The Split-Actress in Conan's World

It was just another ordinary morning for the members of Team Zero.

Jinpei Matsuda had just woken up and came out of the bathroom when he saw Ko Ida sitting on the sofa with his arms folded, looking a little depressed.

He complained: "The tensioner in the gym broke and almost hurt my hand."

"Hagi has already contacted the logistics department, and someone will come to fix it soon." Zhu Fujingguang put the hot baked egg sandwich on the table, took off his navy blue apron, and hung it back in the kitchen.

Matsuda Jinpei ruffled his hair, which was fluffy because he had just woken up. "The printer is running out of paper. Let's ask them to send some over."

He picked up a sandwich. The toast became very soft under the high temperature, and the lava-filled baked egg filling slowly flowed out, which looked very appetizing. He blew on it, took a big bite, and looked at Zhufu Jingguang.

"Where's Zero?"

"I went to see Kazami. They plan to use this time to liquidate all the businesses involved in that plan."

"Won't this haste affect his actions in the organization?"

"It's not like he gave us the USB drive, so the sooner we do it, the better."

"Okay." Matsuda Jinpei spread out his hands, ate a whole sandwich in a few bites, and then poured a glass of warm water.

Hagiwara Kenji also came in. He looked like he had just contacted the public security department. He picked up a sandwich and felt it was a little hot. He flipped it over and over again, then said to the others, "Haven't you noticed that Tokyo has become a lot quieter these days?"

"It does feel like there's no movement from any party." Zhu Fu Jingguang nodded in agreement.

"But there has been no decrease in various murders." Yi Dahang complained.

"I suspect that kid Kudo Shinichi is unlucky. Wherever he goes, there are murders." Matsuda Jinpei said, holding a cup.

"It is also because of this reason that many people have noticed him, making it seem like our efforts to block the news were in vain." Hagiwara Kenji was somewhat helpless. You know, it took him a lot of effort to seal up the relevant information about Kudo Shinichi.

Matsuda Jinpei smiled maliciously and asked Xiang Zhufu Jingguang: "What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll go out to buy something later and I can help you run the errand while I'm there."

"Bring back some ribs. I'll try to make braised ribs. The Chinese cooking method I learned before turned out pretty good." Zhu Fu Jingguang has been obsessed with improving his cooking skills recently.

"Bring back some cold drinks!" Yi Dahang raised his hand and added that although it was turning from summer to autumn recently, he was used to daily fitness, so he was greatly affected by the hot and humid weather.

Matsuda Jinpei waved his hand to show that he understood, picked up his sunglasses from the cabinet, gently shook the legs open, and put them on his face.

He picked up a folding umbrella to prevent rain, put on the hood of his sweatshirt, and got ready to go out.

The sun comes out early in autumn. Although it is just past 8 o'clock in the morning, the sky is already clear. White clouds gather together in groups, shivering under the overbearing sunlight.

The temperature was not high, only about 27 degrees, but it was a bit hot due to the direct sunlight. Fortunately, his sweatshirt was not made of pure cotton and was white in color, so it did not absorb much heat.

Just like those standard dank otakus in comics, Matsuda Jinpei's entire face was hidden under the hood, with only scattered strands of hair showing, which swayed slightly with the pace of his walking. He put his hands in the front pockets of his sweatshirt and hung a folding umbrella on his wrist. He walked on the street and was not very eye-catching.

Although the daily supplies of Team Zero members are secretly delivered by the public security logistics, sometimes they would like to have extra meals for themselves, or try new cuisines occasionally, such as Zhufu Jingguang who has been studying Chinese cuisine recently.

But they can’t say to their colleagues in logistics, “Ah, I want to eat pork elbow today, can you send some over”, right?

So they often go out to buy ingredients themselves, but in order to keep it secret, they usually go to farmers' markets in different regions.

The last time was in Shizuoka, Matsuda Jinpei thought about it and decided to go to Haido this time.

Although their whereabouts are much more secretive, the price they pay is that the stall owners in the farmers' market are not familiar with them. People who buy vegetables frequently should know that if a complete stranger appears in the market, he or she will have to pay some extra price.

In order not to attract attention, he did not want to use his excellent eloquence to bargain, so he had to accept the price being ripped off.

Carrying two large bags of food out of the market, Jinpei Matsuda counted the money in his wallet, looked at the small amounts, and sighed.

You have to know that although Group Zero looks high-end and is a so-called secret organization on the surface, to put it bluntly, it is a unit that has no one to love it. The price of not being included in the system is not enjoying the benefits of the system.

Although Group Zero is directly responsible to the Public Security Committee, the Public Security Committee only makes decisions on the general direction and does not involve economic support.

Logically speaking, Group Zero is a small but efficient organization with a small number of people. Their food and lodging are all provided by the public security logistics department. The power they exercise is also to control the subordinates of the public security department, which is actually implemented by the public security department. It does not cost much money, but Mr. has an idea!

Generally speaking, civilian intelligence sources like this are connected to the public security intelligence department, but Mr. Dianzi is a little special. He is related to the organization, so he was transferred to Team Zero and contacted directly by the account Zero.

It is true that Mr. idea would give out some information about the organization from time to time, but more often he was selling intelligence about the self-employed people in Shangri-La. After all, Team Zero was the public security department, and they could not turn a blind eye to the opportunity to bring those lawless criminals to justice, so they had to accept all the information.

As a result, Group Zero’s already tight bills became even worse.

Zhu Fu Jingguang had no choice but to ask his superiors for money.

The Public Security Committee was also puzzled. How could a small sparrow organization like yours suddenly start to swallow up money? Upon investigation, it was found that there was an intelligence dealer behind it who was asking for a huge sum of money.

They thought it was wrong. How could they use the police's money to support an intelligence dealer? Even if the intelligence provided was useful, it would not be a good idea to cooperate with them for the sake of profit in the long term. Isn't this a bottomless pit?

So they said, you can give money, you can give money if you want to upgrade facilities or conduct investigations, but you can’t support intelligence dealers!

If you think the information is useful, then go find him, then call for amnesty and make him free. In short, the police will never do this kind of behavior of taking advantage of others!

But Zhu Fujingguang was also worried. If he could find Mr. Dianzi, wouldn't he have gone to find him long ago? Did he really think he didn't feel bad every time he took the gold from him?

The key is that I can’t find anyone!!

The only clue is that Mr. idea has some connection with the organization, but he is not sure how much. He can't just go to the organization to investigate, right?

Moreover, recently, Kotani is on the rise in the organization, so it is even less likely that he would act rashly.

So he had to admit that he was unlucky, and saved money to bargain with Mr. Idea. From being generous and magnanimous at the beginning, he has become obviously stingy now, so that Zhu Fujingguang can't even raise his head in front of Mr. Idea. He can only watch him curse the police for being stingy, and he can't refute him.

Feeling sad for the rough fate of Team Zero, Jinpei Matsuda put away his wallet and prepared to go to a nearby dessert shop to buy some cold drinks to take back.

However, at this moment, his attention was attracted by the crowd not far away. After listening for a while, he determined that this was a victory parade spontaneously held by fans of a certain team.

He was not very interested in football, but there was a group of familiar-looking kids outside the crowd that made him stop and look.

The elementary school student who killed people wherever he went was particularly conspicuous.

It seemed as if they wanted to get a clear view of the players' convoy in the middle of the parade, but due to their height, they were blocked by the crowded crowd.

The little fat boy cleverly climbed onto a nearby trash can and stood on tiptoe to look into the distance. The height was higher than before, but just at the same level as an adult, and he still couldn't see the scene in the center of the crowd.

Then, he was about to climb to a higher mailbox. The Death Elementary School Student and the kid with strange silver hair next to him said something, but it seemed that the fat boy didn't listen and was still trying to climb the mailbox.

Suddenly, a fashionable woman with dyed brown hair and sunglasses came over. She was wearing a beige sweater with a collar covering her neck.

She grabbed the little fat boy's collar and pulled him down, then said something righteously. Judging from her lip movements, Matsuda Jinpei was probably teaching the child not to stand so high.

After observing for a while, Matsuda Jinpei's eyes suddenly became a little strange.

Because he remembered the camouflage training he had received in the police academy, and the woman's outfit was a standard police disguise.

Sure enough, the woman quickly took off her wig and sunglasses, revealing her beautiful face.

That was his colleague, Miwako Sato, with whom he had worked for a week.

The corners of Matsuda Jinpei's lips curled up slightly and he adjusted his sunglasses.

I hope Inspector Megure is not nearby, otherwise he will probably be furious when he sees Sato. After all, since they are in disguise, it means that the police should be waiting for a certain target, and removing the disguise without permission is undoubtedly a violation of the rules, and going up to talk to a familiar child is even more of a sign of dereliction of duty.

However, he did not think this was a big problem. After all, he was the most rebellious policeman in the past and had no right to criticize Sato.

The reason why he laughed was that Sato, who had been his partner before, was a complete greenhorn who had just graduated from the police academy. He was very rigid and boring, but now he has been led astray and turned into a seasoned veteran.

Quite fun.

Although he is not a particularly narcissistic person, he believes that he has contributed to this transformation.

When he was organizing materials and preparing to join Team Zero, he was transferred to the First Investigation Division in order to create normal traces of personnel transfers, making it easier to tamper with his personnel files when he faked his death. During that time, Sato and he were partners.

Coincidentally, not long after he was transferred, a very serious serial bombing occurred. He thought, since he had to fake his death anyway, it would be death sooner or later. Instead of waiting too long for Team Zero to arrange a cliché plot, it would be better to hand in the paper early and get to work quickly. So he did some tricks to eliminate the bomb that threatened the public, and then induced the criminal to detonate the one that threatened him, creating the illusion that he was killed by the bomb.

The key point was that he was in a bad mood at that time and decided to tease his serious partner, so he sent her the location of the bomb in the city center three seconds before the bomb exploded, and added a short unfinished confession at the end of the text message.

Well, in order to appear more realistic, he didn't even complete his sentences, and the impression given was that he was blown to death before he could finish his words.

The logistics of Team Zero were very professional, and they faked the scene of his death to make it look real. Everyone believed it, and he successfully joined Team Zero and became a ghost without a social identity.

After that, he occasionally saw Sato, but he seemed to have no effect on her, which made him a little discouraged and doubt his own charm.

Now it seems that he is still very successful.

Just when he was feeling proud, he suddenly saw a man in a suit getting out of a car on the side of the road. He had short, fluffy hair that swayed in the wind, fine bangs on his forehead, and a thin, straight face, which made him look a little stern.

What shocked Jinpei Matsuda the most was that the man was wearing the same pair of sunglasses as himself, which was a complete knockoff.

What made him even more dumbfounded was that after seeing the man, Officer Sato stood there for a few seconds, then walked up to him in his high heels...

With a "slap", he slapped the man hard.

Even the sunglasses flew off.

He shuddered unconsciously and subconsciously touched his face.

......

The three little ones had never seen Officer Sato like this. Ayumi hid behind Haibara Ai with a worried look in her eyes.

Officer Sato's condition was a little abnormal at this moment. In the past, she always looked like a carefree strong woman. Even when facing a vicious murderer, she rarely lost her composure. Not to mention that she was a woman who liked children and rarely did inappropriate things in front of children.

Not long ago, she was smiling and teaching Yuanta not to stand too high, but after the disguised Officer Takagi appeared, she suddenly lost control of her emotions.

Conan could see that although Officer Sato stood there with her head down after slapping Officer Takagi, she was probably very excited at the moment.

"Sato..." Takagi touched his red and swollen face. His wig was even crooked. He simply took off the wig and looked at Sato Miwako with some grievance.

"You should have received orders from Inspector Megure, telling you not to disguise yourself and to stay where you are?" Sato lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly.

"Yes...but I think..."

"Since you know that, why are you dressed like this?!" Haibara Ai keenly noticed that the usually strong female police officer had a hint of tears in her voice.

She turned her head calmly to look at Chiyoko beside her, then hugged Ayumi and comforted her for a while.

Ayumi was not scared by Sato, but she was a little worried about Officer Sato's current condition. After all, this officer has always been very nice to their Junior Detective Team.

Chiyoko didn't notice Haibara Ai's gaze. Her eyes were bright as she looked between Sato and Takagi, enjoying the show.
