Conan-san was not polite to me at all, and went straight to the point when we met, "Ruri, I want to ask about Sera. Xiaolan said that you and that guy seem to be old acquaintances. How much do you know?"

I answered seriously: "She is a girl. Although she likes to dress more neutrally, according to my observation, her sexual orientation is still heterosexual. You don't have to worry that she will seduce Xiaolan."

"..." Conan made an expression as if he wanted to jump up and kick my knee, "I don't want to inquire about this!"

I tilted my head, and Conan's face darkened, probably trying to make the topic sound serious, "That guy, don't you think there's anything fishy about it?"

"Eh? If you want to say something suspicious..." I recalled for a while, "She seems to be particularly curious about you and is always asking Xiaolan about you. Does this count?"

Conan was stunned, "But from my perspective, she inquires about you more frequently."

"Ah? Really?" I was also stunned and looked at him with big eyes and small eyes for a moment.

Conan scratched his head irritably: "Ah, really, where did that brat come from—!"

"She's a girl." I reminded calmly.

Conan clicked his tongue, "That guy seems to be very interested in Haiyuan, although I feel that she is not from the black organization... But, in short, you know our affairs, you must be more careful, don't The news leaked."

I laughed: "Don't worry, have you ever seen me hold you back?"

Conan looked at me with a worried expression, without any awareness that he was the one who often almost leaked information about Xiaolan.

I followed his example and smacked my tongue, "But, don't you think that kid is a bad person?"

"Well." Conan fell into deep thought, "I always have a feeling that I have seen her somewhere... Speaking of which, since you and her are old acquaintances, could it be that I met her with you when we were children?"

I shrugged, "Unfortunately, my memory is clear, not really."

Conan refused to give up: "Then can you tell me about you and her? Maybe I can recall some clues."

"Well, okay..." I frowned and recalled, "I met her about four years ago, on the day of the cultural festival. Toru-kun was playing with me in school that day, and as a result, I received an emergency work notice. , I followed him to the tram stop. When he met his colleagues at the platform, we met Kosera. It seems that Toru-kun’s colleague is Kosera’s brother... We just chatted for a while, because Xiao Seriang was very cute, so I remembered her. But I only met her once in the past, and then she transferred to our class."

"You mean, Mr. Amuro's colleague?" Conan grasped the point, "Do you know what kind of colleague he is?"

"I don't know. Toru-kun's job has changed a lot, and he does a lot of work. Except for his part-time detective job, which he has been persisting in, he has only briefly tried his main job in various industries over the years." I half He half-seriously said, "As for the colleague that time... I can only guess that it was probably the colleague who formed a band with him, because they all carried instrument bags that day."

Conan fell into deep thought again, "The band..."

I bent down and looked at him expectantly, "How are you doing? Did you remember anything?"

Conan sighed, "Not really."

"Oh, you can't do that, little brother." I straightened up with a smile, "Then I'll leave first."

"What, are you okay?" The little detective, as always, would not contain his infinite curiosity, "Where are you going?"

"Well, Tohru-kun told me two days ago that the curry sold in a newly opened restaurant in Sanmachi is said to be very delicious. He asked me to try it when I have time. If I like it, I can pack a portion and take it home. He will study how to do it." I clicked my abacus, "Didn't you make an appointment with Hattori at Xiaolan's house today? He probably brought a case from afar to play with you again, so what's happening around here today? The streets should be safe, so wouldn't this be a good opportunity for me to open up a new map?"

Thinking about it this way, I am really smart.

Conan twitched his lips and rolled his eyes, "You must have had a crazy life."

——So, it should be like that.

Today was supposed to be a peaceful, smooth, and happy day for me to open up a new map, but the FBI’s Kamal investigator rushed out of the bathroom with a dark face and shouted: “Someone died in there! Call the police! No one is allowed to leave until the police arrive!" That moment was shattered.

The waiter who came to me was so frightened that he dropped the plate of curry rice that should have been placed in front of me all over the floor.

I looked at the food that was broken on the floor with distress, and suddenly the words "how could this be so" came to my mind.

My stomach growled with hunger, and my heart became extremely heavy.

A cute and cute girl with a single ponytail and a Kansai accent called four detectives, Hattori, Conan, Uncle Mori and Sera, as well as a family member named Ran.

Conan, who had just been separated and was forced to meet again, the moment he saw me, he immediately said "poof" with schadenfreude. Facing my angry gaze, he suppressed laughter while quibbling: "Don't look at me like that. You can’t blame me this time, can you?”

"No," I gritted my teeth and said angrily, "it's your fault."

"You are an unreasonable woman." He rolled his half-moon eyes, "How on earth did Mr. Amuro tolerate you?"

"Hey you brat!" I shouted, "I still want to know how Xiaolan tolerates you!"

Xiaolan laughed, "When did the relationship between Ruri and Conan become so good?"

"Huh?" Conan and I said in unison, "That's not good!"

Ever since he discovered that I was in this restaurant, the tall and tall FBI investigator began to glance at me intentionally or unintentionally.

Fortunately, after Conan and his team arrived, most of the attention he paid to me was lost, and he started to throw it in Sera's direction.

Thank you Seriang, I am an angel.

But Sera is different from me. When she faced the FBI, she didn't feel guilty at all. When she noticed Kamel's gaze, she was able to ask him without any scruples, "Why, did I get something on my face?" ?"

Kamel was a little flustered when he was discovered: "Ah, no."

"If you are wondering whether I am a boy or a girl, the answer is a girl!" She said with a smile, "Although my breasts have not developed yet."

I couldn't help but sigh, "It's so good..."

Being able to face the FBI with so much leeway.

Why would I feel so guilty?

"What's so good?" Xiaolan came over curiously, "Does Ruri feel envious that their detectives have such bright minds?"

"Let me tell you, those straight-line reasoning fools only have cases in their eyes, and they are not worthy of envy at all." Kazuye also came over and complained in a cute Kansai accent, "They don't even feel hungry. Really? I'm going to starve to death."

"I'm so hungry too." Uncle Maori said, "Just leave them alone and let's order something to eat first."

Uncle, aren't you supposed to be working hard to solve the case in the detective camp? Why are you sitting at the family table?

"That's right!" Xiao Lan had an idea, "We can order the dishes ordered by the three suspects. Maybe we can get some clues!"

This proposal was immediately unanimously approved by the three of us.

So, I finally had the curry rice that I had been waiting for for a long time, with everyone.

There are some benefits to encountering a case. At least for me, the food seems to be more delicious when there are many people and no bodies are seen.

"It's so delicious." I sighed with satisfaction.

Kazuo narrowed his eyes cutely, "I think it's delicious too!"

Kazuye and I looked at each other, and she extended her hand in a friendly manner, "My name is Toyama Kazuye!"

I raised my hand and shook her hand, "Ruri Amuro, just call me Ruri!"

The little girl showed a bright smile, "Then you can also call me He Ye!"

I was very interested: "Heye, do you also like to eat delicious food? I know many delicious restaurants in Tokyo. If I have a chance, I will introduce them to you!"

She was equally excited: "Okay! I like it so much! I also know a lot of delicious restaurants in Osaka! If you go to Osaka in the future, you must tell me and I will take you to eat!"

While the detectives were still digging into the truth, we quickly formed a friendship among the family members.

The case was finally over and everyone dispersed. I firmly refused Sera's invitation to follow Hattori to see the case brought by Hattori, and happily walked home with the packaged curry in hand.

However, my exit midway this time did not go as smoothly as I expected. Investigator Kamel, who also exited midway, quickly caught up with me.

"Please wait! Amuro Ruri!" He started shouting at the top of his lungs from a long distance away, very persistently, "I have something to tell you!"

...I just wonder why the FBI has so much to say to me.

It was not a problem to let him call me on the street, so I had to lead him into a secluded alley and helplessly ask his intentions with my eyes.

He took a deep breath and said, "What do you think of murder?"

I was dumbfounded and thought slowly, what should I see?

He added, "You also think that killing is wrong, right? Several times at the crime scene, you did not show empathy for the murderers. On the contrary, your disgust for them was obvious. You would not express sympathy for tragic cases. Feeling heavy, you will sympathize with the innocent victims. You are a kind child with a strong ability to empathize and a strong sense of justice. There is no difference between you and your detective friends. I have always believed that, You're not a bad boy."

I was shocked. I didn't expect that I had exposed such a big flaw...

Although Mr. Kamel does not look as outstanding and dazzling as Shuichi Akai and Toru Amuro, he is indeed an FBI investigator who should not be underestimated...

"I think Mr. Akai must have observed these before he agreed that you are not a bad boy." Kamel added, "Did you know that Mr. Akai has...already sacrificed his life?"

My hand hanging by my side trembled, and I couldn't help but take a step back.

But he took two steps forward, and tears actually filled the eyes of this strong man. He said in a shocked voice, "He died at the hands of the person in your family and the organization he belonged to! And you really Are you just going to pretend that you don’t know anything and do nothing?”

He looked at me with a hoarse voice, "As long as that lawless organization exists, no innocent good person will be safe! Maybe you don't care about Mr. Akai's life or death, but it is also possible that the next person to die is a friend you care about. Yes! Don’t you know!”

"Carmel!" Teacher Judy appeared at the alley. She must have run over, breathing heavily and yelling at him, "Stop talking! It's too much! She is still just a child!"

Kamel was startled, calmed down his emotions, and closed his eyes.

"I'm sorry." He said solemnly, "If you want to contact us, you are welcome at any time. You have Miss Judy's phone number."

"No..." I asked feebly, "As Teacher Judy said, I'm just a high school student. I don't know much about the organization, and my family won't let me have more contact. My position is against Is it that important to you? Why are you so stubborn in trying to instigate me? This is a very thankless task for you, right?"

"Of course it is important." Kamel gave me a last deep look. "Your position may not mean much to the overall situation, but it is Mr. Akai's last wish to bring you here..."

That guy Shuichi Akai - he cheated his death and still left me this trick!

Teacher Judy probably gave me a distant look, but did not come over. She pulled Kamel, who met her at the entrance of the alley, and the two left in a hurry.

After standing there and waiting for a few minutes but no one came back, I finally squatted down and covered my face.

They are indeed suffering because of Akai's fake death...

But I can only serve as an accomplice to help Akai hide the truth. I feel extremely guilty for their pain at this moment, but there is nothing I can do about it.
