Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 1460 Retreating to Advance

Toru Amuro finished his day's work at the dessert shop and drove his car to go home.

His life has been so regular these days. He goes to work, gets off work, and buys vegetables on the way home. Sometimes if he really doesn't want to go to the vegetable market, he just goes to the dessert shop and makes some desserts for dinner.

In the evening, I basically stay at home, and occasionally go out for a walk.

It's not that he has the habit of taking a walk after meals, but as an excellent agent, it is necessary to understand the surrounding situation regularly.

It would be abnormal to stay at home all the time.

Others couldn't guarantee it, but he could at least be sure that Rum would have doubts.

However, he was not completely deaf to what was happening outside the window. At least he knew that Curacao actually escaped from their hands the day before yesterday!

Feng Jian, who was responsible for following up the case, also passed on relevant news to him.

He was especially concerned about the person who took Curacao away in the end, and Toru Amuro made two guesses about them.

First, it might be Hamamiya Akira and the others, or members of the mysterious organization to which they belong. After all, Kazami’s report mentioned that someone was impersonating his voice to assist the police in the siege of Curacao.

Tohru Amuro didn't know many people who could change their voices. One of them was Belmode, a senior member of the organization, and it was obviously impossible for her to help the police and public security deal with Curacao.

If he still does this and has the motive to do so, Toru Amuro naturally suspects that he is on the side of Akira Hanomiya.

As for the second one, it is a relatively bad situation.

That group of mysterious people are members of the organization, and Curacao has fallen into the hands of the organization again.

This is definitely the last thing Toru Amuro wants to see.

Although they made a careful plan, this only lasted until Curacao was captured. After Curacao fell into the hands of the police, it was unknown whether Amuro revealed any flaws.

Once Curaçao returns to the organization and reports to Rum about his experiences over the past few days, there is no guarantee that Rum will not notice something wrong in some details.

If Rum has any doubts again, even if he is not on the undercover list, the suspicion may not be completely cleared.

However, because Rum's surveillance of him has not ended yet, and Rum's spies are everywhere both at his residence and near the dessert shop, he cannot ask Hanomiya Akira about relevant matters, nor can he contact Kuroda, so I can only worry secretly in my heart and try to find out the news from other channels.

But to this day, he still hasn't gained anything.

He opened the door to his house as usual and habitually checked whether the house had been disturbed.

At this time, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Listening to the ringtone, Amuro Toru raised his eyebrows.

This is the cell phone he uses exclusively in his undercover capacity.

He took out his cell phone, looked at the caller number, and his eyes suddenly froze.

It's Rum's phone number!

Since the start of the infiltration plan in Curacao, Rum has almost not contacted him, as if he has completely forgotten about him, and now he suddenly calls, what is it...

Feeling a little confused and solemn, Toru Amuro answered the phone.

"Bourbon, you've been having a good time lately!" A disguised voice sounded.

Amuro Toru thought about the purpose of Rum's call and replied in a normal tone: "Then I would also like to thank the organization for not assigning any tasks to me recently, allowing me to relax a bit."

Rum chuckled: "If you relax for a long time, your body will inevitably get rusty. I just have a task here to allow you to move."

"Oh? What mission?" Toru Amuro asked.

"My confidant, Curaçao, accidentally fell into the hands of a group of guys with unknown origins while performing a mission. At present, we have some clues about those people."

"When the whereabouts of the other party are completely determined, I want you to lead a team and bring Curacao back."

The amount of information conveyed by Rum's mission was quite large, causing Toru Amuro to have a lot of thoughts in an instant.

Rum's mission revealed that Curacao did not seem to have returned to the organization, but was in the hands of a group of mysterious people.

This is undoubtedly good news for Toru Amuro.

In his opinion, the one who can take over Curacao at that time will most likely be from their side.

However, Rum actually approached him, a previous suspect, to perform this task, which made him feel a little guilty.

Could this be another test by Rum?

For example, Curacao has actually returned to the organization. Is Rum observing his reaction through this mission?

Could this be bait to lure him into contacting his superiors?

Turning his eyes slightly, Toru Amuro asked: "Can't the organization of the person who took Curacao find any clues?"

"The specific identity is unknown, but we have caught their tail and will soon be able to determine the whereabouts of Curacao." Rum replied. ,

Hearing this, Toru Amuro suddenly sneered: "Sorry, please forgive me for refusing."

"Huh? What did you say?" Rum's tone was slightly harsh.

"I said, I refuse." Toru Amuro expressed his attitude again.

After a pause, he chuckled and said: "Curaçao is a confidant you have trained for many years. He is a top expert in infiltration and espionage. He is absolutely top-notch in both firearms and combat."

"And you just said that you don't know the identity of the other party. In other words, it is not official organizations such as the police and public security who caught Curacao."

"Then, the unofficial guy can capture Curacao, which means he is no ordinary person. I will face a lot of risks when I lead the team."

"What? Aren't you even willing to take this risk for the sake of the organization?" Rum's tone became colder.

"I never mind taking risks." Toru Amuro said calmly, "It just depends on whether it's worth it."

"What do you mean?" Rum asked.

Amuro Toru said "Hey": "I have nothing to do recently, but I feel quite uncomfortable. I don't know why, but I always feel like there are more than one pair of eyes staring at me. Do you think it's strange?"

There was suddenly silence on Rum's side.

Toru Amuro continued: "Under such circumstances, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to be qualified for this task. Maybe you can go to Belmode?"

Rum was silent for a while again and replied: "You also know the recent situation of the organization. Even if I don't want to do some things, the will of that person cannot be violated."

"So?" Amuro asked with a smile.

"Those eyes staring at you will disappear soon. I will not interfere with you in the future missions. You will be solely responsible for it." Rum replied.

This time it was Toru Amuro's turn to be silent, as if he was thinking about it, and there was no urging from Rum, waiting for his answer.

About ten seconds later, Toru Amuro finally said: "Okay, I will take over this mission."

"Very good! Be prepared. I will inform you when we are about to take action." Rum said calmly.

"I know." Toru Amuro replied.

Then, the call ended.

Toru Amuro put down his phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
