Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 576 Conan: It's hard to coax him, really
Conan was shocked by Kudo Yusaku's serious explanation.

But what shocked him even more was the conversation between his father and Hiroki:

"You just show up here like this, aren't you afraid of being discovered by that person?"

"It's okay, Uncle Yusaku. Since I agreed to come here, I'm already prepared... and even if he finds me, he won't be able to do anything to me, right?"

"I'm glad you don't feel any pressure. If so, I wish Mr. Lin and his team success in their plan."

"Well, thank you, Uncle Yusaku."

Conan was confused by the conversation: "Dad, Hiroki...what are you talking about?"

Kudo Yusaku smiled at his big-headed son and stretched out his hands twice, "Well, you can go and read the news about Syndra Corporation a year or two ago. Well, I'm here as a background designer for the game Cocoon. I still have some things to do. You guys just have fun here now."

"Hey! Dad! Wait a minute!!"

Kudo Yusaku is the type of person who leaves when he wants to, and no matter how much Conan calls out, he can't be kept back.

In order to avoid attracting too much attention, Conan didn't dare shout too loudly.

Conan, whose thoughts were originally clear, suddenly became confused again. He looked at Hiroki with eyes full of confusion and bewilderment: Kudo Yusaku's words just now were very obvious, implying that Hiroki also had another identity.

...Besides being a young computer genius and a hacker from Mr. Lin's "Masked Gang", what other identities does Hiroki have?

Conan doesn't quite believe what his father said, that Rei is ICPO.

Facing Conan's gaze, Hiroki also seemed very calm. He continued to poke the pastries like Haibara Ai, but he mourned for Conan for two seconds in his heart - as expected, his biological father was more deceptive and temporarily cleared his and Uncle Lie's illegal identities.

Perhaps out of sympathy for the "underdog", Hiroki calmly forked another piece of cake and handed it to Conan: "Here."

Conan, who was very indulgent in front of his parents, was somehow weaker in front of Hiroki and took it silently: "Well... Thank you, um, Hiroki you..."

Who is that person?
Hiroki, who saw through Conan's thoughts, blinked and said, "Guess?"

Conan: "..."

What the hell was he guessing? It looked like Huiyuan knew something, right? Damn it, they had kept him in the dark about everything!
No, he would contact the doctor to check Hongshu's true identity after he returned. He had never paid much attention to the news about Syndra Company before.

...Wait, the Doctor wouldn't team up with his dad to hide this from him, right?

Conan felt that he had been deceived and even began to doubt the people around him to a certain extent.

Ai Huihara and Hiroki watched Conan go from an emo look to deep thought, then stared at each other for a while, shrugged, and continued to eat their cakes as if nothing had happened, while pretending that Conan didn't exist:

"Mr. Lin has been gone for a while."

"Well... Uncle Lin might be doing something. He is always restless."

"Come to think of it, will the organization's people really come? The press conference is about to start. If we want to take action, it would be a better time before the press conference starts, right?"

"It's fifty-fifty, but Noah discovered a suspicious signal at Syndra Company before, so there's a high possibility that they'll come... Let's wait and see."

Conan: "..." It's over, he can't keep up with his friends.

Suddenly, Conan suddenly realized: "Habara...then, you don't know what happened this morning, do you?"

Huihara Ai turned her head and said, "I know, but I believe that Teacher Judy will be fine."

"…I hope so."

Conan was struck by these words and felt heavy-hearted again. He took a bite of the pastry that Hiroki had just handed over to him and felt a little better.

He could only hope that the organization would come to the scene, and Akai Shuichi could capture someone to find out the whereabouts of Judy teacher. Otherwise, he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't know Judy teacher's situation for a day. After all, if Judy teacher hadn't met him, she wouldn't have caught up with the organization's people, and she wouldn't have disappeared suddenly...

"Huh? Isn't this Conan?"

Suddenly, a carefree young female voice came from their side.

Yuanzi walked over quickly in a long dress and looked around. "Where's Xiaolan? I just looked around, but I can't see her. And where's Mr. Lin? Didn't he come with us?"

Conan came back to his senses and pointed forward: "Sister Xiaolan just said that she saw Mr. Tuyuan, and went with Uncle Maori to follow..."

Sonoko also remembered that a few days ago, Tsuchimoto Mikami said that he would attend the press conference. When she heard that her best friend was in front, Sonoko immediately abandoned Conan and the other three and squeezed into the crowd in front.

Conan felt helpless when he saw this.

But he didn't feel helpless for long. Hiroki next to him suddenly stared at the exit for a while and said, "Well, I'm going to the bathroom. You guys can talk slowly."

"...?"

Conan stuffed his mouth with pastries and watched Hiroki run in the opposite direction of the toilet. He felt what a heart attack was like.

Can you please fool him properly? Just do the whole act!

With a throb in his heart, Conan wanted to follow Hiroki to see what he was going to do.

As soon as Conan took two steps forward, someone grabbed him by the collar:
"where are you going?"

Huiyuan Ai's cold voice floated up, and Ke shuddered when he heard it: "I, I'll go see what Hongshu is going to do..."

"Oh, didn't Hiroki say he was going to the bathroom?" Huihara Ai's strength is no less than when she was an adult, and she easily carried Conan back. "Edogawa-san is really a pervert, even following him to the bathroom."

Conan was irritated by the slightly sarcastic voice of Huihara Ai and glared at her: "Traitor!"

When did their revolutionary friendship break down?!
Huiyuan Ai smiled lightly, with a contemptuous expression: "I am indeed a traitor to the organization... Is there any problem?"

To be honest, she was also kept in the dark at the beginning, but she was not kept in the dark for as long as Conan... Speaking of which, Conan is actually still in the stage of being kept in the dark. At least Conan doesn't know anything about Gin's identity, and he doesn't even have a general idea about the Five-Star Group.

Furthermore, her most beloved sister has long been bound to the Five Star Group, and now her own life and property are also connected to the actions of the Five Star Group. Last time her identity was discovered by Vermouth, if it weren't for the Five Star Group backing her up, Haibara Ai really couldn't imagine what she would have done.

Anyway, I'm not on the same side as Conan, so how can there be any betrayal?
