Chapter 34 You didn't expect that, did you? I'm slacking off again.
Danyuan Mountain.
Bai Yexiu reluctantly obtained the mountain entry permit, his eyes glancing at a suspicious couple in the distance.
He had just finished a task today and was eating barbecue at a restaurant when Gin saw him and said he was free, so he "happily received" a task.
Bai Yexiu: MMP.
Why does Gin always seem to think he's so idle? How does that make him, a semi-model worker in the organization, look like he's got all the pride in him? I'm a semi-model worker myself, after all!
Bai Yexiu was furious when he remembered what Gin had said.
This unexpected mission stemmed from the organization's original plan to send someone to rob a bank, but two individuals beat them to it. Subsequently, the organization decided that the intelligence team would track down the two robbers, while the action team would go find them and retrieve the money.
And Bai Yexiu became the unlucky guy who tried to steal the money.
He hadn't even removed his disguise, and before he'd finished his barbecue, Gin dragged him into the car and forced him to carry out the mission.
Finally, Gin threw him a photo and sent him to Mount Danbara.
The photo shows the couple in the distance.
All he needs to do now is follow the couple and find an opportunity to rob them of the money. And he can't kill them, which puts Bai Yexiu in a difficult position.
The main reason is that the organization has killed a lot of people recently. In order not to arouse suspicion from those with ulterior motives, the higher-ups decided to require the organization members to abide by a rule: do not kill unless absolutely necessary recently.
This added some difficulty to the tasks of some members, including Bai Yexiu.
Bai Ye was about to continue following when someone patted him on the shoulder from behind: "Long Ze-kun, what a coincidence!"
Upon hearing the voice, Bai Yexiu immediately recognized it as Ran Mouri.
So that means...
Bai Yexiu turned around and glanced at Conan beside him.
Help! He felt the mission was getting even more difficult.
Bai Yexiu looked away and exchanged friendly greetings with Mouri Ran.
He was here to carry out a robbery mission for the organization. If Conan was around, Bai Yexiu couldn't openly extort money from him, in case Conan suddenly appeared out of nowhere while he was doing so.
"Hey kid, we're not here to play around," Kogoro Mouri said irritably. He thought it would be fine with Conan coming along, but now another kid has shown up.
"Huh?" Bai Yexiu looked puzzled. "Then you guys..."
“Brother Longze, it’s like this…” Conan gestured for Bai Yexiu to squat down, and he whispered the whole story in Bai Yexiu’s ear.
After hearing Conan's words, Bai Yexiu remembered it. Just like before, the whole plot of the incident, including the final outcome, automatically appeared in his mind.
At this moment, several people gathered around. They looked like Suspect No. 1, Suspect No. 2, Suspect No. 3, and so on, who appeared in the story.
On the winding mountain path, Bai Yexiu walked and talked with Conan about the matter.
At the same time, he also noticed the couple walking behind him out of the corner of his eye: Akira Kawabe and Kyoko Saegusa.
Just now at the foot of the mountain, when that man said his name was Riverside Wanderer, Bai Yexiu almost blurted out that his name was Water Floater. But thankfully he held back.
"I think Silver Fox might be hiding in the mountains, lying in ambush like a guerrilla force, waiting for his chance to strike," Conan said, resting his chin on his hand.
"I feel like your guess is half right and half wrong," Bai Yexiu said casually.
Conan glanced at him sideways with his crescent-shaped eyes: "What you're saying is like saying nothing at all."
"Wow!"
Suddenly, a man screamed from ahead. It turned out that the rope Mr. Chao was holding had snapped, and he almost fell.
"You brat..." After climbing up, the man grabbed the college student by the collar, blowing his beard and glaring at him.
Bai Yexiu gestured to Conan, who was following behind, to the broken part of the rope.
"It shouldn't be. This rope broke on its own. Look at the break; it was already tattered before." Conan spoke with an innocent accent, but his face was serious.
Conan, at least try to act a little more respectable!
This time, Bai Yexiu revealed crescent-shaped eyes.
The misunderstanding was cleared up, and the group continued their ascent.
Seeing Bai Yexiu's light and steady steps, resembling those of a well-trained mountaineer, Conan asked curiously, "Long Ze, are you a mountaineering enthusiast? You seem to be quite skilled."
"Really?" Bai Yexiu smiled and reached out to pat Conan's head. "Little Conan is getting better and better at talking~"
If he weren't skilled, he wouldn't be in the action team.
Conan pulled away from Bai Yexiu's hand with disgust, and then felt a slightly rough texture.
How come Longze has calluses on his hands...?
Conan was slightly puzzled, but his attention was drawn to the suspicious couple.
The couple's eyes darted around, and they seemed suspicious.
Meanwhile, Bai Yexiu was also thinking about how to easily get the money. Because, based on what was going to happen, the couple would always be with these people, and the only chance to make a move would be after Kawabe Akira killed Saegusa Kyoko, when everyone went to look for Kawabe Akira and the cabin manager.
In other words, he can now slack off and doesn't have to keep an eye on the couple all the time; he just needs to wait for them to start fighting amongst themselves.
Gin, Gin, you didn't expect this, did you? I'm just slacking off again.
Bai Yexiu's mood improved considerably. The resentment he felt from being oppressed by Gin also subsided a lot.
In the rest pavilion, Bai Yexiu was taking pictures around with a digital camera, occasionally flipping back to look at the photos he had taken of the fight between the dark blue and the black ones.
"Ryuzawa, what was that photo just now?" Conan suddenly appeared like a ghost.
Bai Yexiu was startled by him, but calmly flipped back to the landscape photos he had just taken and said with a smile, "Sneaking a peek is a bad habit."
That's why he didn't blackmail the couple while they were alive; he was afraid of Conan suddenly appearing out of nowhere and watching the whole thing unfold...
Ah, actually there's another reason too, it's because it's easy to slack off...
"How is this peeking..." Conan said, speechless. It was clearly Ryuzawa's secretive behavior that made him want to peek.
But speaking of which, that photo just now looks like two groups of people are fighting. Why would Longze take a photo like that? And wouldn't the police stop such a serious incident involving two groups of people fighting? And how did Longze manage to take this photo from that angle?
Conan looked at Byakuya, who was focused on taking pictures.
This guy is full of mysteries.
