On the degree of adaptation between the police academy team and the guardian egg

After Toru Amuro said this, he observed Karasuma Kaoru's expression indiscriminately.

As a top intelligence officer, Toru Amuro is very good at getting the information he wants by trying to figure out the micro expressions of others.

He found that Kaoru Karasuma was surprised, but not surprised. ——She doesn't think it's wrong to say "my lover is this country" in her own capacity.

It seems that Kaoru Karasuma is aware of his identity as Rei Furutani.

But Toru Amuro didn't think it was very surprising, on the contrary, he had a feeling...it really was so.

After all, Kaoru Karasuma has always been very keen, especially in intelligence gathering.In such a short period of time before, he saw that there was another pusher behind the sleeping Kogoro and found out the identity of Okiya Subaru, for which he felt ashamed.

I just don't know where I was exposed?

Fortunately, Kaoru Karasuma is a member of their public security. It would be too bad if the organization had such a keen person.

Toru Amuro immediately showed his trademark sunny smile: "Haha, I'm just kidding, Officer Karasuma, don't take it seriously."

"Is this an alternative declaration for a single dog?" Kaoru Karasuma tilted his head slightly and teased.

Toru Amuro smiled and asked, "Does Police Officer Karasuma have a boyfriend?"

Karasuma shrugged: "What a coincidence, my lover is also from this country."

Toru Amuro couldn't help laughing.

The two laughed together.

**

We all sat on the lawn and had lunch together.

"Clap."

A drop of water the size of a soybean fell onto Karasuma Kaoru's plate.

"Clap clap clap."

Another two drops of rain fell on the top of Karasuma Kaoru's head.

She raised her head belatedly, and was caught in the drenching.

"Crackling crackling!"

The originally sunny sky suddenly became gloomy at some point, and it began to rain heavily, with large swaths of dark clouds sweeping in, accompanied by violent squalls.

A bolt of lightning pierced the sky.

With a bang, silver-purple lightning struck a big tree obliquely in front of them.

The redwood tree is 40 meters high, and its thick trunk can barely be surrounded by three adults with their arms open. ——It is precisely because this tree is the tallest tree in the past, and the branches and leaves on the top of the tree are sharp, so it is easy to attract lightning.

Visible to the naked eye, this redwood tree that has stood for nearly a hundred years began to crack from top to bottom at a terrifying speed. The dark cracks did not stop until the middle and lower parts of the thick trunk, splitting the redwood tree directly into two parts. The third section collapsed with a bang, blowing black smoke, and rolled down the slope with an indomitable momentum.

Karasuma and the others quickly picked up the children and ran to a safe place.

The huge redwood tree crushed all the tents and tableware they set up for camping, rolled them under and rolled down the broken surface, and finally made a loud noise again, and lay in the middle of the road that must be passed down the mountain. A large cloud of gray dust was splashed.

Kaoru Karasuma looked at each other with an Edogawa Conan in his hand.

Kaoru Karasuma looked at the sudden accident, showing half-moon eyes: "So...we can't go back today?"

Edogawa Conan looked at the large piece of broken wood in the middle of the road, which was a giant compared to the narrow mountain road, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried: "I think so, the rescue team will not be able to rebuild the road until tomorrow at least." Clean it up."

Kaoru Karasuma suddenly blessed his heart: "Conan-kun, why do I feel that every time I meet you, it seems that there will be a disaster from heaven? Police officer Megure always says that Detective Mori is cursed, but in fact the person who is really cursed is always following Detective Mori Are you by my side?"

Edogawa Conan twitched his mouth: "...it should be just a coincidence, just a coincidence."

Although he said this, he did feel a little guilty.

I don't know what's going on, since he was in the second year of high school, the case can always hit him in various ways, especially after he became Conan Edogawa, it was out of control.

The more Kaoru Karasuma thought about it, the more something went wrong.

It turned out that she thought that after giving birth to the guardian sweetheart, she magically possessed the accident system of the protagonist of the comics. As a policeman, she doesn't have to find the case by herself, the case will come to her automatically.

But thinking about it now, every time she encounters a case or some accident, there is basically Conan Edogawa!

And her little cousin's room escape experience hall encountered a murder case, couldn't it be because she gave Edogawa Conan and the others a ticket?

Kaoru Karasuma is in a bad mood: "Conan-kun, last time you went to the secret room opened by my little cousin to escape, did you encounter a murder case?"

Edogawa Conan vaguely guessed why Karasuma brought up this matter, and said with a stiff face: "Yes, a staff member who played the corpse was killed."

Kaoru Karasuma: "..."

It turns out that the culprit in the waterloo of my little cousin's entrepreneurial journey is the cursed elementary school student in front of me.

It seems that she will have to send a big red envelope to her little cousin later.

**

Because of a sudden disaster, the way down the mountain was blocked, so they had no choice but to go up the mountain.

The location they were in was halfway up the mountain, and there happened to be a villa on the top of the mountain——the Twilight Villa.

Everyone braved the pouring rain and drove to the Twilight Villa.

Under the cover of dark clouds, the twilight pavilion on the top of the black tower looks even more gloomy.

Karasuma knocked on the door.

The one who came to open the door was a young maid in kimono: "Hello, are you...?"

"Hello, I'm Kaoru Karasuma." Kaoru Karasuma explained to the maid why he came and the accident that happened on the mountain road.

When the maid heard Karasuma Kaoru introduce her name, her eyes flickered slightly, but she quickly resumed her professional smile: "Please wait a moment, I have to speak to the master and wife first."

After about 5 minutes, the maid came back again and welcomed everyone in.

The hostess of this family also came out of the living room. The other party was dressed elegantly and decently, wearing a simple white kimono. She looked about 50 or [-] years old, with a gentle smile on her well-maintained face.

"I'm Chiyo Saito. Thanks to you all the way, if you don't mind, come take a hot bath with me in the guest room on the second floor and change your wet clothes?"

"It's really troublesome Mrs. Saito."

Mrs. Saito Chiyo seemed to like children very much. She gently took the hands of Aomi and Haibara, and whispered to the children that she still had the clothes her son and daughter had when they were young, which was just right for them to wear.

Kaoru Karasuma turned his eyes around the brown stains on the entrance and the handrail, and frowned slightly.

After arriving at the guest room on the second floor, Kaoru Karasuma closed the door, her expression gradually becoming serious.

"Matsuda-senpai, Hagiwara-senpai, Mobushi-senpai, have you noticed that there are brown stains like dried blood in many places in this house?"

Matsuda Jinpei looked around the room, then flew to the window sill.

There is also a brown stain in the gap of the window sill. Matsuda Jinping smelled it closely, touched it with his hand, and then shook his head: "It has been too long since these traces were left. If we don't use special tools to test the blood reaction , I am afraid there is no way to directly identify it.”

Kenji Hagiwara rubbed his chin: "Could it be that the massacre in the Twilight Annex 40 years ago is real? Kaoru, have you found relevant information on the Internet?"

Kaoru Karasuma shook his head: "40 years ago, the Internet was not popularized, so it was easy to hide something...Ah Choo."

Karasuma's nose itched and she sneezed.

Zhu Fu Jingguang hurriedly pushed her into the bathroom: "Xiao Xun, go take a shower and change your clothes first, don't catch a cold. It's been so long, so there's no rush."

It is easy to catch cold if you wear wet clothes all the time.

Kaoru Karasuma pulled out a few small towels for Matsuda Jinhei and the others to dry off the water on their bodies, and then took the change of clothes brought by the maid, Miss Senken, into the bathroom and took a battle bath.

The dress that Miss Qianjian brought was also a kimono, the rose red fabric was dotted with light pink cherry blossom patterns, it was said that it was a new dress Mrs. Saito had just bought for her daughter, and had not been worn yet.

Kaoru Karasuma put on a kimono, which fit well, but the bust and hips were a little smaller, and a part of her ankle was exposed.

Karasuma looked in the mirror and felt pretty good, so she took the hair dryer and left the bathroom.

She opens the bathroom door.

I saw Matsuda Jinpei spread the towel on the table, and was lying and rolling on it unrestrainedly.

Hagiwara Kenji struggled to fold the towel, which was too big and heavy for his 10cm body, into a small piece. He held the towel in his small hand and tried to maintain an elegant posture, wiping the water stains on his body.

Zhu Fu Jingguang spread the towel over his body, revealing only his wet little head, and let the towel attached to his body absorb the water in a leisurely manner.

Kaoru Karasuma: "!" Open the door and hit!

She felt her heart was hit instantly.

God!This is too cute!

Kaoru Karasuma skillfully took out his mobile phone and took ten consecutive shots, then eagerly approached them with a hair dryer and stretched out his claws.

"Matsuda-senpai, Hagiwara-senpai, Zhufu-senpai, let me help you."

With a mischievous smile on his face, Kaoru Karasuma grabbed a little Matsuda and blew his curly hair all over.

Five minutes later, Matsuda Jinpei stood in front of the window with an afro head straight into the sky, looked at the silhouette reflected on the window, and fell silent.

Hagiwara Kenji laughed at Matsuda Jinpei's "new hairstyle" while trying to escape.

But how could Hagiwara Kenji's small body escape, being blocked by Karasuma Kaoru in the corner for drying.

The delicate boy Hagiwara Kenji sighed helplessly while holding his crumpled and out-of-shape clothes.

Finally, Kaoru Karasuma turned to look at Zhu Fujingguang with still insatiable interest.

Amidst the noisy sound of the blower, Zhu Fu Jingguang showed a helpless and gentle smile to Karasuma Kaoru.

Kaoru Karasuma: "!"

Hey, I suddenly feel that I can't do it anymore.

Karasuma Kaoru didn't act like a demon anymore, she finished blowing to Zhu Fu Jingguang steadily, and finally dried her hair before walking out.

Not long after Karasuma opened the door, a door next to it also opened.

Toru Amuro came out of the room holding the phone with the screen on.

He was wearing a navy blue men's kimono.However, Amuro has long hands and feet, and the kimono is obviously a bit shorter on his body.

Fortunately, with the support of Toru Amuro's appearance, it doesn't look too obtrusive.

Seeing Kaoru Karasuma, Amuro showed a smile: "Officer Karasuma, Conan-kun just said that Mrs. Saito has taken them to the living room on the first floor, shall we go down together?"

"Okay."

Kaoru Karasuma and Toru Amuro walked forward side by side.

Toru Amuro suddenly said "Hey": "Officer Karasuma, the belt behind you seems to be falling apart."

"Huh?" Kaoru Karasuma looked back at the big bow behind her, and found that it was about to collapse.

"Let me help you." Toru Amuro approached slightly, untied the loose bow on her back, and then tightened it again, tying a beautiful bow.

Kaoru Karasuma felt the slight tightening of her waist, turned her head to look at Toru Amuro, and found that he was lowering his purple-gray eyes, carefully helping her tie the belt, and carefully adjusted the angle of the bow and the shape of the bow. size.

"Mr. Amuro, thank you, I really trouble you."

Kaoru Karasuma suddenly felt a little hot in his ears, and scratched his ears, feeling very embarrassed.

It’s okay if ordinary colleagues or friends help each other, but it’s replaced by Mr. Furutani... After joining the zero team this month, although I didn’t meet Mr. Furutani directly, I also received an email instruction from Mr. Furutani. And all kinds of admiration speeches from colleagues to Mr. Furutani—especially the overt and secret flattery from Chief Kazami.

This undoubtedly deepened Karasuma's impression of Mr. Furutani's rigorous and prudent, vigorous and resolute, uncompromising, and profound city government.

She, an outsider, is a little uncomfortable with the difference between "Amuro Toru" and "Furuya Rei", and she doesn't know how Mr. Furuya seamlessly switches between these two identities?

**

Kaoru Karasuma and Toru Amuro came to the living room led by the maid, Miss Sengen.

There are already many people sitting in the living room.

Everyone introduced themselves to each other.

In addition to the Boy Detective Team, Okiya Subaru, and Wakasa Rumi who were accompanying them, there were also Mr. Saito and Mrs. Saito, the current owners of the Twilight Annex, Naoichiro Saito, the son of the Saito couple, and Mr. Kusakabe, the real estate agent. And Mr. Ogami Zhushan, a well-known detective in the industry.

Mr. Osami Zhushan also came here after hearing the rumors about the Twilight Annex, and intends to buy the Twilight Annex.

Mr. Saito was wearing a white kimono—the Saito family seemed to like wearing kimonos very much. Whether it was the Saito couple, the maid lady, or the clothes lent to them, they were all kimonos.

Mr. Saito and Mrs. Saito have similar personalities, they are both old-fashioned and gentle, but there seems to be an indelible sadness on their faces.

Mr. Saito turned his head to look at the pouring rain outside the window, and sighed deeply.

"It seems that other people who intend to buy the Twilight Villa will not be able to come today or tomorrow."

Karasuma noticed that Mr. Saito emphasized today and tomorrow: "Is Mr. Saito in a hurry to spend money?"

"That's true." Mr. Saito said, and gave Saito Naoichiro a sullen look, "I am an unfilial son, and I am obsessed with betting on horses. My eyes became red and I owed sky-high debts."

Naoichiro Saito was reprimanded by his father, and he didn't show the slightest expression of guilt or remorse on his face. He continued to swipe his phone with Erlang's legs crossed, without raising his head.

Seeing this, Mr. Saito became even more angry, clutching his heart, and almost breathless: "How could I have given birth to you, an unfilial son! What a misfortune for the family, misfortune for the family!"

Mrs. Saito quickly comforted him.

Grand Master Zhu Shan took the opportunity to intervene and said: "Mr. Saito, calm down, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. I have also been in trouble these years. I managed to make a name for myself. In the end, my son didn't live up to my expectations and defeated me." We have a lot of family wealth, and we managed to scrape together 20 billion yen these days. Mr. Saito, for the sake of our two old fathers, can you give me a price?"

Saito-san showed a hesitant expression.

Kaoru Karasuma raised his hand: "I can pay the full amount in one lump sum!"

When Mr. Saito heard this, he instantly showed surprise in his eyes.

"I'm sorry Ogami-san, I've decided to sell the Twilight Annex to Ms. Karasuma."

No one saw that after being rejected by Mr. Saito, Ogami Zhushan's expression turned ferocious for a moment.

The real estate agency was here, and the two parties quickly signed a contract, and the bank also completed the transfer transaction.

24 billion yen, equivalent to less than 900 million U.S. dollars, is not much for Karasuma's nine-figure account -- measured in U.S. dollars.

From now on, Kaoru Karasuma is the actual owner of the Twilight Annex.

Originally, the Saito couple thought it would take a long time to argue, but under the influence of Kaoru Karasuma's money ability, it was settled in less than an hour.

Since they can't go back for the time being, everyone will be free to move around in the evening pavilion first, and they will go back when the rain stops and the trees on the way down the mountain are removed—but it looks like it will probably have to wait until tomorrow.

Kaoru Karasuma took three ten-centimeter seniors to continue searching for clues in the Twilight Annex to see if they could find any clues that could prove the tragedy in the Twilight Annex 40 years ago.

Before I knew it, it was night, and Kaoru Karasuma also grasped a lot of clues.

After dinner, Kaoru Karasuma returned to the room and sorted out the relevant findings with Matsuda Jinpei and the others.

Matsuda Jinhei took the lead and said: "I prepared a simple version of the luminol reagent, and after testing, I found that the brown stains that were difficult to erase were indeed blood stains. It seems that the tragedy in the Twilight Pavilion 40 years ago was not completely fabricated."

Zhu Fu Jingguang was thoughtful: "But these bloodstains are almost distributed in every corner of the Twilight Villa, in the entrance hall, living room, corridor, and room... What happened back then?"

Kaoru Karasuma nodded, showing a pensive expression: "It seems that 40 years ago my grandfather's father's grandfather invited scholars to find the treasure in the Twilight Villa, and designed the possibility of these scholars dying in the villa. I am also A small piece of code written in blood was found at the bottom of the piano in the study on the third floor, and those lines of code seemed to hint at the location of the treasure in the Twilight Pavilion."

Hagiwara Kenji touched his chin, and was about to say something when he heard a terrified scream.

Kaoru Karasuma's heart skipped a beat, and he exchanged glances with the three of them, seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

They rushed out.

Outside the study door on the third floor, Mrs. Saito fell to the ground with a pale complexion.

Kaoru Karasuma ran over to take a look, but saw Mr. Saito lying on the ground covered in blood, with a pair of scissors and glass shards falling on the ground.

She touched the other person's pulse, then shook her head: "It's hopeless."

After hearing the movement, other people also ran over one after another.

Edogawa Conan immediately began to check the scene.

A thought flashed through Karasuma's mind: Edogawa Conan was not only cursed, but also cursed by the god of death, right?Where do you go, where will there be homicides?

Kaoru Karasuma glanced across Conan Edogawa, and then landed on Rumi Wakasa, frowning.

what happened?The depression and murderous aura on her almost turned into substance.

A flash of spiritual light flashed, and in the blink of an eye, Kaoru Karasuma suddenly remembered!

Today's murder case is very similar to the case of Koji Haneda 17 years ago!

There was also a pair of scissors on the ground, and a piece of debris on the ground. If you look carefully, there are also subtle indentations in the palm of the deceased's right hand.

Previously, based on Wakasa Rumi's superb force value and the shogi they carried with them, Karasuma and Toru Amuro suspected that the other party was Asaka, the bodyguard of the other deceased Amanda who killed Koji Haneda and took away the other party's shogi 17 years ago.

Coupled with her current reaction...

Were scissors, splinters, and palm indentations a particular modus operandi?Or did the deceased deliberately leave a message to hint at the murderer's death before dying?

Rumi Wakasa's reaction was so strong, which shows the criticality of the problem.

Perhaps after solving this case, the case of Koji Haneda 17 years ago can be solved together?
