"Ahahha, what are you saying, Kayama Nii? We're not following you." Conan let out an awkward laugh as he stepped forward.
Halfway following Kayama Ichiro, Conan bumped with Eisuke Hondo and the other party was also trying to follow him. So the two of them ended up cooperating together in order to follow Kayama Ichiro smoothly.
Kayama Ichiro gave a fake smile and then he asked, "I heard that you tried to follow the second bomber and nearly ended up as the hostage last time?"
This was the follow up details of the previous case.
More than about reasoning, it was more like a chase between the police officers and the second bomber who tried to run away and hide. In any case, the case was solved with Megumi Aiko beating up the culprit once again.
He saw the news report and saw how miserable the culprit looked like.
It seemed that Megumi Aiko was barely holding back.
She was really fierce…
"That's not…" Conan took a deep breath and then looked conflicted. While he wanted to have a good talk with Kayama Ichiro, Eisuke Hondo is also a suspicious person that Conan couldn't trust. So he didn't really dare to say anything openly.
"Uhm, nice to meet you?" Eisuke Hondo asked hesitatingly.
Conan: "..."
Kayama Ichiro: "..."
The two of them looked at Eisuke Hondo speechlessly but seeing the other party nervous expression, the two of them could only sigh.
And since Kayama Ichiro seemed to be quite angry… Conan let out an awkward laugh and then said, "Nice to meet you too, Kayama Nii? It's a coincidence that we meet here."
Kayama Ichiro: "..."
Even though Kayama Ichiro knew that the two of them were lying, but he could only look at Conan deeply and then said slowly, "Nice to meet you~, but I would appreciate it more if you could stop following me."
The two people let out an awkward laugh.
"So, can you tell us what you're doing here, Kayama Nii?"
"Can't you see?" Kayama Ichiro arched his eyebrows.
"Huh?"
"I'm taking you two for a walk." Kayama Ichiro gave a wicked smile.
Conan: !!!
Eisuke Hondo: !!!
…
In any case, no matter what Conan and Eisuke Hondo were thinking, Kayama Ichiro would never tell them the truth.
Telling them that he was actually an intelligence dealer?
No way.
Anyway, Kayama Ichiro went back home after that and no longer cared whether Eisuke Hondo nor Conan were following him anymore.
He had already finished his current task and hadn't taken other intelligence requests anymore. Besides, he had enough money for the next period of time and Kayama Ichiro was satisfied with it.
'That high school student is also quite rich… I've struck gold this time.'
Kayama Ichiro was very satisfied.
He didn't have to take on more tasks for at least another week.
After all, based on his spending, this amount of money actually wouldn't last long. He was not a person who would wrong himself and will definitely aim for a comfortable life.
Money is there to be spent.
Rather than saving it all the time and never enjoying the money, wouldn't it be better to spend it all for himself?
Anyway, Kayama Ichiro felt really good.
The problem is…
Conan still hadn't given up.
And not only that, Kayama Ichiro also painfully realized that Eisuke Hondo had developed an interest in him and would like to follow him around from time to time when they were at school. Thankfully, the real reason why Eisuke Hondo was here was to find his sister, so he didn't pay that much attention to him.
But it didn't change the fact that Conan was really troublesome!
Just imagine being followed by an elementary school student for hours after the school was over and being followed and monitored by a high school student during the day?
Even if this was only for a week, Kayama Ichiro already felt like going crazy.
Being watched by others like this was really uncomfortable!
Not to mention, Eisuke Hondo's tracking method was really not good, okay! He kept on tripping over various things, basically giving himself out from time to time.
Kayama Ichiro felt pain just thinking about how he had to pretend not to know the other party.
Let him off!
He's not part of the black party and not part of the red party either!
He's a third party, a small intelligence dealer who was trying to make his living!
In the end, Kayama Ichiro couldn't help it and poured all of his grievances in their chat group.
…
[High School Student [2]: Is this Eisuke Hondou so stupid? I feel that whenever he falls down, my IQ will be insulted. His body coordination is really bad, isn't it?
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: Why don't you just ignore him, no. 2?
High School Student [2]: I can't! These damn two are dog skin plasters. Conan has been following me a lot and in turn, Hondou Eisuke is also following me. Now I have to stay in the game arcade for a long time just to dispel their suspicion.
University Student [6]: Let me guess, you didn't succeed.
High School Student [2]: …
Megumi Aiko [4]: Why are you in the game arcade, anyway?
High School Student [2]: My image is someone who likes gaming and I also used this method to do some transactions secretly. But I can only let my client come when there's no Conan around. Otherwise, he will definitely know that something is wrong with me.
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: Well, Hondou Eisuke will leave after Kir's part of the case is over.
University Student [6]: Just be patient, no. 2.
Doctor [9]: If you really can't help it, my hospital is always open.
Artist [11]: Pfft. That's your fault for making him suspicious, no. 2.
Journalist [12]: How long has it been?
High School Student [2]: Nearly two weeks… ever since that damn bombing incident. No matter how I said that I don't know the bomber, Conan seems to think that I have some connection.
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: He might have suspected that you don't really like those games you're playing. If you're not a real avid gamers, it might be difficult to disguise yourself as one.
High School Student [2]: Ugh, then it's troublesome…
Hmm? No. 1? You're done with your business? We haven't heard from you for two weeks.
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: It's done. I'm going back to Japan because Gin wants to take Kir out of the hospital.
High School Student [2]: Ehh? It's already this arc? HAHAHHAHAHAHA!
Megumi Aiko [4]: No. 1! Thank you for before. I owe you one and if you need my help, just say it.
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: It's nothing much, no. 4. And if you want to participate in this case, remember to be careful because I'll be on the scene to chase after Akai Shuichi.
High School Student [2]: …I'll pass! I want to finish my work.
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: I don't want to seek death, so no.
University Student [6]: Can you just show a live broadcast or something, no. 1?
Doctor [9]: I don't think it'll be convenient for no. 1 to put on a live broadcast. So how about putting a bug around Conan.
Artist [11]: …Do you think it's possible to do so without being found out by that brat?
Journalist [12]: Let me try if I can set up the Nichiuri TV near the hospital and let you watch the chaos instead. This one should be possible.
High School Student [2]: Great, no. 12!
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: Nice onee!
University Student [6]: Ooh, this is such a good option!
