Seeing his daughter appear here, Maori Kogoro instantly sobered up a bit and asked awkwardly: "You...why are you here?"

Watanabe Toru reminded with a smile: "Uncle, Aunt Fei was here just now, but she was pissed off by you."

Maori Kogoro:"……"

……

Maori family.

Xiaolan is still brooding over Kogoro Mouri's deception and is sulking 2.9.

"It's all your father's fault. If it weren't for you, Mom wouldn't have been mad at you and left. Mom was originally very happy to say that."

"I will never believe you again. Next time Mom goes to court, you must go with us. Also, you must apologize to Mom."

Maori Kogoro looked unhappy, but under his daughter's strong attitude, he had to compromise: "Okay, okay, I get it."

Toru Watanabe drank juice and watched the father and daughter bickering with a smile.

At this moment, the cell phone rang.

Toru Watanabe took out his cell phone, but saw no call or message notifications.

He took out another cell phone.

It was a message from Miyano Akemi.

He clicked it and his pupils shrank suddenly.

The message read: I am being followed.

131. Killer Tachibana Maya

The next evening.

The residence of Akemi Miyano.

Watanabe Toru stroked his chin and remained silent.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Miyano Akemi couldn't help but get nervous: "Do you think someone from the organization has discovered me?"

"Unlikely." Watanabe Toru shook his head. "Although the organization is said to be extremely powerful, it's not that mythical. You've only been in disguise for a few days, and they've already discovered you?"

"Think carefully about it. Is there anything else that has happened recently that you are concerned about?"

"Something I'm concerned about..." Miyano Akemi pondered. "Three days ago, thanks to the beauty cream you gave me, I successfully gained the favor and attention of the Suzuki Group. Two days ago, the research department was established, and I became the second-in-charge. But yesterday..."

"What happened yesterday?" asked Toru Watanabe.

"Yesterday I received a strange call asking if I would be willing to sell them the formula of my beauty cream or switch to their group."

"what do you say?"

"Of course I didn't agree, but the other party didn't force me and just hung up the phone."

"Did the other party reveal his identity information?"

"No." Miyano Akemi shook her head: "After that, I felt like I was being followed."

Watanabe Toru pieced the clues together bit by bit, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "I still find it unlikely that you are from the organization. In addition, your joining the Suzuki Group and setting up a research department are top secrets. How could an outsider know about it so quickly? Unless..."

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "There is an undercover."

Watanabe Toru frowned. "I never thought the Suzuki Group had been infiltrated by other forces. The business world is like a battlefield. That's absolutely true. By the way, did you tell the Suzuki Group about the contact?"

"Not yet. I plan to discuss this with you before making a decision."

"Then let me give you a heads-up. This will also ensure your safety," Watanabe Toru said. "They contacted you by phone first, probably to test your nerves. After you refused, they immediately took strong measures. We don't know the purpose of the person following you yet, but it is a potential threat."

Miyano Akemi pursed her lips: "What are you going to do?"

Watanabe Toru raised the corner of his mouth: "Then let's meet this friend and ask him what he wants to do."

"Okay." Miyano Akemi nodded: "Do you need to make any preparations? After all, you are now..."

Although McAllen is very powerful, he is only an eight-year-old child now. If he encounters a critical situation, he may have to protect him.

Watanabe Toru saw Miyano Akemi's worry and said in a deep voice without explaining, "Don't worry about me. You just need to lure out the people following you. Leave the rest to me."

"I understand." Miyano Akemi tactfully didn't ask any more questions.

The two discussed the specific details again, and it was not until dinner time that Watanabe Toru left Miyano Akemi's residence.

……

The next day.

4:30 p.m.

Public toilets in Mika Park.

Toru Watanabe was sitting on the toilet seat, texting with Akemi Miyano.

Miyano Akemi: Just like the previous two days, the feeling of being followed came back.

Toru Watanabe: Then follow the plan and go to the path we have chosen. Be careful.

Miyano Akemi: OK

Watanabe Toru put away his phone, took out a one-hour antidote for aptx-4869 from his pocket, and put it in his mouth.

In an instant, severe pain surged throughout his body. Watanabe Toru groaned and his breathing became rapid.

Five minutes later, Toru Watanabe changed into adult clothes and came out of the public restroom.

the other side……

Miyano Akemi walked along a secluded path as planned.

The feeling of being watched from behind was vague.

She tensed herself, ready to fight at any moment.

At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang.

She quickly took out her cell phone and saw a message from Toru Watanabe.

Toru Watanabe: I've seen you, get ready.

Miyano Akemi breathed a sigh of relief, stopped, turned around, and said lightly: "You have been following me for two days. Isn't it time to come out and meet me?"

After two breaths, a figure emerged from the darkness and stood in front of Miyano Akemi.

Miyano Akemi was shocked. She had not expected that the person following her would be a woman. She was beautiful, with short, refined hair, and eyes as sharp as knives. She looked at Miyano Akemi indifferently.

Miyano Akemi looked her over and asked, "Who are you? Why are you following me?"

The short-haired woman said coldly, "I'm here to kill you."

"Kill me?" Miyano Akemi was shocked: "Are you a killer?"

The short-haired woman didn't speak.

"Who sent you?"

"do not know."

After the short-haired woman said this, she reached out and grabbed the necklace on her chest. She pulled hard and a metal wire was dragged out.

Huh? Is it her?

Watanabe Toru, who was hiding in the dark, saw this scene and let out a soft "hmm".

Maya Tachibana is one of the few killers in "Detective Conan" whose name he can remember. She is good at killing people with wire.

If Miyano Akemi meets her, she will probably be in great danger.

As expected, under Tachibana Maya's fierce attack, Miyano Akemi retreated step by step, looking embarrassed. If Tachibana Maya had ten more minutes, no, five minutes, she would have been able to kill Miyano Akemi.

Can't watch the show anymore. 690

Watanabe Toru jumped out from the darkness, clenching his fists and gathering strength.

The sudden sense of crisis made Tachibana Maya's heart skip a beat. She gave up on Miyano Akemi without hesitation and chose to hide to the side.

The pressure suddenly eased, and Miyano Akemi breathed a sigh of relief. Looking up, she saw a tall man already fighting with Tachibana Maya.

Is this the reinforcements that McAllen called in?

Miyano Akemi thought so, no wonder Macallan didn't seem panicked at all yesterday, it turned out that he had already prepared a backup plan.

On the other side...

Watanabe Toru's attacks became more and more fierce and swift. Tachibana Mayo was defeated step by step. Beads of sweat kept dripping from her forehead and cheeks. She felt that the person in front of her was not a human being at all, but a beast.

boom!

She was in a daze when she was kicked in the chest again. The kick was so strong that it made her fly backwards and then fall heavily to the ground. Her bones seemed to be broken and she could no longer stand up.

Watanabe Toru glanced at her and walked towards Miyano Akemi.

Miyano Akemi didn't dare to be negligent and said first: "Thank you for saving me. Um, where is Watanabe-kun?"

Watanabe Toru looked at her with a smile.

Miyano Akemi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he was not Macallan's helper?

Watanabe Toru's smile remained unchanged: "How about you take a good look at who I am?"

132. Being Seen

"what?"

Miyano Akemi was slightly stunned and looked at the face again.

His features were clear, as if carved by a knife, his eyebrows were thick, and his black eyes were bright and intense.

There is a bit of Toru Watanabe in it.

Wait...Toru Watanabe's shadow?

Watanabe Toru?

Miyano Akemi opened her mouth slightly, looking stunned for a moment. After swallowing her saliva, she asked in an incredulous tone, "You...you are Watanabe-kun?"

Watanabe Toru laughed: "I am very satisfied with your current expression. Yes, it is me."

"But...but you're not..." Miyano Akemi stuttered, as if her speech function had degenerated in an instant.

Watanabe Toru interrupted, "Let's talk about this later. Let's deal with the current matter first."

He glanced at Maya Tachibana who was still lying on the ground.

Miyano Akemi pursed her lips and said, "Okay."

The two walked over to Maya Tachibana. Toru Watanabe squatted down and looked at her: "Your name is Maya Tachibana, right?"

Miyano Akemi was stunned again.

McAllen knew this killer? That's right, after all, they used to be in the same circle.

Maya Tachibana was breathing heavily and was a little surprised that Toru Watanabe knew her.

"you know me?"

"I've heard of it." Watanabe Toru said, "Okay, let's get down to business. Who sent you here?"

Tachibana Maya was silent for a moment: "I don't know either. The employer's identity is confidential. I just need to complete the task."

Watanabe Toru nodded: "When did you accept the mission?"

"The night before yesterday."

"It seems certain that the Suzuki Group's rivals are out to get you." Watanabe Toru looked at Miyano Akemi. "They're not stupid. They know that once the beauty cream is developed, it will give the Suzuki Group an even greater advantage. If they can't buy you off, then wiping them out is the best solution."

Miyano Akemi gritted her teeth and said, "Despicable guy."

Watanabe Toru remained noncommittal. "Now that the matter is clear, can you handle the rest?"

Miyano Akemi nodded, then looked at Tachibana Maya: "Then what should we do with this killer?"

"There are two options: either kill him or let him go."

"Can't you call the police and have her arrested?"
