Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1306 Honey and 0

Upon hearing Yuya say that the murderer was among the three of them, his expression changed.

Just as Nishino Sumiya was about to say something, he heard Wakita Kanenori speak up: "Didn't you just say that someone sent a message to Mr. Kawasaki's phone?" At the same time, he stared at Nishino Sumiya with his one eye.

He paused, looking somewhat shaken: "Yes, yes, when he saw the message, his expression suddenly changed, and then he ran towards the bathhouse."

"Maybe they didn't want me to see the contents of the message, so they secretly called that person?"

Upon hearing this, Yuya's gaze fell on Kawasaki Yosuke's clothes: "Then let's take a look at his phone, maybe we'll find some clues."

He reached out and rummaged around for a bit, found Kawasaki's phone, pressed the power button, and discovered that it was unlocked with a fingerprint.

"Excuse me." Before the person cooled down completely, Yuya grabbed Kawasaki Yosuke's finger and started unlocking it, quickly finding the correct finger.

I opened my email and found a message I had received just a few minutes ago, which I read aloud.

"You promised to take that secret to your grave, you traitor!"

Yu also looked up, his gaze sweeping over the three of them one by one, and asked, "Does any of you know the secrets mentioned here?"

All three shook their heads, indicating they didn't know.

Kenjiro Wakita said meaningfully, "The word 'traitor' is indeed quite concerning."

Sumire Nishino exclaimed, "But we really don't know what happened!"

Fujita Yorito shouted, "Where's the sender? Wouldn't it be clear who it was if we checked the sender's name?"

Amuro Tooru said, "Then please turn on your phones and check who sent the message."

The three obediently took out their phones and opened their emails. Amuro Tooru glanced at them and his expression changed slightly—there was no such message in their sent items folders.

He checked the sender's address again, and it didn't match the addresses of the three people.

Yuya said, "It's possible that someone had other accounts, and logged out of that account immediately after sending the message to Mr. Kawasaki."

Japanese people generally use email instead of text messages, so as long as the account is changed and the login information is deleted, it cannot be found under the current conditions.

Kenjiro Wakita suggested another possibility: either someone had secretly brought two cell phones, or there was another person hiding in the church.

Upon hearing Wakita Kanenori's words, the remaining three all showed expressions of fear.

Yuya looked at Kawasaki Yosuke: "Didn't you guys just go to check the source of the sound? Did you get any results?"

Nishino Sumire was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head: "No, we haven't found it yet. Kawasaki received the message and ran away."

"I see." Yuya looked thoughtful.

At this moment, Conan tilted his head back and said, "It seems we still have to decipher these codes."

Everyone looked at Conan, who was holding up four cipher sheets: "The cipher we received at the beginning, the cipher we went to find together, and the cipher left next to the bodies of Mr. Wada and Mr. Kawasaki. There are four sheets in total."

"If we can decipher the code, we'll definitely find out something."

Yuya nodded in agreement: "If I'm not mistaken, the result of the code is either related to Mr. Hihara's suicide, or... it's a murderer's premonition."

"Kill... a murder warning?" Gu Puyu Hui's face showed a look of horror. "You mean, the murderer's killing spree isn't over yet?"

Yuya glanced at her sideways: "It seems that's correct at the moment."

"Speaking of which, you went to the same high school, right?"

Sumiya Nishino nodded.

"Then you should have something in common, like doing something bad together that you can't tell anyone."

Nishino Sumi also loudly retorted, "That's not true at all! However," he paused, "if we really have to say, Wada, who was murdered in the toilet, Kawasaki, who was poisoned in front of the bathhouse, and Fujita, they were all graduates of Shinano University."

Shinano University?

Yu seemed to be deep in thought when suddenly he felt something was off. He looked down and found that his fingers were sticky with something on them.

That's strange, he doesn't seem to have touched anything.

"Mr. Amuro," Yuya called out, gesturing for a moment.

Amuro Tooru walked over and pointed at Yuya's finger with his own.

Yu rubbed his fingers together, remembering that this was the finger he had just used to press the button on Kawasaki Yosuke's phone. He then turned the phone to the side to examine it and noticed some yellowish stuff on the power button area.

Yuya's expression changed—could it be excrement? How disgusting!

However, he immediately realized something was wrong. Kawasaki Yosuke was a germaphobe, and it was impossible for such a thing to have gotten on his phone.

He looked down and smelled it; it had a slightly sweet scent. This was... honey?

Why is there honey on my phone?

Amuro Tooru also noticed the problem and couldn't help but exchange glances with Yuya—why is there honey on the phone?

Since the beginning, I haven't seen anyone take out honey.

Moreover, this honey is very fresh, unlike the honey that Yosuke Kawasaki brought from other places.

At that moment, the voice of Kenjiro Wakita rang in their ears.

"You two seem to have a pretty good relationship."

Yuya subconsciously looked up. In the backlight, the unseen expression of Kenjiro Wakita, coupled with his single eye, made him look somewhat gloomy.

Yuya casually replied, "It's alright, we occasionally solve cases together."

Amuro Tooru also said, "I also run a detective agency, so we have some business dealings."

Although the agency was rarely open, Amuro Tooru always maintained the identity of a private detective.

"Is that so?" Wakita Kanenori said meaningfully, "I think you two are more like close partners."

“Moreover,” he said, his gaze falling on Conan beside him, “this kid also seems quite intelligent.”

The three of them looked at Wakita Kanenori in silence.

After a moment, Amuro Tooru spoke up: "This child is indeed very smart and likes reasoning. He often follows Yuya-kun and Uncle Kogoro around playing detective games, but no matter what, he is still just a child."

“Wow,” Kenjiro Wakita drawled, bending down slightly to examine Conan before straightening up and saying, “I really look forward to seeing what this kid will look like when he grows up. Could he be the next famous detective?”

Meanwhile, the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters was also bustling with activity.

Yamato Kansuke would occasionally check on the snow removal work in the tunnel.

Morofushi Takaaki, meanwhile, was deep in thought, stroking his chin.

He remembered where he had seen the blond man in the video before.

That was when he was still studying at Toto University, and his younger brother, Morofushi Kagemitsu, was staying at a relative's house in Tokyo.

On one occasion when they met at a coffee shop, the younger brother brought a friend, whose name I remember was... Furuya Rei... Zero... ZERO?!

He suddenly remembered that the envelope containing his brother's cell phone had an oval drawn where the signature should have been.

Looking back now, that ellipse looked more like the number 0 than a graphic.

Could it be that the person who sent my brother's phone... was him?

Just then, Yamato Kansuke received a phone call.

"Chief Kuroda?"

Yamato Kansuke looked up at Morofushi Takaki and handed him his phone: "Section Chief Kuroda wants to talk to you."

Morofushi Takaaki's expression shifted. Recalling his speculation about his brother's cause of death, he vaguely guessed Furuya Rei's identity. Now, Kuroda Hyōe suddenly called.

Could it be...?

Is his guess true?
