Chapter 66

“A-choo!!!”

The black-haired boy sneezed suddenly, rubbed his nose, and revealed a pair of lifeless half-moon eyes.

Ah... As expected, are you sick again?

Come to think of it, he seemed to have been sneezing since he got up in the morning, and he had a vague feeling that something bad was going to happen...

"Conan, do you have a cold?"

Noticing that Conan was sneezing all the time, Mao Lilan couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"It's nothing, it's not serious actually." Conan replied gloomily.

"You should not travel if you have a cold, right?" Mao Lilan said kindly.

"You're going to be at sea for a week. Can you handle it?"

"That's absolutely fine! Don't worry, Xiaolan-sister!"

Similar situations have occurred before, but it's not such a coincidence, right? ?

Considering that he definitely cannot organize Mouri Ran's actions this time, Conan is more or less a little tired.

However, it was Sonoko who suggested going on this cruise trip with Xiaolan. Thinking that every invitation from the Suzuki family seemed to become some kind of big event, Conan also felt that something was wrong this time.

As it turned out, his hunch was correct.

When he received the message from Kuroba Kaito, Conan almost woke up from his chaotic state.

"Little detective, come and help me out - regarding the subsequent cruise ship incident, there may be a big surprise hidden that you don't know about!"

…

Looking at the message sent by Kuroba Kaito, Conan felt that his head, which had been aching slightly, was now hurting even more.

Of course Kidd wouldn't just send him a message casually, but if he did, there must be a very important reason.

It’s better to go and ask. After all, Lan wants to go with us this time, and we can’t let her take the risk alone.

"Sister Xiaolan, I'm going to go out for a while——"

"Eh? At this time now? Then you should come back early." Mao Lilan reminded.

"I know!"

Conan went out on time despite his trepidation. Kid gave him a specific address and called him to tell him the importance of the matter.

[It's about you. If you're lucky, you might be able to recover.]

This is what he cares about most.

Then this matter must be related to the Black Organization, and if it is related to the Black Organization, there is no way Conan would not be involved.

"Little Detective, I didn't expect you to come so early."

Kuroba's voice came from behind the phone booth. Conan was slightly stunned, his expression suddenly became serious, and his voice was subconsciously lowered.

"What on earth do you want from me, Thief Kidd?"

"Psst - don't call me by my name in public!"

Kuroba Kaito was also helpless, but when he thought that this was also Tsujimoto Yuma's request, he lost his temper.

"So what's going on? Why did you call me here for no reason..." Conan couldn't help but lower his voice.

"You suddenly said you could help me solve my body size problem - you're not going to play a trick on me, are you?"

"Of course it's impossible!! It's just that the situation this time is special..." Hei Yu Kaito whispered.

"In other words, this operation will definitely yield something that will help you recover. Do you understand that?"

"……ha?"

Conan was at a loss for a moment, then asked hurriedly:

"What can help the body recover?? What are you talking about?? I don't understand?"

"Just think of it as new information found out by the public security department. It's useful information to you anyway—" Kuroba Kaito shrugged.

"If you can recover, why not? Do you want to study at Teitan Elementary School for the rest of your life?"

"But... in that case, won't Ran and the others be in danger?" Conan became worried.

"I have to tell them that Lan and the others must not be involved in this matter..."

Having said that, Conan paused again, minding his own business.

Wait, we can't just let them refund the tickets.

Originally, the Suzuki family was the biggest sponsor of this cruise ship. If he told this to Ran Mouri, she would definitely tell Sonoko. Then the Suzuki family would definitely not let anyone else on board.

What happens if it's exposed?

Everyone related to it will be implicated, including Xiaolan.

"It seems you have thought it through clearly, Kudo Shinichi."

Suddenly, a strange man's voice rang in Conan's ears. He looked forward subconsciously and saw the familiar silver-haired man.

The other person was wearing a beige windbreaker, with long silver hair tied up high. His indigo eyes were covered by sunglasses, and it was impossible to see the expression on his face for a moment.

Tsujimoto Shigetsu?

No...it shouldn't be Shigeto Tsujimoto, but more like his weird younger brother.

"I have already contacted the Public Security Bureau." Yuma Tsujimoto looked at Conan Edogawa in front of him and pushed his sunglasses up his nose.

"It's up to you to decide what to do next. However, even you should know that if the public security helps, the next plan will be much easier, right?"

"Ha, if I didn't know you were really a public security officer, I would have thought you were threatening me." Conan said with a wry smile.

"So what is your choice?" Yuma Tsujimoto looked at him coldly.

"Just go..."

Edogawa Conan muttered, hiding the dissatisfaction on his face very well.

What else can we do?

Since Lan is involved, we have to wade through this mess even if we don't want to, right?

"It seems you made the right decision." Yuma Tsujimoto smiled.

"Don't worry, I will prove to you that your choice will be the right one in the end."

If we fail, the consequences will be disastrous, but that's just "if".

Whatever Yuma Tsujimoto does, he will succeed.

Considering that Conan and the others had missed each other in the previous actions, it was not appropriate for them to act alone, so Yuma Tsujimoto decisively involved the protagonists this time. One reason was to ensure the success of the next plan, and the other was to find the right audience for this grand performance.

The improvement of the black and red impressions is not only for the barrage audience, but also for other characters.

Yuma Tsujimoto and Conan did not mention anything about Tsujimoto's involvement, but Conan vaguely sensed something.

Where did Shigeto Tsujimoto go?

Thinking about it this way, it seemed that he hadn't met Tsujimoto Shigetsu for a long time. The police officer who looked quite upright but surprisingly easy to get along with seemed to have disappeared into thin air in an instant.

According to the public security, Yuma Tsujimoto was indeed an undercover agent sent by the public security to the Black Organization, and he deceived Conan just like Bourbon did back then.

However, after knowing the other party's identity, it was not very strange. After all, Yuma Tsujimoto and Kaito Kuroba appeared together, so what other surprises could there be?

The only thing that surprised Conan was the true identity of Shigeto Tsujimoto.

"Is Shigeto Tsujimoto a member of the Black Organization?"

After hearing this news, Conan felt his head buzzing and all kinds of fears gradually emerged.

"To be precise, he used to be a high-ranking member of the Black Organization, but became a policeman after he lost his memory for some reason." Furuya Rei said calmly.

"Is it strange? It's normal that you didn't know. After all, even I didn't realize that Yu Tsujimoto was an undercover agent at the beginning."

Conan Edogawa: "...So you undercover agents don't communicate with each other?"

"In fact, sometimes it's a good thing not to reveal something." Zhu Fu Jingguang said suddenly.

"Yuzhen is unwilling to communicate because he is being targeted and it is a little troublesome for him to take action. This is also done to protect other undercover agents."

"As for the person involved...he is not actually a bad person. In fact, he is a kind person. No one expected such a result."

"All right."

Conan sighed and looked at Kuroba Kaito.

"In fact, I am more shocked by you, Kidd. You actually cooperated with the police. This is simply unbelievable."

"I was actually quite surprised myself." Hei Yu Kuai Dou threw his hands up helplessly.

"I have come to an agreement with Yuma Tsujimoto. After all, this matter involves my background. The reason why I want to bring you into this is because this matter also involves you."

"If we can take this opportunity to directly root out the malignant tumor within the Black Organization, that would be the best thing ever."

"The cancer of the Black Organization???" Conan was stunned.

"But isn't the Black Organization itself a cancer?"

"That may not be accurate." Yuma Tsujimoto suddenly said.

"What do you mean by 'itself'? Do you know what kind of organization the Black Organization used to be?"

"Everything changed dramatically after Karasuma Renya appeared. It's a pipe dream for you to overthrow a transnational organization. It's so large that it can't be destroyed overnight."

"But if we change our thinking and transform [destruction] into [change], then everything becomes completely different."

"Is it really like this??"

Conan thought about it carefully for a while and found that what Yuma Tsujimoto said did make sense.

Wanting to destroy the Black Organization... is too difficult with just a few of them.

But if you want to change directly from the root, it is indeed different.

But if he wants to change the root, could it be that Yuu Tsujimoto wants to kill Karasuma Ren in this action? ? ?

Killed Karasuma Ren? ? Him? ? ?

This sounds dreamy too!!!

"Are you trying to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of the Black Organization's boss and change the dynasty?" Conan asked cautiously.

"That's right, you are very smart." Yuma Tsujimoto nodded.

"This doesn't sound as exciting as destroying the Black Organization..." Conan muttered.

"Really? Isn't that better?"

“…”

Sure enough, whether he was on the red side or the black side, Yuma Tsujimoto gave him a very dangerous feeling.

No, it should be said that Yushin Tsujimoto himself gave him a very unusual feeling. After all, he was an undercover agent in the Black Organization for such a long time without being discovered by his peers. He must have made very careful preparations for this.

"Since you have agreed to participate in our operation, the next thing to do will be very simple." Tsujimoto Yuma smiled, and it can be seen that he is in a good mood.

"Kudo Shinichi and Kuroba Kaito... If possible, I need you two to cooperate in this game to act out a scene to deceive the Black Organization. I believe that with your abilities, it should be easy to do it, right?"

"……ha???"
