[Toru Amuro] Those years when I worked at Poirot

I closed all the curtains in the apartment, locked the door, sat cross-legged on the carpet in front of the sofa, folded my arms, and stared at the sniper rifle on the sofa.

Now, I am faced with two choices.

First, destroy the gun, as if it never existed, and then continue to play an inconspicuous waiter.

This is my first thought.I'm afraid of trouble, and keeping this at home will be a disaster sooner or later.

However, after I ate a bowl of cup noodles, my mind changed again.

Because after calming down, there are more points to consider.First of all, Natsume Akie, who holds such a dangerous item, is not a simple person. Even if the pistol was found on TV today, I would not be so entangled.

Although pistols are also prohibited items in Japan, they are not so rare after all, and it is not difficult for people in some special industries to obtain them for self-defense.

But the sniper rifle is completely different. Except for the police on special missions, the only ones who hold this rifle are killers.

So which kind is Natsume Akie?

The police, obviously not. There is no police uniform or badge at home. Not only that, but I didn’t find anything related to work in her home. She seems to be a freelancer.

Then, most likely, it is the killer.

I took out the main part of the gun and rubbed it lightly. The touch felt familiar, but it still didn't make me have the conditioned reflex like before. I touched it for several minutes, and I didn't know how to assemble it, let alone shoot it.

If she is really a killer, it’s okay, but at worst, she will quit in the future. I’m afraid that she is an organized killer, and the killing task is assigned by the higher-ups. The end is coming.

Ah, God, I want to travel back in time, okay?

But after thinking about it, the me in that world was already a corpse, and at least I still had a chance to survive in this world, so I suddenly calmed down a lot.

But it also made me understand that I can no longer live in chaos, I must find a way to understand my past "self", and more importantly, I must learn the skills mastered by my past self.

We must find a way to survive.In times of crisis, at least be able to protect yourself.

I am a very optimistic person. Even when I am in trouble, I can try my best to see the positive side. After thinking about it like this, I feel much more at ease.

I put the gun back on the TV, took a hot shower, and suddenly thought of a problem.

Could there be other organs in her home, hiding other things that would surprise me.

Could anything be worse than a sniper rifle?

Thinking of this, I dried my body, put on a cotton two-piece pajamas, and lay on the bed with Natsume Akie's phone soaked in seawater.

Her mobile phone is an outdated iphone4, no matter how hard she fiddles, she can't turn it on. Tomorrow, I have to buy a new mobile phone.

It may be that I didn't fall asleep yesterday, and I experienced a series of shocks today. I was so tired that I almost closed my eyes and fell asleep.

I dreamed that I turned into a cabbage, lying on the cutting board, and Amuro was wearing an apron with the Poirot logo, holding a sharp and shiny kitchen knife, and said to me with a smile: "Today, are you making sandwiches or burgers?" Well, no matter what kind, I need to cut you open."

The next morning, I was awakened by his bright and dangerous smile.

At [-]:[-], I got up in a cold sweat, brushed my teeth and washed my face.Natsume only has basic skin care products at home, and a bottle of base cream, most of which are from Chanel. It can be seen that she doesn't usually groom herself very much, she just draws thrushes and puts on lipstick.

However, she uses all high-end products. Apart from Chanel, there are Givenchy and Dior series. She doesn't seem to be interested in local Japanese brands. Even the lip balm used as a base is Estee Lauder. It shows that she is rich, which is even more important. It confirmed my identity as her killer.

These cosmetics, I used to save my wages for several months and made countless decisions before I was willing to buy a bottle, but now I can use them casually, which brightened my originally gloomy mood.

Making women happy is actually very simple.

However, this feeling of enlightenment only lasted ten meters away from Poirot's door. When I saw the half-open door and the incandescent lights overflowing from it, my heart beat wildly.

He has come.

Hey, I don't really want to see that person.To be exact, I wanted to see him but didn't dare to see him. I hoped that the unlucky woman hadn't been pushed downstairs, so that I wouldn't have all the experiences of last night, and I could still maintain a calm colleague relationship with him.

But now, with my low EQ, I don't know how to get along with him.

Like a zombie, I shuffled forward. Passers-by looked at me curiously and hurried past me.

Hey.

"Yo, here we come." When he saw me, he smiled like he did when we met for the first time, which made me a little embarrassed.

Am I judging the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?

"Good morning, Mr. Amuro." I also responded with a smile.

He has already done all the pre-opening preparations, I just need to change my clothes and wait for the opening.

"Have you had breakfast?" He asked suddenly, I shook my head honestly, he took out a plate of sandwiches and milk from the microwave, and pushed them in front of me: "It's freshly made in the morning, eat some."

"...um..." My reservedness dissipated in the sound of my stomach growling, and after I said my sincere thanks, I sat at the door with a plate and quickly finished eating.

very delicious.

At 45:[-], it was not yet business hours, but Lan and Conan, who were upstairs, rushed down to order two fried rice because they had to catch the bus to Tottori Prefecture.

Because we are regular customers and neighbors with good relationship, we made an exception to entertain. When Conan saw me, he immediately asked about yesterday's case, and I told him everything.

"Brother Amuro is amazing." He praised in a childlike voice that was seriously inconsistent with his eyes.

"That's right, it's completely unnecessary to be Dad's apprentice even though he's so powerful." Lan also echoed.

"Where is it? Maori detectives have rich experience. I am just a little clever, and I have to rely on the advice of famous detectives." Amuro said with a smile.

Looking at the poor acting skills of these two men with high IQs, I really wanted to roll my eyes a few times.

"Ah, sister, why do you have to look at things so far away?"

When I held the menu to compare the prices, Conan suddenly asked curiously.

"Ah, that's because I'm a little farsighted, and I don't like wearing glasses, so I can't see clearly at too close a distance. It's not too high, and it doesn't affect my life."

"Hey, Miss Natsume is farsighted, so she must be able to see far away."

"No, I used to sit in the last row at school."

This is purely Hu Zou, Natsume is farsighted, I used to be nearsighted, I hugged the teacher's thigh every day and begged her to push me forward.

Just when I turned around and went to get the fried rice ordered by Xiaolan, I saw Amuro staring at my back stiffly. After touching my peripheral vision, he quickly returned to normal, drained the soaked kohlrabi, and cut it with a knife. Crack and crack.

Did I just say something that made him so nervous?Question marks in my head.

Forget it, leave him alone, he must have suffered a nervous breakdown from working four divisions.

However, the way he is wearing an apron and cooking seriously is really handsome and very exciting.

In fact, he is also quite tired. Thinking of it this way, I feel a little distressed.

I quickly raised my hand and patted my head, making a loud slap.Qin Yue, Qin Yue, there is a knife on Sezi's head, don't be stupid again.

There were a lot of guests in the morning, and we had almost no time to communicate, which made me feel very safe.

After noon, the number of people began to decrease. Ms. Zi said that at this time, one person could be left in the store while the other went out to do some other business. I thought I had to buy a mobile phone, so I told Amuro that I would go out for an hour.

He readily agreed, and he never cared about work.

I originally wanted to go to the mobile phone store, but I was attracted by a bookstore with floor-to-ceiling windows on the way, so I opened the door and walked in without knowing it.

The store is spacious and bright, and all kinds of books are neatly placed on booths and bookshelves. It is slightly different from Chinese bookstores. There are many magazines and comics here, and the colors are as bright and beautiful as candy paper.

I have been a book lover since I was a child, and I have a special complex for bookstores. Being in the ocean of books, my restless heart is immediately relieved, and I get an unprecedented tranquility.

As usual, I wandered around in the novel section and picked out an original English version of "There Were None". The waistband indicated that this book was a reprint of the first edition, so it was very valuable for collection.

Natsume's English is as good as my mother tongue. This is what I discovered by accident when I opened the first page to read.

I feel more and more that this woman is awesome.

I suddenly thought of the gun, so I went to the military area and started looking for useful books from the first row.

Skipping those introducing tanks, troops, and military configurations of various countries, I finally came to a row of bookshelves dedicated to introducing sniper rifles, ranging from brand classification to usage methods.

There was almost no one in this area. The clerk was quite surprised to see me, a girl, looking at it with gusto, and asked me if I needed help. I said I could just look at it myself, but he didn’t insist anymore, and went to other customers.Presumably he doesn't know much about this kind of book, so he can't make a recommendation.

I picked with relish for more than half an hour, and I wanted to buy many of them, but the books on these weapons were too expensive, and the sum of them all caught up with a set of Shiseido.

Therefore, the number of books I wanted to buy was gradually reduced from the original ten books, and finally became four books.

But it is still too expensive, and I think these ten books have their own emphasis, and none of them is comprehensive, as if the merchants deliberately designed it like this to make you spend more money to buy them all.

Hey, I have never paid so much attention to buying college entrance examination exercise sets before.

What should I do, which ones should I choose?

Just when I was overwhelmed, a familiar voice sounded from behind.

"How about choosing this one?"

A tall figure had stood beside me at some point, and the magnetic voice made my heart tremble. I turned my head, saw the speaker, and almost called out his name in shock.

Standing against the sun in front of me was none other than Okiya Subaru, or Akai Shuichi.

He was holding a thick hard-cover book that had just been pulled from the top floor in his hand, shaking it in mid-air, his lens was slightly reflective, which made it difficult for me to see his expression clearly, but it was rippling from the corners of his upturned mouth and lips. Judging from the open lines, he should be smiling.

So, as an entry-level rookie, I got a tip from the great god on the first day of learning.

What a good sign.But why am I a little dumbfounded.
