Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 289 Scarlet Chapter (Part 1)

That night, Judy originally wanted to invite her good friend, elementary school teacher Natsuko Shibuya, to go drinking together, but because Natsuko had an appointment with a student's parents that day, they had to postpone it to another day.

After a while, in Haido Park, Toru Amuro and Vermouth were sitting in the car discussing something.

"Who are we waiting for here?" Vermouth was a little impatient.

Amuro Toru showed a photo of Shibuya Natsuko: "Shibuya Natsuko, an elementary school teacher, 28 years old. She is my client and the last piece of the puzzle I have been looking for."

At this moment, the car window was gently knocked twice, and the mercenary appeared in front of the car: "You are still investigating that matter, you are really persistent."

"Negroni? You're involved too?" Vermouth was a little displeased. After all, she was already annoyed by the presence of Amuro Toru, who was good at gathering intelligence. She didn't want her secret to become known to everyone.

"You seem to have been harassing my companions recently." The mercenary crossed his arms and said to Amuro Toru with some dissatisfaction.

Amuro Toru smiled slightly, and immediately knew that the mercenary was talking about the prophet and the priest: "It was just an accident. I didn't expect to run into them in the hospital."

The mercenary frowned and said, "You intelligence guys are really something. Can intelligence be more important than life?"

Amuro Toru still had a smile on his face: "Does this mean that I am about to touch the truth?"

Vermouth had no idea what these two were talking about: "What kind of charades are you two playing?"

The mercenary ignored Vermouth and continued to say to Amuro Toru, "If you die, Gat would be happy to collect your body, provided that you don't die too ugly. If you die by fire, he will be unhappy."

Vermouth shuddered in her heart when she heard the mercenary mention the embalmer. After all, even she, a codenamed member who had served the organization for many years, had never seen anyone as fanatical about embalming as the embalmer.

"Really? I'll be careful, but I'm very tough and won't die so easily." Toru Amuro seemed to have ignored the mercenary's reminder, but in fact, he had already put the danger level of Oritis's experiment at the highest level.

At this moment, a person was pushed down the stairs not far away by another person.

When the three of them rushed over, they saw that it was Natsuko Shibuya lying on the ground, and the criminal ran away when he saw someone coming.

Vermouth frowned: "I think it's better for us not to get involved in this kind of incident that will easily attract the attention of the police."

Amuro Toru smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll take care of this matter, you just need to wait for my news."

Vermouth glanced at Amuro Toru unhappily and turned away.

Just as Toru Amuro called an ambulance, another figure emerged from the shadows of the trees in the park.

"who?"

The person who came out was the professor: "Isn't this Mr. Public Security? It's been a while since we last met. Oh, Naib is here too."

Toru Amuro recognized the professor as the assistant scholar who appeared in the library incident, and the scholar's identity seemed to match the scholar in the prophet's memory.

The mercenary put his hands on his hips helplessly: "Why are you here?"

"I heard Mr. Clark was seriously injured. I read Dr. Messmer's report, and it seems his memory is stuck at the end of the experiment."

Hearing the word "experiment", Amuro Toru asked anxiously: "Are you and Mr. Eli in the same group?"

"I guess so. That experiment left an indelible memory for the four of us. In that experiment, lies and truth were not important at all." The professor said helplessly.

The mercenary asked, "I've been wanting to ask this question for a long time. Aren't you a staunch materialist? Why did you choose to believe Eli's prophecy at that time?"

The professor spread his hands. "If you've witnessed the bizarre events of Group A and still survived, it wouldn't be surprising to see someone with foresight in the next experiment. There will always be things in the world that are difficult to explain with modern science. It's simply because science hasn't reached that level yet."

"But in the final analysis, his prediction was indeed correct. Our group was indeed defeated by a 'lie'."

Amuro Toru felt as if his perspectives were being refreshed: "It seems your organization's exploration of the boundaries of science is a bit crazy."

The mercenary held his forehead. "That's why I hope you won't get involved in those experiments. People will die there, and it's not just a simple death. The 'dead' will remain in the manor forever."

"You talk as if someone really escaped, Naib. Did you succeed back then?" The professor smiled.

"I remember you looked through my medical records. I had eight broken ribs, a fractured left arm, a fractured right forearm, multiple external injuries, a leg caught in a trap, and a muscle strain. I only survived with those injuries thanks to my good luck." The mercenary snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Haha." The professor laughed dryly. "I can see you're quite resentful about being tricked into coming here."

The professor then turned to Amuro Toru and asked, "What do you think of us, Mr. Public Security? An evil underground organization obsessed with human experiments, disregarding human ethics, and using any means necessary?"

Toru Amuro felt a little helpless. He did think so, but looking at the professor's expression, the Oritis Organization seemed to be even more terrifying than he had imagined.

"Although it seems you still have doubts, the next experiment at the manor will begin soon. You can go and witness it with your own eyes."

"But now you can focus on your own business." The professor casually revealed the news and leaned over to give Shibuya Natsuko a simple bandage. "I'll do some simple treatment for this lady first."

The mercenary turned and left: "I'm afraid that experiment won't have any good results."

Soon, ambulances and police cars arrived at the scene, and Inspector Megure took Toru Amuro and the professor who were still at the scene away for questioning.

The next morning, Judy came to Teitan Elementary School to pick up Conan and discuss something.

Conan told Judy that Toru Amuro had already started investigating the matter of Rikumichi Kusuda, and warned her not to let the news leak out.

However, Judy soon received the news that Natsuko Shibuya was attacked. Officer Takagi said that since Natsuko Shibuya's last call was from Judy, he hoped she would cooperate with the investigation.

So the two of them drove to the scene quickly, and Cameron was also there, after all, Judy used Cameron's cell phone to call Shibuya Natsuko at that time.

Conan asked in confusion: "Officer Takagi, how did you confirm that she was an elementary school teacher?"

"Because there is a stack of corrected test papers in her bag. Hey, wait, Conan, why are you here?" Officer Takagi was answering questions as usual, but was shocked when he saw Conan.

Judy explained that Conan was driving with her, and Conan gave his speculation: "The teacher should not have been pushed down here, because the school regulations do not allow the corrected test papers to be taken out of the school."
