Chapter 272
Although it wasn't explicitly stated in Usaku Saiki's email, Conan Edogawa felt that he had already deciphered this suspicion from it.
...Brother Bo Ye! Can't you trust me a little more?!
Well, elementary school students are indeed prone to getting into trouble, and getting into serious trouble is quite common. It's normal for Brother Bo Ye to worry about this since he doesn't know that he's already a high school student.
He was just about to find an excuse to reply when he discovered that the next email had already arrived.
"It's alright now. I saw those two extremely rude men in black again. It must have been them. I'll call the police right now."
Conan Edogawa: "...???"
He wanted to stop them, but he was worried that the Black Organization would hold a grudge and might end up killing Usoppō Saiki instead of capturing him.
After all, he called Inspector Megure directly using Shinichi Kudo's identity and asked for secrecy so that no one could trace him. But Saiki Usaba would definitely call the police directly, which would leave more traces!
But after thinking it over, Conan Edogawa couldn't find a reason to stop Saiki Usaba from calling the police, so he could only pray for Saiki Usaba and then reply to the email.
If you're worried about retaliation, you can go outside and find a public phone booth to call the police.
Ai Haibara, sitting in the back seat, asked with a twitching mouth, "What kind of luck do you have, Usopp-san? Why do you always run into Gin and Vodka?"
She had some doubts about whether this Usaku Saiki had a strange tendency to cause accidents...
"I don't know either!" Conan Edogawa said speechlessly. "But apart from yesterday when he said he saw Gin and Vodka crossing the road, I was actually there the other two times... so it's alright."
Because of her injury, Ai Haibara spoke weakly, but she still insisted on complaining: "I don't think it's going to work! This probability is really a bit strange."
Conan Edogawa sighed: "Case cases summon detectives... I suppose Usui-san is half a detective too."
Ai Haibara: "..."
Considering the probability of Conan Edogawa encountering cases in his daily life... Ai Haibara felt her worldview slightly shaken.
Perhaps it's not surprising to see members of the organization so frequently? After all, Japan isn't a big country, and Gin and Vodka don't spend every day there...
The slight doubt that had been lingering in Ai Haibara's mind vanished.
The system glanced at the backend and clicked its tongue: "[The organization contributed quite a bit today. Gin and Vodka are extremely suspicious; they've probably suspected you of plotting something the whole way. Boss is alright, though. I really don't understand why he trusts you so much...]"
Usoppei: [Because my untrustworthy aspects were so prominently displayed, even frequently mentioned, my expectations were initially very low. When they discovered I was actually quite reliable, they started to trust me... Oh, mainly it's the contrast with my peers that made them say to me, "Thank you, Gin."]
System: [Thanks, Gin... what the hell! You're just trying to increase your suspicion level! Why is your trust level so high?!]
"Because the days when the boss will suspect me are yet to come," Usui Saiki said casually, "just like Conan Edogawa."
system:【……? 】
Bo Yezaki was too lazy to explain: "You'll see when the time comes. In short, gaining their trust now is all for the future!"
The system did not ask any further questions.
So far, Usoppō Saiki has not made any wrong moves; its job is simply to cooperate.
...How can someone with such terrible acting skills achieve such outstanding results?!
Is it his expressionless face and natural acting style? Or is it his spectacular mental state that makes him stand out?
The system was completely baffled.
After slacking off for two days, Bo Yezaki returned to Han Chuan Shenliu's office, where an acquaintance happened to visit.
Looking at Shiratori Ninzaburo who came with Hagiwara Kenji, Usuba Saiki said in surprise.
"A rare guest indeed."
Usaku Saiki swore he didn't mean to mock, he just subconsciously sighed, but for some reason, Shiratori Ninzaburo broke out in a cold sweat.
Shiratori Ninzaburo tried to explain, "Well, we often see each other at crime scenes, and we usually chat about what we can at the time. I was worried that coming all this way would bother you..."
Kenji Hagiwara helplessly tried to smooth things over: "He probably meant it literally."
Shiratori Ninzaburo couldn't help but chuckle dryly: "Ahahaha."
As always, Han Chuan Shenliu puts so much pressure on people... Thinking about his purpose for coming today, he felt that perhaps he hadn't thought things through carefully enough.
"So, what's the reason for your 'special' visit this time?" Bo Yezaki asked.
Shiratori Ninzaburo coughed, took an invitation out of his bag, and handed it to Usui Saiki: "It's like this, my sister is getting married... Their wedding celebration is scheduled for next month, and Inspector Megure, Chief Odagiri, and many other colleagues will be attending. Would you like to come, Hanakawa-kun?"
In fact, Shiratori Ninzaburo felt that Sukagawa Shinryu's temperament didn't quite match the wedding celebration, but since he was an advisor and a colleague, it would seem rude not to invite Sukagawa Shinryu if he had invited other people instead.
Besides, he considered his relationship with Hanchuan Shenliu to be alright. The main question was whether Hanchuan Shenliu was willing to attend, since Hanchuan Shenliu hadn't gone to the wedding of Matsumoto's daughter.
Instead of immediately accepting the invitation, Bo Yezaki asked, "Are you sure you want to invite me?"
"……Sure."
There will be so many police officers at the scene, and quite a few of them will look fierce. If Han Chuan Shenliu blends in, he shouldn't stand out too much, right?
Even if someone has any ideas, knowing there are so many police officers around, they should be more rational and not immediately question Han Chuan Shenliu's identity. After all, if there really is a problem, are the surrounding police officers blind?
Anyone with a brain can understand this.
Bo Yezaki thought for a moment, then accepted the invitation: "Okay, I'll be there."
Shiratori Ninzaburo breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."
After finishing his business, Shiratori Ninzaburo didn't leave immediately, but stayed to chat for a while.
Kenji Hagiwara remarked, "In the blink of an eye, Shiratori's sister is already married."
Shiratori Ninzaburo chuckled: "Indeed, and I also have someone I'm pursuing. It's you two who are a bit slow on the uptake."
Everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department knew that he liked Sato Miwako. Although he couldn't win her over, at least there was some progress.
Kenji Hagiwara and Shinryu Samikawa don't even have a target!
"Huh? If I'm not single, people will be too embarrassed to ask me for help with organizing blind dates, right? So it's okay if I look for someone later." Kenji Hagiwara said these considerate words with a very upright and righteous attitude, and then added, "It's not like Fuka is completely clueless. He met a woman in the US who liked him, and they even traveled together for a few days, right?"
Usaku Saiki was stunned for a moment before realizing that Kenji Hagiwara was referring to Vermouth.
He hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Well...but she's already passed away."
Hagihara Kenji: "…………"
Shiratori Ninzaburo: "…………"
Shocking! How did such a safe topic turn into a landmine?! They just don't understand!
Kenji Hagiwara thought about it more deeply because he remembered that Shinryu Samakawa had described her as an older woman... and she had passed away. Just how old was she? It was terrifying to think about!
Shiratori Ninzaburo originally wanted to sit for a while longer, but now he couldn't sit still anymore. He felt as if ants were crawling all over his body, so he quickly made up an excuse to leave, abandoning Hagiwara Kenji, and ran away.
Kenji Hagiwara's lips twitched uncontrollably: "That Shiratori guy..."
He knew that Hanchuan Shenliu wouldn't be angry about this, so he wanted to ask Hanchuan Shenliu about the deceased woman again, but seeing that the other party was drinking tea with his head down and his expression was unreadable, he hesitated for a moment and gave up.
Sigh, let's talk about it another time.
Time flies, and the day of Shiratori Ninzaburo's sister's wedding celebration arrived in the blink of an eye.
Kogoro Mouri and his entourage were also among those invited.
However, Kogoro Mouri was a little resentful about this—it wasn't that he was ungrateful for being invited, but he felt the timing was a bit awkward.
In the past two days, two police officers have been attacked and killed, and the perpetrator has not yet been apprehended. It seems the target was clearly the police, so the atmosphere at the Metropolitan Police Department is very tense. Holding a wedding celebration at this time, and inviting so many police officers, is a bit...
Ran Mouri said helplessly, "The dates were all set in advance, and besides, this isn't a wedding banquet, it's just a celebration... Okay, hurry up and sign."
Kogoro Mouri was invited by the bride Shiratori's family, so he signed the booklet at Shiratori's house.
There were several names on one page, and Kogoro Mouri immediately spotted the name "Shinryu Samikawa" at the beginning of his page.
He was immediately taken aback: "Han Chuan actually came too?"
Aren't they afraid of ruining the atmosphere? The Shiratori family is really bold!
Upon hearing this, Conan Edogawa instinctively looked around, but he didn't see Shinryu Saikawa. He must have already entered the banquet hall.
Sure enough, as soon as Conan Edogawa entered the banquet hall, he spotted Shinryu Sakkawa at a glance.
The other person was still dressed in a black suit, with a calm expression and cold, dark red eyes that made people afraid to meet their gaze.
However, because he was talking to someone, the young man's aura of unapproachability lessened somewhat, but he still looked somewhat dangerous, and an unsuspecting person couldn't help but wonder what he did for a living.
Oh, but here, you don't need to worry about that.
Because there were so many police officers, all of them looked fierce and menacing, creating a serious and oppressive atmosphere. If you didn't know better, you might think this was a meeting at the Metropolitan Police Department!
Although the atmosphere was somber, it also made me feel very safe.
Conan Edogawa thought to himself.
Surely nothing else will happen in this situation!
