Conan World: Break Free from Fate and Run to You

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Kogoro Mouri didn't understand why Conan asked that.

"So, uncle, are you going to protect Ueda Kiyofusa or Ueda Hara?" Conan frowned.

"Uh, it should be... Uedahara, right? After all, he is, is, the legitimate heir?" Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, and looking at the two people in front of him, he was a little uncertain: "Maybe he is protecting both of them, Ueda Taro didn't elaborate."

No, no, something's wrong.

Conan still felt something was wrong.

Bai Zhi who suddenly appeared and was not sure what to do, Ueda Masaichi who had not appeared and was unknown about the situation, the identity of the illegitimate child and the legitimate heir... and the man in black who was ready to make a move.

Conan always has a bad feeling.

But this is open air, and the organization cannot create darkness to assassinate anyone in broad daylight. Rushing out to kill people would be tantamount to seeking death.

The key point is, who is the organization's target?

"Okay, excuse me for interrupting everyone's meal time. I would like to introduce my son, Kiyoshi Ueda." Taro Ueda clapped his hands, and everyone's attention was immediately focused on him: "I hope everyone can support..."

Taro Ueda was speaking proudly when, at this moment, an old but powerful voice resounded throughout the banquet hall.

"Support Uedahara and become the heir of my Ueda family!"

The banquet fell into silence, and some people who were whispering stopped communicating and looked at the old man coming from afar in amazement.

To be precise, it was an old man and a young girl.

The old man was sitting in a wheelchair, skinny and frail, and looked like he would fall down at the slightest breeze, but he was surprisingly in good spirits. The girl behind him was pushing a wheelchair, shrouded in a cloak, and looked like a bewitching villain in a movie.

Angelica dahurica? !

Conan immediately became alert. Haibara Ai's radar sensing of the men in black told him that Baizhi was most likely a member of the Black Organization. Baizhi was now pushing Ueda Shoichi. Could it be that the target was Ueda Seishun?

However, he still felt something was wrong. Conan looked at Toru Amuro. Toru Amuro's face did not look good at this time. Conan clearly caught the anxiety in Toru Amuro's eyes.

"...Father, father, you..." Taro Ueda's face turned ugly, but there were many guests at the banquet, so he could only force a smile, which was uglier than crying.

"An illegitimate child is an illegitimate child. It's good enough that you didn't kick him out of the house. Do you still want him to inherit my family business?" Ueda Masakazu snorted coldly: "Taro, don't forget, you are marrying into the family."

A bodyguard reacted immediately, poured a cup of warm water and handed it over, but was stopped halfway by Bai Zhi, who brought the cup under his nose to smell it before passing it to Masakazu Ueda.

Several bodyguards immediately surrounded him, fearing that Masaichi Ueda would be hurt.

Masaichi Ueda is the person with the most say, and this doesn't look like a last gasp. If this is the case, they will never side with an outsider.

Immediately, some people's eyes lit up. Naturally, the people attending the banquet this time included various senior executives of the Ueda Group.

Although people put their own interests first, they have followed the old man for so many years and are somewhat loyal to him. They have long been dissatisfied that Taro Ueda, who married into the family, is going to bring an illegitimate son who has no blood relationship with him to inherit the group.

Of course they were happy to see the old man coming over in such good spirits. They immediately came up to compliment him, and Ueda Masakazu responded with a smile.

It really wasn't a last gasp, it looked like he was completely healed! What happened? Wasn't he just lying in bed and not even awake?

Taro Ueda looked at Baizhi, and he suddenly realized that Baizhi's so-called magic might not be that simple. His carelessness made him fall into Baizhi's text trap.

Then wouldn't he have paid for nothing and made things difficult for himself? ? Ueda Taro almost fainted.

"Today is everyone's banquet, and also the banquet for selecting the successor. Xiao Yuan, come to me." Ueda Masakazu waved his hand.

Uedahara, who was standing by, was also surprised by the appearance of Ueda Masakazu. He actually didn't take it seriously that Ueda Taro was dragging Ueda Kiyofune around to introduce him to others.

After all, Kiyoshi Ueda is an illegitimate child and has limited resources. Even if Kiyoshi Ueda has the support of Taro Ueda, Ueda Hara is confident that he can fight.

But now, no one expected that Masaichi Ueda, who had been staying indoors for a long time and who was rumored to have lived for only a few days, suddenly appeared. Now Ueda Hara immediately had an overwhelming advantage.

"So, what should we do now?" Amuro Toru gloated, but still said seriously into the headset: "Find a chance to kill Ueda Shoichi?"

[Wait a moment, I'll ask Bai Zhi about the situation.] Vermouth frowned and felt that the situation was tricky. She didn't expect Bai Zhi to go against the Black Organization so openly.

Suddenly, Vermouth seemed to remember something, her face looked a little grim, and she turned around and connected another line.

"Rum, did you let Smino offend Baizhi?" Vermouth stared at the surveillance camera.

In the surveillance video, the girl in the cloak stood behind Masakazu Ueda and Ueda Hara, like an inconspicuous shadow, but woman's intuition told Vermouth that Baizhi might be the biggest trouble.

Rum didn't reply. Vermouth looked at the communicator to make sure that Rum was connected and there was no problem with her microphone. She immediately understood and became furious.

They were in the front line, risking their lives to complete the mission. You have a good relationship with them, but you don't care about their lives just because you suspect someone, right? If you make others angry, whose fault is it if the mission fails?

[I just asked Smino and Baizhi to connect, maybe they can... uh, cooperate.] Rum coughed lightly, his voice a little awkward [After all, she can be used to find the undercover, and you also know that she will encounter...]

"Only if you don't cause trouble when we're doing something, Rum. Do you know how much trouble she caused to warn us?" Vermouth said with a sigh, "You guys can handle today's mission as you see fit. It has nothing to do with me."

[It's just a minor trouble, don't say such discouraging words.] Rum touched his nose, feeling a little lacking in confidence [Let Smino call a few people to kill Ueda Shoichi and Uedahara directly.]

Vermouth gritted her teeth. It was such a simple matter, but now it has turned out like this.

After thinking about it, Vermouth hung up the call with Rum and contacted Toru Amuro.

"Bourbon, let Smino be responsible for the next action. He will be responsible for killing Masaichi Ueda and Ueda Hara. You can help out on the side." Vermouth stared at the surveillance camera, and suddenly, she was stunned.

In the surveillance video, Bai Zhi raised her head and suddenly looked into her eyes.

Although Baizhi was just watching the surveillance video and probably didn't know it was her, Vermouth was still startled.

{Test Subject Zero, who was allowed to be squeezed and flattened by the Black Organization, was known for being weak, well-behaved, and non-aggressive. He was a non-staff member and knew nothing about the organization's secrets. He provided great progress and convenience for the organization's experiments. He was exiled after the phased experiments were completed.}

The above is the information about Baizhi’s update that Vermouth has seen recently.

However, Vermouth always had a bad feeling.

For some reason, Vermouth suddenly remembered that when she first brought Baizhi out, Baizhi sat on the back of her motorcycle, hugged her waist tightly, and put his cheek against her back.

A small ball, soft and fragile, yet tenacious, it refuses to break into pieces no matter what, and it seems contradictory to cut it apart.

It's better to wait and see. They still know too little about Baizhi. Although Baizhi has been in the organization for decades, Vermouth intuits that the organization probably doesn't know much about Baizhi.

Wait, if I remember correctly.

Vermouth immediately opened her phone to check what she had saved... yes, this was it.

Baizhi first appeared in the organization sixty years ago. She is older than her, but Baizhi's experimental data only appeared twenty years ago. So what exactly did she look like and with what identity when she appeared in the organization in the past forty years?

Is she really just a mascot with a lifespan?
