Chapter 209

Sitting down calmly again, Morobushi Kagemitsu and Akai Shuichi were both a little confused. They had never thought that it was just a common undercover routine of tracking and discovering the tracking, but it could develop directly into a face-to-face encounter where both of them were exposed.

Of course, the current situation is indeed the choice of the two of them. There is no external force, no misleading from others, it is entirely their own decision based on the situation and their own judgment at the time.

But how did things turn out like this?

Why did things turn out like this?

Zhu Fu Jingguang, three years ago, pretended to be dead and turned from the open to the dark. He began to investigate the organization's internal and its secret but absolutely important core secrets under an assumed name. He is an excellent public security undercover agent who has been very effective so far and has never made any mistakes in concealing his identity in the past three years.

Shuichi Akai, taking advantage of the information gap and the drama directed by the world's darling Death God elementary school student Conan himself, successfully faked his death right under Gin's nose. All this was just to better eliminate the organization's FBI ace undercover. Not only did he deceive the enemy, but he also kept it a secret from his own people.

How could these two people, who were so cautious even in their breathing, get so hot-headed at the same time and rashly expose each other's identities in front of each other just because they saw some familiar traits in an unknown person who was being followed or monitored?

At this time, they were sitting in the spacious and bright living room of Kudo's house, one of them maintained a gentle smile, the other maintained an indifferent face, they looked at each other without saying a word, but in fact they were equally devastated inside.

What on earth was I thinking about just now!

You clearly just wanted to investigate secretly and test the waters at most, so why did you suddenly lose your mind and reveal your identity?

(Duet)

Is it because hiding your identity is too easy and you suddenly feel tired of living? (Duet again)

Conan carefully sat in the seat closest to the sofa, watching the two big men in front of him silently raging in fear. Perhaps it was because of the sudden increase in crisis awareness, the sharp intuition of a small animal forced the detective to suppress his curiosity for the first time.

The atmosphere in the room was so tense that it was almost freezing.

Just when Conan was about to be suffocated by the depressing atmosphere in the room, suddenly a familiar cell phone ringtone broke the weird atmosphere and rescued Conan.

Conan felt relieved and took a few deep breaths. He didn't even have time to look at the screen and answered the phone as quickly as possible.

"Moshi Moshi? Are you home now? Is it safe around you?" It was the voice of Hoshikawa Kazuaki.

Conan was stunned for a moment, and didn't even have time to react. Why did Xingchuan and Ming ask him such a question? He just answered subconsciously:

“Yes, I am at home now and the surroundings are safe.”

If we don't consider that the two big guys in front of us look like they could explode at any time, it should be safe, right?

Hoshikawa Kazuaki's voice was as gentle and calm as usual.

"Okay then. So, what should I call you now?"

Conan's smile froze, and his mind suddenly exploded.

What do you mean by that? Does he really know my true identity? Or is he not sure and is just testing me?

No, I can't let the secret out! I have to stay calm. I'm not the only one here. There are two professional undercover agents who can get a lot of intelligence with just a few clues. If I let the secret out, won't my secret be lost?

Conan immediately focused all his attention and first looked at the phone display. It was indeed Xingchuan and Ming's phone. Then he hurriedly said to the other end of the phone:

"Hahaha, um, Brother Xingchuan, what are you talking about? Of course I am Conan, didn't we just meet? By the way, Brother Xingchuan, do you have anything else to say?"

"Conan? Okay, I understand. In that case, I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, Xingchuan and Ming hung up the phone.

In the tower apartment, Hoshikawa Kazuaki put down his phone, raised his eyebrows at Momotani and Nishizono Tadahiko who were sitting opposite him, and said with a smile:

"It works. With three people exposed at the same time, it won't be long before the Red Team is completely united."

"Then why do you still call him Conan?" Baifu asked puzzledly.

"That's because, of course, we can't scare people away all at once. After all, the story is almost coming to an end. If we don't seize the time to tease him, the little detective will grow up." Xingchuan Heming smiled meaningfully.

Conan put down his phone and let out a long breath. After just a few words, he actually felt like he had survived a disaster. Since Hoshikawa said so, it should mean that he will tacitly accept his identity as Edogawa Conan from now on. Great, at least he won't die so quickly in front of him.

As for what to do in the future, what does Conan Edogawa's coquettishness have to do with Kudo Shinichi?

Conan thought he was so wise.

However, when he raised his head again, facing the puzzled eyes of the two undercover bosses looking at him at the same time, Conan immediately held his breath and suddenly felt that he was probably too happy too early.

"My dear Conan, do you have other things to do? I'm so sorry. I ran into an old friend on the street and was so excited that I came to disturb you. I hope it won't cause any trouble to you guys."

Morobushi Kagemitsu spoke with a sincere look on his face, and like every ordinary young man who suddenly and rashly came to the door, he gave Conan and Akai Shuichi an apologetic smile.

Conan waved his hands awkwardly and said:

"Hahaha, how could that be? Of course not. Oh, by the way, I just came to visit Okiya-nii's house..."

At this time, Shuichi Akai suddenly said:

"Of course I won't cause any trouble. After all, I was the one who dragged you back. By the way, Conan, aren't you going to play games at the doctor's house later? It's getting late now, so you should go home early after you finish playing games."

Conan looked at Akai Shuichi's calm face that belonged to Okiya Subaru, and knew that he was going to talk business, so he started to rush him away. Conan pouted in his heart and wanted to stay, but he knew that these two people would definitely not agree. Because their jobs were too special, he didn't even have the chance to leave a bug.

Knowing that he couldn't win, Conan could only reluctantly climb up from the sofa under the calm gaze of the two people. Unfortunately, no matter how reluctant he was, the two hard-hearted adults had no intention of keeping him.

"Okay, I'll go play games first. Goodbye, Okiya-nii! Goodbye to this older brother whom I don't know!"

In front of Morobushi Kagemitsu, Conan acted like a child, said goodbye politely, pursed his lips, and skipped away.

However, what Conan didn't know was that behind him, Morobushi Kagemitsu was looking at his departing back with a deep, inquiring look, as if he was thinking about something.

As an undercover agent sent by the public security to conduct investigations, Morobushi Jingguang had received various trainings, including training to improve his hearing. It just so happened that he was better at this aspect, so good that before his undercover identity was exposed, when Morobushi Jingguang temporarily teamed up with Rye Whiskey as Scottish, he was praised by his teammate for his amazing hearing.

Because of this, when Conan didn't know it, Morobushi Kagemitsu heard the entire conversation between the two from the slight noise coming out of his phone receiver.

So, the person who called Conan was Hoshikawa Kazuaki, right? Why did he ask how to address Conan? Did he suddenly discover that Conan actually has other names? And he discovered it at this special time today?
