The moment I received the system prompt, the disturbing past events came one after another.

Furukawa Kumisa's eyes were slightly dazed. When he raised his eyes again, the winery and restaurant were far away in front of his eyes. In a trance, he seemed to have gone back to the year when he first met Kudo Shinichi.

At that time, she had just transferred to his middle school and walked into the playground. When she stepped into this unfamiliar campus, a football flew towards her. She turned her head leisurely to dodge under the prompts of the system. She turned back to block it and caught the ball.

A menacing ball.

It was at that time that Kudo Shinichi came over, sweat dripping from his face, and his whole person was filled with a certain atmosphere called "youth" and "freshness".

——Those are the most youthful and happy ten years in a person's life. It is the vigorous rising sun and the prosperity that has just begun to bloom.

It was a vitality that she had long forgotten in the endless years of reincarnation.

With just one glance, she was immersed in this fresh and vibrant world.

The young man smiled like the rising sun and smiled apologetically at her: "I'm sorry, I didn't hurt you, did I?"

She threw the football that was fixed in her hand back into Kudo Shinichi's hands. Then she walked toward the teaching building without saying a word, maintaining her proper persona.

Much later, Furukawa Kumisa once asked herself, had she ever liked Kudo Shinichi?

The answer is that I have liked it - not just Kudo Shinichi, but the youthful, straightforward and uninhibited world he represents.

In terms of human age, she has already entered her twilight years, and her weathered heart will always admire such a passionate and frank being.

It's just that things went against the grain, and she died hastily before she had time to be tempted by him.

When they first met, he was apologizing to her. The last time they met many years later, he was still apologetic.

That apology fermented in his heart for many years, and finally achieved her special and outstanding status in his heart.

But from the beginning to the end, she was the one who presented herself with a false mask, everything was an act, and every word was a deception. It was clearly her.

The turbulent thoughts almost overwhelmed Furukawa Kumisa's nerves. She held on to the dining table next to her and sat down on the chair with a bang.

She only felt that her hands and feet were cold, and for the first time in such a long time in the world of strategy, she felt at a loss.

Opposite me, Amakusa Shotai looked at Furukawa Kumisa in bewilderment - why did this police officer Furukawa look more like the person who was almost poisoned than him?

But her situation was really not right. Amakusa Shotai took the water on the table and poured her a glass, "Officer Furukawa? You don't look good, please drink some water."

Furukawa Kumisa weakly waved his hand, indicating that he did not want to drink.

Her mind was in chaos, trying to figure out some clues.

——The guide has been restarted, and the favorability has been cleared...

Amakusa Shotai looked at Furukawa Kumisa's appearance and was slightly startled. He thought she was suspected of poisoning the water. He took a cup and poured himself a cup. He took a sip and motioned to give it to her.

"Officer Furukawa, don't worry, the water is fine."

Furukawa Kumisa's face turned pale, he closed his eyes slightly, but still waved his hands weakly: "I'm not thirsty..."

She took a deep breath, slowed it down, and decided to focus on the matter in front of her first, to clear up the doubts that Amakusa Shotai had just had.

"The poison was poisoned on the keys of the piano, but not every key was poisoned. Only the semitone fa was poisoned."

Amakusa Shotai was stunned again. Unexpectedly, the first sentence of Furukawa Police Officer, who seemed to be in poor health, was to explain to him the cause and effect?

"Half tone fa?"

Furukawa Kumisa glanced at him: "Yesterday in the concert hall, Amakusa Yuyasu was the second to come on stage. Amakusa Shuntai, the first to come on stage, played an ancient piece from a neighboring country. Among the classical music from neighboring countries, only Miyagi Shang Jiao Zhengyu, that is, do , re , mi , so , these five tones do not have fa, so he did not touch the poison on the keys at all.

"And Amakusa Shuntai, who was the second to take the stage, played an etude with a lot of arpeggios and minor keys to show off his skills, involving all the tunes, so he would encounter poison on his face.

"That's why we found during yesterday's autopsy that he only had toxins on the pulps of the four fingers of his right hand, and the sides of his thumb - forgetting the pulps of the four fingers, the side of the thumb is a place that is rarely touched normally. Except for playing the piano."

Furukawa Kumisa recalled the staff he saw last night, which fell from the boss's body, and compared it with the staff he just saw in the piano room - the note "fa" was missing.

"I don't know if the person who poisoned the piano came back last night to wipe the poison off the keys, but in the score you just played, if I heard correctly, there is the note "fa", right?"

Amakusa Shōtai's expression changed slightly: "So Officer Furukawa came in such a hurry to stop me from eating?...Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I'd probably..."

Furukawa Kumisa sighed.

In fact, the consequences of her coming to stop Amakusa Shotai were far more than that - she completely exposed her knowledge of music to Kudo Shinichi, and she had only told him on the way here yesterday that she knew nothing about musical notation.

With Kudo Shinichi's intelligence and careful thinking, this alone is enough to confirm her identity.

The system prompt just now also proves this point.

——But she really couldn't take care of so much at that time.

Amakusa Shotai had already left the piano room and headed to the restaurant. She didn't have time to put on a show in front of Kudo Shinichi to let him notice the truth and stop him.

Given the dangerous situation just now, if she was a minute late, Amakusa Shotai would be dead on the spot.

She didn't want to see a life lost in vain because of her own hesitation.

Furukawa Kumisa pressed his throbbing forehead and stood up holding on to the table and chair: "Master Xiangtai, please be more careful in the future. I... feel a little uncomfortable. I'm going back to my room to rest."

She pushed open the door of the restaurant and walked towards the corridor when she saw the young boy standing in the shadow.

He stood there stunned, his entire body hidden in the shadows of the corridor, unable to see his emotions clearly, and a speechless atmosphere fell around him.

He just stood there, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time.

"Furukawa...sister."

Furukawa Kumisa remained unmoved, "What's wrong? Conan-kun."

She knows that Kudo Shinichi has confirmed his identity, but with her current identity, there is no way to confirm that "Edogawa Conan is Kudo Shinichi", so she still has room to pretend in front of Edogawa Conan.

Edogawa Conan took a step forward and stepped out of the shadows, revealing a complex and deep look behind his lenses.

She had never seen such a look on Kudo Shinichi's face - his eyes were always clear and clean, only when he revealed the truth of the case, he was full of vigor. But it was never as silent as it is now.

These two completely different emotions, excitement, settled in his eyes, mixing them into a complex color.

His throat rolled twice and he opened his mouth, as if he didn't know what to say. He closed his mouth and was silent for a while, and finally opened his mouth.

He said dryly: "Sister Furukawa...she said yesterday that she knew nothing about music."

Furukawa Kumisa had nothing to be afraid of at this time. She smiled pointlessly and shrugged: "Oh, I lied to you."

She has been lying most of her life, but she rarely admits to being so upright.

Edogawa Conan pursed his lips, "Why?"

——For the normal life I have been looking forward to for so many years. To end all this and return to reality.

But these "truths" are destined to be hidden in her heart for a lifetime, and she has no intention of letting others know.

Furukawa Kumisa was too tired to deal with it, so he simply didn't bother to reply, turned around and went upstairs.

"Sister Furukawa?"

Seeing her walking away, Edogawa Conan was stunned for a moment, then took two steps forward to catch up: "Where are you going?"

Furukawa Kumisa held the handle of the stairs and walked steadily step by step, just like she had been walking in the world of strategy for so many years.

"Go back to your room and rest. I didn't sleep well last night."

She threw herself into the soft quilt - a move she seemed to have done frequently since arriving at this winery.

"Host, are you okay?" The system, which had been silent for a long time, finally spoke weakly.

"If you open your mouth now, I can't help but pull you out and beat you up."

System: ...It seems to be fine, and I still have the energy to quarrel with it.

Furukawa Kumisa turned over, looked at the empty ceiling, and spoke in confusion.

"What happened when my good feelings were cleared? From what I saw just now, Kudo Shinichi looked no different to me? - At least the memory and feelings were not cleared?"

"Yes, I took a look and the favorability mentioned here is just the favorability of that line in the host's system - in layman's terms, it is an ordinary reward and punishment mechanism. It will not have an impact on the target of the strategy.

, the target’s favorable impression of the host will be reset to zero. Therefore, it will not have any impact on Kudo Shinichi’s memory and feelings.”

"In other words, if I want to start the strategy for Kudo Shinichi again now, the starting point is not 0, but starting from 70 favorability?"

"Theoretically, that's the case."

It sounds like mixed news. The advantage is that you don’t have to start from scratch, but the disadvantage is...

"Doesn't that mean that the maximum limit for my strategy is only 30 points? But I was deducted 70 points. Doesn't that mean that no matter what I do, I still lose 40 points?"

"...This is a punishment mechanism, host."

The result that had been expected long ago made Furukawa Kumisa feel depressed, but things had happened, and self-pity was not her style.

She then cheered up and thought of some way to make amends.

"Then what if I can make Kudo Shinichi dispel his doubts?"

"...To be honest, I have never seen such a situation, but according to the system's algorithm, if you can dispel Kudo Shinichi's suspicion, then the system should be able to withdraw the judgment of 'restarting the strategy line' and return your 70 points

return."

With the words "system", Furukawa Kumisa was finally relieved.

She was silent for a while, then quietly said: "...last question."

"What?"

"Will the target of my capture have a lower opinion of me?"

The system thought for a while: "Theoretically speaking, it is difficult for a target whose favorability is above 50 to lower its favorability towards the host, unless something big happens..." It paused and thought of something, "Wait a minute, host.

What to do?"

With the extent of the host's arrogant operation, it is difficult for the system not to think about the bad things.

Furukawa Kumisa curled his lips and smiled: "No, there is nothing to do yet, I just want to ask."

System:..."temporarily"...?

Furukawa Kumisa stopped paying attention to the system and slumped on the bed for a while, recharging himself for a while. Then he straightened up and planned to go to the bathroom to wash his face and go downstairs to face Kudou Shinichi.
