Chapter 43 The Master of Sabotage
Bai Yexiu slowly walked out of an office building, took out his phone, and checked off several tasks on his list in one go.
He got Amuro Tooru to do a small side job for him, and the results were pretty good. With Amuro Tooru doing all that, completing these tasks will be much easier for him.
Unfortunately, he couldn't completely entrust the mission to Amuro Tooru—he hadn't forgotten that Amuro Tooru was an undercover agent. In order to ensure that some of the organization's information wasn't leaked, he could only entrust him with some tasks that were necessary for the mission.
Bai Yexiu glanced at his watch and realized that he had completed three small tasks to eliminate witnesses in one go, and only a morning had passed.
So, where should we go next?
Bai Yexiu flipped through the task list, while his other hand pressed the switch on a remote control in his pocket.
The office building that Bai Yexiu had left behind exploded with a loud bang, and a few screams could be faintly heard coming from inside the building.
……
“Changmen Group…” Bai Yexiu muttered to himself, holding the address he had found and looking at the terms on the task list.
So this guy owes the organization money. The chairman of the Nagato Group, Nagato Dosan, borrowed money from the organization half a year ago, and Bai Yexiu went there to collect the debt.
At this moment, he was walking on a wide road, and could see the Nagato family's mansion in the distance, as well as three familiar figures ahead.
Conan and the others?
Bai Yexiu didn't go up to greet them because he hadn't disguised himself yet. At the same time, Bai Yexiu was also hatching a plan…
Entering the Nagato family mansion with his original appearance would probably take some effort, but it would be much easier if he went with Conan and the others, since they would likely be looking for Chairman Nagato. Therefore, he only needs to create a chance encounter to smoothly infiltrate the Nagato family home.
……
"Huh?" Xiaolan stared wide-eyed at Bai Yeshu, who had just run into them from another road.
"What is Brother Longze doing here?" Conan asked, puzzled.
Hearing Conan's question, Bai Yexiu smiled and scratched his head: "I just came for a walk."
Conan glanced around. This was clearly within the Nagato mansion grounds; an ordinary person wouldn't wander here unnoticed, unless... they had another purpose...
"Longze-kun, we have a request for you. Would you like to come with us?" Xiaolan warmly invited Bai Yexiu to travel with them, which suited him perfectly.
With the "strong support" of Conan and the others, Byakuya successfully infiltrated the Nagato mansion. Byakuya was so happy that he kept rubbing Conan's head vigorously.
"Are you ever going to stop?" Conan couldn't stand the hand constantly rubbing his head any longer, so he forcefully took Bai Yexiu's hand away.
"Conan, you're not allowed to be so rude to Ryuzawa-kun." Ran turned around and scolded Conan, glancing apologetically at Byakuya-shu.
Honestly, who's being rude here?
After Ran finished her lecture, Conan glared resentfully at the gloating Byakuya, inwardly cursing him a thousand times.
……
[Inside the three bedrooms of Nagato Road]
"Huh? You want me, the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, to go find your first love?" Kogoro Mouri's face was full of disbelief.
Bai Yexiu stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall, showing little reaction and not paying much attention to their conversation.
Has Nagato Dosan forgotten that he owes the organization money? He actually has the leisure to hire a detective to find his first love? Looks like I'll have to ask him for more later, and I'll have to make sure the interest is high…
While Bai Yexiu was plotting something wicked, Hattori's father, Hattori Heizo, opened the bedroom door.
A new person had entered the bedroom, and Bai Yexiu naturally snapped out of his reverie and took a look, marveling that this man truly lived up to his reputation as Hattori's father.
Hattori's father had dark skin all over his body, even darker than Hattori Heiji's.
This created a stark contrast with Bai Yexiu's pale skin.
"Hey, Kudo, how have you been lately?"
Heiji suddenly appeared from behind Hattori's father, laughing and chuckling. Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions, except for Byakuya.
"Haha, what I actually meant was... thank you for your hard work..." Hattori Heiji blurted out, trying to cover it up.
Xiao Lan looked at Bai Yexiu with a puzzled expression. Bai Yexiu winked at her and enthusiastically teased her, "His homophones are always good. Maybe he was talking about Kudo."
"Huh?!" Xiaolan's eyes widened.
Conan and Heiji Hattori simultaneously shot Bai Yexiu disdainful and flustered looks—would this guy die if he didn't expose him?
"Oh, I was just kidding!" Bai Yexiu smiled. After Ran turned around, Bai Yexiu secretly cast an ambiguous, almost gloating glance at Conan and Hattori Heiji.
"Hey," Conan ran over and pulled Byakuya Xiu to the corner, "Why did you just sabotage me?"
Hattori Heiji, who had just been sabotaged as well, followed up and punched Byakuya Xiu in the chest: "You're right."
"Huh?" Bai Yexiu feigned an innocent look: "This matter hasn't been exposed yet?"
"Idiot, of course!" Conan and Heiji Hattori said in unison.
Longze is probably doing this on purpose.
Conan looked at Bai Yexiu with resentment: "Don't you dare to undermine me anymore."
“And my stage too,” Hattori Heiji protested.
"Hey, what are you kids huddled together talking about? What are you taking apart?" Kogoro Mouri noticed a clump of people gathered in the corner.
"Uncle Mori, we're discussing how to take Conan down?" Bai Yexiu smiled and waved to Kogoro Mori.
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"Longze, what nonsense are you spouting now?" Conan said through gritted teeth.
With the combined guidance of Conan and Heiji Hattori, Byakuya Xiu confidently declared, "I understand."
Before Conan and Heiji could even finish their sentence, Bai Yexiu's next words nearly made them vomit blood: "I'll be more careful about sabotaging you in the future."
Conan: You... So you're pretending you didn't hear anything we said?
Conan was speechless. He knew it; Ryuzawa had done it on purpose.
