Conan: I Am Surrounded By Undercover

Chapter 538: where did bourbon go

At 9:16 p.m., Tottori prefecture organizes the base.

There was no one in the dim monitoring room, only a screen on the wall exuded a faint light.

"Snapped."

The light was turned on suddenly, and two people walked in one after the other.

After a short period of time, he experienced another flight trip—the unprotected one again—and Jerez Brandy's hair became a mess, but he didn't pay as much attention to grooming as the people around him, and looked directly at the screen as soon as he came in.

Apero crossed his arms and stood behind him expressionlessly.

Time back to 8:14 in the morning.

Apero, who learned the news of Bourbon's escape from the members of the bottom, immediately rushed into the monitoring room.

In the first cell, Scotland sat silently on the bed, and he had already changed into new clothes; in the second cell, there were only a few low-level members who found something wrong and went in for inspection, and Bourbon, who was sleeping on the bed before, had long since disappeared.

The camera facing the window clearly sent back the picture of the window, and the entire iron fence was removed, revealing a hole that was not too big or small, barely enough for an adult to pass through.

The iron bars and windows of Cell No. 2 were not welded shut, but were fixed by screws one by one, which gave Bourbon a chance to escape.

Apero's face was so gloomy that water dripped out, and the others behind him were trembling. They were afraid that Apero would get angry, and they were also afraid that everyone here would get into trouble if they escaped undercover.

"That guy..."

Apero gritted his teeth, not knowing whether he should tell Angustra or the leader immediately. He stared at the screen tightly, trying to find some clues from the screen.

Contrary to what many people in the organization have guessed, Apero sometimes looks impatient, and he himself is a completely calm person.

Bomb design is a very dangerous job. If there is a slight mistake, the designer himself will be blown to pieces first. They cannot be impatient, and they do not have to be very careful.

Apero stared at the screen for a while, and suddenly recalled the screen he saw 20 minutes ago, and the strange feeling he had noticed before came to his heart again—he reacted instantly.

He stepped forward, quickly pressed a few times on the screen with his hand, and called out the surveillance from yesterday morning, which was placed side by side with this morning's.

—The pictures on the two screens are exactly the same.

It turned out to be like this, no wonder he felt something was wrong when he saw it before, it turned out to be exactly the same as yesterday's picture.

No matter how correct the sleeping posture is, their appearance will not be the same every day when they fall asleep. There will be subtle differences in facial expressions, hair, the position of the quilt, and the folds of the sheets under them.

People don't make much movement when they are sleeping, which makes it easier for the monitoring people, and at the same time makes them relax their vigilance and ignore such details.

After finding out one of the reasons for Bourbon's escape, Apero's expression did not change. He should have scolded the person who watched at night, but he knew that he was the most responsible.

He looked at the others: "The third team stays behind, and the first and second teams go out to the forest to track him. He will definitely not be able to run far."

"Yes!" The others shouted in unison.

"—Use an anesthesia gun, real guns are not allowed." Apero reminded again.

"...Yes!" The others hesitated a little, but they still responded one after another.

After the others left, only Apero was left frowning at the screen.

There is no eavesdropping or positioning function in the restraint. The chain in the middle can be stretched very long without affecting people's running, but there is a scanner on it. If the pace is too fast, it will be judged as a dangerous movement, and the restraint will automatically lock.

Bourbon, who had been locked once two weeks ago, was absolutely aware of this, and he couldn't have made such a low-level mistake after finally escaping.

Apero is not afraid that he will not be able to find anyone, but he is most afraid that Bourbon will not think about it and commit suicide. There are many cliffs in the forest outside, and he can just find a place to jump off...

Thinking of the wild bear that Angostura had skinned and deboned, Apero once again regretted his negligence. He sighed and took out his phone.

He sent an email to Angostella in the morning and has not responded so far. Maybe the other party is busy with work or still sleeping, so he wants to contact the boss first—this is a calm decision made according to the situation, because he is afraid of Angostella. It didn't matter that Ra was angry.

The phone was connected quickly, and the original voice of the boss was on the opposite side: "Hello?"

"Sir, I have something to report..."

Apero told the truth about Bourbon's escape and the replacement of surveillance, and he took the blame for it honestly and did not pass it on to others.

"It's nothing, undercover agents wouldn't give up so easily."

After listening to his words, the boss was not angry at all, and his voice was as gentle as ever.

"Angestra over there..."

"He will be very busy today, and it will be difficult to get there before 12 o'clock in the evening. Don't tell him about Bourbon's escape for the time being." The voice of the boss came, "I will find someone to visit Scotch Whiskey for him."

Apero heaved a sigh of relief, but then he was concerned about another topic: "Boss, I have another question, Bourbon... I don't know how he switched the monitor."

He remembered that Angostella had given Scotland a computer, and that computer was on the table when he entered Cell 1, could it be that...

…No, he believed in Angostella's loyalty and ability. He said that the computer only had entertainment functions, so it only had entertainment functions.

"The visitor at night will answer this question for you." Boss smiled, "Okay, I'm also very busy now, so I'll hang up first."

When the call ended, Apero just put down the phone when his movements suddenly froze.

He seemed to have forgotten to ask the crucial question of the call—what to do with the fleeing Bourbon?

"..."

Calling ~lightnovelpub.net~ now is definitely disturbing the boss, and judging from his tone, he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

Apero felt a dull pain in his head, he hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to take back the phone.

Since the boss said that there will be other members visiting at night, he can let the lower-level members continue to look for someone while waiting for him to come.

I hope that during this period, Bourbon's body will not be found, and it is better for him to escape completely than to be dead.

After all, a person who escaped can search all over the world to catch him, but when a person is dead, he is dead, and there is no way to remedy it.

After reminiscing, Apero stared at Jerez's back.

With the secrecy of the organization, even if he is the person in charge of an important base, he is not qualified to know all the code members.

"If you're wondering how Bourbon escaped, I can tell..."

"No, I can guess—the surveillance screen has been changed, right? Undercover agents often use this method to get out of surveillance."

Jerez's eyes were still fixed on the screen, and he answered without turning his head.

"That's right."

Apero was not surprised. He could tell at a glance that those who could be sent here at such a special time must be members with strong abilities or special identities.

It's his tone of voice, which inexplicably gives people a feeling that he is full of experience.

"The question now is, how does Bourbon, who does not have any equipment, switch monitors." Apero asked questions that have lasted since morning.

"…Eye."

Jerez stood up straight, turned off the screen that he had just checked, and turned to look at Apero.

"Did you check his eyes for contact lenses when you put him in the cell?"
