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

"Hey!" When Toru Amuro saw what Yuya Kazami did, he was stunned and the ice water in his hand almost spilled out of the cup.

Yuya Kazami no longer cared about his image. He picked up the bucket of ice water and started gulping it down. The sound coming from his throat was like thunder. He only wanted to suppress the spicy taste as soon as possible.

After drinking a bucket of ice water, Feng Jianyuya kept coughing, leaning back in his chair, and spoke in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, I made you two laugh."

Amuro Toru shook his head helplessly, "Kazemi, you are really desperate for food."

"Mr. Kazami, the way you eat spicy food can become a unique landscape." Kudo Yuki joked with a smile.

Yuya Kazami scratched his head awkwardly, "I really didn't expect this super spicy curry to be so spicy. I must be careful next time."

At this time, the restaurant owner came over and asked, "Dear guest, how does my super spicy curry taste?"

Yuya Kazami's voice was hoarse, "Boss, it tastes great, but it's too spicy!"

The boss laughed heartily. "It's worth it to get such an evaluation from you. But you have to take it easy next time."

After paying the bill and walking out of the restaurant, Yuya Kazami's lips were still red, like two ripe peppers.

"Kazemi, if you walk on the street like this, people will think you have just been roasted by fire."

"Please stop making fun of me. I'm really upset."

The three of them sat on a park bench for a while, enjoying the night breeze, and the embarrassment and awkwardness just now gradually dissipated in the wind.

Kudo Yuki's phone suddenly vibrated. She took out her phone and saw the message on the screen, her face changed slightly. She glanced at Kazami Yuya, then handed the phone to Amuro Toru.

Fine wine, tomorrow morning, I will ask Vermouth to pick you up in Gunma Prefecture. The chessboard is ready, and I look forward to your move. - Old Man

Toru Amuro's eyes suddenly became solemn. He looked up at Kudo Yuki, asking her what her plans were with his eyes.

Kudo Yuki lowered her voice and said, "Let's see what he wants to do first."

Yuya Kazami noticed the strange atmosphere and was about to ask, but Toru Amuro took the lead and said, "Kazami, let's stop here today. You go back first."

Although Yuya Kazami was full of doubts, he still left.

Toru Amuro and Yuki Kudo were sitting on the bench.

"Xiaoxue, this is probably not a simple invitation. Karasuma Renya suddenly came to you, I'm afraid he has other plans."

"Since he has made his move, we can only play it by ear. But this time, we don't know what is hidden on the old man's chessboard."

"Remember, your own safety is the most important thing."

Amuro Toru and Kudo Yuki returned to the safe house, and Shushu jumped directly onto the table, "Xiaoxue, I smell a conspiracy. Tomorrow Shushu will follow you closely and record the whole process. If anyone has any bad ideas, Shushu will immediately put a bunch of talismans on them."

Kudo Yuki was amused by Shushu's words, "I hope tomorrow's chess game won't be the Hongmen Banquet."

Amuro Toru watched the conversation between the man and the mouse, pretending to be unaware and sitting in the seat closest to the mouse, "Xiaoxue, no matter what happens tomorrow, remember to send me a message."

"Okay, I'll contact you."

Shushu moved closer to Amuro Toru, thinking that Amuro Toru couldn't see it like everyone else, and looked arrogant like a little general.

He rolled his eyes and began to dig a hole for Kudo Yuki, "Xiaoxue, look, he's all yours now, don't you consider speeding up the process?"

Kudo Yuki rolled her eyes speechlessly and communicated telepathically: "Shu Shu, pour out the yellow waste in your little head. You have watched too many romance dramas!"

Toru Amuro heard what Kudo Yuki was saying in her mind, and it was so complete. He recalled that he had heard this kind of telepathic voice before, but it was very faint. This time he heard it directly, so he couldn't help but feel curious.

His eyes flickered quickly, and he pretended to be nonchalant and continued to watch the interaction in front of him. But his hands on his knees unconsciously clenched, revealing a trace of his inner turmoil.

Shushu looked pitiful, with his ears drooping. "Xiaoxue, what are you thinking about? I'm talking about speeding up the undercover process. It's only been a few days, and your thoughts are not pure."

Kudo Yuki coughed awkwardly, trying to change the subject and communicate telepathically: "Okay, okay, don't talk about this."

Shushu covered his mouth with his two little paws, laughing secretly, his body trembling because of the uncontrollable laughter. Kudo Yuki's original embarrassed expression disappeared in an instant.

"Shu Shu, you've learned how to set traps for me. Do you want to try 'Stir-fried Bamboo Shoots with Pork'?" Kudo Yuki deliberately frowned and acted fierce.

Shushu spread his two little paws and jumped to the ground, "Xiaoxue, what is that? What's the name of the dish?"

Meanwhile, Harrow was playing with a toy ball, which was rolling on the ground, making gurgling sounds.

The toy ball rolled towards Shushu's position. Just when Shushu was about to ask the result, the toy ball fell on Shushu's butt, and Shushu stumbled.

Kudo Xue smiled secretly and told Shushu telepathically: "This is the so-called 'Stir-fried Bamboo Shoots with Pork'. It's a good experience, isn't it?"

Shushu rubbed his sore butt and glared at Kudo Xue angrily, "Hmph, Xiaoxue, you're so mean. You actually made fun of me." His fur stood up like an angry little ball of fur.

Toru Amuro looked at the interesting interaction between the man and the mouse, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

Kudo Yuki smiled and shrugged, "Who told you to be naughty and always want to dig a hole for me?"

Haro ran over, wagging his tail, and happily circled around Kudo Yuki. He seemed to be proud of his "masterpiece" and made a barking sound.

Shushu waved his little paw at Harold, "It's all your fault, bad dog!"

Hello barked twice, as if responding to Shu Shu's accusation, and then continued to jump happily.

Amuro Toru looked at the lively scene in front of him, and his curiosity grew stronger. He stroked Haro's head and said, "Okay, it's time to go to bed."

Haro followed Amuro Toru to the bedroom obediently, looking back at Kudo Yuki from time to time. The farce finally came to an end, and the safe house returned to peace, with only the moonlight outside the window quietly falling on the ground.

After a night of silence, a new day arrives quietly.

Kudo Yuki put on gray-black clothes and a half-covered butterfly mask, and was sent by Amuro Toru to a location near the woods in Gunma Prefecture and then drove away.

Shushu took the opportunity to take out his head and waited for the moment to turn on the computer.

Kudo Yuki waited for a few minutes before Vermouth drove a yellow car and stopped in front of her.

"Fine wine, get in the car."

Kudo Yuki opened the car door and got in without saying a word.

Vermouth glanced at Kudo Yuki through the rearview mirror and smiled meaningfully. "Jiang, the last time you and Gin sparred was quite interesting. Recently, that gentleman asked Gin to punish Rum himself. You know why!"

Kudo Yuki raised an eyebrow, "Absinthe, what kind of information do you want to find out, or do you want to collect gossip about some people you don't like?"

Vermouth chuckled. "Fine Wine, you are still so sharp. I am just curious about that gentleman's mind. Gin and Rum, the entanglement between them may affect us."

As she spoke, she gently turned the steering wheel and the car turned a bend.

"Besides, knowing more inside information will be beneficial to our survival in the organization, right?" She looked at Kudo Yuki through the rearview mirror again, with a hint of temptation in her eyes.

Then, Vermouth sighed softly, "But if you don't want to tell me, forget it. Things in the organization are always complicated and difficult to understand anyway."

She looked at the road ahead and stopped talking, and the car fell into a brief silence.

"Absinthe, I don't want to get involved in these disputes in the organization. I only care about my mission."

Vermouth's lips curled up, "Fine wine, don't be so cold. In this organization, everyone has to rely on each other, and it never hurts to be well-informed."

The car continued to move forward, and the trees on both sides quickly retreated. "Jia Jiu, what do you think the gentleman wanted to gather us together for?"

"Won't you know when you see the old man? It's meaningless to speculate now."

"That's true, but we have to find something to talk about along the way, otherwise it will be so boring."

When she thought she couldn't get the information she wanted and couldn't secretly protect the three little guys, Kudo Yuki spoke up, "A chess game within a chess game, a chess game within a chess game, a two-way check and balance."

Vermouth's eyes narrowed slightly. "Fine Wine, you said a chess game within a chess game, a chess game within a chess game, a two-way check and balance. Does that mean that gentleman wants to use Gin's punishment on Rum to further control the balance of power within the organization?

Gin has always been that gentleman's sharp weapon, and it seems that rum has failed to do its job well more than once or twice. Is this time he is killing the chicken to scare the monkey to others?"

Kudo Yuki still looked out the window, "Absinthe, the organization is much deeper than you think. Gin's actions seem to be ordered by that gentleman, but how many people can see through Gin's own mind. Rum has a deep foundation in the organization for many years, will he be willing to be punished?"

"So what do you think Rum will do next?"

"Rum will either make a secret plan to minimize the impact of this punishment, or he will take advantage of the situation to fight back. But at the moment, he probably can't figure out the old man's true intentions."

Vermouth stepped on the brakes lightly and the car slowly stopped. "Fine Wine, according to what you said, the organization is going to stir up a big storm. So how should we deal with it?"

"Stay constant in the face of change, do your own thing, and don't get dragged into their fights."

"That's all we can do. But, Fine Wine, how much do you think that gentleman still trusts us?"

"In the eyes of the old man, we are all just pawns. Trust is something that can disappear at any time."

Vermouth's cell phone rang. After she answered the call, her face changed slightly. "Fine wine, that gentleman is already waiting. We have to speed up."

The car started and sped towards its destination.

When they arrived at a castle, Shushu started recording a video while looking at the castle. The two got out of the car and the bodyguard at the door opened the door for them.

The two walked into the castle and came to a spacious room. Karasuma Renye was wearing a helmet-mounted respirator, so his expression could not be seen clearly. He was sitting behind a wooden table with a chess board on it.

"You're here, fine wine."

Kudo Yuki nodded slightly and looked at the chessboard.

Karasuma Renya pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Take a seat, Jiayin. Let's chat while playing chess today."

Kudo Yuki sat down as she was told, and Karasuma Renya looked at Vermouth, "Absinthe, you sit aside and watch the battle."

Vermouth bowed slightly and sat aside.

The game started, and Karasuma Renya made the first move. "Jia Jiu, in the video you sent me, Rum dared to disobey my orders and asked Gin for information without permission. What do you think of this?"

Kudo Yuki followed suit and said, "I am just reporting what I saw truthfully. As for how to deal with it, it is entirely up to you, old man, to decide."

"So in this game of chess, how do you think we should deal with Rum's disobedience?"

Kudo Yuki thought for a moment and made a move, "I choose to remain neutral, but if I can't stand it, I can destroy the other party's nest."

Karasuma Renya laughed, "Interesting, interesting!" He continued, "Jiang, in this organization, it's not that easy to overturn anyone's lair."

Kudo Yuki's expression remained unchanged, and she also placed a move, "Old man, until the situation becomes clear, remaining neutral is the safest option."

As the chess pieces continued to fall, the situation on the chessboard became more and more complicated. Karasuma Renya frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he made another move. "Jiang, how do you think Gin will react to this?"

"Gin is a man of deep thoughts. He might observe in secret and wait for the right opportunity. But if Rum's actions threaten the interests of the organization, he will not sit idly by."

"Well, that analysis does make some sense. So what do you think I should do with Rum?"

Kudo Yuki made another move, "Old man, this depends on your tolerance for Rum and his subsequent performance. However, according to the rules of the organization, there is always a price to pay for disobeying orders."

There was a gleam in Karasuma Renya's eyes, "Fine wine, you are quite direct in saying that."

Wuwan Lianye said, "Jiang, in your opinion, is there any other force behind Rum's actions?"

Kudo Yuki pondered for a moment and made a cautious move, "I can't rule out this possibility, but there is insufficient evidence at the moment, so it's hard to draw a conclusion."

At this time, the situation on the chessboard became more and more stalemate. Karasuma Renya stared at the chessboard closely, "Jiang, you have a very clear mind."

"Thank you for the compliment, old man. I am just trying my best to cope with it."

Karasuma Renya suddenly laughed: "But this situation is not favorable to me."

“Playing chess is like a changing situation. It is hard to tell who will win until the end.”

A fierce look flashed across Karasuma Renye's eyes, and he sped up his moves: "Then let's wait and see what the final result is."

The only sound in the room was the sound of chess pieces colliding with the chessboard, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Karasuma Renye stopped what he was doing and sighed, "Jia Jiu, you win this round."

"Thank you, old man, for letting me."

Karasuma Renya waved his hand: "Never mind, your opinion has given me some ideas."

Vermouth had been watching the fight quietly at the side, with a complicated expression on her face.

"Absinthe, send the fine wine back."

Kudo Yuki stood up and left the room with Vermouth.
