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

After agreeing on a time for their operation the next day with Akai Shuichi, who had transformed into Okiya Subaru, Kudo Kazuma returned to the Edogawa residence.

As it happened, Morofushi Kagemitsu was also there, and Kudo Kazuma specifically asked about matters related to the intelligence group. Sure enough, Amuro Tooru had been almost as busy lately as when he and Stout were temporarily in charge of the intelligence group.

"Judging from the current situation, at least at the Japanese headquarters, Kassa's overt forces have either been severed by Gin or absorbed by Curaçao or us. It's just uncertain how much influence Kassa still has in secret..."

Morofushi Kagemitsu sighed softly, looking at Kudo Kazuma with some concern: "The more this is the case, the more worried we become."

“If Kashasa remains inactive, it proves he still has considerable influence behind the scenes, making it difficult for us to eliminate him; if Kashasa's hidden power is insufficient, he might resort to desperate measures and strike at you first while he still has the ability…”

"Danpo, you must be careful. Protect the people around you, and more importantly, protect yourself."

Kazuma Kudo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Kassa has caused so much trouble, I've always been protecting the people around me."

As for those insignificant people... if they're insignificant, then their life or death is naturally none of his business.

That's not right either; there is still a relationship between spirit and points.

Thinking about it this way, Kudo Kazuma was almost reluctant to get rid of Kashasa—after all, he could protect the people he cared about, so why not let Kashasa cause trouble? Who knows, it might just be another wave of souls and points.

However, this thought only lasted for a moment.

He's not that arrogant.

It was one thing to not be able to find Kashasa before, but now that we know where he is, there's no reason not to kill him.

Morofushi Kagemitsu had been observing Kudo Kazuma's changing expression. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Judging from your expression, you haven't already found where Kassasa is, have you?"

Kazuma Kudo coughed lightly: "Why don't you keep an eye on your Amuro? Why do you know so much about my expression?"

Morofushi Kagemitsu chuckled softly, "Looks like that. As for me... wasn't I just bored while I was a cat?"

When Kudo Kazuma was in the United States, he stayed at Kurosawa Software for a long time. He not only understood Kudo Kazuma's facial expressions, but also Tsugami Yuuki's micro-expressions.

"Alright, I guess you're good at observing, right?" Kudo Kazuma shrugged. "Let's not talk about that. Remember to tell your Amuro that when you have some free time, you can try to arrange a meeting with Curaçao. I'd like to see her."

After Morofushi Kagemitsu agreed, Kudo Kazuma immediately began to subtly shoo him away: "Your Amuro must be very busy lately, right? I think you shouldn't waste your time at home. Go and help him. I'll give you a raise when I'm done here."

Morofushi Kagemitsu chuckled upon hearing this: "It seems you've not only found Kassasa, but you're also about to take action against him, isn't that right? You don't want Zero to know about this, but you don't mind me knowing. What, you trust me that much? Aren't you afraid I'll tell Zero?"

Kudo Kazuma scoffed: "So what if you tell him? Our disagreement is simply about whether to kill Kassasa or hand him over to the police. I don't believe that even if he finds out, he'll actually come to my door to save Kassasa's life."

If Amuro Tooru were given a chance to prepare, he would certainly make thorough preparations and find a way to capture Kassaar before he could kill him.

The problem is that it's too late for the police to arrest him now. Since they can't arrest him, they can only let him kill the other person.

So he wasn't worried at all that Morofushi Kagemitsu would tell Amuro Tooru about it.

Of course, even putting all that aside, he and Morofushi Kagemitsu had known each other for many years, and there was still a basic level of trust between them.

Morofushi Kagemitsu knew this too, so he just chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'll pretend I don't know anything and won't tell Zero any of this."

After Morofushi Kagemitsu left, Kudo Kazuma sent him a Bond message.

[There's some news you can tell your family, Amuro—that seemingly ordinary base in Kashasa actually has a rather large underground space. It's a perfect example of Rum's digging skills. I think the Public Security Bureau must be quite curious about what's in that underground space, right?]

A short while later, Morofushi Kagemitsu's account replied with a message.

【Thanks. 】

Kazuma Kudo shrugged.

Amuro Tooru was nominally "working" for him, so wasn't that a kind of "salary"?

The next day, the sky was overcast and the wind was slightly chilly.

To keep warm and make it easier to move around, Yukiko Kudo helped the "Yuri Kuroba" that Kazuma Kudo had disguised as wear a ponytail and changed his skirt into a white tight-fitting turtleneck and denim shorts, with a beige coat on top and knee-high boots on his legs.

Yukiko Kudo took a closer look and noticed that because the turtleneck underneath was slightly loose, she couldn't tell that there was a neck voice changer inside.

"Hmm, not bad, this outfit achieves the effect Mom wanted." Yukiko Kudo smiled with great satisfaction. "It was worth all the effort I put together and brought back so many outfits beforehand."

Kazuma Kudo rolled his eyes, not wanting to say anything.

As for Conan, he originally wanted to go with them, but Ran insisted that he go to school because elementary school students shouldn't skip class.

Conan was initially reluctant, but when he saw the even cuter outfit that Yukiko Kudo brought out, he immediately changed his mind and obediently followed Ran—after all, he might not be able to help when dealing with Kassa, so it was good that he didn't have to wear women's clothes.

So this time, only Yuri Kuroba was left at the Kani-tasuki restaurant.

Oh wait, there's another one, Akai... Subaru Okiya, who secretly followed and then found a suitable high place to ambush them.

Although Shuichi Akai had long guessed that Kazuma Kudo would go in disguise, he really didn't expect that this disguise was completely different from his previous one.

This kid actually dressed up as a woman?

After pausing at the pre-arranged ambush location, he finally managed to calm himself down, a feeling that was somewhere between speechless and bewildered.

He had just calmed down when he received a photo from Kazuma Kudo on his Bond account.

That was the interior of a sushi restaurant. Through the glass wall, you could clearly see the kitchen, which was open to the public, where a young man in his late twenties was diligently making sushi.

Shuichi Akai was speechless again.

Is this Kashasa, his target?

This guy seems pretty normal. Could that kid be trying to fool him?

should……

Can't you?
