Chapter 401
After finishing his work, Amuro Tooru found some time that evening to call Usui Saiki, trying to ask about the pink-haired man.
He was actually prepared for Usakabe Saiki not to answer the phone, but Usakabe Saiki actually did.
The moment the call connected, Amuro Tooru felt no joy, only wariness—he suspected that Usaku Saiki had ulterior motives.
Usoppon Saiki said very politely, "Your call came at the perfect time. I would have gone to play games if it had been any later."
Amuro Tooru felt his nerves tighten even more.
Usoppei actually refrained from playing games to wait for this call?! What big project is he planning?!
Despite his mind being filled with suspicion, Amuro Tooru still had to ask: "The person who drove you here today..."
"What, does this look familiar?"
"You mentioned there's a surprise in the coffee shop, and that person is one of them, right?" Amuro Tooru's methods of gathering information become exceptionally simple and direct when it comes to Usaku Saiki, because he knows that if he tries to beat around the bush, Usaku Saiki will only go further.
Bo Yezaki readily admitted, "You finally figured it out! What other guesses do you have? Tell me all about them!"
Amuro Tooru took a deep breath, his thoughts racing before he cautiously voiced his guess: "He's...connected to the organization?"
Usoppei readily admitted, "Yes!"
Amuro Tooru frowned, pondering the information he had received that day: "Why was it him who brought Professor Agasa and you here?"
“Because he lives next door to Professor Agasa.” Usakabe Saiki answered every question. “Professor Agasa’s car was sent for repairs today. I was having dinner at Professor Agasa’s house today, and I suggested that guy drive, since he’s a pretty good driver… Oh, by the way, his name is now Subaru Okiya, don’t get it wrong.”
Amuro Tooru: "...How else could I possibly call you wrong!"
He didn't know the other person's name. Was he afraid that if the other person found out the code name, he might accidentally call them by that code name? How could he possibly make such a basic mistake?
As a result, Usoppei laughed strangely: "Hmm, you can't have called me by the wrong name... But with so many surprises in the coffee shop, you only realized two of them. That's too slow."
Toru Amuro: "...???"
What kind of auspicious location is that coffee shop? Why are there one "surprise" after another?!
Judging from Bo Yezaki's tone, he seemed to have missed a lot... He had something on his mind, and it seemed he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
The phone was busy now; it seemed that Bo Yezaki didn't care what else he wanted to ask, and had just finished saying what he wanted to say before hanging up.
Sure enough, Bo Yezaki was waiting for this call, just so he wouldn't get a good night's sleep!
Amuro Tooru put down his phone and sorted out the information.
That guy named Subaru Okiya knows Saiki Usaba, is connected to the organization, and lives near Professor Agasa's house.
Conan Edogawa... This kid is a bit too smart, and it seems that Shuichi Akai's sister is also after Conan Edogawa. There's definitely something wrong with this kid's identity.
He had previously thought that asking his guardians, such as Ran and Kogoro Mouri, for information would be faster and easier than having the police search through a jumble of household registration records. However, the father and daughter were incredibly naive and knew absolutely nothing about the family, only that they were related to Professor Agasa or the Kudo family. They had only met one of Conan Edogawa's parents before agreeing to let him stay with them...
It seems we still have to trouble the police. It's good that we can investigate Subaru Okiya as well.
Thinking about the high-tech methods the organization uses for communication, and then thinking about the outdated methods used by the Japanese government, which still rely on fax machines and paper documents, and even send paper verification codes to people's homes... Amuro Tooru felt really bad.
This matter is not something that Kazami can handle alone; hopefully, word won't leak out.
Although no one knew what kind of mischief Usoppō Saiki was plotting, he did give a helpful reminder. With Subaru Okiya as an organization member, he needed to be more careful with his actions lately.
As for the other "surprises," Amuro Tooru decided to wait for the police investigation results before making any decisions, and refrain from overthinking to avoid falling into any traps.
Amuro Tooru sighed deeply, realizing that being an undercover agent was really tough... He had to guard against the organization, against undercover agents in the Public Security Bureau, and also against Usui Saiki, that rascal!
The undercover agent within the Metropolitan Police Department's Public Security Bureau hasn't been found yet, and Morofushi Hiromitsu can't come back to help him, it's really...
Never mind, as long as the person is still alive, that's fine.
Thinking of this, Amuro Tooru finally relaxed a little and decided that next time Usaku Saiki provokes him, he would be more tolerant. But as he thought, sometimes people's emotions don't listen to them. Anyway, Amuro Tooru always suspected that he was still angry all the time because Usaku Saiki had discovered his concessions and was taking advantage of him.
Because of the new intelligence, Amuro Tooru stayed up all night, not only working himself but also assigning a bunch of tasks to his subordinates. He slept for two hours and then went to work at Poirot Cafe, looking refreshed.
He's currently investigating Kogoro Mouri as part of the organization's plan, helping the Public Security Bureau gather intelligence for the organization, and also working part-time at a coffee shop. He's really busy.
Then I thought about Bo Yezhaiji, the adopted son of an undercover agent, who neither worked for the organization nor for the police. He spent his days eating and sleeping, or sleeping and eating, and occasionally went out to cause trouble for others...
Bang!
Enomoto Azusa, who also works at the coffee shop, was startled by the noise and her hand trembled. She turned her head and saw Amuro Tooru cutting a sandwich.
...It's just cutting a sandwich, why is he suddenly using so much strength?
Realizing he had startled someone, Amuro Tooru explained with a smile, "Sorry, I didn't sleep well last night, I was a little dazed just now."
"Oh...oh, do you want to take a break?" Enomoto Azusa asked.
Amuro Tooru shook his head: "It's okay, just this one, it'll be ready soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice say, "Give me a sandwich, and pack ten to go."
Azusa Enomoto: “…………”
Toru Amuro: "…………"
He slowly raised his head and looked at the guy who had entered with a smile, and who sat down in front of the counter, ready to watch him make sandwiches.
Usoppei! Does this kid just can't stand seeing others have a peaceful time?!
"W-Welcome!" Enomoto Azusa snapped out of her daze and quickly stepped forward to greet them. "Um, the sandwiches have to be made to order..."
The silver-haired, green-eyed youth rested his chin on his hand and smiled at her with a good temper: "It's okay, I can wait."
"Okay... then, Mr. Amuro?"
Enomoto Azusa turned her head and saw that Amuro Tooru, who was in a bad mood, had already put on a polite smile.
"Okay, please wait a moment... but sandwiches might not taste good if they sit for too long. Are you sure you want to order this much?"
Usui nods without hesitation: "Of course, I've heard that Mr. Amuro's sandwiches are delicious, and I'm planning to share them with my friends!"
Where did you get this friend, kid? Are you planning to share it with vodka?!
Amuro Tooru was a little suspicious, but it wasn't uncommon for him to take away multiple sandwiches, because his sandwiches were indeed delicious, so many customers would order several to give to their colleagues or something.
No one else ordered so much at once like Usakabe Saiki, and the timing was too coincidental, it seemed like they were looking for trouble.
...No, it's actually just nitpicking, isn't it?
I also packed ten more portions; it's hard to say whether all of Bo Yezhai's friends together would fill one hand!
Just as Amuro Tooru was thinking this, a new guest soon pushed open the door and came in.
Enomoto Azusa greeted him familiarly, "Welcome, Conan-kun. What would you like to eat?"
Conan Edogawa smiled sweetly: "No need to trouble yourself, I'm here to find someone!"
As he spoke, his short legs quickly darted over to Usui Saiki's side, climbing onto the slightly higher chair in front of the board: "Good afternoon, Mr. Amuro... and Usui-nii, what brings you here?"
Conan Edogawa recalled that he always felt something was going to happen every time he saw Usakuya-san... How annoying!
This made him, who was usually skeptical, start to worry a little!
After giving a polite reply, Amuro Tooru made sandwiches in the open kitchen while subtly observing the two people sitting in front of the counter.
It's beyond doubt that Conan Edogawa knows Saiki Usaba, but what he's more curious about is Usaba's attitude towards him.
Usui Saiki, propping his chin on his hand, said lazily, "Of course I came to eat sandwiches. Do you know how delicious Amuro's sandwiches are?"
“I know that Mr. Amuro often gives sandwiches to Uncle Mori.”
Conan Edogawa was pondering how to subtly hint to his friend Usoppō that this guy who came to become Kogoro Mouri's apprentice was suspicious.
Before he could even exert himself, he saw Usakabe Saiki furious: "What? Why send it to Mr. Mori and not to me? Do I have to buy so many portions myself?!"
Toru Amuro: "???"
Conan Edogawa: "???"
What's your relationship with him that you expect him to give you gifts?
Actually, Usui and Amuro Tooru did meet yesterday, but because of the kidnapping and car accident, the situation was too complicated. So after confirming that Conan Edogawa was alright, Usui went back to the car and asked Shuichi Akai to drive away to avoid blocking traffic. Therefore, he did not talk to Amuro Tooru.
Conan Edogawa didn't have time to explain the suspicious aspects of Tooru Amuro to Saiki Usaku, so he can only reveal them now.
However, after hearing what Usuiba Saiki said, Edogawa Conan looked suspiciously between Usuiba Saiki and Amuro Tooru before reluctantly speaking: "Maybe it's because Mr. Amuro is Uncle Mori's top disciple? He wants to learn how to solve cases from Uncle Mori, but doesn't want to learn from you... And why did you ask someone to give it to you for free!"
Bo Yezaki sighed: "Compensation for emotional distress? I didn't fall asleep until very late last night."
Toru Amuro: "..."
He suddenly realized.
This is because he called too late yesterday... But even if he hadn't called, wouldn't he still have been playing games until midnight?!
Conan Edogawa was puzzled: "What did Mr. Amuro do to cause you mental distress... Ah, did he almost hit you with his car?"
Amuro smiled insincerely and tried to smooth things over: "Well, it really is my fault. Here's what we'll do: I'll treat you to the sandwiches today."
So stop dwelling on this mess, kid. You can't hold grudges for anything serious!
Usoya Saiki said very politely, "I'm so sorry."
Amuro Tooru: "...It's okay, I did it voluntarily."
When you were complaining about why I didn't see you off, you weren't this polite!
Conan Edogawa watched the interaction between the two people thoughtfully.
While Bo Ye-ge may have a bit of a quirky sense of humor, he's never been like this before... It feels like he's targeting Mr. Amuro.
Is there a reason?
Taking advantage of Amuro Tooru's trip back to the kitchen to get ingredients, Edogawa Conan quickly hinted at his suspicions.
Bo Yezhai looked at him with exasperation: "Didn't you notice?"
Conan Edogawa's expression hardened, and he felt he understood: "Of course I noticed!"
Sure enough! Usopp-kun also thinks Mr. Amuro is suspicious, so he's testing him on his behalf, right?
Thank you, Brother Bo Ye!

Guess who the sandwich is for?
