Chapter 493

Usaku Saiki teased Edogawa Conan for a while, then, seeing that the Detective Boys were coming over, he quickly slipped away and sat down at the island counter to watch Amuro Tooru prepare the ingredients.

Amuro Tooru gave a very formulaic greeting.

Usakabe Saiki honestly said, "The guy next door is being suspected."

Amuro Tooru's eyes sharpened instantly, but he quickly recalled the scene he had just witnessed Conan Edogawa chatting with Saiki Usui, and relaxed again: "Conan-kun? How did you find out?"

Since Conan Edogawa is Shinichi Kudo, he can be considered a person on the whitelist. It's okay if he has some doubts, as long as the organization doesn't discover that the person next door is Scotland, who has never been caught.

Usoba Saiki propped his chin on his hand: "Some people are just more sensitive to the aura of the organization's members."

Amuro Tooru's expression became somewhat subtle.

Who is this person? They can sense this... Uh, wait, he remembers that Ai Haibara has always been avoiding him.

After discovering Conan Edogawa's true identity, Tooru Amuro felt as if the fog had suddenly lifted from his eyes, and he suddenly realized that Ai Haibara's true identity was actually Sherry.

As someone who had been persecuted by the organization, Sherry was quite sensitive to the aura of its members, to the point that she developed an almost sixth sense of intuition, which Amuro Tooru could understand.

Sherry was practically one of their own, so she wouldn't complain to the organization. Amuro Tooru relaxed even more, and even joked with Usui Saiki, "You came here just to remind me of this? When did you become so kind?"

"Just a suggestion," said Bo Yezaki without changing his expression. "I think you should take some differentiated actions from the ones next door, so that people won't notice that you two are on good terms."

Amuro Tooru looked at him suspiciously: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Since we're already under suspicion, what's the point of pursuing differentiated actions?

Usoya Saiki: "Why don't you take a few more days off?"

Toru Amuro: "???"

Although Conan Edogawa returned to the Detective Boys, his attention was actually focused on Saiki Usaba and Tooru Amuro.

Compared to him, I believe Mr. Amuro would be more willing to communicate with Usui-san and would trust Usui-san's words more.

Mr. Amuro started speaking normally, but after a few sentences he suddenly became serious. Then, I don't know what Usaba said, but Mr. Amuro's lips started twitching... Oh, he looks speechless now.

Conan Edogawa tried very hard to reconstruct the conversation between the two people in his mind.

The beginning was understandable; it was probably about a member of an organization next door... It seemed that Mr. Amuro didn't know that they were members of the organization, which was why he was so serious. But why did the later part seem so baffling?

Did he think Brother Bo Ye was joking? Seriously, Brother Bo Ye really needs to change this bad habit…

It's also possible that they suspect Bo Ye's source of information...?

After all, Bo Ye himself said he wasn't familiar with the organization and probably didn't know who the people next door were. It was a bit strange that he suddenly came to remind the intelligence agent who was still undercover in the organization, making it seem like Bo Ye had a wider range of intelligence sources.

Actually, Bo Ye could have exposed him! After all, Mr. Amuro has already investigated his identity, hasn't he?

Conan Edogawa felt that he could achieve a relationship with Tooru Amuro similar to that with Shuichi Akai.

However, his collaboration with Mr. Akai was not without its preparations. He first gained the trust of Ms. Jodie, and then helped the FBI, which led to the faking of his death.

When it comes to Mr. Amuro, it always feels like something is missing...

It's possible that when he met Mr. Akai, Mr. Akai had already left the organization due to exposure and was now a pure FBI agent, while Mr. Amuro was still undercover and had to be more cautious in all aspects. Naturally, he couldn't apply the successful template he used with Mr. Akai to his interactions.

According to Bo Ye, Mr. Amuro already knows his identity, but he hasn't said anything. This is a veiled statement. In his view, it means that he doesn't intend to have any in-depth contact with him. He probably thinks that he is useless and that he should just hide well and not be discovered by the organization.

Upon closer examination, it's not entirely unfounded that Mr. Amuro had no intention of cooperating with him.

He almost died after being locked in a refrigerated truck last time, and it was only thanks to Mr. Amuro's rescue that he was saved. Perhaps in Mr. Amuro's eyes, he was unreliable, and given that he was much younger than Mr. Amuro, it was only natural that he was regarded as a clever but naive young man.

This attitude fueled Conan Edogawa's resentment.

He felt that since the other party was looking down on him so much, it was a bit awkward for him to rush to cooperate. The other party might not necessarily believe that he was reliable.

So Conan Edogawa actually hoped that Usui would put in a good word for him, preferably by giving him a way out so that he could have a chance to connect with Mr. Amuro, or at least prove his abilities so that he wouldn't be underestimated when they cooperated.

Conan Edogawa sighed inwardly, wondering when his chance to prove himself would come.

Anyway, seeing that Mr. Amuro wasn't even glancing in his direction, he felt that Brother Bo Ye hadn't mentioned him at all, and he was too embarrassed to take the initiative to ask Brother Bo Ye to "praise me more in front of Mr. Amuro"...

However, Conan Edogawa hesitated for a long time, feeling that he had to give way to the cooperative resistance organization to save face, as he really wanted to learn more about the organization.

Compared to Rena Mizunashi, who occasionally provides a little information and seems to be constantly monitored, a public security undercover agent who is an intelligence agent of the organization is obviously a better choice.

So, Conan Edogawa took out his phone, feeling embarrassed, and secretly sent an email to Saiki Usaba, conveying his desire to make a good impression on Tooru Amuro.

Usoppei took out his phone, looked at it, and laughed.

Amuro Tooru looked at his smile and felt a chill run down his spine: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, wait for my message, remember to ask for leave."

Amuro Tooru was speechless: "You're still bringing this up? What differentiation? Who are you trying to fool?"

Bo Yezaki looked at him with the eyes of someone who doesn't understand: "You don't understand, this is to prepare for what's to come."

Amuro Tooru frowned, thinking that Usaku Saiki's suggestion to Morofushi Kagemitsu to go to the sushi restaurant next door seemed to have ulterior motives, but the motives were not clear... Could it be that asking him to take leave was related to this motive?

After contributing a wave of doubt points, Amuro Tooru began contributing trust points.

In that case, it wouldn't be appropriate to keep refuting Usaku Saiki.

Amuro Tooru's expression softened: "I understand. We'll see how it goes."

After finishing his sandwich, Usaku Saiki returned to Edogawa Conan's side.

Just then, someone from next door came to deliver sushi, which attracted the children's attention. While the children were eating sushi, Conan Edogawa quickly pulled his beloved Usui-san aside to chat.

"How about it?"

"You're asking about his reaction? Didn't you see it all? He already knows." Bo Yezaki pretended not to understand what he was asking.

"It's not that." Conan Edogawa's face flushed slightly. After all, he was a person who cared a lot about his image. Sending an email was already embarrassing enough, and having to repeat himself made it even more awkward. He muttered, "It's...it's...give me a chance to show off..."

Usakata Saiki sighed, "Conan, I know I'm omnipotent in your eyes—"

Conan Edogawa's expression twisted slightly, but he still suppressed his strong urge to refute and reluctantly continued listening.

"—But even I can't commit crimes for you, set up cases, and then help you gain favor with Mr. Amuro..."

Conan Edogawa was so angry he wanted to jump up and kick Saiki Usaba's knee: "Who told you to commit a crime?!"

Bo Yezaki raised an eyebrow: "Then how do you expect me to create an opportunity for you?"

"Is that the kind of manufacturing I'm talking about? Stop pretending to be a returned overseas student! You've been back for years!" Conan Edogawa said irritably. "You know what I mean!"

Bo Yezai straightened his expression: "But you've known Mr. Amuro for quite a while now, and it's not like you haven't encountered the same case before. You didn't perform well before, but do you think you can now?"

Conan Edogawa squinted at him: "Of course. I was afraid of being discovered before, and since you were there most of the time, I didn't say anything, and the case was solved... Actually, next time you encounter a case, don't do anything, that's already helping me."

Usoya Saiki readily agreed: "Okay, then I'll help you create an opportunity to shine!"

His sudden cooperative attitude made Conan Edogawa suspicious: "How are you going to create this?"

"When will Mr. Mori take you and Ran on a trip?" Saiki Usaba asked. "I feel like you two always run into cases every time you go out. Let me know before you go out next time, and I'll invite Tooru Amuro along."

Conan Edogawa: "…………"

First of all, it's a bit too much to encounter cases every time you travel. Secondly, Mr. Amuro is, after all, a member of an organization. If the police don't have any extra work, doesn't the organization assign him any tasks?

How could someone just leave whenever Brother Bo Ye calls? They'd have to be incredibly free!

Conan Edogawa expressed his distrust.

Bo Yezhai waved his hand: "You don't think he takes leave every time he's on leave to deal with organizational matters, do you? Actually, most of the time he's on leave dealing with the police... Anyway, if it's just a day or two off, I can still persuade him."

Conan Edogawa seemed lost in thought.

Does this mean that Brother Bo Ye has some influence in the Public Security Bureau...? But Brother Bo Ye really does nothing every day, which doesn't seem like he works in the Public Security Bureau... So it means that Brother Bo Ye's deceased father, a Public Security Bureau officer, had a very high position, or that Brother Bo Ye used his family background to get a high-ranking but unworkable position in the Public Security Bureau through back channels.

He does nothing himself, only relies on his family background to bully others. What an idle second-generation rich kid!

But if he could profit from it, then Conan Edogawa could only say thank you, Usopp-san.

So, it seems that the most difficult part of this plan is ensuring that you encounter cases in the places you go.

After all, Conan Edogawa doesn't believe that cases will happen wherever he goes; he firmly believes it's a matter of probability.

Fortunately, the problem was resolved quickly.

A few days later, Hattori Heiji suddenly called Edogawa Conan.

Conan Edogawa's eyes lit up: "Do you have any unsolved cases over there? The kind where we can do some sightseeing while we're at it!"

Although he doesn't encounter cases every time he travels, every time Hattori Heiji asks him to go on a long trip, he's bound to encounter a case!

The one with a real knack for causing accidents is actually Hattori Heiji!

Communication was already difficult for the Red team, and now the pace of the game is completely controlled by Bo Ye...
