Chapter 439: Accept the situation
Chapter 439: Accept it
"Moximoxi, Xiaoxun?" The doctor's voice came slowly from the other end of the phone.

"Where is the doctor?" I yelled at him. "I called you but you didn't answer, and I couldn't find you. Now you're home!" After I thought the doctor was missing, I called the three sisters of the Ning family and asked them to hide near the doctor's house. I also prepared for the worst. But less than half an hour later, the doctor called me from home.

"Ah, sorry. Because Aijun's illness was so serious, I took her out first."

"Tell me the details!" At this stage, the doctor can still answer the phone, which proves that his life is not in danger. However, the person who disappeared at the scene made me alert. At this moment, is Judy already sitting in the doctor's house?

"At the beginning, I took Aijun to see Officer Takagi. Because Officer Takagi was busy with a case, he asked his colleague to take us out first. But at the intersection, we saw a serious car accident and the car couldn't move at all." The doctor told the story.

"At this time, we saw Teacher Judy. She said her car happened to be parked on the other side of the company street, so she took us away from the back of the street."

"Then why didn't you go to the hospital but went home?" I continued to ask.

"Well..." The doctor was a little embarrassed, but he still said it. "The nearest hospital to us requires crossing a bridge, but as luck would have it, the bridge is under construction due to an accident. So..."

"Hiss..." A chill rushed directly into my brain. I had already anticipated the worst outcome.

"So, I called Dr. Niide."

“…Fuck!”

"Hmm? Xiaoxun, what did you say?"

"It's okay. I just asked you a question in Chinese." I reached out and pinched my brows to relieve my headache.

"So now Teacher Judy and Dr. Arata are at your house, right?"

“This… yes.”

"I... forget it." I rubbed my hair and almost pulled out a handful of it.

The doctor was a really good teammate this time. He took Vermouth and Judy home directly.

Fortunately, the two of them went together, otherwise the doctor might have died by now.

The bridge is under construction? How could it be so coincidental that it was under construction when we wanted to go to the hospital? It was because Conan was exposed on the TV, and the FBI and Vermouth who knew about it happened to see it! That's why there was such a drama. I'm sure that even if the doctor doesn't find Shinde, he will soon appear in the doctor's sight for various reasons.

"It's completely exposed... I can't even go back to Alcatraz this time." I hung up the phone and sat on the ground helplessly.

Vermouth and the FBI's invasion arrived as expected. Now the doctor's residence has been exposed, and Shiho's whereabouts have been seen by them. At this stage, if Vermouth were to tell Ling about Shiho's whereabouts, I estimate that Ling would come to the door within three days.

But now the FBI has also come here, which means it is very serious. If the FBI came to the doctor's house alone, I estimate that they would soon target me and take action.

But now the FBI and the organization Vermouth have arrived here at the same time, which has created a delicate balance.

The FBI now suspects that this Tomoaki Aide is a member of the organization in disguise, so they have been keeping an eye on him, while Shuichi Akai is only unilaterally tracking Shiho's whereabouts.

The only one who doesn't know the truth is Vermouth, who has disguised herself as Tomoaki Aida. If she really lets Ling take over here, the FBI will quickly control Ling and even touch Vermouth and arrest her directly.

But on the other hand, if she hadn't told Ling what was happening now, perhaps this incident would have taken a strange turn.

Finally, there is the issue of my deployment.

Now that both sides are invading at the same time, I can no longer send Shiho back to Elcatraz, it would be very dangerous. If I am not careful, the existence of Elcatraz will be exposed, and if I do so, Shiho's life may not be guaranteed.

Exposing El Karlas is equivalent to exposing everything about me. The organization will rush over and devour us alive by any means necessary. At this stage, even with Xiaoya, an artificial intelligence, we do not have enough means of defense. Once the supply line is cut off by the organization, the organization can trap us to death on the island.

As for hoping for government cooperation or assistance from the FBI, it would be more practical to think about how to preserve the fire.

I sent a text message to the three sisters of the Ning family to withdraw immediately to avoid alerting the enemy. On the other hand, I couldn't tell Conan about what was happening over there, otherwise it would cause a bigger butterfly effect.

"Xun, where is the doctor?" After a while, Conan, who had completed the case, ran over. Seeing me sitting on the ground dejectedly, Conan's heart ached.

"Go home."

"Eh?"

"Teacher Judy and Dr. Arata are here too."

"What?!" Conan was particularly shocked. He had some guesses about Judy. But he was not sure of Judy's true identity. This was also related to the fact that I did not tell him about it at the time. Although he could discuss this issue with me, Conan had been wary of Judy since the last time he and Hattori visited her at night. He did not tell anyone.

"Anyway, the doctor and Shiho are both well at home now, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

"But, but she..."

"What?" I turned my head to look at Conan.

"No, nothing." Conan shook his head quickly and swallowed back what he was about to say. In that case, let's go back. I'll go to the doctor, you go home first.

"I also need to go."

"Now is not the time to check on you!" I didn't give Conan a good look. "I know you must have some thoughts about someone or something in your heart, and you also want to use your own methods to deal with the Black Organization and those people and things that threaten us. But Kudo, I must tell you. Some things are not as simple as you think!" "What about you!" Conan did not show weakness, "How many things have you not told me!"

"..I admit, I do know some things." I didn't lie again. "But for everyone's safety, I didn't say it. I think something is about to happen. Then things will turn around, and it's time for us to attack!"

"So, do you know who is following us?"

"I know. But it's better for me to handle this matter."

"Why?!"

"Because the FBI and I are sworn enemies! Sacrificing me is better than exposing you!"

"..." Conan fell into a brief silence.

"You mean... besides Akai Shuichi, there is another group of FBI?"

"What do you say?"

"..." After saying this, Conan fell silent again, but from the gleam of light that flashed in his eyes, he should have connected some things together perfectly.

"I'm leaving, you go home by yourself." Seeing that Conan didn't say anything, I turned around and walked towards the exit.

"Be careful, and don't offend them too easily."

"As long as I'm not exposed or they don't find me." I left a word to Conan and took the elevator to the upper floors.

After going out of the gate, the black Chevrolet that had just parked nearby was no longer there, and the foreigners around were also nowhere to be seen. They must have been taken somewhere else by Judy or Akai Shuichi and the others.

Without taking the car out of the necklace, I waved and called a taxi to go to the doctor's residence. Finally, it stopped at the door of the doctor's house.

Since he's already been exposed, he might as well just walk in openly, either in Shiho's way or in a way that prepares him to confront Vermouth and Judy head-on.

"Xiao Ai, I'm here to see you!" As I walked into the doctor's house, I shouted directly inside.

"Shh...Keep your voice down, Glod Kid." Judy gestured to me to keep quiet as soon as I entered the room. "Your little Ai has gone to bed."

"Teacher Judy, why are you here?" The doctor was facing away from Judy when he called me just now, so I can continue to play dumb here.

"Oh~ I saw the doctor was frantically looking for someone to help the girl, so I volunteered to drive her back. I originally wanted to go to the hospital, but unexpectedly the only bridge was blocked." As she spoke, Judy held her forehead exaggeratedly.

"Then, we found Dr. Shinde to help here and treat Ai."

"Is that so? Is Ai feeling better now?"

"Yeah, she's fine now, she just went to bed." As we were talking, Tomoaki Niide came out of the room. "It's okay, it's just a common cold, but this little girl doesn't seem to have a strong resistance, you have to take good care of her from now on."

"Hi~~" I said exaggeratedly. At the same time, I secretly sighed in my heart, and I was 100% exposed. Such natural words, as classmates, the only one who gave the task of taking care of Ai to me instead of the doctor was Vermouth.

"So, where is Mr. Shinde going next?" I asked inconspicuously.

"Haha, of course I'm going home. I still have some work to do. If Ai's illness recurs, remember to call me again."

"Hi~ Thank you for your help!" I bowed to Aizawa Tomoaki.

"Then let's leave first, Teacher Judy."

"Ok~" Teacher Judy made a gesture, then took Aida Tomoaki's arm and walked towards the door. "GlodKid, take good care of Ai~"

"I know~" Watching the two of them leave in harmony, I couldn't help but curse inwardly, it would be better if they just fought as soon as they went out.

"Xiaoxun, I..."

"Okay, Doctor, stop talking." I waved to the Doctor and handed him the phone. "Anyway, I'll check on Ai first. Doctor, please go shopping first. I'll make dinner for you."

Looking at the words "Beware of eavesdropping devices" written on my phone, the doctor frowned.

"Oh, okay. What are we having for dinner?"

"Ai's body hasn't recovered yet, so just have some porridge. We can just have a simple curry."

"Okay, I'll go buy the materials now." After that, the doctor returned the phone to me, packed up his things and ran out.

"Huh..." I let out a long breath and walked to Shiho's bed. Looking at Shiho who had fallen into a deep sleep, my brows could not be relaxed.

After searching around the bed, I found a button-sized bug in the corner of the bed. Not only that, I found another one on the table leg.

"Good fellow, you haven't been here long, but you've cast quite a few nets." I couldn't help but laugh secretly. Well, let me see what kind of storm you can stir up!
