Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

Cough cough............................

Of course, Lin Jiayou wouldn't be so blunt about slacking off...

He merely instructed Shimabukuro Kimie as a practical task...................................

Kimie Shimabukuro naturally accepted this with great joy..............................

No matter what, being able to help her master is what makes her happiest................................

It would be even better if I could do the mission with my master............................

Unfortunately, Kimie Shimabukuro knew that with her current abilities, she was not yet capable of going on missions with her master...

During her time with the organization, she subtly inquired and learned about her mentor's position within the organization...

She also learned just how powerful her master was within the organization...

Even though the elite members of the organization were already superhuman in Shimabukuro Kimie's eyes, her master was still a cut above them all...

Therefore, Kimie Shimabukuro doesn't have high expectations for herself now.

Study hard, complete the tasks your master gives you diligently, and strive to be able to go on missions with him as soon as possible, becoming his right-hand man.................................

Lin Jiayou, as her mentor, was naturally fully aware of her thoughts...

In fact, Shimabukuro Kimie's abilities have basically met Gin and Hayashi Keisuke's expectations...

In fact, it could be said that they exceeded expectations...

Originally, their expectation of Shimabukuro Kimie was simply that she become a master of disguise, able to help Hayashi Yoshiyu cover for missions requiring disguise to gather intelligence.

After all, Lin Jiayou's abilities were too versatile, and disguise was just one of his most ordinary skills...

Simply assigning him to intelligence gathering would be a waste of his talents...

As for Vermouth, Gin can't control her, so he can only hope that Kimie Shimabukuro can grow up faster...

As for this operation, Lin Jiayou will be impersonating Matsumoto Kiyonaga again, which can be considered the last time...

Next time, if a similar situation occurs, then we'll have to arrange for Kimie Shimabukuro to handle it...............................

Therefore, although Lin Jiayou sent Shimabukuro Kimie to Matsumoto Kiyonaga to gather intelligence this time, Gin, despite knowing he was slacking off, did not stop him...........................

This girl still needs more training, whether it's her current outstanding skill in disguise, her life-saving fighting skills, or her experience in intelligence gathering...................................

So today, Shimabukuro Kimie disguised herself as a cleaning lady and went to Matsumoto Kiyonaga's house to gather information about Matsumoto Kiyonaga for Hayashi Keisuke................................

The reason she was chosen to disguise herself as a cleaning staff member was mainly because Lin Jiayou, after some investigation, learned that Matsumoto Kiyonaga's wife needed cleaning services arranged for that day...

So, Lin Jiayou had Shimabukuro Kimie knock out the original cleaning lady, disguise herself as her, and come to provide services...

"Mr. Matsumoto........................"

Shimabukuro Kimie spoke in a completely different voice to Matsumoto Kiyonaga, who was sitting next to her.

"Is there anything inconvenient for you...?"

Shimabukuro Kimie's question was a fairly standard inquiry.

Although she was hired by Mrs. Matsumoto Kiyonaga to clean, she was still considered a servant. If she accidentally did anything inconvenient for Matsumoto Kiyonaga, she would definitely be scolded.....................................

Putting everything else aside, just one complaint was enough to get the cleaning company to deduct money from her pay...

Yes, Kimie Shimabukuro has now completely immersed herself in her role, constantly considering things from the perspective of a cleaner.................................

"No,"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga waved his hand dismissively as he read the newspaper.

"Just clean it however you like..."

"Oh, right, don't knock over the trophies in my study..."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga wasn't that bored; he didn't take some materials home to read.................................

Let alone now, he's already at an age where there's not much room for advancement, and he's long been working on the front lines...

Even back when he was on the front lines of the First Investigative Division, handling cases, he would never take crucial case files home.

This is the most basic professional ethics. If it gets dirty or lost on the way home, or something else happens, he can't afford the responsibility.

Therefore, he always did things at the Metropolitan Police Department and took them home; that wasn't his style at all...

"Okay, don't worry..."

Shimabukuro Kimie nodded and respectfully addressed Matsumoto Kiyonaga....................................

To reiterate, her asking Matsumoto Kiyonaga this question was absolutely not an attempt to find out any secrets he might have.

After all, if Matsumoto Kiyonaga were even slightly more vigilant, any secrets he might have would be kept in a safe; he wouldn't tell Shimabukuro Kimie, nor would he let her clean with peace of mind...

Kimie Shimabukuro was just asking a routine question.....................................

Anyway, all her master asked her to do was to find out Matsumoto Kiyonaga's habits and some related matters in his life......................................

If it were truly about obtaining crucial information, Lin Jiayou wouldn't have entrusted it to Shimabukuro Kimie...

Lin Jiayou understood this, and so did Shimabukuro Kimie............................

So, in the following days, Kimie Shimabukuro diligently and responsibly cleaned Kiyonaga Matsumoto's house...

Matsumoto Kiyonaga, meanwhile, was engrossed in reading his newspaper, ignoring Shimabukuro Kimie's thoughts...

As he said before, there's nothing noteworthy in the house, so why worry about so much......................................

While cleaning, Shimabukuro Kimie was actually quietly observing Matsumoto Kiyonaga's living habits...............................

After undergoing this period of disguise training, she also realized that disguising oneself as someone is not as simple as it seems..........................

Even when she relied solely on experience to perform disguises—specifically, when she disguised herself as her great-grandmother—it was only because she had observed her mother's disguise habits for a long time that she was able to do it so convincingly…

More important than a person's abilities is the ability to disguise their subtle habits and mannerisms.

Therefore, during the cleaning process, Kimie Shimabukuro was also quietly taking notes...........................

For example, when she was organizing Matsumoto Kiyonaga's books, she would secretly observe his annotations and even note down some of his handwriting habits............................

Actually, Lin Jiayou doing this kind of thing himself is the most effective way to achieve the desired results.

However, on the one hand, Lin Jiayou wanted to be lazy, and on the other hand, he was extremely efficient at learning; he could accomplish much even just by listening and watching.

On the other hand, it's also because Shimabukuro Kimie really needs some practical experience; otherwise, what she's learned would be nothing more than castles in the air.

This is just the beginning. Later, Lin Jiayou will also arrange for Shimabukuro Kimie to impersonate some less important people and complete various tasks...

Every elite member of the organization is forged through this kind of rigorous training...

And so, Kimie Shimabukuro cleaned and observed, until.....................................

"What's this.............................."

Kimie Shimabukuro stared into thought at a blank sheet of paper with some words written on it in a drawer in the study.

The things on this look a bit strange.........................
