Furuya Rei: The sun falls into the arms of the moon

On the train, "Yeah."

"Humph."

Maori Kogoro took a card from Conan's hand, "Yes. I am this card."

"Uh, huh?"

"Oh? Good, I win again this time."

"Why is Uncle always so good at beating turtles?"

"You're too weak, you little brat."

Toru Amuro drew a card from there, "As expected of Mr. Maori, you have a pair of detective eyes and can see through the other person's heart."

Maori Kogoro smiled, "I am very good at this. I never draw the turtle. I can successfully avoid it and draw other safe ones."

No wonder I’ve never won the horse racing lottery.

Amuro Toru smiled and said, "It would be better if we could directly tell which card has the problem."

Amuro Toru raised his cards and said, "Lingzi, do you want to draw?"

Lingzi blinked and nodded, "But I do wish I could have eyes like Mr. Maori's that can do the method of elimination."

Amuro Toru smiled and said, "Why?"

"In this way, wouldn't it be possible to know who betrayed me?"

"For example, some unscrupulous wholesaler sold me stale flowers at a high price."

"As expected of a florist."

"Am I right?"

Amuro Toru looked at her and smiled, "Well said."

Lingzi shook her head, and Amuro Toru leaned over and whispered, "I will never betray you."

Lingzi smiled and looked up, "Hmm."

Kogoro Mouri blinked his eyes. What did this boy say that made Miss Lingzi so happy?

Conan pursed his lips and said, "Why are the four of us traveling together?"

I remember before I set out.

"What? Something suddenly happened and you can't go to Nagano?"

"Hey, hey, hey, I just finished dealing with all the urgent requests on hand, and I'm about to drag my suitcase to Shinjuku Station."

Xiaolan looked at them, "I'm sorry, Sonoko was supposed to come with us, but she suddenly had a fever. Even though it's just a cold, I felt I had to go visit her."

"I couldn't bear to leave my sick garden behind and go traveling with you guys."

"Besides, Dad, you received a commission to go to Nagano, right?"

"Ah."

"Although I can't go, I have found a more suitable person to go with you."

"suitable?"

"Yes, and you both know this person."

"That's Toru Amuro, the waiter at my Café Poirot and the chief disciple of Mr. Mori."

"Why is it you?"

Conan looked at him and asked, "Are you, a public security officer, very idle?"

Suddenly I was stunned. So Miss Lingzi is going too!

"The owner of our cafe went to a hot spring with some friends, so our store will be closed this afternoon and all day tomorrow. I can join you on your two-day and one-night detective journey."

"Then Miss Lingzi will go with us, right?"

"Yes. She'll come with me."

Maori Kogoro blinked his eyes, "That's my pleasure. It just so happens that the client wants the four of us to go together. Where's Miss Lingzi?"

Amuro Toru tilted his head, "She is eating downstairs now. She said that today's breakfast was not tasty and she didn't eat much. She wants to make something for herself."

"That's it."

Then that's what happened.

“This sushi is delicious.”

"Well, it's really good."

Lingzi smiled and said, "It seems that it was a wise move to bring the extra sushi I made before in a box."

Lingzi was speechless. It wasn't because she was worried that he would be hungry or cold. Do you think I would spend half a day downstairs making so many things?

Amuro Toru finished his sushi and said, "Mr. Maori, it's time for you to tell us the specific contents of the commission."

"Well, it turns out I haven't told you yet."

"I received a letter a month ago. There was also this strange piece of paper in the envelope."

A piece of paper with nine squares.

Amuro Toru looked at the paper in front of him, "What, what is this?"

Lingzi frowned, "It feels like some secret code."

"The sender's name is Hihara Yasuo. According to his description, an old friend of his hanged himself in a deserted church. The church is deep in the mountains of Nagano. But he didn't understand why his friend committed suicide."

"And there was a piece of paper at the feet of the deceased. He said that if he could decipher the code on it, he might be able to find out why his friend committed suicide."

"So he found me, the sleeping Kogoro, to help decipher the mysterious code on the paper."

Amuro Toru adjusted his state, "However, speaking of the code on this piece of paper..."

"From what I've seen, it might actually be a murder case. There is such a possibility, right?"

Maori Kogoro also looked very serious, "Well, the client himself also thinks it might be a murder case. It is said that the scene has not been moved much and it is still the same as it was then."

Conan looked up at Maori, "But uncle, it seems that you and the client haven't met yet, right?"

"Yeah. We just contacted each other a few times through letters and emails, and I received the ticket and the commission fee."

Maori took the code paper back from Amuro Toru's hand and said, "Anyway, we will meet him in that shabby church by then."

Amuro Toru smiled, "He will definitely give you a warm welcome."

Lingzi found it funny and looked at Amuro Toru, "After all, the sleeping Kogoro made this trip just for him."

Of course, he also brought a high school detective and two public security police officers with him.

"That's right."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Toru Amuro looked at Lingzi helplessly. This was how his teacher was.

Lingzi naturally knew about his character.

When they arrived at the station, Toru Amuro frowned and took out a coat from his bag. "Lingzi, put on this coat. It's very cold here."

Lingzi nodded, "Yeah, it looks like it's going to snow."

“It’s really cold here.”

Lingzi blinked and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Of course, Amuro Toru followed him, "Wait a moment."

Lingzi blinked and said, "Bring food and fresh water."

Amuro Toru looked at Lingzi who was sitting there and re-tying her hair, "Hmm?"

"The place we're going to is deep in the mountains, with inconvenient transportation and few people."

Amuro Toru nodded, "I think this time, I have a feeling it's not good."

Lingzi exhaled, "It's okay, we just need to do what we can and take these with us."

Amuro Toru nodded, "So Lingzi, this was all planned."

"No wonder you took my place as soon as we got to Polo and made a lot of food."

Lingzi put her hair up and said, "I can't let you starve."

"There are your cotton coat and sweater in the suitcase, add one too."

Amuro Toru nodded, "It's really cold here."

Noah's Ark popped up, "Xiao Yue!"

"Ok?"

"Xiaoyue, your destination will begin to snow heavily shortly after you arrive."

"Snowstorm warning."

Amuro Toru frowned, "Sure enough, it's not a simple matter."

Lingzi thought for a moment and said, "We are in Nagano Prefecture. Let's send a letter to Brother Gao Ming and tell him about our arrival. Don't pay too much attention to anything."

"It'll be okay."

Noah's Ark flashed, "Xiaoyue, Ling, please be safe, I will ensure smooth logistics."

Lingzi waved his hand, "No problem."

Amuro Toru shrugged, "Yeah."

Anyway, with their strength, no one can do anything here.

A few people packed up and took a taxi to the dilapidated church over there.

Lingzi was almost wrapped tightly by Amuro Toru.

It was only because Lingzi strongly objected and wore a burgundy long trench coat that Toru Amuro didn't want to give Lingzi those sweaters.

Lingzi saw that Amuro Toru was a little absent-minded and patted his shoulder, "What's wrong?"

Lingzi suddenly remembered that she was wearing this windbreaker when she first met in the organization.

Amuro Toru shook his head, "Nothing, I just think it's beautiful."

Toru Amuro recalled that day and was indeed slightly amazed that day.

This is the first time I see her dressed so aggressively.

Lingzi smiled and said, "It's been so many years, you still remember it."

Amuro Toru nodded solemnly, "I remember everything about you."

Lingzi nodded, "Okay, let's go."

"it is good."

······

Now the four of them were standing in the wind and snow, looking at the uninhabited place in front of them.

So desolate.

Kogoro Maori was silent.

Amuro Toru hugged Lingzi to shield her from the wind, "Why didn't anyone come to greet us?"

Lingzi nestled in front of Amuro Toru, "Is this place a bit cold?"

Maori Kogoro was not sure about the current situation, "Has he not arrived yet?"

Several people walked towards the church in front, and Amuro Toru tried to open the door. "Strange, this door is not locked."

Lingzi blinked, "It is an abandoned church after all."

Mao Li dragged his suitcase forward, "Okay, let's go in and wait."

Amuro Toru looked at the church window and said, "It looks like this place has been abandoned for a long time."

Maori Kogoro kicked an iron bucket and stood there, "Huh?"

"I do feel like this place is haunted."

Lingzi gritted her teeth and said, "Please don't say that, okay? I'm most afraid of ghosts."

Amuro Toru held Lingzi's hand and comforted her, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Conan just sighed silently, fortunately Xiaolan didn't come with them.

Toru Amuro walked forward with Lingzi and saw a room. Maori Kogoro walked in and looked at the cross in front of him, "Oh, this is a chapel."

Toru Amuro looked at the place and said, "It feels so spacious inside."

There are people inside.

Fujiide Yorito stood up and looked at Maori and his group, "Hey, are you guys here to attend Ari's farewell ceremony as well?"

Maori Kogoro stared at him. "Damn it,"

Amuro Toru also felt strange, "Farewell ceremony?"

Lingzi tilted her head, "What on earth is going on?"

"Hey, hey? How come you don't know?"

Someone is coming from behind.

Wada Kohei looked at them and said, "Two months ago, Ari committed suicide in this church. Otherwise, why would you guys brave such a heavy snowstorm and run to this dilapidated church in the deserted mountains?"

Koura Ikue stood behind him. "Oh, I heard this area is famous for its Feng Shui. But, that was when we were in high school, right?"

Kawasaki Yosuke adjusted his glasses and said, "Stop talking nonsense and get down to business. I finally took the time to come here."
