Conan: Another Famous Detective

The next morning.

Toru Amuro came to the dessert shop early in the morning as usual.

After finding a good place to park nearby, his eyes seemed to glance around inadvertently.

"Well... not only the surveillance staff at the residence, but also the surveillance personnel here seem to have been removed..."

After so many days of being monitored, he already knew who was monitoring him, and it was not difficult for him to judge whether those people were still there.

However, Toru Amuro will not relax his vigilance. Perhaps the surveillance has not stopped, but has just become more covert.

He came to the dessert shop with a normal expression, greeted Yasuda Harumi who was already in the shop, put on his work clothes and entered the kitchen to start preparations.

Just when he was about to clean the baking pan, his eyes suddenly moved.

He found a small piece of paper stuck to the bottom of the baking pan.

Toru Amuro suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu.

He first looked back and saw that no one was approaching the kitchen, then he picked up the note.

There was a very straightforward sentence written on the note in Japanese.

[Monitor: Belmode]

Amuro Toru's eyes narrowed instantly.

He observed the note and made a judgment in his mind.

This note must have been put here not long ago, or maybe even this morning.

The basis is also very simple. At the end of every day, he will clean all kitchen utensils, and water stains will inevitably be left on the baking sheets.

The paper looked new and dry, not like it had been wetted with liquid. It was probably stuck on the baking sheet after it had become dry.

He silently tore the note into pieces, crumpled the pieces into a ball, turned on the kitchen faucet and flushed the shredded paper ball into the drain.

Afterwards, he continued his work as if nothing had happened, but when he walked out of the kitchen, his eyes looked at Yasuda Harumi.

Yasuda Harumi quickly noticed his gaze, smiled at him, and nodded lightly.

Toru Amuro immediately understood that the note should have been placed by the dessert shop proprietress.

And the note posted by Yasuda Harumi is almost equivalent to the one posted by Hanomiya Akira.

So, the message he conveyed is quite worth pondering.

The literal meaning of the note is not difficult to understand, that is, Belmode is coming to monitor him.

However, at this time, delivering this news to him is worth pondering.

You know, the people monitoring him were still there until he got off work yesterday. I am afraid that Rum asked those people to leave after he and Rum finished talking on the phone last night.

If Akira Hanamiya's chassis was near the dessert shop and they could grasp the movements of these people and deduce that the surveillance situation on them had changed, but how did they determine that it was Belmod who was monitoring them?

It was Rum who contacted Belmode on the front foot, and they got the news on the back foot?

And writing a special note to remind themselves, does it mean that they also know that they have accepted the mission to rescue Curacao?

"What is the identity of the undercover agent they infiltrated into the organization?" Amuro Toru couldn't help but wonder again.

This kind of intelligence acquisition ability is a bit creepy even for him.

He forced down his fluctuating mood and turned to consider another issue.

This news from Yu Gongming confirmed his previous guess, and Rum was indeed not completely assured of him.

Belmod was sent to monitor him this time, probably because of his upcoming mission to rescue Curaçao.

And he was also very aware of Belmod's abilities, which were many times more difficult to deal with than ordinary monitors.

You never know if someone you pass by is her in disguise.

It is not even ruled out that she will directly disguise herself as an operator and go on a mission with him.

"It's really hard to handle..." Toru Amuro sighed softly and decided to wait until after work and confirm that the people who were originally monitoring had indeed left, then contact his superiors to learn about the situation.

At the same time, at the Hanomiya Detective Agency on the second floor.

"Miss Qingmei sent a message, and Mr. Amuro has received the message." Meng Yu said with a smile.

"Yeah! It's enough to remind him to this extent. Mr. Amuro will know how to do it." Hanemiya Akira said with a smile.

Meng Yu tilted her head: "Why don't you tell him that this is a trap?"

Akira Hanomiya chuckled: "It's not necessary. I'm afraid the director's action cannot be concealed from Manager Kuroda. Both parties should have reached a consensus in private."

"As long as Mr. Amuro contacts his superiors and informs him about the mission, his superiors will naturally remind him, and there is no need for us to overstep his authority."

After a pause, Yu Gongming continued: "Even if his superiors didn't tell him for some reason, it won't be too late for us to tell him when he comes to us."

Mengyu blinked: "Will he come to us?"

Yu Gongming nodded lightly: "Of course he will. As long as he thinks about it for a moment, he will realize the role we play in this matter."

Meng Yu rolled her eyes and said suddenly: "That's it."

…………

After finishing his day's work, Toru Amuro returned to his apartment.

After a routine inspection to confirm that there was nothing unusual at home, he took out his police phone and dialed the number he had not contacted for some time.

The call was quickly answered.

"Hey! It's me." Toru Amuro spoke first.

"Has the surveillance on you been lifted?" Kuroda Bingwei's voice came.

"It's only lifted on the surface." Toru Amuro said calmly: "Secretly, Rum sent a more difficult guy to continue to monitor me."

"Well..." Kurodabei pondered for a while and continued to ask: "Then you called this time. Do you have anything new to report?"

Toru Amuro informed Kuroda of the mission that Rum had given him.

After listening to Toru Amuro's narration, the other person fell into a brief silence.

Toru Amuro realized something was wrong: "What? Is there something wrong with this mission?"

"This is a trap." Kuroda replied faintly.

"Trap?" Toru Amuro was surprised.

"Yes, it's our trap." Kuroda added.

Toru Amuro raised an eyebrow: "We? Is Curacao still in our hands now?"

"No, he's gone." Kuroda replied: "He is now in the hands of people from the Metropolitan Police Department. The plan was made by Director Hakuba himself."

"Hiss!" True to Amuro Toru's temperament, he couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this.

He didn't expect that this incident would alarm the dignified police director!

After scratching his hair to regain his composure, Toru Amuro asked, "Then what should I do?"

"This matter is a bit beyond my expectation. I need to report the situation to the director. He will make a decision on the specific details. Just wait for my news."

"Yes, I understand." Toru Amuro nodded to express his understanding.
