In the dark, the five senses except vision are clearer than usual, and the sound of water drops is endless, recording the passage of time like the second hand of a clock.

Banjing Taoshui first held his breath, listening to all the sounds around him.She vaguely heard buzzing sounds at relatively fixed intervals. At first, because the sound was too small, she couldn't hear what the sound was, but after a few rings, she finally recognized it.

Is this... the sound of a ship's whistle?

The ship whistle is used to signal, for example, one long whistle means the ship leaves the dock or berth; six short whistles means the ship is in danger and calls for help.

Banjing Taoshui sniffed the smell in the air carefully, and the tip of his nose moved slightly: the smell of rust and mold——damp; the ground that his toes could touch was soft, and the smell of grass, flowers and soil was obvious, and the other party didn’t care about it after he kidnapped her. Possibly throw her out in the open—not indoors, not outdoors, but surrounded by rich vegetation; faint smell of asphalt, latex paint, and formaldehyde—newly renovated.

Momizu Hani, who had firmly memorized the map of Yokohama in his mind for a long time, seemed to have a gray three-dimensional three-dimensional image in front of him. As his thinking unfolded, he colored the image bit by bit.

Can't hear cars - away from the street.

Can't hear people - away from crowds.

With siren sound - near the harbor area.

Not indoors nor outdoors, with lots of plants around, renovated within four months... What the hell is this place?

The memory fragments were patching the imaginary gray three-dimensional image, and when it reached the seaside cemetery, it stopped suddenly.

Three months ago, she just returned to Yokohama. When she went to visit Oda's grave, she saw that the cemetery keeper's residence had just been renovated.The ground under his feet is dirt instead of a renovated floor, so it should be a cellar or an underground warehouse.

"Grrrrrrr-"

The slight sound of the clods and silt being scraped away reached Banjing Taoshui's ears, and after a while, a small brown animal came out of the gap in the corner of the room.

"Your nose is really good." Banjing Taoshui raised the corners of his lips slightly, "I'm finally waiting for you, little boy~"

"Ow!"

The little monkey called out.

"Is there a guard outside? Call once if there is one, call twice if not."

The little monkey called out.

There are guards around, which means that 01 can contact here at any time, as long as Banjing Taoshui makes any rash moves, the miniature pistol in her neck will be detonated, and she will die within a few seconds.

Not only can she not move casually, but the rescuer can't move casually either.

"Stupid, please do one thing."

***

The house of Dr. Ali in Mihua Town, Tokyo.

"Doctor, play this recording again." Hui Yuanai said.

"Oh, good." Dr. Ari played the recording restored in the multi-functional pen again, and this recording happened to be the transaction scene between the Black Organization and the "Mirror Man" recorded by Hani Momozui in Kabukicho.

The pen is a pen that Banjing Momozu asked Dr. Ari to repair.Dr. A Li repaired the pen and restored the damaged audio file by the way, but the freshness of the playback was heard by Hui Yuanai.

"This voice is very familiar. I heard this voice when I was still in the Black Organization." Hui Yuanai said to Dr. A Li and Conan: "The other party said that he is a researcher from the Ministry of Health and Welfare and wants to sell a research result. to the organization."

"Ministry of Health and Welfare?" Conan squeezed his chin and thought for a while, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

"Hey, Ms. Hani... eh? I remember the call was correct. Officer Sato, why... Ms. Hani was involved in the murder case? Okay, I see, can I ask the specific situation... Well, thank you .”

Conan hung up the phone and said, "Banjing Taoshui has been involved in the murder case again, and is now being questioned by the police."

"What are you going to do, Mr. Detective?" Hui Yuanai teased in a joking tone.

"I always feel that something is wrong." Conan subconsciously rested his chin with his right hand, and said, "Officer Sato said that the murderer this time is related to a psychiatrist, and like the case of Unabara Matsuri, it also involves Banjing Momozu. The female voice in the recording has something to do with the Ministry of Health... Is it a coincidence? Or some kind of conspiracy?"

Huiyuan Ai shook his head: "Whether the female voice in the recording is the person I said, there is no way to be sure. We have no way to investigate, even if there is a recording, the Ministry of Health and Welfare will not talk to us, it is a government department after all. "

Conan thought for a while, "If you are an investigator of an armed detective agency, you should be able to take the recording to the Ministry of Health and Welfare for investigation."

He dialed again.

"Mr. Dazai, I'm Conan Edogawa. I have Ms. Hanai's recording pen, and we found a problem."

A few hours later, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department—

"Mr. Sakaguchi from the Ability Secret Service Division called before, saying that something happened to Ms. Banjing. I was really shocked at that time. It turns out that what he said happened was this kind of thing."

After receiving the news from the police, Atsushi Nakajima, who came to the Metropolitan Police Department to pick him up, looked relieved. "Miss Banjing, why have you become a criminal suspect again?"

"I also feel very unlucky." 01, who was disguised as Banjing Taosui, sighed, "The boy who was killed confessed to me before."

"Eh—?!!" Atsushi Nakajima widened his eyes in surprise. "Then, Miss Banjing refused?"

"Of course I refused! Then the boy said that he wanted to take a photo with me. Although the confession failed, he still wanted to take a souvenir. I thought it was not a big deal, so I took it... Who knew he was killed within a few hours , the latest photo on the phone is the one that took me."

"Is the case solved?"

"It was solved before you came here. The case is not complicated. It is a murder of passion. The murderer is his girlfriend... to be precise, one of his girlfriends."

"One of them..." Atsushi Nakajima twitched the corners of his lips, and said clearly, "So the reason for being killed was because of love and hatred?"

"Guess right! According to the police, when the girl went to her boyfriend's house, she found that he was sleeping with her best friend. She stood in the yard for a while, and finally chopped up both boyfriend and girlfriend with a saw in the yard. died."

Atsushi Nakajima scratched his hair, "I just passed by the police office, and I heard them say a few words, what is the Yamazaki Counseling Room, is it related to this case?"

"Oh, the girlfriend who killed her boyfriend has been seeing a psychiatrist before. In the Haiyuan Festival murder case, the high school boy also had psychological problems. It happened that their psychiatrists were the same, so the police wondered if it was this psychiatrist. deliberately led them to commit crimes."

"If this is the case, it's quite scary." Nakajima Atsushi said with emotion.

01 followed Atsushi Nakajima back to Yokohama, and instead of going to the apartment rented by Hanjing Momomizu, he went to the Dazai dormitory across the street.She dug out the key from Banjing Taoshui's backpack and entered the house.

There was no one in the room, so she looked around. "Hmm... Osamu Dazai, this person is too dangerous, so we should get rid of him first?"

There was the sound of the keyhole turning at the door, 01 raised his head, and his eyes met Dazai who opened the door.

"Yo, you're back~" 01 waved at Dazai, his language and behavior were the same as usual Banjing Momosui.

"You came back quite early." Dazai looked away, casually hung the windbreaker on the coat hook in the entrance, loosened the tie around the collar of his shirt, and raised his head again.

"It feels like you looked quite happy just now. What good happened today?" Dazai raised the corners of his lips, and his deep eyes fell on the girl's face, as if staring from an abyss.

The eyes of the two met again.

"Can you tell me, MOMO-chan~"
