Chapter 311 Two People Talk
Conan Edogawa, a detective?
Shuichi Akai's only remaining right eye was fixed on Conan.
The other person's behavior was nothing like that of a child, and his statement that he was also fighting against the Black Organization...
Shuichi Akai observed Conan's appearance and realized that he seemed to have seen the child before.
In other words, perhaps like Shiho Miyano, she was a member who shrunk in size and betrayed the organization?
Strangely, he didn't have much of an impression of what the little detective looked like when he grew up.
Shuichi Akai was calculating in his mind when he pulled out the COP pistol from his pocket and aimed it at Conan.
"I don't know why you think I'm an FBI agent, but I think you've misunderstood something, little detective."
"..."
Facing the gun barrel, Conan squinted, shrugged nonchalantly, turned his back, walked away, sat back down in his chair, and started scrolling the mouse on his own.
"Stop pretending. Instead of trying to scare me, you should hurry up and find the hidden members of the organization."
"……interesting."
Shuichi Akai genuinely didn't understand why Conan was so fearless.
And how could he be so certain that he was an FBI agent?
Shuichi Akai put the gun back in his pocket and approached Conan, asking:
"How exactly did you know my identity...? Also, I've already checked the surveillance footage of this building, and there are no members of the organization there. You can check the surveillance footage of the other building."
Conan nodded and then switched the surveillance camera to another building.
While switching the cameras, Conan said:
"Qi Ming told me that, based on current observations, you are the only one who fits the FBI's one-eyed sniper criteria."
"Although you might be the organization's ace sniper, since Qi Ming specified the physical characteristics of the FBI agent, he should have specified the physical characteristics of the organization's agent as well, but he didn't."
Conan turned around and smiled at Shuichi Akai.
"Besides, even if I guess wrong, it's fine. Who cares about a child's game?"
Conan's confidence wasn't just based on his own speculation; he had also considered what to do if the person was a bad guy.
Real-time video recording.
He only recently discovered that his glasses had this function, and it's currently active, connected to Professor Agasa's phone.
Professor Agasa has been keeping a close eye on my situation.
If things go wrong, Conan can threaten the other party with the video, saying things like, "If you kill me, this video will be uploaded to the internet," and so on.
This is one of Conan's usual tricks.
Low emotional intelligence: reckless.
High emotional intelligence: Taking the initiative.
However, speaking of glasses, Conan actually consulted Professor Agasa about the current state of glasses.
Despite Dr. Agasa's high level of scientific research skills, this scientist who developed Android 3.0 cannot understand how Android 15 works.
"...Who are you talking about? Qi Ming."
Shuichi Akai's pupils contracted slightly.
This confirmed Shuichi Akai's suspicion that the other party was a former member of the organization.
Moreover, Qi Ming actually told Conan his information. Could it be that the two of them have a good relationship?
No, no!
The key point is, isn't Qi Ming already dead?
"Ah."
Conan turned to look at Shuichi Akai's expression.
Seeing his surprised expression, Conan felt that this person was also a pitiful person who had been harmed by Qi Ming.
As soon as Shuichi Akai said that, Conan suddenly widened his eyes.
"But Qi Ming is dead, isn't that what he told you before?"
"……what?"
Conan's lips twitched.
He had a feeling that the FBI's hatred for Qi Ming was greater than he imagined.
They're already fantasizing that Qi Ming is dead.
"Who told you Qi Ming is dead? That guy was just being sarcastic to you."
"You're being sarcastic or sarcastic towards me?"
Shuichi Akai murmured to himself, then thought of Ai Haibara, who had directly pointed out his identity, and the person who had impersonated Shiho Miyano...
So that person was actually Qi Ming in disguise?!
So, the so-called clones even share consciousness?
Shuichi Akai inexplicably thought of a movie made in their country.
Robots from the future are able to upload their consciousness to the network and then be reborn by borrowing other bodies.
Shuichi Akai was increasingly confused about what Qi Ming was all about.
"You must be someone who knows so much, you're probably not a simple character, are you?"
Shuichi Akai rubbed his temples and said to Conan.
After a long silence, Conan, under Shuichi Akai's gaze, finally spoke:
"My true identity is Shinichi Kudo."
"Qi Ming drugged me with some kind of drug, which turned me into what I am now."
Perhaps because he had already set a precedent with Ran Mouri, or perhaps because Conan had finally found a like-minded companion, he revealed his identity.
Besides, he might have to rely on Shuichi Akai a lot in the future, and the other party would inevitably discover that things were unusual, so it's better to say it sooner rather than later.
Kudo Shinichi?
Shuichi Akai found the name somewhat familiar.
He stared intently at Conan's appearance, then reached out and took off Conan's glasses.
"Ha, should I call it a coincidence or some kind of guidance from fate? I never expected that our meeting again would be so similar to the first time."
Looking at Conan's face after he took off his glasses, Shuichi Akai finally matched the face with a memory from deep within his mind.
"Eh?"
Conan blinked, looking somewhat confused.
Could it be that I met Shuichi Akai when I was in New York?
Shuichi Akai waved his hand when he saw Conan's confused look.
"Nothing, don't worry about it."
It must have been about ten years ago when the Akai family came to Japan for a visit.
Conan, no, Shinichi Kudo, stepped forward and played a guessing game because of something Shuichi Akai said unintentionally, revealing that his true identity was a circus clown.
Although I made a mistake back then, this time the other party correctly identified me...
But if he's not a member of the organization, why does he know so much about Qi Ming?
Conan scratched his head when he saw Shuichi Akai's somewhat calm expression.
What's going on? I've revealed my true identity twice, and these people seem to be...
They didn't seem too surprised?
Aren't you curious about my current situation?
"Hmm? What kind of reaction do you expect from me?"
"No, it's nothing."
Although Conan wanted to learn some information about the organization from Shuichi Akai, there were more important things to do at the moment.
Conan's gaze fell on the monitor screen, and he repeatedly turned the cameras around.
However, no one with abnormalities was found in the live video feed.
Conan rubbed his chin and switched the surveillance footage back to playback.
Finally, at some point, two familiar figures appeared in the skyscraper lobby.
"These two people are... Vodka and Gin?"
Upon hearing Conan's words, Shuichi Akai immediately looked at the screen.
The surveillance footage shows two men wearing black top hats and dressed in black walking in through the main gate.
The fat and thin duo could only be vodka and gin.
Based on the current time period, Conan continued to review the surveillance footage, but he could only see the two people entering the skyscraper.
"They avoided the cameras, which isn't too surprising."
"However, something seems a bit off."
