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

Kudo Yuki walked into the hall, attracting everyone's attention. Conan stared at Hattori Heiji and said, "I said the date."

Hattori Heiji was lost in his own thoughts at the moment: "Why did today have to be......"

Amuro Toru suddenly leaned close to Hattori Heiji's ear and whispered, "It's Friday the 13th, don't you think it's inappropriate?"

Conan stood aside calmly with his hands folded in front of his chest, a barely perceptible smile on his lips, as if he was enjoying a wonderful performance. Hattori Heiji was startled by the sudden voice and his body trembled violently.

Toru Amuro stood up straight, holding two cups of iced coffee steadily in his hands, with a calm smile on his face: "Speaking of which, there are many reasons why people think this day is unlucky. The most common one is because of the last supper of Jesus Christ, when there were thirteen people participating.

Thirteen doesn’t fit the twelve-base system, and it feels like an incomplete number. Plus, Christ was crucified on a Friday. Oh, and I remember that the day President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas was also a Friday.”

Hattori Heiji heard this and sweat beads appeared on his forehead, with a look of helplessness and shame on his face. Amuro Toru slowly put a cup of iced coffee on the table, making a crisp sound: "But, people born in this country don't have to mind such things."

Then, he slowly placed another drink on the table. "It's just that the thirteenth day from the beginning of the month happens to be Friday, that's all. According to probability, it may happen twice a year."

Amuro Toru always had his signature professional smile on his face. "I think you don't need to care about this. It's also good to tell your loved one your feelings. After all, the date of death of Jesus Christ and President Kennedy was not the 13th."

Conan blinked and asked, "How did Mr. Amuro confess his love to his elder sister?"

Just as Toru Amuro was about to answer, Yuki Kudo walked up behind him and whispered with a smile, "What gossip are you three talking about?"

Conan saw his elder sister and turned around smartly, and hurriedly explained: "Sister Xue, we were just talking about Hattori Heiji's confession."

Kudo Yuki nodded slightly and expressed her own opinion: "Speaking of confession, as long as the atmosphere is right and the other person is impressed, that's enough. Toru's confession was very good, but there was a little surprise in the middle.

When choosing a date to confess your love, you don’t need to care about the labels others have given to the date. It’s good enough to convey your feelings to the other person.”

Kudo Yuki's eyes flashed with curiosity, and she took the opportunity to ask a question: "By the way, isn't today the 13th? Is there any history worth remembering?"

The guest sitting next to him put down his coffee cup when he heard this: “On Friday the 13th in history, October 1307, 10, Philip IV ordered the unconditional arrest of members of the Knights Templar in France, and tortured and burned them at the stake on false charges.

On Friday, June 1483, 6, the infamous Richard III was executed by his advisers suspected of rebellion.

It is said that Julius Caesar of ancient Rome was betrayed and killed by Brutus, and it happened to be Friday the 13th. And today is the day of Buddha’s death, so according to local customs, it is best to avoid it.”

After the guest finished speaking, he realized that the four people were looking at him intently. He was stunned for a moment, picked up the coffee cup awkwardly, and took a sip: "Excuse me, I overheard your conversation and couldn't help but want to make a joke."

Conan turned his head and asked Amuro Toru quietly: "Is that person a regular customer?"

Amuro Toru also lowered his voice: "No, this is the first time I've seen him too. He came into the store not long after you guys arrived."

Kudo Yuki narrowed her eyes into a crescent shape, looking at the guest with scrutiny, "Ah, you are really knowledgeable. Your past experiences may have made you who you are today. I hope your future path will remain as firm as ever."

At this time, a customer with a slightly anxious look hurried into the store and looked around: "Have all of them not arrived yet? I can't stand them."

Amuro Toru looked at the guest with a smile, his eyes showing politeness and gentleness: "Sir, are you from the Mika University Drama Club who made the reservation? The others haven't arrived yet."

The guest scratched his head, walked into his seat with a bit of helplessness, and muttered: "We agreed to celebrate Xiao Wei's birthday here today. Forget it, when they arrive, help me tell them to start first."

Azusa Enomoto smiled and nodded in agreement, her attitude was friendly and enthusiastic. The guest opened the door of the bathroom and said, "Because I haven't felt well since noon."

Azusa Enomoto exchanged a few polite words with the guest, then turned around to continue to receive other guests. Kudo Yuki sat next to Conan, picked up her phone, and gently patted Conan on the shoulder: "Study for a while."

Toru Amuro took off the reservation sign on the table and went to prepare the necessary materials with quick movements.

Kudo Yuki touched Noah's Ark on her phone, and dense text and dialog boxes instantly appeared on the screen. She entered a simple command and got the answer she wanted a few seconds later.

Not long after, Hattori Heiji and Conan were concentrating on listening to the conversation of the people next to them. Anqi Norihiro's voice suddenly became louder, successfully attracting the attention of Kudo Yuki: "Because the former president said that if we are going to make the scenery, we have to make it exactly the same, so we also measured the size of the table and the height of the chairs and so on."

As Anqi Dianwu spoke, he asked Amuro Toru who was walking beside him for confirmation: "Mr. Clerk, is this correct?"

Amuro Toru still had that signature professional smile on his face, and said with a little apology, "I'm sorry, I didn't work here at that time, so I don't know."

Amuro Toru turned his head and looked at Enomoto Azusa, "Miss Azusa, do you remember this?"

"Yes, I remember being asked a lot of questions like how to receive guests and how to serve food."

Anqi Dianwu patted Nagatsuka Minoru's shoulder and said cheerfully, "Please sit down first and watch Xiaowei's birthday video together. You should have finished filming yours as well."

"Well, I just sent it to your laptop, but why hasn't Daji arrived yet?"

An Qi Dianwu took out a notebook from his computer bag and frowned slightly: "That guy is in the bathroom now."

Anqi Norihiro looked at Conan, Kudo Yuki and Hattori Heiji who were sitting opposite him, with an apologetic look on his face: "It may be a bit noisy, please forgive me."

An Qi Dianwu opened the notebook and pressed the power button, but there was no response: "Why can't it be turned on? Is it out of power?"

Anqi Dianwu looked at Enomoto Azusa with a look of help in his eyes: "Miss, can you lend me an outlet?"

Azusa Enomoto hurriedly handed the socket to Anzai Norihiro. The moment the plug was inserted into the socket, the Poirot Café was instantly plunged into darkness and the power went out.

Amuro Toru looked serious and urged in an urgent tone: "Miss Xiaozi, please turn on the power switch."

Kudo Yuki quickly picked up her cell phone and turned on the flashlight, then walked steadily to the power switch and held her cell phone high to illuminate Enomoto Azusa.

Suddenly, the man's heart-wrenching scream was heard, which was particularly terrifying in this small space. Amuro Toru frowned tightly, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing faintly: "Miss Xiaozi, hurry up."

Azusa Enomoto took a deep breath and pulled the main switch hard, and the lights in the house came on instantly.

Amuro Toru's pupils suddenly shrank, and he saw Anqi Dianwu lying motionless in front of him, his life or death uncertain. At this time, Daiji Mingfu opened the door of the bathroom, with a confused look on his face: "Hey, what happened?"

Kudo Yuki frowned slightly, her eyes full of vigilance. Yamashita Yui ran over in panic, but was stopped decisively by Conan: "Don't touch him."

Hattori Heiji strode forward and squatted down, his expression solemn: "This is a murder case, you must not touch anything and destroy the scene."

Kudo Yuki keenly noticed that Anqi Dianwu's eyebrows moved, and turned to look at Enomoto Azusa: "Enomoto, he can still be saved, call the police and an ambulance immediately."

Amuro Toru also came closer to observe carefully, his expression slightly relieved: "It looks like an attempted murder case."

Hattori Heiji looked at Anzai Norio gasping for breath, still in shock: "I thought he would die on the spot after being stabbed by such a long sashimi knife. But I don't think it's necessary to call the police. When this guy was stabbed, blood splattered on my cheek." As he said that, he wiped his cheek with his hand.

Conan took off his glasses and checked, and sure enough, there was blood on the lenses: "There's blood on my glasses too."

Hattori Heiji then analyzed: "So the hands and cuffs of the criminal who committed the crime must have been stained with the blood splattered by this guy."

After a while, Hattori Heiji looked at the three suspects, his face full of confusion: "No way, why is there no blood on anyone?"

Conan was also a little surprised, his eyes full of thought. Amuro Toru noticed that the guest wearing a hat behind him was trying to leave the scene quietly, and immediately said: "The gentleman over there who wants to leave the scene quietly, can you please also extend your hand so that we can see it?"

The guest stretched out his hand in a panic and explained: "I don't want to leave here secretly."

Hattori Heiji held his forehead helplessly, feeling frustrated: "This guy's hands aren't stained with blood. Really, why is it always like this?"

Conan looked at Hattori Heiji speechlessly. Kudo Yuki coughed lightly, and her voice was clear and calm: "Before the truth comes out, keep silent and look for clues. Remember, haste makes waste."

After hearing this, Hattori Heiji nodded thoughtfully: "Thank you for your guidance."

Afterwards, Hattori Heiji took out his cell phone and called Toyama Kazuha, with a slightly apologetic tone, and asked her to go somewhere else first, successfully sending Toyama Kazuha away.

Not long after, the sound of ambulance sirens came from far away, and the paramedics quickly arrived, lifted Anqi Dianwu onto a stretcher, and sent him to the hospital.

The police car also arrived at the Poirot Cafe. Officer Megure looked serious and initially understood the situation: "Someone has tied a thin wire to the power plug of the victim, Mr. Anqi Dewu's laptop.

So when the victim plugged the plug into the socket, it caused a short circuit and the coffee shop lost power, and then someone in the store took advantage of the darkness and stabbed the victim. "

Officer Takagi walked quickly to Officer Megure and reported to him seriously: "The three companions of the victim who were in the store at the time, as well as the hands and cuffs of other customers, did not have any blood stains.

Of course, there was no blood on the hands of Conan, Hattori, the store manager Ms. Kudo, the clerk Mr. Amuro, and Ms. Kozuki, who were also in the store at the time.

However, clearly, Hattori and Conan's faces were stained with blood, and the table where they were seated was also stained with the victim's blood."

Officer Megure bent down and looked carefully at the notebook on the table, his expression solemn: "The victim usually carries this laptop with him?"

Yamashita Wei quickly answered, looking a little nervous: "Yes, I usually put it in that backpack."

Nagatsuka added: "But he often puts it in random places like the club office, so anyone should be able to tamper with it."

Daiji Mingfu quickly agreed: "After all, that guy has too many enemies."

This sentence made Officer Megure and Officer Takagi look at the three people with puzzlement.

Nagatsuka sighed helplessly and replied, "He often gets into trouble with others because he touches other people's girlfriends."

Daizumi Akefu continued, with a hint of anger on his face: "In fact, he has flirted with my girlfriend Xiao Wei more than once."

Yamashita Yui turned to look at Daizumi Akefu, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "I told you it was because we were childhood friends, we were just joking."

Daizumi Akifu continued his narration with a frown on his face. “That guy’s father is a congressman, so I heard that he often helps him to settle things privately, clean up his messes, and clear up his messes.”

Officer Takagi had a serious expression and asked, "I heard that the victim was sitting in this position before the power outage. I wonder where you were sitting at the time?"

After these words came out, the three of them were slightly surprised. Yamashita Wei was the first to speak, and while pointing out, he said, "I was sitting on the sofa opposite him."

Nagatsuka Minoru then pointed to the seat and said, "As for me, I will sit in the chair next to Anqi."

"Where is Mr. Ozumi?" Officer Takagi asked.

Daiji Mingfu explained: "Although I arrived earlier than everyone else, I stayed in the bathroom after putting my bag on the sofa because I have been feeling uncomfortable in my stomach since noon today." After saying that, he pretended to touch his stomach with a painful expression on his face.

Officer Megure stared at Daizumi Akesuke with a look of suspicion and disbelief: "You are the only one who can wash off the blood stains even if they are stained."

Daizumi Akesuke looked displeased and retorted excitedly, "If you doubt me, then investigate. Isn't there something called a reaction that can't be washed off with just water?"

Amuro Toru took the opportunity to step forward and answered the question with a smile: "Luminol is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound. If it is mixed with hydrogen peroxide and sprayed, it can cause the area stained with blood to emit a bluish-white light. Although I think even if we investigate Mr. Daizumi, there should be no luminol reaction."

Toru Amuro looked up at the camera, paused and said: "Because I am a little concerned, so I checked the surveillance footage before the police arrived." His eyes were firm and confident.

Amuro Toru continued: "He was the first to arrive at the Poirot shop, and he went into the restroom and never came out, followed by Mr. Anqi and Ms. Yamashita, and finally Mr. Nagatsuka arrived a little later.

Then when the three of them were about to watch the birthday video on their laptops, there was a power outage. The bathroom door was never opened until the recording was stopped due to the power outage, so I don’t think he knew who was sitting where.

Kudo Yuki looked at Amuro Toru's actions and complained in her heart: "Zero is acting as a guide again." But her face remained calm and she continued to observe the situation on the scene.

To be continued...
