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

Shiho Miyano has been feeling uneasy lately for some reason.

Especially after leaving my sister's place last time, a shadow inexplicably lingered in my heart.

She looked at the computer screen, which displayed Shinichi Kudo's name, with the status bar showing "unknown".

The organization's goal is to conduct a secondary investigation even if the body has not been clearly found, and Shinichi Kudo is a prime example of this.

According to Gin, Madeira poisoned him with a drug she had developed, but after administering the drug, the group left without fully confirming whether Shinichi Kudo was dead.

Moreover, Shinichi Kudo was quite a celebrity in Japan, so it's really strange that there wasn't even any news coverage of his death.

Just a few days ago, Gin gave Shiho Miyano a task: to investigate whether Shinichi Kudo had returned home and was not dead.

The results showed that there were no signs of anyone living in Shinichi Kudo's house for a long time. The only strange thing was that Shinichi Kudo's childhood clothes had mysteriously disappeared from his closet.

Shiho Miyano recalled that not long ago she had tested the drug on a white mouse, and she had personally witnessed the mouse's body shrink.

She had a strange feeling that something wonderful had happened to Shinichi Kudo as well.

"Wasn't Shinichi Kudo dead? Why is his situation still described as unclear?"

A voice came from behind, along with a bag of blueberry jam sandwiches.

Shiho Miyano habitually took the sandwich, tore open the packaging, took a small bite, and shook her head.

"Perhaps, I'm not entirely sure either, but I do have some doubts now?"

Seemingly sensing something was amiss, Shiho Miyano turned her head sharply, only to see Qi Ming looking at the document on the screen with great interest.

"when did you come?"

"It's been a while, but you're really focused, little sister. You've been staring at the screen for ages without turning your head."

Qi Ming pulled over a chair and sat down, then pointed to the computer screen.

"This guy is definitely dead. Do you think I don't know how he died? I remember it very clearly, he was clearly killed by me... cough cough!"

Qi Ming suddenly coughed twice, and his tone immediately changed: "I saw it with my own eyes, Gin used poison to kill someone!"

"His methods were extremely cruel. I tried desperately to stop him, but he wouldn't listen!"

Shiho Miyano squinted.

What nonsense is this person spouting?

Miyano Shiho, the chief editor, lightly pressed the right mouse button on the keyboard a few times, and the incomplete content of the document was displayed.

[Name: Shinichi Kudo; Status: Unknown; Person in Charge: Madeira; Reporter: Gin]

Qi Ming's lips twitched when he saw Gin, the person who reported the incident.

This gin is acting up every day. Does this stuff even need to be reported?

Qi Ming now understands, whether it was what Vermouth said last time that Old Qin often talked about him.

I should show my murder record to Shiho Miyano now.

It's all to prevent workplace romances within the organization!

I've done so many things before and never reported them, how come you remember them so clearly this time? Are you sick?

Qi Ming was unaware that Gin had handled all the previous files for him afterwards...

"So why are you trying to pin the blame on Gin?"

Upon hearing Shiho Miyano's question, Qi Ming replied directly, "Isn't it because you hate killing? And considering I still need to increase my intimacy with you, I definitely have to avoid this kind of thing."

"But come to think of it, if this detective kid hadn't been spying, nothing would have happened! He's like a horror movie protagonist, always so curious for no reason!"

Shiho Miyano turned her head away, her ear tips slightly red.

"What intimacy level? Who's intimate with you?!"

However, the thought that Qi Ming had told these lies because of her made Shiho Miyano feel a little warmth in her heart.

"Alright, this doesn't count as you killing anyone, can it be mine? After all, you used the medicine I developed."

"Alright, then you're the one who killed him."

"..."

Shiho Miyano rolled her eyes at Qi Ming, and after a moment of silence, she glanced elsewhere and asked softly:

"Then why did you come here to see me? I didn't ask you to come."

"Huh? Who said I came here to see you? I came to pick up a mission and I'll be leaving right away."

Qi Ming tilted his head and asked in confusion.

Without waiting for Shiho Miyano's response, he got up from his chair and walked away.

Shiho Miyano stared blankly at Qi Ming's departing figure. After a while, her face hardened, and she stomped her high heels hard on the floor.

呲——

A dull thud was heard; the heel of the high heel broke.

At the same time, loud laughter could be heard from outside the passageway.

"Hahaha, what are you doing? What, trying to kill someone with high heels, testing the hardness of high heels?"

Qi Ming returned from outside the corridor and, seeing Shiho Miyano's adorable actions, immediately had the system take a screenshot.

"What are you doing back here? Weren't you supposed to be on a mission?"

Shiho Miyano forced herself to remain calm, crossed her arms, and said coldly.

Arrogant! Look at this classic arrogant statement.

Qi Ming put on a motherly smile and returned to his seat. "Alright, alright, sis, I was just kidding. I don't have any tasks."

"Didn't you call and say you were lonely and feeling cold? That's why I came over here."

Shiho Miyano's face flushed red instantly, and even when she denied it, her voice involuntarily rose.

"Who, who's lonely and feeling cold? Didn't you understand that I dialed the wrong number?"

System, please take another screenshot.

[Screenshot taken; the host can view it in their phone's photo album]

"Alright, alright, I was just feeling lonely and wanted to come find you, okay?"

Qi Ming didn't want to tease Shiho Miyano any longer, so he took the blame back.

Qi Ming did not intend to tell Miyano Shiho about Miyano Akemi, even though she was her sister.

This intelligence can only be obtained by Qi Ming alone.

Once other relevant personnel learn that Akemi Miyano is still alive, the outcome of this mission will definitely deviate from his intended course.

We cannot reveal that Akemi Miyano is still alive.

This is how the current side quest works.

However, when Shiho Miyano learns of the false news that Akemi Miyano is dead, although she will no longer follow the suicide route of the first ending, she will still be very sad for a while.

Qi Ming pondered for a moment, then said to Shiho Miyano, "I'll take you out for some fun tomorrow. Want to come? Just the two of us?"

"Play? What kind of play?"

Qi Ming leaned slightly closer to Shiho Miyano, "Hehe, we're all adults now, what do you suggest we play?"

A blush crept across Shiho Miyano's face. "You pervert, who wants to go with you..."

"Let's go to the amusement park."

"Huh? An amusement park?"

Shiho Miyano paused for a moment, then squinted and said, "How old are you to still go to an amusement park? How childish."

"Hey, I already told you we're adults. Do you really think it's as simple as an all-ages amusement park?"

Shiho Miyano frowned. An amusement park for adults? She had never heard of such a thing before.

Nightclub? Or some kind of foot massage or spa?

"Alright, Bao Bao, just tell me if you're going or not."

"Who should we call baby?"

Seeing that Qi Ming had gone to such lengths, Shiho Miyano also became interested and crossed her arms.

"Fine, let's go. But what about Gin?"

Qi Ming smiled.

"Just like before, I'll act first and ask questions later. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

"And ladies, wear your best clothes, otherwise I'm afraid you'll embarrass me."

Shiho Miyano glared at Qi Ming with a hint of annoyance.

"I hope this gentleman can dress better, unlike when we first met in the restroom, wearing a pink t-shirt, beach shorts, flip-flops, and a coat. He looked like a complete pervert."

"...Hey!"

Shiho Miyano rolled her eyes at Qi Ming again, then looked at the computer screen and changed Shinichi Kudo's status to "Death".
