Chapter 535
Not to mention Gin, even Bourbon, who considers himself to be on the same side as Usui Saiki, is now completely dumbfounded.
He subconsciously reflected on whether he had offended Usaku Saiki recently... No matter how powerful Usaku Saiki was, he shouldn't know about his connection with the Miyano family, right? Was he targeting the Japanese Public Security Bureau?
What has the Japanese Public Security Bureau been doing lately? They haven't been very cooperative, have they?
Why bring up Akemi Miyano all of a sudden at this time?
After the Japanese police rescued Akemi Miyano, it was impossible for them to keep her locked up in the house forever. After arranging a fake identity and regular contact, Akemi Miyano would indeed go out like an ordinary person, and it would be normal for her to run into Saiki Usubaba... Could it be that Akemi Miyano is hiding something?
I'll have to ask when I get back...
Compared to the cunning Bourbon, Vodka, as a member of the organization, had a much simpler way of asking questions. He opened his mouth and asked, "Huh? Where did you meet Miyano Akemi? Isn't she dead?"
"That's why I was wondering, could it be that I met a relative of Miyano Akemi?"
Vodka actually thought about it seriously: "Could it be Sherry? But do you even know what Sherry looks like..."
"Does the organization have a program that can directly find the person in question through photos or other means, using cameras around the world?" Bo Yezaki pondered. "It seems technically feasible. I've heard that someone is already developing a program that can capture footage of any target, from childhood to adulthood, regardless of age."
Gin, unusually interested in what Usuo Saiki was saying, asked, "Is that so?"
"Go check it out yourself if you don't believe me." Bo Yezaki pouted. "If there's nothing else, I'm going to have breakfast."
Vodka silently raised his hand to check the time... It was already three in the afternoon...
Gin has lost interest in Usui Saiki.
After investigating for a long time, he found that when Usakabe Saiki went to the sushi restaurant to cause trouble for Rum, he was only giving him a small tip and had no other contact with the murderer. Now, Usakabe Saiki seemed to be reflecting on this matter but was actually quite proud of it, so he felt that there was no point in continuing to investigate.
The age-inclusive surveillance and search program that Pottnis mentioned is quite good; if the organization could get its hands on it, it would save a lot of trouble…
He planned to have Vodka investigate, and if it was true, report it to the organization.
Meanwhile, under Vodka's earnest gesturing, Furuya Rei had already led Usui Saiki out of the safe house, intending to take her to get something to eat first.
While driving, Furuya Rei asked directly, "Why did you suddenly bring up Miyano Akemi?"
“Huh? Can’t I mention it? She’s You Know Who,” Usakata Saiki replied casually.
Rei Furuya suppressed his anger and said in a gentle tone, "You can mention whomever you want, I just want to know the reason."
Usakabe Saiki thought for a moment and said, "There's no particular reason. Although it would be very interesting if we could prove that Miyano Akemi wasn't dead, I'm not interested in messing with Gin right now."
Jianggu Ling: "…………"
You finally admit it: you were only into Gin out of interest before!
He was speechless for a moment, then asked, "Why aren't you interested now?"
Is it because you just finished with rum and are full, so you look down on gin, which is just a simple side dish?
Look at Rum's fate—once everyone in the organization finds out that Rum was killed by an ordinary person while trying to become a waiter, he's basically ruined. In comparison, it's a miracle that Gin, who has been targeting Usui Saiki for so long, is still alive and kicking.
Perhaps Usakabe Saiki was more magnanimous than he imagined.
Usakata sighed, "Well, we have too few good subordinates... The organization can't afford to lose Gin."
Jianggu Ling: "???"
He slammed on the brakes, stopping at the red light, then turned to look at Bo Yezhai in disbelief: "What do you mean? You're actually starting to think about the organization now?"
The way Bo Yezaki looked at him was like looking at an unreasonable child: "Are you kidding me when you say you're going to help me?"
"It's not fake...but..."
Rei Furuya's mind is a bit of a mess.
He originally thought that his cooperation with Usaku Saiki would eventually lead to the destruction of the organization... But Usaku Saiki seems to have no such intention and even plans to let the organization continue to exist.
Should I ask? If I ask and get it wrong, might I offend Usaku Saiki instead...?
No! He must have misunderstood!
Rei Furuya quickly reviewed his memory, even recalling a casual remark by Saiki Usaba—"Gin kills his own people both quickly and in large numbers"—he understood!
Indeed, the organization needs a skilled worker like Gin who gets orders and is adept at silencing witnesses!
As a sword, Gin is still excellent; others may not necessarily have Gin's efficiency and mindset.
With Usui Saiki's abilities, he could easily guide Gin to kill more members loyal to the organization, thus reducing the pressure of eradicating the organization...
“I understand.” Rei Furuya’s expression hardened.
Having prepared a bunch of misleading statements, Usakawa Saiki thought, "...?"
What do you understand? I think you don't understand at all. Why didn't you ask a single question?
The skeptical system murmured, "This shows that the human heart cannot withstand testing, but it can withstand torment..."
It wasn't easy for Rei Furuya!
Although Usoppei Saiki had some doubts, considering that Furuya Rei had contributed a lot of doubt points and a lot of trust points, he was willing to save himself some words.
Since Rei Furuya isn't going to delve into this topic, let's move on to the next one.
"If the organization takes any action regarding the procedure I mentioned, please remember to notify me promptly."
Rei Furuya raised his eyebrows.
This is truly rare.
Bo Yezaki basically doesn't care about the organization's movements, and often acts on a whim, joining in the fun on a whim.
This time, they actually took it seriously ahead of time, and were so certain that the organization would definitely investigate that procedure...
Is it possible that Usoppō Saiki is finally serious about taking over the organization?
Then I heard Usakabe Saiki say, "If the organization uses that program to find out that Shinichi Kudo is Conan Edogawa, it will be troublesome. After all, he is an acquaintance of mine."
Rei Furuya: "...Then don't remind Gin!"
“That won’t do. I need that program to work.” Usakabe Saiki said matter-of-factly. “Besides, Shinichi is just an acquaintance.”
Jianggu Ling: "..."
We're not even friends, just acquaintances, so you won't compromise your goals because of that, right?
This looks so plasticky!
"...Just tell me what procedure you want, and I'll have the Japanese Public Security Bureau handle it, okay?"
Usakabe Saiki paused for a moment: "I want to destroy it after I'm done using it... If that's okay..."
Rei Furuya decisively replied, "Never mind what I said."
No matter how much the Japanese Public Security Bureau cooperates, they won't be willing to do all the work for someone else. At the very least, the procedures should be such that the Japanese Public Security Bureau can continue to use it afterward! What does "destroy" even mean?
But after hearing this, Furuya Rei became even more curious about what Usui Saiki was going to do with that program.
There are too many mysteries surrounding Usaku Saiki; as soon as one is solved, another appears...
Although at the beginning... or even now, Furuya Rei has been wary of Usui Saiki, now he has also begun to yearn to learn about Usui Saiki.
"...Speaking of which," Furuya Rei asked, feigning nonchalance, "what am I to you now? An assistant?"
Japanese public security officers have their own assistants, and the bond between the two can sometimes be even stronger than that between family members.
Furuya Rei didn't expect Usui Saiki to feel that their relationship was that good. He just felt that he was quite useful and that being used as an assistant wasn't shameful.
Bo Yezaki asked, somewhat puzzled, "You're only asking this now? Isn't it obvious enough? You're of course mine—"
Rei Furuya unconsciously slowed his breathing.
"--cook."
Jianggu Ling: "..."
Okay, I was so stupid to actually have expectations of Usui Saiki.
So what if he's a cook? He'd like to see who Bo Yezaki's collaborators are if his standards are those of a cook!
Rum's death remained a secret to most of the organization's members and did not cause any turmoil. Only the higher-ranking cadres quietly divided up the power that Rum had once held.
Bourbon was among them.
Bourbon's qualifications were actually insufficient, but before Rum's death, he was considered one of Rum's more valued people and had already taken over a part of the work. It would be quite troublesome to hand it over to someone else.
At this point, Usoppō Saiki made a suggestion.
[Bourbon is too young, but he's not the only one. Didn't Rum have a rather capable right-hand man before? How about having Curaçao and Bourbon monitor each other and share this power? That way, the other executives won't be dissatisfied because Bourbon is less experienced but on equal footing with them, since strictly speaking, Bourbon only received half of what they were given. We can then assess their performance to see who is more suitable.]
The organization's boss thought it was good, but still jokingly replied: "I heard you like to favor girls, looks like it's true."
Curaçao was almost killed by Rum last time, and even after she died, she had to take the blame for Rum's actions. It was so pitiful, so it's normal for me to be a little biased.
The organization's boss nodded.
It was just another personal grudge... Potts may hold grudges, but he's still quite open and honest.
Hopefully, it will stay that way.
While the organization's boss was busy, Conan Edogawa and his team had gotten themselves into a dead end in their investigation.
Even Yusaku Kudo, who returned to Japan, was completely baffled when researching Rum's death.
It looks like an accident no matter how you look at it!
Yusaku Kudo was discussing something with Shuichi Akai, but Shuichi Akai fell silent...
From a rational perspective, it was an accident, but from an emotional perspective, he always felt that Potts had something wrong with him...
In particular, after hearing Conan Edogawa say that before Rum died, Saiki Usaba actually cooperated with Kaito Kid, allowing Kaito Kid to disguise himself as him—it sounded like some kind of alibi!
Just then, Conan Edogawa returned.
Knowing that he was going to see Usui Saiki and that Usui Saiki's information was probably obtained from the Japanese Public Security Bureau, Kudo Yusaku took the opportunity, away from the FBI, to ask privately, "So, did you get anything out of Usui-kun?"
Conan Edogawa nodded: "Yeah, Bo Ye found out that the Japanese Public Security Bureau's undercover agent said that Gin suspects this matter is related to Potts—I guess the chef at the sushi restaurant might be Potts!"
Yusaku Kudo stroked his chin: "How about letting Mr. Akai go and take a look? He should know Potts, right?"

Bourbon (probing): What am I to you?
Thin Leaf (Cold-blooded): Cook
In the end, it was all for naught.
