Chapter 2371 2383 [The Breath of Gin]
After being haunted by nightmares caused by an overly concentrated vodka all night, Conan climbed out of bed the next day with dark circles under his eyes.
Conan: “…” This organization is far more terrifying than he thought. The terrifying thing is that there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Without in-depth contact, you have no idea who the most dangerous one is.
He decided to engrave the words "Don't judge a book by its cover" firmly into his DNA from now on, and never be swayed by other people's opinions again, but only rely on his own eyes to judge.
...Although he initially thought that vodka had a similar image...but no matter what, this incident was a good lesson, and he would never fall into the same pit twice!
The elementary school student was deeply touched and secretly clenched his fists and made up his mind.
After dinner, Conan went to school with a heavy heart, thinking about where to use the antidote as he walked.
Suddenly, a car passed by him. Conan looked up and saw a car with an affordable price and a faint bright color in it.
——The driver was a blonde woman, who was the English teacher, Teacher Judy, who had been around them a while ago.
The car flashed by, and Conan was silent for a moment: "..." He didn't expect that after Teacher Judy's car fell into the river and was washed away by the current, she actually changed into such a low-key and simple car.
But compared to this, the guy sitting next to Teacher Judy...
"Why does he look a bit like the kidnapper?" Conan looked suspicious. "He was able to escape easily after being hit by my crane. That guy is definitely not a simple person. Now he is actually mixed up with Teacher Judy... What are these two suspicious people plotting together?"
For a moment, Conan wanted to throw a bug into the car and listen to what they were talking about.
Unfortunately, although the car was of average quality, its speed was not slow. In the blink of an eye, it whizzed past and completely disappeared from Conan's sight.
Conan: “…”
Forget it, I’m almost late, I’d better go to school first.
After all, he is now just a weak and helpless elementary school student. He can no longer use the excuse of "I encountered a murder case on the road, so I helped the police solve the case for a while" to shut the teacher up and be late openly like before... Damn it, the more he thinks about it, the more he misses his high school student body. When can he change back?
…
Among the speeding vehicles.
The two FBI agents did not notice the child passing by quietly; they were focusing on other things at the moment.
"That rotten apple has been acting a little strange lately." Judy unceremoniously called out the code name they gave to Vermouth. "She seems to be particularly concerned about the drama performance of Grade 2 Class B. She even took time off to go out with those kids and traveled to many places."
Judy tapped the steering wheel with her fingertips, thinking seriously: "At first I thought it was because she was aware of our investigation and wanted to take this opportunity to escape our sight... But then I thought, that woman's purpose should not be so simple, there may be other reasons - she is not targeting Jiang Xia, is she trying to use this detective's fame to achieve some unspeakable purpose of her own, or is she targeting the daughter of the Suzuki Group?"
Akai Shuichi flipped through the long list of suspects in his hand and said casually, "Perhaps her target is not these two eye-catching celebrities, but another one."
Judy was startled: "What do you mean?"
Akai Shuichi put down the heavy suspect book, picked up the folder beside him, and pulled out a page: "When I was investigating those people who were suspected of being related to Uzo, I saw this - one of the stops that the bus passed by."
Judy glanced in the rearview mirror and saw the place: Dorobiga Amusement Park.
"I've been here." Judy was a little surprised. "Is there something wrong with this place?"
Akai Shuichi: "Before Jiang Xia, there was another famous high school detective in the class that Vermouth often appears in, which is Class 2-B."
Judy: "Are you talking about Kudo Shinichi? He has a good relationship with Jiang Xia and the others. Those three kids occasionally mention him."
Akai Shuichi looked up at her and said, "In your eyes, what is the current state of this former famous detective?"
"A famous detective is a famous detective. Why do you have to add 'former'? It's as if he's really dead."
Judy felt that Shuichi Akai spoke strangely today, but he was the absolute ace of their FBI team after all, and every word he said might have a deep meaning.
So she had to think about it seriously and answered the question honestly: "Just... a person who is obsessed with solving cases, never comes home, and makes outsiders always think that he has died in the line of duty, but people around him still think he is alive... Schrödinger's famous detective?"
Akai Hideo nodded: "Kudo Shinichi is a relatively high-profile detective. He never refuses interviews and is even happy to discuss case details with reporters. And the frequency of his encounters with murders is also surprisingly high for some reason - in other words, he used to be a detective who frequently appeared in front of the media and had an astonishingly high exposure rate."
Judy: “So…”
Akai Shuichi thought thoughtfully: "So his sudden disappearance is very unusual. If he is really busy with an important case, it is impossible for him to leave no trace at all. In this case, I am afraid it is because he can no longer speak."
Judy was startled. "So, he's really dead?"
Akai Shuichi shook his head again: "From the attitude of the people around him, it's not likely. I think it's more likely that he is in some kind of predicament, so he has been unable to show up and can only secretly contact the people close to him."
Judy nodded repeatedly, but soon remembered something: "Although what you said seems to make sense...but what does this have to do with what we are busy with?"
Akai Shuichi glanced at him and said, "According to records from various channels, Kudo Shinichi's last appearance was in Dorobiga Paradise. I asked Kamal to collect all the information he could find on that day, including intelligence from some reporters who were present at the time, and then he discovered something."
He flipped the document in his hand back two pages, revealing an enlarged photo.
Judy took the steering wheel, glanced back curiously, and quickly looked away: "What's wrong with this car?"
Akai Shuichi pointed at the reflection on the car body and said, "This shadow should be Gin."
Judy: “???”
She reached back twice, grabbed the document and held it in front of her.
After taking a look, Judy silently parked the car on the side of the road.
She lowered her head, frowned, picked up the paper, and began to look for the legendary "shadow of Gin" in that ordinary car.
