Chapter 53 My Contact Person Was Here [VIP]

Morofushi Kagemitsu ended his chat with Ryuzaki and reopened his chat with Cheng You.

[Midori River: My contact said he came to your shop.]

These words left Cheng You completely bewildered. He didn't even know Morofushi Kagemitsu's contact person. Besides, he might just be here casually to enjoy some desserts, and not necessarily to investigate Cheng You. After all, Cheng You was certain that he hadn't left any clues during Morofushi Kagemitsu's faked death three years ago.

Cheng You: I don't know him...

[Midori River: Have you had any strange guests?]

Cheng You: No... I think so... but it's not too strange. What's wrong?

[Midori: I mentioned you to him, but not much, so please don't worry. I don't know if my contact has found you, but if he knows about you, the police probably do too, and they might drag you into the abyss between the police and the Black Organization.]

Cheng You: It's okay. Didn't you say he didn't know much about me? No, he doesn't. Besides, I'm already involved with the Black Organization, but of course, it's not an abyss for me.

[Midori: That's good. However, I arranged to meet him at this dessert shop tomorrow morning.]

Cheng You: Understood.

I will try my best to avoid it and also try to keep You away.

Cheng You didn't intend to keep it from Youyi. He could tell him about the Black Organization and about the Dongfang Bubai Pavilion at some point, but he couldn't tell him about such private matters as the police liaison.

Since Cheng You had never met Zhu Fujingguang's police liaison and was unsure whether the liaison was intentionally keeping it a secret, he decided not to wait for the liaison with Zhu Fujingguang.

After carefully considering tonight's plans, Cheng You still couldn't send him a message asking if there was a way to painlessly restore someone's memories.

[Yuichi: It's best not to use drugs to stimulate memory recovery; stimulating it with familiar things is more effective.]

Cheng You: ...Okay, do you have any painkillers? Preferably with minimal side effects.

Yuuichi replied after a while: [Yuuichi: Brother Cheng You, who did you pick up outside this time? (Displeased jpg.)]

Cheng You: Cough, no, I mean... a business partner.

[Yuichi: Okay. My medicine is much better than usual. (Proud jpg.) The painkillers are in the second cabinet on the right side of my desk in my room, and they have a label on them.]

Cheng You: That's fantastic! (Patting head.jpg)

In the afternoon, as dusk fell, Cheng looked at the sky and decided it was time to go find Curaçao and, while he was at it, go home to get his medicine.

Yagami checked the news on his phone: "It's said there's a spectacular light show at the aquarium in XXX amusement park tonight."

"Are you going?" Morofushi Kagemitsu looked at him with a smile. He knew that Curaçao was at the aquarium, and Cheng You would definitely be there to carry out his mission. The Public Security Bureau and the Black Organization would also be there. In order not to affect those missions, he had to control Yagami Kamisama and Yuichi as much as possible.

"Not interested." Yagami turned to Yuichi. "Kid, do you want to go? I've seen you watching this kind of news the whole time."

Yuichi looked up in surprise upon hearing this.

Cheng pursed her lips. Yuichi knew she was going to that aquarium? That shouldn't be the case; she's usually very meticulous. Also, Yagami Kamishin, that guy, seems aloof and indifferent to everything, but he actually has a bit of gentleness inside.

Cheng looked at Youyi: "Youyi, do you want to go to the aquarium?"

"Brother Cheng You, I want to go see the light show." You smiled, looking like she really wanted to go.

"Okay." Cheng You smiled, squatted down and patted Youyi's head. It was a good opportunity to take him out for a walk, so he wouldn't really become a bookworm.

Morofushi Kagemitsu: "How about I take him? Don't you have things to do tonight?"

Cheng nodded and looked at Youyi: "I have other things to do tonight, sorry. Why don't you go have some fun with Midorikawa-nii?"

Yu-yi nodded understandingly: "It's okay, Brother Cheng You."

Yagami asked, "What about this shop?"

Cheng You: "It's almost closing time, Yagami, do you want to go?"

Yagami initially wanted to refuse, but then he thought that since he was bored anyway, he might as well go and have some fun, so he changed his mind and said, "Okay."

"Then take good care of Yuichi, I'm leaving now." Cheng You waved and turned to leave. After leaving, he sent a message to Morofushi Kagemitsu, hoping to stall them a little longer so he could resolve the situation within an hour.

Cheng You arrived at the aquarium quickly by taxi. Conan had already told him the location, so they could just go there and find them.

As Cheng approached Curaçao and the Junior Detective League, he felt several gazes fall upon him. This was normal; the police probably paid attention to everyone around Curaçao.

I wonder if the police have found any members of the black-clad organization nearby. It would be best if the two sides were entangled and implicated, giving Cheng Youyou more time to talk to Curaçao.

When Cheng arrived at the scene, he looked at the Ferris wheel where a light show was about to begin, guessing it would start soon. So he smiled and asked the children, "Haven't you all always wanted to ride the Ferris wheel?"

"Yes, store manager!" the three children cheered.

"However, I remember there was a really delicious eel rice place up ahead of us when we came here, but it seems like it's about to close down," Cheng said with some regret.

Upon hearing about food, Genta said with a hint of longing, "Hmm, how about we go eat eel rice first, and the Ferris wheel can be made later."

“But…” Ayumi clearly wanted to see the light show.

Cheng smiled and patted her head: "You can eat over there and enjoy the light show, and then ride the Ferris wheel for the second round. It will be a different kind of beautiful experience then. Want to try it?"

Hearing this, the three children nodded and decided to go eat eel rice and enjoy the light show from different perspectives.

Professor Agasa led them there, but Ai Haibara, not wanting to get involved in Cheng You's affairs, went with the children.

Just as Curaçao was about to go over, Cheng You grabbed him: "Don't go over there, Miss. I know a way to help you regain your memory. Besides, there are police and members of the Black Organization nearby. Be careful."

Curaçao was very confused, not understanding what the other person meant by the black organization.

Conan had already sensed the other people's gazes, and after thinking about it carefully, he knew that if the Black Organization members were here, the Public Security Bureau would most likely be here as well. He told Cheng You that he had other things to take care of, handed Curaçao's phone to Cheng You, and left.

Conan may have deduced something.

However, Cheng You was not interested in the battle between the police and the black-clad organization. He led Curaçao to a park bench next to the Ferris wheel, smiled and said, "You sit down first. I have a friend who is very good at memory recovery. I'll go take a look and he'll be right back."

Curaçao nodded: "Okay."

Five minutes later, Cheng You, dressed in the skin of Kurosaki Shinji, appeared here. He slowly approached Curaçao, who was sitting in a chair: "Hello, Miss, I am the psychology master that Mr. Cheng found."

Curaçao paused for a few seconds, looked up at him, as if trying to discern whether there was any ill intent in his eyes. Seeing that the man was holding her phone, she slowly stood up from the bench: "Hello."

“Ride the Ferris wheel; it’s the perfect opportunity to recapture your memories,” Cheng You said softly.

The two boarded the Ferris wheel, and as it slowly started moving, the lights in the pool in front of the Ferris wheel began their performance.

Orange, red, and other colors lit up in sequence, like a rainbow.

Curaço looked at the lights in front of her and felt a wave of dizziness. Her head ached, and something seemed to be pounding against her head.

She was surrounded by darkness, as if in a dark environment. Some said she should be executed because of her abilities, while others said she should be reformed...

“Stout…Westline…Aquavit…Kier…Bourbon…” She clutched her head tightly, her body trembling slightly.

Cheng squatted down and gently helped her up, gave her a painkiller, and a minute later, it was obvious that Curaçao's condition had improved a lot.

The next second, Curaçao swept a leg over, and Cheng You quickly bent down to dodge, exchanging a few blows with Curaçao.

"How exactly did you and that Cheng You know about me?" Curaçao glared fiercely at the gloomy man in front of her. She remembered Cheng You saying that the Black Organization and the Public Security Bureau were all there, and she had to find a way to keep it a secret.

While fighting her, Cheng said, "You can't defect."

"I will not be a traitor."

“Only you know what you’re really thinking. I just want to make a deal with you,” Cheng You continued. “You’ll treat me as an undercover agent within the Black Organization, and I’ll help you protect those children, and in the meantime, we’ll take down the Black Organization together?”

Curaçao did not stop her attack, but her movements slowed down.

"You hesitated. Okay. My contact information is already in your phone. Don't worry, I'm a technician. Think it over, goodbye." After saying that, Cheng You opened the door and jumped down.

Curaçao looked at the phone that the man had abandoned on the seat, picked it up, and made a call to Vermouth from the Black Organization.

The two chatted briefly, confirming that Gin would pick up Curaçao, and then Vermouth brought up other matters.

"But when did you regain your memory? I heard from Rum that he received a text message from your phone. If the person who sent that message wasn't you..."

Hearing this, Curaçao understood. She smiled silently and replied, "That text message, of course, was sent by me to Rum. Is there a problem?"

Vermouth said she understood, and the two hung up the phone.

It seems Bourbon and Kiel aren't undercover agents, Vermouth thought.

Meanwhile, the police, acting on instructions from a mysterious contact, had already been stationed at the aquarium. This matter was entrusted to Yuya Kazami, who had seen Curaçao's appearance.

He and the police officers searched the vicinity for a long time before finally finding the silver-haired woman with heterochromatic eyes. However, because of their promise, they could not act rashly or take Curaçao away directly.

Kazami Yuya sent someone to keep watch here while he went to contact Mr. Furuya. Furuya Rei was out of danger and asked Kazami Yuya to search the vicinity for any trace of the Black Organization.

However, Kazami Yuya searched for a long time but could not find any trace of the Black Organization, so he had no choice but to continue observing Curaçao. At this time, Curaçao and a gloomy man got on the Ferris wheel. It was not the man who was close to Conan at the beginning.

The melancholy man with black, shoulder-length hair and red eyes caught Kazami Yuya's attention. He couldn't be sure if the man was a member of the Black Organization, so he reported everything to Mr. Furuya. However, Furuya Rei seemed to be dealing with other serious matters and asked Kazami Yuya to take a picture.

But when Kazami Yu was about to take a picture, the man jumped down from above, leaving Curaçao alone there while she was on the phone.

Meanwhile, Morofushi Kagemitsu, along with Yagami Kamizan and Yuichi, arrived near the aquarium and stood at a distance, waiting for the light show.

Morofushi Kagemitsu noticed that there were many police officers here. He casually looked over at the Ferris wheel and saw a familiar face in the distance. He wasn't quite familiar with it, because it was the face that had been disguised in yesterday's tutorial.

Black shoulder-length hair, red eyes, gloomy and aloof.

Knowing that Cheng was there, Morofushi Kagemitsu wasn't too shocked and quickly shifted his attention away.

Yagami looked around. He sensed something strange about the atmosphere as soon as he entered. There was an indescribable seriousness about it. Several people in this otherwise joyful place still had serious expressions and were occasionally glancing at the Ferris wheel.

Terrorists? he wondered.

So he glanced curiously toward the Ferris wheel and immediately spotted a familiar figure standing on the Ferris wheel's elevated platform fighting with a blond man.

Shuichi Akai.

Tsk, what a coincidence. Yagami was speechless. What a coincidence! He was just trying to relax when he ran into someone.

Shuichi Akai, who was fighting Rei Furuya, noticed a certain gaze, glanced over, and met the eyes of a familiar person from afar.

Yagami is here? What's he doing here? Doesn't he usually dislike coming to places like this? Does he have some mission or activity here?

"Hey, FBI, don't get distracted." Rei Furuya sneered and threw a punch. Shuichi Akai snapped out of his daze and quickly dodged.

Yagami and his cousin exchanged a glance before quickly looking away, thinking to themselves: Oh no, I'm going to get a lecture again tonight. But Akai is really something, coming to a place like this to fight. The FBI is really baffling.

Thinking this, Yagami saw Akai Shuichi and the blond man leave the overpass together.

Morofushi Kagemitsu took Yuichi and Yagami Kamishin to eat eel rice at a nearby restaurant. As soon as they sat down, several children came over to greet Yuichi.

Ayumi: "Wow, it's the shop manager's brother. Hello!"

"What a coincidence! The shop manager also asked you to wait here. Will he take you to ride the Ferris wheel next time?" Yuan Tai couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm," Youyi paused for a few seconds after hearing this, "Brother Cheng You went to ride the Ferris wheel?"

"He—" Mitsuhiko was about to speak when Morofushi Kagemitsu immediately interrupted him: "Waiter, three servings of eel rice."

Even though Mitsuhiko hadn't finished speaking, Yuichi already understood that Cheng You's brother was on a mission in this place, and that all those strange people outside were the police. The commotion in the shadows was probably caused by the Black Organization.

But according to the children, Cheng You was riding the Ferris wheel with other people. Who was this person? Was it dangerous? So, was the painkiller Cheng You needed for that person?

Well, that's good too. It's not for his own use, so at least Cheng's brother shouldn't be in too much danger.

Just as Morofushi Kagemitsu was about to tease Yuichi, he received a text message from L. Ryuzaki.

[L: There's a bomb near the Ferris wheel. Tell your friend to leave!]

[Midori River: ? Okay.]

[L: Was the man with Curaçao on the Ferris wheel your friend?]

[Midori River: It's him.]

[L: Is he talking to Curaçao? If possible, I hope I can speak with him tomorrow.]

[Midori River: If he's willing, then of course.]

After ending the communication, Zhu Fujingguang sent a message to Cheng You, informing him that there was a bomb at the Ferris wheel.

Upon seeing the news, Cheng You couldn't help but sigh. If it were just a normal amusement park being blown up in Beika Town, he'd think it would be perfectly normal. But! This place is the property of the Dongfang Bubai Pavilion! It's property!

Sigh, I wonder how much the government will subsidize. The organization is already poor.

Just as Cheng You was about to leave, he received a text message from Curaçao.

[#5555: There's an exhibition tomorrow morning at a Japanese lab and at the Suzuki and Kujo residences. People from the Black Organization and the research institute are going. It's about a certain chip. Nothing else is known.]
