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

The maple leaves in the courtyard swayed in the wind, like a fiery red cloud. A maple leaf fell from a branch and drifted down to the wooden window frame.

Through the wooden-supported window, the head of the Ooka family listened with a somber expression as his secretary reported on the current situation on the internet.

"There's all sorts of speculation online right now, and some people are even saying that you've offended some powerful force..."

The head of the Ooka family slammed his hand on the desk, his dark blue kimono adding to his somber and imposing aura: "Absurd! When has the Ooka family ever been afraid of any petty person who only dares to scheme behind people's backs! With so many police officers in Tokyo, can't they even catch a cowardly scoundrel hiding in the shadows?"

The secretary kept her head down and didn't dare to say anything.

Although the head of the Ooka family said so, when it came to forces, he couldn't help but think of organizations, and of Binga and Rum, who had tried to win him over not long ago.

He hasn't given a clear answer to either side; after all, this isn't something that can be decided on a whim. Could it be that one of them, unable to be won over, is resorting to threats?

The head of the Ooka family fell into silent contemplation. Was it Binga or Rum? He couldn't be sure, but he would definitely investigate this matter secretly. If all else failed... he could expose both of them. Karasuma Renya would always handle these troubles for him.

After all, Karasuma Renya would not let it go easily if his subordinates betrayed secrets and tried to defect to someone else.

"As for Momiji, it's best if she doesn't participate in tomorrow's competition." The only thing the Ōoka family head was worried about was his granddaughter. She had been preparing for this Satsuki Cup for a long time. It's all those people's fault for causing trouble at this time!

The secretary replied, "But... Miss has already decided to participate in tomorrow's competition."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Ooka family simply sighed: "Then let those police send more men, keep their spirits up, and make sure the safety of tomorrow's match is guaranteed!"

Because both the Achiba Gymnasium and the Satsuki Hall are located in Osaka, police from Osaka Prefecture, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and Kyoto Prefecture couldn't relax that night.

As the saying goes, people never feel troubled when they are doing bad things. Even though there were many things to plan for tomorrow's operation, the group members finished their parts early, and even had time to gather at the bar to play cards in the evening.

As soon as Jiang Jin entered the second floor of the bar, he saw five or six people gathered together. Kawano Qi, Qiushan Yuying, and Mingyuan were playing cards, while the others watched.

After Mingyuan lost three rounds, Jiang Jin finally couldn't sit still any longer: "Come on, let me play a couple of rounds."

Mingyuan gave up his seat to Jiang Jin and broke down in his guard, saying, "Brother Jiang, Qiushan is good at card counting! You'd better avenge me!"

Akiyama Yuying raised an eyebrow: "Oh, now that you've beaten the dog, you're going to beat the owner."

Kawano Ki twitched her lips and gave Akiyama Yui a thumbs up: "You absolutely mustn't lick your lips, or I'm afraid you'll poison yourself."

Jiang Jin rolled up his sleeves and sat down: "That's too much, Erha. We must combine our skills and become one with our dog."

Mingyuan: ?

After three rounds, Jiang Jin held his cards, glanced to the side, then looked at his own cards, and calmly took out two cards: "A pair of nines."

Akiyama Yuying narrowed her eyes. She felt that something was not right. How come this guy always managed to play cards that she didn't have? And shouldn't he already have a pair?

She carefully observed Jiang Jin's expression, but couldn't find any flaws, so she waited for him to play another card. Wait a minute! She remembered playing that card!

"Wait, fine, you cheated!" Qiushan Yuying slammed her hand on the card table. Jiang Jin looked at Qiushan Yuying with an innocent expression. "What cheating? This is the Jack of Hearts."

"I remember this Jack of Hearts came out before," Akiyama Yuying said with absolute certainty. Jiang Jin couldn't believe it. "Really? You really remember?"

Qiushan Yuying accurately predicted the cards Jiang Jin might have in his hand.

Holy crap! This guy can actually count cards!

Just as Jiang Jin was about to pay the full amount, his phone rang at the right moment, and Jiang Jin immediately answered it.

"Are you a family member of Mr. Matsuda? Mr. Matsuda has gone missing..."

Jiang Jin didn't even listen to what was said on the phone, and immediately agreed: Yes, yes, yes, it's me, it's me, I'll be right there!

With that, she hopped over the sofa and ran away in a flash. Qiu Shan Yu Ying angrily threw down her cards, slammed her hand on the table, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Jiang Jin, you just wait! You dare to cheat and then run away, I'm going to write you a lot of 'dirty rag' articles, I'll write you to death!"

Kawano Ki leaned back, and all the spectators immediately moved away from Akiyama Yui, their eyes filled with both awe and anticipation.

After Jiang Jin fled, he realized he hadn't hung up the phone: "Hello. What did you just say?"

"This is Taiqin Private Hospital. We can't find Mr. Matsuda Jinpei in room 412. He was supposed to go for a check-up just now, and we're looking for him now. Your phone number is listed in his family contact section. Could you please come over as soon as possible?"

Jiang Jin was genuinely surprised to receive such a call. He paused for a moment before saying, "No, how could such a grown person get lost? You guys keep looking for him, and I'll contact someone to go over right away."

After he hung up the phone, he called Furuya Rei, but no one answered.

Jiang Jin had no choice but to leave a message and drive to the hospital. When he arrived, the person had not yet been found, and Jiang Jin frowned as he watched the surveillance footage in the monitoring room.

"Stop! What does that direction lead to?" Jiang Jin pointed to a direction in which Matsuda Jinpei disappeared in the surveillance footage. The security guard replied nervously, "It looks like a hospital stairwell that leads to the rooftop..."

The security guard had barely finished speaking when the door to the monitoring room slammed shut. Jiang Jin rushed up to the rooftop, where the door was open. He immediately spotted Matsuda Jinpei, dressed in a hospital gown, pacing back and forth on the edge of the rooftop.

Jumping off a building? Suicide? Can't think straight? Several thoughts flashed through Jiang Jin's mind. He didn't dare to suddenly call out Matsuda Jinpei's name for fear of upsetting him.

How do we get him out of there? Hug him from behind? Pounce on him from the side? Rush over and throw him over the shoulder? Yes! Rush over and throw him over the shoulder, slamming him inside.

As for whether an over-the-shoulder throw will cause injury? Please, if you're about to die, getting a minor injury is better than running around aimlessly. Anyway, doctors can treat you!

Jiang Jin was a man of action; once he made a decision, he rushed over immediately. Matsuda Jinpei wasn't a dummy, so he naturally sensed something behind him, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Jiang Jin charging towards him aggressively and grabbing him with a standard over-the-shoulder throw.

The positions changed, and Matsuda Jinpei lay on the inside, his face pale, his hand trembling as he pointed at Jiang Jin: "You..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? I'm saving you. Are you crazy?" Jiang Jin interrupted him.

"You're the one who's crazy, Amamiya! Why didn't you just push me down there!" Matsuda Jinpei shouted angrily. Jiang Jin pointed at himself, "You want to commit suicide, fine, but you're trying to drag me down with you?"

Matsuda Jinpei was clearly badly hurt by the fall, and he gasped as he spoke: "Who said I was going to commit suicide?"

"Then what are you doing standing by the building?"

“A little patient’s toy fell onto the terrace downstairs, so I’m standing here to check its location for her,” Matsuda Jinpei replied with a helpless expression.

Jiang Jin stood there stunned for a while before he reacted. He turned his head and looked down from the rooftop, and sure enough, he saw a toy stuck on the terrace below.

"Damn..."

Clearly, thanks to Jiang Jin's help, Matsuda Jinpei couldn't run around anymore. Jiang Jin guiltily touched his nose, walked over, and helped Matsuda Jinpei up: "Are you alright?"

"What do you think?" Matsuda Jinpei asked with a half-smile.

Jiang Jin half-supported and half-carried Matsuda Jinpei back to his ward. After examining him, the doctor regretfully told Matsuda Jinpei that he might have a slight fracture, but it was not a serious problem and he would recover in a few days.

After the doctor left, Jiang Jin leaned against the pale wall. Before he could speak, Matsuda Jinpei said, "Although it was a misunderstanding, it finally made you stop avoiding me."
