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

Conan looked up at Haneda Hideyoshi, his face full of confusion: "But, there is one thing I don't understand, why didn't Hishinuma run away immediately but hide here?"

"This is because he had been waiting for the police to find the confession letter."

"Confession?"

"These are the confessions written by the four chess players regarding their cheating behavior."

"The four chess players you mentioned are..."

"They are the four players: Nishikido Koharu, Genda Yasukio, Kishimoto Yuhei, and Uekusa Kinji.

They placed a pen with a built-in small camera in their chest pocket, and then sent the game footage to their online helpers to search for the next trick.

When they meet in the bathroom or corridor, they tell each other the move and let the other win continuously.

Player Nishikido was promoted smoothly without revealing his whereabouts, but Player Uekusa went to the bathroom too often, which aroused the suspicion of the Shogi Federation and he was called in for a talk.

When he cried and sought a solution from the other three, he received a cold-blooded answer from them.

Kudo Yuki stroked his chin, "In other words, they let the Uekusa players abide by the rule of knowing but not telling and die."

Conan looked confused: "A rule about knowing but not telling?"

Haneda Hideyoshi smiled and explained: "The legs of the shogi board are actually made in the shape of gardenia fruit. Its purpose is to warn outsiders not to interrupt during the game and follow the rule of knowing but not speaking.

The four of them also made an agreement at the time that they would never tell the secret and would die to protect the others. Therefore, the Guess player was forced to choose suicide. "

Haneda Hideyoshi looked at Hishinuma Kosuke with a complicated expression, "Hihinuma felt that this matter was not simple. He found out the secret of the four people's cheating and learned the truth from the first player who was killed, Nishikido.

In order to avenge his good friend, the chess player Ueyo, he killed the three people and placed a chess board with a missing leg at each murder scene.

In fact, before I played blind chess with him, he told me all the truth. He also asked me to keep it a secret for him. He said that the player from Nishikido, who used such cheating methods to play fake chess, was not worthy of being a chess player at all.

By the way, he prepared that confession letter in order to pin all the blame on Kishimoto in order to exonerate himself.

The confession was written in Kishimoto's tone:

Several of us cheated and played fake chess. To atone for our sins, I killed two other chess players and then committed suicide. "

"But why haven't the police found the self-written letter yet?"

"Because I took the initiative and took the confession letter away. At that time, I already knew that the murderer of this serial murder case was the Hishinuma chess player.

So I guess that the fire at Kishimoto's house was probably also done by Hishinuma. He wanted to put the blame on others, making it seem like Kishimoto had set himself on fire at home, and before committing suicide, he went to the apartment and strangled Genda to death.

Therefore, the confession that can prove this statement is likely to be placed in the mailbox of the apartment. "

Conan thought to himself: "I remember that after Taiko Meijin left the apartment, he turned back. His expression seemed normal at the time. That must be when he took the confession away. Awesome, he really deserves to be called Taiko Meijin!"

Seeing that the case had been sorted out clearly, Shushu jumped back into Kudo Yuki's pocket. He adjusted his posture comfortably and continued to lie down.

Its two little paws nimbly grasped the pine nuts and started to crackle them. It looked extremely comfortable, as if the tense atmosphere of solving the case just now had nothing to do with it.

Akai Shuichi tied up Hishinuma Kosuke, then stood aside and chatted with Haneda Hideyoshi for a while, then took out his cell phone and made a call: "Hello, is this Cameron? I have something urgent to do. I need to drive a murderer to the police station."

He squatted down and checked the glass he had broken. "So I'd like to ask you to come over and help with some of the cleanup work. It's a broken piece of door and window glass, and a bullet that penetrated the wall. I'll leave it to you. Thank you, Cameron." After that, he stood up and hung up the phone.

Haneda Hideyoshi's face was full of worry. "By the way, brother, I want to ask mom, what's wrong? I don't know why, she hasn't answered my calls."

"You probably haven't told her that I'm still alive, right?"

"Ah."

"Don't worry, Hideyoshi. We will meet her sooner or later. After the haze of those guys dissipates and all the truth comes to light." Akai Shuichi reached out and patted Haneda Hideyoshi on the shoulder.

Kudo Yuki raised her eyes and said, "I hope that day will come sooner. By the way, let's hand Hishinuma Kosuke over to the police now!"

Akai Shuichi nodded slightly and glanced at the tied Hishinuma Kosuke, "Well, we can't delay any longer, let's go."

After saying that, he picked up the tied Hishinuma Kosuke and walked towards the car parked not far away. The siblings followed closely behind.

After placing Hishinuma Kosuke in the back seat of the car, Akai Shuichi quickly got into the driver's seat and started the car. The car sped along the road, raising a cloud of dust.

Kudo Yuki looked at the scenery outside the window that was constantly receding, her mind still immersed in the case that had just ended. She took out her cell phone from her pocket and swiped her finger across the screen.

After carefully checking the key recordings made by Shushu, she sent them to Ogino Ayami's email address. After doing all this, she opened the text message interface and typed a message to Sato Miwako:

Miwako, I have given the recording of the case to Ogino Ayami. The murderer will be brought to the Metropolitan Police Department. Please wait at the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department.

After sending the text message, she breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy stone had been lifted off her shoulders. At this moment, Conan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, pushed up his glasses, his little face full of curiosity: "Sister, when are you going to start recording?"

Kudo Yuki turned her head, the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Just when you weren't paying attention, little detective. I thought I should keep a hand in case I needed evidence, I didn't expect it to come in handy."

“I didn’t even notice.”

"There's so much you haven't discovered."

Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department. Akai Shuichi handed Hishinuma Kosuke to Kudo Yuki, and she held Hishinuma Kosuke's arm tightly with both hands. She saw Sato Miwako and Ogino Ayami waiting.

Sato Miwako walked up quickly and said, "Xiaoxue, we have all listened to the recording you made to Cai Shi. This time, it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for this key evidence, this case would not have been so easy to break through."

Ogino Ayami followed and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Xiaoxue, thank you so much."

"This is what I should do. The most important thing now is to bring the murderer to justice and let the truth come to light. His anesthesia is almost over."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hishinuma Kosuke woke up. He blinked in confusion at first, and when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, his face turned pale instantly.

Hishinuma Kosuke struggled a bit, trying to break free from the ropes, shouting, "Let me go! None of this is my fault!"

Miwako Sato stepped forward and said sternly, "You still don't repent even now! Your crime is proven, don't try to make excuses anymore."

Ogino Ayami was also a little angry: "For revenge, you hurt so many people, you must accept the punishment of the law!"

Kudo Yuki held onto Hishinuma Kosuke tightly, "Do you think you can get away with what you did?"

A trace of despair and regret flashed across Hishinuma Kosuke's eyes, but was quickly replaced by anger: "They deserve to die! They killed my friend, they don't deserve to live!"

Akai Shuichi was sitting in the car, and the others only heard his voice: "But your way of revenge is wrong. No one has the right to decide the life and death of others privately."

Conan also spoke up at this time: "Even if they are wrong, they should be judged by the law, not by your personal lynching."

Hishinuma Kosuke was silent for a moment, then finally lowered his head and stopped resisting, as if he had accepted his fate.

"Take him in and interrogate him thoroughly."

Several police officers came forward and took Hishinuma Kosuke away.

Miwako Sato broke the silence: "Well, this case has finally come to an end, and everyone has worked hard. Xiaoxue, Aimi and I have something else to do, so we'll leave you now." After that, she and Aimi Ogino turned and walked towards the Metropolitan Police Department building.

Kudo Yuki sent the information about Haneda Hideyoshi to Conan. Conan opened his phone and saw the information about the Haneda family, so he looked up at his sister.

Kudo Yuki just blinked and put her phone away. Seeing this, Conan quickly walked to her side and opened the file again. It read:

Hideyoshi Haneda's original name was Hideyoshi Akai. Later he was adopted by the Haneda family, so he changed his name to Hideyoshi Haneda. He was also the sworn brother of the talented shogi player Hiroshi Haneda.

He was obsessed with shogi, and after deciding to become a professional shogi player, he was sent to the wealthy Haneda family as an adopted son. The Haneda family hoped that he would realize Haneda Hiroshi's unfulfilled dream, and he was also a friend of the Akai family.

Conan read the information quickly, thinking about the connection between the information in his mind, "Haneda Hiroshi is indeed the son of a wealthy family."

Kudo Yuki smiled and tapped Conan's head gently: "Little detective, I have given you the information you wanted. Now it's time to go home."

Conan came back to his senses and rubbed his head, "I know, sister."

Then, the brother and sister opened the car door, got in, started the car, and left the Metropolitan Police Department.

Inside the car, the black cell phone that Kudo Yuki had put in her bag suddenly vibrated. She took out her cell phone and frowned slightly. When she saw the sender on the screen was Vermouth, she clicked on the text message and saw that it read:

Fine wine, this is the "surprise" that gentleman asked me to send you. I believe you will feel more at ease after seeing it. However, the video is encrypted.

You should be able to understand the current situation. You might as well consider a win-win deal, which is good for both you and me. - Vermouth: Absinthe

Kudo Yuki's face suddenly became serious. She switched to the email interface and found the video. Her fingers gently touched the screen, and she thought to herself: "What password would Karasuma Renya set?"

Conan noticed her strangeness, "Sister, what's wrong?"

Kudo Yuki took a deep breath, not wanting Conan to be dragged into this dangerous vortex, and tried to calm herself down. "Nothing, Conan, I'm just thinking about the password of a video."

But Conan was so smart, he looked at Kudo Yuki's hand tightly holding the phone, and his doubts grew, "Sister, please don't lie to me, has something serious happened?

Kudo Yuki turned her head and smiled meaningfully, "Conan, don't worry, we'll talk about it when we get home."

At this time, Shuichi Akai was driving the car attentively while observing Kudo Yuki's movements through the rearview mirror, secretly speculating in his heart.

Not long after, the three returned to the Kudo residence.

As soon as Kudo Yuki saw the Kudo couple, the calmness on her face collapsed instantly, and she threw herself into Yukiko's arms, "It will only take one minute."

Yukiko patted Kudo Yuki's back, her eyes full of doubt. Kudo Yusaku frowned, as if thinking about something. Conan and Akai Shuichi stood quietly by, and the air seemed to be frozen.

A minute later, Kudo Yuki slowly raised her head and returned to her previous state, "Father, Mother, I need to crack a video password. Let's talk after I finish watching the video."

Kudo Yuki took out her cell phone and the text message from Vermouth came into her sight again. Her thoughts were racing as she thought about the only thing that could make her feel a little relieved.

Several people gathered around and watched Kudo Yuki enter the password into her phone. The first time it was 'Gin to punish Rum', and the screen prompted that the password was only half correct.

Suddenly, she remembered what Zhu Fu Gao Ming said when he passed by her, so she boldly tried to input: 'Time is money, Gin to punish Rum'

As she pressed the confirmation button, the phone screen flashed slightly and the password was opened.

In the video, Gin had a grim look on his face, and he mercilessly swung the whip in his hand at the tied figure. The person being tortured groaned in pain, but his face could not be seen clearly.

Conan looked confused: "Sister, who is this person? Why was he punished by Gin?"

Kudo Yuki remained silent, her face solemn.

Kudo Yusaku seemed to be thinking about something. He recalled the password that Kudo Yuki had entered before and had a guess in his mind, "If I'm not mistaken, the person being punished should be Rum."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Akai Shuichi's eyes narrowed, "Rum? The second-in-command of the organization?"

Yukiko covered her mouth, "Why is it him?"

Kudo Yuki narrated the story: "This incident started when the old man asked me to go back to the brewery to organize a base to compete with Gin. At that time, he ordered me to get some intelligence.

After I met with Rum, he didn't mention the intelligence at all, but asked me about Gin's recent situation. I started recording before meeting him, and Rum thought I was going to divide his rights and was full of hostility towards me.

Finally, I gave the video to the old man, and he said that he would use the organization's rules to let Gin punish Rum himself. But I didn't expect that he would actually record the punishment process and send it to me to put my mind at ease. And the win-win deal of Vermouth, I am confused, what is that?"

As everyone listened to Kudo Yuki's story, the room fell into a brief silence, and everyone was thinking about the hidden meaning and possible consequences behind this series of events.

To be continued...
