Chapter 162 Eighteen Vigilantes

As expected, Furiya Rei's perfect smile began to crack after he saw the group of people on the deck.

A few steps in front of him, Chi Jiang Na Yue, who received the death gaze, remained calm and even introduced themselves to them in a natural tone in front of everyone. She also took the time to turn around and give him a brilliant smile in return.

The fist hanging at Fūya Rei's side clenched involuntarily.

Before agreeing to come here with Akae Nayue, Furuya Rei guessed that there would be a big surprise waiting for him here. Maybe it would be one of Hagiwara and the others, or maybe it would be Gin and the others in the organization. Anyway, the little devil just wanted to see his expression change.

But this is too much!

Fūya Rei felt four powerful gazes that could not be ignored, and he froze for a moment, but quickly adjusted his mentality.

I actually gathered all four of them here...

He now recalled what he had said to the little devil a week ago in order to stay, and suddenly had the thought, 'Could this guy be taking revenge on me?'

If he didn't need to pretend in front of them, Furiya Rei really wanted to grab the little devil and get back into the helicopter together, just as if they had never been here!

However, after they got to know each other a little, Uncle Maori quickly took the initiative to suggest that they stop standing on the deck and continue chatting. Fūya Rei lost the chance to escape and could only follow Akae Nazuki into the cabin.

"I think I need an explanation, what do you think?" The blond policeman deliberately left a little distance behind his friend at the end of the team, and spoke in a low voice that Chijiang Nayue could definitely hear, "Master Nayue?"

Chi Jiang Na Yue turned around and looked him in the eyes sincerely, and said calmly: "It's a coincidence, really a coincidence? I definitely didn't take the initiative to run to the place where they were all."

"...You'd better." Fūya Rei gritted his teeth.

Chijiang Nayue skillfully pretended that she heard nothing.

While they were whispering, the people walking in front couldn't help but look at Furuya Rei from time to time. This time it was not because they were shocked by that face, but because they remembered something else.

The Furuya Rei they knew did not reveal his identity before his death, so it is unlikely that the organization would use that face to test Morobushi Kagemitsu. In this way, the mysterious man who appeared in the Asa case a week ago is likely to be the same person as Amuro Toru.

It's impossible for three Furuya Rei to appear in Tokyo in such a short period of time. Morobushi Kagemitsu has more thoughts on this matter.

As expected, the character setting that Furuya Rei had deliberately performed on the rooftop was completely received by Morobushi Kagemitsu, so now the four of them all knew that the young man who had the same face as their friend had personally denied the identity of Furuya Rei and acted as if he was completely unfamiliar with them.

This automatically ruled out the possibility that he was pretending to be Rei Furuya, so the question now became what the other party's true identity was.

Not to mention that it appeared at such a sensitive time, which made Morofushi Jingguang find no reason not to doubt 'Amuro Toru'.

And once you start to doubt the young butler who calls himself Amuro Toru, you can't ignore the young chairman who has a strong presence beside him.

"Come to think of it, did Brother Chijiang come here because of Mr. Xu's invitation?"

No one noticed that while they were undercurrents, a small detective, relying on his small stature to be easily overlooked, slipped through the crowd and came to Chi Jiang Na Yue's side.

At this time, the child suddenly raised his head and asked, counting on his fingers as he spoke, "Mr. Shishido, Ms. Nana, Mr. Ford, and Mr. Sawaki were all invited by Mr. Asahi."

"Yes." After being reminded, others also remembered this.

Almost everyone present had seen the name of Chijiang Group and this young chairman in recent newspapers and various reports, but not a single one had actually met him.

Ford spoke first: "So, I seem to have seen Mr. Akae at a banquet two days ago. If I remember correctly, Mr. Asahi also attended that banquet."

Before Akae Nazuki and Furuya Rei arrived, Date Kou and Uncle Mori had already briefly explained the case they were investigating to everyone else, so everyone discovered that there were numbers in their names and they could all become the murderer's next target.

Originally, Uncle Maori had guessed whether the second one might refer to Hagiwara Kenji, but now that Akae Nazuki has appeared, they are a little uncertain.

It was purely a coincidence that Hagiwara came here. The murderer was more likely to target people who were originally scheduled to board the ship.

"But there's no 'two' in Mr. Akajiang's name?" Xiaolan asked puzzledly.

The chairman was stunned for a moment, looking a little confused.

He didn't seem to understand what they were saying, but he answered the first question anyway: "No, Asahi Shengyi and I are not familiar with each other, and we didn't make an appointment in advance. It's just that I just happened to receive a boat ticket from a friend yesterday, and I came here because I was bored."

During the conversation, the boy who looked gentle and polite called Mr. Yu Xu by his name, and seemed to be indifferent to him. But then the boy turned to Mao Lilan in a good-tempered manner: "As for the name, although I don't quite understand what you are talking about, but..."

He stretched out his hand and gestured in the air: "If you split the Chinese character for Jiang, there is indeed a 'two' in it, and in my name 'natsuki', the pronunciation of tsu and two is also very similar."

What a coincidence.

Conan thought: It is hard not to suspect that Akae Nazuki was the victim of Spade Two, but they also knew that the other party was also a temporary tourist, and was almost as unexpected as Hagiwara Kenji.

Is it a real coincidence or was it premeditated?

Although he didn't think it was premeditated, after all, who would deliberately send himself to the murderer so that the murderer would change his target and kill him? Chijiang Nayue was a young and successful chairman, so this was even more impossible, right?

But in the end, Conan thought for a moment and still hesitated to rule out the latter possibility.

He raised his head and glanced secretly at the chairman beside him.

From the moment Akae Nayue appeared, Conan inexplicably sensed a sense of familiarity. He recalled for a long time and was sure that he had never seen this chairman before.

The result is that now he is even more puzzled.

When Conan lowered his head to think, he did not notice that the person who confused him was looking him up and down openly.

Chi Jiang Na Yue watched the little detective in this world for a while, and while the police were scattered to look for clues, he could not help but secretly poke his friend's waist with his elbow and whispered, "Did you record it?"

Fūya Rei took a deep breath, covered his waist and quietly moved to the side. He nodded helplessly but very cooperatively: "On the bow tie."

They all have a lot of gadgets on them. When Akae Nazuki first talked to Furiya Ling about this, she confidently stated that this was to prevent various unexpected situations.

Furiya Rei covered his face: Now it seems that it was just to satisfy the little devil's evil taste of recording everyone's dark history.

The chairman withdrew his hand contentedly, and sat down on a sofa not too far from the group of people.

Because of his previous remarks about Asahi Katsuyoshi, Ford and the others over there saw that he had no intention of actively participating, so they were a little hesitant to disturb him - except for Conan, who sat opposite the chairman with a very familiar and cute smile, and Xiaolan, who was sitting next to Conan with a headache on her face.

"Hey, Akagi-ni-san." Conan swung his short legs, his face full of curiosity, "Is the friend who gave you the boat ticket also a friend of Mr. Asahi?"

Hearing this, even the people over there couldn't help but look over. Xiaolan was puzzled: "Why do you ask that?"

"Because I heard Mr. Midorikawa ask the staff, and they said that this cruise ship has not yet started selling tickets to the public, and today it is only receiving Mr. Asahi's group of guests." The little detective explained, "In this case, the friend of Akagi who was able to get the ticket is probably the one that Mr. Asahi originally invited."

Or according to their speculation, the so-called friend is very likely the second victim originally intended by the murderer. In this case, the other party would choose this time to give the chairman a ticket, and the reason behind it is very intriguing.

After hearing this, both of them felt very confused.

Both Furuya Rei and Akae Nazuki knew that this friend was made up by the latter. Even the boat ticket was found by Akae Nazuki on the intruder last night. How could it be related to Asahi Katsuyoshi?

"Oh, you are very smart, kid." The chairman smiled and winked playfully, "Yes, there is no rule that he can't be friends with two people who have a bad relationship at the same time."

Everyone else seemed to agree with this reason, but Conan frowned for some reason, feeling that something was wrong.

In fact, it should be said that nothing is right.

Akae Nazuki leisurely admired the child's thinking. As a bad adult, he did not feel guilty at all when he misled Conan.

He was indeed not familiar with Asahi Katsuyoshi and he vaguely disliked him, but that was because Asahi Katsuyoshi was also a member of the [Parliament].

Half a month before meeting Furuya Rei, Akae Nayue had already discovered that there were many strange things in Uesugi's actions, and thus followed the clues to learn more specific information about the [Parliament] than the data collected by Rum.

It turned out that Uesugi's meeting him was an accident, but the purpose of bringing him to those banquets later was not so simple. Of course, it was not referring to Uesugi's dark thoughts, which Akae Nayue knew a long time ago.

The purpose was that the [Parliament] had been eyeing Akae as soon as he appeared in Tokyo that month as the 'successor of the Akae Group', and those banquets were just to make it easier for them to examine whether this young foreigner was qualified to join them.

——And just a week ago, Uesugi was gloriously brainwashed and controlled by Akae Nazuki, becoming the first nail that the chairman put into the [Parliament]. Even knowing in advance that Yamamoto would come to him to "negotiate a deal" was thanks to the existence of Uesugi.

Well, when Uesugi plays with a little boy, he should be prepared to be played with by the little boy, right?

As for why he and Furuya Rei had come on this journey together since he knew that this was the business of the members of the Council...

Akae Nazuki said confidently: Of course it was to find a way to lure Conan back.

Look, a smart guy who calls himself a detective, and he's also an agile little boy with black hair and blue eyes.

It would be such a pity if I didn't come to be his Robin (assistant)!
