People in Detective Conan are going crazy over the comments section.

drop by drop...

In the coffee shop, Asakawa Yu was sitting at the counter fiddling with his phone, looking as if he was sending a text message to someone.

"Kyogoku has already gone abroad..."

That's right, the person texting Asakawa Yu just now was Kyogoku Makoto, who had just finished sparring with Asakawa Yu not long ago.

After that competition came to an end, Asakawa Yu and Ran took the same train back to Tokyo, while Kyogoku Makoto went abroad to study as planned.

"Boss, you just mentioned going abroad, right? It's about Kyogoku, isn't it?"

Miyano Akemi, who happened to be resting at the front desk after coming from the kitchen, saw Asakawa Yu talking to himself and asked him a question.

"Yes, he really acted quickly. But then again, for him, there's probably no one in the entire island nation who can rival him, so it's only natural that he would choose to go abroad."

"I see. But it's a bit of a pity for Sonoko, since they only recently started dating."

Yes, when the others returned from Izu, Sonoko Suzuki did not choose to come back with them. Instead, she stayed in Izu to continue deepening her relationship with Makoto Kyogoku, and naturally, the two began dating.

"Hehe, that's not something we should be concerned about," Asakawa Yu said casually, stretching.

"Sigh... if you ask me, boss... never mind, by the way, boss, tomorrow's the weekend, do you have any plans?"

Seeing Asakawa Yu's indifferent expression, Miyano Akemi felt somewhat helpless. She was about to say something, but in the end, she could only sigh. Then she asked a question in return.

"Well... I don't really have any plans. If I had to say, I'd say I'm going for a morning run tomorrow," Asakawa Yu replied after thinking for a moment.

"Morning run? I didn't expect someone like you, boss, would actually think about getting up early for a morning run." Miyano Akemi said with some emotion. After all, others might not know, but as someone who lived under the same roof as Asakawa Yu, she knew Asakawa Yu's character best.

When he has nothing to do, Asakawa Yu is the kind of person who would rather sit than stand, and rather lie down than sit. So, Miyano Akemi was naturally surprised that he was thinking of going for a long run on the weekend.

"Don't think of me as so bad, okay? I also have times when I want to exercise, okay?" "Then I'll go running with you tomorrow, boss," Miyano Akemi said with a smile.

"Hmm? Why do you suddenly want to go for a run too?" Asakawa Yu asked curiously.

"Hehe, I also want to exercise, and running alone is so boring. Wouldn't it be better to run with someone?" Miyano Akemi explained.

"Alright, let's go together then. But you should be prepared, I won't wait for you if you can't keep up," Asakawa Yu kindly reminded him.

"Don't worry, don't worry," Akemi Miyano replied confidently.

"Hehe, if you think it's okay, then I have no objection."

--------------------------

The next day, a golden sun shone brightly against the blue sky, and a white cloud drifted across the clear sky like a lone sail on a blue sea.

Asakawa Yu and Miyano Akemi jogged slowly along the path in Beika Park, their steady breathing maintaining a consistent rhythm. This was the last leg of their journey for the day.

"Boss, look, isn't that Inspector Megure up ahead?" Miyano Akemi said, pointing to a chubby man in a tracksuit and a red hat.

"Well, it really is him. Since we've run into him, let's go up and say hello."

"Okay."

After saying that, Asakawa Yu led Miyano Akemi to speed up, and soon caught up with Inspector Megure ahead.

"Good morning, Inspector Megure. You're here for a morning run too?"

Upon arriving at Inspector Megure's side, Asakawa Yu was the first to greet him.

"Oh! It's you, Asakawa-kun. Good morning, and Miss Tangze too."

"Good morning, Inspector Megure," Akemi Miyano greeted with a smile.

"I didn't expect Inspector Megure to be running here too. You really can't judge a book by its cover." Asakawa Yu raised an eyebrow.

"Haha, don't say that about me, Asakawa. Actually, it's because I seem to have gained a little weight recently, so my wife called me out for a run."

"I see. It seems your wife really cares about you, Inspector Megure. You two must be very much in love."

Upon hearing that it was Inspector Megure's wife giving the order, Akemi Miyano chuckled and teased.

"Haha, no, no, let's not talk about me. You two have a good relationship too. I heard you two are already living together, right? I have to say, youth is great."

"No...we're not actually in that kind of relationship..."

"Fine, let's leave it at that." Knowing that no matter how they explained, Inspector Megure wouldn't listen, Asakawa Yu and the others gave up struggling. But in Inspector Megure's eyes, this seemed like an admission of their relationship.

As the three of them chatted and ran steadily forward, Asakawa Yu suddenly sensed something was wrong!

This feeling... is like someone is watching us.

Wait! No, that's not right! Those bushes over there!

"Inspector Megure! Stop right now!" Asakawa Yu shouted urgently.

But it was too late. The instant Inspector Megure heard Asakawa Yu's warning, an arrow flew towards him like a rocket!

Oh no! It's too late!

"what!!!"

A scream reached Asakawa Yu and Miyano Akemi's ears. Without thinking twice, Miyano Akemi quickly knelt down to check Inspector Megure's injuries, while Asakawa Yu chased after the culprit.

"Hang in there, Inspector Megure, I've already called an ambulance."

"Beside Inspector Megure," Akemi Miyano said worriedly.

A short while later, Asakawa Yu also returned.

"How's it going, boss? Have you caught the culprit?" Miyano Akemi asked hurriedly when Asakawa Yu returned.

"No, that guy got away. How is Inspector Megure?"

There was nothing that could be done; the murderer was like an eel, impossible for Asakawa Yu to catch up with no matter how hard he tried, and he couldn't even see the face clearly.

"I've already called an ambulance, it should be here soon."

"Okay, hang in there a little longer, Inspector Megure, the ambulance will be here soon."

"I really have to trouble you this time, Asakawa-kun." Inspector Megure said to Asakawa Yu, and hearing the discomfort in his voice, Asakawa Yu felt somewhat helpless.

"Let's not talk about that, Inspector Megure. You should rest now, or your wound might reopen."

After saying that, Asakawa Yu looked in the direction of the murderer and stared at that spot for a long time...
