Conan: I am really a good person

Chapter 366 Everyone Understands

"That gentleman..."

Huibara Ai lowered her voice, speaking at almost the lowest volume. After only a few sounds, a trace of fear flashed across her face and she stopped.

"That gentleman?" Catching this key word, Conan's originally absent-minded state of "There is a point of knowledge, write it down, and ask the generous teacher Mr. Akai later" instantly disappeared.

A future that is not only closely related to Rum, but also to that gentleman? !

He inquired perceptively, "Did that gentleman suffer a loss?"

This was apparent from Haibara Ai's hesitant tone. He also heard that what happened between Mirai and that gentleman must have involved the organization's secrets.

But he was only excited for a second. Just after asking a question, Conan realized: Wait, it's Haibara Ai.

That's okay. She probably won't reveal any important secrets. Let's go back and ask Mr. Akai.

Haibara Ai really didn't want to say it. In fact, she regretted it as soon as she said the key words.

There are two reasons for not wanting to talk about it. One is fear of the organization, and the other is...

She actually couldn't remember clearly.

It was as if an eraser had wiped out the events between 'Mark', 'Rum' and 'that gentleman' in her mind, leaving only a hazy mist. No matter how hard she tried to recall, she could not figure out the outline and details of the matter.

In fact, she should not have even had the confusion of forgetting something important. She should have forgotten that her memory seemed to be blocked.

But she was too scared.

Even if she had forgotten the specific things, Haibara Ai could still feel the distinct presence of some things. Those presences were like brands branded on the skin. She only heard a slight voice from the future, and the brand began to hurt, causing her to collapse emotionally and become fearful.

That feeling of fear was as if he had seen Gin drawing his gun and dealing with a traitor to the organization.

Haibara Ai didn't even have the courage to run away. She just wanted to find a place to curl up and choose her favorite morgue corner.

But this kind of thing cannot be told to Conan. Once he says "Actually, I forgot", his next step will most likely be to take the initiative to approach the future, circling around the scary guy like a happy puppy, wagging his tail ignorantly.

She said with a pale face: "Well, there is a relationship between them."

Of course there are relationships between members of the organization.

Almost at the same time, Conan spoke up, "If you don't want to say it, then forget it. Huh? You actually said it?"

He looked at Huiyuan Ai, who was rarely willing to reveal information about the organization, with some surprise, and immediately asked, "What's the relationship?"

"Yes," after hesitating for a moment, Huihara Ai lowered her eyes, as if recalling, "He, like Rum, has a high position in the organization, but the difference is that he is even more cruel than Rum and makes the members of the organization more afraid."

"His hands are covered in blood. He is an excellent executioner and a member of...Satan-type organization."

So it's very dangerous and you can't get close to it. If you're not careful, you'll be killed, and then the Maori Office will also be implicated. Do you understand?

Conan did understand: Mr. Future’s acting skills are amazing!

What is it that makes the members of the organization feel so scared? So amazing!
What, a bloody executioner? Did he have to kill a lot of criminals, or help the police fake the deaths of many victims? Amazing!
What, like 'Satan'? Isn't the opposite of the devil an angel? It's the red 'Satan'! So cool!
...Wait, 'Satan' hasn't appeared for so long... Can't it be...

Mr. Future is really awesome!
Conan took great effort to suppress the twinkling of his eyes. He pretended to be surprised and looked down in thought, saying in a surprised tone, "W-what? But..."

"But what?" Huihara Ai's face turned cold. "Not only does he have a good relationship with Gin and have a lot in common, he also had a close relationship with Rum."

They all work very hard.

One was trying to hide his amazement at his companions, and the other was trying to calm his rising fear and guilt.

The more guilty one feels, the bigger the reaction. Huihara Ai said in an obviously sarcastic tone: "He is still very loyal to that gentleman. Even among the members of the organization, there are very few people as loyal to that gentleman as him. He is simply a dog raised by that gentleman."

It was very strange. When Cricket was thinking about the future, she felt a chill on the back of her neck and an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness as if she turned around and might see the person involved.

But when Cricket said that his future was a dog, she said it without any guilt, and even her tense emotions relaxed for a few seconds, as if she had said some wise words.

...An illusion?

She paused for a moment before continuing, following her warning to Conan, and managed to find some memory fragments from the fog, and then said the uncertain memory fragments in a firm tone: "Probably a few years ago, he and Rum had a conflict. He probably thought that Rum was disrespectful to that gentleman."

"Then, Rum's presence in the organization continued to decline, and by the time I defected, it was as if he had never existed,"

"Just because I think Rum is disrespectful to that gentleman!"

Huihara Ai emphasized, "Before this, he and Rum had a good relationship."

She finished half-truthfully, and before Conan could ask further questions, she immediately concluded: "In short, he is a cruel guy with no bottom line. Listen to me, your top priority now is to cut off your relationship with him without leaving any trace. Even if you follow Gin again, it is better than dealing with him."

He threatened again, "If you attract his attention, your girlfriend might die one day."

Conan listened carefully and thought as he listened: Mr. Future is so powerful that all the code members of the organization recognize that he is absolutely loyal to that gentleman?
He is a good actor, very patient, and amazing.

No wonder Mr. Akai... He remembered Shuichi Akai's reaction when they were exchanging information and talking about the future: ambiguous attitude, smile and words.

An ambiguous attitude means that you trust the other person very much but have no intention of meeting him/her.

An ambiguous smile is a smile that is like a sneer, while biting the cigarette butt.

If the meaning is unclear...

"Why did I come to Tokyo? Maybe it's because this is the new home, no, the old home of the husband who abandoned me."

'What does it mean? Maybe it means that my husband abandoned his original husband to be with me, abandoned me again, found a new husband, and lived with him in his first husband's house.'

'And I clearly wanted to develop a deeper relationship with him and his husband, and live in harmony with him as a family, but they didn't want to. One was my husband, with whom I once separated and reunited in public, and the other was my newly married husband, with whom I shared the same ideals. They hadn't even dealt with the amorous guy's golden-haired lover and the dead Bai Yueguang, and they even betrayed me because I was suspected of being involved in Bai Yueguang's death.'

"We were talking to each other one second, and the next second he asked me to make room for that open-minded golden guy who was still alive. How cruel."

In response, Conan: "..."

To be honest, Conan didn't understand.

The meaning of "husband" is too profound, the relationship is too complicated, and the amount of information is too much, but he knows very little, so even though he can clearly hear that Akai Shuichi is hinting at something, he just can't translate it. He can only reluctantly translate one thing:

Mirai Ichijo first left the FBI, went undercover into the organization, met a member of the organization, and established a cooperative relationship. Then Shuichi Akai also went undercover into the organization, met that member of the organization, and established a three-party cooperative relationship.

Then the two parties joined forces to "divorce" Akai Shuichi...

Ok……

It sounds a little subtle, undercover against undercover or something.

But: Mr. Future must have his reasons for doing this, right?
Now, Conan deduced the truth from Haibara Ai: "divorce" was probably to gain the trust of the organization.

Listen, listen to the organization members’ current impressions of the future!

Well worth it!
Thinking of this, the phone rang, indicating that there was a new text message. Conan went to pick up the phone, touched his nose, and promised solemnly: "I know, I will stay away from it."

He turned on the screen and saw a new text message.

The message came from Suzuki Sonoko: [Conan, my little friend]

Conan: "..."

This kind of text messages have been coming too frequently in recent times, and he knew without even having to think about it that Mao Lilan must have received a similar text message.

I also know that if they were face to face, Suzuki Sonoko would probably lift herself up like Simba to catch a future, and then say "It's decided to be you, Conan!"

...but there's no need!

He complained in his heart and decided to ask Shuichi Akai about the specific relationship between "Ichijo Mirai", "Rum" and "that gentleman" before he became a mascot again.

What Haibara Ai said sounded a little strange and vague, but Akai Shuichi must be very clear, right?

*

Shuichi Akai actually doesn't know.

After learning that the "blonde killer" who kills people every year to vent his anger is Rum, he follows the clues to the club and finds Rum's subordinate Calvados, and tortures him...

Oh no, the great savior certainly wouldn't torture people.

Nor did he torture everyone indiscriminately.

Even if they felt tortured, it must be the old gentleman, the young man, Calvados, Judy and Shuichi Akai's own problem.

In short, after the great savior radiated a holy light and used the skill of "Tolerance and Kindness" to trigger Calvados's "Tell the Truth", Shuichi Akai only told half of it when he discovered that Ichijo's expression had changed.

At first, he had a nonchalant expression as if he was torturing everyone equally, and when he asked, he even sat back in his chair with his chin propped up, and a prompt box almost popped up above his head saying "I'm hoping that the right person will deliberately hide information so that I can have fun with him."

Later, he suddenly fell into deep thought.

He stared at Calvados, who was stammering, and his eyes moved slowly. He pondered for a few seconds, raised his head, and said in an innocent tone that made people alarm bells ring: "Oh, that's bad."

"Actually, I just died and now I'm alive again, but I forgot everything about the 'Blond Killer' case. Amazing Mr. Akai, could you please tell me the new case again?"

Akai Shuichi: "..."

In fact, to put it bluntly, I didn't listen at all just now. I was expecting Calvados to conceal it on purpose, and I was disappointed that Calvados actually told the truth. I can't play with a clear conscience anymore. Alas, it's nothing, really.

This is a very promising future.

Everyone understands.
