Silence is Cambridge tonight.

The system remained silent for a long time, then a burst of intense mouse clicks and keyboard clattering could be heard.

"What are you doing?" Akihara Kazumitsu asked curiously.

"One of my system predecessors started his own business after retiring. I'm supporting his business," the system's emotionless electronic voice sounded. "His predecessor's previous host was an insurance salesman for a life insurance company in a certain country. After retiring, he decided to launch a system-based personal accident insurance product, modeled after that company's profit model."

Immediately, Akihara Kazumitsu's eyes lit up (in a physical sense), and the system pushed the webpage in front of him.

"Claim coverage: Host owners who exhibit obvious suicidal tendencies, maliciously neglect their duties, or frequently engage in reckless behavior. Please provide written materials, video recordings of the incident, or legally valid audio recordings..."

"Alright." Akihara Kazumitsu shoved aside the transparent screen floating in front of him. "Don't you think it's too late for you to take out insurance now? I'm going to sue you for insurance fraud."

"You, you!" The system was so angry at him for accusing it of being the villain that it almost cried. This guy is inhuman at times!

Ignoring the whining system, Akihara Kazumitsu politely thanked the waiter who brought him the coffee, took a small sip, and looked out the window.

Gin's meeting place, Shinjuku, is a special ward in Tokyo and one of Japan's most bustling and vibrant districts. It is renowned for its unique cultural atmosphere, shopping centers, entertainment venues, and food streets. "The City That Never Sleeps" and "The City of Depravity" are among Shinjuku's "honorary" titles. It is home to the internationally famous Kabukicho red-light district, and boasts bars, clubs, hotels, and other entertainment venues of various sizes and styles (Note).

Although it doesn't quite fit the Black Organization's dark and shady image (System: What kind of image does the organization have in your mind?), considering that Gin might just be passing by and this is just a mission for him, it's not unreasonable.

"But this is an important mission to obtain a code name. You can't possibly get away with it by having a face that's completely different from Yazui Masahiko's, right? →_→" It seemed that the system calmed down much faster this time in order to tease him.

Looking at the time, there were still more than ten minutes until the agreed time of nine o'clock. It was still early, so Akihara Kazuhiko patiently explained to the system, "When I reviewed Yazui Masahiko's memories, didn't you watch them too? Of all the missions he completed, the most he did was kill to cover up his tracks. He didn't conduct any investigations before obtaining a codename, he never got involved in any of the organization's secrets, and the only codenamed member he knew was Gin, and even then, it was just a one-sided acquaintance, having only seen him from afar."

Akihara paused, then took another sip of coffee. The bitter taste stimulated his taste buds, and he somewhat missed the sanity potion developed by Rhodes Island, whose ingredients included mustard extract and sugars, instantly refreshing him. Caffeine and regular energy drinks were no longer enough to energize his body, but fortunately, Akihara and Hikaru's bodies hadn't developed any tolerance.

“You’re not on my mind 24/7, are you?”

"Huh?" The system seemed a little confused by this unexpected question. "Yes, yes, but what does this have to do with the question we just had?"

“I browsed the police intranet a few days ago, and it seems you weren’t there. Masahiko Yazui’s face and one of his many aliases are listed there. Someone probably saw his face during some mission.”

"The organization will not allow a killer with no redeeming qualities other than ruthlessness to become a core member, especially since this face is wanted by the police. High risk, low reward, the organization will not do such a losing deal."

"Then why did the organization promise him that he could become a codenamed member after completing this mission?"

"The logic is simple: the dead don't offer opinions."

"...So, this mission was used by the organization to kill and cover up the crime?!"

"Bingo! You got it right, but there's no reward." Akihara Kazumitsu lowered his head and drank his coffee again.

"...Then why did you come looking for Gin?! (ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻ And you still say you didn't come here to die! And you won't let me buy insurance!"

"Relax. Since we chose to meet on such a busy street, the chances of him shooting me in the street are extremely slim."

“Remember what I just said? There are two reasons why an organization would kill someone to cover it up: one, the person isn’t very useful; two, the person is wanted by the police. As long as I demonstrate the corresponding value, and…” Akihara Kazumitsu suddenly stopped there. A black Porsche slowly pulled up to a stop on the side of the street.

Akihara finished the last sip of coffee, dabbed his lips with a napkin, and left a tip for the waiter. He slowly straightened his clothes, adjusted his expression, and then walked out the door.

Approaching the black vintage car, Akihara glanced at the license plate out of the corner of his eye: Shinjuku 54mi43-68. He mentally corrected some of his guesses about meeting here—it might not be a mission stop along the way; Gin's main area of ​​activity was Shinjuku. Frankly, Gin and Vodka mostly appeared in cars, and the Doctor was genuinely worried about their backs, necks, and hemorrhoids!

System: Are you digesting the Provocateur Potion?

He stepped forward, glanced around symbolically, then bent down and knocked on the Porsche's window. The window slowly rolled down, revealing a man inside wearing a black trench coat and a black top hat, with long, flowing silver hair. His eyes were cold and sharp, his physique imposing, his appearance imposing, and his shoulders like double-door refrigerators. His eyes shone like cold stars, and his eyebrows were as dark as if painted with lacquer; he was like a demon lord descended from heaven, a true god of war on earth.

System: Stop making memes now!

Akihara: Only by retaining some Arknights references can you know that this is a crossover fanfiction of Arknights and Conan.

Looking at the driver's seat inside, Vodka, who looks like a silly turtle, is sitting there, as expected.

System: Hey, why are you being so perfunctory here? Volt is crying!

"Big Brother!" Akihara Kazumitsu looked at Gin in front of him, as if he could see a huge pile of points beckoning to him. This was the first major main character he had encountered. His voice, calling him "Big Brother," became even more sincere. "Big Brother, who are we going to kill today?"

Gin gave Akihara a cold glance. "You're Yazui Masahiko?"

"Yes, brother!"

"Idiot, stop yelling so loudly!" the simple-minded turtle scolded. "Do you want to attract everyone's attention on the street?!"

System: (Sa Beining inhaling oxygen.jpg) I knew you were really rude.

"Get in the car," Gin said succinctly, withdrawing his gaze.

"Alright!" Gin's Porsche, Dr. Agasa's Beetle, the Suzuki Foundation's airship, the plane carrying Conan, and the train where Kid cosplayed as Shiho Miyano are all famous landmarks that Akihara Kazumitsu wants to visit.

The system stared dumbfounded as Qiu Yuan excitedly opened the car door and got in, muttering to itself, "Are they all face-blind or do they never look at photos before a mission? How did you pass?"

Akihara chuckled in his mind, replying, "Gin can't remember faces. He recognizes people only by their hairstyles. Who knows, after a thousand episodes, he might not even remember what their biggest enemy, Shinichi Kudo, looks like, and he'll only be able to remember thanks to Vodka's reminder. I didn't expect Vodka to not look at Masahiko Yazui's picture. Maybe he thought I would definitely die in the next mission, so he was careless? But if I'm going to infiltrate the organization, someone will investigate sooner or later."

The system perked up. "So, host, you had a plan all along. Wait, but why didn't I see any plan you'd considered in your mind..."

Akihara blinked; at this moment, all he had to do was smile.

Note: The description of Shinjuku Ward comes from Baidu. It is worth mentioning that the Baidu entry emphasizes that "it is not only a heterosexual area, but also a famous gay community in Asia, especially in Nichome." It also states that most related clubs are not open to the public and operate on a membership basis.

Hmm, perhaps some useful knowledge has been gained.
