Chapter 230

After experiencing the bomb threat and a series of covert investigations by the public security, the Beihua Hotel finally resumed normal business. Matsui Naoto, another reborn experimental subject of the organization who had been secretly watched by Nishihara Tadahiko, was finally able to serve as his hotel waiter again.

"Hello, guest. This is the room you booked in advance. Would you like to check in now?" During the lunch break, Naoto Matsui took over the job of the front desk girl skillfully and bared his standard eight teeth to the guests who came to check in.

"Yes... yes, please hurry up."

There was only one guest staying at the hotel, and he was a typical socially anxious otaku, with pale skin, drooping eyes, and he didn't even dare to raise his head to speak when he was doing the paperwork. He held the notebook tightly in his arms, as if he was prepared for someone to snatch it away at any time.

Naoto Matsui quickly processed the room card as requested by the guest, and subconsciously glanced at the notebook that the other party had been holding in his arms. It seemed to be the latest high-end product on the market. In short, it was something that Naoto Matsui could not even dream of with his current salary.

Perhaps he noticed Naoto Matsui's undisguised gaze, the socially anxious guest looked even more nervous, tightened his arms again, stuffed the notebook into his arms, and finally raised his head, looking at Naoto Matsui warily.

However, what was unexpected was that the moment he saw Matsui Naoto's appearance clearly, he seemed to be greatly frightened. He screamed "Ah", took two steps back in panic, and almost tripped over the fluff on the carpet. His face turned pale with fright.

After struggling to hold the computer while keeping balance with one hand, the socially anxious guest finally breathed a sigh of relief as if he had survived a disaster. Then he raised his head again and looked at Matsui Naoto warily, then ran towards the reserved room without looking back.

Naoto Matsui: “…”

This is too much. Even if I am not very good-looking, I shouldn't scare people like this, right? Could this customer be playing a trick on me?

Matsui Naoto had already put away his smile, threw his work badge on the front desk, and sat down in a chair angrily. However, the frightened guest with social anxiety ran to the reserved room in one breath, swiped his card to enter, and then took out his mobile phone and pressed a series of numbers as soon as he confirmed that it was safe.

"Moshi Moshi? Master Gin? Report to Master Gin, I have arrived in Tokyo with the artificial intelligence, and now I have successfully checked into the Beika Hotel..."

"No, no, no, I don't mean to bother you with nonsense. I mean, I actually saw a face at the front desk of this hotel that absolutely cannot appear here..."

"Yes, yes, I dare not waste words. I mean, that face is exactly the same as a face on the list of experimental subjects who escaped from the organization that year. Oh, the address is the Rice Flower Hotel. Yes, I will stay here today. Huh? Let me check out now?"

At the same time, Nishihara Tadahiko was assigned by Morobushi Kagemitsu to track down a researcher who might be carrying artificial intelligence developed by the organization. However, when he found the hotel the other party had booked, he unexpectedly discovered that it was the hotel where the experimental subject Naoto Matsui, who he had been secretly following, worked.

As a police officer, Nishihara Tadahiko subconsciously felt that it was definitely not a good thing for them to meet. He immediately took out his cell phone and called the other party, wanting to remind him to avoid the researcher, and of course it would be best if he could take a leave. However, the phone rang until it hung up automatically, and the phone was not connected.

After putting down his phone, Nishihara Tadahiko's expression became extremely solemn.

Although Matsui usually has a carefree personality, he is extremely sensitive about his own safety and never refuses to answer his own phone calls. But why didn't he answer the phone this time? Did he really have an accident?

Nishihara Tadahiko was well aware of the seriousness of the incident, and he immediately reported the situation to Morobushi Kagemitsu, and then drove to the Beihua Hotel as fast as possible. Of course, Kagano Satoshi also played a very important role in this. However, even so, when Nishihara Tadahiko arrived, Matsui Naoto had already disappeared.

Nishihara Tadahiko immediately retrieved the surveillance data, but the hard drive containing the surveillance data from this period had been accidentally damaged, and he had no way of finding out how Naoto Matsui disappeared and who took him away.

Tadahiko Nishihara had no choice but to use the most old-fashioned method, based on the slight traces left by Naoto Matsui at the time, to investigate and analyze the other party's whereabouts, or the direction the other party chose after being forcibly taken away.

Kagamino Satoshi: Don't worry, Officer Nishihara. I have checked the traffic cameras along the road and the mobile phone cameras of passers-by and found that it was the organization that took action. The car used was also one of the vehicles that the organization often uses, but I can't find out who was responsible for arresting people.

Nishihara Tadahiko: ...I'm more worried now, okay?

Nishihara Tadahiko: Okay, thank you, Xiaozhi. Don't get involved from now on, lest the organization finds out that you are secretly in contact with the police, and then none of us can save you.

Kagino Satoshi snorted twice in dissatisfaction, as if muttering that with his superb level, he would never fail. But in the end, he still obediently stopped his actions and stopped testing the organization's bottom line.

Nishihara Tadahiko severed the mental link, looked at the only set of wheel marks he had found, gritted his teeth, and drove after them. If someone looked into his eyes at this time, they might have discovered that the desperate determination and madness in his eyes were exactly the same as those of Baifu, who was called the "madman" in the organization.

Meanwhile, Toru Amuro, after careful investigation, tries to establish contact with Momotani for the first time. However, when he dials the mobile number given to him by Morobushi Keimitsu, no one answers the call.

Amuro frowned, and a trace of thought flashed across his eyes. After weighing the pros and cons, he called Morobushi Kagemitsu's cell phone.

"Hiro, I tried to contact Baifu according to the method you told me before, but I couldn't get through to him at all."

"Can't get in touch? That shouldn't be the case. Although Baifu has said before that he has to focus on a set of research data in the near future and can't take care of things outside for the time being. But if it's an emergency call, he will never refuse to answer it."

Amuro Toru was stunned when he heard this, and a helpless smile appeared in his eyes. How do Hiro and Baifu get along with each other? He just said hello in advance for future cooperation, but he actually used emergency contact directly? Could it be that his childhood friend has a sinister habit again? Baifu can really tolerate him?

"So it seems like there's nothing we can do for now?"

"No, I think we can ask Xingchuan and Ming, he might know something."

Amuro Toru was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Morobushi Keimitsu would make such a judgment. Could it be that Hoshikawa Kazuaki's influence on Baifu has reached such a level? With a sense of surprise and disbelief, he called Hoshikawa Kazuaki, who had already asked for leave again.

"Moshi Moshi? Brother Amuro? Is there anything going on in the store?"

"Xingchuan, I heard from Miss Azusa that you asked for leave to attend the family banquet of the Kasumura family? How was it? Did you have a smooth journey?"

Hoshikawa and Akira glanced sideways at Maori Kogoro, who was driving with the word "feast" written all over his face and looked excited. Then they looked back at Edogawa Conan, who was still holding Maori Ran in his arms with a sour look on his face. They chuckled and replied:

"We are still on the road. It just so happened that Mr. Maori rented a car, and I am not old enough to drive, so I just took Mr. Maori's car and rushed over."

Amuro Toru was relieved and asked, "Did something happen to Baifu? Why can't I get through to him when I call him?"

Seeing that Amuro Toru mentioned the serious matter, Hoshikawa Kazuaki finally became serious and said in a low voice: "He has temporarily cut off all contact with the outside world due to the experiment. Of course you can't get through. But if you have something urgent to tell him, I can convey it for you."

Amuro Toru hesitated for a moment, but still reminded him seriously: "In that case, I will tell you the same thing. The organization sent Vermode Rice Flower, and it is very likely that it is targeting you. I will no longer contact you in my usual capacity. If you accidentally see me, remember to hide in time."

After hanging up the phone, Xingchuan and Ming kept their expressions unchanged, but they were secretly alert in their hearts. They had expected that the organization would attack them. But if Amuro Toru specifically reminded them to avoid him, could it be that the organization was actually planning to send Bourbon, an acquaintance of theirs, to deal with them personally?
