Shuichi Akai didn’t know why he wanted to catch a cat.
But he really felt like there was something wrong with the cat.
The attack from behind that day was too coincidental, and he remembered that before he fainted, it seemed like the cat was rushing towards the driver's seat, as if he was going to drive...
Although Shuichi Akai has not studied animals much, he has heard that some animals have an IQ equivalent to that of a child of several years old. If trained properly, they may actually be able to cooperate with their owners in aggressive behavior.
Combined with what happened that day, Akai Shuichi guessed that the cat and Coren were in a group.
After discovering that Column had communicated with Belmod, the FBI tried to follow him, but they always lost track of him suddenly - if he looked away slightly, or even blinked, he was gone.
Even if he keeps staring without blinking, as long as Colon passes by some obstacle, such as a slightly thicker tree, the people watching will see him walking past the end of the tree, and then never coming out again, like
It disappeared into the trees.
This kind of thing happens so often that the stalker's scalp will inevitably become numb, and supernatural stories from the island country will begin to flash through his mind.
Shuichi Akai noticed that the tracking process was not going smoothly, so he tried it himself, but failed.
After the bus incident, Shuichi Akai retrieved the videos taken by his former colleagues when they were tracking him, and found that once or twice, a fleeting shadow of a cat was captured on the screen.
Putting these pieces of information together and thinking about it... Shuichi Akai simply suspected that Column had turned into a cat and escaped by turning into a cat when he ran away.
But he soon gave up this ridiculous idea - let's not talk about how people turn into cats. On the bus, Colon and the cat appeared at the same time.
There's no way there are twins who can turn into cats. That's nonsense.
Akai Shuichi stopped thinking about it.
After the bus incident, what he was sure of was that Colon must have a close relationship with the cat, otherwise how could he even take it with him on missions.
Akai Shuichi originally thought that there would be clues when he found the cat.
However, after taking the cat and taking a closer look, he found that the people standing in front of him were just an ordinary elementary school student and an ordinary female high school student.
…It doesn’t seem like it has anything to do with the organization.
Could it really be just a coincidence?
Speaking of which, it seems that this primary school student also took the bus that day, but instead of being taken away and thrown away, he was left in the car, waiting for the police to pick him up.
Also, the videos of cats captured during previous tracking were actually very blurry - if you want to keep an eye on a person with strong anti-tracking ability, of course you can't get too close or show the camera directly.
So the cat shadow in the video...maybe another black cat.
Thinking of this, another possibility gradually emerged in Akai Shuichi's mind:
The cat on the bus was brought by this little boy.
I was shot with a tranquilizer gun just because I was unlucky.
The cat ran towards the driver and was frightened by the sudden sound of gunshots...
Both situations have their own reasons, and Akai Shuichi couldn't decide for the moment.
After he finished his meditation, he looked away from the cat, who had been raising his head as if wanting to stay away from him, and turned to Mao Lilan, who had been staring at him as if he wanted to kick him out of the earth, and asked calmly:
"Have you ever seen a person with curly hair and a black mask? He often wears a black hoodie."
"?" Mao Lilan was startled.
It wasn't that she was stumped by the question - as soon as she heard this, she knew who "Akai Shinji" was asking.
She was just curious, wasn't that person Akai's friend? They had even gone on a business trip together, so why did Akai suddenly ask?
Could it be that Akai suffered amnesia in an accident?
Or did his teammates suddenly disappear?
...No matter what the reason is, what does these things have to do with the innocent Xiao Hei? Why do you want to steal other people's cats?
Mao Lilan's head was filled with questions.
Conan was also surprised, but the reason for his surprise was slightly different from that of Mao Lilan - he could tell that the voice of "Akai Shinji" this time was different from the last time that person spoke.
Conan often uses a voice changer and is very sensitive to this.
He immediately realized that the person this time might not be the "Akai Shinji" who appeared with "Bourbon". One of the two Akai Shinji must have changed his appearance.
Judging from the voice, Akai's current speaking voice is very natural, but the former "Akai Shinji" had a somewhat suppressed voice... Is the one in front of me the real thing?
Why does Akai Shinji use other people’s faces?
In addition, the reason why I thought Akai Shinji was a member of the organization before was because he and "Bourbon" appeared at the same time. Judging from the incident of the Mantendo explosion, it was obvious that Bourbon was a member of the organization, so Conan believed that "
"Akai Shinji" is also a member of the organization.
But now, if Bourbon is the Black Cat, then Akai Shinji may actually be with the Black Cat and has nothing to do with the organization...
The three people looked at each other, each of them thinking a mess.
Shiraishi observed secretly and found that there was hidden doubt in Hide Akai's eyes, and he did not put on any protective posture that could prevent the cat from suddenly turning into a human and attacking him." Guessing that the FBI did not make anti-scientific reasoning, he suddenly
rest assured.
Then it turned to look at Mao Lilan and gently reminded her not to forget to find someone to ask for a cat.
Mao Lilan came back to her senses after being stared at like this.
Akai Shuichi's "seen" statement was actually a bit ambiguous. What he wanted to ask was whether Mao Lilan knew there was such a person.
But Mao Lilan thought that Akai was looking for someone because of her previous experience, and asked her if she had any clues.
"Sorry, I haven't seen him." Mao Lilan answered naturally. She really didn't know where the curly-haired young man was. "Please return the cat to me."
Conan secretly breathed a sigh of relief beside him.
He was originally worried that if Mao Lilan would not lie and answer truthfully, the two of them might attract the attention of this suspicious man.
But now it seems... Xiaolan is also very witty! She really has a good connection with her.
Akai Shuichi smelled murderous intent from Mao Lilan's last words.
Although he was not afraid, he did not want to fight with a little girl in the street.
Akai Shuichi handed the cat back again. Of course, he did not forget to secretly put a transmitter on the cat. Fortunately, the cat's hair was long and black. It was the same color as the transmitter shell.
Conspicuous.
Mao Lilan hugged the lost cat and walked a few steps with Conan. Suddenly she remembered something and said a little doubtfully: "Does the FBI also have recruitment quotas for people with disabilities?"
"...Huh?" Conan didn't understand what this had to do with the FBI.
Following Mao Lilan's line of sight, she found that she was looking at Akai Shuichi. Conan asked doubtfully: "Do you think he is the FBI? Why do you say that?"
