Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 681: You don't even let your own son go? You are worthy of it! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

"Jingle Bell……"

At the same time, Conan stood alone in the phone booth, waiting for news from Bai Ye and Dr. Agasa. He looked around vigilantly through the glass, not missing any slightest movement.

Time passed slowly in the tense atmosphere, and every minute and every second seemed to be stretched out and seemed extremely long. Although Conan was extremely anxious, he knew that he had to remain calm at this moment and patiently wait for the news from Bai Ye and Dr. Agasa.

Finally, the phone in the phone booth suddenly rang. Conan was startled. He quickly reached out, nervously held the receiver, and put it to his ear.

The next second, Bai Ye's steady voice came from the other end of the phone, "Conan, it's me, Bai Ye. I have already contacted Dr. Agasa, and he asked you to go to his house immediately, which is relatively safe. We will meet there and discuss countermeasures together. You must be extremely careful on the way here, and try to pay attention to whether anyone is following you."

"Okay, I got it. I'll be right there."

Conan hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and carefully confirmed again that there were no suspicious people around. Then he walked out of the phone booth carefully and ran quickly towards Dr. Agasa's house.

He didn't know what was waiting for him ahead, but he knew that only by figuring out the other party's conspiracy as soon as possible could he protect the people around him and completely resolve this crisis.

Along the way, Conan remained highly vigilant, always paying attention to the movements behind him, and would be extremely alert at the slightest sign of trouble.

In order to ensure his own safety, he deliberately chose to travel through crowded streets, cleverly using the bustling crowds to cover his whereabouts.

At the same time, he kept changing his walking routes, sometimes turning into alleys, sometimes sneaking into shopping malls, like a cunning fox, trying to get rid of any possible followers.

Because he ran too hastily, he almost collided with a speeding vehicle.

At that moment, the sharp and piercing sound of the tires rubbing against the ground was like a sharp blade cutting through the air, which made him break out in a cold sweat and his heart seemed to rise to his throat in an instant.

Just when he was still in shock, he vaguely heard two familiar voices coming from not far away, one of which sounded very similar to his mother, Yukiko Kudo, who was far away abroad.

However, because he knew clearly that his mother, Kudo Yukiko, was far away abroad at the moment and there was no way she would appear on the streets of Japan. In addition, his mind was completely occupied by the impending crisis and the need to rush to Dr. Agasa's house as soon as possible. Therefore, although Conan had a flash of doubt in his mind, he did not pay too much attention to the familiar sound, but chose to continue to speed up his pace and focus on getting on the road.

As he got closer to Dr. Agasa's house, Conan's heartbeat became faster and faster. He didn't know what was waiting for him at Dr. Agasa's place, the dawn of the truth, or a more difficult dilemma?

But no matter what, he is fully prepared and determined to face all challenges and never back down.

When Conan finally arrived near Dr. Agasa's house, he did not rush in immediately without any precautions as usual. Instead, he relied on his keen observation skills to carefully observe the surroundings for a long time.

Sure enough, he found several very suspicious people wandering around stealthily.

On the surface, those people pretended to be calm and walked around casually, but their eyes always unconsciously glanced in the direction of Dr. Agasa's house. The vigilance and prying eyes revealed clearly showed that they were keeping a close watch on this place.

Conan was startled, and instantly realized that his whereabouts might have been accurately guessed by the other party. He quickly hid in a hidden corner, his brain working rapidly, thinking of a countermeasure.

He knew very well that in such a dangerous situation, he must not rush in like this, otherwise not only would he undoubtedly fall into danger, but he would also most likely implicate Professor Agasa and Byakuya.

At this critical moment, Conan saw an extremely familiar yellow Volkswagen Beetle slowly driving towards him. Yes, it was Dr. Agasa's car.

Dr. Agasa was sitting in the car, his face as kind and focused as ever, humming a tuneless little song, and seemed unaware of the strange atmosphere that had quietly spread around him.

Seeing the whole scene, Conan was extremely anxious and felt like his nervous and anxious heart was about to jump out of his throat.

“Doc! Don’t get out of the car!”

Conan was shouting wildly in his heart but didn't dare to make any sound. He could only hide in a remote alley nearby and watched Dr. Agasa's car slowly stop in front of the mansion. Then Dr. Agasa hummed a tune and walked out of the car leisurely, completely unaware of the danger lurking in the shadows.

The leisurely pace formed a sharp contrast with the tense atmosphere around, making Conan anxious but helpless.

"hateful……"

Conan clenched his fingers into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms. He had to find a way to warn Dr. Agasa, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous, but while notifying, he also had to be careful not to expose his position.

Wait? Maybe he could use a football belt to create some noise and distract the guys?
But as soon as this idea came up, he rejected it himself. There were at least three people watching, hiding behind a van, a telephone booth, and a newsstand across the street. With such scattered positions, it was difficult to ensure that all their attention could be diverted at once. Moreover, if the operation failed, it would likely put Dr. Agasa in a more dangerous situation.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

Conan was extremely anxious, and his inner anxiety surged like a tide.

"Swish..."

At this moment, a faint sound of footsteps came from behind him. The sound was very light, as light as a feather falling to the ground, but in this silent atmosphere, it exploded in Conan's ears like thunder.

Conan froze, a chill running up from his feet to his heart. Before he could turn around, a large hand wearing a black leather glove covered his mouth and nose.

The hand was strong and powerful, like an iron clamp, making it impossible for him to break free.

“Ugh!”

The pungent smell of ether instantly filled Conan's nasal cavity, and the spicy taste made him feel nauseous and dizzy.

He struggled violently, lashing back with his elbows in an attempt to free himself, only to hit only air.

The attacker was extremely agile and easily avoided his counterattack. Moreover, his dodging movements were extremely skillful, as if he already knew his reaction and predicted his every move in advance.

Then, a deliberately low male voice sounded in his ear, with a hint of teasing, "Kudo Shinichi..." "Finally found you!"

The Black Organization!

Conan's pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart almost stopped beating. He stepped back subconsciously, reaching for the watch-shaped tranquilizer gun - but it was too late, the ether had already seeped into his lungs, and a feeling of powerlessness surged like a tide, drowning him bit by bit.

His vision began to blur and his limbs gradually lost strength.

Before he fell into complete darkness, he vaguely saw a young face wearing sunglasses - the man in black who had knocked him out with a handkerchief was looking down at him indifferently. The eyes behind the sunglasses seemed to hide endless coldness, which made Conan feel a chill to the bone.

The woman who claimed to be his mother, Edogawa Fumiyo, who he had met before, was standing next to the man in black with a strange smile on her lips. That smile looked particularly eerie in Conan's gradually blurred vision.

What made Conan even more anxious was that he saw in his gradually blurring vision that Dr. Agasa's Beetle was slowly driving into the ambush circle. The slowly moving vehicle was like an unaware lamb about to fall into a trap, making Conan anxious, but he was powerless.

He wanted to shout loudly to warn Dr. Agasa, but his vocal cords seemed to be stuck tightly by glue. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make any sound. In the end, the shout could only turn into a silent cry in his heart before his consciousness dissipated: - Dr., run away!
The next moment, darkness completely swallowed up his consciousness...

……

Looking at Conan who had fainted on the ground, the man in black raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, and his tone was full of ridicule: "Tsk tsk, you actually treated your own son so cruelly, are you sure you are really the biological mother of this little guy Conan?"

The man in black was none other than Bai Ye.

As for the ether handkerchief he used to knock Conan unconscious, it was naturally given to him by a certain Teitan princess - Kudo Yukiko.

In fact, this is why he complained so much.

You should know that ether is volatile and can irritate the respiratory mucosa after inhalation, causing coughing and sore throat. When inhaled in large quantities, it can also inhibit the respiratory center, causing breathing to become shallow and slow, and in severe cases can even cause respiratory paralysis and hypoxia.

But this handkerchief stained with ether was handed to him personally by his mother, Yukiko Kudo.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to complain about a certain little kid's anti-reconnaissance ability which was as poor as ever, or to be speechless about the ruthlessness of Kudo Yukiko, his biological mother.

Hearing his teasing, Kudo Yukiko, who had already torn off the silicone mask that disguised her as Edogawa Fumiyo, blushed slightly on her exquisite face and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her eyes.

But she quickly regained her composure and coughed softly, "Humph, this is not forced by the situation."

In fact, she had initially intended to use gentler measures.

After all, that was her precious son, whom she treasured like a pearl. How could she bear to do such a heavy thing to him?
However, her beloved son has always been very smart, and it would be difficult to subdue him successfully if she only used ordinary means. In addition, she had been delayed for too long at Bai Ye's place before, and she did not have enough time to prepare a more comprehensive plan.

"Besides, do you think I want to bring this kid here smoothly without any tricks? This kid is so cunning and sly. How can I bring him here smoothly without any tricks?"

When she said this, she paused and looked at Bai Ye with ill intent, "Humph, if you dare to bully me again in the future..."

She did not forget that when she was at Bai Ye's residence before, Bai Ye took advantage of her and forced her to agree to that ridiculous "agreement".

Those scenes, at this moment, were like a looping movie, constantly flashing through her mind, making her feel embarrassed and annoyed, and the blush on her face became more and more obvious.

Bai Ye looked at Kudo Yukiko's cute face, who was both embarrassed and angry but trying to pretend to be calm. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smirk, "Ms. Yukiko, don't worry, how dare I do that? Once this matter is over, we can write off all the previous unpleasantness, how about it?"

It is naturally impossible to write it off completely.

He was still thinking about how it felt to taste the great Princess Didan. How could he be willing to give up his coveted "trophy" so easily when his plan was about to succeed and he was about to reap the fruits of victory?

However, even though he had no intention of writing it off, that did not stop him from using this set of rhetoric to deceive the other party, slowly lowering their vigilance and paving a solid road for the smooth implementation of subsequent plans.

Yukiko Kudo narrowed her eyes slightly, and a hint of suspicion flashed in her autumn-water eyes, as if she wanted to explore the truthfulness of Bai Ye's words from his expression.

However, apart from the seemingly sincere smile on Bai Ye's handsome face, there was no flaw at all. She snorted, "Hmph, that's the best. If you dare to break your promise again..."

Although the words were not finished, the threat was self-evident.

Seeing this, Bai Ye smiled and slowly raised his hands, making a gesture of surrender, with that seemingly harmless smile still on his face, "Ms. Yukiko, you can rest assured. I, Bai Ye, always keep my word and will never break my promise."

"That's good."

Although Kudo Yukiko still had some doubts about Bai Ye's words, she didn't say anything more at the moment.

However, for some reason, the moment she finished speaking, she felt a sense of loss in her heart, as if she had been expecting something but it was suddenly disappointed.

This sense of loss was like the smoke in the breeze, faint but lingering in her heart. Even she herself was a little surprised as to why she had such an inexplicable emotion.

"But..." Bai Ye's lips curled up with a playful smile, seeing the subtle changes in Kudo Yukiko's emotions. He slowly took off his black leather gloves, and gently stroked Conan's carotid artery with his slender fingers. After confirming that the pulse was steady and strong, he stood up leisurely.

At this time, the young detective's breathing had stabilized, but his slightly furrowed brows still showed the surprise and unwillingness of the last moment before he fell into coma, silently telling of the surprise and confusion he had just encountered.

"An ether handkerchief soaked in Chanel No. 5 perfume..."

Bai Ye's voice was filled with an exaggerated sigh, and he glanced at the lace handkerchief handed over by Kudo Yukiko, "Should I say that she is worthy of being the Princess Teitan who was once the most beautiful in the world? Even when she was bewitching her own son, she was so particular about style!"
