"Just say whatever you want to say. It will be better for everyone."
With his right hand holding the MK23 hanging naturally, Makoto Sakaki held a cigarette in his mouth and did not even look at the FBI around him. His eyes were always on Yusaku Kudo.
This is the real master.
The other FBI agents are all useless and it would be a waste of time to take any more glances at them.
"Don't be so impatient..."
Kudo Yusaku walked to the table, picked up the coffee pot, and poured a cup of boiling hot coffee for Sakaki Makoto:
"Your father was much calmer back then."
"Have you seen him?"
Sakaki Makoto frowned.
"We met once."
Kudo Yusaku showed a nostalgic look, looked at the green treetops outside the window, and said softly:
"It was about 18 years ago, just before I met Yukiko. I returned to Japan for publishing issues and happened to encounter Phantom Thief No. 1412. The Metropolitan Police Department asked me to crack his magic, and I agreed. That was our first and only fight."
"That night, Phantom Thief No. 1412 arrived as scheduled according to the time indicated in the notice letter. When I arrived, there was another person at the scene who was confronting him. That person was your father."
"After seeing me, your father left immediately, saying only an ambiguous 'please'. I still don't quite understand what this sentence means. Perhaps your father has known Phantom Thief No. 1412 for a long time."
Green smoke rose up, and Sakaki Makoto squinted his eyes and listened. He was a very polite listener, and the FBI also listened very carefully.
After all, Kudo Yusaku rarely talks about the secrets of the past.
"More than a year later, my novel was going to be made into a movie. As a screenwriter, I went to the filming site to assist the director in casting, and I met Yukiko..."
Kudo Yusaku spoke at a steady pace, neither fast nor slow:
"You should know that Yukiko learned the art of disguise from Phantom Thief 1412. Yukiko has a senior sister, Vermouth."
"Yukiko said that on the day of graduation, a strange man came to the United States and took Vermouth away. That man was your father."
"And your father was one of the seven knights Yukiko encountered. Unfortunately, I only met him once, and I never had the chance to meet him again. To this day, I am still very curious, between him and me, who was the first to crack the magic of Phantom Thief No. 1412."
"After so many years, is there still any point in worrying about this?"
"It's a kind of memory. We must always be vigilant against unknown enemies..."
"He has been dead for many years."
"yes...."
Taking a sip of coffee and feeling the bitterness spreading through his mouth, Kudo Yusaku breathed a sigh of relief:
"Based on his strength, if he hadn't died, he would have become the boss of the Black Organization... If that's the case, then this game is too big."
"Even if he's alive, he's just a shell. His soul has long since dissipated."
Sakaki Cheng put out his cigarette and said calmly:
"Let's talk business. Where are they?"
"In a very safe place."
"That's definitely not here."
“I think this is pretty safe.”
"Maybe your feeling is wrong."
"No, that's correct."
Kudo Yusaku smiled slightly:
"Without us, what will happen to tomorrow's operation?"
"Oh...."
Playing with MK23, Sakaki Makoto said with a smile:
"Old people often say that it is most important to put yourself in the right position. People who have high aspirations but low skills usually don't end up well."
“It’s a very valid point, and it applies to everyone.”
At this time, Kudo Yusaku suddenly looked down at the time and said with satisfaction:
“Almost…”
"Almost what?"
"Time and distance."
Yusaku Kudo says:
"It has been 30 minutes since they were arrested. How far do you think a car can travel in 30 minutes?"
"You sent them away?"
Sakaki Makoto's face darkened. This was something he had not expected. Chess pieces should usually be held in the hand, but Kudo Yusaku's actions were completely illogical!
"Yes, we should have left Beika Town by now."
Facing the gun pointed at him, Kudo Yusaku nodded, his voice calm:
"Even if you hold me hostage, it's useless. They have abandoned all means of communication. In other words, I have no way to contact them. However, you can locate them through Conan's tracking glasses... The headphones they wear have a positioning effect."
"What good will it do you to send them away from Tokyo?"
"You'll soon understand."
Kudo Yusaku smiled:
"Oh, by the way, the address of the restaurant where Conan and the others are having dinner has been sent to your phone. It will take at least an hour to get there from Teitan High School. By then, the car may have left Tokyo. Of course, Miss Haibara and the others will not be harmed, but if you don't leave quickly, the next time you see her will be in Hokkaido or abroad...I think her passport hasn't been processed yet, right?"
Crash!
Before he could finish his words, Sakaki Makoto had already rushed out, jumped into the car parked at the school gate, and drove towards the restaurant with his foot on the accelerator.
"He's gone."
Looking at the car speeding away, Judy and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, when Makoto Sakaki was talking to Yusaku Kudo, they had been holding their guns and did not dare to let go, for fear that Makoto Sakaki would suddenly become violent and hurt people.
