The atmosphere gradually became somewhat heavy...
From the moment Oogami Keiharu appeared until he revealed the reason why he had always been masked, Conan had practically broken the brake pads but still didn't expect Ran to ask that question.
Hiding his identity... Does Ran already know that he is Shinichi?
Turning his head, Conan looked at Oogami Keishin with a complicated expression.
He now wants to hear the answer from the great master Jing Qing.
After a moment of silence, Oogami Jingqing raised his head, glanced at the ring where the match was taking place, and then at the people cheering for the contestants. He explained, "As I just said, my identity is a secret that only professional wrestlers in the capital can know. Since I've taken this job, I have to abide by this agreement."
"Then why did you tell us?" Guangyou muttered to himself, "What happened to keeping your promise?"
His complaints were naturally unheard by others. Da Shen Jing Qing leaned back in his chair and continued, "Besides, I don't want her to keep worrying about me. Every match of the Wolf Mask Warriors is broadcast live on TV during prime time. In a match, it's inevitable to get injured all over. Getting bleeding is commonplace... So, the only way for me to reveal my identity is if I lose."
As she spoke, the great god Jing Qing stood up slightly, took a deep breath, and said with a serious expression, "When my identity is exposed, that will be the time when the Wolf-Faced Warrior dies in the arena."
Conan leaned back in his chair, head down, his expression slightly somber.
That's what he thought too.
"Don't overthink it," Guangyou comforted him. "You'll recover eventually."
"I know." Conan nodded slowly.
Recovery is inevitable. As long as artificial intelligence is real, recovery is just around the corner. However, it's a long-term solution that can't address the immediate problem, and things are still quite difficult for us right now.
Seeing that he still looked preoccupied, Guangyou knew that his attempts to comfort him had not been effective, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
He actually wanted to tell Conan, "Don't think too much about it. Your task today is to deliver the chocolates," but with Ai Haibara present, he couldn't mention the gift.
Otherwise, the sense of surprise will be lost.
"Then why did you tell us your identity, Mr. Great God?" Uncle Mori asked the question that Kousuke had just complained about. "We're not professional wrestlers from the capital."
"Well, that's because my girlfriend is a huge fan of your mystery novels, Mr. Mori." Oogami Keishin suddenly pulled out an autographed plaque from below, saying somewhat shyly, "I figured if I didn't reveal my identity, I probably wouldn't have been able to get your autograph for her, so..."
Actually, Kōyū wanted to tell Kōkyō that it was easy to get Uncle Mori's autograph; there was no need to reveal his identity at all.
All you need to do is tell Uncle Mori, "My girlfriend is a huge fan of your mystery novels, Mr. Mori, and I'd like to get her autograph."
It is possible to obtain 99.999% of the required amount.
"Fans? Autographs?" Uncle Mori's lips curled up wildly at first, but the next second he realized he had to maintain his superior demeanor, so he coughed lightly, forcibly suppressing the smile on his lips, and put on a calm expression as he reached out and took the autograph board and pen. "It's just an autograph, it's not worth much."
After quickly signing his name on the autograph board, Uncle Mori returned the pen and autograph board to Oogami Keishin, and then asked, "In that case, Mr. Oogami, couldn't you have asked me for it when you were wearing the mask earlier?"
“That’s true, but the Wolf-Faced Warrior’s character is Mexican.” Oogami Jingqing happily put away the autograph board and explained, “Without a translator, I, a ‘Mexican,’ can’t communicate with Japanese people. If I asked you for an autograph and then gave it to a Japanese woman, it would definitely arouse suspicion from the audience.”
At this moment, a man with a band-aid on his face leaned close to Da Shen Jing Qing's ear and said, "Mr. Da Shen, it's time to get ready."
“Okay, I’ll go right away.” Oogami Keishin nodded, stood up and said to the others, “Mr. Mori, I have to go prepare for the match now, so I’ll be leaving now. I hope you can enjoy the upcoming match.”
"Then I wish you continued winning streak."
Thank you, I will do my best.
After saying goodbye to Oogami Keiharu, Uncle Mori turned back to continue watching the game, while Conan glanced in the direction Oogami Keiharu had left and muttered, "Is the moment your identity is exposed the moment you die... Hmph."
...
A few minutes later, the battle on the stage came to an end. The captain, surnamed Kiba, took advantage of the situation and knocked his opponent to the ground, rendering him unable to move.
"bite!!"
As the victory bell rang, Kiba raised his hand to signal to the audience, basking in the applause of the victor.
Uncle Mori was caught up in the enthusiastic atmosphere and couldn't help but stand up and wave his arms: "The captain of the Beijing professional wrestling team is really something else, his fight was truly spectacular!"
"The Wolf-Faced Warriors are about to make their appearance." Xiao Lan's previous worried expression vanished as she opened the brochure and said, "I wonder if the Wolf-Faced Warriors can continue their winning streak."
"Sister Xiaolan, I need to go to the restroom." Guangyou wanted to take care of this during the short break after the match and make a phone call while he was at it. "I'll be back before the match starts."
"Then hurry up and go," Xiaolan said. "There are a lot of people here, Guangyou, be careful."
"knew."
After saying that, Guangyou got up from his chair and walked towards the entrance.
...
"Why did you follow me?" Kōyū hadn't gone far from the arena when he noticed Conan had followed him, so he asked, "Are you going to the restroom too?"
