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

"Sister, could the win-win deal that Vermouth mentioned be related to this video? Maybe she wants to get something from you, so she uses this video as a bargaining chip."

Akai Shuichi looked serious. "The appearance of this video may upset the balance within the winery organization and cause more changes."

Kudo Yusaku frowned, "Xiaoxue, you have to be extra careful during this period. I'm afraid the people from the organization will not let you go."

Yukiko looked at Kudo Yuki worriedly, "Xiaoxue, protect yourself."

"Don't worry, I will be careful. The first task now is to find out Belmode's intentions. She must have her own purpose in proposing this win-win deal.

As for the Haneda Hiroshi case, I always feel that there are still many unknown secrets."

At this time, Noah's Ark broke the specified rules and appeared, and the screen automatically entered the text:

Xiaoxue, I made an exception this time to remind you. I have seen all the videos just now. The guess in your mind may be correct. This may be rum.

However, you must be careful that no one mentions anything about him without sufficient evidence.

Kudo Yuki looked at the reminder of Noah's Ark, and her worries grew even worse. "It seems that we can only take things as they come."

Noah's Ark began to automatically input text again:

As for the win-win deal that Vermouth mentioned, she may mean that you should not hurt the person she cares about the most. Find an opportunity to talk to her alone. Remember to use hints as the main method to test her so as to get more of her true thoughts.

Kudo Yuki stroked her chin and thought: "My meeting with Vermouth is inevitable. But before that, I have to study this video carefully and find clues from it."

Conan blinked and suggested, "Sister, starting from the background of the video and the conversation between Gin and Rum, maybe we can find some clues."

Akai Shuichi pondered for a moment: "There is also the shooting angle and lighting of the video, maybe we can infer the location and time of the shooting."

Kudo Yusaku nodded and said, "Also, pay attention to whether there are any hidden symbols or special items in the video."

Several people sat together and watched the video.

The video played over and over again, and Conan pointed to a corner of the screen, "Look, there seems to be a strange mark here!"

Everyone's eyes were focused on the past, perhaps this was the key to solving the mystery.

Kudo Yuki leaned closer to the phone screen and observed the strange mark Conan was pointing at. "This looks like a special symbol within some organization, but I've never seen it before."

Shuichi Akai took out his phone and quickly took a picture of the mark. "I'll send it to the relevant technical staff to analyze it and see if there is anything they can find."

Kudo Yusaku crossed his arms and thought: "The location of this mark is very hidden. If you don't look for it deliberately, it will be easily overlooked. Maybe it hides important information."

Noah's Ark automatically input the text:

This mark may be related to Rum's identity.

Once you finish typing, it disappears.

Yukiko held the tea set with a gentle smile on her lips, "I'll go make tea." After she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Yukiko opened the cupboard and took out a can of exquisite tea. She sniffed the aroma of the tea and smiled with satisfaction.

Then she cleaned the teapot and teacups and put the tea leaves into the teapot.

At this moment, Akai Shuichi's cell phone rang. After he picked up the phone and hung up, his face became even more serious. "The technicians said they have never seen this mark before, and they need more time and information to analyze it."

Kudo Yuki pondered for a moment, "It seems that we can only start from other aspects. I will send a message to Vermouth first."

She took out her cell phone, edited a short and cryptic message and sent it to Vermouth, waiting for her reply.

Vermouth replied almost instantly:

Fine wine, to highlight my sincerity, I will tell you a little information, that pattern is indeed related to the identity of rum.

But I have never seen him. I only know that the title of Rum was inherited from his father. His father was a man close to "that adult" and had served him for many years. Rum inherited his father's title, which indicated his position and responsibility in the organization.

As for the pattern, there is no need to look it up. You can't find it. Don't doubt what I said. This is the most direct and convenient answer. - Vermouth: Absinthe

When Kudo Yuki saw this reply, her brows furrowed even more tightly. She secretly wondered whether Vermouth's words were true or not.

She looked at the screen of her mobile phone and slid her fingers gently, as if trying to dig out more clues from the short text.

Conan came over and looked at the text message. "Sister, can you trust what Vermouth said? It feels like she is deliberately hiding something."

Akai Shuichi's expression was serious. "This can also be considered a clue. We cannot miss any possibility."

Kudo Yusaku picked up the newspaper beside him and said, "Don't let her lead you by the nose. You need to stay alert. Vermouth's words are half true and half false. You need to carefully distinguish them."

"Father, I believe 60% of what Vermouth said, and time will tell whether the rest is right or wrong. I'd better start by investigating the people related to the Haneda Hiroshi case. Maybe I can get some results by investigating with someone else."

Kudo Yusaku nodded slightly: "Xiaoxue, your idea is very wise."

After a while, Yukiko came out with a tray with a pot of steaming tea and several exquisite teacups on it. She put the tray on the table. "Come, try my cooking."

Several of them held a cup of tea in their hands, took a few sips, and then continued to look for clues.

Kudo Yuki's phone rang again, and it was a message from Vermouth:

Fine wine, let me remind you that if you want to investigate rum, you can secretly collect information from the Haneda Hiroshi case. Don't get yourself involved in the end, I don't want to see that ending. - Vermouth: Absinthe

When Kudo Yuki saw this new information, doubt flashed in her eyes: "Why did Vermouth remind me like this? What is she planning?"

Conan gently stroked his chin, thinking: "Sister, is she trying to draw our attention to the Haneda Hiroshi case, and then take the opportunity to set a trap?"

Akai Shuichi narrowed his eyes: "It's possible, but the Haneda Hiroshi case is indeed the most direct clue related to Rum."

Kudo Yuki sat on the sofa and said, "Don't worry too much. Let's analyze the original data of the case first to see if we can find a new breakthrough point."

Everyone nodded, sat together and began to re-study the relevant information about the Haneda Hiroshi case.

Kudo Yuki briefly stated the clues: "At present, the information I know is that the Haneda Hiroshi case was Rum's failure. As for Asaka, I still haven't found her current identity. As for Rum, I have a suspect, but it remains to be confirmed whether it is him."

Kudo Yusaku flipped open a document and said, "Let's start with the photos of the crime scene and the investigation report to see if there is anything unusual. This person may be a breakthrough."

Several people looked and saw a picture of Amanda.

Conan picked up another photo and looked at it carefully. "The arrangement of the items around Amanda in this photo is a little strange, as if someone had deliberately messed them up."

Shuichi Akai pointed to a part of the investigation report and said, "It mentions that there are some doubts about the time of Amanda's death, which is slightly different from the initial speculation."

Kudo Yuki pondered: "It's possible. Let's look at other clues, such as Amanda's crime scene. Maybe we can find someone related to Rum or Asaka."

Several people were looking through photos of traces left at the crime scene involving Amanda.

Kudo Yuki's eyes suddenly lit up. She found a photo and a note from a pile of documents. The handwriting on the note looked a little sloppy:

Amanda's adopted daughter is Rachel Asaka, who is not only agile, but also has strong fighting and reasoning abilities.

Another photo clearly shows that Amanda's death is closely related to the winery organization, and Amanda bit her finger and left blood on the horse's left eye.

Kudo Yuki placed these findings in front of the group one by one. She gently tapped the photos with her fingers and analyzed, "Amanda's action of biting her finger should be a hint that the murderer's left eye is blind. This may be the key clue she left behind in her last moments of life."

Kudo Yusaku pushed up his glasses. "If Amanda's hint is accurate, then this undoubtedly narrows down the suspects for us. But more evidence is needed to support this speculation."

Conan frowned, "If the murderer can't see with his right eye, there are three people whose right eyes are blocked, but now is not the time to reveal the answer. Let's see if there is a more direct connection with the case."

Akai Shuichi put his hands in his pockets, "Yes, we can't easily draw conclusions based on this alone."

Kudo Yuki put the clue aside and said, "This is the most valuable clue at the moment. Let's slowly investigate in this direction in the future."

Conan smiled maliciously at this moment: "Sister, when are you going to tell everyone that you have a boyfriend?"

Kudo Yuki's face instantly turned red, "Conan, what are you planning to do?"

Conan chuckled, "Sister, don't hide it from everyone. I've seen you two together several times. It's hard not to notice the sweet look on your faces."

"Don't mind your own business, kid. Just focus on investigating the case!"

Conan crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking smug, "Sister, the more you act like this, the more it shows that you have something to hide."

Kudo Yuki looked at him with a smile, but that smile concealed a rage that was about to explode. Conan subconsciously covered his head and said, "Sister, I got it right. I want to lose my temper!"

Yukiko tried to smooth things over with a smile, and said with a gossipy look, "Okay, okay, Xiaoxue, since Conan has discovered it, you can tell us about it. Mother is also very curious."

Kudo Yuki sighed helplessly, "I really can't do anything about you. Actually there's nothing much to say, you've all seen that person, and you know him."

Kudo Yusaku put down the information in his hand and inquired with interest: "Oh? I really want to know who is the person who can make my daughter fall in love with him."

The rat, who had been hiding in the corner, poked out his little head, looked over here curiously with his round eyes, then ran to the side with his short legs to watch the show.

Akai Shuichi raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Could it be that Furuya Rei?"

"Yes, that's him."

Conan was laughing on the side, thinking: "Mr. Amuro and my sister, this combination is quite interesting."

Kudo Yusaku nodded slightly, as if thinking about something. "So it was him. He's a nice young man."

Yukiko clapped her hands, "Oh my, that's great! Xiaoxue, tell us about your love story."

Kudo Xue rolled her eyes at her and said, "Mother, there is no such thing as a romantic experience. We just got to know each other better while on a mission, and slowly..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, and she seemed a little embarrassed.

Conan narrowed his eyes into half-moon shapes: "Sister, Mr. Amuro usually looks cool, what will he be like when he's with you?"

"Humph, I won't tell you, little adult."

Akai Shuichi raised a faint smile, "Furugaya Rei is not easy to deal with. Can you subdue him?"

"What does it mean to surrender? We understand and support each other."

Yukiko approached Kudo Yuki and held her hand, "Xiaoxue, did he ever give you any special gifts?"

Kudo Yuki's face turned red again, "Oh, mother, please don't be so gossipy."

Rat, who had been quiet the whole time, dragged out a nut from somewhere, squatted aside and gnawed it with relish, listening to this interesting conversation.

Conan rolled his eyes and said, "Sister, where do you go on dates?"

Kudo Yuki shook her head helplessly, "Can you guys stop caring about this? Our dates are normal, sometimes we just have a meal together or take a walk."

Kudo Yusaku coughed lightly, "Alright, alright, stop teasing Xiaoxue. Since you are together, you must take care of each other and protect each other's identities. After all, your work is full of dangers."

"Father, I know."

Conan began to explore the little secrets of the two: "Sister, will Mr. Amuro come to our house often for meals in the future?"

Kudo Yuki gave Conan a slap on the head, "You have so many ideas. It depends on the situation."

Yukiko smiled and said, "If he comes, I will have to prepare a sumptuous meal."

Conan covered his head which was hit, "Sister, you only know how to bully me."

"Who made you ask so many questions?"

Shuichi Akai stroked his chin and thought, "Although Furuya Rei is quite capable, you still have to be extremely careful when you act in the organization."

"I see."

Yukiko blinked her eyes and said, "Xiaoxue, have you discussed the future?"

Kudo Yuki's face turned red again: "Mother, you are thinking too far ahead. Our first priority now is to complete the task, and we can talk about other things later."

"It's rare to see my sister being shy."

"You still said that!"

Kudo Yuki pretended to hit Conan again, and Conan quickly hid behind Kudo Yusaku: "Dad, save me!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing when watching the interaction between the two siblings.
