[Lord Conan] Bourbon's Lover is Japan

It is rare that traveling with Edogawa Conan did not encounter any murders. The girls' shopping trip was very successful, and Hattori also took everyone to eat all the delicious food in Osaka.

As a commemoration of the trip, and as a substitute for the so-called engagement ring, Eguchi bought two key rings at the souvenir shop.The blue glass ball, which looks very ordinary, is said to be an decoration on the clothing of nobles in ancient Mesopotamia, and it was introduced to Japan through the road of commerce.

Not only does it look ordinary, but it looks cheap.The sphere is not transparent, only the size of a little fingernail, and there are light gold prints on the not-so-pure blue, like flower petals.

Eguchi couldn't put it down.I don't know if it's because of the blue color, or because of the print that is similar to Toru Amuro's hair color.

Since it was a weekend trip and it was not a holiday time, the children had to go to school on Monday, so the trip to Osaka started in a grand way, and finally flew back safely in an ordinary Suzuki family private jet.

After getting off the plane, Toru Amuro dragged his suitcase to take a taxi, and Eguchi received a call.

There was an ordinary male voice on the other end of the phone, and he stuttered because he pronounced a strange name.

"Is it Eguchi...Miss No. [-]?"

Eguchi.

This was her name on her identity before entering the organization.Up to now, except for the time when Edogawa Conan exposed her identity, no one has ever called her that.

Eguchi narrowed his eyes, took the phone away and looked at it, and found that he had indeed called the number he hadn't used for a long time.

That number is Eguchi Ichiban's contact information, and the only person who knows this should be the liaison officer.

But Eguchi didn't show much panic, and just replied flatly.

"who are you?"

"This is the [-]-chome police station in the town of Meguchi. That's it. Ms. Eguchi's home was robbed yesterday. Are you the real person?"

Eguchi frowned.

It was the only place where she kept Eguchi Ichiban's identity.After the night she left Scepter4, she never went back with her original self.

And now from the mouth of the patrolling policeman, I learned that someone took advantage of the turmoil caused by skyships and murderous bacteria yesterday to break into private houses and took advantage of Fujioka's method, causing the place where Eguchi is located. There is not a single apartment in an apartment building that has not been murdered.Although Zhenmecho is in Tokyo, far away from the really chaotic Osaka, but it is close to Nishitama City where the bombing research institute is located. I don’t know where there are rumors that it will be infected first, and small-scale riots broke out. .

That's why it took a day to notify Eguchi of what happened yesterday.In addition, most people actually reported the loss to the police when they were stolen. On the contrary, no one appeared from Eguchi's side, and it took some time to find her contact information.

Eguchi knew very well that there was nothing valuable in his room, and even most of the items should have been covered with dust.

It's impossible for something to be taken away like this...

"estuary?"

Toru Amuro called a car and called Eguchi over.

Eguchi responded to the police on the other end of the phone, saying that he would go back tomorrow to confirm the situation of the lost items.

After getting in the car, Toru Amuro reported his home address, and asked Eguchi after the car started.

"What's wrong? I kept frowning."

"The school may have to ask for leave tomorrow, and I have some urgent things to do."

"Work?"

Toru Amuro mistakenly thought that the higher-ups sent him a job.Eguchi shook his head in denial.

"I have a house that was broken into because of yesterday's incident. The police asked me to go back and confirm the missing items."

Hearing this, Toru Amuro also frowned: "In the chaotic situation yesterday, it was very difficult to catch the criminal."

Eguchi let out a breath.

"Hmm... so I hope I haven't really lost anything."

The only thing that could be stolen... is that.

The next day, Eguchi took the tram to Zhenmecho by himself.

It is said that this area has recently become the territory of the new Red King.And because of this, people in blue uniforms tend to appear nearby.

... The Red King and the Green King are not compatible with each other.

It's been a long time since I came back here. Eguchi got lost for a while after leaving the station, and spent an hour asking for directions before reaching the apartment building.

Many residents came and went complaining about what happened yesterday. The lawn on the first floor still had traces of being trampled on, and almost every door had scratches from picking locks, which showed the degree of misery.

Eguchi went up to the third floor and wanted to take out the key to open the door.But after thinking about it after seeing the footprints on the door panel, I reached out and pushed it instead. In fact, the hinges were all stolen by thieves—robbers? ——The broken door creaked and opened, leaving the appearance that the police tried to repair after being inspected, crookedly disconnected from the wall.

It was dark inside, the curtains were drawn, and a faint light leaked in through the cracks.Eguchi walked into the entrance, and with his unclear memory, touched the light switch by the door, which made the room light up with a snap.

The light penetrates the air, and the faithfulness of the Tyndall effect makes the flying dust in the house clearly visible.

After entering the entrance, change your shoes, and you will find a wooden floor room.The thief who broke into the house did not have the leisure and elegance to change his shoes, so he used his shoes to step on the ground that had not been cleaned for a long time, leaving clear footprints.

Although the police may have seen it, Eguchi took out his mobile phone and took a picture before stepping on the wooden floor.

The dust was about a centimeter thick.At this level, the slippers in the shoe closet next to me can't be worn at all.

Her gaze scanned the small room.

The apartment is 1LDK.Eguchi has no comfort requirements, so even though her salary is not high at all, she likes to live in a house that clearly shows that she is alone.

Too much space is disturbing.

But now, precisely because the stolen space was small, Eguchi could see all the signs of being turned over at a glance.

Since no one lives there, the bedding in the house was put into a dust bag, and there were only solitary stacks on the bed.Even so, it was completely lifted by the intruder.The closet was supposed to be closed, but now it is also open, and some bits and pieces that were thrown out were scattered on the ground mercilessly.

The refrigerators, cabinets, and some lockers in the kitchen could not escape the fate of being almost turned upside down. The bowls were swept directly to the ground, and the porcelain pieces were broken all over the floor.

Of course thieves won't find much of value here.The whole house is just a few old things.

He insisted that there was something valuable...and made Eguchi care about it.

She held her breath and walked to the closet.

Not a single piece of clothing was hanging inside, just a cardboard box stuffed in.Now the cardboard box fell into the closet in tatters and out of order, and the packed things were all on the floor.

A lot of them were put in to deceive people.The most important thing is actually the cyan clothes that are also put into the dust bag at the bottom.Clothes like military uniforms.

...and a knife that should have been standing in the closet.

The dim light from the chandelier fell feebly on top of Eguchi's head.

Her drooping face was stained with a dark color, and the plain eyes that concealed worry were instantly overwhelmed by a wave of angry killing intent.

The hand in the pocket was gradually clenched, and the bones creaked under the weight.

But a few seconds later, the heavy breathing calmed down, and the light black eyes turned back into a calm black lake.

Eguchi bent down, picked up the plastic bag containing the uniform on the ground, dusted off the dust on it, took out the cardboard box inside, packed the things back again, and sealed the box.

She contacted the maintenance company to come up to repair the door and tidy up other messy things.

This doesn't take much time.She also told the police at the police station that a wad of 20 yen in cash had been stolen from her house, and she hoped that if she had any clues about the culprit, she would let me know.

Then Eguchi made another phone call.This call took longer to wait for the other party to connect.

Halfway through, she looked around her bed and found a few fingerprints near the dusty edge.

After a long beep, the phone was finally connected.

"It's me, Yamazaki."

Eguchi cut to the chase.

"Find someone for me, Gin."
