Chapter 348
Date Wataru had mixed feelings. He knew that Morofushi Kagemitsu was an undercover agent, but Usaku Saiki didn't. What if they ran into each other again when Morofushi Kagemitsu returned from his undercover mission? It would be very awkward.
Hopefully, there will be other people present at that time. It would be too tragic to let Morofushi Kagemitsu explain himself.
Ida Wataru was thinking about his old classmate, but for now, he needed to deal with the case at hand...
"...Speaking of which, where is Mr. Bo Ye?"
Conan Edogawa replied, "He said he was tired and went outside to sit down."
Date Wataru: "...???"
Seven years! Seven years ago he was a primary school student, he should be more sensible by now! How come this guy, Bo Yezaki, is still so willful after seven years?
Forget it, he's just a rich kid who can live off his family's wealth...
Sigh... He's a rich kid, but he doesn't seem to have any desire for power. It seems like ordinary illegal organizations probably wouldn't attract him. He's invincible because he has no desires. When he saw Usaku Saiki having dinner with Morofushi Kagemitsu and the suspicious men in black, it was probably a scam set up by a fraud group.
But what kind of fraud ring is this that's so powerful? Morofushi Hiromitsu has been undercover for seven years, and he still hasn't taken them down?
As Usakabe Saiki sat there drinking tea, he noticed that the doubt points that Date Wataru had contributed to him were gradually decreasing, and soon they became 0.
Is he finally focusing on the case? I really hope he can multitask, suspecting me while working...
Even at such a close distance, the system could still see what was happening over there: […Edogawa Conan has cleared you of suspicion.]
Bo Yezhai's Record: [...]
Listen to me say thank you...
Seeing Usui Saiki's expression, Shuichi Akai couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? You look worse."
He had roughly figured out the case, but seeing that Conan Edogawa was very interested, he didn't intend to get involved. Instead, he went out with Usaku Saiki to wait for others.
However, the only person who could still drink tea at a time like this was probably Usoya Saiki. When he asked the waiter for tea, the waiter looked at him with a very subtle expression.
Although Shuichi Akai wasn't worried about getting tea poisoning, he really wasn't in the mood for tea. He could only watch as Saiki Usaku sat opposite him, holding the cup to his lips with both hands and taking sips every now and then. This made him wonder if Saiki Usaku didn't want to talk to him, so he had come up with this way to keep his mouth shut.
But then Shuichi Akai thought about it and questioned himself: Did Saiki Usakuba need to make up a reason if he didn't want to talk to him?
Isn't that just a matter of not wanting to talk anymore, or even throwing out some explosive topic to make him shut up on his own?
Right now, Usoppō Saiki is probably just thirsty.
However, why did Bo Yezaki's complexion get worse and worse as he drank tea?
Even though Shuichi Akai didn't want to talk to Saiki Usui, fearing he might hear something that would make him uneasy, he had to ask, lest something happen to this guy and he say that he was the one who poisoned him.
"It's nothing, I just remembered that guy who wouldn't answer my calls," sighed Bo Yezai. "Oh well, let's look on the bright side, maybe he's dead."
That's what he said, but his tone was full of disbelief, to the point that it sounded like a curse.
Akai Shuichi: "…………"
Wait... what do you mean by "maybe"? Wasn't it your suggestion to Gin to have Gil kill me?
Now that Kir has returned to the organization, how could you not know whether Kir killed "Shuichi Akai" or not?
And is this what you call thinking positively?!
"If they don't answer the phone," Shuichi Akai suggested, "is it possible that something really has happened?"
"That's impossible."
Akai Shuichi: "…………"
Why are you so sure?!
He couldn't help but wonder if Conan Edogawa had told Potts about the fake death plan he had devised with him.
Didn't we agree not to tell anyone?
But while the child is clever, in other aspects... no, we can't be sure it was Conan who spread the rumor. Let's ask again.
So Shuichi Akai said, "Why do I say that? I think the probability of people getting into trouble these days is quite high. Japan's crime rate has always been high. If we can't contact them, they might really be in some kind of trouble."
Bo Yezaki's expression was solemn: "Because I told his fortune, now is not the time for him to die."
Akai Shuichi: "…………"
His gaze involuntarily fell on the Buddhist prayer beads on Usakabe Saiki's wrist and the cross on his chest.
Did Potts really believe in these things...?
Shuichi Akai adjusted the glasses he wore for his role as Subaru Okiya and asked, somewhat exasperated, "So, do you want to calculate his current situation?"
After thinking for a moment, Bo Yezaki went to find a waiter.
Shuichi Akai looked on with a puzzled expression as the waiter nodded and talked to Saiki Usaba while looking equally puzzled, before Usaba finally returned.
After a while, the waiter brought another cup of tea.
There was a lot of tea in the box this time. Bo Yezaki finished the tea in one go and then started staring at the remaining tea leaves.
Shuichi Akai: "...What are you doing?"
"Divination".
"...I've also read Harry Potter," Shuichi Akai said speechlessly. "Does this divination method even work?"
“How is it useless?” Bo Ye Saiki swirled his teacup and said casually, “He’s still alive, but he’s pretending, and he’s been in a bad mood for a long time, and it’ll probably continue... Ah, and he doesn’t want to see me.”
Akai Shuichi: "...!!!"
Has their identity already been seen through?!
No, calm down, it's not that hard to guess these things.
For example, Bornets must have known that Kir killed Shuichi Akai, and Bornets felt that Akai was not dead, but he certainly couldn't show up openly anymore, so he would definitely disguise himself.
Disguise is not the same as disguise. Changing one's identity, wearing a wig, growing a beard, etc., are also considered disguise.
His mood has been consistently bad... This can also be deduced; he's been in a bad mood ever since he learned of Miyano Akemi's death.
As for not wanting to see Potts, there's no need for divination; any random member of the organization could be that certain! After all, if it weren't for Potts, he'd still be doing well as an undercover agent!
In short, the conclusions that Potts is now "divining" can all be deduced through common sense and logic.
Especially Potts... His observation skills and ability to manipulate people are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. This level should be child's play for him. I can't panic because of this.
Subaru Okiya and Botness didn't have any in-depth exchanges. They chatted alone for a short while before Conan arrived. Later, he wasn't exactly taciturn, but he rarely expressed his own thoughts and mostly just gave normal responses. For someone meeting him for the first time, this performance shouldn't have any flaws.
Yukiko Kudo's disguise skills were perfect, and he felt that his performance today was worthy of such skill.
Having convinced himself, Shuichi Akai calmly said, "Then can you divine where he is? That way we can go directly to him?"
Bo Yezaki frowned and looked at him reproachfully: "How can you be so superstitious?"
Shuichi Akai: "...??? You've already done a divination..."
"Divination is based on known information, combined with the information obtained from the divination, and interpreted intuitively. It's not like you're doing it so recklessly."
Shuichi Akai said blankly, "I see. This is the first time I've heard of it. I don't know much about divination."
"It's okay, I'm here now. Let me do a divination for you. Give me your hand."
Akai Shuichi: "…………"
Fortunately, he had paid attention to the details beforehand, fearing that the calluses on his hands might give away something, so he asked Yukiko Kudo for a solution and managed to remove most of the calluses from his hands. Otherwise, things could have really gotten into trouble now.
However, just in case, Shuichi Akai, being left-handed, still offered his right hand.
After watching for a while, Bo Yezaki suddenly sighed.
Shuichi Akai's heart skipped a beat, wondering if something was wrong: "What's wrong?"
My condolences.
Akai Shuichi: "...???"
He's perfectly fine, why are you mourning?!
With a sympathetic look, Usoya Saiki said, "You must often make your girlfriend angry, right?"
Shuichi Akai immediately thought of how he had faked his death and kept it a secret from Jodie. If Jodie found out later, she would probably be really angry. Of course, this had happened often before... But Subaru Okiya's identity meant he didn't have a girlfriend.
If the previous divinations could be attributed to Potts's understanding of "Shuichi Akai", what about this one?
How did Potts know whether Subaru Okiya had a girlfriend on their first day of meeting? And how did he even know that Subaru often made his girlfriend angry?!
Isn't divination supposed to be based on known information, combined with the information from the divination, and a bit of intuition?
Is this based on known information, or just intuition?
--------------------
Happy New Year everyone!!!
.
Akai is now regretting not going with them to solve the case.
.
And here, because he was caught in a honey trap scam halfway through, Akai didn't date Akemi, and therefore didn't break up with Jodie.
