Chapter 239 Thirty-three Gachapon

Akajina Yue sat obediently on the sofa, bathing in the solemn gazes of the three people opposite her. Her eyes flickered for a moment, but were quickly pulled back by him, fixing her gaze on Conan, who was squeezed in the middle and looked even smaller.

Conan pretended not to receive his brother's signal of condemnation and turned around to whistle silently.

As for the conversation that took place outside the manor before, Conan knew from the calm reactions of Officers Hagiwara and Matsuda when they returned that they neither saw nor heard anything. However, Mr. Midorikawa was not there at that time, so Conan suspected that the man probably heard the whole thing like him, and maybe even watched it for a while.

However, I don't know if there is some unknown communication channel between them. Within two days after returning to Tokyo, both of them knew the specific details of the scene that the detective had rehearsed with Amuro Toru at that time... What is the situation now?

In the past two days, Officers Matsuda and Hagiwara would come to see Na Yue who seemed to be doing nothing at home almost every day after work. Especially Officer Matsuda, when he came today, he took a special look at Na Yue's empty collar, then twitched his shoulders and smiled in a way that made him ask for a beating: "Why don't you wear a tie? I can give you one, big detective——"

Just as he finished speaking, Officer Hagiwara, who was standing next to Officer Matsuda, blinked his puppy eyes, leaned over and pinched the former's lower back, physically silencing him.

Hagiwara was sure that he was doing this to prevent the detective from planting the reckless Curly-haired creature in the garden in a fit of rage, so he took action to deal with the other party first. It was definitely not because he also felt that Yu Mengran's smile was asking for a beating.

And how dare you do that, Xiao Zhenping? Planting it in the ground is not a metaphor!

When passing by the Criminal Division in the morning, Hagiwara heard a female police officer, with whom he had a good relationship, mention that there was an unlucky burglar yesterday. Since he was really curious about how the robber got into trouble, Hagiwara stopped and listened for a while longer.

The highest-ranking police officer present thought of this and looked at Chijiang Nayue with mixed feelings.

It was said that the robber yesterday had taken a fancy to the Kudo residence, which seemed to be inhabited only by the elderly, the weak and the disabled, and had planned his action plan for several days. However, just as he stepped into the small garden in front of the Kudo residence, he was caught on the spot by the detective who was reading a novel in the sun by the floor-to-ceiling window.

The detective said that he was scared when he saw the intruder, and he had no rope at hand, so he had to plant the robber in the empty land in the garden... The criminal was almost dehydrated when he was taken away.

【…That’s true, but that detective was the one who often raced into the traffic department with you, Officer Hagiwara, right? We didn’t think he would be scared by a robber like that.”

A colleague complained: "After all, that Fūya-kun had jumped off the connecting bridge on a motorcycle in pursuit of a murderer before, and he didn't change his expression at that time. How could it be possible... Ah, but he is the victim this time, so we will just turn a blind eye to it."】

Well, that's about it.

Hagiwara was so shocked by the gossip that he was a little dazed. On the way here, he completely forgot to mention it to Matsuda. It was only when he accidentally glanced at the hole in the garden when he came in and found that it had not been filled that he remembered it again.

So if Xiao Zhenping annoys Na Yuejiang, he can just plant the seeds there without even digging a new hole. Haha, but this is just his wild guess, Xiao Na Yue would never do that.

Hagiwara couldn't help but observe the expression on the detective's face, but found that the detective seemed to be looking at him as well.

...Xiao Nayue, you won't do that, right! ?

Hagiwara, who was very observant, wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and took a few steps forward with a bright smile: "Don't listen to what Xiao Zhenping said, he really did secretly buy several ties that look like you would like! ... But he didn't bring any of them this time."

He naturally picked up the bolo tie on the back of the sofa. It was the same one that the detective had taken off Amuro Toru that day. Hagiwara held the round purple gem and looked at it for a while. For some reason, his expression became very satisfied.

After Conan received everyone's attention, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have expressed his doubts directly.

"Hmm? Ah, because don't you think the color of this gem is more similar to my eyes than to Amuro-kun's eyes?" Hagiwara answered the question with a smile, and confidently moved a little closer to the direction of the reconnaissance. After noticing that the other party did not evade, he continued to the next step.

He lowered his head and helped the detective put on the tie with a focused expression. The gems on the brass base were also firmly fixed to the rope knot with the hidden buttons on the back. At the end, he used the slightly longer rope chain to tie a beautiful knot at the detective's collar.

After doing all this, Hagiwara stepped back a little and admired his masterpiece, not forgetting to give positive feedback: "It really looks good. This color matches the skin tone of Detective-chan very well."

The living room was silent for a few seconds.

The curly-haired police officer put his arm on the young girl's shoulder and said in a difficult tone: "Hagi, there's no need for you to argue with the blond bastard in a place like this..."

Now the person who is hesitant to speak has become Matsuda.

"No, I'm telling the truth." Hagiwara shrugged, without any special reaction to his friend's teasing. His expression seemed extremely sincere, but he deliberately said with a sly smile on his face, "Maybe it's because Detective-chan and I are both rare pool noodles, so we look handsome no matter what we wear."

"I'm going to vomit." Matsuda's mouth twitched, he loosened his hand and took a few steps away in disgust, "You actually started bragging..."

The detective nodded in agreement, his voice sounding cold and indifferent, but he said very seriously: "The color of this gem is not as beautiful as your eyes, but this color does make your skin look whiter."

Because he said it so naturally, Hagiwara gasped and took a full two seconds to calm down, while Matsuda seemed to want to stay away from them even more.

Conan? Conan was already sitting on the sofa, and was in a state of eagerness to try, thinking, "Maybe I can learn this trick."

After a long commotion, they finally sat down on the sofa. Hagiwara cleared his throat and was about to say something, but suddenly Conan seemed to have remembered something and asked the detective, "So did Vermouth contact you again? What about Yue? Who did you see her messaging in the infirmary this morning?"

Chijiang Nayue's expression remained unchanged.

Conan: “…”

Conan showed a sharp look: "Then Brother Yue, the person she sent the message to couldn't be you, right?"

The moon in Chijiang's sight flickered.

As expected, Matsuda and Hagiwara on the opposite side exchanged glances, and their expressions became solemn - they didn't know who Vermode was, but when it came to the infirmary of Teitan Elementary School, there was indeed only the previous doctor Arata.

Since the other party is a member of that organization, it must be no good for him to suddenly approach the detective. As a result, the detective actually came to the door. I don’t know how long they talked in private...

It feels like having a cat at home, and finally finding it back after it gets lost for a while, only to discover that the cat not only doesn't remember you, but also sneaks out every day to chat with the bad guy who kidnapped the cat.

Can you bear it? I can't bear it!

So the scene of the three-court trial at the beginning appeared.

This matter really can't be considered as Chijiang Nayue's problem. Isn't it normal for him to contact Belmode? That's the mother who has been recruited by him to his camp. If he doesn't contact Belmode, who will he contact, Rum?

Well, although he did discuss with Bermode how to find a way to let him meet Rum.

If I have to say, the situation in this world is very similar to the first spiritual world behind it. Now that the boss of the organization has long been dead, how the organization will be destroyed is not a problem that Chijiang Nayue needs to think about, not to mention that his social identity is still in a dead state.

If he is still needed to do something, then organizations like the Public Security Bureau and the FBI are too useless - well, although in Chijiang's eyes, they have always been useless.

At this juncture, all Chijiang Nayue had to do was leak the news of the boss's death, thus exposing Rum's attempt to pretend that the boss was alive and well, and revealing the organization's weakness and laxity. It would have nothing to do with him whether the major intelligence agencies were preparing to launch a general offensive or just wait and see.

Isn’t it true that a vacation in this world is better than a holiday?

The savior gave him a thumbs up in his heart.

As mentioned before, if he wants to resurrect the Akae Nazuki of this world, it would be more convenient and fun for him to exist as Gachapon Brother. However, after all, Gachapon Brother and the experiments aimed at this were all made up by him in a serious manner. If he wants to meet the strict conditions for resurrection, it is far from enough to just let other people recognize his existence.

Things like laboratory data and surveillance videos can be explained as being destroyed after the secret experiment was completed, but as long as Rum and the other party's researchers are captured alive, during the interrogation process, both Toru Amuro and Kagemitsu Morobushi will easily find out that the other party has not conducted any experiments on Kalua at all.

By then, the suspicions of the two elites would be secondary. The first to be affected would be the identity of 'Gachapon Brother Akagi Nazuki', which would most likely be wasted and ruined on the spot.

In order to fully implement the setting of Gachapon Brother, the cooperation of Rum is necessary. However, Rum will not admit that he secretly dispatched people to conduct experiments on Kalua, and it is even more impossible for him to admit that Gachapon Brother was the work of the organization, because these were indeed not done by him.

Why the Gachapon brother came out of the Gachapon is still an unsolved mystery, but it doesn't matter if Rum didn't do these things. Akae Nayue just needs to hypnotize Rum when she sees him, making Rum think that he really did it, and then she can wipe out all the traces very cleanly afterwards.

However, Vermode is also powerless for the time being. Ever since the death of Karasuma Renya, her core position in the organization has declined a little, especially after Rum gradually stopped concealing his ambitions and attempted to swallow up the organization.

To be more precise, she and Rum could be considered enemies with opposite stances, and Vermode really had no way of creating an opportunity for Chijiang Nayue to meet Rum.

——But isn’t there another person here?

Chijiang Nayue suddenly stood up, bent down and pressed the tabletop with a serious face, and suggested to the three people: "In this case, let's go check out the store."

Matsuda Jinpei frowned and put the back of his hand on the detective's forehead. "You don't have a fever. Why are three grown men and a kid going to investigate together?"

The detective smiled gently, "Of course, I accepted Mr. Amuro's invitation and went to the store where he worked part-time."

Matsuda, who was complaining just now, immediately changed sides, put his arm around the detective's shoulders and slipped to his side, and together with the detective, cast serious glances at Conan and Hagiwara.

Conan and Hagiwara chose to surrender.

I'm sorry to Mr. Amuro/Kofuruya, but they also found it very interesting!
