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

Chapter 348: The Secret Order of the Ooka Family Master: The Hidden Concerns Behind Conan's Investigation

Kudo Yuki calmly bent down, pointed her finger in the direction of Amuro Toru and Kazami Yuya, and then moved closer to Conan, lowering her voice slightly so that only Conan, who was so close, could hear it clearly: "Brother, you and Hattori wait for me at the door for a while, I'll be back soon."

Conan blinked his intelligent big eyes, nodded sensibly, then turned and walked towards where Hattori Heiji and the others were.

Butler Iori Muga actually vaguely heard the siblings' low-voice conversation, but because the distance was a little far, he couldn't hear the specific content.

He subconsciously looked in the direction of Kudo Yuki, and as soon as his eyes met, he recognized Kazami Yuya, the classmate who had worked hard with him in the police academy and had the same ideals.

Kazami Yuya also noticed Iori Muga's gaze, and their eyes met. It was only for that brief moment, but it seemed as if thousands of words were conveyed in this silent gaze.

Afterwards, the two greeted each other with their eyes, and everything was said without words.

Butler Iori Muga seemed to remember his current responsibilities and silently followed Ooka Momiji to the side.

Ooka Hongye seemed to notice something strange about Iori Muga's mood: "Iori, what's wrong with you?"

Butler Iori Muga shook his head: "Nothing, Miss, I just saw someone who looked familiar and remembered some things from the past."

As for Kudo Yuki, she walked towards where Amuro Toru was.

At this moment, Amuro Toru happened to turn his head and saw that Kazami Yuya's eyes were looking elsewhere, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Kazami?"

Yuya Kazami retracted his gaze and answered softly with a slightly complicated expression: "I just saw a classmate of mine from the police academy."

Amuro Toru thought quickly about the possible candidates in his mind, and responded casually: "Well, probably the police who came here because of the case that happened here."

"No. That guy is very good and was assigned to the same department as Mr. Amuro, but I heard that he has resigned."

When Amuro Toru heard this, his heart moved slightly, but his face remained calm, but his footsteps subconsciously stopped: "Then you can stay here."

Kudo Yuki has already walked in front of Amuro Toru. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a hint of sarcasm: "It turns out that Butler Iori Muga is Mr. Kazami's classmate. He is now Ooka Momiji's butler. Speaking of which, it seems that there are many stories behind this."

Amuro Toru looked at Kudo Yuki with a faint smile on his face: "Indeed, this world is sometimes so small. I didn't expect to meet him here. But since he chose the current life, he must have his own considerations."

Yuya Kazami was listening to the conversation and couldn't help but add, "Iori, when he was in the police academy, he had excellent grades in all aspects. Everyone thought he would be able to show his talents in the public security department in the future. Who knew that he would resign later? It was really surprising."

Kudo Yuki nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "Maybe I encountered some special situation. Everyone faces various choices in life."

Amuro Toru gave a slight wink, indicating Kudo Yuki to follow him in.

Then, he turned around and looked at Yuya Kazami with his signature smile on his face: "Kazami, you've worked hard today, go back and have a rest."

Feng Jianyu also understood, but his curiosity still made him unable to help but ask: "Well, who are you going to meet? Can you tell me about it?"

Toru Amuro did not answer, but just smiled and naturally and intimately took Kudo Yuki's hand, held it tightly, then strode towards car No. 13, and did not forget to turn back and wave to Kazami Yuya, signaling him not to ask any more questions.

Yuya Kazami stood there helplessly, watching the two people leave, and secretly wondered in his heart: [Who is this meeting with?]

Toru Amuro and Yuki Kudo soon arrived at the door of carriage No. 13. Toru Amuro stopped and tilted his head to whisper, "Xiaoxue, no matter who you see later, don't be surprised, I'm here."

Kudo Yuki nodded slightly, her eyes full of trust.

Amuro Toru gently pushed the door of the carriage, and it slowly opened. However, the carriage was empty. He couldn't help but frown slightly and whispered in surprise: "There's no one in the car!"

Kudo Yuki tilted her head and looked at Amuro Toru with confusion.

Amuro Toru looked down at his watch, his doubts growing: "It's almost time to leave, where is the person?"

As he spoke, he quickened his pace and ran in the aisle, searching carefully as he ran.

Kudo Yukiya quickened his pace and followed behind him.

Suddenly, Amuro Toru's phone rang. He quickly sat down by the window in the back of the car and answered the call: "Hello, hello?"

After a few seconds, an old man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Look out the window."

Toru Amuro quickly leaned out of the window and saw an old man with white hair and beard, leaning on a cane with exquisite patterns, also sitting by the window. It was the former Prime Minister, the head of the Ooka family.

Kudo Yuki also saw Amuro Toru's reaction, and looked out the window not far away. Seeing the extraordinary old man, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, secretly curious in her heart, and planned to listen to what would happen.

The rat, who had been hiding in Kudo Yuki's pocket, quietly poked out his little head and pricked up his ears to listen.

The head of the Ooka family gave an order in a serious tone: "Furiya, investigate Edogawa Conan thoroughly and get to the bottom of it."

Amuro Toru was stunned: "I, I know."

Before he hung up, another cell phone rang. He quickly hung up the previous call and answered the call from Kuroda Beiwei.

"I'm Furuya."

"What's wrong? Why didn't you answer the phone right away? Your voice sounded a little shaky. What happened?"

"It's okay, there was a small accident just now, but it has been resolved." Toru Amuro quickly adjusted his state and tried his best to make his voice sound steady.

"You're really okay? Don't hide it from me."

"It's really okay, you don't have to worry. Just now, the head of the Ooka family called me and asked me to investigate Edogawa Conan."

"Master Ooka? Why would he suddenly ask you to investigate Conan? This is no small matter."

"Conan is indeed an extraordinary kid, and his relationship with Kudo Shinichi is also very subtle. What do you think is the purpose of the head of the Ooka family?"

"I'm not sure yet, but I will find out as soon as possible. Maybe it is related to some recent cases. Conan always provides key clues at critical moments, which attracts a lot of people's attention."

Just as Kuroda Heibei was about to speak, the door of the carriage was opened again, and Iori Muga, the butler, walked in slowly. He first bowed slightly to Amuro Toru and Kudo Yuki respectfully, then smiled and said, "Mr. Furuya, Ms. Kudo, I am here this time to answer your questions."

Amuro Toru looked at Butler Iori Muga, secretly alert in his heart, but still with a smile on his face: "Butler Iori, then please quickly explain to us why the head of the Ooka family suddenly wants to investigate Conan, which makes us very puzzled."

Iori Muga, the butler, bowed slightly, "Mr. Furuya, Ms. Kudo, this is what happened. The head of the family has always had a feud with Suzuki Jirokichi. A few days ago, Suzuki Jirokichi found a reporter and reported widely that Kaito Kid wanted to steal the crown 'Splash of the Siren', which was inlaid with the largest tourmaline.

But the headline read, "Kid's nemesis defended the crown from the hands of Kaito Kidd, and his name is Edogawa Conan!" In that report, Conan and Suzuki Jirokichi appeared in the same frame, which caused quite a stir."

Amuro Toru frowned: "What does this have to do with the head of the Ooka family?"

"As you know, the Ooka family has always had an important position and influence in politics. The head of the family is worried that Conan's relationship with Suzuki Jirokichi will be used by people with ulterior motives, thus threatening the political interests and status of the Ooka family. That's why he wants to take the initiative and ask you to thoroughly investigate Conan."

Kuroda Hei heard Iori Muga's explanation on the other end of the phone and thought for a moment: "Furuya, you have to handle this matter carefully. Although the head of the Ooka family is my good friend, Conan is a child with a special identity. During the investigation, you must pay attention to protecting his safety and avoid causing unnecessary trouble."

"I understand, Officer Kuroda. I won't let anyone hurt Conan, and I will try not to reveal my identity."

Kudo Yuki was listening at the side, secretly worried about Conan, but she also knew that she couldn't act rashly now and could only wait for further investigation results from Amuro Toru.

Amuro Toru then told Butler Iori Muga: "Butler Iori, thank you for your explanation. I will do as the head of the family asks. However, I hope you can help me pay more attention to the movements of the head of the Ooka family and inform me in time if there is any situation."

Butler Iori Muga smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Furuya, I will. After all, I was once a member of the Public Security Bureau. I will do my best to assist you."

Kuroda Bei added on the other end of the phone: "Iori, you are now the steward of the Ooka family. You must put the interests of the Ooka family first, and at the same time, don't put yourself in a dilemma."

Butler Iori Muga replied respectfully: "Manager Kuroda, I will keep your instructions in mind and do my best to balance the relationship between the two sides."

Kudo Yuki's eyes narrowed into half crescents: "Mr. Iori, forgive me for being so presumptuous, but I'm afraid you came here this time to deliberately get rid of Miss Ooka and come here to explain yourself, right? The head of the Ooka family should not know about your actions, right?"

Butler Iori Muga was slightly stunned, then nodded with a smile: "Ms. Kudo is indeed wise. Yes, the head of the family does not know the purpose of my visit this time. However, I am only here to repay you and Conan for helping me on the train."

Kudo Yuki's eyes were deep, and she spoke slowly: "Mr. Iori, please ask the head of the Ooka family two questions for me. First, using this as a reason to investigate Conan is to ask Conan to help investigate the Haneda Hiroshi case. Is this part of the reason?

Second, the head of the Haneda family is not only good friends with the head of the Ooka family, but also with the Akai family. The head of the Haneda family once commissioned the Akai family to investigate the Haneda Hiroshi case. So, is his other purpose to be afraid that the winery organization will use the Suzuki family to threaten his political interests, status and family?"

Butler Iori Muga nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Ms. Kudo, regarding your first question, I am not sure whether the head of the family has considered this. As for the second question, I think the head of the family is mainly worried about the direct threat that Conan may bring about by his connection with Suzuki Jirokichi. As for the use of the winery organization, there is no obvious sign that the head of the family has such concerns. However, I will find an opportunity to convey your question to the head of the family."

Amuro Toru listened from the side and thought to himself: "I feel like there might be something else behind this."

Kudo Yuki smiled meaningfully: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Iori. I look forward to the reply from the head of the Ooka family. Just send the text message to Manager Kuroda. Toru is my boyfriend. It won't be long before you tell Manager Kuroda, and Toru will tell me."

Butler Iori Muga agreed with a smile, turned around and left the carriage.

Kuroda Bei on the other end of the phone finally reacted, "Girl, are you trying to make me take the blame?"

Kudo Yuki looked at the time on Amuro Toru's phone and tried to run away: "Old senior, there's nothing I can do! After all, you and the head of the Ooka family are good friends, so you can be frank with them. It's easier to get things done with acquaintances."

Kuroda Bei agreed with a smile: "You always give me problems. But don't worry, I will pay attention."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Amuro Toru stuffed his phone into his pocket and looked at Kudo Yuki helplessly. "You only know how to cause trouble for Manager Kuroda."

Kudo Yuki smiled and took Amuro Toru's arm: "Okay, Toru, let's get out quickly too, the train will leave soon."

Amuro Toru nodded, and the two walked out of the car hand in hand.

After the two of them walked out of the car, Amuro Toru frowned slightly: "Xiaoxue, I always feel that the reasons given by the head of the Ooka family are a bit far-fetched. Things can't be that simple."

Kudo Yuki also nodded in agreement: "I feel the same way, and I'm very worried about Conan. I can't let him make any mistakes."

A system notification sounded: "Ding, congratulations to Xiaoxue. The system backend upgrade has reached 25%. Please keep working hard!"

Shushu poked his little head out and reminded: "Xiaoxue, the system background upgrade should be related to your discovery of the winery organization."

Kudo Yuki communicated telepathically: "Shu Shu, your level has been upgraded due to the system upgrade."

After hearing this, Toru Amuro didn't think much about it.

When the two walked out of the station, they saw the Mori father and daughter, Conan, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha sitting on the bench, chatting and laughing while waiting for them.

Kudo Yuki walked up quickly and greeted them with a smile: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. By the way, where's Ms. Ooka?"

Hattori Heiji shrugged helplessly, his hands in his trouser pockets. He said helplessly: "Hongye said she had a karuta competition to participate in, so she left first, so we told you."

Kudo Yuki was a little confused: Oh? Is she in a hurry? "

Yuanshan Heye shook her head: "I don't know, she left in a hurry, she just told us to wait for you here, and then she left in a hurry with Butler Iori."

Conan was scratching his head and happened to see Toru Amuro walking over. He quickly changed the subject: "Brother Amuro, are you free? Why don't you go to Mount Washio with us? It is said that the scenery there is very beautiful. There may be different views if you go there at this time of year."

Amuro Toru had a gentle smile on his face, but still politely declined: "No, I have something else to take care of."
