Chapter 899 Curiosity Killed the Cat

Conan was walking on the way to school carrying a heavy schoolbag.

His expression was very solemn, like that of every child who doesn't want to go to school. It's just that the thing he's worried about is rather special, and maybe he can save the world.

After talking to FBI's Judy and Shuichi Akai yesterday, Conan said sincerely: "I admire you very much."

Because this was the first time he felt what it was like to have a reliable teammate, and finally he was no longer the one who led the way. He can finally win by lying down, so touching!

But after listening to Conan's words, the man who gave Conan a sense of serious oppression suddenly said to him meaningfully: "Actually, the person you should really admire is right next to you."

This sentence scared Conan quite a bit.

Why did Akai Shuichi say this to him specifically? Could it be that the identity of someone around him was not simple?

Among the people around him, the children, Maori Kogoro and Maori Lan were excluded first, and the most suspicious ones among the remaining people were concentrated in the music classroom. The only person Conan is more familiar with is Asano Nobushige.

That's why Conan only tried to test Asano Nobushige after meeting him today, but it was a pity that he fooled him.

If you think about it carefully, the timing of Mr. Asano's appearance is very strange. It happened to be shortly after Kudo Shinichi became Edogawa Conan, and Asano Nobushige soon "happened" to discover his true identity, and then logically participated in his target. The strategic unity of the organization.

Look at Hattori Heiji. The high school detective known as Kansai Kudo Shinichi also took a long time to discover his identity. How could a seemingly ordinary Asano Nobushige be so much sharper than him?

The more Conan thought about it, the more he felt that there was much to it.

Well, it would be better not to tell Mr. Asano about his cooperation with the FBI, at least until he finds out the identity of the person in Shuichi Akai, he should be more cautious.

Speaking of which...

Conan quickly took off his schoolbag and took out the envelope.

Something's wrong!

If Mr. Asano just asked him to hand over the things to Hondo Eiyu, then he could obviously give it to him directly after school in the afternoon when Hondo Eiyu came to the office to study. Even if he doesn't want to give it directly, he can ask Mao Lilan to hand it over at that time. Why bother giving things to him?

Mr. Asano must have his own reasons for doing things, maybe this is his deliberate reminder.

Conan quickly slipped into an alley, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then he opened the envelope with confidence.

To his surprise, the glue used to seal the seal turned out to be reusable. Even if it was torn open and then glued back on, it would not be visible at all.

Seeing this, Conan became even more certain that Mr. Asano must have done this on purpose, and the things inside were for him to see.

Conan opened the envelope and poured out the contents.

"Well, a videotape?" Conan frowned.

He did not have the equipment at hand to watch the video tape deliberately. The closest equipment to him was at the Maori Detective Agency, but if he went back now, he would definitely be late.

Conan gritted his teeth, quickly put away the video tape, and ran towards the office.

So Nobuhiro and Toru Amuro, who were preparing lessons, watched Conan go upstairs.

Xinfan was stunned: "Is he so justified in skipping classes now?"

Toru Amuro was also confused: "It seems that the next time I see Mr. Mori, I need to talk to him about Conan. It's not okay to be absent from school when you are just in elementary school."

Conan tiptoed up the stairs. When he reached the second floor, he gently opened the door of the office and took a peek inside.

Very good, uncle was drinking again early in the morning and was already lying on the table unconscious.

Conan walked lightly into the office, picked up the projector and ran away. He ran all the way to the third floor, closed the door, and put his ear against the door to listen carefully to what was going on downstairs.

After a minute, Conan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned on the projector and inserted the tape.

After doing all this, Conan happily knelt down in front of the projector, ready to see what was in the videotape.

However, there was only darkness on the screen.

what happened? Is the projector broken?

Conan patted the projector, but it didn't respond.

Conan slapped the projector hard, but the projector still didn't respond.

Conan used all his strength to tap the projector——

"Ran, don't make any noise! ​​I want to sleep!!" Moori Kogoro shouted from downstairs, "Ah, Miss Yoko is so beautiful! Woohoo, Miss Reina, wait for me!!"

Conan's movements froze, and it wasn't until Mouri Kogoro's voice gradually subsided that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that the problem was not with the projector, but with the tape itself. Did Mr. Asano use any means to prevent peeping? But how did he ensure that Yingyou could open it?

Downstairs·Lvfeng Music Classroom

Hiroki secretly complained: "King..."

Nobushige covered his phone's player.

Toru Amuro, who was debugging the equipment, heard the noise, turned around and saw his strange movements, and was stunned for a moment: "What happened, Mr. Asano?"

"No!" Xinfan immediately shook his head, "I'll go out and take a call."

He was scared to death. Fortunately, he covered Hiroki's "mouth" when he opened his mouth. Otherwise, if Rei Fukiya heard Hiroki's words of address, he would definitely be finished!

Toru Amuro looked at Asano Nobushige with a strange look on his face as he walked out holding his cell phone.

He seemed to have heard the voice of a little boy just now. It was probably not an illusion. Asano Nobushige talking to a child on the phone?

Toru Amuro's first reaction was that Asano Nobushige was going to adopt another child.

Shinfan grabbed Hiroki's "ear" and dragged him all the way to the foot of the street tree.

"When others are around, you'd better speak with words." Nobuhiro said helplessly, "My heart may not be able to bear it if you do it again."

Hiroki smiled sheepishly: "I'm sorry, brother Jingguang, I didn't pay attention just now."

"What did you want to say to me just now?"

"It's Conan. Sure enough, he opened the videotape." Hiroki said, "But the videotape has been processed and cannot be opened unless we use the method provided by Hondo Ekai. He has given up now."

Nobushige smiled and shook his head: "It seems that Conan still doesn't quite understand. Curiosity will kill the cat."

He knew that Conan would never be able to bear it. But compared to the content of the videotape, what Nobuhiro really wanted Conan to realize was the danger of the matter itself. He can rely on Hiroki to learn about Conan's behavior, and others can also target him through some small means. Besides, if that letter contained poison, Conan would probably be a corpse now.

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in the distance of Nobuhiro's sight.

When Azusa Enomoto saw him, she immediately swung her bag and ran all the way, almost stopping in front of Nobutano.

"H-I'm sorry, Mr. Asano, am I late?" Azusa Enomoto asked eagerly, panting and blushing.
