The world is restarting

Pontocho, Izakaya.

As the Fireworks Festival approaches, more and more tourists come to Kyoto. Across the Fu River downstairs, you can see couples strolling along the Kamogawa River.

A certain 17-year-old high school student detective in a suit of fur was leaning against the window with a bored face, resting his chin on one hand.Behind him, a few half-drunk middle-aged men were happily playing with the girls in the izakaya.

The room was filled with cheerful air, only he was bored.

Maybe he really isn't old enough, he really can't understand the fun of middle-aged men... No, he probably won't be able to understand even if he is old enough.

Uncle Mori Kogoro, one of the happy old men behind him, received a commission a few days ago. The monk Ryuuen of Sannoji Temple in Kyoto asked the famous detective "Sleeping Kogoro" to investigate the theft of the Buddha statue in Sannoji Temple eight years ago.They received an anonymous letter five days ago. Someone put a puzzle in it, and said that as long as they solved the puzzle, they could find the stolen Buddha statue, so they came to Kyoto specially.

And speaking of Kyoto...

"Hey, Kudo, do you have any idea about that puzzle?"

The familiar Osaka accent sounded behind his ears, and a person leaned over.

Conan: "..."

That's right, speaking of Kyoto, it's the territory of a certain Kansai detective, and it's no surprise that this person popped up.

He met Hattori Heiji on the Gojo Bridge. The other party was investigating the death of members of the famous bandit Genji Hotaru who had been making a fuss some time ago, and the Buddha statue of Sanno Temple was probably also stolen by Genji Hotaru. The lines staggered and the two collided again.

At this time, someone on the other side of the river had already set off fireworks in advance, and Conan's "no" was overwhelmed by the sound of fireworks.He turned his head and glanced out the window, his eyes swept across the bustling crowd below, and he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure inadvertently.

The other party was wearing a scarlet yukata that fit the atmosphere of the firework festival, holding a stick of red apple candy in his hand, his long silver hair was rarely combed up, an ebony hairpin was inserted obliquely behind his head, and fine tassels dangled from his ears, dangling stars like broken light.

She didn't appear on the river bank alone. She was accompanied by a man in a sand-colored windbreaker with his hands in his pockets, and his short red hair brushed the back of his neck.

"...Why is this guy here?"

"What?" Hattori lay beside him and looked down, stunned for a moment, "Eh? That's Sawada's little sister... Wait, Kudo, is the person next to her the last time we met at Yokohama Ocean University The Mafia?"

The last few words suddenly softened, and the black-skinned detective sneaked over like a thief.

Conan nodded with a complicated expression, and then said, knowing where he would go, "She was not kidnapped."

The mafia that day was obviously a member of Hong Kong gangsters, and Hong Kong gangsters and Peng Gelie are still allies. It is normal for her to be accompanied by one or two Hong Kong gangsters... No, it is not so normal, this is not Yokohama Well, it's a little strange that people from the port mafia appear here.

"I'll go down and see..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the red-haired man below suddenly leaning down without warning, hugging the silver-haired little loli beside him and throwing himself aside, as if a stream of air brushed past him and nailed it into the chest behind him. river surface.

The water rippled and shattered the lights all over the river.

The broken waves came into his eyes, and the young detective suddenly realized at that moment that it was a bullet.

He stood up suddenly, turned his head and ran out. When he passed through the room, a drunk uncle was knocked on the table and turned his head angrily.

"Hey, brat, what's going on..."

The syllables that became blurred before he finished speaking were left behind. Conan put on his shoes at the door, ran downstairs as fast as he could, and took out his mobile phone to dial a number.

After two rings the phone was connected.

"Conan?"

"I saw the attack, are you alright?" He quickly interrupted without waiting for the other party's question to come out.

"Huh? I'm fine."

"That's good, find a safe place, I'll be right there."

After a few words, he ran to the door, hung up the phone and looked across.Across the river, the people on the Kamogawa Beach didn't seem to notice that there was an attack just now, and the crowd was coming and going, and the people they saw upstairs were no longer in their positions.He turned around and was about to walk towards the bridge when there was a rush of footsteps behind him.

"Hey, Kudo, wait!"

He turned around, "Hatto, why are you down too?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? I saw that attack too!"

Hattori Heiji bent down and put his hand on it, and asked in a low voice, "Are you here for Sister Sawada? Is she okay?"

"It's okay. I'm going to find her. Do you want to come?"

The famous detective in Kansai immediately said that someone was assassinating under his nose, and of course he would go and see.

"Sister Zetian, where are they now?"

Conan took out his phone and opened a software, and a red dot not far away was displayed on the screen.He identified the direction on the map below, "Cross the river first, then go there."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a bunch of strange eyes cast down, he raised his head, and saw Hattori Heiji looking at him inexplicably.

"tracking device?"

"……almost."

There was a hint of shock in the black-skinned detective's eyes, and "I never thought you were such a Kudo" was written all over his face!

Conan: "..."

Conan: "...I didn't pretend."

Hattori Heiji looked at the phone in his hand, his eyes turned into "Who are you kidding?"

Conan: "..."

Although it is said that as a detective, it is a basic quality to carry trackers and bugs with you, but these are usually used on suspects, and it is indeed a bit perverted to put them on friends around you.However, Conan was wronged. He did not put the tracker on a certain silver-haired loli, or she didn't have any tracker at all. It was a black technology software made by Hiroki.

However, if you want to explain it, you have to expose Hiroki's existence. Although Hattori's character will definitely not say it outside, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Conan finally took the scapegoat speechlessly, and then lightly pressed his finger on the edge of the frame to transfer the image on the phone to the glasses, "Are you still going to find someone?"

Hattori Heiji looked at him for a few seconds, hesitant to speak, and nodded with a complicated expression, "Let's go."

Finally, they followed the navigation and found Wujo Bridge. At that time, Sawada Ya and the red-haired young man were sitting in front of a mobile stall eating oden.

Just encountered an assassination, but the little Lolita didn't seem to be affected at all. Seeing them from a distance, she waved livelyly, "Conan, Heiji, are you here? I'll treat you to whatever you want."

"You're really interested." Conan breathed a sigh of relief, walked over to her and sat down.

The red-haired young man sitting on the other side turned slightly and nodded towards them as a greeting.

After Hattori Heiji also sat down, Sawada Ya gave an introduction to both parties.

The hanging curtains kept the flickering fireworks outside, leaving only the warm light of the shop itself.The smell of oden spreads in the air, and I don’t know how she found this stall. The aroma of the food is particularly fresh and strong, which attracts people’s appetite. Even if Conan and Hattori ate in the izakaya, they feel a little hungry at the moment .

He casually ordered oden, and watched the stall owner turn around and start working. Conan turned his head and gave Sawada Ya a look, expressing that he had something to ask.

Little Lolita was biting a piece of radish, chewed it twice and swallowed the food, then said slowly, "Let's just say it, we are all our own people."

Conan: "?"

The boss who was chopping radishes raised his head, a kind smile appeared on his round face, the fluffy hair on the top of his head shook, and two furry fox ears came out.

...fox ears.

Conan, Hattori, and the red-haired youth: "!"

"This is the shikigami of the Tsuchiyamon family. It is usually raised outside. Occasionally, it will come out to play when there are celebrations, so they are all their own people... their own fox."

The red-haired young man murmured blankly, "Me too?"

At first hearing these words, it seemed like he was doubting his own race after his three views were broken. Even Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was questioning the "one of us".

"Of course, Oda Saku is already mine." The silver-haired loli announced.

The young man whose real name is Oda Sakunosuke scratched his hair, "Why do you follow Dazai and call Oda Saku... well, but I thought I was just sent to protect you."

Sawada Ya blinked, "It's true that I borrowed it from Gang Hei for the time being, but I'm not going to pay it back."

Oda Sakunosuke: "Is that so?"

"How does Oda feel?"

The red-haired youth thought for a while.This question is actually not difficult to answer, the beautiful and cute cute loli and the ghostly and sinister crumb boss, if asked Mori Ogai himself to choose him, he would choose loli.

"But Dazai and Ango are still in Hong Kong."

"It's okay, Dazai said he'll come when he's done, and Ango seems to have arrangements."

"Well, then it's fine."

Conan and Heiji who listened to this conversation: "..."

Where is it okay?Obviously there is a big problem!

If I remember correctly, the one who is going to take his friends to change jobs is Osamu Dazai, one of the five major cadres of the port mafia, right?It is also the youngest mafia cadre who broke the record, and the witness of the succession of the current Hong Kong black leader.

If such a person were to leave, would the Port Mafia let it go easily?This is not an ordinary company resigning, why can it be said so easily? Hey!

Hattori Heiji lowered his voice and approached Conan's ear, "Hey, Kudo, do we know too much?"

Conan: "...Yes, prepare to be silenced by Shen He in a while."

Hattori Heiji:"!"

He looked at his little friend suspiciously, "...are you kidding me?"

Conan: "..."

Isn't it obvious why you still use a questioning tone?

He simply ignored Detective Kansai, who was suddenly showing off his head, and turned to look at the person beside him. Since she said there was no problem, he asked directly, "What happened to the assassination just now?"

The moment the question came out, he wondered if it was sent by the port mafia, right?

But this suspicion only flashed in his mind and was thrown into the trash can by a famous detective, unless Mori Ogai's head is also showing off and wants to fight against the behemoth Pengo Lie, if he really does this kind of irrational operation It's time for the leader of the gangsters in Hong Kong to change.

After eating another ball slowly, Sawada Ya calmly gave it a name, "MurderInk's killer."

The moment the name came to his ears, Conan's pupils shrank suddenly, "The murder contracting company?"

"Ah?" Hattori Heiji on the other side felt unfamiliar, and asked at a loss, "What do you mean?"

"MurderInk is a company that exists like a ghost and is in the business of killing people." Conan took the drink from the stall owner and exhaled softly, "No one knows where the company is located, and its employees are all professional Killers, all contacts with customers are through the Internet. It is said that there are also people who have dealt with the company, but as long as they want to call the police, they will turn into a cold corpse the next day. I am also a listening ashes...cough, listening to Dr. I said it, but I didn’t dare to confirm it before.”

After all, in modern society, there are still such groups that make a living by killing people. It is too scary to think about it.

This company is like a ghost living in the dark side of the city. Only those who are close to the dark world know its existence. Most people living in the sun, such as Hattori Heiji, have never heard of it.

"Such a group has not been banned?!"

"Didn't you say it? I couldn't find any clues or locations." Conan rubbed his temples, then turned to Sawada Ya, "Isn't the assassination you encountered today the first time?"

The silver-haired little loli poked another shrimp ball and nodded.

Oda added: "Someone put a reward on Sawada on the dark web."

Conan frowned slightly, and asked cryptically, "Don't other people know about this?"

What about Pengo Lie?What about barbara?What about Tsuchimikado?It's impossible for the group of female controllers to watch their group favorite loli being assassinated without showing any signs of it, right?

Sawada Ya took a bite of the meatball with an "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Why does it take a few days... A flash of inspiration flashed in Conan's mind, "Mi, do you know who the person who put the bounty on you is?"

The silver-haired little loli swallowed the food slowly, nodded, "It's Dazai."

Odasaku: "?"

Hattori Heiji:"??"

Edogawa Conan: "..."

What is that guy going to do again?
