Chapter 47
No matter what secrets Nishihara Tadahiko has, they have nothing to do with Xingchuan and Ming now, and he will not allow me to explore them at will. But when I become stronger in the future, maybe I can help him. After all, he has taken care of me a lot over the years.
Hoshikawa Kazuaki opened the comic book and drew a comic portrait of Nishihara Tadahiko based on the forum. He wondered if this was plagiarism. But the comic book probably wouldn't mind.
However, when I start serializing the comics in real life with Kogoro Mori, maybe I can use this method to save myself some effort.
To be honest, the quality of the real-time comics in this forum is really good, and the readers who have captured the clips also seem to have given good feedback. For example, Officer Nishihara only appeared in a few shots, but readers already liked him.
[Ahhh, who is this new handsome guy? He is so handsome! ]
[Is he a policeman? He looks serious, but I didn't expect him to be so gentle when he smiles.]
[Look at the flashback picture. Did he teach little Xing Xing how to box when he was little? ]
[Hahaha, I am dying of laughter! When Little Star was little, she was killed by patting her head. Now that she has grown up, she is still killed by patting her head. And it is obvious that she is being coaxed as a child, right? ]
[She clearly didn't want to be picked up, but she agreed after a little coaxing? How could my little Xing Xing be so easy to fool! ]
[Officer Nishihara is very good at persuading people, and his words are so gentle. Is this the charm of a mature man? What should I do? I seem to have fallen in love with him! ]
[The sister upstairs is too late. Officer Nishihara is about to get the marriage certificate with me.]
Hoshikawa and Ming laughed as they watched. They didn't expect Officer Nishihara to be so popular in the forum. He was handsome and had a good personality. They didn't know why he didn't find a girlfriend in real life.
However, when he turned the pages of the comic again and saw Conan's little tricks, he immediately wanted to roll his eyes again.
In the comic, Conan is holding a roll of tape and following Hoshikawa and Akira stealthily, intending to take the opportunity to collect their fingerprints.
The comic also gives a close-up here. Hoshikawa and Ming in the front have just received their repaired cell phones and are charging them, while Conan in the back is touching his chin with a serious look on his face.
The dialogue box above his head also shows Conan's mental activity at this time:
"Is this Xingchuan brother someone else in disguise? Could the person under the mask be the Baifu who is very sensitive to electronic products?"
Xingchuan and Ming were amazed at Conan's imagination. Why does this kid never learn from his mistakes? He was just forced to do his workbook, and now he's making trouble for me again. Did he finish his workbooks and need a few more to relax?
However, thinking of the Baifu that Conan was obsessed with, the image of the hooded vest flashed through Xingchuan and Ming's mind.
To his shame, he still doesn't know the true identity of the Hooded Vest, let alone his code name in the winery.
Well, with such a strong power, he should have a code name, right? Maybe he is the Baifu?
Moreover, according to Conan, Baifu is very sensitive to electronic products...
Hoshikawa and Ming immediately thought of the Hooded Vest's words "Sensing this simple electronic signal...", which sounded like a second-year syndrome, and their worries were instantly gone.
Hmm! Conan was probably right this time. The Baifu he was thinking about might really be me, just in another identity.
Even if I guessed wrong, once I activate the vest, I will kill the real Baifu and take the position myself, and then I will be the one to take the top spot.
Xingchuan and Ming casually pulled a piece of drawing paper and drew a simple sketch according to the image of the hooded vest in their memory. There were not many specific details, but the general image and main features were vividly presented. At first glance, it seemed that one could really feel the coldness and sharpness of the person in the painting.
Hoshikawa Kazuaki smiled with satisfaction: How cool!
Asai Apartment.
Kagamino Satoshi, who has become an outer member of the organization, is now staring at his mobile phone, feeling confused and not knowing what to do.
The cell phone was the one he used exclusively to handle organizational affairs, and it used the SIM card that the blond, dark-skinned Bourbon boss had left for him.
However, the screen shows an email from the organization's codename Rum. The email asks him to steal a company's internal secrets through the Internet, and if successful, implant a virus provided by the organization to completely destroy the other party's database and the entire company.
This task itself is not difficult to complete. Even for a master like Kagino Satoshi, it is simply a waste of talent to assign such a simple task to him.
However, what really made Kagino Satoshi feel embarrassed was that doing such a thing was really beyond his psychological expectations.
Although Kagino Satoshi is a cyber hacker who has always regarded himself as a cyber intelligence dealer, in reality he only appreciates flowers but does not pick leaves on the Internet. He only gathers intelligence but never does anything that directly destroys the other party's data foundation.
Although he is a hacker, he is also a hacker with principles!
However, this time, it's no longer an intelligence war between business rivals that he usually deals with, but a huge transnational criminal organization that wants to commit crimes through his hands!
Satoshi Kagino didn't know what kind of conflicts of interest were involved behind this. He just knew that once he really did this, he would have to say goodbye to his clean past self.
Satoshi Kagino looked at his familiar computer keyboard and for the first time felt that the keys were so heavy that he couldn't press them at all.
What to do?
According to what Boss Bourbon said before, the first mission assigned by the organization is actually a test for newcomers. It is not to see how capable you are, but simply to see whether you can obey the organization's orders and work loyally for the organization.
If you can't even complete the first task, then forget about the future. I guess you'll be cold that night.
Kagino Satoshi tremblingly passed the organization's order to Boss Bourbon intact, and asked in a subtle way whether it was possible to change to a less "intense" assessment task.
Boss Bourbon is such a powerful person and a senior member of the organization. Surely what he says will be more effective than this unknown Rum, right?
Boss Bourbon, it's time to protect your loyal little brother!
However, in the end, he only got a reply of "I know, just do your task honestly", and nothing else.
No more?
How come it's gone?
Is it possible that even Boss Bourbon can't be trusted?
I just received this little brother and you just say you don’t care about it, what kind of daily disposable stuff is this?
Tomokazu Kagino got angry and said, "If you discard it every day, I will discard it every day too!"
Since it's unreliable, I'll find a way myself. Do you think the hacker identity I've been running for many years is a joke? It's just that the End identity was discovered by the organization. I still have other identities to use.
At worst, I can fight myself. I can deal with the organization if I do bad things here, and I can use formal channels to eliminate the evil forces.
Kagino Tomo was full of confidence. He picked up another phone and started contacting the police.
It was early in the morning, and the Polo Cafe had not yet opened, but Hoshikawa and Ming had already dutifully prepared two glasses of fruit juice at the bar. Amuro Toru also brought out two special sandwiches from the kitchen and served them to the only two guests in the cafe, one adult and one child.
"I'm so sorry to bother you to cook so early in the morning."
Tadahiko Nishihara thanked Toru Amuro with some embarrassment and apology.
"Thank you, Amuro-nii!"
Conan seemed much more casual, and it was obvious that he was used to being cared for by adults.
Hoshikawa Kazuaki came over with some juice and placed it in front of the two of them. He also thanked Amuro Toru with an apologetic look on his face:
"Thank you, Brother Amuro. I'm really sorry for today. I originally said that I would go to the kitchen and ask Officer Nishihara to stay for breakfast, but I ended up causing trouble for you."
Amuro Toru smiled and waved his hands repeatedly, telling them not to be polite. Then he looked at Conan:
"Why didn't Conan have breakfast at home today?"
Conan grinned bitterly:
"It's all Uncle Maori. He said he wanted to celebrate the cooperation with Brother Xingchuan last night, and he got drunk and got acute gastroenteritis. Sister Xiaolan had to stay in the hospital to take care of him, so she let me go out alone to have breakfast."
Hoshikawa and Akira looked embarrassed and worried. Tomorrow is Saturday, so will Maori Kogoro stay in the hospital? So he asked directly:
"How seriously ill is Mr. Maori? When will he recover? Can he go out on Saturday?"
"The doctor said it's not serious and he should be well again soon. We should be there on time on Saturday."
Conan answered honestly without any doubt. He had already learned from Maori Kogoro last night that Hoshikawa and Akira had invited their family to visit.
Toru Amuro noticed that Hoshikawa Kazuaki changed the way he addressed Kogoro Mori, and looked at him thoughtfully but said nothing.
Conan asked Nishihara Tadahiko curiously:
"Why does Officer Nishihara also come here to have breakfast?"
"Xingchuan said that he wanted to treat me to breakfast every day as a thank you for picking him up from get off work."
Unlike his slow and leisurely speaking, Nishihara Tadahiko eats very quickly.
Conan looked at Xingchuan and Ming in confusion, and said in a hesitant tone:
"Hey? Brother Xingchuan is so polite?"
He actually wanted to ask if Hoshikawa and Akira really had that much money to treat everyone every day. After all, he knew that Hoshikawa and Akira had to work part-time as soon as their health improved because they didn't have enough living expenses. But then he thought, after all, the other party is a cartoonist, so maybe he will get royalties.
Before Xingchuan and Ming Qianxu could say anything, Nishihara Tadahiko directly exposed his plan:
"I guess he didn't treat me every day just to thank me. He wanted me to be scared away by his enthusiasm so that I could get rid of the embarrassment of being picked up and dropped off at get off work."
He looked at Xingchuan and Ming, narrowed his eyes, and asked with a smile: "So, am I wrong?"
"Uh...haha, how could that be? I've actually wanted to treat you to dinner for a long time."
Xingchuan and Ming touched their noses and tried to brush it off.
Nishihara Tadahiko did not continue to refute, but said with a hint of helplessness:
"You'd better stop being so angry. You have so many police friends. If I leave, there's still Officer Ida. If Ida leaves, Officer Hagiwara will also come. You should behave yourself for a few days and stop thinking about going out alone."
Hoshikawa and Akira were already dipping their toes in embarrassment. But Amuro Toru, who had not left, suddenly said:
"So Hoshikawa knows so many police friends? That's amazing. We've already met Officer Date when he came a few days ago. What about the remaining Officer Hagiwara?"
