Chapter 24 Play
Who exactly is plotting against me?
Conan, who had just finished a phone call with Professor Agasa, was deep in thought, mentally searching for suspicious individuals.
After finishing his prank, Bai Yexiu went to the restaurant alone.
By the way, Conan has actually gotten a little heavier.
Bai Yexiu recalled the feeling of lifting Conan just now—it was a bit heavy, a little heavier than when he first shrunk, and it was a bit difficult to lift him.
So Bai Yexiu rewarded himself with a good meal. It was Gin's money anyway, and the organization would reimburse him after the mission, so he could spend freely.
Just as a few dishes were served, Conan, who had changed his clothes, walked in holding Ran Mouri's hand.
Bai Yexiu pretended to be surprised as he looked at Conan's soaking wet hair. Conan noticed Bai Yexiu's gaze and gave him a helpless expression.
"Conan, why is your hair wet? Did you wash it?" Bai Yexiu pulled Conan to his table.
"No, not at all." Conan recounted the whole story with a speechless expression.
Conan was truly speechless. He had been thrown into the pool three times in a row. The first time was by the Dark Baron, and the second and third times were by another mysterious person.
He still can't understand why that mysterious person threw him twice.
Moreover, he didn't even realize that the mysterious person had approached him. He had clearly observed his surroundings carefully and there was no one there, so how did that mysterious person suddenly appear?
"Hahahaha..." For some reason, even though it was something he did, Bai Yexiu almost laughed himself to death when the person involved told him about it.
Facing Bai Yexiu, who was slamming his fist on the table and laughing wildly, Conan blushed and tried to stop Bai Yexiu from continuing to mock him, saying in a rather irritable tone, "What are you laughing at? I wasn't joking."
Bai Yexiu laughed even harder, almost letting out his own voice.
Conan, his face darkening, stormed off in a huff.
After a while, seeing that Bai Yexiu had stopped smiling, Conan returned from the old man surnamed Jin Cheng.
Conan sat upright opposite Bai Yexiu and then solemnly told him the whole story.
"Why do you think Duke Darkness pushed me off the balcony?" Conan asked thoughtfully.
"Is it possible that he was trying to play a trick on you?" Bai Yexiu felt like he was talking about himself when he said this.
“No,” Conan said seriously, “I think the second and third times look more like someone’s pranks.”
Bai Yexiu: I feel like I've been subtly implied.
“Who would throw a child into a swimming pool twice? The methods used the first, second, and third times were different, so I don’t think it was the same person,” Conan continued his reasoning.
"Why don't you go talk to the people in the tour group and try to find out what they think?" Bai Yexiu suggested.
Conan seemed to have a sudden realization, and in a flash he went to find someone else.
Just then, Bai Yexiu's phone rang. It was Gin's email asking for his credit card.
Give me back my card. —Gin
Bai Yexiu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Gin's somewhat childish text message.
[I'm still working on the Izu mission. Do you want me to abandon it halfway through to deliver the card to you? — Cointreau]
Meanwhile, Gin, far away in Tokyo, looked at the reply on his phone and muttered "brat" under his breath.
The email was sent and showed as read, but Bai Yexiu still hadn't received a reply from Gin.
Bai Yexiu smiled triumphantly and began to feast on the dishes on the table.
……
After finishing his meal, Bai Yexiu waited near the bronze statue to witness the "Dark Night Baron" falling to his death.
Soon, he saw a short man climb over the police line and come to the body.
That's right, it's Conan who doesn't pretend at all (just kidding).
Bai Yexiu, seeing Conan performing the autopsy, simply climbed over the police line and picked Conan up.
"Children shouldn't touch corpses," Bai Yexiu said with a smile.
Conan, who was forcibly dragged out, retorted stubbornly, "Aren't you still a child too? You're three years younger than me."
Bai Yexiu remained unfazed by these words, still smiling as he said, "I meant now~"
People with squinty eyes are all monsters.
Conan exclaimed sincerely.
A moment later, Bai Yexiu led Conan to the Mori father and daughter, and they also happened to witness a scene where the police used a chainsaw to cut open a door.
I have to say, this chainsaw is really noisy.
Bai Yexiu covered his ears, feeling a little uncomfortable.
While everyone was investigating Jiang Yuan Shi Nan's room, Bai Ye Xiu quietly picked up the security latch on the ground that had a little bit of tape residue on it.
He used his fingernails to scrape off the tape residue.
I wonder if Conan will still be able to deduce how the locked room was formed by doing this.
While I'm at it, I'll pick up the pen that Conan dropped when I go downstairs later.
Since it's not easy for an "accomplice" to show up, let him add some difficulty to the case himself!
Bai Yexiu followed Conan the whole way. When they got downstairs, Conan was focused on finding a pen, and Bai Yexiu was also looking for a pen.
However, Byakuya found the pen before Conan did.
Bai Yexiu wrapped up the ink-stained fountain pen and stuffed it into his pocket, but he didn't intend to erase the ink stains on the ground.
The main problem is that it's too troublesome and easy to be discovered, and Bai Yexiu doesn't want to destroy the evidence too thoroughly.
Conan, having failed to find the pen, simply went straight for the corpse, providing a clear hint.
Bai Yexiu, who was watching from the sidelines, thought: It's a miracle that this isn't suspected.
"Conan, didn't I tell you that children shouldn't touch corpses?" After everyone deduced that the clothes were put on the deceased by someone else, Bai Yexiu went up and went through the motions, then took Conan down.
Seeing himself being held in Bai Yexiu's hand again, Conan gave up struggling: "Why do you always hold me like this..."
"Don't forget you're still a child. If you're too obvious, you might get targeted," Bai Yexiu said with a smile that Conan knew all too well.
Yes, I'm talking about you. You've been spotted by me.
Bai Yexiu has never intended to kill Conan. He is only interested in observing this experimental subject and preventing it from harming the organization.
To put it bluntly, he just wanted to have fun.
Conan seemed to have a sudden realization after hearing Bai Yexiu's words. But then, he remembered the two times Bai Yexiu had been able to lift him up—
This guy...when did he get so strong?
