Chapter 107: Predictable Joy
Beings with special powers like ghosts and sorcerers are not suitable to be widely known. Their existence will only be made known to others when necessary. So unlike Shuichi Akai, whose faked death is a semi-public secret in the entire FBI, this is a secret known only to a few people.
On the FBI side, Shuichi Akai and Conan Edogawa have asked them to suspend the search for [Umekawa Kuroko], and said, "This person is not from the black party but a third party, and his goal is the same as ours, which is to take down the winery."
Although it took some effort, with the guarantee of Shuichi Akai and the Kudo family, the suspicion level of [Umekawa Kuroko] in the FBI's eyes was generally eliminated.
On the other hand, Gojo Satoru of the Neon Public Security Bureau directly contacted their top management, saying that [Umekawa Kuko] was a free-spirited sorcerer who had accidentally entered the scene while hunting for a sorcerer and was mistaken for a member of an illegal organization. Even the name [Umekawa Kuko] itself was a code name used during the operation.
This can't be considered a lie. As soon as the report on the Noso and Satome incident and the evidence that Gojo Satoru had someone help him forge an identity came out, the Japanese police praised [Umekawa Kuko] for her contribution in eliminating harm for the people. They immediately called off their search for her and informed the undercover Furuya Rei, AKA Amuro Toru, that "Umekawa Kuko is not the black side. It has been found that she is a member of the positive side who accidentally entered while carrying out a special mission."
Although Toru Amuro did not completely believe this information, he still took the opportunity of this meeting to ask for information about Kaito Kid to convey this information to Conan Edogawa who was stalking with him at the time.
Then he learned from Edogawa Conan that everything they heard and saw at that time was acted out by [Umekawa Kuko], who used their reactions to solve the case.
Amuro Toru, a man with a fiery temper who would never tolerate provocation, was instantly enraged upon hearing this news. He stood up and slammed the table in the Poirot Café lounge, "She actually lied about a terrorist attack at Shibuya Station to use me for this mission?"
Conan Edogawa: "That's not a lie; it really happened. She said she was completely helpless at the time, and it was because of us that she and her companions were able to bring Nozomi and Satomi to justice at the critical moment, preventing them from carrying out large-scale terrorist attacks in Shibuya and other places."
"I see. That's understandable."
Upon hearing that the terrorist attack was true and was indeed prevented by this opportunity, Amuro Toru's anger instantly disappeared and he sat back down.
"To accomplish such a feat at such a low cost is truly a masterful technique. If I had the chance, I would definitely learn this technique from this wise and courageous young lady."
If he could use it in actual combat later, he would be able to bring more criminals to justice and save more lives.
Edogawa Conan thought about the truth behind the above incident that Cheng Xiaoyu told him, or maybe it was that he was forced to take the blame and was forced to work overtime...
Conan Edogawa: "...Well, come on, Mr. Amuro."
Although he really wanted to sincerely suggest that it would be better not to learn this, ordinary people would not be able to stay alive and attract the hatred of so many people without ten lives and the extremely coquettish movement of Ghost.
But you can imagine that Mr. Toru Amuro won't listen at all.
At this point, Cheng Xiaoyu's suspicion value in the eyes of the two red parties, the FBI and the Neon Public Security Bureau, has been cleared to zero, and she can concentrate on dealing with the winery and the zoo.
Back to the present, Toru Amuro is analyzing the recent strange developments within the organization with Conan Edogawa.
Amuro Toru: "Recently, the organization has stopped many activities. Many important bases have been destroyed and important personnel have been assassinated. Recently, there have been rumors within the winery that the organization has recently specially recruited a group of talented people, but it is not clear what kind of talented people they are."
A talented person?
Edogawa Conan remembered that Gojo Satoru said in the group a few days ago that some curse masters ran to illegal organizations to make a living.
It can’t be a curse caster.
If he really is a curser, will Kaito Kidd and Hakuba Tan be in any danger?
[Sweet Party King]: What is there to worry about? Won’t that Ghost guy find a way to go to the scene and control the situation behind the scenes?
[Football Player]: But there may be several people on the opposite side.
[Sweet Party King]: Even if the other team came with a group, they couldn't beat her, okay? Do you have any misunderstandings about her strength?
[Pokémon Master]: Be gentle. Conan is not an insider. It is normal that he does not know the situation in the world of curses. It is even more reasonable that he does not know the cruelty of the ghost.
[Ghost]:?
[Ghost]: Check your conscience. How could I be cruel? I haven't killed many people in this world, okay? And after Conan Kid finished talking to me, I didn't continue killing people. I just became a gardener who produced vegetative people in nature. I am such a kind and gentle demon.
[Sweet Party King]: Are you really not saying this against your conscience?
The curse master who tried to attack the ghost but had his soul torn into pieces and then packaged as souvenirs to other demon lords, the old neon curse world high-ranking official who was beaten into PTSD, and Ryoumen Sukuna who was packaged as soup ingredients... all of them have a lot to say about this definition of "kind and gentle"!
Although she did not have the habit of torturing her enemies, she had the good qualities of being thrifty and never wasting money.
...This very virtue may not be considered a "virtue" to her enemies.
It can be said that if an enemy falls into the hands of the ghost, the best outcome is to die quickly and cleanly on the spot.
Conan Edogawa breathed a sigh of relief knowing that the next action would not put the lives of Kaito Kid and Hakuba Tan in danger. Of course, Toru Amuro would not ignore this change in expression.
Amuro Toru: "Conan-kun, who are you messaging?"
Edogawa Conan answered immediately: "Mr. Akai."
As expected, Amuro Toru's focus immediately shifted from "Who is the person on the other side" to "Why is the FBI meddling in other people's business again?"
Conan Edogawa: "No, no, I was just passing on the information to him."
This can be considered as an unwritten mode of getting along between them. Amuro Toru unilaterally hates Akai Shuichi because of past events and his dislike for the FBI. In addition, due to the sensitivity of his undercover identity, he will not contact Akai Shuichi directly unless necessary.
At this time, Conan will act as a middleman to convey the message to them, and when necessary, he will also act as a mediator to stop their disputes or even fights.
As an intelligence officer, Amuro Toru's questions were not yet answered: "Then why did you sigh just now?"
Conan Edogawa thought quickly: "Of course he sighed. If this is true, then our next action will be even more difficult."
Amuro Toru laughed: "Let the adults worry about this kind of thing."
"Compared to that, can you tell me something about Kaito Kidd that's pretty useless, and let me report back?"
Although Toru Amuro didn't like the thief who provoked him at the beginning, he didn't want him to be killed by a vicious organization like the winery.
Edogawa Conan: "..."
What do you want me to say? How about you tag him in my group and ask him later?
Amuro Toru misunderstood Edogawa Conan's silence: "That's right, you have always regarded that guy as an opponent, so you probably won't pay special attention to this kind of information that poses no threat to him immediately... But I think that guy is quite good at slipping away, so it should be okay if he says a little."
Conan Edogawa: ".......He is very kind, right? He helped Mr. Suzuki save his dog that was locked in a safe. He is also very kind-hearted. He saved me from falling from a height on a motorboat despite exposing his identity."
Amuro Toru: "These two weaknesses are too fatal, Conan. Although you and I will not threaten Kid with innocent lives, the winery will definitely do so."
The quantity and price will also be increased.
Conan Edogawa racked his brains: "Then... does it count if he has ticklish spots?"
Amuro Toru: "This should be possible, but how do you know this?"
Conan Edogawa: "That time on the motorboat, I helped him close the hang glider when we returned to the motorboat."
With a successful case, Edogawa Conan knew how to respond next: "Then the next one is definitely not a real threat - Kaito Kid snores when he sleeps."
Toru Amuro:?
Conan Edogawa: "And his sleeping posture is very bad."
The trip to Singapore not only left a psychological shadow on Kyogoku Makoto by Kaito Kid, but also left a psychological shadow on Edogawa Conan by sleeping in the same room with Kaito Kid.
My roommate snores and kicks the quilt and pillow onto me. There’s no way I can sleep well!
Toru Amuro:......
Amuro Toru's eyes became sharp: "To be honest, I'm more curious about how you knew these two pieces of information."
Conan Edogawa made up a story on the spot: "He used a fake identity before and slept in the same room with me. I only found out later that guy was Kidd's."
He would not tell the police that he was an accomplice of Kaito Kidd in New Zealand. That is not sharing information, that is surrendering!
Amuro Toru looked at Edogawa Conan for a long moment, seemingly reluctantly accepting the explanation. "Can you ask Kaito Kidd out? I feel like you have a good personal relationship with him, and it would save me a lot of effort if I could talk to him directly. I promise I won't resort to violence, and if he assists me, I can even apply for a reduced sentence for him in the future."
Edogawa Conan felt the vibration of the phone in his pocket receiving a new message: "...I have no say in this."
Amuro revealed Ran's expression. He reached across the table and touched Edogawa Conan's head. "It's okay. You just need to help me with the previous paragraph. Like I said, a minor like you shouldn't be involved in such a dangerous thing."
After saying this, Toru Amuro lowered the brim of her baseball cap and left the lounge of Poirot Café.
As soon as Toru Amuro left, Conan Edogawa opened his phone and tagged everyone in the group chat.
[Football Player]: I have a feeling that our group will get one more member.
