Chapter 601 Becoming Friends
On the main road of Beika Town, a red Ford Mustang was speeding aimlessly.
The driver of the vehicle kept his eyes straight, obeyed the law and drove seriously all the way.
Two people with very different temperaments seemed to be confronting each other in the back seat. The man in the knitted hat, who looked like he was not someone to be trifled with, had a firm and confident smile on his face. The high school student with a childish and gentle appearance clenched his teeth, with determination in his eyes.
When Mao Lilan heard what Akai Shuichi said, she broke out in a cold sweat. As it involved the safety of Edogawa Conan, she was not willing to do so. So she thought that it would be better not to mention Edogawa Conan if possible, and it would be best to hide Edogawa Conan.
Anyway, what Si Xuanyu said was also revealing some seemingly true but actually true information. Mao Lilan specially asked Haibara Ai for help and reference on how to make this "seemingly true but actually true" information to the extreme.
As a former member of the Black Organization and the developer of Drug A, Haibara Ai has some experience in how to publicize her research results to attract the attention of several parties without revealing the complete truth.
Mao Lilan originally planned to brag about the matter of drug A, but not to reveal the situation of Edogawa Conan.
Unexpectedly, before she even started to fool people, Shuichi Akai said this directly.
Mao Lilan's hair stood on end. Could it be that the situation of me, Edogawa Conan, had already spread without her knowing?
If that's the case, will their plan still work?
But if that's the case, then why didn't anyone come to catch Edogawa Conan? Maybe the situation isn't that bad?
Or maybe the person in front of her actually knew nothing and was just trying to defraud her?
Or maybe Shuichi Akai's words weren't referring to Conan Edogawa. If you think about it carefully, there are more magical things happening around her than just this one...
Hmm? That's not right. Who said no one came to arrest people?
Didn't the guy in front of them sneak into their house? There was also an FBI disguised as an English teacher in their class.
Mao Lilan's mind was in a state of confusion, and the car fell silent for a while.
But Mao Lilan quickly adjusted her mood. She said coldly: "Many people have adventures. For law-abiding citizens like us, being infiltrated by the FBI is already an adventure."
Akai Shuichi raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Ms. Maori is right. Well, then please tell me your secret, Ms. Maori?"
Seeing that Mouri Ran frowned, Akai Shuichi reached out and pressed a button, and a baffle rose between the back seat and the driver's seat, separating the interior of the car into two spaces.
Akai Shuichi turned his head and said, "Can I tell you now?"
He pretended to search the car twice. "Don't worry about bugs, Ms. Maori. If I can't guarantee safety in my own car, then it's the same anywhere else."
At this moment, Mao Lilan didn't really want to continue the conversation. Akai Shuichi's words upset her mind. She wanted to talk to Si Xuanyu first.
But she also knew that if she didn't continue speaking now, subsequent plans would be more difficult to carry out.
So Mao Lilan could only bite the bullet and continue with her previous speech: "I have a channel and learned that the Black Organization has developed a drug that can prolong life and keep youth forever. It is codenamed APTX-4869."
Akai Shuichi's expression remained unchanged, but his tone was full of emotion: "Immortality..."
Mao Lilan gritted her teeth: "There have been some conflicts between me and the members of the Black Organization. I know that ordinary police officers are no match for them. Only organizations like the FBI can help me fight against the Black Organization. I won't let you work for nothing. I can help you get that medicine."
"You?" Akai Hide glanced to the side, his brows slightly furrowed: "We in the FBI don't have the habit of using a high school student's life to make up for our crimes."
Seeing that Mao Lilan was not convinced, Akai Shuichi shook his head and said, "Ms. Mao Li, you are really not suitable to be a negotiator. How about you take me to talk to Miss Si?"
The vehicle finally stopped at the place where Mao Lilan first got on the vehicle. As soon as Mao Lilan got off the vehicle, the vehicle quickly left the place.
Ran Mao Li stood there for a while in frustration, then took out her cell phone dejectedly and hailed a taxi again, heading to No. 11.
Just as Hiroki Sawada had extracted all the Japanese high-ranking officials and the "cocoon" users who could replace those high-ranking officials, and was checking the invasion status of these people's brains one by one, Mao Li Ran thanked the driver dejectedly, got off the car, and entered No. 11.
Zhao Zhen, who was cooking, saw Mao Lilan with a sad face. She put down her work, walked over and asked with concern: "Hey, Xiaolan, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Mao Lilan forced a smile and shook her head at Zhao Zhen: "I'm fine, Aunt Zhen. You are cooking, you must be working hard, is there anything I can help you with?"
Zhao Zhen waved her hand: "Well! This is the salary we get, what's the hard part? If you want to eat something, tell Aunt Zhen. Aunt Zhen can't help with other things, but I can still take care of your diet."
Mao Lilan smiled sincerely: "Okay, thank you Aunt Zhen. I don't have anything special to eat."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Okay, Xuanyu and the others are on the rooftop, you can go and play with them. I don't need to help here, I'll call you when the meal is ready."
Mao Lilan nodded: "Okay."
After quickly cleaning the dust off her body, Mao Lilan went up to the rooftop.
As soon as I got out of the elevator, Shan Hai Jing and Hiroki Sawada looked over.
Hiroki Sawada frowned, raised his hand to close the computer, and flew directly to Mao Lilan. After circling Mao Lilan, he motioned for her to lift her foot, pointed at the heel of her shoe and shouted: "That guy is really not honest! He planted a bug in you!"
Mao Lilan was stunned and looked in the direction indicated by the Shan Hai Jing. At first glance, she didn't see anything wrong, until she took off her shoes and held them close to her eyes, then she saw the thin sticker that was almost integrated with the sole.
She took off the sticker and examined it carefully, and finally found a chip the size of a grain of salt hidden in the sticker.
She was so angry that she broke the chip with her fingernails, and then said in annoyance: "I was too careless."
Shan Hai Jing patted her shoulder and said, "It's not your fault. It's all because Akai Shuichi is so cunning! But, what other equipment did you bring today? Why don't you bring them all so we can check them."
Mao Lilan nodded hurriedly and was about to go downstairs to get her bag. Sawada Hiroki called her and said, "Sister Xiaolan, let me see your phone too."
Mao Lilan was surprised and said: "I never took out my cell phone when I was in contact with him."
Hiroki Sawada explained: "It may have been hacked, but it won't be a big problem. Let me take a look first."
Mao Lilan's pupils shrank. There were a lot of chat records in her phone. If it was hacked, wouldn't all the secrets be seen?
She immediately handed the phone to Hiroki Sawada: "Hiroki, please help me check it. I'll go downstairs and get my bag up now."
Mao Lilan ran all the way and took the bag that was placed in the hall to the rooftop for Shan Hai Jing to check.
This investigation actually revealed something.
There is a bug on the strap of the bag, a camera on the side of the bag, and a locator inside the bag.
Mao Lilan gritted her teeth and destroyed those things one by one, and then she worried that the clothes she was wearing when the note was thrown at her might have been tampered with.
Shan Hai Jing patted his chest and said, "It's okay. I'll accompany you back to the Maori Detective Agency later. No matter how many bad things there are, I, Shan Shan, promise to find them all for you and destroy them all!"
Mao Lilan hugged Shan Hai Jing gratefully and rubbed his little head with her face: "That's great! Thank you Shan Shan, I'm lucky to have you!"
The Classic of Mountains and Seas holds its head high with pride.
At this time, Hiroki Sawada, who was checking the phone, finished his work and concluded aloud: "There are indeed signs of attempted intrusion, but fortunately I have upgraded everyone's electronic products before, so the other party did not succeed."
After hearing this, Mao Lilan finally relaxed. She had just recalled it carefully. Today, she did not directly mention anything that could not be said. Those things could not get anything from her.
As for yesterday, she took a shower and changed her clothes as soon as she got home, then threw all the clothes she took off into the washing machine. Her shoes and bag were the same as today.
She saw the note when she was packing her bag, but thinking that she had to go out the next day, she didn't take out the things in it. She put them together with the bag in the cabinet at the entrance, and put her shoes in the shoe cabinet. It was dark inside, so she didn't think she would find anything.
Now that it has been confirmed that there is nothing wrong with the phone, the secret has not been leaked.
Fortunately, Shanshan and Hongshu discovered it in time today, and she didn't have time to discuss their plan with Xuanyu.
Otherwise, everything will be over if the FBI eavesdrops on us!
Mao Lilan looked terrified. She couldn't help but feel around suspiciously, "Is there anything else? No, I need to take a shower and change clothes! I need to take out this bag, clothes, and shoes and throw them all away! And I don't want any of the things in the bag either!"
Fortunately, these are not expensive, otherwise Mao Lilan would be heartbroken.
If it weren't for the fact that buying another mobile phone is really expensive and Hiroki Sawada's ability is so trustworthy, Ran Mouri would have wanted to change her mobile phone as well.
Si Xuanyu opened his mouth and wanted to say that it was not necessary. With the power of Shanhaijing, there would be no spy equipment that he could not find.
But seeing how uncomfortable Mao Li Ran was, Si Xuanyu sighed and thought, "Forget it, forget it, just let her be." There's nothing wrong in changing clothes to make herself feel at ease. Anyway, Mao Li Ran and the others all have a set of spare clothes in No. 11, so they don't have to worry about having nothing to wear.
Seeing Mao Lilan hurriedly walking downstairs, Si Xuanyu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Hiroki, give Akai Shuichi a warning."
Hiroki Sawada nodded, turned on the computer, summoned Noah's Ark, and with his fingers flying, he captured the one he was looking for from trillions of signals and pulled it out roughly.
Shuichi Akai, who had just returned to the FBI base, was in a meeting with his colleagues. Hearing that the equipment on Mao Li Ran was destroyed, he was not surprised: "She really went to find Si Xuanyu first. What a pity. If she went somewhere else first, maybe we could get more information."
Shuichi Akai smiled and was about to continue the meeting when he saw the small light of the projector on the side suddenly flash. His eyes fixed and his body leaned back, moving away from the projector.
The next second, the projector turned on, and black words on a white background appeared on the wall: [Hands that are too long will be chopped off! ]
Akai Shuichi's pupils shrank.
Several FBI agents nearby also saw this scene and asked in surprise: "What is this?!"
Shuichi Akai's face darkened. He stood up and walked to the projector, pulling out the plug. The projector then went off.
Judy Stelling looked serious and asked, "Is it Si Xuanyu?"
Kamal exclaimed: "No way! Our base has been invaded?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion around.
Judy Steling said in a low voice: "Calm down! Why are you panicking? Are you scared by a few words?"
The people around were shocked by Judy Stelling and fell silent for a short time.
Judy Stelling turned to look at Shuichi Akai: "Investigator Akai, do you want to evacuate first?"
Akai Shuichi pursed his lips and said, "Let's retreat first. Spread out and be careful."
Upon hearing this, the FBI agents immediately went out in an orderly manner, each showing their special abilities and hiding themselves.
When almost everyone had left, Judy Stelling stood up and prepared to clean up, but when she saw Akai Shuichi not moving, she stopped again: "Xiu, is there any problem?"
Akai Shuichi rubbed his brows and said, "It could be that the projector was just hacked. Have you forgotten? There is a computer genius beside Si Xuanyu."
Judy Stelline pondered: "You mean that person can remotely invade a projector that he has never touched? Is this possible? If someone has such ability, then doesn't this mean that the world has no secrets for him?"
Akai Shuichi lowered his eyes: "Yes, if he has such ability, then she is almost omniscient and omnipotent..."
Judy Stelling still didn't believe that someone was so powerful. In comparison, it was more credible that someone had sneaked in here and tampered with their projector.
She frowned: "Xiu, did you find anything?"
Akai Shuichi shook his head: "It's just a hunch."
intuition?
Judy Stelling did not refute when she heard this. People in their line of work all have some unspeakable intuition. She herself had once saved a life by relying on her intuition at a certain moment.
But if they rely solely on intuition, their work will not be able to proceed. Most of the time, she still believes more in solid evidence and scientific logic.
Judy Stelline stood up and said, "No matter what, I'll go check it out first. This place can't be used anymore. We need to clean it up."
Shuichi Akai didn't respond or move. He lowered his head and stared at the projector that had just been torn into pieces by Kamal who was waiting to evacuate, but he didn't find anything unusual.
He also hoped that he was just overthinking.
According to his long-term attention to Si Xuanyu, Si Xuanyu's power system is extremely mysterious and powerful, even to the point of being magical.
Even the Black Organization, which he had always regarded as his strongest enemy, had to retreat within a shooting range in front of Si Xuanyu.
Yes, it was in front of Si Xuanyu, not in front of the Si Group.
In Shuichi Akai's opinion, rather than saying that Si Xuanyu is the heir of the Si family, it would be better to regard Si Xuanyu as the patron of the Si family group.
The Black Organization has developed rapidly in recent years. If it weren't for Si Xuanyu, the Si Group could at most reach a situation of competing with the Black Organization.
But now the Black Organization is clearly wary of the Si Group.
Perhaps most people think that this is because the Si Group is well managed, but Shuichi Akai, who once worked undercover in the Black Organization, sees it very clearly that no matter how well a group like the Si Group is managed in the open, the Black Organization will not have such an attitude.
It is clear that the Black Organization is afraid of Si Xuanyu!
Akai Shuichi rubbed his fingers together a few times and raised his eyes slightly.
Si Xuanyu is so powerful, so of course Akai Shuichi should be her friend.
