Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 718 Overtime, Old Friends, and Dogs

Metropolitan Police Department.

The sensational explosion has come to an end, but the police are still busy dealing with a series of subsequent matters.

It is necessary to report such vicious incidents.

However, this time, they found that the message was delivered a little late... It had been almost a day, and they had not received any criticism from their superiors, which was really weird.

The policemen who had worked overtime for a day slumped in their seats, staring at the ceiling with despair.

Only a few senior officials who were used to working overtime sat at their workstations, either checking their phones or staring blankly...

"Matsuda, when do you think these criminals will stop?"

Miwako Sato stood next to Jinpei Matsuda's workstation, holding a cup of coffee, and sighed sincerely, "It feels like there are so many cases this year."

"Who knows?" Matsuda Jinpei said casually without even looking up, concentrating on checking the news on his phone, "Maybe the end of the world is coming."

"...?"

Sato Miwako was stunned for a moment, then she was speechless:
"I say, can you hope for something good?"

"Isn't this good? If the end of the world really comes, then the original order of human society will be destroyed. In serious cases, the entire social operation model will be forced to stop.

Once the existing rules are invalid, the law will naturally not be able to become a constraint, and crime will naturally not exist.”

Jinpei Matsuda gave a somewhat twisted logic, but it left Miwako Sato at a loss as to how to refute it.

Because at first glance, this statement seems to be quite correct...

If I really wait until the end of the world, maybe I can survive by committing crimes...

And once it reaches that point, 'crime' naturally cannot be considered a crime.

She has seen a lot of doomsday movies, and this truth is actually very obvious.

After holding it in for a while, Sato Miwako decided not to continue the topic. "Come to think of it, the superiors were a little slow in issuing instructions this time. I haven't received any notification yet."

Matsuda Jinpei actually raised his head this time, but his eyes revealed that he didn't care. "These are turbulent times, and the superiors may be very busy, but it should be done soon. After all, this is a big case."

"Well, it's possible."

Sato Miwako seemed to be convinced, but she didn't know what she was thinking about, and she looked a little tired.

She waved her hand and said, "Well, keep working hard. I'm going to rest first."

Matsuda Jinpei spread his hands helplessly, "I don't have much work either, you go ahead."

With the departure of Miwako Sato, the office became less popular again.

Those who work overtime have their own rest space. After all, they are human beings, not made of iron. It is impossible for them to sit in the office without moving for 24 hours a day.

At this time, Takagi Shigeru, who had been secretly peeping nearby, finally found an opportunity.

He moved to the side of Matsuda Jinpei in a way that would not attract attention, and whispered in Matsuda's ear, "Senior Matsuda! The organization has a new notice. Have you read it?"

Matsuda Jinpei's ears moved, "Which organization?"

He did not forget that he was still an "undercover agent".

However, Matsuda Jinpei's question made Takagi Wataru stunned for a moment, and his mouth twitched slightly, "Ah, that, I know, it must be the five-star group..."

“…Oh, that’s right.”

Jinpei Matsuda felt like he might have gone crazy from working overtime.

All in all, his overtime work was much harder than that of a normal person. He had to pretend to catch criminals, do evil as a criminal, and pay attention to the movements of two organizations...

He is so tired.

But it is very fulfilling, almost too fulfilling.

Suddenly, Matsuda Jinpei thought of something: "If it's a notification, I'll wait and see, but for this kind of thing, why don't you just send me a message directly?"

I even sneaked over to tell him...

"… Well, the main thing is that the notice contains information about that organization, and…" Takagi Shigeru looked embarrassed, "I have sent you four or five text messages, but you didn't reply to me."

Matsuda Jinpei: "..."

Well, blame him.

He forgot that he had muted his phone yesterday to facilitate his movements, and it seems that he still hasn't turned it off today...

After thinking about it, he decided that there weren't many people in the office anyway, so after sending Takagi Wataru back to his seat, Matsuda Jinpei logged into [Renju] through Noah to check the latest notifications.

Looking at the big notification title, a bunch of question marks popped up above his head:
"The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence... the 24-character core values... what the hell is this?"

Where is the criminal organization?

What are you saying? You are more righteous than us police officers!
…………

White Horse Mansion.

The luxurious villa was shrouded in darkness, with only a few lights coming from the second floor.

Everything seemed quiet and... eerie.

Especially the crow resting on the eaves, its moving head looks very smart, which also makes the weird feeling even more strange.

There were only two people in the villa.

They were once friends and are now rivals.

...But for now, they have temporarily called a truce:

"It looks like the matter has come to an end."

Kuroba Toichi sat in front of the White Horse Superintendent, sipping his tea calmly with a smile on his face.

The latter's fat round face was filled with some inexplicable emotions, which eventually turned into a breath that blew up his beard. "Yeah, it's over...but I still can't stand your sanctimonious look."

"People's hearts have changed..." Hei Yu Daoyi sighed, revealing a hurt expression, "You once said that you admire people like me the most."

"You must have misheard that." The White Horse Superintendent denied it flatly, and drank a small glass of wine at the same time. "When you were willing to help me, I was very happy... Who would have thought that you would turn against me not long after, and even threatened to get Pandora before me."

"You misheard this." Hei Yu Dao shook his head and denied it. "I clearly said that I would smash the so-called Pandora to pieces in front of you."

The White Horse Superintendent snorted coldly, "Does it make a difference? Isn't it because you got Pandora before me that you were able to smash it to pieces?"

Hei Yu Daoyi sipped his tea calmly, "If you want to think so, I can't help it, but after all, Pandora has been proven not to exist."

"You say it doesn't exist, so it doesn't exist? You are so shameless."

"Thank you so much. No matter how proud I am, I can't compare to you, Director."

After exchanging a few words, the two suddenly fell silent.

Once upon a time, when they were young, they often quarreled with each other like this...

But, everything can't go back.

Even if there is a 'truce' now, but...

Everything that happened over the past few decades has made it impossible for them to continue to be friends, not to mention that one of them was almost killed by the other.

What's more, some things have already been exposed. ——Buzz~
The sound of the engine stands out particularly in the quiet environment.

"They are coming." Superintendent Baima glanced out the window. "To avoid being arrested, I suggest you leave immediately."

After drinking the last cup of tea, Hei Yu Daoyi stood up obediently, "Although it is not the duty of the public security to arrest strange thieves...but since you, the chief director, have said so, I'd better obey your orders."

He straightened his clothes, put on his top hat and mask, and walked towards the only open window on the side of the building.

But at this moment, the White Horse Superintendent suddenly said: "If I were to choose again, I would still do the same thing."

The Black Feathered Thief paused for a moment.

He turned around slowly and said calmly and slowly: "Everyone has things that they cannot control. I can understand...but that's all."

"Goodbye, old friend."

The black figure jumped out of the window, blending perfectly into the night.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of the door being violently opened.

A sound of footsteps approached quickly from below and finally stopped at the door where the White Horse Police Superintendent was.

"Public security, please cooperate with the investigation."

A blond, dark-skinned man walked in first and stared at him.

The White Horse Superintendent recognized him, "Are you... Zero?"

He still had some impression of the leader of the 'Zero' group of the public security direct group.

Or rather, I have a stronger impression of this skin color.

Then, he suddenly understood and laughed, "Really? I see. It seems like you are the other person hiding in the organization."

Furiya Ling's face changed, and his expression was a little strange: "I thought you would know."

The White Horse Superintendent laughed and said, "If I knew, would you still be here now? You seem to think too much of my authority. Even I am just a small figure in the organization who can be summoned and dismissed at will."

Fūya Rei didn't say anything, he just went up and handcuffed him silently.

"I hope you can tell everything truthfully." Furiya Rei stared into the other person's eyes.

"Of course." Superintendent Baima smiled kindly, "It's really unexpected that you have such a powerful helper... I know there's no point in hiding it any longer.

But my son knows nothing, he is just kept in the dark by me.”

Fūya Lingbei expressed his position: "If your son is innocent, we will not wrongly accuse any good person."

The White Horse Police Chief nodded calmly: "That's good."

He has erased all traces of his son's contact with the "organization", and even if a god came, he would not be able to find any unfavorable evidence.

But one thing is certain:

The weather in Japan is about to change.

…………

Rice flower town.

The villa is very beautiful.

Under the warm light, the atmosphere was as hard as ice.

Jing, who cooked two meals for a group of people, looked indifferent and sat on the sofa petting the dog.

John already knew that he couldn't afford to offend this man, so he just lay obediently on the sofa and let him take advantage of him, snoring comfortably from time to time.

Lie, on the other hand, was lying on the other side in a very ungraceful manner, rolling around on the sofa like a white cotton candy - looking at his appearance, it seemed that he regretted that he was not a dog...

Hiroki, Huiyuan Ai, and Kurosawa Mirai, the three younger ones, have formed a group and started to study on their own - the life of joining the Five Star Group has made them too fulfilled:

Either reading or doing homework;

It’s not actual combat, it’s just practicing basic skills;
They are just a group of elementary school students...why does life treat them like this?

Huibara Ai's little face was full of indignation.

The remaining Conan, Kir and Akai Shuichi, the three actually wanted to leave - but Jing's aura was too strong, and he didn't tell them that they could leave. In addition, Gin had said before that they would stay here for a while, so except for going to the toilet, they remained sitting in their original positions... looking very pitiful, weak and helpless.

——At least that’s how they looked when Gin came back.

Mainly, of course, Keel and Conan.

It seems that Akai Shuichi has been struggling with whether to smoke or not, and he has not yet decided whether to quit smoking...

This was different from the time at noon when Gin followed others in and was ignored.

Now, when Gin came back, he was greeted with everyone's attention.

Each person (plus a dog) reacts differently to seeing Gin:

Lie let out a loud "Ah" and pounced over like a dog, then Gin grabbed fate by the throat... by the collar.

The three kids continued to study hard, but the angry look on Huihara Ai's face disappeared without a trace;

Conan and Gil looked at Gin pitifully, hoping that he would speak up and let them escape from this place...

Shuichi Akai was just about to smoke a cigarette, but unexpectedly Gin came back at this critical moment, so he had to put the cigarette away with regret.

Jing continued to stroke John, and glanced at him coldly, "Is it solved?"

"It's solved, otherwise why would I come back?"

Gin was used to his attitude. He ignored the looks of others and Rei's expectant eyes. He put Rei back on the sofa and walked straight to the empty seat next to Jing and sat down.

He was running around everywhere today...

From the smell, Gin knew that the group had finished their meal...

Tsk, what a pity that I missed the dinner made by my friend.

After feeling sorry for a while, Gin set his eyes on John, who was being jerked off by Jing on his lap.

At first glance, he thought the dog looked familiar—Hey! Isn’t this a German Shepherd?
Gin said casually:

"When did you buy this black back? I've never heard Lie talk about it before."

The technique of petting a dog in the mirror was paused.

next second.

John, who was being stroked comfortably, suddenly felt a chill running through his neck and all over his body. His whole body shuddered, but he didn't dare to get angry at all. He just lowered his head tremblingly, hoping that the hand on his neck would spare his life...

What kind of monsters are its owners?

It's just an innocent dog and it's scared.

Jing kept touching the dog's hand, with a blank expression on his face:

Did that bastard Ren forget that he wanted to name him Blackback?
