Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

The moon sets and the sun rises in the east. The people of Tokyo welcome a new day in the gentle caress of the morning light.

Unfortunately, today all the clouds came out in groups to let out the wind, and they were stacked very tightly.

There was no gap left for the sun.

As a result, today's temperature is similar to yesterday, but it feels unusually cold.

Kenji Hagiwara, who was stabbed in the back by the weather forecast, simply put on a thin sweater under his coat. As soon as he walked out of the police apartment building, he was chilled by the breeze blowing from outside and shivered involuntarily.

Just as I was thinking about whether to go back to get my clothes or try to hold on, I heard a voice from upstairs:

"then."

Kenji Hagiwara looked up and saw through the half-open window a young girl in pajamas with toothpaste foam on her mouth and her naturally curly hair blown by the wind.

In one hand he held a toothbrush, in the other a thick black coat.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jinpei Matsuda threw the coat in his hand out of the window.

Kenji Hagiwara took a few quick steps and accurately caught the thick coat that fell from the sky, then put it on over his own coat.

After putting on his clothes, Kenji Hagiwara raised his hand to say hello to Jinpei Matsuda and ask him to close the window quickly, but when he looked up, he found that the half-open window had already been closed.

In the apartment, Matsuda Jinpei, who didn't care at all that Kokunran's hair was messed up in the wind for a moment because of his actions, let out a long sigh of relief after closing the window.

Why is it so cold today? Luckily the window was not closed tightly last night, not completely closed.

Otherwise I would have frozen to death last night.

five minutes later,

After washing and changing clothes, Jinpei Matsuda, who was also wrapped in a thick coat, opened the passenger seat of the silver-gray Mazda RX-7.

Then, on the way to the Metropolitan Police Department, he quickly finished the breakfast that Kenji Hagihara brought him.

The police apartment is not far from the Metropolitan Police Department, so Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda always go to work on time.

And there are many people like them.

So when the silver-gray Mazda RX-7 arrived at the parking lot in front of the Metropolitan Police Department, the two warmly wrapped colleagues just got out of the car and saw many thinly dressed colleagues running hurriedly into the building.

There are several familiar faces among them.

nine o'clock,

The Metropolitan Police Department - Special Case Investigation Team held its weekly internal routine meeting while the team leader was on vacation.

Hojo Shuya, who had participated in the meeting many times before, sat at the last seat as usual and remained silent and listened from beginning to end.

Because Edogawa Yuki was on vacation, the meeting was naturally chaired by the former deputy team leader and current acting team leader, Morobushi Takaaki.

In order to form a team for Masahiko Sanada, the reformists spent a lot of effort. They not only recruited elites from all over the country, but also provided them with generous welfare benefits.

The rank and authority are given quite generously.

Even Takaaki Morobushi, who was excellent in reasoning, analysis, and investigation and handling of cases in the past due to his non-professional background, was promoted from inspector to superintendent after being transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department.

One of the reasons was that Zhu Fu Gaoming had an excellent resume and performed brilliantly in the special criminal meeting where unexpected events occurred.

Gain the attention and favor of senior reformists.

And the other part is because of Zhu Fu Jingguang.

Toru Amuro's extreme actions certainly saved Keimitsu Morobushi from the danger of his undercover identity being exposed.

Whether openly or secretly, the name Zhu Fu Jingguang has been declared dead and completely separated from Scotland of the Black Organization.

However, Zhu Fujingguang's files were also permanently sealed because of this.

Even though it is clear that this is only temporary, who can be sure whether this temporary period will last for a year or ten years, a moment or a lifetime.

When the dusty files really see the light of day and the day comes to reward the meritorious service, who can guarantee that it will be the person himself who will receive the reward, rather than his family members who receive the death notice?

Even Toru Amuro could not give a definite answer to this.

Even though he has the memories of two lives, even though he desperately hopes that his friends from the same period, his childhood friends, and all the police officers he knows and doesn't know can be safe and healthy.

He couldn't make any promises.

The advantages brought by the memories of the previous life have been consumed over the years. As a result, the unpredictability caused by the butterfly effect is far greater than the former.

Therefore, after learning that Takaaki Morobushi would be transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department and become a member of the newly established special case investigation team.

Toru Amuro discussed it with Keimitsu Morobushi and made a private call to his boss, Heibei Kuroda.

They are all public security police, and they are all undercover in the Black Organization under an assumed name, even though they belong to different departments and have different titles and powers.

Sakura was able to be promoted to Superintendent of Police thanks to this, but it's not possible that Morobushi Kagemitsu, who is also an undercover investigator, would be left with nothing.

what!

You said that Zhu Fu Jingguang's file has been sealed and he cannot be rewarded or promoted for fear of being discovered.

You can't just give me nothing.

He was an undercover agent in the organization, working diligently, risking his life every day, and his identity was almost exposed.

Wouldn't it be disheartening to do this?

Of course, your concerns are valid.

So you see, since Zhu Fu Jingguang has been declared dead on various levels, it is not easy to reward and promote him like Sakura.

It would be better to give this reward and promotion to Zhu Fu Gaoming.

Are you asking Zhu Fu Jingguang?

Of course he was very happy to do so.

Otherwise why would I mention this to you.

As for Zhu Fu Gaoming's restriction on the origin of the non-professional group, this is not an iron rule that cannot be violated.

Kenjiro Sanada was born in the semi-professional team, and now he is the top leader of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department.

Furthermore, Zhu Fu Gaoming's ability is obvious to all, and he is also a top student who graduated from the University of Tokyo.

His background in the non-professional group was due to Zhufu Gaoming's own choice, not because he really couldn't pass the exam.

Kenjiro Sanada was able to get an exceptional promotion because of the favor of Director Hakuba, and Morobushi Takaaki could naturally use the same reason.

After an in-depth conversation, the convinced Kuroda Heibei summarized the above content and reported it to Hojo Yoshinori.

So in the end, to the surprise of many people, Zhu Fu Gaoming, who was not from the professional group, seemed to have gotten lucky.

He was promoted from an ordinary police inspector in Nagano to a superintendent affiliated with the Metropolitan Police Department.

The management is undoubtedly the management of a core organization like the Metropolitan Police Department.

During that period, various discussions about Morobushi Takaaki were endless, and the private discussions were even more lively than the promotion of Sanada Masahiko to Superintendent.

That is to say, Zhu Fu Gaoming gradually demonstrated his excellent abilities and character in the following time, and those private discussions gradually died down.

This regular meeting without Yuuki Edogawa present lasted from nine to after ten.

In less than two hours, Zhu Fu Gaoming had arranged the work direction and tasks of the entire special case investigation team for the next 20 days in an orderly manner.

The regular meeting ended at 10:48.

Participants who filed out of the conference room went back to their respective workstations, while others put their pens into the police manuals and put the police manuals in their pockets.

Turn left when you go out and you will enter the elevator.

As one of the latter, Kenji Hagiwara entered the elevator and started chatting with Hojo Shuya beside him.

After chatting about a few light-hearted topics to liven up the atmosphere, the two came out of the elevator and arrived at the door of another conference room that was more than twice as large as the one used by the Bit Case Investigation Team.

Many colleagues were already seated inside.

There is no doubt that this was a meeting larger in scale than the regular internal meetings of the special case investigation team.

We can get a glimpse of this just from the representatives from different departments present at the conference.

Without looking around any further, Hojo Shuya and Hagiwara Kenji took a quick look around and quickly found an empty seat next to each other and sat down.

Coincidentally, the person sitting next to the seats they chose was none other than Yuya Kazami.

The moment they sat down, one raised his eyes and the other lowered his eyebrows. The brief exchange of glances was so quick that even Hojo Shuya didn't notice it.

Of course, this is also because part of Hojo Shuya's mind is focused on other places.

When he just entered the room and took a look around, Hojo Shuya recognized Kazami Yuya.

It was precisely because of seeing him that Hojo Shuya's heart, which was not calm to begin with, began to waver with more subtle ripples.

After graduating and joining the special case investigation team, Hojo Shuya has lived a fulfilling and busy life.

But his heart has never been truly at peace.

When he first saw Edogawa Yuki's face, which was so similar to Karasuma Soshin that it was hard to mistake it, Hojo Shuya was so shocked that he almost jumped up and slapped himself to wake himself up.

But soon, those guesses in my mind were diluted by the emergence of several memories.

What followed was the vague answer I received from my grandfather Hojo Yoshimune on that unforgettable night.

"When I met him, he was not yet the heir to the Karasuma Group."

The problem that I had pondered for a long time without any solution was solved in an unexpected moment.

However, what this brought to Hojo Shuya was only more doubts and an inexplicable uneasiness that grew wildly as he thought more deeply about it.

Eleven o'clock.

The vacant main meeting seat was filled with a solemn and quiet atmosphere as the highest leader of the Metropolitan Police Department took his seat.

After a brief polite speech, Director Bai Ma looked at the heads of various departments and representatives sitting below, and with a serious expression he went into the main topic of today's meeting.

at the same time,

A very important gathering and exchange is also taking place in Kudo's house.

The entire table in the living room was covered with printed materials, but Conan and the others who were sitting around the table and reading the materials all had serious faces.

The atmosphere was just as serious as that in the Metropolitan Police Department's meeting room.

Even Kudo Yusaku had a very solemn expression on his face.

In addition, the content of the discussions between the two parties can be said to be highly consistent, both revolving around the same subject.

——The singing whale.

"It's all activity information, nothing useful at all."

After reading all the information on the table, Conan scratched his hair in distress. When he looked at the table full of information, he sighed in worry.

At the same time, I kept complaining in my heart.

They are obviously a well-known international organization, but how come their personnel information is so secretive that there isn't even a blurry photo of the core members?

"Although Mingjing is famous, he has offended many people and forces behind the scenes."

If I didn't have some strength and the ability to protect my life, I would have been dead long ago without leaving even ashes.

Conan became more and more confused after hearing Akai Mary's answer.

So cautious?

The slogan raised by Mingjing is very loud, but around the world, there are at least 8,000 international teams dedicated to world peace, if not 10,000.

There are many people who use the same method as Mingjing to achieve their ideal goals.

In terms of fame, international influence and attention, he is not much more famous than Mingjing, but you can still count on your fingers.

Among those international teams, Mingjing is so out of place that it looks like a high-level criminal gang.

Its mysterious level is much higher than that of the Black Organization.

Wait... Mingjing isn't a criminal gang, is he?

Conan was startled and his eyes quickly looked at the information on the table, while quickly recalling the contents of the information he had read before.

Kudo Yusaku glanced at his stressed son and said to him:

“Mingjing may really be just a private international team with no official support in public and no official shadow behind the scenes.

But even the founder had carried out a long, careful and detailed conception and plan before forming the team.

This kind of confidentiality that makes it impossible to find out the details from the beginning is absolutely impossible for a team built from scratch to have. "

Following Kudo Yusaku's reminder, Conan, who was in a state of contemplation, couldn't help but continue the conversation:

“Unless… this team had already experienced a painful lesson in reality before appearing in the public eye under the name Mingjing…”

That's why they have such perfect confidentiality measures that even Ms. Akai, who comes from MI6, couldn't find any flaws, and which are so comprehensive and flawless from the very beginning.

The first time Ming Whale was reported by the media was five years ago. Five years ago...

The ever-expanding thoughts gave rise to more branches of conjecture as new questions arose, but the limited information made it difficult for Conan to go in the right direction.

Not to mention letting him find the fruit called the answer.

"Whale Cry, can also be interpreted as crying whale."

Yahya's sudden words made Conan and the others look over.

Yahya, who was being watched, had no idea what kind of mental shock his words had brought to Conan and the others, and he still had that melancholy expression on his face after he finished speaking.

Akai Shuichi standing by seemed to have thought of something, and when he lowered his eyelids, a faint light flashed across his eyes.

Whale cry, whale cry, if this name really refers to the cry of whales after losing their relatives and friends...

If Mingjing is really an international team that ostensibly advocates world peace but actually takes revenge as its core, and goes to various countries seemingly for exchanges and learning, but in fact is looking for traces of enemies.

Then,

Mingjing will discuss and combat the arms smuggling market and curb the proliferation of smuggled weapons. Does this mean that the enemy that Mingjing is looking for is closely related to it?

Is it the person he guessed...
