Chapter 1126 It's someone from That Organization!
Conan laughed. "Don't worry, Brother Chi isn't quite normal to begin with…"
Haibara Ai: "..."
Saying that about her older brother in front of her? Was that really appropriate?
Conan felt the icy gaze beside him intensifying, and quickly corrected himself. "Ahem, anyway, he even believes he can hear animals talking, and his acceptance level is very high. He hasn't suspected anything about us, has he?"
Haibara Ai looked away. Edogawa hadn't been wrong before; her older brother really was abnormal, and his acceptance level was indeed strong. She speculated, "It's probably because of Hiroki's existence. He's seen a ten-year-old who can create artificial intelligence and a DNA Tracking Program on his own. He knows this world is vast and that there are many people who are different from others. So, no matter how unlike children we act, he won't suspect anything. He'll just see us as precocious children with talent in a certain area, just like Hiroki."
Conan thought of Sawada Hiroki, a wave of emotion washing over him, before quickly smiling again. "So you don't need to worry at all."
Haibara Ai nodded. "I know, but I still wanted to give you a heads-up. So, are you sure she hasn't suspected you?"
"Yeah, that's why this morning was a disaster," Conan launched into Complaining Mode. "While brushing my teeth, she smiled sweetly and praised me for being a very smart child. At breakfast, she served me a huge portion of rice, saying that a future Famous Detective needs to eat more. And, she actually called the mobile phone number I gave her, and happily let me listen to a Voice Mail Message from Kudo Shinichi over there, saying she wanted me to hear Kudo Shinichi's voice…"
"You gave her Kudo Shinichi's phone number?" Haibara Ai interrupted, staring.
Conan broke into a cold sweat, dryly explaining, "It's okay, I always convert it to a Phone Recording when she's around. And I told her I had a very troublesome Client who kept giving me tedious commissions like finding lost cats and dogs. I also said I had an important Case to handle, so she shouldn't tell anyone that she'd contacted me, otherwise, I'd have a terrible Headache if I was found. In this case, she shouldn't tell Brother Chi or Sonoko. I'll also keep an eye on her. If she mentions Kudo Shinichi, I'll just interrupt…"
"Suit yourself," Haibara Ai stopped staring, softly saying, "But you better be careful. If your Identity is revealed…"
"I know," Conan's expression turned serious. "I won't let them get involved with those people from the Black Organization."
"If there's anything going on with Brother Hichiji, I hope you'll tell me," Haibara Ai whispered. "Especially… if that Woman shows up again."
"Whoa," Conan teased with a laugh, "Are you planning to confront her directly again?"
Haibara Ai countered, "We can't be completely unguarded, can we?"
"Yes, yes, I understand."
Conan readily agreed.
If Belmode really did return, he wouldn't tell Haibara Ai, to prevent her from getting flustered and anxious, or from not eating or sleeping well.
That's an Illness.
Just like last time, when Chi Feichei inexplicably stayed on the sinking cruise ship. When he initially rushed back, he suspected Chi Feichei hadn't left, but he didn't dare tell Haibara Ai. Afterwards, when they were rescued, he didn't tell anyone that he suspected Chi Feichei had a mental breakdown and attempted suicide, letting everyone believe that Chi Feichei had stayed on the cruise ship for the Truth and the True Culprit of the Case.
Sigh, he now fully supported Haibara Ai's idea; they should keep it a secret from Chi Feichei.
Chi Feichei was intense. When things were calm, his Mentality seemed very strong, but he had Unstable Factors that they couldn't control.
Since Chi Feichei hadn't discovered their Identities, they shouldn't let him get involved, just like Uncle and Ran; it's better if they don't know anything.
"Ah?" Genta suddenly stopped walking, hiding behind a Mailbox, pointing at a Man's Figure at a Shop Entrance. "Look! Isn't that Police Officer Takagi?"
Wataru Takagi, holding an Umbrella, looked around Secretively, before turning and entering the Jewelry Store next door.
Conan, based on Wataru Takagi's expression and actions, used Reasoning to deduce that Takagi was buying something for Sato Miwako.
The three real Children were excited, immediately following into the Jewelry Store, ignoring how surprised and stunned Takagi was, enthusiastically helping him choose Jewelry.
Just as everyone was looking at the Jewelry, a Man wearing a windproof Cycling Suit, a Helmet, and completely covered up, entered the Jewelry Store. He placed a Bag on the Counter, pointed a Pistol at the Shopkeeper, and showed a piece of paper that read, 'Put the Jewelry in the bag,' before taking a Woman hostage and gesturing for the Shopkeeper to obey.
Seeing that the Robber had a Hostage, Conan didn't act rashly. He crouched down, preparing to find the Timing to use his Power-Enhancing Shoes to subdue the man.
Wataru Takagi, seeing someone actually robbing a Jewelry Store in broad daylight, as if ignoring the Police, stepped forward and showed his Police Badge to stop him.
The Robber, however, still ignored them. After the Shopkeeper put the Jewelry in the Bag, he sneered, grabbed the Bag, and ran out of the Shop.
Takagi resolutely chased after him, followed by five Tails.
The group chased him to the Rooftop of an Apartment Building. Takagi had just stepped forward to negotiate when the other party directly jumped over the Railing and down to the floor below.
Takagi quickly ran to the edge of the Terrace, looked down, and his Face changed drastically. "Oh no…"
A Truck was parked downstairs. The Man in the windproof Cycling Suit was lying face down on the Truck Bed Roof, the Bag from the Jewelry Store Robbery beside him.
The Man's Safety Helmet had fallen off, hitting his Head, and there was a pool of bright red Blood on the Truck Bed Roof. The Man was motionless, likely already dead.
Next to the Truck, two Men in Moving Company Uniforms looked up at the Truck Bed Roof, talking in confusion.
"Did something fall down?"
"There was a huge thud just now…"
Behind them, a Man passing by with an Umbrella stopped walking, turned his Head to look at the Truck Bed Roof, then looked up towards the high-level Floors of the Building next to the Truck.
Conan stood beside Takagi on the Terrace, looking down, and suddenly noticed the Man with the black Umbrella next to the Truck.
That person was taller than the two Men from the Moving Company. He was wearing a black Hooded Sports Jacket and black Pants. In the gloomy sky and Light Rain, his pale Fingers gripping the handle of the black Umbrella, looked up at the floor above, the Umbrella tilting back, revealing a young European Male's Face.
It was a young and handsome Face, with some Freckles that should have looked cute, but his Expression was too cold and gloomy. His blue Eyes, looking up at the floor above, held a chilling Coldness that made one's Heart feel uneasy.
The Moment he saw that Face, Conan's Pupils constricted, and his Face instantly turned paler than Takagi's.
He had seen this Face once, when they were invited to the Twin Towers for the Tokiwa Group's Opening Ceremony.
It was someone from That Organization!
The fellow who had been standing beside Gin, aiming a Sniper Rifle at the Elevator!
Chi Feichei was walking calmly in the Alley when he suddenly heard a 'bang' from the Truck Bed Roof next to him. He immediately tensed his Nerves. When he found he couldn't see the situation on the Truck Bed Roof, he looked up at the Building next to him. With that look, he also saw the general Countenance of the two Figures, one tall and one short, on the Terrace.
Conan, Takagi… old Acquaintances.
Judging by the Pace, he had definitely stumbled into some Incident.
He was on his way to meet Ireland to exchange Explosives, in the identity of Raki, and he had just happened to run into this Incident, and had been seen by Conan.
According to Aoyama-style Conan Plot calculations, what would likely happen next is—
Conan would run downstairs and start Tracking him. If he didn't Sense it, then Conan would naturally discover his connection with Ireland's people, and know that the Organization was about to launch a major Action, and then naturally join the Organization and the FBI in this battle…
This encounter between him and Conan today was quite interesting.
If he didn't want to worry about the FBI being defeated, leading to Mori Kogoro having no one to Rescue him, he should pretend not to know he was being tracked by Conan today, or only realize it later. In short, he had to let Conan obtain the clue of the 'Organization plotting against the FBI', allowing Conan to join the FBI's Faction in this Action.
Later, he would need Akai Shuichi to Rescue people, so this Target had to be protected, but he also wanted to personally experience and Test Akai Shuichi's Ability, and didn't want to go easy on him. If Conan joined Akai Shuichi's side at this time, the Situation would be stable…
But he chose to give it up.
Looking at Belmode, Rena Mizunashi (Kir), and Amuro Toru, regardless of whether they were Undercover Agents or not, after encountering Conan and having too much involvement with him, their Predicament in the Organization would become dangerous.
If Belmode had to make some suspicious Actions to protect Conan, leading to the worsening of her own Predicament, then Rena Mizunashi was just unlucky?
A Car Accident, being controlled by the FBI, pretending to return to the Organization and being suspected again and again, and later almost having her Undercover Agent Identity discovered along with Amuro Toru.
As for Amuro Toru, after encountering Conan, his Predicament in the Organization became increasingly worse, almost having his Undercover Agent Identity discovered, and being suspected by Rum…
This Crafty Person, Conan, wouldn't commit Murder, but he liked to set Pitfalls and harm people.
The thought only took a Moment. Chi Feichei's Action was only to look up at the Terrace before looking away, continuing to walk towards the Alley Entrance with his Umbrella.
His Contact Lenses weren't ready yet, he hadn't stolen the Organization's Drug Research Data, and the Matters he wanted to handle weren't finished. A Golden Start and Green Light Passage were ruined; it was such a Pity.
So, this time, he didn't want to play with Conan.
Upstairs, Conan, having Recovered, quickly turned around and ran downstairs.
Why would someone from the Organization appear here?
Was it aimed at him and Haibara Ai? Or did the Organization have some Action in this Vicinity?
Although he knew the Situation was unclear, and chasing after them might be Dangerous, he would regret it if he didn't do anything after encountering someone from the Organization.
Calm down, calm down.
Think carefully about how to obtain more Information…
