Detective Conan: Knifeman? I'm a good citizen of Beihua

Special Search Department.

Morimoto Yu had just finished an interrogation and walked back to the office area looking tired.

"Xiao Ji."

A deep voice came from behind him.

Morimoto stopped and turned to look: "Teacher."

A middle-aged man wearing glasses walked over with a gentle expression: "Thank you for your hard work. I heard that you haven't had a good night's sleep for several days because of this case. Health is more important than work. Don't push yourself too hard."

Morimoto sighed softly: "I'm sorry, I just..."

"Is it because this case is related to your brother?" Nishizaki Zhouming pushed his glasses, and the coldness in his eyes was reflected by the mirror, concealing it just right.

"Yeah." Morimoto Yui responded, "This Tsukamura Kazuya is finally willing to open up, but what he revealed is still too little. I'm really getting anxious."

"Don't be too anxious." Nishizaki Zhouming patted Morimoto Yu's shoulder. "If Shirakawa-kun knew that you worked so hard for their case, I think they would also feel uneasy."

The "Shirakawa-kun" here naturally refers to Morimoto Yu's adoptive father, Shirakawa Masanao.

Morimoto Yu took a deep breath, and the fatigue on his face faded a lot. He nodded seriously to Nishizaki Zhouming: "I understand. Thank you, teacher. If you hadn't been with me all the time, I'm afraid I would be..."

"Alas, there's no need to say such cheesy things." Nishizaki Zhouming smiled. "After all, Shirakawa was my partner when he was alive. I still feel the pain of his death. Now that I can see you carry on his legacy and persevere, I am very happy."

When Morimoto Yui thought of his adoptive parents, his expression darkened.

"Okay, let's stop talking and go back to rest early. Only after a good rest will you have the motivation to continue." Nishizaki Zhouming said with a smile.

"it is good--"

Suddenly, Morimoto Yui remembered another thing, and his expression stiffened: "Oh, teacher, there is one more thing, that is the death of Nishizaki Daisora..."

Xi Qi Zhou Ming frowned, his expression full of disgust: "I already know about his affairs. Since he has made so many mistakes, it is a pity that he ended up dead!"

Morimoto Yui narrowed his eyes slightly: "I heard that his illegitimate child is related to Linlu Construction..."

"Don't be shy about me. If you want to investigate, just do it directly. It's best to investigate thoroughly and not leave any loopholes! He's just a branch of our Xiqi family. We haven't had any contact in years. I didn't expect that this time he would be involved with Linlu Construction. It's a complete insult to our family's honor!"

Xi Qi Zhou Ming was very angry: "Our master family is ready to expel him. We can't let such a scum continue to stay in our family."

After saying this, he looked at Morimoto Yu again with a sincere expression: "If you have any doubts in your heart, you can always come and investigate our Nishizaki family. I will let them cooperate with your work. Don't worry, I don't mind."

Morimoto's expression softened, and he looked apologetic: "Sorry, teacher, this is our duty."

Xi Qi Zhou Ming waved his hands nonchalantly: "It's okay, I know everything."

"Thank you, teacher."

After the two separated, the smile on Nishizaki Zhouming's face faded a lot.

After watching the figure disappear at the end of the corridor, he took off his glasses and wiped them expressionlessly.

"Isn't it good to be a good student without knowing anything?"

He murmured softly.

"You'd better... don't let me down."

-

into the night.

The moonlight poured into the room, filling it with tenderness. However, the young man on the bed frowned and fell into a nightmare.

"Who are you?"

A childish voice sounded.

"I am you."

The emotionless mechanical voice spoke slowly.

"You are me? Then who am I?"

……

"None of this matters. From now on, you just need to listen to me obediently, because I am you and I won't hurt you."

The child tilted his head, blinked his watery eyes, and wrinkled his nose in confusion: "But I can't make this sound."

"Because I'm just your fantasy."

"Fantasy? What is that? A dream?"

"That's about right. You can think of all this as a dream, and I will teach you how to be a bad guy."

"Bad guy? A real bad guy! I know! Mom told me that bad guys will be shot!" The child was distressed, "But what does shooting mean?"

"Don't worry about it, look to your right—"

Although the child is small, he is very smart and has already distinguished left from right.

Over there was a slide with a little girl of his age sitting on it.

"Go up and push her down."

"Why?" the child was very confused. "Mom said we should be polite to girls and not be bad boys!"

Children at this moment already have a vague sense of morality under the education of their parents.

"This... this is just a game, a manly game!"

The mechanical voice was bewitching.

"Do you want to be a man?"

The child's eyes lit up: "Yes!"

"Take it and push her down."

"But……"

The child hesitated.

"Your mother has always lied to you. Only bad boys can become men! Your mother is a bad person!"

“That’s not the case!”

"Then let's make a bet. Go push that girl down and see how your mother reacts. She'll definitely beat you up! Because she's a bad person!"

The naive child was confused by the mechanical sound and did not understand what this moment meant.

So he plucked up the courage to step forward and push the little girl down.

The little girl fell off the slide and hit her face on the ground.

Sure enough, his mother beat him severely.

The child cried loudly.

The mechanical voice sneered, "See, she's a bad guy!"

Child: "But my mom said she hit me because I did something wrong."

"These are just her excuses. But I am you! Don't you believe me?"

Child: “But…”

"Okay, listen to me, I'll teach you how to grow up and become the most powerful murderer!"

Child: “What is that?”

"It's a very impressive profession, and it's also your future career."

Child: "But I don't want to. I want to be a police officer when I grow up! Or a prosecutor like my dad!"

"No, you have to listen to me."

Child: "Wow, why, wow, I don't want to..."

……

The young man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.

"hiss--"

Baichuan Qiu gasped for breath, holding his head tightly, his golden eyes stained with a hint of scarlet. He quickly turned over and got out of bed, walked hurriedly to the kitchen, and poured himself a glass of cold water.

"Gulu——"

After drinking the water in one breath, Baichuan Qiu sat on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze with his eyes empty.

"Host? What's wrong with you?"

The system was also awakened by Baichuan Qiu's actions, and slowly started to work, asking some questions in a strange manner.

At this moment, the mechanical sound in the dream and the mechanical sound in the mind overlapped together——

True and false, like an inescapable nightmare.

"Shut up."

The young man scolded in a cold voice, his scarlet eyes filled with coldness, and his fingers twitched nervously.

"I don't want to hear your voice."

——It makes people disgusted to the point of madness.
