Chapter 251 Forty-five Gachapon

It is still unknown whether Toru Amuro is capable of doing well, but Conan Edogawa is quite capable.

After making sure that he was really out of the sight of Bourbon and the other two, Conan's clothes on the back were almost soaked with cold sweat. He dragged Hagiwara Kenji, who was seriously confirming the surveillance of the missing location with others, and took him away with the same excuse he had given to Morobushi Kagemitsu and the others before.

To be precise, Hagiwara, who has always been sensitive to other people's emotions, noticed Conan's strange reaction and took the initiative to follow him.

Until they walked out of the roller coaster area, Conan looked around with a stern face for a while, then pulled Hagiwara Kenji onto the sightseeing boat beside the artificial lake.

Kenji Hagiwara, who was inexplicably assigned the responsibility of driving the cruise ship, looked down at the steering wheel, fell into a brief contemplation, and finally felt confused: "Little Conan? Aren't you going to find Detective-chan..."

Conan Edogawa's expression was extremely heavy. The detective badge he had been debugging since he got on board finally tuned to the correct channel. Amid the sizzling sound of the electric current, he said in a deep voice: "But the amusement park is not safe... The people who kidnapped Brother Yue may not have left yet."

Hagiwara Kenji's confusion turned into solemnity, and his hands unconsciously clenched: "You said kidnapping, have you found any clues? Detective-chan, how is Konazuki now?"

Neither of them mentioned the question of "Why do you know the detective's real name?" They tacitly skipped the topic and talked about the most important thing in their minds at the moment.

Conan's face wrinkled into a ball: "Now just to know this... ah, okay."

Hagiwara Kenji was stunned. He was more familiar with the kids from the Junior Detective Team, so he knew that this badge had a communication function. "Is that Xiao Nanyue over there?"

Conan shook his head and took a deep breath: "The person opposite is Mr. Amuro."

Hagihara Kenji: "...?"

Conan, who didn't look up so he didn't know how strange Hagihara Kenji's expression became, explained: "Although Mr. Amuro said he didn't know what happened, I found that he was lying. He probably knew who took Yue away."

Conan wasn't sure whether Officer Hagiwara would believe what a little kid like him said, so he didn't say too much, lest the other party think he was talking nonsense. He just used guesses and reasoning as an excuse to get away with it, and didn't even say his own guess about the other party's identity.

Hagiwara Kenji: "Wait—"

[“Where’s the detective?” The detective badge suddenly rang with the voice of Morobu Kagemitsu, sounding very serious, “You didn’t tell the whole truth just now, did you?”

"Do you still want to mention that person now?"

Amuro Toru's voice was very cold, different from any time before: "Scotland, this has nothing to do with you. I just sent him to where he should go at Rum's request."

There was silence across the street for a while.

The man called Scotland was even more confused: "Why a detective? Shouldn't he--"

"Because the detective you mentioned has been deceiving us all along." Amuro Toru smiled and said sarcastically, "You don't know yet? He has been a code member of the organization since seven years ago... Detective? No."

"You should call him Kaluya."】

That Yue Ge's identity was exposed.

Conan Edogawa's mind went blank for a second. He finally understood why Bourbon attacked his brother so suddenly, but this was the worst possible scenario he had imagined...

Damn it, he has actually transferred Brother Yue to Rum’s hands!

Hagiwara Kenji, who was listening to the conversation with bated breath like him, was also confused for a moment. He couldn't help but repeat the code name that was mentioned: "Kaluuya? Why do you suddenly want to mention Konazuki's online name...ah."

Hagiwara realized it.

I'm afraid that just like the Scotland that Xiao Xiangya mentioned, this name that he always thought was just a nickname represents a lot of shocking information.

But he didn't care at all about what Toru Amuro said about them being deceived seven years ago. Out of trust, Hagiwara believed that Toru Amuro would not be suspicious of Akae Nazuki because of such a thing, and it was even more impossible for him to take the initiative to send Akae Nazuki to a dangerous place, so he guessed that it was still related to the rum they mentioned.

...wait, isn't that right?

Hagiwara's gaze fell on the little boy in front of him, and his expression gradually calmed down.

Xiao Nayue, you really have been picked up and taken home by a terrible kid... Does this kid know what he is doing? Is he sure? He is eavesdropping in front of active personnel, and the information he eavesdropped on is so confidential!

Based on that trust, after Hagiwara Kenji confirmed that the detective's disappearance was related to Amuro Toru, he was not too worried. His attention was now focused on not letting Conan continue to listen, as this might lead to the exposure of his friends' undercover identities.

Absolutely not.

So Kenji Hagiwara suddenly reached out and pressed the detective badge in Conan's hand.

"You can't continue, little Conan." He tried to stop the child, and a smile appeared on his face reflexively. "Eavesdropping is not good... I will communicate with them about Xiao Nayue later."

Edogawa Conan was silent.

Officer Hagiwara's expression looked exactly like Mr. Amuro's when he was cheating people before! How could this be? He actually saw Mr. Amuro's shadow in Officer Hagiwara's smile. No, it seemed to be the other way around. Should Mr. Amuro be imitating Officer Hagiwara?

He spoke cautiously, tentatively asking, "...By the way, what is the relationship between Officer Hagiwara and Mr. Amuro?"

Hagiwara Kenji thought about it carefully. Of course he couldn't tell the truth at this time. But if he told a lie, this was Xiao Nayue's acknowledged younger brother, and he was so smart. He couldn't get away with it just by lying. So it would be better to tell a half-truth? Or not give a direct answer?

He finished his speech and spoke seriously: "It's probably a relationship that you can trust your life to, right? I guess Xiao Nayue thinks so too."

Kenji Hagiwara did not see the trembling of Conan Edogawa's pupils after hearing these words, or the movement of him silently touching the anesthetic needle on the watch.

—

Vermouth did not receive the message from Bourbon at the beginning. It was not until she finished her temporary mission and got the communicator back that she learned that Rum had taken Chijiang Nayue away. She immediately realized that Rum had deliberately sent her away.

So as soon as she saw the news, Bermode went to find Rum, but she also knew that since Rum knew her relationship with Cherry Brandy, he would never trust her, let alone talk to her about detective matters.

Bermode decided to test the waters on the phone first. She didn't think Rum would attack the detective so quickly. The kid was so smart, he would definitely know how to alleviate the pain... She should trust him.

The call was connected. Bermode took a deep breath and said calmly, "Rum, what did you say to Bourbon? He looked very angry, as if he had been cheated... What a disappointment."

"I just told him the truth so that Bourbon wouldn't be deceived forever. After all, he is my intelligence officer." Rum's voice sounded neither fast nor slow.

The call came at an inopportune time. Chijiang Nayue, who was sitting at the table, was just about to attack Rum when she heard her own parent's voice first.

He had a bad premonition, and this premonition came true after Bermode on the opposite side seemed to hear the sound of torture instruments and flesh coming into contact in the surveillance and asked Rum sharply, "Are you doing the mission?"

The black-haired young man, who was originally carefree and relaxed, suddenly froze.

It's over. He didn't want people like Vermouth and others whose memories would be transmitted back to the main world to know about the interrogation, so he found an excuse in advance to tell Vermouth not to act rashly, allowing her to be sent away by Rum smoothly!

After all, if Bermode knew, she would definitely tell Bourbon, and then everyone would know, right? !

Chi Jiang Na Yue's smile collapsed for a few seconds, and then she firmly raised the corners of her mouth again.

No, don't worry, there is still a chance to save it.

He put on a frown, and quickly dodged from the table to behind Rum, reaching out to shove the tip of the pen he had just taken from the console into Rum's throat to physically silence him.

However, Akajangazuki was still hesitant for a few seconds because of the sharpness of Belmode, which caused her brain to stop working, and her movements were one step slower than Rum's voice.

"Hmm? I'm training a dog." Rum said leisurely, and even in the electronic voice, one could hear the profound meaning of his words. "There's a puppy that bit its leash and ran away. It's very disobedient, so I have to use some strength to make the puppy remember who its owner is."

As he finished speaking, Rum's consciousness moved under his Adam's apple, and he suddenly felt a pain. Only then did he realize that there was something cold against his Adam's apple. He had just "accidentally" scratched a small layer of skin there due to his own movement, and a body quietly stuck to his back.

Logically speaking, as the second-in-command of the organization, Rum has experienced many assassinations over the years, and he is very sensitive to murderous aura.

But even so, he didn't realize that someone had unknowingly grasped his life. It wasn't until the other party took the initiative to reveal the murderous intention that he discovered the assassin... Who was it? He had never heard of such a terrifying concealment ability!

Rum's finger on the phone screen moved slightly, and the next second, a familiar voice rang in his ears.

"I'm afraid you won't have that chance." The assassin said lightly, "My master, this is a high-risk job."

The last guy who claimed to be his master ended up with nothing left.

The resonance of the other person's chest when he spoke came through the contact point behind him, making Rum dazed for a moment - [Kaluuya]? !

Rum rolled his cloudy eyes and looked at the surveillance screen, confirming with his eyes once again that the black-haired young man was still being restrained and tortured.

Rum's heart, which had remained calm throughout, could not help but waver at this moment.

If the person in the dungeon is Kalua, then who is behind him? Or if the person behind him is Kalua, who is good at assassination, then what is the monster in the dungeon with inhuman recovery ability...!!

He stopped talking abruptly, and naturally, Vermouth on the opposite side became suspicious. However, because the assassin spoke almost right into his ear, Vermouth seemed not to hear it.

But Rum was temporarily unable to respond to Bermode's questioning. He believed that if he made any further move, the thing on his neck would pierce his throat without hesitation. Cold sweat oozed out and dripped from his forehead.

Chijiang Nayue and Rum reflected in the dark screen looked at each other and saw what the other was thinking.

How could that be? He thought, he was just trying to scare people, how could he really stab it? After all, he liked the shirt he was wearing and the bolo tie Zero gave him. It would be too disgusting if it was stained with Rum's blood. He didn't want it.

At the same time, the corners of Chijiang Nayue's mouth turned down slightly, hardly noticeable.

...and again, he hates dogs.
