Hearing this, Zhihang didn't intend to listen any further. He immediately shook his head, patted the suitcase in his hand and said:

"No, I won't say anything. This is a relatively important case, and I don't intend to make too many changes."

Inspector Megure followed Paper Line's movements and looked at the suitcase he had been carrying.

Because they were going to travel together, they had already verified the contents of the two bags at the paper shop when they were at the police station.

A box of gold, and it was the gold that Inspector Megure had inquired about and was actually obtained through a transaction with the Suzuki Group.

"I know it wasn't easy for you to come from the future, and it's understandable that you want to make money from this. However, the nature of this case is different. Theoretically, the person in charge of this case will also be another police captain. By then, when they know you have evidence, they will no longer care about our agreement."

"If you provide a clue before the other officers arrive and we catch the criminal, you'll be considered a helpful citizen providing important information. I can also apply for a bonus for you. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

After hearing what Inspector Megure said, Zhixing lowered his head and carefully recalled the plot of Tsukikage Island, then raised his head again and replied:

"I'm sorry, but I still can't promise you that I won't reveal the names of the people involved in this case. You can find them on your own."

"but..."

Zhi Xing raised his hand to interrupt Inspector Megure's subsequent dissuasion, and then explained to Inspector Megure:

"I understand your feelings. If this happened in my hometown, I would also be eager to trace it back to the top and eradicate the source of this matter."

"But this isn't my hometown, and I'm not really safe."

"Didn't Officer Megure also learn from Officer Li how I retrieved my luggage? As I said, this wasn't a good thing, but the backlash of changing my fate, which made it impossible for me to return to the future."

"Otherwise, when I disappear with my luggage, the next time I'll be at another murder scene, instead of this half-hearted diversion."

"There's no way back to the future now, so I have to choose carefully what information I share about the future."

"I will not disclose any more information until I know what level of impact will not endanger my life."

"Could it be that you don't have the confidence to find out the identity of the criminal, and you can only rely on me to sacrifice my own safety to help you achieve your goal?"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure didn't know how to persuade him. After all, regarding the one-sided statement on paper about the impact of changing one's destiny, Inspector Megure had no way to guarantee any safety.

Seeing that Inspector Megure didn't respond immediately, Zhixing quickly picked up the suitcase and walked into the house, then answered the original question:

"Don't worry about them escaping. Just pretend you haven't found that thing, and they'll all be there. Officer Megure, you'll have a day to investigate."

"That's all I have to say. Keep going, everyone. After all, I just hitched a ride on your boat. You won't need to send me off later."

Faced with such an arrogant attitude of Jixing, Inspector Megure did not feel too much dissatisfaction. Instead, he thanked him for his final answer:

"Thank you, Kamijou-kun. We will do our utmost to solve this case! We won't let your information go to waste."

Inspector Megure sighed as he watched the figure of the paper merchant disappear from the doorway. The old local police officer who followed Inspector Megure was very puzzled by this and asked:

"Who exactly is that Kamijou-san? Is he a close confidant of some important figure? But he doesn't look like one, judging by his attire."

Inspector Megure hesitated for a moment, not revealing the information about the Paper Guild's magic, the fact that it couldn't be locked up in a house, would drive anyone who got in the way mad, and could even jump through time and appear out of thin air. He simply explained:

"You can treat Kamijou-san as a genuine psychic medium. Although he could be very helpful in this case, I don't have the ability to call on Kamijou-san."

"Alright, we need to seal off the scene now. No one else can know about the investigation. I'm sorry to bother you with staying here too. You can't leave my sight."

The old police officer nodded thoughtfully, then followed Inspector Megure into the community center again.

Paper Walker walked to the crime scene room and saw Conan lying on the bed.

Zhixing was shocked. He didn't expect that Conan would faint in the short few minutes when he was delayed by Inspector Megure. When Conan described the police officer, he didn't say that this would happen.

But Zhixing thought about it again and felt that this situation was somewhat familiar.

This is a sign that the witch no longer has control over her victim's body, whether it's the Rose Witch's victim in the original story or the green-haired girl in the TV show "Hime Witch." I even had Kamijou experience a similar situation back then. I just didn't expect Anko's chocolate to be able to achieve this level of control.

Is it because the world of low magic has a low upper limit, so it is easier to develop comprehensively by analogy, so he encountered a situation that Kyubey had never imagined?

Looking at Conan's current situation, Zhixing really wanted to go up and try to see if he could get something out of the sleeping Conan.

But looking at Xiaolan who was taking care of Conan, and then looking at the various police officers in the room, he gave up the idea of ​​asking questions.

After all, what Conan says is not something that Zhixing can stop. If he directly admits his identity, wouldn't that mean that the Black Organization will find out?

With no way out, Zhi Xing could only put aside his thoughts and lean against a wall, waiting quietly.

I thought that since the other party had stayed up late, he would probably take a nap, but I didn't expect that I would have to wait until the afternoon.

"Mr. Kamijou, what happened to Conan? He's been sleeping for so long, and he still hasn't woken up!"

At this time, Zhixing, who had just finished lunch, came out of the room and saw Xiaolan holding Conan and rushing over to ask about the situation.

"I'm sorry, I can't help. In this situation, it all depends on his luck."

The paper line, like a doctor announcing that he had done his best, added:

"I'm just a powerless person. I just know more about magic than you do now, but I can't really use magic."

"If you really want to save him, you might as well rely on your luck and see if there's any magic you've learned that can handle this situation."

After entrusting Conan to Xiaolan to find a solution, Jixing scanned the scene and found the local residents who had been summoned by Inspector Megure in advance for questioning one by one, but he did not find the next person who was about to die that Jixing wanted to see.

He is fat, bald, and the previous village chief, so he still has authority. He was deliberately placed at the end of the list, so he hasn't come yet.

Zhi Xing glanced at the crowd present, but couldn't see the appearance of the third deceased, so he couldn't help but sigh.

It’s okay that the protagonist is different from the one in the anime, but why do the characters who appear in one or two episodes each look completely different? I’m not so bored that I would even remember the names of the victims.

This won't work. It's a foreign name, and he only appeared for a short time. I can't remember it at all. If this continues, I won't even know what the criminal looks like in the next case, right?

But it's too late to say all this. I can't go back. I can only rely on my fragmentary impressions, go to the scene in person, and try to investigate the case based on the unchanging terrain and buildings.

No, what am I thinking about? There is no offline Conan plot in my computer. Even if I can go back, I can't know the specific circumstances of each case, because while I am watching the plot, time here is passing quickly, which is no different from now.

Zhixing looked around at the people in the hall again, and still didn't recognize anyone except the criminal.

But everyone who was seen by the paper company avoided his sight. It was unknown where the news came from, saying that Kamijou Touma was a psychic and had already known who the murderer was from the corpse's mouth. However, because the police asked for such a high price, they did not buy this clue immediately. Now they are waiting for the police to find out the truth before selling it at a higher price.

Zhixing had no choice but to avoid the crowd. He knew the murderer's appearance and the other party was in the hall, but he could not contact him, otherwise it would be like revealing the answer directly in the eyes of others.

Zhixing also wanted to let the murderer burn himself after finishing his crime, so that Conan could realize the value of life, and then go to the fire scene and rely on the witch's barrier to make the other party disappear, in order to try to change his fate.

So naturally, he couldn't let anyone else interfere with the murderer's actions. He could only hide back in his original position and wait silently for time to pass.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhixing felt a shake, opened his eyes, and saw Xiaolan.

"Conan is awake, come and help me check on Conan!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go take a look."

Zhixing scratched his head and felt that he had fallen asleep for the first time in the whole day because he was so bored.

Under Xiaolan's guidance, Zhixing came from his rest room to the hall. Seeing that there were less than ten people left in the hall, he was stunned for a moment. He glanced around at the people present and did not find the victim of the second case. He quickly said:

"What time is it now? Why are there so few people here?"

Xiaolan quickly responded:

"I tried for a whole afternoon before I finally woke Conan up through some kind of magic. Before I came here, I saw the police officers bringing in lunch boxes. It should be dinner time now."

Upon hearing this, Zhixing couldn't help but look at everyone in the hall, trying to find the victim who had not yet received his instructions to try the experiment.

However, Zhixing not only failed to find someone who met the required appearance, but when he looked at the murderer, he saw that the other party subconsciously avoided his gaze.

That was a reaction that had never occurred before.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this time?"

Xiaolan asked, somewhat puzzled by Zhixing's reaction.

Zhixing frowned, feeling a power called coincidence.

Sure enough, less than a minute after Zhixing stared at the murderer, a burst of music suddenly rang out from the radio.

Just as everyone was stunned by the music, a terrified scream came from the second floor.

Without a moment to mourn the victim's death, a swift blue figure rushed out of the room where Xiaolan was moving.

Then everyone reacted.

Inspector Megure, Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, and everyone else present also rushed to the place where the scream came from.

Only Zhi Xing stood there, holding his hand to his heart. Surrounded by the second movement of the Moonlight Sonata, he widened his eyes and spoke his heart out, somewhat losing control:

"How is this possible? Can I go back?"

Chapter 184: Only when you have money can you have other choices

(I can go back now)

This feeling is exactly what the paper industry has been looking forward to for a long time.

But why now?

Zhixing held the suitcase tightly in his right hand and began to scan the surrounding environment.

Is that white figure nearby? Is it a person?

Zhihang quickly looked around, but except for one person who remained in the hall, everyone else had already heard the noise and rushed to the crime scene upstairs.

The paper looked at the man, and the man looked at the paper.

No, it's not him. He is just the murderer in this case. If that white shadow is really a person, then it must be someone else.

Zhixing took a deep breath and sensed that the feeling in his heart was gradually weakening. Knowing that time waited for no one, Zhixing immediately closed his eyes and observed his surroundings again.

Perhaps because I closed my eyes, the ground's boundaries disappeared from my field of vision.

After turning his head quickly several times, Zhi Xing noticed a figure emerging in his dark vision.

Is it on the second floor? Huh~

The murderer, who had been running behind everyone and even wanted to talk to Zhihang alone at the risk of being discovered, now looked at Zhihang looking around with bags in his hands, and even closed his eyes nervously, as if he was on guard against something.

If the murderer hadn't committed the crime himself, he would probably have been made nervous by this behavior.

"Um...are you okay..."

The murderer was about to step forward to talk, but as soon as he took a step forward, all he saw was an empty hall.

The paper shop that was just standing in the hall disappeared along with its luggage in the blink of an eye by the murderer.

"ah!!!!"

"Whoo~"

Feeling the environment around his body changing rapidly, Zhixing breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, Zhixing looked down at the suitcase in his hand, then looked at the bedroom which had become clearer.

Although he was still extremely confused, a feeling of joy began to spread in Zhixing's heart.

Without even taking off his backpack, Zhixing immediately sat on the bed and quickly entered the password to open the suitcase.

Under the indoor lighting, there wasn't much reflection, but Zhixing still couldn't help but smile.

"It seems I can indeed bring things back from other worlds. It seems that the limitation is the size rather than the weight."

Zhihang carefully counted the 17 gold bars, then tested their hardness with his hands. After making sure that they would not turn into pieces of paper, he closed the box and brought his thoughts back to reality.

"So, that white shadow can actually move during the day? It's just that we can't see it normally?"

Regarding the white shadow that did not exist in the original plot, although Zhixing did not understand the details, he had a certain understanding of it.

Although Conan's world incorporates the situation of Kaito Kidd, so there is something called Lucifer, but the actual effect it can produce is very weak in the low-magic world. There are only two possible identities of the white shadow.

One is the world's top magician.

One is something like Lucifer, which is named after a certain god.

But no matter what his true identity is, the other party is on the side of the Black Organization.

"No, a guy who can see the murder happening must have known about the existence of such an organization a long time ago, so it is possible that he said it on purpose. After all, I am still with Conan."

"If that's the case, then the figure I saw on the second floor must have been it. Did I regain my senses because I saw it when I blinked?"

Zhixing felt something was wrong. After all, before going to Yueying Island, Zhixing spent a night in the police station, but at midnight he did not feel like going back.

Thinking of this, Zhixing's eyes fell on the computer that was still turned on.

"16:02"

Zhixing looked at the time and recalled his own experiences while searching for Conan comics without stopping.

“如果按照我在魔圆时的世界流速来看的话,虽然只能大概估算是3天=12个月,24小时=4个月,6小时=30天,60分钟=5天,12分钟=24小时,60秒=2小时,1秒=2分钟=120秒。”

“而我还记得自己离开的时候特意选了准点的15:11分整,也就是说过去了51分钟,算是102小时,也就是4天多6个小时吗?”
