[Conan/Through Her] Fairy's Indus

"I have to go on a long trip recently. During this period... can you please help me take care of Harrow?"

In the living room of Kudo's house, Kudo Shinichi frowned as he looked at the blond woman bowing deeply.

The air was not quiet. In the children's room with the door closed, the sound and laughter of Kudo Ran, her young daughter, and Xiao Bai Chai playing together could be faintly heard.

She maintained her bowing posture and continued to add, "And if I fail to come back, Harrow may have to be entrusted to your care in the future."

"...Have you really decided?" Kudo Shinichi had a sullen face and answered the question, "I don't agree, it's very dangerous there."

She raised her head and sat back on the sofa. She looked gentle but her tone was firm: "I have to go."

Kudo Shinichi moved his lips.It was rare that the witty detective seemed to want to say something but couldn't think of the words, but the guest showed a naughty smile: "The Shinichi I know would not show such an expression."

Kudo was stunned and smiled bitterly, "You are right. In the past, I was probably the one who did such risky things regardless of life... The people who showed such expressions were always the people around me."

"Be more confident and get rid of the general idea. So now it's my turn!" She stretched out her index finger and made a circle, "This is called the change of fortune -"

"...That's not how this saying goes." Kudo sighed, "If possible, I really want to stop you. But now, I can only wish you good luck. We will take care of Hello. Okay, you don’t have to worry about that.”

"Well! Thank you." She stood up with a bright smile, "Shinichi, you have become calmer, which is good."

"You haven't changed at all." Kudo Shinichi stared at her seriously, "Are you still trapped seven years ago?"

She laughed twice, did not answer the question, but waved her hand, "I'm leaving, bye."

Many details of the secret and grand escape that took place in the early spring seven years ago have been slowly forgotten by the parties involved as time goes by.

But she still remembers the bright smile of relief on Bourbon's face when he extended her invitation to "let's run away together."

The days of hiding here and there with all the nerves seemed to stretch out even longer, but recalling it was not very painful. At that time, they were clearly followed by the red and black sides who wanted to kill them or capture them alive. Bourbon But she still maintained a look of being at ease, and arranged the food, clothing, housing and transportation for the two of them thoughtfully and meticulously, without her having to worry about it at all - that thrilling short escape, she recalled afterwards more like a pleasant but unreal escape. short journey.

Everything started abruptly and ended unexpectedly.It seemed that as soon as Ruri woke up, the people around her had changed and the environment had changed. The Bourbon who had always been guarding her for fear that she would get lost in the blink of an eye, had actually moved away and was replaced by a strange policeman. He smiled lovingly and said, "Don't be afraid, kid. The criminals who kidnapped you have escaped, and all the bad guys who were chasing you have been killed. From now on, we will be responsible for protecting you. The nightmare is over."

——But it wasn’t all a nightmare.

After Bourbon sent all the information about the organization he had to the red side, including the Japanese public security, the American FBI, CIA, and the British MI6, and escaped with her, he quietly joined forces with the Japanese public security to annihilate the pursuer in one fell swoop. The radical gang organized by them then coaxed her to drink a drink laced with narcotics at the airport and handed her over to the police. Finally, they boarded an international flight to an unknown destination alone and left Japan.

Even if she emphasized to them that she was not Bourbon's hostage but an accomplice, they would just touch her hair with pity and arrange for a psychiatrist for her.

After talking to the psychiatrist for the fourth time, Ruri decided to shut up.

Due to Bourbon's sudden backstab, the top management of the organization were dismissed one after another. The huge organization was in chaos and was defeated one by one by the red side. Conan also restored his identity as Kudo Shinichi. Everything was slowly getting back on track, and he was finally able to relax. The policemen who came down chose to jointly raise the helpless victim girl Amuro Ruri.

Ruri suppressed the anger and anxiety she felt after being thrown to the police by the treacherous Bourbon, and went through high school and college step by step. After being admitted to the police academy and graduating, it was natural for her to join the police family that had accompanied her these past few years.

But although her identity has changed to everyone's colleague, the seniors still seem to regard her as their common daughter.

When she heard about the clues about bourbon overseas, she immediately applied to her boss for an outbound investigation and was approved. The seniors who used to shout "this kind of thing should be left to young people" were shocked. Uncharacteristically, he banged the table in protest.

It's a pity that the little girl usually looks so gentle and easy to talk to, but when she gets stubborn, even eight cows can't hold her back.

In the end, they really couldn't defeat their "daughter", so they had to settle for the second best and vote for Yuya Kazami, the best colleague, to protect their "daughter" when traveling on behalf of everyone.

At the age of 37, Mr. Yuya Kazami felt that the pressure on his shoulders was a bit too great when he was suddenly given high expectations by his colleagues and entrusted with important responsibilities.

Ruri also felt a little stressed.

Until she got on the plane, she kept urging: "It's too dangerous over there. Senior Kazama, you'd better go back. I'll explain it to everyone. You really don't have to accompany me - this kind of thing is not my fault." Just let us young people do it!"

Feng Jian Yuya pushed up his glasses, and he finally couldn't help asking the question he had been holding in his mind for a long time: "Why don't you call me uncle?"

Ruri:.

Ruri endured the humiliation and said: "...Uncle Yuya, please don't go with me."

Kazama felt comfortable now. He looked at the little girl in his eyes seriously, "You see, you call me uncle. How can I not follow you to protect you when you are going to the battlefield? Besides, I also have a mission to go this time. In this case, our habit is to work in pairs for this kind of mission."

What he said about going to the battlefield was not a metaphor.

They are about to go to a war country where a civil war has broken out and fighting is happening everywhere.

"Amuro, I've always been curious, why did you come here?" Among the noisy crowd at the open-air bar, someone sat down next to Bourbon and asked this question.

The deafening local music, people's crazy screams, and the clear roar of war not far away combine to create this absurd and vibrant loess world.

"Why..." He raised his eyes from the paralysis of alcohol and looked at the man who was talking to him casually. His purple-gray eyes were not focused, like a foggy sea - he was holding a beer bottle and looked at it. Smiling, "Long time no see, Rahman - I don't know why."

Rahman shook his head and pointedly said, "I think you don't look like those... naive and ignorant boys who grew up in a peaceful country and yearn for war, so they come to experience the battlefield."

Bourbon laughed.

This is not a peaceful Asia. In this hot, backward land, war is spreading everywhere.

Bourbon raised his head and took a sip of wine, "Are you an innocent and ignorant boy..." he murmured, "I have been smart for half my life, and suddenly I don't want to be smart anymore. And here it is very simple, there are only clear enemies and myself. People only have life or death in armed conflict when they meet with guns."

The man was stunned for a long time, "I don't understand."

"I mean, I'm just a naive and ignorant middle-aged man now." Bourbon raised the bottle, "Come on, drink."

The other party grinned and raised his wine bottle to clink glasses with him, "Here's to the great philosopher."

Bourbon also laughed with him, "Respect life and be free."

Rahman finished a bottle of beer, took a long breath, and started talking again, "Hey, Amuro, have you heard about it? It seems that Japan is going to send troops to come here to fish for people."

Bourbon glanced at him: "You mean the Self-Defense Forces? Impossible, that's not their style."

"Don't worry about the team, that's not the point." Rahman lowered his voice thiefly, "I want to tell you that they want to recruit a few mercenaries locally to help them recruit people, and they have already contacted our soft The Egg government has negotiated an agreement, and the remuneration is very generous. Those who can speak Mandarin or Japanese will be given priority - I remember Japan is your hometown, right? Are you interested?"

Bourbon finished his drink slowly and replied with a smile: "Not interested."

Before the cabin door opened, Yuya Kazama was still mumbling uneasily: "Our first priority is to rescue people, not to find Bourbon, whose arrest warrant has been revoked by the Japanese police. Do you understand that?"

Ruri patted her chest and assured her, "Don't worry, Kazama-senpai, I understand." At the same time, his face was smeared by the heat wave carrying sand and dust that rushed towards him after opening the cabin door.

Unlike Japan, which is beautiful, comfortable and prosperous, this is a country shrouded in loess and war and on the verge of fragmentation.Government troops and rebels are in constant conflict on this land, and the surviving people will face war and face death at any time.

When Ruri was staring at the hot loess world, Kazama whispered behind her: "Is the information wrong? How could Bourbon come to such a ghost place."

The diplomat who received them was a little old man with gray hair.

"Dear guests, thank you for coming all the way." The little old man said inarticulately, "Shall I take you to your accommodation to settle down first?"

"Let's not worry about that yet." Ruri said, "Is there any news about our citizens who were kidnapped by your country's resistance forces?"

The little old man put his hands to his ears: "Sorry, what did you say——"

Ruri: "I said - our people - do you have any news?"

Little old man: "Oh! The local mercenaries you need have gathered at your place of stay, so I will take you there first."

Ruri frowned and turned to ask Kazama: "Senior, do you think he did this on purpose?"

Kazama coughed dryly.

A weak government that does nothing is evident from the Tai Chi attitude of the people they send to contact them.

No wonder the anti-government armed forces dare to directly kidnap war reporters from foreign countries.

When she reluctantly followed him into the local jeep that was covered in yellow sand and riddled with bullet marks, Ruri sighed inwardly.

I hope that the brave reporter lady has not encountered any misfortune... Although judging from what she knows about the behavior of the anti-government armed forces in this country, the lady is probably in danger.

Rahman met his employer for this mission.

It was a beautiful woman with blond curly hair and sapphire blue eyes, who looked a little too young.

Rahman had seen her before, so he couldn't control his surprised expression. Fortunately, the mercenaries who were recruited together all showed surprise, so he did not appear abrupt.

That woman was the girl in the photo that Rahman's drinking buddy Amuro carried with him.

However, the photo Amuro carried with him was a few years old, and the child in the photo looked like he had grown a lot.

Usually when Amuro is half drunk, he will take out the photo and look at it. At that time, his expression will always become very soft. Rahman was secretly surprised when he saw it for the first time. After seeing it more often, he is not surprised. Weird.

He also tried to ask Amuro, "This child is so beautiful. Is she your sister? Or is she your daughter?"

Amuro smiled and said, "She is my goddess."

There seems to be no admission or denial.

"This is Miss Amuro." The little old man introduced to everyone.

Ruri had a serious face and nodded slightly.

Rahman’s epiphany!

She is indeed that guy's daughter!
