Ke Xuezhen, starting with hypnotizing Vermouth.

"I'm a doctor, so I'll perform the autopsy!"

Asai Shigemi glanced at Gu De, then walked over and began the autopsy.

"No one is allowed to approach the body until the police arrive!"

Kogoro Mouri said seriously.

Immediately, some villagers questioned Kogoro Mouri's identity. Kogoro Mouri straightened his suit and walked over, ready to show off.

Gu De ignored him; this wasn't the first or second time Kogoro Mouri had failed at showing off.

He quietly approached the body and watched Asai Narumi perform the autopsy.

"Miss Asai, don't forget what I said."

"If you have any problems, you can come to me. Keeping things bottled up for too long can easily lead to mental illness."

After finishing speaking, Gu De walked out of the music room without waiting for Asai Narumi's reaction.

"Hey kid, where are you going?"

Kogoro Mouri was somewhat surprised. "Are you not interested in solving the case this time?"

"Go back and rest. You and Conan are in charge here!"

"Gu De said lazily."

Let Kogoro Mouri and Conan handle the troublesome matters!

I'll come back later... to find Xiaolan!

……

I went back to the hotel and slept for a while; it was already past midnight.

Gu Deqi quickly washed up, changed his clothes, and went to the community center again.

"Brother Gu De?"

Ran Mouri was sitting upright on her bedding, while the white-bearded police officer sat there, swaying his head listlessly, seemingly teetering on the edge of drowsiness.

In short, he wasn't awake.

"You're on night duty with this old police officer?"

Gu De naturally sat down on Ran Mouri's bedding.

"Whoo~"

"Whoo~"

The old policeman's beard was being blown up rhythmically.

"Is he completely asleep?"

Gu De reached out and tentatively tested it.

As expected, the other party did not react at all.

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri was fast asleep, sprawled out on his back, while Narumi Asai and Conan were also sound asleep in their bedding.

"Yes, the police officer is probably getting old."

Ran Mouri covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Xiao Lan, I have something good to show you."

As he spoke, Gu De took out his hypnosis pocket watch.

"Splash!"

The gold watch chain made a crisp sound in the quiet room.

Soon, other sounds came from elsewhere.

……

Conan felt that he was not sleeping soundly.

How exactly did Hideo Kawashima die?

Who is that figure?

Why did Gu De leave even though he knew it was a murder case?

A multitude of questions filled his mind, and even when he was asleep, he was constantly haunted by various dreams.

"Godmother sends her greetings!"

That strange voice appeared again in my dream.

Meanwhile, there were also occasional, sparse sounds coming from the surrounding area.

His breathing was heavy and labored.

Conan felt increasingly uncomfortable as he slept, and the heavy breathing sound kept recurring in his recurring dreams, along with other subtle, dreamlike noises.

The sound reminded him of hiding outside his parents' door when he was a child.

I had intended to eavesdrop on my father's explanation of the case, but as I listened, my voice turned into this one.

What kind of exercise do your parents do?

Run?

But the treadmill is clearly in another room.

And why did they both lock the door and run together?

And it seems Mom even told Dad to run faster?

Is it a competition?

Conan's dreams keep changing.

The sound gradually faded away.

Conan's dream returned to the case.

At last.

"Alright, are you full now?"

"Miss Cream Puff?"

A male voice suddenly rang out.

Conan felt the voice was familiar in his dream.

It even sounds a bit like the phrase "Godmother sends her greetings!"

Danger!

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked around.

But then they discovered that Gu De was already in the room!

"Uncle Gu De?"

Conan deliberately doesn't call Gu De "brother".

"Ok?"

Ran Mouri turned around with a dazed look in her eyes, as if she had just woken up from a dream.

"I'm sorry, Brother Gu De, I just fell asleep."

She tried to get up apologetically.

but.

"Ah~"

She tried to get up but slumped back down.

"Sorry, my legs are a little numb, it might be because of my sleeping position."

Ran Mouri sat on the bedding, her face slightly apologetic.

"It's alright, I see you're all asleep."

"I stayed here for a while to keep an eye on things for you."

Gu De's face was full of understanding smiles.

"This guy is actually pretty good..."

Conan thought to himself, and felt it was absurd to have mixed up Gu De's voice with that other voice in his mind just now.

"What a coincidence... Gu De only spent the day at the tropical park."

"and many more!"

"Gu De just arrived in Japan, why would he go to a tropical amusement park alone?"

"Something's not right here!"

Conan's heart, which had just settled down, suddenly tightened again.

But if Gooder is the one who shrunk himself, why would he still appear near him?

……

Early the next morning.

Good morning, Ms. Asai.

Gu De greeted Asai Narumi with a smile, looking at her haggard face.

"Good morning... um?"

“Mr. Gu De, weren’t you…”

Asai Shigemi suddenly tensed up.

"I was worried and came back in the middle of the night."

“Miss Asai, I’m the kind of person who’s always happy to help others, as you can tell from my name.”
