[Conan] Waiting for the dawn

Find the most critical thing, and other problems are easily solved.

The reason for the power outage in the elevator last night was that the prisoner wanted to come back and open the safe to take a banknote, and spend it without leaving his identity the next day to mislead the police, so that they can firmly believe that "the money has been stolen".

It has to be said that the prisoner really has a brain.The first case was misleading as a crime committed through violence, and the second case was misleading as a brain crime with complex schemes.But the real big head has tampered with the mechanism.

"He knew that the safe must have four keys, so when the light went out, he opened the window first, and then ran to the safe with the other three, turned the safe in confusion to hide the money on the bottom floor, and turned it at the same time. The electromagnet in the cabinet is switched on, and the keys on everyone will move. After they were shocked to find that the money was missing, they must think that the change at that time was someone taking the keys. After the incident, the police will definitely open the safe and show it. The bottom of the box is empty, and the key is kept by the police, so he just needs to come and open the lower floor when no one is around, and he can take the money."

Yingying silently watched that little friend Conan speak out these reasonings.It's not a simple child.

……

Two seconds later, Conan scratched his head and smiled dryly, "It's all brother Amuro and Miss Ori Mitsui who reminded me just now..."

Yingying chuckled, ignored his 300 taels of silver here, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and walked to the door with ease, "So, the only one who wants to do this kind of thing is the one who accepts the president's money." The person who ordered and ordered this safe. The president probably didn't expect that the person he trusted the most stabbed him."

The process of arresting the prisoner went smoothly, but it did take a while to explain the cause and effect to the Nakamori Police Department.He still believes that the prisoner must have escaped through the window, and the poor policeman was hung out of the window for inspection.

No wonder he couldn't catch Kaitou Kidd.

"So, should we only catch the high-level executive who ordered the safe, and the manager who left fingerprints on the bottom of the safe and held the key at the scene? Only this one accomplice?" Ono wrote in his notebook, The admiration for his own instructor is even higher.

"No, there should be one more person." Amuro came over at some point, and answered the question before Yingying, he glanced at her, confirmed that he didn't mean to stop him, and then finished speaking, "There is also a security guard—— It was the security guard who was on duty when we went up last night."

"Huh?" Ono couldn't believe it, looked at Yingying, "Is it true, police department?"

Yingying hummed: "The main gate of the elevator is outside. At that time, the high-ranking mastermind was with President Shenmu, and the manager was taking banknotes at the crime scene on the sixth floor...so there must be another accomplice. And at that time the security guard said It can only be him who said something like 'the elevator was shut down because of the incident'."

"...So that's how it is!" Ono's eyes sparkled, "The police department, you are amazing! So is Mr. Amuro!"

"..."

I really want to pack him up and send him to the Nakamori Police Department.

Seeing Ono jumping up and down giving orders, Amuro smiled: "Your subordinate is really similar to you back then."

Yingying frowned: "No way? I wasn't so stupid back then."

Amuro: "It's the same way when you praise me."

"..." Yingying didn't answer, looking at the other side, Conan who was being taught by Mao Lilan who came over, she couldn't help lowering her voice, "That child is really scary."

"That's right, I think so too." Amuro's smile also lowered, "I'm the only detective who solved this case with the police this time, and I can meet with President Shenmu alone. If I get any good news... ...Then thank you very much."

Yingying suddenly felt the cool wind blowing, and she shivered.She buttoned up her suit jacket, turned and walked towards the patrol car:

"I'm no longer your subordinate. I'm not interested in your affairs, so you don't mention them to me."

What she thought was, why is it so difficult to keep the relationship between people on a clear line?

After the case was over and all kinds of reports were finished, news came that President Shenmu's old father was hospitalized in anger because all his money had been stolen, and passed away on the fourth day after the incident.I don't know if Toru Amuro got the information he wanted before that.

Yingying looked at the calendar, only to realize that she hadn't been home for a while.My younger brother is still studying abroad and is about to graduate. There are only two parents in the Osaka family. It is quite pitiful to think about it.

She is going to take a weekend off and go home.

It would be perfect if mom could arrange two more blind dates for her.

Knowing she came back, the old lady prepared glutinous rice flour and red dates and red beans to steam her favorite rice cake.

"Did Xiaohong say when he will be back?" Ying Ying sat with her mother, rubbing glutinous rice flour.The home is a traditional Japanese-style mansion. Every time I come back to wear a kimono and sit quietly in the Japanese room to watch my mother arrange flowers, there is a feeling of time slowing down.

"It must be February next year. He said he would stay there for a while after graduation. Anyway, he won't leave when he comes back, so let him go." The mother is very open-minded. She doesn't control her children very much. yes.It all depends on the will of the individual.

"Hey...then I'll try my best to catch the fish that slipped through the counterfeit coin manufacturing case before then, that is, to complete all the cases in hand, and then transfer back to Osaka Prefecture to accompany you and Dad." Yingying's hands kept moving, " I asked a detective to help me investigate, maybe I can catch the criminal by going some other way."

I just don't know if Mori Kogoro is as capable as rumored.

"Are you transferred back?" Mom was a little surprised when she heard her mention this matter for the first time. "Why did you suddenly have this idea? Didn't you do a good job in the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Yingying lowered her gaze and said, "I'm not young anymore, there's no reason why I have to stay in Tokyo. It's better to come back and go on a blind date so that I can find a marriage partner. It's too inefficient to run at both ends...Look at you this week No one chose me."

"Really, you always ask me to introduce you, but you don't want the police, so why don't you just find your father? Or is it just an excuse that you really want to find the police?" Mom was in the police station after all. The seniors who have been around for too many years don't save face for others.

Yingying threw down the red dates, turned sideways, avoiding her mother's gaze, and bit by bit the hardened glutinous rice flour in her hand: "...I actually think there is nothing wrong with the police, but the job is quite dangerous."

Senior Xiong, didn't you just leave like that?

"Then the Chief Odagiri of the Criminal Department of your Metropolitan Police Department, he is a student I have taken care of. His son is not a policeman, but he is full of evil spirits if he doesn't learn the righteous way. Let alone you, I don't like you either." Mom sighed and stood up. Getting up to go to the steamer, he said helplessly, "Anyway, there is no candidate for it recently. If there are people of the right age who return from studying abroad or the mission ends after a while, let's talk about it."

……

After washing his hands, he suddenly received a call from Xiaolan.

The Tokyo Extra-large Counterfeit Coin Manufacturing Case, which Maori had asked to investigate before, has now been renamed the Kanto Extra Large Counterfeit Coin Manufacturing Case.Three years ago, Yukimura discovered a large number of gangsters in debt collection. Yingying led his men to hunt them down for two months, but only found a few small dens and key members. The real mastermind behind the scenes has been on the run. unknown identity.

Using the police's channels could not find anything, so she simply asked Kogoro Mouri to see if he could find a solution.

The settlement of this case can be regarded as the end of the work of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Lan said that her father actually found a clue.

Mori Kogoro, well-deserved reputation!

After hastily listening to what Xiaolan said, Yingying wished she could fly back to Tokyo immediately.However, she couldn't do this even once she went home with great difficulty, so she suppressed her eagerness and took the Shinkansen back early the next morning.

Instead of going home, she took a taxi and went directly to the Maori Detective Agency.

While standing downstairs, she glanced at the coffee shop.Polo Cafe.

Yingying remembers that Conan mentioned that it was the place where Toru Amuro worked part-time.

What kind of existence is Toru Amuro?She couldn't tell either.After meeting again, she felt his attraction more than once.The source of that power is mysterious, maybe it comes from the body, maybe it comes from the soul.Even talking to him face to face, she couldn't control her emotions.

Rationality tells her, don't approach him, don't face him, he is not suitable for you, and goodbye is a mistake; but what often controls herself is still emotional, she can't help but want to be close to him, listen to him, and have a closer relationship with him. many contacts.

Do you really think that we shouldn't meet again, Mr. Amuro?

After pausing twice as long as normal people, Yingying still chose to go upstairs directly.

After knocking on the door, Lan was alone.She said that Maori hadn't gotten up yet, and Conan went to sleep at Dr. Ali's house last night, and she was the only one waiting for her.

"This is information." Lan handed her a file bag, "I haven't seen what it is, I don't know if it will be useful to you."

After Yingying opened it, it turned page by page.

Basically, they are people who have gotten rich in recent years, and they have more or less contact with criminal organizations.The text inside records in detail the lives of these people and what they are doing recently.

Indeed, if there is no clue of the prisoner after such a long search, it is very likely that he has been reborn, and he may have entered the upper class. If he is connected with a criminal organization, it is naturally difficult for the police to investigate.

"These are people who had relations with the few prisoners we caught... Very useful, thank you very much, Xiaolan." Yingying stood up, "I will pay Mr. Mao Li according to the price agreed at the beginning. account."

"Ah, no, no, no..." Xiaolan smiled and waved her hands, "Actually, it wasn't my father who checked it, so let's forget about the money..."

Lingering doubts.

"Although Mr. Amuro asked me not to speak out, I still feel that this is not fair to his efforts. ... Miss Ori Mitsui, if you really want to thank Mr. Amuro, you should thank Mr. Amuro. He found all these , entrust my father to give it to you."

!

Yingying suddenly opened his eyes wide.

The brain stopped functioning as if it had exploded.

Toru Amuro?Why did he do this?

What on earth does he want to do?

After a long while, Yingying spoke with difficulty: "Mr. Anshi... is it in the coffee shop downstairs? I want to go, thank him."

Xiaolan was a little confused: "Yes. However, it seems that he hasn't gone to work for the past two days..."

"I'm back!" The door was suddenly opened, and a child's voice sounded.

"Conan, I'm back so early. Did you sleep well at the doctor's house yesterday?" Xiaolan walked over, "Really, did you stay up late playing games again? Didn't you see that Shinichi's father won an Oscar? .”

"Ahahaha, I saw it at Dr. Ali's house..." Conan scratched his head and smirked habitually, and suddenly saw a person sitting on the sofa, "Huh? Police department of Mitsui, why are you here?"

Yingying let out a long sigh of relief and stood up, "If Mr. Amuro is not here, let's talk about it next time. Anyway, I am very grateful to you—"

"Brother Amuro, he has already returned." Conan said suddenly, "I saw him enter the coffee shop when I came over just now."

For some reason, Yingying felt that Conan's tone of calling "Brother Amuro" was different this time, it seemed that he called it more calmly.

Conan took Yingying's hand: "I'll take you there, or the Mitsui Police Department!"

Walking on the stairs, Conan spoke, not in that deliberate child's voice, but in an extremely calm tone she had heard before: "Brother Anshi encountered some unpleasant things last night, maybe I won't be in a bad mood now. good."

"Unhappy things?" This expression is probably a bit euphemistic, and at the level of this child, it probably refers to something that has caused Amuro a big loss.She stopped and stared at Conan.

Conan laughed with a guilty conscience: "...Anyway, you can comfort Brother Amuro for a while, and let him not take it to heart. After all...they are not enemies."

Yingying's face darkened.

She said, "I said, boy, who are you?"

"I told you I'm a detective." He regained his innocent expression, and took her hand, "Quick, let's go down and find Big Brother Amuro!"

Pushing open the door, the bell rang.

"welcome--"

The male waiter in the apron smiled at them perfectly, then paused, not knowing whom.

Yingying took two steps forward and said quietly: "Let's have a chat, Mr. Amuro."

For the first time since we met again, I wanted to chat with him.

Amuro paused for two seconds, saw the document bag she was holding and hadn't put it in her bag, and immediately understood the reason.He changed the fold of the rag in his hand, lowered his head to wipe the table, and apologized slightly: "Sorry, I'm working now, Miss Zi didn't come today, I'm the only one..."

A card was pressed on the table in his sight, and when she looked up, she still had the same expression: "I'll book the show for an hour."

Toru Amuro didn't know what to say.

"You heard it last time in the hot springs. The counterfeit money case is over, and I will apply to return to Osaka. Since you have already taken action to help speed up my pace of going back, you shouldn't have to avoid this conversation, right?"

Conan looked left and looked again, and suddenly said in embarrassment: "Well... should I... avoid it?"

……

"That would be troublesome."

"Need not."

The two spoke at the same time.

Yingying smiled: "What are you afraid of? I don't say anything inappropriate for children. It doesn't matter if Conan listens to it."

She chose a table at random and sat down, watching the other two slowly sit down.

This table was the only one in the cafe, so it was very quiet.

After being silent for a few seconds, Yingying spoke carefully: "First of all, I still have to express my gratitude. The case of counterfeit banknotes has always been a knot in my heart. The information you gave me is very useful, Mr. Amuro."

Amuro's eyes flashed, but he didn't respond.His bony hands were placed on the table, his fingertips gently rubbing against the table.

When he covered her mouth with those hands, she should not be the only one who panicked.So does he.

"Before, I did always think that I would go back to Osaka after solving this case. But just now, I changed my mind." A smile appeared on the corner of Yingying's mouth, as she expected Amuro's surprise, she slowly said the next thing Sentence, "Even if this case cannot be resolved, I will submit an application for transfer at the beginning of next year."

His fingers paused, they were slightly closed for a moment, and then released.

Her voice on the other side was very soft: "This is also... your wish."

Amuro closed his eyes, and said slowly: "I just think that this is what you want, so I want to help you. There is no other meaning."

He lowered his eyes to avoid her gaze, and she knew why.She was never the only one who got out of control after meeting again, no matter how rational she was, some subconscious thinking would reveal everything.

"Mr. Amuro." Yingying felt his lips were very dry, and all the exhaustion from running from Osaka early in the morning came to his heart, "We haven't seen each other for four years, where are you, who do you know, what kind of things are you doing?" Work... I don't know anything about it. I even heard your name from other people's mouths."

"I should have told you earlier, my name is Toru Amuro..." He wanted to explain, but stopped again.He put his hand on his forehead and sighed deeply, "Forget it, it doesn't matter. I chose this path, it's just...Thank you for your hard work."

He was right, and she was right.It's just that the path chosen is different, and naturally life will lead to a different direction.

Haunting my mind with all kinds of mixed feelings, this won't work.Love is a matter of two people, life is not.Back then, the two chose to turn each other into ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends at the same time. Although neither of them made hasty decisions, there were no quarrels and conflicts, but they both knew that it was best not to see each other again.

Because the love hidden in the bones cannot be removed.Rationality can overwhelm sensibility in an instant, but as time goes by, that feeling becomes stronger and stronger, and it only takes one glance to break the emotional embankment in my heart.

The glimpse at Kubado Central Hospital showed how difficult it was for both of them.

……

Conan was indeed not an ordinary child, he had been sitting quietly by the side without saying a word.

She adjusted her emotions, tried her best to divert her attention from Amuro, and looked at Conan, pretending to be curious: "Speaking of which, how did you know that I knew him before? I think my acting skills should be excellent. Picky."

It doesn't matter if it's at Kuwano Central Hospital or at a hot spring hotel.

Conan felt extremely embarrassed after watching the play for a long time and couldn't get in a word. He finally changed the subject, and he immediately picked up: "Ah, that, various small details. I also watched for a long time before I discovered some clues. Lied to it."

"nitty gritty?"

"Well, let me give you a small example. Last time in the case of Mr. Shenmu's safe, we experienced a power outage in the elevator. Do you remember what Brother Amuro said? 'Don't panic, keep calm'... I can feel it in the dark. He said it in the direction of Teacher Judy and me. In other words, he subconsciously believes in you very much, so there is no need for him to remind you."

Was that vague sense of familiarity exposed?

Yingying smiled silently.

"But in fact, I have never been [-]% sure, so I asked you tentatively." Conan chuckled, "To be honest, I doubted your identity, after all, you hid your relationship, Brother Amuro, he is... Well, later on I found out Brother Amuro was an undercover agent sent by the police, and I remembered that you were transferred to the second investigation section later, Ms. Orimai, so I wondered if you were also a police officer before."

"Well, that's right." It's not a secret, Yingying nodded happily, "I've been in the Public Security Department of the Metropolitan Police Department before, and it's that guy... as Zero's direct unit."

Conan wondered: "Then why did you leave?"

The lingering smile paused and gradually faded.As if recalling something from a long time ago, she said lightly after a long time: "...because an important senior from the Ministry of Public Security died in an undercover mission, I realized how dangerous a job it is... What about me? , is a stable and selfish person, he doesn't want to be in danger, it can be regarded as an escape, relying on his family relationship, he left."

She is real and doesn't like a life that is too unstable.

……

Toru Amuro hadn't spoken for a long time, and it seemed that he didn't know what to say.Ying Ying felt that this was the end of the conversation, and stood up: "Check out, Mr. Amuro."

"Ah? Ah..." He seemed to have recovered from his distant memory, looked at the card raised in front of him, and waved his hand, "Forget it, just treat it as my invitation."

"Then how can I do it? I came to thank you, so why did you invite me instead?" Yingying refused with a smile and insisted on swiping the card.

Knowing that he couldn't screw her up, Amuro collected the fee mechanically.Realizing that she was going to leave, she lifted her foot and walked out of the counter before being stopped.

She said, "Don't send it away."

Conan followed behind Yingying.

As the bell rang, she still couldn't help but stop and said the last sentence:

"I hope that after this time, we can do what we wish each other and never meet again."

……

Conan stared at her blankly: "Miss Ori Mitsui, did you and Mr. Amuro have any deep hatred... don't you want to meet again?"

She also stopped, looked at the sky, and took a long time to let out a breath.

"Do you understand? If two inappropriate people can't control their feelings after meeting, it's better to disappear."

The author has something to say:

It's time to post couplet window grilles tomorrow, I wish you all a happy new year in advance!
