I'm writing a fictional immortality script in Detective Conan.

Chapter 19 The Wedding of the Nightingale and the Rose (Part 1)

"So the nightingale pressed harder, the thorn almost touching her heart; the more she sang, the more pain she felt, singing of love perfected in death, reborn in the tomb..."

Conan stood on tiptoe, leaned over Kuromon Haruya's desk, and read aloud from the book, "Kuromon-kun, you're reading 'The Nightingale and the Rose'?"

"Yes, this is one of my favorite love stories, and it fits perfectly into this occasion where happiness is on the way!"

Upon hearing Conan's recitation, Haruya Kuromon held up the book with a look of longing: "The male protagonist was moved by the nightingale's deep love and guarded the rose for many years. In the end, their love moved God, the nightingale was resurrected and became human, and they lived happily ever after."

Isn't this description incorrect? In the original story, the male protagonist threw away the rose after being rejected, which was meant to illustrate the blindness and sacrifice of love, right?

Conan looked at the book cover with his beady eyes, and sure enough, he found a line of text deliberately shrunk in the lower right corner of the title "The Nightingale and the Rose": Adapted version of the fairy tale ending.

Seeing the happiness radiating from Yoruichi Kuromon, Conan Edogawa decided to give him room to discover things for himself.

"Wow, Matsumoto-sensei looks so beautiful in that wedding dress!"

Sonoko Suzuki's exclamation of amazement came from the bridal dressing room not far away.

Haruya Kuromon chuckled and ruffled Conan's hair, pointing towards the lounge: "Are you sure you don't want to use Shinichi's identity to make a phone call and offer your blessings? I think that teacher really likes you."

"She likes me? That's more like how she used to mess with me in class back then." Conan, displaying his arrogant side, turned his head away, clearly very interested but stubbornly refusing to admit it.

Seeing his expression, Kuromon Haruya put down the book in his hand and gently but firmly pushed Conan toward the bathroom.

"Wait, Brother Heimen, don't push me! Okay, okay, I know..."

"Hey, Kuromon-kun, we can film here now! Huh, where's Conan?" After the women in the lounge finished their meeting, Ran Mouri walked around and looked around.

"Conan just went to the bathroom."

Pushing open the door to the lounge, Ms. Matsumoto, dressed in an elegant wedding gown, was laughing and joking with Sonoko Suzuki in front of the camera. The lace and tulle skirt made her look like a dazzling pearl.

Kuromon Haruya bowed in a gesture reminiscent of a courtier in a play: "Ms. Matsumoto looks absolutely stunning. It's an honor to film her wedding video."

"Hey, Shinichi? I thought you weren't coming. Matsumoto-sensei is right here with me. I'll give her the phone now."

The phone rang behind her. Ran Mouri took out her flip phone from her pocket, answered it for a moment, and then handed it to Ms. Matsumoto.

Ran Mouri became much more lively when Shinichi Kudo was mentioned: "Hey, Kuromon-kun, let me tell you, Shinichi used to always sing off-key, so he was always very shy whenever he saw Matsumoto-sensei!"

Kuromon Haruya feigned surprise: "I didn't expect that Kudo would sing off-key?"

Although the original work mentions that he sings badly, Kuromon Haruya has never personally experienced just how bad it is.

Looks like I'll have to find a chance to ask Conan to show off his singing voice. If it's truly a captivating, melodious song, maybe it can be recorded and edited into material for the organization's brainwashing audio.

"Achoo! Matsumoto-sensei, I'm fine. I won't say any more. I wish you and your husband a happy and fulfilling marriage!"

In the toilet stall, Conan took off his bow tie and voice changer and scratched his head in confusion: Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?

"That guy's singing is more terrifying than a cat scratching a blackboard!"

With a toothy grin, Sonoko Suzuki presented the camera with both hands, trying her best to wash away the noise pollution in her memories with Haruya Kuromon's good looks. "I'm counting on you from now on, Mr. Kuroba!"

Since learning that he was a young photographer, Sonoko has often called him "Kuroba-sensei" (a term of endearment for a female celebrity), supposedly to maintain a sense of ritual in her fandom.

Thanks to this identity, Kuromon Haruya was able to get involved in the incident very naturally through their introductions.

In this performance, he plays the role of "a passionate young man who takes photos for free because he longs for a happy atmosphere".

"Little Lily, I've bought some warm lemon tea!"

A mature and beautiful woman walked by carrying a plastic bag from a convenience store. She was Kazumi Takenaka, the bride Matsumoto Sayuri's best friend and one of the suspects in this case.

Motives...

Kazumi Takenaka tossed her hair and walked up to Haruya Kuromon: "I was originally planning to publicly reveal that the groom is my ex-boyfriend, but after seeing this photographer, I changed my mind. Are you currently dating anyone?"

Haruya Kuromon: ?

Her motive was stated in the previous sentence; please don't misunderstand.

This pickup line hit Sonoko Suzuki's nail on the head, and she immediately jumped between the two and began to breathe on them: "Excuse me, ma'am, but Kuromon is a bachelor!"

"Hehehe, I was just kidding!"

Amused by Sonoko Suzuki's protective mother hen-like demeanor, Kazumi Takenaka chuckled and, before leaving, gave her a flirtatious wink.

"That's just how Ichimi is. There's also a can of lemon tea in here, consider it compensation for Mr. Kuromon."

Ms. Matsumoto took out another can of lemon tea and handed it to Haruya Kuromon. She didn't take Kazumi's teasing threat seriously; after all, as the saying goes, best friends are like limbs, while men are like clothes.

"Ah, thank you." Kuromon Haruya took the tea canister, unzipped it, and placed the drink on the table.

Xiaolan quietly pulled Yuanzi aside: "Yuanzi, how did you know Kuromon's criteria for choosing a partner?"

Speaking of this topic, Sonoko covered her face in frustration: "Needless to say, of course I tested them! Not only was the answer unsatisfactory, but I also accidentally said that I was willing to stand up for Kuromon and refuse."

"But then again, the gentle, idealistic type like Kuromon isn't really my type. So, being able to protect this handsome face isn't so bad, hehe~"

Ran Mouri, seeing Sonoko's expression change in an instant, immediately realized she'd been tricked: "Sonoko, really—"

The door opened and closed. A massive, bear-like figure filled the entire frame, resembling an elongated version of vodka without sunglasses and a hat, followed by several Tokyo police inspectors. This was Kiyonaga Matsumoto, the current superintendent of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

"Who do you think you are! If you mess around, Xiaolan might throw you out!"

Seeing that the newcomers were hostile, Sonoko Suzuki and Ran, who were already in a state of stress, stood in front of Matsumoto-sensei.

The camera panned to Matsumoto Kiyonaga, whose tone of surprise was: "Inspector Matsumoto? So, does that mean Ms. Matsumoto is your daughter?"

“That’s right.” Inspector Megure followed him into the room, confirming his statement.

"daughter?!"

The shocking truth left Ran and Sonoko speechless with surprise. Recalling their earlier actions, they quickly apologized, "We are so sorry!"

"It's okay, it's just that my dad always has a stern face."

As Matsumoto Sayuri listened to these childish remarks, she felt even more that inviting them to witness the event was the right choice. Indeed, there was more joy in being with children, and she felt younger herself!

The camera lens fairly records everyone's words and actions, and depending on how things unfold in the future, this record can evoke feelings of happiness and comfort, or it can serve as evidence in court.

Kiyonaga Matsumoto is the person the organization is currently trying to contact.

According to the investigation report of the undercover agent who infiltrated the high ranks of the police force, Matsumoto Kiyomasa, due to his stubborn and upright style of doing things, although he successfully arrested criminals in many cases, he also made a series of minor mistakes.

The most serious case of dereliction of duty indirectly led to the death of a woman who did not receive timely medical attention.

Following closely behind Inspector Matsumoto was one of Ran's senior classmates who came to visit them, and his attitude seemed to indicate a teacher-student relationship.

I wonder if Japan allows teacher-student relationships? In China, a confession from a student would be enough to make a teacher look bad for life.

Huh? Kuromon Haruya looked at the camera's display screen and saw that the battery, which had been full, had suddenly dropped several bars.

"Xiao Lan, the battery in this camera seems to be faulty. Could you please go to the nearby electronics store and buy some batteries?"

Sonoko rolled up her sleeves, full of enthusiasm: "No problem, leave it to us!"

Conan, carrying books, pushed open the door and entered, looking at the high school girls who were quickly leaving with a puzzled expression. Little did he know that his appearance immediately attracted the attention of Ms. Matsumoto.

Matsumoto Sayuri squatted down in front of Conan, her tone as friendly as a preschool teacher's: "Little brother, what book are you reading?"

When a teacher suddenly speaks in a gentle and kind tone, the students should start to tense up. Conan, seeing Matsumoto-sensei suddenly become so gentle, immediately felt his alarm bells ring!

“It’s Oscar Wilde’s Nightingale and Rose,” Conan replied in a sweet, cloying voice.

Matsumoto Sayuri was somewhat surprised: "The Nightingale and the Rose, that's a very profound story about love. Did you understand anything from it?"

"Haha, this is Brother Kuromon's book. I'm just holding it for him, so I can't tell anything about it."

Conan turned to look at Haruya Kuromon with pleading eyes, but only saw the cold light reflected from the camera lens.

Taking advantage of the moment, Matsumoto-sensei snatched off Conan's glasses and carefully scanned his features with a look of nostalgia and relief.

After a long while, she came to her senses and exclaimed, "As expected, you look just like Shinichi Kudo. You make me want to tease you."

"Because Shinichi looks exactly like my first love when I was a child. Whenever I was bullied, he would always come to my aid for some reason, and he would often bring me warm lemon tea from his own home! I don't want to forget that happy feeling, so I often drink this."

Conan puffed up his round face in anger: Seriously, just because of this, you teased me on the phone, and now I'm being teased again!

Just then, the groom, Toshihiko Takasugi, was pushed into the bride's dressing room by the groomsmen.

Matsumoto Sayuri turned around, raised her index finger to Conan and the camera, and said somewhat shyly, "This is our secret! You can't tell this person."
