I'm in Detective Conan, but it's a chaotic battlefield.

"Yes."

"Then why did you have to seize the disk? Why didn't you just say so?"

Amuro Tooru smiled and said, "I can't just say it directly. Gin is not going to give it to me."

Chen Nuo asked doubtfully, "So you can just take it and nothing will happen?"

"I'm just afraid of trouble, but I'm not afraid of Gin at all." Amuro Tooru put away his gun when he saw that Chen Nuo had no intention of attacking. "Besides, there's that person standing behind me. Gin can only suffer in silence this time."

Amuro Tooru seemed to suddenly remember something: "Oh right, you don't need to worry about being punished by Gin. The fact that you didn't flinch under my threats is enough to prove..."

Chen Nuo: "I shot your gun away..."

Toru Amuro: "..."

There was a few seconds of silence.

"In short, Gin won't make things difficult for you. Your mission ends here," Amuro Tooru said. "Keep working hard. The organization is in dire need of fresh blood like you. But don't lose sight of your principles during the promotion process, or you won't go far."

Amuro Tooru turned and left after he finished speaking.

The figure, draped in a green raincoat, swayed unsteadily and quickly disappeared into the rain.

As Chen Nuo watched Amuro Tooru's retreating figure, he wondered if this guy was trying to recruit him into the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

No way?

Putting aside the risks, he had no interest in protecting this country, since it wasn't his own.

If this weren't a completely fictional, independent world, he would definitely wait until he became powerful enough to do something within his capabilities.

Even if we can't handcraft a nuclear bomb, killing a few remnants of the old era shouldn't be too difficult.

.

As Amuro Tooru turned the corner, his once upright body suddenly bent over.

He rubbed his lower back and muttered a complaint: "This newbie is pretty tough. I almost beat him. Is that drug really that effective?"

Amuro Tooru limped into his beloved Mazda.

Closing the car door instantly shut out the sound of the pattering rain.

The car was filled with the scent of cologne, and a gaunt man wearing briefs printed with "Cute Magical Girl P" was slumped in the back seat.

He is also the owner of this raincoat.

Amuro Tooru pulled the disk out of his pocket, but accidentally pulled out a shopping receipt as well.

Amuro thought to himself, "Oh no, I forgot to tell that new guy about that thing."

Amuro Tooru instinctively wanted to push open the door, get out of the car, and go back to find Chen Nuo, but his hand ultimately stopped on the car door handle.

Is it okay if I don't tell him?

It's good to scare that kid a little. Who told him to be so ruthless and not know how to flatter his seniors? He doesn't know how to directly expose other people's polite words.

I really don't know how he survived under Gin for so long.

Is it because of the contrast provided by vodka?

Well, since you were able to shoot my gun away, this little thing shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?

Amuro Tooru folded the receipt and carefully put it away, even though the contents of it were unrelated to this mission.

But that didn't stop him from getting reimbursed by the organization.

.

Before Chen Nuo could even return to the crime scene, he received a text message from Gin.

[Mission canceled, continue your vacation.]

Chen Nuo replied with "Okay".

But he wasn't in a good mood. Although there was no immediate risk of exposure on the part of the organization, he still couldn't get his hands on the disk he wanted.

Could it be related to the storyline of this world?

Although the ways they lost the data were different, the result was the same: in the original work, Ai Haibara was also unable to retrieve the data from the disk.

Unhappy, Chen Nuo shouted loudly before even reaching the crime scene: "The murderer is Mr. Shirakura."

Everyone in the room froze, all looking toward the door, until Chen Nuo appeared before them with a displeased expression.

"Mr. Shirakura?"

"But he didn't have the time to commit the crime..."

Several people expressed their opinions.

Shirakura Yo, who was forced to the center of the stage, was extremely shocked.

He had almost convinced the police to let him go.

Unexpectedly, someone suddenly appeared and said that the murderer had been found, and it was the boy who had been looking at him strangely earlier.

This made Bai Cangyang feel somewhat guilty.

Did he really figure out the secret of the secret room?

Although Bai Cangyang appeared calm on the surface, he was actually panicking inside because the answering machine tape covered with his fingerprints was still at the scene.

Once the police discover the fingerprints on it, the whole scheme will be exposed.

However, after investigating for so long, the police still couldn't crack the method of the locked room. How could a young kid so easily see through the flaws?

After thinking for a moment, Shirakura Yo decided to fight to the bitter end.

"What nonsense are you spouting, kid? I had no time to commit the crime at all. Even the police have confirmed that, haven't they?" Bai Cangyang said angrily.

Morioka Michio, a fellow Go player who was also trapped and unable to leave, complained, "Exactly, can you please stop wasting our time?"

“No, although it looks like Professor Hirota died in an accident, the murderer could have perfectly created this locked room using the answering machine tape and the chess pieces.” Chen Nuo walked to the answering machine and picked up the white chess pieces scattered nearby.

"The phone tape?"

"Western chess pieces?"

Everyone looked confused upon hearing Chen Nuo's words, except for Bai Cangyang, whose expression was very unnatural; he could no longer maintain his previous confidence.

Chen Nuo glanced at him indifferently and continued, "Now I'm going to recreate the methods used by the murderer at the scene. Mrs. Hirota, do you have any answering machine tapes of the same size at home?"

"There should be quite a few new tapes left. I'll go get them for you." Mrs. Hirota turned and went to another room, returning quickly with several tapes.

Chen Nuo took the tape and began his explanation:

"First, pull out the answering machine tape, then put the tape into the telephone..."

After pulling out these tapes, go outside this door, and thread the answering machine tape through the circle on the key…

As Chen Nuo spoke, he completed the setup of the venue.

What was finally revealed to everyone was a key threaded onto an answering machine strap and left outside the door, with three chess pieces forming a book along the path of the key and the answering machine.

This way, as soon as the phone starts recording, the tape will gradually roll up, pulling the key from outside into the room. After the key knocks over the chess piece, it will be pressed under the book.

Chen Nuo did not give the murderer any chance to refute.

They directly repeated Shirakura's method of setting up a secret room for murder in front of everyone.

Everyone was shocked.

Of course, the one who finds it hardest to accept is Conan.

Conan never expected that after sitting here pondering for so long, Chen Nuo would beat him to it in the end.

Although Chen Nuo's reasoning proved that his guess was correct.

The problem did indeed lie in the unobstructed passage between the answering machine and the door.

But just guessing the direction isn't enough.

It's better to have guessed the wrong way. That bastard Chen Nuo's reasoning is exactly the same as mine, yet he always manages to find the murderer.

Doesn't that just prove he's inferior to Chen Nuo?

Conan was enveloped by an indescribable sense of powerlessness.

He didn't want to watch Chen Nuo receive everyone's praise anymore, so he turned around and walked out.

By this time, the police had completely surrounded Shirakura Yo.

"Mr. Shirakura, do we still need to check the fingerprints on the tape again?" Officer Yokomizo walked over with a serious expression.

Shirakura opened his mouth, only to find that he seemed to have lost the ability to speak.

Her previously flawless acting skills were completely useless at this moment.

How did this kid figure that out?

Shirakura Yo simply couldn't understand how this kid could so easily solve the locked-room mystery that even the Metropolitan Police Department's detectives had been searching for for ages without finding a clue.

But it was too late to say anything now. He knelt down on both knees: "It's all Professor Hirota's fault for refusing to give me the photos and for verbally humiliating me..."

Shirakura Yo began to repent.

Chen Nuo also successfully acquired Professor Hirota's soul.

When he entered the mining interface, he noticed that Professor Hirota's mining posture was a bit strange.

He was swaying unsteadily, like a drunkard.

Upon closer inspection, Chen Nuo noticed that Professor Hirota's spirit form still had a rosy complexion.

Could it be that he's still drunk?

He didn't expect this cheat to have such an Easter egg, but after observing for a while, he didn't find any effect of being drunk on mining.

Perhaps it just looks interesting.

Chen Nuo glanced at the sword level again and found that the skill of Beichen Ittō-ryū was about to be upgraded to level 2. He wondered what new skills it would give him then.

A single backflip was enough for him to successfully counterattack even with Amuro Tooru pointing a gun at him.

With a few more skills, it wouldn't be impossible for him to show off in front of Gin.

Chen Nuo couldn't help but feel a little excited.
