In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

Page 427

However, no matter what, it's a very fortunate thing that Xia Ye isn't an enemy.

Today's meeting was very fruitful.

Besides her mother—

Conan is actually quite rational.

She couldn't control her mother's relationship with Xia Ye, and she didn't know what her father was thinking.

So this matter is indeed related to me, but it also seems like it's not that relevant to me at all.

However, it will inevitably be a little awkward when Xia Ye and her mother are present at the same time in the future.

They didn't know if it would happen in front of them—

Conan sighed.

He took out his phone, hesitated for a moment, and then dialed his father's number.

"Dad, I just met with Xia Ye..."

...

Xia Ye and Vermouth went downstairs.

News came through the organization's private encrypted channel that Gin had escaped after the helicopter crash.

Apart from Chianti, who broke a leg, the others on the helicopter were not seriously injured. The old saying is true: evil deeds last a thousand years!

"Was it Rum himself who led the team to meet them?"

The original plan was for Bourbon and Kiel to provide backup.

Xia Ye found it somewhat amusing at the time.

One of them is an undercover Japanese public security police officer, and the other is an undercover CIA agent from the United States.

If we send them to meet Gin, they might just kill him outright.

Just as the helicopter crashed, Xia Ye was wondering whether Bourbon or Gil would lose control and risk exposing their identities to take Gin away.

He guessed it was Bourbon—

I didn't expect Rum to take action himself.

He wasn't originally part of the plan.

"The commotion tonight was huge. The BOSS is actually paying attention. The organization suffered significant losses, and Gin almost lost his life. It's only natural that Rum would take action!"

Vermouth had returned to her original appearance, her long silver hair cascading down, her charming and alluring face captivating. Driving, she said calmly:

"After all, Rum and Gin have a pretty good relationship~"

"It doesn't matter, there's something good about Gin being alive~"

Gin is practically no threat now, keeping him around provides occasional amusement and gives Conan something to do.

"But Shuichi Akai..."

"Bourbon seems to have gone that way!"

"Yeah, Bourbon is really persistent about him."

Vermouth's lips curled up. Xia Ye didn't seem to have written anything about Bourbon in his diary, but judging from his words, this kid must be a member of the public security police.

So Scotch whisky is his companion?

Scotch whisky died right in front of Shuichi Akai, no wonder Bourbon hates Shuichi Akai so much!

Let's piece together the clues.

Vermouth had basically guessed the truth of the matter.

But she only sighed about it briefly.

I never even thought of telling the boss.

After working herself to the bone for the organization for decades, how great is it to slack off with Xia Ye now? Besides, she has an appointment with Yukiko to visit the set tomorrow, so she doesn't have time to worry about these messy things.

...

Twenty minutes later.

Natsume and Vermouth met Gin at a secluded hideout.

His eyes were sinister, his face was dark, and he exuded a cold aura.

He planned tonight's operation, but the result was far from satisfactory.

Leaving aside Pisco, the expected bait.

The organization members who set up the ambush were caught off guard by the FBI, suffering many casualties. Even with the support of Xia Ye's men, they were only able to barely retreat, suffering heavy losses.

He himself was cornered upstairs by the Metropolitan Police Department's special raiding unit, and if it weren't for the helicopters that had been arranged in advance, he would have been killed.

Even so, they were ultimately sniped from the air by Shuichi Akai, losing a helicopter, Chianti breaking a leg, and even he was covered in dust and injured.

How could Gin possibly be satisfied with such a result!

"Oops~"

Rum, who wasn't yet dressed as a cook, waved his hand and smiled, saying:

"Don't be so discouraged. The FBI suffered significant losses this time, and Bourbon has also gone to check on the rye whiskey situation. If we can take him out, all the losses in this operation will be worth it!"

Gin agreed with Rum's assessment.

Shuichi Akai is considered a traitor who poses a great threat to the organization.

If he dies, it will indeed offset the organization's huge losses tonight, and the BOSS should no longer blame them!

Gin looked at Natsume; all of this was thanks to Natsume's long-range support shot.

"Thank you, Roland!"

"You're welcome~"

Xia Ye said calmly, not taking credit for it.

His and Vermouth's original mission for tonight was to disguise themselves and take control of the situation at the scene of Pisco's assassination. If Pisco was arrested or lost control, they could also silence him. In this respect, they had successfully completed their mission. Pisco should still be dying with regrets.

As for subsequent support.

That was not part of their mission.

In other words, Natsume's help was an extra favor, and Gin has to acknowledge it.

"Why hasn't Bourbon come back yet?"

"came back!"

Amuro Tooru pushed open the door, looked around, and said with a smile, "Isn't it getting a little late?"

"It's not too late~"

Rum, with only one eye left, looked at Amuro Tooru:

"Bourbon, how's it going?"

Is rye whiskey dead?

"You got into a fight?"

Xia Ye noticed that he seemed to have some gunpowder residue on him, so she asked, "Did you run into the FBI?"

"That's right——"

Amuro Tooru nodded and said:

"I followed the crashed helicopter of Rye Whiskey to the scene. They didn't seem as lucky as Gin. The helicopter crashed directly into a house and exploded. Everyone inside was dead, and there were no signs of anyone escaping. I saw Rye Whiskey and his sniper rifle next to him—"

"Has the body been examined?"

Xia Ye found it hard to believe that Shuichi Akai was really dead.

"no!"

Amuro Tooru shook his head regretfully and frowned, saying, "I was just about to examine the body when the FBI showed up. There were so many of them, and they were like mad dogs, so I had to leave the scene first."

"So, you can't be sure that it's rye whiskey?"

Although Rum was impulsive and irritable, his suspicious nature made him cautious enough, so even with Bourbon's judgment, he still harbored some doubts about Shuichi Akai's death!

"That's right——"

Amuro Tooru also had this suspicion.

Of course, he was still willing to believe that Shuichi Akai was dead, after all, this would be a way of avenging Hiromitsu Morofushi!

As for Shuichi Akai, he's with the FBI, so he's on the red side.

What does that have to do with him, a police officer in Japan?

He loves Japan.

He didn't care if a few people died in the FBI, an organization that often caused trouble on foreign soil, especially since this person was an enemy who refused to help his friend in his time of need!

Let's talk about that later.

Xia Ye knew where the plot was headed; it would be one thing if Shuichi Akai died, but what if he didn't—

He might even impersonate Subaru Okiya and investigate the organization's affairs in secret.

As for whether he will move into the Kudo family's house, that's uncertain. After all, the main storyline has changed drastically at this point and is completely different from what it used to be!

"Roland is right—"

Rum, the organization's number two, gave a summary.

"We can investigate whether Rye Whiskey is dead or not later. Right now, the most important thing is to clean up the mess, suspend the organization's activities in Tokyo, and erase all traces of Pisco's asset transfer. You guys need to recover from your injuries, and you also need to explain the situation of this operation to the BOSS—"

"Wow, this loss is really significant!"

"Rum, you guys go ahead with your work~"

Xia Ye wasn't going to waste time here. He said indifferently:

"With such a big incident in Tokyo, the Metropolitan Police Department will probably be looking for me soon. I should head back now."

"Alright."

Rum thought about it and figured that there was no point in Xia Ye staying. Although the undercover work at the Metropolitan Police Department wasn't that important, Xia Ye hadn't been exposed yet, so it was fine to maintain this identity. Maybe it would come in handy someday.

"(bedg) Goodbye, everyone~"

Xia Ye waved goodbye to her colleagues.

"Walk slowly."

Gin spoke first, after all, Xia Ye had just helped him "finish" the rye whiskey, so even though he was usually cold and taciturn, he still had to see Xia Ye off.

"That was a good shot!"

Amuro Tooru chuckled and patted Natsume on the shoulder. Although Natsume was an undercover agent planted in the Metropolitan Police Department by the organization, he had "taken down" Rye Whiskey this time, and Amuro Tooru had developed a rare and considerable liking for him.

...

The night is deep.

This clash between red and black has come to an end.

Overall, the Black Organization was at a disadvantage, suffering heavy losses among its ordinary personnel, being ambushed by the FBI, and being suppressed throughout the entire operation.

only--

The FBI also suffered significant losses, with over a dozen agents killed. However, none of the key members of the Black Organization survived. Pisco is an exception; he was already bait the Black Organization had abandoned, and his body was simply silenced, rendering him meaningless.

The location where Shuichi Akai's helicopter crashed.

Judy looked at the burning helicopter wreckage with a sorrowful expression. She was about to rush over when she was firmly stopped by the other FBI agents.

"Investigator Judy, calm down!"

"The helicopter is very likely to experience a secondary explosion!"

"But Shuichi..."

"Maybe Investigator Akai has already escaped!" The agent's words were very unsure, but if he didn't say that now, Investigator Jodie might jump in and commit suicide with Investigator Akai. He could only try to calm her down first!
