With the advance notice of "someone with a caring heart", a ship large enough to accommodate everyone on the island appeared near Matsuura Island in time.

Everyone boarded the boat in an orderly manner, and finally, with the shaking boat, they left the still burning Matsuura Island.

Shirakawa Qiu stood behind the railing, looking up at the burning island. Thick smoke curled up and finally dyed the entire sky black and red. Even the sea surface reflected the dazzling scarlet.

——A small island still stuck in the Edo period was reduced to ashes in this fire.

People who have been in seclusion for many years will eventually be forced to enter the new era society.

The instigator of all this had no expression on his face, as if everything happening before his eyes was not his masterpiece.

"Shirakawa."

A man's voice came.

Baichuan Qiu turned his head: "Zhu Fu."

"Are your eyes okay?" Zhu Fu Jingguang asked with some concern when he saw his red and swollen eyes.

"It's okay, it will be fine soon." Shirakawa Qiu's gaze fell behind Zhu Fujingguang, "Where's Makino Xiaoyou?"

Zhu Fujingguang: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements and will definitely not let him run away."

Shirakawa sighed, "Okay... I'm sorry for letting Sakuta escape."

Zhu Fujingguang patted Baichuanqiu's shoulder and said gently: "It's not your fault. I'm already very happy that you can come to help me."

In fact, they had already contacted each other a few days ago.

Zhu Fujingguang had already discovered Makino Xiaoyou, but he was not living a good life and did not look like the son of Green Chat. This made Zhu Fujingguang more vigilant and he did not show up, but quietly observed to prevent everything from being a conspiracy of Green Chat.

Shirakawa Akane took the initiative to investigate in the open, hiding the existence of Zhufu Jingguang.

This just caught Sakuda off guard.

"However, I'm not without gain." Baichuan Qiu smiled cunningly, took out the pocket watch from his arms and handed it to Zhufu Jingguang.

Zhu Fu Jingguang took it and was stunned after opening it.

This is a very ordinary European pocket watch, except that there is a photo inside the cover.

It was a photo of a father and son. They were standing in front of a Western-style duplex building. The man had blond hair and blue eyes. He was holding a baby in his arms with a smile on his face.

Zhu Fu Jingguang narrowed his eyes.

The man in the photo... must be Green Chat!

Then the one he was holding in his arms... must be the baby Makino Xiaoyou.

Zhu Fujingguang stared at the building behind them, thoughtfully.

"Are Green Chat's parents in the United States like this?" Baichuanqiu asked tentatively.

Zhu Fujingguang shook his head: "This is not Green Chat's residence in the United States."

Baichuan Qiu held his chin and said thoughtfully: "This pocket watch was secretly left by Sakuda. Compared to everything Green Chat has given me, this is the most important one."

This was admitted by Sakuta himself, so Shirakawa Akane went to great lengths to find a way to get the pocket watch.

But he didn't know what the pocket watch was for.

"As for the other important things, they were all hidden by Sakuta in his office," Shirakawa Akane said slowly. "He's quite good at hiding things. He puts things in the police station office, making it difficult for ordinary people to sneak in and get them."

Zhu Fujingguang was a little surprised: "He actually revealed so many things?"

Bai Chuanqiu coughed lightly: "Now that I think about it, he deliberately said this information to make me let down my guard. Otherwise, maybe I could get more information from him."

In fact, the most important thing is this pocket watch. As for the remaining evidence and clues, they are all in the office. It doesn’t matter whether Sakuda is alive or dead.

Baichuan Qiu must have emptied him out long ago, otherwise he wouldn't have just left him there...

Well, once the evidence is in the office, Zhu Fu can return to the Public Security Bureau and take the opportunity to rectify the situation internally. Then he won't have to risk his life fighting alone.

A smile flashed across the white-haired young man's eyes, but it quickly faded. Unbeknownst to him, Morobushi Kagemitsu was still trying to comfort him: "It's okay, Shirakawa. We've already gained a lot this time. I'll notify Zero shortly and have them go to Shizuoka Prefecture to look for evidence."

"Well, I hope there are enough clues." Baichuan Qiu nodded.

"Mr. Shirakawa."

Conan trotted over and stood in front of the two men.

He looked at Zhu Fujingguang and met those familiar blue cat eyes. He frowned slightly and thought: "This gentleman...his eyes look a lot like a police officer I know."

Zhu Fujingguang was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "Really?"

Morobushi Kagemitsu also has an older brother named Morobushi Takaaki, who currently works in Nagano Prefecture. Perhaps the child in front of him has seen his brother before.

However, Zhu Fujingguang did not intend to mention his brother on his own initiative.

"My name is Midorikawa Hikaru," Zhufu Jingguang said in a gentle voice, "We worked very well together just now. Thank you, little friend."

Conan introduced himself: "My name is Edogawa Conan, and I'm a detective."

Zhu Fujingguang raised his eyebrows and said in agreement: "Ah, so you are a little detective, no wonder you are so powerful."

Conan: "...Hehe, thank you for the compliment."

I always feel that this uncle is treating him like a child.

"puff--"

Baichuan Qiu almost burst out laughing.

I somehow feel that it's funny when these two people get along with each other.

Conan: "By the way, actually, the reason I came here is..."

"Ahem." Zhu Fujingguang coughed lightly and interrupted Conan, "We are on the same side as Amuro-kun, kid, do you understand?"

Conan's pupils shrank slightly.

It turned out to be... the police.

He looked at Baichuanqiu.

Could it be that Mr. Shirakawa is also...

Bai Chuanqiu shrugged: "Don't look at me, I'm just an assistant like you."

Assistants are non-staff personnel who assist public security in its work.

Conan is one of Rei Furuya's assistants.

"You are our companion." Zhu Fujingguang corrected.

Baichuan Qiu laughed: "It's all the same."

“That’s a huge difference.”

Baichuan Qiu: "...Okay, you have the final say."

Sometimes I feel that Morofushi Kagemitsu is even more stubborn than Matsuda Jinpei.

Conan looked left and right, and swallowed the question he wanted to ask for the time being.

"I'll go there first."

After chatting for a while, Zhu Fu Jingguang left first.

Only Shirakawa Akane and Conan were left speechless.

Fortunately, the ship reached the shore very quickly.

At this moment, the police have received the news. There are many cars parked at the port. Shirakawa Akane, Maori Kogoro and others are ready to be questioned by the police.

Before leaving, Lin Zhaowu came over.

"Teacher Bai, we are going back this time." Lin Zhaowu is a foreigner. After the incident happened, they were the first to contact the embassy, ​​and the subsequent handover of issues will be handled by them.

"Okay." Bai Chuanqiu returned the wrapped sword to Lin Zhaowu with an apologetic look on his face. "The Hanfu is a little dirty. I'll take it back and wash it, then have Zhao Zhao bring it to you."

"No need." Lin Zhaowu took the sword with a smile, "It's just a piece of clothing, not worth mentioning."

He paused, then took the initiative to say, "This time, we're purely volunteering to help. After all, you're Zhao Zhao's friend, so it's only natural for us to take a little more care of you. If you need anything in the future, you can always contact us."

Bai Chuanqiu understood: "Your elder brother asked you to say this, right?"

Lin Zhaowu smiled calmly: "Yes, my eldest brother said that Mr. Bai has his own rules, and we also have our own rules in the Lin family. We have always treated you, Mr. Bai, sincerely without asking for anything in return."

Baichuan Qiu: "..."

He was silent for a moment, then said bluntly: "Your elder brother... is quite shameless."

It was originally just a transaction, but now, thanks to his elder brother, it has turned into a favor.

——And favors are the hardest thing to repay.
