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

Kudo Yuki leaned on the soft sofa. She had just received a message from Karasuma Renya. She opened her mobile phone to check it. Her eyes stayed on the message for a moment, as if she wanted to see the deeper meaning behind the short text.

The message reads:

Good wine, you have completed your task very well. I will pay you the bill. - Old man

She closed her phone and put it aside, and fell into a state of boredom. Her eyes were a little blurry, and she just leaned quietly on the sofa, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

I don't know how long it was, but suddenly there was a very slight knock on the door in the quiet bedroom, and the sound was like a kitten scratching the door gently.

The slight noise still woke Kudo Yuki from her vague thoughts. She slowly stood up and walked towards the door. The moment she opened the door, Sawada Hiroki's young and cute face appeared in front of her.

Hiroki Sawada stood at the door in a small figure. He was wearing a light blue shirt with a crooked bow tie on his collar, which made him look particularly lovable. His eyes revealed a hint of confusion and expectation, like a deer lost in the forest, eager to find the way home.

When Kudo Yuki saw Hiroki Sawada's appearance, a warm smile immediately appeared on her face. She slowly squatted down and looked at Hiroki Sawada at eye level.

Hiroki Sawada blinked his big black gemstone eyes and asked in a childish voice: "Sister Xue, is the country you are talking about returning to my birthplace?"

Kudo Yuki's voice was as gentle as the spring breeze: "Yes, Hiroki, that's where you were born. You see, although you have achieved great success now, in many ways you are even better than many adults.

But you are still a 10-year-old child. You should have a carefree time like other children, enjoy a happy childhood, and live a happy life. Don't let those heavy things weigh on you too early."

Hiroki Sawada listened quietly to what Kudo Yuki said, with a gleam in his eyes, which seemed to contain longing and hope for the future.

Just then, Kudo Yukiko's cheerful voice came from the living room: "It's time to eat!"

Kudo Yuki stood up with a smile, gently took Sawada Hiroki's hand, and led him to the living room.

The table was filled with sumptuous dishes that exuded an enticing aroma, including the golden and crispy skin of the roast chicken, colorful vegetable salads, and steaming thick soup.

Kudo Yuki, Morobushi Keimitsu and Sawada Hiroki sat down at the dining table. Sawada Hiroki looked at the delicacies curiously, his little face full of anticipation.

Several people sat around the dining table, happily enjoying this warm meal. Hiroki Sawada ate with his mouth full, looking as cute as a little hamster, while Yuki Kudo picked up food for him from time to time, her eyes full of love. Yukiko Kudo looked at them with a happy smile on her face.

After the meal, Kudo Yukiko stood up and said to Kudo Yuki and Sawada Hiroki with a smile: "Let's go, I'll drive you to the airport."

Kudo Yuki and Morobushi Keimitsu each carried their own suitcases and walked towards Kudo Yukiko's car with Sawada Hiroki. Sawada Hiroki jumped in front, full of anticipation for the upcoming journey.

Yukiko Kudo started the car skillfully. The car made a low roar, then slowly drove out of the parking space and drove slowly towards the airport with the three people in it.

Along the way, Kudo Yuki quietly looked at the street scene outside the window that was constantly receding. The tall buildings, busy streets and bustling crowds flashed quickly in her eyes.

Hiroki Sawada sat quietly in the back seat, his hands clenched tightly, his eyes looking out the window, but his eyes revealed his thoughts about the future.

He seemed to be imagining what it would be like when he returned to his birthplace, and what he would experience. The car was driving smoothly on the road, and the sun shone through the window onto them, as if laying a layer of warm light on their new journey.

Finally, the magnificent outline of the airport appeared before their eyes, and Kudo Yukiko parked the car skillfully.

The three of them walked slowly towards the terminal hall with their luggage.

They were waiting to board the plane in the terminal hall. Kudo Yuki and Morobushi Keimitsu kept looking down at their phones to confirm flight information. Sawada Hiroki looked around curiously, looking at the busy people and various signs.

They heard the boarding announcement, picked up their luggage and walked to the boarding gate. After boarding the plane, they found their seats and put their luggage away.

Hiroki Sawada sat by the window, looking at the scenery outside the window excitedly. As the plane took off, the scenery on the ground became smaller and smaller, and there was a gleam in his eyes.

During the flight, Kudo Yuki and Morobushi Keimitsu both took a nap, while Sawada Hiroki kept looking at the clouds outside the window excitedly, occasionally chatting with the passengers next to him. When the plane landed at the destination, Sawada Hiroki grabbed Kudo Yuki's hand.

After leaving the airport, they breathed in the fresh air and felt the atmosphere of their own country. Kudo Yuki hailed a taxi, told the address, and the car sped towards the Poirot Cafe.

The three of them walked into the store. When Azusa Enomoto saw Kudo Yuki, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, a smile suddenly blossomed on her face. She took a few quick steps, came in front of Kudo Yuki, and greeted her with a smile: "Boss, welcome back."

Kudo Yuki looked at Enomoto Azusa with kindness in her eyes. She smiled and winked at Enomoto Azusa: "I want to entertain two friends, so bring some more food and desserts."

Enomoto Azusa understood what she meant. She knew Kudo Yuki's taste and knew that her friends would also like the food here, so she nodded quickly: "Okay, no problem."

Kudo Yuki called out to Enomoto Azusa who was about to leave: "Enomoto, has Amuro Toru come to the store recently? How is the store going?"

When talking about Toru Amuro, Azusa Enomoto's face immediately showed a proud expression: "Boss, you don't know how popular Mr. Amuro is. After he came, there were many more people in the store. Moreover, some of them came specifically to see him. He is very popular with women."

Amuro Toru coughed twice to hide his embarrassment. Kudo Yuki glanced at Amuro Toru and said, "Then I will take my friend to my secret room first."

Azusa Enomoto made a gesture of invitation, and the three of them walked into the private room and closed the door. Afterwards, she placed the best snacks and desserts in the store on the table, then tactfully closed the door and did not enter the room again.

As soon as Kudo Yuki took a bite of the sandwich, she immediately realized that it was made by Amuro Toru. She turned on her phone and sent a message to Amuro Toru. Zhu Fushimi watched Kudo Yuki's actions, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions, just continued to eat the snack in his hand. Sawada Hiroki ate the new dessert obediently, full of energy.

Kudo Yuki took out a piece of paper from her bag and wrote on it with a message marker: "Put aside the work in your hands for now. Come to the secret room (your salary will not be deducted)."

Morobushi Keimitsu and Sawada Hiroki looked at the pen in Kudo Yuki's hand and saw that she was writing and drawing on the paper without leaving any traces. The two looked at each other, their hearts full of curiosity, but they did not interrupt and continued to eat the snacks in their hands.

After putting the pen back into her bag, Yuki Kudo stood up and walked to the kitchen. She lowered her footsteps and quietly approached Amuro Toru who was making desserts. Amuro Toru seemed to have guessed that someone would come. He did not turn around, but continued to pretend that he did not see it and concentrated on making the desserts in his hands.

Amuro Toru suddenly turned around and looked at Kudo Yuki, with a slight smile on his face: "Xiaoxue, you just came back from the United States. How is it?"

When Kudo Yukimi was discovered by Amuro Toru, she simply opened the note and showed it to him. Amuro Toru saw the words on the note, nodded, and then took out all the snacks that had been stored in the refrigerator and gave them to Enomoto Azusa, asking her to deliver them to the guest's private room.

Amuro Toru followed Kudo Yuki to the secret room. He looked at Morobushi Keimitsu and a little boy, and he understood the general idea. He looked at the boy and said, "This must be Sawada Hiroki."

Kudo Yuki nodded and introduced him to Sawada Hiroki: "His name is Amuro Toru, and he has the same profession as me. Let's eat first, and after that I'll take you to my secret weapons base to talk in detail."

Hiroki Sawada looked at Toru Amuro with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He nodded and agreed to Kudo Yuki's proposal.

A few minutes later, Kudo Yuki called Enomoto Azusa and said, "Enomoto, I'll spare you some trouble today. The snacks prepared by Amuro Toru should be enough. Come on! Your salary will be doubled today."

When Azusa Enomoto heard the words "double salary", her eyes lit up with excitement: "Okay, boss, I'll get busy."

After saying that, Azusa Enomoto quickly cleaned up the dishes and hurried out. Amuro Toru watched what Kudo Yuki did and couldn't help but teased: "Xiaoxue, if you arrange it this way, my salary will soon be equal to that of Azusa Enomoto."

Kudo Yuki covered her mouth and pursed her lips to snicker: "Toru, I won't let you suffer any loss regarding salary. Let's go to another place to talk about it."

After saying that, Kudo Yuki opened the hidden mechanism as usual. The door slowly opened, and the three people and the child walked into the stairs, walked down a distance, and came to a door. Amuro Toru skillfully entered the password, opened the door, and the four people walked into the house.

Hiroki Sawada sat on the sofa obediently, looking around at this mysterious place. Yuki Kudo and Keimitsu Morobushi walked out of the bedroom, their luggage already packed.

The four of them sat around the sofa, and Kudo Yuki's gaze fell on Sawada Hiroki, her eyes full of expectation and concern.

"Hiroki, as you can see, the three of us are actually police officers from the Ministry of Public Security." Kudo Yuki's voice was gentle but firm. "Before I came to the United States, my boss called me and asked me to invite you to the Metropolitan Police Department to be the exclusive system operator of the Metropolitan Police Department."

When Hiroki Sawada heard this, his body subconsciously tensed up, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He stared at Kudo Yuki closely, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Sister Yuki, I know what you mean."

Amuro Toru was keenly aware of the boy's change. He gently patted Sawada Hiroki's shoulder, trying to ease his tension: "You don't have to be so nervous. You have the right to refuse, and you also have the right to accept. The Metropolitan Police Department will not treat you as a slave and monitor you 24 hours a day. You will be treated the same as us there, except that you will be responsible for the research and development and improvement of the entire Metropolitan Police Department's police system."

Sawada Hiroki was slightly stunned, obviously a little surprised by what Amuro Toru said. He raised his head, looked at Amuro Toru, then looked at Kudo Yuki and Morobushi Keimitsu, the vigilance in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a trace of doubt and thinking.

Zhu Fu Jingguang also echoed: "Hiroki, except for working hours, you can arrange your time freely here, so don't worry. You are a talented person, and the Metropolitan Police Department doesn't want to miss you."

Kudo Yuki watched Hiroki Sawada thinking quietly. She did not interrupt his thoughts, but just smiled and nodded.

However, a subtle sound caught the attention of Kudo Yuki and Amuro Toru. They turned their eyes to the source of the sound and saw a little squirrel struggling to pull something out of the suitcase.

The corner of Kudo Yuki's mouth twitched, and she whispered softly, "Shu Shu, don't mess up the bedroom."

Amuro Toru only heard Kudo Yuki calling the little thing "Mouse", but he still couldn't see it. On the other hand, Morobushi Keimitsu and Sawada Hiroki could neither see nor hear what Kudo Yuki said.

Amuro Toru retracted his gaze, looked at Sawada Hiroki, and spoke again: "Hiroki, since you have questions, why don't you talk to Officer Kuroda Heibei on the phone first? You can raise any request you want."

Hiroki Sawada thought about it and felt that Toru Amuro's suggestion made sense, so he nodded: "Okay then."

Amuro Toru stretched out a hand and looked at Kudo Yuki. Seeing this, Kudo Yuki stretched out her own hand, but saw that Amuro Toru suddenly dodged and her attack missed.

Amuro Toru stretched out his other hand, still smiling at her. Morifushi Keimitsu looked at the two people's quarrel as if nothing had happened. Sawada Hiroki was a little confused, but seeing that Morifushi Keimitsu didn't say anything, he followed suit.

Seeing that Amuro Toru didn't say anything, Kudo Yuki simply picked up her phone. However, as soon as she turned on the phone, Amuro Toru's hand reached out in front of the phone and waved it away.

Kudo Yuki handed the phone to Amuro Toru somewhat helplessly. Amuro Toru looked at Kudo Yuki and murmured, "Xiaoxue, can you lend me your phone?"

"Oh." Kudo Yuki agreed subconsciously.

Shushu watched the interaction between the two people from the side, and was worried for Kudo Yuki: [Xiaoxue, you're on your own, watching the show is more suitable for me.]

Amuro Toru skillfully used Kudo Yuki's phone to call Kuroda Heibei. After the phone rang a few times, Kuroda Heibei's familiar voice came from the receiver: "Kudo, how was your stay in the United States? Did you bring any local specialties with you?"

When Toru Amuro heard what Kuroda said, he couldn't help but glance at Yuki Kudo. Yuki Kudo looked confused, she didn't understand why Toru Amuro used her phone to call Kuroda and mentioned her.

Amuro Toru retracted his gaze and coughed lightly, trying to hide his embarrassment: "Administrator, it's me."
