84
"So, you are Asanari Minoru, and those who died are likely the murderers of your father?!"
Under Conan's deliberate guidance, everyone guessed the identity of Aso Shimizu and realized that Aso Keiji's death was definitely not that simple. They were all shocked and shouted:
"Are you here to avenge your father?"
"Let's listen to him first," Inspector Megure frowned and motioned for everyone to be quiet. He didn't think that the man in front of him was the murderer, but he also didn't think that this man came to this island disguised as a man for no reason.
"Yes, I am Aso Minoru, the son of Keiji Aso." The man in the skirt smiled bitterly and slowly told his story, "I did intend to take revenge. The letter of commission that Detective Mori received was sent by me."
"But you gave up for some reason, so you called to cancel the commission." Conan said subconsciously, then realized the surprised looks of others and quickly said in a baby voice: "Uncle Maori must think so.
"I didn't expect that Detective Mori would come in the end," Asano said with a smile in his eyes, "Thank you very much."
"Hahaha, after all, the letter of commission has so many suspicious points. Even if it is cancelled, I, Mouri Kogoro, will come to find out the truth!" Mouri Kogoro laughed twice when he heard this, and then said seriously and uprightly.
Obviously, it’s because Xiaolan won a coupon and there are only ships coming to Moon Shadow Island recently...
Conan's mind was full of complaints, and his eyes became half-moon shapes to express his helplessness.
"Then why do you want to cancel it?" Officer Megure asked sternly.
“But someone stopped me.”
"Someone?!" Obviously this sentence attracted everyone's attention.
"He wrote me a letter," Asami said as he took out the letter and handed it to Inspector Megure, "and gave me a lot of evidence that could expose their drug trafficking."
"Wait, drug trafficking?!" Inspector Megure was shocked, then immediately took the envelope and looked at the information inside. Conan tried to get through it, but because of his height he could only read the signature, and this name was enough to stir up huge waves in his heart.
"Ikaros, why does this name sound so familiar?" Kogoro Mori looked at the name and felt like he had seen it before.
"Oh, right, that time before!" Maori Kogoro clapped his hands suddenly, and said as if he had suddenly realized something, "It also happened in that case before!"
Inspector Megure's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he quickly said, "Brother Maori, please tell me about this in detail..."
After being briefed on the news about Ikaros, Inspector Megure tried to organize his thoughts, then turned around and continued to ask:
“Then why do they still die?”
"Regarding this, the other party sent another letter yesterday." As Asanari Minoru said this, he took out his mobile phone with a line of words written on it.
/Mase-shin, the people you were going to kill are being targeted by an organization. They will die. Don't tell the police. They will find out and target you, and you will die. - Icarus. /
"This is the letter I received this morning. Since he called me by my real name, it must be him." Asanari said with a wry smile, and Inspector Megure, who saw the letter, understood something in an instant.
If you tell the police, you will be discovered and die. Can this sentence be understood as meaning that even if you tell the police secretly, they will find out, and even if you have police protection, you will still die? If this is really the case, it can only mean one thing, that the police have a mole.
"But after all, this has already happened and I can't help but speak out. I trust the police." Masanobu said softly, his eyes full of trust. This made Inspector Megure feel a little guilty. If it really was a high-ranking police officer, then innocent people should not be allowed to die no matter what.
"Brother Kong, did you find out after reading these letters? What is your relationship with Ms. Aso...Mr.?" Conan came up to Noel at some point, tugged at the corner of Noel's coat and asked.
"We are pen pals, I guess." Noel said according to the script he had written in advance: "We met by chance before, and we get along very well."
"So, Brother Kong, you knew from the beginning that Dr. Asai was a man?" Conan realized that the other party knew the whole thing but said nothing, and he couldn't help feeling a little resentful.
"Yes, I also know his revenge plan, so I came here." Noel said lightly. Now that his body has adapted to the situation, he leaned against the wall in the corner casually, fiddling with his mobile phone, and spoke calmly, with a bit of the demeanor of a cold boss.
"So, Brother Kong, did you also want to stop Dr. Asai at the beginning?" Mao Lilan asked with a smile, and in her heart, she had already put a filter on Noel, thinking "although he is a little cold, he is indeed a good person."
"I guess so." Noel answered calmly. Relying on his height, he was sending a message in front of the other party without the little detective seeing him. The content of the message was to get some intelligence from the public security under the identity of Ikaros, so that the other party could use it to protect Ma Shengsheng.
After all, the organization's message should be the highest gift for the public security, and sure enough, the other party quickly sent a text of agreement.
Although Noel doesn't like the police very much, there is one thing he knows: there is probably no traitor in the top echelons of the police force. After all, based on the many attempts by Rei Furuya in the original novel to expose his identity, any undercover agent would have disappeared without a trace.
However, the situation with the Metropolitan Police Department is not that simple. The fact that the organization has used bombs to silence people so many times without finding anything is enough to show that there are many spies. I just don't know how high their positions are.
But soon, he had the answer.
On the ship back to Tokyo, just as Noel was about to get off the ship for dinner, he received a message from his boss.
/Now, let’s go to the annex. /
The efficiency of the insider is really high. Noel knows that in order to prevent the existence of a "suspected insider", Inspector Megure deliberately handed over this incident to the senior management, but now, less than an hour after the other party submitted the report, his own boss sent a message to question him.
After all, the fact that Inspector Megure was able to pass on the news of "suspected involvement of members of a large criminal organization" to the top meant that Grappa went to complete a small mission but ended up exposing the organization. Of course, it was only almost exposed and was quickly suppressed without causing any splash.
However, the boss had sent the message personally, so Grappa, who was "extremely loyal to the boss," had to rush over immediately.
Noel looked at the position below and resisted the urge to forward the message directly to the police. Even though the rules of the world seemed to be less strict now, the opponent might not believe it or be well prepared if he suddenly attacked them. There was a high probability that not only would the boss escape, but he would also be discovered completely.
———
"Grappa." The boss's voice came from the chair. His sophisticated European-style attire and somewhat elegant appearance made people feel very deceptive. However, after knowing that this organization's goal was immortality and had achieved certain results, Noel suspected that the age he showed was not his real age.
"Here." Noel skillfully controlled his emotions and knelt on one knee, pretending to be a puppet who would only obey orders. He lowered his head, revealing his white neck, looking completely submissive.
The boss slowly walked over and inspected the weapon in front of him. His cold gaze made Noel try his best to suppress his uncomfortable instinct and relax himself as much as possible to show his "loyalty."
"How much medicine do you have left?" The question was completely unexpected to Noel. He thought the other party would ask about the task just now.
"17 pills." Noel calculated the remaining amount based on the original dosage and answered without any hesitation. Of course, there was actually half a bottle left at home.
"Now, swallow it all." The boss' tone was neither light nor heavy, as if he was just asking the other person to drink a sip of water instead of taking drugs that would cause all kinds of bad consequences if taken in excess.
Noel was stunned for a moment, and even subconsciously wanted to ask why? His movements hesitated for a moment.
"Are you hesitating?" Behind the gentle tone was an immeasurable threat, which made Noel react instantly:
"It's in my coat."
The boss waved his hand, and someone brought the black jacket that Noel had temporarily changed into after getting off the boat, took out a bottle of medicine from it, and handed it to Noel respectfully.
In the empty hall, a man in a shirt half-knelt in the middle, poured the white capsules into his palm, and then swallowed them one by one.
Noel understood the incongruity. In the eyes of the BOSS, he was a weapon, a tool, and private property. He should not have any doubts or ideas about what the other party did. He just had to obey. Before, he would subconsciously obey, even though he had the memory of Xia Tian in his mind and a weak self. When no one treated him as a human being, how much could he regard himself as a human being?
Is it because I have escaped brainwashing that I am like that, or is it because of the bond with Natsukawa Sora that I am like this?
Noel was excited, even though his consciousness began to blur due to the drugs and his brain felt like it was about to split apart.
Soon, after eating the ninth capsule, he could no longer hold on and fell to the ground. He could no longer feel the existence of his limbs, his vision was so blurry that he could not see anything clearly, and his mouth opened weakly but could not make any sound.
It seems that this time it won't be easy. In the last moment of Noel's coma, he thought of the scar on his wrist.
After all, this pervert in front of him would definitely be angry if his weapon was damaged.
I just wonder how angry he will be if he is backstabbed by someone he thinks is a weapon.
