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

Conan knew his younger brother's character all too well.

Seeing Kudo Kazuma's reaction, he knew that the kid was doing it on purpose again.

He glanced at his younger brother: "Be serious, don't talk nonsense!"

Kudo Kazuma pursed his lips: "It's not like I didn't go, so how can it be considered nonsense?"

However, there's nothing wrong with talking about this kind of thing. He simply pulled Conan aside and whispered, "Besides me, there was indeed another good-for-nothing who appeared at the Full Heaven press conference. That good-for-nothing's codename was Tequila. He actually lost his life on a simple transaction mission. It's embarrassing to even talk about that kind of thing, okay?"

Conan's eyes widened: "So, that Tequila has seen Itakura Suguru? Itakura Suguru is indeed connected to the organization?"

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "To be honest, I just got a mission to urge that Suguru Itakura to make the software the organization needs. And then, I roughly found out that Tequila had approached that guy before, wanting to cooperate with him at a high price to help make a software, but he refused."

"It wasn't a big deal originally. Anyway, that good-for-nothing didn't expose the organization, so he just didn't recruit anyone... But who knows if the organization has some kind of problem, convinced that Itakura Taku can make the software they want, so they often send people to Itakura Taku's house to do nothing but scare him. I wouldn't even use such a dirty trick, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Conan couldn't help but glance at his bratty younger brother, his eyes clearly saying: Are you sure?

Kudo Kazuma was speechless: "With that look in your eyes, believe me or not, I won't say anything?"

Conan coughed lightly, looked away, and cleared his throat: "It's nothing, you can continue."

Kudo Kazuma rolled his eyes before continuing his story: "Anyway, that's how it is. A year ago, Itakura Taku, whether out of fear or numbness, left a note in his drawer at home, choosing to cooperate with this organization whose situation he didn't even know. Tequila left him someone else's phone number so that someone else could contact him."

"However, this person seems to have some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and is also quite sensitive. Anyway, he specifically stated that no one in the organization was allowed to monitor him, so the organization only thought of asking me to urge him when the delivery date was approaching. And then... he just disappeared."

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "Not only are they looking for that guy, but I'm looking for him too!"

Conan raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "Then do you know what kind of software the organization wants Itakura Suguru to make?"

Kazuma Kudo shrugged.

"How would I know?"

All he knew was that the software was never finished.

Based on the analysis of netizens from the previous life, the organization may want to do something like bringing the dead back to life or reviving people.

Although he didn't know what this thing had to do with software...

Perhaps, maybe, possibly we want to achieve something like Noah's Ark?

Why doesn't he think Itakura Taku has the ability?

To be honest, if the boss really wants to achieve immortality or resurrection, he should come to him. It's just a matter of committing suicide and getting a puppet body.

Aside from the fact that all the puppet bodies were rendered unusable upon his death, and that all the puppet bodies were subject to his control, there was nothing wrong with him.

When Kazuma Kudo was explaining the relationship between Suguru Itakura and the organization to Conan, Kogoro Mouri also came up with a good idea to find Suguru Itakura.

He pretended to be the guest who had asked the front desk for Go, Chinese chess, and chess sets at the same time, saying that the landline in the room was malfunctioning and he was using his mobile phone to call the front desk to come and take a look.

After a few attempts, they found Itakura Taku's location—that guy was currently in room 2004 of the Beika Hotel.

So the group drove to the Mihua Grand Hotel.

Furthermore, because there were quite a few people, in addition to Kogoro Mouri and the three clients traveling in one car, Kazuma Kudo also drove Ran and Conan along.

Upon arriving at the Beika Hotel, after getting out of the car, the three clients were still arguing about who first said they wanted to find Itakura Taku to get some answers, and who first said they wanted to find Mouri Kogoro.

Even Kogoro Mouri was speechless at this—did he really have to fight for something like this?

Besides this, it is said that Itakura Taku also likes expensive watches and doesn't like people who come to see him wearing cheap watches. So the three of them started arguing about their watches and even accused the others of wearing fakes.

Kudo Kazuma and the three members of his agency were speechless.

Upon arriving at 2004, where Itakura Taku was, Kogoro Mouri rang the doorbell several times, but no one answered.

"That's really strange. There's a 'Do Not Disturb' sign hanging on this doorknob."

Having already sensed the spirit, Kudo Kazuma twitched the corner of his mouth.

Yes, this person is dead, please do not disturb.

While the group was still discussing the possible scenarios, Conan saw a hotel staff member opening the door to the next room and immediately went over and said, "Uncle, could you please open Uncle Itakura's room door for me? He seems to have forgotten that we were coming today and doesn't know where to eat."

The hotel staff hesitated for a moment: "But, isn't this inappropriate..."

Conan, taking advantage of his childlike physique, feigned urgency and said, "Hurry up, I... I can't hold it in any longer..."

The staff quickly opened Itakura Taku's door, and Conan immediately rushed into the bathroom.

He waited until the staff left before opening the bathroom door and peeking out.

The three people in the know—Kudo Kazuma, Ran, and Mouri Kogoro—stared at the miniature version of Kudo Shinichi, who was pretending to be silly and cute, and their expressions were indescribable.

Conan coughed awkwardly and simply pretended not to see it.

Fortunately, Naito Sadahira came to his rescue: "Little friend, you're very clever."

Conan chuckled and said, "If we don't come in, what if Uncle Itakura comes back and sees everyone waiting for him at the door? He might get scared and run away immediately..."

“But kid, I think you’ve gone to a lot of trouble this time,” Subeklu said with a smile. “Mr. Itakura, he just fell asleep on the table.”

Seeing this, Ryusuke Soma and Sadahira Naito stepped forward and tried to wake Taku Itakura: "Wake up!"

"Now you can't escape, can you, Mr. Itakura?"

With a gentle sway from Soma Ryosuke, Itakura Taku, who was lying on the table with his hands clutching his chest, collapsed to the ground.

Everyone was startled to see his wide eyes and the drool at the corner of his mouth.

Kudo Kazuma casually took a picture of Itakura Taku's corpse.

The person is dead, so you can't blame him for failing the mission, right?

Moreover, Naito Teihei is not wrong.

The body was already cold; Itakura Suguru really couldn't escape...
