Did I fall off the horse with Touzi today?

When Toru Amuro woke up, he found himself in a hospital in Nagano Prefecture.

There was no one else in the ward. The nurse who made the rounds saw him wake up and immediately contacted Kogoro Mori and his group who were staying in a nearby hotel. When Kogoro Mori and others arrived in a hurry, Toru Amuro knew that they had been in a car accident. and the aftermath of the accident.

The young detective, who has always been energetic, hasn't spoken much since he entered the ward. Looking at his hesitant expression, Amuro Toru can almost guess what he wants to say.

"Mr. Mori, please go back to Tokyo first."

Kogoro Mouri disapproved when he heard the words, "You just had a car accident, how could you leave you here alone?"

"Miss Lan and Conan-kun are still going to school. And I'm not alone, in fact, a friend of mine will come to Nagano soon."

Toru Amuro felt that he could not delay the study of the two students - even though he felt that the elementary school course might not be too simple for Conan.

"Friend? Does Mr. Amuro have any friends who will come to Nagano Prefecture to take care of you?"

Mao Lilan looked as if she had discovered some shocking secret, and her tone also attracted the attention of Mori Kogoro and Conan.

Amuro Toru had already prepared a countermeasure early in the morning.

"It's my little boy. His hometown is in Nagano Prefecture. He wanted to come back to visit relatives recently, but he was too busy with work. He just contacted me before Teacher Maori came. When he heard that I had a car accident, he immediately He said he was going to ask for leave, but he thought he would come today."

Of course this is a lie.

Amuro Toru never contacted Zhu Fu Jingguang at all, the purpose of saying this was purely to act separately from Mori Kogoro and others.

Mori Kogoro was also worried about his accommodation in Nagano, but he was relieved when he heard what Amuro said.

"Then let's wait until your friend arrives before leaving."

"Don't bother Mr. Maori, he is estimated to arrive in the afternoon, and I will be fine in the hospital by myself."

After Toru Amuro said that, Mori Kogoro saw that he was holding on to his energy, and he was very sensible and didn't want to disturb him any more.

They made an agreement with Toru Amuro to meet in Tokyo and they were about to leave, but as soon as Mori and his daughter walked out of the ward, Conan quietly came to Toru Amuro's bedside and asked him such a question softly:

"Mr. Amuro, do you still remember what happened in the Extremely Cold Pavilion?"

Conan's question was also expected by Amuro Toru, and he had prepared the answer to this question early in the morning.

"Sorry, Conan-kun."

Toru Amuro's expression was a little more apologetic, "My memory is a bit confused now, and I can't remember most of the things before the car accident clearly."

Toru Amuro spoke sincerely, but Conan had seen his proficient acting skills.

Now hearing Toru Amuro insisting that he doesn't remember anything, Conan has a little bit of doubt in his heart.

At that time, Amuro Toru had been unconscious after the car accident. They sent Amuro Toru to the nearest hospital. The doctor's diagnosis was that he might have been severely stimulated during the car accident and might be accompanied by a mild concussion. , must stay in hospital for observation.

To be honest, Conan felt somewhat unbelievable about this diagnosis result.

Toru Amuro was wearing a seat belt and the airbag was operating normally when the accident happened.Maybe this Mr. Public Security who can fight with Shuichi Akai on the Ferris wheel will really have a mild concussion like ordinary people, but he will be unconscious due to the intense stimulation of the car accident...

Conan felt that the tram driver and the passenger in the front seat who had confronted Amuro Toru's sports car had something to say.

You must know that Conan was sitting in the co-pilot at the time, and for a long time afterwards, he felt that the driving skills and mental power of this Mr. Public Security had surpassed the limits of human beings.

Would such a person really suffer from severe stimulation?

It’s just that since Toru Amuro insists that he doesn’t remember anything, Conan can no longer dig any useful clues from him. They leave together.

Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Amuro Toru that if any useful clues are found during the search, please be sure to contact him.

The door of the ward was slowly closed from the outside, and Toru Amuro, who had been maintaining a decent smile just now, seemed to be unable to hold back anymore, and immediately suppressed his smile.

The excuse he made to ask Mori Kogoro to go away was still seen through by the little detective.

In fact, he wasn't lying just now.

Toru Amuro really has no memory of what happened when the car accident happened—Toru Amuro has some doubts about whether the car accident is real.But Toru Amuro did not forget anything that happened in the Extremely Cold Pavilion.

Even before Mori Kogoro and his party came, he had almost analyzed the cause and effect of the case.

Toru Amuro still remembers what Shana said before he fell into a coma.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember it, Amuro Toru’s mobile phone still has the recording that he secretly recorded at that time.

Toru Amuro took out the earphones and turned on the recording of the conversation between the two of them on the phone at that time. Along with the sound of running water in the background, the conversation between himself and Shane also sounded from the earphones.

The recording lasted about 10 minutes. Toru Amuro only turned on the recording when Shana went to wash the cups. Although there was no evidence left in the conversation and process when he searched Shane’s luggage, the question and answer between the two of them on the case was one sentence. None less.

Amuro Touan listened to the recording quietly, at least after the recording stopped abruptly, he let out a long breath of relief.

He didn't know what Xia Nai said at the end, "It's your turn next", but he was very sure of one thing.

"If Nana didn't lie, then this case..."

It is very likely that it has been under Xia Nai's grasp from the very beginning.

Shana's partner Nakahara Naka may also be an "accomplice". Shana deliberately said some attention-grabbing words in front of them. The process of her getting acquainted with Osamu Dazai, all these can be regarded as foreshadowing.

And the phrase "Have you heard of Rage God" is the real beginning.

Perhaps her purpose at the beginning was to attract Kogoro Mori's attention, but she didn't want Kogoro Mori to not pay special attention to this aspect. On the contrary, it was her deliberately eye-catching words and deeds that made Conan-kun successfully eye her.

Regardless of the intermediate process, but in terms of the result, Shane's goal has been achieved.

Thinking about it carefully, the presence of Nakahara Chuya, who seems to be the easiest to talk, has been suppressed to the minimum, and the missing Dazai Osamu is not so important compared with the whereabouts of Munakata Reiji.

The little detective, who has always been good at finding suspicious points in cases, directly pointed the finger at Xia Nai.

Shane is like a luminous bait in the deep sea. While attracting the attention of others, she also successfully hides other things in the dark.

As for what Shana is hiding with herself...

Amuro looked at the phone with a fighting expression on his face.

"It seems that some things need to be investigated carefully."

>>>

Although Mori Kogoro and his team have no impression of the car accident, fortunately, this car accident did not cause irreparable consequences in the end.

It is worth mentioning that Mori Kogoro, he was uncomfortable for a while at the beginning to pay the compensation for the rented car.

However, after the car rental company stated that they had full insurance and that Kogoro Mori only needed to pay the delayed rent and towing fee, the dejected man immediately cheered up tomorrow, and all his complaints disappeared.

This completely exciting result made Mori Kogoro happy and drank two more cans of beer in broad daylight, and fell on his desk in a drunken coma all afternoon.

When he was woken up by Mao Lilan who came home from school, he realized that he had missed Yoko Okino's TV series.

While the overjoyed and sad Mouri Kogoro was wailing because of his mistake, Conan expressed doubts about the words of the car rental company.

However, after he repeatedly inquired with the car rental company to no avail, he could only turn his focus to the missing Mr. Hanchuan and the extremely cold pavilion that had been demolished.

In fact, on the day of the car accident, Conan wanted to go back to the Extreme Cold Pavilion immediately to investigate, but because the vehicle was scrapped and Amuro Toru was unconscious because of the car accident, his goal was not achieved in the end.

After that, Conan still didn't give up, and turned to Nagano County Police Uehara Yui to inquire about the situation.

It’s just that what I got in the end were all the same “Mr. Hanchuan has no record of returning to China after going to the United States”, “The Museum of Extreme Cold had decided to demolish it on the day they encountered a car accident a few months ago.” A flawed answer.

It was as if there were a pair of invisible big hands from the very beginning, arranging everything clearly.

The weirdest thing is that Conan himself only has a vague memory of the horrible and weird experience in the Extreme Cold Pavilion, while Mori Kogoro and Mori Lan father and daughter simply have no memory of this period at all.

At this time, if Conan didn't find out that there was something strange about this incident from beginning to end, then he wouldn't be a detective.

Fortunately, Mihua Town has not had any difficult cases recently, and Conan has a lot of time to deal with this incident.

In fact, Conan also thought about asking Amuro Toru about the situation, but Conan went to the Poirot Cafe downstairs for several days without seeing anyone, and then asked Miss Azusa for details, and the answer he got was always only this:

"Mr. Amuro needs to rest at home because of a car accident. I haven't been able to contact him for a few days, and I don't know how he is doing."

So far, all of Conan's investigations have been utterly empty, and all doubts about the Extreme Cold Pavilion incident have been artificially smoothed out. Reluctantly, he put this matter aside, and planned to wait for Toru Amuro to return to Poirot before discussing it.

>>>

Toru Amuro, whom Conan misses so much—this man who works four jobs at the same time, has actually devoted himself to his work as early as the day Kogoro Mori and others left to visit the sick.

The car accident did not affect Toru Amuro in a coma for a whole day and night.Although the doctor still wants him to stay in the hospital for observation for a few more days, Toru Amuro is not the kind of person who can honestly lie in the ward to recuperate.

It can be said that as soon as Mori Kogoro and others walked away, he immediately went to the doctor and said that he would be discharged from the hospital.

The disobedient and uncooperative appearance of arguing to leave the hospital has reached the point where the doctor can single out it as a typical negative example.

And the first place he went after completing a series of investigations in Nagano Prefecture was naturally the Police Department.

"The above is the incident report of the Extremely Cold Pavilion."

After listening to Toru Amuro's report, the management officer looked at the report that Toru Amuro had written in a day, and then heaved a long sigh, "I didn't expect Scepter4 to cooperate with the port Mafia, but it's about Jungle. No wonder."

Although this incident has not been announced to the outside world so far, even in the public security, few people know about it—even Toru Amuro, who was in charge of the Jungle case that day, still does not know the real cause of the death of the Jungle leader.

But the management officer who had already gotten along with Munakata Reiji knew all about the situation on the day the leader of the Jungle passed away.

Including where the other party died and who was "killed".

At this moment, the administrator is only surprised that Reji Munakata will join hands with Osamu Dazai.

Amuro was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Then do you want to apply for handing over Yushao Shenzi to the police?"

"No, no need, let Scepter4 handle the matter of Yushaoshenzi."

The administrator shook his head.

He knows very well that it is absolutely impossible for S4 to just let go of someone who is caught by him, especially if it is the one who let Reiji Munakata do it himself.So the management officer never thought about the unrealistic thing of snatching someone from S4.

"That's the end of Jungle's case. You can prepare for finishing work in the next two days, and then let S4 handle it by itself."

The police can only catch some small fish and shrimps, and the real big fish are all in the hands of S4.

The management officer thought very clearly, even if the police could really catch a fat fish, it would only be transferred to them forcefully by S4, why would they waste such time?

It's better to use limited time, energy and manpower in places where S4 will not set foot.

Toru Amuro thought of his girlfriend whose position was unclear, and nodded after being silent for a while.

"Yes, I see, I will pass it on to the Metropolitan Police Department."

"Think about it, you haven't gained anything this time, have you?"

The management officer mistook Toru Amuro's silence as unwillingness, and faced his subordinates who rarely showed emotions at work, the management officer tried to persuade him with a good temper.

"Although Han Chuan was not caught directly, because of him, we found out a route for smuggling and selling stolen goods this time. This is the biggest gain, far more valuable than Han Chuan himself."

The management officer didn't say it clearly, but Amuro understood his subtext: Compared with dealing with Jungle's problem without a clue, and getting some leftovers from S4's hands, this credit is firmly in the hands of their police officers .

"Will Scepter4 not interfere in this case?"

"Even if Scepter4 finds this out, they probably won't take the initiative to deal with it."

The police and Scepter4 have also cooperated several times, and the two sides can say that this is tacit understanding, "And this coincides with your recent mission in the organization. It would be even better if you can take advantage of this opportunity to break into the upper echelons of the organization."

Toru Amuro knew what the Administrator was talking about.

The Opaz that I saw in the Extremely Cold Pavilion that day was exactly the one that Belmode told him that day that the downline member of the dead organization lost.

Although rare, Opazi itself is not important to the organization. All the organization wants is the research data that was lost along with it.

As for how this Opatz fell into the hands of Suzukawa, who passed through it, and how it entered Japan, these clues obtained in the process of searching for research materials and Opatz are of great importance to the public security. It is said to be a great achievement that fell from the sky.

"Yes, I understand," Amuro nodded, "I will investigate Opaz's entry."

Toru Amuro has been reassuring the higher-ups since he joined the job. Seeing that he didn't continue to be entangled in the Jungle case, the management officer was also relieved.

"Speaking of which there is one more thing."

Just when Toru Amuro was about to leave, the manager suddenly said quietly, "Scepter 4's Munakata actually contacted me yesterday."

Toru Amuro thought about it for a while, and was not quite sure what the management officer was doing to bring up Scepter4 at this time - he was the one who just said that he would stop the investigation of the Jungle case, and now the police should have no contact with Scepter4.

"……Then?"

"After this case is over, something can be arranged."

Looking at the administrator's mysterious smile, Toru Amuro suddenly had a bad feeling, he felt as if he had overlooked something.Too many things have happened recently, and Toru Amuro couldn't think of any connection between himself and Scpeter4 other than the Jungle case.

It's just that he felt that this scene seemed familiar, as if it happened a while ago...

Ah, yes, it did happen.

Toru Amuro stared at the administrator with wide eyes. Seeing him like this, the administrator also knew that Toru Amuro had remembered the thing he deliberately forgot.

"Looking at you, you should remember it, that's good."

The management officer pretended not to see Toru Amuro's resistance, but Munakata Reiji's half-smile look was too creepy. The management officer felt that if Munakata Reiji could not be satisfied with this matter, there would be troubles in the future.

I don't know where Reji Munakata got so much time.

"After the case in your hand is over, we can arrange a second blind date between you and Scpeter4."

"Administrator, I..."

"I know what you're going to say, but that's it."

The administrator waved his hand with a headache, "You just need to attend, even if this blind date will definitely fail, you just need to give Scepter4 an explanation, and then there will be a reason for refusing."

No matter how Toru Amuro thought about it, he felt that the administrator's idea was too unreliable.

He thought that since he had no interest in the woman, he should not have attended the blind date from the very beginning.

If his blind date is that kind of particularly troublesome eldest lady, how will he explain to Nana in the future?

Especially now that his relationship with his girlfriend is subtle, his girlfriend can even hack into S4's internal network, in case Nana hacks into S4's network one day and sees herself going on blind dates with other women behind her back...

hiss.

Toru Amuro gasped, feeling that boxing with Shuichi Akai on the Ferris wheel wasn't that exciting.

Just looking at the management officer's "that's it, I'll let this matter up to me" look, Toru Amuro felt that he might not be able to talk to him today.

It seems that he still has to find a way to avoid it afterwards, or he will really be finished.

>>>

Toru Amuro's resistance to the blind date did not last long, because he soon had new concerns.

What he was in now was a brightly lit but dimly lit room.

The surrounding walls are covered with black wallpaper, the floor is covered with black floor tiles, and the bar counter at the entrance and the wine rack displaying expensive champagne are also all black.

A few complicated crystal chandeliers hung from the dimly depressing ceiling. The bright lights illuminated each crystal, and also illuminated the crystal hanging wall that separated the booth area and the bar area not far away. The curtain is shining brightly.

The layout of the store is dazzling, and the outside of the store is also bustling.

Even in Tokyo, which is extremely lively at night, this is one of the areas that cannot be ignored.

Large light boxes can be seen everywhere on both sides of the street. Compared with the text signboards that have been exposed to the sun for many years and are slightly dim in color, those photos that are so large that it is difficult to ignore them are extraordinarily bright. person replacement.

This is Shinjuku Kabukicho [-]st Street, which has a famous night spot not only in Japan, but also in the whole of Asia.

The time is now eight o'clock in the evening, which happens to be the time when Kabukicho actually opens for business.

"Drink! Drink! Drink!"

At this moment, Toru Amuro was sitting in the corner of the leather deck, listening to the champagne call that sounded for the first time in this short half hour, while seeming to be energetically beating the rhythm of the crowd, while only feeling that he was His face was a little sour from laughing.

After a short champagne call, the young woman sitting in the center of the booth seemed to be in a good mood.

"Then I'll drink it."

She took the champagne glass handed over by the person next to her, which contained the 15 yen bottle of high-end champagne she had just bought for him.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she drank a small glass of wine poured by the person next to her, and the male waiter at No.1 branch of the group sitting next to her also raised the wine bottle that had poured a small glass, Drank the remaining half of the bottle of champagne in one gulp.

This heroic move immediately drew applause.

Although it is not out of the heart, Toru Amuro is also one of them.

The male waiter who killed a bottle of champagne in one breath put down the bottle in his hand, and the male waiter next to him who was also in an auxiliary role like Toru Amuro handed him the microphone with a wink.

"Can I have another bottle?"

The woman in the middle of the booth smiled shyly, but she deserved it very generously, "Yes."

So the applause resounded through the area again.

Toru Amuro, who kept lowering his sense of existence, felt that the smile on his face could no longer be maintained.

This kind of life has been going on for half a month, and he has seen all the methods used by the male waiters to make the guests happy and get them to place orders for wine.However, even with his excellent endurance, he almost feels that he is reaching his limit now.

It's not that he discriminates against those who work in such custom | places, it's better to say that after lurking here for two weeks, he even has some inexplicable admiration for these practitioners.

Not only for their conversational skills that cater to all kinds of women and make them happy, but also for their amazing liver functions.

With such a large amount of alcohol every day, even if most of them drink champagne, are these people really okay with their livers?

Amuro was slightly concerned about the health of the waiters.

However, his concern didn't last long. After all, he came to HostClub just to sneak in and investigate, not to be a health manager for these male PRs who are making money every day.

Now his task has been basically completed: all the information that should be collected is not missing, and there are even many unexpected gains.

Toru Amuro felt that he would be able to evacuate from here in two days.

Today is the day of in-store activities of this HostClub group named "Koujin". The hosts of the main store and two branches, a total of three stores, will compete in turnover, and the person with the highest turnover will receive a bonus of 20 yen.

Although Toru Amuro is only a newcomer in the branch, and his rank is only the lowest-level cadre assistant; but because he knows current affairs, can speak, and has a mixed-race appearance, he was selected to go to the main store for PK.

How could Toru Amuro not know that the store manager had expectations of himself.

Of course, the manager of the branch store never thought that he would become the number one in sales overnight. After all, this is a fantasy, and it took three or four years for the male waiter with the number one sales in the head office to reach his current position.

Relying on his ability to observe words and emotions, Amuro felt that the manager of the branch store probably wanted him to see the world, and learn how other people sell those expensive wines by the way.

After all, he has been "unable to let go" during the past half month of working in the store. The branch store manager probably thinks that he has the potential to be a waiter, and as long as he breaks through this limit, he can soar into the sky.

Toru Amuro was somewhat dumbfounded about the expectations that the store manager had for him.

Before he infiltrated into this HostClub, he had reported to the management officer. The management officer, who was already used to him working in various places and obtaining information in various identities, didn't say much after hearing what he said, but just said it to him earnestly. Such a sentence——

"Jiang Gu, although it's for the mission, don't be too dedicated. When working at HostClub, you should pay attention to moderation, after all, your main mission now is still the organization."

Looking at the manager's expression at the time, Toru Amuro felt that the boss was worried that he was too serious and responsible when he sneaked into the investigation at HostClub, and accidentally became the number one in sales.

Toru Amuro looked around at the luxurious scene in the store, and felt that the manager was thinking too much.

It is not easy to be the first in performance in custom places.

And no matter what, he can't do anything to coax women to spend huge sums of money on wine and then drink it himself.

So the management officer does not need to worry about whether his photo will be displayed on the huge light box on the streets of Kabukicho.

The champagne call has hardly stopped in the store. After all, today is a joint activity of the three stores, and each male waiter has found his regular customers and regular customers.

At a booth not far away, another woman, surrounded by male waiters Toru Amuro was not familiar with, ordered a bottle of Tompelli, and the woman's declaration of "I want you to be the number one" came from the microphone.

Such provocative words made the women sitting in several other booths in the store show dissatisfied expressions.

The first to fight back was the young woman sitting in the center of the booth where Toru Amuro was. After hearing the provocative words, she immediately ordered a third bottle of champagne.The price has also been upgraded from 15 yen a bottle of premium champagne to 30 yen a bottle of premium rose champagne.

"Blessings to the lovely princess—"

The loud champagne call sounded again.

Toru Amuro, still unable to adapt to this place, sighed heavily in his heart.

However, as an excellent undercover police officer, he was able to perfectly disguise himself even in such an occasion. He put on a smile that could not see any flaws, stood up and yelled loudly with everyone.

This is what she saw when she entered the store under the guidance of Shanai's internal staff, who stepped on ten centimeter high heels and carried a brand-name bag full of cash——

My boyfriend was mixed in with the male publicists. He was wearing a low-key white shirt and black trousers, with a bright smile on his face that made her feel strange, and he called the young woman in the middle of the booth enthusiastically.

... She has never enjoyed such treatment.

Xia Nai's footsteps stopped, and the internal staff responsible for leading the way immediately turned to ask her about the situation.

"Miss Jinyun? Is there any question?"

"That blonde with black skin over there."

Shana pointed in the direction of her boyfriend with her chin.The other party seemed to have not noticed her arrival, and was still wholeheartedly calling the champagne call for the woman in the middle of the deck who didn't know when it would end.

Oh, it is enthusiastic.

The smile on Xia Nai's face, who had never enjoyed the treatment of a boyfriend, suddenly turned cold, but there was nothing unusual in her tone, "Has he been named?"

"Eh? He? Are you talking about Toru-kun?" Neiqian was stunned for a moment, but quickly answered Xia Nai's question, "He's an assistant to the cadre of the branch, and he hasn't been named yet."

This guy sneaked into Niu|Lang's shop without even changing his name.

Xia Nai made a bad comment on her boyfriend's dedication in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on the surface. She just pretended that she didn't understand the hint from the back office to her boyfriend that "he is still a newcomer in the branch, and he is not yet proficient in business", which was very direct. The local replied:

"Very well, then I will choose him tonight, please bring him to my table."
