Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World

As Kuroda Heibei continued to speak, a system screen appeared in front of Kudo Yuki, showing the details of the Haneda Hiroshi case 17 years ago.

At that time, Kuroda Bei's right eye was intact, he had black hair, and he was clinking glasses and chatting with his American friends in the hotel.

The American friend was surprised and patted Kuroda on the shoulder: "It's strange that you took a special vacation to watch the chess tournament."

Kuroda Heibei shrugged helplessly: "My boss urged me to take annual leave, so I just came here to join in the fun."

Not far away, Hiroshi Haneda stood up and politely said goodbye to the people around him: "Thank you everyone, I had a great time drinking today! I have an appointment later, so I'll take my leave now."

The American friend turned around and saw Haneda Hiroshi, and whispered to Kuroda Heibei: "Oh, I remember that person is..."

Kuroda Bei also turned his head, "Is Haneda Kiyoshi a celebrity?"

"Yeah. He entered a chess tournament last year out of interest and finished in the top 4. That's great, he must be very popular."

"Have you had too much to drink?"

The American friend tugged at his arm tremblingly, hiccuping as he spoke: "I'm fine, hiccup."

"Really? I want to go early tomorrow to get a good seat."

As soon as they finished speaking, they saw Amanda and Asaka coming over, with Asaka holding a box containing chess sets.

Kuroda Heibei and Asaka looked at each other when they passed each other, and then quickly looked away.

The American friend burped and said, “Hey, was that Amanda Hughes?”

"is it?"

"Don't you know her? I heard she's going to run for the next president."

"Sorry, I'm not interested in that."

The scene changed and switched to Wakasa Rumi's perspective.

Asaka was still looking back at Kurodabei's back and asked Amanda, "Who is that tall man?"

"I do not know."

"Should we ask the other bodyguards to keep an eye on him?"

"No need! Haosi is still waiting for us, let's go to his room first!"

After the two arrived at Hiroshi Haneda's room, Amanda and Hiroshi Haneda sat opposite each other and started playing chess.

"Oh, this chess shape?"

"It's the Queen's Gambit."

"He deliberately let his pawn be captured so that the queen can move more easily and thus create a situation that is favorable to him. In this case, I will give it a try!"

"Your Japanese has improved a lot! I remember it was still very awkward when we last met."

"I've always wanted to play chess with you in Japanese, so I've been learning it for a long time. If we play shogi, I'm definitely no match for you."

Amanda looked at Asaka and said with a smile, "And I asked her mother, who is from Japan, to give me special training."

Haneda Hiroshi looked at Asaka curiously, "She is your bodyguard, right?"

Amanda's expression darkened. "Yes, her father was my bodyguard. Unfortunately, he was shot and killed while protecting me. Her mother also passed away due to illness. When she was still young, she gave up witness protection after seeing the prisoner. She begged me to let her become my bodyguard, and I agreed. All these years have passed, and she has been following me."

Upon hearing this, Haneda Hiroshi's face showed a hint of shyness: "Really? As for me, she is the type of girl I like."

After Asaka heard this, she glanced at Haneda Koji.

Hiroshi Haneda looked at her with a smile.

Asaka quickly looked away again, as if she had noticed something. "Speaking of outside the window."

Amanda raised the teacup with one hand, "Is there anything unusual?"

Asaka rubbed her right eye, looking worried, "My right eyelid has been twitching since this morning. I feel like something is going to happen."

Upon hearing this, Haneda Hiroshi's expression froze. "Could it be a one-time blackout? The blood vessels in the eyes are blocked, and when you are angry or stressed, it will cause temporary vision loss in one eye. Have you been too tired recently?"

Amanda nodded slightly, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: "She did have similar symptoms before, and she has been a little overworked recently."

Asaka remained silent, but felt vaguely uneasy in her heart. She subconsciously looked out the window, trying to capture the source of the inexplicable uneasiness, but there was only darkness outside the window.

Hiroshi Haneda fiddled with the chess pieces on the board and chatted leisurely: "One of my chess player friends has the same disease. However, I still don't know what the source of her stress is."

Amanda changed the subject: "By the way, what about the bookshelf over there?"

"Because I'm staying here for several days, I asked the hotel staff to set it up for me. If I don't have those old chess records at hand, I won't be able to calm down. I'm the type who can't concentrate without paper materials."

"You're here to participate in an international chess tournament, but your mind is still on shogi."

At this time, the image on the system screen disappears.

Kudo Yuki was still immersed in the clues she had just seen and heard, and the shadow of the winery organization lingered in her mind.

The winery organization is like a web weaver hiding in the dark, creating countless shady conspiracies. She knows the secrets behind the Haneda Hiroshi case and must be inextricably entangled with this organization.

At the same time, in the cafe of the West TOPIA building, the other members of the Junior Detective League, Professor Agasa, and Kobayashi Sumiko all focused their attention on Wakasa Rumi.

The three little ones and Huihara Ai were filled with anxiety, and they kept shouting, "Teacher, Wakasa-sensei!"

This call finally brought back Wakasa Rumi's wandering thoughts.

Dr. Agasa asked with concern: "Are you okay? You've been pressing your right eye."

Wakasa Rumi had a faint smile on her face: "It's okay, I just didn't get enough sleep."

Kobayashi Sumiko and Wakasa Rumi chatted casually.

"Although we have decided to wait for Conan in this coffee shop in the building, if you are not feeling well, please go back first."

Wakasa Rumi slowly stood up from her seat and murmured softly, "Then I'll obey your command. See you at school."

She walked over to where the umbrellas were placed, reached out and picked up an umbrella, and opened it with a little force. There was a crisp "crack" sound, and the umbrella broke.

"Ah." Wakasa Rumi pretended to be at a loss.

Kobayashi Sumiko couldn't help but exclaimed: "That, that's my umbrella."

Wakasa Rumi held the broken umbrella in both hands, looking flustered: "S-Sorry."

Kobayashi Sumiko still kept smiling: "It's okay, it's okay."

The three little ones sat beside Dr. Agasa and started joking with each other.

"Wakasa-sensei is still clumsy as expected."

"That's right."

"Be careful."

Wakasa Rumi held up the umbrella she brought with her and suggested, "Please use my umbrella. I'll take a taxi back from the building exit."

At this time, Wakasa Rumi was about to leave the cafe. She picked up her umbrella and said goodbye to everyone in a relaxed manner. But outside this seemingly ordinary scene, danger was quietly approaching.

In the building opposite, the member who had just joined the organization and had no name yet was full of impatience. The rain slid down the window, adding to his annoyance: "Really! It's raining, and the wing is blocking the view. It's simply the worst sniping environment."

Cohen adjusted the sniper rifle and responded calmly: "No problem."

The new member without a wine name muttered to himself again: "Of course, I will not be affected."

Cohen raised his sniper rifle and aimed at the window opposite where Wakasa Rumi was standing. "If you want to complain, go complain to Rum. The woman we are going to attack..."

At this moment, Rum's mechanical voice came from their communication device: "She is the bodyguard we failed to get rid of 17 years ago."

Cohen thought to himself: [Rum actually talked to us directly.]

Rum continued to warn: "It is very likely that woman. Don't let her escape."

In the car, Rum stared at the message on his phone, and his heart was filled with emotion. He sighed: "It's full of memories! I remember that day, too. I hacked into the hotel system and saw the pictures inside the hotel."

In the room, the system screen in front of Kudo Yuki began to flash again, indicating that new clues were about to surface.

In the picture, Rum was sitting on a sofa, looking sinister. He covered his right eye tightly, leaving his left eye to stare at all the surveillance images in the hotel on the laptop with the help of a pair of glasses.

Behind him, a group of male and female subordinates dressed in black stood in a row, all with indifferent expressions.

Rum stared at the surveillance screen and gave orders in a low and fierce voice: "The blond man on the right side of the elevator on the third floor was Amanda's bodyguard during the Monaco Grand Prix!

You all should remember this. And the short-haired woman in front of the staircase on the 6th floor was the bodyguard who accompanied Amanda at the luxurious ball in Paris!

The man with dreadlocks on the 7th floor was at the underground parking lot of the Cannes International Film Festival, and the older man was at the golf Masters. The red-haired woman on the roof was at Wimbledon... You heard it all, go ahead."

Following his order, his men immediately took action. They worked in pairs, each pushing an ordinary large suitcase, and walked out of the room to carry out the order.

At the elevator entrance on the third floor, one of his men pretended to cough, staggered into the elevator, and then pretended to faint on the ground. His acting was so realistic that it seemed as if he was really a poor man with a sudden illness.

Seeing this, the blond man that Rum was staring at hurried forward and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay." The subordinate who pretended to faint responded. After the man slowly stood up, he suddenly took out a stun gun from his arms and knocked the blond man unconscious to the ground.

Then, he put the blond man into a large suitcase and zipped it up, all in one smooth move without any delay.

Then, two men pushed a suitcase out of the elevator, and the suitcase's wheels made a sound as they rolled on the ground.

Then the rest of his men followed suit, knocking out Amanda's bodyguards on other floors one by one and taking them away.

For a moment, an invisible haze seemed to permeate the hotel, and the originally peaceful atmosphere was completely broken by this series of actions.

A group of men pushed suitcases full of "prey" and returned to the room where Rum was.

The leading subordinate reported respectfully: "There are two left, the Japanese woman next to Amanda and the big man who might be the new hire."

Hearing this, Rum raised his lips slightly, put on his iconic hat, and showed a sinister smile on his face: "If there are only two people left, it should be no problem. Let's go and deal with them!"

Meanwhile, in Amanda's room, Asaka is on her phone, calling the other bodyguards.

After a series of ding-ling rings, there was no movement on the other end of the phone. She couldn't help but frown, with an ominous premonition in her heart: "Strange, no bodyguard answered the phone, maybe something happened."

Amanda seemed to have sensed the unusual atmosphere, and she immediately hid the Knight chess set and found a reason to send Asaka away. "Excuse me, could you help me get the things I left behind from Hiroshi's room?"

She pointed to the missing chess piece in the suitcase with a hint of urgency in her eyes: "Look! That's the Mirror Knight chess piece that should have been here. Without it, the chess game won't be complete."

Asaka raised her head and asked hesitantly, "Now?"

"Yes, that is a very important chess piece."

Then, Amanda looked at her seriously, and murmured in a soft tone: "Qianxiang, I raised you as a daughter. So can you listen to your mother's request?"

"Ah, okay. Of course!" Although Asaka had some doubts in her heart, she nodded and turned and hurried towards Koji's room.

After Qianxiang left, Amanda stood up and walked to the wine cabinet, picked up a bottle of rum, and slowly poured it into a tall glass. She held the glass of rum and sat back in her chair.

Just then, Rum and a group of his men appeared in front of Amanda's open door.

Seeing this, Amanda raised the amber rum in the tall glass, shook it gently, and raised a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth: "Oh, you rude people. So many people came uninvited and made a lot of noise.

But the most rude thing is you hiding in the back. We have met before, right? I remember it was about 50 years ago, at the birthday party of a tycoon from an island country. Although you were a child at that time, I remember that you had a wonderful nickname called "Rum", right? "

The picture flashed, and then only the voice of Kuroda Heibei's narration was heard. When the picture appeared again, the scene switched to the bathroom.

One of his men pretended to wash his hands next to Kuroda Heibei, but his eyes kept glancing at Kuroda Heibei from time to time, revealing a hint of ill intention.

Suddenly, the man deliberately threw a bottle, pretending that it accidentally fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

When Kuroda Heibei saw this, he subconsciously bent down to pick up the bottle, and then politely handed it to the subordinate. Seeing this, the subordinate quickly said, "Thank you."

Kuroda Bei smiled slightly and responded softly: "It's okay, it's okay."

At this seemingly calm moment, something unexpected happened.

To be continued...
