Chapter 249 Forty-three Gachapon

When Toru Amuro brought the unconscious detective to the designated location, the people sent by Rum were already waiting there. Originally, Toru Amuro did not intend to hand over the detective directly, so he tested the other party a little. The best outcome would be if he could follow the detective.

...Obviously, judging from his appearance at the roller coaster with a bad look on his face, that was not the case in the end.

Even if he said, "I want to see this traitor delivered to Rum with my own eyes, is that okay?", Rum's subordinates would only give him a perfunctory response, completely refusing him to go with them, and emphasizing that this was a special request from Lord Rum, and that they did not want any factors that might allow Kaluya to escape to appear around Kaluya.

This was a blatant questioning. Rum made it clear that he was suspicious of Bourbon, but Bourbon was really an undercover agent. In order to dispel his suspicion as much as possible, he would never conflict with Rum at this time. In the end, he could only watch Rum's men take the detective away.

Toru Amuro did not place any positioning devices on the detective in advance. He knew that a cautious guy like Rum would carefully search the detective's personal belongings. If a positioning or eavesdropping device was found on the detective, Rum would most likely be angry with him.

This is also why Conan looked so gloomy when he met Toru Amuro.

——These emotions were half true, and the other half were deliberately made for Rum's spies who had not yet withdrawn. After all, Bourbon was a hot figure in the organization in recent years, especially someone Rum valued. Just relying on his ability, Amuro Toru was qualified to show some respect to Rum when he was clearly suspected.

This would also help Rum to alleviate some of his suspicions about him.

Of course, it is impossible for Toru Amuro to really do nothing. He has said before that he contacted the Public Security Bureau's subordinates in advance to ambush nearby, so as soon as Rum's men left, the Public Security Bureau followed them, locked onto the opponent's car and followed them all the way.

It would be best if we could find Rum's location in the end. If not, at least we know where to go to support the detective.

In addition, for safety reasons, Toru Amuro also sent a copy of the information that the detective was taken away by Rum to Bermode. Considering how much Bermode values ​​the detective, it is believed that the woman will not sit idly by.

After making multiple preparations, Toru Amuro will appear on the roller coaster venue.

Conan, who is still kept in the dark by the two undercover agents in front of him, naturally has no idea what is going on behind the scenes. He is still arranging the follow-up plan based on the existing clues.

Conan guessed that Toru Amuro actually didn't know the communication function on the badge. After all, he had never seen the children use it. In this case, the detective badge might become one of his channels to obtain intelligence.

Very good, then——

While recalling the pocket where Toru Amuro had just put the badge, Conan looked down at his feet and exclaimed, "My shoelaces are untied..."

The low altitude has its advantages. At least when the two adults tried to communicate with their eye contact, they could not see the little Conan's movements, and naturally they did not notice that Conan had just secretly stepped on the knot of his shoelaces, and only then did he look down.

The young detective broke out in a cold sweat as he was being watched, but he pretended that he hadn't noticed anything and had no intention of exposing Amuro Toru's lie. He just squatted down and hurriedly tied his shoelaces.

The child's fingers were nimble enough, but the shoelaces were too long, so Conan, with his short fingers, took a while to tie the knot. Perhaps because he had been squatting for too long, his legs were a little numb when he stood up, and his feet were unsteady, and he fell forward in panic onto Toru Amuro's legs.

"Ah!" He cried out in surprise, and subconsciously stretched out his hands to pull at the adult who caught him, panting in panic like a real child, "It was a close call, I almost fell down... Thank you, Amuro-nii!"

Toru Amuro immediately pressed down on Conan's shoulders to prevent him from falling to the ground. His reaction and actions were extremely fast. At this time, he lowered his head helplessly: "Be careful, Conan-kun."

As if he hadn't noticed anything, Amuro Toru smiled gently and said, "After all, it would be troublesome for Conan-kun to be alone without his brother."

The little shoulder that was being held down shook for some reason.

"Yes--" Conan answered obediently, then hurriedly stood up while pressing the other person's pocket and thanked him again, "Thank you, Amuro-san, I will be careful."

Hehe, if nothing unexpected happens in this amusement park, you two are the most dangerous people right now, right? I'd better stay away from you guys.

Conan looked dead inside.

Just now he was actually trying to turn on the communication function of the detective badge through the fabric of his coat. Because Toru Amuro moved too quickly, Conan only had time to touch it, so he didn't know whether he succeeded or not.

But even if he didn't succeed, there was nothing he could do. He only had this one chance. Bourbon and Mr. Midorikawa were both very vigilant. It would be fine if he fell like this for the first time, but if he did it again, his intention would definitely be discovered... and that would be a disaster.

After suppressing his inner thoughts, the black-haired, blue-eyed little boy raised his head, tugged on Morobushi Kagemitsu's clothes with a well-behaved and sensible look on his face, and mentioned what the other party had said before: "Brother Midorikawa, can I go to the nearby area to look for Officer Hagiwara by myself? I want to go with Officer Hagiwara to look for my brother...!"

He was like an ordinary smart kid who realized that the two people had something to say in private, so he took the initiative to leave out of consideration.

Morofushi Kagemitsu bent down with his hands on his legs and looked at Conan. Although his expression seemed to be worried about the missing detective mentioned by Amuro Toru, Conan could not see any real emotion in his eyes.

Morobushi Kagemitsu shook his head and said kindly, "No, Conan-kun, Officer Hagiwara is on duty. It will be dangerous if you run around alone."

"I won't run around, I'll just go to the door to find Officer Hagiwara!" Conan said pitifully to the adult in front of him who had the same color scheme as him, making full use of his appearance and the little tricks the detective taught him, blinking his eyes, "And since the aquarium has also started to defuse the bomb, Officer Hagiwara should have finished it, right? There will be no danger."

For some reason, Toru Amuro, who had been watching the children's performance with his arms folded, suddenly echoed Conan's words: "That's right, when I came in, I saw that Officer Hagiwara's performance had already ended, and I told him that the detective was missing. Conan-kun can see him as long as he leaves the roller coaster venue."

Zhu Fu Jingguang uttered an "ah" and stood up straight.

"That can't be helped." He rubbed his forehead helplessly, "Go ahead, Conan-kun, and be careful. Also, Amuro and I will go to other places to look for the detective, and we will contact you if we have any clues."

I don't think we'll be in touch.

The three people present were all fully aware of the lie in this statement, and even their inner complaints were highly consistent.

—

This is a dungeon in an important organization base in Tokyo.

This information was the first thing that popped into Chijiang Nanyue's mind after he woke up. Although the layout was basically the same, coincidentally, he had been here several times in the main world, so he just happened to recognize which base he was currently in.

Well, there was no use in recognizing him for now. After all, he couldn't send a message to Zero directly now.

Akae Nazuki has currently obtained all of Kalua's memories until graduation from the police academy, with the only thing missing being the part about his defection after graduation. However, his premonition tells him that those memories will be 'restored' soon.

Because he guessed the reason why Rum insisted Bourbon bring him here.

It was true that he was deliberately disrespectful to the other party just now, but he did not lie. Chi Jiang Na Yue saw that part of Rum's purpose was indeed to get him back to the organization and be used by the other party.

After all, Rum is an existence that has already usurped most of the throne of this world after the death of Karasuma Renya, and Akae Nazuki, or Kalua, was originally a sharp blade in the hands of the BOSS, so Rum naturally cannot let him live.

But Rum had also seen Kalua's abilities, and he couldn't bear to ask him to break such a useful knife, so he tried to interrogate Kalua in some way.

The best outcome would be to brainwash the other person and turn him into his own sword. If that doesn't work, Rum's goal is to learn about the other person's experiences over the past seven years from the person who has disappeared for seven years.

There was still no movement on the wall the detective was facing, and no one responded to his words. The detective didn't react much either. He just yawned and continued talking, looking very leisurely.

"Hmm - I guess you want to know how the old man died? Let me think..."

The detective said suddenly.

The next second, a cold electronic voice finally rang out in the room. The former second-in-command seemed to be unable to stand his suspense and asked loudly, "Did you do this?!"

Rum was horrified. He knew that the culprit who caused great damage to the organization seven years ago was the man nailed to the wall now, but he didn't know that even the boss's death had traces of the other party.

In fact, because the explosions at various bases occurred several months earlier than the explosion at the boss's residence, and the biggest beneficiaries afterwards were the Japanese Public Security Bureau, Rum had believed for seven years that it was the Public Security Bureau that did it.

He never doubted the possibility that Kaluya had killed the boss... Even when the other party was suspected of defecting, the boss remained calm and composed. Rum carefully tried to test him a few times, and the answer he got at that time was that the boss had his own way of controlling Kaluya.

Now I tell him that it was really [Kaluya] who killed the BOSS. Rum couldn't help but complain, "BOSS, what did you control?"

After skillfully provoking Rum with a few words, the detective frowned and said without a trace of smile, "Ah, but I can't remember that kind of thing. I'm sorry."

…

Rum's words sounded like he was speaking through gritted teeth: "It doesn't matter."

The rusty iron door connecting the dungeon to the outside world was finally opened. The people pouring in from outside had no extra expressions on their faces. In their hands were various interrogation props that should have been in the empty dungeon. The mottled marks on them made it easy to see how many people had been used with these things.

Rum repeated it indifferently, saying, "It doesn't matter, because I will make you remember it."

The black-haired young man hanging on the wall laughed, rubbed his tongue across his canine teeth, and scanned the people with his eyes.

"Then I'm really looking forward to it." The detective's words were full of excitement. "Let me see what you have, please——?"
