Gin's reaction was beyond my expectation, but since he's back, why didn't he go to the Halloween event in person instead of arranging for Vodka to go there...
Ye Geng put the phone back into his pocket, pondered for a moment, and began to hypothesize about the possibility behind this incident:
Did he accidentally capsize during a confrontation with the CIA? Although he was lucky enough to come back alive, his movement was restricted, let alone going to sea to investigate.
This is easy to verify. Just call and ask for vodka, and you should be able to get the word out easily.
However, I still prefer that he has concerns about Belmode.
In other words, just as Gin had revealed on the phone earlier, even he would not be able to fall out with Belmod without clear evidence.
Hmm... This can be seen from the previous handling of Pisk, which required sending an email to the BOSS for confirmation.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, even when dealing with Shirley, the policy of imprisonment was implemented at the beginning, and the real cleanup was only started after it was confirmed that she had defected...
Otherwise, as the captain of a small team, Gin openly targets the cadres of the organization, which can easily send a bad signal within the organization and even cause a bad impact.
Um?
Gin, are you so steady?
Of course, although the possibility is very low, it cannot be ruled out that he accidentally hit his head during the confrontation with the CIA...
Call Vodka later and ask.
Ye Gengyi retracted his somewhat divergent thoughts. After all, getting the task from Ginjiu and preventing being transferred away by other emergencies was only the first step. Next, he had to consider what he should do.
…
On the ground, in Dr. Ali's bedroom.
Looking at the bug that was disassembled, reassembled, and finally placed in a soundproof box, Conan slowly exhaled and said to Dr. A Li:
"I will use it to properly convey wrong information to the person named Vermouth. However, in order to prevent them from using jamming devices, the most critical communication still depends on you, doctor..."
After all, no matter how carefully the plan is laid out, the development of the situation must be grasped in real time. If the communication is deciphered or cut off, there will be no fun at all.
"When the time comes, I will drive the beetle car to the appropriate location and use it as a jump to the signal base station. It will be absolutely no problem!" Dr. A Li confirmed, patting his chest.
The only one left now is Saraichi-san... Conan nodded, thinking a little thoughtfully.
If Vermouth is really the person he guessed, then it is definitely safer to go to the Halloween activities than to stay here.
Moreover, for a puzzle-solving activity of this scale, Xiaolan’s father should have also received the invitation letter. He will confirm it later and then invite him through the voice changer...
Wait...what if Brother Gengyi doesn't go?
You know, that guy has never considered himself a detective.
Conan scratched his head, subconsciously pressed his fingers on the watch-shaped anesthesia gun, and whispered to himself: "...If you have to, this is the only way."
As soon as the thought came to his mind, an indescribable throbbing suddenly appeared in his heart.
This feeling came and went so quickly that Conan couldn't figure out what was going on.
Could it be that you are a little nervous because you are about to face members of those organizations?
No, I must have overlooked something...
Conan began to recall all the things that happened today and quickly made a judgment.
Teacher Judy... Xiaolan and Yuanzi went out with the equally suspicious teacher today!
not good!
Conan's heart skipped a beat, and with Dr. Ali's blank expression on his face, he dialed the number.
"Shinichi..."
The call was connected, but a slightly crying voice came from the other end, which made his body subconsciously tense up.
Immediately afterwards, after understanding the whole story, Conan breathed a sigh of relief, but also had new doubts about the identity of Teacher Judy.
She agreed to Xiaolan and Yuanzi to organize a farewell queue for her, but the reason for resigning was because she found a map of an important treasure?
The map of important treasures...could she be...
"Shinichi, did I guess wrong?"
The sudden silence on the receiver made Mao Lilan, who mustered up the courage to tell her reasoning, almost hang up the phone in embarrassment.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I was just thinking about your expression of racking your brains and thinking seriously..."
For Conan, lies come naturally. After a few words of ridicule, he said with relief:
"Detectives are not omniscient and omnipotent gods. In fact, every detective will still feel a little uneasy when trying to explain his reasoning. They will also worry about whether they have overlooked some details, but..."
He paused and said with a smile: "That's why, when the truth is the same as your conclusion, the joy in my heart will be doubled. I just think I shouldn't take away your fun. Think about it, if you Is that prisoner, what kind of situation would he appear in front of everyone in a panic..."
Mao Lilan was suddenly filled with courage.
She walked into the convenience store bathroom, shouted 'fire' and successfully caught the thief hiding in the ceiling.
"Female detective, I'm sorry to interrupt your cheers..."
Conan tried his best to use a non-concerned tone and asked, "Have you been to my house recently?"
"Eh? I didn't go?" Mao Lilan was confused, "What's wrong?"
"No, I'm just asking casually. I still have some unfinished business here. Let's talk some other time."
Without giving Mao Lilan a chance to raise her doubts, Conan hung up the phone.
"Really, it's always like this..."
Mao Lilan muttered something in a low voice, but she quickly integrated into the joyful atmosphere of a perfect resolution of the incident.
After saying goodbye to their junior high school classmates working here, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko took the purchased juice, liquor and snacks to Judy Stelling's house.
Different from Conan and Hattori Heiji.
Judy Stelling did not have much psychological defense against these two female students who had already investigated their identities and backgrounds.
From the very beginning of their meeting, the three of them talked about the theft that had just occurred in the convenience store.
Judy Stelling, who temporarily put aside the pressure, got herself drunk without knowing it.
"I said we wanted to drink together until the evening, but it turned out that it was only after noon and it didn't work."
Suzuki Sonoko held her chin with her hands, "If I had known, I would have asked the teacher to drink juice with us."
"I think the teacher may be homesick, that's why he drank so much wine," Mao Lilan stood up and greeted, "I'm going to the bathroom."
"Then I'll go find a quilt and cover her in case she catches a cold." Suzuki Sonoko also got up and walked towards the bedroom.
In front of the bathroom sink.
Mao Lilan is still thinking about his previous reasoning.
Shinichi is right. The moment when the truth and reasoning confirm each other really makes people feel happy, huh? What's this……
Suddenly, her eyes fell on a card exposed on the edge of the mirror.
If you don't put it away properly, it will get wet.
Mao Lilan thought and opened the mirror door in front of her, but the photo that came into view shocked her.
His own, Sonoko's, Conan's, and the three Shinichi who appeared at the garden party.
What exactly is going on? !
Mao Lilan took half a step back and subconsciously wanted to wake up Teacher Judy to ask clearly. However, the content of the phone call with Shinichi just now came to mind again unconsciously.
Maybe... I'll investigate again?
