Toru Amuro picked up the coffee and took a sip, then suddenly spoke.
Since there were not many people in the cafe and the two of them were sitting in a corner, they didn't have to worry about being heard by others as long as they spoke in a lowered voice.
"What? You want to investigate my past?" Hearing this, Kil neither admitted nor denied it.
"I didn't have such thoughts. I just suddenly felt a little emotional. We haven't had much communication in the past five years, but now we are forced to sit here and drink coffee together because of an inexplicable list. It's really... unpredictable."
"I don't think so." Kiel understood the meaning of Amuro Toru's words.
Toru Amuro was testing her.
I deliberately expressed my dissatisfaction and suspicion towards the organization in my words in order to observe her reaction.
Based on her reaction, we can further determine the authenticity of her undercover identity and whether she is a friend or an enemy.
When a loyal member of an organization faces such a sudden suspicion, he or she will more or less feel dissatisfied with the organization, and some radical members may even give up on themselves.
At this time, Toru Amuro was deliberately creating such an image.
Although both of them were on Curacao's undercover list and were suspected of being undercover agents, he still did not dare to easily expose himself in front of Kiel before it was thoroughly confirmed. He could only fabricate the position of "loyal servant of the organization" for himself to test Kiel.
So, how should Kiel respond to the temptation from Toru Amuro?
"There's no point in saying this now."
She chose not to respond.
Completely ignoring what Amuro Toru said, Mizunashi Rena also took a sip of coffee and said in a calm tone:
“Rather than talking about those useless things, I am more concerned about how you, Bourbon, are going to catch that undercover agent from the Metropolitan Police Department?
We have already wasted two days here. Don't tell me you want to wait for the undercover agent to walk out of the Metropolitan Police Department and shout "I am an undercover agent" in front of us?
Even if Regel didn't set a time limit, I don't think he would just watch us sit here and do nothing."
Although Regler's request was for her to gain the trust of Toru Amuro in this "cat and mouse" operation, trust is something that takes time to gain.
If she responded immediately to Toru Amuro's test, it would instead arouse Toru Amuro's vigilance.
She still needs to continue acting, and in the process reveal her "friendly stance" little by little.
So, don't be impatient.
As a member of the organization, Rena Mizunashi naturally had some understanding of Toru Amuro.
This is definitely a man with terrifying abilities, and any negligence on her part could become a flaw in his eyes.
"It sounds like, Kiel, you seem to have already found a way to find the undercover agent?" Toru Amuro didn't care about being interrupted by Kiel and asked further.
"There is no solution, but I do have some ideas."
On the way home from school, Karasuma Ei, Maori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko picked up Conan at Teitan Elementary School and walked towards Maori's office together.
"It's strange, Sonoko, Mr. Shimizu didn't come to pick you up today?"
Facing Mao Lilan's question, Suzuki Sonoko smiled complacently and said, "Hehe, I am his sister-in-law, just his brother-in-law, so he must listen to me~"
However, before she could feel proud for even two seconds, Wu Wanying ruthlessly exposed her with a smile.
"Mr. Shimizu told me before that it was Sonoko who said she wanted to visit Mr. Mori's house today. After begging Mr. Shimizu for a long time, he agreed not to pick her up today..."
"Wow! Ying, how did you know about this?!"
Her lies were exposed, and Suzuki Sonoko blushed and pounced on Karasuma Ying with her teeth bared.
"Ah, Mr. Shimizu texted me this afternoon."
Karasuma Ying held Suzuki Sonoko with one hand, took out her cell phone with the other hand and played the text message she received in the afternoon.
The content of the text message was roughly something like asking Karasuma Ying to take care of Suzuki Sonoko.
"Strange, Aying, why do you have my brother-in-law's number?"
Being pressed by Karasuma Ying, Suzuki Sonoko glanced at the content of the text message, her brows immediately frowned, and she stared at Karasuma Ying with a scrutinizing look.
"I added it during the previous party at the villa. Mr. Shimizu is a very good cook, so if I have the chance, I would like to learn more from him."
As Karasuma Ying explained, she handed the phone to Suzuki Sonoko, which showed that the two had indeed not had any further communication except for this text message this afternoon.
"Aying, you are not allowed to steal my brother-in-law..." After returning the phone to Karasuma Ying, Suzuki Sonoko glared at Karasuma Ying with a look like a puppy guarding its food.
"No way..." Karasuma Ying smiled helplessly. She has no intention of finding a boyfriend at the moment.
"But it's really unexpected. I didn't expect that Mr. Shimizu would ask Sister Ying to do something like this... Is it because Sister Ying looks more stable?" Xiaolan on the side was a little curious.
"It's really unexpected..." Conan nodded subconsciously beside the three people.
Shimizu Shizuka and Karasuma Ying, both of them were people he thought were "extraordinary".
Among them, Conan even once suspected that Karasuma Ying might be a member of the "Black Organization".
But after the events in Curacao, that skepticism has all but vanished.
However, deep in Conan's heart, there is a doubt about Karasuma Ying that he has never been able to resolve.
Why did Karasuma Ying show such a shocked expression after the police meeting?
As for Shizuka Shizuka, this silent and quiet man, although Conan once suspected that he had a "special identity", this was just his guess and there was no evidence.
Since the villa party, he has not had any contact with this man again.
These two people...
Is there really no problem at all?

Chapter 37 Mao Li couldn't hold it anymore
"By the way, Xiaolan, did the kid say when he would come?"
On the street, after the three of them finished talking about Shizuka Shizuka, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly asked.
【That child? 】
The ahoge on Conan's head suddenly moved.
"Well, he said he would go home to change his clothes and would be here soon." Mao Lilan replied with a smile.
【he? 】
Conan suddenly became alert, looked up at Mao Lilan, and asked in a cute tone:
"Sister Xiaolan, who are you talking about?"
"He's a transfer student in our class. The kid said he wanted to visit Xiaolan's house today." Karasuma Ying touched Conan's head and explained.
"Huh?!" Conan asked quickly, "Why does he want to come to our house?!"
Could it be that, could it be that...
"Hmm~~"
Seeing this, Suzuki Sonoko on the side immediately showed a mischievous smile on her face. She walked up and held Conan's head, smiling and teasing:
"You little brat, you're not thinking that Xiaolan has a new boyfriend, so you're jealous here, right?"
"Sonoko, you really are..." Mao Lilan smiled with a helpless look on her face.
"No, no!" Conan broke free from Suzuki Sonoko's hand and retorted loudly with a red face.
"What's going on?" Staring at Conan, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly thought of a possibility, "You little brat, are you trying to tell Shinichi?"
"I, I don't need to complain to Shinichi-nii-san!"
"Okay, stop messing around and let's go." After greeting the two funny guys, Mao Lilan explained with a smile: "The child actually wants to see his father, not me..."
"Hey? See an uncle?" Conan was stunned and caught up with Mouri Ran.
"Well, that kid is a mystery fan, and he's also a fan of Mr. Mori." said Karasuma Ying on the side.
【So this is ah……】
Conan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that.
Really, he thought it was...
"Little brat~" Suzuki Sonoko suddenly came forward and looked at Conan with a grin, "Why do you look so relieved? Could it be that..."
"No no! I said no!"
"Are you so eager to deny it? Hehehe..."
The four of them gradually walked to the downstairs of the Maori Detective Agency while playing and joking.
Wu Wanying noticed that the shop on the first floor of the office, which had been idle, had been opened, and there were many large cardboard boxes inside, which seemed to be used to pack furniture.
"Xiao Lan, has the shop on the first floor been rented out?" Karasuma Ying turned to look at Mao Li Ran beside her and asked.
"Well, it was rented out yesterday afternoon. The tenants are a very beautiful brother and sister." Mao Lilan replied.
Because Karasuma Ying rented a house outside and Maori Kogoro happened to give her a day off yesterday, she naturally didn't know about this matter.
"Look, these are their business cards." Mao Lilan rummaged through her body and handed the two business cards she received yesterday to Karasuma Ying.
The first business card reads Amamiya Megumi, a host of Beika TV.
The second business card reads "Amemiya Rui, painter".
"Ms. Hui is a host of Mihua TV. She wants to rent the shop on the first floor to her brother, Mr. Rui, to use as a gallery."
"Yeah." Wu Wanying nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
The four of them went upstairs and Mao Lilan opened the door with a key.
"Are you back? Xiaolan?"
On the sofa facing the door, Kogoro Mouri crossed his legs, lowered his head, closed his eyes, and flipped through a book with a low voice.
"I'm sorry you just came back and said that, but could you make me a cup of coffee first? Without your coffee, my brain cells seem to be upset and I can't work soberly..."
Silence, deathly silence.
"Dad...are you okay?" Mao Lilan asked worriedly when she saw her father's strange look.
