Seven years ago, timeline.
Fujiwara Yu was diligently searching for the Child of Destiny named "Edogawa Conan," believing that only by finding him could he gain permanent residency in...
With media, there is no need to worry about not being able to monitor people because you can't see them.
After getting off the car, Fujiwara Yu pretended to be passing by and gently touched the dark blue Citroen CX20. With the help of a medium, he could naturally hear whether Morobushi Kagemitsu, who was in the convenience store, was exchanging information with the staff inside.
He walked towards the beverage store ten meters away, making sure he was within eavesdropping range, and calmly placed his order with the beverage clerk. Eavesdropping in this contactless manner was indeed very convenient, and there was no need to worry about being discovered.
——"Bourbon didn't get the floppy disk that Shimokawa Yosuke hid. Is it possible that it was recovered by the Metropolitan Police Department?"
"The possibility is quite low, otherwise I wouldn't have heard about it. I hope this floppy disk doesn't exist in the first place, otherwise it would be troublesome if it fell into the wrong hands."
Is this the same contact from last time? It seems the organization is secretly investigating the floppy disk's whereabouts, but they're unaware it's already in their hands. Based on Zhu Fujingguang's next plan, he might lead the organization to believe the floppy disk doesn't exist.
Fujiwara Yuu raised the corner of his mouth slightly. The development of the situation to this point was very beneficial to him. He hoped that the organization would believe this statement, which would also make it easier for him to place spies in the organization.
Swallowing Shigehiko was only the first step. The amount of information he had access to was limited. If he wanted to gain more intelligence about the organization, he would have to work from multiple angles. He lowered his hand from his chin, pretending to think, and said to the beverage store clerk in front of him:
"Ice shaken lemon tea, please. More ice, less sugar."
"Okay, that'll be 350 yen."
During the drink-making stage, Fujiwara Yu naturally chose to eavesdrop further, but they didn't talk much afterwards. They just reminded each other that the organization's vigilance has been tight recently, and they should pay more attention to changes in people around them to prevent their identities from being exposed.
He gathered his wind power and took a sip of his iced lemon tea before a look of disdain crossed his face. The lemon tea made with inferior syrup was truly unpalatable, but he didn't want to waste it, so he drank it all in one gulp before throwing it in the trash.
It's because garbage sorting in Japan is so troublesome. If you don't finish a drink, you have to find a place to pour out the liquid. Instead of doing that, you might as well drink it.
Fujiwara Yu walked slowly towards the family restaurant in Shibuya. He did not choose to follow further because his undisguised hair color was too obvious. There was no need to take the risk at this time, which would ruin his plan.
Hondou Eikai could recognize him by the color of his eyes, and surely Morofushi Kagemitsu would be able to recognize him if he looked closely, which would be very troublesome. To avoid such trouble, he naturally wouldn't take the risk.
Just as Fujiwara Yu was about to fall into memories of the past, he suddenly noticed two police cars parked downstairs of the dilapidated apartment building across the street. Before he had time to think, he saw a very familiar figure.
His height is the same as before, and his naturally curly black hair is still very eye-catching. I just don't understand why he wears sunglasses and a black suit in such cloudy weather... If you don't know him, you might think he is a gangster's son.
With Matsuda's level, he should be able to subdue the suspect easily, so there's nothing to worry about.
Fujiwara Yu had been planning to just pass by, but then he heard the sound of a sports car braking suddenly. When he looked over, he noticed a familiar light gold color. Who else could it be but Furiya Rei, the black-skinned man with golden hair who hurriedly got out of the car?

Doesn’t this guy know that he has to keep a low profile given his current status?
Fūya is still the same guy as he was in the police academy, with a strong sense of justice. He won't stand idly by when encountering a case. This kind of personality is fine as a police officer, but as an undercover agent, it is easy to reveal his true colors.
He held his forehead with a headache. Now that he was without disguising his hair color, he definitely couldn't go upstairs to check the situation. He had no choice but to take out his cell phone and dial White's number, asking him to go to the apartment building to check the situation on his behalf.
——
Jinpei Matsuda, who happened to be passing by Shibuya on his holiday, noticed a police car parked downstairs of a dilapidated apartment building. Out of curiosity and a sense of justice, he went upstairs to check, because he had just passed by here and saw a police car parked at the door, but it was very strange that there was no cordon.
Sensing something was amiss, Matsuda Jinpei pulled out his phone and called Akihara Kenji and Yin Dahang, hoping they could coordinate if anything came up. He cautiously made his way to the third floor when he heard footsteps behind him. Turning to see the other person's face, he widened his eyes in surprise and exclaimed, "I'm not going to do that anymore."
"Furiya? Why...are you here?"
Matsuda Jinpei hasn't seen Furuya Rei since two years ago when he received no response no matter how many times he called or texted. However, last year when he was buying cigarettes at a convenience store, he ran into Morobushi Kagemitsu, who had also disappeared, and learned that they were going undercover.
Knowing that this was a secret of the public security department, he naturally did not delve into it further, and even recalled the bastard who left without saying goodbye.
Could that guy also be working undercover somewhere? He's clearly so eager to become a police officer, there's no way he'd quit.
"That's the question I wanted to ask. I received a mission assigned by the public security and followed a suspicious person all the way here." Fūya Ling didn't expect to meet a colleague here. He frowned in confusion and had to explain.
"I noticed that the police car was parked here for a while, but there was no cordon. I thought it was strange, so I went upstairs to check the situation." After Matsuda Jinpei finished his explanation, he gestured for silence and pointed to the room where the noise came from, indicating to be careful.
Without giving it much thought, Rei Furuya pulled out his pistol and headed for the door. He noticed the security door was ajar. Looking through the crack, he saw a foreign man inside, bound with hemp ropes, struggling to free himself.
After he kicked the door open, he looked around the room cautiously. After making sure there was no danger, he signaled Jinpei Matsuda to untie the ropes.
"Who are you? Why are you tied up here?" Matsuda Jinpei asked after squatting down to help untie the ropes.
However, the foreigner started speaking in Russian, which left Matsuda Jinpei confused. Although he spoke English well, he was really bad at Russian and couldn't even say the basic "Hello, thank you, goodbye".
But this guy, Rei Furuya, always managed to surprise people. Under Matsuda's surprised gaze, he remained calm and started communicating with the Russian man. After exchanging a few sentences in fluent Russian, he turned around and explained:
"He came here looking for someone, but he was knocked unconscious and tied up here. He should not be a suspect."
"Is that so? Then tell him that if he ever gets into danger, he can come to me at the Metropolitan Police Department's Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team."
After Furuya Rei helped translate, the Russian man bowed and thanked him before leaving. He stood up and wanted to continue investigating the room, but strange noises came from the next room. Could it be that the suspect hadn't left?
"Matsuda, be careful since you don't have a sidearm."
"Well, don't try to be so arrogant. I've already contacted the squad leader and the others."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
