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

Chapter 235: The Secret of the Rat Shadow: The Disguise and Flaws of Rum Iroha Sushi Restaurant

As soon as she finished speaking, Kudo Yuki's eyelids began to twitch uncontrollably, and her bright eyes seemed to be covered by a thin layer of tired fog.

Amuro Toru's eyes were fixed on Kudo Yuki, and he immediately noticed her tiredness. He walked to Kudo Yuki's side and whispered softly, "Are you tired? How about taking a rest first?"

Kudo Yuki seemed to have found a warm harbor. She leaned her head on Amuro Toru's shoulder with a reassured smile on her face.

Toru Amuro gently reached out and put his arm around Kudo Yuki's shoulders. He adjusted his position so that Kudo Yuki could lean against him more comfortably.

After a while, everyone in the study gradually came back to their senses from the joyful atmosphere. When they saw the warm scene between Amuro Toru and Kudo Yuki, they couldn't help but show surprise.

Cameron's eyes widened instantly, his face full of disbelief. He was about to ask something, but was stopped by Akai Shuichi's sharp eyes.

Shuichi Akai shook his head. Although the action was small, it was full of warning, indicating Cameron not to say too much.

Conan seemed very calm, as if he was used to it. He gestured to everyone to keep quiet, then pointed at Amuro Toru and Kudo Yuki, signaling everyone not to disturb them.

The Kudo couple looked at each other. They were filled with joy that Kudo Yuki could find such a reliable person.

Toru Amuro bent down and held Kudo Yuki in his arms, afraid that he would accidentally wake up the person in his arms.

He walked slowly towards Kudo Yuki's room. Amuro Toru gently placed her on the soft bed and tucked in the quilt for her. Then, he sat on a chair and stared at Kudo Yuki's sleeping face.

After an unknown amount of time, Amuro Toru finally stood up from his chair. He leaned over and gave Kudo Yuki a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Then, leave the room.

When Toru Amuro returned to the study room, everyone's eyes were instantly focused on him again. Toru Amuro showed a faint smile on his face, "Let Xiaoxue have a good sleep."

Everyone understood what he meant and stopped asking questions.

Shushu poked his little head out of the bag, his round eyes rolling around, his little head slightly tilted forward, his ears standing straight up, eavesdropping on Amuro Toru's conversation.

Its chubby little paws were clinging tightly to the edge of the sofa. Amuro Toru was sitting on the sofa, discussing with Morobushi Keimitsu on his cell phone.

"Hiro, the information that Xiaoxue revealed during this operation is extremely crucial. You must sort out this information, especially the part about Rum. Analyze it as soon as possible and see if you can dig out more clues about Rum."

"Don't worry, I will handle it as quickly as possible."

Amuro Toru frowned slightly and continued to murmur: "Also, this incident is likely to cause more trouble. We must always remain vigilant."

After the two exchanged some details, Toru Amuro was ready to hang up the phone.

At this moment, his eyes inadvertently swept across the back of the sofa, and he saw Shu Shu who was eavesdropping at a glance.

Toru Amuro's eyes paused slightly, and he felt a little funny in his heart, but it only stayed for a few seconds, then pretended that he saw nothing and continued to assign tasks to his subordinate Yuya Kazami.

"Kazemi, the brewery organization killed seven FBI agents this time, and passers-by saw the bodies. This is a very tricky matter, and you must find a way to keep it a secret from the passers-by who saw it.

Although passers-by don't know the details, we must prevent the winery from investigating the matter. We must do a good job of cleaning up the mess, and remember, we must not kill anyone. "

"Understood, Mr. Fūya, I will handle it properly."

After hanging up the phone, Toru Amuro leaned back on the sofa, lost in thought.

The rat was still immersed in the tense atmosphere of eavesdropping, and had no idea that Amuro Toru had discovered it. It listened for a long time, felt that there was nothing new, and was about to quietly jump to the ground.

As a result, Toru Amuro was in a place where the squirrel couldn't see him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and he decided to scare this naughty squirrel.

Shushu moved his little body, preparing to jump from the edge of the sofa to the ground.

Just when its chubby paws were about to touch the ground, Amuro Toru suddenly coughed. Shushu was so frightened that he trembled all over and almost fell from mid-air.

It looked around in panic, but found nothing unusual. "Did I hear it wrong? That's impossible. The cough just now was very clear."

Shushu hesitated for a moment and prepared to land again.

At this time, Amuro Toru deliberately moved his body again, and the sofa made a slight sound. Shushu was completely panicked, and it huddled on the edge of the sofa, not daring to move.

Amuro Toru looked at Shushu's panicked look, and the smile on his face became even more intense. He knew he couldn't go too far, lest he really scare the little guy. So, he returned to his silence and continued to immerse himself in his own thoughts.

Shushu waited for a long time, and after making sure there was no other movement, he mustered up the courage to try to escape again.

This time, it successfully jumped to the ground. The rat looked around and then ran upstairs to Kudo Yuki's room, but he didn't know that the action just now was intentional by Amuro Toru.

Amuro Toru looked at the direction Shushu left, shook his head slightly, and laughed in his heart: "This little guy is getting more and more interesting."

But he had no intention of exposing the fact that he could see Shushu. After all, in Shushu's cognition, no one could see it except Kudo Yuki, so let it keep this little "confidence" for the time being.

Shushu just jumped to the side of Kudo Yuki's bed, and his chubby paws made no sound on the soft carpet. He looked up at Kudo Yuki on the bed, and saw that her brows were slightly wrinkled, as if she was thinking about something important in her dream.

Suddenly, Kudo Yuki started talking in her sleep: "Shushu, help me keep an eye on Rum. It would be best if you could record it and send it to my phone."

After hearing this, Shushu's round eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect that Kudo Yuki was still thinking about Rum even in her sleep.

"Xiaoxue, you still remember to sleep. If I hadn't realized that you were really sleepy, I would have suspected that you didn't sleep at all. This rat will keep an eye on it for you."

After saying that, Shushu jumped onto the bedside table, found a comfortable position and lay down, but her eyes fell on the clock in the room, and she was also ready to do what she cared about at any time.

The night faded from darkness to a hazy dark blue. On the quiet streets, only the occasional breeze blew, gently stirring the leaves on the roadside, making a rustling sound.

Rat opened the portal, and after a flash of light, it came to the car where Rum was.

It looked around and saw Rum sitting in the back seat, his arms folded, eyes slightly closed, as if he was taking a light nap. His sturdy figure looked particularly majestic in the car.

Shushu's eyes rolled around. He turned on the video recording function, found a suitable position, and recorded the entire appearance of the black car.

The black car has a low-key yet luxurious appearance, with a silver crow spreading its wings as if about to take off standing on the logo right in front of the car.

Two bodyguards sat in the driver's seat and the passenger seat respectively. They wore black sunglasses, black headphones, and black suits. They had blank expressions on their faces, like two silent sculptures. The bodyguards parked the car in front of the Iroha Sushi Restaurant and said, "We're here."

At this time, Rum was not wearing any disguise. He was bald and slowly opened his eyes. His left eye was not covered with an eye patch. It was pale and lifeless, which made people feel cold. His face was indeed like a middle-aged uncle who had passed the age of knowing the destiny. The years had left deep marks on his face.

Rum put on a black wig, then a fake beard, and then fake front teeth. He moved slightly, making a slight sound. Finally, he put on an eye patch on his left eye to cover the frightening artificial eye. "Thank you for your hard work."

Then he opened the car door and got out.

The black car drove away with a slight engine sound and disappeared at the end of the street.

Rum looked up at the sign of the Maori Detective Agency, his eyes flashing with complex light. He stopped for a minute, as if thinking about something.

Afterwards, he walked to the door of the Iroha Sushi restaurant where he worked part-time and switched his voice: "Hey, boss, let me help!"

Shushu waited for a while at the door of Iroha Sushi Restaurant, staring into the restaurant. Through the glass door, he saw Rum busying himself inside, cutting ingredients skillfully and greeting customers.

After Shushu made sure that Rum would not behave abnormally for the time being, he opened the portal and returned to Kudo Yuki's room.

It stored the recorded video in Kudo Yuki's mobile phone, then lay down beside her, waiting for Kudo Yuki to wake up, looking forward to her reaction when she saw this important video.

As time passed, the room became so quiet that only the sound of Kudo Yuki's even breathing could be heard.

Shushu was lying on the bedside table, raising his little head from time to time to look at Kudo Yuki, and then at his cell phone.

Outside the window, the sky gradually brightened, bringing light to the entire room.

Kudo Yuki's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Shushu immediately perked up and stood up. Kudo Yuki opened her eyes, turned around and saw Shushu, and smiled. "Shushu, you've been waiting for me here."

Shushu jumped a few times, "Xiaoxue, hurry up and get yourself ready."

Kudo Yuki sat up and stretched, feeling that her fatigue had dissipated a lot. After simply packing up, she picked up her mobile phone and saw the video stored by Shushu.

Her brows were sometimes slightly furrowed, and sometimes relaxed. After watching the video, she was more certain that Wakita Kensuke was Rum.

His action reminded the thoughtful Kudo Yuki of the information Cameron had told her, and of the fact that twice during their previous meetings, she had made the small gesture of pointing her orchid finger at him.

This unique action kept appearing in her mind, making her feel that Rum's behavior was more and more weird.

These signs gave Kudo Yuki a bold idea: [The rumors spread by Rum himself were all roles he had played in previous missions. But Rum said that they were all lies, and they were obviously true. There was a mixture of truth and falsehood, and there was no doubt that he was confusing people.]

Suddenly, the system prompt sounded: "Ding, congratulations to Xiaoxue for completing the side quest and receiving the reward of the Huinengbao item."

Then, the system announcement came again: "The Huinengbao item can replenish the consumed energy at once."

When Kudo Yuki was still wondering who could use this prop, he saw Shushu's eyes light up and take out a small ball that emitted a faint glow and contained power from the system space.

Shushu swallowed the small ball, and then a magical scene happened.

A pattern of a portal appeared under its feet, flashing with light. After the pattern lasted for a few seconds, it gradually disappeared.

Kudo Yuki's eyes were full of confusion. "Shu Shu, this is too sudden. That little ball is the Phinunho tool? You just swallowed it like that?"

The mouse's round eyes rolled around and it scratched its head with its little paws: "Hey, Xiaoxue, I'm just anxious. As soon as this prop appeared, I felt it was very useful to me." After saying that, it shook its little body to show its energy.

Kudo Yuki shook her head helplessly: "Then tell me, what is the specific relationship between this portal and the Brilliant Power item? Stop being vague."

Shushu's eyes rolled guiltily. He recalled the time when he almost let the cat out of the bag, and tried to make his voice sound calmer.

"Xiaoxue, I said before that the portal will consume energy. If you don't have enough points, you can only use pine nuts! Although this Brilliant Energy item can replenish energy, the number of times it can be used to carry people through the portal has been used up."

Kudo Yuki looked at Shushu thoughtfully, "In other words, now this Brilliant Energy can only replenish your own energy, and can no longer be used to activate the function of teleporting people?"

Shushu's chubby little paw scratched his ears. "Yes, Xiaoxue. This item can only restore my energy now, so that I can continue to carry out missions or open ordinary portals to collect information. I will encounter more useful things in the future."

Kudo Yuki stood up and walked to the window. "Although I know that Rum's current identity is Wakita Kanenori, this information cannot be disclosed to others for the time being."

She kept thinking about the possible consequences. If Rum's identity was revealed too early, it might alert the distillery organization and prompt them to take more radical measures. Moreover, once this evidence was made public, it would cause trouble for others.

At this time, Noah's Ark turned on the voice mode: "Xiaoxue, it's best to gradually release the information about Rum's identity after the case of Hiroshi Haneda was solved 17 years ago. When someone asks, we can gradually release it."

"Why after the case of Hiroshi Haneda was solved?"

Noah's Ark reminded: "The case of Hiroshi Haneda is a key node, which is closely related to Rum's identity. When this case is solved, many clues will surface. Revealing Rum's identity at that time will be more convincing and can better promote the development of the situation."

Noah's Ark didn't hide himself when he heard the footsteps, but turned off the voice mode directly. Then, there was a knock on the door.
