Conan: I've been linked to the tech tree system.

Seeing that the two were about to start talking, Amuro Tooru quickly called for a stop.

He looked at "Starlight" with some suspicion.

"Do you two know each other?"

Aside from their shared identity as inventors, the two of them are practically unrelated.

Amuro Tooru is no longer obsessed with preventing Tohno Tooru from being discovered by the Black Organization. After all, the invention of "Starlight" is enough for the organization to stay at the forefront of technology. The organization's core goal is still biotechnology, and they will not look for any more inventors.

"I met her once before at a party hosted by the Ichijo family. Ms. Ichijo Misaki introduced us."

"Toru Tono" answered.

“One…” Amuro Tooru mused.

He had heard of Yitiao Group before; it was a behemoth in the world of invention... Was it related to "Starlight"?

He glanced at the "starlight," which showed no reaction.

It seems this group isn't entirely clean; they might even be connected to the Black Organization. We need to investigate.

"Okay, that's it."

Amuro Tooru stood up. "You haven't been home for a long time. Your family must be worried, right?"

"Ah, it seems so." Tohno Toru took out his phone, glanced at the screen, and scratched his head. It seemed he had received quite a few missed calls.

"Let's go."

After Amuro Tooru repeatedly reminded Tohno Tooru not to leak what happened today, the three of them left the organization's safe house.

Before leaving, Tohru Tono and Hoshikawa exchanged contact information, saying it would make communication easier.

Amuro Tooru got into the car, and the atmosphere was a bit tense.

"What, you don't want me to have any contact with that person?"

"Starlight" said with a smile.

Amuro Tooru glanced at him expressionlessly.

"It's too dangerous to associate with someone like you."

"Really? I'm actually quite interested in him."

"Starlight" smiled even more happily.

"I advise you not to have any wicked thoughts. It was my mistake for him to know you. I will not allow you to lead a normal inventor and detective who has contributed to society astray."

"Starlight" shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.

"Where to go next?"

"Do the task."

"Aren't you going to rest? And I should get paid for helping you with your missions, right?"

"The night shift is just beginning."

"Pitiful."

......

Toru Tohno got to experience the life of Amuro Tooru undercover, working non-stop in three shifts, spinning like a top without rest.

After completing the intelligence gathering task assigned by the organization, he went to work, and even took the time to direct his subordinates to raid the home of the undercover police officer.

It's really hard work.

Incidentally, that undercover agent was indeed sent by the organization to the police station, but he was just an outer member with a very low rank, only used to cooperate with Shinji Tachibana.

After confirming that his sister was not dead and returning to the police station, Shinji Tachibana found him and used the Black Organization's usual methods of coercion and bribery to make him take the blame for him.

This was his backup plan to cut his losses and survive. Since he was an undercover agent anyway, the police wouldn't be able to find anything if he took the blame.

It's just that we've lost one of our own people, so some things are no longer as easy to do.

But it's no big deal; we can just recruit one more person.

And so, having caught the real deal, the police station was overjoyed, thinking they had wiped out the undercover agents, and Shinji Tachibana was also very happy.

A win-win situation is achieved.

They worked until late at night before finally returning to the organization's safe house to rest.

Tohru Tono lay on the bed and turned on his phone.

Clicking on the email icon reveals a message from Kaito Kuroba.

Chapter 130 Two minutes of charging, two hours of high-speed driving

"How was your acting? Not bad, right? O(∩_∩)O~"

The sticker on the back is a classic Kidd grinning emoji.

"To have forgotten that you've even met under these two identities is not bad at all?"

Tohru Tono casually edited a message and sent it over.

He clearly remembered that it was Kuroba Kaito who replaced him last time, but he didn't expect that he would have to remind him.

Is 400 IQ really that bad?

They seemed to be awake too, and replied to the message shortly afterward.

"Who would remember something like that? Please explain in advance next time, okay?"

"The so-called Phantom Thief Kid is nothing special."

"I can't ignore what you're saying. Shall we duel?"

"You should play this game with Conan."

"Conan? That kid? Are you insulting me?!"

Tohru Tono did not reply.

If I remember correctly, Kaito Kuroba had already faced off against Shinichi Kudo before he shrunk back when he stole the "Black Star." Given Kaito's personality, he would definitely investigate this detective who had managed to trap him.

In that case, the moment Conan appears in his field of vision, his identity will likely be questioned.

Was it because of his own actions that Conan wasn't discovered by Kaito Kuroba? Or did he discover him but deliberately pretend not to notice?

It doesn't matter anymore, I'll just pretend I didn't notice.

"I'm saying, I've helped you so many times, don't you feel even a little bit grateful?"

"Just tell me if you need my help with anything."

"...There is something I need to discuss recently. Are you free this weekend?"

Tohru Tono calculated the itinerary.

"have."

"That's great, we'll talk about it later."

"Let me state in advance that I will not accept anything that is too dangerous."

"Don't worry, there's no danger at all."

Tohru Tono tossed his phone aside.

......

Shinji Tachibana was very efficient. I don't know how he communicated with Gin, but Amuro Tooru received a call from Gin the next day.

"Operation canceled."

"?" Amuro Tooru raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled. "Didn't you say it would take a few days?"

"Things are going very smoothly, you don't need to worry about that anymore."

"..."

Amuro Tooru glanced at "Starlight" yawning in the passenger seat.

"Hey, I went to a lot of trouble to get her to come out..."

"That's the price you pay for making that boast to the boss."

"So be it."

Gin hung up the phone.

Amuro Tooru sighed and put his phone away.

They also wanted to take this opportunity to swindle more of the organization's operating funds.

"Was that Gin calling?"

Despite it being a pleasant morning, "Starlight" sounded a little languid.

And I had to bang on the door for ten minutes to wake her up this morning...

It's incomprehensible that I'm still so tired after sleeping for 5 hours.

Amuro Tooru thought to himself that he usually gets less than 4 hours of sleep.

“Yes, he told me the operation was canceled.” Amuro Tooru turned to look at her. “Did you do this?”

"How could I possibly control this..."

"Starlight" continued to yawn, and even squeezed out a few tears from the corners of her eyes.

"In that case, I'm going back to sleep. I really don't know why you haven't died from overwork yet."

"...It's because your sleep schedule is too irregular."

"Goodbye."

Too lazy to argue with him, Tohno got out of the car and went home.

It's not practical to use a hang glider during the day, so I took the tram instead.

Back at the villa, he slept until the afternoon before feeling much better.
