there were no hidden mechanisms on the wall, and cautiously knocked on the metal wall.

The echo is empty.

There should be some other space behind the wall, but there is no door in the wall.

How should he leave?

At this moment, the mobile phone in the pants suddenly shook.

Toru Amuro's pockets are zippered, his phone was not lost in the sea, and the person who knocked him unconscious was not searched. Surprised, he immediately looked down.

Even with the special waterproof equipment of the public security, it took a piece of the screen to stay in a wet pocket for so long. The mottled pixels were colorful, and in the flickering light, Amuro could barely make out a few words.

It's still that spooky number.

The freighter's explosion was so sudden that Amuro didn't even have time to tell Kazami that there was an extra critter in his apartment. The owner did not return for a long time, and only a white Shiba Inu jumped up and down in the empty room.

As the night passed, Harrow was so hungry that he learned to open the refrigerator, but the contents disappointed the dog.

Amuro is a skilled cook, but his apartment only has fast food.

The tip of Harrow's nose twitched, picking through the colorful packaging, and opened his mouth to take a pack of original instant noodles. As it was concentrating on tearing the plastic bag, its sparse movement suddenly stopped.

Harrow's ears twitched, and he heard a strange noise coming from the door.

The sound of the door lock was masked by the alarm from the refrigerator, and it had been too long since the door had been opened. Harrow threw himself at the door, hid the instant noodles in the crack under the refrigerator, and came out of the kitchen happily.

The door lock was not opened.

Between the cracks in the bright and shaking door, there was a faint sound of several people discussing:

"Hey, are you sure, there's really no one in there?"

"Why are you so cowardly?" Another person teased him, "It's blown up so hard, Da Luo Immortal should be damned." I didn't hear what you were asked to do, find the account books, don't shrink your head, bastard. ”

"Haven't opened yet? It's too slow. ”

“……”

Harrow took a wary step back, a purring sound rolling through his throat. With a click, several people outside the door finally picked the lock.

As soon as the intruder stepped into one leg, there was an instant sharp pain in his ankle!

A white dog barked without barking, and the moment it opened the door, it pounced and bit his leg deadly. It was already summer, and there was no thick clothing to protect it, and there were immediately a few shocking blood holes on the legs of the visitors.

At the forefront was a little ruffian with a head of Moxican, who cursed angrily, and immediately raised his leg to kick, but Harrow jumped back a few steps, and deftly avoided the wind blowing in his face.

"T*D, there's a dog here!"

"Even a dog can bite you, and you'll die of it." The man in the back fell into the well, but the last person to come in said, "Be careful, don't attract neighbors." ”

He wore a black mask and looked like the leader of the three.

As soon as the black mask spoke, the two little ruffians in front of him suddenly fell silent. At this time, Harrow took it when he saw it, and the whole dog had already hid behind the sofa, and the two looked at each other and took a detour to catch the dog from both ends.

Moxigan took a step ahead, and when he saw the white tail flickering in his field of vision, he immediately pounced without saying anything!

What he didn't expect was that Harrow was waiting for this moment.

Moxican didn't even catch a single dog hair on his head, and he stepped on his head. Harrow jumped on the back of the sofa with his strength and immediately ran out, not waiting for the black mask at the door to react, and had already escaped through the gap in the door frame.

The head of the Mohican on the ground was dumbfounded, and it took a long time for him to say, "...... Is this dog a sperm? ”

A Shiba Inu can slip like this without leaving his hands, this incident surprised the three of them, so much so that after chasing a few steps, Harrow's figure has disappeared into the stairwell.

Another person asked Black Mask: "Boss, can we still chase after us?" ”

The elevator is still on this floor, and they definitely get to the first floor faster than the dog running the stairs.

"No, you don't."

Black Mask pondered for a moment, "It's just a dog, it's important to find the account books." ”

There were already staggering footsteps behind the neighbor's door, and Harrow ran and barked as he went out, and the sound of frantic dogs barking echoed through the hallway. After the three men retreated back to the door in an echo, silence was restored outside the door when the neighbor opened the door.

Gray Plains is missing.

Aware of this, even in the hot sun, Conan still couldn't resist the chill rising in his heart.

There must be a ghost in this temporary so-called medical examination!

But Gray Yuan has been staying in Didan Primary School for so long, and who realized that her identity is abnormal?

The enemy's action had begun, and Conan was still in a state of blackness, surprised and agitated by the hidden threat.

Elementary school students lined up in a row, and the physical examination began one by one in the lobby on the first floor. All the people who asked for leave were led into a conference room by the nurse in a separate group.

As soon as he entered the door, Conan immediately shouted, "Sister nurse, I want to go to the toilet, okay?" ”

"Do you need me to accompany you?" The nurse smiled and bent over, Conan shook his head vigorously, and swooped out of the room.

In order to beware of surreptitious surveillance, he also ran into the toilet.

Sitting on the toilet lid in the cubicle, Conan took out his mobile phone and hesitated for a rare moment before dialing.

…… The first thing that can't be done is to call the police.

Regardless of the identity of the person who took her, it is inseparable from the organization. This behemoth hidden in the shadows has always been the highest criterion for action, once Conan makes a big fuss, the other party is likely to tear up the ticket on the spot, so that the disappearance of Gray Yuan Wai will forever become an unsolved case registered by the Metropolitan Police Department.

What's more, if the power of the police could be trusted, there would be no sleeping Kogoro at all - Conan would have already told the Twilight Police Department his true identity.

Knowing that the organization exists means danger, so even if he had to ask for help, he had very few names to call.

FBI…… Shuichi Akai. Hiroshi Karasawa.

Distant noises in my ears, and streets that are so silent that they are almost vacuum.

Shuichi Akai's meaningful green eyes resurfaced in front of Conan.

Outside Poirot's Cafe that morning, no matter how much Conan asked, Shuichi Akai refused to say why he was suspicious. He is like a detective immersed in the world of reasoning, and his most direct suspicions are radiated with the clues he has mastered.

Hiroshi Karasawa is the suspect he has locked, and all the chains of evidence are integrated in the black-haired FBI's mind, and until he gets that conclusive evidence, Akai Shuichi will never reveal a single thing.

Conan's thumb was already stuck on the name of Yu Karasawa. Hovered for a moment, but moved down in frustration.

“…… Let's let Mr. Akai know first. ”

If there was no episode, Conan's first reaction would have been to dial Tang Zeyu's number first.

It's a terrible thing to see a drop of water through a stone.

Obviously they have known each other for less than two months, but he is already used to asking Tang Zeyu for help. There may also be a sense of unconscious dependence, no matter what happens, from a small relationship to an organization, the person on the other end of the phone rarely can't respond...... Except, of course, late at night.

It wasn't until he was hung up that Conan suddenly noticed the time in the upper right corner, and realized that he might have interrupted something.

But now.

His subconscious behavior was suspended, and a strange sense of awkwardness appeared in Conan's heart. only

Like a person who is accustomed to using his right hand is forced to write with his left hand, and in addition to being unaccustomed to it, another feeling that follows him is a lack of heart.

Isn't this a sign of distrust?

His behavior is almost indistinguishable from that of the grass on the wall, and he is easily turned against by some chasing after the wind.

But the stakes are high, and he can't surrender his fate to an illusory possibility.

Conan bit his lip and finally pressed Shuichi Akai's number.

The ringing of the bell lasted for a long time.

He had never felt the wait so long, and when he came out of the toilet and found that there was no one in the hallway, he cautiously slipped into the office area behind him.

And then - click.

No one on the other end was connected, the dialing time was too long, and the call automatically hung up.

Okiya was by the floor-to-ceiling window of Café Poirot's and saw Harrow running wildly.

Amuro didn't come to Kudo's house, so he went to Poirot's café to guard him. Unexpectedly, the blonde-haired waiter actually missed work without saying hello, and in the huge storefront, only Enomoto Azusa was busy inside and outside in distress.

Okiya politely ordered a cup of black coffee, and was about to leave with his notebook in his hand, when the door of the store was pushed open and a white shadow rushed in like lightning.

Enomoto Azusa wondered, "Harrow, why are you here?" ”

There were two people standing at the counter, the female clerk who cut the sandwich and the Okiya Pleiades who was just leaving. Shiba Inu slid his footsteps, looked up to the sides, hesitated for a moment, tilted his head and grabbed the leg of Okiya's pants.

A strong blow struck, and the pink-haired graduate student staggered two steps. Realizing that a dog's strength could not hold him back, Harrow let go of his trousers and barked vigorously at Okiya.

The latter does not understand dog language, and the urgency in the dog's barking can still be understood.

Okiya thought thoughtfully: "It's Amuro Toku...... No, it's an apartment? ”

Harrow snorted at him again, as if to affirm, as if urging him to hurry on his way. Shiba Inu turned around and was about to go out, but his dark eyes kept looking back.

Enomoto Azusa also wanted to come along, but then there would be no clerk in the café, and Toru Amuro was nowhere to be found, so she couldn't leave her post.

Okiya smiled comfortingly: "It's okay, I'll just go over it." ”

"Won't you be delayed?" Azusa Enomoto asked hesitantly.

"It's important to save people." Okiya nodded, "I'll go first." ”

- Dogs rely on smells, not images. For this reason, Okiya did not drive, and followed Harrow all the way to the downstairs of Amuro's apartment.

The elevator parked on the first floor was just about to close, and a man and a dog rushed into the car.

Okiya's finger hovered over the buttons: "Which layer?" ”

He descended from the top floor, and when he reached the 10th floor, Harrow let out a snort.

Conan's call came in at this time, and the signal in the elevator was weak, and Okiya didn't receive it.

The red numbers slowly jumped upwards as Okiya changed her phone to silent mode.

…… I don't know what happened in Amuro's apartment to make this dog who has become a spirit all the way to help.

If someone breaks into the empty door, Okiya must at least ensure that the phone does not expose itself at a critical time.

When approaching the tenth floor, there was a faint sound of several people talking overhead.

"Nope."

"I don't know where I'm hiding......"

To prevent loss of contact, please remember the alternate domain name of this site:

Okiya Pleiades originally had a calm face, but the moment the phone sounded, he realized something, and suddenly his face changed, and he quickly slapped the button on the 9th floor!

But by this time it was too late.

The stop of the elevator requires a certain amount of reaction time. The sound insulation of the closed car is too good, and when Okiya heard the conversation of the three people, the number on the display screen had already slid non-stop over 9, running towards the established end -

"If we can't get the account books, how can we pay to the top?" Mohican hung his head down.

The black mask looked unfazed: "The account books may not be hidden here." There are other people in charge of other places, and we rule out this location

That's it. ”

When Okiya and Harrow arrived, the elevator was about to go up, but the button on the upper floor to go down was exactly what the three people waiting at the door pressed it!

With a clang, the metal door slowly opened.

Moxigan, who was at the front, saw the white figure on the ground behind the door at a glance, the wound on his calf was still bleeding, and new and old hatreds instantly surged into his heart:

"You dead dog, how dare you come back? Leave him for me! ”

He smiled triumphantly, and the next second he flew forward. The two behind him didn't know what was going on, and then with a bang, Moxican flew out upside down and slammed into the white wall behind him!

The elevator doors are fully open, and the white Shiba Inu dog barks aggressively, and a tall pink-haired man stands inside, unhurried to undo his cuffs.

“…… It seems that the timing was coincidental,"

Okiya smiled slowly: "As for now, it's up to us who can stay." ”

*

Akai Shuichi's phone didn't work, and Conan just wanted to dial it a second time, when in the corridor in front of him, the figure of the head teacher, Mr. Kobayashi, suddenly appeared.

Conan hid behind the wall with bated breath, only to hear the other side say, "Yes, this is the roster of classmates who took leave this time." ”

There was also a person standing opposite Sumiko Kobayashi, and Conan recognized it at a glance that this was the person in charge of the hospital's physical examination.

"All the lists are here, thank you." The person in charge nodded coldly.

This is a young woman with long curly hair, red lips, and a black and white suit and skirt, if she doesn't work in a hospital, she is more like an elite who comes and goes on the financial street.

This dress is different from other white coats, which makes Conan firm in the suspicion that there is a ghost in the physical examination. After Sumiko Kobayashi left, the master of hating the sky held a thick stack of rosters and hired Tingting through the corridor, Conan bent down and bowed his head, and followed carefully all the time.

…… What else do they need to do with the leave list and check all the suspicious people?

The person who chooses to take leave is either really due to physical reasons, or he and Gray Yuan Ai have fake identities that cannot be registered.

Gray Yuan Ai had been hiding in the Didan Elementary School for so long, once the people of the organization found her, they would naturally be suspicious of the people around her.

Therefore, the physical examination kills two birds with one stone, which can not only take away the gray plain in the chaos, but also wipe out other suspicious characters!

The more Conan thought about it, the more cold sweat broke out, and at this time, he had already followed the hatred of the sky up two steps.

The hospital gets quieter and quieter the higher it goes, and there are visitors in civilian clothes on the first floor, and there are almost no visitors on the upper floor. Coming and going were either hospitalized patients in hospital gowns or snow-white nurses and doctors.

Conan was dressed in a dark blue suit, and his small figure became more and more conspicuous in the hallway. A nurse's inquiring voice turns the hate, and Conan has to pretend to be a hide and seek bear child, and hurriedly find an excuse to slip away.

But such a reason can only be used once, and if it is discovered by Hate Tiangao again, Conan's tracking will be exposed.

Fortunately, nothing like this happened next, and after going up one layer more, the white floor tiles turned into a crimson carpet.

This appears to be the administrative office area of the hospital.

The hallway was empty, and Conan hid behind the handrail of the staircase, and when he saw that Hate Tiangao knocked on one of the doors, he pushed the door and walked in without waiting for a response from inside.

Isn't there anyone in this office?

It was unexpectedly good news, and when she walked down the stairs, Conan slipped into the room.

The sign at the door indicates that this is supposed to be the dean's office.

The office was a bit unremarkable compared to the intrigue hanging overhead, with a reception sofa by the window, a huge mahogany desk, and a wall full of bookcases. There are stacks of papers in the corner of the desk, and the list of leave requests is placed in the center of the desk.

The teachers knew nothing about the truth of the medical examination, and the register was patched together, and it was full of scattered torn shreds.

Conan picked out the list of Class B for the year and stuffed it into his pocket.

At this moment, the quiet office suddenly sounded

A voice!

Conan was startled and slipped under his desk, only to realize that the sound was coming from his pocket.

A gentle male voice said, "Conan, what's wrong?" ”

- And this is clearly not Shuichi Akai's timbre.

Conan was stunned for a few seconds before questioning, and finally remembered that he was blindly dialing the numbers in his pocket when he was tracking the sky.

I don't know if it was the dual-purpose of the heart, or the muscle memory deep in the bone marrow, so that in an unconscious state, he finally dialed another number, and the other end of the phone was answered almost in seconds.

"Is something wrong?" Tang Zeyu asked suspiciously.

TBC.
