Five minutes later.
As soon as the roller coaster stopped at the edge of the platform, everyone ran out with fear on their faces.
Obviously.
Even in this world of detectives, most people are just ordinary individuals.
"Everyone, calm down."
"I am Kudou Shinichi, a high school detective. Before the Metropolitan Police Department arrives, if you don't want to be listed as a suspect, I suggest that you don't move around casually."
"Ran, go call the police!"
"Security gentlemen, control the scene first!"
Faced with this commotion, Kudou Shinichi stepped forward.
Using his prestige as a detective and the security force of the amusement park, he barely managed to control the situation.
As for Li Ze?
While everyone was still in chaos, he had quietly slipped behind the crowd and sat on a tourist chair against the wall to drink a beverage.
Yes.
The crime scene is exclusive to detectives.
He is not a detective, and the murderer and the suspect have no relation to him, so he wasn't interested in getting close.
Just wait.
"Hey, you." Sonoko came over, speaking very dissatisfiedly, "Why are you hiding here?"
"Ran went to call the police, and I even helped maintain order, but you're hiding here..."
"Too much!"
In response to this, Li Ze shrugged lazily.
"I'm not a detective."
"As a spectator, it's good not to make trouble."
"Also, aren't you scared?"
"The victim's head is gone, and the blood is spurting like a fountain."
"…"
Ah!
Before Li Ze finished speaking, Suzuki Sonoko screamed.
Then, her face turned pale, and her eyes were filled with fear.
Obviously.
Just now, because Kudou Shinichi spoke, she needed to maintain order, so she subconsciously forgot about it.
But what about now?
After Li Ze's reminder, she recalled the tragic scene of the deceased again.
So, that's it.
Li Ze: "..."
He watched the corner of his mouth twitch.
Looking at Suzuki Sonoko, who was trembling with fear, he couldn't help but want to slap himself.
Why did he say so much?
Now, is it okay?
But, there's nothing he can do.
Since it's his own fault, he can't just leave it alone.
"Sonoko, don't be afraid!" Li Ze said helplessly. "Drink some water first to calm down!"
"It's all my fault, okay?"
And to this, Suzuki Sonoko had tears at the corners of her eyes.
Facing the guy who scared her, she really wanted to bite him.
"Of course, I have to blame you!" Suzuki Sonoko said, twitching. "I forgot just now, and you reminded me again."
About five minutes later, Ran, who had called the police, came over and looked at Sonoko with some confusion.
She casually asked, and Li Ze casually replied.
Then… there was another scared person on the chair.
Li Ze sighed at this.
...
On the other side, the Metropolitan Police Department arrived, skillfully set up the cordon, and took full control of the scene.
The person in charge was still an old friend, Officer Megure!
Kudou Shinichi also started solving the case.
Everything went just like in the original story, and Kudou Shinichi pointed out the murderer.
After a show of reasoning, Hitomi knelt down and cried.
Once the process was completed, the murderer was handcuffed and taken away by the Metropolitan Police Department.
Of course, during all of this, Kudou Shinichi also focused on Gin and Vodka.
But unfortunately, since the murderer had already been caught and although he had suspicions about the two, he could only let them go because there was no evidence.
"What a pity!"
"I said, Miss Hitomi really isn't worth it."
"Scumbag, bah!"
"…"
Xiao Ran and Sonoko, the two girls, chatted and complained.
Kudou Shinichi frowned slightly.
Obviously, he was still thinking about the two men in black. As for Hitomi's murder case, he had completely stopped thinking about it once it was solved.
This was normal.
As a detective, he encountered many cases. If he couldn't let go of one, it would crush him.
But for Li Ze, everything was easy.
Whether it was the case that Ran and Sonoko cared about, or the two men in black that Kudou Shinichi was focused on, for him, with his God's perspective, it didn't matter at all.
At that moment, Vodka, dressed in black, ran past the crowd.
He looked suspicious, sneaking around.
"Lan, Li Ze, Sonoko..."
"I'm sorry, I still have something to do."
"You guys go back first. I'll catch up with you later."
"I'm leaving now."
Kudou Shinichi said with a smile.
After saying that, he chased after the man in black without looking back. Li Ze narrowed his eyes when he saw this.
The plot was about to unfold.
"Shinichi..." Ran was worried.
Sonoko was very angry: "Damn Kudou, so bad!"
Li Ze's eyes narrowed.
"Ran, Sonoko."
"I'll go see Kudou, in case he needs help."
"Don't worry, I'll go check on him and come right back."
He said briefly to the two of them before chasing after Kudou.
Of course, he was being extra cautious.
After all, when dealing with dangerous people like the villain winery, being careful was never too much.
But he was confident.
Even though he had never learned tracking techniques in either of his two lives, with his systematic training in Bajiquan and gun fighting, he was sure he could hide his presence and breath well enough not to be detected.
If he didn't have those skills, he wouldn't dare to intervene at all.
"Hey, hey!"
"Kudou is like this, and Li Ze is like this too."
"Damn men, damn it!" Sonoko fumed.
Meanwhile, Ran stood still, her eyes blank, as if she had lost her soul.
For some reason, she looked at Kudou Shinichi's retreating figure and suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
It felt like...
She might never see him again.
...
Outside Tropical Land, in a hidden corner.
Vodka and the fat man were in the middle of a trade, while Kudou Shinichi was hiding and observing them from a distance.
And all of this was being watched by Li Ze, who was deep in the bushes, carefully concealing his presence.
Suddenly, Li Ze overheard the conversation between Vodka and the fat man. The reason the fat man was paying 100 million yen to trade with the organization was because they had evidence of his involvement in arms reselling.
A weapons dealer, huh?
Li Ze thought to himself. Considering his company would likely need to eliminate rivals in secret in the future, having access to arms channels would definitely come in handy.
"Well, not bad!"
"I didn't expect an unexpected surprise. Looks like today's trip wasn't a waste."
"Let Natasha take charge. She's been an agent and knows how to deal with this kind of guy."
Li Ze thought, then took out a small spy camera and snapped a picture of the fat man.
At that moment, Gin knocked Kudou Shinichi unconscious with a stick, shoved a pill of APTX-4869 into his mouth, and scolded Vodka.
"Brother, I'm sorry," Vodka said, apologizing.
Gin's expression remained cold.
After warning Vodka, he calmly said, "Let's go, Vodka."
"Brother, I want to redeem myself," Vodka quickly said. "Do you remember the guy next to the second lady of the Suzuki family when we were on the roller coaster earlier?"
"The Suzuki family organization can't act recklessly, but there's no risk in targeting that guy."
"His name is Li Ze."
"He's just a lucky guy with no background. The important thing is, he's very rich."
"Yesterday, he took control of 30% of the Seiwa Group. If we can deal with Li Ze, the organization's finances will be much better off."
"..."
