Chapter 29 My best friend is having a relapse and is seeking medical help online.
Yokohama Port.
Looking at the enormous cruise ship belonging to the Suzuki family docked at the shore, Bai Yexiu couldn't help but marvel at how vast and powerful the Suzuki family truly was.
He came here today because he received an email from Kaito—Kaito asked him if he wanted to come to this cruise ship to see his performance today.
Coincidentally, the president of a certain financial company was on his assassination list this month. That president had arrived on this cruise ship today, so Bai Yexiu thought he could do a mission while watching Kaito's performance, which would be a way to entertain himself during the assassination.
However, Byakuya Xiu did not intend to kill the company president immediately, because if he did, the charge of murder might fall on Kaito for some reason.
To avoid being targeted by the assassin, Byakuya decided to carry out the assassination after Kaito left.
At the entrance to the cruise ship, several police officers and Suzuki Foundation staff were standing there checking tourists' identities; an invitation was required to enter.
Indeed, this banquet was quite grand; those present were either wealthy individuals or company presidents.
To be honest, Bai Yexiu also wanted to go in disguised as a chain-wielder, because everyone here is rich, and of course, many people would need an information broker.
For a renowned intelligence broker, finding business at such a banquet couldn't be easier.
But Conan is on this cruise ship!
This was something Bai Yexiu had foreseen in advance; all the things that would happen tonight flashed through his mind.
That day at the hotel in Izu, Conan had already assumed that "Bound Chains" was a member of the organization. If he were to go in today disguised as Bound Chains, his assassination mission would likely not go so smoothly. So today, he disguised himself as "Rich First-Generation Connections" Ryuzawa Ikuya. He even made a point of dressing more formally today.
"Halt! Please show your invitation." A staff member from the Suzuki Foundation stopped Bai Yexiu.
Bai Yexiu was well-prepared. He asked the boss to pull some strings for him, allowing him to obtain an invitation as a "rich second generation." At the same time, he also facilitated friendly exchanges between the organization and the Suzuki Group.
When the staff saw Bai Yexiu's invitation, they were surprised for a moment, and then said very respectfully, "Please come in. We are very sorry for offending you."
Bai Yexiu moved back and forth in the banquet, searching for his target. Many people looked at Bai Yexiu with curiosity, wondering which family's young master this was.
Sharp-eyed Conan spotted Shirayuki. Thinking about it, it wouldn't be surprising if Shirayuki attended such a banquet, since he seemed to be someone with connections.
"Brother Longze!" Conan waved to Bai Yexiu from afar.
Bai Yexiu heard the sound and went over. He habitually patted Conan's head.
He's really addicted...
Ran Mouri saw that Shirayuki had exchanged pleasantries with him, and she realized that this person seemed to be someone with connections, just like them and Sonoko Suzuki—they were also connected through connections…
"Eh... this is..." Suzuki Sonoko's eyes practically jumped onto Byakuya Osamu.
This junior is so handsome and has such a refined air about him... If he were a few years older...
Just as Sonoko was staring in disbelief, Ran Mouri pinched Sonoko's arm and gestured with her eyes for her to stop staring at someone like that.
Suzuki Sonoko winced in pain, then blushed and hastily reached out her hand to Bai Yexiu, speaking rapidly without pausing: "Hello, my name is Suzuki Sonoko!"
"It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Ryuzawa Ryuya." Bai Yexiu smiled and used his usual polite phrases, extending his hand to shake hands with Suzuki Sonoko.
Looking at the handsome junior schoolboy in front of her, exuding elegance and a unique charm, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but regret that she was three or four years older than him. If they were the same age, she would definitely have won him over... But he was just a junior schoolboy who looked like he was in middle school, so she could only look on from afar...
Bai Yexiu took this opportunity to look around, searching for the club president.
After circling the banquet venue twice, Bai Yexiu finally found his target. At the same time, the banquet began.
Okay, now that we've identified our target, we can relax for a bit and not rush into killing him.
On his way to the restroom, Byakuya saw Ran Mouri in a red dress ahead. Remembering that Ran Mouri was also part of Kaito's plan, he thought he might as well help her out.
He acted immediately. Bai Yexiu walked without making a sound, concealing his presence perfectly. He easily circled behind the karate expert Ran Mouri and delivered a sudden chop to her hand.
As soon as Ran Mouri fainted, Kaito suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He clapped his hands and said, "Your skills have improved a lot since then. Thank you for helping me."
"I didn't do this for you for free." Bai Yexiu gave a cryptic smile.
"Huh?" A bead of cold sweat trickled down Kaito's cheek. Looking at the malicious smile on Byakuya's face, Kaito had a very ominous premonition.
"I want you to put on this lady's red dress in front of me, and remember, you have to put it on in front of me~" Bai Yexiu said, pretending to be shy and covering his face.
"..."
When did Bai Ye develop such a perverse sense of humor?
"You're going to delay my important business." Kaito picked up Ran Mouri and ran away.
"Hey..." Bai Yexiu's attempts to persuade him to stay were unsuccessful. So he sent Kaito an email.
[Did you know? There's only one option for cross-dressing: zero times or countless times. — Xiu]
Kaito felt his phone vibrate, glanced at the email Bai Yexiu had sent him, and pursed his lips—
He actually wants me to change into women's clothes in front of him? What a pipe dream.
After a while, Bai Yexiu returned to the banquet, and "Ran Mouri" arrived shortly afterward.
Bai Yexiu carefully observed his best friend's physique and couldn't help but express his admiration.
Ran Mouri felt a sharp gaze and turned her head to see Bai Yexiu with a subtle expression.
Bai Yexiu met Ran Mouri's gaze, his eyes flashing as he made a frantic, suggestive remark.
Without a second thought, Ran Mouri turned away and ignored her best friend.
My best friend is having a medical episode and is seeking medical help online.
Seeing that Kaito was ignoring him, Byakuya Osamu boredly opened his phone and started checking the file of today's target.
The organization targeting him today didn't say they wanted to cause an accident to kill him, so dealing with this target was relatively simple for Bai Yexiu.
He could either shoot him in the crowd or throw a scalpel; he could do whatever he wanted.
Therefore, Bai Yexiu was filled with anticipation for this mission. Who wouldn't like such a simple mission that he could even slack off on?
Bai Yexiu took a sip of juice with a smile, his right hand in his pocket, his fingers rubbing the gleaming silver scalpel inside.
