Chapter 232: Belmode: Really Can't Be Teased
Chi Feichei stood in the Rear, his Muzzle aimed at Belmode.
Belmode froze in the Original Place.
She couldn't figure out when Chi Feichei had discovered her Trace, and moreover, gotten One Step Ahead by circling In the Alley without her sensing it?
The Key was, she was currently wearing Kudo Shinichi's Face. If she acted rashly and showed the Intention to Counterattack, she would be Injured even if she didn't die, which wouldn't be worth it.
Chi Feichei also remained in Silence, patiently waiting for The Other Party to react first.
"Alright, alright," Belmode recovered her original Voice, tilting her head slightly, "I lost... Raki, when did you circle around?"
Being able to Guess that the person who came was 'Raki' could initially prove her Identity.
"Belmode?"
Chi Feichei pretended he had just recognized Belmode, Intentionally hesitated for a moment before putting down his Gun. "What are you up to?"
Belmode Turned Around, glanced at the Gun, knowing that Chi Feichei still hadn't lowered his guard. She Tore Off her Disguise and said calmly and naturally, "I discovered something worth paying attention to and wanted to do an Investigation."
Saying So, Chi Feichei really couldn't press the matter...
After All, Belmode was also Directly Contacted by The Boss. What she investigated, Whether it was The Boss's Instruction, and Whether others could know, were all Secrets.
Chi Feichei indeed didn't Ask what she was investigating. He Tore Off his Fake Face. "Then today's Kudo Shinichi..."
"Sorry," Belmode smiled, "I needed to impersonate that High School Detective for a bit. It seems I caused you a Misunderstanding."
Uh-huh... In the blink of an eye, today's three Kudo... no, adding Conan impersonated by Haibara Ai, four Kudo, all four were fake?
Chi Feichei found it amusing in his Heart, but his expression remained calm. He put away his Gun, Lowered his Head and took out his Cigarette Case, his Tone was Indifference. "Your Acting Skill is really not bad. You even deceived Ran."
A slender, fair Hand appeared in his Line of Sight. Two fingers, One Step Ahead of him, took a Cigarette that was completely Black with a Silver cigarette holder.
Belmode took a Cigarette, put it to her Mouth without hesitation, took out her Lighter, and after lighting it, her smile carried Confidence and Mystery. "Of Course, didn't you deceive her too Initially? I'm an Actress who has been on the Big Screen. Deceiving a Girl is very Relaxation. But..."
Chi Feichei was a bit surprised by Belmode's actions Before. After pausing for a moment, he took a Cigarette himself and lit it, put away the Cigarette Case, and Turned his Head to Look Towards Belmode.
"Raki, do you... hate me?" Belmode tilted her head and looked intently at Chi Feichei, like a Child persistently seeking an Answer.
At this moment, her eyes actually showed a hint of childlike innocence.
Chi Feichei glanced at her. His Expression didn't change in the slightest. "Don't hate."
He really didn't hate Belmode. He was Just wary and Guarding Against her, Worrying that Belmode would mess up his Matters.
"Really? Then do you want to know..." Belmode just leaned forward, intending to move closer, when she saw Chi Feichei Directly Turn Around and Leave.
"Since nothing is wrong, I'll leave first."
Chi Feichei walked towards the deep part of the Alley Without Turning his Head.
He was at the Age of vigor and vitality. Maintaining Reason was not Easy. Please don't tease randomly.
And Belmode was Not That Kind Of Woman who would suffer a Loss. She definitely teases and then runs. He cannot afford to provoke her...
Belmode was stunned for a moment, then laughed. But her Gaze carried a hint of solemnity. She Leaned Against the Wall, Looked Towards the Kudo Family Villa in the Nightscape not far away, her slender fingers held the Cigarette to her lips.
Young is young, but he really can't be teased...
As a dangerous individual, he often loiters around the people she wants to protect, and she has no way to Solve or interfere. What to do...
Directly reminding Kudo Shinichi or Mouri Ran also won't work. If she says it, it's betraying the Organization. It would be bad if The Boss found out. Moreover, it seems Raki's Interpersonal Relationship are handled very well. Even if she reminds them, she might Not Necessarily be Trusted...
Headache.
...
After leaving the Alley, Chi Feichei found his Car in the Vicinity, Inspected it, drove, and went Home.
Belmode is really good to Kudo Shinichi. She climbed walls at Midnight, used Disguise, and took on Matters.
He Thinks... the Organization was a Coffee Table, covered in tragedies (a pun on 'cups').
Belmode was pouring outwards. Clearly, when the Organization is finished, her fate won't be good either, but she still worked Hard to protect the enemy, walking towards Self-destruction.
Gin worked Hard to provide Money, don't know how much Funds were provided, supported how many Undercover Agents sent by others. Sometimes he even felt guilty. This is fundamentally Not That Kind Of 'Black Organization', but a 'One Person Black Organization'.
The remaining Undercover Agents helped contribute effort. Even if they slack off, there's a limit. Moreover, they still fight amongst themselves. What's going on?
In an Organization, Probably people who don't Think about anything like Vodka are relatively Relaxation. The one who ultimately benefits is The Boss.
At least the Organization is developing, that's Correct. It has Money if it wants Money, it has people if it wants people, even Blood was drawn if it wanted Blood...
Cough, Getting back to the main topic.
In his prediction, after he discovered the Matter that 'Kudo Shinichi is still alive', Belmode would have three Reactions.
One is to be frank with him, confess that she wants to Protect Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Ran. He would also take the Opportunity to join Belmode's Faction. After 'discovering' Haibara Ai is Sherry, discuss with Belmode. If they are to be protected, protect them all.
The Benefit is, the two of them Cooperate in the future, which can maximize the Safety of Conan, Mouri Ran, and Haibara Ai.
The drawback is, Belmode can Probably Guess that he doesn't put the Organization first.
But, this Choice is Unlikely.
Belmode won't Trust him that Easily. Moreover, it seems Belmode believes he will be loyal to the Organization and doesn't dare to be frank with him.
The second Reaction Belmode would have is Before he reports to the Organization, find a Method to kill him, Silencing him.
But Belmode can't find a Reason for the Organization to deal with him. At least he's not a Member the Organization would Easily abandon. And Belmode herself can't guarantee she can really kill him by acting alone.
Not being able to kill him is a small Matter. If he Senses it, Belmode herself will have Trouble.
So, Belmode would have this thought, but it would Definitely be suppressed by Reason.
The third, and currently best, Choice is to Lie that Kudo Shinichi was impersonated by her, making himself temporarily dispel Suspicion.
She Said Before that she 'will take Action against someone you know', and didn't have Time to say it was Shinde Tomoaki. Impersonating Kudo Shinichi is also not abrupt.
But dispelling Suspicion is only temporary. Belmode can't guard him every Day. In her Opinion, he himself is a Time Bomb, and one that can kill many people, the specific Explosion Time cannot be determined.
Then, Belmode would either Risk being discovered by the Organization for Betrayal, sell him out, and Actively tell Kudo Shinichi or Mouri Ran to be Careful of him. Or, she would Investigate and Research him, strive to catch his Opening, and pull him to the same Faction.
The former, Conan will Definitely have Suspicion. As for Mouri Ran, it's Uncertainty. If Mouri Ran is soft-hearted and comes to him for a confession, Belmode would have to die. Conan and others who know about the Organization might also be Cleaned Up... Considering the Risk, Belmode is Unlikely to Directly sell him out.
So, Belmode will very likely choose the latter. He can also use this Opportunity to let the FBI completely define him as a Victim...
Firstly, Belmode will Investigate and Research him. When the FBI secretly Search Commands, they will Definitely also discover it.
Secondly, after Belmode Disguises herself as Shinde Tomoaki, she will very likely Directly hide it from him, thinking he doesn't understand her and can hide it, secretly Observe the Extent of his Relationship with Mouri Ran and others.
At the same Time, it's also to avoid him suspecting 'You Disguise yourself as Kudo Shinichi for a while, and then Disguise yourself as Shinde Tomoaki, what are you trying to do', and also suspecting the authenticity of 'Belmode disguised herself as Kudo Shinichi'. Although this Suspicion is a bit Illogical, Belmode cannot not Guard Against it.
This way is even better. Belmode Disguises herself as Shinde Tomoaki, Actually doesn't tell him, and even acts with him, saying he is an Organization Member. Who would believe it?
Even if he is an Organization Member, he wouldn't be a very Important Member. They would Absolutely not associate him with Raki.
He is Undercover, doing things will be much more Convenient.
So, let Belmode Cooperate with him to clear his name?
No need! He also doesn't feel at ease.
It's better to Control the Situation himself. Belmode follows along, that's enough...
Chi Feichei looked at the Road ahead. His Fingers lightly tapped the Steering Wheel.
When the Stage is set and all the Actors are on Stage, he still needs to pay attention to some Details. This needs to be Adjusted according to the Situation at that Time.
And based on Belmode's Choice, he can also see The Boss's Attitude towards him—currently still Values him highly.
Not because Hematopoietic Stem Cells were collected, then felt he was Useless.
In addition, Belmode even Thinks he is a loyalist of the Organization. Then, The Boss and insiders still have a not low level of Trust in him.
Complete Trust is impossible, But compared to other Undercover Agents, his Status and Safety Degree are both higher. The golden start is still stable...
...
The Next Day.
Chi Feichei contacted Haibara Ai.
Whether the Cold was real or fake, he couldn't be biased. He made some Delicious Food for her and sent it to Doctor Agasa's House.
Haibara Ai was still at the Mori Detective Agency playing Conan. After secretly calling Doctor Agasa, she felt Resentment.
If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have helped...
If she had known earlier that Chi Feichei could act as Kudo Shinichi, she wouldn't have given Conan the Temporary Antidote. Just trick Chi Feichei into acting...
She, Haibara Ai, wanted to eat Chi Feichei's special cold-relief Delicious Food.
And Chi Feichei also didn't plan to get involved in Kudo Shinichi's Matters.
The Boss didn't finish saying what Matters he should do. He can't even get Tip Money.
He still needs to avoid Strenuous Exercise and using heavy force. Even if it's Bounty for delivering a Letter, he still needs to be Careful of Accidents. He might still need to fight or run away or something. Best not to mess around.
Taking advantage of this Period of free Time, he simply joined a Civilian Hobby Club for Helicopter piloting.
He, Chi Feichei, started practicing flying a Helicopter.
Da Shan Mi helped him contact it. It's considered a Private Club, all a Group of Children from Rich Family. The Funds, Venue, and Helicopters are all quite good. Ordinary Person can't get involved.
Odagiri Toshiya and Morizono Kikuto, after hearing about it, both followed along to join the Excitement, registering their Names. It was also considered a Way to connect Interpersonal Relationship.
During the Period, Phone Calls were also indispensable.
"Teacher? Have a Commission? Not going..."
"Ai? Cold is better? I'm busy..."
"Doctor? Taking the Children to the Indoor Swimming Pool? Not going..."
