Conan's winery play house

Chapter 116 Madman

Toru Amuro frowned and looked at the diary in his hand.

I haven't finished reading the diary yet.

[My child... seems to be dead...]

[He is back.]

[Don’t leave mom...Aito.]

The diary ends here, and after that there is only a bunch of scattered symbols, numbers, and incomplete sentences with unrelated fonts.

Toru Amuro thought about the contents of the diary.

Judging from the fact that the person writing the diary calls herself mother, this is Tita's diary.

Is the silver bullet drug she mentioned above an invention they previously researched?

Is Tita really pregnant? Does she really have a baby?

Glenlivet and Tita are not as close as Toru Amuro imagined.

It can be seen from Tita's diary that she even hated Glenlivet.

He was even more prepared to kill Glenlivet after he lost his use value.

From the confusing sentences in the diary, Toru Amuro made a guess.

Perhaps from beginning to end, the only crazy person was Tita.

But why is she crazy?

Glenlivet's madness may be due to the drug injected by Dita, which is why he showed such an expression before his death.

Toru Amuro recalled the scene four years ago.

The shot man lay on the ground, his blue eyes becoming restrained and cold.

He looked at Tita who turned around and ran away, moved her lips and closed her eyes.

Even now, Amuro doesn't know what the other person wanted to say before he died.

There is a locked safe in Tita's laboratory.

It is an ordinary password lock.

Even if the password is wrong, it will not explode or call the police.

Amuro Toru tried the passwords one by one.

Finally, the safe was opened.

What was inside was not the so-called confidential documents he had guessed.

It's just a bunch of ordinary photos.

The only unusual thing is the protagonist in the photo.

A boy with white hair and blue eyes.

Toru Amuro looked at the photos one after another.

The boy in the photo is very similar to the current Avi Clear, but different.

The boy in the photo looks... maybe a little more like a living person.

The photo looks like a candid shot.

Those who eat, go shopping, play games...

The boy in the photo is doing all kinds of things, but he never looks directly at the camera once.

Only in the last photo, the boy seemed to have discovered the camera, smiled brightly at the camera, raised his hand and waved to the person who took the photo.

There are two strings of English fonts written on the back of the photo.

［My angel］

my angel.

[Augenstern]

Toru Amuro doesn't quite understand what the second string of letters means. It's not English, but...German?

He silently memorized the word and put the photo back.

He seemed to know some truth.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed Glenlivet and Tita may have nothing to do with the white-haired, blue-eyed Avi Clear.

this is only……

It's just a crime committed by a crazy woman.

Maybe the reason...

Just because of a smile and a word of concern.

He quits Tita's laboratory.

Arrive at Glenlivet's laboratory.

The place is in chaos, like a ruins.

Broken test tubes were scattered on the ground, and various colored reagents also stained the white tiles.

All the instruments were smashed and bruised, and wine bottles were scattered everywhere.

Small paper balls were also thrown everywhere.

Toru Amuro bent down and picked up a small ball of paper, opened it and looked at it.

There is actually writing written on it.

[What is that crazy woman Tita doing?]

Toru Amuro's eyes lit up, he discovered the clue, and began to spread out the paper balls on the ground one by one.

[How can we have children]

[madman]

[Where did she bring the child back from]

[……What am I doing……]

[…I killed that child…but I don’t remember…]

[What did that crazy woman Dita do to me?!!]

[madman]

[Crazy, crazy, crazy, hahahahaha...]

A bunch of meaningless characters.

The most common ones are madmen and crazy women.

Which child did Glenlivet say he killed...?

Avicril? But the other party is not dead.

However, Glenlivet's words can also prove that he and Tita do not have children.

Glenlivet himself also knew that Tita had done something to him, but he had no way to solve it.

Toru Amuro thought as he looked at the messy gestures on the note.

Because Glenlivet has also gone crazy, and even... his memory is confused and he can't remember what happened.

Start with the phrase "What am I doing?"

There was already a problem with Glenlivet's memory, and the problem was so serious that he even discovered it.

Maybe what the other party said about killing the child was just a imaginary memory.

Toru Amuro placed the small paper balls back on the ground.

I rummaged through the lab again and found no other clues, so I exited the lab.

Start collecting clues in each room.

The house where Glenlivet and Tita lived was very large.

There are many guest rooms.

They are all rooms with no trace of habitation.

There are only two rooms on the fourth floor that are inhabited and look like they have a sense of life.

And you can tell at a glance which is Glenlivet's room and which is Tita's room.

On the wall of Tita's room hangs an enlarged version of the last photo in the safe.

The boy with white hair and blue eyes is smiling brightly.

And there are dresses hanging in Tita's closet.

Toru Amuro looked through it, but still didn't find anything.

Including Glenlivet's room, there was nothing else in the wardrobe except a few formal suits and white coats.

It seemed that all the key clues only existed in the underground room and their laboratory.

The answer to the question that Toru Amuro wanted to know the most was never found.

The old man said that Glenlivet and Tita escaped by chance, but never came back here.

Why……

Should it remain the same here?

Are you waiting for someone to come back and discover all this?

Who is waiting for?

Aviciel?

And are Glenlivet and Tita still alive?

If you were alive, how could you let all this remain the same?

After searching the whole mansion and finding no other clues, Toru Amuro left the house full of doubts.

Before leaving, he looked back for a moment at the lonely building in the dark night.

In his eyes, the building was like a sleeping monster, ready to devour anyone who entered.

He drove away.

…

After arriving outside the house where he and Avicril lived, Toru Amuro was surprised to find that the hall was still lit.

It's already twelve o'clock.

Avicril goes to bed on time at ten o'clock every day. Didn't he still go to bed today and sit in the living room waiting for him?

There was an inexplicable feeling in Toru Amuro's heart, as if she was suffocated by silk threads.

He hesitated when he opened the door, and he didn't even know whether he should open the door or not.

For the time being, he didn't know how to face Avril.

Pity? Guilt? Regret?

All these emotions are present.

but……

These emotions are meaningless.

Delayed pity, guilt, and regret are useless.

If the organization was destroyed, he would tell Avril everything and apologize to him for turning a blind eye and not saving him.

Also for...delayed justice.

No matter what Avicril wants to do to him, he can do it, even if he wants his own life...

The blond man lowered his eyes.

But not now.

Toru Amuro pushed open the door.
