After a while, Inspector Megure asked Qi Ming:

"By the way, Brother Qi Ming, do you have a place to stay? If not, my place is fine..."

"No need, I'll stay here."

Qi Ming smiled and pointed to the Western-style mansion behind him.

Inspector Megure looked somewhat helplessly at the dilapidated villa in the direction Qi Ming was pointing.

"Not Brother Qi Ming, you... eh?"

However, upon seeing it, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Ai Haibara also looked over, her eyes widening involuntarily.

The mansion, which was just a moment ago in ruins, is now brand new, with no trace of fire or explosion.

The once scorched and desolate grassland nearby has been restored to life, its lush green swaying in the breeze.

what happened?

I didn't blink either.

"Tsk, the repairs are really expensive. We'll have to get that money back from those arsonists sooner or later."

Qi Ming muttered to himself, then, noticing the two men looking at him, asked curiously:

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing."

"In that case, I'll have to trouble Inspector Megure and you guys, Kano."

Qi Ming led Ai Haibara through the iron gate, leaving only a bewildered Inspector Megure standing outside.

And there's an open-air cafe not far away.

The man in the suit put down his binoculars, took out his phone, and made a call to someone.

“Mr. Furuya, it may be hard to believe, but Madeira is back.”

……

Two days after the cocoon incident.

Or rather, it was the time when Qi Ming and the others were playing at the farmhouse castle.

Police Department, Public Security Bureau.

Amuro Tooru stood in a single office with a gloomy expression.

Although it was daytime, the lights in the room were not on.

Even the curtains were tightly drawn.

It is quite low-carbon and environmentally friendly.

The office owner sat in his chair, his single eye staring blankly at Amuro Tooru.

Kuroda Bei, Amuro Tohru's immediate superior.

“I’ve taken care of everything after that, but you understand, everyone remembers your face.”

Amuro Tooru clenched his fists and remained silent.

He had heard about the live broadcast from Kazami Yuya after he left that day.

His true identity was revealed to everyone, and even his indirect involvement in the murder by stealing the sticker was exposed.

Now his connections with the organization have been severed, and he can't even easily show his face outside.

Kuroda Hyoue stared intently at Amuro Tooru for a long while before slowly speaking.

"Our solution for you is simple: change your identity, go abroad to spend the rest of your life, and never come back. We will also falsely claim at the upcoming press conference that you have been detained and are awaiting trial. What do you think?"

Amuro Tooru took a deep breath, but remained silent.

Although he knew that he was doing this to protect himself and to maintain the image of the public security police in the eyes of the public.

But if I just leave like this...

Amuro Tooru simply couldn't swallow this insult.

"Ah."

Kuroda Hyoue chuckled softly.

He knew Amuro Tooru's personality and naturally knew that the other party wouldn't give up so easily.

After a moment of silence, Kuroda Hyōe spoke again:

"However, there is another way... If I ask you to let go of your past obsessions now, can you do it?"

"Or rather, I want you to shake hands and make peace with your so-called enemies. Can you do that?"

Kuroda Hyoue tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"If you can do that, you can ignore the results of the investigation. Although we will still remove your police officer status, you will still have all the rights you are entitled to, and even more."

"Your mission remains the same: to get closer to that organization, but the objective will be much clearer."

A hint of surprise flashed in Amuro Tooru's eyes.

Let go of past obsessions? Enemies?

Although he didn't quite understand what Kuroda Hyōe meant, Amuro Tooru nodded after a slight hesitation.

He was willing to accept anything as long as there was a way to get close to that organization.

All the blood shed on this road cannot be wasted.

Having received Amuro Tooru's affirmation, Kuroda Hyōe leaned back in his chair and called out in a deep voice towards the door.

"Come in."

He then looked at Amuro Tooru.

"Your first task now is to stay calm."

keep Calm?

Amuro Tooru frowned slightly as he looked towards the door.

Is some important person going to come in later?

The door opened, and Amuro Tooru looked at the group of people who walked in with a startled expression.

Two women and three men.

They all look like foreigners.

He didn't know one of the men and women very well, but he was quite familiar with the other two.

The woman was a former member of the organization, Kir Mizunashi Rena, or perhaps Hondo Emi.

The other man was also a former member of the organization.
