Singapore's summers are unbearably hot, so after watching the game at the stadium, Jiang Jin immediately found a coffee shop with air conditioning.

Because Xiao Lan suggested that Lyon and the pirates' target might be related to Zhongfu Shipping, Jiang Jin immediately contacted Wu Yu after sitting down in a booth at the coffee shop, asking him to help investigate the cruise ships or cargo ships that Zhongfu Shipping was currently operating or that were about to operate, to see if there were any problems.

"For now, we can only wait and see." Jiang Jin raised his hand to call over a waiter and casually ordered the food. Kidd had been worried about Leon's collusion with the pirates, but seeing Jiang Jin's calm demeanor, his mind gradually calmed down.

The phone rang abruptly at that moment; it wasn't Jiang Jin's call, but Kid's. The number was unfamiliar. Kid hesitated for a moment before answering, only to be met with Conan's voice: "Kid, where are you right now?"

"Me?" Kid looked up at the coffee shop's name and told Conan, "I called you this morning, why didn't you answer? Where did you go?"

Conan said, "I'll come find you right away. This matter can't be explained in just a few words. By the way, I heard that Miss Rachel died just yesterday, when you entered the vault?"

When Rachel was mentioned, Kidd's expression turned serious: "Yes. Someone must have hidden her in the display case beforehand."

After hanging up the phone, Kidd suddenly remembered that Jiang Jin was still beside him. He quickly turned his head and saw the other man looking at him with a half-smile, his chin resting on his hand. The sound of the straw stirring the crushed ice was "clinking".

"Conan's coming over later," Kid said tentatively. "You and him... should be able to get along peacefully now, right?"

"Of course." Jiang Jin smiled slightly. After all, he had already achieved his kill KPI once, so he would reluctantly just scare Conan. Thinking this, Jiang Jin pretended to be considerate and said, "Whatever you say."

Conan quickly arrived at the coffee shop where Jiang Jin and the other two were. He thought it was just Kid alone, but unexpectedly, Jiang Jin and Ran were also sitting at the table.

His forward steps suddenly stopped, frozen a meter away from the table.

"Why aren't you coming over, little Arthur?" Jiang Jin deliberately called out the name Conan had made up.

Conan was unsure whether the other party already knew his identity.

"Conan, come here quickly. Brother Jin promised me that he would get along with you peacefully. We're on the same side this time." Seeing that the situation had become tense, Kid quickly tried to ease the tension.

Upon hearing Kid's words, Conan felt uneasy. "Doyago is with them? Does that even make sense?"

The person who kidnapped him and killed him yesterday hasn't been ruled out as Duago! Isn't Kidd supposed to be smart? How come he believes whatever Duago says?

The last person who claimed to be in cahoots with the other party was Hondo Eisuke, and look how badly he was fooled!

Jiang Jin glanced at Kid with a smile, saying nothing, but looking at Conan with a playful gaze, like a cat toying with a mouse or a snake teasing its prey.

Seeing that Conan didn't move, Kid had no choice but to step forward and whisper to Conan, "Trust me, he really won't do anything to you."

"I believe you, but I don't believe Duyago!" Conan thought to himself.

"He promised to let you off this time and will even investigate these matters with us." Kidd's tone was full of trust in Jiang Jin. "Although he has a bad temper, likes to joke around, uh... and likes to scare people, he's definitely not a good person..."

Towards the end, Kidd himself became a little embarrassed, but he immediately added confidently, "However, he always keeps his word and has never lied to me."

Conan looked at Kid incredulously: "How do you know he hasn't lied to you before?"

“A magician’s intuition,” Kidd replied seriously. “I’m sure that everything he promises or tells me is the truth.”

In Conan's mind, Duago is a complete villain, a pervert, a madman. How did he become an honest and kind bad guy in other people's mouths?

The last person to think this way was Mr. Matsuda, and now there's Kidd too. They have no idea how dangerous Duago is.

No, perhaps it's the fact that others trust him so much, that he wears a gentle exterior while being a devil beneath, that makes Conan even more terrified.

“You can’t trust Duago. Didn’t you want to know where I went? I didn’t see Miss Rachel yesterday, and when I heard the stadium alarm go off, I immediately went back, only to be kidnapped.” Conan said seriously, “They used a voice changer, interrogated me about my identity, and even tried to kill me. Who else but Duago would want to know my identity?”

Kidd hadn't forgotten Jiang Jin's words, so he retorted, "At that time, he was with Xiao Lan. And yesterday I was injured, and he treated me. After that, he received a phone call and went to the hospital because that Miss Suzuki had been in a car accident. He didn't have time to kidnap you and interrogate you."

“Even if he didn’t do it himself, he could have found someone else.” Conan’s words were certainly true, but in Kid’s eyes, Conan’s words sounded like a trumped-up charge. “Great Detective, even if your suspicions are correct, where is the evidence? Don’t you always believe that reasoning relies on evidence?”

Conan was speechless for a moment, because he really had no evidence; he relied solely on his knowledge of Duyago and the fact that he had survived the previous night.

“Okay, even if you’re right. But if we want to continue investigating Leon, there are some things we do need his help with.” Kid didn’t want to argue with Conan anymore, so he changed his approach. “We’ve found out that Leon is colluding with a pirate named Eugene, and they’re probably plotting something.”

"Pirates?" This news surprised Conan. Kid nodded. "I think Leon is involved in the deaths of Sheryl Dan and Rachel."

Jiang Jin sat at the table, completely unconcerned about how Kid was trying to persuade Conan, since investigating these matters wasn't a necessity for him.

Even if the two of them turned and left now, Jiang Jin wouldn't try to stop them.

"Buzz—" The phone on the table vibrated. Jiang Jin leisurely picked it up and glanced at it, then picked it up with a slightly puzzled look, and then tapped the side of the cup with his finger. "Hey, are you two done chatting? I have some new information here. If you don't want to listen, you can leave now. Don't disturb my afternoon tea with Xiao Lan."

Kid patted Conan on the shoulder, gave him a look, and then turned around and said, "Of course I'll listen."

Conan glanced at Jiang Jin with a helpless yet wary look, then slowly walked over and climbed onto the chair.

“Breaking news! My people have found out that Zhongfu Shipping has two cargo ships and one cruise ship around Singapore. And that cruise ship has deviated from its planned route.” Jiang Jin said, flipping the screen of his phone to show the cruise ship's information. The other three people crowded around to look. “The cruise ship was originally supposed to dock at Singapore's port, but now…”

Jiang Jin swiped his finger across the phone screen, splitting it into two screens. The other screen showed a map: "Following this route, the cruise ship is very likely to crash into the Singapore city area."

At this point, Jiang Jin laughed, "I knew that Lyon's cooperation with the pirates wouldn't be for such a short-sighted reason. So he actually wanted to destroy the newly built city? How interesting."

Conan frowned deeply, glaring angrily at Jiang Jin: "Come on, what's so interesting about this?"

Kidd quickly interjected, "So what do we do now?"

"We have to go to the police," Conan said, frowning. "The only person we can talk to is Officer Rishi."
