Chapter 247 Forty-one Gachapon
The conversation between Akae Nazuki and Amuro Toru took place after she left Conan's sight and before she appeared in Matsuda Jinpei's eyes.
"Detective, I haven't had time to tell you before..."
In the dim exit passage, Chijiang Nayue heard the faint laughter of the person next to her: "This tie really looks good on you."
When they were at Kudo's house, Hagiwara tied the bolo tie that the detective had taken from Toru Amuro on the detective's collar. When they went to the cafe, no one mentioned the tie, either because they forgot about it or didn't care. So the detective has been wearing it until now.
Even when Toru Amuro pointed it out, the detective didn't show any strange expression. Instead, he calmly reached out and touched the artificial gemstone that was similar to the color of the person's eyes, pretending that he didn't hear anything and took the words as an ordinary compliment: "I think it's very suitable, after all, my vision has always been good."
"Yes." Amuro Toru's face was hidden in the shadows, so people couldn't see his expression at the moment. One could only judge from his voice that he was in a bad mood. "Speaking of this, I have some ideas about what the detective said last time, but there will be some trouble in the follow-up... So I think I may need to discuss it carefully with the detective later."
Both of them knew that this referred to the "rum mixed with bourbon" that Akae mentioned before he left last time. Amuro Toru's words were a hint to the detective - the spy that Rum had planted next to Amuro Toru had been found by him, but it was too late, Rum had already set his sights on this place.
Akae Nayue realized that Amuro Toru had probably learned his code name from Rum, but he was not nervous at all. He even raised his lips leisurely as he met Amuro Toru's gaze, but there was no smile in his voice: "Okay, it just so happens that Mr. Amuro and I are in the same search area. Besides, I'm also very curious about what Mr. Amuro wants to ask me."
The two were walking side by side. Toru Amuro's pace was originally faster than the detective's, but in order to keep walking side by side, he deliberately slowed down his pace. At this time, because the detective stopped, he also stopped where he was, turned his head and calmly examined the emotions on the detective's face.
Afterwards, Toru Amuro came to a conclusion: the part of the memory that the detective recovered was probably related to the organization.
His guess was correct.
After leaving Kyoto, Toru Amuro strictly checked the spies around him in private, and at the same time thought about a very important issue in his occasional free time.
Who is the detective?
This is of course not because he still suspects that the detective is not the 'resurrected' Chi Jiang Na Yue, this is referring to what kind of secret identity the detective has.
When he learned that his classmate Akae was the orphan of a public security undercover agent and that he had died in the line of duty like his parents, Toru Amuro, despite his grief, had already calmly considered the issue.
Because his parents were also undercover agents, Chijiang was excluded from the list of people who could go undercover in the organization by the police from the very beginning. So in theory, Chijiang would not know too much information about the organization.
The reason why I say it is theoretically is because Toru Amuro still knows Akae well. With that person's ability, it is impossible for him not to discover the identity of his parents. And with that person's personality, as long as he finds the connection between his parents and the organization, he will definitely not fail to investigate.
This guess was never told to anyone by Toru Amuro, including his superiors and childhood friends.
Perhaps before entering the police academy or even coming into contact with the police, Chijiang had already come into contact with the organization.
Because of this, Chijiang was able to blow up so many research institutes of the organization just half a year after graduation, and destroyed half of the organization with this desperate attitude. Even before his death, he was able to send back a large amount of intelligence, which greatly helped the public security operations.
Back to the present, even though Toru Amuro is still not sure what happened during the seven years that the detective was missing, from the conversation he heard outside the clinic last time, Vermouth had no doubt that these seven years were related to Rum.
Vermode is a mysterious woman. Amuro Toru has had many dealings with her as Bourbon. He has never heard that tone of voice from that woman, nor has he seen that smile on that face. He knew at that time that his friend had such a different meaning in the other person's heart.
In short, Toru Amuro did not think that Bermode was talking nonsense at that time, especially after the detective later used that method to remind him that "Rum is watching you", Toru Amuro was basically certain that Rum was probably the culprit who caused the detective's amnesia.
As the nominal second-in-command of the organization, Rum has gradually stopped hiding his ambition to usurp the throne in recent years. He would not have the leisure to conduct experiments on a policeman who destroyed many of the organization's assets, even if it was to vent his anger, because Rum, who is impatient, would not be willing to waste that time.
On the other hand, if Akjiang Nayue had been associated with the organization from the beginning and Rum knew about it, then this premise would not be appropriate.
Let's not talk about that gentleman. Just talking about Rum, he will never let go of anyone who betrayed the organization, especially when this traitor not only blew up so many laboratories, but also leaked a large amount of the organization's intelligence.
After Rum mentioned in his text message that Akae Nazuki's code name was [Kalua], Toru Amuro's guess was basically confirmed.
——Akajiang Nayue had been a code name member of the organization seven years ago, but he finally chose to betray the organization.
Perhaps because he thought he didn't know how long he would live, he took those crazy targeted actions in a desperate attempt to severely damage the organization before he died.
Afterwards, in the eyes of the public security, Chijiang Nayue did not actually die at the time of his death, but it should have been almost the same, which is why he was taken away by Rum at that time and used as a traitor and became a test subject of the organization.
As an intelligence officer, Toru Amuro knew that the organization would recycle some "discarded" members, and I think that was the case with classmate Akae at that time.
It was also for this reason that Toru Amuro found it ridiculous that Rum's text message stated that the detective "had been missing seven years ago."
Missing? I'm afraid that's how it seems to everyone except Rum. Only Rum knows what he did to the detective. And now not only does he have to act in front of himself, who seems to be unaware of the situation, but he also has to personally send his friend who has escaped from Rum back?
When Toru Amuro realized this, he really felt that if Rum appeared in front of him, he would probably beat that man to death without hesitation.
Even now, of course, he has a lot of questions to ask the detective. He wants to know how much the detective remembers, and whether the detective is now Kaluya or Akae. At the same time, Toru Amuro knows very well that he is in a deadlock.
As Rei Furuya, he doesn't want to be kept in the dark by his friend and wants to get an answer from his friend. He absolutely cannot let his friend return to the organization and suffer harm again. As Bourbon, he must follow the orders of his superiors in this situation, otherwise Rum will doubt his loyalty to the organization.
As an undercover agent, Toru Amuro must first belong to the country before he can belong to his friends.
What's more, he knew very well that Chijiang Nayue was not someone who would be willing to be protected, and she would definitely choose to seize this opportunity to meet Rum.
Emotionally, he couldn't stop the detective; logically, he couldn't stop the detective.
So, the blond man in the passage was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Will we meet again in seven years this time?"
The detective did not express any doubt about this question which seemed to have nothing to do with the previous topic. His facial lines softened a little and he took a few steps forward and hugged Toru Amuro.
Akae was in a very good mood that month, if for no other reason than that Toru Amuro got the script he wrote exactly as he had expected.
The part up to seven years ago was all the real experiences of "Akae-san", and only the latter part was written by him to let Rum take the blame. But there is no doubt that Toru Amuro found these "truths" with his excellent reasoning and observation abilities.
Thanks to his good friend, the progress of the resurrection of this world is only a little bit away. How can he not be happy? However, he also doesn't want to make this stupid golden hair sad.
"How is that possible?" So Akae Nazuki said in a light tone, "I haven't attended Officer Ida's wedding yet."
The hug lasted for a few seconds before the two separated. They did not continue any conversation until they left the haunted house.
When Toru Amuro heard the detective say that he would act with Jinpei Matsuda first, he also received the signal and knew that the other party meant to meet in the alley between the Ferris wheel and the oceanarium.
So it seemed natural that they 'happened' to meet there after the detective left the Ferris wheel.
Rum had placed a spy next to Toru Amuro, so he knew their itinerary first. The two of them took advantage of the situation and performed the scene in front of the spy that Toru Amuro had deliberately missed during the cleaning.
The detective pretended to be knocked unconscious by anesthesia, while Toru Amuro pretended to be dissatisfied with the detective's concealment and came to kidnap the traitor of the organization.
The only loophole in this script, which is so simple that even the lines are improvised, is the physical condition of Akae Nazuki, which is simply not comparable to that of humans. So on the surface, he was stabbed with a needle, but in fact, he took the initiative to cut off the connection between his consciousness and body without Amuro Toru's knowledge, allowing his body to sleep.
Chi Jiang Na Yue was very content to regard his friend as nature's porter, while he was just a poor, ordinary bottle of coffee.
What can go wrong with coffee? Don't you think so, Mr. Rum?

Conan huddled in a corner of the roller coaster, staring anxiously at his cell phone screen.
Before he sent a message to the detective, he had already helped the police catch the murderer here and successfully prevented her from attacking the second person. At the same time, Morobu Kagemitsu, who went to look for the bomb, also brought back good news. There was no bomb on the roller coaster track because the staff stopped the machine and checked it carefully.
Morobushi Kagemitsu finally found the bomb in the control room. The criminals wanted to blow up the control room when the roller coaster turned upside down, forcing the roller coaster to stop and the passengers on it to hang upside down until they died. The structure of the bomb in the control room was so simple that it was incomparable to the one in the haunted house. It looked like a toy made by a novice, so Morobushi Kagemitsu's dismantling process was smooth and seamless.
At the same time, Jinpei Matsuda on the Ferris wheel also began to defuse the bomb, but there was no news from the aquarium, and Conan also did not receive a reply from Nazuki Akae for a long time.
Bad guesses came to his mind, for example, the detective had been attacked by Bourbon, and his anxiety came from this.
However, this anxiety could not be expressed to Morobushi Kagemitsu, because Conan knew very well that since Mr. Midorikawa was a roommate of Amuro Toru and they got along more like equals than superiors, he was likely to be a code member!
But Officer Hagiwara was looking for the bomber and Officer Matsuda was defusing the bomb, and for a moment, Conan couldn't find anyone who could rescue him immediately. After calming down a little, he tried to look for him himself. He asked the Ferris wheel about the time when the detective left. After some reasoning, he almost knew where the detective should be at that time.
He has to go find Brother Yue.
Thinking of this, Conan put away his phone and prepared to go alone.
"Conan-kun, it's very dangerous to run around in the amusement park at this time."
A gentle male voice sounded behind him: "Where are you going? Can I go with you?"
...You are the most dangerous person here, right?!
After hearing that the person was Morobushi Kagemitsu, Conan couldn't help but break down and complain in his heart.
