Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

……

Nearly two hours later.

Amuro Tooru wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a deep breath.

Looking at the suitcase on the ground, he felt lost.

Is Qi Ming out of his mind?

Who stores important documents using a nested doll method?

During this time, Amuro Tooru opened the safe.

Then there was another medium-sized safe inside the safe.

Then Amuro Tooru laboriously opened the second safe—

Inside was a small safe.

After repeating the action four or five times, the contents of the safe finally changed.

It is a suitcase.

"What is it that you're going to such lengths to hide?"

Amuro Tooru muttered to himself as he quickly unlocked the combination lock on his suitcase.

Then he slowly unzipped the suitcase.

However, when the contents inside were revealed to him, Amuro Tooru's heart skipped a beat.

It contains a person.

His appearance was none other than Qi Ming!

"Why, how could this happen?"

"Qi Ming is dead?"

Amuro Tooru felt his mind was in complete chaos. Suppressing his shock, he carefully removed the body.

There are no obvious external injuries on the surface. Could it be poisoning?

But they clearly contacted Qi Ming outside just now, so Qi Ming should still be alive!

Suddenly, Amuro Tooru felt a chill run down his spine.

Who is this person?

Or who is the person answering the phone outside?

With his mind in complete turmoil, Amuro Tooru was momentarily lost in thought before regaining his composure.

After taking several photos of the body, they took out a syringe and drew a vial of blood from it.

"Kazemi, call Madeira again, and you can come up with a reason."

After doing all this, Amuro Tooru called Kazami Yuya again.

Soon, a reply came through the earpiece.

“Mr. Furuya, the call to Madeira… didn’t go through.”

"..."

Amuro Tooru's face was gloomy and he did not reply.

He glanced at Qi Ming's corpse again.

It may sound unbelievable, but given the current situation—

The real Qi Ming had already been killed, and his body was right in front of them.

The person who answered the phone was actually someone else in disguise.

But Qi Ming just died like that?

impossible?

After all, I had personally witnessed that guy fake his death in that game.

While it might be foolish to use the same move twice, is it possible...?

No, the more crucial question is, why would he fake his own death in reality?

Amuro Tooru couldn't figure out Qi Ming's thoughts, so after hesitating for a while, he dialed Kuroda Hyōe's number.

“I found his body at his home in Madeira, at 4-24 Beika-cho.”

"...Received, your companions have arrived as well."

"..."

Amuro Tooru tightened his grip on the phone.

companion?

Who are those guys' buddies?

……

After a while, two more people appeared in the mansion.

Shuichi Akai and Rena Mizunashi.

Even though they already knew that Qi Ming's body had been found in the house.

But they are, after all, the elite of the elite.

I still wore gloves and shoe covers properly to prevent leaving footprints and fingerprints.

Then, under Amuro Tooru's gloomy gaze, the two of them went about their business and searched the room again.

“I’ve already checked, there’s nothing strange about it.”

Upon hearing Amuro Tooru's voice, Akai Shuichi simply smiled and replied:

"Check it again, just in case."

"..."

Shuichi Akai of the ditch, the FBI of the ditch.

So what, you think my investigation had some oversights?

Why don't you just die?

……

Half an hour later, Amuro Tooru looked at the two people who came out of the last room with a gloomy expression and snorted coldly.

"So, FBI and CIA, what have you found this time?"

"He just enjoys doing these useless things. We should take this body back for investigation."

Shuichi Akai smiled helplessly and followed Tooru Amuro to the room where Qi Ming's body was located.

However, at this moment, Rena Mizunashi suddenly asked Tooru Amuro with a puzzled look:

"Bourbon, no, Amuro Tooru, did you leave the tap running when you went into the second-floor bathroom just now?"

Amuro Tooru was stunned.

"No, no, is the tap running?"

Shuichi Akai then put the body back into his suitcase and said seriously:

"We actually heard the sound of water when we came in, but we thought you were doing it on purpose because of your expression."

Amuro Tooru frowned, but his expression became serious.

Why would you turn on the tap for no reason?

And how stupid is Shuichi Akai to think he did it on purpose?

Damn idiot!

I have to turn it off again!

Amuro Tooru guessed that the faucet might have been turned on when he opened the safe.

I guess my ears got used to it, so I didn't notice it.

Amuro Tooru left the room and went to the second-floor bathroom.

Amuro Tooru frowned as he looked at the pool of dirty water in the sink.

"The water that's flowing out is murky...it feels a bit strange."

With that, Amuro Tooru turned off the tap.

……

Returning to the locked room, Amuro Tooru carried his suitcase out and led Rena Mizunashi and Shuichi Akai back to the lobby.

Just as they were about to open the door and leave.

But a crisp sound of a lock clicking shut came from the door.

The three of them were taken aback.

Before he could speak, the lights in the entire room went out instantly.

It was already getting late.

All the lights went out, and everyone's vision was instantly plunged into darkness.

A sense of crisis suddenly arose in the hearts of the three, and they immediately retreated to the center of the hall.

They leaned back to back, pulled out their pistols, and held them to their chests, surveying the surroundings.

Their vision was not yet familiar with the darkness.

Although all three of them actually carried a small flashlight in their pockets, given the current situation...

Whoever turns on the light is an idiot.

Isn't this blatantly telling the person in the room that they are here?

呲味——

A voice suddenly rang out from the darkness.

The three of them, with perfect coordination, turned their guns around and aimed them at a room on the second floor.

It sounded like something was moving on the ground.

Rena Mizunashi couldn't resist picking up a flashlight and shining it upwards.

The flashlight turned on, but strangely, it kept flashing.

"what the hell!"

Rena Mizunashi cursed under her breath and irritably swung the flashlight.

"Birth...the signal...is not quite right..."

"Camera...buzzing..."

The voice of Kazami Yuya came through Amuro Tooru's earphones.

However, just like network latency and poor radio reception.

The sound Amuro Tooru heard was intermittent, and he couldn't make out what he was saying at all.

When only a series of piercing static remained, Amuro Tooru took off his headphones with a gloomy face.

呲味——

The sound came again, this time from the stairs.

As the voice drew closer, everyone finally saw what the newcomer looked like.

At first glance, the three of them felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

That doesn't seem to be a person.

It lay on the ground, its body flashing, its head rotating horizontally, and its arms were frighteningly long.

"What is this?"
