As the leader of the Black Organization, Karasuma Renya would certainly try his best to eliminate any evidence of his existence after officially disappearing into the shadows.
I just didn't expect him to erase it so thoroughly, that not even a single photo could be found.
This completely dashed their hopes of directly exposing Karasuma Renya's true identity, leaving them with no choice but to wait for new clues.
Killing Pisco could yield a clue, and killing members of the same level in the organization would likely provide another opportunity.
Lin Che crossed his legs. "This person is the leader of the organization. Don't you remember him at all?"
Ai Haibara remained silent.
Her voice was serious. "How did you get this information? I've never heard anyone mention it before. Even when they occasionally talk about the leader, they always use titles like 'Boss' or 'that one' instead."
This is also because Ai Haibara was born too late, and Akemi Miyano didn't mention it.
Otherwise, she would definitely know that her parents' research was initially sponsored by the Karasuma Foundation.
Lin Che gave a few casual words to brush it off, then continued to ask, "Is the doctor home?"
"Yes, is there something you need him for?"
"Okay, I'll be right there. Let's go out for dinner together later."
Lin Che hung up the phone and went first, while Curaçao went back to her room to change her clothes.
Upon finding Professor Agasa, we immediately entered his shop. Unfortunately, the professor still didn't sell any equipment; he only provided various materials and upgrade services, as well as some equipment specifically for Conan.
As time goes on and the favorability rating increases, items such as the watch-shaped anesthetic needle launcher, leg strength-enhancing shoes, and bow-tie voice changer have become available for sale.
However, Lin Che didn't think these things were useful to him; their highest grade was only Master.
The black top hat also cannot be repaired by Professor Agasa, and damaged items cannot be upgraded.
The butterfly tattoo can be enhanced, and Lin Che spent a lot of money to enhance it to +5, but only gained some extra attribute bonuses, so he felt that the enhancement was not very cost-effective.
Lin Che pressed his hand against his lower back; it seemed he still had to find Lisael.
Chapter 146 Professor Agasa's Game Invitation
After leaving the store, Professor Agasa reverted to his kind-hearted old man form and suddenly asked:
"Mr. Lin, are you interested in video games?"
Lin Che nodded, "I quite enjoy playing games, but the ones on the market right now don't suit my taste."
In terms of timeline, Lin Che has traveled forward twenty years.
During this time, video games have undergone countless upgrades and innovations. He himself has no passion for them, so he has never been interested in current games and doesn't have much free time to play them.
Professor Agasa nodded. "Haha, no wonder you, as a young person, almost never play games."
Lin Che countered, "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Dr. Agasa lowered his voice, "I went to the United States a few days ago, actually because I was invited to participate in the development of a groundbreaking game."
"The game is in its final stages, and the launch exhibition has been arranged in Japan."
"I was thinking that if you, Mr. Lin, are interested, I could try to get you a chance to experience it."
Lin Che's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Isn't this just like "The Phantom of Baker Street"?!
"You absolutely must help!" Lin Che grabbed Professor Agasa's hand. "I'm very interested in this!"
"But..." Professor Agasa scratched his head, "I haven't even said what kind of game it is yet."
Lin Che said that if a game is called a groundbreaking game by Professor Agasa, it must be extraordinary, and he had to experience it no matter what.
Through a combination of deception and coaxing, they finally managed to finalize the deal.
Dr. Agasa thought to himself that the mission was surprisingly simple.
Inviting Lin Che to participate in the game experience was actually entrusted to him by Yusaku Kudo, who said he wanted to take the opportunity to get to know this young man.
Kudo Yusaku is, after all, a father. It would be a lie to say he wasn't worried at all when such a person suddenly appeared in his son's life and moved into his house.
Going back to China directly to investigate or conduct an on-the-spot probe would be somewhat inappropriate. Finding a reasonable opportunity to make open and aboveboard contact would solve the problem.
Moreover, in Yusaku Kudo's view, reasoning ability is a good indicator of a person's lower limit of ability and can also help in judging the difficulty of a person's interactions.
This large-scale reasoning game, designed by him, is excellent at testing various abilities, including reasoning.
During Lin Che's conversation with Professor Agasa, Ai Haibara and Curaçao continued to exchange glances.
The little girl felt that this amnesiac member of the organization was becoming more and more womanly.
And it's that kind of... mature feminine charm.
How should she describe it?
It's roughly like... she transformed from a pure and bright girl into a woman whose every glance, gesture, and movement exudes charm?
This description should be correct.
More importantly, Curaçao subconsciously kept a shorter physical distance from Lin Che, and would look at Lin Che tenderly from time to time, with the corners of her mouth involuntarily turning up.
Ai Haibara couldn't help but suspect that Curaçao and Lin Che had already had something happen between them.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became.
But she couldn't accuse the two of them of anything.
If anyone is to blame, it's her own fault.
She no longer has her original body, and she doesn't reveal any of her feelings to Lin Che.
"Doctor, it's settled then. If there's nothing else, let's set off now. It's on me."
Lin Che was in a good mood and was unusually generous.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Ran Mouri called again.
The girl with superhuman strength once again invited him and Curaçao to the carnival, which was to be held the day after tomorrow.
Lin Che handed the phone to Curaçao.
Curaçao politely declined, saying she was busy and couldn't get away.
Lin Che followed suit and refused, citing work reasons as the reason for not being able to get leave.
He didn't want Curaçao to be seen by Vermouth, and he especially didn't want himself to be seen by Vermouth.
He would definitely need to use his own face to participate in the carnival, and the organizers were quite familiar with his face.
Thinking of this, Lin Che regretted that he didn't have any sources of information within the organization, otherwise he could have asked if the organization was still investigating the USB drive and himself.
How about we try to win over Rena Mizunashi too?
Lin Che immediately thought of a female character and thought the idea was very plausible.
Even if we can't win over Rena Mizunashi to our harem, at least we can gain a relatively stable source of information.
Ran Mouri learned that Lin Che was at Professor Agasa's house, so she didn't make any more calls.
As a result, not only did Professor Agasa say he might not have time, but Ai Haibara also directly refused.
This left the girl with superhuman strength feeling very disappointed.
"You guys go eat, I'll stay home. I've been staying up too late lately and my appetite isn't very good. I also think I've caught a bit of a cold." Ai Haibara glanced at Lin Che, then looked down at her toes.
But after a moment, she tossed her hair, looked up and stared straight at Lin Che, her expression unchanged.
This left Lin Che somewhat unsure whether the little girl genuinely had no appetite or was simply in a bad mood due to something else.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Che nodded, "Okay, Doctor, pack one for Ai when you get back later."
The three of them left quickly.
Ai Haibara looked at the empty room, her expression no longer concealed, a mixture of coldness and loss.
She staggered back to the lab to continue her research on the antidote.
"In any case, at least we should meet him properly as he was."
......
After dinner, Professor Agasa drove home, Curaçao continued her mission, and Lin Che took the initiative to contact Lisa.
It was quite a coincidence that the other party said no one was home and told him to come over quickly.
A very ordinary two-story detached house was lit with warm lights.
It's likely that Lisa's fiancé would feel a warm glow in his heart every time he came home at night because of this lamp.
Unfortunately, behind the warmth and comfort lay lies and betrayal.
The evening breeze swayed the curtains through the window cracks, and the human-shaped shadows reflected on the curtains swayed and changed shape.
If you listen closely, you can also hear Lisa's wild and satisfied humming.
As the moon rose higher, the wind gradually subsided.
"Isn't it exciting?" Lisael poked Lin Che's chest with her index finger. "I have no idea when he'll be back."
Lin Che moved his neck to make it fit the pillow better, "It's quite stimulating."
Lisa didn't get the answer she wanted, and frowned with regret, "I'm thinking about whether we should break up. Anyway, I have a suitable status now, and I'm more free to live alone."
Lin Che didn't respond, but instead took the opportunity to go into the store and start shopping.
All the equipment sold by Lisael, except for the two-color bomb, is still out of stock.
Lin Che assembled a complete tactical suit for himself, demanding the highest possible quality, and asked Lisaer to prepare the supplies for him.
In her NPC form, Lissard doesn't waste time with words; she'll do anything as long as you pay her.
Once she's out of NPC mode, she becomes much more talkative.
Keep squeezing!
Lin Che was lucky again today and wasn't caught red-handed by Lisa's fiancé.
After finishing his business, he didn't go home, but immediately went to Mizunashi Rena's residence.
The other party's address was not difficult to find. As a well-known and beautiful host, Mizunashi Rena did not need Ai Haibara to help. Lin Che could find the relevant information on the sasaeng fan forum himself.
Rena Mizunashi lives in an old residential building, which is not quite in line with her economic status.
Lin Che didn't want to beat around the bush and went straight upstairs to knock on the door.
Chapter 147 Controlling Rena Mizunashi
It's neither too early nor too late now; Rena Mizunashi has only just arrived home after a busy day.
She usually sits down and rests for a while first, and drinks some sweet water or wine if the situation permits.
She got scolded by her boss today and was also hinted by some shameless guys that they wanted to take advantage of her, so she prepared a big glass of wine to drown her sorrows.
As an undercover agent, I spent my days just going to work and hardly participated in any organized activities.
Is this right?
I finally managed to participate in an operation a few days ago, but not only did I not do anything, I was also completely confused about the operation. I couldn't understand why Pisco was suddenly shot in the head, or why Vodka died too.
If it weren't for her father's dying wish and her concern for her younger brother, she would have long since lost her temper and sought an opportunity to shoot Gin!
boom--
Rena Mizunashi slammed her wine glass onto the table and then let out a burp, completely lacking in decorum.
It was at this moment that a knock came at the door.
“At this time…” Rena Mizunashi instinctively glanced at the time first.
She rarely gets visited on weekdays, and to avoid trouble, she deliberately avoids making friends.
The only people who would come here at this time are probably from the organization, right?
Why wasn't she informed beforehand?
Has her undercover identity been exposed?
Rena Mizunashi thought of many things in an instant, and the drunkenness that had just surged up dissipated on the spot. The alcohol hadn't even had much effect before it turned into sweat.
