This made Mouri Kogoro and Mao Lilan, who were sitting in the living room, twitch their ears at the same time, vaguely hearing this word that was not suitable for children.
Mouri Kogoro's eyes changed slightly, thinking in his mind that this child's precocious maturity was indeed not a good thing.
Mao Lilan next to her had a slightly red face, then stood up angrily and went to knock on the toilet door.
"Conan? What are you doing in there?"
"Conan..."
When Conan heard that Mao Lilan came to visit the class, he quickly pressed the flush button of the toilet.
With the sound of the rushing water, he quickly told Qin Zhibo a few words.
"Keep an eye on that person. I'll go to the office to find you tomorrow!"
"that's all……"
After saying that, the call was immediately hung up.
Qin Zhibo here looked at the hang-up prompt on the phone and shook his head helplessly.
It seems that this custom is still too exciting for the kid...
wrong.
It's a matter of dust.
After reporting today's results to Conan, the next step was to call Toru Amuro back.
Amuro Toru called herself so many times today, it seems the situation is very urgent.
Did he see "Michael" in the mall?
Toru Amuro is one of the few people who knows the true identity of "Michael". If he saw Michael with his own eyes, he would definitely know that he was actually causing trouble in the mall.
Or maybe he guessed it based on Xiaolan's description?
Qin Zhibo thought about it and thought that no matter what happened, he just wanted to talk to him about the real confidants of the organization boss.
According to the latest information obtained through the exchange with the Yi people just now, from before the full moon incident to the time when he came back from the parallel world, the real Renya Karasuma should not be in this world.
So who is playing the role of "Karasuma Renya" during this period?
Who has enough prestige and ability to still be able to control the many ruthless characters in the organization after Karasuma leaves?
Toru Amuro has been working within the organization for many years, so he might have information about this.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo clicked on a missed call record and called Amuro Toru back.
beep--
beep-
Halfway through the second busy tone, the phone was picked up.
"Hello?"
"I'm Qin Zhibo, Touko, why do you call me so many times?"
Toru Amuro: "..."
Toru Amuro was a little uncomfortable with this sudden change of title.
But after being stunned for 0.5 seconds, he went straight to the point, "Did you go to the Rice Krispies Department Store today?"
really……
As soon as Qin Zhibo heard Amuro Toru's tone, he knew that he had been discovered, so he called to inquire.
So, he didn't beat around the bush anymore.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Toru Amuro snorted softly, with a little pride in his tone, "That person is indeed you..."
"What happened this afternoon? Why did you suddenly disguise yourself as Michael?"
"And I stayed in the mall for almost a whole day..."
Although Toru Amuro left the scene of the crime immediately, he has the investigative authority of the police and can read all the police investigation records at home.
At first, he thought Michael was being hunted by the organization and had to escape into the mall as a last resort.
But after reading the police investigation records, he changed his mind.
According to the witness's accusation, Michael, also known as Qin Zhibo, had been here since the mall opened, as if he was waiting for someone.
In addition, there is an unknown "disguise master" nearby, which further illustrates that the two seem to have some plan and purpose.
If you want to use yourself as bait to catch people from the organization, you will definitely not choose a public place with dense crowds.
Judging from other clues, Qin Zhibo was trying his best to protect the missing policeman.
Scotch also appeared to be targeting the police officer.
As a police officer and detective, his intuition told him that this incident was not simple, and there must be some shocking secret hidden behind it.
"What are you hiding from me?"
Amuro Toru's tone had a certain sense of oppression.
But Qin Zhibo gave a response after thinking for a while.
"I only knew in advance that the black organization would operate there through my own intelligence network, that's all."
"Your intelligence network?"
There was some doubt in Toru Amuro's eyes. Qin Zhibo had left the organization, how could he still leave behind the so-called intelligence network?
Could it be that besides him, there are other undercover organizations?
"Are there any other undercover people in the organization?" Toru Amuro asked tentatively.
"Haha..." Qin Zhibo chuckled, and then replied calmly: "Should I answer yes or no?"
"If the answer is yes, you will search for people who have been in contact with me; if the answer is no, you will then investigate the people who have been in contact with me."
Toru Amuro: "..."
Although he did not receive a positive answer, Toru Amuro was not angry.
Because the identities of all undercover agents are extremely important confidential information, the fewer people who know about it, the safer the undercover agents themselves are.
To be honest, Toru Amuro didn't want Qin Zhibo to reveal his identity to others casually.
This will make him very uneasy.
"Okay, if one day the organization sends me to clean up the interior, don't blame me for destroying your so-called intelligence network..."
"up to you."
Qin Zhibo remained unmoved.
Then, he changed the topic again.
"Although I can't tell you the source of the information, I can tell you a very important piece of information."
"intelligence?"
When Toru Amuro heard that there was free information, his eyes suddenly lit up and he became very interested, "Tell me and listen."
Qin Zhibo organized the language in his brain, and then said: "Actually, the boss organized recently is not the real boss."
Amuro Toru's expression changed. This information was a bit too high-end for him.
The information he originally thought he could give away for free was at most a small gossip about the members of the organization.
And this is not just gossip, this is about organizing the boss!
It’s really important information!
"……what do you mean?"
"Boss, not boss?"
Before Tohru Amuro could continue to speculate, Qin Zhibo explained solemnly: "As the name suggests, the boss of the organization has not been in the organization for some time recently."
"There is someone controlling the organization on behalf of the boss... As for who this person is, I think you might have some ideas?"
Amuro Toru's eyes were slightly lowered, and her mind was deep in thought.
However, the first thing he thought about was not the intelligence itself, but the source of the intelligence.
Sometimes, the source of information is more important than the information itself.
Otherwise, a wrong piece of intelligence will have very serious consequences, which is unacceptable to an intelligence officer.
With his rank in the organization for many years, he still has no access to information about the organization's boss.
How did Qin Zhibo get it?
Moreover, intelligence of this level is no longer just a piece of information. Just leaking it within the organization may cause the organization to shake.
Not to mention leaking it...
"Where did this information come from?"
After thinking for a few seconds, Toru Amuro asked carefully.
He must confirm the source of the information before he can think about it on the premise that "this information is correct."
Qin Zhibo heard Toru Amuro's words and understood why he was so cautious.
However, the source of this information is really strange, and it is very troublesome to explain and involves many things.
The Yi people, the parallel world, Tulpa, Mi Ge... these events are all related to this intelligence. Qin Zhibo really can't explain this series of events clearly.
"Since you don't believe it, then forget it..."
"Just pretend I didn't say anything and you don't know anything."
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up the phone first."
Qin Zhibo was about to end the conversation when Toru Amuro hurriedly spoke up.
"Wait a moment!"
His tone was a little excited, "Although I don't know where you got this information, it's always right to be careful in everything..."
"Also, if you ask me if the organization boss has any cronies around him, my answer is yes."
"As far as I know, that person's name is Rum, and he is currently the second-in-command in the organization."
Hearing this code name, Qin Zhibo couldn't help but frown.
This was not the first time he heard this code name. The last time he heard it was at the Angel House in the mountains of Gunma County.
The former owner of the Angel House, Gozo Isekawa, known as "The Bull" in the stock market, is Rum's biological father and his predecessor.
According to Yasuharu Haneda, the person who killed his son Koji Haneda was Renya Karasuma.
However, Qin Zhibo learned the truth by eavesdropping on the conversation between Karasuma Renye and Bermod. The person who killed Haneda Koji was actually Rum.
Given Karasuma Renya's status, he probably wouldn't take action personally just to kill a chess player.
Of course, the person who talked to Belmod was also an "impostor" after the real Renya Karasuma left.
If Rum is the second-in-command around Karasuma Renye, it is possible that he knows many of Karasuma Renye’s past events and can pretend to be Karasuma Renye’s headquarters for the organization...
"Have you ever seen this man named 'Rum'?"
"No……"
Toru Amuro told the truth, "But I heard some rumors about this man. Some said he was an old man, some said he was a strong man, and some said he was a man like a woman..."
A man like a woman?
Come true?
For some reason, Qin Zhibo's mind jumped to Cheng Shi.
But he quickly retracted his thoughts and said, "Okay, I understand."
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up the phone."
"Um……"
Amuro Toru responded weakly, and then the phone on the other end was hung up.
He put the phone in his hand on the table, then stood silently in front of the window, staring at himself reflected in the glass, his eyes quite solemn.
The boss of the organization is not the boss?
Rum…
Through Qin Zhibo's questions, he also understood that Qin Zhibo was suspecting that Rum might be pretending to be the boss of the organization.
And this afternoon, he happened to have a phone call with Rum.
Strictly speaking, it was through Scotch's phone call, and at Rum's suggestion, I had to help Scotch settle the matter.
The voice on the phone had a voice changer turned on, and he couldn't hear anything that could be used as a characteristic.
But from this, a bold hypothesis suddenly came to Toru Amuro's mind.
If Rum's status is so aloof, and almost no one in the organization has seen the true faces of him and the boss, can it be assumed that these two people are actually the same person?
Rum is the boss, and the boss is rum?
This is like setting up an imaginary enemy for everyone. The identity of the organization boss is too ostentatious and will be targeted by many people.
Instead, he molded himself into the second-in-command of the organization. His status was not affected, he could still command the entire organization, and he faced fewer enemies.
"Um……"
Toru Amuro groaned and gave up on this hypothesis.
First, assuming itself is the most dangerous behavior for an intelligence officer.
Secondly, although the identity of the organization's boss is mysterious, after years of investigation, various signs indicate that this person did exist a long time ago.
Finally, Qin Zhibo's opinion is that Rum may be an imitation of the boss, rather than the real boss.
Although Toru Amuro could not completely agree with Qin Zhibo's views, he was still a little inclined in his heart.
When the "answer" appears in front of you, no matter whether the answer itself is correct or not, it makes people feel "heart-scratching".
But now Scotch whiskey is very likely to become a breakthrough for his own investigation organization. This is something that is certain...
…
The next day, early morning.
Qin Zhibo woke up from the sofa in the living room of Cheng Shi's house and stretched out his waist.
After this night's rest, yesterday's fatigue is gone.
Today is another brand new day.
He got off the sofa sideways and first took a look at Yamada sleeping on the floor.
I saw Yamada lying on his back on the bed, maintaining a very standard posture, and it seemed that he was still dating "Gong Zhou".
Suddenly, Qin Zhibo thought of an interesting proposition.
Do Yithians dream of fantasy realms?
So far, Qin Zhibo has encountered some other species that are different from humans in the dreamland, but the most important ones are humans.
And there is no indication that other species in the real world can also enter the fantasy world through dreaming.
Of course, ghouls don't count.
By the way, it was Kuroba Kaito who entered the dreamland alone last night. I don’t know how he was busy alone...
While Qin Zhibo was thinking, the bedroom door a few meters away opened and a sleepy Chengshi came out.
"Why--"
"Mr. Qin, good morning..."
Chengshi yawned loudly, saw Qin Zhibo, said hello casually, then shook his body and walked slowly into the toilet.
Looking at Chengshi with her hair disheveled, Qin Zhibo not only did not feel that his little brother had become more masculine, but instead became more feminine.
This thing really depends on appearance, right?
When Chengshi came out of the toilet, his messy hair had been combed and his whole body had regained his energy.
"Wait a moment, I will make breakfast for you right now..."
At this time, Yamada also woke up, staring at the void in front of him with a dull look, as if he was reminiscing about something.
Qin Zhibo counted with his fingers. Could it be that this kid had a dream about "hehehe"?
This is completely localized...
But it doesn't matter what the dream is, the important thing is that he can accumulate his energy and don't let it out midway.
In addition, after thinking about it last night, Qin Zhibo decided to go to the hospital in person today to visit Chiba Kazunobu who survived the disaster.
