Conan: Another Famous Detective

"My request is very simple." Kuroda's tone was still calm: "I think there are some misunderstandings between us. In view of your recent actions, I hope to meet in person to resolve the misunderstanding."

"Oh? Misunderstanding?" Ruo Sa, or rather Asaka, sneered: "Who knows what you are worried about when you ask me to meet you at this time?"

"I just don't want you to do something irreversible." Kuroda replied: "Our goals should be the same."

After a pause, he added: "You don't have to worry about anything. You can decide the time and place of the meeting."

"Is that so? It seems quite sincere!" Qianxiang replied in a neutral tone.

"So, what do you mean?" Kuroda asked.

Qianxiang pondered for a while, and suddenly showed a playful smile: "Want to meet? Yes, but you must agree to some conditions."

"Tell me about it. If it's not too much, I won't refuse." Kuroda replied.

Asaka was silent for two seconds and then said: "First of all, I hate being stared at all the time, so all your men who are monitoring me must evacuate, and no one can be left behind!"

"Okay. You won't see anyone again within ten minutes after the call ends." Kuroda readily agreed without much hesitation.

This attitude made Asaka a little surprised, and she even instinctively suspected whether the other party had other conspiracies.

But this was her misunderstanding, Kuroda didn't intend to play any tricks.

He saw the whole thing very thoroughly and understood that if Asaka really wanted to run away, it wouldn't make much difference whether he sent someone to monitor her or not.

It's better to use this to show sincerity.

"Second condition, I don't want to see anyone other than you at the meeting place who shouldn't be there."

"No problem, I will come alone." Kuroda's attitude was still neat.

"Okay, let's meet at the gate of Didan Elementary School at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon." Asaka said calmly.

"Then we'll see you there then." Kuroda said in a calm tone.

"Ha! I hope you won't be late again!" Asaka said with undisguised sarcasm, and hung up the phone directly.

…………

At 3:30 pm the next day, in front of Didan Primary School.

The guard on duty opened the door and let out a group of children who had crowded at the school gate early.

For a moment, the sound of children's play quickly spread to the entire street.

Some parents waiting at the school gate greeted their children.

However, this phenomenon is only a minority. Most children go home in twos and threes.

Among the adults who came to pick up the children, two of them seemed out of place. Some children even subconsciously avoided them when they saw them.

Kuroda noticed the reaction of the children and turned slightly to look at Asaka: "As a primary school teacher, you asked me to meet here, aren't you afraid of scaring the children?"

Asaka responded with an unclear smile: "As the manager of the 1st Investigation Section that fights against criminals, you will never let these cute children get hurt, right?"

Kuroda frowned, then slowly relaxed, nodding slightly: "So? Are you going to talk here?"

"Of course not." Asaka gently shook her index finger: "The playground at Didan Elementary School is very nice. I am happy to catch up with old friends there."

Kuroda didn't answer, just made a gesture of invitation.

Afterwards, the two of them arrived at the gate of Didan Primary School side by side, and were stopped by security guards as expected.

"Who are you?" The security guard looked at the two of them warily, especially when he looked at Kuroda, the tension on his face could not be suppressed.

Asaka had obviously expected it. She quickly stepped forward and said with a smile on her face: "I am a teacher in this school. The person next to me is a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department. He said he wanted to go to the school to investigate some things."

She looked at Kuroda: "Officer, please show him your police ID card and let him see it."

Kuroda raised his eyebrows slightly, then took out his police ID card from his pocket and showed it to the guard. He said calmly: "I am Kuroda from the Metropolitan Police Department. I need to go to the school to conduct some investigations."

The guard was shocked when he saw the position column on the police officer's certificate, and his attitude immediately became panicked: "It turns out to be Police Officer Kuroda. Do you need me to inform the school leaders?"

Kuroda shook his head: "No, I'm just doing a small favor for a friend. It's better not to disturb the leaders of your school."

"Okay, okay, I wish you all the best, officer." The guard said, stepping aside and gesturing for the two of them to go in.

The two of them entered the school and, led by Asaka, came to the school playground.

There were still some students on the playground at this time, but it looked like they were ready to leave.

The two of them came to sit on a bench next to the playground, and just looked at the children who were about to leave in silence, without anyone speaking.

Until the figure of the last child disappeared from sight, Asaka finally spoke: "Why did you ask me to meet?"

"I've only seen you doing some pretty dangerous things recently. In order to prevent you from making a big mistake, I came here to have a chat with you." Kuroda said calmly.

"Oh? Dangerous things, for example?" Asaka asked with a smile.

"There are only two of us here and now. There is no point in pretending to be stupid. You should be able to feel my sincerity."

"You are indeed very sincere." Asaka had to admit this.

Kuroda canceled the surveillance on her as promised. She did not find any other suspicious people just now. When entering the school gate, Kuroda also showed his police officer ID card in cooperation, leaving a deep impression on the guard.

This is why Asaka is willing to bring Kuroda here for further contact.

If Kuroda dares to play any tricks, she will leave without hesitation.

This is also the reason why Wakasa deliberately chose to meet at the gate of the elementary school.

After all, Kuroda has a public retrial, and his characteristics are so obvious that it would not be a wise move to attack him in front of a group of children.

"Since you feel my sincerity, I think you should be more honest." Kuroda said calmly.

"Okay, so what? What is the administrator's attitude towards the [dangerous] things I did?" Asaka asked.

"As long as you hand over the dangerous goods in your hands and give up your original plan, I can pretend that nothing happened." Kuroda said calmly.

"Oh? Give up the plan?" Asaka asked, with a sarcastic smile on her lips:

"I remember very clearly, seventeen years ago, when I woke up, you were standing next to his body."

"And your cell phone even recorded the news of your mother's death!"

"What did you, a Japanese special police officer, do there?"

Hearing this, Kuroda was silent for a while and said: "I and the guys who killed them are definitely not the same group. You should have known this a long time ago."

"Ha!" Asaka chuckled and said, "Yes! Then, you just watched the mother you had arranged to meet with be killed, and watched Rum enter Koji's room in a grand manner?"

Hearing this, Kuroda fell silent again.
