Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 278 Rei Furuya's Guide to Piloting Flight Vehicles

A helicopter flew through the night sky, overlooking the central area of ​​Shibuya. The streets, though still bright and bustling with people, were now deserted after the disaster.

The blue and purple liquids around the central intersection formed rings of ice, creating a dreamlike effect under the reflected light.

Several fire trucks were dealing with the liquid that had been blocked behind them, and a major crisis was silently averted. In the end, no one knew how the liquid had frozen in front of them.

"It's like magic."

"The police must have prepared liquid nitrogen in advance, right?"

"Could liquid nitrogen create such a scene? There wasn't enough time at the time, was there?"

"Otherwise what? It can't really be magic."

"We are now over Shibuya, where the terrorist attack occurred. Please look..."

"It is said that the chaos was caused by an international assassin, the notorious bomber Pramia, and the one who thwarted Pramia's plot was none other than our famous detective, Mr. Kindaichi, along with officers from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division and the Public Security Bureau..."

"Hey, hey!" The man with the mustache forced his way in front of the reporters' cameras. "I was involved in this too! Kindaichi and I suspected Pramia from the very beginning. That woman actually deliberately wanted to marry the village police officer..."

Rei Furuya, who had been taken to the police hospital by Yuya Kazami, couldn't help but chuckle.

He had no idea that this bumbling detective had anything to do with him.

"Has everything been taken care of?" Furuya Rei asked, turning to Kazami Yuya by the window.

“Prumia has revealed the location of the remaining liquid bombs,” Kazami Yuya said, hanging up the phone. “She strongly requests to see Detective Kindaichi one more time.”

"It seems I'm still not reconciled." Furuya Rei smiled easily, gazing wistfully out the hospital room window.

It was as if I could see my old comrades who had trained with me at the police academy.

Three years ago, everyone worked together to sabotage the Pramia Project, but Pramia escaped. Today, the matter is finally settled.

"We've also obtained the liquid bomb sample, and we'll be able to prepare the neutralizing solution soon," Kazami Yuya continued to report. "Even if similar bombs appear in the future, we'll be able to deal with them promptly."

Kazami Yuya hesitated, then continued, "Regarding Detective Kindaichi, he completely disappeared after returning the special edition phone... we..."

“Let him be,” Furuya Rei said without any surprise. “Just transfer the commission fee to Kido Detective Agency.”

He originally wanted to thank Gao Mo properly.

If it weren't for Gao Mo's help, who knows what would have happened.

He had his own ulterior motives for initially choosing to work at Kido Detective Agency, but now it seems like it was the best decision he ever made.

"I won't quit my job as a detective; I also want to learn more about this famous detective." Furuya Rei said calmly.

Boss Kido was too lazy to handle those heavy tasks. He couldn't accept them, but he couldn't sit still either. He had never had the habit of leaving things unfinished since he was a child, and he couldn't help but want to clear out his task list.

He originally intended to take this opportunity to resign, but now he has changed his mind.

The detective has to keep going.

Just then, a familiar shout came from next door, and Furuya Rei's ears twitched slightly.

"What's going on outside?"

"Those are the children who need to be discharged from the hospital."

Kazami Yuya glanced over and noticed the chattering group of Ayumi and Gao Mo's familiar figure, and his eyes twitched.

"Kido Takamori is here too. Shall we meet with him?"

"No," Furuya Rei shook his head. "It's better not to let them know about my injury. Also, even if you arrange to transfer me to another hospital, recuperating here is still a hassle."

The ward next door.

Gao Mo also sensed Furuya Rei's presence and discovered Kazami Yuya spying on him, but could only pretend not to see it.

Compared to yesterday, Ai is in much better condition. After learning that the crisis was over, even though the doctor suggested observing her for a few days, Ai still insisted on going home.

She knows her own body best and dares not stay in the hospital for an extended period.

"So Pramia was just arrested in the end?" Ai asked Gao Mo privately after watching Ayumi and the others excitedly discussing the case outside.

"That guy is really lucky. An ordinary person would have died long ago. But it will be very difficult for him to get out in the future. It is said that he will be transferred to a special prison."

Gao Mo peeled an apple for Xiao Ai.

He personally quite hopes that Pramiya will escape from prison.

These prisoners have already left their scent on him, making it very easy to sense them. If he were to deal with them, even if Pramia had a strong life, it wouldn't matter. "Whoosh!"

Gao Mo turned his gaze toward the notebook projection.

[Storage Pool +100 Stars]

I thought this kind of case would be hard to get any results, but at the same time that Pramia was arrested, it seems that something was captured and turned into 100 stars.

These top-tier assassins are truly invaluable; it was such a waste to eliminate Scrooge in the first place.

[Rei Furuya's Wish: The Truth Behind Hiromitsu Morofushi's Death, Organization Secrets, and Playing the Role of an "Undercover Agent"]

This time I got two job skill books and a role-playing quest.

Being an undercover agent is a profession, but unfortunately, he had no ideas about it.

He didn't want to be an undercover agent, and he also already knew the truth about Morofushi Kagemitsu's death.

Morofushi Kagemitsu was not actually killed by Akai Shuichi, but committed suicide in a moment of desperation, destroying his phone in the process to prevent the organization from investigating.

What ultimately broke Morofushi Kagemitsu's last line of defense was the sound of Furuya Rei's hurried footsteps as he rushed to the scene. Although Gin was also outside, it was Furuya Rei himself who ultimately drove Morofushi Kagemitsu to his death.

As for organizational secrets... there's no need to go undercover.

He knows what he needs to know, and he can't find out what he doesn't know in a short time, so it's too much of a waste of his time.

"The university building replied," Ai said, burying her head in an apple. "We can start the literary supplement serialization trial next week. Will you have time to update it?"

"There's still plenty of time."

Gao Mo didn't expect such a pleasant surprise. Although it was just a supplement, his purpose was simply to test the waters and see if he could include writers' professions.

I didn't plan to write much for my first novel.

Level 2 writing is still lacking.

"You really want to be a novelist?" Conan, who had been eavesdropping, felt a bit out of touch with the times. "What's the point?"

money?
Kido Detective Agency has no shortage of talent.

reputation?

If Gao Mo wanted fame, why would he need to write novels?
Not only Kindaichi, but the mysterious and popular actor "Domoto Hajime" is also most likely a pseudonym of Gao Mo, because he doesn't seem like a normal actor at all, and he only appears when Gao Mo disappears.

"Just a hobby." Gao Mo continued to examine the projected notes.

It seems that professions will only be included after the novel is officially published, and even though he has seen a lot in the world, he still has some expectations.

As for the undercover profession... well, forget about it. He'll only consider it if there's absolutely no other suitable job available.

"If you're really interested, you could ask my dad for advice. After all, writing novels and solving cases are quite different," Conan reminded him.

As she spoke, she felt a little depressed.

He's always a slacker, yet his crime-solving skills are better than even his own.

Although he had been staying at the hospital and had fewer clues than Gao Mo, he should have been able to notice when Pramiya came to visit him. After all, he knew the hints on the note and could have easily noticed the bride's unusual behavior.

Gao Mo deduced that the bride was a suspect even before he saw her.

"But what exactly happened in the end?" Conan frowned as he looked at the news report. "Liquid nitrogen can freeze large areas of flowing liquid?"

“I don’t know,” Gao Mo continued peeling the apple. “It might be the work of the police.”

"Police?"

Conan, who knew that Gao Mo was Kindaichi, showed a suspicious expression.

There may have been police involvement, but he felt that the crisis could be resolved, and Gao Mo must have done many things he didn't know about.

Could it be that it really has magic?

How can it be?
