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

"Eh? So that criminal from three years ago shows up again?"

Bai Chuanqiu came back to his senses and was a little surprised: "It's been so long, why didn't you tell me?"

Matsuda Jinpei glared at him and said, "We wanted to call you, but you changed your phone number again, so we couldn't find you at all."

Baichuan Qiu felt guilty: "Hey, so that's it..."

During that time I was abroad, I did not use my original mobile phone number again.

"That's when Xiao Zhenping secretly went to the Investigation Section 1 without telling me, hoping to find the criminal before me—but who would have thought! This guy actually has a girlfriend!"

Matsuda Jinpei explained loudly, "We got together after the case was over! It wasn't long! Three days!"

Later, I was transferred back to the mobile team and we had almost no contact. At most, we were colleagues and we collaborated on a few cases.

Hagiwara Kenji ignored his pale explanation and pulled Shirakawa Akane to continue complaining: "Little Shirakawa, you have to stand on my side this time."

Shirakawa Qiu: "Huh?"

Hagiwara Kenji pointed at Matsuda Jinpei and said angrily, "That gangster planted a time bomb on a Ferris wheel, intending to lure people to their deaths. But this guy, knowing it was a trap, walked right up to it. If I hadn't stopped him in time, he would have been blown into a firework!"

Matsuda Jinpei turned his eyes away uncomfortably. "Isn't this an emergency? There could be other people's lives on the Ferris wheel. I definitely can't stand by and watch him hurt others!"

Hagiwara Kenji got angry the moment he mentioned this: "There's always a way out. Otherwise, you'd just die in vain! Look, didn't we manage to catch that guy in the end? If you had really gotten killed by the explosion, I'd have laughed you to death! I'd go to your grave and laugh at you every year!"

Matsuda Jinpei spat softly, "Pah! Pah! I'm not dead! Then wasn't what you did before also very infuriating?"

Hagiwara Kenji: "Hey, let's not bring up the past!"

In the blink of an eye, the two former friends turned against each other. Baichuan Qiu looked around with his hands raised, and for a moment he didn't know who to persuade first.

"If it weren't for the portrait of the criminal provided by Shirakawa, we wouldn't have caught the criminal. What would have happened to the people who were nearly killed in the explosion?"

"But we have a portrait, and we successfully caught him! Those assumptions are simply not true!"

The two of them were talking back and forth. Enomoto Azusa placed two glasses of water in front of them, looking at the two store managers' friends with some curiosity, a genuine smile on his face. "Two glasses of water, please enjoy."

Matsuda Jinpei's mouth was dry as he spoke. He picked up the water cup and drank it all in one gulp. Then he wiped his mouth in dissatisfaction: "Shirakawa came back without saying hello to us this time. We will definitely make a killing from you later."

Baichuan Qiu's face instantly fell: "Okay."

He asked again: "Is the squad leader coming?"

"The squad leader's wife is pregnant, and he's been running back and forth a lot lately. He really can't spare the time, so he asked us to say hello to you on his behalf," said Kenji Hagiwara.

"Pregnant? Good news!" Baichuan Qiu was pleasantly surprised and sincerely happy for the squad leader.

"They got married last year. It's a pity that you didn't reply when I sent you a message. The squad leader felt regretful for a long time." Matsuda Jinpei added.

Bai Chuanqiu sighed: "I was abroad at that time and didn't have time to read these!"

Ahhh, this is the ultimate marriage! He was a step too late.

"When the baby is born, I must go to drink a full moon wine." Baichuanqiu promised, "Anyway, I have settled down in Mihua, and I will visit him and sister-in-law often in the future."

After chatting with the squad leader, Hagiwara Kenji held his chin and looked at Shirakawa Akane with a smile: "Little Shirakawa, is your store clerk still single?"

Baichuanqiu shook his finger: "No, no."

Hagiwara Kenji looked pitiful and innocent: "I was just asking casually."

Matsuda Jinpei reveals his shortcomings: "Women are like flowers, but they don't have him in their love life."

"puff--"

Baichuan Qiu burst out laughing.

Hagiwara Kenji looked at Matsuda Jinpei in disbelief: "Jinpei, you, you——"

Matsuda Jinpei chuckled, showing his white, shining teeth to Hagiwara Kenji: "Hagi, just accept your fate, I'm here to accompany you."

Hagiwara Kenji covered his chest and acted coquettishly: "Xiao~Zhen~ping~you are so nice to Kenji~~~"

Matsuda Jinpei: ...yue

Baichuanqiu: ...Hold back your laughter, Yue

Although the three had not seen each other for many years, they still felt familiar when sitting together again. They chatted with each other about their recent situation and the atmosphere was extremely good.

-

In the evening, Shirakawa Qiu had a heavy bleeding and treated the two of them to a barbecue. The three of them were obviously almost 30 years old, but they still acted like children after drinking too much. They hugged each other and sang with wine bottles, their voices full of joy and relaxation.

It was past midnight when Hagiwara Kenji, who had regained some consciousness, supported Matsuda Jinpei and waved to Shirakawa Akane under the streetlight: "Goodbye, Shirakawa-chan! Remember to send us a message when you get back safely."

Bai Chuanqiu smiled and waved: "Okay."

Matsuda Jinpei asked with some difficulty, "You're not leaving, are you?"

Bai Chuanqiu was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "No."

The three people waved to each other under the light, then turned around and walked towards home.

I don't know why, they were always under the lights when they separated, but as they walked, the two figures supporting each other were still stepping on the light and shadow, walking along the streets of Tokyo along the bright lights.

The white-haired young man, who was alone, lowered his eyes and suddenly stopped, only to find that his figure was completely shrouded in shadows, feeling inexplicably desolate.

They are clearly just two different roads, but why is one bright and the other dark?

The contrast is so tragic.

"If even the road is unfair, how can fate be fair?"

Thinking of this, Bai Chuanqiu was stunned for a moment, then laughed at himself: "When did I become so pretentious?"

How can being able to be reborn not be considered a favor from fate?

How come he got stuck in a dead end just now and became inexplicably stubborn?

Baichuan Qiu frowned and covered his chest.

Perhaps, it was the power of the plot that was influencing him again.

Just at this moment, the system came online again: "I've noticed that the host is in a very bad mood! It's my turn to take action~ Let's go kill a few people for fun! Seeing all that blood and corpses... the host's mood will definitely improve a lot!"

Baichuan Qiu: "..."

Good, now I feel even worse.

The system was completely unaware: "If the host is still unwilling to kill, there are many other opportunities waiting for us at night!"

Baichuan Qiu: "..."

I don’t really want to know what other opportunities are waiting for me, thank you.

“Dark↗night↘dark↗night↘~~~our↘protective↗color↗~~~~~murder↗people↘arson↗~~~our↘new↗life↗~~~~~”

When Baichuanqiu was silent, the system suddenly sang an emotional and encouraging song in its emotionless mechanical voice.

The lyrics should be his original creation. The singing voice is unpleasant to the ears, but it has an inexplicable brainwashing magic that directly "created" Baichuan Qiu so much that he couldn't think of anything else.

He covered his ears, but he couldn't block the evil sound in his head. He suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and he was almost singing half to death.

He could only collapse and yell, "Shut up! If you sing again, I'll run away from Mihua overnight!"

The system instantly mutes the microphone, allowing for flexibility in control.

Baichuan Qiu shook his head, which was being scratched, and his steps back to the apartment suddenly became hurried.

All the resentment and sadness are gone!

All he wants now is to go home and sleep!

System: Hehe.
