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

"boom--"

Suddenly there was a loud noise outside.

Matsuda Jinpei's original desire to continue investigating disappeared in an instant.

Worried that something had happened to Kenji Hagiwara, he turned around and ran out without hesitation.

Just as Matsuda Jinpei ran out, Shirakawa Akira also rushed out quickly and ran towards the door.

"Hagiwara, what's going on?"

Jinpei Matsuda walked back from the other side as if nothing had happened. Seeing that Kenji Hagiwara was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, then trotted over with a worried look on his face to ask.

Hagiwara Kenji wasn't quite sure what had happened. He took off his explosion-proof helmet and looked at the team members around him: "It seems like there was an explosion over there on the playground."

The team member pulled out his phone and nodded to the two men. "Yes, the bomb blew up a large crater about ten meters in diameter in the playground. Fortunately, no one was there, so there were no casualties."

"What? It sounds much more powerful than what I have—"

As Hagiwara Kenji was speaking, he saw Matsuda Jinpei suddenly realized something and turned around and ran back.

"Matsuda, what's wrong?"

Before Matsuda Jinpei could answer, he hurried back to the door of the archive room, but he only managed to see a black figure flash past the stairs.

"stop!"

Matsuda Jinpei shouted and strode after him.

However, the other party seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here. After turning a few stairs, he completely disappeared from Matsuda Jinpei's sight.

Jinpei Matsuda looked serious as he strode to the window in the corridor and suddenly opened the curtains, but he only saw the high walls and the mobile team members running towards the playground.

"Captain Matsuda!" A team member trotting over saw Jinpei Matsuda and called out, "The bomb on the playground went off. Is everything okay over there?"

Matsuda Jinpei had a cold expression on his face. He leaned forward and looked around, then asked the team member, "Did you see anyone suspicious just now?"

The team member shook his head blankly: "No, Captain Matsuda, those who ran over here are all our people."

Jinpei Matsuda clenched his fists, knowing that he had lost the target.

"hateful!"

He pounded on the windowsill.

That guy is definitely related to the car accident seven years ago!

Unfortunately, he lost the chase!

-

On the other side, Baichuan Qiu had left the police academy and blended back into the crowd. In an inconspicuous corner, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat down on the ground.

"Hu-hu-"

The black-haired young man gasped and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his face.

The system seemed to have just relaxed from the thrilling chase, and sighed fearfully: "Fortunately, the host reacted quickly, otherwise he would have been caught."

Baichuan Qiu sighed: "I really didn't expect that the person who came in to look through the information would be Matsuda."

If the other party hadn't yelled, he really wouldn't have been able to recognize that the person who almost saw him was actually Jinpei Matsuda.

"Fortunately I run fast."

But it also stimulated his physical potential. His physical condition was too poor, and the skill [Escape Master] almost caused him to fail.

System: "But host, since it's Matsuda Jinpei, there's no need for you to run. Judging from his condition, he probably wants to help you investigate what happened before."

Baichuan Qiu sighed: "Then how should I explain to him the time bomb in the police academy and the disguise on my face?"

System: "Uh... I think based on Matsuda Jinpei's personality, he won't do anything to you."

At most, I'll treat you to a few more meals.

Baichuanqiu: "...Maybe what you said makes some sense."

He lowered his eyes, looking at his hands that had turned pale from excessive exercise, and said in a cryptic voice, "It's just that he shouldn't have gotten involved in such things."

System: "The problem is that he has already gotten involved, and judging by the situation, he wants to bring Hagiwara Kenji along."

Baichuan Qiu: "..."

System: "According to my calculations, even if you stop him, there's a high probability that he'll continue investigating—he seems quite stubborn."

Baichuan Qiu: "...Aren't you a criminal system? Why do you make me sound like a bad person who deceived their feelings and is selfish?"

The system sighed and said in a condescending tone, "The main thing is, as the host's system, I also have to care about the host's mental health. If the host spends too much time thinking about this kind of thing, I'm afraid there won't be much energy left to think about how to become the leader of the rice flower criminals."

Baichuan Qiu: "..."

It’s pretty good. The system always makes him feel dizzy when he is inexplicably moved.

Sometimes I really want to open the system data and study its composition carefully.

"Let me think about it again."

Baichuan Qiu sighed deeply, then slowly got up from the ground.

"How's your big data screening going? Are there any suspicious individuals?"

System: "What a coincidence, host, there are three people in total."

Baichuan Qiu: "That's... normal - it's almost time, I'll go back first, you can sort it out and send it to me later."

He understands the three choices in the Conan world.

System: "Host, why don't you go and see how things are going at the exhibition?"

Baichuan Qiu shrugged: "I am the victim, what does what happened over there have to do with me."

He is not interested at all in the love-hate relationship between Kaito Kid and Conan.

Having said that, Baichuanqiu started to rush back.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as he returned to the apartment, Baichuan Qiu heard a hurried knock on the door.

"咚咚-"

"Manager, are you home?"

"咚咚-"

"Shirakawa!"

Baichuan Qiu paused while taking off his clothes.

This voice—is Toru Amuro!

Why is he here?

Baichuan Qiu changed clothes a little faster.

The system also became nervous: "Could it be that Conan noticed something was wrong and asked Amuro to come through to check on you?"

Baichuan Qiu frowned: "It's faster than I thought."

The system urged: "Host, you better go open the door quickly."

Bai Chuanqiu pondered for a moment, shook his head, and lay down on the bed: "No rush."

There was a knock on the door for a moment, then it stopped.

System: "Did he give up?"

"Om - hum -"

Baichuanqiu's phone started vibrating again.

Instead, Baichuan Qiu closed his eyes peacefully.

System: "Host, there's no need to be so cautious, right?"

Baichuanqiu: "There's an old Chinese saying, 'Better safe than sorry.'"

The system sighed: "It would be great if the host could spend this time committing crimes."

Shirakawa Akane: "...I think I just blew up the police academy's playground."

System: “Yes.”

There was silence on the other side for a while.

"Well done, the host is the best, keep up the good work!"

Baichuan Qiu didn't want to talk anymore.

Outside the door, Toru Amuro looked at the phone that had no answer, with hesitation on his face.

Baichuan... nothing should have happened, right?

He felt a little worried, picked up a piece of wire in his hand, and played with it back and forth carelessly.

If he wanted to, he could go in directly.

But how should he explain the lock-picking skill to Baichuan Qiu?

Besides, the other party still doesn't remember his background...

Just when Toru Amuro was feeling overwhelmed, the call was finally connected.

"Hey?"

A hoarse voice of a young man came from the other side.
