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

The smell of disinfectant filled Conan's nose. He opened his eyes and saw the white ceiling and Ran's worried gaze.

He vaguely remembered being hit by a ricocheting bullet that had entered the container, and bleeding profusely.

"Conan, it's so good that you're awake! Thankfully, the doctor said you were just unconscious..." Conan didn't hear what Ran said after that, he only remembered that she said he was just unconscious?

Conan quickly sat up and touched his body, only to find that he didn't have a single wound!

What happened? Wasn't I shot? How could this be...?

[Health -1, Remaining Health 98/99]

"Ran-neechan, I'm thirsty." Conan interrupted Ran's concern, "Could you please get me some water?"

While Ran was away from the hospital room, Conan clutched his head and began to think. He was certain that what happened at the dock was not a dream. The strange voice that had just echoed in his head also told him that he might have even died once.

Although it sounds bizarre, he's already experienced something like his body shrinking, so he can accept something even more bizarre.

"So, I still have 98 lives? Or rather, I can die 98 more times?" Conan thought for a moment and said, then he remembered those mysterious people in black. "Could this matter be related to them? So, we still need to investigate these people in black."

Meanwhile, because of the robbery plot, Miyano Akemi hadn't seen her sister for a long time. But today, the higher-ups finally agreed to let the two of them meet and relax.

"Sister, how have you been lately? I haven't heard from you for a while, and I was very worried." Shirley looked at her sister's slightly haggard face. "I asked them, but they just wouldn't tell me."

Miyano Akemi recalled what had happened a while ago, and then remembered Duyago's smile when she left the dock that day. She felt a chill run down her spine, then put on a smile and shook her head at Miyano Shiho: "It's nothing, I've just been a bit busy lately. The organization gave me some secret missions."

"A secret mission?" Shirley frowned slightly. She had always known that her sister was only a peripheral member of the organization. "Why would the higher-ups assign my sister a secret mission? What happened to her?"

Miyano Akemi didn't know how to start the conversation. She had been the one who kept saying she would find a way to help her sister escape the organization, but now she suddenly had to stay.

“Shiho, I…I’m going to do something for them.” Miyano Akemi said, taking a breath. Sherry was slightly taken aback, but she instantly understood what her sister meant, so she asked in surprise, “Sister, why are you suddenly…”

Shirley had always known that her sister was very resistant to working for the organization. Her sister had been a hostage held by the organization to blackmail her into developing drugs, and because of their parents, the higher-ups hadn't really pressured her to participate in the organization's missions.

Over the years, she studied and conducted research in the United States, while her sister lived and worked in China, maintaining a normal social life and friends. This was the only thing that brought Shirley comfort, considering how strictly the organization controlled her when she was in the US.

“I was too naive before. I really thought that if I did some tasks that weren’t of much value to the organization, I could make you, who was so important to the organization, leave.” Miyano Akemi held her cup, the hot coffee seemed to give her courage. “That person was right. True freedom is not something that can be given by others. I have to fight for it myself. Only by having enough value in the organization can I have the power to negotiate.”

Sherry grabbed Miyano Akemi's hand: "Sister, you can't do those things, you..."

"Shiho." Akemi Miyano pulled her hand away, looked down at her hand, and shook her head. "I can't go back."

Shirley was slightly startled. She stared at her hand in silence for a long time before finally sighing, "It seems that for people like us who have lived in darkness since childhood, longing for sunshine is just too sentimental. We're like... vampires. We might actually be afraid of being burned to ashes when we stand in the sun."

Inside the deep blue Jaguar, Jiang Jin raised his hand to turn off his headphones, opened the car door, got out, and walked towards the coffee shop across the street.

"jingle--"

The weather doll at the shop entrance swayed a few times, and the silver-haired young man walked into the shop. Miyano Akemi's expression changed slightly when she saw him.

"May I sit here?" Jiang Jin walked to the table where the Miyano sisters were sitting and smiled slightly.

Shirley could immediately sense the dark aura emanating from the other person, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, making her feel dangerous.

"you are?"

“Let me introduce myself, I’m Duya, currently Ms. Miyano’s…partner,” Jiang Jin replied. “You must be Ms. Sherry.”

Sherry got up and sat down next to Miyano Akemi. Jiang Jin thanked her and sat down opposite the two of them.

"Why are you here? Today... is the day I'm meeting with Shiho." Although Miyano Akemi was unhappy that Jiang Jin appeared directly in front of her sister, she didn't dare to question him.

Jiang Jin beckoned to a waiter, ordered a glass of lemonade, and said, "Didn't I tell you before that I had a mission? I'm here to pick you up and scout out a location."

Akemi Miyano glanced at Sherry, then nodded finally: "I understand. Now?"

“Hmm…” Jiang Jin raised his hand to look at his watch. “Yes, can you wait for me in the car? There’s something I’d like to say to Miss Shirley alone.”

“Duya, my sister doesn’t get involved in these things.” Miyano Akemi was clearly worried about Jiang Jin being alone with her sister. Jiang Jin simply rested his chin on his hand and said slowly, “If Miss Miyano insists on hearing, that’s fine too. But, are you sure you want to know something like this?”

Shirley had never seen this young man before, and she had never even heard of the code name Duyago, but that didn't stop her from realizing in that short time that he was a very dangerous guy.

She patted Miyano Akemi's hand and said to her, "Sister, it's okay. There are so many people here, he won't do anything."

Jiang Jin raised an eyebrow at Miyano Akemi, who left the coffee shop at her sister's urging.

"What do you want to say?" Sherry asked Jiang Jin after Miyano Akemi left.

Jiang Jin slowly uttered a sentence: "I know that Shinichi Kudo is still alive."

Shirley's eyes widened instantly, her grip on the cup tightened, and then she lowered her eyes again: "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Really? But I saw that shrunken detective." Jiang Jin leaned forward, his dark red eyes fixed on Shirley's face. "The medicine you invented is very interesting, don't you think? You didn't report this, did you?"

Shirley said in a deep voice, "Yes, I didn't report it because I thought the new experimental results were interesting. So, are you trying to threaten me?"

“How could that be? I’m just here to offer you a suggestion.” Jiang Jin stirred the ice cubes in his lemonade. “I know this drug wasn’t originally intended to kill people. If you report it, I think the higher-ups will be interested in the new experimental results.”

“How would I know if what you’re saying is true? After all, I was the one who concealed the truth in the first place. What if the organization punishes me?” Shirley said.

Jiang Jin smiled and glanced at his car outside the shop: "It's not like I'm deliberately trying to trick you. Believe me, if you speak up, it will only be a credit, and you might even get a job doing surveillance nearby. Wouldn't that be much freer than staying in the research lab all day?"

Shirley's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

“If you can really make a breakthrough in this area, your status in the organization will only be higher, and I believe the higher-ups will be willing to give you more privileges then,” Jiang Jin said casually. “At that time, you won’t have to live under surveillance all the time like you do now.”

Jiang Jin's words held a great attraction for Shirley, who spent her days in the lab under constant surveillance. Meanwhile, Gevas, another researcher in the lab, was completely different from her.

The woman was passionate about human experimentation and enjoyed researching all sorts of strange things, but she was also researching "that thing" at the same time.

Shirley knew it was because the organization had never trusted her and her sister, and they were always passively carrying out missions. They had been living off the meager legacy left by their parents within the organization. If it weren't for her own intelligence, she and her sister might have been abandoned somewhere to fend for themselves long ago.

Jiang Jin stood up, glanced at Shirley, and said, "I've said what I needed to say. See you next time, Miss Shirley."

"Wait," Shirley called out to Jiang Jin, "Why are you telling me all this?"

Jiang Jin smiled and said, "I guess... he just wants to have some fun."

Sherry looked at Jiang Jin's retreating figure with a puzzled expression. The inexplicable "goodwill" shown by this suddenly appearing member of the organization towards the two sisters made Sherry feel both uneasy and tempted.

After turning his head, the silver-haired youth had a half-smile on his face. He asked Sherry to report more because he hoped the organization would send someone to hunt down Conan. Even an elephant is afraid of being bitten by an ant; someone will eventually succeed.

Even if Karasuma Renya really agreed to Sherry's observation and research on Conan, Jiang Jin could still learn about Conan's movements from Sherry, making it easier to kill him.

Jiang Jin went out the door and got into the car. Miyano Akemi couldn't help but ask, "What...what did you and my sister talk about?"

"Don't worry." Jiang Jin turned to look at her. "I just gave her a small suggestion. If she accepts it, you might see each other more often in the future."

Under Miyano Akemi's puzzled gaze, Jiang Jin started the car, and the blue Jaguar drove into the traffic.

The Beika Hotel will hold a memorial service for the renowned director Akira Sakamaki in three days. Many celebrities will attend the service.

The organization's target is to kill Shigehiko Toguchi, a member of parliament who is under police investigation for suspected bribery, before the police can find evidence against him.

Jiang Jin and Miyano Akemi changed into staff uniforms and successfully entered the hotel memorial service setup area. They split up, using miniature cameras to film the entire venue layout and security arrangements.

The person who carried out the act was Pisco, whose public name was Kenzo Masuyama. He attended the memorial service as the chairman of a car company and a prominent figure in the financial world.

Three days later.

The bell rang to signal the end of school at Teitan Elementary School. Conan packed his bag and walked home with the three members of the Detective Boys. After reaching the intersection, he parted ways with the three children and went home alone.

When he was alone, Conan couldn't help but think about what had happened at the docks a while ago. There was so little information we knew about that mysterious organization; the two people who shrunk him, one named Gin and the other Vodka, both seemed to be names of alcoholic beverages.

"But what's the name of that guy who's been chasing me?" Conan muttered to himself as he walked, a casual glance out of the corner of his eye suddenly causing his pupils to shrink. "It's that guy!"

Across the street, a silver-haired young man stood at the intersection, looking down at his phone.

[The Winery Family]

Jinjiang: "Thank you so much for sending the super-strong preventative anesthetic."

Zhong Qun: "You're welcome, you're welcome. It's just my job."

Lu Renjia: "Remember to go live, Jin Shen."

Bu Xuexi: "Xiao Jin, remember to send me your feedback privately so I can make further improvements."

Jinjiang: "OK."

……

"Drip-"

The sound of a car horn snapped Conan back to reality. He realized that the sound came from a black Porsche parked not far away on the roadside, a model that was probably discontinued.

Jiang Jin put away his phone, touched his earlobe, crossed the street, and walked towards the Porsche. Conan quickly hid behind another car. Jiang Jin walked to the front of the car, but first walked around it before opening the passenger door and getting in.

"What were you doing just now?" Gin asked coldly as Jiang Jin got into the car.

Jiang Jin just wanted to see if the Grim Reaper was there, but he didn't see her. He didn't know if it was because Sherry didn't appear as Ai Haibara to remind him, or if she was hiding.

Jiang Jin smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to admire your car, since this model is no longer available."

Gin gave a cold snort, his expression unreadable.

Seeing Jiang Jin get into the car, Conan bent down and went around to the back of the car, where he attached a tracker to the rear of the vehicle.

The black Porsche started and drove away from the roadside. Conan activated the tracking device on his glasses. He had already called Professor Agasa, who would be arriving soon.

"Miyano Akemi has already arrived at the memorial service. I wonder if that senior Pisco is ready yet." Jiang Jin was sometimes troubled by the organizational members' incompetence. "There are quite a few cameramen at the scene. He had better be careful. It would be troublesome if he got filmed."

Gin, a cigarette dangling from his lips, said with a hint of disdain, "That old guy is a successful entrepreneur who rose to prominence through his organization. If he can't even handle something like this, he might as well just die."

Jiang Jin shrugged. He saw Gin smoking in the rearview mirror and thought to himself, "Gin looks so cool smoking!" Then he couldn't help but turn around and say, "Boss, smoking too much will give you lung cancer."

Gin:......

Vodka: Is it too late for me to quit smoking now?

A few minutes later, Professor Agasa arrived in his Beetle. Conan immediately got in the car, and Professor Agasa asked, "Shinichi, what's the rush?"

“I saw the Black Organization members. I put a tracker on their car. They left a few minutes ago. Doctor, I'll have to trouble you to drive faster.”
