Chapter 71 Apply for Professionals to Play
It was fine before because I was far away and didn't know I was being watched, but now that I know, the gazes of Edogawa Conan and Amuro Toru are too obvious.
Cheng Xiaoyu could only try her best to avoid turning back to meet their secretly observing eyes, causing an awkward scene of silence...
...?
Of course not, she did nothing wrong!
There is no such thing as shame for workers who complain about the exhaustion of working overtime!
Not only did she not avoid it, but as soon as Conan Edogawa and Toru Amuro cast an inquiring look at her, she would immediately turn her gaze to meet theirs, revealing a meaningful smile, which made Conan Edogawa and Toru Amuro avoid her gaze and their heartbeats quicken.
It's the kind of accelerated heartbeat that makes you feel like you're going to die.
Toru Amuro and Conan Edogawa felt a cold sweat on their backs. She had noticed we were observing her. Had she realized our identities? Did she have crucial information? What was her purpose?
Cheng Xiaoyu: Think about it, keep thinking about it! I'm thinking about how I'll be unable to sleep tonight, frantically checking my nonexistent profile. I'm stuck in the same endless overtime hell as me, hahahaha! Overtime is good, overtime is wonderful. Once I start working overtime, I get fired up, lose all my energy, and I lose my mind!
Overtime is boring, and the devil is teasing humans.
Kuroba Kaito had no idea what was going on in Cheng Xiaoyu's mind, but that didn't stop him from watching in amazement: Is this the devil's evil taste? But just thinking about how these two guys appeared calm on the outside but were so panicked inside made me want to laugh. Hahaha, you guys have come to this day too!
Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and Ieiri Naoko shook their heads. "Ah, how unlucky are we to run into this guy who just got told his workload has increased and has food safety issues?" She's been working overtime for a full ten years. I can't imagine how irritated she must be right now. Just wish you all the best.
At this time, Cheng Xiaoyu suddenly took out the mobile phone that Gojo Satoru gave her, which had so many contacts that she could count them on one hand, and said to Gojo Satoru and others, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so I have to leave first. Let's get together again when we have time," and then ran away.
She ran on her own legs, even at normal human speed.
Not long after Cheng Xiaoyu disappeared into the night, Toru Amuro suddenly said, "Oh no, I suddenly remembered that the stove in my apartment is still on! Mr. Mori, I'm sorry to leave you now!" and left the scene shortly after.
Conan Edogawa also said anxiously, "Ah, my skateboard is at Mr. Amuro's place. I want to go and see if my skateboard is okay." As he rushed out, he actually managed to catch up with Toru Amuro with his short legs as a primary school student. The high school girl who came with him was left behind and sighed helplessly, "Conan, really is something."
“…”
Gojo Satoru, Ieiri Shoko, and Geto Suguru watched the devil's lifelike performance of fishing as a human, and they felt very strange.
I don’t know what the ghost is thinking about now.
Ieiri Naoko couldn't help but ask the Maori father and daughter: "Is it really not necessary to chase them?"
Even though Edogawa Conan's mental age is that of a high school student, in a place like Beika-cho where there's a murder every three steps and a murder in a locked room every five steps, it would be very dangerous even for an adult to go out alone after dark.
Maori Kogoro was nonchalant: "That kid often runs around like this, it's impossible to catch him, but don't worry, the kid will always come back on his own."
Mao Lilan was more direct: "Honestly, I'm used to it. Just like when you go out, nine out of ten times you encounter a murder case, it might be a little hard to accept at first, but you'll get used to it slowly."
Ieiri Shoko and Gojo Satoru: "Is this something we can get used to?"
"Anyway, I've gotten used to it," said Geto. "That's why the people of Beika Town love Kaito Kid so much. Every time he appears, the death rate in Beika Town drops significantly for a few days, sometimes even with zero deaths for a whole day. That's why local Beika Town netizens call Kid the 'God of Survival Rate.'"
Kuroba Kaito, aka Kaito Kid: ...
Although he had seen these things on the Internet a long time ago, he still felt embarrassed to hear them said in person.
......
Cheng Xiaoyu spent the entire trip trying to find narrow alleys and other nooks, keeping an eye out for Amuro Toru and Edogawa Conan. Calculating the time and distance, she hid under a railing at the end of the alley, on a sheltered, sparsely populated coastal path, and dialed an unavailable number. When Conan and Amuro Toru arrived nearby, she said, "Satoshi, the plan has changed. The operation is canceled."
!!!
Amuro Toru and Conan, who were about to go out to catch someone, stopped in an emergency and listened attentively to [Umekawa Kuko] talking on the phone: "He was not targeted by the police, but Bourbon... How do I know why he appeared here? Bourbon is not one of my men."
Cheng Xiaoyu: The sutures on Brain Flower's forehead are invisible to ordinary people without cursed power, but you, Li Mei, are now in a living body.
When it comes to finding people, especially those related to the organization, Jiangchuan Conan and the others are professionals!
Since she had previously told the people who were cursed that Conan's plot had not been stopped, then by the same token, she could also tell Conan about the plot of the curse. How could it be considered a spoiler if it was not the development of her own set?
Moreover, this was Beika Town, and these were all people from Conan's world. If the Second High-Dimensional Creature hadn't expressed an opinion, what right did the First High-Dimensional Creature have to object? Oh, yes, the previous theft at the Jujutsu High School had consumed a great deal of the First High-Dimensional Creature's energy, so he probably had no idea what was happening here.
So after that...
High-dimensional creature No. 2, use science for me!
.....
Because of the distance and the fact that [Umekawa Kuko] lowered her voice, they had to listen very carefully to hear even a little of what she said.
Cheng Xiaoyu continued to act, strolling along the path at a pace that allowed the two eavesdroppers to keep up, while handing over work to a nonexistent person. "...Heh, if Bourbon was truly a valued character, his superiors would have known better than to find him something to do right now to prevent him from knowing too much."
Toru Amuro suddenly remembered that Rum and Gin personally supported [Umekawa Kuko] as an ordinary person.
It’s connected, it’s all connected!
This is a really big fish! This [Umekawa Kuko] is indeed a higher-ranking person in the organization!
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro pushed Conan to a darker and more hidden place, ensuring that if he was discovered, Conan could still escape safely and take the information out.
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Coincidence? I saw that Xia Youjie, who I was trying to recruit, ran into him while working in a coffee shop. You told me it was a coincidence, but you might as well say that Bourbon is from the LGBT community like you... How about killing Xia Youjie? You're so bold to bring it up, Li Mei. I'm telling you and your current boss one last time, don't try to get the attention of the people I'm protecting. Otherwise, before noon the next day, your whole family will appear in the meat grinder and turn into organic fish feed. Then I'll stuff the live fish that have eaten the feed into your mouth. Maybe that will make you listen."
It wouldn't be wrong to say that Li Mei is LGBT. He was a man a thousand years ago, but the body he is in now is a woman's.
So how can this not be considered transgender, how can this not be considered LGBT?
"...Boss? Haha, even if Boss wants to punish me afterwards, you and your family will be a thing of the past forever. But will Boss really care? Punishment is meant to deter others from committing the same mistake again, but we are all people who 'don't exist'. If he punishes me, he will only lose another capable person, just because I dealt with a minion who disobeyed my orders? Tell me you're not that naive, Rimei. If you don't need this head, dig it out and throw it away. Don't let it rot under the top of your head."
Even though these two paragraphs are packed with information, and even though they are used to seeing dead people, Toru Amuro and Conan Edogawa frowned at this brutal threat.
This man is a bloodthirsty lunatic!
Amuro Toru felt that he had been targeted by this madman and was afraid that he would soon die in the line of duty. He was just thinking about how to pass on all the useful information he had before he died, when he heard the other party say, "Why do you want to explain this to Rum? I didn't ask you to kill Bourbon."
Amuro Toru: What, there is still a chance for my life to turn around?
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Do you want to check your call logs? When did I ever say I was going to kill Bourbon? Didn't you say 'Bourbon is the cadre who's been highly valued recently' as soon as I said I was targeting him and the plan was suspended? Did I ask that? Are you worried that I can't kill him? Isn't it because he offended your old lover that you can't stand him? Do you think I can stand a guy like you who is as narrow-minded as a needle hole?"
Huh? Who is this Li Mei's ex-lover? When did I offend him?
Toru Amuro tried to recall, but he found helplessly that he had offended too many people in the organization and he couldn't even think of it. In addition, Rimei's "narrow-mindedness" and [Umekawa Kuko's] overly open language art, as well as the context in which [Umekawa Kuko] was confronting Rimei at this time, all expanded the search scope.
Even if we assume that what [Umekawa Kuko] said was serious and not an illogical outburst, and even if we assume that the "old lover" here refers to a romantic relationship, since it was revealed earlier that [Satoshi] is an LGBT, without knowing which LGBT group Satoshi belongs to, they cannot even speculate on the gender of this "old lover".
It seems that [Rime] is really a member of the deep organization, because as far as Amuro Toru knows, there are no LGBT members in the organization... Of course, it is also possible that they have not been found, so I will go back and check again.
Cheng Xiaoyu: "I asked you to investigate why Bourbon appeared in the coffee shop in Beika Town. If he was carrying out the mission here, I would have asked Geto Suguru to find a part-time job to avoid him... Huh? Before, Rum asked him to investigate Maori Kogoro, but after the investigation, he simply stayed there to run the business? ...Which coffee shop treats employees so well? Which one do you choose to work part-time?"
Toru Amuro, the working emperor who worked three jobs: .....At any rate, it's better than an organization that would rather kill its own people than let them go. You murderous guys won't understand.
Toru Amuro and Conan Edogawa squatted behind the cover and saw [Umekawa Kuko] hang up the phone and a pure black car stopped at the end of the path.
A burly man in a black suit, his face obscured by a large black hat, got out of the car and respectfully opened the door for [Umekawa Kuko]. His embarrassed voice sounded somewhat honest: "Boss, we didn't complete our mission this time. Will the higher-ups...?"
"Don't worry." [Umekawa Kuko] sneered. The last words she left before getting on the train made Amuro Toru and Edogawa Conan's blood pressure soar. "The people above are now focused on Nozomi's hunting activities at Shibuya Station. How could they pay attention to us?"
