Leader Zai and Despair Raids the World

"……what are you doing."

Dazai said dryly:

"Don't take it out on other people. Is it fun to scare children?"

Saying this, Dazai seemed not to feel the terrifying aura emanating from this "Toru Amuro" for a moment, raised his face, and complained mercilessly.

After finishing speaking, he gently held Hui Yuan Ai's hand, and pushed the girl who was still clutching his sleeve from behind him to Mao Lilan's side.

In order to appease the girl's uncontrollable worry, Dazai waved his hand and smiled at her.

Under the blank eyes of the other Detective Boys, Dazai stepped forward and stretched out his hands to Toru Amuro——

"Stop messing around. Put the kid down."

Dazai ordered.

Even though he was only an eight-year-old boy, Dazai always spoke in a condescending tone at such moments.

It seems that he has long been used to the feeling of being in a high position.

It was as if the people in front of him were just pawns on the chessboard for him to play with.

As if... he himself was the protector who took on everything.

When Osamu Dazai spoke in such a tone, Toru Amuro knew that he had lost the qualification to refuse.

In front of him is no longer a naive child who can joke with the puppy Harrow on weekdays and is so cute that he will grab dog food.

It is the next heir to the dark organization that he and his companions will destroy at all costs.

Toru Amuro—Bourbon—had a change of expression on his face.

The sunny and bright young boy image of a moment ago disappeared.

The members of the men in black organization who were bleak and frightening a few seconds ago also disappeared.

Even Edogawa Conan, who was "hijacked" in his arms by this person, who was highly nervous at the critical moment and was thinking about how to escape, couldn't help being stunned:

Is that expression... "nervous"?

Nervous who?Who are you worried about?

Do even the members of that group care about other people?

Is the person worried about "Little Master"?

Or—is it someone else?

It seems that even if this person is a member of the organization, he is somewhat confused by Conan's height and age.

Toru Amuro kept holding Conan in his arms, and talked to Dazai.

This man who has added several layers of camouflage to himself is now acting shamelessly at an eight-year-old boy:

"No, I'm very worried?" Toru Amuro deliberately dragged his voice, "I finally found the target in the game, but found that my young master only has one person or something..."

This sentence was deliberately vague, and the specific information was not called to a little detective who held his breath and stretched his ears.

No matter how smart Conan is, he can't figure out what is the reason for this man's erratic attitude without knowing enough information.

Only Osamu Dazai and Bourbon know the truth.

...Maybe, Dazai knows a little more than Bourbon.

Probably because of this reason, when the two looked at each other, Dazai smiled quietly.

This sad, doomed fate.

After understanding all this, even Dazai occasionally wished that time would pass more slowly.

Don't treat two best friends so cruelly.

pity……

"He's waiting for you in the lounge."

Dazai said softly.

"..."

"..."

As if confirming something from the butt-to-eye contact, the blond-haired, black-skinned man's eyes flickered, and he finally bent down and put the child in his arms on the ground.

As soon as he looked up, he was "Toru Amuro" again.

"Okay, then I will help investigate the scene as a trainee detective!" Toru Amuro smiled cheerfully and pushed Conan towards the Boys Detective Team: "The famous Mr. Mori just told me well. Me, you children too, don't run around at the scene of the murder!"

After a pause for a second, Toru Amuro-Bourbon-Rei Fuguya suddenly realized a blind spot in his thinking, and quickly showed a serious look that was essentially Japanese police:

"You children, you shouldn't have seen the crime scene! Get out of here now!"

... This person changed his face quite quickly.

Fortunately, "Bourbon" has a mission, and he is wearing the vest of "Amuro Toru". He is busy fishing in troubled waters.

When the children under his gaze sluggishly agreed, "Okay—" they only had time to give Dazai a serious look, then turned around and mixed into the crowd.

The remaining few people who didn't understand at all tilted their heads:?

After being at a loss for a while, he classified this strange and kind-hearted big brother into the scope of "come to help" and "know Dazai classmate".

Only Haibara Ai hurried out from behind Mori Ran, and together with Edogawa Conan hurried to Dazai's side:

"What's his 'code name'?!" Conan asked urgently in a low voice.

"Who is he? - I don't remember ever seeing this person!" Hui Yuanai racked his brains to search his memory.

Dazai was so kind, he didn't even bother to hide it: "'Bourbon'." He said.

After finishing speaking, he looked around with a little vigilance.

The semi-finished artificial intelligence has stopped working. Dazai himself knows that he is actually guarding against the "invisible god of death", but Conan and Haibara will be wrong, thinking that this child is guarding against the members of the organization who do not know where to watch him .

Haibara Ai, as a person who was once wrapped and persecuted by layers of darkness, was able to understand this feeling of suffocation better, and immediately raised her hand to stop Dazai from continuing.

"Enough!" the girl interrupted eagerly in a low voice, "I remembered some information about this person, and it is related to another member code-named 'Lei'. Edogawa, I will tell you later, don't press this again now baby!"

Conan also realized at the same time: now is not a good time to focus on asking for information about the organization!

At this time, Dazai reached out his hand and grabbed Conan's wrist.

This is a rare initiative by Osamu Dazai, and even Conan was startled: "What's wrong?" He thought the child was frightened by the eager and urgent attitude of the two just now, so he quickly rubbed his face, obviously his rapid heartbeat hadn't stopped yet. When he could stop, he wanted to comfort the boy: "Thank you just now for saving me again, but next time I still have to put my own safety first..."

Obviously, he would never let go of any chance to save lives, but this little detective insisted on telling others like this.

Looking at the kind and just little detective in front of him, Dazai smiled slightly.

"'Jiancun Zhongbin'."

Dazai said suddenly.

“‘Spent a brief stint in the technical department before Schindler & Co. went bankrupt.’”

He repeated verbatim the information that Scotland had confided before, and at the same time pointed to the other dead person who fell on the ground.

As smart as Conan, he immediately understood.

"you……"

Conan and Dazai looked at each other, their eyes changed slightly, and they didn't know what to ask for a while.

'How do you know this man? '

'Is this the mission objective of the organization? '

'Does this death concern you? '

Questions came one after another, but Conan didn't say anything.

Perhaps it was because Dazai Osamu showed a serious expression for the first time in front of him.

"Before Jiancun Zhongbin decided to die for the child, I bumped into him once, but there was nothing I could do to stop him."

Dazai said quietly, and smiled a little self-deprecatingly.

"but……"

As if he understood Dazai's unspoken plea, Edogawa Conan suddenly laughed.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Conan said firmly, reaching out and patting his chest.

"I will not let the truth of any death disappear!"

This is his, Kudo Shinichi's belief.

【Barrage:

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"I just don't know who to worry about?"

"What kind of serial knife is this...?"

"Wow, Scotland, are you okay!!"

"I really didn't expect Jiancun Zhongbin and the villain boss of the original movie version to die together here..."

"I'm already looking at the screen through my fingers! Oh my god, even if I lose my memory, I can't bear to die for my child because of the empathy of the mimic incident back then... In the end, I still couldn't get Jiancun Zhongbin Save it..."

"But, but, this is the leader Dazai... Even if it's a mimic incident, it's not his mimic..."

"?! Do you have a knife on the left !!! Uh, ah ah ah ah ah ah, what kind of knife essence are you! How many times have you spanned this??? I almost died clean ..."

After shivering and crying for a while, Danmaku pinned his hopes on Conan.

"...Although it's unscientific and annoying to run around the scene of the crime from time to time when I usually complain about Conan, but at this time..."

"Yes, I suddenly understand this sense of justice and peace of mind... Thank you, little detective!"

"I will never persecute you again! Conan, you should pay attention to safety when solving the case!"

"Yes, yes! I look forward to you revealing the truth to everyone! Come on, detective!!"]

Although Edogawa Conan did not know that there were many people calling for him in another dimension, his pace of solving the case did not stop because of this.

He skillfully coaxed the three children not to run around, and entrusted Xiaolan and Yuanzi to Huiyuan Ai and Dazai to take care of them.

...No, no, no, Conan firmly believes that he has not mistaken the client:

In case something unexpected happened, he would rather believe that Dazai once again defended himself in front of the members of the organization, and he didn't want Xiaolan to rush forward and use karate to block the bullet.

And Conan himself, once again relying on his insignificance, ran to the scene of the crime in a hurry.

With the blessing of Dazai's information, when Conan observed the scene again, he felt that the fog in front of him had been completely lifted:

- That's right.It was indeed a premeditated murder.

To be more precise, the murderer is Zhongbin Jiancun.

And when he went here, he didn't leave a way out for himself, and he took the initiative to die with the attitude of dying together.

But what about motivation?

Is it the "child" that Dazai said?

Conan hid in the blind corner of the adults' vision, and finally touched Kenmura Zhongbin.

He blocked the palm of his hand with a handkerchief, and rummaged through it without damaging the scene.

Finally, his efforts were not wasted.

In Conan's open palm, lay a photo.

The boy in the photo is not very old, he looks less than ten years old.

Black hair, dark blue eyes.

The photo seemed to be taken secretly. The boy didn't look at the camera, but he looked gentle and smiled.

Conan looked at this old photo, and looked at the marks left by people's cherished caresses on its corners.

After pausing for a few seconds, Conan flipped the photo to the back.

On the back of the photo is written a name——

'Sawada Hiroki'.
