"Okay, ladies, please wait a moment~"
"Oh, that's right, Xiaolan."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly looked at Mao Lilan and asked:
"Isn't Ah Ying back yet?"
A week ago, Karasuma Ying suddenly went to the small kingdom called Andrew in Eastern Europe.
Since this small kingdom has very few external flights, only once a week, Karasuma Ying can only wait there for the next flight seven days later before she can return.
Calculating the time, Karasuma Ying should have returned to Japan yesterday or today at the latest...
Seeing Suzuki Sonoko suddenly bring this up, Mao Lilan explained: "Sister Ying sent me a message yesterday morning, saying that she had to go back to the United States temporarily for something, and might not be back for another two days..."
As she spoke, Mao Lilan opened her cell phone and showed Suzuki Sonoko the text message that Karasuma Ying sent her yesterday.
"I see." Suzuki Sonoko sighed softly, "I always feel like Ying has been in a lot of trouble recently. It's only been a week, but it feels like I haven't seen her for a long time..."
"Maybe something happened at Sister Ying's family?" Mao Lilan replied uncertainly.
Wu Wanying is originally an American. This time she suddenly went abroad and then returned to the United States. Maybe something happened at home?
"She actually left us alone and ran around abroad! When she comes back, I will catch her and ask her everything! If she doesn't tell me, I will beat her!" Suzuki Sonoko said gritting her teeth.
"Here, ladies, your ice cream." While the two were talking, the dark-skinned and blonde waiter handed over a paper bag containing six ice creams.
"Haha, this is difficult. Sister Ying is very good at fighting..."
After taking the paper bag, they turned around and walked towards the resting place, Mao Lilan said with a smile.
"No matter how powerful they are, will they attack me? We must break off our friendship! Hmm? Look, Xiaolan! It's those little ones!"
Suddenly, Suzuki Sonoko noticed that not far in front of them, the three children from the Junior Detective League surrounded a staff member wearing a stuffed bear costume on the side of the road.
In it, Ayumi fell to the ground, and the stuffed bear was bending down and squatting to help her up.
Behind the teddy bear, Genta and Mitsuhiko took the opportunity to hit the teddy bear hard on its back.
"Two little brats! Stop!" Suzuki Sonoko shouted loudly with her anger soaring.
However, it was too late. With a click, with the joint efforts of Mitsuhiko and Genta, the unstable teddy bear fell forward to kneel on the ground, and the teddy bear headgear on her head fell off.
"How many of you!"
On the roadside of the Fountain Square, Suzuki Sonoko hit the heads of the three little ones and Conan one by one.
"Conan, how could you do such a thing..." On the side, Mao Lilan looked at the four little ones helplessly.
"We, we just want to take a look at Sister Mingmei inside the teddy bear, and then, take a picture with her..." Yuantai covered his head and explained in a low voice.
"Uh-huh……"
"How dare you nod? Apologize to me now!"
"Sorry..." The four of them lowered their heads and said to a figure next to them.
The figure was wearing a puppet costume and holding a teddy bear mask in his hand. His face was ruddy and beads of sweat were running down his cheeks and neck. He was very beautiful.
Obviously, she is Haibara's biological sister who was supposed to have been killed, Akemi Miyano who appeared on TV yesterday.
At least that's how it looks.
"It's okay, it's normal for children to be a little naughty... Okay, stop lowering your heads, raise your heads now." Miyano Akemi said to the four people with a smile.
[His face is ruddy, and he is sweating profusely... The organization's disguise technique cannot achieve this level.]
Conan raised his head and took a closer look at the face of Miyano Akemi in front of him.
[In other words, this face of hers is not a disguise... but her real appearance? ]
How could this be possible... Is it true that Miyano Akemi is not dead?
But, she suddenly appeared here...
At this moment, the scene in front of Conan was being transmitted back to Dr. Agasa's computer in real time through the miniature camera in the button on his chest.
"I am so sorry."
After the four little ones apologized, Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran also apologized to Miyano Akemi.
"Don't be like this, it's really okay." Miyano Akemi said with a smile.
"To be honest, I have to thank these children. Now I have a good reason to go back and rest. Can I? Miss Sonoko?"
Miyano Akemi winked at Suzuki Sonoko.
"Of course! Go ahead, just tell them that I allowed you to do that!" Suzuki Sonoko replied with a smile.
Just like that, after saying goodbye to everyone, Miyano Akemi walked towards the staff lounge in the distance.
Chapter 374 Undercurrent
In the amusement park, while the farce was unfolding in the square, on another bench not far away, a blonde woman wearing sunglasses and a sun hat was silently watching the scene.
"The target's identity has been confirmed. It's Miyano Akemi." The blonde woman spoke as she looked at Miyano Akemi who was talking to Mouri Ran and the others.
"Are you the ones taking action?" asked the voice in the headset.
"No, it has nothing to do with us. Some naughty kids knocked off her hood." The blonde woman licked the ice cream in her hand and explained.
"Didn't you see it wrong?"
"You're not mistaken. She looks exactly like the person on TV yesterday... And the skin color and sweat on her face don't seem to be something that can be done by a disguise."
The blonde woman said this while frowning slightly.
"Although this person's sudden resurrection is indeed somewhat surprising, is it really appropriate for us to waste so much energy on her?"
"She is Shirley's sister. According to the information provided by Tumihua before her death, she is a very important key to finding the missing Shirley." The voice in the headset explained.
Tu Mihua is the deceased FBI agent Jian Gongxin, who was also the original proposer of the garden project.
"Is Shirley really that important?" the blonde asked.
"Whether she is important or not can only be determined after we find her. The only thing we can be sure of at the moment is that Regel's transfer back to Japan is most likely related to her in some way.
Shirley's existence may involve the core secrets of this black organization."
"Reger..."
The blonde nodded, her tone meaningful.
"Do you think this Miyano Akemi in front of you is real or fake?"
"That's not important. It's enough as long as Shirley believes she is real." The voice in the headset replied.
Shirley is their real target, and Miyano Akemi is just a stepping stone for them to achieve this goal. As for whether this springboard is made of wood or plastic, they don't really care.
"Ah, she left."
Although she was talking to the voice in the headset, the blonde woman was paying close attention to the situation ahead.
At this time, Miyano Akemi and Mao Li Ran waved goodbye, turned around and walked away alone.
"Looking at the direction, she should be going to the staff lounge."
"It's almost time, let's act according to the plan. There should be members of the Black Organization near her. Be careful and don't reveal your identity." The voice in the headset reminded.
"understood."
Just as she finished the ice cream in her hand, the blonde woman stood up and threw the carton into the trash can next to her.
"But then again, don't you think our way of communicating is really weird... Sister Mary?"
After hearing her words, the voice in the headset let out a soft sigh.
"Carly, I've told you many times not to call me sister during missions."
"Yes~"
At the same time, at the ice cream shop where Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko visited before, the dark-skinned and blond waiter Toru Amuro also immediately noticed Miyano Akemi who turned to leave.
"She's starting to take action, Kiel." Amuro Toru said in a low voice while skillfully mixing the milk tea in his hand.
His voice was transmitted through the earphones in his ears to the ears of Rena Mizunashi who was on the other side of the amusement park.
"Bourbon, if I remember correctly, it's not time to act yet, right?"
Rena Mizunashi, who was also wearing a staff uniform and was guiding a group of tourists onto a roller coaster, asked with a frown.
Her position was right near the back door of the amusement park.
"There was an accident. A group of kids knocked off her hood and her face was exposed early. We had no choice but to move up the time of the operation."
Toru Amuro explained, glancing at Conan in the crowd with a puzzled look.
[Why is that child here too? Is it a coincidence? Or...]
"Do you need me to mobilize the members who are lying in ambush around here?" Rena Mizunashi asked in the headset.
"No, just let them stay where they are for now. The other party should also have people lying in ambush and on standby around here, so don't let your guard down." Toru Amuro replied.
Since Miyano Akemi was attacked by someone from an unknown organization yesterday, Regler made some minor adjustments to their mission objectives this morning.
In addition to the original purpose of inducing Shirley to show up, they also have to deal with the attacks from this unknown organization. If possible, it would be best to capture a few valuable prisoners and find out the details of these people.
"Are you sure that the mysterious organization will take action today?" asked Rena Mizunashi's voice in the headset.
"Here, this is your milk tea."
Handing the paper bag of milk tea to a pretty lady, Amuro Toru replied very honestly:
"uncertain."
"what……"
"But no matter what, as long as their target is Miyano Akemi, as long as Miyano Akemi is still in our hands, those people will definitely take action. If not today, then tomorrow. If not tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow. Anyway, they will always take action..."
"You are really patient."
"Enough patience is a necessary condition for waiting for success," said Toru Amuro confidently.
He was very dedicated in organizing this operation, not only because Regel personally asked him to participate, but more importantly, he wanted to take this opportunity to use the power of the organization to conduct some investigations...
During the Clover Villa incident, Toru Amuro had a vague feeling that there seemed to be a special organization with huge power that suddenly appeared in Japan.
