"In other words, the other party is still unable to confirm Huibara's identity?"
After listening to Tang Ze's guess, Conan felt that there was no basis for it, but he could not think of how the other party noticed them. He could only deduce based on Tang Ze's guess.
"After all, becoming smaller is too unbelievable. Under normal circumstances, you might not even notice it." Tang Ze skillfully used language skills to guide the topic in the direction he wanted.
The smarter a person is, the more likely they are to notice the "trap" left in Tang Ze's words.
As expected, Conan noticed this keenly after hearing Tang Ze's words, "You said under normal circumstances? Does that mean the current situation is unusual?"
"Yes, normally, a little suspicion alone might not be enough to make him take action."
Tang Ze looked at Conan meaningfully and directly put the blame on him, "But your performance may also be a major catalyst."
"Me?" Conan's expression froze when he heard that.
"That's right. I'm afraid your behavior in many of these cases has attracted the attention of some people." Tang Ze reminded: "Those abnormalities alone will not cause any associations, but if Huiyuan appears next to you..."
“!!!”
As a detective, Conan naturally knew what this meant.
Perhaps if we look at these suspicious points about the two of them separately, they are nothing, but Conan and Haibara know each other, which makes people inevitably make associations.
"But I basically relied on Uncle Maori to hide, and the cases were all with acquaintances, not strangers." Conan frowned and said, "Then how did they notice me?"
"Don't forget, he's from the FBI," Tang Ze reminded him. "Don't forget where it came from."
“!!!”
Obviously, Tang Ze's words reminded Conan instantly. He looked at Tang Ze with a look of surprise and said in disbelief: "You mean she..."
"Ah..." Tang Ze nodded and said, "You don't think that only one person can easily investigate the black organization in this foreign country, right?
It's only right to have help when necessary."
"What are you talking about?" Yukiko looked at Conan with some dissatisfaction and said, "Stop playing dumb and speak clearly!"
After hearing Yukiko's words, Conan looked at Haibara and others who were watching the two of them, and slowly told everyone about Judy.
Although he didn't think of it at first, with Tang Ze's hint, Conan quickly thought of Judy Stelling, Xiaolan's English teacher at school.
Foreigners, Meilijian, something strange happened during the previous test... all these factors combined together seem to really point to the other party's identity problem.
More importantly, if he remembered correctly, the other party was also on the bus in the bus hijacking case!
Although I thought it was just a coincidence at the time, it may not be the case now.
Could it be that the two of them have some plan that requires them to meet, or is it a test, one overt and one covert?
Thinking of this, Conan's thoughts became confused, and he felt that the previously unrelated points were connected together by an invisible network.
"So it was revealed during the last visit with Hattori..."
Conan put his right index finger on his chin, his eyes darkening slightly: "Although I discovered her abnormality that time, I also alerted the enemy..."
"No, I think they must have noticed you before, whether that time happened or not." Tang Ze said: "No matter what, they have already noticed you."
"There are some noteworthy aspects about both Haibara and I, so we attracted his attention?" Conan had a deeper understanding of Akai Shuichi.
"Fortunately, this person is not an opponent but an ally." Conan was somewhat relieved, and then he remembered something and said, "So, what about the kidnapped old man?"
"I'm afraid he is one of theirs." Tang Ze nodded.
"So what should we do now? Should we ask them to meet and make things clear?" Yukiko couldn't help but suggest when she heard the two men say that the other party was a friendly force.
"No!" Huiyuan immediately rejected the suggestion. "Our current identities are strictly confidential. There's no need to let outsiders know our identities!"
When talking about this "outsider", Huibara deliberately emphasized the tone, and the meaning was naturally self-evident.
"I don't think it's necessary for now."
Tang Ze echoed, "Even if we trust him, he still has a huge organization behind him. He can trust his companions, but we can't.
Therefore, everything should be done with caution. Even if we find the right time to meet, it would be safer for me to hide my identity and keep it in the dark as a backup plan."
He had no intention of showing up in the red team just like that. Although it was said that all the members of the black team were undercover and only the hardworking Gin was the backbone, Tang Ze could not guarantee whether there were any hidden black players in the red team.
In particular, Akai Shuichi's boss James Blake is full of suspicious points and must be guarded against, such as his surname being the same as Holmes's nemesis Moriarty, and his surname also happens to be the English word for "black".
Although these doubts are groundless and may even be hints of deception that you can ignore in the comics, you would be a fool if you were not on guard when it really happens.
It is better to believe it exists than not to believe it exists. This is Tang Ze's consistent prudence.
At the same time, he also took the opportunity to point out the other party's identity and express his own position.
That is, you can contact the other party. After all, both sides have a common enemy, but you will not show up as a secret backup insurance.
As for Tang Ze's decision, Conan thought about it and understood Tang Ze's plan, and nodded.
Moreover, in his opinion, as an influential "famous criminal", Tang Ze can play a greater role as an "outsider" in their confrontation with the black organization.
After all, even the FBI cannot show up openly in Japan. In this case, Tang Ze, an official figure, must be taken into consideration regardless of whether he is on the red or black side.
And it is indeed as Tang Ze said, even if he is trustworthy because of the information he and Mingmei have, the people behind the organization may not be.
Rather than trusting the other party's strict confidentiality, it is better not to give them this opportunity in the first place.
Seeing that Conan also understood what he meant, Tang Ze, having achieved his goal, immediately looked at Miyano Akemi beside him and said, "I'm sorry to bother you for the time being, Miss Akemi. It's not the time to meet him yet."
"It doesn't matter. It's enough to know the news about the prince." Miyano Akemi shook her head and murmured softly, "Is he looking for me..."
After hearing what her elder sister said, Huihara, who was sitting next to Mingmei, looked even darker.
