Chapter 125: Implementation of the Plan!

Conan quickly arrived at the movie theater floor of the building from the underground parking lot by taking the elevator.

This is the place where Senichi and Ayako had watched a movie before. Senichi had already checked the area.

However, the most crucial part required Conan to proceed because it involved a particular place.

Because... It is the women's restroom!!

That's right, the execution location of the plan is the women's restroom!!

When Conan heard Senichi's plan, he was completely against it.

Crossdressing is one thing, but you're asking me to go into the women's restroom? Won't I become a pervert? I... I will endure it for the sake of saving someone...

In order to deal with possible pursuers, going to the women's restroom was necessary to buy time, especially if there were no female personnel among the surveillance team.

So, Conan finally mustered up the courage and entered the women's restroom.

Fortunately, he let out a sigh of relief as there was no one inside, reducing his embarrassment.

Seizing this opportunity, Conan quickly opened the women's handbag and took out the items prepared by Senichi.

Soon, a piece of paper with "Out of Order" was pasted on the innermost partition door of the restroom.

Afterward, Conan entered the partition and patiently waited.

...

On the other side.

Masami Hirota paid the taxi fare and got out of the car, walking towards the Beika City Hall.

Behind her, two people in another vehicle also stopped and followed her directly.

After entering the Beika City Hall, Masami Hirota casually strolled through various floors of the mall, just like an ordinary person. She even leisurely had a meal.

However, during the time she spent wandering around, Masami Hirota remained vigilant and confirmed that someone was following her.

After all, with so many floors in the Beika City Hall, the two people behind her seemed to bump into each other too frequently. They even coincidentally appeared nearby when she was having a meal.

She knew that her abnormal behavior had caught the attention of the Black Organization, and they had chosen to increase their manpower to track her.

Although their surveillance was discreet and their skills were exceptional, in the midst of wandering around so many times, paying attention, they inadvertently revealed their presence.

One was short and thin, with a rather unremarkable appearance. Despite their excellent tracking skills, Masami Hirota was relieved that there was no woman among them.

Confirming that she was being followed, Masami Hirota's expression remained unchanged. She continued to eat leisurely, while discreetly placing her fingers into her pocket and tapping on the detective badge.

This was the predetermined secret signal. If someone was following her, she would tap the badge with her fingers for a certain period of time. It was a simple signal.

Upon hearing the signal, both Conan and Senichi's expressions became serious. They immediately became alert.

Although Senichi had anticipated it, hearing the signal from the other party still made him nervous.

If no one was following her, then this operation would be no different from disappearing into thin air.

But now, they had to race against time.

After sending the signal, Masami Hirota continued to wander around the Beika City Hall.

Stepping onto the escalator, Masami Hirota calmly stood on the steps, waiting for the escalator to automatically take her up to the movie theater floor.

And although the two trackers were tracking discreetly, they couldn't stick too close to their target.

After all, tracking only required keeping the target in sight without losing track of them, so the distance between the two parties was about half of an escalator.

But, Masami Hirota suddenly ran past the escalator, and the two men thought their tracking had been discovered, so they hurriedly followed.

When they reached the movie theater floor, the two trackers quickly located Masami Hirota's figure running towards the restroom.

The two men frowned at the sight and increased their pace to catch up. By that time, Masami Hirota's figure had already disappeared inside.

"What should we do?" The skinny one looked at the disappeared figure and couldn't help but ask his companion.

"It looks like she's just going to the restroom normally, so let's wait outside the door," the short one said after looking around at the pedestrians. In the end, they chose not to barge in.

If they were to rush in like that, it would likely cause an immediate commotion, and the security guards would probably rush over to hold them down and hand them over to the police for "indecent assault."

Unless absolutely necessary, they didn't want to make a big scene. If the higher-ups thought they caused too much trouble, they would be in big trouble.

But they didn't know that inside the restroom, Masami Hirota had already entered the last partition.

"We're short on time, hurry up and change."

Conan handed over the clothes that had been prepared in advance to Masami Hirota.

Loose black wide-leg pants were worn over the specially selected casual pants that Masami Hirota had on, and you couldn't tell there was another layer of pants underneath.

Then Masami Hirota took off her jacket, and the thin woolen undershirt inside was directly covered by the white turtleneck sweater handed to her by Conan. Next was the beige coat.

While changing the jacket, Masami Hirota didn't stop her movements. She immediately took off her high-heeled shoes and replaced them with another pair of high-heeled shoes of a different color and style that Conan had prepared in advance.

At the same time, Conan took the jacket and placed it in the handbag, then handed over a disguise mask to Masami Hirota. He bent down and put the changed shoes into the handbag as well.

After finishing with the jacket and shoes, Masami Hirota put on the disguise mask. Conan had brought the disguise mask and clothes prepared by Senichi when he went to Masami Hirota's apartment earlier.

The purpose was to let Masami Hirota get familiar with them in advance after agreeing to the plan.

With everything sorted, Conan began to assist Masami Hirota in wearing the mask using the little tricks given to him by Senichi.

And all of this took a total of only three and a half minutes!

All the clothes on Masami Hirota's body were carefully selected to facilitate quick changes.

The original clothes she was wearing were specially chosen as close-fitting, so except for the jacket, there was no need to take off anything else. The loose black wide-leg pants and the white turtleneck sweater could be directly worn over them.

In total, it took about forty seconds.

Afterward, while wearing the windbreaker, Masami Hirota changed her shoes, which took about twenty seconds. The total time for the entire outfit change was one minute, with an error margin of no more than ten seconds!!

Of course, this was also thanks to Conan's assistance and the previous practice at Masami Hirota's apartment, where he had these clothes in his handbag.

The purpose was to let Masami Hirota get familiar in advance and save time.

The time spent on changing the disguise mask afterward took some more time because if it wasn't worn properly, it could be recognized as a flaw.

Soon, a woman in her thirties with an above-average appearance appeared before Conan.
