Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

"Yes. After all, if something happens to one of them, they will tell you about it, whether as a clue or as the murderer."

"Are you really involved in these things?"

"I just knew they were in the newspaper, that's all."

Inspector Megure nodded, closed the notebook, and then looked at the paper to confirm:

"You just said you can't go back, right?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll inconvenience you into spending the night here. I hope you don't mind."

"It's a dream come true."

Inspector Megure gave a slight gesture, and the policeman who had just come out to greet him came to Zhixing, and then, according to Inspector Megure's arrangement, let Zhixing go into a room with a bed.

"Then, Mr. Kamijou, you can rest here first. I won't lock the door for you. When you leave tomorrow, remember to say hello to us. You can't just walk around the police station casually."

"Well, I definitely won't wander around. I'm still waiting for you to make a phone call for me."

Zhixing watched the police complete their task and leave the detention room without even closing the iron door. He then rummaged through his backpack and took out a new notebook.

Or rather, a diary.

"Around 0:0:10, I arrived on the street"

"About a minute later, I heard the sound of gunfire."

"After being spotted and shot at by the enemy, I hid under the wall and escaped their pursuit."

"And after waiting for a while, I heard that others had discovered the body and then escaped from the [alibi] criminal."

"0:51:49, after confirming the withdrawal, I spent the item coins and started calling the target number."

"At 1:43:23, scrolling down by name, sorting by connections, I only got through to 23 people's home numbers, and realized my contact information wasn't in the phone book."

"After ruling out parks as possible burial sites and alleys with more vagrants, we ultimately chose to head to the police station. We found the police precinct at 2:40:41 and learned the location of Inspector Megure's station."

"At 5:46:36, I walked from the precinct to the Metropolitan Police Department and learned that the shooter had been apprehended. I remained remarkably calm."

"At 6:26:51, Inspector Megure appeared and revealed his identity to him, but he didn't openly question it and arranged a room for me, but he didn't take my words to heart."

Zhixing checked his phone to see that it was still fully charged, then looked at the unobstructed walls of the room. He opened the reader on his phone and began to encrypt the contents of the diary. He also encrypted and saved the encryption principle in the e-book on his phone.

After everything was done, Zhixing breathed a sigh of relief, lay down on the bed in the detention center, and slowly fell asleep.

"Inspector Megure, everything has been settled."

"Well, I'm going to rest now. Tomorrow, please tell Kamijou-san not to rush off and to go to the scene as a witness to identify him."

The police officer on duty was puzzled:

"Wasn't the criminal found by the detective and failed to escape on the spot? Do we still need a witness? Besides, what that guy said doesn't seem credible."

"It's true that the criminal was captured by Brother Kudo, but just as Brother Kudo deduced, the second shot was fired to silence the witness. Even after being apprehended, the criminal was still trying to mitigate his guilt, unwilling to add another charge of attempted murder."

"Although Brother Kudo convinced the criminal with evidence, perhaps because it was too dark, the surveillance personnel did not find the location of the second warhead, so we need to go again during the day."

The police officer on duty nodded repeatedly, assured Inspector Megure that he had completed his mission, and then watched the inspector leave the station.

After Megure left, the police officer on the other side came over, opened the notebook, skipped the parts he didn't understand, and saw the death list.

"Hey, do you think this thing is real or fake?"

"What's true or false? Do you believe what he said about the future?"

"Not that, I mean these names."

"Well, what's there to think about? A man wandering around where someone else is having a party. I guess he's probably an inexperienced paparazzi. Look at the bag of food he has. He probably plans to stay out all night."

"Yes, then this should be the list of people at the banquet? I see the name of the person who just died is on it."

"Tsk, it's hard to say where this list came from. Maybe he was scared by the gun, so his mind was confused and he saw the list as a list of people who will die one by one."

"I didn't realize that. You're quite smart. I guess you'll be the next detective."

"Hehehe~"

"Meow~Meow~Woof woof"

The familiar ringtone woke Zhixing up. Zhixing stood up, looked out the window at the still dark night, scratched his head, walked into the hall, took a picture of the wall clock in the hall, and then adjusted the time on his phone to the time in "Detective Conan".

Zhixing glanced at the countdown and wrote in his diary, "11:40:20, woken up by the alarm clock. I adjusted the time with errors, but I still remember it." Then he happily went back to sleep for a nap.

As the sun gradually rose, Zhixing finally managed to sleep without being disturbed by the alarm clock until he was woken up by the police.

"Mr. Kamijou, please wake up. We need your help identifying the scene."

"Huh? Ah, okay."

Zhixing looked at his countdown with an expression as if he hadn't gotten enough sleep.

"14:40:32"

"No amnesia? So the amnesia is due to something else?"

Looking at the sun that was already shining on his butt, Zhixing didn't even bother to wash up. He just took out a steamed bun from his bag and started eating it for breakfast.

"Mr. Kamijou, please follow me."

Led by this unknown police officer, Zhihang came to the lobby and saw many police officers busy at work.

"Didn't you want me to leave before? What's the matter now?"

Under the influence of this working atmosphere, Zhihang immediately sobered up a lot and asked:

"Well, let the police handling the case tell you the details. I'm not sure what exactly happened."

As the police officer spoke, he led the paper walker to a police officer's desk and stopped.

"The witness has arrived."

"Good morning, Kamijou-kun. I'm Takagi Wataru."

"Morning, so what's up?"

"Well, I want to talk to you about this note and visit the scene of the previous sighting. Is that convenient for you today?"

"It's convenient, of course it's convenient for me, feel free to cooperate."

"Then let's set off now without further ado."

Zhixing was then hurriedly taken to the police car by Gaomu. After Gaomu returned the notebook to Zhixing, he drove away from the police station.

Zhi Xing sat in the back seat with a confused look on his face, looking at Gao Mu in front of him and asked:

"What's the matter? Pull me away as soon as I get here."

Takagi was driving, looking at the paper in the rearview mirror, then turned his gaze back to the road and responded:

"Sorry, sorry, I have a lot to do today, so I want to hurry up. Oh, and the notes, your notes."

"What happened to the notes?"

Zhixing opened the notebook and found that the content in the notebook had not changed. Seeing that Takagi seemed to be trying to change the subject deliberately, he still cooperated and asked questions.

"Um, yes, Kamijou-san said yesterday that he contacted the people mentioned in the notes, right?"

"Yes, but it's pointless. The person who answered the call isn't the real person, so there's no way to have effective communication."

"Yes, that's right."

Zhixing checked the stopwatch on his phone and immediately interrupted Gao Mu, who was obviously trying to make small talk:

"What is the current year, month, day, hour, and minute?"

"Eh, eh?"

Gao Mu turned on the car's radio channel, then looked at the date on the radio display and responded:

"Um, today is January 15th, 1994, 9:38 AM. Is there anything I can do for you, Mr. Kamijou?"

"No, nothing, I just didn't expect it to be this time."

Zhixing looked at the countdown on his phone, which showed 15:18:42, and calculated it in his mind, and he knew the time when he came to this world.

"Around 18:20."

Seeing Takagi, who had said he wanted to talk to him about notes but was actually concentrating on driving, Zhixing asked again:

"Is today a school day?"

"Today is Saturday. High school students may still have classes, but elementary school students should be out of school."

“Why do you specifically mention elementary school?”

"Looking at your age, if you have children, they should be in elementary school by now, right?"

"Is that so? Then you must be married already? If I'm not even 30 yet and I have a child in elementary school, then you should have a child in kindergarten already."

Gao Mu turned his head and laughed awkwardly.

Then the atmosphere became silent again.

Zhihang was also happy to have some free time, so he took out his mobile phone and started to encrypt the current situation. The ciphertext used for encryption was a new text composed of the names of the presidents split up and arranged in combinations.

In this way, Takagi drove to his destination, the villa where the shooting took place, while the voice on Zhihang's phone changed from human language to garbled characters.

"We're here."

Takagi stopped the car, got out and opened the door for Zhixing.

After Zhixing thanked him, he saw several people in blue uniforms who were searching for something.

"how's it going?"

After Gao Mu took Zhi Xing out of the car, he led Zhi Xing to the group of people and asked.

"No, we found no traces." A man in a blue uniform announced the result, then looked at Zhihang and asked, "You are the person who witnessed the murder scene before, right? Can you help point out where you were standing at the time?"

"Of course you can, but what are you looking for?"

"Didn't the criminal fire two shots? We are looking for the second bullet he fired."

Zhixing roughly found the angle, informed them of his position, and reviewed his escape route with Gao Mu, wondering:

"Is the second bullet that important? Perhaps it's more important that he was able to get the gun."

"The owner of this villa is a wealthy man. They had numerous opportunities to obtain a gun, and the first shot was intentional, so they usually fake it. This unexpected second bullet given to you is more powerful evidence to convict the murderer."

Listening to the explanation of the forensic department personnel, Gao Mu silently gave them a thumbs up. If he were to think about it, he probably couldn't come up with such a reasonable lie.

Zhixing reviewed his actions and soon arrived at the corner.

"In other words, Kamijou-san only saw the murderer's actions for a moment, then was forced against the wall by the gun, and never looked back at the scene again?"

"Yes, and then I stayed here and waited until the noise in the room over there died down before I escaped." Zhixing pointed to the corner not far away.

"So, you were at the main entrance and didn't see anyone else going in or out, right?"

"Hmm? The main entrance?"

Zhihang curiously walked around the corner, only to find that the main entrance was less than 5 meters away from the corner. He couldn't help but slap his head for his lack of adaptability.

If the other party was not an [alibi] but a [serial killer] type, I would probably have fallen into the tiger's mouth.

"But isn't the murderer just one person? Does he have an accomplice?"

"No, that's not the case. The criminal has already confessed, and Detective Kudo has also concluded that the criminal committed the crime alone."

"Then why hasn't the search of the scene been completed yet? And from what you said, it seems like there are other people?"

Takagi was silent for a while, then looked at his colleagues who were still busy and didn't notice him.

Carefully he turned the corner with the paper and whispered:

"Originally, this matter is confidential to the case and shouldn't be told to you, but I think this kind of thing is quite strange and may endanger you, so I thought about it and decided it would be better to tell you."

"tell me the story?"

Gao Mushi looked at the villa gate so close at hand and swallowed his saliva, but still mustered up the courage to say:

"The man who was murdered here, General Manager Yamazaki of the Yaoling Bank, was a close friend of the murderer. It was only because of money that things got to this point."

"Based on the relationship between the victim and the murderer, they should have trusted each other, which is why they were waiting for him alone in the small house prepared by the murderer."

"But... he smiled."
