Chapter 118 Chapter 118 Love and Kill
"Do you want me to help you?" There was even a hint of ridicule in Olga's lazy tone.
Furuya Rei must have already gathered a great deal of information about Kudo Shinichi. However, as an undercover agent for the Public Security Bureau, he couldn't share all of his intelligence with Rum.
But he couldn't tell Rum nothing at all. After all, he was still planning to remain undercover in the organization.
All in all, you have to strike a good balance.
When it comes to dealing with Hu Hu Rum, Olga is obviously much more experienced than Furuya Rei.
Olga didn't hear a response for a long time. She turned her head and saw that Furiya Rei had put away the smile on his face at some point. He was pursing his lips and looking straight ahead. His jaw was a little tense, as if he was concentrating on driving.
Tokyo at night was still as bright as day. Colorful neon lights shone through the front windshield onto his face and into his pupils, reflecting his serious expression and making him look more alive.
Olga was stunned for a moment, then she heard Furuya Rei suddenly call her name:
"Olia."
Olga suddenly came back to her senses from the dream of colorful lights, and put away all her expression. She folded her arms and leaned back in her chair.
"Stop, I don't want to 'talk' right now."
It was a defensive posture. She looked ahead, seemingly focused on the road, even though she wasn't the one at the wheel.
Olga knew what Rei Furuya wanted to do.
incite defection.
Such a smart person, but she always seems to have naive fantasies about the consequences of her good deeds.
Olga didn't like hearing this. Or perhaps it was out of a desire to avoid it. She had no idea how much intelligence and evidence Furuya Rei had gathered about the organization, nor did she know what the organization's future would hold. She simply wanted to maintain the status quo.
Wouldn't it be nice to just keep going like this, Ling Ling?
You continue to be an undercover agent. I'll continue to be a member of my criminal organization. As long as we don't reveal anything, we can stay like this. Isn't it happy?
The car fell into an unbearable silence again.
Finally, it was Olga who broke the silence. She rubbed the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, yawning a little. She squinted slightly uncomfortably under the high beams of the oncoming car, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
"Teitan High School is having a school trip to Kyoto next week."
Olga said this as if she was just chatting.
Furuya Rei also responded quickly, as if he was afraid of ruining the seemingly relaxed atmosphere:
“Have fun.”
“Zero Zero——”
Olga drew out her words, acting like a spoiled child. She slowly turned the sun visor on the side of the car to face the front, then took out a tissue to wipe the corners of her wet eyes. At the same time, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
"What I mean is - Kudo Shinichi will definitely show up."
She glanced sideways, only to meet Rei Furuya's gaze. She quickly turned her head back. She didn't see the emotion in Rei Furuya's eyes, perhaps because she wasn't particularly good at perceiving human emotions.
However, there was obvious concern in those eyes.
"You should look straight ahead when driving," Olga muttered softly.
This earned a chuckle from Rei Furuya. But he continued with the previous topic. He didn't seem that interested in Kudo Shinichi's affairs, but he still followed Olga's words and asked:
"Oh? Is there an antidote already?"
Olga wondered, "Why doesn't he grow bigger sometimes, just like I do sometimes?"
Furuya Rei didn't answer Olga's question, but cleverly skipped over the topic:
"It's not wise for Kudo Shinichi to show up at this time. After all, he's already been targeted by the organization."
Olga rested one elbow on the window frame, her cheek resting on the back of her hand, as she looked at Rei Furuya's focused profile. Under the night light, it lost its usual sharpness, becoming softer and more beautiful.
She opened the window slightly, and the hot and humid summer breeze blew in through the gap, blowing her hair slightly in the direction of Rei Furuya, gently lifting it and sending her slightly vague voice, which was filled with some sarcasm and ridicule, to Rei Furuya's ears:
"Weighing the pros and cons is something only sinister adults do."
Fūya Ling was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Yes, yes."
However, his gaze looking forward was slightly dazed.
*
The day of the school trip soon arrived. Just as Olga had said, Kudo Shinichi showed up.
In fact, Olga didn't want to go at first, as she had no interest in such group activities. But Olga went anyway.
How should I put it? Although Lingling didn't say it, every time Olga started to live a "normal life", his eyes were filled with obvious relief and joy. Perhaps even he didn't notice it.
Well, just think of it as enjoying that moment of happiness. It's not a problem to endure the boring group activities.
After all, this kind of life could never truly belong to her. Everything was just a self-deception, as if she could abandon everything in the past if she just "woke up."
But sometimes deception can bring happiness, right? Besides, this school trip is not completely without fun -
On the stage of Kiyomizu-dera Temple, among a group of high school students wearing the blue uniforms of Teitan High School, the well-known delinquent boy from Class 2-B, the dyed-yellow-haired Nakamichi, suddenly approached Kudo Shinichi, who was rarely seen:
"Hey, Kudo, that's awesome!"
Nakamichi's face even had a slight blush of excitement.
Olga stood at the back of the crowd, leaning against the railing of the Shimizu stage, silently looking in the direction of Kudo Shinichi. He had been looking at the classmates passing by, feeling a bit out of place and at a loss.
This guy probably didn't have many friends. So, in his utter helplessness, he could only talk to small-time thugs like Zhongdao. Or rather, only small-time thugs like Zhongdao would take the initiative to talk to him.
"Nakamichi, what's so great?" Kudo Shinichi's face was clearly filled with confusion. He had been away from campus life for too long—almost half a year!
Although Nakamichi covered his mouth with one hand and lowered his voice, Olga could still see his mouth shape from where she was standing. He said:
"Four of the top ten most popular girls at Teitan High School chosen by our internal vote are in our group!"
Obviously, Kudo Shinichi didn't understand. But his friendship with Nakamichi was very plastic after all, so Nakamichi naturally didn't notice this. He just put his hands on his hips and continued in a normal, confident, and righteous manner:
"However, since you've already confessed your feelings to Maori in London, I won't consider her anymore. I'll leave her to you!"
As he spoke, Nakamichi's gaze fell on Suzuki Sonoko and Sera Masumi, passing over them one by one.
Now, Kudo Shinichi finally understood - the so-called top ten most popular girls at Teitan High School included Mao Li Ran, Suzuki Sonoko, and Sera Masumi. At the same time, he was also speechless about Nakamichi's wishful thinking:
"Idiot, Sonoko has a boyfriend who's very skilled in martial arts, and Sera is a master of Jeet Kune Do. You have no hope."
Of course, Kudo Shinichi said this with good intentions. But Nakamichi still refused to accept his fate and shifted his gaze in another direction.
Kudo Shinichi looked in the direction of Nakamichi's gaze, and then, unexpectedly, his eyes met Olga's.
Olga even waved at them with interest.
Kudo Shinichi hastily and nervously averted his gaze, and then saw that Nakamichi's eyes suddenly lit up. He was still staring at Olga, even showing an infatuated expression.
"Hello--!"
Kudo Shinichi quickly tugged at Nakamichi's arm, trying to pull him away. To no avail, he resorted to feeding the demon with his own body and took a step to the left, blocking Nakamichi's view of Olga.
He now knew that four of the top ten most popular girls in Teitan High School were from his class, and the other one was Olga.
Well, he should have thought of it earlier. It was such a no-brainer!
"Kudo, what are you doing? Olga-chan is greeting me!"
Nakamichi tried to turn sideways to look at Olga, but Kudo Shinichi took a step sideways as he did, blocking his view again.
No. Kudo Shinichi secretly complained in his heart. She was saying hello to me.
But in short—
"Don't try to hit on Olga, you have no chance." Kudo Shinichi advised from the bottom of his heart.
"Olga also has a boyfriend who is very skilled in martial arts? Or is she also a master of Jeet Kune Do?"
Zhong Dao was really confused now. He tried to look in Olga's direction again, but Kudo Shinichi continued to block his gaze. But it didn't matter, he remembered Olga's appearance very well.
"Olga is the skinny type, right? Unlike Sera-san, who's so athletic!"
Nakamichi was still talking loudly, and Kudo Shinichi was just terrified and wanted him to shut up quickly - are you really not afraid of being killed by Olga tonight?
Of course, in Kudo Shinichi's heart, Olga was still not so cruel as to kill a human with her own hands. He just silently mourned for Nakamichi in his heart: Yes, even compared to the other three, this one is the one you will never get.
Putting aside the fact that Olga, a formidable figure, was from a criminal organization, even if Nakamichi was an uneducated, gang-building thug, he was just an ordinary person compared to her. They were simply from different worlds!
Furthermore...
Kudo Shinichi thought of Furuya Rei, remembered what he had said, and remembered the scenes of him and Olga behaving intimately... As he thought about it, his eyes couldn't help but become crescent-shaped.
Besides, Olga might already be married. And her suspected marriage partner is obviously petty, treacherous, and vindictive. He is someone you absolutely must not mess with!
While complaining in his heart, Kudo Shinichi saw that Nakamichi's eyes, which had been a little lost, lit up again and kept waving behind him. Kudo Shinichi suddenly realized something,
Before he could turn around to confirm his suspicions, a familiar voice rang out from behind him. It was a soft whisper, but it still sent a chill through him.
Now, Kudo Shinichi thought, he seemed to be able to sense the "unique smell of the organization members" that Haibara had once described.
"Sorry, I'll borrow it for a moment."
Before Kudo Shinichi could react to what Olga wanted to borrow, he suddenly felt a force from behind his collar, pulling him in another direction.
So I borrowed him...
ah? !
By the time Kudo Shinichi came to his senses, he was already being pulled by Olga to a corner of the Shimizu stage.
From a distance, he seemed to be able to see the resentful expression on Nakamichi's face. He could already foresee what kind of strange rumors this loudmouth would spread in the class. Kudo Shinichi really wanted to yell -
Listen to my explanation! My relationship with Olga is really not what you think! I don't have the heart or the courage to do it!
However, Olga quickly turned his face, adjusted his position, and drew Kudo Shinichi's attention back.
When Kudo Shinichi saw the pretty guy with red hair and green eyes, he smiled meaningfully and said:
"You're really brave, actually daring to appear in front of me like this."
She bent one leg, folded her arms, and leaned against the railing of the Qingshui stage. The blood-red afterglow of the setting sun fell on one side of her, and her three-dimensional features created a clear boundary between light and dark in the light cast on her face, much like the kind of lighting favored by fashion magazines.
"You know who I am, right?" She asked him, tilting her head slightly.
"Huh?"
Kudo Shinichi didn't understand Olga's reason for asking him this. But he couldn't help but complain in his heart. Isn't she Haibara's sister and Mr. Amuro's lover?
Then, he thought of another possibility.
"Arthas, you—" Kudo Shinichi straightened his expression and asked her tentatively and uncertainly, "Are you on our side?"
Olga made a sighing gesture, stood up from the railing, and turned away.
Kudo Shinichi could vaguely hear her sighing words, but they were a little blurry due to the distance:
"I said that love can make people less intelligent."
Kudo Shinichi was stunned. Just as he was about to sort out his thoughts carefully, Nakamichi came over without him noticing and patted his shoulder, startling Kudo Shinichi from his thoughts.
"What did Olga just say to you?" Nakamichi didn't notice Kudo Shinichi's abnormality at all. He just leaned closer with a gossipy and ambiguous look on his face. "I say, you are really lucky!"
As he said this, he patted Kudo Shinichi's back vigorously. In the puzzled sound of "Huh?" by Kudo Shinichi, he winked at him and said:
"Didn't you confess your feelings to Mori in London? Why are you still entangled with Olga? Ah, Sera-san also took the initiative to talk to you before. She is very interested in you, right? And Suzuki, you are also childhood friends, right?"
In the dumbfounded look on Kudo Shinichi's face, Nakamichi gave him a look of "I understand". Then, ignoring Erkang's hand, Kudo Shinichi ran towards his friends who were calling him.
Regardless of the extent of the mental attack that Kudo Shinichi suffered because of Nakamichi's words, in short, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and even when he was talking to Xiaolan, he was a little absent-minded.
Finally, after the night grew darker, Conan, who had been hiding under the bed, could no longer hold back. He knocked on the bed, waking up the already asleep Hattori Heiji, hid in his schoolbag, and let the still yawning Hattori Heiji stealthily lead him out of the hotel where Teitan High School was staying.
Then, with Hattori Heiji's eyes that said "you'd better think of a good excuse", they squatted in the corner behind the hotel. Conan made a "hush" gesture to Hattori Heiji, took out his cell phone, and dialed a number in his address book.
The call was quickly connected. Although it was already one in the morning, Conan knew that it was still too early for that person to go to bed.
Conan asked almost directly:
"Hey, Mr. Amuro, what kind of person is Arthas?"
He still spoke in a childish tone. It seemed that the identity of "Conan" had gradually become Kudo Shinichi's comfort zone and safety zone.
There was silence on the other end of the line for a long time. Conan held his breath and could almost hear the occasional sound of keyboard tapping and the cup hitting the table.
Then, he heard Furuya Rei utter these horrifying words in a casual and careless tone:
"She already knew your identity, Kudo Shinichi."
He directly revealed his true identity!
Now, Conan was really panicking. Although Furuya Rei was a public security officer, he was panicking. Sometimes Conan didn't know why he was so wary and afraid of Furuya Rei. For a moment, even his tone became a little stumbling:
"——Eh? I, I'm not Shinichi-nii, what are you talking about, Mr. Amuro, hahahaha, hahaha..."
Even though Conan tried his best to smile, his smile became more and more dry.
On the other end of the phone, Furuya Rei didn't dwell on the matter. He seemed to be busy with other things, so after giving Conan a joking start, he simply reminded him briefly:
"But still be careful."
Then, a dead tone came from the phone.
Conan finally breathed a sigh of relief, his brilliant IQ finally taking over. He crouched on the ground, his chin resting on one hand, his head slightly lowered as he began to think. Beside him, Hattori Heiji sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands in his pockets, his head already beginning to nod off.
Olga already knew his identity, and Conan also noticed this.
So, since he hasn't been exposed yet, does that mean Olga hasn't reported the matter to the organization?
So... was it true that I was deliberately scaring him in the afternoon?
Conan couldn't help but reveal his half-moon eyes again. This guy, even his bad taste is very similar to Mr. Amuro, they are indeed a married couple! However,
Conan began to think again about what Qilugu Zero said before he hung up the phone - "But still be careful."
What to be careful about?
Of course, be careful of Olga.
But why would Mr. Amuro say that? He and Olga are so close, could Olga still be on the side of the organization?
For a moment, Conan was confused again. He always felt that these two people were very strange, whether it was their strange personalities or their strange way of getting along.
Loving each other, yet being wary of each other?
Conan covered the sides of his head and scratched his hair fiercely. Really. I don't understand these two guys at all!
But anyway... let's just listen to Mr. Amuro for now.
*
While Conan was struggling in the corner at night, Olga also received a call.
She just came out of the bathroom in her bathrobe when the violin version of "Ave Maria" sounded.
The school arranged double or triple rooms for all students, but Olga upgraded to a single room at her own expense. This way, she wouldn't have to find a deserted corner like Kudo Shinichi did to avoid her roommate making phone calls.
In fact, after finishing his conversation with Conan, Rei Furuya felt that something was amiss. After a moment's hesitation, he stopped what he was doing and called Olga.
He knew Olga's sleep schedule too well. Even if she was on a school trip, she wouldn't be asleep at this hour. Most likely she was playing games, but a little more likely she was getting ready to play games after taking a shower.
As for Rei Furuya's test, Olga simply leaned back on the bed, bounced twice on the soft mattress, and then lay on the bed with her arms and legs spread, looking at the light on the ceiling.
The corners of her mouth curled up, but her tone was normal and casual:
"As long as he doesn't commit suicide, there's no way he'll be exposed."
That's correct.
But isn't Kudo Shinichi already courting death? Taking the antidote at this time to grow bigger and appear in front of so many people...
Even though Olga's acting skills had reached a superb level, Furuya Rei knew her too well, so he almost immediately realized that Olga was about to cause trouble.
After ending the call with Olga, Rei Furuya called Conan again, intending to at least give him a subtle reminder.
Unfortunately, the call didn’t go through.
After all, Conan couldn't possibly squat outside the hotel all night.
Looking at his phone, which had automatically ended the call and gone dark, Furuya Rei sighed silently. Then, he continued with his original task. He muttered to himself:
"Sure enough, only sinister adults would weigh the pros and cons."
Young people, most of the time, act entirely according to their own hearts, including Conan and Olga.
*
In fact, that night, before Kudo Shinichi transformed into Conan, a murder occurred in the hotel.
At that time, Kudo Shinichi was still enthusiastically solving the case. He even covered his ears in time when Olga was about to give him a spoiler about the criminal. Then, in front of everyone's surprised eyes, he declared war on Olga:
"This time, let's compete seriously to see who can deduce the murderer first."
"Ah."
At that time, Olga crossed her arms and tilted her head slightly.
"Then you've already lost."
Regardless of how Kudo Shinichi gritted his teeth and looked helpless at the time, he was unable to deduce the murderer that night because the antidote had taken effect.
Then he turned into Conan and hid under the bed alone. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Finally, he woke up Hattori Heiji and called Furuya Rei to confirm what happened.
Olga naturally guessed this.
After finishing her call with Rei Furuya, she lay on the bed and stared at the light on the ceiling for a while before blinking her uncomfortable eyes and sitting up.
Then, ignoring the symptom that she always saw black spots in her eyes due to looking directly at the light for too long, Olga hummed a song in a good mood, found the contact number she wanted in the address book, and dialed it.
The call wasn't answered immediately. After all, it was nearly two in the morning, and not everyone could maintain such a gruesome schedule. But Olga didn't wait more than 15 seconds.
The call was connected, and a slightly hoarse voice came from the other end. It was obvious that they had just been woken from their sleep. But the tone was still respectful.
"Arthas? What's going on?"
Olga sat on the edge of the bed, shaking her legs, and her tone seemed like a casual chat between ordinary friends:
"I remember you used to work at a TV station, right? Are you still in touch with your former colleagues?"
But it was obvious that Kiel could not regard anything Olga said to her as ordinary chat. She almost woke up immediately and carefully guessed Olga's intentions.
Then, she heard Olga say in an innocent tone:
"There's some exciting gossip about to happen here, and I'd be very sad if it wasn't picked up by a reputable TV station and seen by the whole world."
Just like an innocent little girl.
But Kil broke out in a cold sweat.
Someone is going to be unlucky again.
After hanging up the phone, Olga smiled sincerely, a smile that no one would have thought was planning anything evil.
Olga threw her phone carelessly on the bed.
The case that happened at the hotel tonight has not been solved yet. But tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or the day after that... In any case, Kudo Shinichi will use his confident deduction to deduce the result in front of everyone before the end of the school trip.
interesting.
*
The next day, after turning back into Kudo Shinichi, Kudo Shinichi indeed began to continue solving cases.
Accompanied by Kyoto local police officer Ayanokouji, they went to a restaurant with the victim's crew and met Ooka Momiji.
"Ah, isn't this Olga-chan? You've been living in the countryside for so long and you're not used to it. So you've finally come to Kyoto?"
Ooka Momiji was still the same as she was when she was little, her expression, her tone, even her taste in nail art. However, this time she was wearing a school uniform instead of a kimono.
Amidst Kudo Shinichi's inquiring gaze and Hattori Heiji's surprised expression, Olga slowly smiled at Ooka Momiji:
"Indeed, long time no see. Why, you didn't bring your butler this time?"
"Eh? What are you talking about? Didn't Olga-chan bring your Zero with her too?"
Ooka Koi smiled. Olga smiled too. Rei-rei was different to her than Iori Muga was to Ooka Koi.
Ah, maybe it's the same.
But after all, it was Ooka Koha who kept saying that she liked Hattori Heiji, but when she looked at Hattori Heiji, there was only pure desire to win in her eyes.
The greetings didn't last long. With Ooka Hongye's hint, the group finally deciphered the code related to the deceased. But at the same time—
Suddenly someone shouted, "A tengu appeared on Kiyamachi Street!"
Tengu. This is one of the key words in this case.
Almost immediately, Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji took the lead and ran in the direction the man pointed. The others naturally followed closely behind. Olga, not suited to strenuous exercise, just walked slowly behind.
Then, as expected, I saw a group of people wearing Tengu masks running around on the street, scaring people. Passersby could be heard screaming incessantly.
Kudo Shinichi and the others immediately rushed to help, intending to drive away these troublemakers who were causing trouble and scaring people everywhere. For a moment, only Ooka Momiji, Suzuki Sonoko, who had no fighting power at all, and Olga, who had just walked over slowly, were left standing.
But soon, as Suzuki Sonoko screamed in fear, "Don't leave us where we are," several people wearing Tengu masks suddenly rushed towards them.
Ooka Hongye subconsciously protected Suzuki Sonoko, whom she was not familiar with, behind her, but the two still screamed at the same time. And Olga,
She looked at the person rushing towards her expressionlessly, raised her left hand reflexively, and hit the man on the back of the neck, causing him to faint instantly.
Olga finally reacted and quickly withdrew her left hand, putting it into her school uniform pocket.
No one should have seen it just now... right?
Almost at the same time, the sound of heavy objects colliding was heard behind him.
Olga turned around and saw that Ooka Kouye's butler had appeared out of nowhere, seemingly having just dispatched two men in Tengu masks with knee strikes. As he caught Ooka Kouye, who had rushed towards him, yelling "Iori," he looked thoughtfully at Olga's left hand, which was in her pocket.
Olga's left fingertips, twitching involuntarily in her pocket, narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at Iori Muga. Did he just...see?
At this moment, Kudo Shinichi and his group finally returned. Of course, Hattori Heiji also returned.
When Ooka Momiji's attention was temporarily attracted by Hattori Heiji, Iori Muga walked to a position two steps away from Olga and stood side by side with her.
He was still looking at Ooka Momiji, but he was talking to Olga:
"Long time no see, Miss Arthas."
Thus, Olga could be sure that the undercover agent saw her using her left hand.
Suddenly, she wanted to kill someone.
Iori Muga's existence is one of the reasons why Olga believes that the former Prime Minister cannot defeat the current Prime Minister.
*
On the afternoon of the third day of the school trip, Kudo Shinichi caught the murderer on the spot on the Shimizu stage by fishing, and together with Sera Masumi and Hattori Heiji, they gave a perfect and accurate reasoning.
Seeing his confident and complacent smile, Olga, who was not far away, also smiled.
The next second,
Countless flashbulbs lit up one after another. Before Kudo Shinichi could react, a group of reporters, seemingly unintentionally, rushed over and thrust microphones towards him.
"Kudo, what do you think about this case?"
"Kudo, I haven't seen you for the past six months. Where have you been?"
"Kudo, will you continue to assist the police in solving cases?"
"Kudo, what do you think of the recent rise of 'Sleeping Kogoro'? Are you two competitors?"
…
Countless questions rained down on Kudo Shinichi. Amidst the noisy questions and flashes of light from the reporters, Kudo Shinichi's face was blank at first.
Then, there was surprise and astonishment.
In the end, only terror remained.
He quickly tried to cover his face, trying to deny his identity as Kudo Shinichi. However, his confident deductions were already being broadcast live on numerous television stations to audiences everywhere.
In the end, Kudo Shinichi escaped.
Taking advantage of the chaos at the scene, he fled under the cover of Iori Muga who appeared out of nowhere.
At the same time, Olga, who had been standing not far away and watching everything with interest, also lowered her presence and quietly disappeared behind the crowd.
It seems that Kiel's friends at the TV station are still very powerful.
However, this is also thanks to the fact that Kudo Shinichi himself is a hot topic. After all, he is the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era.
*
On the other side, after escorting Kudo Shinichi out of the siege safely and watching him sit on the back of Hattori Heiji's motorcycle, and the two of them drove away together, Iori Muga stood there and dialed a number.
"The target has been escorted away. Now we just need to inform the various TV stations—"
On the other end of the phone, Kuroda Heibei's face darkened completely. His tone was low and heavy:
"The TV stations were all broadcasting live today, and we were a step behind."
Iori Muga was stunned. For some reason, he suddenly thought of Olga. Without any evidence.
*
Airport.
After Kudo Yukiko attracted all the media attention, Kudo Yusaku answered the phone that had been ringing since a while ago:
"My son is useless, so I'm sorry to bother you. Now, leave it to us, Director Kurodasato."
After hanging up the phone, Kudo Yusaku looked up at the media who had surrounded Kudo Yukiko and were constantly asking questions about Kudo Shinichi, and frowned rarely.
At this point, the news that Kudo Shinichi was still alive was completely exposed.
