Conan World: Break Free from Fate and Run to You

Bai Zhi was confused, and Amuro Toru was also confused. Soon the police surrounded the two people.

There are so many people.

Bai Zhi suddenly became nervous. A group of policemen formed a high wall around her, making her feel like a dark cage. The people around her seemed to have turned into hideous minions, grinning at her grimly.

No, calm down, it’s an illusion, it’s all an illusion!

Bai Zhi subconsciously grabbed the crystal ball that was hanging in the middle of her neck and shrunk to the size of half a fist, feeling the energy that was about to be filled in the crystal ball. Only then did she feel her breathing become a little smoother.

She can't mess around here, just wait a while, she can leave after Conan solves the case, it's okay, just be patient for a while, just be patient for a while, she's come through all these years, it's okay!

Toru Amuro grabbed Baizhi and immediately felt that something was wrong with Baizhi. Her breathing was rapid and her face was pale, and it seemed that she was about to faint in the next second.

"Are you okay? It's okay. It will be fine in a while." Amuro Toru immediately put his arm around Bai Zhi's shoulders as a protector and waved at the leading police officer: "Don't get me wrong. This is my friend. She can't possibly commit a crime. Can you please separate them? She's quite afraid of people."

Toru Amuro looked at Baizhi with worry in his eyes, and suddenly he noticed that Baizhi was holding something tightly in her hand.

The previous few times they met, Bai Zhi wrapped herself tightly in a cloak, so Amuro Toru only vaguely knew that Bai Zhi was wearing a necklace, but had not looked at it carefully. Now that the distance was so close, Amuro Toru finally saw the full appearance of the necklace.

This necklace is made of an extremely thin silver silk thread, which is very similar to Baizhi's hair. Densely packed with colorful small gems are scattered around like a waistcoat. Some of the grooves for inlaying gems are empty, which should have been given to other people just like Baizhi gave gems to herself before.

And now, there is a crystal ball in the middle of the necklace that is half the size of a fist. If you look closely, you can seem to see liquid swaying in it.

Could this be the crystal ball that Bai Zhi always kept in her hand? By the way, when he first saw Bai Zhi, Amuro Toru felt that something was missing. Now it seems that this crystal ball has shrunk and is worn around Bai Zhi's neck?

"Is that so? But now she is a suspect and may have to assist in the investigation." Officer Sato and Toru Amuro looked familiar to each other, so when they saw this situation, they waved their hands and asked the crowd to disperse.

"It's okay, just ask a few questions." Amuro Toru persuaded Bai Zhi in a low voice.

"Ahem... I understand."

Bai Zhi didn't say anything else, just lowered her eyes and followed silently.

It is not a wise thing to run away now. Since I have been involved, I should just wait quietly for this matter to be over.

Bai Zhi was silent along the way until her cell phone rang. Bai Zhi took a look at it and her expression relaxed a little.

[Vermouth: The ID card has been processed. Here is the photo for you to remember. There is also a bank card. You can directly withdraw money from it to buy anything. It is enough to buy real estate. Just tell me when you need it.]

[Vermouth: Also, that gentleman asked you to tell him if you are adapting well and if you need him to help you arrange a place to live.]

【Bai Zhi: Got it.】

This way, when the police ask her who she is, she will have something to say.

However, it was probably impossible to get rid of suspicion. Bai Zhi knew that she was probably the most suspicious now. After all, she had no alibi, no proof of companions, and even no ticket.

After thinking about it, Baizhi first sent a text message to Wuwan Renye.

[Bai Zhi: Don't worry about me. I will tell Vermouth if I need anything.]

I clicked send, and just as I pressed the first # key, a beeping sound startled Baizhi.

Why is the volume so loud? I guess wineries don’t have the habit of turning off the key sounds.

Bai Zhi immediately went to the settings and turned the sound to mute. She raised her eyes and glanced at the little boy next to her. Sure enough, she saw Conan secretly observing her out of the corner of her eye.

It still attracted attention.

Forget it, I'll just live farther away from now on. This guy can't always stay by her side and monitor her.

There was a lounge next to the restaurant, which had just been vacated by the police and turned into a temporary interrogation room. Bai Zhi had been sitting there for less than half an hour when, as expected, the police inside almost went crazy.

Police: “Your age and name.”

Bai Zhi: "Bai Zhi, eighteen years old."

Police: “Where are your family members?”

Bai Zhi: "Dead."

Police: "Huh? Parents or relatives, any one of them counts."

Bai Zhi: “They are all dead.”

police:"……"

Is this true? Is this something made up?

"Then do you have an alibi?" the interrogating police officer asked patiently.

Bai Zhi: “No.”

The policeman was choked and continued to ask: "Has anyone seen you go anywhere recently?"

Bai Zhi: “No.”

Police: "...Can you show us your ticket so we can check your entry time?"

Bai Zhi: “No.”

The policeman deeply suspected that the girl in front of him was challenging the authority of the police.

What kind of person would be indifferent when being questioned by the police, and then ask if they have nothing? If it's not nothing or I don't know, what else would you say?

Conan was also observing Baizhi from the side. The appearance of Baizhi was really strange. He never knew that Amuro Toru had such a friend, and the timing of her appearance was also strange.

But Toru Amuro refused to say anything. Even now during the interrogation, he stood silently by the side, just staring at Bai Zhi.

"This is an interrogation. It is very important for you to clear your suspicion. Please take it seriously and answer seriously!" Officer Sato's temples were throbbing. She was already very angry about the sudden overtime work, but Bai Zhi still looked indifferent: "Do you know what's happening now?"

"It's a murder case." Bai Zhi looked at the angry Officer Sato and felt a little dazed.

Officer Sato was angry, but she couldn't feel it. It was hazy as if there was a layer of fog between them. Had her emotions been worn away by time?

Officer Sato was choked by Baizhi and was speechless.

Bai Zhi's voice was pleasant to hear, but light and cold as snowflakes floating in the air. There was no emotion at all when she talked about the murder case. Her indifferent attitude towards life made Officer Sato not know how to continue communicating.

The interrogation room fell into an awkward silence.

"Ahem... Alas." Bai Zhi couldn't help but sigh: "Instead of focusing your attention on me, it would be more practical to find the murderer."

"You are a suspect now." Officer Sato frowned.

"If I remember correctly, the murderer roughly pressed the deceased on the table, and while he was struggling in death, he cut his carotid artery with a knife, right?" Bai Zhi stood up. She was tired and didn't want to waste time.

"Are you saying that someone like me would commit murder?"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Bai Zhi stood up, calmly let the upper half of her cloak fall to her arms, and with her right hand gathered her long hair to her chest so that everyone could see clearly.

It’s not much, but it’s enough for everyone to see Baizhi’s physical condition.

The skin on her thin shoulders was white, like a fragile piece of jade. She was so thin that her shoulder blades were clearly visible, and even her arms, which were exposed when she was holding her hair, were incredibly thin.

"You don't think I have the strength to do that."
