Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 429 The Prologue Under the Night
In the bustling metropolis of Tokyo, under the night, the neon lights are colorful, reflecting the lights of the whole city, especially the high-rise buildings, which are shining brightly.

However, a building that is particularly tall even among skyscrapers seems a bit out of place in such a city full of tall buildings - because the lights of this building have not been lit.

And on the roof of this building, at this time, there were two men in black standing.

One of the men with his back against the roof railing had long silver hair hanging behind him——

Gin looked up at the distant sky, took a lit cigarette from his mouth, and then spit out the smoke towards the sky——

"smell……"

"smell?"

Hearing Gin Jiu's sudden speech, another man beside him, Vodka with a slightly burly figure, turned his face wearing sunglasses to him, and asked strangely.

To this, Gin with a cigarette in his mouth did not give a direct answer, but took out a photo from his coat pocket——

In the photo, it was a young woman with brown wavy hair and wearing white clothes. On her beautiful face like a mixed race, when she looked at the camera, she seemed to have a timid expression.

"This……"

Vodka, who saw the photo from the side, couldn't help raising his shoulders, but he already understood the meaning of gin.

And Gin stared straight at the woman in the photo with eyes like staring at prey.

"Is this guy around here?"

Vodka was a little surprised, looked around hastily for a while, and asked curiously.

"It smells like a woman who betrayed us."

While talking, Gin squeezed the cigarette between his fingertips and extinguished it on the armrest:
"In this kind of night, there will be a premonition that we will meet soon...'Shirley'..."

Slightly raised the corners of his lips, Qin Jiu pulled out a smile.

In this regard, Vodka looked at the gin in disbelief, and couldn't help saying:

"But...according to the investigation of 'Bourbon', it is basically certain that 'Shirley' went to Shikoku..."

"Ah……"

Qin Jiu smiled coldly, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and said coldly:
"However, our people did not find any more traces of 'Xue Li' in Shikoku...Since she was able to sneak away from Kyoto without anyone noticing, it is not impossible for her to sneak back from Shikoku. "

Hearing this, Vodka didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only think for a while and said:
"But bro...do we really ignore the matter of Shiodome Gymnasium?"

"Hmph...what's the matter?"

With a sneer, Gin said in an indifferent tone:

"'Hennessy' made mistakes himself, why should we finish it? And don't worry, with 'Hennessy''s code of conduct, no one will find out about him..."

……

"I really didn't expect that there would be a secret passage in Shiodome Gymnasium. This is really unexpected. I didn't expect the truth to be so simple!"

Outside the Metropolitan Police Department, on a "Mazda RX7", a man named "Jinguji" sat in the co-pilot's seat, took a stack of documents from the driver's hand, and after flipping through them, he immediately checked the documents. Expressed surprise at the most critical point, then nodded involuntarily, and said thoughtfully:

"Zero, just give me the case information that is still under investigation, what is your purpose?"

"Don't ask me that."

The main driver was seated, and Toru Amuro, a young man with short blond hair and slightly dark skin, said calmly.

"So... what do you want to know from me?"

Gathering the information in his hands, Jinguji said with some clarity.

"What have you found out about the mastermind behind the two incidents of the Shinkansen and the Mihua Library?"

The main driver got on, Toru Amuro asked.

Regarding this, Jinguji thought for a while, and couldn't help saying:
"Although we are still at a loss as to the mastermind behind it, at present, we have tracked down a suspicious transaction location through the incident in the Mihua Library."

"where?"

Amuro asked.

"On an isolated island belonging to Tokyo, the name is - Moon Shadow Island!"

After saying this, Jinguji stopped talking, glanced at the information in his hand, waved his hand at Toru Amuro, then opened the car door, got out of the car, and left.

However, after Jinguji left, a tall man in an olive suit, with short black hair, a slender face, and glasses with dark oval frames opened the door of the passenger seat with a serious expression on his face. sat in—

"Mr. Jiang Gu...is it really useful to rely on the news from the Department of Narcotics Control?"

The man who just came over had a serious expression and said in a serious way.

In this regard, Toru Amuro was silent for a while, and couldn't help but smile coldly:

"Except for the Mihua Library incident, the Shinkansen and Shiodome Gymnasium incidents were both related to them at the same time... No matter how you think about it, I don't think it's a simple coincidence."

As he spoke, Toru Amuro looked at the person sitting in the passenger seat and asked:

"Kazama, how is the investigation of the person in that photo going?"

"There is no result yet."

The man named "Kazama" shook his head and replied:

"The pictures captured in the photo are limited, and it is difficult to find the target with this photo alone for the time being... And, is it really useful?"

"At least for now, this is the only way."

Amuro said:
"After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as you can catch the other party, that matter will have a clue..."

Hearing this, Kazama no longer said much in this regard, was silent for a moment, and then asked:

"So, Mr. Furuya... are you going back to Shikoku to investigate again soon?"

"Do not."

Amuro smiled lightly:
"I will stay here for the rest of the time!"

——After all, if there was no accident on the Shinkansen, what she showed in her escape, and what she would accidentally leave behind to trace the details would be understandable.

However, when encountering an accident, the ability she displayed, as well as her calmness, meant that she shouldn't have left such an obvious loophole in the entire escape route——

Obviously, no matter whether there is an assistant behind her or not, all the details can only explain one thing - she is deliberately diverting her attention...

That's right, compared to hiding in that kind of place...it's more likely...she should still stay here!

……

"Gaoyuan! Run away—"

The tone was panicked, and the screams dragged on, as Xiao Ai woke up from sleep, she couldn't help shouting from her mouth.

Then, looking at the dimly lit room with lights all around at this moment, Xiao Ai panted heavily with lingering fear, and couldn't calm down for a long time——

Recalling the black figure gradually approaching her from three directions in the dream just now, Xiao Ai stroked her forehead with one hand, forcing herself to calm down——

Fortunately, it was just a dream.

But, how could... have such a dream?

Stretching out her hand to touch the bracelet on her right hand, as if seeking some comfort, Xiao Ai's expression was a little indifferent——

If it really comes to that time, I must not implicate him!

Secretly, Xiao Ai made up her mind...
