Transmigrated into Conan, his ability is Rhodes Island
Chapter 12 Party: Ronin Nagano Kumei
After speaking, without waiting for any further reaction from the other person, Akihara Kazuhiro returned to his seat. Before pulling the blanket back up, he saw the woman staring at him, and she, too, lowered her voice. "Who exactly are you?"
Red scarves, living Lei Feng. Qiu Yuan covered himself with the blanket and closed his eyes.
……
Akihara Kazumitsu is a light sleeper, often startled awake by the slightest noise around his room in the middle of the night. Back when he was still at Rhodes Island, the medical department developed a special drug to calm his nerves and improve his brain function, allowing him to have a baby-like sleep the night before so they could continue to exploit him the next day.
He could be startled awake by a book falling to the floor in the next room, let alone now—a cold wind howled into the waiting room again, and several people, except for Akihara, opened their eyes. From his vantage point, he could only see the back of the councilor's secretary disappear behind the door and into the night.
A few low curses rang out from the crowd, and most people adjusted their positions and fell asleep again.
Akihara Kazumitsu sighed inwardly; good words were useless against this damned devil. In any case, the usual screams would probably start soon enough, and if he went back to sleep now, he'd likely be woken up before he even fell asleep.
He tried calling out to the system a few times, but no one answered. He recalled that the system he had asked earlier wasn't with him 24/7.
The night is long, and I feel lonely and cold all by myself. Hey, are you there? Come out and chat with me for a bit.
After a long pause, a voice echoed in his mind: "What is it?"
"Find me a book to read." He leaned back in his chair, a slight smile playing on his lips.
The voice disappeared for a moment, maybe ten seconds or so, then reappeared. "Here you go."
Let me see what book it is... "A Survey of Nature and Culture in Nagano Prefecture"... Is this book an original work from the Conan universe, or was it written by some higher-dimensional beings?
"Neither." The voice on the other end remained calm and indifferent. "You wrote this book."
Akihara Kazumitsu glanced at the book cover; the author's name was "Doctor".
……
"Ah!!!" The scream came late, but it did not surprise Akihara Kazuhiro at all. The only difference from usual was that this time the one who screamed was a man.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" the system finally arrived.
"We'll find out when we go take a look." Qiu Yuan stood up and went out with the people who had been woken up to check, not forgetting to pick up his umbrella as he left.
The secretary lay in the muddy, rainy ground, her face filled with terror, her mouth agape, a knife protruding from her chest, blood mingling with the rainwater and flowing everywhere.
A man slumped down next to her; he was one of the group of travelers who were busy playing cards. He stammered, "I... I needed to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and I didn't see where I was going and tripped... I never expected this!"
Although his friends were all pale-faced and showed the fear that a normal person would have, they still went over to comfort the male passenger and helped him up from the ground.
"Call the police and an ambulance!" someone in the crowd suggested.
Akihara Kazumitsu took a closer look, shook his head, and felt that there was no need to try to save him.
“No need to call an ambulance,” he said.
"Are you a doctor?" a voice of doubt came from the crowd. It seemed that his attire gave others the first impression that he was unreliable.
"I'm very sorry," the station manager said worriedly. "The station clerk just tried to call the police, but it was probably due to the weather, and she couldn't get through no matter what she tried."
Although mobile phone penetration isn't high these days, at least two out of ten people have one. Immediately, other travelers around took out their phones to check. "Ah, it really is, there's no signal."
It's understandable that mobile phones have no signal, but how come even landlines can't make calls? Just a few hours ago, he had spoken with Professor Hirota using a landline here.
Qiu Yuan glanced at the stationmaster with some suspicion, then casually took out his phone and pretended to look at it seriously, already having a vague guess in his mind.
"Although we are very sorry, please stay here until we can contact the police tomorrow. We will provide you with free water and food."
As soon as he finished speaking, discontented voices began to rise again.
Just then, Qiu Yuan caught a glimpse of the gloomy man in the corner who had arrived last. Taking advantage of everyone's attention being focused on the corpse, he grabbed an umbrella from the umbrella stand and quietly tried to slip away.
"Uncle, where are you going?" Akihara asked with his usual smile. "If you just sneak away like this, you'll be seen as a fugitive from justice."
The noisy crowd immediately fell silent after Qiu Yuan finished speaking, and they all turned around to stare at the man who was trying to slip away. The man was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"You...you're making baseless accusations! So quick to point fingers, I think you're the murderer!" The man was somewhat panicked, but quickly regained his composure. "Yes, yes, I remember now, before I went to sleep I saw you talking to that dead woman. That makes you the most suspicious!"
Everyone turned to look at Akihara again.
Akihara calmly waved his phone at the crowd. "We'll find out who the real culprit is when the police arrive."
"Didn't you just say there was no signal?"
"Yeah, I'm wondering too, but my phone has a signal." As he spoke, Qiu Yuan looked down and dialed 110. After a short while, the other end answered.
"Hello, my name is Akihara Kazumitsu, I want to report a crime."
The man at the door panicked, gritted his teeth, and turned to run into the pouring rain. Before Qiu Yuan could react, the young passengers rushed up and pinned him to the ground.
Akihara had already described the general situation. "Okay, okay, thank you, goodbye." After hanging up the phone, he looked up at everyone. "The police said they'll be there in ten minutes."
The stationmaster hesitated, glancing at Qiuyuan, then at the man pinned to the ground, before finally nodding and saying to the crowd, "Everyone, please come in."
The young passengers escorted the man back to the waiting hall, borrowed a rope from the stationmaster, and tied him to a load-bearing pillar in the waiting hall. Qiuyuan enthusiastically gave instructions on how to tie the man up so he couldn't escape.
The man struggled for a few moments, but seeing little effect, he finally leaned against the pillar in despair and lowered his head.
"Is he the murderer?" the system asked curiously.
Akihara shook his head. It shouldn't be him. But the fact that he rushed away as soon as he heard the police were coming suggests he's hiding something; he might be a wanted criminal.
"Ah, speaking of which," the system suddenly remembered. "Why does your phone have a signal?" The system had just seen through Qiu Yuan's eyes that his phone signal was full, and it was quite surprised.
Akihara retrieved Yazui Masahiko's memories about the origin of this phone; it was given to him by the organization when he first joined.
"So it's the organization's black technology..." The system understood. This unfathomable organization could even produce anti-aging drugs, so creating a signal-boosting phone seemed like a piece of cake.
……
Ten minutes later, the police arrived. Through the windows of the waiting room, a policeman holding a black umbrella could be seen getting out of the police car first.
It wasn't until he entered the hall that Akihara Kazumitsu could clearly see the man's appearance. The policeman was tall, with a mustache, wearing a dark blue suit, and had piercing, almond-shaped eyes and a cold, serious expression.
"Hiss." Akihara Kazumitsu gasped dramatically.
"What's wrong?" the system asked curiously.
“I think he could audition for the live-action version of ‘Party Rogue Zhuge Liang’.”
