Chapter 1006 Is this really Akai Shuu 1?
The next morning, all the people from yesterday gathered at Kudo's house.
Of course, after having a good conversation with Shuichi Akai and learning the whole story, Miyano Akemi drove back to her hometown before dawn.
She has to continue to play the role of a workaholic who is busy working away from home and has no idea that Shuichi Akai is "dead".
In the bathroom, Yuya looked at Subaru Okiya who was skillfully putting on a disguise mask and nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, your technique is getting more and more proficient. I won't have to come over to help you change your appearance in the future. This way it will be more convenient for you to go out in the future."
The two of them came to the living room, and Judy and Camille, who had been waiting there, stood up quickly.
After Shuichi Akai came back, he went into the bathroom with Yuya. When he came out, there was a different person next to Yuya.
They looked at Yuya, and then at Okiya Subaru who came out with Yuya. Even though they already knew the truth, they still couldn't believe it.
"Xiu?" Judy called out tentatively.
Kamal asked directly: "Are you really Mr. Akai?"
"Yeah, the voice is still the same, isn't it?" Akai Shuichi's voice is still the familiar magnetic voice, but the tone, perhaps because of his new face, has become a little different from the one they are familiar with, as if it is a little... lively?
Judy blinked blankly, looked Akai Shuichi up and down, and said uncertainly: "But, other than this, he is completely another person."
Kamal also nodded repeatedly.
"Ah, but just like this," Akai Shuichi raised his hand and pressed the collar-type voice changer on his neck. The next second, his voice also changed, "and he completely became Okiya Subaru."
"!!!" Judy and Carmel were shocked.
"Are you so surprised?" Youya propped up his chin in boredom, "Haven't you seen Vermouth's camouflage technique?"
The two were stunned, and when they thought of the person called the Thousand-Faced Witch, their acceptance level suddenly increased.
"But, Xiu, why do you live here?" Judy looked at the house in front of her in confusion, "What is the relationship between the identity you are playing now and the owner of this house?"
She asked this question in order to understand Shuichi Akai's recent movements and to learn more about his current identity in order to avoid accidentally revealing any flaws in the future.
Yuya explained, "Mr. Akai originally wanted to live in an inconspicuous small apartment, but unfortunately the apartment caught fire and burned down. So I used my identity as a fellow Sherlock Holmes fan to lend him this house that had been unoccupied for a long time."
"But, if the owner of this house or their son, Kudo Shinichi, came back and saw a strange man in the house, would he..."
Yuya's relationship with Kudo Shinichi was no secret, and even now, when the latter had just disappeared and Yuya no longer hid his reputation, one would hear people comparing the two young high school detectives.
So it's no surprise that Judy knew.
"No," Yuya waved his hand, "I've already talked to them, and they agree that Mr. Akai can stay here."
"Shinichi also said that when he comes back, he must have a good discussion with Mr. Akai, no, Mr. Subaru about Sherlock Holmes."
"Is that so?" Judy said blankly. How come she didn't know when Shuichi Akai started to like Sherlock Holmes?
Oh, that’s not right. Yuya was talking about Mr. Subaru, so it’s Subaru Okiya who likes Sherlock Holmes?
Yuya brought a few cups of coffee and a glass of juice, and everyone sat down in the living room.
Shuichi Akai briefly recounted what had happened, and when they heard that even James knew about the fake death plan, Judy and Camille cried out in surprise.
"What, James also knew about this plan?"
Akai Hide nodded: "I didn't intend to tell him, but..."
When he received the call from Rena Mizunashi, James wanted to call Judy to come out, but Shuichi Akai didn't have time to speak and could only grab his phone to stop him.
But she didn't want him to see the cuticle on her fingers, so she had no choice but to tell James her plan.
Judy couldn't help but complain: "If that's the case, why didn't you tell us about it?"
Akai Shuichi said slowly: "Didn't I say it before? To deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your own people. Besides..."
"Besides?" Judy wondered.
"No, nothing." Akai Shuichi shook his head. "Didn't they start the investigation from you? If you knew the truth, it would have been exposed at the beginning."
"This..." Judy and Camille were speechless for a moment.
Akai Shuichi pinched his chin and said: "However, only that man took a risk in order to make him aware of all this."
What Shuichi Akai was talking about was the sneak attack on Toru Amuro on the Suzuki Express, which made him suspect that Shuichi Akai was not dead and thus launched an investigation.
Kamal asked tentatively: "Are you talking about the Bourbon named Amuro Toru?"
Akai Hideya nodded.
And the result was just as they expected. Toru Amuro successfully found out that he was disguised as Subaru Okiya.
But he didn't expect that Toru Amuro didn't come to see him alone, but came with a large group of his men to arrest people.
Akai Shuichi frowned slightly: "It seems that his hatred for me is deeper than I thought."
Judy remembered what Akai Shuichi said on the phone, and couldn't help asking: "The resentment you mentioned, is it what you said when you were on the phone with Bourbon..."
"Ding dong!"
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and Judy subconsciously closed her mouth and looked towards the entrance.
Conan jumped off the sofa and trotted over to open the door.
When I opened the door, I saw that it was the three little brats from the Junior Detective League.
Conan asked in surprise: "Why are you guys here?"
Seeing Conan, the three excited kids immediately frowned: "Conan, why are you here?"
"Um, something..." Conan subconsciously made an excuse, but immediately realized that he was the one who asked first, "Wait a minute, I asked first, right? How did you get here?"
Mitsuhiko explained, "We originally wanted to ask Yuya-nii to solve a puzzle, but Mio-nii said he was over here, so we came over here. By the way, we can also ask Subaru-san to help us with it!"
At this time, Youye and others also came over.
Akai Shuichi used Okiya Subaru's voice to invite, "Conan, it's inconvenient to talk standing at the door, can everyone please come in together?"
Judy and Carmel were surprised to hear Shuichi Akai's gentle tone, even though it was not his original voice.
The two of them immediately showed a look of astonishment - is this still the cold and cruel Akai Shuichi they know? How could he be so gentle to a child?
"Great!"
"excuse me!"
After hearing this, the three little kids ran into the house immediately.
Genta excitedly asked Akai Shuichi: "Is there any curry left?"
Akai Shuichi smiled and said, "There's still a little left. I'll go heat it up later."
"Great!"
Hearing this, Judy and Carmel's expressions became even more horrified - what did they hear, curry? Akai Shuichi, who only knew how to drink canned coffee, could actually cook?
