Chapter 13 Miss Furukawa and Her Butler Bourbon

"Yi Cheng...are you the Yui Cheng family of Yui Cheng Co., Ltd.? Hello, Miss Yui Cheng, please come in."

The greeter at the door glanced at the invitation that Furukawa Kumisa took out, immediately bowed, and respectfully led the people into the hall.

But I saw that the "Miss Yucheng" had a rather high-minded character. Her facial features and expressions could not be seen clearly on the face covered by the brim of the black gauze hat. Only her cold and arrogant gaze cast an eye-catching look: "Butler Shibata."

The arrogant eldest lady lightly opened her red lips, and the young man following her bowed respectfully, saluting her with a meek look on her face: "Yes, eldest lady."

The receptionist was stunned for a moment, wondering what kind of riddle the master and servant were playing.

Then he saw the eldest lady, Shibata's housekeeper, raised his head and smiled at him.

Only then did she realize that this housekeeper, who had been following the eldest lady since she came in and had almost no presence, was actually such a young and talented person.

Butler Bourbon smiled at the waiter: "Miss, can I ask where the bathroom is?"

Furukawa Kumisa glanced at Bourbon.

She had discovered a long time ago that this man had probably stayed with Belmod for a long time and had been influenced by some of that woman's "special attributes". Bourbon was very good at using his own skin to gain some small benefits for himself.

convenient.

In a way, today's tactic of disguising Bourbon as a handsome guy is correct - of course, his own skin is also amazing enough.

"Good guy, a male mother, a male and female servant, and now a male vixen, this bourbon is a bit interesting." Furukawa Kumisa complained to the system in his mind.

"Host, your boss is more like a person doing strategy tasks than you. Don't you feel a bit of a sense of crisis?"

"My heart is indifferent, and I even want to learn from him."

"...It's also a way."

No young girl can remain calm to Toru Amuro's deliberately charming smile, such as the waitress in front of her.

Her cheeks turned red at the smile, and she stuttered when she spoke: "What, what's the matter?"

Then he took a deep breath when he saw the handsome butler in front of him:

"The eldest daughter of our family needs to use a plaster mixed with flowers, imported herbs, Ganoderma lucidum, Trifolia lucidum, Cistanche deserticola, Aesculus, parsnips, basil, angelica, Xinyi, Cicada slough, coptis, sophora flavescens, Qingdai Senecio, and a mixture of it to apply regularly on her face. It's almost time for the eldest daughter's next application.

Can you take me to the bathroom to mix some plaster?"

The waitress was confused by the medicinal ingredients in the first sentence, and it took her a while to understand the meaning of Toru Amuro's words.

She nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, you go this way."

She led Butler Shibata towards the bathroom, but when she was done, she couldn't help but cast a curious glance at the young lady.

It turns out... is the reason why this young lady wears a veil and a hat all the time because she has injuries on her face?

Furukawa Kumisa looked at Amuro Toru walking away with the waiter and smiled slightly.

This is why she chose the identity of "Jie Cheng Liuli".

The eldest lady of Jisei Co., Ltd. had an accident a few days ago and suffered injuries on her face. Now she wears a gauze hat to hide her face when going out.

This accident made the eldest daughter, who was already proud and arrogant, even more grumpy, and almost no longer appeared in public places. During this period, the father of his beloved daughter Ruzhu, the chairman of the board, took him abroad for treatment.

, only a few branches of the large family are still in the country.

So Furukawa Kumisa felt free to assume the identity of Miss Yuki, and she didn't even need to bring a person, skin, mask, or mask with her. It wasn't too convenient at all.

As for Bourbon...his appearance was too memorable, so he had no choice but to put on a mask and pretend to be a butler.

——There is absolutely no selfishness on her part here, absolutely none.

"Won't your conscience hurt? Host."

Furukawa Kumisa answered plausibly: "I have no conscience."

"..."

Even though Furukawa Kumisa had acted as low-key as possible (System: Do you call this low-key?), when he walked into the banquet hall, he was dressed in red and black gauze and still attracted the attention of many people.

It was already past the time for the opening remarks, and the guests in the hall were mingling with each other. Furukawa Kumisa was so recognizable in her black veil on her head, and people came up to say hello to her one after another.

"Ruri-chan, long time no see."

Thanks to the ID card's photographic memory, Furukawa Kumisa recognized the potbellied middle-aged man in front of him at a glance.

"It turns out to be Uncle Yeyan, long time no see."

Furukawa Kumisa sharpened his voice and adjusted it to be 70% similar to Yukini Ruri himself - it was also a gift from the accident. Even though Furukawa Kumisa's voice is somewhat different from the original "Yiuchi Ruri", I believe

No one will be held accountable.

"Is Ruri-chan feeling better?"

"Much better. Thank you Uncle Yeyan for your concern. The doctor I made an appointment with in the United States has something to do in the past two days. I still have some things to deal with in Japan, so I will come back first. I will go back for the surgery in two days."

Knowing that the other party would also ask about it, Furukawa Kumisa simply explained to the other party the reason for his appearance here.

As expected, the other party nodded in understanding, said a few more words about her health, and then left after a few words of greeting.

The Jiesheng family is considered a well-known family in the Japanese pharmaceutical industry. Furukawa Kumisa stood in the hall for a while, and then many people came up to chat and greet him.

Fortunately, she had read the information about Jie Cheng's family and Jie Cheng Liuli carefully in the car in the afternoon, and even read the physical examination report of Jie Cheng Liuli. She responded fluently to those who came to greet them without revealing any flaws.

Ten days later, those who should have exchanged pleasantries had already exchanged greetings, and Furukawa Kumisa's side was finally empty.

She found an empty seat and sat down, holding the wine glass in her hand to her lips, covering her twitching lips and her low voice.

"Bourbon, how's your place going?"

The bone conduction walkie-talkie made in the shape of earrings faithfully transmitted her voice to the earphones. After two soft beeps, Toru Amuro's voice came from the earphones.

"The waitress didn't notice anything unusual, took me to the bathroom and left."

The gentle voice was full of business.

Furukawa Kumisa's eyes slowly scanned the people in the hall, and then said:

"I haven't seen Tetsuya Ehara here yet. I just checked and his flight was not delayed. If he got off the plane and came directly, he should be almost there."

She paused and then said: "Or... he changed his mind temporarily."

After hearing this, Bourbon on the other end of the earphone was silent for a moment, and then said as usual:

"This banquet is an itinerary that Tetsuya Ehara decided before he went abroad. It will not be changed unless there are special circumstances. Unless he knows in advance that someone is going to be unfavorable to him at this banquet."

There were only four people in the organization who knew the mission to assassinate Tetsuya Ehara, Gin, Vodka, Bourbon, and herself.

Gin and Vodka were just here to set up the task. They were the only two people who actually took over the task and determined that the banquet would be the location for the assassination.

Furukawa Kumisa was a little surprised that Bourbon spoke so directly. Her original intention was not to suspect that someone had leaked the information, but she did not expect that Bourbon directly named the person.

"...System, did I reveal any flaws that would let him know that I am an undercover agent?"

"I think you're overthinking it. He might be a little dissatisfied with you, so he stabbed you in such a subtle way."

Furukawa Kumisa quickly reflected on his actions over the past few days, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he spoke very frankly:

"Bourbon, you are being paranoid. What I mean is that Tetsuya Ehara knew about the death of Yoshiko Kushi, and knew that due to his relationship with Yoshiko Kushi, he might not be able to escape, so he avoided this banquet."

Toru Amuro, who was on the other end of the earphone, paused slightly when he heard what Furukawa Kumisa said.

Is he paranoid? Maybe so.

But after getting along with him several times, he has become extremely wary of Natafi.

With the blessing of such memory and observation, her own reasoning ability was not weak, and she had just come into contact with Edogawa Conan. He felt that he could not be too cautious with such a person.

"There is a traitor on the mission" is a taboo topic among all members of the organization, but the more times like this, the more he cannot avoid it.

Of course he knew that the reason why Tetsuya Ehara didn't show up might be because of the death of Yoshiko Kuji, but if he deliberately ignored the possibility of "traitor", it might actually make Natafi notice something.

In this case, let's just put it on the table openly so that she can't find anything wrong.

Compared with "suspicious", "suspicious" is obviously more dangerous.

Toru Amuro then smiled: "I don't doubt your intentions, I just don't want to miss any possibility."

He then changed the topic: "I have just figured out the layout of the hotel's top floor. Apart from the banquet hall, there are only a few presidential suites inside the elevator, bathrooms, an outdoor swimming pool, and equipped dressing rooms.

"

Before coming here, Furukawa Kumisa had searched the Internet for the layout of the top floor of the Rice Krispies Hotel. Now that he had verified the place Amuro Toru talked about with the floor plan in his mind, he had some ideas in his mind.

"From this point of view, the entire top floor is not a good place to start. The banquet hall and open-air swimming pool are crowded with people. Maybe you can try the bathroom, but now that there is a banquet here, it is inevitable that you will not encounter anyone entering."

On the contrary, Toru Amuro disagreed with this idea: "If you want to take people to other floors, they will be photographed by the elevator surveillance."

Furukawa Kumisa naturally knows this.

The reason why she was unwilling to start directly on the top floor was that she wanted to get information from Tetsuya Ehara.

If she had followed the mission assigned by the organization, Bobon would have killed Tetsuya Ehara when she saw him, and it would have been difficult for her to have a chance to contact Tetsuya Ehara alone.

When she was in a dilemma, she suddenly received a prompt from the system: "Host, it has been detected that Tetsuya Ehara has arrived downstairs at the Rice Flower Hotel and is about to take the elevator up."

God is really helping me!

Furukawa Kumisa was overjoyed and quickly ordered the system: "Remind me when he gets on the elevator."

"Wait until he's in line...get on!"

After receiving the system notification, Furukawa Kumisa hurriedly said to Bourbon in the earphone: "Bourbon, I can't get away. Please go downstairs to the parking lot and bring my computer in the car."

Toru Amuro knows about Furukawa Kumisa's hacking skills, which is not a secret in the organization.

He happened to be not far from the elevator entrance at this moment. After saying yes, he walked towards the elevator and pressed the down arrow.

With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened. He stepped onto the empty elevator, which carried him to the first floor.

There was another "ding", and another adjacent elevator door opened. A warm yellow light came out of the door, and a man carrying a briefcase walked out of the door, as if he had just arrived.
