Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

"Maybe they were killed in batches, but in the end, they were all wiped out."

"Did he sustain serious injuries from the internal fighting? If he could be saved, the history you wanted to change would have been achieved. Not only would the other party be held entirely responsible by one murderer, but his death would also be continually delayed by his imprisonment."

Inspector Megure thought about it and realized that the only way all three of them could be wiped out was if the winner was also covered in wounds and fell together in the end.

"Well, who knows who the murderer is? I don't know the murderer's name anyway."

Although Zhixing said that he did not want to get involved in cases involving the Black Organization, after all, getting involved would not change the outcome. Instead, it would convey his personality as a future man to the Black Organization, and they might then kill him off as a precaution to silence him.

Although Zhixing has confirmed his retreat route, as long as he can hold on until midnight, he can either escape the pursuit by jumping through time, or simply go back and look for other worlds to enter.

No matter how you look at it, the Paper Industry has the capital to participate in the Black Organization's events.

However, even so, Zhixing had no confidence that he could survive until midnight under the sniping of Gin and others.

So Kazuyuki didn't report the case directly to Inspector Megure. Anyway, there was an undercover public security officer in there, and it wouldn't be of much use before he met Conan.

Telling it now will do nothing except letting the Black Organization find out.

"Do you have any clues about the deceased?"

Inspector Megure recalled the information he had learned from other people and the information he had collected from the paper merchant, and he compiled it one by one during the two weeks that the paper merchant was missing.

"You know what, there is actually a clue that can lead to the identity of the deceased."

"Really? Nothing happened to the current victim yet!"

"Well, right now, he's still alive and well. Should we try to contact him as a police officer? I guess he'll be ruined even faster."

"As long as you tell us where the criminal is, we will naturally protect his safety while arresting him."

"Then, without further ado, let's go together."

Zhixing was about to walk out of the interrogation room, but Inspector Megure stretched out his hand to stop Zhixing.

"Just tell us what you know. I won't let you follow me anymore."

"Then in exchange for your death date, can you let me go?"

"No, I don't believe you!!"

Zhixing frowned and looked at Inspector Megure. Inspector Megure also looked at Zhixing without fear, not at all afraid of Zhixing's death countdown threat.

"You're going to try it yourself?"

"It's not just me, it's all the officers in our Investigation Division. We will all work hard."

Inspector Megure looked at the paper and said confidently:

“In the past, we only arrived at the scene after receiving a report, so we could only search for evidence and arrest the criminals.”

"And now that you've appeared, we have a chance to save someone's life. So we will do our utmost to protect the victim's life. So please tell us what you know."

Zhixing paced back and forth in the interrogation room for a long time before making a decision under the expectant gaze of Inspector Megure.

"Okay, I can tell you about today's incident and even the next victim, but I have one request."

"Another request?"

When Inspector Megure heard about Jixing's request, he immediately wanted to refuse. After all, with his past identity and non-magic professional perspective, it was difficult for him to judge whether Jixing's request was too much.

"Don't be nervous, the request I made is very reasonable."

Zhi Xing saw Inspector Megure's disgust, but still interrupted him:

"As I said, my purpose in coming here is to explore the impact of changing history. This naturally includes using different methods to prevent the fate of the victim."

"So, since this case involves three people, I've decided that for the first person, I'll tell you the intelligence, and you'll try to stop it, regardless of whether you succeed or fail. For the second person, I'll only tell you who the victim is, and you'll need to find him. If both fail, then no matter how much you try, I'll personally change the fate of the third person."

Inspector Megure was puzzled.

"Why did the second person only tell the name?"

"Because I don't trust you!"

Zhi Xing said in front of Inspector Megure:

"The savior of the police force has disappeared, so what can you who are left do?"

"You should believe me, right? You should know there's a list of people who need your protection."

"As the intelligence I provide becomes increasingly scarce, the extent to which you can deliver will determine the extent of our future cooperation. Do you understand that?"

Inspector Megure looked at the paper line in front of him. He knew that the other party had a lot of life-threatening information, but he did not take human life seriously at all. Now he even used it as a test subject to measure whether he would cooperate in the future.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't detain Zhixing, Inspector Megure would have asked the officers to take Zhixing to other police stations for interrogation long ago.

"Okay, let's trust each other again. Please tell me about this case."

With the idea that every life counts, Inspector Megure thought about it for a while and finally agreed to cooperate with the paper company.

Chapter 144 Why is there no choice among three?

A day had passed since the conversation with Inspector Megure. After experiencing another change of day and night, Zhixing found that the date did not skip, but transitioned normally to the next day.

There are already three cases available for reference. Zhixing determined that the real time here will only stay on the day when someone was killed. If there are no casualties on that day, it will be skipped at a very fast speed.

At the same time, Zhixing also knew that this time jump had nothing to do with whether he was asleep or not, so he no longer had to worry about being suddenly surrounded by a group of people and taken away after falling asleep.

After all, the paper bank has confirmed it. Unless you choose to go back, this kind of time jump will only allow you to return to the same place you left, making it easy to be targeted.

When Zhixing confirmed the information and fell asleep peacefully, when he woke up, he saw Takagi Wataru coming to the hall of the detention room, looking troubled and not wanting to disturb Zhixing's rest.

"What's wrong, officer? Do you have something to talk to me about?"

Seeing that the other party didn't notice that he had gotten up, Zhixing took the initiative to say hello.

"Ah, that, Mr. Kamijou, who is the...the second victim?" Takagi asked hesitantly.

"Why are you concerned about the second one? What was the result of the first one? We have such a huge intelligence advantage, there can't be any mistakes."

Zhixing vaguely felt that something was wrong. In Zhixing's opinion, his so-called cause and effect of 0 might just mean that in the world of Madoka Magica, the resistance to the witch's kiss is 0. It is not really based on the theory of cause and effect, which fixes everyone's ending.

After all, in reality, the endings of each person in each reincarnation of Homura are different. It is only because she is involved that Homura has a misunderstanding.

But why? I probably didn't touch Inspector Megure. At most, the notebook touched my hand when I handed it to him. That doesn't count as contact in any way. So why did I lose despite having such a big advantage?

He had just verified his guess last night and had relaxed because he knew he had a way out, but his heart was aroused again because of Takagi's performance. He couldn't help but ask about the situation of the first criminal who was killed.

"Indeed, based on the information you provided, we learned from Maori Kogoro that the person they were looking for was Hirota Kenzo, and that Maori and his men had already completed the commission and sent the daughter back to her father."

"But when we arrived, we saw the victim's body. It was obvious that the victim had no time to clean up the situation and was scared away by our arrival."

"Wait!" Zhi Xing raised his hand to interrupt Gao Mu's explanation, and asked in confusion: "When I talked to Officer Megure, it was in the morning, right? Did they finish it so quickly?"

"Well, Detective Maori found the victim at the horse farm this morning and followed him all the way to his residence. He was planning to go home for lunch, but after contacting the client, the client immediately arrived. At noon, the woman who delivered the client saw the victim."

Simply by recounting what happened, Takagi quickly recovered his composure and was no longer as nervous as before. Instead, the calm Shixing who had just woken up began to get nervous.

"No, I was waiting for Officer Megure to arrive at work when I was at work. He got the information from me and then asked Maori Kogoro. At least it would be faster than the end time of the racecourse, right?"

"Well... indeed, we first contacted Maori's office by phone. After confirming his name, we began investigating. At that time, Maori hadn't arrived at the racecourse yet, so we didn't know the address and weren't sure we'd meet him, so we didn't mention it."

"You mean... you blame me for revealing the information too early?" Zhixing looked stunned. He indeed had not had any contact with Inspector Megure, but the source of all this actually pointed to him.

Zhixing didn't remember these foreign names very well, let alone the extras that would be used once and never again, so Zhixing didn't remember the names of the robbers in this 10 billion case. He only knew that one of the women was Haibara's sister.

That's why Inspector Megure was asked to ask Kogoro Mouri, after all, only Mouri and his friends knew the address.

"No, that..." Takagi Shigeru wanted to deny the idea of ​​taking responsibility on the paper bank, but if he did so, the death would become the result of a mistake on the police's side.

After all, the victim was still alive and well in broad daylight. It was only at noon that Inspector Megure led his team to Mori's house and asked for the address. He rushed there as soon as possible, but still failed to make it in time.

If we have to talk about responsibility, it would be that when they contacted each other by phone during the day, he did not inform Mori in advance about the importance of Kenzo Hirota and asked Mori to terminate the investigation.

After all, although Inspector Megure is willing to believe the future information that Jixing said, this kind of thing obviously cannot be regarded as accurate intelligence that would cause a working detective to stop working to support his family.

"By the way, I haven't told you the cause of the victim's death yet. He was..."

"Was she strangled to death by a tall man?" Zhixing answered quickly.

"...It's like this... How do you know..." Takagi originally wanted to say that this had nothing to do with the detective. After all, the client was just a girl and it was obvious that she could not commit a crime.

So it’s not that the police didn’t arrive in time, but if the detective hadn’t found the address, the other party would have been killed at noon. So unless Mouri was not called by the client to give directions when Megure arrived at the detective agency, the result would have been the same.

"The second victim is the tall man. If you have any clues about him, contact Maori immediately and have them notify us if they have any. They should have heard about it from their colleagues."

"I know, let's go now!"

Gao Mu saluted subconsciously, then hurriedly left the hall of the detention room, leaving Zhi Xing alone to review the situation.

Conan learned from the pet name that the first victim might be at the horse farm, so everyone went to the horse farm the next day, which was yesterday afternoon, and found the victim. After returning home and informing the client, the client immediately rushed over, probably because he was always concerned about the victim's news.

But this was the most flexible time available. After all, the second victim's address could only be located with Conan's tracker, and since this tracker was a newly acquired item, it ran out of power quickly. He had no choice but to charge it at the professor's house for a long time before heading to their destination with Maori and the others.

In other words, Conan didn't even catch up, let alone let the police car follow Conan's instructions without revealing Conan's ability to locate the target.

If I couldn't save the first one, then there was naturally no chance for the second one. After all, I don't remember which hotel it was.

The only person who could possibly be saved is Huibara's sister. What's her name? Anyway, she'll eventually hide the money, meet Gin in a remote place, and become the third victim.

If you want to prevent this tragedy, you can just stop her at the hotel where she escapes from the crime scene. This is the time with the greatest chance. Otherwise, once she leaves, you can only follow Conan's location, chase the exhaust, and always walk one step slower.

"Well, it seems I still have half a day. No, the third person died at night. In other words, Conan repaired the tracker after school? So leisurely?"

Thinking this, Zhixing went to clean up his personal hygiene, then confirmed with the police officer outside the hall what he wanted to eat for lunch, and finally asked where Inspector Megure was.

"I don't know. I've been staying here on guard. How would I know where Inspector Megure is now? I haven't received any instructions from the inspector. Anyway, you can't go out."

The police officer guarding the gate stopped the paper shop.

"Why, what is my crime for staying here?"

"Intentional injury, deception, there seem to be quite a few charges, and they are all your crimes."

Zhixing raised his eyebrows and stopped insisting on going out.

"Okay, then during lunch time, please give a message to Officer Megure."

The police officer hesitated for a moment, but considering that his shift would be over after lunch, he nodded and reluctantly agreed to Shixing's request. After all, Shixing seemed to have a special relationship with Inspector Megure.

Otherwise, if all these charges were put together, he would not be thrown into jail immediately, but at least he would be put into the temporary detention room of the police station. How could he be allowed to walk around freely in this completely unguarded place?

Seeing the police officer nod, Zhixing confidently put forward his request: "I need to go to the Maori Detective Agency to wait for the address of the third victim. If I leave from the police station, I'm afraid everything will be too late."

After doing all this, Zhixing saw that nothing was wrong, so he sat in the hall in a daze. Until noon, when Zhixing was halfway through his meal, Inspector Megure finally came to the hall again and came to Zhixing's side.

"Inspector Megure, have you eaten?"

Zhixing looked at the portion he had not finished and immediately suspected that Inspector Megure had rushed over without having lunch.

"Not yet. What's the meaning of your message? Why is it Maori brother again?"

The first thing Inspector Megure said was to ask about Kogoro Mouri, who had been mentioned twice by Kazuya.

"Didn't I tell you? I wrote down that death list based on a famous detective's case collection. I originally wanted to keep it secret, but now that I've come to this point in time, there's no need for me to hide it."

"Are you saying that the list contains all cases handled by Brother Maori?"

"Yes, the cases solved by the Maori Detective Agency, now that Kudo Shinichi is gone, Maori Kogoro will directly become famous and become a famous detective."

"Um...Brother Kamijou, you said you only remembered the victim's name. Could it be that..." Inspector Megure was a little embarrassed to speak, but after thinking about it, it was Maori Kogoro, he still asked, "Did you arrest the wrong criminal, so you didn't remember the criminal's name?"

Zhi Xing waved his hand, as if to prove Mao Li's ability to Inspector Megure, and explained:

"I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I'm well aware of Maori Kogoro's reasoning ability, but the criminals who were eventually caught are the real murderers."

"That's really not convincing."

Although this information came from Zhixing, a man from the future, and a human life was just lost yesterday to verify Zhixing's statement.

But for Inspector Megure, who had worked with Mouri, it was hard to believe that Kogoro Mouri became a famous detective.

"I cannot agree to such a request. Our cooperation is limited to the two of us. We cannot implicate innocent people."

Zhixing frowned and looked at Inspector Megure, not understanding why they could accept the setting of people from the future, but couldn't accept that Maori could become a famous detective?

After expressing his opinion, Inspector Megure was about to leave to eat his lunch. Shixing quickly put down his cutlery and tried to persuade him to stay:

"1. Maori Kogoro's reasoning is unreliable because the logic is too direct."

Inspector Megure stopped and looked at Zhixing in confusion. Zhixing then raised his second finger and continued:

"2. Maori Kogoro is a professional when it comes to capturing affairs, tracking, and finding pets."

"3. If the case involves Maori's family and friends, then please trust Maori's reasoning."

"4. Trust the reasoning of the sleeping person, regardless of whether it is Maori Kogoro or not."
