How to start Meursault

Five days after the night when Misue Fumie and Fukawa Chie fell to their deaths, Edogawa Conan was asked to take a record at the Metropolitan Police Department again—after all, he was the last person who had a conversation with Fukawa Chie before his death. one person.

It's just that, this time, it was not the police officers from the first search section that he was familiar with who took notes for him, but two strange and very serious police officers.

"'Even some parts that may be regarded as stains in the eyes of ordinary people, it doesn't seem to be a big deal on her', are you sure Chie Tomikawa said so?" One of the male police officers obviously thought that Conan, a seven-year-old first grader, Elementary school students should not have such a clear memory, nor should their logic be so smooth, so they double-checked.

"Well, I'm sure."

"Little brother Conan, in your last record, you said to Chie Tomikawa 'if she is threatened' at the end, can you tell me why you thought so at that time?" another policewoman asked.

"It's just intuition. I saw that Miss Fu Chuan seemed to care about her mobile phone, and because He saw her brother saying that Miss Sanmo's mobile phone should be taken away by criminals, so I felt something was wrong."

"And before she jumped off the building, she shook her head at you, didn't she?"

"Ah."

After being asked the question and walking out of the room, Conan bought a can of coffee from the vending machine at the police station.

But when he was about to get the coffee can that rolled down, a hand reached out and took the coffee first, and pressed another bottle of juice for him.

"...He sees brother?" Conan, who was stuffed with a bottle of juice, was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized, "Are you also asked to come here to make a new record?"

I don't know when he came to Conan's side, it seems to be Hejian Jingren.

By the way, his face is cold, probably in the personality of a detective.

"Did you come alone?" Without answering Conan's question, He Jian asked with a slight frown.

"It's Dr. A Li, an old man who knows me very well brought me here." After subconsciously answering with a good boy's attitude, Conan suddenly realized that He Jian should not be the same as him to take notes—because Uncle Mao Li He was not asked to redo the transcript, and He Jian did not go upstairs again that night like Uncle Mao Li.

Sure enough, He Jian's next sentence was: "I'm here because of another case. Since you have been asked to make a new record, probably Fu Chuan Qianzhi's case of jumping from a building has been handed over."

indeed so.Conan still remembered what he overheard after finishing the transcript—the two strange policemen were from the crime countermeasures department.

As the name suggests, this class is mainly responsible for investigating organized crimes, such as various extreme/daoist forces in the country.In fact, in theory, the black organization should also be in charge of this class, but the Japanese police who are in charge of this aspect as Conan knows are public security.

For some reason, the recent cases re-arranged in Conan's mind.

——It seems that since the Woodpecker Club, he has been encountering such organized crime-related cases.Bin Zhongcao, whom the two met in the afternoon when they fell from the building, was actually closely related to organized crime as a criminal consultant.

One characteristic of organized crime is that simple detectives are of little use and are prone to various dangers.Conan remembered bitterly that he was forced to become 'Edogawa Conan' from Kudo Shinichi because he was trying to investigate the black organization, and the task of solving the black organization and developing an antidote to grow back seemed to be far away from completion.

"Brother Hejian, the uncle who was with you that day... did he do anything after that?" Conan gathered his thoughts, and asked him a question that he was more worried about.

Since the case was determined to be related to organized crime, the vicious-looking man was probably a member of a gang, and he wanted to leave in a hurry because he didn't want to stay in front of so many policemen.

"You mean Mr. Yushan? He is actually a subordinate of my last client, and he just accompanied me in the investigation. I haven't seen him since that commission was over." He Jian replied, "Conan-kun, Yushan is a Good guy, but his job is rather special."

If it is a serious detective, the details of the commission must never be disclosed, and the insiders will never ask.However, the habits of high school detectives are less particular about this aspect, or Conan himself has a preference for getting to the bottom of the matter, and this point has not changed fundamentally after he gradually became cautious.

"He Jiangege, that uncle glared at me several times..." Conan said skillfully in the tone of a primary school student, "Entrust..."

"The commission has been cancelled."

He Jian's words made Conan raise his head suddenly.

If it is an ordinary entrustment cancellation, of course it is fine, but since the client is the boss who is likely to be a member of the extreme/dao, it means that he may also be a member of the extreme/dao. He did not dare to directly ask the content of the entrustment. this.This order is cancelled——

"I asked for it on my own initiative. I don't want to go into some muddy waters." As if knowing what Conan was thinking, He Jian said flatly, "Although it is said to be looking for lost items, I think it would be better not to recover them. Let the police in this country worry about it."

There was a faint smile in the eyes of the boy holding the coffee can.

Hearing He Jian's words, he thought it was He Jian who handed over the client's illegal commission to the police. Conan breathed a sigh of relief, pretended to be obedient and left, not noticing He Jian's gaze for a long time lingering on his back.

The next day was Sunday (although any day could be Sunday), and Conan, who had nothing important to deal with, was dragged to a nearby open field to play football by several members of the Detective Boys.

It is said to be an open space, but it is actually the bottom of an unfinished building with a high ground floor. Recently, the barbed wire surrounding the outside has somehow broken a big hole, so it has not had time to become a homeless site. Primary school students marked it down as a secret base.

Although Conan usually thinks that he doesn't really 'mix' with the elementary school students, but it's a different matter when he is playing football.So only Hui Yuanai was sitting on the stairs next to him reading a book, while a fake elementary school student and three real elementary school students had a great time playing football.

After spending more than half an hour in this way, without the five people realizing it, a middle-aged man was terrified and ran along the barbed wire hunchback in shortness of breath.After seeing the hole that was only about half a meter high, he pressed himself into a ball desperately trying to get through it without even thinking about it.

The man's size was not big enough to pass through the hole, but perhaps because of fear, he succeeded in the end—at the cost of several cuts on his clothes, as well as his skin.

After going through the hole, he didn't forget to turn around and use his sleeve to wipe off the thread ends caught on the barbed wire and the blood stained on it, and then ran towards the unfinished building.

At this time, it is impossible not to be discovered by Conan and others.The five elementary school students just watched a middle-aged man in ragged clothes rush into the building and hide as if desperately.

Ayumi Mitsuhiko and Genta hadn't reacted yet, but Conan and Haibara exchanged a look, and they both knew that something was wrong-the man was obviously running for his life.

If the men who were chasing the man came, who knew if they would hurt the child.

But before the two of them forcibly pulled the three real elementary school students away, someone walked over from a distance outside the barbed wire.

Conan pulled in the high-tech glasses made by the doctor and took a look. The black clothes, sunglasses, and scars on his face made his heart tighten.

This attire, plus it seems to be chasing someone——

"Huihara." Conan turned his head and glanced at the girl beside him seriously.

"—Probably not." Hui Yuanai shook his head lightly.She didn't feel the aura of the people from the black organization.

If not, the status quo is nothing to be optimistic about.

If he was the only one, Conan might subconsciously take a risk and try to track him down, but no one around him has the slightest power to protect himself. At this time, he can only think of a way to make the chaser think that no one has come. up.

He looked at the football rolling to his feet, and simply kicked the ball towards the barbed wire, and at the same time shouted in a childish and artificial voice: "Let's see who catches the ball first!"

Then immediately ran after the ball.And the three real elementary school students also ran quickly under the signal of Huiyuan's eyes.

At first glance, several children are playing football normally.

And under Conan's precise footwork, the football finally got out of the hole in the barbed wire, and then stopped at the feet of the visitor in black.

So Conan naturally went out of the hole to pick up the ball by himself, while the group of four behind him stopped at a certain distance and waited for him.

"Little brother, did anyone pass by here just now?"

As Conan expected, the man in black picked up the ball and handed it to him while asking questions.

He scratched his head pretending to remember, and said, "I've been playing here all the time, so I don't seem to have any impression."

After being debunked by Amuro Toru Kusuda Rikudo's second answer, Conan will no longer make this kind of mistake.

"Really not? Can you recall it again?" Seemingly sure that someone passed by here, the man in black asked again, and this time the tone was a little impatient.

Conan showed a frightened expression, and replied a little fluently: "Okay, it seems that someone ran towards that side. I'm not sure."

"What color is he wearing?"

"... I remember it was white." Conan replied according to the color of the jacket of the hiding man.

Finally, the hand holding the ball on the other side let go.The man in black wearing sunglasses looked suspiciously at the unfinished building inside the barbed wire again, then glanced at the hole a little more than half a meter away, and ran towards the direction Conan pointed.

Conan waited until the man in black left for several minutes and showed no signs of coming back, before returning with the ball in his arms.

With a serious expression, he walked through the other four members of the Boy Detective Team, and walked up the only staircase in the Unfinished Building—for just a moment, the man who rushed in at the beginning had already hid on the third floor.

"Why did that man chase you down?" He asked, looking at the man who was huddled and looking out of the cement window.

no respond.

So Conan asked instead: "Need to call the police—"

"Don't call the police!"

Almost instantly, the other party shouted with a suppressed voice.

"Don't call the police." The man repeated with a horrified expression.
