Chapter 23 Conan: I didn't mess with anyone
The holiday at the end of the month passed quickly, and Bai Yexiu was destined to go on a business trip.
【Izu】
Sweating profusely, Bai Yexiu arrived at the entrance of a hotel.
He was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and matching long trousers, unusually not his trench coat that he used to hide a lot of weapons—because it was too hot.
Left with no other choice, he had to put the gun in the luggage he had brought.
The first task on this month's to-do list is to go on a business trip to Izu to find an "Izu Detective Club" because the organization has heard rumors about the Dark Baron virus and sent Bai Yexiu to investigate the truth of the matter.
Of course, Bai Yexiu had foreseen what would happen here as soon as he arrived, so he considered this mission as a free trip, and thus he was using the alias Long Ze Liuye.
After all, he's the man who has the script in his hands... Ah, no, I'm getting off-topic...
Just as I got near the counter, I ran into Kogoro Mouri.
"What?! You're saying you only paid half the money?" Kogoro Mouri exclaimed.
Bai Yexiu silently stood behind him and took out a black card from his pocket.
This was money he had stolen from Gin's wallet a few days ago to blackmail him. He told Gin, "If you make me work overtime again, I'll spend all the money in this card."
Although the extortion seemed childish, Bai Yexiu escaped the fate of continuing to work overtime and also obtained a black card from Gin.
"Brother Longze?" Conan and Ran Mouri walked over together, looking at Bai Yeshu with a puzzled expression: "Why are you here again?"
"What? Another brat? And you brat, you only paid half the bill for the restaurant!" Kogoro Mouri glanced at Hakuya Xiu, then leaned close to Conan's face and said.
Bai Yexiu patted Conan's head kindly: "Of course I'm here on vacation."
Conan glanced over and saw the black card that Bai Yexiu was about to swipe in his other hand.
So he really is a rich kid on vacation... But speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen Ryuzawa in short sleeves, even though he's still dressed all in black...
Conan glanced at Bai Yexiu's clothes. Then, Conan noticed that Long Ze was very thin and had very fair skin, almost to the point of being pale.
Suddenly, a scene flashed through Conan's mind. It was in the hospital, where he brushed past a boy in a black trench coat. The boy gave him an extremely dangerous feeling, and Conan even felt the same gaze from Gin when they made eye contact.
Thinking back carefully, the boy's skin was the same, and his build was the same; the only difference was his appearance and hairstyle.
Conan stared intently at Bai Yeshu, wondering if it was possible that Long Ze was the suspicious boy he had brushed past at the hospital that day.
But he quickly dismissed that possibility. He felt that Long Ze wasn't a bad person, and besides, Long Ze had shown up at the hospital that day; perhaps it was just a matter of resemblance.
Conan comforted himself with this thought.
"That must be Duke Dark Night." A man with side-swept bangs appeared.
Kogoro Mouri was startled and it took him a while to react. The man with the side-swept bangs then recorded a number of seconds on the computer.
Then, the man with the side-swept bangs looked at Bai Yexiu, who was swiping his card at the counter. When he spoke to Kogoro Mouri earlier, this boy seemed completely oblivious, as if he hadn't heard a thing. And judging by appearances, this boy seemed to be with the other man.
After swiping his card, Bai Yexiu looked at Kogoro Mouri and asked, "Uncle Mouri, are you here on vacation too?"
"Then we'll have to ask this kid." Kogoro Mouri picked up Conan like a chick and held him up in front of Byakuya Shuu.
"Hahaha..." Conan laughed awkwardly and explained what had happened.
Meanwhile, Bai Yexiu was also observing the people around him. Gradually, the scene began to overlap with the script in his memory.
It seems he'll get to watch another spectacle this time. Since it's a "publicly funded trip," he just needs to participate and enjoy the show to get by.
"Wait, why is there an extra person? And shouldn't it be two PhDs and a little girl in elementary school?" A sexy and beautiful older woman said with a frown.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yexiu knew that the sexy older sister named Kamijou Hideko had included him, so he quickly turned around and waved his hand to clarify, "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm not in a tour group. I'm just here on vacation and happened to run into Uncle Mori."
"Mouri?" A guess popped into Hideko's mind.
But Kogoro Mouri had already left by then, and Ran Mouri enthusiastically explained from the side, "It's because they couldn't come that we had to come instead. The person who was here just now was my father. He's not a doctor, he's a detective."
This time, not only was Hideko Kamijou shocked, but the entire tour group was shocked.
Meanwhile, Bai Yexiu was lost in thought, pondering how to introduce an "accomplice" to increase the difficulty of the case.
Okay, I can't think of anything...
Bai Yexiu decided to give up for the time being, let him get some sleep first, and then act according to the situation.
……
As soon as Bai Yexiu came out of the bathroom, he saw a person dressed as the Dark Baron approaching Conan, who was leaning on the railing.
Wow, I just came out and saw something so exciting.
Then, Bai Yexiu heard Conan shout loudly from the balcony. Clearly, Conan had been pushed off.
Seeing the person dressed as the Dark Baron turn and leave, Bai Yexiu turned and hid in the restroom. But at that moment, another wicked thought arose in his mind…
Completely soaked, Conan soon ran upstairs. He stared at the empty balcony and toilet, lost in thought, but then his vision suddenly went completely white.
Conan felt someone put a white cloth over his head.
Conan: ?!
Just as he was about to tear the white cloth off, he felt someone pick him up and then throw him out.
A strong sense of foreboding rose in Conan's heart, and then the terrifying feeling of falling that he had just experienced when the Dark Baron pushed him down the stairs returned.
Conan felt himself falling, and the white cloth that was covering his vision was blown away by the wind as he fell.
Conan then discovered that he was indeed falling.
Conan: ? *^…
He fell from the balcony again—but this time was different; this time he was thrown down…
thump.
Conan fell into the swimming pool again.
"Hey little brother, how did you fall down again?" a passerby asked, posing a thought-provoking question.
Our culprit, Bai Yexiu, walked out onto the balcony with a smile.
Could it be the Dark Baron again?
Conan was completely baffled. If the second time it was the Dark Baron, why would he use a white cloth to block his view first, when he clearly saw the Dark Baron the first time he was pushed down?
He sensed that the second person might be someone else! Conan rushed back to where he had just been standing.
There was complete silence here, as if nothing had ever happened.
That person might be lying in ambush here!
Conan cautiously scanned his surroundings, but suddenly his perspective was completely obscured by white light.
This time, he was covered by a white cloth, but it was much larger than the previous one, completely covering his entire body.
Before Conan could react, he felt a sudden dizziness, as if he had been lifted up.
After struggling for a few moments, he was thrown out again...
Conan: &^…
Several passersby were happily playing in the pool when they looked up and saw something covered in white cloth fall from the balcony.
There was another thud.
With the help of passersby, Conan finally managed to break free of the white cloth.
"Hey, little kid? What are you doing..."
The passerby was speechless.
He no longer knew how to comment on the child who had fallen into the pool three times in a row.
Bai Yexiu felt that the tablecloth was more useful; the bath towel he used the first time was a bit small and was blown away by the wind.
He nodded to himself, took off his gloves, and left immediately.
Conan climbed out of the pool with the tablecloth in his hand. Looking at it, he felt a surge of anger.
Conan: I didn't offend anyone.
On the other side, in a corridor, a waiter who had just finished using the restroom looked at the empty corner of his trolley and muttered, "That's strange, where did the large tablecloth and bath towel I brought go?"
