Chapter 431 Akai Shuu 1: Do you need me to come back for support?
After receiving Gin's order, Chianti looked through the scope for a few more seconds reluctantly.
Unfortunately, it was really raining heavily now, and the dark blue umbrella showed no sign of being put away.
Cohen put the sniper rifle back into the gun case and looked at it from a distance - he had a hunch that given Chianti's personality, he might not evacuate like this.
Sure enough, Chianti was still holding the gun and aiming.
Cohen rarely took the initiative to speak: "Chianti?"
Gin immediately realized something, frowned and said coldly: "Huh? What's wrong Chianti, didn't you hear the order?"
Chianti was still very obedient in front of Gin, muttering: "I know, I know, I'm collecting my gun. Don't damage my gun in this rain."
Gin warned: "Don't do anything unnecessary."
Domon Yasuki looked at the sky and said to Mizunashi Reina helplessly, "It looks like the rain won't stop for a while, shall we go to the pavilion in the park?"
"Okay." Mizuno Rena breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be annoyed by the rain.
"Um, can we go together?" A young couple bravely came up to ask Yasuteru Domon.
Domon Yasuki smiled gently and said, "Of course."
"I am coming too!"
"Me too!"
Seeing this, others followed suit.
A bustling crowd surrounded Domon Yasuki and walked towards the pavilion.
On the other side, after Conan retrieved the bug, he was still a little worried about Yuya, so he came over stealthily.
However, what he didn't expect was that he would run into a large group of people as soon as he turned the corner.
These people all followed Yasuteru Domon to the pavilion. Because of the limited visibility under the umbrella and Conan's small stature, he was quickly submerged in the crowd.
"Wow!" Conan couldn't help but let out an exclamation. With his agile and nimble body, he shuttled through the crowd and finally rushed out.
Before he could catch his breath, he stepped on something and almost fell to the ground.
He looked down and saw that it was a high-heeled shoe.
Conan was a little speechless. He picked up his high heels and looked up at the crowd that had already walked away: "How much do these people like Domon Yasuki? They didn't even care that his shoes were lost."
Just then, Conan felt a darkness above his head.
Conan looked up and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
I saw Rena Mizunoshi looking down at me, and her face looked a little gloomy.
Seeing the nervousness that flashed across Conan's face, Rena Mizuno narrowed her eyes slightly. She squatted down and took the high heels from Conan's hand. Only then did Conan realize that Rena Mizuno was barefoot, and the flesh-colored stockings on her feet were stained with mud and water.
These are her shoes? Conan understood immediately.
He smiled innocently, "Sister Reina, are these your shoes?"
Rena Mizunoshi said nothing and looked at Conan expressionlessly.
Suddenly, she took off the portable headphones in her ears, raised her hand to touch Conan's neck, stared into his eyes, and asked softly: "Are you secretly following me?"
What is this?! Conan was startled, his pupils couldn't help shrinking slightly. He suppressed his inner tension and said in a very innocent tone: "No, I just happened to pass by..."
"Is that so..." Rena Mizunashi looked at Conan deeply and said softly, "Thank you for helping me pick up my shoes." Then she put on her high heels and stood up.
Before leaving, she suddenly turned her head to look at Conan and whispered, "Thank you so much."
Conan stared at Rena Mizunashi as she left.
Back in the sports car.
"What did you say, you ran into Rena Mizunashi?" Judy looked at Conan in surprise.
Youye frowned: "Didn't you go to retrieve the bug?" This guy is running around again.
Conan said: "I'm worried about you guys, so I wanted to go check it out..." and repeated how he ran into Rena Mizunashi.
Judy asked nervously, "Will she find out that we are following her?"
Conan shook his head: "Probably not, but... she thanked me twice. The first time should be because I helped her pick up her shoes, but the second time... and she gave me a very subtle feeling."
"Let's leave here first." Youye said suddenly.
It would not be good if Conan told Rena Mizunashi about her special movements when she questioned him. That is a lie detection method commonly used by the CIA, which might expose the fact that she is an undercover agent, which might have unpredictable effects on subsequent actions.
Let's just let it move forward along its established trajectory.
In the moving sports car, Judy crossed her arms and said, "The bug was successfully recovered, but we also lost the opportunity to track the other party. It's a bit troublesome to track them now."
"No." Conan's mouth curled up with a smug arc, "I placed another bug."
"Huh?" Judy looked at Conan in surprise.
Yuya said: "The reason why we are in a hurry to recover the bug is because Conan's bug is very easy to identify its source.
But how could we let go of this rare opportunity to get intelligence from the organization? So we replaced it with a bug that is hard to find and can only be detected by instruments. This is much safer."
Judy opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment, and finally could only sigh: "You are really too brave."
Conan couldn't help but ask: "Yuya, where did you get your bug? It looks even better than the one invented by the doctor. The receiving distance is over 1km."
He could clearly hear the sound of a car engine through the headphones he was wearing, and at this moment Rena Mizunashi's car had left for a while.
Yuya smiled slightly: "In order to deal with situations like this, I have specially prepared in advance."
"I see." Conan nodded without thinking too much. Bugs like these were easy to buy. The most Yuya could give him was a smaller one with better performance.
He himself always carries a bug, so it makes sense for Yuu to carry one as well.
"What do we do next?" Judy asked tentatively.
Yuya smiled slightly: "Of course I will continue to follow him. It's a rare opportunity to get information from a member of the organization. How can I let it go so easily?"
Yuya took out a tablet-like device with an electronic map and a flashing red dot on it.
Yuya observed the route and began to direct the route forward.
Judy looked at Yuya, who was sitting in front of her, with a puzzled look in her eyes.
She recalled the conversation she had just had with Shuichi Akai.
Judy told Akai Shuichi about tracking the members of the organization, as well as the bugs and trackers, but the other party's reaction was very flat, with only one sentence, "Is that so."
However, when Judy mentioned that this tracking operation was directed by Yuya.
Akai Shuichi's tone immediately changed: "That child? ...Do you need me to come back for support?"
Judy seemed to hear some concern and... nervousness in the tone?
Nervous? It's impossible. How could someone as calm as Akai Shuichi, who was not easily disturbed by anything, have a nervous tone?
Judy was stunned on the spot. Why did Akai Shuichi's attitude change so obviously when Yuya was mentioned, and he even offered to come for support?
Could it be that these two people had established some special relationship without her knowing?
