Chapter 444
Conan Edogawa was completely distracted, his mind preoccupied with what Bourbon, this member of the organization, still wanted. Could it be that "killing" Sherry wasn't enough, and he was now actually suspecting Kogoro Mouri?
He accidentally left a bug and tracker on Rena Mizunashi's shoes. Gin discovered it, and to make matters worse, the model number was the same as the bug he had placed in Gin's car last winter. After the organization investigated, they found that Kogoro Mouri was the most likely person to have planted the bug on Rena Mizunashi, which almost led to Kogoro Mouri being targeted by the organization.
Conan Edogawa thought he had escaped a disaster, making people think it was an FBI trap. Now it seems that Bourbon may not have given up on suspecting Kogoro Mouri.
Just how suspicious was the organization, and to what extent had their investigation gone...?
Conan Edogawa was unusually confused, which made him act much slower. So much so that when a tennis racket suddenly flew over and hit him on the head, he didn't even think to dodge.
The racket hit really hard, and Conan Edogawa immediately felt as if he had become nearsighted, or even developed astigmatism, with double vision appearing before his eyes.
Before fainting, Conan Edogawa's last conscious thought was of Bourbon rushing up to him and checking his head.
Anyone need help from our organization members?!
That's way too dangerous!!!
Fortunately, things didn't escalate to the worst possible state. When Conan Edogawa regained consciousness, he was perfectly fine and hadn't been tied up. Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki, and some strangers from the tennis court were also calmly chatting, as if nothing bad had happened.
Especially Bo Ye, who immediately showed a gloating expression when he saw him wake up, which made Edogawa Conan feel inexplicably safe.
The fact that Brother Bo Ye still had the mood to joke about him shows that even if there is a problem, it's not a big one!
"See? What did I tell you?" Bo Yezaki raised an eyebrow. "Getting beaten up on the way, clearly a bad start, and you didn't believe me. Then you got knocked out at the tennis court. Do you believe me now?"
Although Conan Edogawa is awake now due to a mild concussion, he is still very dizzy and not as eloquent as usual. He can only respond blankly, "...Hmm."
Some people might find winning too easily boring, but not Usaku Saiki.
Seeing Conan Edogawa's unusually silly expression, he not only didn't let him off the hook, but even deliberately took out his phone and started recording in front of Conan: "I'm worried you'll get stupid from being hit. Come on, let's do a test. Repeat after me, 'Poirot is the best detective—'"
Even though Conan Edogawa was dizzy and felt like vomiting, as a die-hard fan of Sherlock Holmes, he instantly sobered up upon hearing these words.
"Sherlock Holmes is the one!!!"
After reflexively retorting, Conan Edogawa looked at Saiki Usui, somewhat speechless: "Usui-nii, stop messing around... Where is this?"
"The villa of the person who smashed your things is quite close by." Usoya Saiki sat down next to Edogawa Conan. "You have a mild concussion and need to rest. Lie here for a while longer, and leave when you feel better."
Edogawa said weakly, "I feel dizzy and very tired."
"Then let someone prepare a room for you to rest properly." After speaking, Bo Yezhai sighed, "But you're really too unlucky, I have a feeling something bad is going to happen."
Conan Edogawa wasn't in the mood for a verbal battle with Saiki Usui. He asked in a low voice, "Um, Mr. Amuro..."
"The emergency treatment he gave you was really good."
Conan Edogawa: "…………"
Was Bo Ye doing this on purpose? Didn't you think Amuro Tooru looked suspicious before?
Although he was reluctant to talk to Bo Ye about the organization because Bo Ye didn't support his risky actions, and therefore didn't tell Bo Ye that Amuro Tooru was a member of the organization, Bo Ye shouldn't be so oblivious to his wariness of Amuro Tooru!
However, no matter what, Brother Bo Ye shouldn't suffer a loss...
Conan Edogawa, enduring a headache, tried to explain himself clearly, but Usui Yasaki interrupted him.
"Alright, that's enough. I know he's suspicious, but with me here, he can't do anything. Don't worry."
Conan Edogawa was finally relieved and could finally be a mute, otherwise it would have been really difficult for him to speak like this.
Ran Mouri also came over to check on Conan Edogawa, and then said to Saiki Usaba, "We're planning to have a competition with Ms. Momozono and the others, but everyone is tired and hungry and wants to rest and have a meal... How about we let Conan find a room to sleep in? We'll call him over to eat when the food is ready."
Miss Momozono is the one who accidentally knocked out Conan Edogawa by dropping her tennis racket, achieving something even Gin couldn't.
Although Conan Edogawa's head was buzzing, he heard everything he was supposed to hear, even the fact that when those people started arguing, they suddenly mentioned that a friend of theirs had died there.
Therefore, upon hearing the suggestion, he responded with a nod of agreement.
One of the fat guys said he didn't want to eat a meal, just some ice cream cake. Since the air conditioner in the living room was having some problems, he went to the kitchen to get the cake and then took Conan Edogawa to his room to rest.
Everyone else went about their business.
Usaku Saiki: "I suggest that Mr. Amuro go to the kitchen; his cooking skills are arguably the best here!"
Amuro Tooru was speechless: "Um... Ah... So what are you going to do?"
"Let me help you," said Bo Yezaki. "I can even cut some cucumber strips."
Toru Amuro: "..."
Ms. Momozono, a typical Japanese woman, found it odd that the two men were trying to squeeze into the kitchen. Seeing Amuro Tooru's strange expression as well, she couldn't help but say, "Why don't we just forget it? We women should stay here..."
But Bo Yezhai retorted, "Don't be fooled. Cooking is a woman's job. Go look at hotel chefs; 99% of them are men! People who say this just want to feel comfortable dumping low-status, low-earning housework on you!"
The girls: "…………"
Okay, that seems to make sense!
Toru Amuro: "…………"
The way he said that makes it sound like Usakabe Saiki is some kind of righteous person! He's probably just trying to sneak a bite in the kitchen beforehand, isn't he?!
"However, there are a lot of people and a lot of ingredients to process, so why don't you leave a few people to help?" Bo Yezaki naturally asked for a few more people.
So everyone assigned tasks, and those who weren't assigned to the kitchen went off to do their own thing.
Usakabe Saiki slowly sliced cucumber next to Amuro Tooru: "So you're back at the coffee shop? I thought you quit."
"...I just took a sick leave." Amuro Tooru gave a fake smile. "You can't just quit like that."
Is that enough? He won't run away! He'll cook for you as usual! Don't make things difficult for him!
Out of consideration for the presence of outsiders in the kitchen, Amuro Tooru did not make his point too clear.
Ran Mouri laughed and continued, "Some people thought Mr. Amuro had resigned, and many people who went to the coffee shop were disappointed... I heard from Ms. Enomoto that even Mr. Kankawa went there, but unfortunately Mr. Amuro wasn't there."
She felt that Mr. Hanchuan didn't seem like the type to chase after trending topics, yet he came all this way, which was enough to show that Mr. Amuro's skills were truly exceptional.
"Mr. Hanchuan?" Amuro Tooru's eyes sharpened.
Ran Mouri assumed that Tooru Amuro didn't know Shinryu Samikawa, so she explained, "Mr. Shinryu Samikawa is an advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department and used to be a police officer in the First Investigation Division. He's very capable!"
"I see."
Amuro Tooru said in a pretentious manner.
Of course he knew Sukawa Shinryu, and he also knew that Sukawa Shinryu had saved Hagiwara Kenji and had a good relationship with Matsuda Jinpei. It's just that his temperament was too subtle, and he didn't look like a good person.
But if you say that the other party is an undercover agent sent to the Metropolitan Police Department, then his temperament is not restrained at all. If it weren't for Kenji Hagiwara intervening on his behalf, he probably wouldn't have even passed the interview, let alone become an undercover agent.
Moreover, Han Chuan Shenliu had no intention of getting promoted, infiltrating the police force, or obtaining more useful intelligence. He was late and left early, quit after a few years, and is now just an unofficial staff member with no access to core intelligence.
Amuro Tooru knew so much because a few months ago he heard that his superior in the Japanese Public Security Bureau had some feelings for Kazukawa Shinryu, so he asked a few more questions... Otherwise, he was already very busy with his undercover work and really didn't have time to pay attention to others. He didn't even know the current situation of Hagiwara Kenji, Matsuda Jinpei, and Date Wataru. His information was seriously outdated.
Unexpectedly, Sugawa Shinryu came to Poirot Cafe. Amuro Tooru felt that the day when his old classmates would also appear at Poirot Cafe was not far away.
Just as Amuro Tooru was thinking this, he heard Mouri Ran say something.
"However, I heard from Ms. Enomoto that Mr. Kankawa might go to the FBI in the future."
Toru Amuro: "FBI???"
What's going on here?! The FBI is poaching people from them?! How shameless!
FBI, get out of Japan!!!
Shuichi Akai is dead, why are these FBI agents still haunting us?! Do they really think those two or three people can be of any use?
Ran Mouri noticed that Tooru Amuro seemed quite interested in the topic, but she could only apologize and say, "Sorry, that's all I know..."
Amuro nodded with a smile: "It's okay, I was just a little curious."
This involves the FBI, so it's probably more than just poaching people. I never expected this kind of intelligence to appear in a coffee shop.
Looks like I need to get back to Poirot Cafe soon.
Usakabe Saiki said, "Mr. Amuro seems very shocked? Actually, there's no need to be so shocked. With the level of Hanakawa Shinryu, it's not unusual for organizations like the CIA, the Japanese Public Security Bureau, the KGB, MI6, etc. to poach him, let alone the FBI."
Toru Amuro: "...?!?!?!"
I never thought Usaku Saiki would ever praise someone like this! And it wasn't even sarcastic!
Was he hallucinating or dreaming?!
Or is there something wrong with Hankawa Shinryu?
Amuro Tooru couldn't help but feel suspicious. Taking advantage of Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki doing something else, he whispered, "You really think highly of that Shinryu Saikawa?"
Bo Yezaki: "Oh, I almost forgot, you didn't know?"
Amuro Tooru's mind tensed reflexively: "What should I know?"
Bo Yezaki sighed: "Think about it carefully, do you think I would praise someone for no reason? What do you think would be the reason for me to praise you so sincerely?"
Toru Amuro: "...?"
What else could it be?
Amuro Tooru pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Could it be that Shinryu Hatsukawa is your savior...?"
Usoya Saiki: "...It doesn't have to be that bad."
Do you think I only praise my savior?! What kind of image do I have in your eyes?!
--------------------
Bo Ye was furious: Bourbon must have been secretly smearing me!
Amuro Tooru: Is there any need to smear him...?
