Even though it's far, let's walk for a while - Kondo walked forward with determination.

"That!" He heard the female voice from behind him, and he couldn't help but look back.

"I came here by car, if you don't mind..." said the woman. This person was Kanae.

"Thank you so much."

Kondo sat in the car and told Kanae how he came to the hospital. Although he had lost his memory and couldn't remember anything, all signs showed that his name was Sakurai, he was 35 years old, and he was going back to his home, but he had no impression of his home at all...

"Judging from the address...it should be the second floor here."

"Thank you."

The apartment that Kanae brought him to was a very old building. The interior of the room was a mess, with instant noodle cups and garbage piled all over the floor.

What kind of job do I do? Kondo tried hard to recall the name Sakurai.

However, Sakurai Takeshi was actually someone else. This person replaced Kondo's identity for some purpose and caused some events afterwards, but these are all later stories...

……

The magazine "VIP" introduces an item to everyone every month - for example, salt, fountain pens and other items as the theme, introducing the most advanced items to everyone. Kanae is the editor-in-chief of this magazine.

One day, Kanae announced to the editorial staff that she was getting married, saying that she had registered on many marriage introduction or matchmaking websites, hoping that everyone could introduce her to a good partner. She was not a sociable person...or rather, her serious personality was the other extreme. Even with such a personality, she worked very hard to participate in many matchmaking meetings and made her own efforts to get married.

Kanae, who is serious about her work and has a mysophobia, writes down all her decisions in a notebook she carries with her and works hard to make them come true. According to her plan, she needs to select a candidate within a month, and after a month of dating... she will hold a wedding on the Da'an Day two months later. All of this is so that her father, who has little time left, can see her bridal look while she is still alive.

It was at this time that Kondo and Kanae met at the hospital gate. Kanae also kindly helped Kondo find clues about past memories and gradually understood Kondo's character.

Although he has lost his memory, Kondo is still a serious and hard-working person with a very smart mind.

After losing his memory, the first thing Kondo did was to check the amount of cash he had on him and bought the cheapest pen and notebook in the hospital store.

Kondo wrote down items such as "people I've come into contact with," "things in the room," "future life," "necessary items," "personality," and "favorite things" in his notebook, and began to methodically search for his memories as Takeshi Sakurai.

Kanae soon noticed Kondo's serious temperament and considered him as a candidate for her marriage partner.

Although Kondo still hasn't recovered his previous memories, the relationship between him and Kanae is getting closer and closer... When Kanae proposed to him, although he was a little confused, he still accepted it.

However, Kanae was unable to let her father see her in her wedding dress, and just a few days later, Kanae's father passed away.

On the night of the funeral, Kanae brought Kondo to her home and took out a classical music record from her father's belongings for Kondo to listen to. The classical music on the record was Beethoven's string quartet.

Kondo's head tightened when he heard this song. Yes, this is the song Kondo often listened to in the car stereo. Before he lost his memory, when he pretended to kill the company president, he also listened to this song in the car.

After regaining his memory, Kondo ran away from Kanae's house without saying a word. When he returned to his real home and waited for a while, he met the real Sakurai Takeshi.

Sakurai has squandered all the money Kondo hid in the apartment. In addition, he accepted the commission of the gang leader to kill the company president's lover without authorization. Driven by his half-hearted sense of justice, he is ready to let the target go. He uses Kondo's money to buy a house for the president's lover to hide...

.However, Kondo will ultimately have to clean up this mess himself.

After realizing his own true nature, Kondo didn't want to involve Kanae, so he proposed a breakup.

However, Kanae has always followed Kondo's footsteps, and Kondo has fallen in love with Kanae unknowingly and can no longer leave her side.

In the end, the trouble caused by Sakurai was resolved safely, and Kondo and Kanae got together. Kondo also planned to quit his previous job, packed up his things and prepared to find a new ordinary job...

But at this moment, he received a final commission that he could not refuse, which was the commission to transport the goods.

As long as I finish this matter, I can live happily with Kanae...

However.....

While thinking about the six months he had spent with Kanae, Kondo pretended to read a newspaper while looking towards the entrance of the bathhouse.

At this moment, a man wearing sunglasses, who did not look like an amateur, entered his field of vision. The man observed the surrounding environment, took out the key from his coat pocket and opened a locker, in which he could see the backpack with the cookie box that Kondo had put in last night.

He is a dragon who acts according to circumstances.

Kondo immediately realized the man's identity. As long as he watched Long take the item away, Kondo's job would be over. Kondo couldn't wait to get rid of this commission, and couldn't help but pray in his heart that Long would take the item away quickly...

"I say!" Conan, holding a glass of fruit milk in his hand, spoke to Long.

Long hastily closed the locker door.

"Is this locker just for uncle?"

"Well... that's what it is." Long replied.

Then Conan said a few words to the people in the women's bathhouse, and then walked towards the bathroom again. Just as he entered the bathroom, Conan stepped on a piece of soap, his feet slipped and flew into the air, and he fell heavily and hit his head. Just like Kondo that day...

"Little boy, are you okay?" The men in the bathroom surrounded Conan.

"I'll take the child to the hospital, please help me." Long walked out of the crowd and came to Kondo's side anxiously.

Chapter 192

Isn't my work finished?

Kondo thought so, but when he heard Long's sincere request, he had no choice but to pick up Conan and put him in his car.

At that time, Kondo thought that Conan was just an ordinary little boy who came to the bathhouse to take a bath. Because of this, he couldn't let this child get involved in this incident. Falling in the bathhouse and losing his memory is exactly the same as himself half a year ago. Therefore, he also wanted to help Conan regain his memory from the bottom of his heart and send him back to his family safely.

But Conan looked strange... Was he pretending to have lost his memory?

He noticed this when he picked up Conan from the sofa in the abandoned factory, and saw a round pill falling out of the hole in the sofa. This was the sleeping pill that Key House Amaru had just fed Conan.

Since he didn't take the pill... could it be that Conan was very aware of the adults' actions? And why did he talk to Ryu in the bathhouse? Wasn't he just an ordinary child?

Kondo immediately noticed all this and picked up the sleeping pills and put them in his pocket for future use.

It was the night when Nana, Conan and I arrived at the lakeside villa.

It was late at night when Kondo pulled into the garage. It had been such a long day.

Kondo picked up the sleeping Conan from the car and took him into the bedroom. The bedroom in the villa was very spacious and the bed was very soft.

Just now, there seemed to be a yellow Beetle following her. Nana, alerted, called someone and then the Beetle disappeared from the rearview mirror. Nana lifted her bangs and showed a sinister smile on her face.

What a terrible woman, it seems I can't resist her. Although he was very eager to let Conan run away, he had to hide it from Nana's eyes.

Uncle will definitely let you escape.

Looking at Conan's sleeping face, Kondo couldn't help but say silently in his heart. Then, he walked out of the bedroom and looked for Nana. Nana opened a bottle of wine in the kitchen and poured it into a glass.

"Fell asleep?"

"Ah."

"Stay here until dawn," Nana said, and then raised her glass as if asking, "Do you want a drink?"

"I'll have a cup too." Kondo walked to the shelf and took out a cup himself.

"You are quite calm, you are really a hero."

"There's no point in scrambling at this time."

Nana smiled coldly and poured wine into Kondo's glass.

After drinking with Nana, Kondo came to Conan's sleeping room again, sat on a chair, and stared at Conan's back quietly for a while...

"You're not actually asleep, are you?" He whispered to Conan, but Conan didn't respond.

"I gave the pill you threw to that woman. She is now asleep. Don't be afraid. I'll let you go. Get up quickly and don't make any noise." Kondo walked towards the bed.

"...Then what will you do, uncle?" Conan asked, still with his back to Kondo.

"Hey?"

"You were threatened and used by someone, right?"

How come this kid can't even do this... Kondo was silent for a moment in surprise, then nodded in affirmation.

"The thing in the backpack in the locker at the bathhouse is a bomb, right?"

"Hey?"

"The bomb was disguised as a cookie box. I saw it on the news... Uncle Quan, do you really know nothing about their purpose?"

Kondo felt that Conan had opened his eyes, but he didn't look in his direction at all.

"...Many people have been used, but no one knows the real plan...so uncle must find the worst person. Run away from here to the police..."

"If I disappear, uncle, you will be suspected." Conan interrupted Kondo.

That’s true, it seems that this little boy is quite smart.

"And..." Conan said halfway, then suddenly fell silent and closed his eyes - because he heard the sound of the doorknob turning.

"Hello!"

Then the door opened and a man wearing glasses and dressed in sportswear poked his head out.

"Are you the famous Mr. Kondo?" the man asked in a flattering manner.

"Who are you?" Kondo frowned.

"I am your partner."

"..."

"My name is M."

"You are..." Kondo looked carefully at the man in front of him.

"Unfortunately, I'm not the leader." M shrugged jokingly.

"Use this thing to watch him from now on, and you can go and have a rest."

M placed a small camera on the bookshelf. It was better to do as he said. Kondo glanced at Conan, who still had his back to him, looking like he was asleep. So Kondo followed M and left the bedroom.

Nana woke up to the ringing of her cell phone. Maybe she drank too much, she actually fell asleep on the kitchen table. Although her head was still a little heavy, she stood up and answered the phone.

"Hello, how are you... um."

In the morning, when Kondo came to the kitchen to check the situation, he happened to see Nana coming down the stairs. She informed Kondo that she had received instructions and asked him to be ready.

The next instruction was for Kondo to take Conan out.

"Where are you going?"

Kondo asked about the specific location, and Nana said the words "Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse".

"Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse?"

"Well, the kid has a ticket for an event in his pocket. It seems that there will be many children participating, and it asks you to take him with you. His memory has not been restored, right?"

"...Ahh."

"That's good."

Not knowing what she meant by this, Kondo just looked at Nana's face silently. Suddenly, Nana raised her chin and smiled maliciously:

"If you were asked to get rid of this child, what would you do?"

"..."

Kondo said nothing, just frowned and continued looking at Nana.

After a while, Conan woke up and Nana helped him get dressed. She asked Conan to call her mother, as if Kondo was the father of the child and Conan was their only child. In the plan, they were going to pretend to be a family of three.

While Nana was leaving the bedroom, Kondo hugged Conan comfortingly, and then whispered in Conan's ear: "You will be saved, just pretend to have amnesia."

"My uncle is the famous detective Maori Kogoro... He must have known who the worst guy is." Conan whispered.

"Eh……"

"Although it will be later than him, but I also know it."

"...!"

Kondo felt a shock in his chest.

……

Two men arrived at the reception desk of Youwentang Publishing House.

"We're looking for the editor of The Shocking Truth magazine."

"Yes, please..."
