Chapter 64

This dinner ended with Amuro Toru's modified chicken sandwich. I don't know how he and Edogawa Conan enjoyed it, but Furukawa Kumisa was very satisfied with it.

In addition, the black tea brewed by Amuro Toru himself comes from their own luggage, which is safe and pollution-free, and there is absolutely no possibility of poisoning.

Furukawa Kumisa touched his rewarded stomach and sighed with satisfaction: "Thank you, Amuro-kun, for your hospitality."

Toru Amuro smiled humbly: "As long as Furukawa-san likes it."

Furukawa Kumisa liked it very much, and even thought about it a little bit more: "I see there are a lot of other ingredients in the refrigerator. Amuro-kun, why don't you give us three meals a day for the remaining few days?"

I don’t know whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing, but Furukawa Kumisa’s wish to have Amuro Toru cover three meals a day was not realized - just the next second, the restaurant door was pushed open with a "clatter", and Xiaoxun stumbled in and ran in.

Still holding the phone, his tone was very excited.

"Great! The signal station seems to have been repaired. The police at the foot of the mountain just called and said that the road will be cleared by noon tomorrow at the latest and we can go down the mountain!"

This good news is like a shot in the arm for everyone in the hall.

As long as you can leave this closed ghost place, you don't have to worry about being killed by an unknown poison all the time.

The stagnant atmosphere in the hall instantly relaxed a lot. Even Kaori Gobaikawa and Noriko Ueda no longer had tit-for-tat, and the smile on Amakusa Shoyasu's face also relaxed a lot.

Ueda Nobuko pushed away the chair and stood up. Regardless of other people's reactions, he left the restaurant: "In this case, I will not eat breakfast and lunch tomorrow. Anyway, I will not starve to death if I eat two less meals."

Two less meals means two less opportunities to be exposed to poison. Now that it is confirmed that you can go down the mountain, this is indeed a solution.

Gomokawa Kaori's expressionless face was obviously much more relaxed. She spoke softly: "From now on, until I go down the mountain tomorrow, I will stay in the room by myself and lock the door. You don't have to ask me to eat."

Already."

Furukawa Kumisa naturally has no objection to this. After all, if everyone is willing to lock themselves in the room and not run around, the possibility of attrition can be greatly reduced.

She even wanted to suggest that others take this measure, but Ueda Nobuko had already left the restaurant, and Amakusa Shotai...

Amakusa Shotai looked at Furukawa Kumisa and smiled happily: "Thanks to the presence of Officer Furukawa these two days, you have worked hard, thank you very much."

His tone was relaxed and pleasant. Even though it would take nearly twelve hours for the road to the bottom of the mountain to be cleared, he seemed to have a winning chance and already gave a speech of thanks happily.

Furukawa Kumisa glanced at him lightly, "Young Master Xiangtai is too polite, I can't be of much help."

To be fair, she really didn't feel that she had done anything useful in the past two days - except collecting the bodies of the two deceased people.

She failed to prevent the two cases from happening, and naturally she cannot deserve the gratitude of Amakusa Shotai.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the empty plate in front of Amakusa Shotai. All the food on the plate had been eaten, leaving only a little sauce hanging on the porcelain plate.

"Master Xiangtai, please pay attention to safety tonight and don't take it lightly."

After all, no matter what, Amakusa Shoutai was the only victim here who was almost killed by poison.

Furukawa Kumisa felt that Amakusa Shotai might not have listened to her suggestion - shortly after the dinner, she heard the sound of piano playing coming from the concert hall again.

At this time, Amuro Toru and Edogawa Conan had already gone to the garden to search the greenhouse for the pesticide antidote.

Furukawa Kumisa stood alone in the corridor, thought for a while, and then walked to the concert hall at the end of the corridor.

Pushing open the door of the concert hall, bright light and shadow penetrated into the dark corridor through the cracks in the door. Furukawa Kumisa's vision flickered briefly and he squinted slightly before adapting to the bright light in the concert hall.

There is only one person in the empty concert hall. He is the performer and the only listener.

Amakusa Shotai sat in front of the piano, his eyes slightly closed, and the music flowed from his fingertips. He sat alone in the brilliant light and shadow of the hall, with only the sound of music to accompany him.

The arrival of Furukawa Kumisa did not interrupt his music. She stood behind the audience and listened quietly for a long time.

Even though she was very suspicious of Amakusa Shotai, she had to admit that his talent in music was truly astonishing.

The plaintive music slides past the thirtieth measure and stops abruptly before it reaches the end.

Amakusa Shotai ended his performance abruptly and opened his eyes.

Furukawa Kumisa slowly stepped forward and walked towards Amakusa Shotai on the stage: "Why don't you play anymore? The music is not halfway through yet."

Amakusa Shoyasu's fingertips moved away from the keys, but his eyes were still looking at the piano, without paying any attention to Furukawa Kumisa - this was very unusual for him who was always humble.

"Officer Furukawa seems to be very familiar with classical music from neighboring countries?" Amakusa Shotai asked softly.

Furukawa Kumisa paused slightly: "Personal interest."

Now that she had mentioned this, she asked bluntly, ""Trauerbsp;op 24" is a mourning march by the neighboring composer Xiao Youmei. It has a total of seventy-six bars of music, but Master Xiangtai only played the first half."

Shoutai Amakusa's fingertips touched the keys again, and during improvisation, the notes flowed out in random tunes.

"Because starting from the thirty-first verse, the meaning of the song is no longer 'mourning'."

Furukawa Kumisa did not refute his words. On the contrary, he responded with approval: "Yes, the middle part of this piece is high-spirited and exciting, and it is full of the spirit of helping the world and serving the country."

There is a sigh in Amakusa Shōtai's tone: "Any performance resonates with the composer's soul - the meaning of my music may be able to deceive others, but it cannot be hidden from the ears of Officer Furukawa. I still won't show my shame."

Already."

Furukawa Kumisa expressed his true meaning without expression.

"...You can't empathize."

He is a person who is naturally indifferent to emotions. Whether he is happy, sad, or excited and indifferent, his emotions rarely fluctuate.

But Amakusa Shoutai has always hidden this well. His learning ability is very strong. Even though he cannot truly empathize, he can simulate various emotions superbly.

He hid himself under various emotional masks and made various coping methods just right. Even though he seemed a little indifferent, no one could see through his "freak" nature.

——But Furukawa Kumisa is an exception. After just two days of getting along with her, she already has a sharp eye.

Amakusa Shoyasu's eyes finally moved and focused on Furukawa Kumisa: "Officer Furukawa is suspicious of me."

It's not a question, it's a very definite tone.

Furukawa Kumisa did not speak, but at such a time, the default answer was also one.

Emotionally indifferent but with strong hiding power, excellent talent and extremely high IQ - this kind of Amakusa Shoyasu made Furukawa Kumisa instinctively feel vigilant.

Like an unfounded sixth sense, Furukawa Kumisa did not hide her suspicions about him.

She just asked in a low voice: "You already knew that I was suspicious of you, but you didn't speak up until now?"

Amakusa Shoutai is a person who is very good at showing off, and she thought that he would always respond to her vague suspicions with a calm and unconscious attitude.

What Amakusa Shoyasu said was unexpected by Furukawa Kumisa.

His eyes glanced behind her, and when he spoke again, there was a hint of a narrow smile in his tone.

"Officer Furukawa's escorts are too considerate. It's not easy to find a chance to be alone with you."

Furukawa Kumisa:……

She was choked by this unexpected answer, and for a moment she didn't know how to speak.

But Amakusa Shōtai continued: "It's not me."

Furukawa Kumisa frowned slightly and raised her eyes to look at him.

Amakusa Shoyasu is defending himself?

No, if it's really him...if it's his character...

He is supposed to be the mysterious mastermind who sits elegantly behind the scenes. He is conceited about his wisdom and his superb methods, but he doesn't even bother to open his mouth to tell the truth for himself.

As if he had seen through her thoughts, Amakusa Shotai smiled slightly: "It's not an excuse, Officer Furukawa. I just don't want to see you wasting your time on me."

Furukawa Kumisa felt even weirder: "Why?"

Amakusa Shotai treats her differently - Furukawa Kumisa had only a vague guess before, but his words almost confirmed this.

Furukawa Kumisa is just curious, why?

She asked herself that she didn't have the ability to seduce people, and she didn't think Amakusa Shoutai's "care" was related to the relationship between men and women.

But he did have a different regard for her, someone who had been deeply suspicious of him from the beginning.

--Why?

Amakusa Shotai stood up from the piano bench: "Officer Furukawa is a very interesting person."

Furukawa Kumisa:...Isn’t this really the inherent attribute of her being funny and hilarious?

After saying this, he walked down the stage slowly, gave her a graceful bow, and left gracefully.

He has a graceful and dignified attitude.

Furukawa Kumisa looked at his back with suspicion and couldn't help but complained systematically: "I hope he won't leave the manor and run outside. After all, it's raining heavily."

The system was stunned for a moment, wondering why she suddenly said this, "...why?"

"I was struck by lightning because I was pretending to be cool."

system:……

It was too tiring to chat with the Riddler who was pretentious and self-righteous, so Furukawa Kumisa always stayed away from such people.

She took one last look at the piano on the bandstand, then turned and walked toward the door.

At this moment, there was a "clatter" as the door opened, and the floor-to-ceiling windows connecting the concert hall to the outside terrace were opened.

In the concert hall on the first floor of the manor, in addition to a main entrance that connects to the corridor, there is also a floor-to-ceiling window that connects to the outside terrace. It is usually blocked by heavy curtains and is not conspicuous.

Furukawa Kumisa already knew from the system prompts that in addition to her and Amakusa Shotai, there was another person hiding on the outdoor terrace in the whole house.

But she didn't expect that the other party would show up so openly.

The windows and doors were open, and the cold wind and rain from the outside penetrated into the hall along the night, blowing away the warmth that had been accumulated in the hall for a long time.

The enchanting figure stepped into the hall on high heels, with a long cigarette that had not yet been extinguished between her fingertips.
