Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

This night, the lights at Masahiko Sanada's house were on very late.

The next day, the five people received a thick stack of confidential documents from the Public Security Zero Unit of the National Police Department.

After signing, Masahiko Sanada looked at the vacation slip that had been approved by his superiors and dialed a phone number he had not contacted for a long time.

The day in April is like a lovelorn girl who is intoxicated in a sweet dream of love but wakes up from time to time. Sometimes the sun is shining brightly, and sometimes it is rainy.

Sanada Heitaro, who has always been at home between two o'clock and one line at a time, has been working overtime at the company for several consecutive nights and has not gone home even once in the past few days.

"Yayan is back and will go back to his old house for dinner tonight."

Heitaro Sanada, who rarely received a call from his wife, was shocked by the information contained in this short sentence. Then, before he could answer, the call was hung up without mercy.

The young assistant who was following Heitaro Sanada noticed that the president's expression was not right, and silently withdrew his plan to hand over the information and then make a report. He found an excuse and left the president's office.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Heitaro Sanada rarely got off work on time and walked out of the office building.

At 5:31, Heitaro Sanada, dressed in a crisp suit, arrived at the door of his old house, and then met his wife Yuki Sanada face to face.

Sanada Yuki only glanced at her husband faintly, and then walked towards the house.

The two entered the old house one after the other, leaving a gap of at least two people's width.

As soon as he entered the door, Sanada Yuki first said hello to Sanada Masayu who was sitting on the sofa, and then set his sights on Sanada Masahiko, who was wearing casual clothes but sitting upright.

"Uncle, aunt."

Sanada Masahiko noticed the two people coming in one after another, and immediately stood up and greeted them respectfully.

Heitaro Sanada, who came in behind, greeted his father and only nodded silently to his nephew's greetings. Then he sat on the corner of the sofa in the living room and listened to the conversation between his wife and nephew.

Masahiko Sanada joined STA after graduating from the police academy. After becoming one of them, he always excused himself from being busy with work and never came back.

Seeing her nephew, whom she hadn't seen for several years and now sitting on the police station, Yuki Sanada was happy in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on her face.

She listened to her nephew's experiences over the years, and occasionally spoke, her tone calm but full of concern.

Sanada Masahiko looked at his aunt who seemed to have changed little from before he left. A dreamlike flash appeared in his eyes, which made Masahiko Sanada, who was also paying attention to the conversation, look at her seriously.

After a while, Minako Sanada, who also learned that her son was back, appeared at the old house.

Seeing her much taller and stronger son, Sanada Minako couldn't help but feel happy. Of course, she showed it on her face without any concealment.

Now that everyone is here, it’s naturally time to start dinner.

When he learned that Sanada Masahiko was back, the cook at his old homestead specially cooked several of his favorite dishes.

After the meal, Sanada Masayu didn't stay long. He only asked his grandson to let him spend more time with him, and then let them go back to their respective homes.

After a simple farewell, Masahiko Sanada left the old house with his mother.

After returning home, Minako Sanada, who had always known her son's nature, looked at her son who was now taller than her and asked straight to the point:

"Why did you come back all the time this time?"

Sanada Masahiko looked at his mother and came up with an excuse for taking a vacation.

Sanada Minako snorted softly, knowing that this boy would not tell the truth to her.

Take a vacation, what a liar.

If there wasn't some important mission, how could your kid come back?

Sanada Masahiko listened to his mother's cold snort and knew that she would not believe his excuse. However, he did not want his mother to get involved in this matter at the moment.

Minako Sanada, who knew that her son was a top-notch virtuous man, did not continue to ask the reason. She simply changed the sheets and quilts in her son's room, said good night, and returned to her room.

Masahiko Sanada was the only one left in the bedroom that had been vacant for several years.

At night, Masahiko Sanada was lying on a bed that should be familiar but felt extremely strange, and he didn't sleep for a long time.

On the other side, Heitaro Sanada was in the same situation and didn't even dare to enter the bedroom.

After coming out of the old house, the couple who had been separated for more than ten years naturally parted ways.

Yuki Sanada answered the phone and drove straight back to the Kanagawa Police Headquarters. Heitaro Sanada, who couldn't even say goodbye, watched his wife leaving and got into the car alone.

When the driver asked whether he was going to the company or going home, Heitaro Sanada was silent for a long time, and finally asked the driver to drive the car back to the house where he usually lived.

On the second floor of the old house, Masayu Sanada stood in front of the window and watched his children and grandchildren leave. There was a hint of loneliness in his brows, and then he turned around and went back to his room.

By the time Heitaro Sanada returned to the house where he had lived alone for more than ten years, it was already dead of night.

After entering the house and washing up briefly, Heitaro Sanada put on his slippers and pajamas and stood at the door of the bedroom for about dozens of minutes. Then he was mentally prepared and opened the bedroom door.

The furnishings in the bedroom are no different from before. The housekeeper of the old house will arrange for staff to come and clean it every three days.

The only thing that is different from the past is that a large handful of carefully selected and somewhat gorgeous packaging is now sitting quietly on the pillow, and the cherry blossoms are still blooming brilliantly even after several days.

Heitaro Sanada stood at the door, looking at the bed that had begun to wither, and a thin layer of fallen cherry blossom bouquets spread on the pillow. His whole body seemed to be surrounded by huge fear, and veins popped out in the hand holding the doorknob.

In the end, he still didn't dare to take a step inside.

It wasn't until the door was closed again that Heitaro Sanada dared to take a deep breath. Cold sweat had already soaked his whole body.

The fear that remained in his eyes seemed as if what he had just faced was not a bouquet of cherry blossoms, but a devil that could devour people's hearts.

Five days ago,

Heitaro Sanada got off work from work as usual and took a special car driven by his own driver to return home.

According to past habits, wash hands, eat, then go to the study on the second floor to work, and finally fall asleep on time at 11pm.

He has lived like this for more than ten years.

Today, it should be the same.

But just when he finished washing and turned on the light in the bedroom, he suddenly discovered that someone had placed a bouquet of cherry blossoms on his bed at some point.

Originally, Heitaro Sanada thought that the new servant sent by the housekeeper did not understand his past rules and placed flowers on his bedroom bed without permission.

However, when he walked towards the bed with panic and anger, he saw large areas of lotus flowers printed on the wrapping paper wrapping the cherry blossom bouquet.

The straps used to tie the bouquets at the bottom are not the colorful ribbons commonly used in flower shops, but dazzling black ribbons.

Obviously, this is a bunch of cherry blossoms used for sacrifice.

At this moment, Heitaro Sanada seemed to have been hit hard from behind with a stick, his consciousness completely escaped in an instant, and the whole person seemed to be trapped in an endless cycle of nightmares.

It wasn't until a wisp of breeze outside the window woke him up that Heitaro Sanada regained some clarity, and then he rolled and crawled out of the bedroom on all fours.

That night, Heitaro Sanada sat slumped at the door of his bedroom and stayed awake all night. It wasn't until dawn the next day that the alarm on his cell phone rang. He got up from the ground, washed and changed clothes like a zombie, and went to the first floor to have breakfast.

From that day on, Heitaro Sanada continued to work overtime at the company until late at night, and then lived directly in the company.

Moreover, he also told the new servant assigned to him by the housekeeper to cook his daily meals and clean the whole house every three days not to enter his bedroom.

Until today, when his nephew Masahiko Sanada returned home from vacation, Heitaro Sanada returned here for the second time after the mysterious appearance of the cherry blossom bouquet.

However, he still didn't have the courage to face the ordinary cherry blossoms.

In fact, the first moment he noticed something strange about the cherry blossom bouquet, Heitaro Sanada knew exactly who sent it.

At home, the person who loved cherry blossoms the most was his second son Yasuyuki Sanada. After his second son died unexpectedly, there was only one person who would send cherry blossoms to him as a memorial bouquet.

"Crescent Pill..."

With a trembling voice, Heitaro Sanada whispered his eldest son's nickname, his tone sounding both concerned and guilty.

That night, Heitaro Sanada still didn't sleep all night.

Spring break is coming to an end,

In order not to miss the last beautiful moment of this year's cherry blossoms, with Conan's encouragement and the blessing of the European Emperor's power in Mao Lilan, Mouri Kogoro decisively decided to visit Kanagawa for his next trip to his friends.

Along with them, in addition to Conan and Xiaolan, there are also cutting-edge photographers from the country of Ying and his new assistants, Akai Shuichi and Yahea, who are wearing fake skins.

After his intelligence technician disappeared for two days, Akai Shuichi finally received the news from Kamel, and then traced the STA and the Neon Police.

After several days of wrangling, Akai Shuichi got his subordinates back from Kazami Yuya. Therefore, they did not appear in Kanagawa until today.

After getting off the Shinkansen, Mouri Kogoro happily took the 20% off single-person coupon for a top-class izakaya that his daughter had drawn in a lottery. He used the pretext of asking for information about the senior sister he was visiting this time, left the others, and left in the car alone.

Looking at Uncle Maori's excited steps and the figure disappearing at the Shinkansen exit like the wind, Conan, who was left behind, glanced at his childhood sweetheart Mao Lilan, who was looking embarrassed at Shuichi Akai and the others, and said "haha" in his heart. .

Asking for news? Haha, it’s obvious that I’m going to drink secretly.

Don't think he didn't see it. When Mouri Kogoro left, he subconsciously covered his pocket, but exposed a corner of the coupon.

Akai Shuichi and Haibara Ai had long known what kind of character this sometimes shrewd and sometimes confused famous detective Mouri Kogoro was, so they all looked away.

Only Yahea, it was his first time to deal with someone like Mouri Kogoro. Although he didn't know what was going on, he didn't show an expression that would make Maori Lan more embarrassed.

He just looked at Conan with a slight smile.

Feeling Yahea's gaze coming from behind, Conan turned his head and raised his head, smiled sheepishly, and then took out a coupon from his trouser pocket.

"Hey~ Isn't this a 20% off coupon for a single person at Mizama Izakaya?"

Mao Lilan recognized the coupon in Conan's hand. It was the only special prize coupon she drew at the Mihua Mall.

However, since it really has to be here, what did dad take away?

"It's a flyer."

Conan didn't show off too much and told the truth readily.

On the Shinkansen, he noticed the blue coupon protruding from the corner of Uncle Mori's pocket.

He was very aware of Mouri Kogoro's habit of drinking and drinking. When he took the 20% off coupon from Xiao Lan, he surmised that Uncle Mouri was probably looking for an excuse to go out drinking alone.

So, while Kogoro Mori was asleep, Conan secretly exchanged the coupons with a flyer of the same color and size that he had received before boarding the train.

As expected, as soon as Mouri Kogoro got off the Shinkansen, he couldn't wait to get rid of them and secretly go to an izakaya to drink.

"Don't worry, Uncle Maori has brought money. As long as he doesn't eat top-quality king crab and drinks top-quality sake, he can definitely afford it."

He left his daughter aside just to drink, so he should experience the feeling of spending money until his body hurts.

Seeing Mao Lilan's worried expression, Conan spoke decisively.

"Besides, the coupon is still there, so it can come in handy when the time comes."

You, Kudo Shinichi, will most likely receive a severe beating from your father-in-law.

Haiyuan Ai helped Conan comfort Mao Lilan, and then quietly cast a pity look at Conan. When Conan looked over, he looked away lightly.

After walking out of the Shinkansen exit, Akai Shuichi and the others rented a car according to their original plan, and then rushed to a hotel they had booked in advance.

This hotel is located in the business center, opposite and very close to the office building of Shohei Co., Ltd. run by Heitaro Sanada.

Open the curtains and you can see it.

Of course, the reason why they stayed in this hotel was because Xiaolan won a special coupon for this hotel.

It's just that the hotel room they are in now is not within the range of optional rooms provided by the coupon, but was booked privately by FBI personnel in Kanagawa.

Although Shuichi Akai delayed arriving in Kanagawa for several days, before that, he had already arranged for FBI personnel to pay close attention to the whereabouts of Heitaro Sanada and his family members.

According to the latest information from the newspaper, Heitaro Sanada suddenly and abnormally worked overtime until late at night six days ago and stayed overnight at the company. It was not until last night that he returned to his usual house after dinner at Sanada's old residence.

Through the eavesdropped phone calls of Heitaro Sanada, it was learned that Heitaro Sanada told his servants not to enter his bedroom. The FBI intelligence agent sent to Kanagawa believed that Heitaro Sanada's bedroom contained secrets.

Later, after investigation, no important secrets were found in Heitaro Sanada's bedroom, but a strange bouquet of cherry blossoms was found on the bed in the bedroom.

As a purebred Berry Countryman, this FBI agent did not have a deep understanding of neon culture. He just subconsciously felt something strange and took the photo.

However, when Mao Lilan and Conan saw the cherry blossom bouquet in the photo, they realized what was special about it.

White wrapping paper with lotus flowers printed on it, and a black ribbon wrapped around the tail, in neon, these things would only appear at funerals, or in front of tombstones for sweeping tombs.

Now that he appears in Heitaro Sanada's bedroom, it's obviously someone with bad intentions.
