People in Detective Conan are going crazy over the comments section.

"Okay, okay, I'll go tomorrow morning. Okay, I'll hang up now."

After hanging up the phone, Asakawa Yu continued to sit on the sofa watching TV, waiting for Miyano Akemi to finish cooking dinner so they could eat together.

"Who called you just now? Judging from your expression, you're meeting with them tomorrow morning?"

Ai Haibara, who was sitting next to Asakawa Yu and waiting for dinner with him, asked in confusion.

Yes, Ai Haibara is here again, freeloading off others, ostensibly to keep an eye on her sister and see if she'll do anything bad.

But Asakawa Yu knew that this was just an excuse the little girl made up, just so she could spend a little more time with her older sister.

Originally, Ai Haibara wanted to help her older sister, but her sister said she could handle it by herself and told Ai to wait outside with Yu Asakawa. Unable to persuade her sister, Ai had no choice but to wait outside.

"Oh, you mean this? It's nothing, just a friend I have some business dealings with. He asked me to meet him tomorrow morning, saying he has something to discuss."

"Oh, I see... What about the coffee shop tomorrow? We can't just close it down, can we?" Ai Haibara suddenly remembered that Asakawa Yu had always been the one making the coffee. If he wasn't there tomorrow, how could the coffee shop continue to operate?

Thinking about this, Asakawa Yu was also in a dilemma, but there was no other way. In the end, she could only decide to suspend business tomorrow morning, just to give Miyano Akemi and the others a break. However, their wages would still be paid as usual. Otherwise, a coffee shop that always suddenly closes for work would probably not attract many applicants.

Actually, not everything Asakawa Yu told Haibara Ai was true.

It's true that he's going to meet someone tomorrow morning, but it's not a business partner. It's one of the two underlings he created earlier—Shinji Kido.

Yes, Shinji Kido just called to tell Yu Asakawa that he has established himself in Tokyo and has almost finished dealing with things on the organization's side. The remaining issues are being resolved by Shoichi Tsugami.

The call was to ask Asakawa Yu to come and inspect his work, and also to tell him that he had some things to report about the organization's movements.

Upon hearing that it was about the organization, Asakawa Yu perked up and agreed to meet Kido Shinji the next morning.

"Come and eat, everyone!"

Akemi Miyano's voice came from the living room.

After placing the last dish on the table, Akemi Miyano untied her apron while calling out to Yu Asakawa and the others.

"Here comes my sister!" After responding, Ai Haibara jumped off the sofa and slowly walked towards the dining table.

…………

"So, boss, you have to go out tomorrow?"

At the dinner table, Ai Haibara repeated what Yu Asakawa had just said to Akemi Miyano.

"Okay, I'll leave the house to you tomorrow. Oh, and remember to let Fujiwara know." Asakawa Yu nodded as she picked up some food.

"In that case, I'll clean up the house tomorrow. Remember to let me know when you get back, boss. I'll have dinner ready for you."

Akemi Miyano answered cheerfully, now acting like a wife encouraging her husband to go out to work, leaving Ai Haibara dumbfounded.

"Are you... are you still my sister? No, wait, who are you?"

Ai Haibara's performance was so vivid and expressive that it left Akemi Miyano, who was standing to the side, looking utterly exasperated.

"Ai!"

---------------------------------------

The next day, Asakawa Yu arrived at the place he had arranged to meet Kido Shinji, where he saw Kido Shinji, who had arrived early and was waiting for him.

"Mr. Asakawa, it's been a long time. Please come with me."

This was actually Asakawa Yu's idea. Before they arrived, Asakawa Yu had told them not to call her leader outside, but to just pretend they were ordinary friends. That's why we are in this situation.

After walking a short distance, a newspaper office stood in front of Asakawa Yu.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Upon opening the door, a group of young people of all kinds were busy at work.

"Morita, come and help me quickly!"

"Senior, over here..."

Looking at the people working hard in the hall, Asakawa Yu was a little dumbfounded.

Suddenly, someone saw Asakawa Yu and the others walk in from outside the door, and immediately, everyone who was busy stopped what they were doing.

Good morning, President!

Everyone greeted Shinji Kido with smiles, and it was clear that everyone here genuinely loved their work and deeply respected Shinji Kido as a person.

"Alright everyone, let's cheer up today!"

"Oh!" Everyone responded to Shinji Kido with great enthusiasm, and then went back to their work.

"I apologize for making you laugh, Mr. Asakawa. Let's go inside and talk."

After saying that, Asakawa Yu followed Kido Shinji into a room inside. Judging from the decorations, this should be Kido Shinji's office.

After closing the door, Asakawa Yu sat down in one of the chairs. "I didn't realize you had this kind of skill."

Asakawa Yu was praising Kido Shinji's excellent management methods. After all, if he didn't have real skills, his employees wouldn't respect him so much, which was something Asakawa Yu hadn't expected before.

"You flatter me. Actually, I initially established this newspaper to better gather intelligence about that organization. As for the employees..."

Next, Shinji Kido explained to Yu Asakawa why those employees respected him so much.

It turns out that after establishing this newspaper, in order to better disguise this place, Shinji Kido had to hire some employees, and those people were the same people who had just been outside. Some of them were recent college graduates who couldn't find jobs, and some were middle-aged people who were too old and had been laid off.

Shinji Kido gave them an opportunity, providing them with a place to work, and he paid them more than they could outside, which is why they respected him so much.

“I see. Indeed, when it comes to gathering intelligence, there’s no better choice than a newspaper. After all, these people come into contact with unusual things every day, and over time, they might also come across information about the organization.”

Asakawa Yu praised Kido Shinji's idea and gave it high praise.

"So, getting back to the main point, you said last night that you had gathered some intelligence about the organization?"
