698. Meeting with Subaru Okiya
The cold winter seems to end from yesterday. The morning sun shines into the room, and the light dust in the air is full of warmth.
Conan changed out of his thick winter clothes and carefully put on his breathable pants. It will take two days for the redness and swelling on his butt to heal. He must pay special attention these two days.
Since he had decided to tell him the story, Conan was no longer sad.
However, he wanted to find a better opportunity to explain his own affairs to Xiaolan. After all, he couldn't even say it so casually.
Moreover, he was afraid of being beaten to death by Xiaolan...
"Ah..." Conan sighed.
Now the most urgent task is to confirm that Akai Hideichi's life and death is important. There is such an unstable danger around him, so he dare not let Xiaolan know his affairs.
He said hello and went out, then found a place where no one was called Akai Hideichi.
Before the plan was implemented, Akai Hideichi had already prepared his identity after his fake death. From his personal life to his relatives and friends, the life journey of more than 20 years has been very complete.
His voice changer was specially made by Dr. Agasa, and the disguise mask was also specially made by my mother.
Although I haven't seen it yet, Conan has roughly data on the image of Akai Hideichi.
If possible, it is best to have an appointment to have a conversation in person.
Hideichi Akai was watering the flowers and plants on the balcony. He didn’t have much to be busy with in his new identity, so he had a lot of extra work to do.
He took the watering pot and slowly sprinkled water on the green grass leaves. The grass leaves were tender and the water droplets were clear, making people feel comfortable.
Seeing Conan calling, he picked it up and continued to water the flowers.
"Why did you suddenly call? What happened?"
There was nothing unusual on the other end of the phone. Conan listened, and he couldn't tell whether this was true Hideichi Akai or someone else's disguise.
The voice changer that Dr. Agasa made for him could only disguise one sound and could not be changed into other sounds. But as long as you get these props that Akai Hide had prepared in early childhood, it would be a breeze to disguise as Akai Hide.
"Mr. Okiya, do you have time to come out to meet me? I have encountered some problems."
"Oh? When, where to go?"
Hideichi Akai had some guesses about Conan suddenly asked him to come out to meet him, but he still watered him slowly.
He has been paying attention to the movements of the Maori Detective Food Institute and Dr. Agasa's house for these days. The only way for them to go to Didan Primary School to study in the place where he lives.
He has not noticed any abnormal people appearing around these days. As for what they encounter outside, it is not something he can know at the first time.
Conan posted an address and then hung up the phone.
In a cold coffee shop, Conan ordered a glass of juice and quietly waited for the arrival of Akai Hideichi.
A light sound came from the door, and the coffee shop door was pushed open. A strange man with glasses squinting eyes came in. He first looked around, then walked straight to Conan to sit down.
There was only one waiter in the store. Because the business was deserted, the other party was sitting behind the bar reading a book. Seeing that a customer had arrived, he hurried out to entertain him.
Akai Hideichi's eyes swept around the waiter, then ordered a cup of coffee and a cake.
"You look so in good spirits."
"Haha..." Are you in good spirits? The pain is exchanged for?
Conan chose the softest chair, but he still couldn't stand the protest from his butt. Fortunately, he was patient and did not show any abnormality.
It's amazingly similar to the last time I met Zero.
The waiter quickly brought a cup of coffee, and Hideichi Akai picked up the spoon with his left hand and stirred it gently.
Conan's eyes fell on his left hand, and then moved from his left hand to his face. The other party's disguise was done well, and he could not tell whether the one behind the mask was Akai Hideichi.
Hideichi Akai naturally noticed Conan's look, and in just a moment, he confirmed something.
Conan is doubting his identity.
He picked up the coffee and took a sip, feeling that the sugar cube was too much, which was a bit sweet.
"What's the matter that can't be told on the phone?"
Conan looked at his movements, was silent for a while, and said, "I saw Shui Wulian yesterday."
The other party did not show any strangeness, but just opened his eyes slightly, waiting for his next sentence.
"She said, our plan failed and you were killed by Bourbon." Conan said this and quietly waited for Hideichi Akai's reply.
In the phone call from Akai Hideichi that day, he did not say this, but simply reported safety.
Hideichi Akai leaned on the back of the chair, his posture was quite relaxed. He smiled slightly, his lips raised, and his bookish face was a bit gentle and elegant.
"Yes, not." He put his hands together on his knees, a little curious about how much Conan knew.
"You called me out, probably not just want to ask this, right?"
Conan is not very used to the current Hideichi Akai now. After all, he is disguised as a person who is completely different from Hideichi Akai. Not only does he have different appearances, behavioral habits and temperaments, he has also changed accordingly.
Hideichi Akai was cold and serious, but Subaru Okiya was not. His eyes were narrowed most of the time, which greatly diluted the coldness of Hideichi Akai himself. With glasses, he had a more bookish look.
Even if he was a former acquaintance, he would not contact Okiya Subaru and Akai Hideichi at all.
"Can I believe you now?"
Conan did not directly ask Hideichi Akai if it was a question like Hideichi Akai, but instead used such a statement.
He believed that Hideichi Akai could understand what he meant.
"Are you doubting that I'm not me?"
"Yes." Conan did not hide it and admitted it generously.
"It seems you know Bourbon's identity." Hideichi Akai originally thought Tomori's identity should not have been known so soon, but he didn't expect Conan to know so soon.
"Just yesterday, I got the exact answer."
"I thought it would take you a while to know, after all, I don't think they have any plans to let you know."
This is not Akai Hideichi's illusion. Whether it is Mitsuka Kamikawa or Toru Amuro, his attitude towards Conan is similar, and he is regarded as a protected person rather than a collaborator.
The former does not need to know too much, while the latter needs to be honest.
They are the latter at present.
"You 'they' are also Uekawa Shun in addition to Tomori."
Conan didn't know what role Kazukawa Shun played in this matter, and he didn't even know whether he was involved, but he still planned to test it.
