Model worker and his little darling

Inspector Megure decided to collect evidence again, and everyone left the office. The metallic sound echoed in the air once more.

Hearing the sound, Conan stopped the arcade staff and asked him to tie his shoelaces.

Watching him tie his shoelaces, Conan found the murder weapon.

Seeing Conan's confident expression, Jodie also revealed a strange look.

The group returned to the crime scene, and Takagi approached Inspector Megure. "Officer, we've thoroughly searched this floor, but we haven't found any needle-like objects that resemble the murder weapon. I think there's a very high chance the murder weapon is still on the killer."

Inspector Megure nodded and immediately decided to conduct a body search.

Conan looked at the crime scene. He already knew who the murderer was and the murder weapon had been found. Normally, he would have already anesthetized Sonoko and started deducing the truth.

But now Judy is watching him closely, making him hesitant to act rashly.

After the body search was completed, no items resembling the murder weapon were found, which greatly troubled Inspector Megure. He began to miss his brothers. If they were there, they probably would have solved the case long ago.

The case reached a stalemate. Seeing that Inspector Megure was doing nothing, the suspects started to stir up trouble and wanted to leave the arcade.

At that moment, Judy received a phone call and said she needed to leave early. Inspector Megure, seeing that she was not a suspect, nodded and let her go.

Seeing this, Conan immediately anesthetized Sonoko and began the show of the Queen of Deduction.

Before long, Inspector Megure left with the suspect, completely satisfied.

As Ran and Sonoko led Conan out of the arcade, Conan saw a man in black carrying a suitcase leave.

But because Ran was holding Conan's hand the whole time, Conan could only look back every few steps at the man in black who was passing by him, until he could no longer see him.

"Conan, what are you looking at?"

Conan looked up and saw Ran's inquiring gaze. "I was looking at that person from earlier. It was so strange that he was all in black."

"Kid, what's so strange about that? Some people just like black."

……

After Taira led Amuro Tooru out of the arcade, they got into Amuro Tooru's car.

"Royal Deer, weren't we supposed to make contact with Judy? Why did you suddenly tell me to leave? And why did you just call me by my code name?"

Hearing Amuro Tooru's three consecutive questions, Taira Kiyoshi clicked his tongue and said, "You ask so many questions. I received two missions at the last minute and didn't want to go alone, so I had to ask you to come along. As for your code name, I forgot what your name was at the time."

Amuro Tooru looked at Hirai's expression but couldn't discern anything. His codename had now been exposed to the FBI, making his undercover work even more difficult. All he wanted now was to kill Mishikazu; this guy had clearly called out his codename on purpose, deliberately exposing him.

Seeing that Touko had glanced at him several times, Pingqing chuckled, "Hey Bourbon, you haven't really fallen for me, have you? You've looked at me so many times today. But right now, the mission is more important, let's get going."

After Taira gave him a location, Amuro Tooru suppressed his displeasure and drove off, but kept observing Taira the whole time.

Although he was Yu Lu's subordinate, he didn't have much contact with Yu Lu, who generally didn't appear at the company unless necessary. He didn't mind doing missions together, as it would help him get to know Yu Lu better.

Moreover, Yu Lu changed his appearance after entering the arcade, clearly plotting something, but it's unclear who he was targeting.

Pingqing glanced at Amuro Tooru, whose brows were slightly furrowed, and clicked his tongue, wondering where this person's imagination was going.

He took Touko away because he didn't want the group to spend too much time together. He only needed to show his face and leave his name so that they would be suspicious of each other. As for doing the mission with Touko, he wanted to keep her by his side and keep an eye on her.

He was certain that if they let her go like that, Tooru would definitely change her tune and approach Jodie, or even Conan. Given Tooru's abilities, it was perfectly normal for her to discover something. And if she ended up with Conan, wouldn't all his efforts have been a joke?

Actually, he also left Conan a small gift and arranged for an outsider to simply walk around in front of Conan with a suitcase after the case was over.

As for what Conan was imagining, Conan would definitely come to him tonight, so he wasn't worried at all.

However, it seems that Amuro Tooru still needs to be kept busy. During this period, he was asked to investigate the FBI but not given any tasks, so his mind started to wander and he kept making small moves.

Upon arriving at the mission location, after a clean and efficient transaction, Taira urged Amuro Tooru to proceed to the next location.

Looking at the three men with fierce expressions, Ping Qing remained indifferent. They had come to collect something, but now it was clear that the men didn't want to give it to them.

Because Gin kept emphasizing the need to keep a low profile, it was all the peripheral members who made the initial contacts, which made people think they were some third-rate, low-level organization trying to double-cross them.

"What are you three trying to do?"

One of the men looked at Ping Qing and said, "We brought the goods, but we haven't seen your sincerity yet."

"Bourbon."

Amuro Tooru took out the box, opened it, and found it full of Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"I feel like this isn't enough."

"This is the price we've already agreed on, and now it looks like you're planning to renege on your promise."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the two men opposite him rushed toward Amuro Tooru, intending to openly rob Fukuzawa Yukichi of the box.

Pingqing knocked down the man who rushed at him with one move, took the things from their car, and when he came back, he saw the three of them lying neatly on the ground.

"Bourbon, take them down."

Amuro fired three shots, but none of them hit a fatal spot, making him look like a master of misdirection.

"Tsk, Bourbon, your skills have deteriorated. I think you need to go to the training camp to retrain."

After saying that, Pingqing shot them in the head, and the three of them were dead beyond any doubt.

Then he aimed the gun at Amuro Tooru beside him and finally pressed it against Amuro Tooru's neck.

"Bourbon, I never expected you to be such a soft-hearted person. We live in darkness, in hell. How can you not bring yourself to do it? Are you perhaps yearning for justice, praying that one day we can live in the sunlight?"

Amuro Tooru looked at the indifferent-looking Hirai Kiyoshi and calmly put away his gun. "I just wanted to torture them a little. Not only did they try to break their promise, they also attacked us."

"That would be best. Let's go back to base."

Going undercover means you're destined to have blood on your hands, to use every means possible, and to climb the ladder at all costs. He was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of person Touko would become.

I've been busy all day, scheming and plotting. I have a headache and don't want to go back to deal with Conan. Going straight back to the base is the best option, so I can see Gin.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Pingqing lay on the bed, exhausted.

He glanced at Gin's location, which happened to be in the lounge, and teleported there, ready to give Gin a good scare.

As a result, once he got behind Gin, he was almost kicked away by Gin.

Pingqing sat on the sofa, looking at Gin next to him. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would be lying on the ground and unable to get up now.

He clearly intended to scare Gin, but he almost killed himself instead.

Gin glared at Hirai, annoyed. "Don't you know to use the main gate?"

"I just wanted to see your reaction, but who knew you would be so ruthless? I almost went to meet my maker."

"Don't do this next time."

Pingqing hummed in agreement and leaned back on the sofa, his heart pounding.

After pausing for a while, Pingqing looked at Gin and asked, "How much still needs to be done? Do you need my help?"
