Edogawa Conan is a detective who would rather bend than bend.
He has never compromised on anything when he has grown up. He has always believed that right is right and wrong is wrong. He should do what he should do, and he should not do what he should not do.
Until he encountered the Waterloo of life.
From a seventeen-year-old high school detective to a primary school student who can't do anything, Conan can only worry in his heart when facing some cases.
With his status, even if he explains his reasoning clearly, he will be interrupted at the beginning.
Fortunately, the doctor gave him some props, allowing him to hide behind his back and tell the truth about each case.
Then...he encountered his second Waterloo.
In his righteous life, a fellow traveler with a gray background is inserted.
Haibara Ai, the manufacturer of the drug that made him smaller, and an accomplice who helped the terrorist organization research the murderous drug.
Of course, the above is just his first evaluation of Haihara Ai.
As he gradually got to know him, Conan learned that Haihara Ai did not voluntarily develop poison for the organization. She has relatives in the organization, and she needs to have a value to ensure that she and her relatives can survive, and this medicine is the only barrier to her survival.
Moreover... Haihara Ai once said that this drug was not developed as a poison.
Someone kills someone with a knife, but we can’t imprison the person who developed the knife. In the same way, someone accidentally developed a drug with a very high fatality rate and was used by others to kill people. Edogawa Conan had no way to blame the person who developed the drug.
Since then, Conan, who is all about black and white, has learned that there is also gray in this world.
Then, he learned that Kuroki Jin, who he always thought was white, was actually black, and suffered his third Waterloo.
In the days of dealing with the organization (working hard to obtain information under the clutches of Kuroki Jin), Conan learned to compromise.
He can act coquettishly just to go to a suspicious place with Kuroki Ren, and he will work hard even if his head is touched. He could repeatedly step on the edge of exposure and constantly test Kuroki Jin's attitude. Even if his identity was exposed two days ago, he did not want to escape.
It's not that he can't escape, but he subconsciously feels that if only Kuroki Jin knows, then there is no need to escape.
I don’t know since when, Edogawa Conan gave Kuroki Jin a little trust.
If he had seen Kuroki Jin sneaking out before, Edogawa Conan might have already staged a drama in his mind that he was the murderer. But today, even after waiting for a short while in the rain, Conan didn't look at Kuroki Jin with his scrutinizing and suspicious eyes.
Unconsciously, he seemed to have changed a little.
Kuroki Jin chuckled, looked back in the direction of the garage, and said softly: "I called the police."
Conan showed a look of surprise, "I didn't expect you to take the initiative to call the police."
"Sooner or later, we have to call the police," Kuroki said with a helpless smile, "Be proactive and strive for leniency."
"But if you don't watch them in the house, is that okay?"
"We're all asleep, so there's no problem." Conan hesitated, "Forget it, let's go back. When will the police arrive?"
"Two hours if it's quick." Kuroki Ren estimated the time, "Of course, there's no telling if it'll be slow."
Conan raised his eyebrows slightly, and just when he was about to say something, he heard a short but sharp scream in the room.
Both of them changed their expressions. Conan turned around and ran into the house. Kuroki Ren deliberately lagged half a step behind and blocked the window near the sofa first.
With this scream, several people sleeping on the sofa were awakened. Marui, who was sitting on the ground and half asleep on the sofa, even stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
"Miss Noriko...ah——!!!"
Mao Lilan, who was sleeping on the big sofa, looked at Noriko Sansu who was sleeping next to her in horror. A knife was inserted in the middle of her chest. Her wide-open eyes stared at a certain position reluctantly, her mouth wide open and sounds kept coming from her throat.
"Miss Misu!" Mouri Kogoro saw this and stepped forward quickly, "Who is it? Did you see who it is?!"
This prisoner was so audacious that he dared to commit such a murder in full view of the public!
Sansu Noriko shook her head, with a look of pain on her face, holding the knife on her chest with both hands, and finally breathed without saying a word.
Maori Ran, who was sleeping next to Misu Noriko, was frightened. With one hand, she protected Haibara, who was also awakened and was sleeping next to her, to the edge of the sofa, while looking warily at the bewildered Saitian Emi. .
Ayita Emi was sitting alone on a small sofa. On her left was Haihara Ai, and on her right was Kitaniharaji. The person sitting next to Kitaniharaji was supposed to be Isamu Marui, but for some reason he fell asleep and slept under the sofa.
The sudden change made everyone present start to become suspicious, and just then Conan ran back from outside, panting, and glanced at the people in the room.
"Why...why did Noriko...?" Caita Emi's eyes turned red, "Who on earth did such a thing!"
Her suspicious eyes swept over Kitani Haruji and Marui Isamu, and finally settled on Marui.
Marui bounced up from the ground and shouted: "What do you think I'm doing?!"
"I didn't kill the person! I still suspected that it was you who did it. Noriko was acting weird towards you before!"
Marui's red eyes looked at Caita Emi fiercely like a ferocious beast, "It must be you who attacked Noriko because you were jealous of her!"
"Don't... don't make any noise..." Kitaniharaji said weakly, "Detective... Didn't Detective Mori notice anything? Noriko is right next to you..."
Kitani's words shifted Marui's focus, and he suddenly said, "Yes, Detective, didn't you keep saying you wanted to protect Noriko? You haven't told us the specific clues yet, is this the result of your protection!?"
Mouri Kogoro's face was ugly. Looking at the lifeless Noriko Misu, he was a little annoyed as to why he could still fall asleep at such a critical time.
Obviously in order to stay awake, he asked Kuroki Jin to make a lot of coffee for him to drink.
Speaking of Kuroki Jin…
"Where's Kuroki?" Mouri Kogoro picked up Conan, who was coming over to look at the body, and threw him to Xiaolan. Because of the moisture on his clothes, Haibara Ai, who had just woken up and was still a little panicked, pushed him forward. .
Conan: "..."
"Here." Seeing that no one jumped out of the window to escape, Kuroki Ren came in, but he had been standing at the door observing the three people just now.
"What are you going out for?" Marui, who was originally impatient, became even more irritable because of Noriko's death. "Didn't we agree that everyone would be in the house? If you didn't go out, the murderer wouldn't have dared to commit murder!"
"If you weren't asleep, he might not dare." Heimuren said back rudely, "Besides, I went out to call the police."
"Call the police..." Marui said silently, "Does the phone have signal?"
"There are a few places outside." Kuroki Jin said briefly, "The police should be coming to the mountain in about two hours. Before that, it's best for us to stay together."
"Stay together?" Marui sneered, "Look at the result of staying together! Whichever of you likes to stay here, just stay here, I'm going down the mountain!"
"Marui..." Kugu called his name, trying to persuade him to calm down.
"I think you have a guilty conscience." Caita Emi sneered, "You kill someone and want to run away before the police come. You can't let him go!"
"I think you are the one who murders and muddies the waters!"
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
