Chapter 563
Since Leon's experts run a security company, they naturally equipped their home with the highest level of security facilities, especially the vault. Its complexity was so high-tech that it had trigger mechanisms that could directly bring in seawater to drown thieves, making it even more extravagant than the national vault.
Therefore, instead of having a new security system designed at the exhibition venue like the Japanese consultant Suzuki did, Chen Zhonghan delivered it directly to the vault of the Leon expert's residence.
The expert, Leon, led everyone to the vault and demonstrated his design.
"Although I am very confident in my vault, the Blue Sapphire Fist cannot remain in the vault forever. Tomorrow, at the opening ceremony of the karate tournament, this gem will be on display, and during the tournament, it will be kept in a room at the venue. The security there will definitely not be as good as mine, but I will certainly protect it with all my might."
Chen Zhonghan laughed heartily, but then his expression changed, and his words, which were previously friendly, revealed the ruthless nature of a capitalist: "If anything happens to the gem, don't forget that you'll have to pay me a huge sum in compensation."
As Chen Zhonghan turned and left, the polite smile of the Leon expert also faded somewhat, as if he had sensed discomfort.
Conan Edogawa frowned as he listened.
This Mr. Chen... doesn't seem as kind as he appears. Does this mean he really is connected to the Black Organization...?
Everyone left the vault, and Mr. Chen, having finished chasing his idol, also prepared to leave.
Usakabe Saiki was also leaving. Under Conan Edogawa's probing gaze, he remained relaxed, seemingly unconcerned about Conan discovering anything and doing anything. He smiled and waved to Ran Mouri, saying, "I have something to discuss with Mr. Chen. I'll come find you guys after I'm done. You guys have fun first."
Ran Mouri naturally prioritized important matters over the affairs of Usui.
After Bo Ye Saiki left with Chen Zhonghan, Mori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko remarked, "It's rare to see Bo Ye-nii doing something serious. I almost forgot he's several years older than us."
Sonoko Suzuki thought for a moment: "Brother Usui also said last time that he was visiting an elder... Why is he visiting elders everywhere? Does he need any help? Should I ask Brother Usui..."
Conan Edogawa, preoccupied with thoughts of the Black Organization, instinctively became anxious upon hearing this. Just as he was about to speak to stop Sonoko Suzuki, Kaito Kid covered his mouth.
"Shh, he said he'll come back later. You can ask him when you have the chance."
Conan Edogawa's mind also calmed down.
Indeed, Bo Ye has always been good to Sonoko and Ran. I don't think that even if Sonoko did ask something, Bo Ye wouldn't really cause Sonoko to get involved in trouble...
Thinking about it carefully, Brother Bo Ye had actually been advising him not to get involved.
If he had listened to Brother Bo Ye from the beginning and gone to America with his parents, ignoring the organization, Brother Bo Ye might have been able to help him get the antidote when the time was right...
Regardless of what Mr. Akai says about Usopp, Conan Edogawa still feels that Usopp has no other problems with him except for concealing some facts.
But in that case, Conan Edogawa would be even more worried about Saiki Usaku.
He was a perfectly normal person who didn't do much work in the organization. Even if the organization were to collapse, the reckoning wouldn't go to Bo Ye Ge... But now that Bo Ye Ge is the heir, who knows what he might do if he does something else!
He needs to persuade Brother Bo Ye not to do anything foolish!
Conan Edogawa was very anxious, but fortunately, Kaito Kid explained to him in time why he had traveled all the way to Singapore and what strange things he had gotten himself into, which barely diverted Conan Edogawa's attention.
In short, Makoto Kyogoku's original patron died, and a notice from Kaito Kid was found at the scene of his death, leading people to believe that Kaito Kid was the murderer.
The expert, Leon, was actually a prime suspect, but he happened to have an alibi. Kaito Kid was also conflicted, so he kidnapped Conan Edogawa and asked him to help him.
"They're all relatives."
"Since we're already here..."
Conan Edogawa: "...I told you that you were deceived by your father, not so that you would have more reason to kidnap me!"
Kaito Kid, quite self-righteously, said, "The great detective wouldn't back down just because it's too difficult, would he?"
Conan Edogawa: "…………"
Hey, his competitive spirit is so easily provoked.
However, Phantom Thief Kid is just as easily provoked. The other party had already said that he would move the Blue Sapphire Fist out tomorrow, and that his vault would be safe until then. But Phantom Thief Kid couldn't wait even one day and decided to steal the jewel that very night.
Then things went wrong, and he almost got beaten up by Makoto Kyogoku. Luckily, Conan Edogawa saved him by kicking a ball from a distance, otherwise he might have been done for.
Because of the ball that bought him some time, Kaito Kid successfully activated his modified hang glider. Previously, hang gliders required wind direction and had to be deployed from a high altitude, but this new version had some added features that allowed him to take off from the spot without wind, freely control his direction, and no longer have to consider the wind direction in the environment. Kaito Kid was having a great time using it.
He picked up Conan Edogawa from the building across the street, who had seized the opportunity to kick a ball, and together they flew directly back to the hotel rooftop swimming pool that Sonoko Suzuki had arranged for them.
After all, Ran Mouri had arranged to meet Shinichi Kudo at the pool that night, and the two were now a couple in a serious relationship. Kaito Kid couldn't find a reason to refuse on Shinichi Kudo's behalf.
Now, due to the unexpected incident of stealing the jewel, he was already a little later than the agreed time. Phantom Thief Kid hurriedly landed, quickly changed into his swimsuit, and prepared to enter the pool.
As soon as he finished changing his clothes, he suddenly heard someone grinding their teeth.
At this distance, only the Edogawa Conan he had just put down could hear him grinding his teeth...
Kaito Kid looked up in confusion and saw Conan Edogawa staring intently at the swimming pool. Following his gaze, Kaito Kid understood.
For some reason, Usui Saiki also appeared at the hotel, wearing a swimsuit, leaning against the edge of the pool with Ran Mouri, admiring the view downstairs. From behind, the two seemed to be getting along well, chatting and laughing.
Kaito Kid retorted, "Your jealousy won't help. Do you need my help? Putting everything else aside, I'm definitely better at sweet talk than you."
Conan Edogawa rolled his eyes: "Forget it, Ran will know you're fake the moment you say it."
"You're underestimating me, aren't you?"
Kaito Kid confidently walked into the pool and unceremoniously squeezed between Saiki Usui and Ran Mouri: "Sorry I'm late."
Usakabe Saiki raised an eyebrow and smiled at Kaito Kid: "Finished with your work?"
Kaito Kid caught the unspoken message and a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead—oh no! He was so focused on playing Shinichi Kudo that he forgot he was practically naked in front of Saiki Usuba…
"Ha, haha." Phantom Thief Kid chuckled dryly. "I'm fine, but what about Bo Ye-ge?"
Considering that Kaito Kid had almost drowned from the traps in the vault, Usoppei Saiki didn't make things too difficult for him and casually replied, "I'm fine here, you two chat... Be mindful of your boundaries, I'm going upstairs to rest for a bit."
Ran Mouri thought Saiki Usaku was reminding them that the swimming pool was on the rooftop and that it was dangerous for them to be near the edge, so they should be careful. But Kaito Kid understood that this was a warning not to do anything out of line just because he was using Shinichi Kudo's identity...
It seems that Usaku Saiki treats his cousin quite well, even helping to manage such small matters.
If Conan Edogawa knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say, "Usui-san is definitely not doing this for me, he's doing it for Ran..."
As soon as Usaku Saiki came ashore, Edogawa Conan stopped staring at Kaito Kid and quickly went over to him. He opened his mouth, wanting to say a thousand words, but didn't know where to begin.
"What's wrong?" Usaku Saiki acted as if nothing was wrong, pinching Edogawa Conan's cheek. "Didn't you have something to ask?"
Conan Edogawa's gaze fell on Saiki Usubaba's coat: "...How is the wound?"
This is actually a euphemism; you can't exactly say, "I heard you went crazy and shot yourself, let me see..."
Bo Ye was probably afraid of scaring people with his wound, so instead of just wearing swim trunks into the pool like most men, he wore a flashy beach sun protection jacket over his upper body, which was now wet and clinging to his skin, making it impossible for him to see the extent of his wound.
But Usoppei wouldn't show it to him. The wound would heal that very night, so there was no point in looking at it. He could just say, "It's all healed, don't worry."
Conan Edogawa remarked, "It's hard not to worry. I really didn't know you were the kind of person who would do that kind of thing."
"That's because you don't understand me." Usoppei found a recliner and sat down, patting the chair next to him so that Edogawa Conan could sit down as well.
After sitting down, Conan Edogawa complained, "I've also realized that I don't really understand you anymore. What are you doing now? Why don't we all work together to disband the organization? You... you're starting to do things for the organization now, which I don't think is wise."
“Hmm, there are quite a few reasons.” Bo Ye Saiki thought for a moment, “To sum it up, I don’t trust those organizations… and most importantly, it’s more interesting to do it this way.”
"What's so interesting about it?" Conan Edogawa was surprised. "Don't you usually hate doing anything? Now you find it interesting to do work? Besides, isn't your adoptive father a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau? I don't think they'll really settle anything with you because of your adoptive father, right?"
"I can tell you've been exchanging quite a bit of information in private," said Bo Yezaki casually. "However, you still know too little."
Conan Edogawa said earnestly, "You know little because you're unwilling to talk about it. Now that you're willing to talk, I'll listen carefully."
"Over the years, I've investigated the situation of the Japanese public security bureau and even the Japanese police force in my own way, and I've considered contributing my resources to help them..."
The silver-haired youth chuckled as if he found it amusing, his short laugh carrying undisguised disdain and contempt.
"Unfortunately, Yu did not conceal his flaws, and the conclusion was that he could not be trusted."
Even Conan Edogawa was confused.
How was this investigation conducted? What did they find? Why does Bo Ye's attitude seem like that of a traitor within the Japanese police force?
"I know there are some bad apples, but it shouldn't be this serious..." Conan Edogawa tried to say something nice.
"You don't need to explain. It's perfect timing, as I've finished dealing with some things these past few days."
Usakabe Saiki looked at him with a smile: "When you return to Japan, you'll probably understand what I mean now. It's not a matter of 'a few bad apples' at all."
Conan Edogawa: "…………???"
What does Bo Ye mean by that?! Stop with the riddles, it's getting scarier and scarier the more I think about it!
--------------------
Don't get your hopes up too high. What Thin Leaf is making Conan wait for isn't about revealing his true identity.
.
"It's not like I haven't considered contributing my resources to help them..."
I've thought about it, so just tell me if it's the truth.
