Chapter 670 Lin Jiayou: Conan invited me to solve my problem with him?
"Young Master Bai Ma is right..."
As Ikumi Gunda listened to Saguru Hakuba's words, she glanced with an extremely subtle look at the two burly men in black who were chatting over there...
Hakuba Saguru clearly understood what Ikumi Yata meant and nodded slightly.
"Yes."
"That's them."
“They definitely…felt something was off,”
After a moment's thought, Ikumi Gunda agreed with Hakuba Saguru's statement.
"I always felt that their demeanor was somewhat different from ours..."
"Out of place".
Bai Ma nodded silently once again.
Ikumi Gunda's statement was almost identical to what he actually thought....................
These two people, by their very nature, don't give off the impression of detectives; on the contrary, they seem more like the kind of people Hakuba Saguru had once encountered...
Killer!
That's right, an assassin!
Whether it was Lin Jiayou's cold demeanor and unassuming appearance, or Long Si's fierce appearance and the murderous intent that occasionally flashed in his eyes...
These things all give the impression that they come from extraordinary backgrounds........................
only...........................
Hakuba Saguru glanced again at Ran, Conan, and Amuro Tooru over there...................
The Mori family seemed to be quite familiar with Lin Jiayou and Long Si.
And their family, on the contrary, seems to have no problems at all.
This is quite puzzling...........................
How could a respectable detective and high school student's family become acquainted with two professional killers?
Furthermore, it wasn't just Kogoro Mouri's family who were on good terms with them; even Harufumi Mogi seemed to have a close relationship with them as well.
No, we can't count Harufumi Mogi.
He frequents shady establishments and went to Italy last month to gather intelligence on the Mafia. He's not exactly a legitimate detective; he's more like a half-detective, half-mercenary. He might even have blood on his hands...
Thinking of this, Hakuba Saguru scratched his head.
He suddenly felt a pang of regret...
There seem to be too many variables at this evening party at the Twilight Villa; I really shouldn't have come...
A wise person avoids standing under a crumbling wall; next time, I mustn't act on my impulses and venture into dangerous territory alone...
....................
Bai Ma Tan was lost in thought.
Meanwhile, Conan had already begun his operation...
"Uncle Long,"
Conan walked over first, smiled at the tequila in a cute way, and
"I haven't seen you in a long time!"
"Yes,"
Tequila smiled at Conan and said...
"It's been a while since I've hung out with you guys..."
Yes,
Conan immediately continued speaking.
"Ayumi and the others miss you."
"The other day at school, Ayumi kept asking me why I haven't heard from Uncle Long lately, she really wants to play with you..."
"Haha, it's Uncle Long who's in the wrong,"
Tequila, oblivious to anything, chuckled.
After he finished laughing, he apologized to Conan.
"Sorry, Uncle Long has been quite busy lately with company matters, so he hasn't been able to contact you much..."
"No no,"
Conan quickly acted as a considerate little baby.
“I also told them that Uncle Long must be very busy with a lot of things to do.”
"After all, Uncle Long is a great detective..."
Hahahaha...................
Tequila felt very gratified upon hearing Conan's words.
He cast a smug look at Lin Jiayou.
Just you wait, Cherry. They say the eyes of the masses are discerning, and children's words don't lie...
Since that's what they say, I guess I really am a great detective...
Lin Chia-yu: 6................
Lin Jiayou felt helpless.
He seriously wondered if Conan would eventually sell Tequila off, and even help him count the money...
Conan also keenly noticed the eye contact between Tequila and Lin Jiayou.
His eyes immediately lit up.
Well, the situation is exactly as he guessed!
Uncle Long Si really does know this Mr. Lin!
So that's how it goes...
Conan's brilliant mind was instantly filled with a multitude of thoughts.
His past deductions, his and Hattori Heiji's speculations, and many other details of their lives.......................
Back when he first judged Uncle Long Si to be a good person, he had guessed that he was an undercover agent of the Black Organization and that his superior was this Mr. Lin Jiayou.
Later, Heiji's repeated observations finally awakened him, making him realize that his real enemy was never the organization behind Uncle Ryuji, but another black group that he could hardly fathom.
Although this group is currently keeping a low profile, it has already dispatched Grace and Amuro Tooru, one inside and one outside.
While cultivating a good relationship with him, they secretly monitored him, attempting to use him—the shrunken Shinichi Kudo—as an experimental subject and observation target for their black corporation's scientific research...
Having realized this, he was already quite wary of them.
Of course, relying solely on oneself, one still cannot contend with this criminal organization...
Therefore, I must find more helpers and more assistance...
He had already found a suitable helper: his good brother, Hattori Heiji.
Heiji, as an accomplice, has his advantages, namely his intelligence and a certain level of fighting ability...
However, he also has his weaknesses, and these weaknesses are quite fatal for Conan, namely......................
He was unable to do anything, unable to truly take action against the criminal organization behind Amuro Tooru....................
On one hand, Heiji Hattori, as a high school student, isn't entirely free; on the other hand, he has parents, and Heizo Hattori, the Osaka Police Chief, would absolutely not allow his seventeen-year-old son to get involved in the struggles of a criminal organization...
And this is exactly what Conan needs most.
He's already a small person, unable to do many things on his own. For example, if he discovers traces of a criminal group, he can't go up there by himself; he can only call for help or the police.
But..................
He finally understood what kind of people the police were.
Even with a normal emergency call, such as a report of a serious murder, the response would typically be at the level of Inspector Megure.
And Inspector Megure....................
Hmm, good attitude, but skills need improvement.....................
This also means that Conan often finds himself completely constrained and unable to do anything...
In addition, Conan himself is quite confident in his intelligence.
While it may not be the best in the world, it is certainly first-rate wisdom.
With wisdom acquired, what remains lacking is action, or rather, force...
Wow, what a coincidence! Uncle Long is so big and burly, he must be a real fighter. With them joining the fight, it'll be a piece of cake for me to deal with Amuro Tooru and the criminal organization behind him.
Thinking this, Conan looked at Lin Jiayou next to the tequila and smiled sweetly.
Are Mr. Lin and Uncle Long very familiar with each other?
"Haha, of course we're very familiar with each other."
Lin Jiayou remained silent, but Tequila spoke first.
"Brother Lin is a mahjong buddy of Uncle Long and your Uncle Maoli; they're very close..."
"........................"
Conan listened to Tequila's words and didn't know what to say.
Does he want to tell Uncle Long that he didn't actually mean that?
Damn it, if Uncle Long and Mr. Lin are just mahjong buddies, then their relationship needs to be re-examined...
No, no, it's not just about being card players.
Uncle Mori seems to have mentioned that Mr. Lin was brought by Uncle Long to play mahjong, which means they already knew each other before...................
Yes, there's a high probability that the two of them are related, perhaps even from the same intelligence agency.
Next, I need to think about how to ask them for help.
However, we can't be too hasty. If their intelligence agencies also have designs on us, then we'll be in trouble.
Although Uncle Long and Mr. Lin are likely upright people, the others in their intelligence department, especially some of the higher-ups who are blinded by greed, are a different story...
Conan had a whole bunch of thoughts running through his mind.
Lin Jiayou stared at Conan for a while.
He had a feeling that something was off about the Conan he saw today...
Previously, whether he was disguised or out with Gin and the others, he could clearly sense Conan's deep-seated disgust and fear of the organization...
But now......................
Why do I keep getting the feeling that this kid is... somewhat close to me and tequila?
Was it because she didn't wear a human skin mask and instead used Cherry's traditional face?
Um, wait a minute...................
Lin Jiayou suddenly had a brilliant idea.
Is Conan planning to drag me into fighting the organization?
No, I'm dealing with myself?
No, no, no, that's impossible. Looking back at the entire storyline, Conan's intelligence has always been relatively high; he shouldn't do something as idiotic as Amuro Tooru...
Lin Jiayou was lost in thought, his eyes unconsciously fixed on Conan for quite some time.
His gaze was extremely oppressive, making Conan feel a chill run down his spine.
Damn it, why do I keep feeling like Mr. Lin is scrutinizing me?
Damn it, should I keep testing them?
His mind went blank for a moment, and Conan unconsciously uttered incoherent words.
"Then, Mr. Lin, could you play football with us next time, together with Uncle Long...?"
Upon hearing this, Conan knew things were about to get really bad.
That was a really direct question.
After all, I'm not familiar with Mr. Lin yet.
Inviting them to play football is practically like revealing all your secrets to Mr. Lin and Uncle Long...
Sure enough, both Tequila and Lin Jiayou looked at him with strange expressions.
Kick the ball?
Tequila's lips twitched; she didn't know what to say...
