Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 65: I am Wakita Kanenori
"call--!"

9:30am.

There was a strong wind outside.

The weather was getting worse, with cumulonimbus clouds getting lower and lower, and heavy rain could fall at any time.

Dr. Agasa and the Kudo family arrived at the Kudo residence one after another.

Xiaolan and Sonoko came into the house carrying bags and were surprised to see Ai not there. "Is Ai not here? We bought her a gift..."

"She's not feeling well today," Gao Mo explained. "She's resting upstairs alone."

In fact, everything was fine half an hour ago, but the woman was deliberately avoiding the Junior Detective League and Dr. Agasa.

"I'll go see her."

Xiaolan ran upstairs worriedly, leaving Yuanzi in a panic. She grabbed the corner of her clothes and didn't dare to look at Gao Mo, so she quickly followed.

"Wait for me!"

"Who is Xiao Ai?"

The three little ones from the Junior Detective Team also wanted to go upstairs, but were stopped by Gao Mo, who asked them to follow Conan to the living room to watch TV.

In a few days, Conan made a lot of progress and knew how to manage these children in a roundabout way - if he could control Ayumi well, the other two would no longer be a problem.

"Last night's Kamen Rider was so cool..."

"Their house is still a bit old, but the space is large."

The man with a mustache came into the study as if he was inspecting something.

Seeing the study that Gao Mo had converted into an office, he almost tore off a beard: "Hmm, it looks good. It would be even better if there were windows... and I can't see the outside clearly anytime and anywhere..."

"Amo has asked me to install a surveillance system," Dr. Agasa chuckled, "Even in the study, I can observe the outside in real time."

"..."

The mustache is completely sour.

He almost forgot that Gao Mo was a rich man.

If he were in his place, he would not be willing to rent such a large house to open an office - there is absolutely no need for it.

Such a waste!

"Ding dong!"

As he was speaking, the doorbell rang again.

A middle-aged man in chef's uniform stood outside the yard with his hands behind his back.

He has funny monkey-like short hair, his left eye is covered by an eye patch, the moustache under his nose and the exposed rabbit-like front teeth are particularly eye-catching, giving people an indescribable sense of strangeness.

"Hello, I'm the chef here to relieve you, my name is Wakita Kanenori."

Gao Mo looked at the comedian-like chef at the door, his face expressionless, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

Wakita Kenshinori is actually the second-in-command of the Black Organization, codenamed "Rum".

Because he likes to disguise himself in various identities, such as strong men, women, and old people...even members of the organization are not sure of his specific appearance.

"Wakita Kensuke" should be the chef who was disguised as a chef in order to get in touch with the mustache man later on.

Why did it appear now?

"Please come in." Gao Mo showed no strangeness, neither cold nor enthusiastic.

But at the same time, Haibara Ai, who saw this scene on the second floor, was horrified.

"It's rum!"

Seeing the chef being led into the house by Gao Mo, Huihara Ai wanted to shout to stop him, but her body was sweating profusely and she couldn't move at all. In the end, she could only watch the chef disappear.

"Xiao Ai?"

Xiaolan was just going upstairs when she saw Haibara Ai lying motionless by the window. She hurried forward and touched her forehead.

"It's so cold...Ai, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"without……"

Ai Haibara looked up at Xiaolan's angelic face, hugged her body tightly, shook her head and stopped talking.

She understood that from the moment Rum appeared, anything she did would be superfluous.

Now I just hope it's a coincidence.

……

1st floor lobby.

Wakita Kensuke followed Gao Mo with a smile, his one eye casually glancing at the children watching TV in the living room, and paying more attention to the man with a mustache and Dr. Agasa who came out of the study.

"The ingredients are all in the refrigerator," Gao Mo walked straight to the kitchen, "I'll trouble you with the banquet."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Wakita Kensuke seemed very easy to talk to. He quickly prepared the ingredients in front of Gao Mo, without any unfamiliarity or awkwardness.

It really seems like they are just expatriate chefs.

"You go out and do your work first," Wakita Kanenori said politely to Gao Mo, who was standing by. "I can do it by myself. I'll call you when it's time for dinner. I guarantee it won't delay you."

Gao Mo was not too sure about this guy, but he did not sense any ill intentions either, so he could only leave the kitchen with a bit of caution. Conan in the living room was still unaware of this, and while the three little ones were distracted by the TV, he was about to run upstairs to check what was going on.

"Kirouto-nii-san..."

"Just behave like a little student today."

Gao Mo drove the guy back to the living room, still thinking about Wakita Kensuke's purpose in his heart.

There is no malicious intent, which means he is not targeting Haibara Ai.

Could it be because he had contact with Furuya Rei, also known as Bourbon?

It didn't seem to make sense. The Black Organization didn't act recklessly. It was impossible for them to have nothing better to do than to cause trouble for a passerby like him.

Not to mention that it was the second-in-command of the organization who took action.

So...it's his own fault?

Gao Mo's face stiffened slightly when he thought of the experience of being inexplicably targeted by Jiang Gu Ling.

Why do they all like to get close to him?

After glancing at the kitchen a few more times and confirming that Wakita Kensuke was really cooking, Gao Mo calmed down and went upstairs.

He needs to remind Ai.

This woman hid because of the Junior Detective Team and happened to avoid danger.

Now is a special period of his defection, so it would be better not to meet with members of the organization like Wakita Kensuke.

No one knows what unexpected situations may arise.

……

2th floor.

Ai Huibara curled up in a small bedroom and said she wanted to sleep.

Xiaolan and Sonoko changed into their dresses in the Kudo couple's master bedroom.

"Today is so important for Mr. Kido, so of course I have to dress up nicely. I've been choosing for a long time... Ran, can you help me take a look at this one?" Sonoko happily planned and analyzed, "Maybe I can win Mr. Kido's heart today and have a romantic relationship with him."

Xiaolan felt a little helpless about her best friend's two looks: "They are both very beautiful...but I don't need to change clothes, right?"

"If you don't change, I'll be weird all alone," Sonoko dragged Xiaolan hard, and suddenly said alertly, "You already have Shinichi, so you can't have any ideas about Mr. Kido!"

"how come……"

"call!"

Haibara Ai hid in the corner of the small room like a frightened rabbit, listening to the sounds coming from next door. She was distracted for a moment, and even the terrible pressure brought by the second-in-command of the organization was reduced a lot.

Miss Sonoko remembered that she would later get together with the top karate master Kyogoku Makoto.

I don't know why I imagined Gao Mo being knocked out by Kyogoku Shin with one punch.

Shaking her head vigorously to get rid of the strange thoughts, Haibara Ai carefully leaned over to the window and continued to observe the situation outside.

"Crack!"

As a few flashes of lightning struck, the streets were instantly covered by heavy rain.

There's nothing unusual.

There was only one black luxury car parked at the other intersection - it was Rum's car.

The Porsche that she cared about the most did not show up, nor did she see any snipers lurking around.

There are no organized killers...

But if Rum showed up, it didn't seem like he was going to hunt her down?
But why?
"Kirouto!"

A muscular figure ran across the street in the rain, walked through the open gate and shouted loudly.

Chasing behind was an ordinary young man in a suit - Takagi from the First Investigation Division.

"I've already told you I'm not a suspicious person. I'm just here to attend a friend's party!"

"Coach Kageyama?"

When Kogoro Mouri opened the door and saw the person coming, he was so scared that his face turned green.

Why are you still following me here...

"It's you!" The big guy Kageyama's eyes lit up, "Akechi Kogoro!"

"Uh, haha," the mustache-faced man laughed dryly and turned to Takagi, who was dripping wet behind him. "Officer Takagi, why are you here?"

"I saw this guy running in the rain and came over to check it out," Gao Mu asked in surprise, "Do you know him?"

"So..."

In the kitchen, Wakita Kensuke cooked a pot of soup, pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

He really couldn't see what was so special about Gao Mo. Even when the detective agency opened, only a few people came.

A group of little ghosts, an old neighbor who tells jokes to the little ghosts, and a silly-looking famous detective from the office next door?
There seemed to be two high school girls chasing stars upstairs.

Now here comes another strange muscle man...
