Chapter 562

At first, Conan Edogawa didn't expect to meet Saiki Usaba in Singapore. He just went with the flow and followed Kaito Kid, Ran Mouri, and others to wait for Makoto Kyogoku.

Kaito Kid disguised Conan Edogawa, making him look almost the same, yet different from before. In any case, Ran Mouri didn't recognize him, only thinking that she had met a child who looked similar in a foreign country.

Conan Edogawa gave himself a pseudonym, Arthur Hirai. Arthur comes from Arthur Conan Doyle, and Hirai is the surname of Edogawa Ranpo's real name. He claimed that his parents had gone abroad and were no longer in Singapore.

Ran Mouri had no suspicion about the dubious pseudonym, and since she had always taken good care of children, she didn't refuse when the child wanted to play with them.

Nothing unexpected happened until he met Makoto Kyogoku.

When Makoto Kyogoku said that his sponsor had passed away, so everything the sponsor had promised him was null and void, and he could no longer participate in the competition, Conan Edogawa frowned sensitively.

But before Conan Edogawa could ask about the case in detail, Sonoko Suzuki had already enthusiastically taken on the role of sponsor and, in the name of the Suzuki Foundation, sent Makoto Kyogoku back to the competition roster.

However, although Conan Edogawa didn't ask the question, the case of the sponsor's death returned to him in another form not long afterward.

After Sonoko Suzuki made arrangements for Makoto Kyogoku, while Makoto was pondering where to go, a Singaporean policeman recognized Kogoro Mouri and invited him to participate in a case.

Kogoro Mouri initially wanted to refuse, but Kaito Kid, disguised as Shinichi Kudo, suddenly approached him and began persuading him to agree.

Conan Edogawa narrowed his eyes slightly, staring suspiciously at the back of Phantom Thief Kid.

Sure enough, the police officer named Rishi took out his phone and showed everyone a photo.

"A notice from Kaito Kid!" Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened. "His business scope is that broad?!"

Kaito Kid secretly smirked.

Conan Edogawa thought for a moment, then quietly asked him, "This isn't your advance notice, is it?"

"Yes, this is what I told you before, I was framed," Phantom Thief Kid said dejectedly. "You'll know once you follow him."

So everyone followed Officer Richie to a mansion to visit an expert in criminal behavior psychology, who had arrested many criminals and was very famous in the field.

After retiring, this expert opened a security company, which was a perfect fit for his profession, and the company had a great reputation.

Rishi brought everyone here to meet this expert because of this security company, the one that was invited to protect the jewel that Phantom Thief Kid had announced he would steal.

The expert, named Leon Law, immediately remarked upon meeting Shinichi Kudo that he was more like a magician, which startled both Conan Edogawa and Kaito Kid.

This keen eye for people should not be underestimated.

Conan Edogawa thought to himself, "As expected of an expert, he's on par with the 'Usuba-san' that Mr. Akai mentioned... However, according to Mr. Akai, if it is indeed Usuba-san, he probably wouldn't just stay at the guessing stage; he would probably recognize who Kaito Kid is at first glance."

This also aligns with the experience of Phantom Thief Kid's identity being immediately exposed every time he met Usopp...

Fortunately, this guy wasn't as outrageous as Bo Ye Ge; he was still a normal person. Otherwise, Kaito Kid would have been practically walking right into his trap.

As the expert, Leon, was exchanging pleasantries with everyone, a sudden argument broke out outside the door. It seemed that the secretary was blocking people from getting closer.

Unfortunately, we couldn't stop them.

An old man walked in, initially speaking fluent English, but immediately switched to Japanese. He rushed towards Kogoro Mouri, grabbed Kogoro's hand, and said, "Mr. Mouri! My wife and I are both your fans! Can we take a picture together?"

This old man is the current owner of the Blue Sapphire Fist, named Chen Zhonghan. He is a financial tycoon in Singapore, who not only has a lot of influence in parliament, but also in the Singapore police and military. He can be said to be an important figure in Singapore.

Kogoro Mouri was startled by this person: "Oh... okay..."

Conan Edogawa silently drank his tea, but a few seconds later, he spat it out.

The old man must have walked too fast, because the people behind him were a beat behind when they entered the room.

At first, Conan Edogawa didn't recognize him because he was wearing a light gray shirt and ordinary black suit pants, with a black haori over them. The overall look was quite low-key. Although he wasn't wearing a tie, it was still a fairly decent outfit. His silver hair was also without any hair accessories, and it was naturally and smoothly draped over his shoulders. He had his slightly longer bangs tucked behind his ear.

Perhaps engrossed in playing on his phone, the silver-haired youth walked slowly into the room with his head down, appearing very low-key amidst the lively atmosphere. Therefore, when Conan Edogawa first glanced at him, he didn't actually react.

The moment his gaze shifted away from that person, Conan Edogawa suddenly felt something was wrong. Had he seen the haori?

So he looked back and saw the silver-haired youth casually putting away his phone and looking up.

Conan Edogawa stared at the familiar face, completely dumbfounded. He forgot that he still had tea in his mouth and was about to call out "Brother Bo Ye" when he choked.

"Bo...! Cough! Cough cough cough..."

Ran Mouri, being concerned about children, came over when she heard the commotion and patted Conan Edogawa on the back: "Are you alright?"

Conan Edogawa coughed and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

I was secretly relieved that he choked, otherwise he would have had a hard time explaining if he had directly called out "Brother Bo Ye"!

He's currently a kid from Singapore, so he shouldn't know Brother Bo Ye... but that's not the point!

Wasn't Brother Bo Ye already the organization's successor?! What's he doing in Singapore now?! Is Brother Bo Ye here in Singapore because he wants to do something for the organization?!

"Hi, Ran." Usakabe Saiki didn't pretend not to know her and greeted Ran with a smile. "You're also here in Singapore for tourism? When I heard Mr. Chen say that Uncle Mori was here, I thought you might be here too, so I came along to see you."

Ran Mouri was pleasantly surprised: "Yes! Is Bo Ye here for tourism too?"

“No, I’m here to visit my elders,” Usakata Saiki answered honestly.

Conan Edogawa's eyes nearly widened—a visit to an elder! Bo Ye came with Mr. Chen; could this Mr. Chen be a founding member of the organization?!

The fact that the veterans of the criminal organization have a favorite detective seems like a cruel joke, but now that Bo Ye can become the successor of the organization, he feels like the world is a giant makeshift stage where anything can happen.

Ran Mouri, unaware of the details, thought it was quite normal: "I see, no wonder Bo Ye-ge... uh, he's dressed quite formally today."

Usakabe Saiki laughed: "You should wear clothes appropriate for the occasion."

His previous abstract style of dressing wasn't something he actually liked! Wasn't it just to accumulate buffs?

Now that he has acquired most of Han Chuan Shen Liu's skills, he can stack fewer buffs and use fewer items.

Moreover, he came here to negotiate serious matters. This Mr. Chen is not an elder of the organization, but only has a cooperative relationship with the organization. He is so high-ranking that the organization cannot threaten him and can only entice him with benefits. Of course, he would not use the same methods he uses to deceive people as he does to other members of the organization.

Bo Yezaki actually has a high EQ; it just depends on whether he's willing to put in the effort.

He knows exactly what to do and when to do it. He doesn't need to lower other people's psychological threshold with a mental illness persona now. Instead, when trust is needed, he naturally tries to build this persona by being calm and composed while also taking necessary precautions.

Those props, like bracelets and headdresses, were too obvious and were relegated to the back of the drawer. As for the others…

Despite his simple appearance, he had his necklace hidden inside his clothes and chose an inconspicuous style of earrings.

Even though he already had a wristwatch on his wrist, he still kept a pocket watch in his trouser pocket, because such an unassuming prop slot was empty and it wouldn't be a waste.

Of course, he didn't overlook hidden prop slots like shoe insoles either; he used every usable prop he could find.

His outfit today can be described as understated yet luxurious, sophisticated, and technically advanced, which he is quite satisfied with.

But Conan Edogawa was dumbfounded.

Brother Bo Ye! How come you seem like a completely different person after becoming the heir?!

It's like he suddenly went from a carefree college student to a working professional... Wait a minute, Bo Ye is already 24... That's true...

Conan Edogawa was shocked to discover that he had never really had any real sense of Usopp's age before.

After all, Bo Ye Ge is incredibly relaxed; people who don't work and just lie around all day seem to have a very youthful spirit.

However, when someone relaxes, there are always people around them who hate that relaxation to the core... like Gin...

Conan Edogawa's mind was filled with a jumble of thoughts, but because he was currently a stranger, he couldn't bring himself to speak, and could only anxiously watch from the sidelines.

After greeting Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki, Saiki Usaba turned to "Shinichi Kudo" and "Arthur Hirai".

His light green eyes revealed a playful smile, and Conan Edogawa and Kaito Kid could tell at a glance that Saiki Usaba had completely seen through who they were.

"Isn't this Shinichi?" Saiki Usaba asked with a smile. "Has your dad finished his manuscript?"

Kaito Kid, forcing a smile, replied, "I don't think so..."

Conan Edogawa: "…………"

He suspected that the person who was tipping off his father's editors might be Brother Bo Ye...

Meanwhile, Chen Zhonghan finished his fan meeting, and the expert from Leon suggested that everyone visit his security facilities.

Chen Zhonghan doesn't look like a 70-year-old at all. He is agile and energetic, and it's clear that he pays great attention to health and exercises regularly.

Upon hearing Leon's suggestion, he immediately agreed and warmly invited everyone: "Great! This is a perfect opportunity for everyone to get a close look at the Blue Sapphire Fist! — Mr. Thin Leaf, please come too."

Conan Edogawa keenly sensed that Mr. Chen's attitude towards Brother Bo Ye was quite subtle.

It seems to be a relatively equal but tentative approach...

Bo Yezhai readily agreed: "It's my honor. I've heard that Mr. Chen has a lot of collections before, but I never thought I would be able to see them in person... However, I think Mr. Chen's most valuable asset is his excellent health... To be honest, it's better than many young people's."

Mr. Chen laughed: "Indeed, a healthy body is the foundation of enjoyment."

Conan Edogawa: "…………"

Wait a minute...?! Is the reason why Brother Bo Ye came to visit Mr. Chen what he thought?!
