Chapter 467
Faced with the word "public security," Conan Edogawa's brain once again went blank.
Huh?
Eh?!?!?!?!
Thank goodness he didn't voice his guess! That's way off!
It's these fluctuating emotions that are making his heart very uncomfortable, almost as painful as the times he grows and shrinks.
Conan Edogawa's pupils contracted, and he took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Wait, so that's how it is?
Bo Ye's father is a police officer?! That's why Bo Ye was targeted by the organization and Vermouth was sent to get close to him?!
Is it because they suspect there's something important in Bo Ye Ge's father's inheritance?
Since Vermouth hasn't made any major moves, she should be cleared of suspicion? Perhaps she only managed to escape the organization with the help of the Public Security Bureau… Was it Amuro Tooru? So that's why they knew each other so long ago?
It makes sense now, it makes sense all of a sudden!
No wonder Brother Bo Ye doesn't talk much about his own affairs; it's probably something he can't discuss because it involves a lot of confidential information.
Conan Edogawa considered whether Usaku Saiki was lying to him, but ultimately leaned towards the possibility that he was telling the truth, since it wouldn't be detrimental to him.
Bo Ye Ge is on his side.
Otherwise, with that one glance that revealed him to be Shinichi Kudo, they would have reported it to the organization long ago, instead of constantly advising him to go abroad and hide.
Usakabe Saiki said quite confidently, "Actually, if you were more honest, I would feel better, and if I were in a better mood, I might have told you these things sooner... You just said that you were drugged by an organization, but you wouldn't even say what the organization was called. How would anyone know which organization you're talking about? I still have to rely on myself to judge—to be honest, in some ways you should thank Amuro Tooru."
Excuses! Liar!
For the sake of sales, the Doubt Value System, having learned its lesson and knowing that there are many things it shouldn't say, suppressed the urge to complain and thought to itself.
Don't believe it! This is just a sales tactic used by Usakabe Saiki!
Conan Edogawa has been honest, and Usaku Saiki will probably be in a better mood, but whether he would have "said these things sooner" is another matter, since Usaku Saiki used the word "maybe" to say it sooner.
Another technique is to avoid mentioning the organization's name and instead use phrases like "who knows" instead of "how would I know?" This is also a way of shifting the focus.
[I still have to rely on my own judgment] - That's true, Usoppō Saiki has always relied on his own judgment from the very beginning.
However, the statement "We should thank Amuro Tooru"... After some thought, the skepticism system felt that it should actually be connected to the preceding text, rather than following the statement "I relied on myself".
He probably felt happy to see Amuro Tooru suffer, which is why he revealed the information to Edogawa Conan. In that case, Edogawa Conan should indeed thank Amuro Tooru.
It's all the truth, which is the highest level of lie. Even when faced with a lie detector, Usaku Saiki is completely unfazed.
Having followed Usakata Saiki for so many years, the Doubt Value System felt it was time to graduate.
But it's a skepticism system! What's the use of knowing how to gain someone's trust?
Unlike Usaku Saiki, who had already seen through his suspicion system, Conan Edogawa was unaware of Usaku Saiki's rhetoric.
He believed it.
He really didn't tell Bo Ye the specifics of the organization, not even its code name. Bo Ye's father was a policeman and he himself was unemployed, so he didn't know much about the organization and couldn't possibly pinpoint which organization it was from just a few words.
Even after talking to his parents in the UK, Bo Ye only knew that the members of the organization liked to wear black clothes, and he and his parents called the organization the "Black Clothes Organization".
Based on this information, Bo Yege even put on a black trench coat and came to scare him with great enthusiasm.
Thinking about it carefully, it's likely that Bo Ye only realized which organization it was when he saw Amuro Tooru working at Poirot Cafe and his attitude was rather subtle.
This shows that Brother Bo Ye has always been very honest and sincere with him. On the contrary, it was he who was secretive that caused Brother Bo Ye to be so behind in information and only recently realized what was going on.
When Conan Edogawa approves of someone, he subconsciously puts on a filter and reflexively tries to make their logic believable.
Just like when his idol, a soccer star, committed murder, he ignored many problems that he could have immediately noticed, and kept trying to exonerate his idol, which even Hattori Heiji couldn't stand.
Usaku Saiki was also present at the time, and even went to Conan Edogawa to say something like, "It's not good to ignore problems in the reasoning process because of personal preferences."
However, while he himself enjoyed Conan Edogawa's favoritism, Usuoha Saiki never mentioned it.
Yes, that's right, it's such a double standard!
Seeing Conan Edogawa's expression as he gradually understood everything, Saiki Usaku was very satisfied.
He exposes others who are beneficiaries, but remains silent when he himself is a beneficiary.
Undercover System: [This is true nature!]
Suspicion value system: [...]
Are you crazy?! You can actually brag about this?!
Have some shame! You and Usaku Saiki are both shameless!
Usoppei was momentarily speechless, overwhelmed by the praise from the undercover system.
But he quickly accepted this premise, raising his own threshold for shamelessness slightly: "You're right."
The doubt system, after holding back for a long time, finally channeled its surging emotions into a single word.
[...6.]
I'm truly impressed by you, you old sixth brother.
Conan Edogawa has quickly accepted the new setting and is eager to get more from Saiki Usaku.
"Brother Bo Ye, is Mr. Amuro really...?"
"If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself."
Usaku Saiki showed no remorse for betraying anyone. In any case, according to the original plot, Edogawa Conan should have started to suspect something by now, and Furuya Rei couldn't hide it for long.
When facing the FBI, Furuya Rei directly shouted, "FBI, get out of Japan (x)." It's a miracle that someone who can't control his conditioned reflex when someone calls him by a nickname, with this kind of acting skills, still frequently goes back to work at the National Police Agency, and stays in Tokyo where he knows many people for a long time, has been able to maintain his undercover work in the organization for so many years without any problems.
Now that he's facing the Son of the World, it would be a miracle if Conan Edogawa didn't suspect him!
Conan Edogawa carefully considered Usaku Saiki's proposal.
He wouldn't let his guard down easily and planned to proceed at his own pace, first observing and verifying before finally testing the waters.
As for Brother Bo Ye...
"Anything else?" Conan Edogawa asked eagerly. "What else do you know about that organization?"
Usakabe Saiki said coldly, "I hope you remember that you only got a passing grade."
Conan Edogawa: "..."
What kind of time is this?! Can't you act like an adult?! Don't let personal preferences interfere with important matters!?
Conan Edogawa is unwilling to give up.
He pressed on firmly, "Not even a little bit? Just a tiny bit..."
"...Actually, I'm not that familiar with that organization," said Usakabe Saiki sincerely. "Do I look like the kind of person who would care about that kind of thing?"
Conan Edogawa: "...It doesn't really look like it."
"Besides, if I had really taken that organization seriously, I don't even know if I would still be alive today."
If he worked too hard, the organization's boss would never trust him as much as he does now, and Gin would keep a closer eye on him.
After all, the more proactive he is at work, the more serious the suspicion that his adoptive father was a spy becomes, and the more credible it needs to be verified.
In this situation, raising suspicion levels is like dancing on a knife's edge; one wrong move and your life will have to start all over again.
Even if it were just to rack up points, Usoya Saiki wouldn't bother making his life so tiring.
So from the very beginning, he chose the path of going crazy and giving up.
As expected, Gin no longer bothers to doubt him, and the organization's boss also has an unusual level of trust in him.
I believe that if one day, a god descended and told the organization's boss that one of Gin and Bordenis wanted to usurp the throne, the organization's boss would think that the person was the hard-working Gin, not Bordenis who was always thinking about how to get something for nothing and had no interest in the organization.
Why work when you can reap without sowing? Potts' overall happiness and well-being are definitely higher than Gin's! What reason would he have to betray him?
This is also why the organization's boss is treating Potts better and better, because he feels that as long as he is willing to support Potts for free, Potts is trustworthy.
Upon hearing what Usaku Saiki said, Edogawa Conan was taken aback at first, and then seemed to be deep in thought.
Indeed, after Bo Ye's father died, Vermouth appeared by Bo Ye's side as an elder and friend, possibly to monitor his movements. If Bo Ye had revealed any curiosity or interest in the organization, she might have been silenced long ago!
It's true that Brother Bo Ye doesn't know much!
Now that things had come to this, Conan Edogawa couldn't force Saiki Usaba to reveal information he himself didn't know, so he could only ask regretfully, "Didn't your father leave behind any useful information?"
"No, they've all been destroyed."
Conan Edogawa patted Saiki Usaba's shoulder sympathetically as a form of comfort.
Amuro Tooru was secretly observing Edogawa Conan and Usaku Saiki from the open island platform.
He noticed that Conan Edogawa seemed very agitated, his face turning pale, then flushed, then pale and bluish-white in turns. He had no idea what Saiki Usaba was saying that had frightened someone who looked like a child but was actually a high school student.
However, this is quite normal. Usaku Saiki has a terrible personality and likes to play tricks on people. He himself is also a victim, so Amuro Tooru did not immediately think that Usaku Saiki had betrayed him. He just guessed that there might be other reasons.
However, the way Conan Edogawa looked at him was much more complicated than before, which bothered him a lot.
...Is Usaku Saiki talking badly about him to Edogawa Conan?
Although Conan Edogawa probably already knows that he is Bourbon and that no one is worse than a member of the organization, Amuro Tooru is very concerned about anything related to Usuiba Saiki, and always feels that the other party might say something strange...
Just as Amuro Tooru was hesitating about whether to find an opportunity to ask, someone pushed the door open and came in.
"Conan!... Ah, and Mr. Usoppei too."
Shuichi Akai's sister paused for a moment, then flashed a bright smile: "What a coincidence! May I sit here?"
Bo Ye Zaiji smiled and said, "Of course."
Sera Masumi may seem carefree, but she is actually quite cautious as she sits down.
...Mom told her not to make decisions when she interacted with Potts, to let things happen naturally, and to pretend she didn't know him...How annoying, he was right in front of her, why couldn't she just ask him directly!
Usaku Saiki looked Sera Masumi up and down, then suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, I heard from Ran that you came back from England... Are you alone?"
Sera Masumi: "...!?"
Is this some kind of attempt to find out about my mother?!
