Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 405 Beautiful World
  The phone call just now was from Hattori. As expected, they got into trouble again.

Not long ago, Conan Hattori and the others noticed a dinging mobile phone under their feet. At first they thought someone had accidentally lost their phone, and now they were calling to look for it. As a result, when Hattori answered the phone, the strange man on the other side who claimed to be the owner of the property, said in a sinister tone that he wanted to play a missing person game with Hattori and the others. The following are Hattori’s original words.

[Is it fun? I’m asking you, is this place really that fun? If you like it, I can play a more exciting game with you. And it is guaranteed to be a life and death game that is more fun than a football game and will make your blood boil. But in this game of life and death, I should be the one who dies. But I don’t want to die alone. It’s so lonely to be on the road alone. 】

[At the end of the third, sixth, and ninth inning, the cell phone that was placed somewhere on the court would ring. This phone will hint at my location. When the game ends I'll be right next to my phone ringing. The phone will only ring three times. If you don't answer in time, you will be struck out. Of course if you can find them all before your phone rings. You will see me before the game is over. Then you win. 】

[Whether I am joking or not, you will know at the end of the second half of the second game. Listen clearly, the first hint is in the text message on the phone. Also, please tell the person next to you that I really hope to meet him. That's it for now, see you later. 】

In addition, this person calls himself the devil of Koshien. Let’s call him Devilman for now.

After listening to the entire phone call, from the perspective of a bystander, Riku Ren felt that Hattori and Conan were too kind.

If it were him who answered the call, he would be in a good mood and have nothing to do. He would choose to listen to a few words or even chat with the person on the other side. I am in a bad mood or have something important to do, such as watching a football match with Bei Dao right now. After the person on the other end said the first sentence "Is it fun?", Lu Ren hung up the phone 100%.

Funny you Banana Bara, you are crazy.

Even in the first situation, when Lu Ren heard the words "I want to play a life and death game with you.", he would definitely hang up the phone directly.

Play a game of hammer. Silly [beep] Riddler, hurry up and die, as far away as possible.

Lu Ren felt that the patience and kindness he had left were not enough for those around him. Let alone care about the life and death of a stranger. Especially those who speak unclearly and are asked to guess riddles.

On the other hand, in Conan Hattori, they not only patiently listened to this long conversation, but also actually took action, putting aside the exciting and intense game and dragging the person the devil calls the note, which is Officer Otaki, together to find the devil.

Lu Ren thinks these three people are really powerful. This word "awesome" is a compliment and does not mean something sinister. It was precisely because he couldn't do it that Lu Ren understood how valuable it was to be able to do it and actually do it.

Anyone who can't do it himself and still does it out of spite is a fool. There is actually no meaning for such a person to live. If he survives, he will increase the diversity of species.

As for Hattori and the others, the reason why they called was also very simple. This devil is not joking, he is serious.

The second half of the second game ended, which is now at 1:40. A fire broke out in the Takano Transportation Building opposite Koshien. Officer Otaki immediately contacted the local police in Hyogo Prefecture. The cause of the fire was that someone dropped a bomb in the building.

Although it cannot be proven yet, there is a direct connection between fire and Devilman. But the timing was too coincidental, and Hattori and the others didn't dare to gamble. Who knows if this bomb was planted by a devil, and whether this devil planted a bomb in Koshien.

If this person is not found before the end of the game. The consequences would be a little less than wonderful.

Lu Ren had previously handled a similar case. That time I was watching the Locust Cup at the National Arena with Haiyuan. However, the prisoner's purpose was relatively pure, simply seeking money. If the money is not enough, he will randomly shoot and kill a lucky person present. Compared with the Devilman this time, his behavior seemed a bit childish.

This one plays with bombs. With such a caring environment, even if it were a small bomb, it would not be a joke to drop one. And the prisoner may not have planted the bomb in just one place. Regardless of whether it is a single blast or multiple blooms, Lu Ren can guarantee that he will not worry about no big news in the next month. Just catch this and report it all day long.

It's just clear that Lu Ren is not very interested in this matter. Because this is also an original plot. And it is a plot that connects with the fight between Hattori and Hakoshien Takarazuka. Lu Ren knew about this before setting off.

The reason why he couldn't get excited was simple - no one died. Immortal = no draws. Although the consequences of failure are serious, in terms of consequentialism, this time it is a big deal.

Normally when Conan Hattori visited, he would encounter murder cases or even serial murder cases. This time, it was rare for the Eastern and Western Shinigami to get together, and no one died. I'm afraid it can only be attributed to Qisan's deep affection for Koshien or baseball, and he doesn't want to see this place stained with blood.

Rather than solving a suicide case that was destined to fail, Lu Ren preferred to stay with Bei Dao and watch the game. Lu Ren has used identification to scan this place many times before, including now. There were no bombs planted inside or outside the broadcasting office. In other words, if Conan and the others really miss, he and Bei Dao will at least be safe.

The only thing to consider is the Mori father and daughter and Kazuha sitting in the stands. Even if the explosion point is not at their place, the pushing and stamping caused by the explosion is no joke. It would be better to say that the latter caused more casualties than the explosion.

And what can I say, this prisoner is really staying near Lan and the others. Lan's luck as the European emperor is very strange. It is her who is good and she is also bad.

……

About an hour later, at 2:45 p.m. Hattori called a second time. He informed Lu Ren on the phone that they had found the second mobile phone. But when the prisoner sent the third code immediately, they had no idea.

三组暗号分别是——96-[7]- 13/47 -[3]- 4/[]-13。

The first two groups are okay, but the third group is indeed a bit anti-human.

The game has now reached the seventh inning. Hong Kong Nan High School scored one point first, and Daikin High School currently has zero. If there is no overtime, the game will normally end in nine innings. There is not much time left for Hattori and the others.

Through the phone call, it was not difficult for Lu Ren to feel their unconcealable tension. Forget it, let's help them.

"I have something to do. I'll go out first. If you have any questions, call me."

"Ah."

Lu Ren left the studio and walked all the way to the gate of Jiaziyuan. It's a bit too noisy inside to make a phone call.

"Master Glen, good day."

"About a month ago, Takano Transport hit and killed a high school baseball player. I want specific information about the baseball player and his family. The sooner the better."

"Your will."

At this point, the devil's motive for committing the crime is already very clear. His son was hit and killed by a truck because he was too tired to react due to excessive baseball training. As a result, the prisoners hated being transported to Takano, and they began to hate the sport of baseball.

Five minutes later, Lu Ren received the full set of information.

The name of the deceased was Tomitsu Yu, the main pitcher of Teito Industrial Baseball Team. His father, Yukio Tomitsu, is a consultant for the Teito Industrial Baseball Team. His mother died young, leaving him a single-parent family. At the same time, Tomitsu Yukio's parents both died of illness. He became completely alone.

"This person's household registration is only one page." Wait a minute, his household registration is only one page. This kind of joke is hell.

Lu Ren sighed, this matter is really difficult. There was nothing to worry about in the first place. The only spiritual support was that his son died unexpectedly. This kind of person who has already lost his heart should be treated with verbal therapy just as he was treated with the previous prisoners. That's definitely useless.

But when it comes to giving him some humanistic care, Lu Ren doesn't think it's necessary. Lu Ren, who has also experienced the pain of bereavement, knows that only he can untie this kind of knot in his heart, and no matter what outsiders say, it will have little effect.

Lu Ren is not this person's beloved relative or brother, so there is no need to pay too much attention to him. At most, when you arrest him, you can give him a few words of advice, whether you want to listen or not.

At this time, the game has entered the first half of the eighth inning, and the score between the two sides is still 1-0. Hattori didn't call again this time, probably because he couldn't care less.

In the original plot, because the third code given by the prisoner was too anti-human, by the time Conan and the others cracked the code, there was not much time left in the game. They simply cannot find and stop the murderer before the end of the game. According to the normal plot trend, it is time for the gangster to detonate the bomb and everyone to have family fun together.

Of course, this kind of thing won't happen in a shounen manga like Conan. Miracles will definitely happen at critical moments.

Hmm... forget it, Lu Ren wears a two-piece suit for marginalized people. His luck has always been bad, so he should not expect miracles, a small probability event.

When Riku Ren found Yukio Tomitsu, the game was already in the first half of the ninth inning. Daikin High School, which was originally tied at zero, scored two points in a row, successfully rewriting the score to 2:1. Now the offense and defense changed, and Hong Kong Tian High School was in danger.

At the same time, Lu Ren successfully seized the remote control from Tomitsu Yukio and the bomb in the bag, and used some tricks to successfully make Tomitsu Yukio completely lose his ability to resist.

A big man was instantly pushed to the ground by another man. People around him were shocked by this turn of events. Lu Ren smiled at them and skillfully took out the fake evidence, "The police are handling the case."

That's okay. The attention of the surrounding spectators quickly turned to the game again, and this was the most exciting time.

Niao Guang lay on the ground, his face coming into close contact with the ground. The man behind him was like a mountain, weighing him down and unable to move, making him feel even more powerless and humiliated.

"Who are you anyway? Where are they?"

"I can still talk, so it looks like I'm in good condition. Let me see, oh, the game is in the ninth inning."

"answer me!"

"You're so annoying." Lu Ren pulled Niao Guang's hair and lifted his head up. "The game will be over soon. Let's talk after watching."

After the ninth inning, the score was 2:1. It seemed that everything was settled, but things took a turn for the better. Minato High School's Nagashima hit a crucial home run, successfully tied the score and single-handedly took the game into overtime. Lu Ren's ears hurt from the loud cheers and shouts around him.

"There will always be people who say no to fate."

Oh my, these are so cool words. It's a pity that Beidao is not here. Lu Ren felt a little regretful.

"How could this be?"

"Why not?"

Conan and his party, who received the news from Lu Ren at this time, finally arrived here. After Lu Ren handed over the bomb and the remote control to them, he got off Niao Guang with confidence and reached out to pull him up from the ground.

"Wait a moment, I'll have a few words with him."

Conan nodded and took Officer Hattori and Otaki a little further away.

At this time, Niao Guang seemed to have calmed down. He stared directly at Lu Ren with empty eyes, "What do you want to tell me?"

"Wait a moment." Lu Ren first borrowed a bottle of mineral water from the young lady sitting next to him. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wet it with water. Then he used the water-soaked handkerchief to wipe away the ashes and stains on Niao Guang's face little by little, and then he reached out and patted Niao Guang's clothes gently.

"Sorry, my help hasn't arrived yet, so I can only restrain you like this first."

Birdlight was indifferent.

"I won't tell you more. Some things can only be understood by experiencing them." Lu Ren put away his handkerchief, took two steps forward, turned his back to Toriyama Yukio, and looked down at the court below.

"Miracles and magic do not exist. When a person dies, he is dead. He has left this world forever and cannot come back. You can try to forget the pain, or you can live with the pain forever. This is all you There is no right or wrong in your own choice. Whether you can come out or not is actually not important."

"In the eyes of others, everything you go through is irrelevant. Don't complain, and don't seek comfort and understanding. You also know that no one can really help you. Their empathy is of no use to you. , not to mention just being hypocritical. They comfort you a few words out of politeness, and even squeeze a few tears, which makes you feel aggrieved and sadder. But what's the use? You are selling your own Suffering, they are consuming your suffering. In the end, you still get nothing."

"This world is so indifferent. Even if someone puts on a false coat for you and gives you a brief hug, you won't feel a trace of warmth. Well... that's it, let's go."

Bird Light stood there without moving, and now there was light in his eyes. Tears. This man lost his parents as a teenager, his wife as a young man, his son as a middle-aged man, and he finally collapsed after losing everything.

"I can't let go, I can't let go. He was only seventeen years old, why wasn't I the one who died?"

Lu Ren turned around, unmoved at all. How gentle his movements were before when he was cleaning Bird Light's face and clothes, but now his expression and posture were so cold. Perhaps compared to Toriyama, he now looks more like a devil to outsiders.

"It doesn't matter whether you let it go or not. No one will care except you. Come on, don't waste my time."

ps1: The animated version of this episode is a Christmas special, lasting two hours. The description of baseball games in this episode is very informative and professional. The fundamental reason is that Qi San himself did draw a baseball comic called "No. 3, 3rd Base". The two main high school players, Nagashima Shigeo and Inao Kazuhisa, are the protagonists of No. and rd base. This is why someone said in the barrage that these two people are very similar to Shinichi, and they both have the face of the protagonist. Because they are indeed the same protagonists as Kidd, hhh.

ps2: When I was writing, I suddenly felt that this game was very similar to this year’s World Cup final. The World Cup final was between Argentina and France. Argentina had the advantage and was overtaken by France. Then they equalized the score and continued to play overtime. After overtime, a penalty kick was taken. This kind of competitive sport may seem dry and indifferent when written about it. But it’s really different when watching the actual live broadcast. Because everything is unknown, you never know what will happen next moment. In addition, Qi San did not specify who won the final. He probably didn’t want to see either side lose.
