Chapter 212
Neither Morobushi Kagemitsu nor Momotomi can stay out of the organization's sight for too long.
Although they belong to a research group with a relatively small amount of tasks, the organization's control over the researchers in the research group will be more stringent. Fortunately, Morofu Jingguang already had Baifu behind the scenes, and Baifu's own identity was extremely special, which gave them room to act freely.
However, even if there is more leeway, there is an end to it. At a critical moment when this organization is paying more and more attention to Beika Town, they quickly leave after a brief exchange.
Nishihara Tadahiko watched the two people leave, and suddenly turned to look at Hoshikawa Kazuaki, and said meaningfully:
"I know you can use comic books to control the future of many events, but you won't deliberately guide Junya and let him send you into the organization, right?"
Xingchuan Heming had not originally planned to do so, but when Nishihara Tadahiko reminded him, he was suddenly tempted. However, his reason suppressed his crazy idea first, and he smacked his lips with regret, wanting to assure Nishihara Tadahiko:
"Don't worry, Officer Nishihara. I know how much Baifu cares about my safety. I won't do anything that would embarrass him."
Only then did Nishihara Tadahiko nod in relief, but he couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you so much. After all, no one knows us better than you. But I'm really worried."
Xingchuan and Ming know what he is worried about. Baifu is determined to kill the boss, and he is willing to sacrifice himself for this. The only thing that can stop him, besides family affection, is the only obsession of "protecting Sister Yuka's child". However, he is determined to get more likes on the forum, and he is willing to take the risk to go deep into the organization. These are two completely conflicting goals.
If he relies on comic books to achieve his goal, Baifu will have no way to resist. He will probably just fall into the abyss of the organization as originally planned in order to destroy the organization as soon as possible. As an older brother, Nishihara Tadahiko naturally doesn't want to see his younger brother go to that step. But he also understands the helplessness of Hoshikawa and Akira. After all, whether the four vests can really survive in this world depends on the likes that Hoshikawa and Akira win in the forum. The pressure on Hoshikawa and Akira is definitely the greatest among the four people.
Seeing this usually steady and reliable police officer showing such a worried expression, Hoshikawa Kazuaki smiled and patted Nishihara Tadahiko on the shoulder, saying comfortingly:
"Don't worry, Officer Nishihara. The hardest steps are over. Now we just need to figure out how to wrap it up and make a big splash. Are you still worried about the quality of the script I wrote?"
Nishihara Tadahiko thought of his past experiences, and his frown relaxed. He also smiled and replied:
"How could that be? You are the most popular high school mystery cartoonist in the past hundred years. I doubt anyone would doubt you. Since you are sure, I will wait and see."
After exchanging glances with Baifu, Morofu Jingguang pulled out his hood from his collar to cover his face, and quickly disappeared into the night. Baifu had guessed that he would not come out just to deal with Xingchuan and Ming, so he was not surprised. After all, that guy was a special public security undercover who was so hidden that even the organization didn't know about his existence. After suddenly coming into contact with Xingchuan and Ming and Baifu Whiskey, an important member of the organization, it would be strange if he didn't immediately go back to the public security to make arrangements.
Baifu sneered at his back. Even though such a long time had passed, even though he had successfully awakened, even though the three other vests except himself had a good impression of Morobushi Jingguang, and even though he and Morobushi Jingguang had formed an alliance, he still had no good face towards Morobushi Jingguang.
It's not that he really dislikes this guy. On the contrary, in his heart, Baifu actually admires people like Morobushi Jingguang. But when he thinks about how he had to endure the discomfort three years ago and confess himself in front of Morobushi Jingguang in order to gain his trust, in order to save this guy's life, Baifu is furious. Even if he was actually controlled by Xingchuan and Ming's consciousness at that time, it wouldn't work!
It's all the fault of that stupid police officer Morofushi Jingguang!
Baifu couldn't help but roll his eyes in the direction where Morobushi Kagemitsu left, then he pulled up his hood, put on the mask he had worn for many years, and walked towards 2-22, Beika-cho.
I had made an agreement with someone several years ago, and now I should fulfill part of the promise. At the same time, I should also take a look at when I can get my share of the reward.
At Dr. Agasa's house, Haibara Ai is talking on the phone with Conan Edogawa.
"Why are you asking about Baifu again? Didn't I tell you that I don't know as much about that guy as you think? That guy is a well-known lunatic in the organization..."
"But Haibara, you should know about the human experiments that the organization has been conducting, right?" Edogawa Conan said firmly.
Haibara Ai was silent for a moment. She didn't expect that Edogawa Conan would investigate to this extent. Suddenly, she was unsure about what attitude she should show.
Did Conan Edogawa already know that Momotani was one of the experimental subjects? Or did he just think that Momotani was just a science madman who was keen on human experiments? What was his purpose in calling?
However, even if Haibara didn't say anything, her sudden cautious attitude was enough for Conan to infer a lot of things.
"As expected, Baifu did participate in human experiments, and you are one of the insiders." Conan showed a confident smile on his face as if he had seen the truth. "But you have been hiding this fact. I used to think that you didn't want me to delve too deeply into the secrets of the organization, so as not to attract the attention of the organization and bring danger to everyone. But now it seems that you actually have other reasons, right?"
Haibara Ai's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She immediately recalled the time when Baifu asked her for help after meeting her sister. She immediately got angry and said, "Edogawa Conan! Don't try to trick me. That's not something you should be investigating!"
Conan became more certain of his guess, but he didn't dare to really anger Haibara Ai, so he immediately changed the subject:
"I almost ran into him today."
Huiyuan Ai's breathing stagnated, and she asked hurriedly: "What happened? Did you do something dangerous again?"
"Don't be angry, there's really no danger this time." Conan said embarrassedly. "I originally wanted to eavesdrop on Xingchuan, but I accidentally heard Baifu's voice."
Huihara Ai breathed a sigh of relief and was about to give a few more warnings when there was a knock on the door. Thinking that the doctor was working on his new invention in the studio at this time, Huihara Ai had no choice but to say "wait a moment" to the phone and then got up to open the door.
When she looked up, she saw a black shadow wrapped tightly in a mask standing outside the door. However, the fierce yet not dangerous aura from the other person made Haibara Ai feel somewhat familiar.
Huibara Ai stood there in a daze.
Conan on the phone also heard the doorbell. Seeing that Haibara Ai went to open the door in person so late, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"Haibara, it's already night, no one would come to visit at this time. Don't rush to open the door..."
However, Huihara Ai was in no mood to reply. She looked at the familiar guy in front of her with caution, trying to ignore her pounding heart under his gaze, and carefully compared the person in front of her with the figure in her memory.
"Don't be afraid, it's me." The person suddenly spoke.
When Haibara Ai heard this, her eyes lit up. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the person reaching out his hand towards her neck. The white fingers gradually approached in the darkness, like a flash of cold light piercing through the shadows.
Huiyuan Ai panicked uncontrollably, and suddenly a ridiculous idea emerged in her mind:
Is he here to take me back? How is that possible?
However, the hand that was stretched out in front of her changed direction and pulled the phone that Haibara Ai had been holding to her ear out of her hand. She hung up the call in front of Haibara Ai, and then handed it back to Haibara Ai.
"Put it away. I don't like noise."
Huiyuan Ai finally realized that she had been thinking wrong. She quickly took the phone to cover it up and threw it into the room behind her, complaining:
"If you leave the lab so casually, be careful that Gin will give you trouble."
"Tsk. He can't control me. Let's go in and talk. I need you for something."
