Transmigrated into Conan, his ability is Rhodes Island

Akihara Kazumitsu was very unhappy.

As a former leader of a medical organization, he disliked the feeling of lives slipping through his fingers. He felt a natural sympathy for those who were also controlled by higher-dimensional beings and forced to follow their predetermined fates.

ACE, Socut, Outcast... Are they really going to die?

Qiu Yuan closed his eyes slightly, gathering his thoughts.

So he didn't mind taking advantage of these points generators. Just now, when he jokingly pressed the muzzle of his gun against Morofushi Kagemitsu's chest, he could clearly feel the other's heart beating strongly inside his chest.

Akihara Kazumitsu was momentarily stunned.

Yes, this is a living, breathing life, at least in his dimension. And just two or three years later, Morofushi Kagemitsu will end his own life in the same posture, pointing a gun at his own chest.

Therefore, when Morofushi Kagemitsu was not frightened by his actions and instead casually opened the gun barrel, he deliberately showed a regretful look and put the gun away.

At least the future can be changed. Although they are all pawns on a chessboard, since they have already looked to the future, before their predetermined fate arrives, they still have the opportunity to change the trajectory of their lives and pursue another possible future. Instead of that damned fatalism—that the future cannot be changed no matter what efforts are made. At least he inadvertently stumbled into the crime scene and saved Kenji Hagiwara, who was supposed to be killed in the explosion.

If you can save it, then do so. This fish cares, and this fish cares too...

He was thinking this when the system notification sounded, saying that Mr. Zhu Fu had received an advance warning thanks to the combined efforts of the Zhu Fu brothers and quickly left the scene.

Silence, long silence.

Akihara Kazumitsu: ...Go to hell! Let whoever wants to be this nice guy have it!

"Hahahaha, you're not a literary youth anymore? You're not sentimental anymore? You don't care about this fish anymore, and you care about that fish too?"

The system erupted in a thunderous laugh within Akihara Kazuhiro's mind.

Perhaps it was because the living expenses that were about to be received suddenly sprouted wings and flew away, or perhaps it was because of the heartache of losing the points that were about to be lost, but Akihara Kazuhiro, whose anger was at MAX, just glanced coldly at the system.

"Shut up. Take out the sniper rifle, and while you're at it, exchange for Operator Ambriel's abilities."

His icy gaze made the system involuntarily take a few steps back, before it replied sullenly, "I know... don't look at me like that."

With a sliver of reason remaining, Akihara Kazumitsu walked to the bedside, and as he touched the blankets, he retrieved a sniper rifle from his system space—if he could pull a sniper rifle out of thin air, he probably wouldn't be able to get any more points from Morofushi Kagemitsu in the future. Come on, he'd already seen someone conjure a sniper rifle from nothing; what could possibly surprise him now?

Ambriel activated his ability, and Akihara Kazuhiro assumed a shooting stance as if by muscle memory, expanding his attack range to the entire map. He pulled the trigger, the gun fired, and the shot hit.

"I'll earn back all the points I lost from Morofushi Kagemitsu, twice as much as I can," Akihara Kazumitsu thought expressionlessly.

He looked out the window. The bullet must have hit Kentaro Yamamoto through some kind of physics-defying motion. Although it wasn't confirmed on the spot, he figured it would be reported in the news soon. The finance department couldn't renege on its debts.

If you renege on your debt, I'll just throw away your red bean paste.

"Considering your cooking is better, here's a piece of advice: leave the organization right now, or you'll die," Akihara said casually to Morofushi Kagemitsu.

"Furthermore, after your death, the mission you were in charge of will be thoroughly investigated again, and Morofushi Takamitsu, who had dealings with you in this mission, will also be killed."

Morofushi Kagemitsu fell into a brief silence. "You still haven't answered who you really are."

"Akihara Kazumitsu, Su Dai, Doctor—call me whatever you like."

"...Will you report me to the organization?"

"You never know, so listen to me, it's not too late to back out now."

Akihara Kazumitsu's lips curled into a faint smile.

"Otherwise, I'm afraid that one day I won't be able to resist converting you into cash."

"Then can I take it that you are not my enemy for the time being?" Although he did not understand why Akihara Kazumitsu suddenly fired aimlessly out the window, he sensed that the other party's fierce killing intent had disappeared and asked tentatively.

"I wouldn't call you an enemy. I don't want you to die prematurely before I've squeezed every last drop of value out of you."

Morifu no Kagemitsu smiled. "Should I then praise your kindness?"

"Suit yourself, but don't forget the meals you owe me."

"..."

"And as payment for keeping this a secret for you for now, I'll take your wallet."

"..."

When the two went downstairs again, the "Three Kingdoms enthusiast murder case" had been perfectly resolved by Morofushi Takaaki.

They arrived just as the event was ending. After "Zhao Yun" solemnly declared, "'Kongming' has never truly resented you; he even wanted to reconcile with you at this seminar," "Sima Yi" wept, knelt twice, and repented three times, bringing the incident to a satisfactory conclusion.

Kazumitsu Akihara: ...So it turns out that not every case I encounter needs to be solved by myself?

As Akihara Kazumitsu passed by Morofushi Takaaki, he glanced at his expression. Presumably, he had already received news of Yamamoto Kentaro's death, so even though he rarely showed his emotions, his face was somewhat grave.

Morofushi Takaaki gave Akihara Kazumitsu a deep look, and Akihara Kazumitsu returned the look with a smile.

...If there were a favorability system, Morofushi Takaaki's original admiration would probably have turned into complete apprehension, and his favorability might even have turned into a negative score.

"Are you heading out now to go on tour?"

"Yes, the rest of our band members have been waiting at the livehouse for a long time and just messaged us to hurry up."

"I see. If I weren't tied up with official duties, I would definitely go and show my support."

Livehouse + Morofushi Takaaki, "Party Rogue Zhuge Kongming" is about to begin, right?

"Haha, then I thank Officer Morofushi on behalf of our band's guitarist, Rei Goto, and vocalist, Hideichi Kita."

……

On the train back to Shizuoka, the atmosphere between Morofushi Kagemitsu and Akihara Kazumitsu could even be described as harmonious.

Morofushi Kagemitsu never gave up trying to find out Akihara Kazumitsu's true identity and intentions. However, during their confrontation at the hotel, the other party had clearly lost interest in playing the truth game with him and was incredibly skilled at changing the subject. By the time they got out of the car, they had even started talking about suggesting that he buy a Huawei phone.

"……Why?"

"Because it's bulletproof."

After bidding a friendly farewell to Morofushi Kagemitsu, Akihara Kazumitsu's mood improved considerably, thinking about the money that would soon be coming in. He hummed a little tune as he tossed Morofushi Kagemitsu's wallet up and down.

"I'll find a chance to pay back the money that Kenji Hagiwara borrowed from me."

"...He stole someone's friend's wallet to pay him back. If Kenji Hagiwara knew the truth, he'd cry (ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻!"

"How can something between colleagues be considered robbery?"

While chatting with the system, Akihara Kazumitsu walked straight to the front of his apartment. He took out his key, inserted it into the lock, and turned it gently.

The door opened, and the person sitting inside heard the noise at the door and turned around.

Their eyes met.

Akihara slammed the door shut.

"Holy crap, Kita... no, Shuichi Akai is in my house." Akihara muttered to himself, his eyes glazed over.

He calmed himself down, muttering to himself, "I must have opened it wrong," and reopened the door.

However, the person inside the house did not disappear as he wished. Shuichi Akai stood up and walked towards him.

"Why...why are you here?" Akihara Kazumitsu asked in shock.

Shuichi Akai looked at Akihara and raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't you invite me to stay at your place for a while?"
