Chapter 113
Conan Edogawa even felt like he was about to stop breathing.
It was one thing to have suspected that "Uchiha Sasuke" was also a shrunk adult, and it was another to have it implied in public.
For a moment, Conan Edogawa just wanted to call Haibara Ai and tell them to run away.
At first, Bai Yun didn't expect that Fushiguro Shier could actually see the problem with his body's disharmony at a glance, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved.
He didn't wear the Uchiha Sasuke vest for too long, and in the few times he did, most of the time he just had to remain silent and pretend to be an expert. The last time he didn't mention the sniper rifle was actually a flaw, but Gin didn't think about it that way.
This time, Fushiguro Shigeki already knew that there were all kinds of strange spells in the world. After decades of experience, he had seen everything, so it was not too surprising that he could guess the general idea at once.
At this time, Otsukotsuki Yuta finally caught up. Although he was delayed for a while because he was not adapted to the current situation, after discovering that Bai Yun and the others were fighting against Fushiguro Shinobu, he rushed over without stopping, cutting through thorns and brambles.
Although Fushiguro Nori had been dead for many years when Otsukotsuki Yuta became famous, they both recognized each other at first sight.
As a heavenly cursed being whose body has been strengthened to the extreme, Fushiguro Shirou is no match for ordinary special-grade cursed spirits if he has a suitable weapon. However, he does not gain any advantage when facing sorcerers of the same level.
Since the end of "Infinite Tsukuyomi", Fushiguro Shinji has returned to his old business.
In fact, at the beginning he did think about following his previous plan and trouble Gojo Satoru.
But later he found out that maybe it was Mercury retrograde for Gojo Satoru, so Fushiguro Shigeru secretly followed him for two days and after witnessing him being put in jail seven times in five days, he temporarily gave up the idea.
——The main reason is that Gojo Satoru has been too weird recently. Fushiguro Jyouji is even worried that he will just get his revenge and then be taken away by the police and locked up instead of his opponent.
The resurrected body needs food and shelter. He didn't have much inheritance during his lifetime. The people he knew were either dead or on the verge of changing careers - because cursed spirits are almost everywhere recently, sorcerers have a lot of time to deal with cursers, and work is becoming more and more difficult.
It was not easy for Fushiguro to get the current mission in such a difficult environment, but it was not worth facing a special grade head-on.
However, Fushiguro Shigeki thought about it and realized that he was just an ordinary bodyguard now. His employer, except himself, had no contact with anything in the world of sorcery, and sorcerers rarely interfered in external affairs... So meeting Otsukotsu Yuta here was most likely just an accident.
Thinking of this, Fushiguro Shinji suggested: "Let's just pretend we've never met each other."
Okkotsu shrugged, "I can't make the decision."
Fushiguro raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Yun, who had a blank expression on his face. He weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and then poured the half-drunk high-strength liquor in his hand into the champagne bucket beside him.
"Then we'll have to wait and see."
After Fushiguro left, Conan Edogawa came to his senses and caught Bai Yun who was about to leave: "What is going on? Do you all know each other?"
Conan Edogawa feels that there seem to be a lot more forces around him recently, and the situation is becoming more and more chaotic, as if things are completely out of control.
If everything could be laid out, Bai Yun might pat the other person on the shoulder, and the two of them would take this opportunity to talk to each other from the heart.
But he can't.
So Bai Yun could only gently shake off Edogawa Conan's hand and try to explain in a gentle tone: "You just need to know that we are not your enemies."
Conan Edogawa did not accept this ambiguous statement. He turned his head and looked at Yuta Otsutsukoshi. The other party pondered for a moment under his questioning gaze, and then nodded: "Well, that's about it?"
Edogawa Conan: "..."
He was still trying to ask more questions, but suddenly there was a commotion from the crowd not far away.
Because of the altitude, Bai Yun couldn't see the specific situation over there clearly, but from the crowds that kept gathering there, he could guess that the host of the party had arrived.
Although he had a brief understanding of the information, Bai Yun actually wanted to see what kind of person was the one who went from a poor boy to the president of a listed company in just a few years, so he looked around, trying to find a high point.
Yuta realized that this was an opportunity to show off, and pointed at himself: "Do you want me to hold you?"
Bai Yun was shocked and tried to control his expression: "...No need."
I don’t know if it’s Bai Yun’s illusion, but he always feels that Otkotsu Yuta seems to be treating “Uchiha Sasuke” as his younger brother recently.
Considering Gojo Satoru's previous treatment of "Hatake Kakashi" as an empty-nest elderly, Bai Yun can only say that it is worthy of being passed down from generation to generation.
While this little incident was happening here, the crowd over there relaxed a little.
Bai Yun looked carefully and found that it was Shimizu Tomokazu who stood on the table by himself.
It is said that money can support a person. Shimizu Tomokazu is just in his late thirties, which means he is still in his prime, but he looks older than his actual age. When he smiles, wrinkles accumulate on his face, like the peel of an ugly orange.
All his hair was pulled back with a few silver strands in it. His hair quality was not very good and he looked like he had not been well cared for.
Bai Yun observed the other party quietly, and for a moment he was unsure where the other party spent his money after he became rich.
Before the party started, it looked like Tomokazu Shimizu had drunk quite a bit, and he was not satisfied at all. As he happened to be standing next to a champagne tower, he picked up another glass from the side, made a brief gesture to everyone, and then began his speech.
"I won't say I'm looking forward to your arrival... because it's obvious that I don't recognize you all."
Some people in the audience laughed softly, but many felt embarrassed by it.
In addition to Shimizu Tomokazu's acquaintances, there are also many people who have sneaked in and want to use this platform to promote themselves.
It is normal to want to climb up, but it always makes people feel uncomfortable when it is pulled out and exposed in the open.
Shimizu Tomokazu stood on a high place and could see the changing expressions of everyone in the audience.
He smiled nonchalantly, drank the champagne in one gulp, and threw the glass casually to a deserted place far away: "But this is not the point. The point is that today is a good day."
The cup hit the ground with a crisp shattering sound. Bai Yun looked at Shimizu Tomokazu's expression, which seemed to be amused. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that this guy was probably mentally ill.
The organization was really concerned about Shimizu Tomokazu's affairs before, and even broke into his house many times, but they never found the information they wanted.
In other words, whether it was a USB flash drive or a chip, it was most likely carried by Shimizu Tomokazu.
Bai Yun felt a headache whenever he thought about having to come into close contact with such a person who did not play by the rules.
Shimizu Tomokazu took another glass of champagne and said in closing: "And I hope you all have fun..."
At this moment, Bai Yun suddenly met Shimizu Tomokazu's eyes.
The indifference and arrogance hidden in that person's eyes disappeared in an instant, leaving only sharp scrutiny.
The change in Shimizu Tomokazu's expression was too obvious, even though he covered it up quickly.
But whether it was Otsutsuki Yuta or Edogawa Conan, and even the people in the crowd below him, who should not have been able to see his expression clearly due to the angle, some of them secretly turned their heads and curiously cast ambiguous glances at Bai Yun and the others in the corner.
Shimizu Tomokazu quickly came to his senses and started speaking again as if to draw everyone's attention away from Bai Yun.
Although it was a sudden incident, his words were meaningful and his attitude was even more serious than before.
Bai Yun began to wonder if Shimizu Tomokazu had known someone who looked like Uchiha Sasuke. At this time, Edogawa Conan, who was standing next to him, finished reading the encyclopedia on his phone and said with sudden enlightenment: "Shimizu Tomokazu... I said this name sounded familiar."
Otsukoshi Yuta asked, "What's wrong?"
"The technology exhibition that Dr. Agasa and his team are attending this time has many new technologies, including artificial intelligence, facial recognition, 3D modeling, nanotechnology..."
Conan Edogawa explained: "And most of them, Shimizu Tomokazu participated in the investment, the proportion far exceeds the weight that ordinary businessmen should have for the purpose of making money."
Otkotsu Yuta fell into deep thought: "These are all new technologies... Could it be that the other party is really concerned about the future of the world?"
Conan Edogawa shook his head: "At least Shimizu Tomokazu didn't show this tendency before. The way he got rich was not fair and aboveboard, and he was involved in many scandals. It can be said that he is a person who will do anything to climb up."
"People on the Internet think that Shimizu Tomokazu is a typical businessman, and he only cares about himself."
Therefore, now, Shimizu Tomokazu's loss of composure after seeing "Uchiha Sasuke" has attracted everyone's attention.
Bai Yun himself didn't react much to this.
Although digging into Shimizu Tomokazu's past seems to be a good way to use up the time, there's no need to cause trouble for yourself if it doesn't go in the way of finding information.
At this time, Shimizu Tomokazu's speech was almost over. He bowed to everyone, and then politely declined many people who wanted to talk to him, saying that he was a little dizzy from drinking too much and needed to rest for a while.
Before disappearing from the party, Shimizu Tomokazu took one last look in Bai Yun's direction and muttered to himself, "Sure enough, it's still a little different."
"There really aren't two identical people in this world..."
Fushiguro Shiori, who was beside Shimizu Tomokazu, glanced at him and said nothing.
Even though he was ignored by the bodyguard hired at a high price, Shimizu Tomokazu did not feel dissatisfied at all. He carefully observed everyone in the queue again, and then when he wanted to look at Bai Yun again, he forced himself to turn his head away.
After thinking for two seconds, he took a small disc and stuck it on Fushiguro Shinji's temple as he had originally planned.
Accompanied by a flash of blue light, something covered the man's face.
When the blue light faded, there were only two Shimizu Tomoichi present.
The real one looked up and down at the self played by Fushiguro Shiji and said with some dissatisfaction: "You are too strong."
Shimizu Tomokazu is not short. In terms of height, he can be on par with Fushiguro Shinobu, but his body shape is a little different. Even with the help of high technology and a stiff suit to cover it up, some clues can still be seen.
Fushiguro Shigeki ignored his crazy employer and instead picked up the necklace that the other party had stuffed into his hand. There was a USB flash drive hanging on the place where the pendant should have been.
"What is this?"
Shimizu Tomokazu explained: "Some messy information that a black organization wants very much recently."
Fushiguro Shier raised his eyebrows: "You gave this to me, do you want me to keep it? Aren't you afraid that I will run away with it?"
Shimizu Tomokazu answered the question irrelevantly: "The child just now looked very much like someone I knew when I was a child."
The organization had already planned for him, and the child appeared at an unusually coincidental time. Shimizu Tomokazu immediately suspected that this was a conspiracy against him.
But that's okay.
"For some reasons, I broke the agreement between us and caused some irreversible consequences."
“I don’t want to disappoint him again this time.”
Even though he knew clearly that this was just a psychological comfort.
