Chapter 224
After sending Okiya Subaru away, Zhu Fushimi called the boy who was still lying on the sofa to go wash his hands. Seeing Xing Hai Meihuo walk into the bathroom, he took out the micro earphones from his ears and cut off the connection. With his other hand, he took out the mobile phone in his pocket, put it to his ear and said, "You guys are really scary."
"Are you praising me?" Amuro Toru's voice sounded with a smile, "Ever since Lei defected from the organization, I have had people investigate his whereabouts, but I didn't want to cooperate with him at the beginning."
"He suddenly appeared but was able to gain the kid's trust. He's left-handed and has green eyes. That guy disappeared at the same time as Subaru Okiya. It's easy to guess with all the information combined, but I don't know how the two of them are involved." Toru Amuro was looking at the computer screen, which showed the video of the kitchen at Morobushi Keimitsu's place. He rewound it back to the scene where the man's turtleneck was messed up and clicked pause.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Fu Jingguang noticed the pause on the other end of the phone and asked in confusion as he walked towards the kitchen.
"Nothing, I'm going to visit Mr. Subaru Okiya at Kudo's house." Amuro Toru said, and then he was keenly aware of the noise on the phone. The man frowned, "He may have installed a bug on your place."
Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned for a moment, then tilted his head and smiled, "Well, he really won't give up so easily."
Subaru Okiya was not surprised that the bug he had left behind would be discovered. He was even prepared and took off his earphones before the bug was crushed. He then took out the mobile phone from his pocket, and the screen that lit up showed the interface of an ongoing call.
"How's it going, boy." He unmuted the phone and put it to his ear.
"Mr. Subaru, you are too reckless." Edogawa Conan complained, "Although you said it is 90% certain, what if our guess is wrong?"
Subaru Okiya put on his headphones and said with a slightly raised tone, "Isn't this correct? Our speculation is completely correct."
Edogawa Conan was silent for a moment, looking at the phone screen silently and sighing, but he heard Okiya Subaru's puzzled voice coming from the other end of the phone. He asked curiously, "What's wrong? Mr. Subaru."
The crackling sound of electricity in the earphones disappeared, and Subaru Okiya pushed his glasses up on his nose, somewhat surprised that the other bug was discovered so quickly. The bug was stuck in the corner under the sink in the bathroom, and he had placed it there when Midorikawa Hikaru wasn't paying attention.
Was a detector used?
Or was it someone else who discovered the bug?
When Subaru Okiya thought of the silver-gray-haired boy whose face showed that he was not welcome, his expression became serious for a moment, but quickly disappeared. He said "it's nothing" to the phone, hung up, and walked towards Kudo's house.
He fished out a bug from under the sink in the bathroom and crushed it. He stood up and threw the remains into the trash can before turning on the tap to wash his hands.
This thing was not here this morning. If someone had not sneaked into the house while they were away, the only person who could have left the bug here during this period was the guy who just left.
Xing Hai Ya's eyes dimmed and she wiped the water off her hands before leaving the bathroom.
——It's really annoying to install eavesdropping devices on other people's territory without permission.

The gem exhibition will be open for three days, and because the time on Kaito Kid's notice is from the first day to the second day at midnight, the ticket sent by Suzuki Sonoko is for the first day, saying that there is a great possibility of running into Lord Kid who comes to check out the place.
However, Conan Edogawa said that Kid must have been there before, and even if they met, Suzuki Sonoko would not be able to recognize him, so it would be useless even if they met, but he was violently suppressed.
Xing Hai Ya originally wanted to say that the gem exhibition was held on a weekday, and they all needed to go to school, so they couldn't go to see it, but on the week of the gem exhibition, the school announced a holiday adjustment.
However, this is also expected, and Xinghaiya may not be surprised by such a development.
So before the gem exhibition started, several people met at the door of the store in front of the Suzuki Museum. Because Maori Kogoro was drunk the night before and couldn't get out of bed today, his chief disciple Amuro Toru took his place and was responsible for driving the children.
The weather was quite hot, so Midorikawa Mitsuru bought some water for everyone. After they drank the water to relieve the heat, they lined up for ticket checking and entry.
"By the way, are there so few people coming to see the exhibition today?" Toru Amuro looked at the queue with curiosity. It was already time for the exhibition to open, but there were only a few dozen people in line. This was completely different from the grand occasion after receiving the preview of Kaito Kid in the past.
Toru Amuro had heard of this phantom thief before. Because he was good at using gorgeous and exquisite magic techniques to commit crimes and often appeared on moonlit nights, he was also called the Moonlight Magician.
However, it was only hearsay, and Toru Amuro did not know much about the Phantom Thief Kidd - and the purpose of his coming here this time was not to arrest the Phantom Thief, but because of Rum's order.
A few days ago, he received an email from Rum, asking him to investigate the gem exhibition and directly requesting him to obtain relevant information about the Tanzanite that did not appear in the brochure and hand it over to the operatives.
He learned from Mao Lilan, who was familiar with Suzuki Sonoko, that there would indeed be a tanzanite on display at the exhibition, and it was very likely the one that Rum had specifically requested, but this was kept secret before the exhibition began, but it was not difficult for the intelligence team to find out.
But the key point is why Rum regards this gem as a target, or what purpose he wants to achieve with this gem.
"Because Uncle Jiroji thinks that Mr. Kidd will enter the venue during the visiting hours, the number of tickets for today is limited. Most of them are given to internal members of the Suzuki family. Not many people come." Suzuki Sonoko looked at the entrance of the museum and smiled, "It will be different at night. There will be a lot of people, all of them are fans of Mr. Kidd holding banners."
As they checked their tickets and entered the venue, Suzuki Sonoko excitedly pulled Mao Lilan to see Kid's target. Seeing this, Amuro Toru said, "I also want to see the gem that Kid will steal. Midorikawa, do you want to go with me? I remember you are also very interested."
Xing Hai Mei looked at Zhu Fu Jing Guang when he heard this. Noticing his gaze, the cat-eyed man smiled gently and touched the boy's head, "Do you want to go and see the gem?"
Guessing what they were going to do, Xinghai Mei turned her head slightly to avoid Zhufu Jingguang's hand, and said "hmm" perfunctorily, and then the few of them followed in the footsteps of Maoli Ran and Suzuki Sonoko.
No one noticed that in the blind spot that they could not see, a man had been watching them since they entered the museum, and he did not look away until they disappeared around the corner.
