Gin doesn't want to work hard

This time, Shuichi Akai did not refuse. After taking the phone, he dialed the number directly in front of Kurosawa.

Seeing this, Kurosawa got up and got out of bed.

"Mr. Kurosawa?"

Akai Shuichi said with some doubts.

"I'm going to stay outside for a while."

"Come in after you finish your call."

Kurosawa said considerately.

Knowing that it was his previous behavior that caused some misunderstanding to Kurosawa, Akai Shuichi felt a little guilty.

"No, it's nothing shameful. Just stay here."

Kurosawa hesitated when he heard this.

"You really don't need me to leave?"

"I can go to the bathroom."

Upon hearing this, Shuichi Akai closed his eyes. He now regretted leaving without explaining to Kurosawa.

"It really doesn't matter."

Just at this moment the phone was picked up and Judy's voice came from the other side.

"Hello? Mr. Kurosawa?"

"Why are you calling me at this time?"

"Have you found any fun games you want to share with me?"

Although it was late, Judy's voice still sounded full of energy.

Since Shuichi Akai was using Kurosawa's cell phone, Judy mistook him for Kurosawa.

Seeing that Kurosawa was still hesitant, Shuichi Akai simply made his intentions clear with actions.

"It's me, Judy."

“…Shuichi?”

Judy on the other end of the phone was obviously confused.

There is no doubt that this number belongs to Kurosawa, and Judy made a special note about it.

"it's me."

Akai Shuichi explained.

"I'm calling you from Mr. Kurosawa's cell phone. He's next to me right now."

After hearing what Shuichi Akai said, Judy also reacted.

Her voice turned serious.

"What happened?"

Shuichi Akai did not rush to answer, but gestured for Kurosawa to sit down first.

Seeing this, Kurosawa sat back on the bed silently.

The moment Akai Shuichi's gaze looked away, Kurosawa smiled silently.

Chapter 222 "Kudo Shinichi"

The moment Shuichi Akai spoke, Judy knew that this matter was not simple.

Since Akai Shuichi had to change his phone several times to talk to himself, he must have been in some trouble.

And this time I used Kurosawa's phone...

Could it be that someone from the organization took action against Kurosawa and the others?

A guess flashed through Judy's mind.

She clenched her hands involuntarily, feeling a little anxious.

But since Shuichi Akai contacted him and his voice sounded as calm as usual, it meant that things should still be under control.

Judy suppressed her uneasiness and waited for Shuichi Akai's explanation.

Hearing the sudden rapid breathing on the other end of the phone, Shuichi Akai knew that Judy was worried about him.

He then spoke.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"I met Gin..."

Shuichi Akai briefly told Judy about his previous experiences.

Of course, the fact that he was seriously injured was concealed.

Apart from some trouble with his right hand in a cast, Shuichi Akai was confident that he wouldn't let Judy see his injuries.

Judy did not doubt what Shuichi Akai said.

Although she was still a little worried, since Shuichi Akai said he was not injured, Judy was not in a hurry to go back.

In Osaka, she also encountered something worth noting.

"Shuichi, I met Kudo Shinichi."

Hearing Judy's words, Akai Shuichi was slightly stunned.

Kudo Shinichi?

Didn’t he become the kid named Conan?

Thinking of Conan, whom he had just met not long ago, Akai Shuichi asked.

"Are you sure it's you?"

"From the looks of it, yes."

Judy continued, thinking back to what happened that afternoon.

"Many students at Teitan High School know him, and he can join in the conversation when they talk about the past."

"I also talked to him a few times, and his reactions were very natural, and his personality was the same as we investigated before."

Akai Shuichi understood.

Of course, he didn't think this was the real Kudo Shinichi.

But at least, the appearance of this "Kudo Shinichi" was part of Conan and his team's plan.

Akai Shuichi thought so and subconsciously looked up at Kurosawa.

Kurosawa was still sitting on the bed, but he had a game console in his hand.

As if he had noticed Akai Shuichi's gaze, Kurosawa's hands kept moving, but his eyes had already looked over there.

Akai Shuichi shook his head to indicate that it was okay, so Kurosawa withdrew his gaze and started playing the game again.

Obviously, he was not interested in the conversation between Shuichi Akai and Judy.

But it must be said that Kurosawa's performance made Akai Shuichi feel a lot more relaxed.

If Kurosawa just sat there and stared at him, Akai Shuichi would still feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Putting "Kudo Shinichi" aside for the time being, Akai Shuichi began to ask Judy about her own situation.

"How are you?"

"Nothing unexpected happened, right?"

Judy chuckled at that.

"Except for the unexpected encounter with Kudo Shinichi, there was nothing else."

"As for Vermouth, she hasn't shown up yet."

"But I'll find her somehow."

When Judy mentioned Vermouth, her voice became noticeably deeper.

Obviously, she has some obsession with Vermouth.

Akai Shuichi, who knew Judy's past, was silent for a moment.

From Judy's words, it can be seen that she has no intention of coming back.

When it comes to Vermouth, Judy can't give up easily.

Akai Shuichi understood this.

Knowing that it was unlikely to persuade Judy to come back and his physical condition would not allow him to go to Osaka, Shuichi Akai could only remind her.

"The organization may send more than just Vermouth to Osaka. You must be careful."

Judy naturally believed in Shuichi Akai.

She didn't ask Shuichi Akai where the information came from, but just said it seriously.

"I understand, Shuichi."

"After all these years, I won't act impulsively at a time like this."

Now is the time when they have the best chance of catching Vermouth.

After several years of tracking, they did not find nothing.

At least they knew Vermouth's whereabouts very well.

As soon as Vermouth reveals any flaw, they can take action and capture her!

Akai Shuichi hung up the phone.

He couldn't get to Judy's side by himself.

but……

Shuichi Akai thought of the "Kudo Shinichi" mentioned by Judy.

Conan flashed through his mind.

Maybe talk to him.

……

at the same time.

Osaka.

On the top floor of a large hotel.

Vermouth and Amuro Toru compared the information they had collected with each other.

Earlier, they booked the entire floor as their temporary residence for the next week.

With the idea of ​​coming early and leaving early, the two took a plane to Osaka early in the morning.

The first thing I did when I arrived was to find a hotel with a better environment and book the top floor.

As a stronghold, it must not be too shabby.

As for the organization's base in Osaka...

Anyway, there is no hotel that is comfortable to stay in.

Two people who are not short of money will naturally not put themselves in a difficult position.

On the contrary, because the other party had similar ideas to themselves, the two of them liked each other a lot more.

Having said that, the two of them had no intention of acting together.

The two people who had the same idea of ​​slacking off thought that the other party was sent by Gin to monitor them.

With this idea in mind, they naturally would not intend to act together.

When Toru Amuro tentatively suggested acting separately, Vermouth immediately agreed.
