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

After hanging up the phone with Zhu Fu Jingguang, the system popped up again.

"Host, you just told him such important news? I only found out about it after much difficulty."

The system feels aggrieved.

Baichuan Qiu: "...I almost forgot about you."

Bai Chuanqiu stroked his brow, ultimately lacking the motivation to defeat the stupid system. "Doesn't this just prove that the information you brought is very useful to me? It worked at this critical moment! Keep working hard next time."

Although the small system did not get any useful clues this time, it may be able to get useful information next time.

When the system heard the host praise it like this for the first time, it immediately felt refreshed and full of fighting spirit. If it had materialized, it might have straightened its chest and raised its tail to the sky.

"Don't worry, host, I will definitely bring you more important news next time!"

The host only has it, and as the host's trump card, it must stand up!

Thinking of this, the system felt it had an important mission. It began to use its limited data brain to think about how to peek into other system scripts next time.

The system finally quieted down.

Baichuan Qiu raised his gaze and looked at the street across the street from the window, with a dark flash in his eyes.

In this case, it's time to deal with the upcoming troubles...

-

Across the street from the Poirot Café, in a parked jeep, Ryozo Tsuneta answered the phone.

"Hello? I know. I've been keeping an eye on this guy lately and have a plan ready."

"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you."

"Yeah, I know. Thank you, thank you. I will definitely seize this opportunity..."

After hanging up the phone, Ryozo Tokita put out the cigarette between his fingers and stared greedily at the coffee shop across the street with a cold expression.

"Don't blame me... If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for offending an important person—"

The next day.

It's another peaceful afternoon tea time.

There weren't many people in the Poirot Café today. Customers were sitting scattered around, drinking coffee quietly and enjoying the peaceful afternoon.

Amuro Toru picked up the tray, turned around and said to Enomoto Azusa, "Xiao Azusa, I'll leave this to you. I'll go upstairs and serve the food to Mr. Mori."

Azusa Enomoto was wiping the bar as usual. When he heard Amuro Toru's words, he nodded casually: "No problem."

Toru Amuro carried the tray upstairs, while Azusa Enomoto hummed a cheerful tune while reaching out to turn on the faucet.

"Bam—"

The faucet made a muffled sound, and then the water exploded suddenly as if it was filled with air bombs, splashing onto Azusa Enomoto's body.

"what--"

Azusa Enomoto was startled by the noise and took a step back hastily. Then she saw that the faucet was no longer flowing and there was a sharp sound of air being sucked out of the pipe.

"Gulu, Gulu..."

Bai Chuanqiu, who heard the noise, came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Azusa Enomoto covered her still pounding heart and explained fearfully, "Nothing happened. It just seemed like the water supply was cut off, which scared me."

Shirakawa Akane checked the faucet and turned off the one that kept making strange noises. He turned around and said to Enomoto Azusa, "The water has been cut off too often recently. There must be something wrong with the pipes back there. I'll go take a look."

Azusa Enomoto nodded and took off her wet apron. "Okay, is there anything I can do for you?"

Baichuan Qiu thought for a moment and said nonchalantly, "Xiao Zi, why don't you go upstairs too? Mr. Mao Li borrowed a wrench a few days ago and never returned it. I guess he forgot about it."

Azusa Enomoto: “Okay.”

So the two of them acted separately, Azusa Enomoto went upstairs to find Kogoro Mori, and Shirakawa Akira went to the kitchen, opened the door, and came to the alley behind the cafe.

This alley is mainly filled with sundries and external fans from various shops. Usually, apart from some small cars coming in and out, basically no one comes here.

And because it is surrounded by buildings, this alley is particularly damp and dark, and there is an unpleasant smell from time to time.

Baichuan Qiu walked out of the back door, stood on the steps, looked up at the water pipe next to him that was constantly flowing out, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

No wonder there was no water in the cafe, it turned out that the water pipe burst.

The water continued to flow down and flow into the drainage ditch next to it. Unfortunately, because the water flow was too large and the flow rate was too fast, the drainage ditch could not handle so much water. So a large amount of water accumulated on the ground and slowly extended outward, forming a large wet pool of water.

Baichuan Qiu stood on the steps, looking down at the puddle of water, motionless, with no intention of rushing over to turn off the water valve. It seemed that he was particularly disgusted with the puddle.

The system was puzzled: "Host?"

Bai Chuanqiu raised his eyelids, a little disgusted: "What a clumsy method, so clumsy that I can't pretend not to know."

Otherwise he felt that others would doubt his intelligence.

System: "Huh?"

It looked at the puddle of water in a daze, not knowing what was happening. "Is that guy planning to take action? But I don't see any problem."

Baichuan Qiu: "If you see it, I think I will die."

System: “…嘤~”

Baichuan Qiu stood at the door, staring at the water pipe over there, until he heard hurried footsteps faintly behind him.

Amuro Toru: "The water is out again? It seems that the Mori Detective Agency has been encountering this situation frequently recently."

Azusa Enomoto's voice came from a distance: "But there's nothing next door! There must be something wrong with the water pipes in our building..."

The white-haired young man's eyes flashed slightly, and there was a cold chill in his golden eyes. He took the initiative to walk down the stairs and stepped into the accumulated water.

Suddenly, a tingling electric current rushed through his body, and his muscles suddenly contracted. The young man's body involuntarily stiffened in mid-air, and then suddenly fell into the water.

Because of his movements and the direction he went down the stairs, after he fell, the young man's entire head was soaked by the rushing water pipe. The non-stop water directly took away his ability to breathe.

system:"!!!"

Suddenly, the system alarm went to the highest level——

"Ding! Danger!"

The system issued a sharp explosion sound: "Host, get up quickly, get up quickly!"

However, the stiffness that took away the ability to move still remained in his body. Even though the young man tried to move his hands to escape from this dangerous environment, he could not resist the terrifying feeling of death from his breathing being stagnant.

He was like a wooden man cast with a spell, lying stiffly in the accumulated water, the endless torrent of water continuously washing over his face, mercilessly rushing into his trachea, making it impossible for him to breathe or even open his mouth to call for help.

Almost immediately, Baichuan Qiu felt his consciousness becoming blurred.

The system was spinning in panic: "Host! Don't you know the danger? Why are you still moving? Ah! Hold on! Host! Move again, even just for a moment!"

Bai Chuanqiu tried to comfort it in his mind: "It's okay, don't worry."

The system jumped up and down: "Woo woo woo, hold on! They are coming! Woo woo, you are my first host, woo woo, what will I do if you die! Woo woo, we still have ambitious goals to achieve! You are the future Xiao Hei boss, you can't let this Xiao Hei kill you, woo woo——"

"That's too embarrassing! Wuwu——"

Baichuan Qiu: "..."

If he hadn't been unable to breathe, Baichuan Qiu really wanted to let out another long sigh.

Idiot.

Didn’t he say...

Don't worry about the crude technique.

Baichuan Qiu was thinking in a daze, and his consciousness slowly faded away.
