Conan: I'm really not the mastermind behind the scenes
Chapter 330: Unknown and 1: Unknown
The three of them entered the elevator again.
Kudo Shinichi turned his back to the surveillance camera, pressed the baseball cap on his head, pressed the button, and sighed: "Fortunately Xiaolan didn't come, otherwise she would definitely be looking for me everywhere now."
Miyano Shiho remained noncommittal.
The elevator stopped once at the first floor and several guests came up. Kudo Shinichi quietly shrank into the corner and stopped talking to the two people beside him to avoid attracting attention from others.
Fortunately, those people didn't pay attention to him. After reaching the 20th floor, the group got off the elevator together. The guests walked towards the banquet hall, and the three of them walked towards the lounge on the other side.
"I'll go alone." Dr. Agasa said to them.
Kudo Shinichi nodded: "Then we'll wait for you here."
Dr. Agasa took a deep breath and walked over there. Kudo Shinichi and Miyano Shiho stood at the corner, half sticking their heads out and looking at him cautiously. After he knocked on the door, the two of them retracted their heads.
There was no one else in the corridor. There were less than five minutes left before the game started, and even the hotel staff would not walk around casually. Kudo Shinichi's expression finally relaxed a little.
He had a handbag hanging on his arm, which contained Conan's clothes. He opened his phone to check the information and muttered, "I really hope I can recover soon..."
Miyano Shiho, whose forehead twitched as well and whose clothes were completely damaged, had also grown bigger.
She really wanted to tell the detective that drug development was not that easy and might take more than ten or twenty years. Once they fully recovered their original bodies, they would be more likely to be hunted down by the organization...but when she saw Kudo Shinichi's expression at the moment, she swallowed the words back silently.
Miyano Shiho asked the question that was interrupted just now again: "What exactly do you want to discuss?"
"You said this..."
Kudo Shinichi said calmly: "I want to tell you that Xiaolan seems to still doubt my identity. I plan to tell her the truth."
Miyano Shiho looked at him in astonishment, and used all her rationality to control herself from yelling at him: "I told you that if we are discovered, everyone around us will be -"
"I know."
Kudo Shinichi whispered.
"Then you still..."
"I just figured out one thing these days."
Kudo Shinichi interrupted her, lowering his eyes so that others could not see the emotions in his eyes.
"If I didn't live with Xiaolan and the others after I became Conan, then I really shouldn't have told her the truth." He whispered, "But the reality is that I moved in on the first day I became smaller."
"Once 'Edogawa Conan' is exposed, the organization only needs to do a little research to find out that he has been living in the Mori Detective Agency."
"You said that it was an extremely vicious organization. They killed Professor Hirota who just accidentally came into contact with the information. What about the office? If that day comes, will the organization carefully investigate whether they knew about it and then decide whether to kill them or directly launch an attack?"
Kudo Shinichi pulled the corner of his mouth bitterly.
"As a former victim, I can't gamble on their 'conscience' and 'professionalism'. Right?"
Should I tell Xiaolan the truth?
When he became a child on the first day, when he met Haibara Ai, after hearing what Aoyagi Akiko said, after he met his parents... Kudo Shinichi had thought about this question more than once.
His parents fully respect him. The opinions of Ai and Dr. Haibara are opposite to those of Aoyagi Akimitsu. The former two believe that it should be kept secret from those who are not aware of the situation, while the latter believes that people who are involved in danger should have the right to know.
Kudo Shinichi was struggling with this, and he knew that both sides had their reasons.
What really touched him and made him determined to tell Xiaolan was that during the embassy bombing, Xiaolan was injured while protecting him. - He wanted to protect Xiaolan, but the fact was that from the moment he moved into the detective agency, he had already brought the danger from the organization with him.
——If he had told them where he was going and that there might be danger there before he left that day, even if Xiaolan would still follow him, she would at least be prepared and would not be caught off guard by the bomb like she is now.
"So, I plan to be honest." Kudo Shinichi said, "At least let her be on guard. Knowing nothing is more terrifying than knowing nothing."
Miyano Shiho looked at this young and energetic detective who had decided to charge forward, and was speechless for a moment.
At this time, Dr. Agasa came back.
The two saw his frustrated expression, and Kudo Shinichi asked, "Doctor, didn't you get it?"
Dr. Agasa sighed, "Ms. Hua Lian has already gone to the backstage of the competition. I only saw Mrs. Shou who was about to go to the banquet hall. She said that it was Miss Hua Lian's exclusive recipe, and she had already signed an agreement with the cake shop, so it cannot be disclosed casually."
Miyano Shiho was silent. She had guessed that things would not go so smoothly.
"What should we do now?" Dr. Agasa looked at Kudo Shinichi.
Kudo Shinichi frowned and thought, his eyes moving around, "Let's go to the kitchen on this floor. The pastry chef said he got the recipe, or..." He looked at the closed door of the banquet hall in the distance, "Let's ask Miss Hua Lian herself."
"You're going to the banquet hall?" Miyano Shiho's forehead veins began to throb again. "There are countless video cameras there. The audience rating for this beauty pageant is as high as 20%. We'll be in trouble if we're photographed."
"There's more than one game to be judged. We can go in during halftime." Kudo Shinichi smiled, "There will definitely be commercials at that time."
This proposal sounded reasonable at first glance, but Miyano Shiho had a bad feeling.
Or rather, the feeling of uneasiness that had been lingering around her ever since she sensed a fleeting hint of organizational aura.
"It's okay." Kudo Shinichi showed her the phone he had been holding in his hand, "We still have external help."
I saw an email on the phone screen, which was sent a few minutes ago.
【Where are you now?】
"This is a message from Mr. Aoyagi. He probably saw that I disappeared after the competition started and was worried about me, so he sent it to me." Kudo Shinichi smiled, "He is an FBI agent and knows disguise skills. I can ask him to help us change our faces with makeup..."
Miyano Shiho's expression changed.
She grabbed Kudo Shinichi's hand, pressed the phone that was still displaying the message, and blurted out:
"No, Kudo... don't ask that man for help!"
……
Ballroom.
There are still 1 minutes left before the game starts.
"It is indeed a pity that Miss Wynyard has retired from the entertainment industry, but I believe that your company will have more outstanding female artists..."
Miss White was listening to another judge's congratulations as a figure quietly approached from behind her - if a shadow had not suddenly appeared on the ground, she would not have heard the other person approaching at all.
She pretended not to see it, did not speak to the other party, and continued to sip the wine in the glass.
After leaving for a few minutes, Aoyagi Binguang glanced at the backstage and put his phone away as if nothing had happened. (End of this chapter)
