Conan: I am definitely not a kid

Chapter 143 Something is wrong with Mori Yuro

Organization base lounge.

The sound of running water that had been running in the bathroom finally stopped.

There were sporadic cuts on Ley's chin, so he could only go back to his original ways and shave himself with a razor blade in the bathroom cabinet. After he finished cleaning, he touched his chin. He hesitated for a moment, but still did not remove the thin blade as a defensive weapon. He flipped his wrist and threw it directly into the trash can next to him.

This kind of blade, which is too small and has no handle, actually requires higher usage techniques than standard weapons. After all, he is not an assassin, so the role of the blade in his hands is limited. If he really needs to use it, he still needs to use it now. It is more convenient to grab weapons.

And... thinking of Mori Yuro who was waiting for him to go out outside the bathroom, Rai wiped his hands with a towel on the side. It was not like he couldn't defeat Madera without weapons.

In order to create a sense of psychological oppression, all the wounds the interrogators inflicted on Ley were within sight, which made it easier for him to deal with the wounds alone. Torture is a long-term task, and the interrogator cannot let him pass out from blood loss on the first day. These scars are painful, but the damage is limited after all.

Therefore, although Lye's work of treating the wound was tedious, it actually didn't take much thought.

The trouble is something else.

Rai stood in the bathroom full of water vapor and looked at himself in the mirror. His eyebrows moved slightly, and his expression didn't seem to have changed much. Compared with the vigilant and sharp appearance before, the person in the mirror suddenly lost his momentum. Showing some fatigue.

Although he had been released from the interrogation room, Rai knew in his heart that at times like this, he could not take things lightly. It was not the time to relax yet.

The atmosphere of this interrogation was completely different from the previous ones. The organization really believed that he was an undercover infiltrated by some agency, and had been trying every means to interrogate the organization and the person behind him. No matter how he induced it, it was difficult to even shake him slightly. It can be seen how determined the other party's attitude is.

Rai originally thought that this time he was really losing his skin in the interrogation room, and he probably wouldn't be able to get out. Unexpectedly, only two days had passed, and Mori Yura had caught him again just like last time. come out.

This isn't right.

Although both were trying to recruit people, the circumstances of the two interrogations were actually completely different.

Some time before the last interrogation, Rai had vaguely noticed that someone seemed to be observing him. This kind of observation also happened during the period before he became a member of Codename and was under review by the organization, but now the people who were paying attention to him were of a higher level. His movements were more cautious, and even Rai couldn't find the source of his sight for a moment.

Rye, who had some suspicions, immediately cut off contact with the FBI. Soon after, the Whiskey Team was involved in the leak. Although the organization suspected that there was an undercover agent in the Whiskey Team, it had no clear preference for the three bottles of whiskey. , and Mori Yura showed his trust in him, proving that Rai's previous worries were not unfounded——

Someone in the organization was indeed observing Ley's movements, and Ley's performance during those few days cleared his suspicion during the last interrogation.

However, there were only a few days between the two interrogations. During these days, Rai was basically under the control of Mori Yuro around the clock. Not to mention Mori Yuro, who was responsible for issuing tasks to him, distributing weapons, and monitoring his residence. Many members could attest that he had not contacted anyone. What could have caused the sudden change in the group's attitude?

Why does Mori Yura's opinion contradict the organization's insistence that he is not an undercover agent?

There are too many contradictions in this. Rai knows that there must be a reason for what the organization and Mori Yura do. It is just that the information he has is insufficient, which makes things seem inexplicable. The black organization is too large and has too many secrets. He must dive deeper and obtain more intelligence in order to better grasp the development of the situation.

However, the exposed crisis appeared in front of Rai without any warning.

The interrogator's insistence on not giving up until his undercover status was confirmed was too obvious. It was so obvious that it was difficult for Rai to convince himself that the crisis was over. He had to figure out what made the interrogator think that he was an undercover agent. To that extent.

Although he didn't know how difficult it would be for Mori Yura to fish him out under the organization's tough attitude, Rai believed that he had no such value to Mori Yura. There must be something behind this behavior. Don't have any plans.

Although Mori Yuro may have other purposes, Rai must prepare for the worst, which is that Mori Yuro did not actually convince the organization that he was not an undercover agent, and this release was also part of the interrogation.

He must not take it lightly.

In order to allow people to see every possible hiding place in the room at a glance, even the lounge that can be opened with Mori Yura's authority is not large. The room is a fully open structure, and the only closed bathroom is also used. Fully transparent view.

The glass partition could be temporarily blocked with a curtain. In order to block Moriyuro's sight, Rai could only keep raising the water temperature while treating the wound, turning the bathroom into a steamer.

It's not that there is anything about him that Mori Yuro can't see, it's just that as a member of the organization, he is not in good condition at this time. When dealing with wounds, he needs some privacy from the environment. This is the habit of people who move in the dark. There are certain behavioral patterns - but that's not the reason why Rai suddenly became reserved.

If you think about it from the perspective of interrogation, this situation of being released from the interrogation room, suddenly relaxed and defenseless, can be said to be an excellent opportunity to surprise and extort a confession. Mori Yura has a special relationship with him, and is very suitable to trick him at this time.

Could this be a routine for organizing interrogations?

Although Rai believed that Yuro Mori's intelligence skills were not suitable for this kind of work, the current situation did not allow him to be careless and he simply took the initiative to sell a flaw and deliberately let the water mist fill the bathroom to show that he was in poor condition. , and secretly prepared for the interrogation. Unexpectedly, nothing happened until the wounds were treated.

It seems that he guessed wrong.

Silently crossing out a guess in his mind, Rai carefully cleaned up the blood near the sewer outlet, wiped his wet hair casually with a towel, pushed open the glass door of the bathroom that was blurred by water mist, and walked out.

It was already late at night, and Mori Yuro did not turn on the main light in the room. The soft warm yellow light from all around hit the simple solid-color furniture. On the dining table were food and drinks sent by logistics. The portions were not large but the variety was rich. Even though he knew that he needed it The only person eating was Rai, who had been locked in the interrogation room and hadn't even taken a few sips of water. However, the dishes and chopsticks were still placed twice, and a candle was even lit next to him for incense. The flickering light of the fire was quite romantic.

Moriyuro was leaning on the sofa waiting for him, but at this moment she didn't react at all to Rai coming out of the bathroom. She had her eyes closed, one hand on the armrest to support her head, and she seemed to have fallen asleep.
