kill a detective

The water was still pitch black, and the glistening water was like two worlds above and below. Kaoru Nishikujo grabbed the middle-aged man's arm and pulled him to the bottom of the sea.The disheveled water plants brushed against the cheeks, giving it a cool and creamy touch like a water snake.

There was no time to think about how Toru Amuro would appear here, she only had one thought in her mind: this man can't be allowed to talk nonsense in front of Toru Amuro, he must die today.

In order to make the middle-aged man's death look more like an accident, Kaoru Nishikujo gave up on his neck and confined him with brute force, trying to use up his oxygen with time.

A dark forest composed of aquatic plants, the flowing water blows the branches and leaves like the wind.In the quiet and silent darkness, there was a "plop—" from the water surface, which exploded like thunder.Kaoru Nishikujo looked up following the voice.

Between the swaying water plants, the dark clouds in the sky moved at some point, and the bright moonlight streamed into the sea, swaying out mottled light and shadow.In the extremely hazy light and shadows and gaps, the blond man was swimming desperately towards the bottom of the sea.Those eyes full of hesitation and pain, I don't know what he is looking for, what he is afraid of.

Why do you want to come?

Since the past has been forgotten, why do you need to come today?

Kaoru Nishikujo held the dying middle-aged man and continued to hide in the depths.It is not so easy to find two people in the dark and overgrown seabed.She didn't want to meet Toru Amuro, she just waited for the middle-aged man to die, then pretended to escape by chance and went ashore by herself.

But she miscalculated the dying person's desire to survive.The middle-aged man exploded with great potential at the moment of life and death, and briefly broke away from her hand, creating a huge movement. Two or three seconds later, Toru Amuro broke through the water plants and appeared in front of Kaoru Nishikujo.

The not-so-bright moonlight also turned into fog on the bottom of the sea. Kaoru Nishikujo no longer hugged the middle-aged man, and was floating alone in the rushing water. She was born thin and looked as if she had broken free by accident. The hands of the bad guys are average.

Eyes intertwined in the cold and dark water, Toru Amuro suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly, his hands trembling slightly.

It seems to be saying-fortunately, I didn't lose you.

Kaoru Nishikujo lowered his eyelashes and twitched the corners of his mouth.

From the beginning to the end, she didn't hug back.

The middle-aged man wanted to take advantage of this gap to escape, but he didn't expect that he would die if he committed many injustices. After a few steps, he panicked and got entangled in water plants.The face is flushed due to lack of oxygen, and it is even more impossible to break free from aquatic plants.

It was only after Amuro released Kaoru Nishikujo that he noticed the middle-aged man who was entangled in water plants.He ignored the man who sent out the distress signal, and escorted Kaoru Nishikujo upstream.Kaoru Nishi Kujo understands him, this is not to give up the man, but he is used to giving priority to the safety of the hostages.

If it's someone else, just follow him.But this man, he must die.

Toru Amuro opened the way ahead, and Kaoru Nishikujo took the opportunity to slip back in front of the middle-aged man. He couldn't be more particular, grabbed his neck with both hands, and forcefully—

The moment the man died, her waist was embraced by a pair of strong arms, and she moved back.

He let go of his hand and turned back, his blue-gray eyes looked at her quietly.

Those eyes twinkled, a hand gently caressed her cheek, and then leaned over to her lips—giving her a sigh of relief.

I do not need.Kaoru Nishikujo wanted to say that.However, he could feel the careful sorrow and sadness in this almost a kiss.

She couldn't understand, this Toru Amuro was becoming more and more difficult for her to understand, where did his grief come from, and who was he grieving for?

After surfacing and climbing ashore, Toru Amuro immediately grabbed Kaoru Nishikujo's shoulder and looked up and down. "Is there any injury? Or is it uncomfortable?" Under the bright moonlight, there was nowhere to hide his concern.Drops of water rolled down the short blond hair to the cheeks, and then pooled on the chin, pattering to the ground.

The drenched Amuro, how could he be so pitiful and cute—Koru Nishikujo looked at him, as if the sea full of moonlight had poured in, just waiting to lure her into the abyss of eternal doom.

"...I'm fine." She said softly.His voice was slightly hoarse.

Toru Amuro hugged her tightly into his arms, more forcefully than underwater, and even made Kaoru Nishi Kujo feel a little uncomfortable. "Don't do such a dangerous thing again—"

Rei Furutani would speak to her in this tone before when she was angry, Kaoru Nishikujo subconsciously tightened her body, and dryly apologized: "I'm sorry——"

Amuro stroked the back of her head soothingly.

"Ahem——do you want to put on a towel first, or you will catch a cold."

Toru Amuro woke up suddenly and let go of Kaoru Nishikujo, looked at Mao Lilan who was holding a towel beside him, reached out to take one, his wet face instantly changed into an innocent expression, "Thank you Miss Lan, I'm just a little worried Miss Nishi Kujo, there is no other meaning." He added a superfluous explanation.

The little adult Edogawa Conan has already written "Don't try to lie to me" all over his face.

As soon as Kaoru Nishikujo came ashore, he noticed Mori Kogoro and others standing on the shore, and he was not surprised at the moment. Facing Edogawa Conan's probing eyes, he looked straight back, which made the latter panic hands and feet.

"It's good that people are fine, so what about the murderer? Has he escaped?" Mori Kogoro asked Toru Amuro, looking at the sea surface where the afterglow was shining.Edogawa Conan also pricked up his ears.

Kaoru Nishikujo paused as he wiped his hair, and after a while, he heard Toru Amuro's calm voice: "He was entangled in water plants. According to my estimation, he should be dead."

He glanced at Kaoru Nishikujo, her eyes were lowered, and the expression on her face was covered by a snow-white towel.

In fact, it doesn't matter if he tells the truth, she doesn't care.

The police quickly arrived at the beach.Kaoru Nishikujo heard their conversation with Mori Kogoro and knew that Dazai's substitute plan had been discovered by them (but they only knew that she replaced Miss Shinomiyain, and they didn't know who came up with the idea), and they were monitoring Li found out the direction she left, and then found the seaside all the way.

The body of the middle-aged man was brought up by the salvage team—the water in the sea is not very deep, and the salvage didn't take long.While waiting for the results of the autopsy, the police asked Kaoru Nishikujo, "Why did you pretend to be Miss Shinomiyain?"

Kaoru Nishikujo gave the policeman a strange look, "Did you ask the Shinomiya family about this?"

The policeman shook his head honestly, and Kaoru Nishikujo replied honestly: "Of course it is because of money, I am very short of money." Of course she can't tell the truth, in order to avoid being regarded as asking for money rather than life, she added: " Mr. Sigongyuan arranged someone to protect me, even if Mr. Amuro didn't show up just now, I will be fine."

The way Mr. Police looked at her had changed to looking at a poor fool who was cheated and didn't even know how to count the money.

"Can you tell us what happened to the deceased before he was underwater and drowned?" the police then asked.

"Let me tell you. She was frightened just now. I think it's better not to let her recall these things." Toru Amuro said.

The policeman graciously agreed.

"I was the first to rush to the beach. When I arrived, the deceased grabbed Miss Nishi Kujo and dived into the sea. I immediately jumped into the sea and chased them, but because the water was very dark and overgrown with weeds, what It took a while to find them, and the dead man was already entangled in water plants, and Miss Nishikujo just broke away from him."

"The water plants are very tightly entangled, and I deduce that it will be difficult to untie them for a while, so I chose to bring Miss Xi Jiutiao ashore first. I think that the deceased could not hold on at that time—because when we swam up past him, He's barely breathing."

"So it was all an accident?" The policeman nodded as he wrote the note.

"Ah, it's so strange! Sister Xun is so thin, but she can break away from a tall person like the deceased. I heard on TV that a drowning person will have great strength before death, and it is difficult to shake off. Sister Xun is really amazing !"

Kaoru Nishikujo raised his eyebrows and looked at Conan Edogawa with a half smile.

She has already said that it's good that Toru Amuro is willing to help her cover up, and she doesn't care if he really reveals the truth.Left and right Mori Ogai will not even be upset about such a small matter.What's more, she didn't cause these things for work!

So Edogawa Conan's little doubts have no power to her at all, she doesn't need to say anything more, just waved her hand and laughed a few times, Mori Kogoro snatched him away.

The policeman asked again: "Do you two know what happened to the pinch mark on the neck of the deceased?" He didn't suspect Kaoru Nishikujo at all, because she looked like a very weak girl, and she really didn't have that kind of viciousness. people.

Kaoru Nishikujo lied without any psychological burden: "I'm sorry, I don't know, it seems to have been there when I saw him." She yawned slightly, "Can I go after asking? I very tired."

"Of course, but Miss Nishikujo is closely related to this case, and you may need to go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation later."

That's troublesome, but a scumbag who dies when he dies.Let Dazai find a way to deal with it——

"I'll take Miss Nishikujo back." Toru Amuro held out his hand to Kaoru Nishikujo.Kaoru Nishikujo glanced at him, but still climbed up.

After all the twists and turns and busy work, it was already the middle of the night.The dark smell before dawn is lonely and quiet.There are no street lights on the way to the hotel.Kaoru Nishikujo and Toru Amuro walked slowly, one in front and one behind.The fairly bright moonlight casts two fuzzy overlapping figures.

The little man Amuro bumped his head against the shoulder of the little man Nishikujo, and Kaoru Nishikujo couldn't help but smile, and suddenly thought - a long time ago, after training hard for a long time, he must lie on his stomach like this when he came home On her shoulders, the slender eyelashes were closed, and the shallow breath brushed against her ears, as well-behaved as a speechless doll.

"Miss Nishi Kujo, it's just the two of us now, can you tell me why you did that just now?" A sudden questioning voice from behind woke her up from her memories.A gust of wind blows.

Far away from the seaside, the wind blowing still has an astringent taste. Kaoru Nishikujo seems to have just realized that spring has long passed and midsummer is coming.
