Conan: I've been linked to the tech tree system.

Although the person in front of him is a graduate of the Department of Law at the University of Tokyo, who is often jokingly referred to as the "Gold Watch Group," he is also the youngest police inspector and superintendent in the National Police Agency in the past decade, and is very likely to rise rapidly in the future to become a high-ranking leader in the National Police Agency.

But he's still too young, and it's too early to tell him some things.

Shinji nodded and did not ask any further questions.

Moroboshi Toshio admired this trait of his: meticulousness and focus in his work, and never meddling in things he shouldn't.

"The section chief asked me to give this to you."

Moroboshi Toshio took the documents from his hand, flipped through them casually, and sighed inwardly.

There's just so much work to do, no matter how hard I try.

......

"bang"

The heavy metal door was slammed shut, mercilessly severing the last ray of light.

It seemed to be drizzling outside the window; the sound of raindrops hitting the ground was annoying.

Plates filled with various foods were placed on the ground beside my legs. The variety was as abundant as ever, including sushi, broccoli, and grilled beef tongue... The food was nutritionally balanced, with a reasonable mix of meat and vegetables.

The Black Organization at least doesn't skimp on their employees' food.

Unfortunately, at this point, no matter how exquisite the food is, it can no longer arouse her appetite.

Using her free right hand, Shiho Miyano pushed the obstructing plate aside and let herself slump to the ground.

The company keeps the air conditioning at a constant temperature all year round, so she usually only wears a long white lab coat and tight denim shorts in the laboratory, showing off her fair and slender legs.

Her delicate skin pressed against the cold ground, quickly drawing away her body heat.

Even without touching, I could feel that her forehead was slightly hot and her consciousness was somewhat blurred.

Is the afterlife just as cold?

Shiho Miyano stretched her stiff wrists, which were handcuffed to the iron pipe, and slowly leaned against the wall.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

He reached his right hand into the only warm thing in his arms, where he found a pill he had secretly brought from the laboratory.

APTX-4869.

The subsequent imitations of "Silver Bullet" were a result of his own incompetence in twisting his parents' wishes and unintentionally creating a deadly poison.

The red and white capsules look exactly like ordinary cold medicine.

But how many people have died after eating it?

'Shouldn't I have gone to hell long ago?'

Miyano Shiho thought negatively as she picked up the pill and slowly put it in her mouth...

Sister... I'm coming to find you right away.

......

A white light suddenly shone on my eyelids.

When you stay in the dark for a long time, your pupils, which have been dilated to their limit, contract slightly, and your eyelids droop uncontrollably, blocking out that glimmer of light.

A cold wind blew in from outside the silently cracking wall, carrying tiny raindrops that dampened the hem of her white coat that trailed on the ground.

"Shall we keep this sample for research purposes?"

A familiar voice rang in my ears, followed by a hand that looked like it could play the piano, reaching out and snatching the APTX-4869 from my hand, which I hadn't immediately swallowed because of my hesitation.

Raise your head and try to open your eyes wide.

The person in front of me was wearing a gray printed hoodie and stood there casually.

Rainwater dampened his slightly soft, medium-length black hair, causing strands of his bangs to stick together and obscure his forehead.

A lazy smile lingered at the corners of his mouth, exactly the same as when we first met.

He's pretty handsome, almost like an underground K-pop idol who's been singing and dancing all night.

Amused by her own sudden leap of thought, Shiho Miyano slowly stood up.

"So, is this some kind of dying fantasy you're having?"

It is said that before people die, they will review their lives like a revolving lantern, or see illusions that do not belong to this world.

If that's really the case, then it's quite interesting.

Unfortunately, there is currently no reliable scientific research to confirm this.

And those who have died cannot describe in detail how they felt at that moment.

Perhaps the person before us is a messenger sent by God to guide the dead?

Shiho Miyano immediately laughed self-deprecatingly. Someone like her, after death, could only be guided by Satan's messengers.

"I didn't realize you were such a cheerful person."

Tohru Tohru tilted her head. "Isn't this Shiho Miyano's art style a bit off?"

Why are you just standing there grinning like an idiot?

Forget it, this way I won't waste my breath explaining—as long as it doesn't bother me.

Tohru Tono took out a small amount of TNT and stuck it next to the human-shaped outline he had cut out on the wall.

Before leaving, he needed to use a bomb to destroy the traces left by the intrusion... mainly to prevent Gin, who had witnessed his wall-cutting skills, from thinking about him.

Tohru Tono casually set a one-minute countdown to the explosion and invited Shiho Miyano, who hadn't done anything for a while, to leave.

"Hey, are you leaving or not?"

Shiho Miyano was stunned. Although she had a low fever and her consciousness was a little hazy, the cold wind blowing in and the real touch of the fine raindrops falling on her skin gradually brought her back to her senses.

Was it not a delusion before death?

Shiho Miyano was clearly aware of this.

But why are the friends my sister brought that day here...?

“Let’s go,” Shiho Miyano said firmly.

Since there was still hope of escaping the organization, she would not give up.

A cowardly death is worthless; only by living tenaciously can Miyano Akemi, who fought to the last moment for their future, be gratified.

Chapter 79 A Gale Gathers Dark Clouds

"boom"

"boom"

The sound of the explosion echoed through the silent streets. The moment the alarm sounded, Toru Tono had already driven away with Shiho Miyano.

......

The pharmaceutical company is not far from the villa area of ​​Beika Town. In the original work, even after she shrunk, Ai Haibara, a little girl, could walk to Shinichi Kudo's house.

Sitting in the car, Shiho Miyano didn't say a word the whole time, seemingly not curious at all about Toru Tono's purpose.

Park the car in the garage and turn off the engine.

Toru Tono opened the car door, turned around and saw Shiho Miyano's cold expression. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let me make it clear beforehand, your sister is not dead."

"!!"

Shiho Miyano's cold expression vanished, her eyes widened, and her lips trembled slightly: "Really?"

His words were brimming with barely concealed excitement, and his eyes revealed a glimmer of hope.

“I wouldn’t lie.” Toru Tono got out of the car and gestured for them to go inside. “Shall we go inside and talk?”

......

"Welcome back...?"

Maya Tachibana sat on the sofa watching a boring soap opera, hugging her black cat and smiling foolishly. She didn't look like an assassin at all; she looked more like Kogoro Mouri watching a drama starring Yoko Okino.

Hearing the door open, she guessed that it was Tohru Tono returning and turned around to greet him familiarly.

—It was Tohru Tono who opened the door, but there was another figure behind him.

She has light brown hair and wears light, cool clothes; she looks great.

Why is he wearing a white lab coat? Is it cosplay?

Is he at the age where he should be bringing girls home for the night?

Maya Tachibana tilted her head, looking at Tohru Tono with a puzzled expression.

As soon as Tohru Tono entered the room, he saw her confused look and sighed.

Introducing my identity is such a hassle.

So he pointed directly to Shiho Miyano behind him and said to Maya Tachibana, "Sherry."

The familiar names and codes of the liquors immediately made Tachibana Maya realize what was going on. Her pupils contracted slightly, and she turned her gaze back to the television before falling silent.

"Come with me." Tohno Toru took out a pair of slippers that Tachibana Maya had bought but hadn't worn yet from the shoe cabinet and tossed them to Miyano Shiho, who was standing at the door looking around the room.

Shiho Miyano silently changed into slippers and followed closely behind him.

Only her increasingly hurried steps revealed her inner excitement.

My sister is not dead.

Those four simple words made her ignore Toru Tono's strange behavior and willingly walk unarmed into a stranger's home.

—For her, this news had such great magic.

Tohno Toru led her upstairs to an empty room.

Although no one lives there, he hires a cleaner to clean the entire villa every week, so the rooms are relatively tidy and clean, without being covered in dust.

A laptop with its screen lit up sat on the table; it had been prepared beforehand.

"Look at that chat box? Just send a video invitation."
