Chapter 565
"Heh...hehe, quite interesting."
Leon, the expert, barely managed to hold on, taking advantage of everyone's unfamiliarity with psychological suggestion, and began to deny it again: "However, I don't think I told the truth; I was just led astray by you. I—"
The silver-haired youth looked at him indifferently, revealing a mocking gaze.
"You don't actually think I came to the hospital just to visit Sonoko, do you?"
A sense of foreboding rose in Leon's heart: "What are you talking about?"
Usakabe Saiki did not respond, but simply turned to the side and stretched out his arm in a certain direction behind him, as if he were introducing someone.
The Leon expert instinctively looked in the direction it seemed to be and found it was Chen Zhonghan.
Old Mr. Chen still had a smiling expression, but his smile now carried a sinister undertone: "Mr. Leon, where is my Azure Fist?"
Leon's back broke out in a cold sweat.
The Fist of Blue Sapphire... of course, is gone.
After the match, he went to check the room and was shocked to discover the result.
The gemstones entrusted to his security company not only disappeared, but he didn't even know when they went missing. He might not have discovered it for a long time. Once this news gets out, his company's reputation will be ruined immediately.
He even set up a fake surveillance video, intending to find an excuse, such as the system being turned on and it being inconvenient to let people in, to stop Chen Zhonghan outside, check the surveillance to confirm that "the gem is still there", and buy time.
After all, Phantom Thief Kid usually returns the gems. But this time, for some reason, Phantom Thief Kid has been keeping a low profile, and no one has seen his actions. Expert Leon thought that he could drag it out until the end of the competition and maybe pretend that nothing happened.
He waited anxiously for Chen Zhonghan to come and check on the gemstone, but Chen Zhonghan probably had something to do and didn't come to confirm. He was relieved...
Now, the Leon experts feel that they may have breathed a sigh of relief too soon.
Although he didn't know the specifics, even if he hadn't studied psychology, he could tell that the visitor was up to no good.
"Are you planning to watch The Fist of Blue Sapphire? Then we need to go back to the clubhouse."
The Leon expert attempted to shift the focus, hinting at a private chat.
At the very least, he can't cause too much of a scene in a public place like this. He's considered a celebrity in Singapore, and if no one's watching, this matter might be settled privately. But if people are watching, it's not so easy to downplay the incident...
Unfortunately, Chen Zhonghan didn't seem to intend to give him that face.
Chen Zhonghan directly questioned, "Before that, don't you plan to explain your cooperation with the pirates?"
Leon, the expert, was not only sweating profusely on his back, but also visibly sweating from his forehead: "Mr. Chen, are you really going to believe the nonsense of an outsider? I don't know what kind of cooperation you have with him, but young people always have a richer imagination..."
"This is not just idle talk from outsiders."
A trembling voice suddenly interrupted: "I am the witness."
The expert, Leon, suddenly turned his head and saw that Bo Yezaki had gone to a corner to pick up someone, and that person was none other than the secretary he intended to silence!
This secretary knows a lot of his secrets, and if he wanted evidence, he could probably produce most of it.
Now that things have come to this, the Leon experts understand that they have no room for explanation.
He didn't quite understand how all of this had happened. He felt fine in the morning, and when his secretary asked for leave because she felt she was being followed, he only felt a little guilty that the people he had sent had been discovered... But after discovering that the Blue Sapphire Fist was missing, everything collapsed like a sudden flood.
The expert, Leon, was quite classy. He felt that being stubborn at this stage was not elegant and would only make him look like a joke. All he could do now was stall for time, such as taking them back to his home to get some documents and evidence, and then taking the opportunity to go to the rooftop and escape by helicopter.
So Leon sighed and said, "So you took leave to go see Mr. Chen, planning to reduce your own punishment by betraying me as a witness?"
Secretary: "No, I originally intended to go find Mr. Mori, but Mr. Mori seems to have forgotten... Instead, I ran into Mr. Usakuya."
Upon hearing this, the expert Leon became even angrier: "And then what? You're so indiscriminate, you're planning to betray me to anyone you meet?"
The secretary took a deep breath: "No... it was Mr. Bo Ye who, upon seeing me, reminded me that you intended to silence me, so I..."
Leon expert: "...???"
Others: "...Huh?"
Conan Edogawa was about to ask a question when he suddenly remembered his current identity. He was so frustrated he almost got internal injuries from holding it in, so he could only poke Kaito Kid to ask for him.
Kaito Kid asked helplessly, "How did you find out that Mr. Leon was going to silence him?"
"Just yesterday, one look and you'd know."
Usoppei replied casually, "It's similar to how some detectives can tell someone's profession at a glance. Anyway, I can tell who wants to kill someone at a glance. I'm very good at judging people in this area. Mr. Leon is an expert in criminal psychology, after all. I don't know why his acting is so bad."
Leon expert: "…………"
This isn't just a matter of acting skills anymore; this is a bit outrageous, isn't it?
Conan Edogawa: "…………"
As expected of Usui-san, who could see through Mr. Akai's identity as an FBI undercover agent at a glance... his ability to judge people is truly impeccable...
"Anyway, I originally just wanted to remind her, but since I seemed more trustworthy, the secretary told me everything, including Mr. Leon's cooperation with the pirates. I thought about it and felt that this was a serious matter, and it wasn't appropriate for an outsider like me to get involved, so I went to see Mr. Chen..."
Bo Yezhai smiled at Chen Zhonghan: "After all, given Mr. Chen's emphasis on Singapore, he must have a better solution."
Chen Zhonghan nodded in response.
This young man from that organization is really good at interpersonal relationships.
Not only can he accurately identify potential problems and understand what he cares about and what kind of help he can provide, but more importantly, he seems to be blessed with good fortune—
With so many people coming and going to Singapore every year, Bo Yezhai happened to be there when Leon was making preparations for something big, something that would destroy Singapore.
As Chen Zhonghan has gotten older, he's become a bit superstitious, regardless of what he thought when he was younger. Compared to inspirational characters who suffer setbacks and then get back up, he feels it's more reliable to work with people who always have smooth sailing and who get whatever they need delivered to them by God.
Moreover, if he handles this news properly, it can not only elevate the family's prestige in Singapore, but also allow him to gain enormous profits.
But this young man didn't haggle at all, readily handing over the information to him for free, and even included a witness who had already been won over.
What does this tell us?
During the conversation, Chen Zhonghan, who had been subtly influenced by psychological suggestions, thought to himself, "This means that cooperating with this young man will definitely bring benefits."
Who wouldn't want to work with someone who is straightforward and doesn't fuss over trivial matters?
By the time he convinces others to collaborate with this young man, he'll have the material...
In fact, the more illegitimate a business is, the more they care about the character of their partners. If the bottom line is really low, they would rather not cooperate than be bitten in return.
The Leon expert was taken away by the police called by Chen Zhonghan, who smiled and said goodbye to Bo Yezhaiji.
Usakabe Saiki said, "You don't need to worry too much about the Blue Sapphire Fist. The jewel that Kaito Kid stole should be returned tonight."
Chen Zhonghan's smile became even more genuine: "Oh, that's good. It's good that you were here this time, so Leon didn't succeed... I didn't expect that after all these years, he would still hold a grudge against us for not letting Singapore develop according to his plan, and he wanted to destroy Singapore and rebuild it because of that... Sigh, if he had half of your composure, his plan wouldn't have been so outrageous and would have been rejected by all the votes."
That's a bit hypocritical; the truth is that Leon's plans don't align with the interests of other members of the council.
But Bo Yezaki wouldn't expose him: "Not at all, I'm still young and naive, unlike you, who are mature and experienced. That's why I decided to tell you as soon as I received the news, because I know that only you can handle such an important matter."
Conan Edogawa's eyes nearly popped out of his head.
Wow! It turns out that Brother Bo Ye can be just as serious in his speech and actions as he dresses!
Chen Zhonghan didn't know Bo Yezhaiji from before, so he didn't find it strange. He was coaxed into smiling and was reluctant to leave, saying that he would treat Bo Yezhaiji to a meal after he finished his work.
After Chen Zhonghan and his team left, Ran Mouri dared to speak: "Uh... so Brother Bo Ye solved a case?"
It feels so complicated, full of twists and turns. I initially thought it was just some cheap trick to interfere with the match and disrupt things, and that it would be fine once it was exposed. But then I was suddenly told that Phantom Thief Kid had already stolen the Blue Sapphire Fist, and in the end, it turned out to be something like preventing a murder and stopping Singapore from being destroyed by pirates...
It's like the story starts with you searching for the Dragon Balls, but ends with you having conquered the universe – who would have thought that at the beginning?
Even Conan Edogawa was dumbfounded.
He was just on the first floor, investigating the death of Kyogoku Makoto's recommender, when he suddenly didn't see Bo Ye, and all his questions were answered.
He felt a strange emptiness.
Usakabe Saiki seemed relaxed, as if dealing with such a bunch of problems was just a piece of cake for him: "Anyway, everything will be fine from now on. Everyone can just focus on the competition and recover from their injuries, and enjoy your trip... I'm going to England next, so I won't be joining you all."
Conan Edogawa: "???"
Now Conan Edogawa was really anxious, and quickly found an opportunity to chat privately with Saiki Usaku: "Usaku-kun, what are you doing in England?"
Usaku Saiki said the same thing again: "You'll know when you go back to Japan."
Conan Edogawa: "…………"
He had no choice; he didn't want to, but Brother Bo Ye forced him into it...
Conan Edogawa silently informed Shuichi Akai and Kagemitsu Morofushi.
Morofushi Kagemitsu then passed the message on to Furuya Rei.
Rei Furuya: "...Regarding this...the situation with the Japanese Public Security Bureau has indeed become a bit delicate lately..."
Zhu Fujingguang was bewildered: "What's going on? What did Bo Ye do?"
Rei Furuya closed his eyes in pain: "I don't know what he did, but... I was told not to investigate for now."
Morofushi Kagemitsu: "???"
--------------------
Usopp's current negotiation strategy combines rhetoric and psychological suggestion. The other party is unaware that they've been manipulated; they're simply more inclined to believe Usopp Saiki.
This copy is meant to illustrate that Bo Ye is negotiating all over the world... and his attitude is completely different from when he was in the organization.
