Chapter 989 Mao Lilan’s Doubts (Additional Update for Leader Gan Jie)
"Well, I understand, you and Dr. A Li should be careful."
Although Haibara begged Conan not to worry, he still gave a special warning.
After hanging up the phone, Conan's expression became more solemn.
Is the female voice that appears in the ringtone when talking to Mr. Asano in Danish? But didn’t Mr. Asano say that he went to France to attend a friend’s concert?
Although France and Denmark are both in Europe and not very far apart, they are definitely not close. More importantly, according to Mr. Asano, he only went to attend a concert and then came back. There is no reason to explain his behavior of going to Denmark midway.
Moreover, there is one more thing that worries Conan——
Gin said mezcal was in Sweden recently.
Compared to France and Denmark, Sweden is much closer to Denmark. The two countries are bordering each other, the exchanges between the people are very frequent, and they both belong to the Nordic category.
It was such a coincidence that Conan couldn't help but notice it.
Could Mr. Asano’s trip to Denmark be related to mezcal?
When Gin learned that Rokuha Yamada was on the NOC list, he immediately informed Mescal. Conan could only think of two possibilities at the moment.
First, Rokuha Yamada herself is Mescal, and she may be an undercover agent sent to the police system by the organization. Secondly, Yamada Rokuha is someone Mescal knows, so Gin has to remind him.
After witnessing Mezcal's superb disguise, Conan believed that his judgment on Mezcal's gender should not be too arbitrary. Further evidence was needed as to whether Mezcal was a boy or a girl.
In any case, it can be confirmed that Yamada Rokuha is a member of the organization. Everyone in the music classroom that she deliberately approached was suspected of being Mezcal, and among these people, Asano Nobushige was undoubtedly the most suspicious.
Conan scratched his head with a headache.
"Conan, what's wrong with you?" Mao Lilan's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Conan quickly turned back: "It's nothing, my scalp is a little itchy. Where is Sister Yukiko?"
"It should be in the bedroom. I was just about to ask you all to have breakfast one by one."
"Then I'll call you. Sister Xiaolan, you don't have to worry." After Conan said that, he ran out quickly, leaving the confused Mao Lilan where he was.
What happened?
After seeing the two men driving the Porsche yesterday, Conan has been in a bad state. Not only did he call her "Lan" with a look of horror on his face, but he also felt as if the end of the world was about to come.
Mao Lilan wanted to go home and see her father. No matter what happened, she could not leave her father alone. But Conan and Kudo told her not to worry. Staying at Kudo's house was the greatest safety guarantee for her family.
Do you really not care?
Mao Lilan's eyes gradually became firm.
She quietly followed Conan and walked towards the Kudo couple's bedroom. Kudo Yusaku is not at home, so there should be only Kudo Yukiko and Conan in the bedroom. Maybe she can find clues from their conversation.
"What's the result? Are we under suspicion?"
Mao Lilan put her ear close to the crack of the door, trying to listen to what was going on inside. The person who spoke just now should be Conan, but his tone was not right, not like a child at all.
"Yusaku went out to investigate this matter, don't worry." Yukiko Kudo's voice was still as gentle and sweet as before, not as nervous as Conan, "According to my...your understanding of them, if those people really pay attention When it comes to you and Xiaolan, they should come to your door as soon as possible."
those people? who?
"I know, but I just can't rest assured..."
"Click——"
Mao Lilan's desire for knowledge was too strong, and she accidentally touched the door that was not closed tightly, making a crisp sound.
Oh no!
Conan opened the door with a swish. After seeing her, his vigilant eyes narrowed slightly: "Sister Xiaolan, why are you here?"
"Well, I'm here to ask you to eat." Mao Lilan said nervously, "If you don't eat the food, it will get cold. If you have anything else to do, wait until after dinner."
Conan and Kudo Yukiko looked at each other, and then said, "Okay, then you go ahead. Sister Yukiko and I will be there soon."
"Yeah." Mao Lilan closed the door in a daze and walked downstairs like a zombie.
Too bad, she and Conan seemed to have offended someone and caused a lot of trouble to Shinichi's parents. If it were true as Aunt Yukiko said, the Kudo couple would be in danger because of them.
…
1F, a bustling shopping mall somewhere in Copenhagen, Denmark
The shopping mall was bustling with activity, and even the relatively quiet sushi restaurant was packed with people.
Ley raised his eyes and looked at someone sitting across from him in a daze: "Are you sure that Brinton will choose his target here today?"
"Not sure." Nobuhiro replied matter-of-factly, "The bait has been set, and it's his own choice whether he comes or not."
The so-called Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who are willing will take the bait. Even if Brinton knew that this was a trap set by the organization, he would still come.
"Since the teacher has such a great influence on him, why didn't you kill them all in the first place?"
Nobuhiro's eyebrows raised slightly: "That was my first mission after coming to Northern Europe. Brinton's teacher was also the first target I assassinated after joining the organization."
"Ridiculous kindness at work?"
"There is a saying in "Sun Tzu: Military Struggle", 'Don't chase the enemy when you are poor. This is the way to use military force.' Leave him a glimmer of hope so that he will not fight back desperately." Nobu Fan dipped his fingertips into some water and placed them on the table. This sentence was written in Chinese.
"Then why don't you continue to give him a chance now?" Rai raised his chin towards where people gathered in the shopping mall. "You want to catch them all tonight, right?"
Nobushige looked over strangely: "That was then, and this is now. At that time, I didn't have a deep foundation in Northern Europe. Even if it was to facilitate my future work, it was impossible to completely offend EVIL. But now..."
He smiled softly and said, "And now, you are the person in charge of Northern Europe. Whatever happens, it has nothing to do with me."
"I see." Rai raised the teacup to cover up the sarcastic curve on his lips. When he put it down again, his expression had returned to calmness.
Nobushige and Rai arrived early, but Brinton never showed up. Nobuhiro was bored, so he simply observed the business model of this sushi restaurant in Denmark. Maybe he could get some business inspiration from it and use it in the management of Iroha Sushi Restaurant.
As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer customers in the sushi restaurant, and the tea cup in front of Nobuhiro has been refilled many times. Until now, the clerk is not willing to serve these two guys who are lingering in the restaurant.
At 11:30 p.m., the last customer of the shopping mall walked out the door.
The clerk also stood next to Nobuhiro: "Two guests, we are going to make samples soon."
