Model worker and his little darling

The sky was full of stars, and a cool breeze was blowing.

Looking at the white sedan not far ahead, Ping Qing's face turned solemn. Just as he had thought.

Professor Agasa was taking Conan and the other four kids for a stroll nearby, while Shuichi Akai was keeping watch, presumably targeting Ai Haibara.

It seems that Shuichi Akai has confirmed Ai Haibara's identity.

However, I'd be a little reluctant to leave just like this today.

After thinking for a moment, Hirai secretly teleported behind Shuichi Akai's car and quietly placed a powerful bomb under the car.

Inside the car, Shuichi Akai suddenly felt uneasy. He had just opened the car door—

"boom!"

Shuichi Akai reacted quickly, but he was still affected by the blast wave. He lay on the main road, his fate unknown, while the cars next to him were engulfed in flames.

Akai Shuichi:......

Why was there a bomb under the car?

He had been keeping a close eye on his surroundings, and no one had come near his car during that time. The bomb couldn't have just appeared out of thin air, could it?

Pingqing really wanted to rush over and finish him off, but then he remembered that Shuichi Akai was overpowered and wouldn't die, at most he'd be seriously injured. So he suppressed his restless heart; he wanted to see something else.

Sure enough, Shuichi Akai made a move soon afterward, seemingly calling for help.

Not long after, a Peugeot 607 pulled up on the side of the road, and Judy and Camel took Shuichi Akai away, leaving behind a large pool of blood.

Hirayoshi snapped a few photos and dialed the Metropolitan Police Department.

As a law-abiding citizen, you should definitely call the police if you encounter a bombing.

Soon, police cars and fire trucks arrived.

Pingqing followed, it seemed that this time the harvest should be quite good.

Looking at the trio, Pingqing slapped his forehead, finally realizing what he had overlooked.

James Black!

They haven't shown up for so long, could they be brewing some big move against them? Compared to Shuichi Akai and Jodie, James is more like a politician, very shrewd.

Ping Qing let out a breath of stale air. He hadn't taken such a dangerous person seriously at all, and almost got himself into trouble.

Shuichi Akai was taken to the nearest Beika Hospital. When he saw James appear, Kiyoshi Taira's eyes narrowed.

Sure enough, the old man had already arrived in Japan quietly, but no one knew how long he had been there.

Why was he so badly injured?

Upon hearing James's question, both Judy and Carmel shook their heads; Shuichi Akai had not told them about his actions.

James sighed. "It looks like our plans will have to be postponed."

Pingqing, who had been quietly observing, widened his eyes. "Damn it, don't stop! Keep going! What's the plan?" Unfortunately, none of the three spoke, which infuriated Pingqing so much that he wanted to drag James into the interrogation room for a proper talk.

After seeing that Shuichi Akai's condition had stabilized, James left the hospital.

They arrived at a factory in the suburbs. Pingqing looked around and was surprised to find that it was also an FBI outpost.

Even on his own turf, James didn't do anything; he just quietly pondered.

Pingqing sighed. He was really cautious. It seemed he wouldn't hear about that plan.

Pingqing waited until dawn but still found nothing useful, so he returned to the base.

After rattling off a string of words to Karasuma Renya, he slumped onto the table and said, "Grandpa, the rest is up to you."

Karasuma Renya: ...

Who's really doing whose work?

Ping Qing slapped his forehead. The FBI was up to something, Bourbon was watching him closely, and he couldn't let his guard down with Conan either.

What terrible things has he done?

He dealt with that peripheral member, and his hideout was also blown up.

Actually, that peripheral member was quite capable; if he had passed the assessment, he could have become a codenamed member. However, he was targeted by Shuichi Akai and leaked information about the organization, so they had no choice but to send him to his death.

"How's the software going?"

Pingqing gets excited when this is mentioned. He has spent most of his energy on this recently, as it concerns his grand plan to make money, and he hasn't done many tasks.

"The subsequent development of those software programs has been completed. Now, just as I predicted, as the software's functions increase, the number of users also continues to grow. If this trend continues, it will become an everyday software that almost everyone will download. With users and traffic, cash flow can be generated, and the software can be successfully monetized."

"In the United States, there's the Schindler Company, and in Japan, there's the Suzuki Group. Everything is going very smoothly."

He's already implemented features like voice calls, video chats, money transfers, and social media sharing. Other features like shopping, entertainment, and games are also coming soon.

He just needs to say a few words, and there's a super genius standing behind him, so he's not afraid of failing.

I would also like to express my special thanks to Yoshiaki Hara and Taku Itakura for their hard work.

Even if they betrayed the organization, and now that their bodies can't be found, they can still bring profits to the organization.

What a kind person!!

Seeing Pingqing's smug look, Karasuma Renya smiled. He had let Pingqing do whatever he wanted because of his confidence, but the result was not bad.

After cutting off the communication, Pingqing smiled slyly.

A chill suddenly ran down Amuro Tooru's spine as he stood at the base. Looking at the sudden influx of missions, his already dark face darkened even further.

"Yu Lu, I haven't offended you, have I?"

Looking at Amuro Tooru standing in front of him, filled with resentment, Taira Kiyoshi said innocently, "No, you are my most capable subordinate."

"Hokkaido, tonight? Do I need to go there too?"

Ping Qing waved his hand dismissively, "Flying is quick, don't worry. The organization is big and powerful, they'll reimburse your airfare."

Toru Amuro:......

Is this a reimbursement matter?

"Are you feeling overwhelmed with tasks? Well, there's nothing I can do; the organization's been very busy lately. Sila's been called away by Gin too. How about I find you a partner?"

Seeing Mikasa's earnest attempt to help him, Amuro Tooru felt only disgust. He then glanced at the smiling Mikasa; he never believed Mikasa would be so kind.

I don't want to give him a problem and have him cleaning up his messes all day.

Taira Kiyoshi was heartbroken by Amuro Tooru's distrust, since this time it was genuine.

"No, I..."

"Boom boom boom——"

Upon hearing the knock, Pingqing let the person in.

Stinger.

"Bourbon."

After pushing the two out, Hirakiyo clapped his hands, letting them torment each other. He wanted to see if Amuro Tooru, that dark-skinned guy, still had the energy to keep an eye on him.

As Amuro Tooru was pushed out the door, he lowered his eyes, his heart filled with turmoil. Could there really be people in this world who look exactly alike?

Taira no Kiyoshi: Yes!

A group of people all have the same face.
