Chapter 2672 2684 [Relationships]
"Maybe we've been bugged?"
Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan looked at each other and suddenly realized: "No wonder when I called the ambulance just now, the other party kept saying that they couldn't hear clearly... Fortunately, I had already added a communication with them, and sent the location directly after hanging up the phone."
Mao Lilan: "I felt the same at first, but then I could hear clearly..." As she was talking, she suddenly realized something and slammed her fist on her palm: "Could it be that the bug was installed on Sonoko?!"
As a high school girl surrounded by countless detectives, Mao Lilan has heard about the side effects of bugs - the radio waves emitted by mobile phones will interfere with the signals of the bugs, so when you are too close to the bug, you will hear noise when making a call.
And now it seems that the source of the interference...
Combined with the two signal fluctuations, everyone's eyes fell on Suzuki Sonoko.
"Huh? Me?...Is this true?" Suzuki Sonoko was stunned and reached into her pocket in disbelief.
She reached in and searched around for a while, and her eyes suddenly widened.
After a moment, in full view of everyone, Suzuki Sonoko slowly took out something like a button with her fingertips.
Suzuki Sonoko: “…”
——She...was actually bugged?!
…
"Let's go."
Listening to the developments in the KTV, on the street outside, Shuichi Akai completely gave up his plan of "tracking down Maya Hashimoto who had completed the mission and finding her lair."
——If he continues like this, not only will he and Judy be called to the Metropolitan Police Department for a tea party like James, let alone arresting people.
Next to her, as someone who had had a lot of remote contact with Uzo, Judy obviously knew this very well.
She acted decisively, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
At the same time, looking at the KTV going away in the rearview mirror and the bug exposed under everyone's noses, she couldn't help but admire Akai Shuichi:
"No wonder you didn't use the model we usually use, but bought a cheap one at random. This way, even if the bug is exposed, the police won't be able to trace us back. I thought James had also seized your funds, but I didn't expect you actually had other plans."
After a pause, she realized something belatedly and muttered in dissatisfaction: "So why did he only deduct my funds? I just accidentally ruined a sports car and accidentally caused his hidden coffee to be confiscated... Well, thrift is a virtue, and I also feel that I have been spending too much recently, so I should balance it out."
Next to him, Shuichi Akai did not respond.
What happened just now allowed him to verify one of his conjectures.
"Sure enough, he is completely different from ordinary organization cadres. On that person's stage, any illegal behavior will be used by him and turned into a weapon to stab himself."
Shuichi Akai thought of the Tokyo police who should have been his allies but were now extremely troublesome, and sighed silently: "It's like a crime textbook in another sense - it doesn't teach people to commit crimes, but it knows the criminals' behavior and the corresponding punishment they will receive, like a master in another sense..."
Judging from this situation, he even suspected that even if he was lucky enough to meet the injured Wuzo one day, he would be detained by the police for running a red light when chasing him, or even surrounded by traffic police. He could only watch the other party walk away leisurely, delaying the best opportunity to capture him.
"They actually used a country's violent apparatus as their own weapon... This is too passive. We must think of a solution."
"Oh, right. We don't need to go too far. We can stop at an intersection as long as we are not surrounded by them." Akai Shuichi came back to his senses, tapped the laptop beside him, and said to Judy, "The bug is still working. This time is not enough for them to track us. We have already been discovered anyway, so we might as well make the most of it until the signal is cut off."
…
In KTV.
Inspector Megure didn't expect that a bad signal on the ordinary communication line would lead to the discovery of a bug.
Next to her, Hashimoto Maya looked at Suzuki Sonoko with a complicated expression:
During the time she was with Suzuki Sonoko, no one should have had the motive or opportunity to put a bug in her pocket - that is to say, the bug had already been hidden on Suzuki Sonoko at the latest when she was watching the magic show.
"It was probably installed by the FBI. Fortunately, I was careful enough and didn't say anything I shouldn't have said around her."
Thinking of this, Hashimoto Maya was so scared that she broke into a cold sweat. At the same time, he looked at Suzuki Sonoko with a look of resentment: someone had installed a bug, but she had no idea... This colleague with poor vigilance almost screwed them all!
"Damn you, this person with connections. If you were a regular member who was so careless, you would have been reincarnated into Teitan Elementary School." Hashimoto Maya muttered to herself, "I have to stay away from her in the future, otherwise I can't guarantee that I won't be implicated by her."
"Having said that, with such a big mistake, this guy must be no less frightened than me."
Thinking of this, Hashimoto Maya looked over quietly with a little schadenfreude and a hint of expectation for her fellow sufferer.
Then he was shocked to find that Suzuki Sonoko not only did not show any fear, but after looking at the bug for a moment, her eyes lit up.
"It's coming for me. Does that mean the stalker is following me too?"
Suzuki Sonoko held the bug in her hand, and felt the excitement of accidentally entering the world of a story and becoming the protagonist:
"When I was a kid, I saw young masters and young ladies being kidnapped in movies, and then someone jumped out to save them. I looked forward to it for a long time, and imagined countless ways of dealing with it. But who knew that none of them would come in handy even after I grew up... Now, someone has finally discovered my charm and is planning to take action against me? Hahahaha! I knew that gold will always shine!"
Hashimoto Maya: “?”
He automatically skipped over this nonsense in his mind and observed Suzuki Sonoko's expression vigilantly and carefully.
After a moment, he was sure: this woman was not pretending to be crazy to relieve stress - she actually had no fear at all, nor was she afraid of the consequences. She only had a trace of happiness and excitement from the bottom of her heart.
"How could this happen?" Hashimoto Maya was unable to understand for a moment, "Could it be... Could it be that she already knew about the existence of the bug, but she has been pretending that nothing happened, intending to let Conan and I slip the secret and catch us?"
For an instant, he seemed to have a vivid image of Suzuki Sonoko whining and complaining to Usa, muttering something like "I just didn't find the bug, but the two of them let it slip."
