Chapter 460

After extracting fingerprints from the book, Rei Furuya immediately compared them with the fingerprints that had been extracted from Shinichi Kudo's house, which were suspected to belong to Subaru Okiya.

He certainly obtained Usakabe Saiki's fingerprints as well, but frankly, they were meaningless...

He cooked and cleaned at Usakuya Saiki's house, and had too many opportunities to get Usakuya Saiki's fingerprints, but what use would they be?

There is no evidence of Bo Yezhai's illegal or criminal activities; at most, he himself can identify the perpetrator as a witness.

Seeing how naturally Saiki Usaba handed him the book with his fingerprints on it, Rei Furuya was convinced that Usaba had already prepared a backup plan. If he wanted to pull any tricks, Rei Furuya would definitely be unable to continue as an undercover agent...

It's estimated that even if Usoya Saiki, who doesn't get involved, he wouldn't be able to extract any important information about the organization, the end result would be that the Japanese Public Security Bureau would lose all means of obtaining intelligence about the organization.

It's not worth it at all; there's absolutely no need for it.

It was only because Usaba Saiki had a good relationship with the Kudo family and often visited their home that Usaba Saiki's fingerprints needed to be excluded, so they were included in the identification system.

After the police used their authority to cut in line and compare the results again, Furuya Rei quickly got the results.

After excluding Usuiba Saiki's fingerprints, there are still corresponding fingerprints between the Kudo residence and Usuiba Saiki's family home.

In other words, the fingerprints of the young man at the Kudo residence who appeared after Shuichi Akai's death matched those of Shuichi Akai himself.

That's Shuichi Akai!!!

As Furuya Rei looked at the analysis report, the image of the café that Usaku Saiki had mentioned as having a surprise once again came to mind.

Looking at it this way, that FBI agent named Jodie is really quite ordinary... The Edogawa Conan at that time was actually Kudo Shinichi, and the Okiya Subaru he thought was a passerby was actually Akai Shuichi!!!

But Usoppō Saiki already knew all this! He just wouldn't tell him directly!

...Never mind, since it's Bo Yezaki, it's normal not to talk to him. After all, what is he to Bo Yezaki anyway?

He should be grateful that Bo Yezaki didn't report him; he shouldn't ask for more.

The meticulous and serious top student at the police academy, Rei Furuya, lowers his standards again and again when he meets Saiki Usaku, demanding very little.

After calming down, Furuya Rei also spoke with Morofushi Kagemitsu.

"...It really is Shuichi Akai." Hiromitsu Morofushi was utterly astonished. "But Kir shot him in the head at close range. If there was a problem, it would have been impossible not to notice... So, Kir was also an undercover agent?"

Furuya Rei sighed, "Possibly."

Morofushi Kagemitsu analyzed, "Akai Shuichi is still alive and living in the Kudo family. The Kudo family has a good relationship with Usuiba. If this was all planned by Usuiba, then he... really is one of us, right?"

If it were before, Furuya Rei would have already complained that he shouldn't always view Usuo Saiki through a filter, but now that so many facts are in front of him, he feels a bit weak in his rebuttal.

"...Is it possible that it's just a coincidence? After all, the Kudo family and the FBI originally had a good relationship. Maybe they cooperated first, and then Usoya noticed something was wrong when she went to the Kudo family..."

Zhu Fujingguang frowned: "I know it's hard for you to accept, but too many coincidences can't be considered coincidences anymore."

Ryougu Zero closes his eyes.

This isn't a hard question to accept... it's a question of how Usaku Saiki's brain is even structured!

That wasn't his attitude of wanting to help!

If someone really wanted to help, they could have just told Shuichi Akai about faking his death in a single sentence. Instead, they told him there was a "surprise at the coffee shop," causing him to spend a lot of time and energy on it for months...

From Furuya Rei's perspective, he felt that Usaba Saiki was enjoying watching his busy and bustling life.

Furthermore, because Rei Furuya's image of Saiki Usaba was too abnormal, Rei always felt uncomfortable when he applied Morofushi Kagemitsu's logic of treating normal people to Saiki Usaba. He felt that Morofushi Kagemitsu was thinking too much in some places and too little in others.

Morofushi Kagemitsu didn't intend to convince Furuya Rei all at once. In fact, it was a good thing that the two had disagreements on this matter, as one of them always needed to be more vigilant. So he steered the conversation back to Akai Shuichi: "Now that you know Akai Shuichi isn't dead, what are your plans?"

Jianggu Ling: "…………"

To be honest, I haven't really thought about it yet.

After all, he was still doing well as an undercover agent in the organization, so there was no need for him to contact Shuichi Akai, as that would only expose him unilaterally.

It would be a waste to let Shuichi Akai go like this... He's still planning to contact Kir. If we report to the organization that Shuichi Akai isn't dead, the Kudo family's situation and Kir's situation might be exposed, which isn't worth it.

In particular, it will also involve Usaku Saiki, and I believe Usaku Saiki would not agree to him flipping the table like this.

Since Morofushi Hiromitsu did not die in front of Akai Shuichi as in the original work, Miyano Akemi and Miyano Shiho, although implicated by Akai Shuichi, are at least still alive. Furuya Rei's dislike for Akai Shuichi is simply a dislike for the FBI, and he does not have an obsession with killing him.

On the contrary, the FBI had some intelligence about the organization that he really wanted.

Morofushi Kagemitsu thought for a moment: "How about I make contact when there's a need? Anyway, my undercover identity has already been exposed, and I'm basically faking my death now, so it won't matter if he knows I'm an undercover agent."

Rei Furuya was somewhat dissatisfied that they were still cooperating with the FBI, but for the sake of the ultimate interests, it wasn't a bad idea to put up with it for the time being.

Morofushi Kagemitsu could tell that Furuya Rei still had a lot of grievances against the FBI, so he advised, "Look on the bright side. Since he's still alive, at least Usuiba won't let him off the hook..."

Rei Furuya: "...You're right."

Thinking about the torment that Shuichi Akai had suffered at the hands of Saiki Usui, Rei Furuya suddenly felt calm.

As for why the FBI didn't arrest Usaku Saiki when they knew his identity, he could roughly guess the reason. Just like he was too lazy to care about Usaku Saiki, Usaku Saiki had never been in contact with the core of the organization and now seemed to be disloyal to the organization. Perhaps the FBI wanted to win Usaku Saiki over. With Usaku Saiki's status as a second-generation member of the organization, if he really wanted to work, he would still have the opportunity to obtain a lot of intelligence.

“Then now we’ll wait to disguise you.” Furuya Rei also felt wronged that he had been making Morofushi Kagemitsu hide all this time. “I wonder who Usuiha will find to disguise you…”

Morofushi Kagemitsu joked, "It might be Kaito Kid."

On the day they agreed to disguise Morofushi Kagemitsu, Furuya Rei didn't trust anyone who might come, so he hid nearby instead of staying in the safe house, leaving Morofushi Kagemitsu to entertain him while he monitored the situation using a listening device.

First, someone knocked on the door.

Looking through the peephole, Morofushi Kagemitsu saw that the other person was wearing a baseball cap, with his hair probably tucked inside, and the brim pulled low, making it impossible to see his face.

Although it was almost time for the appointment, he still asked cautiously, "Who is it?"

"Salesperson."

Morofushi Kagemitsu: "..."

Would a legitimate salesperson directly admit they're a salesperson?! Even if they did, wouldn't their first question be, "Do you need xxx?"?

And isn't that voice Usui Saiki?!

Morofushi Kagemitsu silently opened the door and watched as Usaku Saiki, trying to cover his tracks, entered the house wearing a hat.

"Long time no see," Morifushi Kagemitsu greeted him. "You..."

Bo Yezaki glanced at him and said, "Go wash your face, and we'll begin."

Zhu Fujingguang raised an eyebrow: "You're the one who disguised me? When did you learn how to disguise yourself?"

"It always will be."

For example, he is currently in a state of light disguise.

The disguise techniques in the Detective Conan universe are simply outrageous. Usaku Saiki never even touched makeup in his previous life. The one who can disguise himself is actually the disguise of Hanchuan Shenliu.

Since it's already a world of Detective Conan, it would be a waste not to give his alternate identity a disguise... He's never had a chance to use it, and he feels it's a bit of a pity.

So his current state is that of Hanchuan Shenliu, wearing colored contact lenses and a wig, and then turning off the [Black Curtain Aura], disguising himself as Usaku Saiki, and coming to Morofushi Kagemitsu's door to disguise him.

Of course, he wouldn't forget the detail of voice changing.

However, because Hanakawa Shinryu's physical abilities are slightly stronger than Usaku Saiki's, his walking posture and other aspects are somewhat different, and Usaku Saiki makes no attempt to conceal these differences!

This caused Morofushi Kagemitsu's initially relaxed gaze to become alert again as Usaku Saiki strolled around the safe house.

"..."

Something's wrong! Something's definitely wrong with this thin leaf!

The silence after entering the room felt even more unsettling! Thinking about it carefully, it seemed like the tone of voice was subtly different too…

He suddenly began to contribute his long-lost skepticism.

Morofushi Kagemitsu reached out and called Usakuya Saiki, but no one answered, and the person he was in the room with did not respond.

He pondered for a moment, then obediently went to wash his face. He sat down in the chair and looked at the young man who was pinching his chin and examining his face... whose identity seemed somewhat suspicious.

After thinking for a moment, the other person asked, "Are you planning to change your eye color? Are you against contact lenses?"

Morofushi Kagemitsu cautiously asked, "...Do you have any suggestions?"

"The colored contact lenses I'm currently using are pretty good."

Morofushi Kagemitsu: "…………"

He stared at the other person's light green eyes for a long time before finally unable to hold back his question: "Who exactly are you? You're not Bo Ye, are you?"

Usakabe Saiki already has green eyes, so why would he need to wear colored contact lenses... Besides, the other party doesn't seem to intend to hide this fact, and has already told him directly! So it's okay if he just asks directly, right?

"I am Usaku Saiki."

"...You are not."

Upon hearing this earnest reply, Morofushi Kagemitsu became even more certain—if Usaku Saiki had truly been misunderstood, how could his tone have remained so normal?!

He thought for a moment, ruling out Vermouth, and cautiously guessed, "Are you Phantom Thief Kid?"

To be honest, he wouldn't be surprised if Usoppei knew anyone now!

The reason I'm discussing fingerprints in this chapter is to tell you that trying to uncover Thin Leaf's secrets using fingerprints is futile; don't even think about it.

Although Rei Furuya doesn't hate Shuichi Akai as much as he did in the original work, he would still be furious if he saw the FBI directing Japanese police in cases involving the robbery of police officers on Japanese soil.
