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

"At least you survived."

In response to Baichuanqiu's words, Curacao simply shrugged and leaned back rather embarrassedly: "If you don't help me find a doctor, I'm not far from death."

"Does that mean you agree to my deal?" Baichuan Qiu asked without hesitation.

Curacao was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said frankly, "You want information about Rum, right? Then the reward you offer is too little."

Shirakawa Qiu is a really strange person. She seems to be close to the Public Security Bureau, but in fact she is also connected with Gin. Curacao does not think that the information she revealed at this moment can guarantee her safety in the future.

She couldn't afford to offend anyone, whether it was the Public Security Bureau, Gin, or Rum.

"Don't worry, I won't hand you over to the police or anyone else in the organization. I'll arrange a brand new identity for you." Bai Chuanqiu spread his hands, "At least it won't be worse than your current situation, right?"

Curacao was silent again.

She lowered her eyes, looked at the little white dolphin pendant in her hand, and did not answer for a long time.

Even though the little white dolphin had accompanied Curacao through the thrilling escape just now, it was still pure white and clean, without a speck of dust.

It is a little dolphin that can be dyed into any color, but she just wants to become a white Curacao——

Curacao's silence was so long that Bai Chuanqiu almost suspected she was dead. Curacao finally stammered, "Okay."

She agreed to the deal.

Bai Chuanqiu smiled and said, "Very good."

……

Rice Flower Hospital.

Morimoto Yui stood in front of the ICU, looking at the silver-haired woman sleeping inside, and rubbed his temples with a headache.

He turned his head and looked at the innocent-looking white-haired young man in front of him with a dark face: "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

God knows what he found out when he received a call from Baichuan Qiu and rushed over in a hurry.

Although Morimoto Yui is still dealing with the remaining cases of Nishizaki Zhouming and the Nishizaki family, it does not mean that he does not know what happened in Tokyo today.

He had also heard that the power outage occurred in the area several kilometers around the Dongdu Aquarium, and that there was a fight between the police and suspected terrorists inside the aquarium.

Morimoto Yui is not stupid. When he saw Shirakawa Yui appear with a seriously injured woman, Morimoto Yui almost instantly understood the situation.

Just thinking about it, Morimoto Yui's expression turned very ugly: "Shirakawa Yui, I thought you had changed a little, but what's wrong with you now? It's better not to say that you were responsible for the Dongdu Aquarium incident!"

Baichuan Qiu touched his nose, feeling helpless about Morimoto Qiu's sharp nerves. "It really has nothing to do with me. I just picked this guy up on the street."

"Okay, I'll call the police right away."

“Don’t, don’t—”

Baichuan Qiu stopped Morimoto Qiu's movements and said, "Brother, brother, stop it. We are just joking. We are in the same boat now. This girl witnessed what we did last night. If this is handed over to the police, she might tell everything."

Morimoto paused.

"Is that so?" Bai Chuanqiu blinked. "I called you over this time because I wanted to borrow your connections to help me suppress her presence. I promise that after she wakes up, I will take her away."

"Who is she to you?"

Morimoto asked with a frown.

"A collaborator. Generally speaking, she has the information I want." Baichuan Qiu said truthfully.

"You didn't participate in what happened today, did you?"

"Really not!"

Morimoto Yu stared at Shirakawa Yu for a long time, and finally made sure that he was not joking this time.

"Just wait for me."

Morimoto Yu continued to make harsh remarks, then turned around and made a phone call.

"Hello? Dean Ito, I have something to ask of you..."

Morimoto Yui walked away to make a phone call, leaving Shirakawa Yui alone there, like a child who had made a mistake, with his legs propped up in boredom and his eyes blank.

"He looks like an older brother," said the system.

The mouth of a knife, the heart of tofu.

Baichuanqiu: "Huh? System, your data is wrong, right? How can you say such a thing?"

System: "I am simply speaking the truth from facts."

Shirakawa Akane: "...Anyway, I don't really understand it. Besides, I don't really like being a younger brother. In comparison, being an older brother is more comfortable."

As for me, my little brother, I just need to protect you!

The system was curious: "Did the host have a younger brother before?"

Baichuan Qiu was silent for a moment: "Yes."

It's just that he wasn't close to that younger brother, and his family intentionally kept them apart, so Baichuan Qiu only met that guy a few times when he was a child. When they met again more than a decade later, he had been spoiled and grown into a stupid and arrogant fat boy, and he had even less interest in communicating with him.

After that... it seemed like I had killed all the animals I could, and I couldn't even remember when I did it.

Baichuan Qiu no longer had any obsessions.

The system said "Oh": "Then I am actually the host's little brother! I have always been led by the host!"

Baichuan Qiu was embarrassed: "But you didn't earn any crime points."

And since he knew the fate of the original owner, he would definitely try his best to avoid killing - at least before the end of Conan.

This means that the system cannot earn points.

The system suddenly remembered: "Yes!"

I almost forgot what it was for!

But it only took a second for the system to feel relieved.

"Oh, forget it. I gave up on this assessment a long time ago," the system said. "I'm just a support. If the host can rely on himself, there's no need for us."

"Now I just hope that the higher-ups will at least give me a pass because we found a broken system and a bug in the rules."

Listening to the system's pitiful voice, Baichuan Qiu held his forehead with his hand. "Come to think of it, how far along was the complaint? I'm really curious about the outcome. My last impression was that the system had made a desperate escape, and it might not have recovered yet."

The only way for him to escape from that bad system back then was to let the bad system leave on its own.

Through his observations, he discovered that this evil system feared two things: one was his death, which was understandable, as if he died, all the system's resources would be useless; the other was his fear of him doing something that would deviate from the character's destiny—something Shirakawa Qiu still didn't quite understand.

The system also muttered: "I don't know, but it should be soon."

"By the way, system, every character has a destiny line, but you don't seem to be worried at all that I might change the character's destiny, or even the ending of the main storyline. This is completely different from that bad system."

The bad system was scared to death, and fled without hesitation after Baichuan Qiu did those two things at the same time, but the small system did not stop Baichuan Qiu's behavior at all.

Why is that?
