Conan: No, why aren't you following the script?

Dusk fell in the blink of an eye.

In the end, Inspector Megure still hadn't found any clues and could only lead everyone back to the Metropolitan Police Department with a disappointed expression.

Although the three designers are highly suspicious, there is currently no crucial evidence to convict them, so Inspector Megure has no choice but to let them go for the time being after taking their statements.

However, before leaving, he asked them to keep their phones on, as the Metropolitan Police Department would contact them at any time within the next seven days.

The three designers naturally had no objection to this.

Their demon boss has now gone to the other world. Although they have lost their jobs and have no income for the time being, at least they don't have to worry about having no time for themselves like before.

Among them, the young Xia Hori Yong was the most open-minded. Perhaps it was because he was at the peak of his career that Xia Hori Yong did not need to worry about the risk of unemployment. As long as he had the ability, he could go to work for a better studio at any time.

Therefore, after Inspector Megure and the others left, it was he, the youngest of the group, who took on the task of comforting the other two, making him, who still looked somewhat immature, appear quite mature for a moment.

"Imai-senpai, Zaitsu-senpai, don't be discouraged, everything will be alright. How about this, what would you like to eat? I'll treat you tonight. You two should try to cheer up, okay?"

“Natsubori, you rascal…” Zaitsu Ukihiko chuckled bitterly, then sighed helplessly, “You’re still young and can’t understand our difficulties. Imai and I are already this old. If we can’t work in the president’s office… never mind, you probably wouldn’t understand anyway. I won’t trouble you tonight. Let’s just have some peace and quiet.”

"Well... alright then, but please be sure to contact me if you need anything, seniors."

Just as Zaitsu Ukihiko said, 35-year-old Natsubori Isamu couldn't empathize with them. At his age, with elderly parents and young children to support, no one probably knew better than him what unemployment meant.

After sighing, Zaitsu Ukihiko took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, held it in his hand, and then walked towards the door of the office.

Upon seeing this, Xia Guiyong quickly asked, "Senior, where are you going?"

"I'm going out for a walk to clear my head. You guys should head back early too. Honestly, the club president is dead. This is probably the last time we'll see each other. Sigh..."

After saying that, amidst a series of sighs, Zaitsu Ukihiko's unusually lonely figure quickly disappeared into the sunset.

Seeing this, Natsubori Isamu and Imai Tetsuo exchanged a glance, then packed their things and left the firm that had caused them so much pain.

Just as Zaitsu Ukihiko said, the president is dead, and now they have no reason to stay here. Those annoying jobs... let those who want to do them do them...

……

As night fell, the villa, which had been lit up all night, finally sank into darkness, completely blending into the night.

In the darkness, a man dressed in black stealthily climbed through the window and, under the cover of moonlight, began to rummage through the villa.

However, the man in black's search didn't seem to be going smoothly; after searching for quite some time, he still hadn't found what he was looking for...

"Damn it, that wretched woman, what did she hide here? We haven't found it after all this time. If this keeps up, I'm going to be..."

As Gin's sinister expression gradually surfaced in his mind, the man in black involuntarily shivered.

Although several months have passed since Miyano Akemi's death, the task Gin gave him to search the villa has not been cancelled.

That cautious fellow seemed to be afraid that Miyano Akemi might have left some tricks before she died, so he wanted him to find out what this woman had done before she died, at all costs.

This should have been a long-term task, since during this period, apart from the deceased Akemi Miyano, no one else had come to the villa where he worked.

According to his thinking, he only needed to investigate slowly, and one day he would find something suspicious. Moreover, he could take this opportunity to avoid other complicated tasks issued by the organization.

At the very least, you can turn it into a long-term task to get by.

However, despite all his calculations, he never expected that the company president, Sohei Izushima, would be poisoned to death today, which directly disrupted all his plans.

The mission was forced to be brought forward, and all the time, without any preparation...

If possible, the man in black really wanted to contact the organization and ask them to send more people over.

But if that happens, I'll definitely be marked by Gin, and if anything goes wrong, that cold-blooded guy might use me as a scapegoat.

In addition, he had intended to report the young man's arrival to the organization that morning, but then he discovered that his phone had suddenly lost signal...

With all these factors combined, the man in black ultimately decided to investigate for one night first.

What if he finds something Miyano Akemi left behind tonight?

It must be said that people are always complacent before danger arrives, which is also a manifestation of blind self-confidence.

The men in black right now are like this...

Just as he finished searching the second floor and was about to return to the first-floor office area, a figure suddenly flashed past him...

"who?"

Upon seeing this, the man in black tensed up instantly and immediately prepared to go downstairs to confirm.

However, when he walked to the spot where the figure had just passed, he found nothing strange. There wasn't even a footprint, let alone a figure.

'Could I have misread it?'

The man in black scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, but given the urgency of the situation, he decided to prioritize finding the item.

If things drag on and the police take complete control of the villa the next day, he will have no way to find anything left behind by Miyano Akemi on his own.

This is his last chance.

With that thought in mind, the man in black gathered his strength and prepared to continue his thorough search from the first floor.

However, just as he was about to turn around, a cold voice came from behind him.

"You're already giving up on looking? What if the thing is hidden right where you just looked? I really don't know what Gin was thinking, letting someone as careless as you be in charge of Atsushi Miyano's house. No wonder we haven't found anything after all these years..."
