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

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

"Armed personnel! Are you sure?" In the First Investigation Division's office, Inspector Megure looked at Matsuda Jinpei and the other two with an unusually serious expression. "If that's the case, I must report to Superintendent Matsumoto immediately and then begin an investigation right away."

Matsuda Jinpei, Sato, and Takagi walked out of Inspector Megure's office, still pondering Jiang Jin's words and the relationship between them and the Sakurai Foundation. Matsuda Jinpei didn't entirely believe it, but he was certain that the Inoue Saburo case wouldn't have been closed so hastily if there hadn't been obstacles behind it.

"Officer Matsuda, are you hiding something from us?" Sato Miwako had felt from the beginning that Matsuda Jinpei was acting strangely, but she had no evidence, it was probably just a gut feeling.

Upon hearing Sato Miwako's words, Takagi also turned her gaze to Matsuda Jinpei. Matsuda Jinpei glanced around at his busy colleagues in the First Investigation Division, thought for a moment, and then pulled the two of them into a small, empty conference room.

"You two must have noticed something fishy about Inoue Saburo's case, right?" Matsuda Jinpei said to the two men after closing the door. "Actually, I only made one other discovery, and I was originally planning to investigate it by myself."

Upon hearing this, Miwako Sato narrowed her eyes: "What? You actually wanted to investigate us behind our backs!"

"Uh...it's just that it's more convenient for one person, since the higher-ups have already forbidden us from investigating further." Matsuda Jinpei's words left Sato Miwako feeling somewhat deflated. "The higher-ups are really..."

Takagi nudged Sato Miwako, signaling her to be careful what she said.

"So what did you find?" Sato Miwako pursed her lips and then asked Matsuda Jinpei.

“One of my informants gave me information that Saburo Inoue is one of the treasurers of the Sakurai Group, and that he has been laundering money for the Sakurai Group.”

After Matsuda Jinpei finished speaking, Takagi couldn't help but exclaim, "Money laundering!" He immediately shut his mouth, glanced at the closed conference room door, and lowered his voice, saying, "If that's the case, could Inoue Saburo's case be because of..."

"Someone killed him to cover it up?" Sato Miwako continued. "These past few days, the TV has been full of news about the power struggle within the Sakurai Group. If Inoue Saburo is really connected to the Sakurai Group, then all the suspicious things about him can be explained."

“That’s what I think too.” Matsuda Jinpei nodded. “The reason the higher-ups suddenly halted the investigation is probably because they’re worried that our police might find out about their money laundering activities, which could lead to a scandal involving the conglomerate. The heirs might not only lose their inheritance but also end up in jail.”

Despite her assumption, Sato Miwako cautiously asked him, "But Matsuda, is your informant's information reliable?"

After all, once this kind of news breaks and becomes known to the public, the Sakurai Group will inevitably suffer a blow from public opinion. Their companies and products will be affected, which is extremely dangerous for a group that is currently undergoing a change in leadership.

Touching a tiger's whiskers is obviously extremely dangerous. Since they dare to hunt down others, there's no guarantee that this situation won't happen to them.

Mentioning Amamiya Jinpei gave Matsuda Jinpei a headache. Because from beginning to end, he knew almost nothing about this self-proclaimed assassin; all he knew was what the man had told him.

The other party was clearly intentionally concealing their identity, which was understandable. Matsuda Jinpei guessed that the other party was definitely not just an ordinary assassin, and as for the Sakurai Group, Matsuda Jinpei felt that the other party had no reason to lie to him.

Because aside from his identity as a police officer, he had nothing of value that Jiang Jin would bother to deceive. Unless the other party wanted to do something through him as a police officer.

"The person those four armed men were chasing was actually my informant." Matsuda Jinpei neither denied nor confirmed, but instead brought up another topic. Sato Miwako, upon hearing this, picked up the conversation herself, "So those four men were Sakurai's henchmen? In that case, the information is indeed reliable."

This was the speculation Matsuda Jinpei wanted to make. He continued, "If we investigate in this direction now, we should make new discoveries. Previously, we only investigated the relationships surrounding Inoue Saburo, but this time we will focus our main attention on him. However, we still need to proceed with caution in private when investigating Inoue's affairs."

On the other side, not long after Matsuda Jinpei left, someone rang the doorbell.

Jiang Jin walked to the door, one hand on the handle and the other behind his back: "Who is it?"

"Oh, there's a package for you. Please sign for it."

Jiang Jin looked out through the peephole and saw that it was indeed a person dressed as a deliveryman. He pressed the doorknob and opened the door.

The deliveryman outside the door handed Jiang Jin a box and gave him a simple smile: "Hello, your package."

Jiang Jin glanced at the box, took the pen from the deliveryman, signed his name, and then took the box back with his other hand. His movements were swift; the deliveryman didn't notice that his hand was holding a butterfly knife underneath the box.

Thank you, and I wish you a pleasant life!

The door closed, and Jiang Jin turned around and walked into the house while using the butterfly knife in his hand to cut open the package and take out a mobile phone.

"Ah Ling's efficiency is really high." Jiang Jin said, inserting the SIM card that came with the phone into the phone and turning it on. People like them don't store anyone's phone number in their phones; they have to memorize them all.

Even text messages are deleted immediately after being read, to avoid leaving too much information that could be investigated if the phone is lost.

Jiang Jin held his new phone and skillfully dialed a number, which was quickly answered.

"Ah Ling is very efficient. No wonder that gentleman values ​​you so much."

On the other end of the phone, Rei Furuya coldly replied, "Did you call just to talk nonsense to me?"

Jiang Jin leaned back on the sofa and said lazily, "I was just praising you. Did you report my situation to your superiors?"

“As I’ve already said, that gentleman is very dissatisfied with the Sakurai Group’s actions. But as you know, Sakurai is currently embroiled in internal strife. It’s likely that our partner has been set up, and the organization has been used as a pawn in their infighting.” Furuya Rei’s voice carried a hint of mockery. “I suspect it was the eldest son of the Sakurai Group who did it, trying to sabotage things and make his brother lose us as a partner. He’s both stupid and wicked. Didn’t he consider that even if he takes over, what good will come of offending the organization? Does he really think we can’t find out who did it?”

As Furuya Rei spoke, his tone turned sinister.

"The higher-ups originally didn't want to get involved in the Sakurai Group's affairs, but they made a foolish mistake, so they can't blame anyone else. In the end, they are still rising stars, and compared to families like Suzuki, Uzumasa, and Ooka, they really don't have the same vision."

When Jiang Jin heard Jiang Gu Ling mention the Taiqin Consortium, he rolled his eyes and tentatively asked, "Does the higher-ups have any plans to contact these consortia?"

"They are all long-established Japanese conglomerates, and they are indeed financially powerful. However, what the organization values ​​more than just money is their ability to provide research and development and biopharmaceutical services. Suzuki and Ooka are not involved in these fields, and the organization does not intend to contact them for the time being."

However… the Taiqin Consortium has a new head this year—Taiqin Gongyue, the eldest son of the Taiqin family. Since he took over, the Taiqin Consortium seems interested in developing projects in these areas. However, the organization is still investigating Taiqin Gongyue; knowing the enemy and yourself is crucial for better cooperation. Why are you suddenly interested in this?”

After finishing speaking, Furuya Rei immediately asked suspiciously.

"Just asking. I'm more concerned about the Sakurai Group." Jiang Jin glanced at his wound as he spoke. "They ambushed me and injured me. I'm definitely going to settle this score. So what's the higher-ups' attitude?"

Rei Furuya replied, "There are no clear instructions yet. I know you're unhappy, but I'm warning you not to do anything underhanded. If you mess things up for the organization, even Gin can't save you."

"Don't worry, I'm just a wounded soldier right now. I'll take good care of myself and wait for orders from the organization," Jiang Jin readily agreed.

When Furuya Rei heard Jiang Jin mention recuperating from his injuries, his tone changed: "It doesn't seem appropriate for you to recuperate in a policeman's house, does it?"

Jiang Jin shifted into a more comfortable position and lay down: "As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. For people like us, a policeman's house is the most dangerous place. If I recuperate at his house, who would dare to come knocking?"

“If you recuperate here, they won’t dare to come knocking on your door,” Furuya Rei said disapprovingly.

Jiang Jin knew that what Furuya Rei said was true. If he hadn't met Matsuda Jinpei that night, he probably would have crawled all the way to Furuya Rei's house.

He had indeed planned to leave, but Conan's appearance made Jiang Jin change his mind. This meddlesome elementary school student will definitely keep thinking about this afterward.

He hid behind Matsuda Jinpei, leading Conan to investigate. The Sakurai Group didn't care who was investigating them; these conglomerates only cared about profit. Anyone who got in their way was doomed!

"You wouldn't be thinking of using Matsuda for something, would you?" Furuya Rei thought that even if Jiang Jin was injured, this venomous snake wouldn't behave. "I just warned you that the orders from above haven't come down yet."

"Don't be so harsh. Don't worry, I'm very obedient and will definitely follow the organization's orders!"
