Chapter 446

Conan Edogawa noticed when he glanced at Saiki Usaku twice.

Just kidding. When Usoba Saiki was disguised as Hanukawa Shinryu, he paid extra attention to who was observing his face and carefully chose the right moment to force the other person to look away first. How could he not notice Edogawa Conan's supposedly discreet scrutiny?

He's not like those guys who, like Conan Edogawa, stand right next to Kogoro Mouri and speak using a voice changer, acting like they don't even see him!

Therefore, when Usaku Saiki turned his head, he saw Edogawa Conan with a thoughtful expression, his face full of "I have an idea".

Usoppei narrowed his eyes, his mind racing. Considering the current situation, he knew what Conan Edogawa was up to.

But he pretended not to have guessed, and even made a gesture as if he was about to leave the scene—he wasn't a suspect, and he didn't know the deceased at all. It was perfectly acceptable for him to go to the living room to lie down for a while, and the police wouldn't say anything.

But the police didn't say anything, which made Conan Edogawa anxious.

Just kidding! Right now, the only person he can turn to for help is Brother Bo Ye! What will he do if Brother Bo Ye leaves?!

He couldn't just use an anesthetic needle to anesthetize Bo Ye Ge, since Bourbon was right there. If it weren't to avoid arousing Bourbon's suspicion, couldn't he have just anesthetized Uncle Mao Li?

Conan Edogawa quickly ran over and grabbed Usui Saiki's sleeve: "Usui-nii..."

He desperately tried to signal to Usakabe Saiki with his eyes that he wanted to talk to him privately.

Usoppei pretended not to understand: "Don't you love solving cases the most? Stay here."

“…Bo Ye-nii!” Conan Edogawa wasn’t fooled and was getting a little anxious. “Please!”

Usakabe Saiki then slowly followed Edogawa Conan to a corner of the room.

Because many people were talking in the room, they kept their voices down in a corner so no one could hear them.

"Brother Bo Ye, haven't you figured out who the culprit is yet?"

Bo Yezhai raised an eyebrow: "Hmph, you're starting to use reverse psychology now? We're brothers in arms, and you're trying to outsmart us?"

Conan Edogawa: "…………"

How come he didn't notice that Bo Ye was on the same page with him?

It's obvious that Brother Bo Ye always brushes him off!

But now that he needed someone's help, Conan Edogawa swallowed his sharp tongue and ignored the matter, continuing to work towards his goal.

"Brother Bo Ye, you're the only one I can trust now." Conan Edogawa started playing the emotional card. "With Mr. Amuro nearby, I can't act like I used to..."

Considering Conan Edogawa's unfortunate injury today, Usoppei Saiki chose to show mercy and refrained from further tormenting him for his own perverse pleasure: "What do you plan to do?"

Conan Edogawa was taken aback to find that Usaku Saiki had actually softened his stance, and was even a little suspicious that Usaku Saiki had come up with some new tricks. He cautiously probed, "Usaku-nii, go tell the police the truth..."

Usaku Saiki frowned.

Conan Edogawa promptly changed his tune: "--That's absolutely impossible, after all, it would be too much trouble for Usopp-nii."

Usoya Saiki's expression softened: "Then what should we do?"

"How about this?" Conan Edogawa presented a truly sophisticated plan. "I'll put a megaphone on you, and then I'll use a voice changer to imitate your voice. You just need to lip-sync. How about that? I've worked with Professor Agasa many times, so the lip-syncing should be about right!"

Bo Yezhai pondered.

Conan Edogawa pondered nervously, wondering whether Saiki Usaba would actually grant the request.

It's just lip-syncing, it shouldn't be tiring for him, right?

The undercover system spoke quietly: "Look at these suspicion points... He can farm them so easily and effortlessly. Isn't he good enough to you? And yet you're always dissatisfied with him. I think you really should upgrade."

The skepticism system, already manipulated by Usakabe Saiki, is now facing another round of manipulation from colleagues, and is starting to doubt the systems management team: [Maybe I really am being ungrateful...]

Bo Yezhai's Record: [...]

Helping him sign a contract with the undercover system was probably the biggest mistake the suspicion system ever made...

"In short," Bo Yezaki finally spoke, "let me summarize, your demand is simply to solve the case as soon as possible, right?"

Conan Edogawa quickly nodded: "Right! We can't keep going like this. If Uncle Mori says something he shouldn't and his intelligence is questioned, we might all be in danger."

Bo Yezhai nodded: "Alright, since you've been unusually cautious and even got injured, I'll help you this once."

Conan Edogawa was overjoyed: "Thank you, Usopp-san!"

“You’re welcome, but I want to solve the problem my own way,” said Bo Yezaki.

Conan Edogawa: "...Huh?"

Wait, what method?! What else could Brother Bo Ye do? Why does he feel uneasy?!

Conan Edogawa was both nervous and worried, afraid that if he didn't see it for even a second, his friend Usopp would give him a big surprise.

Last time, when Kaito Kid said that he didn't hijack the plane at all, and that the idea and subsequent actions of hijacking were all the work of Usui Saiki, he was really shocked and gained a new understanding of Usui Saiki's ability to cause trouble.

This is why Conan Edogawa sometimes gets a little flustered when he sees Usui's initiative suddenly become stronger.

"Don't follow me, or I'll quit," said Bo Yezhaiji.

Conan Edogawa could only pretend to be paying attention to Kogoro Mouri with unease, but his attention was actually focused on Saiki Usubaba.

Soon, Conan Edogawa saw that Saiki Usaba walked up to Tooru Amuro and said a few words to him.

Amuro Tooru's expression gradually became somewhat subtle. He said a few words and then nodded.

Conan Edogawa used all his acting skills to control his expression and eyes, but his mind was in complete turmoil.

What is Bo Ye doing? Why did he suddenly come to see Bourbon? Isn't he afraid that the other party will find out something?

We keep telling him to be careful, to avoid investigating that organization, and not to contact suspicious people, but does that mean he's perfectly fine when it comes to himself?!

While Conan Edogawa waited anxiously, Tooru Amuro cleared his throat and suddenly spoke: "Everyone, I already know who the culprit is."

Actually, when Conan Edogawa was trying so hard to hint at things to Kogoro Mouri and the police, Tooru Amuro had already deduced the truth.

However, because he now suspects Conan Edogawa's identity, and the timing and manner of "Sleeping Kogoro's" appearance also make him somewhat suspicious, he decides to wait and see what Conan Edogawa will do.

However, Usui Yasaki urged him to solve the case quickly, saying that he was hungry and needed to eat. Considering that Usui Yasaki might have some kind of outburst when hungry, Amuro Tooru had no choice but to agree to terminate the observation.

At this moment, he remembered the small bowl that Usaku Saiki had stolen, which made him feel very complicated. He wondered if Usaku Saiki had already discovered that the murderer wanted to kill him but just didn't stop him. Usaku Saiki's amazing ability to judge people had already been listed as one of the world's unsolved mysteries in his personal ranking.

Well, observing Conan Edogawa this once won't hurt. I'll find another time when there's no Usuo Saiki to do it.

Amuro Tooru's remarks quickly attracted everyone's attention.

To get Usui Saiki to eat quickly, Amuro Tooru didn't even keep the audience in suspense, starting by revealing who the culprit was, then explaining the method of the crime, and finally presenting the evidence.

While keeping an eye on Amuro Tooru's deductions, Conan Edogawa couldn't help but quietly sidle up to Usui Saiki and whisper, "What did you just say to him? Why did he suddenly go off to solve the case?"

He felt that Amuro Tooru's smooth reasoning clearly indicated that he already knew the truth but was just hiding it. And yet, Usopp could actually get a member of the organization who was hiding his true abilities to show his skills... Is this the kind of eloquence that can persuade people to assist in hijacking? He had really learned something new.

Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?

Without hesitation, Conan Edogawa replied, "The truth."

Usoya Saiki: "I said I'm hungry, can you solve the case quickly?"

Conan Edogawa was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "What about the lie?"

Usakabe Saiki then fabricated a story: "I said this is a test from Kogoro Mouri for you. If you can't solve such a simple case, it means you have no talent and you can wait to be kicked out."

Conan Edogawa nodded with a serious expression, then remained silent for a while before saying, "These two... are actually fake, aren't they?"

Bo Yezhai shrugged and uttered a classic scumbag line: "If you insist on thinking this way, there's nothing I can do."

Conan Edogawa's lips twitched.

That's enough, isn't it? It's fine to like joking, but you can't be joking all the time!

“If you really don’t want to accept the premise that Amuro Tooru is so easily persuaded,” Usui Saiki said sincerely, “you can take it as me threatening him.”

"You'll be in trouble if you don't solve the case, right..." Conan Edogawa sighed, "Forget it! Usui-kun, you need to be mindful of what you're doing!"

The first part sounds unreliable, but threats are even more unreliable.

Although Brother Bo Ye is somewhat unrestrained in his actions, you can tell from Brother Bo Ye's constant advice to him to be cautious that Brother Bo Ye is actually quite conservative in this regard and would not actually threaten members of the organization who are obviously problematic.

I guess I just wanted to see his pained expression of curiosity that he couldn't get an answer from.

Having been tormented by Usui Saiki's perverse sense of humor for years, to the point that he tends to think about things in that direction first, Conan Edogawa is seriously considering this.

Usaku Saiki patted Edogawa Conan on the shoulder: "You... are quite good at reading the room sometimes."

That rendered all the other reasons he came up with useless.

Meanwhile, the perpetrator has confessed to the murder—because the victim killed another of their close friends, and she wanted revenge.

The case is closed.

Bo Yezaki stretched and said, "Done!"

Conan Edogawa: "...It's not like you're the one doing the deduction, so why are you looking like you're having a really hard time?!"

He finally managed to persuade Brother Bo Ye to solve the case, but Brother Bo Ye then outsourced it to the people they should be wary of... He really couldn't learn this way of thinking.

Bo Ye Zaiji sighed: "Do you think it's easy to come up with an excuse?"

Conan Edogawa thought about it and realized it made sense. To persuade a member of the organization who was pretending to be stupid to do something voluntarily, Usopp would probably have to really put in a lot of effort to use his eloquence...

Bo Yezhai's thoughts.

He came up with a bunch of excuses to fool Conan Edogawa, but the kid only listened to the first few and then stopped listening... All his hard work was wasted, he was so tired!

--------------------

A jerk's classic line: If you insist on thinking that way, there's nothing I can do.

This phrase is often used to manipulate people because it makes them very angry. But when they lose their temper, the other person might say, "Didn't I already go along with what you said? You're being too temperamental," leaving the person wondering if they really overreacted...

The solution is: reflect less on yourself.

.

Conan: I need a mouth double, so I'll ask Bo Ye-ge.

Thin leaf: outsourced to Bourbon

Bourbon: ...?

.

Bo Ye spoke a lot of truth, and even pointed out the lies. She's such a kind person!
