The Split-Actress in Conan's World

"He's still breathing, hurry up and send him to the hospital!!"

"Yes!"

Several FBI agents worked busily and quickly picked up Rena Mizuno, whose head was covered in blood, and sent her to the hospital.

(Tip: This is for plot purposes. If you encounter a car accident or a serious fall in real life, please remember not to touch the injured person at will, as this may cause secondary injuries. Be sure to wait for professionals to come and deal with it.)

Conan looked at this scene and felt relieved but his heart sank at the same time.

The FBI's choice was to fake a car accident, aborting the organization's action halfway and keeping Kil under their sight.

But in his opinion, this "car accident" was too deliberate, especially the last side leaning over the line. If the people arranged by the organization nearby saw it, they would immediately realize that this was a premeditated action.

And there was one thing that concerned him...

When she was forced off the road just now, Kil had a clear chance to land safely and escape. She was riding a motorcycle, which was much more flexible than a car. As long as she was determined to give up the mission and left from the edge of the river, it would be difficult for them to intercept her.

But at the last moment before jumping out of the lane, the front of the car shifted, and then the car lost control and she fell heavily to the ground.

Conan walked to the railing next to the driveway of Toriya Bridge, leaned against it and looked out.

A little boy who was already frightened by the accident was holding his ball, tears of shock still on his face.

For some reason, Conan suddenly recalled the look she gave the little boy who kept ringing the doorbell before she left Rena Mizunashi's house this morning.

Do members of the organization also have that kind of nostalgic look mixed with a little regret?

Conan pursed his lips, and suddenly an impulse arose in his heart.

He picked up his detective badge.

"Hey, Chiyo."

"what happened?"

"ask you a question."

"explain."

On the other side of the detective badge, Chiyoko's voice was a little breathless, as if she was doing something very physically demanding.

"What do you think justice is?"

"what?"

Chiyoko was a little confused. This kid asked such a boring question in such a serious tone at such a critical moment?

"Are you sick?"

What he didn't expect was that Conan said in a deep voice: "Yes, he is seriously ill."

"Chiyo, I thought a long time ago that I must be an upright person and uphold justice, but suddenly one day, I discovered something."

"I don't seem to know what justice is."

"I solved many cases and brought criminals to justice, leaving no place for crimes to hide. The sense of accomplishment of revealing the truth made me happy, and the praise from social media made me feel happy."

"Until Mr. Cheng Shi showed up."

His voice was dry.

"Do you think Mr. Chengshi is a bad person? He killed someone, so he is unforgivable?"

"Mashō's family was buried in the sea of ​​fire, and he was the only one who survived. He endured so much suffering for so many years, and even his original male body could not be restored..."

"Almost a year."

“It’s been almost a year since that incident.”

"But I always feel that the fire is still burning in front of me. It's so hot that it can melt me. I wonder, isn't Mr. Chengshi afraid?"

"He lit the fire himself and felt the heat of the flame up close, just like he was recalling what his family felt back then."

"I've been thinking about it for a year, but I can't figure it out."

"That group of unscrupulous bastards, for the little money from selling drugs, were willing to kill and burn people, and destroyed everything of a family so easily, and yet they were able to live so carefree in this world and enjoy themselves for several years."

"If Mr. Chengshi doesn't take action, can they continue to live like this? Or even if someone reveals everything, just like what Guishan Yong said back then, how many years can they be imprisoned?"

"Mr. Cheng Shi killed his enemy and closed the case with the name of 'suicide out of fear of crime'. The victim is gone, the murderer is gone, but where is justice?"

“I don’t understand, where is justice?”

“There is no justice either.”

"From the moment the tragedy occurred, from the moment sanctions were delayed, justice was not there."

"That's not justice, Chiyo. I've spent this year thinking a lot. I've reviewed so many cases, and I've also reviewed the cases that I solved in the past."

"In the densely packed file, I could only clearly see two words: Chiyo."

"It's order."

After Conan said this, he was silent for a long time.

Afterwards, he no longer used that heavy tone, but instead spoke with a hint of confusion.

"Chiyo, if that tragedy hadn't happened, and those guys hadn't been dealing drugs, but had been working honestly, wouldn't the Aso family have survived, and wouldn't Mr. Cheng's life have been different?"

"Or maybe, if Mr. Aso didn't have such firm principles and chose to go along with them, would everything be different?"

"They are obviously the upper class of an island, so why don't they feel satisfied?"

"Chiyo, people's hearts are so complicated."

He sighed and said no more.

Chiyoko was silent for a long time, feeling quite emotional.

"Conan, you have grown up."

"But what justice is, I cannot tell you."

“People’s hearts are indeed complicated, but sometimes they are also quite simple.”

"Great Detective, this world is huge, so open your eyes and go see for yourself. Ai and I will be behind you to support you."

Conan was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Why are you being so sentimental all of a sudden? That's weird."

"This is something."

Chiyoko didn't care and spoke in a natural tone.

"We are the closest partners in the world."

Conan was stunned.

"We took the same medicine, survived against the same odds, experienced the same pain, and faced the same threats."

"Only we know each other's deepest secrets, and only we understand each other's feelings of turning from adults into children."

"Kudo, we are a unique community facing the same fate."

Destiny...a community?

There was a surge of energy in Conan's heart, and an unprecedented firm belief bloomed again in his sky-blue pupils.

He has not yet realized justice.

But people's hearts...

I have some knowledge of it.

......

"Stop? Why?" Chianti looked at Kil being taken away by the FBI in the rearview mirror, feeling somewhat unwilling.

"Aren't we going to get Keel back?"

"Don't worry." Gin's voice was neither hurried nor slow, with a hint of smile in it.

But what is even deeper is the incomparable bloody murderous aura.

He played with the processed bug in his hand and looked at the message on his phone that Rum had just sent.

"The goal has changed."

"What?" Chianti was stunned. "What did it change to?"

Gin grinned.

"The location is Beika-cho 5-chome..."

He pronounced a cold name.

"Mori Detective Agency."
