AWB Chapter 667 The scapegoat
Chapter 667 The scapegoat
Not long after, Bourbon walked out of Kudo's house with a polite smile and returned to Chu Ming's car.
"What did you capture?" Chu Ming took out the laptop computer he brought with him in the car and asked Bourbon to plug in the card reader. The two of them looked together frame by frame to see if there were any flaws in Okiya Subaru's room.
Chu Ming and Bourbon were both experts in intelligence investigation, and they were among the best in the organization when it came to this kind of detailed investigation. However, after the two of them had replayed the footage shot by Bourbon several times, they had to admit that there were indeed no flaws.
Except there was a little more bourbon on the shelf.
But this obviously cannot be used as evidence to equate Okiya Subaru and Akai Shuichi.
Chu Ming put on his headphones and listened carefully to the sounds coming from the bug that Bourbon had placed.
After listening for a while, he put one of the earphones into Bourbon's ear and said, "This noise is not right."
Bourbon also listened quietly for a while, then nodded in agreement with Chu Ming's point of view: "It's too quiet, and the footsteps are very light."
People like Chu Ming and Bourbon who have been trained usually have light footsteps and land silently. Just now, when Bourbon was dragging Okiya Subaru into the room, Okiya Subaru's personality was that of a weak and ordinary college student with no fighting power. But now -
On the uncarpeted wooden floor, in his leather shoes, he made little noise as he moved.
This is obviously inconsistent with the character he wants to portray.
Of course, it is also possible that Shuichi Akai still regards Bourbon as a member of the red team, and deliberately exposes flaws, making them seem to be there and not there, with malicious intentions to seduce Bourbon Cat to follow him and track him down.
But unfortunately, he was wrong. Today's Bourbon is no longer the original Furuya Rei...
At this time, Bourbon was so excited because he found a flaw that he wanted to request an armed helicopter and bombs to blow up Kudo's house on the spot.
Chu Ming returned the headphones to Bourbon and stopped him: "Don't worry, he didn't die after falling from such a high place, he must have been lucky. Don't alert him, he still thinks you are on his side. Let's close the net slowly, and this time we must make sure that the net can cover him firmly."
You can be lucky once or twice, but you can't be immune to death every time.
Chu Ming sent the photo he just took to Conan. He had to admit that Akai Shuichi was indeed a cheater, but if I took out a protagonist to fight against you, how would you deal with it?
Chu Ming, who didn't feel that he was being framed, raised the corner of his mouth proudly, and turned to discuss with Bourbon: "Remember, this is a good opportunity to contact Maori Kogoro. The FBI people seem to like communicating with him. As long as we keep an eye on him, we won't worry about not being able to catch the FBI."
Now that Bourbon's investigation had yielded results, he no longer argued with Chu Ming about the amount of work and simply agreed.
After Bourbon left, Chu Ming went straight home and took the opportunity to get some more sleep. He planned to go and play with Conan in the next few days.
Whenever I stay with Conan, I have to compromise on eating and sleeping. Either the table next to me crashes when I eat, or I hear screams when I walk around...
In short, if you don’t have some energy, you really can’t keep up with Conan’s pace.
The next day, before Chu Ming woke up, he heard his cell phone buzzing. He yawned, reached out his hand from under the quilt and lazily answered the call.
As soon as the call was connected, before Chu Ming had time to speak, Conan's voice came from the other side: "Brother Chu Ming, are you free today? Do you want to go fishing with us?"
Chu Ming sat up from the bed and was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you see the message I sent you?"
Why is it so peaceful today? After receiving the news, he didn't even clamor to investigate, and even had the mind to ask him to go fishing?
"Got it. It's because of that photo that I wanted to invite you to come out with me." Conan was a little depressed. "The doctor originally said he would take us to the sea breakwater to go fishing, but he had something to do and couldn't leave for the time being, so he asked Mr. Ejiri, who I met in a previous case, to take us. The kids are a little excited. I may not be able to control them if they run around at the beach, but if you can come, it will probably be a lot more peaceful."
Chu Ming lifted the quilt and walked to the window. He pulled open the curtains and complained, "You are using an abacus. The beads are hitting my face. You are conscripting men to help you take care of your children."
"We can also talk about Mr. Okiya." Conan tempted him through the phone, "Come on, Chu Ming brother, if we catch a big fish, we can have a fish feast."
Chu Ming did not refuse, as he had been planning to play with Conan for a few days: "You are all at the doctor's house now? Then I will go over after I finish washing up."
----
When Chu Ming drove to the doctor's house, he felt a strong sense of being watched when he got out of the car. Looking up, he could just see the curtains on the second floor of Kudo's house swaying slightly.
Does Shuichi Akai just stare at the doctor's house all day long?
Is he so idle after faking his death?
Withdrawing his gaze, Chu Ming raised his hand and knocked on the doctor's door as if nothing had happened.
Conan, who knew the news, ran over to open the door and let the big devil in.
The children who were originally looking around to see who was coming, after seeing clearly who it was and calling for help, sat up straight, watched their eyes and their hearts, and even breathed lighter.
"Let's go. I drove here." Chu Ming was in a good mood and did not deliberately scare them. He waved his hand and asked the children to get in the car.
Chu Ming drove the car to the dock, and several people took a boat to the breakwater.
After getting off the boat, Chu Ming gave the children some advice like not to get too close to the shore and to be careful, and then let them go fishing on their own.
Fishing here is relatively safe as long as you don't commit suicide.
Chu Ming took a fishing rod, found a place to sit down, and threw the baited hook far into the water.
Conan also picked up a bucket and squeezed next to Chu Ming: "I looked at the photo carefully. Bourbon was carrying a toolbox. Is it possible that the organization was investigating me, so after discovering that someone was living in the Kudo residence, they asked Bourbon to disguise himself as a repairman and sneak in to investigate?"
Chu Ming tilted his head to look at Conan who was squeezed next to him, raised an eyebrow at his sharpness, and then said nonchalantly: "I took that photo accidentally last night. Later, when I got home, I observed with a telescope from the third floor and found that they finally went to the bedroom and drew the curtains. If Bourbon was investigating unilaterally, why did he draw the curtains?"
Before Conan could speak, Chu Ming asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "You knew that the organization was investigating you, why did you let Okiya Subaru live in your house?"
You can't be looking for a scapegoat, right?
