Chapter 543

Since it was supposed to be a meeting, and the case involved too many people, Mori and his group definitely couldn't stay any longer and had to take their leave.

Hanchuan Shenliu also wanted to leave.

Inspector Megure held him tightly: "Kanakawa-kun..."

"Sorry," Hanchuan Shenliu said coldly, "It's break time now."

Kenji Hagiwara coughed and began to lie through his teeth: "Shinryu is also quite tired. He didn't even want to come to the celebration party in the first place! Now it's time for him to recharge. Let him go back and rest."

Matsuda Jinpei: "...?"

What's tiring about him? He's driving back and forth, picking people up and dropping them off, why doesn't anyone say he's tired as the driver?

Inspector Megure knew he couldn't rely too much on Shinryu Samakawa, and sighed as he watched him leave.

Although Matsuda Jinpei did not attend the First Investigation Division's meetings, he could not go straight home and had to go to work at the Metropolitan Police Department, so he had to say goodbye to Samikawa Shinryu at the door.

Do you need me to call you a taxi?

Matsuda Jinpei has realized that once a person starts worrying, they'll never have enough to worry about...

His colleagues all say that his temper has improved over the years.

Anyone who spends a lot of time with Han Chuan Shenliu will have a better temper, because if you're not a big-hearted person, you'll either be scared to death or driven to death by anger.

Han Chuan Shenliu shook his head: "No need."

The bomb expert is nearby. He said he was coming when he called, so he can just walk over and meet him.

Conan Edogawa, who always enjoys solving cases, is now faced with this mystery, and his mind is no longer on returning to the Mouri Detective Agency.

So Ran called out to Conan Edogawa to follow them. When they were heading to the parking lot, Conan shouted, "Ran-neechan, I have other things to do. I'm going to Professor Agasa's house today, so don't wait for me." Then he ran off, following Shinryu Samikawa out the door.

Hankawa Shinryu glanced at Edogawa Conan but said nothing.

Because part of the route was along the same path, Conan Edogawa obediently followed Shinryu Sakkawa.

Because the FBI's previous investigation into Shinryu Samikawa uncovered many problems, Conan Edogawa's attitude towards Shinryu Samikawa is now very complicated; he feels that Shinryu is reliable, but he also feels that he cannot be trusted too much.

Despite having a bellyful of questions, he couldn't directly ask the person involved. He wanted to deduce things, but Hanakawa Shinryu was acting mysteriously, and there weren't enough clues. He didn't dare use his usual tricks like eavesdropping and stalking on Hanakawa Shinryu, feeling that he would be caught red-handed...

It's not that they had no ideas at all. For example, Conan Edogawa felt that the more he looked at Shinryu Samakawa, the more he resembled a rebellious yakuza prince who ran away from home.

If those files are all fake, such a perfect background cannot be fabricated by any force.

The mere fact that the organization supposedly had contact with Kankawa Shinryu since their police academy days, and that Kankawa Shinryu has refused for so many years and is still alive, is already quite thought-provoking.

However, even if Hanchuan Shenliu has a deep relationship with the Black Organization, we cannot judge his stance based on that. After all, Hanchuan Shenliu may have left home because he couldn't stand the Black Organization's actions. When he was a policeman, he was a real policeman. Even after resigning, he didn't do anything illegal. Instead, he used his charisma to set traps... He seems to be a bit like someone who remains untainted by the mud.

Conan Edogawa felt that this situation was somewhat familiar.

Their stance is unclear, they're shrouded in mystery, and no background can be found through investigation...

Conan Edogawa pondered for a moment and then remembered—wasn't this similar to what happened to Mr. Amuro back then?

At first, he was wary of Mr. Amuro because he was Bourbon, but Mr. Amuro's actions didn't seem like those of a purely bad person, so he became a little suspicious. Later, what Brother Bo Ye said made his guess even bolder, and in the end, it was proven that Mr. Amuro was indeed one of his own.

I really wish Mr. Hanchuan was one of us!

Conan Edogawa, preoccupied with his own thoughts, followed Shinryu Suzumiya halfway there, but then realized they weren't going the same way anymore, so he decided to part ways.

He politely looked up, intending to say goodbye: "Han... uh!"

A loud thud, like something very heavy suddenly falling to the ground, was heard, and Conan Edogawa's expression changed instantly.

"I'll go take a look!"

Han Chuan Shenliu followed him silently into the alley.

Conan Edogawa walked to the exit of the alley, saw what was happening outside, and immediately stopped.

It was a blond foreigner! Judging from the bloodstains under his head, it looked like he had been pushed from a height...

He immediately recalled the case mentioned at the banquet earlier. Could this also be an FBI case?!

In Japan, for someone to be so brazen as to specifically target and kill FBI agents... if they're not insane, they absolutely have organized support behind them... could it be...?

"Don't move."

A cold voice came from behind Conan Edogawa, and a hand pressed down on his shoulder.

Conan Edogawa, preoccupied with thoughts of the organization, was initially startled by the voice before realizing, a beat later, that it was Shinryu Samikawa's voice.

But it sounds colder than usual...

Hanchuan Shenliu said calmly, "There's a sniper."

Conan Edogawa: "...!!!"

He quickly adjusted his multi-functional glasses and looked up at the building across the street.

To his astonishment, he spotted a familiar face – Vodka!

As expected! The mastermind behind this series of FBI deaths is the Black Organization!

The Black Organization is too arrogant! They're massacring FBI agents! Six or seven of them are dead already!

...This would be understandable if it happened in the US, but it's amazing they managed to find so many FBI agents in Japan...

Conan Edogawa's train of thought accidentally veered off course, and after some reflection, he realized that he might have been influenced by Usoppon-san, and at that moment he couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.

The next second, Conan Edogawa felt Shinryu Saikawa withdraw his hand and even take two steps back.

Conan Edogawa: "...?"

He turned to look at Hanchuan Shenliu, who said naturally, "I don't want to see these people; it feels like it would be troublesome."

"...Mr. Hanchuan, do you know them?"

"know."

Conan Edogawa: "…………"

No! Is he really that honest?! Doesn't he think too badly of Mr. Hanchuan?!

Conan Edogawa wanted to ask something more, but Shinryu Samikawa didn't give him the chance.

"The fact that they were able to locate the FBI so precisely in Japan suggests that they have cracked the communication methods between the FBIs. There might be clues on the body in front of us, and we need to find them before they take it away."

Conan Edogawa's train of thought was instantly pulled back to the main topic, and he immediately said, "Okay, I understand!"

Taking advantage of being a child, and with passersby starting to approach, Conan Edogawa, not wanting to be too brazen, put on his hood to cover his face, got closer to the corpse, and began to search it.

Sure enough, Gin upstairs saw someone approaching the corpse, sneered, and was about to order Chianti to kill Conan Edogawa as well.

But Rena Mizunashi was also on this mission. She wasn't upstairs; instead, she was hiding nearby. When she saw Conan Edogawa's face clearly, she knew she had to protect him, so she quickly said, "Wait, more people are coming. This time there are three. I can hear the police sirens... It's too late. Let's go first and forget about the bodies."

Vodka said on the radio, "But we haven't taken his identification yet."

Gin sneered: "These FBI agents are investigating us everywhere without Japan's permission. If the organization's affairs are made public, it will be a big deal. They won't want to make a big fuss... Let's retreat."

"clear!"

The group then retreated and returned to their respective cars.

Before the channel was closed, Gin suddenly heard Chianti say, "Ah, Cohen, look what Potts posted in the group chat, he was in that area just now."

Gin was about to turn off the channel, but upon hearing this, he immediately sensed something was wrong: "What group?"

Chianti then remembered that Gin could hear her: "It's nothing."

"Answer, or you'll be treated as a traitor." Gin lowered his voice. "We're still on a mission, there can't be any accidents. Answer whatever they ask!"

Vodka hesitated, then finally said, "Brother, I don't think Potts can say anything good... cough cough, he can't say anything useful, after all, he doesn't know anything... it's okay if we don't listen..."

Gin insisted on it.

Chianti rolled her eyes: "Fine, fine, if you insist on listening... This group is used by Potts to badmouth Gin, but don't try to cause trouble. Potts's group announcement says he's prejudiced against you, he just says it to make him feel better, so don't believe him..."

Gin: "...???"

Still playing the disclaimer game?!

He's said bad things, ruined his reputation, and then pretends to tell people not to be prejudiced... Words left a mark on people's hearts. Potts is too vicious!

Gin gritted his teeth and continued, "He said he was there, what else did he say?"

"You're the one who told me to say that!"

Chianti first absolved himself of responsibility before saying, "He said he was passing by, saw Kiel and Vodka, knew Gin was upstairs, and then..."

"Say it all at once!" Gin urged impatiently.

"He said, why didn't they take away all the documents before letting someone fall? Is Gin deliberately trying to leak the mission details... Is Gin an undercover agent?"

Gin: "…………"

Vodka: "...That guy jumped too fast, we couldn't stop him!"

Chianti said, "Potnis also said that he knew people would go to the top floor, so why didn't he arrange for snipers to shoot them down as soon as they popped up? Gin shouldn't have been so stupid as not to think of this. He must have deliberately let someone fall to attract the attention of passersby."

Gin: "…………"

Vodka: "...Brother, I told you not to ask! Potts can't say anything good! He's completely useless! He just frames me!"

Rena Mizunashi was already fed up with Gin's constant scrutiny and suspicion. Now that she had a chance, she immediately said in a low voice, "Yeah, you've already arranged for Chianti and Cohen to be snipers, why don't you order them to shoot the moment they show their faces? Gin, you still say you're not an undercover agent?"

Vodka: "Kiel, you shut up too..."

At the same time, Hanchuan Shenliu put away his phone, walked to Edogawa Conan's side, and glanced at the photos that Edogawa Conan had taken of the deceased's phone.

"Looks like the FBI's code has been cracked." He took a picture too, then edited the email, "Okay, what happens next is not your business, let's go."

Conan Edogawa stared at Shinryu Kagawa's fingers: "...Mr. Kagawa, who are you sending the photo to?"
