Chapter 157: Blocking the FBI
Chapter 157: Blocking the FBI
"...He is either in the same situation as Vermouth, or he joined the organization in his teens." Conan continued what Haibara said.
He thought for a moment and said, "But the other party seems to be familiar with Vermouth. I think the first possibility is more likely."
Huiyuan thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"If Shinichi's guess is correct, then there are at least two people in the organization who no longer look old. Does this mean that the organization has mastered the relevant biotechnology?" Dr. Agasa was a little worried.
It would be terrible if the organization really mastered the relevant technology, and then it would be even more difficult to deal with the organization.
"That's unlikely. I was in the organization before, and if there were relevant results, it's impossible that I hadn't heard of it at all. This should be just a coincidence." Huiyuan paused and gave an example, "Just like Edogawa and me."
Gradually, the rain outside the car became heavier, the signal became unstable, and the sound in Conan's headphones began to be intermittent and less clear.
When he heard Cointreau say that there were members of an organization secretly observing suspicious vehicles nearby, he asked the doctor to park the car on the side of the road.
At this time, the signal of the eavesdropping device was unstable. Conan roughly determined the location of the transmitter through his glasses. He ignored Huibara's shouting and got out of the car, ready to run over to check the situation himself.
But before he took two steps, he bumped into someone.
Conan suddenly saw the muzzle of a gun in the pocket of the man in front of him pointing at him. His pupils suddenly shrank and he froze in fear.
He slowly looked up, and after seeing the true face of the person in front of him, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
It turned out to be Teacher Judy!
"Hi, cool kid." Judy held up an umbrella, took out her phone from her pocket, tilted her head, and smiled with a successful prank, "Bang!"
Professor Agasa and Haibara Ai in the car also relaxed from the sudden situation they had just encountered.
Conan: "Teacher Judy, why are you here?"
Judy said that since Rena Mizunashi had frequent contact with Dr. Arata, who was in Vermouth's disguise, she had been responsible for monitoring Rena Mizunashi's condition recently.
"Ah! So the person that Sister Xia Xi was talking about, the one who's spying on the apartment across the street, is you!"
Conan felt that this was a bit of a coincidence, but seeing Teacher Judy appear here, the surveillance operation should be over. Then wouldn't Sister Xia Xi have missed it by going over there to investigate the situation?
"Cool kid, let me ask you a question. Who is your sister Xia Xi? Why is she so good at fighting?"
When Judy heard Conan mention the name Xia Xi, she felt a dull pain in her body.
She was really a little impulsive today, but it was all because Xiuyi had previously given such a high evaluation of Xia Xi's martial arts skills. She was really curious, so she did this.
Judy thought about what happened this morning and it really scared her.
This morning, around half past six.
Judy noticed movement at the door of the apartment she was monitoring, so she used the telescope to check the situation over there as usual.
Then we learned that Detective Mori and his team, who stayed at Rena Mizunashi's house yesterday, helped Rena Mizunashi catch the murderer who rang the doorbell every Saturday. The other party turned out to be a little boy, and this incident had nothing to do with the organization.
Moreover, through Judy's observations during this period, she did not find any suspicious behavior from Rena Mizunashi.
Therefore, she thought that there was little possibility that Rena Mizunashi was a member of the organization, so she called her boss James to inform him of the situation and asked whether she should continue to monitor her.
After receiving the order to retreat, Judy put down her phone, put away the binoculars, and prepared to start cleaning up the traces at the scene.
"I didn't expect that Teacher Judy is from the FBI..." A sudden and faint female voice came from not far away.
Xia Xi climbed over from the balcony next door when Judy wasn't paying attention. Based on the approximate position of the line of sight she felt at Mizunashi Rena's house at the time, she estimated the rooms where the surveillance was located, and then tried to check them one by one without alerting others.
When checking this room, Xia Xi was a little surprised to see a familiar figure.
I didn't expect that the FBI monitoring here was Teacher Judy, and she hasn't left yet.
After Judy finished calling her superior, she spoke up to remind the other party where she was and that he might have just heard what Judy had said on the phone. Xia Xi was really curious about what Judy was going to do in this situation.
"Xia Xi!"
When Judy heard the voice, her heart tightened and she turned around abruptly to look at the source of the voice, but she didn't expect to see an acquaintance. She called out the other person's name in some surprise.
"Why are you here?"
Seeing that it was someone she knew, Judy relaxed her stiff body a little, but still remained a little wary.
Although it seems unlikely that Xia Xi has any connection with the Black Organization at the moment, it is not certain. Such things are not 100% certain.
And it doesn't matter now, maybe one day she will run into the organization's transaction site and be forced to join the organization. However, with Xia Xi's skills, ordinary organization members may not be her opponents. At that time, it is very likely that it is not the dark forces forcing the innocent girl to fall, but the heroic and passionate citizens sending the evil organization members to the police station.
After relaxing her mind, Judy began to think uncontrollably.
But he didn't show any expression on his face and calmly asked Xia Xi why she was here.
Xia Xi didn't know what Judy was thinking about. When she heard Judy's question, she briefly explained why she was here.
He also said that he and another companion had just separated to investigate and she had checked each room on the other side and would be there soon.
As soon as she said this, Judy heard a slight movement on the balcony where Xia Xi was pointing.
Apparently someone had just flipped over from the balcony next door, and had done so very quietly.
If I hadn't focused my attention there just now, I probably wouldn't have been able to discover it easily.
"Charlotte." Xia Xi called out Charlotte's name, reminding her of her location and at the same time telling Charlotte that there was no danger here.
Sure enough, after Xia Xi called out her name, the footsteps of the lady who came over the balcony became a little louder.
Not long after, a girl with pink hair and red clothes appeared in front of him.
Xia Xi gave a brief introduction to both parties and then looked at Judy, obviously waiting for her explanation.
Judy felt a little uncomfortable when she felt Xia Xi's inquiring eyes on her again.
The Black Organization's affairs must not be disclosed to irrelevant people. Finally, Judy could only organize her words and vaguely said that they only suspected that Rena Mizunashi might have connections with an underground force, and she came here to monitor just in case. Now it seems that the other party is not a big suspect, and she is ready to retreat.
The reason she was in Japan as an FBI agent was actually for vacation. She happened to encounter this incident and helped out. It was not a particularly important matter.
"So that's it."
Looking at Xia Xi and Charlotte nodding to accept the explanation, Judy didn't know whether they believed the explanation or how much they believed it.
