Noel looked around vigilantly, and finally fixed his eyes on the door of the infirmary.

The place where Belmode just walked out.

The aura appeared suddenly, and it was obvious that it was intentional for him to detect. If we exclude the possibility that Bermode suddenly turned back, there must be someone who was able to hide his aura all the time and even went unnoticed when Bermode passed by him. This made Noel alert.

It couldn't be Gin, but even if it was Gin, he wouldn't be completely unnoticed with his knowledge of the subject. But if it was really him, hearing what he just said was enough to make him stay here at all costs.

Thinking of this, Noel instinctively tensed his body and reached for his sleeve, where he had hidden the dagger.

The footsteps were approaching, neither slow nor slow, and the attitude was completely relaxed. This arrogant attitude made Noel alert. He stared at the other party with full concentration, ready to rush over the moment the other party showed his figure.

"Are you finally done talking?"

The person in the shadows revealed a face that was familiar to Noel. His blue-purple eyes looked like transparent gems under the light. He walked towards him as usual, without any aggression.

"Xiao Guang?"

Noel shouted in confusion. He really didn't expect that the person outside the door would be Morobushi Kagemitsu.

"I remember you installed a tracker in my phone, but you didn't check it?" Morofu Jingguang also noticed Noel's confusion and teased.

"Xiao Guang, do you think I'm such a pervert?" Noel felt bad when he heard that and couldn't help complaining. His muscles completely relaxed and he walked in front of the other party, squatted down and complained. This overly close distance made him feel at ease.

"And you came here, Xiaoguang, because you were worried about me?"

"After all, you suddenly left in a strange way just now. When I came to look for you, I found that you were talking to Belmode." Zhu Fujingguang explained simply. Obviously, the other party heard everything just now and had no intention of hiding it. "Do you look surprised?"

"Who made you so powerful, Xiao Guang? Just now, Vermouth didn't even notice you when you left. If you hadn't revealed your presence on purpose, I wouldn't have noticed you either."

Moreover, the aura at that moment was also different from Xiaoguang's usual aura. It felt like those desperadoes he had met in the organization, cold and dangerous. This made it impossible for him to connect with Xiaoguang at all.

"Ambush is a compulsory course for snipers." Morobushi Jingguang smiled and explained simply, and it was obvious that his grades in the compulsory course were top-notch.

"Xiao Guang, about Belmode," Noel couldn't help but explain his actions just now, and explained: "I think she can rebel."

"Even if she can't completely stand on our side, she can still get some intelligence from the organization. She probably doesn't like the organization."

"So you told her that you were not brainwashed." Morofu Jingguang couldn't tell his expression, he just asked softly.

Noel nodded. He couldn't explain to the other party that Belmode was the "mother of the protagonist" in the eyes of fans. From the perspective of others, Belmode was just a dangerous senior executive of the organization. It was hard for the red team to believe it...

"Okay," Morobushi Kagemitsu replied, "if that's your judgment."

"Xiaoguang, do you believe it?" Noel's eyes lit up instantly and he couldn't help but ask.

"Don't be so cautious, Noel. Your judgment is often correct." Zhu Fujingguang patted him on the shoulder and said, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive today."

This compliment made Noel's mood visibly better. He rarely recalled the actions he had taken after knowing the plot, and suddenly felt that he seemed to have done quite well. The words of Mai Hongshang also quietly echoed in his mind. They seemed to be saying, thank you.

Maybe I did a good job? This realization made Noel feel like he was hit by a hammer and his thoughts were in a mess for a while.

"But I'm quite surprised that she actually knows your name?" Morobushi Jingguang's words brought Noel back to his senses. The other party's question reminded Noel of Belmode's parting words. After all, the other party had not called him that for a long time.

"The teacher should be the first one to know my name." Noel recalled with a smile on his face, "It was she who brought me back to the organization from Italy."

"Otherwise I would have died on the street."

Although Noel now feels that dying on the street was not a bad thing, for his younger self, Vermouth was another straw besides Uncle Akai. At that time, he also introduced himself seriously:

"My name is Noel."

The early members of the organization should all know this name. Before he got the code name, everyone called him Noel. But too many things happened later, and the fragments of summer memories confused him a lot. In the end, he was tortured into the laboratory. When he came out, others forgot his name out of awe, disgust, or just didn't care. Grappa replaced Noel and became the only name.

"Noel, you are Italian, right?" Noel was stunned by the irrelevant question, but he answered subconsciously:

"I think so. What's wrong?"

"We'll talk about this later," Morofu Jingguang said with a complicated expression, and after a moment, "Anyway, I need you to meet someone."

"who?"

"Outside, he said he'd pick us up."

Noel's brain has already considered countless possibilities. Frankly speaking, Zhu Fu Jingguang is now in a situation where his body has shrunk and is subject to many restrictions. But no matter what happened in the White Alliance or the last time he was drugged, he has a strange... awe of his roommate. He always feels that there is a little danger under the other's gentle smile, which makes Noel, who has always regarded the other as someone who needs protection, feel subtle.

But it won't hurt yourself.

This was all he could think of. It was amazing that as a member of a criminal organization who had been subjected to so much malice since childhood, he had developed such cognition in just four years.

However, when Noel saw a Chevrolet C-1500 waiting at the door, he had a bad feeling. The man in the car became clearer and his iconic black knitted hat and olive green eyes finally broke Noel's good mood.

Could it be that Xiaoguang finally thinks he eats too much and is ready to sell himself?

Although thinking this in his heart, Noel subconsciously blocked Morobushi Jingguang, then stared at the man in front of him and asked dangerously: "How can you be so confident to appear in front of me, Rye?"

"This is a long story. Why don't you ask the person next to you - the guardian?" Akai Shuichi turned to look at Noel, watching his protective movements with a little interest, and said: "Do you have any misunderstandings about the person behind you?"

What misunderstanding? Is this man trying to sow discord? And what he said, does he know something about Xiaoguang?

Even Noel, who had a filter for all the red team members, found it difficult to have a good impression of this FBI because of past events. Whether it was the grudge of being tied up as a co-pilot by the other party, or the other party's abrupt address that time, it made him feel a little...hostile towards this FBI.

Morofu Jingguang, who was blocked by Noel, said helplessly: "He guessed my identity, Noel."

These words made Noel's expression change instantly.

"When you were away, he came to visit Xiachuan's house once, and we had a talk."

Akai Shuichi nodded in affirmation, but this instantly made Noel furious.

"When!" Noel looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang with a gradually horrified expression, and then said in disbelief: "Is it that helper?!"

Morobushi Kagemitsu and Akai Hideichi nodded at the same time, making Noel even more frustrated: "When did you get in touch?!"

"Are you sure you want to talk here, Noel?" Shuichi Akai sat in the car, turned the key, and asked, "Get in."

When the detective woke up, Dr. Agasa finally felt relieved. Haibara Ai next to him was still in disguise and looked a little unhappy.

Although he finally proved to Xiaolan that Kudo Shinichi was not Edogawa Conan, if he had not arrived in time, the detective would have performed a miracle in front of his girlfriend.

"Xiaolan explained it to you as a sudden case, and I'm afraid you explained it in the same way." The girl took off her mask while speaking, and her voice returned to its girlish coldness.

The detective smiled guiltily. This time, he turned back into Kudo Shinichi and returned to the academy, which made him a little addicted.

"By the way, Doctor, help me look into the attempted explosion of the Ferris wheel three years ago."

"What's wrong?" Dr. Agasa asked while searching for information on the computer.

"The bomb in this incident is the same as the bomb in that case."

"But the murderer of the Ferris wheel case should be dead, after all, it caused quite a big commotion." Dr. Agasa said as he pulled up the reports of the incident at that time. Even though three years had passed, the reports were still very detailed, enough to show how much discussion it caused at the time.

"Indeed, this incident was only carried out by a student, but we don't know how he got it. Officer Hagiwara and his team will never leak the information. I need to confirm it again..."

The detective suddenly fell silent and froze in front of the computer.

"What's wrong?" Haibara Ai was about to take off his disguise, and the other party's pause made him ask subconsciously.

"Haibara, do you remember the time when we were discovered by Grappa and his dagger?"

"Remember, what happened?"

"Do you think that dagger is similar to this one?"

Conan moved aside to allow Haibara Ai to see the picture on the computer clearly. It was the dagger that was left at the scene after the bomber was chopped into pieces in the failed Ferris wheel explosion incident three years ago.
