Chapter 468

Not to mention Usaku Saiki, even Edogawa Conan was curious about this question and had already asked it once, so he didn't find it strange.

Sera Masumi hesitated for a moment before answering cautiously.

"He did come back alone."

Bo Yezhai sighed.

Conan Edogawa and Sera Masumi both tensed up at the same time.

Sera Masumi knew that Usaku Saiki was Bordenis—she had met him when she was a child, and he almost exposed her older brother who was undercover. Edogawa Conan, on the other hand, was on edge because he was unsure whether his Usaku Saiki had any ulterior motives or was just asking casually. He was nervous because he was wary of the unknown.

His brother's words were too much of a test of one's nerves. Conan Edogawa felt that he hadn't recovered from the shock he had just experienced and didn't want to ride a roller coaster again anytime soon.

Usoya Saiki: "Parents these days are so irresponsible, just leaving minors out alone like that..."

Sera Masumi's lips twitched, but she still defended herself: "I used to live in Japan, but I was abroad before... I have other relatives in Japan."

“Oh, actually I wasn’t mainly talking about you.” Usui Saiki rested his chin on his hand. “I was talking about Kudo Shinichi.”

Conan Edogawa: "…………"

Sera Masumi paused for a moment, then suddenly perked up: "Is Mr. Usaba very familiar with Shinichi Kudo? I heard from Ran that he's been investigating a case recently?"

Bo Yezaki blinked: "I think we're pretty close? What do you want to ask?"

"I'm just a little curious. I've heard about it a lot, but I've never actually seen anyone," Sera Masumi said.

She was genuinely conflicted.

Ran told me that Usaku Saiki and Kudo Shinichi have been friends for many years...

If Conan Edogawa is indeed Shinichi Kudo, do the members of this organization know Shinichi Kudo's whereabouts? And does Shinichi Kudo know the identities of the organization members?

She felt like she was the only one with God's perspective, and she couldn't reveal the plot at will, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

But there was nothing she could do. Her mother had told her that although Usaku Saiki's stance was somewhat ambiguous and he seemed to have helped her older brother, she should still be cautious to avoid any accidents.

She almost caused trouble for her older brother before, and she has reflected on it carefully. Now she can only obey.

However, she is now practically Shinichi Kudo's classmate, so asking this kind of question shouldn't reveal anything, right?

Usakabe Saiki nodded: "I understand. I heard you're a detective too, so you're interested in famous high school detectives, is that right?"

Sera Masumi was quite pleased that Usaku Saiki could still find an excuse for her: "Yes!"

"Then my suggestion is..."

Bo Yezaki's eyes crinkled into a smile.

"Kids should focus on their studies and mind their own business."

Sera Masumi: "...!"

Is this a warning?!

Although children grow up quickly, she had seen Usaku Saiki several years ago after all.

If Usoya Saiki remembers her and knows about her relationship with her older brother, then these words will not be a simple encouragement to study, but a warning!

Conan Edogawa, having often heard Saiki Usaba complain about his lack of professionalism, was used to the wording and didn't find anything wrong with it. However, Sera Masumi's reaction was what puzzled him more.

When Sera Masumi first transferred to our school, Conan Edogawa even suspected that she was Bourbon. Although the suspicion has been cleared now, her tone and attitude when she speaks, especially when she mentions Shinichi Kudo, are still very intriguing.

However, he didn't seem to have any ill intentions, and Sera Masumi had even saved him several times. With some speculation, Conan Edogawa wasn't as wary of Sera Masumi as he had been at the beginning.

As a result, Sera Masumi reacted so strongly...

Is it because he was caught investigating him, and he's feeling guilty?

Conan Edogawa thought to himself with a heavy heart, "So why exactly is Sera Masumi investigating him?"

The three people at the table had lost their smiles, but Usakabe Saiki remained unaffected, happily drinking his beverage and appearing to be in a very good mood.

Amuro Tooru was speechless at the situation, so he went up to ask Sera Masumi if she had anything she wanted to order, in order to ease the tension between them.

Just as Sera Masumi was about to order drinks, she heard a sudden commotion at the door. Enomoto Azusa reluctantly led the three of them into the coffee shop.

“Mr. Amuro, these three... all claim to be the captain’s former master.”

Captain is the cat that used to roam freely at Poirot Cafe. It would come over to mooch food at mealtimes. When the Detective Boys were locked in a refrigerated truck, Conan Edogawa managed to get the cat to come to Poirot Cafe for help by slipping a note into Captain's collar.

After that, probably because the captain was still letting the cat roam freely, Enomoto Azusa took the cat in herself, and now someone has suddenly come knocking on her door.

"Isn't that because we didn't know the cat was here before?"

A young man wearing a fisherman's hat and looking unkempt said casually, "I only found out I was here because I saw it in a magazine."

"A magazine?" Sera Masumi asked, puzzled, but her mood improved considerably.

Just now, Sera Masumi was both scared and on guard because of Usaku Saiki, but now that a case has suddenly come knocking on her door, she immediately feels much better.

Just then, she realized she might have stepped on a landmine. Remembering her mother's advice to talk less, she decided to change the subject. This newly emerged case seemed safe, so she quickly began to change the subject.

“This is the magazine. Someone interviewed us before.” Enomoto Azusa took out a magazine. “Look, it’s about Poirot Café. The photo of me and the captain is right here.”

"Hmm?" Sera Masumi flipped through the pages. "Aren't there any photos of Mr. Amuro?"

Amuro Tooru smiled and said, "I wasn't feeling well that day, so I took the day off and couldn't come. It's a real shame."

Conan Edogawa: "…………"

No, you must have deliberately taken leave to avoid the interview!

Neither members of the organization nor the Japanese Public Security Bureau should have their photos published in a magazine, right?

Sera Masumi looked at Amuro Tooru suspiciously: "Really? That's quite a coincidence."

When she met her older brother and Usaku Saiki a few years ago, there was a person among the people with them who looked a lot like Amuro Tooru.

Sera Masumi suspects that the other party is also a member of the organization.

However, because the other person was wearing a baseball cap that covered their face and their clothes were very ordinary, unlike Usui Saiki who was... well, unique, her memory was a bit hazy and she wasn't very sure.

The main issue is that if Amuro Tooru is also a member of the organization, then the number of members here is a bit excessive. I know Japan is small, but there's no need to prove yourself like this.

Are all the people from the organization gathered here for Shinichi Kudo?

Or is there a bigger goal?

Sera Masumi also discussed it with her mother, but unfortunately, they didn't have enough information and couldn't come up with anything.

Usakabe Saiki suddenly became very enthusiastic: "Let's not disturb the coffee shop's business here. Let's go upstairs and borrow Mr. Mori's office."

No one objected.

Enomoto Azusa asked others to help bring the cat from her home, and she continued working at the coffee shop. Amuro Tooru, that good-for-nothing, followed her upstairs.

When Kogoro Mouri heard the group's purpose, he was speechless: "Do I really have to handle this kind of case?"

"No need to trouble the teacher, we just need to borrow this place for a moment."

While Amuro Tooru was negotiating with Mouri Kogoro, Usuba Saiki was already petting the cat.

The cat at the Mori agency is not the calico cat the three are looking for, but a Russian Blue.

Ran Mouri explained, "My mom is going on a long trip, so I left the cat here for a few days... It still loves Bo Ye Ge so much."

Usoya Saiki said smugly, "After all, I'm the one who bandaged its wound!"

Sera Masumi raised an eyebrow: "Huh? Mr. Usuiba even helped look for a cat?"

"No, it's Bo Ye-ge... uh." Ran Mouri suddenly realized that it wasn't convenient to talk about celebrities.

But Usakabe Saiki didn't care about that: "I saw on the street that Ms. Mizunashi's car had hit a cat and she looked very helpless, so I went to help her and found someone to adopt it... After all, she often travels for work and it's not suitable for her to keep a cat."

Conan Edogawa: "…………"

ah.

He almost forgot... Bo Ye also knows Mizunashi Rena! The CIA undercover agent codenamed Kir in the organization!

Bo Ye knew Bourbon because Bourbon, like his father, was a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau. He knew Vermouth because Vermouth approached him for his father's inheritance... but his acquaintance with Gil was just a chance encounter on the street.

Is this...is this still a coincidence?

However, because Usaku Saiki was too frank, even telling him about the Japanese Public Security Bureau in Bourbon, completely disregarding Amuro Tooru's life or death, it was clear that he was on his side. Edogawa Conan couldn't help but find some excuses for Usaku Saiki.

It's not surprising that it's a coincidence, is it? The first two cases had their reasons, as for Rena Mizunashi...

Aside from the time he was stalked by Gin and got hit with a stick (which was his own initiative), he frequently encountered members of the organization without any prior warning. For example, Tequila was blown up at the game launch event, and Mizunashi Rena actively sought out Uncle Mori. He even bumped into Gin and Vodka on the street.

It seems like the problem is that Japan is too small, so it's not surprising that Usui-san would witness Rena Mizunashi hitting a cat with her car.

Conan Edogawa convinced himself and decided to ask more questions when no one else was around.

But Amuro Tooru's feelings became much more complicated upon hearing this.

He had just confirmed that Shuichi Akai had faked his death, and as a result, he also began to suspect Kir. He even discussed with Hiromitsu Morofushi whether Kir might be an undercover agent...

He had heard about Usaku Saiki and Kir finding the cat before, but at the time he thought it was just a whim of Usaku Saiki. Now, looking back, he had many more thoughts.

Amuro Tooru thought about it for a moment. He was an undercover agent, Kagemitsu was an undercover agent, Akai Shuichi was an undercover agent, and now Kir was most likely an undercover agent as well... Then he counted the number of undercover agents Gin executed every year... There were so many undercover agents... It really felt like there were undercover agents all around him...

Amuro Tooru thought calmly.

—In the end, the world has become the way Potts wanted it to be.

Thin leaves are still in Potness's options, lol.

.

Zero Brother: This prosperous era is just as Potness wished.

Bo Ye: Enough with the nonsense, just tell me whether you want the organization to be full of undercover agents!

Zero: ...Okay, I hope so too.
