Chapter 21 Mission Follow-up
◎Suspicion◎
Kudo House
Conan and Ooshi Subaru were sitting in the middle of the living room. Conan looked at Ooshi Subaru, who had not spoken since he entered the room, and said, "Mr. Subaru, what are you thinking about? Has he been transferred safely?"
Chongshi Subaru straightened up, squinting his eyes with a smile on his face, but his tone of voice was completely inconsistent with his expression. His tone was flat and serious, "He's already in the United States, but he's not cooperating and has been making trouble there."
Conan said: "If the thing he mentioned is confirmed to be true, is it possible that it was discovered and destroyed by the Black Organization?"
"That's a possibility. There's also a possibility that there was a third person at the scene, and that person might have taken it away."
"Who could that person be? Could it be the one who gave us the information?"
"That should be it."
"If that's the case, then this time, could it be that she wants to use us to lure the Black Organization over so she can get what she wants?"
"If it's the person you speculated about, what's the point of her having that? It's completely useless to her. Unless there's another possibility, she's a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, or someone from one of our agencies."
Conan didn't say anything. He was also puzzled, but this was the best explanation.
Rice Flower Apartment
At 3 o'clock in the morning, when Mu An Jia Xi and the others were all asleep, an uninvited guest came to the apartment.
The door of the apartment opened slowly with a slight click, and a tall figure walked in vigilantly. He first looked around, then walked to the coffee table in front of the sofa, lay down, and stuck something inside. Then he stood up quickly, glanced at the closed door, and walked out quietly.
In the bedroom
Mu'an Jiaxi was lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread out, dreaming sweetly, when the system's voice rang out.
[Ten points are deducted from Toru Amuro's identity concealment, leaving 40 points for Toru Amuro to discover his identity]
[Conan's identity concealment is deducted by 5 points, and there are 55 points left for Conan to discover his identity]
[Five points will be deducted from Chongshi Subaru's concealment level. There are still 45 points left for Chongshi Subaru to reveal his identity.]
[This mission was successful, the intelligence was delivered successfully, the mission was stopped successfully, and the evidence was found successfully. Completion degree 100]
【Reward incentive, one assistant】
While sleeping soundly, Mu'an Jiaxi kept feeling a sound beside her ears, which kept buzzing there, as annoying as a mosquito. She turned over in a daze and shouted loudly, "Shut up, why are you making noise in the middle of the night?" Then she covered her ears and continued to sleep.
That annoying sound is gone too.
The next morning, Mu'an Jiaxi slept until he woke up naturally. After washing up and leaving the house, he noticed something strange: Sudi, who usually would have been up by this time, was nowhere to be seen.
Mu Anjiaxi looked around inside and outside, but there was no sign of her. She wondered where she could have gone.
At this moment, the system popped up to remind her, [The helper has completed the task and has returned]
Mu'an Jiaxi exclaimed in surprise, "When are you going back?"
[Last night, if the task took more than two hours to complete, the system would automatically send her back]
Mu'an Jiaxi suddenly realized, "Oh." He felt a little disappointed that he had to go back so soon.
Remembering something, Mu An Jia Xi asked, "Have I completed my mission?"
[Judgment completed. The new assistant is on the way. As for when they will arrive, the system has no regulations. It is entirely up to the assistant to arrange it.]
"As long as you can come."
Mu'an Jiaxi turned around and her stomach growled. The most important thing for her now was to eat. She went to the kitchen, got a pack of instant noodles, and decided to just have a simple bowl of noodles.
On the other side, Poirot Coffee Shop
Conan pushed the door open and walked in. The store was surprisingly quiet. Only Amuro Toru was busy behind the bar, washing the dishes. Conan climbed onto a chair and asked in confusion: "Mr. Amuro, are you the only one in the store today?"
Amuro Toru turned around after hearing this and said, "Miss Azusa has taken a day off today because of something at home, so I'm alone today. Are you looking for her?"
"No, I'm looking for you." Conan's expression suddenly became serious.
Conan told him everything, and finally looked at him seriously and asked, "Mr. Amuro, you went there yesterday, right?"
Amuro Toru wiped his hands and did not deny it. Conan continued, "But I didn't find the thing he mentioned. Maybe it was destroyed by the Black Organization. But there is also another possibility that there was a third person at the scene and the thing was taken away."
Amuro Toru knew what he was thinking, "You suspect Meian Jiaxi."
Conan nodded without saying anything.
Amuro Toru put down the cloth in his hand and slowly folded it. "It's not her. This kind of thing is useless to her. Unless I am one of our people, she won't understand it and will just treat it as waste paper. But I have basically confirmed that she is not one of us."
The tone was very affirmative.
Conan asked doubtfully, "Why are you so sure, Mr. Amuro?"
"Last night I got hold of something, a ledger that detailed all the money laundering evidence from the company's transactions with the Black Organization."
"Then where is the account book now?" Conan was very excited and stood up from his chair on the spot.
"I have placed it in a very safe place." Toru Amuro didn't want to reveal more and stopped there.
Conan wanted to continue asking, but seeing his attitude, he didn't ask.
Amuro Toru changed the subject. "If he's not lying, the thing you mentioned is probably still in the company. Gin returned to the organization after completing his mission yesterday and caused quite a commotion, so he didn't have time to get it. I guess he doesn't know about it either, otherwise he would have gone to the company right away."
Amuro Toru poured a glass of water and handed it to Conan. Conan took the cup and took a sip, "Where is An Jiaxi from?"
Amuro Toru rested his hand on the table. "I'm not sure. I previously discovered that she bears some resemblance to Jim Beam from the Black Organization. This Jim Beam isn't a member of the organization, but rather a salesperson. She specializes in selling information and knows everything. If you name it, there's nothing she can't uncover. The organization used to buy intelligence from her frequently, but she disappeared recently, and the time coincided with the appearance of Mu'an Jiaxi."
"Then she might be that Jim Beam. What's her current situation? Did she break up with them? These are just our guesses. There's no evidence, and we can't be sure. It's even impossible to ask her directly. What if... that's too risky. Besides, this time, I don't even know when she got my phone, how she input the information, and even knows my phone password."
"She still needs to be observed to confirm that she truly has no connection to the Black Organization. Being able to crack your phone password and give you the information without you knowing is no small feat. Furthermore, based on the current situation, she knows my identity."
Conan said: "The fact that she gave you the account book is enough to show that she knew your identity, so she gave it to you."
At this time, a guest pushed the door open and walked in. The wind chimes at the door rang. "Ding-ling!" The two of them quickly closed their mouths and ended their conversation.
Amuro Toru smiled and said, "Welcome." He took the menu in his hand and walked towards the customer.
Conan also got off the chair and left Poirot Cafe.
Rice Flower Apartment
As Muan Jiaxi finished his dinner, the system alarm sounded again [Conan deducted 5 points, there are 50 hidden degrees left before Conan discovers his identity]
[Five points will be deducted from Chongshi Subaru's concealment level. There are still 40 points left for Chongshi Subaru to reveal his identity.]
"Conan." Mu'an Jiaxi muttered softly.
The system was particularly kind this time and explained it to her automatically without her having to ask. [Conan got some clues from Amuro Toru and then told Ooshishi Subaru.]
Mu'an Jiaxi nodded to show his understanding. After all, Toru Amuro was an undercover agent in the organization. The information obtained from him was nothing more than some news about her in the organization. But it was not known how much they had investigated. But based on the current score, it was estimated that there was a lack of evidence.
Once the evidence is found, she will be completely exposed.
In fact, Mu'an Jiaxi hoped that they could find evidence quickly. This kind of mutual suspicion was really tiring. He had to rack his brains every time he passed on information.
That night, at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, when Mu'an Jiaxi was sleeping soundly, suddenly a gust of wind blew past his ears, and his body suddenly felt like something was pressing on it. Mu'an Jiaxi was startled awake and sat up.
Looking at the dark room, his hazy mind hadn't yet figured it out when another gust of wind blew past his ears. Mu An Jiaxi shuddered and rubbed his arms, "It's so cold."
Turning around, she saw that the window was not closed. She put on her slippers, stood up and closed the window. As she turned around, she suddenly caught sight of a shadow beside her. After a while, a strange sound appeared in the room. "Woo... Woo..." Several wooing sounds came from nowhere and kept echoing in the room.
In the pitch black, it seemed even more terrifying. Mu Anjiaxi reacted subconsciously and screamed loudly, "Ah, help! There's a ghost!"
Then he ran out the door without stopping as if he was running for his life.
The author has something to say:
Happy May Day everyone
