Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 66 The Second in Command is a Top Chef
"Mr. Kido!"

living room.

Gao Mo had just distributed some candies to the children when he heard Wakita Kensuke calling from the kitchen.

Avoiding Dr. Agasa who was enthusiastically asking puzzles, Gao Mo walked into the kitchen with a nervous look on his face.

Today he is already a second-rate actor. It’s hard to say how good he is at disguise, but his acting skills are definitely much better than a layman like Rum - this guy’s acting is as awkward as Conan’s.

Accustomed to being superior for a long time, he almost completely relies on making himself look ugly to cover himself up.

"Can you help me find where the sugar is?" Wakita Kensuke said while busy chopping vegetables. "My left eye was injured a few days ago, and the vision in my right eye has deteriorated significantly..."

"Let me look for it."

Gao Mo complained secretly.

Let’s talk about eyesight…

I didn't see him cutting his fingers while cutting vegetables, but he even did some fancy tricks.

He looks like a star chef.

This guy isn't pretending to be a chef, he actually has some cooking skills...

How free is the second-in-command of the organization? He actually dedicates himself to studying cooking.

Sure enough, no matter where they are, the top leaders can live a comfortable life, while the people below are just working like slaves.

"As for sugar..."

Gao Mo first opened the upper wall cabinet and found it was full of bowls, plates and cutlery, then he squatted down and searched the lower cabinet.

I didn't find any sugar, but I did find several bags of salt.

"call!"

Wakita Kensuke raised the kitchen knife in his hand, scanned the outside with his one eye, and made sure that everyone was attracted by Dr. Agasa's cold joke. He walked behind Gao Mo with his hands behind his back, and held the handle of the kitchen knife tightly with a dangerous smile.

"How is it? Did you find it?"

"Maybe not……"

Gao Mo's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and his eagle eyes noticed the faint reflection of the cabinet door, and vaguely saw the twisted shadow of Wakita Kensuke holding a knife.

The tip of the knife gradually approached the heart on the back, but did not trigger the sense of death.

What does this guy want to do?
Gao Mo turned all his attention to the cabinet door to prevent his body from having an instinctive reaction.

The ultimate mobilization of acting skills and the ability to quickly get into the role.

"No, do I really need sugar? It's not easy to go out and buy it now..."

"Nevermind."

Wakita Kensuke narrowed his one eye slightly, and before Gao Mo was about to stand up and turn around, he quickly retracted the kitchen knife, and a funny smile appeared on his face again.

"I see that I have all the ingredients, and I was thinking of making some snacks... Then please get me some plates."

"it is good……"

"boom!"

As Gao Mo stood up, he bumped into the cabinet door hard, and the sharp corner scratched his forehead, and bright red blood oozed out instantly.

hiss!
I was so absorbed by Wakita Kanenori that I didn't pay attention to what was above my head...

"Are you okay, Mr. Kido?" Wakita Kensuke's face froze. He put down the kitchen knife in a daze and helped Gao Mo up.

"what happened?"

Sonoko and Xiaolan changed their clothes and went downstairs, just in time to hear some noise in the kitchen.

"Kirouto-nii!"

"Kirouto?"

Kogoro Mouri broke free from Kageyama's gorilla-like arms and ran into the kitchen.

"Quick! Bring me some clean gauze!"

"I know where the gauze is." Xiaolan hurried to find the medical kit.

"Stop the bleeding!"

"Fortunately, the wound isn't deep. Why were you so careless?"

There was chaos at the scene, but fortunately the bleeding stopped quickly.

After disinfecting with iodine, Yuanzi helped put on a Band-Aid, finally ending the farce.

This actually scared Ai Haibara upstairs. She thought Rum was doing something, and ran to the stairs to check with a pale face.

"I am fine."

Gao Mo went to the bathroom to wash the blood off his hands and asked Xiaolan and others to stay in the kitchen to help.

Wakita Kensuke returned to his normal, harmless appearance, as if his previous outrageous behavior was just an illusion.

But fortunately, bodyguards No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 are all there, so this guy poses no threat for the time being.

The trouble is the black organization behind it.

We have to fool the other party quickly.

He can ensure that his acting skills are flawless, but he cannot guarantee that for others - Conan's personality is destined to make it impossible for him to keep a low profile all the time.

The main male protagonists in Japanese comics are not the kind of people who can live in mediocrity.

Conan is so obedient now, mainly because of the previous few times of discipline. "Are you hiding something from me?"

Conan is always particularly perceptive in places like this. After quietly leaving the living room, he approached Gao Mo in a low voice.

"Just take good care of Ayumi and the others. Be your elementary school student during this period... I'm not kidding."

Gao Mo touched the Band-Aid on his forehead in the mirror. The bunny pattern looked very subtle.

The pain in the wound disappeared quickly and started to itch slightly.

I took off the bandage and looked at it in confusion. The wound that was clearly there just now had closed and scabbed, as if it was quickly repaired by some force.

what's the situation?
Gao Mo tightened his fingers slightly and pressed the Band-Aid again.

Conan was still thinking about something and didn't pay attention to anything else: "Is it because of those guys? It's not like I don't know my limits... The one who should be worried is me."

"Then go back and watch TV."

Gao Mo calmly sent Conan away.

My forehead was itchy as if ants were crawling on it, and the wound healed several times faster than a normal person.

It was the first time he noticed anything strange about his body.

“Growing stronger with age” shouldn’t have such an effect. Is it that notebook?
Come to think of it, I never got sick even when I was as weak as a zombie before. I ran with Kageyama until I was exhausted, but my muscles didn't ache the next day...

"Kirouto-nii!"

Xiaolan shouted from the front.

"It's time to eat. Do you want to go call Ai?"

"No, I'll bring it up for her later."

Gao Mo temporarily put aside the matter of recovering from his wound, quickly washed the blood off his hands and returned to the front hall.

At this time, Xiaolan and others were helping to arrange the dishes.

The dishes look quite sumptuous, and paired with the atmosphere of the Kudo family's Western-style mansion, the style is instantly elevated a lot.

Although he didn't think Wakita Kensuke would do anything in such a place, Gao Mo still investigated carefully.

"Wow!"

While Wakita Kensuke was still in the kitchen, Gao Mo turned on his Eagle Eye Vision behind everyone's back and used his extraordinary power to quickly scan the dining table.

No exception.

There was no malicious intent coming from the kitchen—no matter how well it was hidden, it would have been magnified.

What the hell is going on with this guy?

Are you really just playing as a chef?

But the test in the kitchen just now didn't seem like a joke.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting," Wakita Kanezawa said, wearing his chef's hat and standing aside after serving the last pot of soup, as if he were entertaining guests in a high-end restaurant. "Everyone, enjoy your meal. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me."

Gao Mo could vaguely see a sense of accomplishment on his face, and he seemed to be enjoying the moment the food was served.

Is this Rum, the second-in-command of the organization?
……

"Boom——!"

The rain outside was a little lighter, but it never stopped.

When Gao Mo and others started the banquet, the entire intersection on the other side of Beihua Town was blocked.

Fūya Rei's sports car was stuck in the middle and couldn't move, and he couldn't use his top driving skills at all.

Seeing that traffic could not be restored for a while, Jōtani Ling didn't care about anything else. He jumped onto the roof of a car in the rain and stepped on the cars as he sped along.

hurry up!

Her light golden hair, wet from the rain, clung to her cheeks.

My memory seemed to be brought back to that unbearable night.

If I had been a little slower, I would have seen my friend die at the hands of Akai Shuichi...

He couldn't let his neighbor boy fall into Rum's hands because of him.

No matter what happened before, Gao Mo had no way out after the assessment began. He could either become a pawn controlled by Rum, or he could only...

"Hoohoo!"

Fūya Rei ran across the road with big strides and saw a black car driving away from a distance.

Could it be?

Without caring about the black car, Furuga Rei rushed into the open Kudo house, panting heavily. Seeing the bustling scene in the restaurant next to the entrance, he suddenly froze in place like a drowned rat.

"Buzz!"

An email came to my phone.

"Don't be too anxious, Bourbon. As for the candidate... just observe carefully. Rum."

In the black luxury car in the rain, Rum took off his eye patch and buck teeth and other disguises, revealing the appearance of a fierce-looking bald uncle.

In addition to the email sent to Rei Furuya, there was also a reprimanding email from the boss on the phone.

"Are we leaving just like that?" the driver asked.

"No threat at all. Looks like the intelligence was wrong. Bourbon wouldn't be interested in a guy like that." Rum glanced at the hazy villa in the rain behind the car. "Even if Bourbon really has some ideas, it's better to waste time on that kind of bastard."
