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

Just as Kudo Yusaku entered the Metropolitan Police Department, a moment later there was a sudden commotion at the gate of the Metropolitan Police Department.

A group of reporters and staff came in like a tide, carrying cameras and holding microphones, trying to capture first-hand news.

One of the reporters faced the camera and reported from the scene: "Dear viewers, just now, the world-renowned mystery novelist Yusaku Kudo entered the Metropolitan Police Department. Everyone is looking forward to what surprises this mystery master will bring."

As the reporter was talking, he suddenly turned his head and saw Kudo Yusaku walking out of the Metropolitan Police Department. He hurried over and almost tripped over the cables under his feet, but he didn't care about that and shouted anxiously.

"Teacher Kudo, Teacher Kudo you are amazing! You saw through it so quickly that it was the victim who made up the story and fabricated the Kaito Kidd operation."

Kudo Yusaku nodded slightly and turned to face the reporters and the camera. He was wearing a neat suit, with deep and wise eyes, as if he could see through all the mysteries in the world.

"No, no, I was just asked by a police friend to give the police some advice. This time, both the warning letter and the criminal method are too crude, and they don't seem to be from Kidd.

This morning the police arrested the museum owner for fraud, and I think he will confess. Because of poor management, he sold the jewelry and claimed that it was stolen by Kidd. He also insured the gems in an attempt to defraud the insurance money.

"So you came to the Metropolitan Police Department today to confirm this matter?"

"That's not the case. Today I was asked by another police officer to come and learn about another case."

"Another case?" The reporter's eyes lit up, as if he had smelled big news.

"This is a series of locked-room murders that occurred within the past month. The three victims have no connection in age or occupation, and the way they died was also different. The police are still unsure whether it was the same criminal who committed the crime."

"Is it the murder case that's causing all the fuss right now? Do you want to take part in the investigation as well?"

"I'm just here to offer advice." Kudo Yusaku smiled and stroked his cheek with one hand: "Alas, I deliberately reduced my work this time in order to return home to rest. Anyway, I'm free now."

"Then may I ask, do you think you can solve this case?"

"Of course, I have just asked the police about the ins and outs of the case and have seen the photos of the scene. On the way here, I have already figured out the modus operandi of the secret room."

Kudo Yusaku's words were like a bombshell, leaving a group of reporters and staff members with their mouths wide open in shock. They looked at each other, unable to believe their ears.

He paused, then murmured, "I don't know who the murderer is yet, but I will solve the mystery before the TV special this weekend."

The reporter came back to his senses, "You, you mean the TV special program..."

"Oh, don't you know? Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock, Dongdu TV will broadcast an emergency live broadcast, a program to reveal the serial locked room murder case. I will solve the mystery for everyone in the program.

I saw photos of the scene at the Metropolitan Police Department today, and I will tell you my reasoning on the show based on the information I learned."

The reporter was dumbfounded. "Other TV programs are really exciting."

Kudo Yusaku looked down at the microphone logo in the reporter's hand and said, "You are the staff of Nichimi TV. I'm so sorry. Well, I'll take my leave now."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to call a taxi.

The reporter trotted forward and said, "Teacher Kudo, I have one last question. You actually helped Kaito Kidd clear his suspicion this time. Do you have anything to say to Kidd?"

Kudo Yusaku stroked his chin and thought for a moment. "Well, if you feel like you owe me a favor, then remember to support my novels. Of course, you can also tell me your address and I'll be happy to send the books over."

After saying that, he smiled and got into the taxi.

The taxi started slowly and disappeared at the end of the street, leaving a group of reporters and staff there, their hearts full of anticipation for the show on Saturday night.

The sky was just getting light, and the rising sun was shining through the clouds on the mountain tops, making the morning glow look colorful.

It was quiet inside the secret weapons base.

The tired people just fell asleep in their respective bedrooms. In one bedroom, Kudo Yuki snuggled in Amuro Toru's arms, curled up like a lazy kitten.

Toru Amuro gently wrapped one arm around her, his face showing a look of tranquility after exhaustion, and his even breathing intertwined into a peaceful melody in the room.

Suddenly, Kudo Yuki's cell phone began to ring non-stop. She frowned and turned over reluctantly, not wanting to get up to answer the phone. She stretched out her hands, covered her ears tightly, trying to pretend that she didn't hear it and continued to sleep.

However, the cell phone continued to ring stubbornly, one after another, urging her to go back.

Toru Amuro was also awakened by the ringing sound. He opened his eyes slightly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Looking at the reluctant Kudo Yuki in his arms, he sighed softly, reached out to take Kudo Yuki's cell phone, wanting to see who was calling so persistently.

He was slightly startled by seeing Kudo Yukiko's number flashing on the screen. He gently patted Kudo Yuki's shoulder and said, "Xiaoxue, the phone keeps ringing. Do you want to answer it? Maybe there's something important."

Kudo Yuki still closed her eyes and shook her head, her voice full of sleepiness: "No, it must be nothing good, I want to sleep."

Amuro Toru smiled helplessly, looking at the stubborn Kudo Yuki, his heart full of doting. He put his phone aside, hugged Kudo Yuki tightly, trying to use his arms to bring her more sense of security, so that she could continue to immerse herself in dreams.

But the cell phone ringtone refused to be ignored, and after a while it rang again.

Amuro Toru frowned, picked up the phone again, looked at the flashing screen, and gently pushed Kudo Yuki, "Xiaoxue, this call keeps coming, maybe it's really urgent. Why don't you answer it, otherwise we can't rest well."

Kudo Yuki reluctantly opened her eyes, still bleary-eyed, and snatched the phone. Seeing that it was Kudo Yukiko's number, she pressed the answer button. "Hello? Is there something urgent that your mother called so early?"

"Xiaoxue, please hurry to Mihua Pharmacy around 3pm. I'll tell you in detail when we meet."

"What's so urgent? Can't you talk on the phone?"

"No, it's hard to explain over the phone. You must come." After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Kudo Yuki put down her phone and turned to look at Amuro Toru, her face full of grievance: "Look, I don't know what's so urgent about my mother."

Amuro Toru gently touched her head and said, "Since Auntie said so, then you should go and have a look. Maybe there is something really important."

Kudo Yuki shrank back into Amuro Toru's arms again: "But I'm so sleepy, I still want to sleep."

Amuro Toru smiled softly, hugged her and rocked her gently: "Sleep for a while, I'll wake you up when the time is about right."

Kudo Yuki gradually fell sleepy in Amuro Toru's arms. Her breathing became even and slow, and she fell asleep again.

Amuro Toru looked at the person in his arms, his eyes full of doting and tenderness. He looked at her quietly, his heart full of happiness.

Time passed slowly, and Amuro Toru woke up Kudo Yuki, "Xiaoxue, it's time to eat."

Kudo Yuki rubbed her eyes and sat up. "I slept quite comfortably. I was so busy last night that I went to bed too late. I finally wanted to sleep in, but my mother called me."

Amuro Toru helped her fix her hair. "Auntie must have something important to tell you, so she called so early. Get up quickly and eat something so you can have the energy to face what's next."

Kudo Yuki nodded, got up and began to wash and change clothes. She put on simple clothes, tied her hair into a ponytail, and put the mask and gray-black clothes into her bag.

Kudo Yuki walked out of the room and came to the living room.

Morobushi Keimitsu was sorting documents in the intelligence room, and Amuro Toru had already prepared lunch. Amuro Toru looked at her with a smile, "Come and eat, these are all your favorites."

Kudo Yuki sat at the table and ate slowly. Amuro Toru looked at her happily eating and said, "Eat slowly, don't rush. We still have a lot of things to do today."

Kudo Yuki nodded and chatted with Amuro Toru while eating lunch. They talked about what they might encounter today and how to plan for the evening.

It was not until 3: in the afternoon that Kudo Yuki kissed Amuro Toru gently on the cheek. Then she picked up the bag, and Shu Shu took the opportunity to get into the bag. She turned and walked out of the secret weapons base.

Kudo Yuki came to the Beihua Pharmacy and saw Conan chatting with Yukiko who was slightly disguised.

"Dad boasted in a TV interview that he would solve the case, but now he has a stomachache and is bedridden?"

"That's right, and Yusaku's health isn't getting any better at all."

Kudo Yuki stepped forward and asked, "Did father eat something wrong?"

When Yukiko saw her daughter, she began to tell the siblings what happened: "It's like this, there was a flyer for an Italian restaurant in the mailbox, and their food looked good. I went there with Yusaku last night, but he felt sick after eating."

Conan frowned: "Why don't you go to the hospital quickly?"

Yukiko, wearing a baseball cap and glasses, hesitated for a moment and said, "If he still doesn't get better tomorrow, I'll take him to the hospital."

"If it gets worse if you keep putting it off like this, I won't be responsible."

Kudo Yuki looked at Conan who was being stubborn and couldn't help but chuckle: "You, you are obviously very worried about your father, but you still have to pretend that you don't care."

Conan retorted stubbornly: "Who is worried about him? I just think that if you are sick, you should go to the hospital immediately and don't delay the treatment."

Yukiko shook her head helplessly, "Okay, okay, stop arguing, the two of you. The reason is that the TV station staff is coming over tonight."

Conan rolled his eyes: "Is it the people from the special program team? It's the serial locked room murder case revealing program he mentioned in the TV interview. Just refuse it directly. Dad is sick now."

Yukiko looked for medicine. "But the producer of that program was the first person to help your father adapt the novel into a TV series. It's hard to refuse. That's why I brought Shinichi with me and asked Xiaoxue to come over."

Kudo Yuki was puzzled: "Mother, you can disguise yourself as father, and then let Conan use a voice changer to help you speak, what else can I do?"

Yukiko stopped searching for medicine and looked at Kudo Yuki and explained, "Xiaoxue, the situation this time is more complicated. Although I can disguise myself as your father and Shinichi can use a voice changer to help him speak, there are still some details that require your assistance.

If anything unexpected happens, you can remind us in time. Besides, if it’s just me and Shinichi, who knows, someone might notice something.”

Kudo Yuki frowned slightly: "But is this really possible? If it is discovered, won't it have a bad impact on my father?"

Yukiko looked around and whispered, "Actually, Yusaku was planning to go to the Metropolitan Police Department at noon today to tell the police the truth. Who knew he would fall ill now?"

"So this is ah."

Conan looked at Yukiko, "Dad hasn't told you the truth about the case yet, so you called your sister here, wanting us to look at the case materials and uncover the truth to prepare for the special program, right?"

Yukiko made a check mark gesture: "Bingo! You are worthy of being my daughter and son. You guessed it right."

The siblings held their foreheads helplessly: "Got it."

Kudo Yuki asked: "By the way, when will the show staff come over?"

"The show starts at 8 o'clock. Since they still have to do some preparations, they will be here around 6 o'clock."

Conan looked at the watch on his wrist, "Only 4 hours left."

"It's okay, it's okay. You two siblings will definitely be able to untie it easily."

Conan put his hands in his pockets and complained: "You make it sound so easy."

"How could that be? Yusaku only took two or three minutes to solve it, and Xiaoxue will definitely know the answer in half an hour. As for you, Shinichi, an hour will be more than enough."

"well."

The three of them walked towards the checkout door. Kudo Yuki noticed someone was watching them. "Who's there? Come out!"

Conan and Yukiko also became alert immediately and looked in the direction where Kudo Yuki was looking, only to see a woman wearing a hat running away.

Conan ran to the place where the woman was just now, squatted down and carefully looked at the ground, trying to find some clues. Yukiko also looked around nervously, unconsciously tightening the bag in her hand.

Kudo Yuki frowned: "Who could that be? Why are they spying on us?"

Conan stood up and said, "I'm not sure, but I feel like they are up to no good. We have to be careful."

Yukiko took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Don't worry about her for now, let's go back and prepare for the evening show. If she shows up again, we'll find a way to deal with it."

The siblings nodded, and the three of them walked quickly towards the Kudo residence.
