Conan: When I Be Gin's Brother

The school holidays are about to start.

Rin Kurosawa booked two train tickets to Osaka, intending to investigate his past.

This matter can no longer be postponed. He now vaguely feels that "Kurosawa Rin"'s past is a bomb that will explode at any time.

Whether it was his often out-of-control emotions or his foggy past, it all gave him a bad premonition.

Kurosawa Rin is not the kind of person who can just sit back and wait for danger when danger comes.

He will take his destiny into his own hands.

Therefore, just after their vacation, Kurosawa Rin and Narumi packed their luggage and headed to Osaka immediately the next day.

The two set off from Tokyo at 8 a.m. and arrived in Osaka at noon.

After putting his luggage in the hotel he booked in advance, Kurosawa Rin asked Narumi to rent a car, and based on the address he had investigated before, he came to the place where Sugime Aki died in the car accident.

This is a sharp turn downhill. On the opposite side of the road is a row of businesses, which are a bit messy. On the side of the street where Kurosawa Rin and Narumi are, there is a construction site, filled with cement, sand, steel and bricks.

, rubbish and rubble are everywhere.

The information records the events of the car accident in detail.

Around six o'clock on Sunday night.

Sugime Aki entered the convenience store across the street to buy something, then crossed the street and came to where Kurosawa Rin and Narumi were.

According to records, it was a three-story tube building at that time, but in recent years it has been demolished and rebuilt due to urban reconstruction.

The construction site in front of us should be the Tongzi Tower from back then.

Kurosawa Rin recalled the information in that document. There were no photos at the time, so he could only rely on text descriptions to imagine and reconstruct the case.

Continue to restore.

Aki Sugime arrived in front of the building and entered the tube building. Ten minutes later, he quickly rushed from the building to the road and collided with a turning vehicle that was traveling downwards. He died on the spot.

Other than that there is no further information.

The sidewalk and traffic lights are just a hundred meters ahead. Sugime Aki ignored the traffic regulations and crossed the road without permission, causing the car accident.

When the vehicle was turning at that time, Aki Sugime, who was in the blind corner, could not be seen at all. To put it bluntly, Aki Sugime was solely responsible for the accident.

The vehicle involved in the accident had its license plate number, but trying to find that car in the vast city of Osaka was like finding a needle in a haystack, and it was impossible for Rin Kurosawa to do it with his current ability.

But soon, Kurosawa Rin found a key point.

convenience store.

The convenience store across the road seems to be the convenience store where Sugime Aki went to buy things.

The cashier counter faces the road, so if anyone had been there at the time, they would have noticed the car accident.

With the attitude of giving it a try, Kurosawa Rin went to the convenience store and bought a few bottles of water. When paying, he asked the middle-aged cashier at the counter.

"Auntie." Kurosawa Rin's voice was sweet.

"Huh?" The cashier was stunned and looked at Kurosawa Rin, "What's wrong?"

"Ten years ago, did aunty also work here?"

The cashier nodded, "Yes, I am the owner and cashier of this convenience store. I have been running this convenience store for fifteen years."

"Then do you still remember the car accident ten years ago?" Kurosawa Rin pointed sideways to the street, "It's right here."

The cashier looked over, frowned and thought hard, "Ten years ago..."

As if remembering, she nodded again, "I remember, there was indeed a car accident here ten years ago, and the person who was hit by the car seemed to have died at that time."

"The man had just bought something from the store before he was hit by a car. I didn't expect that he would be hit and killed by a car a short time later. It's scary to think about it..." The cashier was still frightened.

"Did she behave abnormally at that time?" Kurosawa Rin continued to ask.

The cashier thought for a while and said, "It was fine when she was buying things, but when she ran onto the road, her expression was very frightened, as if there was a monster chasing her from behind."

"Is that so..." Kurosawa Rin nodded, took the change, and left the convenience store with Narumi.

"Looking frightened?" Walking on the road, Narumi was also trying to think, wanting to help Kurosawa Rin.

"Did she see something?"

"Or is there someone chasing her from behind?"

Narumi raised several possibilities. Kurosawa Rin shook his head and looked solemn: "There is too little information, so we cannot understand what happened back then."

It's a pity that the two of them can't investigate anything at all, just like the license plate number... It would be great if a policeman could help at this time. Kurosawa Rin sighed, and Narumi came to the next location on the information.

.

Sugime Aki's residence during his lifetime.

Her residence is very far from the accident site.

Narumi drove for a while, first went to buy a hamster according to Kurosawa Rin's instructions, and then arrived at Sugime Aki's residence.

This is a neatly arranged single-family house with a garage in the back. There are also letters in the mailbox next to the door. There is no dust on the mailbox, which shows that it has been cleaned frequently.

There are obviously people living here.

Kurosawa Rin stuffed the hamster in the cage into his pocket and stared at the area in front of the door for a while. He scanned the surroundings and found no trace of possible surveillance cameras.

He nodded to Chengshi, who stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Dong dong."

After waiting for a while, the door of the house was opened, and inside was a kind-looking old man who seemed to be very talkative.

He looked at Chengshi in front of the door, looking completely unfamiliar and a little strange.

"You are?"

"Ah, hello!" Narumi was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied according to what Kurosawa Rin taught him: "Sorry to bother you, we are friends of Miss Sugime Aki who lived here before. I heard about her before

Live here so come and visit…”

"Eh? Sugime Aki?" The old man opposite obviously reacted to the name. He looked at Kurosawa Rin and Narumi opposite him with some strangeness, "I don't know what Sugime Aki you are talking about, but when I

The person who bought the house to us is called a Sugumeda person..."

"A native of Sugimeda?" Kurosawa Rin frowned.

"Well, he's probably the husband of Aki Sugi that you mentioned, right?"

Why is there another Sugimeta person? As far as I know, Sugime Aki has never been married?

Things have become complicated again.

Kurosawa Rin rubbed his brows, raised his head and asked, "When did you buy this house?"

The old man thought for a moment and said, "About six years ago."

six years ago?

Could it be related to my coma?

Kurosawa Rin kept this question in his mind, paused, and quietly moved his right hand that had been in his pocket.

A chubby chestnut hamster popped out of his pocket and ran straight into the house.

"Ah? It ran, ran in!"

Everyone was shocked. Kurosawa Rin followed the hamster and ran into the room. While catching the hamster, he took the opportunity to observe the layout of the room.

"Wait a minute, this is...!"

A certain memory suddenly appeared in my mind, like a dream.

Red curtains, dark room...

TV, table...

Although the furniture has been changed, Kurosawa Rin can still recognize that the scene, whether it is a dream or a memory, is here!

My head is buzzing.

My head hurts!!

Kneeling on the ground, Kurosawa Rin looked painful and clenched his hands desperately.

Damn it! What’s going on!!

The hands are getting harder and harder.

Then...

Kaka!!

"squeak!!"

The bones shattered, and an overwhelmed scream came from the palm of his hand.
