Conan: When I Be Gin's Brother

It's three o'clock in the morning, dead of night.

The sound of waves crashing against the cliff could be clearly heard all night long.

The sound is loud, but it does not disturb people. On the contrary, it can make people sleep more soundly, and they can also dream of a little bit of the coolness of the sea breeze in the hot summer.

The sound of the waves also covered up some other sounds.

"Squeak..."

A dark figure walked out of the room lightly. Although he tried his best not to make any sound, the old wooden door still let out a tired groan.

However, masked by the sound of the waves, the creaking of the wooden door became inaudible.

Kurosawa Rin was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt. The hood covered his blond hair that shone under the moonlight. He walked lightly towards the room of Boss Kanaya that he had explored before.

It was now three o'clock in the morning, and he was going to steal the "A Study in Scarlet" according to his previous plan.

The door is locked, but unlocking is Kurosawa Rin's max-level skill.

Turning his fingertips slightly, Kurosawa Rin pulled out a piece of wire from somewhere, and lightly poked the door lock twice.

"Crack."

The door opened slowly, and there was another small creaking sound. Kurosawa Rin walked into Boss Kanaya's room and gently closed the door.

With the moonlight faintly filtering through the curtains, Kurosawa Rin looked around, barely able to see clearly into the dark room.

The furnishings in the room are very similar to those of Kurosawa Rin and Narumi, except that there is one less bed and some more boxes and safes.

Um?

No one on the bed?

Kurosawa Rin was a little surprised. He went to the bathroom specifically before coming. There was no one in the bathroom. In the middle of the night, if Boss Kanaya was not sleeping in his room, where else could he go?

Forget it, don't worry about this...

His purpose is just to steal books. What about Boss Jin Gu? Whether he is sleepwalking has nothing to do with him.

Inside the box are some surveillance camera models, which should be the ones installed in everyone's room. The production date on the box turned out to be eight years ago. I have to say that the efficiency of reuse is also extremely high.

He immediately locked his sights on the safe, which was the place where "A Study in Scarlet" was most likely to be kept.

The method of unlocking the safe may be a little more troublesome, but it was not a problem for Kurosawa Rin. He took a deep breath, held the wire in one hand, and pressed his ear tightly against the side wall of the safe, listening to the sound of the clever action inside.

, holding the wire between his fingers and making extremely subtle movements, such as hooking, poking, or picking.

Soon, a snapping sound was heard from inside, then the sound of gears turning, and the door of the safe popped open.

"safe~"

Kurosawa Rin raised his lips in pleasure, the process was much simpler than he imagined~

But he obviously couldn't be happy for long...

"Where's my book???" He looked at the empty safe with a confused look on his face.

Did he put the book somewhere else instead of in the safe?

His good mood suddenly collapsed like a landslide, so Kurosawa Rin was unwilling to search around the room, and finally confirmed that there was no "Study in Scarlet" in the room. Not only that, he also wanted to take away the mess he had just made.

The place was restored to its original state...

After working in vain all night and achieving nothing, Kurosawa Rin depressingly fixed all the traces, even his own hair. After restoring everything to its original state, he left Kanaya's boss's room dejectedly.

"Could it be that Boss Jingu went on a tryst with someone with a book?"

"Or did you happen to be holding a book while sleepwalking?"

"Could it be constipation? I took the book to the bathroom and read it. Didn't I notice it?"

Although it was pitch black in the middle of the night, Kurosawa Rin felt that reading in this environment might be a bit hard on the eyes, but was it possible that someone would have such a hobby?

Just as a precaution, Kurosawa Rin went to the bathroom again and took a look at every hole in the door.

I found that there was really no one in the cubicle.

"That's weird. These places are not here. Why can't you go out for a walk with a book in the middle of the night??" Kurosawa Rin was immersed in his own thoughts, always feeling that there was some possibility.

"Sure enough, why don't we go out and take a look?" After hesitating for a moment, he returned to his room, opened the window of the room and turned outside, walking towards the surrounding forest and garage.

However, just a second after Kurosawa Rin returned to his room, Hattori Heiji quietly opened the door to his room, looking at the bathroom and then at Kurosawa Rin's room from time to time.

The expression is very solemn...

What did he just see???

That blond boy, Kurosawa Rin... was actually opening the bathroom door and peeking inside furtively?

Hattori Heiji held his chin and thought about it carefully. He always felt that Kurosawa Rin didn't look like a pervert. After all, he was the one Kudo had admitted. There must be a reason for doing such a thing!

Suspecting that he was looking for something, he also stood on tiptoes with suspicion, held open the bathroom door, and looked inside with the same perspective as Kurosawa Rin.

But he didn't realize that Conan was standing silently behind him after getting up at night.

A look of shock...

…………

After Kurosawa Rin came outside, he couldn't find any trace of Kanaya's boss around, so he walked around the house and went to the garage nearby.

However, what he found in the garage was the already cold body of Boss Jin Gu.

He died in one of the cars, sitting in the driver's seat. He was wearing the same detective uniform and beret. Judging from the marks on his neck, he was strangled, but because of the high collar and beret of the detective uniform, he died.

Boss Jin Gu’s neck was already short and thick, and there were no signs of strangulation on the outside.

The corpse had begun to stiffen, with both hands firmly holding the steering wheel, the brakes under his feet, and heavy objects pressing on it. Just from this scene, Kurosawa Rin already knew what tricks the prisoner who killed Kanaya's boss wanted to play.

"He probably wanted to use the time of death to create an alibi..." Kurosawa Rin bit his nails, his face looking terrifyingly gloomy.

When I looked around the body just now, I didn't see the book "A Study in Scarlet". It must have been taken away by the prisoner who killed Jin Gu's boss.

"Is the other party's target also that book? Damn it... Why has it become so troublesome for a clearly simple request..."

Ah, unhappy, unhappy!

He has encountered a lot of things recently, and he is already very annoyed.

My memory has not been recovered, Gin's attitude has also changed, my magic has just made some progress, and I haven't had time to pay back the 20 million debt...

"Ah~ Really! I just want to make some money, why did I get involved in the murder case again!!" Kurosawa Rin irritably cleaned up the traces he left and restored the body to its original appearance.

"If you kill someone, kill someone; if you seek revenge, you must seek revenge... Why do you have to take the book away?!"

He must get this book.

He must get the book back!

He must find this damn murderer!!

"Ha...why do you have to hinder me..."

"I didn't want to cause trouble..."

A flash of scarlet blood flashed in his eyes.
