The night was beautiful and alluring. A black Ducati 996 sped across the Shiratori Bridge, the rider constantly overtaking other vehicles on the bridge. Such a motorcycle inevitably attracted the attention of other drivers.

The car screeched to a halt at the Floating Clouds and Moon Bar. Jiang Jin took off his helmet, strode out of the car, and leisurely walked into the bar, turning the car keys.

The bar was quiet; no one else was there today, except for Elmed, who was silently wiping glasses. Seeing Jiang Jin arrive, she gave him a slight nod.

Since the incident with Itakura Taku ended, Jiang Jin had Furuya Rei hand over the floppy disk that had already been obtained to his superiors, and then he continued to operate in super-hero mode.

Jiang Jin was currently burdened with a mountain of tasks, leaving him no time to bother Conan. He sat behind the bar, took out his phone from his pocket, then pulled out a new SIM card from the other side to replace the original one, and made a call.

The call was quickly answered, and a woman's voice came through.

"Hello, this is Shimizu Reiko."

"Good night, Ms. Shimizu." Shimizu Reiko heard a mechanical voice, indistinguishable between male and female, on the other end of the phone. "Who are you?"

Jiang Jin rested his chin on his hand and replied casually, "Didn't Miss Shimizu say she wanted to join us?" Jiang Jin watched as Aimod skillfully poured various liquors into a transparent square glass. "Miss Shimizu is much more pragmatic than your father."

Reiko Shimizu, on the other end of the phone, was taken aback at first, then her tone was filled with surprise: "I didn't expect that guy could actually contact you. Since you're interested in my family's company, can I join you?"

"Of course, but Ms. Shimizu needs to do some things first to prove your abilities."

Shimizu Reiko immediately asked, "What do I need to do?"

"April 4th is the time when Yokohama Bashiro Bank transports cash every month. If you can steal all the cash from that armored truck, then you can prove that you have the ability to join us."

This task was proposed by higher authorities; Jiang Jin was merely issuing the task as an inspector.

Shimizu Reiko paused for a moment, then replied, "April 4th, Yokohama Shabado Bank, right? I understand. Just wait and see. But how am I supposed to contact you after that? Is this the same phone number?"

Jiang Jin smiled and said, "I will know when you succeed, and I will contact you again then."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Jin slowly took out the SIM card and folded it in half. Aymod's drink, just mixed, was pushed in front of him.

Octover 4st

A bank robbery occurred near Yokohama's bus lanes, resulting in the murder of a bank security guard and the complete looting of the armored truck.

On the same day, Phantom Thief Kid visited the Deep Mountain Collection.

"I've already robbed the armored truck. I've passed your test, haven't I?" Shimizu Reiko leaned back on the sofa, the light shining on her face, making her beautiful but exuding a dangerous aura.

Shimizu Reiko received another call from Jiang Jin, from a different number but with a voice changer, just like before.

Jiang Jin sat on the sofa, watching the news on TV: "Well done, I saw the news. Did you encounter any trouble?"

"Fortunately, the police didn't spot us. But..." Shimizu Reiren paused, "we killed a security guard, and I think that's a bit troublesome."

"You guys? Who else is with you?" Jiang Jin asked.

“My two college classmates,” Shimizu Reiko replied.

“You have companions…” Jiang Jin turned off the TV screen and leaned back on the sofa. “Have you told them you wanted to join us?”

"of course not."

"Killing the security guard will make the police take the case more seriously, but it doesn't matter, we'll just find them a killer. Your two companions are a problem, let's take care of them too. You understand what I mean?"

"I understand," Shimizu Reiko replied.

The call was disconnected again. Qingshui Liren was actually somewhat annoyed by Jiang Jin's seemingly dismissive attitude. But she also knew that her two accomplices were indeed a problem.

Ito Suehiko was timid, cowardly, and loved to show off, while Nishio Masato was hot-tempered and impulsive; he was the one who killed the security guard. Actually, Shimizu Reiko had something else she was keeping from Jiang Jin: when they were robbing the armored truck and escaping, they saw the Phantom Thief Kid, and Shimizu Reiko strongly suspected that he had seen them as well.

She was just afraid that if she spoke up, the other party would refuse to let her join because she had made too many mistakes.

"It's alright, he's just a thief, we can take care of him too." A sinister expression appeared on Shimizu Reiko's beautiful face.

From a young age, she had an inexplicable interest in crime, so she joined a crime research club in college. However, everyone in the club joined because they wanted to become detectives, except for Shimizu Reiko.

Shimizu Reiko genuinely wanted to do some criminal things, as it would excite and thrill her.

She was able to get involved with the organization because her family was involved in biopharmaceutical research and development; her father owned a company that specialized in marine biopharmaceutical research.

Her research focused on extracting genes or cells from marine organisms for drug research. This is why her university major was marine studies. However, Shimizu Reiko had absolutely no interest in marine biology research, so she only studied in front of her father, while secretly researching criminology.

Some time ago, a mysterious organization proposed to cooperate with their company, but Shimizu Yu refused, saying that he did not want to have any dealings with dangerous elements.

After learning about this, Shimizu Reito obtained the contact person's phone number from her father's secretary. She then secretly contacted the person and said that if she joined, she could find a way to persuade her father to cooperate with the organization.

After the contact person reported the incident, Shimizu Reiko was asked to wait. So she waited until a few days before the robbery occurred before Jiang Jin called.

On April 8th, Nishio Masaharu, the head of the sales department of Far East Investment Company, was shot and killed. That same night, a car overturned at the dock, and police investigation revealed that the driver, Ito Suehiko, was the murderer of Nishio.

After being taken away by the police, Suehiko Ito disappeared after being in a coma in the hospital for two days.

As night fell, Shimizu Reiko received another mysterious phone call from the organization. She was somewhat uneasy. Although Nishio was dead, Ito Suehiko had disappeared. That person was like a time bomb, making Shimizu Reiko very uneasy.

"What should we do now? That guy Ito managed to escape right under the police's noses. I was originally planning to kill him once he woke up." Shimizu Reiko's voice sounded somewhat anxious.

You ask me what to do?

"What's the rush? Right now, the police are even more eager to find Ito Suehiko than you are. All you need to do is play the innocent secretary. If necessary, use some unconventional methods to disappear from the police's sight. Then secretly follow them, and they will lead you to Ito."

"I see."

“Miss Shimizu, you’ve dragged this out long enough, and now you’ve turned Ito Suehiko into a ticking time bomb. This will make the higher-ups doubt your competence.” Jiang Jin’s tone was full of pressure. Shimizu Reiko said nervously, “Please give me some more time. I will handle these things.”

Jiang Jin didn't actually care about Shimizu Reiko, because what the higher-ups were interested in was the pharmaceutical company behind her. He just didn't want to deal with Shimizu Reiko if the police found anything wrong with her.

Two weeks later—

In Beihu Town Apartment, Jiang Jin finally managed to pet Hello while shaking the toy in his hand.

He was very busy recently and didn't have time to go back to pay the electricity bill. He was also worried that Mingyuan, a dog, might arouse suspicion from the neighbors if he stayed home alone, so he asked Furuya Rei to help take care of him.

Anyway, he's more relaxed than Jiang Jin now. He can raise one dog or two dogs, and he can also have Mingyuan keep an eye on Furuya Rei secretly.

It's no wonder Jiang Jin is suspicious; after all, this kid is quite the actor.

"Thank you for bringing so many toys and snacks for Haro." Rei Furuya came out of the kitchen carrying a glass of chilled lemonade. "Come and have something to eat."

Jiang Jin gave the toy he was holding to Haro and sat down on the sofa. Furuya Rei handed him a glass of lemonade: "I should also thank Rei for taking care of Erha for me. By the way, did he cause you any trouble?"

“No.” Rei Furuya looked at Meigen and patted his head. “It’s very smart.”

Mingyuan: Pretending to be a dog is really tiring.

"I also baked some cookies, just a moment." Furuya Rei said as she walked back to the kitchen. Jiang Jin sat obediently on the sofa drinking lemonade when suddenly his phone in his pocket started ringing incessantly. It was a message tone from a group chat.

Jinjiang: "Maybe... my phone is out of battery."
