Keep busy in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 255 Scarlet Story (1)

"Ahhh, another beautiful day...!"

The early morning sunlight just shone into Hua Lantian's bedroom through the curtains, and Hua Lantian was just woken up by the alarm clock. Because he had a lot of things to deal with recently, he hadn't slept in for a long time. He got up on time every day, had breakfast with Ayako, etc. After dinner, Ayako went to inspect the company, and he either went to the safe house to check the intelligence work, or found a place to conceive of future action strategies.

But today, he just saw the message that the working emperor Toru Amuro sent him before sunrise, saying that there was something he wanted to ask for his help.

Hua Lantian sighed and said that he was worthy of being the working emperor, as he got up early. Of course, it might also be to exercise so that he could perform his tasks better. Then he sent him a reply, ready to see what the matter was. He couldn't even handle it and needed his help.

Not long after the message was sent, Toru Amuro replied almost instantly. It seemed that he was waiting for news from him. He replied that the matter was of great importance and needed to be discussed offline at the Chinese residence.

Hua Lantian exclaimed, "Wow, my goodness! My house has become an airtight wall. It seems that no one is eavesdropping on me." But it's also true. According to Amuro Toru, based on the information he has collected, the winery is already interested in him and wants to reach a cooperation, so they will most likely not eavesdrop on me. Besides, my house is indeed very safe because I run it myself.

He then replied to Toru Amuro, saying that he had time this afternoon and that Ayako wasn't at home. He also said that he had a secret room built specifically for this situation. Toru Amuro said that he would ask for leave from the Poirot Café this afternoon...

Time quickly came to the afternoon. When they opened the door, they still saw the familiar handsome face with golden hair and wheat-colored skin. The two did not say anything, but just exchanged glances, then quickly closed the door and walked into the house. Hua Lantian asked Toru Amuro to sit for a while, and he prepared some tea before taking him to the secret room.

In a not-so-small secret room, with bright lights and cozy decorations (as everyone knows, such an airtight place has to be made to feel comfortable, otherwise people might have problems if they stay there for too long), Hua Lantian and Amuro Toru sat opposite each other.

"Brother Amuro, I'll be frank today. I don't know what you want my help with today, but it's probably not a simple matter...!"

Hua Lantian shook the cup of tea he had just finished drinking, then looked at Amuro Toru and said.

Amuro Toru did not keep the secret. He first took out a small stack of information from his pocket and handed it to Hua Lantian to read. Then he waited for Hua Lantian to take it and started talking.

"These are my investigative records on a certain person. I've recently completed all the investigations except for the final step of confirmation. Of course, whether it's confirmed or not is no longer important. I believe this person is the one I'm looking for...!"

"Oh...~ That's interesting. So, you suspect that Okiya Takashi, who's currently staying at the Kudo residence, is the person Akai Shuichi disguised himself as after faking his death. But why are you so concerned about Akai Shuichi...?"

Hua Lantian quickly read the information, smiled slightly, then looked up at Amuro Toru and asked curiously.

After all, he saved Morobushi Kagemitsu, and he had carried out missions with them before, and he didn't see any conflicts between them. In addition, Amuro Toru also knew the relationship between Akai Shuichi and the Miyano family...

"Because I don't like the FBI being in my country. Even if he has a mission, he blatantly launched an operation in my country without any prior notice. I also think he's seriously hindered our Team Zero's plans. Of course, his companions as well. I want to kick them all out...!"

Amuro Toru said with disgust...
