Chapter 111 Who comes first? The FBI without friends
In the end, the two baby sharks took photos with Hasegawa Yu separately.
Although none of the three people in the photo use their real faces.
Just as Hasegawa Yu was looking through the photos he had taken, a scream was heard not far away.
"ah!"
A figure passed by his side first, and Hasegawa Yu hurriedly followed Matsuda Jinpei's pace.
Seeing this, Akai Shuichi raised his eyebrows and walked slowly behind them.
When he arrived at the source of the sound, Hasegawa Yu saw Kudo Shinichi squatting beside a corpse, looking through a handkerchief for clues.
He blinked and didn't move forward, leaving the scene to professionals.
Matsuda Jinpei, who had also been around the body, came back and briefly informed the young man, "It's a murder."
Hasegawa Yuu frowned slightly and asked worriedly, "How could something like this happen on an airship?"
Don’t we all come here to have fun?
There really are murders everywhere in the world of Collapse, Hasegawa Yu shook his head.
After learning that it was just a corpse that caused the screams, most of the onlookers left as if it had nothing to do with them. The only ones left at the crime scene were a few acquaintances who had recovered their memories of the original world.
Since there were no police on the airship, the passengers were basically unwilling to cooperate with Kudo Shinichi, who appeared out of nowhere, in investigating the case. The progress of clues was once stagnant, and even the suspect could not be identified.
The passerby who screamed earlier even asked the airship to compensate him for his mental damages as he was frightened.
It was not until Suzuki Sonoko, a family member of the airship owner, stepped forward that the passengers reluctantly cooperated with the investigation.
Kudo Shinichi scratched his hair in frustration. He really could never get used to the attitude of the people in the Collapse World towards the case.
Another person who wanted to grab the passengers' hair was Jinpei Matsuda. If he hadn't been in disguise and wanted to avoid attracting too much attention, he would have probably used his fists to threaten the passengers to cooperate.
Although Brother Zhenping says he dislikes Shinichi, he actually still helps him.
Hasegawa Yu, who helped to identify the suspect, was relieved.
"Those two are very positive."
Akai Shuichi, who was following Hasegawa Yu, sighed, "Qin Luo really likes them more."
“…”
Hasegawa Yu, who had deliberately pulled the person to his side to prevent him from talking and disrupting the other two while they were working on the case, puffed up his face and said, "Maybe that's how Mr. Okiya sees it."
After all, the only memory of Xiuyi-ge spending time with him is from this week.
"But to me, Okiya-san is also a very important friend," he explained seriously, "and I like him just as much."
"……oh?"
Akai Shuichi paused for a moment, "But I just want Qianluo to give me a ranking? Qianluo treats everyone the same, which makes me feel insecure."
Hasegawa Yu: “?”
Akai Shuichi sighed and complained in a half-truthful way, "It makes me feel like Chiro treats a random stranger who needs help the same way he treats me."
Hasegawa Yu: “???”
Hasegawa Yu skillfully ignored the strange words in the conversation and tried to sort out the logic.
Come to think of it, I've known Xiuyi for so long, and he always seemed to be a loner.
Everyone else has a childhood friend or a girlfriend or something.
Thinking of this, Hasegawa Yu suddenly realized.
He understood!
The specific situation of the original world is unclear, but in the collapsed world, it seems that Xiuyi is the only friend. And he has many friends here, so Xiuyi would say such a thing!
After believing he had the answer, Hasegawa Yuu did not comment on Akai Shuichi's lone wolf character, but instead said: "If I have to rank them, Noah is number one!"
Noah's Ark heard the mermaid's words: [~^_^]
It is impossible to hide the fact that he lied and ranked Shuichi first. Although it may increase Shuichi's sense of insecurity, Hasegawa Yu still chose to tell the truth.
"Brother Shuichi's ranking in my class is on par with Shinichi."
Akai Shuichi accepted his loss to an AI in the rankings quite well. "Excluding Noah's Ark, who among us ranks first?"
"Hmm..." Hasegawa Yu really wanted to say that everyone was the same, but he swallowed the words in the end.
"Zero, Zero brother." He hesitated, "I would choose Zero brother."
It's that Bourbon guy.
Akai Shuichi pushed his glasses up calmly and said, "Based on personality, I thought it would be Scotland."
However, the Scotsman is a dagger in disguise and ruthlessly deceives people, while the Bourbon is insidious, cunning, and sweet-mouthed. The two are equally matched.
"Compared to them, I'm very open and honest. How could I not be ranked first among Qianluo?"
He sighed as if disappointed, "I understand. So Qian Luo likes this type."
Hasegawa Yu: “???”
What do you understand now?
No random understanding allowed!
Hasegawa Yu decided to rudely ignore Akai Shuichi's words.
But before I ignore him, there's one thing I want to emphasize. "Mr. Okiya, it's ok since we're the only two here, but you should be more careful with your words when you're around others."
"It would be bad if someone who doesn't know the inside story misunderstood what you said about liking someone as a lover."
Akai Shuichi: "..."
After emphasizing this, Hasegawa Yoshinobu nodded, "There's still one room left for the guest to inquire about. Mr. Okiya, we need to hurry."
Akai Shuichi remained silent and followed his footsteps.
"I was resting in my room when the incident happened. The airship was flying higher than I expected, which made me feel a little uncomfortable."
The male guest in the last room said so.
Hasegawa Yu's ears twitched slightly and he pursed his lips.
It's Vermouth.
"Are you two police officers?"
The male guest disguised as Vermouth asked knowingly, his eyes scanning the two of them inconspicuously, "Detective?"
Oh, Bourbon’s little sweetheart is here too. Could it be that Bourbon sent her up here to play?
Vermouth thought without any emotion, what bad luck.
"It's the detective's assistant."
Akai Shuichi, who had keenly noticed something unusual, replied, "Seeing that the high school student was having a hard time being alone, we had nothing to do, so we came to help."
Upon hearing this, Vermouth's eyes flickered slightly. A high school student... The airship belongs to Suzuki... Could it be Shinichi?
What game was he playing again? She couldn't help but wonder, as Shinichi rarely came to places like this before.
"High school student?"
All these thoughts flashed through her mind in a flash. Vermouth crossed her arms, a look of disdain on her face. "Is he playing house?"
"The deceased is so pitiful." She said sarcastically, and then prepared to close the door indifferently, "I have said everything I need to say. Don't disturb my rest anymore."
Neither of the two people outside the door stopped her.
When the door in front of him was closed, Hasegawa Yu immediately took out his cell phone and informed the two people who were investigating the case on the other side of the case.
When sending the message, Hasegawa Yu did not avoid Akai Shuichi, so the latter also saw the message on the screen.
"Ho~" Akai Shuichi showed an interested expression, "Vermouth."
Hasegawa Yuu was alert, "Mr. Okiya also has a grudge against Vermouth?"
"Don't be nervous, Chiro." Akai Shuichi soothed, looking unconvinced, "In the organization, it's Gin who fights me more often."
Hasegawa Yuu glanced at him suspiciously and said, "Let's go meet up with Mr. Kana and the others first."
After the two parties met again, Kudo Shinichi said with a serious expression, "Just now, Vermouth sent a message, implicitly reminding me to bring my parachute."
There was originally a plan to have a high-altitude skydiving project on the airship, but it was cancelled after comprehensive consideration of environmental factors after it took off. However, there were about ten parachutes prepared.
This amount is definitely not enough for the entire airship's passengers.
Hasegawa Yu looked down at the new message that Furuya Rei suddenly sent, "Zero-brother also received a message from Vermouth, he said he would help test it."
I guess she was gloating over the possibility that her "boyfriend" might die.
Hasegawa Yuu couldn't help but stare blankly, "Is the airship going to explode again?"
Ever since I came to this world, no matter where I go or who I play with, something messy always seems to happen in the end.
Tokyo in the collapsed world is so dangerous!
"Ahem." Matsuda Jinpei cleared his throat. "We can't just sit there and wait for death while Bourbon is gathering intelligence."
The people in disguise were not in a position to step forward and could only help in secret, so the main task fell on Kudo Shinichi.
After a while, after completing the test, Fūya Rei sent another message, saying that Vermouth was doing an ordinary mission, and blowing up the airship was a by-product of destroying some traces. It had been arranged long ago and could not be withdrawn.
When this message was received, the airship was shaking. Looking out of the window, thick smoke could be seen billowing out of the tail of the airship.
The bomb was placed outside the airship.
The airship's flight route is to circle Japan, then fly to the Pacific Ocean, and finally return directly to Beika Town.
It was still early and the airship had just flown over Yokohama.
Fortunately, Yokohama is very close to the sea, and with proper operation, it can be safely landed on the sea.
Perhaps because of the presence of Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Ran, before leaving the airship with the parachute in the chaos, Vermouth had a trick up her sleeve and did not lock the door of the airship control room.
When the few people arrived, except for the unconscious driver, all the facilities in the control room were intact.
Seeing this, Noah's Ark took over the control room.
Part of the airship's stabilization device was blown off, and amidst the violent turbulence, Hasegawa Yu found his seat and secured himself. "There must be some cursed magic in this world that will cause large-scale multi-person amusement parks to explode!"
He muttered, "Collapse World, bad review!"
I didn’t finish watching the musical last time, let alone visiting the aquarium twice, and I didn’t even take the airship to the Pacific Ocean this time!
Kudo Shinichi, who had experienced escaping from skyscraper explosions several times in his original world before coming here, looked away.
Haha, compared to this, the original world seems to be similar.
Matsuda Jinpei, who had also experienced many bombings, looked at him vaguely, "It was an accident. It was an accident."
Akai Shuichi, who had not yet recovered his memories of the original world, took the opportunity to say, "Qi Luo, next time we can go somewhere with fewer people to play alone."
Matsuda Jinpei: “?”
Who said "we" to you? He's still here, what are you planning?
Hasegawa Yuu was thinking that Xiuyi-ge didn't have a good relationship with the others, so it was normal that he only wanted to go out with his friend alone, so he agreed calmly, "Okay."
Matsuda Jinpei: “???”
Facing Matsuda Jinpei's incredulous gaze, Hasegawa Yuu thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Kanna, why don't we try a less crowded musical theater?"
I didn’t even finish the last concert with Brother Zhenping.
Jinpei Matsuda:.
Is this the point?!
Matsuda Jinpei nodded, "Okay."
Shinichi Kudo, who witnessed everything, was hesitant to speak.
Will there really be no problems, Xiaoyou?
Regardless of whether there would be any problems, the airship successfully landed on the sea without any danger.
After returning to land and arriving home, Shuichi Akai fainted shortly afterwards.
Of course, it wasn't because he was frightened, but because he wanted to recover his memories of the original world.
An hour later, Shuichi Akai opened his eyes.
"Brother Xiuyi, you're awake." Hasegawa Yu looked at him expectantly, "How do you feel?"
Shuichi Akai sat up on the bed with one hand, his face looking normal.
After a while, he brought up the topic from the airship. "I still think Scotland has a better character than Bourbon."
I didn't expect Bourbon to be an undercover Japanese police officer.
"?"
Hasegawa Yu hesitated, "If Xiuyi wants to make friends with Jingguang, I can help you ask him out?"
He added, "But Rei and Jingguang are childhood friends, so Jingguang might refuse."
The first thing I thought about when I woke up was this. Brother Xiuyi really cares about making friends.
Hasegawa Yu patted his chest and said, "I will do my best to help you. Go ahead and attack, brother Xiuyi!"
Akai Shuichi: "."
