Chapter 527
The skeptical system wondered if, after visiting the elders, it was finally time to buy something.
Bo Yezhai: [It's not over yet, there's more than one elder...]
Suspicion value system: [...]
It felt like it had been played for a long time, and it wanted to explode and curse.
But then Usui Saiki added, "However, making appointments takes quite a bit of time... So, I'll take a break in a month and use that time to think about what to buy."
I was given another empty promise.
The skeptical system, with tears in its eyes, replied: "You absolutely must buy it within a month!"
It secretly vowed that if Bo Yezaki still tried to find excuses to delay a month later, it would mean that Bo Yezaki was not sincere, and it would no longer tolerate it!
After completing his visit, Bo Yezhaiji rarely took the time to write a report himself.
He didn't say anything bad, and fairly stated that the other party had no complaints about the organization. The two chatted well, ate happily, and the other party even wanted him to stay overnight, but he refused.
The part where he identified those around the elders as having ulterior motives was omitted.
When it was time to say goodbye, Ireland went to get the car, so he wasn't there and didn't hear the conversation. This shows that the invitation to stay overnight was really superficial, but it also means that Ireland wouldn't mention it in his own report.
The two reports were sent to the Boss, who compared and verified them without giving it much thought. After all, he knew that Ireland had a bias towards Potts and wanted to wait for the Elders' reply.
The elders replied quickly, their attitude cautious. The content was similar to what Potts and Ireland had said: in short, they had a pleasant conversation, the young people had their own youthful energy, and their aesthetic sense was quite unique…
It basically didn't exceed the Boss's understanding of Potness.
Although they hadn't discussed it beforehand, the elders and Usakata Saiki tacitly kept the matter of identifying the suspected person a secret.
On the one hand, the elders had to write an email to the Boss that day and didn't have time to verify what Bo Yezaki said. On the other hand, if what Botnis said was true, then he couldn't bring it up.
The elders were getting on in years and felt they understood the boss's mindset. A good-for-nothing successor was unacceptable, but a successor who was too popular was even worse!
The investigation results haven't come out yet, but he felt that Potts wouldn't speak carelessly. At present, he seemed quite worth winning over. In other words, he needed to maintain a balance between Boss and Potts. What should be said and what shouldn't be said, and when it becomes appropriate to say it, is a delicate art.
The veteran did a good job. The boss didn't notice anything amiss and even thought that Potts was doing a great job.
If that were all, it would be fine. In fact, almost any organization member who is willing to be humble when facing the elders can do this. The Boss mainly hopes to see Potts play a role in other areas, but he also feels that it's good if he doesn't have the opportunity to play a role.
During this period of inner turmoil, Potts completed his visit to the second elder.
This time, Pottness's report has a clear focus.
Botnis said he didn't have a good feeling about this veteran.
The boss immediately became alert.
Originally, to avoid some conflicts, both sides had an unspoken agreement not to place people around the other to monitor each other. However, the Boss unexpectedly trusted Potts' judgment and decisively chose to risk being discovered and questioned, and having to give up benefits, by immediately starting an investigation into this elder.
He actually uncovered a problem during his investigation.
However, the elders cannot be killed as casually as the organization members, lest it discourage the other elders. It would be best to design it as an accident. Therefore, the Boss has been busy supervising Gin's assassination plans recently—for example, a real assassination, not just blowing him up and leaving.
In short, although the person in question did not die, the Boss has completely trusted Potts's judgment and feels that he knows how to make good use of people!
Even if Potts still couldn't give a reason or provide any evidence, Potts's simple statement that "something feels off" was enough for the Boss to allocate manpower to investigate.
The boss even thoughtfully asked Potts if he was adapting well to the new job.
Potts: "It was pretty good, easier than I expected. I was worried I'd say something wrong, but everyone was very kind."
Who would dare to be unfriendly? This is someone sent by the Boss.
Aside from the dissenting elders, everyone else was quite satisfied with the status quo, and so it was achieved.
After visiting the second elder, Usaku Saiki glanced at his schedule and discovered that in two days, Sonoko Suzuki had invited him to attend the Kaito Kid magic show.
Huh? You're saying it's not a magic show, but a treasure exhibition and a battle of wits with thieves? Anyway, it'll probably end up being a magic show in the end...
Bo Yezaki relaxed on the sofa, took a sip of cola, and prepared to rest for a while. Although it was just eating and drinking with the elders, going out was still exercise, and he felt it would be strange if he didn't just laze around for a couple of days.
As a result, when he took out his phone to go online, Usoppei Saiki spat out the cola in his mouth.
The live stream that was pushed to his homepage was from the Kudo residence, which he recognized.
The host smiled and explained to the camera: "In the case that happened at Kiyomizu-dera Temple not long ago, it is said that the high school detective Shinichi Kudo, who is rumored to have passed away, was among those involved in solving the case. During the live broadcast at the time, the person standing next to Heiji Hattori did indeed resemble Shinichi Kudo. Today, let's confirm it..."
Behind her were many other TV stations and online celebrities, carrying cameras and microphones, pointing them at the walkie-talkies on the iron gate.
Shuichi Akai, who lived in the Kudo residence, didn't dare to go out at all. He used a voice changer and hid inside the house to reply, "Even if you ask me like that, I'm just someone who's staying at the Kudo family's place..."
"Cough cough cough... cough cough..." Bo Yezhai coughed twice, too lazy to walk to the dining table to get tissues. He directly redeemed a tissue he had won in a lucky bag from the system warehouse, wiped his mouth and clothes, and asked, "Has it progressed to this point?"
He was unusually busy with organizational matters this week and hadn't paid attention to Shinichi Kudo. He didn't expect that in such a short time, Conan Edogawa would take the medicine and turn into Shinichi Kudo, going on a school trip with Ran Mouri.
They were caught red-handed by the media.
Usaku Saiki wasn't too worried about Shinichi Kudo, because he knew that Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo had managed to suppress the matter, and Heiji Hattori had also used a photo of someone who looked almost exactly like Shinichi Kudo to fool the media and forcibly extinguish the hype.
But organizations are not so easily fooled.
If he remembered correctly, Rum was going to have Bourbon investigate Shinichi Kudo next...
After thinking for a moment, Usaku Saiki called Edogawa Conan.
"Brother Usopp!" Conan Edogawa was truly pushed to his limit this time. He even came up with the lame excuse that the living one was Shinichi Kudo's younger brother, but nothing worked. "Brother Usopp, did you see the live broadcast?"
“Yeah,” Bo Yezaki retorted, “How could you be so careless? You actually got photographed?”
Conan Edogawa was almost in tears: "I didn't react... What should I do now, Usopp-nii? Do you have any ideas?"
“I have an idea,” said Usaka Saiki. “Why don’t you ask Phantom Thief Kid for help…”
Conan Edogawa closed his eyes: "Usui-san, this is not the time for jokes. Kaito Kid didn't send any warnings to Kiyomizu-dera. Even if you said that he was impersonating Shinichi Kudo in the live stream, no one would believe you!"
“My solution is to find someone who looks like you to muddy the waters,” Bo Yezaki pondered. “Do you know anyone else who looks like you?”
Conan Edogawa pondered, "A guy who had plastic surgery to look like me is already in jail, and Kaito Kid won't make it this time... Ah, I've got it! Okita Souji! He happened to be in Kyoto at the time!"
"It sounds like there are quite a few candidates."
Conan Edogawa sighed, "Yeah, there are always people in this world who look strangely like strangers... I've even seen someone who looks like Ran..."
Usakabe Saiki laughed: "Have you ever seen anyone who looks like me?"
Conan Edogawa wasn't thinking about this topic: "When I meet someone who looks like you, I'll remember to take a picture for you. I'm a bit busy now, so I'll hang up now. Goodbye."
Usoppō Saiki raised an eyebrow.
At this rate, the next time Conan Edogawa sees Shinryu Samikawa's face clearly, he'll probably just think he looks a bit like him...
There's nothing wrong with that.
Usakabe called Yukiko Kudo again, because Yukiko Kudo had previously asked him to look after Conan Edogawa, and he had agreed. Now that such a big thing had happened, he had to do something to show his support.
Although Yukiko Kudo already knew, she was still grateful for Saiki Usaba's reminder. Hearing the latest news from Saiki Usaba that Conan Edogawa had a solution, she breathed a sigh of relief.
“This kid is such a worry, I’m afraid the organization has also noticed this farce… so I plan to go back to Japan with Yusaku to face this together.” Yukiko Kudo also revealed her next plan with concern.
The people in the organization did take notice.
That evening, when Furuya Rei came to cook for Usui Saiki, he brought it up: "Rum sent me an email saying that I should investigate Kudo Shinichi."
Bo Yezaki complained: "You guys are right next door, why do you have to send an email? Are you planning to get a higher percentage of your phone bill reimbursed by the organization?"
"...He was delivering takeout at the time, and it was safer that way; no one would notice we know each other." Rei Furuya was a little speechless, but she forcibly steered the conversation back on track. "I remember you and Shinichi Kudo are quite close, right? What are your plans for this? What do you need me to do?"
Usoppei touched his chin.
It's really satisfying to have this kind of organization know everything and have complete control over the progress.
"Don't worry about it for now, just pretend you're investigating," Bo Yezaki suggested.
Rei Furuya nodded: "That's possible, but Rum is an impatient person and can't afford to delay for too long. He might investigate on his own, and it won't do if I don't make any progress at all..."
"fine."
The silver-haired, green-eyed youth rested his chin on his hand, tilted his head, and said with a smile.
"He shouldn't live to see that time."
