Chapter 262 Tracking or Not
Chapter 263: Tracking or Not

Conan's phone call directly announced that I could no longer stay at home. Instead, I had to take a private plane back to Mika City. Although it was snowing heavily outside, it was only limited to the inland and near the two lands of Alcatraz. There was no snow on the sea, and the plane was flying smoothly.

After getting off the plane, Shiho and I went directly to the Beido Hotel. According to Conan, he saw Gin at the intersection of No. 365 Street with the children after school. At that time, Gin was walking from the opposite side of the road and got into a Porsche A. Conan sent the children away, touched the back of Gin's car, and took the opportunity to install a portable transmitter that the doctor had prepared for him in his car. I scolded him for this. I scolded him for being a fool and he would die without a burial place if he was found, but Conan said that he had carefully wiped off the fingerprints. Even if he was found, he would not be found out. He also overheard that Gin would go to the Beido Hotel at : to kill a mission target, so he called me directly to the Beido Hotel.

"Kaoru, this way!" On a street outside the Haido Hotel, Conan, who was sitting in the doctor's car, spotted me and Shiho walking over. "Huh? Why is Haibara here too?"

"Of course I'll come." Shiho said coldly.

"If you hadn't said on the phone that Gin mentioned the words 'that medicine', maybe I could have persuaded Shiho to go back." I said to Conan with an unhappy look.

"Um... sorry." Conan understood what I meant and apologized quickly. "I was a little anxious..."

"No, it's a good thing you told me. That's why I have a glimmer of hope that I can make an antidote as soon as possible." Shiho interrupted. "I'll wait here until Kaoru says it's safe enough, then I'll go in."

"Well, then you and the doctor will keep an eye on it. Kudo and I will go in. If there is any emergency, remember to call me. I will let you know when it is safe."

"Okay, be careful." Shiho nodded, and on the other side, Conan and I looked at each other and walked into the Haido Hotel.

"By the way, Xun, I didn't dare to tell anyone about this just now." After getting off the car, Conan whispered to me. "I... my transmitter was actually discovered by them."

"What?! Why didn't you tell me earlier!" My heart skipped a beat after hearing Conan's words. "Explain it to me in detail!"

"Well, actually..." Conan looked back at the doctor's car. "In fact, I heard the content of Gin's phone call, but it may be because the transmitter affected the signal of the phone. Soon Gin discovered the abnormality and got out of the car to check it out. Finally, he found the bug in the trunk."

"How did you get the bug into his trunk?" I asked puzzled.

"Well... before they got in the car and started it, I used the key to pry open a gap in the trunk along the rear cover and threw the bug in. Then I squatted down and waited for them to start the car. In order to hear more clearly, I amplified the signal band of the transmitter, but I didn't expect to be discovered because of this."

"...You really have guts to do this kind of thing." I shook my head helplessly, "I don't even dare to take such a risk."

"Ok?"

"The most I can do is plant a bomb under his car, then run away and kill him once and for all."

"......" Conan was speechless. "By the way, in addition to the person they wanted to kill at the memorial service at the Haido Hotel today, I also heard a code name called Pisco. Do you know him?"

"Pisco?" I raised my eyebrows, and in an instant a flood of memories flooded into my mind. Pisco, Gin, Haido Hotel. Isn't this the legendary main plot? Although more than ten years have passed, this memory has become increasingly vague in my mind, but after Conan said this, it made me remember a lot. I remember that Pisco was the member of the organization who was going to kill people at this memorial service, but I have forgotten what he looks like. He seems to be an old man. I should be able to find out when the time comes. After that, there is another contact of the organization inside, that is Vermouth, who shot me in the heart and helped me escape from the organization in a fake death. Vermouth, hehe, it's been several months since we last met. I wonder what Sister Bei is like now?
"Xun? Are you okay?" Conan asked tentatively when he saw that I didn't speak for a long time.

"Ah, it's okay." I came back to my senses and said to Conan seriously. "But Kudo, I think it's better for us to quit this pursuit." After thinking about it, I decided to give up this operation. Gin didn't say anything, and there was Sister Bei inside. Given her relationship with Sister Yukiko, it's not impossible that she had seen Kudo when he was a child. So if I break in now, even if I'm not discovered, Kudo is likely to be recognized by Sister Bei. As long as she investigates a little, she will naturally not escape Sister Bei's eyes. That's why I proposed to give up, but Conan's character...

"Why?" Conan asked in confusion. "We finally found the organization's trail, and you're telling me to give up?"

"If your transmitter is discovered by Gin, he will pay extra attention to monitoring this operation. Maybe other people in the organization will get involved. This is a very risky move, so I don't recommend you to continue."

"Does not suggest mean not to stop? Why?" Conan was very puzzled. "This is the first time I've heard such ambiguous words from you, who likes to issue absolute orders. You seem to know something? Or do you have some understanding of Pisco? Is he very powerful?"

"I don't know Pisco, so I'm worried. There are many talented people in the organization, who knows if Pisco is a fool or an elite." I said perfunctorily to Conan. In fact, the only reason I don't want Kudo to be involved in this incident is that Sister Bei is involved. I'm not really worried about the rest. But with Kudo's temper, it would be strange if he would let the murder case go. So I'm still thinking whether to follow the original plot and let Kudo and Sister Bei meet. Since Shiho is not involved, I'm not worried about safety issues. At least it's no problem to take Kudo and escape from here away from everyone's eyes and ears.

"I think it's necessary to take this risk." Conan didn't force his way in, and he discussed with me. "Although Gin and Pisco will appear here, in order to destroy the organization as soon as possible, I think it's necessary to take this risk. Besides, we are all smaller now, and there is something wrong with your body. Even if you meet someone from the organization, you may not be recognized. So I think this risk is worth taking."

"Have you already made up your mind that I can get you out even in the worst case scenario, so that's why you're saying this?" I looked at Conan unhappily. He knew my abilities, and he also knew that getting out of this situation would not be a problem for me, so he wanted to continue this pursuit.

"Hehe, so Xun, I'm going to rely on you this time regarding safety issues." Conan looked trusting.

"The safest way is to give up this operation." I emphasized again. "Don't worry, I will be careful." After saying that, Conan ignored me and turned to walk into the Haido Hotel.

"...Alas." Watching Conan leave, I couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that this hurdle is hard to get over, but this is a good opportunity to test Sister Bei's reaction and see if she recognizes Kudo's childhood appearance."

Following Conan's footsteps, I walked to the lobby of the Rice Flower Hotel. As expected of a memorial service for a film and television director, none of the attendees were of low status, ranging from professional writers to asset tycoons. Almost all the top figures in various professions appeared here.

"Tsk, because it's a memorial service, everyone is wearing all black clothes, how can we find them? Everyone looks suspicious." Conan's brows began to knot as he walked into the memorial service. Everyone here was wearing black clothes, and it was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack to find who was from the organization among so many people. "Xun, did you find anything?"

"Hmm..." I looked around at the people present. "Novelist Nanjo Yuka. Baseball team owner Sanpei Yasuo. Economic magnate Masuyama... Ah, I found it, Tsuchiguchi Shigehiko."

"Hmm? You mean the congressman suspected of taking bribes?" Conan followed my gaze towards the gate. He soon found the entrance to the center surrounded by reporters. "Well, according to what Gin said on the phone, he will be here around six o'clock. And the target is also the person the police are going to arrest, so the person who is surrounded by reporters now should be an important target, right? Is that what you want to say, Xun? Eh? What are you doing?" Conan turned around and saw that I was sending something on my phone.

"Nothing. Let me check the task list." I answered calmly.

"Ah? This congressman has a mission issued? Could it be issued by the organization!?" Conan became alert.

"I don't know, but this guy named Tsunoguchi Shigehiko is also my mission target."

"Protection?"

"Kill."

"Hey! You!" Conan angrily pressed my shoulders. "We are here to save people, not to kill people!"

"Wrong." I said calmly. "I am here to help you find clues about the organization. This person is just a convenient target for me. If I can kill him, I will kill him. And you, Kudo, think clearly about what you are here for!"

"I..." Conan was choked by me. "Even if I came here to find clues about the organization, isn't this person the clue now!" Conan retorted. "Gin said on the phone that he would kill him before the police caught him, which is enough to prove that he is a member of the organization."

"Kudo, I suggest you calm down and think about the problem." I frowned. "You should know that my mission is to clear obstacles for the government, and this congressman named Tunkou is criticized because of bribery. Have you ever thought that this congressman took money from the organization and did things for them, and was discovered by the media, so the organization wanted to silence him?"

"This..." Conan was stunned again by my words.

"Of course, what you said is not impossible." I continued. "But I can put this here. Even if you rescued him today and caught Pisco who wanted to kill him, you would not be able to learn anything from it. Instead, it would expose you and hurt the people around you."

"So you mean I can only stand by and watch? Then what's the point of me coming here!" Conan said angrily.

"To be precise, there is no point. That's why I advise you not to get involved in this mess again." I stared at Conan's angry eyes and said sternly. "The only reason you came here is to find Pisco, then knock him down with your tranquilizer gun, find APTX-4869 from him, and then kill him. Or hand him over to the police without anyone noticing. Of course, the charges and so on must be arranged in advance by you."

"..." After saying that, Conan fell silent. On the one hand, he needed to calm down and carefully analyze what he was going to do. On the other hand, he also had to think about what I said and whether this person should be saved.

"If you're still undecided, then check the information about this swallow. Maybe you'll get something. I'll go around and keep an eye on the sentry to prevent Gin from bringing people in." After that, I ignored Conan and walked out of the venue. Because before I could act, I still had a lot of things to deal with. For example, surveillance. For example, Vermouth.

　A few days ago, I saw a comment saying that I called Conan "Kudo" at one moment and "Conan" at another. It was so confusing. Then I broke up with him. Actually, I want to ask, if you know that it is the same person, isn't it over? I don't know what's so tangled about this.

　　But, in fact, why don’t I have a unified name? It’s very simple. . If you try to understand the situation a little, you may get a good answer. . Well, Conan when there are many people around. Kudo when you are sure there is no one around. Conan when you answer the phone and don’t know if there is anyone around. . Kudo when you are alone on the video. The small Conan I see at ordinary times. . Kudo when he grows up in the future. . When describing the inner activities, depending on the situation, the names of Kudo and Conan will be interchanged. . I think this is the only way to distinguish them. And there will be a sense of substitution. You said that it would be awkward to point at the enlarged one and shout Conan. When chatting with the characters, I say Conan when I talk about Kudo. How much effort, so I think it is necessary to interchange the names, that’s it. Don’t worry about it anymore, it doesn’t make much sense, anyway, it’s just two words. Or just pretend you didn’t see it? (laugh~)

　　ps: I heard that chapter 71 was blocked? I don't have any problem with it. So readers, please leave a comment and let me see if you can see it.
