Conan: I am really a good person

Chapter 404: Game in Progress ③
[FBI Newcomer].

The office was filled with a solemn atmosphere. No matter whether people were buried in documents, staring at the computer screen and typing, or walking around, everyone was silently tense to ensure that no matter what unexpected situation occurred, they could react immediately and slip away. At the same time, they were suspiciously glancing at every corner with their peripheral vision.

So does Judy.

She listened attentively and looked in all directions, scanning the entire office thoroughly for the thirteenth time, and opened the communication tool for the seventh time to check the responses from agents from other departments that there were no abnormalities. She took a deep breath and looked at the future behind her, realizing that things were not simple.

A future was lying on the chair, not sitting. Most of his body was blocked by the black chair, with only a little hair sticking out from the back. While swaying, he looked surprisingly well-behaved, which was frightening.

——The well-behaved one is exhausted after playing.

It didn't matter. His future would be spent either playing or on the road to playing. In this respect, he seemed to have a skill that made all beings equal with one click. No matter whether they were men or women, young or old, regardless of status or even dead or alive, they were all his toys. He would play whenever he wanted. If this world was a game, then other people were NPCs, and he was the player who bought the game. It was natural for him to play with all the NPCs and enjoy his gaming experience. Of course, there would be a halftime break when he got tired of playing.

Every time this part comes, Judy breathes a sigh of relief.

The premise is that she knows what Yi Tiao Future is playing.

...So what on earth did he do? Wasn't he just going to get off work as usual? He obviously didn't do anything, so why did he look so contented? !

The scary thing is not that Yi Tiao Wei was playing, but that they couldn't find out what he was playing that would allow him to rest so leisurely.

Anyone who sees the cow cat that always runs around the house and bangs around every day suddenly starts to wag its tail obediently will have its alarm bells ringing and become extremely uneasy.

Just as I was thinking about it, Akai Shuichi came over and said, "Don't look at it."

"He got beaten up."

what?
Judy reacted for a moment before she glanced at the future out of the corner of her eye. As the chair swayed gently from side to side, she saw him put his hand under his chin, still with a relaxed expression.

Apparently, when he was playing, the person he was playing with hit him, and it should have been a punch that hit him right on the chin, but perhaps compared to how much fun he had, the hit was too light, so it did not affect his leisurely and happy state at all.

"Ah, really? There's no injury. It looks quite light." After observing for a few seconds, before Ichijo Mirai looked over, Judy looked up at Akai Shuichi and laughed dryly to cover it up. "Actually, I don't really care. Haha."

A future I haven't seen yet.

But he knew Judy was looking at him, and he knew everyone in the office was looking at him, and he knew they were racking their brains to think frantically, 'What went wrong?! What on earth did he play!!!'.

Of course, Ichijo Mirai never expressed it directly, but Judy could guess from clues that he was such a perceptive person, but he would not use the excuse of "look at me" as an excuse to play with others when he wanted to play.

Because it's not infuriating enough.

He would often find another excuse that would be irritating enough to make people's blood boil the moment they heard it, such as "stepping into the office with my left foot".

Judy knew, and she also knew that Akai Shuichi knew as well, "Is it the 'Blond Killer'...?"

Is the one being played the 'Blond Killer'?

"No," Akai Shuichi shook his head, and could even easily guess why Judy speculated so. "Although the 'Blond Killer' hinted that the next target was the FBI when he sent out the notice, and made people think it was you, but it was actually you and that guy, but that guy didn't care about it at all."

In fact, after knowing this, Ichijo Mirai only touched Platinum's hair belatedly and suddenly realized, "Oh, I forgot, I'm blonde... Why admit that I'm blonde at this time! Those FBI who call me white-haired bastards don't even have the eyes of a criminal!"

Then there is no more.

...This is not a future.

Whether it was only afterward that he realized that he was actually the target, or that he did not take any revenge on the 'blonde killer', it was not a good future.

"He recently,"

Akai Shuichi paused for a long time, then slowly said the result of his repeated observations and investigations, "It seems that he is slacking off."

The most obvious thing is that the number of future victims has suddenly decreased a lot. Many FBI agents and criminals who used to be tickled when they passed by are no longer used to it.

Judy repeated: "Fishing?"

On the one hand, she felt that the criminals who were arrested by the future would cry. On the other hand, she also felt: "But if I slack off, wouldn't it cause more trouble to others?"

No one else was harmed!

"But his condition shows that he has done something bad. It's just that the person being harmed is not within our attention, so we haven't captured the key information," said Shuichi Akai. "He has been disappearing for a short period of time recently. I just found out today that every time he disappears, he goes back to Tokyo."

This is a somewhat sensitive question. Tokyo is a little different from the future. Judy vaguely knows something secretive. Although she is not sure, she nodded in understanding the moment she heard this, temporarily alleviating her anxiety about "where on earth did he mess up?" She nodded in understanding, "OK, then the victim may be in Tokyo."

Very good!
It seemed a little too obvious. She coughed a few more times, trying to pay attention to the serious matter, and agreed, "If you said that he has been slacking off recently... it seems to be true."

"He seems to be quite absent-minded lately. He seems a little distracted when solving cases."

Although he often solved cases easily, and sometimes even caught the criminals as soon as they reached out, he often didn't care about many things that he should have cared about, such as being scolded by the criminals.

In the past, when he was scolded by criminals, he would take revenge on the spot by just playing a little trick to make the criminal regret not being able to control his mouth. But when he was scolded a few days ago, his attention was actually on the victim's neighbor's house. He watched carefully as the neighbor's wife and husband kissed and then went to work separately. Then, after a few hours, he seemed to come out of his inexplicable meditation and took revenge on the guy who couldn't control his mouth according to his usual habit.

It's very strange. This guy, who always takes revenge on the spot when he has a grudge and creates one when he doesn't have one, would actually delay taking revenge!
Shuichi Akai added, "He's been listening too much lately."

Recently, Ichizo Weilai often lies on a chair, looking leisurely and relaxing. His chair can even move. More than one person turned around while chatting with others and found Ichizo Weilai nearby. It was simply like a horror movie, and people had to urgently recall whether they had just casually petted this kind and generous FBI agent.

"If they're talking about serious matters, it's fine," Judy also knew about this, and said with a strange expression, "but some people are talking about more private matters."

For example, chatting with a boyfriend, or chatting with a girlfriend.

It is a very scary thing to turn around and see a scary person when you are chatting with your lover in a relaxed manner. It is no less terrifying than a cat seeing a cucumber. If it doesn't jump up immediately, it means the person is calm.

and many more……

"After hearing all this," Judy said slowly, "I feel like,"

Akai Shuichi interrupted and continued his hesitant speculation: "He is paying attention to love?"

Is Yitiao in the future in love?

There was silence for one second, two seconds, three seconds, and then they spoke in unison, "Impossible."

"How is that possible!" Judy touched her arm and just wanted to laugh dryly, "Haha, there must be something we don't know. What if it's a 'criminal behind the scenes who doesn't show up directly but manipulates various criminals to achieve his own plans' that has appeared recently? Maybe he is concentrating on competing with someone, he must have his own reasons."

"Let's talk business. Let's talk business."

Don't talk about horror or scary topics in broad daylight.

Akai Shuichi changed the subject, "Amanda..."

He just raised the documents in his hand and wanted to speak, but then he lowered his head and looked at the future that had appeared beside them at some point.

Yi Tiao Wei sat backwards in the chair, his chin resting on the back of the chair, looking at him quietly, as if he was looking at a dead person, and it was unknown how long he had been looking at him.

But of course the colleague was not dead. Ichijo Mirai was kind and generous. He would not hold a grudge against his colleague because he openly stabbed him. When Akai Shuichi seemed to be suddenly sleepy and needed to take a nap with his eyes open, he slowly said, "I actually wanted to say this a long time ago. 'Amanda' is definitely an important person."

"She's Amanda!"

Akai Shuichi: “…Yeah.”

"What are you 'hmm' about?" asked a future. "Do you understand the meme? You're not doing it for free and you're attacking your colleagues personally."

He wandered off again.

Yi Tiao Wei was not wandering around aimlessly. On the contrary, he was quite purposeful. He tapped his toes a few times and stopped in front of an FBI agent who was on the phone. He handed over a document to indicate his presence, and when his colleague was about to hang up, he shook his head and left.

He left, but not completely, he went around to the side and rear.

The colleague was completely unaware, and after breathing a sigh of relief she continued on the phone, her tone sweet and affectionate, "I actually drank three cups of coffee today! Three cups! It's only three o'clock now, I must have a big meal!" She probably told her boyfriend before that she hated drinking coffee, so her boyfriend immediately responded with concern and heartache, and then started to recommend restaurants, but hesitated whether to choose a restaurant with good desserts, or to have a good dessert after dinner.

"It's not that hard," the colleague said. "I'm very nervous about the case. I don't feel any pain when I'm focusing on the case. Besides, the things I need to finish today are particularly troublesome..."

As they chatted, Ichijo Mirai turned around and looked at Akai Shuichi and Judy who were staring at him quietly. After weighing the pros and cons, he had to give up the quest and walked over again, giving respect to this half-couple who should have given him great experience but now seemed to have no connection with him at all, "What's wrong?"

Judy hesitated, "You..."

A future: "Me."

"What's wrong? I didn't push the 'blonde killer' into a pit in broad daylight. Think about it, I really didn't do it," he said confidently, taking the initiative to say something that Judy didn't dare to think about, "I'm learning how to fall in love."

The trick he just learned seemed to be useful, but also seemed to be useless, because he seemed to have learned it by himself, when he accidentally said that FBI coffee was bitter one day.

Suzuki Sonoko knew that his tongue was sensitive and he didn't like bitter coffee.

"Really?" Judy nodded. "So you are, uh, studying..."

She couldn't continue speaking, and hurried to see Akai Shuichi, asking for help, "Quickly expose this guy's perfunctory excuses in a few words!"

Akai Shuichi, who was always righteous and reliable, really spoke up: "You guys chat, I'll go look up the information."

Judy: "..."

She stared at Akai Shuichi's back as he left. After more than ten seconds, she had to turn around and look at Ichijo Mirai, "Haha, actually, I also..."

Ichijou looked at her quietly.

She remained calm and said, "I'm free too."

"OK, that's great, please take a seat," Ichijo Mirai nodded with satisfaction, "Although you have no experience now, I think you will have experience in the future, and you are a normal person, so I have some questions I want to ask you."

Judy sat down, feeling that today was probably a dream of eating poisonous mushrooms. She managed to keep a straight face and didn't even complain about "You know you are not a normal person", and sat down as ordered, "What?"

"If," said the future, "just if. I know you don't seem to have time for love right now. You're busy dealing with cases, dealing with cases, dealing with cases every day."

He thought about it and found that most of these seemed to be troubles caused by him, but they could be ignored. "I mean, if you were with Akai Shuichi, how would you get along with him?"

Judy: "..."

"Uh," she could only express her thoughts tactfully and carefully, "Excuse me, can you ask me, 'If rest after get off work is personified, and you are together with rest after get off work, how should you get along with him'?"

"I have to work overtime today. If you mention Mr. Akai, I will lose control of my emotions and my desire to kill will increase slightly."

"If you don't like 'taking a break from get off work', 'the numbers in your bank account' will also work."

A future: "?"

"..." He didn't mention that he seemed to be the culprit for most of the overtime, and changed the topic swiftly, "OK, then the two you mentioned, if you were in love with them, how would you get along with them?"

"I'm asking, how can I make her happy?"

This is indeed a problem.

Judy thought quietly for five or six minutes before she looked up and met the eyes of the future who was sitting in a chair with an unusual seriousness. She said, "Excuse me, let me ask a question."

Then he lowered his head, quickly edited a message and sent it out: [Hi, everyone, is this the dream world?]
A future looked at her screen and saw that the message quickly received several sympathetic replies, most of which meant something like 'How pitiful, crazy again'.

So Judy looked up calmly, "Okay, I'm done asking questions."

As she spoke, she pinched her thigh without changing her expression. Her expression immediately turned strange. “It actually hurts… Okay, cough.”

"It's easy to make her happy. Everyone has their own preferences. Some people like furry animals, some like animals with smooth skin, some like lively places, and some like to stay quietly with the one they love. You can search for things that lovers must do, try them one by one, and write down the things that make her happy?"

Of course, Yichi Future did such a simple thing. He nodded and asked, "Is she always happy?"

He gave a detailed example, "If your lover is afraid of spiders, but she is no longer afraid when you pick up the spider, and you say that spiders are not scary and are cute, and you can touch them, she will really want to touch them without thinking, and she will happily look at you if you get rid of them in time..."

Ah oh.

Judy quickly realized the point: the lady who made her respect and pity was so happy when she was with a future, even seeing spiders, which she was afraid of and repulsed by, let alone other things that she was not repulsed by. I am afraid that as long as she is with her lover, she will be very happy in most things.

"She loves you very much," she could only say this. She looked at the future with eyes that could not help but be scrutinizing 'an unreliable lover who loves the young lady so much'. "Since she loves you so much that she is happy with most things, why not choose something you like?"

"Believe me, knowing your preferences may be like an iced drink in summer to her, satisfying and sweet."

"I don't have any preferences," Ichijou answered truthfully, "I only have a few preferences, such as not liking coffee, but she knows all of them."

He didn't say it, but she knew.

"I don't care about the rest," he thought, remembering that no matter what they played, the cheerful Suzuki Sonoko would smile with sparkling green eyes, and he smiled, "Whether it's watching a movie, playing, skiing, or swimming, I want her to be happy."

And after making her happy, I want to make her happier.

Judy looked at Yi Tiao Future, and then looked at it again, and then looked at it again, and finally had to come to the conclusion: when getting along with her lover, Yi Tiao Future was happy with most things.

In other words: in most things, this couple is happy as long as they are with each other, even things that should be boring or annoying.

...Are you really not showing off your affection?
Oops, it seems like there is something more resentful than the resentment about work!
How could this guy find a lover in the future! And such a loving couple!

"Okay," Judy swallowed her question of 'Are you killing me by yourself because of me?', "That's easy to handle. You like to spend time with each other, so spend more time with each other."

She answered the question of 'how to get along': "I will, uh, try my best to accompany her, express my love to her, interact with her intimately, and do things together to enhance our relationship, such as playing, watching movies, or even reading quietly together?"

Ichijo thought about it and found that he had done most of them, so he asked himself what he didn't seem to have done, "How to 'express love to her'?"

Judy again: "..."

She looked at a future and never became more certain of her vague guesses than at this moment: the family in the future must be abnormal.

How easy is it to express love? Most people can do it easily, but for some people it is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Most of them have family problems. Their parents did not express love in their childhood, so the children did not learn it.

Childhood is very important to a person, just like laying the foundation. Even if you start to forget it after you have gone through it, the foundation is still there. A good foundation allows people to laugh and play on it, while a bad foundation is shaky and will sometimes collapse as soon as people step on it.

"You can read more picture books for children, or watch TV shows and movies featuring children, and observe how their parents love them," Judy could only say, "I don't mean anything else, but you know a lot about the psychology of criminals. You should know the flaws of many criminals, and you should be able to guess why you can't express love."

A future fell into thought.

After more than ten seconds, he nodded, "Okay, I think I know the meaning of the childhood special of the game... Do you have anything else to say? I think I have to forget you first, and then go off work to unlock the new game?"

what?
It's only three o'clock now!!!

Judy, who expected to work overtime until 1 a.m. today, was instantly filled with resentment. She didn't take the 'Oblivion' joke seriously, but she choked for a long time before she managed to squeeze out a sentence, "I'm curious about how you actually have someone you like, no, should I say love? How did you know?"

A future that can't even express love!'

Tell her, let her be killed by the hateful and scheming couple!
She didn't even ask, "Is that lady a normal person, since she loves you so much?" This was actually a question she had in mind, but it sounded like a provocation when she said it!

"How do you know?" Ichijo Mirai looked at Judy doubtfully, giving her a look that a normal person would give to an abnormal person.

“When you fall in love with someone, your heart will beat for her, and every beat of your heart will call out her name. Even if you are the most ignorant person, at that moment you will know without a teacher that you have fallen in love with her.”

Just like when the future looked into those tearful green eyes outside the window.
