Just when he was about to end the observation, an accident happened.
Chapter 486 I test Shirley!
I saw Fūya Rei raising the telescope in his hand and moving the observation position from the living room on the first floor to an open guest room window somewhere on the second floor, and his sight suddenly focused.
The curtains at the window of the guest room were drawn open, and sunlight shone through the transparent glass onto the desk. A little girl who looked extremely familiar was sitting at the desk, flipping through the pages of a book.
"…It's too much of a coincidence. The pharmaceutical company that Shirley was suspected to be working at was burned down and Shirley's whereabouts were unknown. Then within a few days, a little girl who looked very similar to Shirley but younger appeared in the office?"
Furiya Ling was thinking in his heart. He couldn't believe that this was just a coincidence. There must be a reason behind everything. Maybe Shirley really didn't die in the fire, but escaped through some means...
As a researcher, Shirley's physical fitness was probably not good enough, and she also did not have all the qualities that other members of the organization should have. The other party probably could not have unlocked the handcuffs and escaped from the fire, but Shirley's body was not found where the handcuffs were.
At the same time, there were no signs of forced unlocking at the keyhole of the handcuffs that were burned by fire. The other party used a method to get rid of the handcuffs and escape from the fire without unlocking them.
If we ignore the possibility of conventional logic, if Shirley becomes smaller by rejuvenating, she can indeed escape from the handcuffs without struggling...
"…It's incredible just to think about this kind of thing."
Furiya Rei's fingers tapped lightly on the outer shell of the telescope. He listened to the sound of the telescope being knocked and felt a little hesitant. Regardless of whether the little girl was Shirley herself or not, just based on her appearance...
This appearance definitely proves that the other person is related to Shirley, at least a direct relative. If we can get in touch with the other person, we can make a further judgment.
If the other person is really Shirley, perhaps he can bring her back to the organization. At that time, the organization will most likely let Shirley continue to work in the pharmaceutical industry because of her appearance, and he can also use this opportunity to move deeper into the core layer...
"No, really. Now even Gin, the scavenger organization, has disappeared without a trace. Even if we really confirm that the other party is Shirley and bring her back, who can we contact the organization through?"
Suddenly, Fūya Rei murmured to himself, he shook his head and denied his previous idea. Now the organization has been silenced and he can't contact the organization. This method will definitely not allow him to make any further progress.
"Forget it. There's no point in thinking so much. I'll first find a chance to enter Xiang Yuan's Universal Office and contact that young lady. Even if Mr. Xiang Yuan doesn't allow me to contact her, I still have to go to school at such a young age."
There is always a chance to confirm the other party's identity. After all, there is no such thing as a thief who steals for a thousand days. Xiang Yuanguang could not really guard against him without knowing that he was already suspicious.
Furutani Rei put the telescope away, turned around, and planned to leave the room and continue collecting information on other prosecutors in the Criminal Prosecutor's Office. However, the moment he opened the door——
Crunch——————
The door next to him was pushed open almost simultaneously. Fūya Rei subconsciously turned his head to look at the direction where the sound came from, and the person who pushed open the door and walked out also subconsciously turned his head to look at him.
The two people's eyes crossed in the air, and the next moment it became intense, as if one could see several non-existent sparks flying, which immediately made Fūya Rei's mood extremely bad.
That's right, the person who appeared in front of him was the one he had always hated, the person whose organization codename was Rye Whiskey, Dai Moroboshi, or... Shuichi Akai. Although Genko had explained the situation of what he saw at the beginning, Furuya Rei would not easily believe what others said, because there were only three people at the scene at that time.
How could he, Akai Shuichi, and the dead Morobushi Keimitsu -- how could Genkou know the true situation at that time? Was it enough to just say something he saw in a comic that sounded like a trick to fool a child?
Furuya Rei's face darkened and he threw the small bag he was carrying into the room to prevent it from getting in the way. On the other side, Akai Shuichi clicked his tongue twice, and seemed surprised to meet Furuya Rei here.
However, because he saw the shrunken Miyano Shiho at the window of the Xiangyuan Universal Office, Akai Shuichi has a deeper understanding of the wonders of this world.
It was just that he ran into Furuya Rei when he went out. It was a trivial matter. At most, it would make his mood a little worse, but other than that, it would not have any impact on his mentality!
"Why are you here? What are your intentions? Did you see what happened just now?"
Furuya Rei's voice was cold and his words were blunt. Although he did not directly point out what Akai Shuichi saw, Akai Shuichi understood what Furuya Rei meant.
It was nothing more than seeing the little girl who was suspected to be the shrunken harem Miyano Shiho inside the Xiangyuan Universal Office...
"Oh - are you saying that I saw you, a public security officer, secretly monitoring Lawyer Xiang Yuan?"
Shuichi Akai avoided the topic and started to accuse Furuya Rei of his crime.
"Are you still doing your old job? Still being a black crow?"
There was no need to talk any more. The figure of Furuya Rei disappeared in an instant. Seeing Furuya Rei approaching, Akai Shuichi put the bag in his hand aside and started fighting with Furuya Rei in the corridor.
No matter whether it was the Red Comet or the White Devil, it was impossible to determine the winner in such a short period of time under such circumstances—even though the two of them had never determined the winner in a hand-to-hand combat.
At this time, the hotel waiter who happened to be on this floor and was about to ask if cleaning service was needed, and the uncle who heard the noise and opened the door after his nap, both saw the two people fighting, and at the same time, a sharp explosion sounded.
"Stop beating me like this, it's not going to kill me!"
The figures of Shuichi Akai and Rei Furuya flashed by. They passed through the afterimages left by each other, picked up their small bags as usual, and then took out their documents from them like flowing water.
Two agents who were not from the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Division spoke in unison, holding their IDs and talking to the irrelevant people nearby.
"I am a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Division. I am currently just conducting a simple exercise here."
By the time the irrelevant personnel came to their senses, the two agents had disappeared without a trace. Their main move was to escape without giving anyone else any chance to confirm the authenticity of the documents.
Chapter 487: The Only Safe Zone in Beika Town (Questionable)
Of course, Haibara Ai, who was still reading a book in her room at this time, did not realize that she had been discovered by members and former members of the organization. She was just turning the pages of the book in her hand facing the sunlight.
Perhaps because the distance between the two sides was too long, her all-powerful radar for sensing Black Organization members did not work as it should have.
Otherwise, Haibara Ai would probably suddenly startle and then show a terrified expression as if she had heard of the Black Organization, and run downstairs to find her animal companion to explain the situation.
"...Mr. Xiang Yuan, are you not going to send that child to school?"
Asai Chengji stirred the coffee in front of him with a spoon to make the rock sugar he added more evenly dissolved. He looked up at the location of the guest room and then emphasized it again.
"According to the law, children must go to school. Otherwise, it is illegal. Be careful that the police will knock on the door. And the child will also encounter trouble in daily travel."
Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin. He didn't quite understand. Does this country also have a compulsory education system like his hometown? So it forces children under a certain age to go to school?
This is not a bad thing, but... it’s just that Haibara Ai hasn’t received her new identity certificate yet, so she may have to wait a day or two before she can go to school... In other words, what does it mean that she will encounter troubles in her daily travel?
The blue hedgehog posed this question directly to Asai Narimi.
"How did Huiyuan get into trouble on her daily trip? Would the police be so idle as to arrest passing children and send them to school?"
In response to this, Asai Narimi nodded in deep agreement. This top medical student who grew up in Tokyo had experienced this kind of thing many times - mainly because he often took sick leave to go out and recuperate.
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be joking, Xiang Yuanguang raised his eyebrows and was shocked. It turned out that the police in this country were still responsible for arresting children? He really didn't know about this.
After all, the original owner's mother died early and his father ran away, so he was raised by his grandfather. Usually, his grandfather would pick him up and drop him off at school, so he never skipped classes. In addition, he himself had never read other law books...
Therefore, these are common sense for the people of this country, but Xiang Yuanguang is unaware of this.
"Well, according to Arita, Xiang Yuan has been a good boy since he was young. He has never skipped classes and is always in school on time. It's normal for him not to know these things."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki's interruption at this time filled in the gap that Genkou had just been unaware of, but this made Kizuki Hotaru and Asai Narimi's expressions become a little strange——————
Because, they don’t think Xiang Yuanguang deserves the evaluation of “good boy” at all!
From the moment Gui Yueying saw Xiang Yuanguang's Silver Star train for the first time, he engaged in close combat with the killer who was planning to assassinate Habri Libnand. Shikoku Fangfang even wore a magician's vest and performed performance art in the courtroom.
This was especially true for Asai Narimi. He had never seen a lawyer dare to disguise himself as a prosecutor and openly manipulate the court to advance the case. If it weren't for Guiyue Liuyun's intervention, Aso Keiji's case would have ended even faster.
Nanatsuki Koshimizu knew the reason why the two had strange expressions. She first met Yuanguang Xiang on Yueying Island, and the most impressive thing was the time when he was at Honchidai. When she saw with her own eyes that Yuanguang Xiang was beating dozens of thugs by himself and even resolved the battle in just a few minutes, she knew that this guy had absolutely nothing to do with a "normal person", let alone this description.
"Well, Mr. Xiang Yuan, which school do you plan to send the child to? If I were to choose, I think it should go to [Teitan Elementary School], right? The promotion system there is very complete."
Asai Narimi brought the topic back to the matter about Haibara Ai. The reason why he recommended Haibara Ai to go to Teitan Elementary School was not just because he thought that Teitan School's admission system was perfect.
It was because when he first met Xiang Yuanguang in the TV station building, he had already noticed Edogawa Conan, the elementary school student of the God of Death who was working with Xiang Yuanguang, and the school Conan was attending was Teitan Elementary School.
In response to this, Xiang Yuanguang nodded in agreement, but his idea was completely different from Asai Narimi. The purpose of letting Haibara Ai go to Teitan Elementary School was very simple - that was the only safe area in Beika Town!
As the saying goes, the god of death cannot defeat those around him. Edogawa Conan goes in and out of Teitan Elementary School every day. How many episodes have passed since then? How many times has his god of death aura been triggered? That's just a handful.
If Haibara Ai goes to Teitan Elementary School, she might be able to become immune to the crisis of death by absorbing the aura of the Bleach Elementary School student. Anyway, Haibara Ai has always wanted to have a good talk with Conan about medicine, so this is also an opportunity.
After a while, the young prosecutor's cell phone rang. She greeted the others apologetically, then took out her phone and looked at the caller's message - [Presiding Judge Grandpa (No. 1)].
Asai Chengshi, who was closest to Kigetsuki Hotaru, took a glance and was immediately shocked. What does "Chief Judge Grandpa" mean? And why is there a number one logo? Do you have so many grandfathers that you need a semicolon?
Guiyue Ying didn't know what Asai Chengshi beside her was thinking, she just stood up and said with some apology.
"Mr. Xiang Yuan, I'm sorry, I have to go back now... Because the first courtroom was blown up, the third judge has been planning to hold a family banquet to relieve the first judge's negative emotions..."
"...?"
Xiang Yuanguang slowly typed a question mark. He was a little confused. What was going on? Why did they invite you to the family banquet? So you are related to the presiding judge, or are they just close to each other?
The blue hedgehog thought for a moment and roughly determined the specific reason. He believed that it was because the two sides had a good relationship. After all, Guiyue Yingguang's appearance was very friendly and attractive to Lao Deng... The old man was normal.
After Kizuki Hotaru left, Asai Narimi also planned to leave, but this time Xiang Yuanguang stopped Asai Narimi.
"It's already this late, why don't you just stay and have a meal? It's just an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks, it won't be a problem."
Looking at the blue hedgehog's confident look, Asai Chengmi was silent for a moment, but finally he nodded.
"Okay, thank you for your help, Mr. Xiang Yuan."
Chapter 488 Guess who was not invited to the banquet?
Regardless of what the Xiangyuan family had for dinner today, Akai Shuichi had no intention of exploring other people's eating habits. It was meaningless to him.
After ending the conflict that was bound to occur every time he met Furuya Rei, Shuichi Akai left with his small bag. He was a little annoyed by the guy's chattering.
Although it is not known where Xiang Yuanguang got the specific situation at that time, what he said was indeed the truth, but Fūya Ling was completely unwilling to believe it.
Tick, tick, tick.
Shuichi Akai kept his unchanged outfit for thousands of years, but he changed his long hair into short hair. Now the prosecutor named Dante submitted an application to the FBI on his behalf, asking him to continue his original mission of tracking down Vermouth.
