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

A murder occurred in Toriya Town; a capitalist's wife was shot dead on a rooftop. Because no one could be found to have committed any crime against Mrs. Funamoto, and nothing was discovered at the crime scene, the police investigation stalled.

“…I said I saw the person who was in the car accident was a big brother with short silver hair, and I only told my mother,” Touji Funamoto replied to Eisuke Hondo. “Then the woman started laughing.”

The silver-haired older brother... it really is Duyago! Conan looked at Hondo Eisuke again, but he had his back to him, so Conan couldn't see the expression on his face.

So, could this person... could it be that he knew about this and deliberately came here? Hondou Eisuke, what exactly is your relationship with Mizunashi Rena!

Conan continued to follow the investigation with a belly full of surprise and doubt. He originally thought that this was probably something the organization did to silence Mrs. Funamoto.

However, Conan noticed several times that Mr. Funamoto always had an unnatural expression whenever Touji mentioned topics like women in black.

Conan then found an opportunity to secretly say to Touji, "That's strange, why won't your dad let you tell us about the woman in black?"

“Actually, I think it’s because Dad is afraid of them. Sometimes people dressed in black come to our house, and Dad always seems to be very afraid of them,” Touji Funamoto answered softly with his head down.

Conan was startled, but calmly asked again, "You mean, your father will meet with people dressed in black?"

"Yeah. But Dad always makes Mom take me away. My mom doesn't like those people, and I think they're weird too. And sure enough, something bad happened this time..."

Conan finally understood why Mr. Funamoto was behaving so strangely. He was so afraid of the organization that he didn't even dare to let his son talk about anything related to the organization, even after his wife was killed.

Because there were very few clues left in this case, and the killer shot the victim from a distance, the police could only investigate slowly.

444, 2nd Street, Beika Town.

When Ai Haibara opened the door and saw Conan, she merely raised an eyebrow slightly: "Edogawa-kun, is there something you need?"

"I'd like to ask Ms. Haibara some questions," Conan said, standing outside the door.

Ai Haibara turned and went into the house, replying casually, "Come in and let's talk."

The living room light was fixed this time. Haibara sat on the sofa, and Conan sat opposite her, took out his phone and handed it to her: "I wanted to ask, do you know this person?"

Ai Haibara took the phone, glanced at it, and nodded: "I know him."

Conan's eyes lit up: "Who is she?"

"Isn't she that famous TV presenter? The one from the morning news, her name is... Rena Mizunashi?" Ai Haibara asked.

Conan's eyes showed a momentary look of disappointment, but he persisted, "Besides that, do you know she's part of the organization?"

Ai Haibara looked surprised and asked Conan how he knew. Conan then told her about what happened to Yasuharu Tsuchimon a while ago.

"You really are lucky to be alive." Ai Haibara said sarcastically after hearing this, and then said, "You've really asked the wrong person about this. I've already said that I'm just a researcher, and most of the people I know are researchers like me. I hardly know anyone else in the organization."

Actually, Conan was just trying his luck; he was currently investigating Rena Mizunashi and Eisuke Hondo. He was still a little disappointed that the signal device he had left under Rena Mizunashi's shoe had been discovered by Toago, otherwise he might have been able to get more clues about Rena Mizunashi.

"Since you don't know either, then I won't bother you any longer." Conan said, preparing to leave, but Ai Haibara called out to him, "Wait."

Ai Haibara went upstairs and came down shortly after, handing Conan a medicine box: "This is the new antidote for the next stage of research that we just developed."

Conan took the medicine box without saying anything. As he turned to walk to the door, he heard Ai Haibara say behind him, "Let me give you a piece of advice: don't be too curious about everything."

After everyone left, Ai Haibara thought for a moment, picked up her phone, and dialed a number. The call was quickly answered, and Ai Haibara said, "Kudo is here to ask me about someone named Rena Mizunashi..."

On the other end of the phone, the room was dimly lit, and Jiang Jin was entirely in the shadows. He leaned back on the sofa and, upon receiving Ai Haibara's call, said unhurriedly, "So what did you say to him?"

"No. I really don't know her. Is this woman also part of the organization?"

Jiang Jin glanced down at the photo on the table: "Yes. Have you heard of the code name Kiel?"

“Kiel?” Ai Haibara thought for a moment. “I have indeed heard of him. It seems that the person who caught the undercover agent four years ago was someone named Kiel. But I only heard about it from other people. At that time, the organization was looking for an undercover agent who had been hiding for a long time.”

Jiang Jin sat up, reached out and picked up a photo from the table. The photo showed a man in his thirties.

"I understand. By the way, how's the research on the medicine going?"

“We’ve already entered the second phase. I gave him the medicine when he came over today,” Ai Haibara said.

The two hung up the phone without saying anything more. Jiang Jin sat there with an air of nonchalance, placing the photo in his hand among two other photos he had taken out separately.

“Hondo Eisuke, Hondo Eikai, Ethan Hondo…” Jiang Jin’s tone was sinister, as if he were reciting a death list rather than names. He tapped his fingers on the three photos and said, “Go and deliver these three photos to Mizunashi Rena, just like before.”

"Yes." A hand reached out from across the river; it was Numazuki Ichiro. He took the photo, then, as if remembering something, said, "By the way, sir, when I was following Hondo Eisuke, I discovered that someone else was also monitoring him."

Jiang Jin glanced at Zhao Yuan and smiled enigmatically: "It's alright, you don't need to worry about that person. But be careful, don't let them find out."

"I see."

As the black Porsche drove along the road, Vodka talked to Gin about Jiang Jin.

“I wonder when Duago’s screening will be over. I’m actually starting to miss him,” Vodka said with a grin. Gin glanced at Vodka in the rearview mirror, and Vodka continued, “After all, it’s quite easy working with him.”

“Once there are no problems, it’s over.” Gin’s tone was unreadable, but he inwardly agreed with Vodka’s words. Duago’s efficiency and ability were indeed something Gin rarely found worry-free and appreciated.

The last one who made him feel capable was... Gin recalled that face he hated, and his expression immediately darkened. Damn rat.

Vodka had no idea what Gin was thinking. Looking in the rearview mirror, he saw Gin's gloomy face and swallowed hard. But thinking that if Duago came back sooner, having him in front of his brother to annoy him... no, to distract his brother, would make driving much easier, Vodka silently revved his engine.

"Well, this time Duago not only kept the organization's secrets, but he also ran away on his own. I think he's quite similar to Kiel back then."

Gin reached into his coat for a cigarette, but paused for a moment when he pulled out a round candy from his pocket. He then put the candy back in his pocket and took out the cigarette from the other side.

“Kiel…” Gin lit a cigarette and squinted. Vodka nodded. “Yes. I heard that four years ago she went to capture that undercover agent but was tortured instead. However, she didn’t say a word and even bit off the other person’s wrist and killed him.”

Gin naturally knew about this, and it was because of this that the higher-ups valued Gil. The organization had been searching for that undercover agent, but in the end, Gil caught him.

No, it wasn't really her who caught him. She and the undercover agent happened to be on a mission together, and the undercover agent tried to use the opportunity to pass a message, but Gil discovered it.

"Duyago also said that if he happened to have something like a recording pen on him, there probably wouldn't be any need for verification now."

Vodka's words lingered in Gin's ears, and the seed of suspicion he had harbored four years ago began to stir once more. Indeed, he was the one who had apprehended the undercover agent four years ago.

At that time, he had wondered why the undercover agent happened to have a recorder and recorded the interrogation.

But perhaps the undercover agent carried this kind of thing so he could record some so-called evidence at any time? Gin thought, he hadn't found any evidence that Gil was guilty at the time.

So he tacitly admitted that the undercover agent had been caught.

"What if there are more than just those two undercover agents?"

Vodka was taken aback, glancing at Gin's face in the rearview mirror: "Huh? Bro, what did you say?"

"What if the undercover agents from four years ago weren't just those two? What was the other exposed undercover agent called again?" Gin narrowed his eyes, a chilling murderous intent flashing in them.

Vodka thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be... Bentang."

"Go and investigate, go and investigate this hall again."

Rena Mizunashi received more photos, this time only three, but this time it terrified her even more than before, because there was a photo of her father in them.

"It seems I must meet with that child."

The dividing line for crawling???

Before Mizunashi Rena could come up with a solution, she unexpectedly met Hondou Eisuke.

The bus stopped at the parking lot of the Nichiri TV station, and many students wearing Teitan High School uniforms got off one after another.

Today is the open day of Yomiuri TV, and since Teitan High School was going to conduct a research visit, we chose to visit Yomiuri TV.

After all the students got off the bus, Amamiya Namiko, dressed casually in flat shoes, was the last to get off.

Because the homeroom teacher of Class 2B was sick yesterday, the school called Jiang Jin to ask if he could temporarily fill in. Hearing that it was for the Nichiuri TV station, Jiang Jin agreed.

"Hello everyone, teachers and students. I'm Onoshi, the head of the news department at Nichiuri TV." Onoshi, wearing a navy blue suit, adjusted his glasses and spotted Sonoko, Hondo Eisuke, and Jiang Jin standing at the back of the crowd in Teitan High School uniforms. "Please follow me inside."

Ono glanced around but didn't see Conan. He thought to himself, "Wow, there are a lot of people here. Since Conan isn't here, they probably won't be filming an episode here, right?"

"Hello everyone, this is our newspaper club," Onoshi introduced as he walked, just as Rena Mizunashi and Akemi Miyano walked towards them. Many students recognized Rena Mizunashi and greeted him, while Eisuke Hondou was among them, silently watching her.

When he finally saw her in person, Hondo Eisuke felt that sense of familiarity even more strongly. This woman looked so much like her sister!

When Mizunashi Rena saw Hondo Eisuke, her heart skipped a beat. She could only try her best to maintain a calm and unfamiliar expression, and smiled as she responded to the greetings.

Jiang Jin stood at the back, also observing Mizunashi Rena. He was certain that Kir was about to jump into the trap he had prepared; all he needed was a little more stimulation.

He couldn't do it himself, but Vodka had already relayed the message to Gin. Gin would conduct the probing, while Jiang Jin only cared about the final result.

He needs to obtain the evidence that Hondou Hidemi and Gil are the same person, and that she is a CIA undercover agent. Just as Gil gained the trust of his superiors, he will use Gil as a raft to gain that trust in return.
