Chapter 96 Artificial Weapons 32

It's a lie, right?

Conan Edogawa quietly looked at Toru Amuro's expression. He had a polite smile on his face that was just right, not too enthusiastic, but not too distant.

With just a few words, he coaxed the two high school girls into saying goodbye to him in a daze.

Conan Edogawa deliberately said in an innocent tone: "Come to think of it, Mr. Akiyama seems to know the thief Kid."

"Eh? Really?" Suzuki Sonoko reacted the most. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Don't talk nonsense, little brat."

Toru Amuro also stopped.

Conan: "Really?" He deliberately exaggerated and said: "The relationship between the two is definitely not simple! Maybe he will appear with Kid to steal things."

Suzuki Sonoko snorted, "Mr. Kid has always been a loner. You, little brat, don't understand Mr. Kid at all."

"Mr. Amuro, aren't you leaving?" Mao Lilan looked at Amuro Toru who had returned with a puzzled look. The latter smiled slightly, "I'm very curious about how Thief Kid will steal the Elf Forest this time. I think it's better to stay and take a look."

Although he knew that the young detective deliberately lured him to stay and tried to get some information from him, the bait he threw out was indeed hard to refuse.

How is Cherry related to Thief Kid?

"Mr. Amuro..."

While everyone around him was busy, Conan Edogawa quietly approached Toru Amuro.

"Sorry Conan, I suddenly have a headache." The blond young man smiled gently, "I'm afraid I need to take a rest."

He walked into the lounge and closed the door.

It's a completely resistant attitude.

So... that's how it is.

That person is no longer here, right?

Mao Lilan came to find Conan running around, picked him up, and scolded him: "Conan, don't disturb the police from catching Kid."

Conan nodded obediently and asked her: "Sister Lan, if there is a person who has done terrible wrong and bad things, but he is actually very pitiful, and those things are not what he wants to do... He also paid the price of his life for it. Sister Lan, if you are this person's friend, would you be sad about his death? Or would you think that bad people should be punished?"

Mao Lilan thought about it seriously, "If he is still alive, I will try my best to help him so that he can stop doing bad things. If he is dead... I think I will cry for him. Because we are friends after all."

Conan nodded heavily and said loudly: "So if you are sad, you can cry as much as you want."

You are allowed to be sad, too, Mr. Amuro.

Hiding behind the door, Toru Amuro leaned his back against the door and, after a while, he breathed a sigh of relief. When he raised his eyes, his expression became cold and indifferent again.

"Come out."

There was no movement, as if he were talking to himself.

Amuro Toru snorted coldly and used one hand to push all the messy hair back. "Or do you want me to call all the police outside in?"

A young man dressed like a police officer came out of the closet, scratched his head and smiled, "Did you make a mistake? I felt someone was trying to get in, so I was worried that it was Kidd who hid first."

"He has a lot of weird habits," Amuro Toru ignored the other party's sophistry, "For example, he holds three strands of hair and prays, hoping that all kinds of gods will bless him."

He laughed, "Isn't that stupid?"

So this is where the mistake came from, thought the Phantom Thief Kid, because that person had recommended this method to him and he thought it was fun so he tried it.

As long as there is no problem with my disguise, it will be fine.

"From your tone, you are his friend?" The thief Kidd looked at the other person's appearance and suddenly realized, "You are not the little golden prince, are you?"

There was a moment of surprise on Amuro Toru's face. He didn't expect to hear this name from the mouth of the Phantom Thief Kid.

"...He told you about me?"

The thief Kidd put on a serious expression, "I think your friend's outlook on life is very problematic. No, not just his outlook on life, but also his mental and physical state. At that time, I advised him to go to the hospital as soon as possible, but I don't know if he listened to me..."

Amuro Toru lowered his eyes and did not answer.

The thief Kidd glanced at him and vaguely realized something. At that time, under the long wind, the man's red, elf-like beautiful eyes appeared in his mind again.

"If you are the little golden prince, I think I need to tell you what he told me. ... I don't think that guy would tell you himself."

He looked at the blond young man seriously, hoping to convey to him in words the man's past feelings.

"He said his little golden prince loved Tokyo and gave everything he had to protect it, so he would also give everything he had... to protect this place."

"Protect Tokyo."

Amuro Toru was stunned.

Is that why he desperately accepted the mission at the last minute because he thought so? ...What kind of protection is this?

Big fool.

Toru Amuro has long known that he is actually a very arrogant person at heart.

The same was true when he was with Sakura. He arrogantly thought that he was her protector, hid her in a safe house, and arrogantly planned everything for her in the future.

It was his arrogance that killed Cherry.

He thought that since Cherry no longer wanted to commit suicide, he had overcome the restrictions imposed by the organization on this humanoid weapon.

He arrogantly thought he had won again.

Sakura's complexion was not good, but he just thought it was the aftereffect of the experiment. Even the thief Kid knew that he needed to go to the hospital.

But what did I do at that time?

He asked Sakura to wait for him in the safe house. That idiot would listen to whatever he said, just because he made her a bowl of udon noodles at the beginning.

Amuro Toru smiled - he thought he should have smiled.

The one who killed Sakura was not someone else but himself.

…

Akiyama sighed.

Although the Cherry Brandy vest had been torn off for some time, there was still no progress in selling the products.

After several previous failures, Akiyama Kanade is now a little afraid of Bourbon.

He asked Shadow to keep an eye on Bourbon's movements. The organization has been relatively calm recently, and Bourbon is not so busy anymore.

In addition to reporting in at the Poirot Cafe on time, he would also go to the safe house from time to time.

Akiyama Kanade went to see it secretly.

The flower beds outside the safe house are planted with large fields of sunflowers, and when the wind blows, golden waves are created.

Once, he put on a fresh look and went to the Polo Cafe and ordered a cup of coffee, some pasta and some grilled sausage. He was craving for bourbon, as he hadn't had it for a long time.

After eating, he patted his stomach and sighed with satisfaction.

The blond young man came to his table with a tray, smiled and gave him a glass of sour plum juice, saying it could help digestion.

"You and a friend of mine seem to have the same eating habits, even the habit of patting your stomach after eating is exactly the same. Every time I see him eating, I worry about whether he will get a stomachache. So it's best to drink a glass of sour plum juice to help digestion and strengthen the stomach."

In the face of the gentle smile of the blond young man, Akiyama Kanade fled in panic.

Even though I knew there was no way the other person would recognize me, it was still too scary!

He decided to sell the goods quickly and try not to appear in front of Bourbon again. Akiyama Kanade put on the god vest and prepared to show up in front of Higashino Kazuki and make some use of it.

Higashino Kazuki was the guy who fell in love with Matsumoto Tsukio at first sight and unexpectedly remained in love with him. Although it had been so long and he heard that the other party would have regained his vitality after restructuring the family business, he rejected the requests for marriage from various families and insisted that he already had a wife.

Akiyama Kanade was embarrassed. Fortunately, he had no conscience at all and decided to waste it without using it.

Bourbon had met Matsumoto Tsukiko before and knew she was dead. So if he saw her again after her resurrection, he couldn't just be indifferent to her thoughts!

Just when Akiyama Kanade was sharpening his knife, "Shadow" brought news that Bourbon went to the cemetery where Cherry Brandy was buried alone.

After Cherry Brandy's body was sent back to the research institute, it was confirmed that it had lost all research value and was later taken away by Vermouth. Because Akiyama Kanade wanted to recycle the spare body into the warehouse, he paid special attention to the follow-up.

Given Bourbon's relationship with Bermode, it's not surprising that he knew where Cherry Brandy was buried.

After a brief thought, Akiyama Kanade was convinced that this was an opportunity.

Can't let it go.

It was drizzling in the evening. He set out for the cemetery where he was buried.
