Conan and Gin are both my brothers, what's wrong with meeting them once?

"Hey bro, don't look so grumpy!"

Seeing that Gin looked unwell, Kudo Kazuma took out his phone and waved it at him: "Look, it's almost 4:50. Let's go find that travel agency first."

Gin, though usually cold and aloof, rarely had such a sour face.

As for why he looked so unwell this time, he could guess without being told.

It's just that they feel it's not in line with the organization's style to conduct transactions dressed like they're here for leisure.

"Brother, don't you think about it? This beach is only so big, and there are only about twenty or thirty tourists. If we wear all black, how conspicuous will we be?"

"Besides... what idiot would wear all black on the beach in this sweltering heat? Isn't that just crazy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed Gin's cold and piercing gaze, and quickly raised his hands, his attitude sincere: "Ahem, I absolutely didn't mean anything by you, brother, really, besides, you're not dressed all in black right now, are you?"

Gin snorted but didn't say anything.

"Hehe~" Seeing that Gin's complexion wasn't so bad anymore, Kudo Kazuma pushed him with both hands and walked towards the small inn.

There really aren't many people on this little beach.

The two of them met a young woman with beautiful long hair and wearing a purple dress openly at the back door of the small hotel.

"Mitsuko Sekine, right?"

"It's me. You're the people who agreed to meet here?"

Kudo Kazuma tilted his head and uttered the pre-arranged secret code.

After confirming their identities, Gin went to smoke a cigarette a short distance away, taking the opportunity to observe whether anyone was paying attention to them.

Mitsuko Sekine took out a black document bag from her brown travel bag and showed it to Kazuma Kudo.

Kudo Kazuma also took out a matching travel bag from his own travel bag and had Sekine Mitsuko count the money inside.

Buying a large amount of information on top medical experts and outstanding medical graduate students for 100 million yen is really a good deal.

And since this Mitsuko Sekine didn't seem like the kind of person who sold information, Kazuma Kudo couldn't help but gossip a bit.

"Excuse me, where did you get these materials from?"

Seeing that the other party seemed reluctant to talk, and in order to ensure the safety and accuracy of the information source, Kudo Kazuma simply used the [Sound Bewitching] skill to confirm it again.

It turns out that Mitsuko Sekine was able to obtain this information entirely thanks to her ex-fiancé—her ex-fiancé Tanaka was a doctor. Just when the two were about to get married, Tanaka became involved with the daughter of the director of a major hospital, and their wedding was indefinitely postponed.

The young lady from the big hospital came to see Mitsuko Sekine more than once, wanting her to completely sever ties with Tanaka, but Mitsuko Sekine never agreed.

Mitsuko Sekine had a friend who was an outsider to the organization. After learning from her friend that she could sell those materials for a lot of money, she took the initiative to approach the hospital's rich girl as a condition for her to completely break off with Tanaka.

After learning that the source of the information was the director of the major hospital and his daughter, Kudo Kazuma was completely relieved.

He specifically used the [Sound Bewitchment] to warn Mitsuko Sekine: "I don't care about your affairs, but you must completely forget about the two of us, forget about this transaction, and forget about everything related to the organization."

Mitsuko Sekine paused for a moment, then slowly nodded, completely ignoring Kazuma Kudo, and turned to leave.

"Big brother~" Kudo Kazuma shoved his backpack into Gin's hand. "You can keep the documents safe. I'm going to the beach!"

Before he could leave, Gin grabbed him.

"No..." Kudo Kazuma cleared his throat, "Isn't it safer to take these documents with you? I still need to go have some fun!"

Gin snorted.

"Let's go together, you carry the things."

Kazuma Kudo: "..."

With Gin around, he couldn't just throw his backpack into the system space.

How can he go swimming with so much data on his back?

"Forget it, let's go back to the hotel and go out again tomorrow."

Putting everything else aside, this little beach is quite far from Tokyo. Since it's not realistic to rush back after completing the transaction that night, it's better to rest here for the night and play for a while the next day before leaving.

After checking into the hotel, the two of them took their travel bags and went to the only restaurant nearby for dinner.

Then, unexpectedly yet predictably, they ran into the trio from the agency who were having dinner...

"Huh? Brother Xiaoyin, and Kurosawa too... um..."

Conan suddenly remembered what he had overheard on the bugging device last time: that Kurosawa Jin didn't like hearing him call him "Big Brother Kurosawa." After hesitating for a moment, he changed his words: "Mr. Kurosawa, you're here too? What a coincidence!"

Gin nodded to the three of them without saying a word.

"What a coincidence." Kudo Kazuma really didn't expect to run into the three of them in this small, run-down place. He immediately started making up a story, "We originally wanted to find a small island that we had heard about from someone else, but we couldn't find it and ended up here by mistake."

"What a coincidence!" Xiaolan couldn't help but exclaim. "We also accidentally got lost and ended up here!"

Kazuma Kudo: "..."

No, he made up a story about taking the wrong road. So these three really did take the wrong road?

Is Kogoro Mouri just directionally challenged, or is it the will of the world causing trouble?

Having unexpectedly encountered the trio, and knowing that he was likely to receive more spirit souls, Kudo Kazuma's mood immediately improved.

After dinner, Conan and Ran were going to the beach to watch the sunset, so Kazuma Kudo tossed his travel bag containing important documents to Gin and went out to watch the sunset with them.

Gin assumed that Kudo Kazuma was in a good mood because he had seen his family, so he didn't want to spoil his mood. After gesturing to Kogoro Mouri, he picked up his travel bag and went back to the hotel, leaving Kogoro Mouri behind to continue drinking.

After watching the sunset, Kudo Kazuma went to the only shop on the beach, bought some basic snorkeling equipment, and went back to the hotel to play on his phone—mainly because there wasn't much to do on this small beach, and he didn't really want to be a third wheel…

The next day, after getting up, Kudo Kazuma ate something and then planned to go diving.

"This little shabby beach doesn't seem to have much to do besides diving and sunbathing. Do you want to come along, brother? I bought you some diving equipment too."

"Don't go."

Kazuma Kudo shrugged.

He understands.

Even when dressed simply in black trousers and a white shirt, Gin always carries at least two guns and various weapons such as a dagger and poison needles.

If you really let him change clothes and go diving, he definitely wouldn't feel safe without being able to bring weapons.

Kazuma Kudo, who went diving alone, unexpectedly encountered Conan and Ran, who were swimming together underwater, and then...

They found Mitsuko Sekine's body underwater.

Looking at Mitsuko Sekine's figure, which resembled a ghost from the water, Kazuma Kudo couldn't help but gasp for fresh air from his diving gear and turn to look at Conan not far away.

The power of death is terrifying!
