If Haibara was really captured by Regel, then wouldn't his mother have also had direct contact with Regel?
Given my mother's nosy personality, there was no way she would sit idly by and watch Regel take Shirley away.
Similarly, based on Regel's behavior, he certainly wouldn't let his mother act recklessly in front of him. At that time...
When Conan thought of the situation that was likely to happen, he felt his hands and feet go cold and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
If he was alone, he would not be afraid of a confrontation with the Black Organization.
But if his family was involved...
He suddenly felt a little regretful. After Kudo Yukiko had changed his appearance for him this morning, why didn't he quickly urge his mother to leave Japan and leave the center of this storm? Why did he let his mother convince him with all her twisted ideas...
"I won't let them fall into the situation you described!"
"Oh~ You chose to avoid the unfavorable situation? You are really the smart guy who likes to be clever~" Yoko Okino exposed his little thoughts without any hesitation.
"You...!" Conan glared at her, but unfortunately in the eyes of Okino Yoko, his anger only made her feel cute.
"Is there anything wrong with what I said? Avoiding the problem won't solve it, so isn't your avoidance just a clever cover-up?
Well, stop thinking about these useless things and tell me your answer right away."
Okino Yoko patted Conan's face and said with a smile.
"Ah~ I see. You think that Shirley is protected by Regler, so nothing can happen to her, so this question can't be true, right?"
Yoko Okino suddenly realized and looked at Conan with a playful look in her eyes.
"Well, let's change the candidate now. If you have to choose one of your father and your mother to kill, who do you choose, little detective?"
Conan's heart tightened instantly, and he was keenly aware that this might be the question that Yoko Okino really wanted to ask him.
But he didn't understand why Yoko Okino was so interested in his parents?
Did she already know his true identity?
This is impossible. He obviously didn't even tell Amuro Toru and Mizunashi Rena, so why would she...
“My parents have no connection with the organization.”
"Look, you're trying to be smart and avoid the question again. This time you've even learned to lie..."
Yoko Okino sighed, very disappointed with him.
"I'm not sure about your father, but your mother must be in Japan now, right?"
Conan's pupils suddenly shrank.
"After all, I can tell which company made the disguise mask on your face..."
"Sizzle!"
As Yoko Okino spoke, she raised her hand and tore off the disguise mask on Conan's face. Looking at his panicked face, murderous intent appeared in her eyes.
"Am I right, Kudo Shinichi?"
When his real name was called out in such a situation, Conan felt that his heart almost stopped beating.
"W-why? You..."
"Don't worry, there is no problem with your disguise, except that you often like to show off at the crime scene. But this little problem is not enough to make the organization notice you."
Rubbed the fragments of the mask in her hand with her fingers, and said slowly:
"The answer to the question is actually very simple, because your real flaw is actually somewhere else, like this disguise mask is one of them. The Kuroba family's disguise technique is unique in the world. The only person in the world who still masters their disguise technique and has not been controlled or monitored by the organization is your mother, Kudo Yukiko.
As long as someone who knows the situation does a little research in this direction, they can easily find out your identity. It's incredibly simple."
"What are you going to do to my parents?!"
His biggest weakness was easily revealed by her. Conan first felt a deep fear, then the fear turned into anger, and finally into an inexplicable courage, which made him roar loudly.
Sometimes, Yoko Okino really admires people like this. They can't even play a useful card, but they always dare to act like "I'm your dad".
"Snapped!"
So she pulled Conan out from under Rena Mizunashi's body and slapped him in the face.
"Have some respect, little brat."
He threw him to the ground and looked at Yoko Oono with cold eyes.
"I'm not like the old man and the others. I have no interest in spoiling you."
"cough!"
The slap she gave was so powerful that half of Conan's face became red and swollen, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
Chapter 539: The Old Man is Old
"cough!"
After being slapped by Okino Yoko until half of his face turned red, Conan was thrown heavily to the ground. He curled up on the ground, coughing softly.
Because his hands had been tied up by Toru Amuro before, Conan couldn't even reach out to wipe the corners of his mouth.
However, he did hear a special meaning in what Yoko Okino said just now.
The old man... indulges?
The "old man" she was referring to must be Regel, but what does this "indulgence" mean?
Reger was indulging him? Why?
Conan believed that under the current circumstances, Okino Yoko would never deliberately lie to him again.
The reason was simple, she had no intention of letting him leave the screening room alive.
The reason why I haven't taken any action yet and have been talking to him for so long is only one reason -
She is enjoying the process.
Just like the process of killing Scotland and the killing of Rena Mizunashi just now, Yoko Okino has an unusual obsession with the process of killing.
She likes to torture the people she wants to kill before they die. This torture can be physical or mental.
But no matter what, Yoko Okino would never actually take action until her heart was satisfied with the pleasure of this torture.
Because simply shooting someone to death doesn't give her any pleasure.
So, Yoko Okino is not in a hurry to kill him now, is it because she thinks she hasn't tortured him enough?
"What on earth do you want to do to my parents?"
Thinking of this, Conan propped himself up on the ground, looked up at her, and asked with difficulty.
Yoko Okino definitely didn't bring up this topic casually. Since she said it, it means to a large extent that the organization is actually planning to take action against his parents?
"Not 'we', it's me."
Okino Yoko squatted in front of him, with a smile on his face again.
At this moment, she was like a cat playing with a mouse, admiring the final struggle of her prey.
"Because the old man won't do anything to you."
"What... did you say?" Conan couldn't understand what he was saying.
Regel won't do anything to him?
If it was just Haibara, it would be understandable, but why was he included in this?
"Don't think too much. There's no complicated reason behind this. It's just that the old man is particularly nostalgic."
Having said that, Meishu sighed softly, seeming a little helpless.
"I just mentioned to you that the old man's obsession with these 'old feelings' can even be said to have reached an extreme level.
As long as the old man cares about someone, he will indulge them without any bottom line, and the more the old man cares about them, the more he will indulge them.
Of course, I have always understood the old man's behavior.
After all, my mother had a very good personal relationship with the old man when she was alive, so I do have some understanding of his past.
Throughout his life, he kept losing people around him, such as the old man, his mother who died young, his former fiancée, his former best friends, which even included my mother...
This process of constant loss has gradually made him develop an abnormal obsession with the people around him. He doesn't want to see anyone he cares about die again, and it has even reached the point of paranoia.
Under normal circumstances, this would be nothing. At most, he would be seen as an old man who loves his child.
But the key to the problem is that the old man is not an ordinary person. He is Regel, the number two in the organization.
Among those people he cared about, there were also many who were not ordinary, and some even stood on the opposite side of him.
Tell me, little detective, if you were faced with this situation, what would you do?
Yoko Okino looked at Conan, but Conan did not answer her.
At this moment, he was racking his brains and thinking hard.
According to Yoko Okino, the true identity of Reger must be someone around him, and must have a special relationship with his family. Only in this way can she explain the "indulgence" she mentioned.
[Who is it? Who are you? ]
And Okino Yoko didn't care. She turned back and continued to talk to herself:
"Anyone with a normal mind knows that in this situation, you should not be soft-hearted or have any concerns.
But unfortunately, this is the old man's only and most fatal weakness.
In everything else, he was perfectly calculated, machine-like and deadly.
But he could not make up his mind about these matters. He just kept giving in and avoiding them. Now he had no more room to retreat and had forced himself into a desperate situation...
Of course, as I said just now, I understand the old man's behavior and have no intention of correcting his thinking.
After all, he doesn't have much time left. Forcing the old man to kill his former close friends with his own hands at this time is too cruel for him.
So, this is something we should actually do.”
Having said that, Yoko Okino shook her head slightly and sighed again.
"Ah Jing is actually very clear about the old man's situation, or should I say she is clearer than me. After all, she has spent more time with the old man than I have..."
【Ah Jing? 】
