Edogawa Conan never expected that he would meet Kuroki Jin again in a game, and more than a month had passed since the Sugitani Akira incident.
When he saw Kuroki Jin's figure in the crowd, he didn't even hand in the completed task. He rushed up and dragged the person into a dark alley.
Kuroki Jin almost thought he was going to be assassinated in the game.
After seeing who was coming, Kuroki couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth: "...You are afraid that we won't come to your door."
Conan used the face of Kudo Shinichi.
"I have made changes!" Conan angrily pointed to his hairstyle and eyebrows: "They have all been changed!"
Kuroki Jin: Actually, it doesn’t look like there’s been much change.
"Forget it." He was not the one in trouble, "Why are you looking for me?" He originally wanted to find a place to log off, but now it seems that he will probably have to chat for a while.
The two of them went to sit on a chair on the street. Conan asked: "What are you doing recently? How come there is no news at all?"
"What news do you want from me? Going to jail?" Kuroki Jin looked up at the sky, "Hasn't the great detective given up on the idea of arresting me?"
"...Can you speak properly?"
Kuroki Jin shut up, Conan opened his mouth not knowing what to say, and the two fell into a brief silence.
It was Kuroki Jin who spoke first: "To be honest, I'm not a good person."
"I know." Conan rubbed his face with both hands. This action would be cute if done by a child, but now that Conan is the height of Kudo Shinichi, it looks very weird.
"But I also know that there are some things you really can't control."
Conan had seen it with his own eyes when Kuroki Jin appeared at the Metropolitan Police Department. He said that he only had one breath, which was the best thing to say. If Kurokawa Shuu hadn't happened to give a report on the details of a previous case at the Metropolitan Police Department,
It is estimated that Kuroki Jin could not survive the journey from the Metropolitan Police Department to the hospital.
At that time, Conan understood that from the moment it happened, Kuroki Jin actually only had this choice.
As he got to know more and more people, and became more and more involved with the black organization, Conan was able to put himself in the other party's situation when he was rational. Therefore, when all parties accepted that he died in a violent gang fight,
, he didn’t stand up and say anything.
Just like when Miyano Akemi died, he never told her that the person who killed her was involved in a mysterious organization.
"But if it happens again, I will still stop you." Conan said this. The only one he can restrain is himself.
"Whatever." This result is already very good for Kuroki Jin. At least there won't be a guy chasing after him and shouting "surrender yourself, surrender yourself quickly".
The two of them finally talked the matter over. Conan didn't ask where those children, including Taiga Eunari, went, and Jin Kuroki didn't ask what happened to Shuichi Akai, Toru Amuro, and others over the past month or so.
"Oh, by the way," Conan seemed to suddenly remember something and stood up from his chair, "Our class has a new head teacher. Have you heard Haiyuan mention it?"
"No."
"I feel like there's something wrong with her. She's as careless as I am, and one of her eyes seems to be invisible."
"Um?"
Conan stared at his every expression: "What, do you have any impression of this person?"
Kuroki Ren recalled it for a moment, but still shook his head: "No, I probably haven't heard of it."
Conan just asked. At present, the new teacher has no other suspicions. Instead of paying attention to her, it is better to focus on Boben, who is suspected of being a police officer.
It's just that after thinking about it again and again, he still didn't tell Kuroki Jin about it and kept the secret deep in his heart.
When they separated, Kuroki asked again: "What is the name of the teacher you are talking about?"
"Wakasa Rumi." Conan replied without thinking.
What Kuroki Jin didn't expect was that he would soon meet Rumi Wakasa. To be precise, the latter should have been waiting for him on purpose.
One day after school, Haibara Ai was put on duty, and she didn't want to go play football with a few other children, so she made an excuse to let them all leave first. When Kuroki Ren found out, he said he would come pick her up and go together.
Have dinner.
The duty was over at that time, and Haibara Ai should be the only one in the whole classroom, but when Kuroki Ren went out with her, he saw someone standing in the corridor.
"Teacher Wakasa?" Haibara Ai looked confused and looked through the light from the setting sun outside the window to identify the person.
Rumi Wakasa leaned forward slightly, and most of the strange aura on her body was gone. She smiled and said, "Haihara-san is leaving so late? This is..." She looked up at Jin Kuroki again.
"Heimuren." Heimuren reported his name and walked one meter away: "I used to open a shop near here, and I am familiar with the children here, and the same goes for Xiao Ai."
Only then did he see the appearance of the person he was wearing. He had long black hair, bangs on both ends of his forehead, silver-rimmed glasses, and slightly darker lipstick. He was wearing a green long-sleeved dress with a collar, and black shoes at his feet.
Wearing low-heeled shoes, the overall stature of the person is only slightly shorter than that of Kuroki Jin.
Kuroki Ren visually estimated that her net height can reach 170cm.
"Oh?" Wakasa Rumi's eyes were sharp, "I seem to have heard Mr. Kuroki's name... Is the store you opened the candy house that has closed down?"
"Yes." Kuroki Jin admitted, his gaze swept over Rumi Wakasa's somewhat dull right eye.
Wakasa Rumei said: "It's a pity. I would like to try boss Kuroki's craftsmanship, but it's a pity that you have closed down your business."
Kuroki Jin put his hand into his arms. He watched as Rumi Wakasa stiffened and was about to take action in the next second. He smiled and said: "I happen to have the finished product here. If Teacher Wakasa doesn't mind, you can try it."
Rumi Wakasa took it, and their hands intertwined without touching each other.
"Haihara-san should also go home early." Rumi Wakasa squatted down and said to Haibara Ai. The latter nodded obediently, and she turned and left.
Kuroki Jin noticed that Rumi Wakasa squeezed her hands very tightly, as if she was enduring something...
"Blackwood?"
"Huh?" Heimuren came back to his senses: "We are leaving too, let me think about what to eat..."
“Except hotpot.”
"Hey - how did you know I wanted to eat hot pot?"
"..."
The two of them walked further and further away, and in the shadow-shrouded Didan Elementary School, a figure kept staring at them and disappeared.
Rumi Wakasa withdrew her gaze and spread her hands. The hard candy that Kuroki Jin had given her had been crushed into several pieces by her. Then she took out the pocket under her skirt and took out a small house-like one from it.
The wooden block, with the word "Kakugo" engraved on it, is a shogi piece, and there is a scratch on the edge.
The image of the man from many years ago came to mind, and in the end she just held the shogi piece gently and gently.
