Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World

The Polo Café was as busy as ever.

The moment Kudo Yuki walked out of the secret room, she heard Suzuki Sonoko's energetic voice: "Let's form a high school girl band."

Then came the voice of a strange woman: "Why is it so sudden?"

Suzuki Sonoko was very excited: "There was a high school girl band in the movie that was shown last night that was so cute."

At this time, Conan's familiar voice came over: "So, what instrument is Sonoko going to play?"

Suzuki Sonoko was excited: "Do I even need to ask? Of course it's the drums. The girl who plays the drums in the band looks a lot like me, she's really cool."

Mao Lilan hesitated: "Then I will be responsible..."

Before she could finish, Suzuki Sonoko suggested, "Lan has long straight black hair and should play the bass. The bassist in that band also has that hair style."

Kudo Yuki listened to the conversation between the four people, walked slowly to the chair in front of the bar and sat down, "Give me an order of pasta."

Amuro Toru handed over a bowl of noodles with a smile: "Xiaoxue, try the new dish I created for you."

Kudo Yuki smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll taste it carefully."

She started eating the dish with a happy and satisfied look on her face. Amuro Toru knew from Kudo Yuki's expression that she liked this dish very much.

So, he turned around and went to clean up the dishes at other tables without worry, and also told Enomoto Azusa: "Miss Azusa, could you please help me wipe the table?"

"Ok."

At this time, Suzuki Sonoko stood up excitedly after hearing Enomoto Azusa's voice, "We have a guitarist."

Azusa Enomoto looked at Suzuki Sonoko with a confused look on her face, not knowing what was going on. Suzuki Sonoko walked quickly to Azusa Enomoto and said, "There is also a girl named Azusa who is very good at playing guitar in that high school girl band."

Azusa Enomoto showed her signature smile, "But I've never even touched a musical instrument like a guitar, and I'm not a high school girl."

Suzuki Sonoko was not relenting, "You can't tell when she puts on the uniform, and Miss Azusa has a lolita face."

Azusa Enomoto was a little embarrassed, and Kudo Yuki coughed lightly: "Sonoko, don't embarrass Enomoto."

Suzuki Sonoko's eyes sparkled as she turned to Kudo Yuki: "Sister Yuki, can you play the bass? You will be able to do it soon with a little practice."

Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind Suzuki Sonoko: "Then try playing. I can lend you my guitar. I'll connect it to a portable speaker so you can play it directly. Take it."

Suzuki Sonoko turned her head and looked at the man sitting next to her, and it was a little difficult to speak: "Not good."

The man challenged: "Didn't you say that you could play it quickly with practice? If so, play it for me here, little sister."

Suzuki Sonoko then realized that it was because of her boasting that she was in a difficult situation now that she couldn't play. She could only bite the bullet and played a few notes with difficulty, but the man laughed at her: "What are you doing? You can't do it at all."

Another man laughed and echoed: "If you can't even play the guitar, stop bragging, you little high school girl."

Tears immediately hung in the corners of Suzuki Sonoko's eyes. Kudo Yuki looked at the two men who were laughing at others with indifference. Just as she was about to stand up, Amuro Toru quickly stepped forward to rescue her: "Borrow it for a moment."

Then he put the bass on his back and started playing. Kudo Yuki looked at the melody and movements of Amuro Toru playing the guitar, his eyes full of appreciation.

After Amuro Toru finished playing, he took down the bass and returned it to the man: "Okay, as long as these girls practice a little, this level won't be a problem."

The two men were stunned: "You are right."

Amuro Toru turned his head and whispered to Suzuki Sonoko: "Ms. Sonoko, you should be more careful with your words."

Suzuki Sonoko nodded obediently with tears in her eyes, and the two men walked out of the store.

Kudo Yuki poured two glasses of the latest drink and walked to Suzuki Sonoko, comforting her gently: "Sonoko, dry your tears and don't waste your time and energy on unworthy people and things. When you are unhappy, drinking something sweet will make you feel much better."

Yuanzi took the drink and drank it in big gulps: "Sister Xue, this is delicious."

"This cup can be considered as a kind of comfort for you after going through this incident."

Suzuki Sonoko looked at Amuro Toru who was wiping the table and said, "Mr. Amuro, why don't you join our band? A high school girl and a handsome guy are not bad."

Amuro Toru stopped what he was doing and smiled and refused: "I don't want to attract too much attention. But it's no problem for me to help watch you practice. I'm going to rent a recording studio later. Would you like to give it a try?"

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko decided to give it a try.

At this moment, the high school girl next to him looked at Amuro Toru and said, "Let me ask you, have you met me somewhere before?"

Toru Amuro responded calmly: "No, I think this is the first time we meet today."

Kudo Yuki looked at the girl who was speaking: "Who is this?"

Suzuki Sonoko immediately introduced: "Sister Xue, this is Mao Lilan's high school classmate, her name is Sera Masumi."

Then Suzuki Sonoko turned around and introduced: "Masumi, this is Kudo Shinichi's sister, Kudo Yuki."

Kudo Yuki looked at Sera Masumi carefully, "You have learned Jeet Kune Do, right? And your eyes are very similar to his."

Shira Masumi stood up directly: "Has Sister Xue seen my brother?"

"You should ask your brother to confirm this question!"

Sera Masumi looked at Kudo Yuki thoughtfully: "Okay."

At this time, Amuro Toru looked at Kudo Yuki with a smile, his eyes full of expectation: "Xiaoxue, how do you feel about the piece I just played?"

Kudo Yuki winked mischievously, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Toru's technique is really strong, that smooth fingering, and that devoted expression, it's really super cool.

And the melody is also very moving. I feel that your performance has a special charm that can make people immerse themselves in it unconsciously." When Toru Amuro heard Kudo Yuki's praise, a faint smile appeared on his face.

At this time, Conan pulled his sister's clothes and shook them: "Sister Xue, you should go too. I want to hear what instrument you can play."

Kudo Yuki looked at Conan's cute appearance and patted his head: "Okay, then sister will go with you."

So, the group walked towards the sound studio in a mighty manner. Along the way, Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran were full of anticipation and chattered about the songs that would be played later.

After arriving, Suzuki Sonoko looked at the scene in front of her and said with regret: "No way, every room is full?"

The bartender apologized: "I'm sorry, it's peak time now. If you're willing to wait for about an hour, there will be a room available."

Shira Masumi smiled, somewhat helplessly: "Maybe next time."

Mao Lilan was a little disappointed: "But we have already come here, it's really hard to go back like this."

Kudo Yuki whispered softly in Amuro Toru's ear: "Toru, look over there."

Toru Amuro turned his head and looked in the direction that Kudo Yuki pointed. It turned out to be the rest area of ​​the underground recording studio.

"Forget it, since we only have to wait for an hour, then let's wait. And there seems to be a rest area in the basement. As long as you rent instruments in advance, I can also play chords or single notes so that you can feel the atmosphere of the song."

After hearing this, Sera Masumi said with a hint of sarcasm, "It turns out that you are also an expert at playing the bass."

Amuro Toru just smiled and said, "Whether you can play better than your brother's friends, I can't guarantee that."

Mao Lilan looked at Suzuki Sonoko and asked, "Can you play drums?"

Suzuki Sonoko smiled confidently and raised her chin: "Of course, I am very good at playing drums." Then she struck a handsome pose, which caused everyone to laugh.

During the one hour of waiting, everyone was busy chatting or walking around, so the time passed quickly.

An hour later, the group finally arrived at the basement recording studio. Masumi Sera sat on a chair holding his guitar and began to tune the guitar.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko clapped their hands and praised, "This is what my brother's friend taught me, that's about all."

Amuro Toru leaned his hands on the table, "Do you still remember the man who taught you to play bass? What did he look like?"

Sera Masumi was slightly startled, then asked back: "I have a vague impression, but how do you know that friend is a man?"

Amuro Toru shrugged his shoulders, looking relaxed: "I vaguely guessed it."

Conan watched them curiously from the side, pondering their conversation in his heart.

Several women at another table not far away suddenly started arguing for some reason.

Kudo Yuki's eyes, as clear as lake water, narrowed slightly. She turned her head with a hint of doubt, and her eyes happened to see the bamboo flute next to her.

She gently picked up the bamboo flute, put it close to her lips and blew out a short melody. The melodious flute sound instantly filled the air.

Amuro Toru watched Kudo Yuki close her eyes and listened to the tune he played. "Xiaoxue, the tune you played makes me feel relaxed all over. All the fatigue is swept away."

When Kudo Yuki heard Amuro Toru's praise, she coughed lightly, and then whispered: "Okay, let's get back to the topic, and don't just get too intoxicated." After that, Kudo Yuki sat next to Amuro Toru.

Toru Amuro immediately regained his serious look and directly asked a key question: "If the song we are going to play is Miss Okino Yoko's song "Dandy Lion", who do you plan to sing the lead?"

He glanced at the three people in front of him. When the three heard this question, they were stunned and had blank expressions on their faces. Looking at the three of them, Kudo Yuki understood that they had never thought about this question.

Mao Lilan was a little surprised: "It should be Sonoko."

When Suzuki Sonoko heard this, she quickly waved her hands and said, "Oh, I can't do two things at the same time. I can't do two things at the same time. Sera, do you want to sing?"

Sera Masumi also smiled and quickly declined: "I, I think I'd better forget it."

Then, as if she had thought of something, she said, "Why not ask your boyfriend Shinichi to sing? If it's him, he should be able to play the guitar too."

When Mao Lilan heard this, her face flushed slightly and she felt a little shy: "Shinichi can play the violin, but I don't know if he can play the guitar. As for the singing voice..."

Sera Masumi couldn't wait to ask, "What's wrong with your voice?"

Mao Lilan glanced at Conan next to her, then smiled brightly: "She's on par with Conan."

In an instant, the five people's eyes fell on Conan at the same time. Conan's speechless little expression was particularly funny, which made Kudo Yuki laugh immediately.

She couldn't help but pursed her lips and chuckled: "It's okay to be tone-deaf. After all, no one can be perfect. It's cute to have some weaknesses."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard several women screaming from a distance. Sera Masumi immediately stood up and said, "It sounds like the screams should be from the band just now."

Kudo Yuki frowned slightly, with a worried tone: "It seems that there will be another murder here."

Toru Amuro pointed upwards and said, "It's coming from the recording studio upstairs." After saying that, Masumi Sera, Yuki Kudo, Toru Amuro and Conan quickly ran upstairs.

After running upstairs, Kudo Yuki looked at the frightened lady and asked, "Where did the scream just now come from?"

A woman trembled slightly and pointed forward: "The recording studio inside."

Kudo Yuki ran in first. At this moment, the panicked voice of the woman came from behind: "Wait, is this a dead person?"

Kudo Yuki walked over quickly and took a closer look: "This person was strangled to death, and there are obvious marks of strangulation."

Amuro Toru stared at the deceased's neck: "There are scratches on the neck."

The tall woman in the room was shocked and asked in a trembling voice, "Who strangled her?"

Conan turned his head and looked at the suspects: "I think we will know this soon." He pointed at the camera above, "Look, as long as we check the image of the monitor mounted on the ceiling, we may be able to find clues."

Everyone rushed to the monitoring room, but found that only half of the screen could see the image. Sera Masumi frowned: "Half of the screen is black, and it's impossible to see it at all. And it happens to be the position of the drum."

The woman wearing glasses came out to explain: "Well, it might be the back of the phone."

The tall woman then explained: “Because we will take pictures of ourselves while we are playing.”

The woman in the hat also added: "So, there's a selfie stick on the mic."

Amuro Toru said seriously: "I see, in this case."

"Even if someone did something next to the victim, there's no way of knowing." Kudo Yuki observed the layout of the room.

Then, she activated her true reproduction skill and found that one of the fingernails of the woman wearing glasses was broken.

She gently took Toru Amuro's hand and called Conan, "Toru, Conan, the woman with glasses named Kogure Liuhai, the length of her fingernails. Maybe it has something to do with the victim."
