Chapter 199 Chessboard and Loot

Day 12 of the Highway Survival Game!

The organization's research institute conducts illegal and taboo research, and the weapons it carries are also part of illegal arms dealing. Regardless of which law enforcement agency in the United States the father contacts, it is all legal law enforcement.

To completely destroy the research data on this drug, the father would inevitably have to review the contents of the data to confirm whether the target was correct. With his photographic memory, once he had seen the data, it was as if it had been engraved in his mind.

My father's friends only knew that he had a good memory. Apart from his family, the only other people who knew he could remember things at a glance were his direct superiors in the British government. But given the intelligence-gathering capabilities of the United States, this was probably no secret.

The research and sales of the Silver Bullet will be conducted by top pharmaceutical companies in the United States and Japan, using the name that only her father would use today—Silver Bullet. As for Ai Haibara, after faking her death, she moved to the Kudo family home to be closer to protect her.

Shuichi Akai never overheard the other party referring to APTX4869 as "silver bullet." She always spoke of APTX4869 in a calm and rational tone, while Conan never referred to it as APTX4869, always referring to it as "that drug."

When they were exchanging information about APTX4869 with Professor Agasa, Professor Agasa mentioned several times that he had met his uncle, Dr. Miyano, at a scientists' exchange meeting, and that the scientists he knew all called Dr. Miyano a mad scientist.

His research was considered to have ventured into forbidden territory, a taboo subject that humans should not touch. Even twenty years later, inventors like Dr. Agasa, who did not conduct drug research but focused more on inventing various devices, still remembered Dr. Miyano's research.

It is conceivable that the uncle and aunt did not hide their research project at all in Japan at that time; at least in the Japanese medical community, this research trend was transparent.

The relationship between the United States and Japan, both then and now, can be described as one of a hegemonic power under a powerful nation, and a forcibly subjugated vassal state. Given Japan's history, the United States certainly doesn't trust Japan's integrity and worries that Japan might betray the United States.

They must have planted a lot of spies in Japan. Wasn't Kir's father recruited by the organization earlier than Dr. Miyano and returned to Japan to become a CIA spy stationed in Japan?

Information that could be investigated by Kiel's father and his colleagues indicated that even more secretive U.S. agencies such as the CAI had long known about the organization's existence. Kiel's father had settled in Japan, married, and had children.

He lived as a seemingly normal Japanese man for so many years, just waiting for the opportunity to infiltrate the organization. When the United States initially arranged for him to return to Japan to infiltrate the organization, was it because they already planned for him to infiltrate the organization?

She got married in Japan 27 years ago, and then secretly investigated and waited for the opportunity to infiltrate the organization. That was even earlier than when Dr. Miyano and his wife joined the organization, right? Back then, there was no APTX4869, and the United States had such a huge intelligence network and firepower.

It's also suspicious that the Miyano couple didn't eliminate the organization until seven years ago, before they joined. Could it be that the organization had something that those people in the top financial circles of the United States coveted back then?

Regardless of whether they existed at the time, there were spies infiltrating various industries to monitor all sectors of Japanese society, and Dr. Miyano and his wife were so active in promoting their research and seeking funders in the Japanese scientific community.

It's certainly no secret within the vast intelligence network of the United States. Just think about how American capitalists, in their pursuit of longevity, secretly cultivate forces that can provide them with access to young organs or carry out other illegal activities for them.

APTX4869's ability to reverse aging—even if it didn't have that effect 20 years ago—was enough to impress top capitalists worldwide with its ability to freeze Vermouth's age.

.

Therefore, if the finished product of APTX4869 is sold in the future under the name "Silver Bullet", Shuichi Akai believes that those two pharmaceutical companies, or rather the big capitalists and people with official backgrounds behind those two pharmaceutical companies, must be related to his father.

Perhaps he had come into contact with them and learned the name 'Silver Bullet' from his father, but it is more likely that he believed the forces behind those two pharmaceutical companies already knew that the organization had made some progress in Dr. Miyano's research project.

However, they failed to succeed for some reason, or perhaps because APTX4869 still had hidden dangers, unlike the future which did not pose an immediate threat of death. They were actually researching APTX4869, but their progress was not as good as the organization's.

If that's the case, his long-standing question seems to have been answered. Judy's father had clearly obtained enough evidence to bring down the organization. Normally, the next step should be a desperate firefight between US law enforcement and the organization.

However, in reality, when submitting evidence to the court and applying for a full arrest warrant, an unexpected blunder occurred on the part of the US high command, resulting in Judy's father, mother, and partner being silenced by the organization, with only she managing to escape.

According to his own investigation afterward, aside from how the organization discovered his undercover work, there were serious problems with the way the Japanese Public Security Bureau rescued him. He had already done everything he could to give him the opportunity to be rescued by the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

However, from the time he was exposed until he was finally urged by the commander in charge of the manhunt and had no choice but to catch up with Scotland, the Japanese Public Security Bureau's rescue of Scotland was quite ineffective, ultimately driving Scotland to the brink of despair.

If it weren't for the help of the time traveler from the future, it might have truly been a desperate situation. Now, with the Japanese government supporting top Japanese pharmaceutical companies that will be two major shareholders of 'Silver Bullet' in the future, recalling this incident makes it seem that the Japanese Public Security Bureau's lackluster rescue efforts were no coincidence.

However, he was not qualified to judge the Scottish incident. In fact, he made a foolish mistake not long after. Shortly after the Scottish incident, with his powerful sniper gone, he was given even more important responsibilities.

He had access to more organizational intelligence, and he thought that by proceeding gradually, he could uncover the truth about the organization and completely destroy it. However, the FBI received news that he had finally achieved a position comparable to that of Rum, the organization's second-in-command.

After meeting with Gin, who is suspected to be the third-in-command of the organization, and learning that they would be carrying out a mission together, she actually came up with the incredibly stupid plan to arrest Gin on the spot.

At the time, even though Shuichi Akai had never met Gin in person, he was able to roughly deduce Gin's personality simply by gathering information about him from his interactions with other members of the organization.

That person is definitely not someone to be trifled with. He is cold-blooded, ruthless, and meticulous. No flaw can escape his eyes. Most importantly, the organization's boss seems to never doubt his loyalty.

Gin is known for killing members of any rank and then reporting it to the organization. He has never been held accountable by the organization's boss, not even receiving a mild reprimand. Even Rum, who was in the organization, had heard that he had been reprimanded by the organization's boss.

Both his personality and the organization's boss's absolute trust in him indicate that even if the FBI successfully captures Gin, it will be difficult to obtain any information from him. He may even refuse to be captured and choose death when pushed to the brink.

Even if the FBI is fully prepared and makes it impossible for Gin to die, what can they gain by capturing him? As long as they can't get Gin to talk, they still won't be able to obtain information about the organization's boss.

On the contrary, once Gin goes missing, the organization will definitely realize that something is wrong with them. Given the organization's style, they will only try to erase all traces of themselves and Gin within the United States as quickly as possible...

.

If he could deduce all this, how could the FBI, equipped with professional agents such as psychologists, not have been able to? But the events at the time were quite ridiculous; he clearly voiced his objections.

This suggests that arresting him at this point would be counterproductive to the organization's undercover investigation. It would be more prudent to wait until he finds an opportunity to meet the organization's boss in person and confirm his identity before taking action.

However, James argued that it was an order from above, and given his position in the FBI, he could not refuse. He also said that he had raised similar concerns and objections, but still could not stop the order from being issued.

The result was that his five years of undercover work came to nothing, and the operation ended in complete failure. At the time, he felt unlucky to have encountered such a high-ranking officer who was completely incompetent and gave him bad orders, which caused his operation to regress several steps.

But if you combine these things with the information provided by your father’s experience and future messages, the most logical conclusion is that your father, Scotland, Judy, and yourself were all being used.

Those who are truly hiding behind the scenes and playing chess with the organization's BOSS do not want their pawns to destroy the chessboard and win spoils from the organization's BOSS. Therefore, any pawn capable of destroying the chessboard or getting close to the core of the chessboard will be discarded by them.

And his father, perhaps because of his photographic memory, became a prize coveted by the behind-the-scenes forces of the United States and Japan when he was destroying the research data on the 'Silver Bullet'—a living hard drive loaded with the research data on the 'Silver Bullet'.

Furthermore, considering that Ai Haibara was born in December, and that the Miyano couple died shortly after her birth, and that a month before that, in November in the United States, Jodie's parents were murdered by the organization, etc.

So the truth is likely that the organization had something that those behind the scenes coveted long before Gil's father, Ethan Hondo, infiltrated Japan. This thing had probably lost its value to those behind the scenes by about 20 years ago.

That's why Judy's father and his partner went undercover 20 years ago, and they weren't as unlucky as Judy and Scotland. At least they had investigated devastating evidence against the organization and had most likely confirmed the identity of the organization's boss.
