The Split-Actress in Conan's World

Chapter 145 Conan's Journey

Haibara Ai did not pay attention to the dangerous hijacking incident happening in the car, but was immersed in fear.

Although she had escaped from the organization, although she had realized that her sister was not dead, although she had learned the true position of Grenfiddich...

But the terrible shadow that the organization once left in her heart would not be reduced in the slightest because of these things. Instead, after she realized that she could not give up everything she cherished, she became more afraid of losing it.

She couldn't accept being separated from her sister again. She didn't want her sister to go through the pain she had felt before.

If the organization discovered her, not only would she die, causing her sister to fall into an endless abyss, but it would also likely bring unimaginable trouble to Glenfiddich. The worst result might even cost him his life!

Moreover, once the organization finds out about my childish behavior, they will surely rekindle their interest in APTX4869. With their unbridled style of doing things, they will only kill more innocent people!

She didn't have the time to care about the so-called bus hostage incident. There were more terrifying enemies on the bus than those two insignificant robbers!

She wouldn't be wrong. With her special talent, she could identify the evil aura of the organization's members. There were people hiding in the car!

What do they want to do? What terrible plan do they have?

Did they discover her identity? !

If it really comes to that, not only will all the innocent people in this car die because of her, but also the children of the Junior Detective League, Dr. Agasa who treats her like his own daughter, the reckless but kind-hearted great detective... and Chiyo who shares the same fate with her and also escaped from the organization, all will be killed!

She gently moved her hand and pulled the sleeve of Chiyoko who was standing beside her. Chiyoko was stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, and moved slightly closer.

Conan's eyes were serious.

There is only one possibility that could make Huiyuan panic like this...

There are accomplices of those people in the car!

He thought about his previous behavior and it should not be beyond that of an ordinary child. He also communicated with Chiyoko by knocking on the back of the chair, so other people could not notice it.

If there are dangerous people in the car, he must keep a low profile and not let anyone find out what he is doing.

Conan sat back in his seat, trying his best to avoid any contact with Chiyo and Haibara so as not to attract other people's attention.

We must not overdo it, but we must also find a way to resolve this crisis...

Conan couldn't help but frown.

It is hard to say that this is not difficult, especially since he has the body of a child.

The anesthetic needle is too "not for children", the bow-tie voice changer is even more eye-catching, and he can't even use the foot-strengthening shoes. The only prop that can be inconspicuous is his multifunctional glasses, but they are of no help in the current situation.

Moreover, he didn't even dare to reveal Chiyo's martial arts ability. After all, it was too outrageous for an elementary school student to knock down two armed robbers. It would be more likely to attract attention than his props.

Outsmart, outsmart...

"Don't be too stubborn, Cool kid." Just as Conan was thinking about a countermeasure, Teacher Judy next to him turned around and smiled at him softly.

"A good opportunity will come soon."

Because she had been speaking in English, Conan was stunned when he heard this.

A good opportunity will come soon——

This is a sentence of English that is very memorable in his mind, reminding him of a series of cases he encountered when he was 15 years old and his mother, Yukiko Kudo, took him to live in New York for a few days.

These cases together constitute a shocking conspiracy. If it is not stopped in time, the worst case scenario may be that the United States will lose their great statue of Victory forever.

Although it is not known how many agencies are investigating those cases, since his father Yusaku Kudo is closer to the FBI, Shinichi Kudo also came into contact with the FBI agents investigating the case.

During those contacts, he gradually learned some of the code words used by FBI agents when communicating.

"A good opportunity will come soon" is one of them, which means "make arrangements, keep silent and wait for the opportunity", and often appears in orders to undercover agents infiltrating gangs.

Once receiving this order, the undercover agents will stop doing anything, behave themselves, and wait for the opportunity to come. This is because issuing this order means that the FBI already has a clear understanding of the overall plan and has made targeted arrangements. The undercover agents are no longer required to provide more intelligence or cooperate. They only need to remain silent and not reveal any flaws.

Conan looked at Teacher Judy's smiling expression, and through the somewhat old-fashioned glasses, he saw the American flag with calm blue and fiery red deep in her eyes.

FBI......

Conan closed his eyes slightly and raised his thin eyebrows very slightly, looking a little deep.

Regardless of whether Teacher Judy is trustworthy or not, at least she can take advantage of the situation when she has some control over it.

His brows relaxed, revealing a worry-free smile, and he said innocently, "Well! I believe the police officers won't let the bad guys do whatever they want. After all, they don't have eyes behind their backs, so there will definitely be omissions."

In the front seat, at an angle that Conan couldn't see, Chiyoko raised the corners of her mouth slightly when she heard his words.

As expected of Kudo, he chose this method to remind her that there were accomplices of the robbers behind her.

The robber in front seemed to have eyes on his back. He didn't look back, but he knew exactly what Judy had just talked about with Conan. The tall robber yelled in dissatisfaction: "Hey, over there! What are you doing?!"

Shinde Tomoaki next to him looked at Judy with a worried look on his face: "Teacher Judy, please don't provoke these criminals anymore. It would be bad if they don't care and do something terrible."

"Of course, of course." Judy smiled and no longer turned to talk to Conan.

Chiyoko glanced over and noticed that both Judy and Aida Tomoaki were obviously paying more attention to the people in the last row.

Kudo made the right move. If he wanted to make these kids less conspicuous, he had to get the adults moving.

Regardless of whether Judy and Tomoaki Aida have problems, when they realize there are pests in the car, they can't just ignore it because that's their character setting. Judy always behaves like a smart person, while Tomoaki Aida is a pushover. They can't ignore the safety of the children.

Conan threw the problem he originally wanted to solve to these two people. Now it has become their responsibility to deal with the robbers and find the pests, so these children naturally don't need to do more.

If you don't do it, you won't be wrong.

Of course, if they are willing to die at the hands of the bomb, Conan can do nothing about it. He can only consider himself unlucky to have run into a group of lunatics.

But obviously, neither Teacher Judy nor Tomoaki Aida is crazy.

One of them is a well-trained FBI agent, and the other is the famous Thousand Faces Witch.

There is no doubt that they can choose to ignore the clues in Conan's words and portray themselves as a brainless fool, but what is the cost of doing so?

Let’s go through it from the beginning.

The Thousand-Faced Witch Vermouth killed the Shinide family in order to replace Shinide Tomoaki's identity so that she could get closer to Conan and investigate the two children, a boy and a girl, who suddenly appeared around him.

Judy or the FBI already knew that an accident had happened to the Shinide family, and that the Shinide Tomoaki in front of them was the arrogant Vermouth, but they needed to know what Vermouth's purpose was. The Shinide family were just ordinary people and they were already dead. It was impossible that Vermouth was just for this identity.

Now everything is clear. Vermouth doesn't want to be exposed because it is too troublesome to find a legitimate identity that won't be easily discovered to approach Conan. Judy also doesn't want to be exposed. Even though she and Vermouth know each other's background, they can only compete with each other in a seemingly peaceful manner in the dark.

The FBI knows that this group of kids are not ordinary, especially Conan who usually acts in a high-profile manner, but they don't know the specific inside story, so they have to point to Vermouth's behavior to figure out the truth behind it. They don't want Vermouth to be exposed even more than Vermouth herself.

But Vermouth is a typical mystic. What she enjoys most is knowing everything while others know nothing about her. Therefore, you can imagine how uncomfortable she feels when her every move is watched by the FBI and she has no secrets at all, but she has to endure it.

The result is that now, Vermouth and Judy hate each other, but have to live in peace due to their own interests. Conan suspects them equally, but dare not test them easily, for fear that one of them will overturn the chessboard and stop playing.

The two smart women couldn't fail to see that Conan was suspicious of them, but so what? Their identities were already problematic, and if he didn't doubt them, they would find it strange. And there was nothing wrong with doubting them, and it wouldn't make them lose a piece of meat.

On the contrary, they were very satisfied with Conan's attitude of suspicion towards them. Vermouth felt that Conan should be critical of this difficult FBI agent. It would be better to quickly recognize her identity and then send her back to her country.

Judy believes that no matter what secrets this "Cool Kid" has, they should stay away from this dangerous witch and see her true face beneath her good-natured appearance as soon as possible. In this way, the FBI will not have to worry about whether to target only Vermouth or play the long game to find out her real purpose.

Conan's idea is also very simple. No matter what the reason is for you to appear by my side every day, you must bring me some benefits. You can't just cause trouble to yourself, right?

You know, at this time, Conan had already washed away his frivolous arrogance after the early beating in his reasoning ability by Rin Chihaba. Later, under the guidance of Professor Lecter several times, he looked at things from a more human perspective. His previous naivety and childishness had also matured a lot. Later, in the process of observing Chiyo, he discovered that sometimes there are many ways to solve a problem, and he doesn't have to stick to the so-called "traditional detective".

Finally, after several confrontations with the organization, he understood a truth - that is, it is normal that he cannot defeat the organization. He is just a child, even if his original body is counted, he is less than 18 years old. Failure is inevitable, so his mentality has gradually become calmer. At the beginning, he failed to save Miyano Akemi, and the shadow of the explosion remained in his heart forever. Later, at the launch conference of the Mantiantang at the Beika Hotel, he witnessed Granfiddich casually dropping bombs and not taking human lives seriously. Even with the help of Haibara Ai, he transferred the bomb and saved the lives of other people at the press conference, but he did not have any sense of accomplishment, because he knew that this was not a game, and winning was not worth being happy about, because it was nothing to the organization. They could kill people or not, but once he lost, the price would be unacceptable to him, although he had no responsibility to save everyone, God did not give him such an angelic duty.

Later at the Haido Hotel, he was like a madman, wanting to handle everything by himself and save everyone like God. Even though he used an almost complaining tone to ask Chiyo and Haibara not to come, he still lost Haibara in the end.

Yes, he saved others, but why?

Because Haibara risked his life to send Chiyo's analysis of the bomb distribution map, and because of Kidd's inspiration, he was able to think of a way to have everyone evacuate in time, but despite this, he still couldn't prevent the reporter from dying in front of him. He was able to do all this not because he was brave or smart, but simply because the organization didn't want to kill everyone.

He may not have saved those people that the organization did not want to kill, but he was unable to save any of the people that the organization wanted to kill.

By the time of the Twin Towers incident, he had almost nothing to pursue. All he wanted was for the people he cherished not to die in the aftermath of the organization's actions. As for the others? He could save them if he could, but there was nothing he could do if he couldn't.

He was not a god either, or he once mistakenly thought he was a god, which is why he almost drowned in the self-blame for not being able to save the world.

But later, he reconciled with himself. He was just an ordinary high school student. Maybe he was smarter than most people, but he didn't have the ability to save the world. Especially after learning more about the organization from Haibara and Chiyo, he felt like a fool at the beginning.

An ant trying to bite an elephant to death, what else could it be but a fool?

Yes, if there are ants, an elephant can be killed. So you must at least have an ant nest, right?

What does he have?

An old man who can invent, a confused uncle, a sharp-tongued cold medicine maker, and a lazy sweets lover.

If you tell others about this configuration and tell them that you want to take down a criminal organization that all the intelligence agencies in the world are helpless to deal with, everyone will laugh.

Simply put, he started the game, and the organization? If he can play, he will play, and if he can't play, forget it.

His strategy has also changed. At the beginning, he thought it was most convenient for him to be alone, and he focused on elitism. But it turned out that other people's organizations were not only elites, but also a group of elites. So now his idea has become to form cliques.
