Chapter 27 White Night? The Paddleboarding Monster? Cultivation
Bai Yexiu didn't wake up until eight o'clock the next day.
He didn't know when the deduction show would be held after he took away the evidence that Conan could connect to the method, so he had to go find Conan.
However, Bai Yexiu, who overslept, obviously missed it.
"...So I devised the detective tour group plan. The bait I used to lure Ehara was the Dark Night Duke computer virus that caused a sensation among computer enthusiasts..." Ms. Sayama revealed her entire plan.
Meanwhile, Bai Yexiu silently recorded an audio message on his phone. This recording was to be submitted along with the report later, to prevent Gin from suspecting that he was using public funds for a trip.
"I will wait for you until you come out. I will always wait for you..." Maeda Satoshi said affectionately.
Although he missed the mystery show, Bai Yexiu, who knew the whole story, still shook his head.
Another day of feeling heartbroken over someone else's love...
After Ms. Sayama was taken away by the police, the rest of the tour group dispersed and went home.
Bai Yexiu had completed his mission and was now going home.
Bai Yexiu, carrying a suitcase, chatted with the tour group at the counter.
While they chatted, Bai Yexiu secretly turned on his phone's recording function to record their conversation.
This is something we'll be submitting to Gin later.
What? He's slacking off? Taking a paid vacation? That's impossible, he was clearly working so hard recording... (?)
The conversation ended, and everyone dispersed, but Conan, with a serious expression, tugged at Bai Yexiu's sleeve.
"But it seems that Miss Zuoshan only pushed me once when she was playing the role of the Dark Night Baron. So who pushed me the other two times?"
Even though the case has been solved, Conan still can't understand why someone pushed him twice in a row. What was their purpose?
The culprit, Bai Yexiu, helplessly spread his hands, indicating that he knew nothing.
Unexpectedly, he only changed two pieces of evidence, and Conan's deduction was postponed to the next morning.
He was quite surprised.
Seeing that Bai Yexiu was also clueless, Conan sighed helplessly. This was something he couldn't understand: why would someone throw a child into the water twice? Was it a prank or something more sinister?
……
On the plane, Bai Yexiu answered Gin's call.
Gin had clearly reviewed his mission report and recordings: "Are you sure that was just a decoy?"
“I’m pretty sure. Wasn’t it in that recording? As for the virus… I think we’ll get it eventually.” As he spoke, Bai Yexiu waved to the flight attendant for a glass of juice.
Gin seemed to chuckle slightly: "Are you so sure?"
Upon hearing this soft chuckle, Bai Yexiu pictured Gin's sinister smile in his mind.
Okay, Gin isn't suited to laughing.
"Goose... because I have confidence in the organization." Bai Yexiu said this perfunctorily and against his will.
He lacked confidence. He knew the composition of everyone in the organization; so far, it seemed only Gin was working diligently, while the others were either undercover agents, slackers, or useless individuals… Of course, he didn't include himself.
After all, he can be quite "serious" when he's working... (?)
Gin hung up the phone with a smile. Vodka, standing to the side, looked at his older brother's face, which was filled with satisfaction and a chilling smile, and wondered which member had earned such praise from his brother.
Okay, I admit I'm a slacker.
Bai Ye? A slacker? Xiu guiltily put down the phone.
However, he sometimes found it quite unbelievable. Gin was the only one in the organization who actually did the work, yet the organization was incredibly powerful and wealthy. Those useless people were naturally of little use. The only ones who worked hard were probably the undercover agents who wanted to gain the organization's trust in the early stages and some people like Gin who only wanted to serve the organization—but people like Gin were very few and far between.
As for the "slacker"... he's a little better than a useless person, but much worse than Gin and the like.
However, is it possible that the organization's vast territory was conquered by undercover agents...? This thought popped into Bai Yexiu's mind.
Thinking about it carefully, undercover agents do indeed work hard to gain the organization's trust, at any cost. If this can be properly utilized to extract every last drop of value from them…
Bai Yexiu thought this idea was good.
This was Bai Yexiu's first time thinking about infiltration in a long time. Previously, he had only given it a cursory thought, never considering this particular area—
Because he has always acted like Gin, executing undercover agents on sight or interrogating them as instructed by the organization.
Looks like I'll have to try hiring an undercover agent next time...
Just as Bai Yexiu was lost in thought, his phone suddenly vibrated, interrupting his train of thought. It was an unsigned email, and Bai Yexiu knew immediately who it was from.
[I bought some clothes and sent them to you. Remember to take a picture of yourself wearing them and send it to me.]
Bai Yexiu frowned and turned off his phone.
His adoptive father is the boss of the organization, but this boss doesn't act like one at all. He's obsessed with buying clothes for Bai Yexiu, treating him like a dress-up doll.
If the boss isn't around, it's fine; he'll just ask Bai Yexiu to take a picture for him. But if Bai Yexiu is with the boss, then... well, that's just...
Bai Yexiu suppressed the automatic recall of memories of being treated like a dress-up doll in his mind—
He liked all the clothes his boss bought him.
After thinking about it, Bai Yexiu realized he couldn't ignore the big boss's email, so he typed a single word: "Hmm".
He wanted to use this word to express his dissatisfaction that his boss treated him like a dress-up doll!
……
"Hey, Conan? I have something important to ask you." Bai Yexiu said into the phone as he unpacked the package after arriving home.
……
"So, you just asked me to take pictures for you?" Conan's lips twitched; he thought it was something important.
"Yeah, let's get started!" Bai Yexiu said dismissively as he came out of the bathroom wearing new clothes.
The boss only sent a few sets of clothes, so it didn't take long to take pictures. Before long, Bai Yexiu had his own photos taken.
After taking the photos, Conan and Byakuya said goodbye and left the house.
He noticed that the house was a typical Japanese house that could be found anywhere in Tokyo, but Ryuzawa seemed to be someone similar to Sonoko Suzuki...
Strange.
Conan glanced suspiciously at Hakuya's house before returning to the agency.
