Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World
Chapter 289: Villa Script Appointment: Surprises and Challenges
Toru Amuro was wearing simple yet neat casual clothes. He raised his hand and knocked on the door, then pushed it open and walked into the room.
His eyes were immediately attracted by the furry little figure on the windowsill. The rat was taking a nap comfortably, and the sunlight cast a warm halo around it, making it look extremely cute.
Toru Amuro raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of tenderness. He tiptoed to the windowsill, leaned closer, stretched out his finger and gently poked Shushu's little head.
"Huh..." The mouse, who was dreaming sweetly, was suddenly awakened by the touch. His little body shuddered and he jumped up in panic. His round little eyes were full of confusion and bewilderment. He looked left and right, his little nose twitching, looking for the "culprit" who disturbed his sweet dream.
Amuro Toru laughed at this and continued to tease Shushu with great interest. He would put his finger in front of Shushu and wave it back and forth, as if to lure it; then he would pretend to reach out and grab it, which frightened Shushu so much that he dodged left and right, and his short legs moved very fast.
Shu Shu was angry and said fiercely: "Humph, who is so bold as to disturb my sleep!"
Toru Amuro laughed secretly in his heart, but continued to test him without showing any expression.
He knew in his heart that this rat was no ordinary pet. It had a special liking for pine nuts, could speak human language, and its ability to lock onto locations and targets was amazing. It could even see on-site conditions in different places and was particularly sensitive to the aura of members of the winery organization. With it around, carrying out future missions might be a lot easier.
Seeing that his question received no response, the rat became even angrier. He jumped up and down on the windowsill, wagging his little tail like a rattle, trying to find the "invisible" enemy.
Toru Amuro almost laughed out loud at Shushu's funny appearance. While teasing him, he was thinking about the secrets of Shushu that had not yet been discovered.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Toru Amuro paused, quickly withdrew his hand, stood there calmly, pretending nothing had happened.
"Squeak..." Kudo Yuki pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Amuro Toru standing by the windowsill, she smiled and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Amuro Toru looked normal and answered in a relaxed tone: "Nothing, I just think the sunshine is nice today."
Kudo Yuki looked at the windowsill, where Shushu was lying quietly, his eyes half-closed, looking like everything was going well, as if nothing had happened. Little did she know that just now, a small "war" had broken out between Shushu and Amuro Toru.
Kudo Yuki walked over to Amuro Toru and gently took his arm. "Let's go to the Poirot Café and sit down."
Amuro Toru nodded.
The two walked out of the room together, leaving Shushu on the windowsill, still wondering who had just teased it.
When they came to the living room, the Kudo couple were sitting on the sofa, talking quietly. They saw Amuro Toru and Kudo Yuki and smiled.
The two said hello to the Kudo couple and prepared to go to the Poirot Café.
On the second floor, Okiya Subaru stood by the window, holding a mobile phone in his hand, reading the text message sent by Miyano Akemi. His eyes flashed with complex emotions, including loss, helplessness, and a hint of relief.
He knew everything. He and Miyano Akemi were cousins, and breaking up was the right decision. Okiya Subaru took a deep breath, put his phone back in his pocket, turned and looked out the window, his thoughts drifting far away.
Toru Amuro and Yuki Kudo walked out of the Kudo family house and drove towards their destination in the RX7.
Arriving at the Polo Café, Toru Amuro pushed open the door and the aroma of coffee hit him in the face.
There weren't many customers in the store, and Enomoto Azusa was busy wiping the counter. Seeing them come in, Enomoto Azusa smiled and said hello: "Boss, Mr. Amuro, you're here! Today's coffee is made from freshly roasted beans, and it tastes very mellow."
Amuro Toru responded with a smile: "Ms. Azusa, the store is quite quiet today."
Toru Amuro and Yuki Kudo found a seat by the window and sat down. Azusa Enomoto quickly brought them two cups of steaming coffee.
Toru Amuro gently stirred his coffee, looking through the window at the street outside, but his thoughts were still on his "interaction" with Shu Shu.
Kudo Yuki noticed that Amuro Toru seemed to be thinking about something, so she asked, "What are you thinking about? So absorbed in it?"
Amuro Toru came back to his senses and said, "Nothing."
At this moment, the shop door was pushed open with a "creaky" sound. Kudo Yuki and Amuro Toru looked towards the door at the same time. The person in the door was none other than Kuroda Heibei.
Azusa Enomoto hurried over to greet him, "Welcome, what can I do for you?"
Kuroda Bei nodded slightly, "A cup of black coffee."
Azusa Enomoto prepared coffee for Kuroda Bei and brought it to him. Kuroda Bei picked up the coffee, took a sip, and looked at Toru Amuro and Yuki Kudo.
Seeing that Kuroda Bei had something to say, Kudo Yuki stood up and said, "My dear guest, I believe you have something to discuss with me. Let's go into the inner room and talk."
The three of them walked into the secret room, and Kuroda Bei slowly put down the coffee cup in his hand. "Kudo, I have received the report results of the case at the Hakodate Police Station. This time, I came here to ask you to attend the discussion meeting for the stage play with me.
As for Furuya, find a way to continue collecting intelligence. When necessary, the three secret assistants will help you."
Kudo Yuki's attention was focused on the 'secret assistants' that Kuroda Heibei mentioned. "Old senior, you didn't ask those three to handle the follow-up investigation after Toru and I reported the intelligence, did you?"
Kuroda Bei nodded slightly, "Yes, the three of them have outstanding abilities and can play an important role at critical moments."
After hearing this, Toru Amuro knew who those three people were. He recalled the days when he carried out missions with Date Kou, Matsuda Jinpei, and Hagiwara Kenji. They were all trustworthy partners, and hearing their names again, Toru Amuro felt a warm current in his heart.
Kuroda looked at Amuro Toru and Kudo Yuki and said seriously, "The results of the last investigation of the abandoned factory have also come out. There is indeed an underground base nearby, but it is empty. It is a great achievement to be able to find the fire site of the Miyano couple 19 years ago.
The whereabouts of the test subjects on the list are clear. They were all abducted after being separated from their families. They were all put into a car and secretly escorted to the human laboratory to be guinea pigs. "
Kudo Yuki frowned, "It seems that the clues we have now are not enough. As for other places, I can only find time to explore them. By the way, old senior, Hiro's new pseudonym is Kagekawa Luo."
Kuroda Bei thought for a moment and said, "I know about this. Kudo, come with me."
As he said this, he stood up and before leaving, he said to Amuro Toru, "The mission was accomplished well, and you two cooperated very well. Keep working hard in the future, and don't let romance get in the way of your work."
Kuroda Heibei and Kudo Yuki walked out of the private room, while Amuro Toru stayed there, lost in thought.
Kudo Yuki followed Kuroda Heibei to a villa.
As soon as I stepped into the room, I heard the unique voice of director Kyosuke Tsuchimoto: “Our stage play sponsor this time is the Ooka Group.
Their retired old gentleman said, "If you invest in a stage play, I hope there will be a character based on my granddaughter in the play."
I just happened to feel that young characters nowadays would not be realistic if they did not have a girlfriend. So I decided to create this character.”
Ooka Momiji's voice came: "That's it, please take care of it."
The others also agreed.
"You are welcome."
"Please take care of me."
Director Kyosuke Tsuchimoto then murmured, "Not only that, we have a special guest today."
As they were talking, Kuroda Heibei and Kudo Yuki walked into the room.
Conan, Hattori Heiji and Mori Kogoro all showed shocked expressions for a moment.
"Officer Kuroda Heibei of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division and Sister Xue!"
"Why are you here?"
"Wait, Officer Kuroda, weren't you the former head of the Nagano Prefectural Police's First Investigation Division?"
Kurodabei replied, "Later, I received a transfer order and have now been transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department. This time I came to Kyoto for some business and visited the Ooka family.
I originally just wanted to say hello to the retired gentleman, but the gentleman asked me to say, "Ms. Momiji wants me to attend this meeting." After that, I went to the Poirot Cafe and asked Ms. Kudo to come with me. "
Ooka Hongye murmured softly, "Because this is a suspenseful mystery stage play, I would like to ask him for some opinions from the police perspective."
Kuroda Bei turned around and continued, "If it's just for reference, then it's fine."
Suddenly, the doorbell rang again.
Hattori Heiji frowned slightly: "Why, is there anyone else coming?"
Director Kyosuke Tsuchimoto smiled and went to open the door. "No, this time it should be..."
A delivery man stood at the door, holding a delicious pizza in his hands. "Your pizza is here."
Director Kyosuke Shumoto stepped forward and said, "You came at the right time."
The delivery man continued: "Three pizzas, please check."
Kakuo Akira stepped forward and took the pizza.
Director Kyosuke Sushimoto also reminded: "Can you please take it to the kitchen for me? I'll also get some drinks for everyone."
"Ok."
Director Kyosuke Tsuchimoto looked at the people behind him and said, "By the way, I want to cut the pizza myself, so please don't cut it for me."
"I know." Qingwei Minger walked into the house with pizza.
Maori Kogoro stuffed his hands into his pockets. "What's the saying about this pizza?"
"No, it's just a habit."
"We had a pizza once during a meeting to discuss a new play, and the play became a huge hit," explained Shigeki Kimata.
Inaba Reisuke added: “From then on, we ordered pizza for the first meeting of every stage play.”
Director Kyosuke Tsuchimoto couldn't help swallowing as he looked at the pizza. He looked around and saw that everyone was still busy and their attention was focused elsewhere, so he picked up a knife and cut the pizza.
A sly look flashed in his eyes, and he secretly left a piece to eat first. When he took a bite, the rich taste spread in his mouth, and he squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
After a while, he smiled and started to prepare: "Come on, this is good luck. Everyone, don't be polite and eat quickly."
Kudo Yuki watched Director Kyosuke Suzumoto's little move and thought to herself: "This is because he can't resist the temptation of delicious food."
"Then I won't be polite." Maori Kogoro took a bite and showed a satisfied look on his face: "This pizza is so delicious."
Light Oo Akira also agreed: "It's delicious."
Everyone sitting on the sofa took their pizza and started eating.
Kudo Yuki looked at Director Kyosuke Tsuchimoto standing next to her and said, "Don't you want to eat pizza?"
Director Kyosuke Tsuchimoto shook his head slightly, "The doctor told me that I need to control my weight and lose weight."
Ooka Momiji took a small sip and looked curious: "It's really delicious. So this is what pizza tastes like."
Hattori Heiji turned his head, "Why, is this your first time eating pizza?"
Conan sat between Ooka Momiji and Hattori Heiji, eating pizza, but he felt helpless and redundant.
Ooka Hongye deliberately moved closer to Hattori Heiji, "There are still many things I have never experienced, I hope you can teach me more."
"If there is someone who can teach, of course I can."
Kudo Yuki looked at Conan's speechless expression, ate pizza, watched the excitement with interest, and did not interrupt.
In a dessert shop, Toyama Kazuha and Mao Li Ran were sitting by the window, eating ice cream.
Butler Iori Muga stood quietly by the window, his hands behind his back, silent.
Toyama Kazuha thought of Ooka Kouha's plan, which successfully distracted her. Ooka Kouha was close to Hattori Heiji, and she could not see Hattori Heiji until the discussion meeting for the stage play was over. She suddenly felt a sense of crisis in her heart, and muttered secretly: "No, no. 】
Yuanshan Heye reminded: "Xiaolan, let's finish eating quickly and go to the next place."
Mao Lilan nodded solemnly, and the two began to eat ice cream faster.
Inside the villa, everyone sat together, each holding a script and discussing the plot in low voices from time to time.
Inaba Reiyu looked around at everyone and said, "So, does anyone have any opinions about the content up to the second act?"
Maori Kogoro frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the script. "I'm actually a little concerned about the fact that Daigoro is a henpecked husband. But it's okay."
Kuroda Bei raised his head and glanced at everyone. "Can I speak?"
Kakui Akira smiled and nodded: "Please go ahead."
Kuroda Bei was flipping through the script, his fingers gently sliding across the paper, making a slight rustling sound. "The policeman from the police station gave directions to the old lady and accepted the candy she gave him.
This behavior violates Article 197 of the Criminal Law, which is simple bribery and may be punished by imprisonment of up to five years.
After hearing this, Qingwei Minger showed a surprised expression on her face, and felt that there was no need to be so strict. "No way! It's just a candy."
"It's so inhumane." Kimura Shigeki echoed.
Inaba Reisuke quickly defended himself: "He's not collecting money here."
Kuroda Bei remained calm and said, "Bribery is not limited to money."
Director Kyosuke Tsuchimoto held a lollipop in his mouth and carefully considered what Kuroda said, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. "Okay, okay, it's rare that a professional points it out to us, so let's modify it for the sake of authenticity."
Kuroda Bei murmured calmly: "Thank you for your understanding. Then, the next one is page 21 of the script..."
Hattori Heiji raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said teasingly: "This administrator is quite enthusiastic."
Kudo Yuki knew Kuroda Heibei's character very well. Once he got serious, he would be strict with every detail.
The brother and sister laughed it off and continued watching the show.
