Chapter 177 - Heading to Kyoto (3)

Perhaps, she could try to match them?

After all, a handsome guy + a beautiful woman is a good combination!

"Sonoko is also beautiful today." 

Hikari Yuki only watched with the same calm and composed look. She looked outside and sincerely wondered whether there would be other cases before their arrival.

Even though this should be part of the movie, there's no guarantee that there wouldn't be other cases happening in the middle.

After all, Conan's attraction to cases was extremely strong.

Hikari Yuki swept her gaze across the train and her eyes flickered slightly when she saw the person walking into the carriage from the bathroom.

'Safari Liqueur…' 

He was also a participant in the turmoil in Osaka at that time, but he was under Malbec's order to deal with a different gang. That way, neither Sake or Bourbon would have many interactions with the other party.

This is the shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto…

Why did he come to Tokyo?

It seemed that Malbec himself was not very quiet and also restless. 

Tsk, no wonder Gin offered to let her borrow his men to Kyoto. But since she needed an intelligent agent more than an action team, he pulled Bourbon over.

She saw Safari Liquor walking past the seat and suddenly stumbled. His hand was holding the briefcase and it was exchanged with the one a middle aged man carried.

The middle aged man was more nervous than Safari Liquor.

Apparently, he was not used to this.

After exchanging the briefcase, he hugged it and looked around.

"Hmm?" Conan saw that Hikari Yuki was glancing at the front and turned his head, so he saw the middle aged suspicious behaviour. His eyes narrowed and he planned to investigate.

The codes can be solved later, but if this man carried something dangerous, then it could be an emergency.

Hikari Yuki had already retracted her gaze and looked at Conan with some apprehension.

Sure enough.

Conan's luck was extraordinary.

Even though she only looked at them from her peripheral or the window to avoid attracting attention, the moment she swept her gaze to look carefully for a split second was caught by Conan.

If he had raised his head one second earlier or longer, he wouldn't have seen Hikari Yuki looking at that man.

She lowered her eyes slightly.

Since Conan planned to investigate, then let him be.

She was also curious about the contents of the briefcase, but her identity was not suitable to move forward. Malbec might know about her identity as Hikari Yuki.

So if she's seen hindering the organization mission…

Hikari Yuki was sure that she would be in trouble. The last Margaret case was already approaching their bottom line because she didn't help.

But when one thinks about Sake and Rum's relationship… they would understand why she didn't take action.

The two people have been fighting covertly for a long time.

"Conan?" Kayama Ichiro was also attracted by Conan's movements and saw that he was staring at someone. He arched his eyebrows and his eyes flickered with interest.

Even though Conan often made things difficult for him, he could also gain a lot of information from Conan's cases. 

These were the things that he will use to get a lot of other information or money.

Ah, money~.

Kayama Ichiro sighed and then stood up to follow Conan.

"Kayama Nii, you…" Conan was stumped.

"Are you going to the restroom? I'll accompany you, Brat," Kayama Ichiro gave the excuse.

Hikari Yuki: "..."

"Tsk, that brat is still a brat. Even going to the restroom needs to be accompanied." Sonoko snorted.

Mouri Ran defended Conan and then talked about other things.

Hikari Yuki was also interested in their small chat.

Ooh, so Conan used that hair product to let his hair grow longer faster. 

No wonder.

It turns out Conan cares a lot for his appearance and purposely buy the product.

Pfft!

While Hikari Yuki was getting information from chatting, Kayama Ichiro was following Conan to the bathroom.

"Brother Ichiro, I just want to check something." Conan was annoyed.

"I'll come and see if it's dangerous."

"Tsk, you…"

The two of them went back and forth before Conan gave up. Kayama Ichiro can be stubborn and he was also someone who liked to get information from others.

He didn't seem to be so righteous, but Conan remembered the time when he was protected by Kayama Ichiro.

Kayama Ichiro was trembling so badly, but he still prioritized saving him.

He knew that this man was actually quite kind.

The two people designed a simple trap to let them check the content of the briefcase. But this wouldn't be easy, so they had to be careful.

When they came back, Conan would pretend to trip to check and Kayama Ichiro lifted him up.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you alright?" Kayama Ichiro used this chance to touch the briefcase with his fingertip and activated his ability.

Even though his ability has limitations, it was still very good.

Hikari Yuki raised her head to look at the two people, her eyes flickered slightly. The fluctuations from the mental power of the special ability was faint, but it definitely came from Kayama Ichiro.

This would allow her to know that he's definitely someone with special ability and he's currently using it.

Her gaze landed on his hands.

Whilst most of it was blocked by the chairs and all, she could see that he was touching the briefcase.

Information from items?

Hikari Yuki summarizes what she knew based on Kayama Ichiro's performance so far. As for how much he knew, it should be limited.

Because the fluctuations were not that strong.

She retracted her gaze and continued to ask Mouri Ran about their recent cases. Seeing her gently telling her about her father's achievements, Hikari Yuki smiled and sighed in her heart.

The Winery really needs to be closed down.

It was really frustrating that these people had to suffer so much.

And many people had died because of them.

"Let's go back, Conan." Kayama Ichiro's expression was not very good.

He had just found out that the contents of the briefcase was a bomb through reading the full 24 hours of the item's memory.

His ability could only be used once a day for a full 24 hours.

He could split the time.

But this time, he knew that this briefcase would be the most important thing.

Moreover, he saw 2 people talking with the briefcase nearly 24 hours ago.

"Safari Liquor, don't overdo it. If Gin found out, even Malbec will not be able to protect you."

"I know. Just do your own business."

Kayama Ichiro looked at the briefcase and pulled Conan away. 

Taking it forcefully wouldn't do.

"Ichiro Nii?" Conan asked.

"Bomb," Kayama Ichiro whispered in a low voice. He can sense Conan stiffening. "Probably timed."

But he couldn't see the content and didn't know how much time was left.

Tsk, this reminds him of the time when Gin and Vodka were bombing someone in the train before. 

"Let's lure him out." Conan gritted his teeth.
