Conan I am Surrounded by Undercover Agents

A completely unknown target.

Ask only once.

voluntary.

...Isn’t this completely random? It’s best if you bring it back, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t bring it back.

Belmode felt strange about such a request, but she still accepted this strange mission from the boss.

"Okay, boss, I will do as you say." She said briskly.

The same man with black hair and red eyes, one is her father, and the other is the boss who always only calls her by her code name. She must not confuse the two attitudes.

The boss nodded slightly, lowered his head and continued to read the documents.

Seeing that he had no intention of continuing to communicate, Bellmode exited the office in a wise manner. Before leaving, she made a special trip to the underground training ground. As a result, she only saw Irish whiskey there and not the person she wanted to see.

Ireland was the previous leader, a member given the code name by her biological father. After the boss took office, he only eliminated the die-hard loyalists of his predecessor. He generously kept all those who were willing to work for him.

Belmode had no interest in Irish whiskey and turned to leave.

Finally, Ireland stopped her: "Are you looking for gin?"

Belmode stopped and turned around, avoiding answering his question: "Do you want to inquire about my movements?"

"Don't dare."

Ireland smiled and changed the magazine of the SIG-P220 pistol in his hand. He was one of the few members who knew the relationship between Belmode and the two generations of leaders.

"I'm just telling you that that guy was thrown to Kyoto by that gentleman a few days ago, and he won't be able to come back until July."

Kyoto?

Because of her special status, Bellmode, who is far away in the United States, is also very familiar with the trends in Japan. She knows very well that there have been no tasks in Kyoto recently.

But the boss always does things for a reason, and he will not send Gin, the most capable person in the organization, for no reason.

Is something big going to happen there?

With such doubts, Belmode left the Dusk Villa.

…

The next day, Belmod came to Kuroba's house on time.

Kuroba Toichi, the teacher who taught her the art of disguise and voice change, returned to Japan last night after finishing her foreign tour.

Before Belmod became a disciple, the organization had investigated him, so Belmode knew the identity of Kuroba and his wife very well. He and Kuroba Chikage were well-known Phantom thieves on international wanted orders, and neither of them were cheap.

She did not disguise herself, only wore a pair of light-colored sunglasses and a wide-brimmed sunhat to partially cover her face, and rang the doorbell of Kuroba's house.

The person who came out to greet her was Kuroba Chikage.

As a professional intelligence officer, Belmod could tell at a glance that Kuroba Chikage's expression was not right. Even though she controlled her emotions well when facing her, it was difficult to hide the sadness in her eyes.

...Is it the Kuroba family or someone else close to you that something happened recently?

This thought flashed through Belmod's mind, and he greeted calmly: "Long time no see, Qianying~"

"Long time no see, Sharon." Kuroyu Qianying smiled and welcomed her in.

After changing her shoes at the entrance, Belmod handed her the guest gift.

"This is a meeting gift. Because I don't know what your Kaito likes, I can only buy the most popular boy toys so that he can play with his friends."

She doesn't have children of her own, and she doesn't dare to have children with her body that has undergone long-term human experiments, so she is more affectionate towards the children of her friends.

Kuroba Qiankage made a movement - Belmode noticed this - and then she calmly accepted the gift and thanked her.

Before the two of them walked into the house, the doorbell rang again.

"Ding dong——"

Belmode was stunned. This almost happened with her, but she clearly noticed that no one was following her on the way here!

"Are there any other guests in your house today?" She looked at Kuroba Qiankage.

Kuroyu Qianying shook his head and stepped forward to open the door.

Belmod was secretly vigilant when the pocket pistol hidden in her sleeve had half slipped out and landed in her palm. But to her surprise, the person standing outside the door was a child.

This is a boy about seven years old, wearing long-sleeved trousers that have not been washed, and his shoes are dirty.

He raised his face to look at them, and Belmod noticed that the boy had a bandage around his left eye and was carrying a small schoolbag behind his back. His little face was pale and round, and he looked quite cute.

Belmode saw his only intact eye, and that red was the brightest color on his body.

Black hair, red eyes...

After realizing these two key pieces of information, Belmode remembered the boss's instructions to her yesterday.

He wanted to destroy the group that cooperated with the organization to conduct human experiments, and the most eye-catching feature of this member of the mafia family was his hair color and eye color.

"Bai Ye, why are you here?"

Kuroba Qianying didn't notice anything unusual about Belmode. He bent down and touched his furry head lovingly.

"Aunt Qiankage, I have something to come to see Kaito." The boy pulled the strap on his schoolbag. He glanced at Belmod and asked uneasily: "Do you have a guest...?"

Kuroba Chikage looked at Belmod, and the witch in the organization smiled and said: "It's okay. Is this Kaito's friend?"

"Well!" The boy introduced himself, "My name is Jing Baiye."

Realm...white night?

When she heard this name, Belmod instantly thought of the [Mother] experimental subject she had seen before.

If her memory is correct, the Jing group has the habit of juniors using the names of their elders. The man's real name is [Jing Baiye], and if you look closely, this child looks somewhat similar to that unlucky man.

Could it be that the child the boss is looking for is...

"Come in quickly." Kuroba Qiankage asked the boy to come in.

The boy took off the dirty shoes, and the socks on his feet were also dirty. He put on clean slippers a little embarrassed, and then carefully placed the shoes.

"I'm sorry, my socks are a little dirty." The boy murmured, "I can't find clean ones to wear..."

"It's okay. Kaito is on the second floor. You go up and play with him. I'll get you some snacks."

The boy ran up the stairs, and Belmode noticed that the schoolbag behind him was bulging, and he didn't know what was in it.

…

Out of curiosity about this boy, when Kuroba Qiankage went up to deliver snacks, Belmode followed him up.

The two children were seven and five years old. They had no awareness of eavesdropping and the door was not closed properly. She heard the conversation between the two of them inside.

"Your parents are coming back today?...Then what will you do in the future? Will they still beat you?"

"Don't worry, I will take care of it."

Kuroba Qiankage was standing at the door. Hearing these words, he stopped and tightened his hand holding the plate.

From her reaction and what Kuroba Kaito said just now, Belmod quickly guessed where the injury to the boy's left eye came from.

Another child... who was not treated well by his biological parents.

Through the crack in the door, Belmod saw the black-haired boy laughing.

Kuroba Chikage beside her quickly adjusted her expression. She pushed the door open and walked in with a bright smile on her face, as if she hadn't heard anything: "Kaito, Byakuya, come and have some snacks."

She placed the tray with two pieces of cake and juice between the two children.

The boy looked at it, pushed the larger piece to Kaito Kuroba, and took the other piece himself.

"Eat slowly, there is still something in the kitchen." Kuroba Qianying said gently.

"Okay." The boy replied obediently.

"Next time you come, Auntie will treat you to more delicious snacks."

This time, the boy didn't answer immediately.

He blinked, and the only intact eye was as crystal clear as a gem in the water, and seemed to be flashing with water light.

"good."

He showed a big, reassuring smile.

Belmode stared at the boy, watching him pick up the fork and start eating the cake.

Kuroba Chikage said that she bought it in a cake shop in the morning. It looked like an ordinary cake. But the boy seemed to be tasting some extraordinary delicacy. Kuroba Kaito on the side swallowed it, chewing every bite carefully.

, eat very carefully and seriously.

It was as if this was his last supper and he would never eat it again.

When Belmode saw him like this, she didn't say what she wanted to say. She quietly retreated with Kuroba Qiankage.

The two adults left the child's territory and walked down the stairs quietly, one after the other.

"What's wrong with this child's eyes?" Belmode asked suddenly.

"It was caused by his scumbag father! Not only his eyes, but also his sister Bai Yu's...!!"

When Kuroba Qiankage mentioned this, her expression couldn't help but began to distort. At the same time, she had to keep her voice as low as possible to prevent the two children upstairs from hearing it.

Before coming to Ekoda Town, Bellmode checked the news that happened here recently, and he naturally knew about the case of a girl who accidentally fell into the water.

She lowered her head, and out of sight of Kuroba Qianying, showed a mocking smile towards a certain group - now it seemed that there was a big problem in this so-called "accidental fall into the water".

…

Belmode stayed at Kuroba's house for several hours, and when she was about to say goodbye, the boy had already left.

Kuroba Kaito went downstairs, and Kuroba Chikage saw his son carrying the schoolbag the boy was carrying when he came over: "This is Byakuya's bag? Why did he forget to bring it back?"

"No." Kuroba Kaito shook his head repeatedly, "He said it was given to me."

"Give it to you?" Kuroyu Qianying asked strangely.

"Yes." Kuroba Kaito nodded, "He said he wanted to thank me for sending him flowers when he was in the hospital, so he wanted to give me his important things as a thank you gift."

Kuroba Qiankage took the bag, opened it, took out one of the cars, and looked inside the bag again.

"They are all toys... He gave them all to you, but what will happen to him in the future? That pair of dogs... Well, there is no way that couple can buy him new ones."

Kuroba Chikage, who realized that it was not good to say bad words in front of her children, changed her words abruptly.

"He won't play anymore anymore?"

"I don't know." Kuroba Kaito looked distressed, "I always feel that Byakuya is weird today. I wonder if it's because Sister Baiyu is gone..."

There was silence for a moment.

Kuroba Chikage sighed, closed the bag, and handed it back to Kuroba Kaito.

"Ah, not everything was given to me."

Kuroba Kaito suddenly remembered something. As the child of a magician and a phantom thief, his memory was better than his peers.

"The toy handcuffs he likes so much are not inside."

…

When Belmod left Kuroba's house, she asked Kuroba Chikage for the boy's address. On the way back, she intentionally passed the house at 6-chome 24.

The taxi stopped at the door, and a pretty woman carefully helped a man with a broken leg out of the taxi.

The man has the same hair color and eye color as the boy, but his red eyes are as violent as lava, which makes it obvious at a glance that he has a very bad temper.

He was rude to the woman who was supporting him. He disliked her for moving too slowly and even pushed her hard.

The woman was almost pushed to the ground, staggered a few steps and managed to steady her body, and then moved forward to support the man.

"Husband, let me help you take a shower." The woman said flatteringly.

The man clicked his tongue impatiently: "Where is that brat?"

"Who knows where he went?" The woman replied without thinking much, "Husband, okay? You haven't showered for several days. I want to help you. You just need to sit comfortably and I will do it."

I’ll serve you well.”

"..."

Belmode was amazed.

She left in a hurry like an ordinary passerby, without giving the couple any extra glances.

6-chome 24 is a certain distance away from the station, and Bermod didn't have any important missions when she returned to Japan this time. It was already dusk when she left Kuroba's house, and she deliberately slowed down her pace and walked on the street filled with the afterglow of the setting sun.

Facing the evening sun, Belmode narrowed his eyes slightly.

Dusk... Then he should have come out, right? Unfortunately, she had stayed at Kuroba's house for too long, and it was too late to rush over now. She could only wait until tomorrow or some other time.

She passed a convenience store and out of the corner of her eye, she saw a familiar child standing in front of the cashier near the door.

——It’s a white night.

Jing Baiye was still dressed as when he went to Kuroba's house in the afternoon. He held two bottles of something in his hand and put them on the cashier in front of him: "How much do these cost?"

Hearing the calm tone of his voice, Belmode, who originally wanted to continue walking, paused.

As if by mistake, she turned her head and looked there.

The young female clerk in charge of the cashier looked at the two bottles: "Little brother, 84 disinfectant and toilet cleaning liquid cannot be used together, as they will produce poisonous gas."

"I know, it's not for me, but for my father and mother."

He lay down in front of the counter, raised his head and looked at the clerk, his soft face accidentally pressed against the corner.

"Please help me settle the bill, they are coming back." He added.

The female clerk's fingers moved, and her eyes revealed longing when she looked at the boy's cheek. In the end, her integrity made her just pick up the two bottles of chemical cleaning products waiting for checkout, instead of wiping the strange boy in broad daylight.

After Jing Baiye paid the bill and walked out of the convenience store with a bag in hand, he bumped into Belmode.

He raised his bandaged face and looked at the Thousand-Faced Witch from the organization.

The brilliance of the setting sun shone on Jing Baiye's body, and there was no light in the right eye that was as beautiful as a gem. The sun was about to set and could not illuminate this eye at all.

Belmod looked at this eye, at this seven-year-old child.

When she looked at the child, she actually had the illusion that the boss was standing in front of her, but... the aura on his body was not that dangerous.

——"When you see him, you will naturally know."

Belmode thought of what the boss said last night, and she finally understood what it meant.

This is the child he is talking about.
