Chapter 774 The Dog's Disappointment.JPG
Behringer sat upright on the sofa, blinking and waiting quietly as he watched Conan and the others deep in thought.
Conan caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of his eye, took a breath, frowned, and said, "If Bertrand finds out you told us all this, he probably won't let you off the hook, will he?"
His eyes were filled with deep worry.
"?" Behringer tilted his head slightly, revealing a harmless smile. "Well, I really don't know how."
"......"
“But if we’re careful, he won’t find out,” Behringer added, nodding firmly.
"......"
Conan looked at the clear smile on his face, his gaze subtly drifting towards the electronic bracelet on his wrist.
If Bertrand finds out, then we'll have to find a way...
Behringer chuckled and waved his wrist dismissively, saying, "It's alright, it's alright. Although that guy seems scary, he's really just a kid."
Although he seemed nonchalant, Conan couldn't put his mind at ease, though he pretended to be comforted on the surface.
Even though Subaru Okiya didn't know that Behefinger had been 'forced' to wear a control bracelet by Bertrand, he was still able to sense that something was wrong with his keen senses.
Moreover, none of the facts that could be linked to Bertrand is a good thing.
After glancing at the mood value on the panel, Behringer finished his coffee with satisfaction and then left.
As expected, it's the corgi that's easiest to boost your mood.
Subaru Okiya stood at the door watching him walk towards the Chino residence, then returned to the living room and asked Conan what he had discovered, or rather, what he knew.
Conan let out a soft sigh, no longer intending to hide it from him. "Actually, we've known for a long time that Behringer was being controlled by Bertrand."
Upon hearing this, Subaru Okiya paused in his coffee-picking motion, his gentle face, made possible by his disguise, suddenly turning cold.
Noticing his emotions, Conan paused before continuing, "The electronic device on his wrist was used by Bertrand to control him. Bertrand doesn't know what happened while he was being controlled. Last time at the Sunset Mansion, he seemed to know he was being controlled, but he hasn't been aware of it since. It's highly likely that Bertrand did something again."
"As for removing the bracelet, we haven't dared to try it yet, because Bertrand once said that forcibly removing it would cause irreparable damage to Behrfinger."
The deeper he listened, the deeper Subaru Okiya's brows furrowed.
Kawasaki Maru replied indifferently, "We tried hacking the bracelet, but it didn't work."
Subaru Okiya frowned, lost in thought.
Conan looked at him with some surprise and doubt and said, "Mr. Akai, you must have known Behefinger before, right? After all, you once infiltrated the organization."
Subaru Okiya nodded and then shook his head, took a small sip of coffee, his tone calm, yet carrying a hint of reminiscence.
"I did know him a long time ago, but not in the organization. I didn't know he was a member of the organization before or after I went undercover. We met in the United States seven years ago. I was on a mission when he suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Although he was young at the time, he helped us complete the mission."
"Later, when he found out I knew Jeet Kune Do and sniping, he kept pestering me to teach him."
At this point, Subaru Okiya sighed softly, "Then he suddenly disappeared a year later, probably because the organization called him back then."
Conan was stunned.
Bechfenger's network... seems to be even wider than he imagined.
It seems that's indeed the case...
He himself might not be aware of it.
Thinking of this, Conan shook his head, dismissing the idea.
“Next…” He uttered only half a sentence in a low voice, but Subaru Okiya and Maru Kawakita beside him knew what he wanted to say.
They exchanged a glance and nodded to indicate that they understood.
After discussing the matter of Behringer, Subaru Okiya suddenly brought up another matter.
“Kiel sent me a text message with only three letters.” Subaru Okiya said, taking out his phone, opening the text message, and showing it to them. “RUM, rum, which is their code name, rum.”
Conan instantly became serious, while Kawasaki Maru remained calm, taking another sip of coffee.
Subaru Okiya continued, "I only heard this name two or three times when I was still in the organization. It seems like he must be a confidant of their boss."
"A trusted confidant?"
Conan's eyes widened slightly. "His status is higher than Gin's...?"
Subaru Okiya nodded calmly and put his phone away. "That's right, Rum is an even more important figure in the organization than Gin."
"Since Kiel sent you this message, it means Rum is about to take action, right?" Kawasaki Masuru's tone was flat, making it impossible to tell whether he had any doubts.
Subaru Okiya gave a slightly affirmative reply.
"That's quite interesting," Kawasaki Maru said softly.
He glanced at the time, put down his coffee cup, and got up to leave.
......
After a period of time, Behffiner, who had been 'confined' to the Chino residence to recuperate, finally recovered his leg.
After the cast was removed, he couldn't wait to jump around in a circle, jumping more excitedly than a flea.
"You've just recovered, take it easy, okay? What if you fall and end up in the hospital again?" Liu Qingyao, who was following behind him, pouted and helplessly called out to the blue-haired guy who was about to lose himself in running again.
Hearing his voice, Behringer turned around happily, her blue hair and gray cloak swaying in a lively arc. "I know, I know—"
He replied with a smile, his deep purple eyes curving slightly, sparkling with starlight.
Upon seeing Chizuru, he excitedly ran back to his side and eagerly suggested, "Hey, Chizuru-chan, how about we go to the amusement park these next couple of days? I finally have some free time~"
Qianzhu glanced at him, then raised her hand and pinched his chin like she would a dog. "We'll see."
"Oh." Behefinger was disappointed for a second, and the ears that hadn't appeared on his head and the tail on his back drooped down instantly.

In the end, they picked a time and decided to take him out to play then.
When Subaru Okiya received the message from Kir, Tooru Amuro also learned about something else.
He did not report that Shuichi Akai was not dead. After all, at present, although he disliked the FBI, he hoped to eliminate the Black Organization, a huge criminal organization.
