Conan World: Break Free from Fate and Run to You

Chapter 181 The Miss's Pendant

Shuichi Akai was silent, and Conan already knew Shuichi Akai quite well.

After such silence, Conan immediately realized that Bai Zhi was right, and for a moment he was unable to say anything for Akai Shuichi.

"I am willing to cooperate with you appropriately because I recognize your character besides your feelings, not because of the FBI." Bai Zhi said coldly: "Until you can cooperate with me as an individual, I can't exchange trust with you."

"Wait, what do you mean by already knowing your information?" Conan looked at Akai Shuichi in surprise, then at Bai Zhi: "Did Mr. Akai know about Bai Zhi's existence from the beginning?"

"...Actually, I've already told you part of it. Last time at Dr. Agasa's house, a white ghost appeared every few decades." Akai Shuichi pushed his glasses, his tone still calm: "It's exactly this period of time since the last white ghost appeared."

"Last time, the organization won, and the FBI and several other organizations that joined forces suffered heavy losses. They saw the white ghost, and it is speculated that the white ghost left with the victorious black organization."

"But this is just a knowledge for me. My main goal is to overthrow the organization." Akai Shuichi was a little more sincere this time: "The higher-ups just said that if you see them, report it to them."

He did not report it, firstly because he was not sure whether it was Baizhi, and secondly, he was very hesitant.

Akai Shuichi can see that Amuro Toru really likes Baizhi, and if he does anything to hurt Baizhi, Amuro Toru will definitely turn against him.

With Toru Amuro's ability, it would not be difficult for Japan to turn against the FBI.

"You should be thankful that you didn't report it. Those ungrateful bastards just thought you couldn't catch me. Of course, even if they sent more people, they would just have some corpses of mine." Bai Zhi snorted coldly, "If it's not necessary, I don't want to break up with you."

"Wait a minute, why does the FBI want to arrest you?" Conan still didn't understand, and a guess vaguely emerged in his mind.

But he was a little hesitant to admit it.

For a child who yearns for light and has always lived in the light, telling him that this light is mixed with darkness is tantamount to causing his world to collapse.

But Baizhi has no extra conscience, and she has no obligation to maintain a child's perfect world.

"Is it difficult for the FBI to track down criminals and enforce the law? If it's in China, it may be difficult, but in Japan... not necessarily." Bai Zhi looked at Akai Shuichi seriously: "But the FBI not only did not report it, but also tried their best to hide their whereabouts, as if they had something shameful to do."

"Akai Shuichi, you were once an important member of the FBI and the organization." Bai Zhi stood in front of Akai Shuichi and forced him to keep looking at her: "Are you really completely unaware of this?"

Akai Shuichi: "..."

The atmosphere suddenly froze, and the air between Bai Zhi and Akai Shuichi seemed to stop for a moment. They confronted each other in silence, and neither of them retreated even a bit.

"…Just some guesses." After a while, as if to compromise, Akai Shuichi pushed his glasses a little unnaturally: "The endless number zero test subject, I heard, is a person."

"Well, that's a good child." Bai Zhi then smiled gently, as if the tension just now didn't exist.

However, things started to get interesting between Conan and Akai Shuichi.

Conan never thought that Shuichi Akai actually had some impure motives.

Maybe this little thing is harmless, and Shuichi Akai did not reveal anything about Baizhi, but for some reason, Conan just felt uncomfortable.

"Azhi, the gem exhibition seems to be tomorrow, let's go together." At this time, Mao Lilan came over and looked at the strange atmosphere between the three people with some confusion: "What happened?"

"Nothing, just not very familiar with each other, a little awkward." Bai Zhi tilted her head, looking innocent: "Would it be bad if I suddenly joined you guys?"

"How could that be? Your expenses are covered by me, Sonoko." Suzuki Sonoko patted her chest proudly and said, "We have already chartered the plane, so this is just a small thing."

"Really?" Bai Zhi was touched by Suzuki Sonoko's carefree look, and a smile spread across her brows: "Thank you, Sister Sonoko~"

The four words "sister Sonoko" hit Suzuki Sonoko's heart hard. Suzuki Sonoko raised her head and laughed wildly, and with a wave of her hand, she was almost accepting Baizhi as her godsister.

He was no longer shy or embarrassed. He grabbed Baizhi's arm in a familiar manner, and he and Mao Lilan sandwiched Baizhi on both sides.

Being held so intimately, Bai Zhi was a little stiff. Being suddenly approached and squeezed between the two of them made her a little nervous. She could only purse her lips to prevent the two girls from noticing anything.

Fortunately, neither Suzuki Sonoko nor Maori Ran had any ill intentions, and their auras were very peaceful, like hands that were constantly stroking a kitten's fur, which made Baizhi calm down quickly.

They are different from Gin and Rum. Even if Gin and Rum are a few feet away from Baizhi and do nothing, they can still make Baizhi angry.

Baizhi had a lot of fun playing with the two girls. They were very concerned about whether Baizhi was tired or not. They would bring some food for Baizhi when they bought it, and would also play in a certain place for a while longer so that Baizhi could have more rest. In the end, Baizhi felt a little embarrassed.

Finally, when Suzuki Sonoko heard that Baizhi had not booked a room, she did not ask any questions and directly took Baizhi back to the hotel and booked a room.

Bai Zhi, who was inexplicably kept by the young lady, blinked and followed obediently, fully experiencing the fun of the pendant.

"Ah, yes, it's a pity you didn't come." Bai Zhi lay beside the bathtub and smiled while talking on the phone with Amuro Toru: "It turns out that being kept by a young lady is so cool."

[Don’t I have it?] Amuro Toru was driving at this time, and he was relieved when he heard Bai Zhi’s happy voice.

He had been worried about whether Baizhi would be unhappy or whether Baihe would bully Baizhi. After all, with Baihe's personality, it was good enough that he didn't need others to take care of him, but it would be difficult for him to take care of Baizhi.

Amuro Toru guessed that if it weren't for Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran, Bai Zhi would probably have no food to eat.

"That's different." Bai Zhi tested the water temperature for a long time before turning off the faucet: "There's a super big bathtub here. If you're here, I can soak with you."

Amuro Toru [Hey…]

Toru Amuro held his forehead helplessly. Does Bai Zhi know what she is talking about? Why did she suddenly get on the highway?

After all, no matter what he wanted, he still had to pretend before dealing with the organization's affairs. Amuro Toru felt that he could not skip the step of getting married.

By the way, Baizhi is Chinese, does he want to see how a Chinese wedding is done?

"Oh, but Akai Shuichi is here too. I'm afraid there will be quite a big commotion this time." Bai Zhi soaked herself in the bathtub and squinted her eyes comfortably.

It's just a bit boring. I can't play with Amuro Toru anymore.

[That guy is here too?] Amuro Toru frowned and said impatiently, [Be careful, that guy has bad intentions towards you.]

"Hmm?" Bai Zhi blinked. She didn't expect that she and Amuro Toru had such a tacit understanding.

I had just warned Akai Shuichi in the morning, and in the afternoon Toru Amuro said similar things.

However, Toru Amuro thought Baizhi didn't hear it and continued to explain.

[Last time you were injured at Dr. Agasa's house, he said that the white ghost appears every twenty years. I suspect that part of his purpose may be to target you.]
