A group of people dressed up as Conan characters, and I guaranteed the Black Team's advancement

Ever since contacting Shuichi Akai at Toya's behest not long ago, Akemi Miyano has felt uneasy. Her task was to stall him, but perhaps she made it too obvious, because Shuichi Akai noticed something was wrong.

In the end, he still left.

As Akemi Miyano walked back to her apartment, she felt someone following her. She quickened her pace; her apartment was close to the Yomiuri TV station, so she usually walked to and from get off work.

Upon entering the apartment building, Akemi Miyano pressed the elevator button. Fortunately, the elevator was on the first floor. As soon as the elevator doors opened, Akemi Miyano immediately stepped inside and pressed the close button several times.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, Akemi Miyano's heart gradually relaxed.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a hand appeared between the elevator doors, causing the doors to slide open from both sides instead of closing. Miyano Akemi leaned against the inside of the elevator, nervously watching the hand.

The elevator doors opened completely, revealing a face with silver hair and sunglasses. The young man was dressed in all black, with a black leather jacket open at the waist adorned with scattered decorations.

"Ms. Miyano, which floor?" Jiang Jin stepped into the elevator, hooked his index finger down his sunglasses, revealing his dark red eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Even when Miyano Akemi saw that it was Jiang Jin, she didn't relax and replied, "Sixth floor."

After Jiang Jin pressed the button for the sixth floor, he leaned against the left side of the elevator with his hands in his pockets. The atmosphere inside the elevator made Miyano Akemi feel particularly oppressed.

"What's up with you?" Miyano Akemi couldn't stand the silence and spoke first.

"Didn't I tell you to hold off Shuichi Akai?" Jiang Jin said calmly, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger to Akemi Miyano, but it was clearly a reprimand for her poor performance. "Didn't Miss Miyano take your mission seriously?"

"No, I contacted him." Miyano Akemi immediately defended herself. "He... saw through my intentions. This time, my behavior was too obvious. There won't be a next time."

Jiang Jin squinted at the expression on Miyano Akemi's face, trying to discern whether her emotions were genuine or not.

After a long pause, Jiang Jin finally spoke, "Has Mizunashi Rena been acting strangely lately?"

Akemi Miyano breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the other party would not pursue the matter any further.

"No, I haven't found anything wrong with her yet," Miyano Akemi said truthfully. "However, a new person recently joined the station."

"A newcomer?" Jiang Jin raised an eyebrow. The elevator had already reached the sixth floor. "I understand. You don't need to worry about her. Keep an eye on Mizunashi Rena."

Akemi Miyano nodded and looked at the elevator doors that had already opened: "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Jiang Jin nodded and even waved, "Go home, bye-bye."

As the elevator doors slowly closed, Jiang Jin took out his phone and sent a few messages.

Following the Halloween party incident, Judy was killed, forcing James to temporarily return to the United States to handle the aftermath for his team members. The investigation was temporarily taken over by Shuichi Akai. To avoid suspicion, Kiri Kawano knocked out Yukiko Kudo on the cruise ship and then shot herself.

After returning from the cruise ship, Yukiko Kudo was depressed for a while before suddenly rushing back to the United States. Before leaving, she had a long talk with Conan and told him something she had some doubts about.

Kogoro Mouri was also injured on the cruise ship, but fortunately his life was not in danger. After recovering in the hospital, he returned to his agency, and seemed to be as absent-minded and carefree as before.

Time in the world of Detective Conan has always flowed in a strange way. After Jiang Jin had been a super-powerful assassin for several months, he received a call from Gin. At that time, he was teaching someone a lesson on someone else's turf.

In a fairly nicely decorated living room, a man was tied to a chair with a blood-stained tie stuffed in his mouth, flanked by two men in black.

There was blood at the corner of the man's mouth, and scattered bloodstains on his white shirt.

In the open kitchen, Jiang Jin turned on the tap to wash the blood off his hands. His phone rang in his pocket. He turned off the tap, took a few tissues from the dining table to wipe his hands, and leaned against the table to answer the call.

"Hello, boss."

Gin's cold, deep voice came through the phone: "That engineer named Ban Cangzhuo, the higher-ups want you to go check what he's doing. The deadline for submitting the software is fast approaching, and he hasn't made a move yet."

"Okay, boss, I'll go right away after I finish what I'm doing."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Jin walked to the man in the chair, stood behind him, and suddenly patted his shoulders with both hands, startling the man.

"It's four o'clock now. Your wife should have already finished get off work and gone to pick up your son, right?" Jiang Jin's cold voice rang in his ear. "Mr. Suda, it's not good for them to see you like this."

Suda shook his head desperately, making struggling sounds. Jiang Jin pressed his shoulder and turned him to sit on the corner of the table, looking at him: "What did you say? Oh, look at me... I forgot you still have something stuffed in your mouth."

Jiang Jin raised his chin, and a man in black stepped forward and removed the tie from Suda's mouth. Suda coughed a few times, his voice hoarse, and said, "Sir, I was wrong... I'll sign, I'll sign the document!"

"Tell me, why don't you guys cooperate with us properly? You're always so greedy for small gains. Do you think you can even covet our things?" Jiang Jin picked up the documents on the table and slapped the other person's face. "President Suda, you could have earned much more. But you insisted on being greedy for small gains. Now, whatever you've taken, you'll have to give back double."

After watching Suda shakily sign the document, Jiang Jin took the document and handed it to one of the men in black. He stood up and walked towards the door, saying, "Help President Suda tidy up the house properly, so as not to frighten Mrs. Suda."

Gunma Prefecture.

An empty cabin was opened, and the person who entered scanned the room before starting to search for something. He quickly found a floppy disk in the drawer of the computer desk.

The other person took out another floppy disk from their pocket and replaced it with the original one. Before leaving, they glanced back at the room and gave a sinister smile.

"Hello, Mouri Detective Agency... Missing... Okay, my father has time, please come over."

Ran hung up the phone and smiled slightly at Kogoro Mouri, who wanted to refuse but didn't dare to, saying, "Dad, the client is coming soon, hurry up and get ready."

Kogoro Mouri sheepishly returned to his room to tidy himself up, just as Rei Furuya, who works at the Poirot Cat Cafe downstairs, arrived with a plate of sandwiches.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Mr. Mori?" Furuya Rei asked, looking at the dejected Kogoro Mori.

Conan scratched his head and said, "Uh, it's nothing." He was just punished.

"This is a new flavor sandwich, would you like to try it?"

Ran said shyly, "Brother Amuro, how can I always eat the sandwiches you make?"

"It's alright, these were extras. The boss told me to share them with Ms. Enomoto to avoid waste. I couldn't finish them all by myself anyway," Furuya Rei smiled slightly.

Kogoro Mouri quickly changed his clothes and came out. He saw Rei Furuya there and started chatting with him until the three clients arrived at the office.

They were none other than Ryusuke Soma and his two companions, who were searching for the missing Suguru Itakura. With Conan's help, Kogoro Mouri quickly located the hotel where Suguru Itakura was staying, only to find him already dead when they arrived.

While Kogoro Mouri and Conan were focused on the corpse, Rei Furuya took out his phone and sent a message.

At this moment, Jiang Jin, who was sitting in Gin's car, raised an eyebrow after receiving a message from Furuya Rei. He did not expect that Furuya Rei would happen to be involved in the case of Itakura Taku's murder.

Although it was unexpected, it didn't significantly affect his plans. He thought for a moment, then turned to Gin sitting behind him and said, "Boss, Itakura Taku is dead."

"What? How did he die?" Vodka was quite surprised.

Gin looked up at Jiang Jin: "What's going on?"

“The message from Bourbon seems to be about a revenge killing.” Jiang Jin shrugged. Gin sneered, “Anyway, he’s going to die soon, which saves us trouble. But we need to get the floppy disk back.”

Jiang Jin nodded: "I'm talking to Bourbon right now."

At the hotel, Inspector Megure quickly arrived with his team. However, in addition to the familiar Takagi and Chiba, there was one more person present—Jinpei Matsuda, who was supposed to be with the Mobile Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team.

When Furuya Rei saw Matsuda Jin's hand holding his phone, he paused for a moment, but the two of them just glanced at each other and didn't say anything, pretending not to know each other.

He lowered his head to continue reading the message Jiang Jin had sent. The content startled Furuya Rei. He glanced at Conan, who was investigating, out of the corner of his eye, and then put his phone away.

Because Soma Ryosuke said he had seen Itakura Taku go to see him, Conan, Ran, and even Kogoro Mouri were all particularly concerned about Itakura Taku's death.

Rei Furuya noticed the diary disc that Taku Itakura had placed in his bag, but thinking about the contents of the text message, he pretended not to care and watched as Conan secretly took it away.

The murderer who killed Itakura Suguru was quickly found. Before leaving, Matsuda Jinpei glanced at Furuya Rei, who looked back at him without flinching. Conan happened to see this.

Kogoro Mouri went to get the car, leaving Rei Furuya, Conan, and Ran to wait at the hotel entrance.

"Amuro-nii, do you know Inspector Matsuda?" Conan suddenly asked.

Rei Furuya's expression darkened for a moment, but he immediately recovered, so quickly that Conan didn't even catch it.

"Why do you ask?"

Conan tilted his head back and said, "Because just now, when Inspector Matsuda left, you two looked at each other, and you even nodded at him. Only people who are familiar with each other would do that, right?"

“You’re quite observant. Me and him…” Furuya Rei deliberately made a reminiscing expression to stall for time. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Kogoro Mouri’s car had arrived. “You three, hurry up and get in the car.”

Rei Furuya shook his head at him: "I'm sorry, I can't tell you. Get in the car first."

Conan looked at Rei Furuya's back with a suspicious gaze, but he thought that since the other party knew Inspector Matsuda, he might have some connection with the police.

"Conan, let's go."
