Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

This video call did not last too long.

Mao Lilan was in a hurry to check on Mao Li Kogoro's situation under the sand dunes. It was inconvenient for her to hold up her phone all the time. After greeting the people on the video, she hung up the video call.

That night, the dinner held at the hotel under the Suzuki Group was held as scheduled. Chi Feichi and Yueshui Nanatsuki attended the dinner as guests. When the banquet ended and they took a car back to the Seven Detective Agency, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

While Yueshui Nanatsuki was taking a bath in the bathroom on the first floor, Chi Feichi changed into loose and comfortable home clothes in the bedroom on the second floor, asked Xiaomei to help him pour a glass of blood with ice cubes, and called Midorikawa Saki by the way to find out about Honma Kyo's situation.

At about nine o'clock this morning, Honma Kyo took the initiative to contact Midorikawa Saki and expressed his willingness to accept the job he proposed yesterday.

At twelve o'clock noon, Midorikawa Saki handed the box containing the pistol, bullets and explosives to Honma Kyo, and Honma Kyo had to deliver the box to a locker in a shopping mall in Toriyacho by twelve o'clock tonight.

During the delivery process, Midorikawa Saki would secretly follow Honma Kyo and monitor Honma Kyo's actions throughout the process.

In addition, he had arranged people to investigate the mall to ensure that there were no police ambushes in the mall. During Honma Kyo's delivery, those people would be distributed near the mall to guard. Once the police or someone gathered in large numbers at the mall, these people would pass the information to Midorikawa Saki, and then Midorikawa Saki would decide whether to take Honma Kyo with him to evacuate.

At around nine o'clock tonight, Midorikawa Saki sent him an email saying that Honma had successfully delivered the box to the mall.

Half an hour later, Midorikawa Saki sent another new email saying that she and Honma Kyo had evacuated safely.

Several peripheral members he arranged to guard near the mall also said that there was no unrest nearby.

It seems that Honma Kyo's delivery work should be completed smoothly.

"When I saw him at noon today, his mental state was not as good as yesterday. He explained that he thought a lot last night and didn't sleep well," Midorikawa Saki talked about the details of her meeting with Honma Kyo. "He was shocked to learn that the box had to be delivered there before 12 o'clock tonight. He was a lot more energetic, and then he pulled me to ask questions. Sometimes he asked if the bomb in the box would explode, and what to do during the delivery to ensure that the bomb would not explode. Sometimes he asked how to avoid the camera and whether he should wear gloves during the delivery. After I told him the precautions, he checked the business hours of the mall on the Internet and learned that the mall would stop business at nine o'clock. He was worried that after the mall stopped business, he would appear there again. People would feel strange, so he decided to deliver the box to the mall before nine o'clock in the evening..."

"How did he perform during the delivery?" Chi Feichi asked in a hoarse voice.

"After making up his mind to go, he acted decisively. He didn't hesitate or do anything strange on the way. Before entering the mall, he remembered my reminder and didn't look around. He only observed the surroundings through the reflection in the nearby glass, and he didn't linger at the door. Overall, he performed very well," Midorikawa Saki said, "But he must be very nervous. Compared with usual, his hands and feet seemed a little stiff when he walked tonight. After delivering the things and meeting me at the designated location, he told me about his actions during the delivery process and repeatedly confirmed with me if there was anything he had done wrong. He seemed nervous and anxious, and he talked to me for more than an hour before going home to rest... In fact, I'm also wondering if it's too early for you to let him do this kind of job now." A little bit? He has never done anything illegal before. Transporting guns and ammunition is too out of line for him. He only has one afternoon to prepare. He must be under great psychological pressure. Aren't you worried that he will make mistakes during the transportation? "

"With his brain, one afternoon is enough for him to remember those precautions. Even if he is given a little more time, his worries, concerns, and uneasiness will not disappear, and will continue to consume his energy and confidence, which will cause him to be more and more out of shape," Chi Feichi said in a hoarse voice, "In this case, it is better to let him act earlier, while he still has determination and confidence in his heart, and finish the work as soon as possible. His state will be better and he will not be so prone to mistakes. "

The first effort is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted.

It is precisely because Honma Kyo has no experience of illegal crimes before that he needs Honma Kyo to act as soon as possible and complete the work after making a decision, so as to avoid Honma Kyo backing down after considering for two or three days.

When Honma Kyo should be given time to think, he doesn't mind waiting, but when he shouldn't be given time to think more, he also has to arrange his time more tightly.

Moreover, Kyo Honma's alertness is not very strong. Yesterday, he sat in the car and stared at Kyo Honma for a long time, but Kyo Honma was right next to the car and did not notice his gaze. He needs more training in this aspect.

He didn't know how other people developed their ability to sense sight, but from his previous life's experience, he found that the sight of people around him could be so clearly felt after he had experienced a task that required high concentration. After that, he also sensed the sight of others many times. When his brain collected enough "sight data" and remembered that feeling, he also became sensitive to the sight of others, especially when he focused on observing the external environment and when the other person's eyes were full of malice or aggression, he would be more sensitive to those sights.

Therefore, this mission is also a good training opportunity for Honma Kyo.

During this delivery process, as long as Honma Kyo does not lose his confidence and determination due to worry and remains in a state of tension, Honma will act while keeping a high degree of vigilance around him, and carefully perceive the changes in the surrounding environment and the subtle movements of passers-by around him. If everything goes well, after this action, Honma Kyo will be able to sense the sight of others.

"You set the delivery time before 12 o'clock tonight, just to give Honma no time to have the idea of ​​retreating?" Midorikawa Saki asked curiously.

"It's not all because of him," Chi Feichi said honestly, "The people on Gin's side also need to get these things as soon as possible. I agreed with Gin that the things should be delivered before 12 o'clock tonight. Even if someone else goes to deliver, it will be this time."

"I understand..." Midorikawa Saki said clearly, "In other words, you originally planned to arrange someone to deliver the things tonight, because Honma needs a letter of allegiance to join us, so you arranged him to go, using this task to test whether he is reliable and whether he is capable of joining us, right? Now that Honma has delivered the things, he has passed the test, right?"

"Since he successfully completed the task and you think he performed well, then he has passed," Chi Feichi said in a hoarse voice, "You don't have to monitor him anymore, continue to complete the tasks you were responsible for before, if he contacts you, let him have a good rest, I will contact him again in two days, and then I will give him the reward."

"I know." Midorikawa Saki responded.

After hanging up the phone, Chi Feichi sent an email to let the peripheral members who originally monitored Honma Kyo rest, and arranged a new batch of people to monitor Honma Kyo.

He asked Midorikawa to stop monitoring Honma Kyo because he had spent a lot of energy and time monitoring Honma Kyo and assisting him in his operations from yesterday to today, and he could not guarantee that he was in good condition. He had better let Midorikawa take a rest and arrange for others to complete the subsequent monitoring work.

In addition, in order to avoid the situation where the monitor was bribed and helped the monitor target to lie, the second half of the monitoring work should be done by someone else.

The 24 hours after the first operation was completed was also the time when the undercover could easily contact the forces to which he belonged. He had to monitor Honma Kyo well and must not take it lightly at this time.
