Chapter 1494 1502 [Why are the members of the organization opening a store]
The people nearby all looked at Zhuang Tang Weijia at the same time.
Even Mao Lilan had a vague premonition. She whispered to Jiang Xia, "Ms. Zhuangtang is so proactive. She's like a detective."
Conan joined their conversation loudly: "It must be because there is something in that clothing store that Sister Zhuang wants us to see - such as her alibi, just like the menu and cups in this cafe! Haha, usually only the murderer will be so diligent, because if she doesn't guide us, if we miss the evidence she carefully prepared to exonerate us, things will be troublesome for her."
“…”
Zhuang Tang Weijia was walking out of the store when she suddenly heard these words. She tripped on the door frame and almost fell.
She glanced back at Conan, and seeing the other people's "I see!" expressions, she felt a surge of anger mixed with guilt.
But in the end, she could only grit her teeth, forced herself to straighten her expression, and smiled, "Little brother, don't joke like that. I just want to solve this case as soon as possible so that my friend can rest in peace sooner."
Jiang Xia looked at the fresh murderous aura emanating from her: "..."
...If you want to know more about how to suppress murderous intent, you have to watch the original detective stories.
…
In any case, the idea proposed by Zhuang Tang Weijiajia before does make sense, and it is necessary to visit that clothing store.
So soon, the group came to the store under her leadership.
This is a store that sells "Gothic Lolita" style clothing. There are models at the door and black clothes are hung everywhere in the store.
Conan walked into the store and looked around curiously. Suddenly, he found someone sitting behind the counter, who should be the store manager.
As they walked in, the store manager stood up, walked out of the counter, and looked at this group of strange customers with calm eyes.
Conan's eyes swept across the store manager, originally just a casual glance, but suddenly stopped in the middle.
After a moment, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief - the mysterious woman in black who brought him the passport, the new member of the organization that he had been trying to figure out for two days but got nothing, was now sitting in this store so naturally, becoming the owner of a clothing store? !
...What a mess!
For a moment, Conan's eyelids twitched wildly. He felt as if he had been chasing a murderer for a long time but couldn't find him. He turned around suddenly and found that the murderer was actually smiling at him in the mural next to him. It was a strange feeling of dislocation.
Conan: "..." This woman was at the Tokyo airport yesterday, but today she went to England and opened a Gothic Lolita store... What is her purpose? What is the "adult" she mentioned and the stage that person controls? !
His mind was instantly filled with all kinds of exclamation marks and question marks.
Next to him, the woman in black was talking quietly to the police, not looking in his direction, and seemed not to care about him at all.
However, Conan couldn't be as calm as the other party, he inevitably became alert.
At the same time, Conan suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Haibara Ai - this teammate who was given a passport like him must know what the woman in black in front of him represents.
However, when he took a closer look, he discovered that Haibara Ai had already put on a hood and shrunk into the corner, with a very low sense of presence. She looked like she saw nothing, didn't think much about anything, and didn't intend to interfere with anything.
Conan: “…” Damn it, I can’t rely on my teammates at all, I’d better just work hard on my own.
Speaking of which…
He touched his chin and muttered to himself: "..." Behind the female store manager in black, there seemed to be a mysterious person whom she called "that adult".
He had asked Huibara before, and Huibara said she didn't know who that person was. She only told him that anyone who dared to call himself "that adult" in the organization was definitely not an easy person to deal with.
"I heard from Huibara that the man's style of doing things is not consistent with that of a boss in the organization. Instead, he is more like a very patient voyeur, and he pays great attention to the entertainment aspect of things."
Conan recalled the information that Haibara Ai had previously provided him, trying to create a three-dimensional image in his mind.
But after sculpting for a long time, I could only imagine a dark shadow in my mind.
After all, there is too little known information.
"The only thing I can be sure of is that I have never seen such a guy before." Conan thought to himself:
"Come to think of it, the cadres of the organization are not cabbages running around the streets. I am lucky to meet Gin and Vodka. It is impossible that all the cadres have intersections with me. Among them, there are some people I don't know, which is normal.
"Look at it in a positive way. No matter what conspiracy that cadre has, it has little to do with us. In the words of the woman in black, we are probably just a piece of the stage scenery.
"If it were just me, I wouldn't mind going to the center of the stage and mixing in, but now, there are too many innocent people around..."
Conan thought of Ran Mouri, Professor Agasa and Jiang Xia who were nearby, and tried hard to suppress some adventurous thoughts. He decided to use his brain instead of his hands under the nose of the woman in black, pretend to cooperate, and take action later when the opportunity arises.
Conan: “…” But what is the purpose of this group of people?
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but look at Haibara Ai again.
——When it comes to matters involving the Black Organization, this important researcher who defected from the organization is undoubtedly the most reliable source of intelligence for him.
However, the problem is that Huiyuan Ai seems to be too focused on her research and doesn't know much about other things. And she is too timid to tell anyone any information...
When I turned around, I saw that Huibara Ai was like a quiet, autistic mushroom, huddled in the corner, trying hard to stay out of the sight of the woman in black. She could not be relied on at all.
Conan: “…” Alas.
As he sighed, he couldn't help but look up at Jiang Xia - it would be great if he could get Jiang Xia to be his teammate.
But Conan just thought about this idea: if Jiang Xia investigated too quickly and tracked down the organization's lair before everyone had time to react, and then when he was hitting the organization cadre he had caught with a baton, he was killed by other insidious organization snipers, which would be a terrible thing.
It would be better to stay hidden for a while, wait until they have enough self-protection capabilities, or after Jiang Xia has changed his habit of wanting to hit the lawless lunatics, and then tell him the situation tactfully. Otherwise, contacting the organization in advance would only harm him.
Conan: "..." No, wait! He seems to have been noticed by the mysterious "that person". If he tells others about the organization, perhaps they will be forced to be involved in the organization's terrible conspiracy!
