Chapter 65 The Cursed Surname
The organization's monthly "big clean-up" has arrived once again.
Without a doubt, it must have been Scarman who reported what happened to that person in the research group; otherwise, there wouldn't have been a second "major purge" in a month.
Bai Yexiu rubbed his forehead in frustration: because of this, well, now he had to get back to work. Just a few dozen minutes ago, Gin had handed him a freshly written investigation list.
As for why it's an investigation list, and not an assassination list—
Because this "cleanup" was carried out without any prior preparation and was decided upon suddenly, there was no assassination list; only a list of suspects selected from above, which members were asked to investigate.
The reason given by the higher-ups was that the first cleaning wasn't done properly, so this time they were here to clean up the mess from the first cleaning.
This put Bai Yexiu in a difficult position.
What he was least good at and found most troublesome was investigation. Although his side job was as an information broker, most of the information came from the organization's intelligence team, and some he found out incidentally. He actually had no desire to do intelligence gathering or investigation.
The reason is simply that it's too troublesome.
Bai Yexiu looked at the list on his phone, feeling somewhat lost—six people. Could they really finish investigating this before the next cleanup?
First of all, this is an investigation, not an assassination. An investigation means that more time and effort will be required than an assassination, and in addition, each person being investigated is different, so the strategies to be used will also be different.
Ouch... My head is so itchy, I feel like my brain is going to fail.
The idea of Baiye Xiuguang is troublesome and very disadvantageous for paddling.
Even so, Bai Yexiu, harboring resentment, silently began his work.
The first place he visited was Teitan Elementary School.
One of the people on the list is a teacher at Tidan Elementary School.
It was the peak time for students to leave school, and groups of smiling students walked out of the campus together, their laughter ringing out. Bai Yexiu, who was passing by, could even hear them talking loudly.
Some chatted about the funny things that happened in class that day, some guessed what their mothers would cook for them when they got home, and some talked about the latest popular events at school...
School……
For some reason, a bitter smile appeared on Bai Yexiu's face.
This is the first time he has come to the school gate.
Ever since being adopted by the boss as a child, the boss has never sent him to school, and even forbade him from leaving the house before he went to "work" in the research group. To this day, all the so-called "graduation certificates" he possesses were obtained for him by the boss with money.
If we delve deeper, Bai Yexiu is indeed an unregistered resident. Although the name Bai Yexiu exists in the official Japanese archives, he has been portrayed as a pitiful boy who died of illness in his childhood.
As for the pseudonym Longze Liuye, it was also fabricated by the boss. To make it more believable, the boss even created a company under his own name and gave himself a pseudonym with the surname Longze, making the identity seem legitimate. He also prepared a "graduation certificate" from a prestigious university for Longze Liuye, packaging him as a rich second-generation boy sent abroad by his parents to study, to facilitate Bai Yexiu's future life.
The aliases of Longze and his son are the boss's proudest creations. These are the most perfect aliases the boss has ever created.
The alias "Bound Chains" that Bai Yexiu created behind the boss's back was actually just to make more money.
"Xiu, your health isn't good. Running around outside might cause trouble, and this is a new country you're not familiar with yet. I'll take you out to play when I have time. How about we go to the nearest amusement park?"
This was said by the boss shortly after I arrived at his house.
The boss was very gentle with him, only becoming a little forceful when he insisted on leaving.
But as a child, he inevitably longed for the outside world.
It was during one of her sneaking out to play that she ran into a boy she knew before she was adopted—Kaito Kuroba.
Therefore, back then, Byakuya would always sneak out to play with Kaito. Occasionally, the boss would discover him a few times, but the boss was always very kind and gentle, and at most he would just say a few words to him.
Boss has always been the person Bai Yexiu respects the most. In his eyes, Boss not only gives him what he wants, but also gives him a new life.
Although he still doesn't quite understand why his boss wouldn't let him go out back then, he thinks the boss must have had his own reasons. All he needs to do is repay the favor, but it's definitely not about blindly sacrificing himself.
The ultimate goal is simply to get rid of the curse associated with this surname.
The more desperate you are, the more you want to struggle; the more you want to struggle, the less you can let go of that last straw.
"Brother Longze? Are you listening?"
Bai Yexiu snapped out of his daze and looked down to see Conan and the other children surrounding him, calling to him.
I was actually spacing out?
Bai Yexiu found it hard to believe. He rarely spaced out, and the last time he did was when he was six years old.
possible……
Bai Yexiu gave a helpless, bitter smile.
He, who had never been to school, probably wanted to experience it.
Besides Conan and a few children, Ai Haibara was also present. As expected by Byakuya, she lowered her head and trembled.
"Is Brother Longze waiting for us?" Genta interjected as soon as Mitsuhiko finished speaking.
"Are you going to treat us to eel rice?"
Genta's words drew half-moon eyes from several children.
"No, I was just passing by and it just reminded me of some things from the past," Bai Yexiu told the truth.
Next, Bai Yexiu said a few more words and successfully sent Conan and the others away.
Bai Yexiu breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at his watch, and sat down on a bench by the roadside.
Next, we need to focus on waiting patiently for the opportunity to strike.
