Sakaki Makoto thinks Gin is bragging, but he has no evidence.
Besides, it doesn't matter.
"The day after tomorrow is January 1st, the New Year."
Vermouth said:
"On that day, a mysterious sightseeing train will depart from Tokyo Station and arrive at an unknown location. According to the organization's investigation, this train is funded by the Suzuki Foundation, so Maori Kogoro will receive an invitation every year."
"The organization intends to use this opportunity to arrange personnel to sneak into the train and ambush Akai Tsutomu."
"How can we be sure that Akai Tsutomu will board the train?"
Sakaki Makoto asked:
"If Akai Tsutomu doesn't get on the bus, then all our work will be in vain, right?"
"This is an opportunity that only comes once a year. We cannot miss it no matter what."
Exhaling a puff of cigarette from between her lips, Vermouth said softly:
"Besides, the organization has already determined that Akai Mumu's target is one of you and Bourbon. As long as you and Bourbon get on the train, Akai Mumu will definitely follow!"
"Um...."
Hearing what Vermouth said, Sakaki Makoto finally let go of his worries:
"Then I will be the one to deal with Akai Tsumugi?"
"No, there is no room for mistakes in this operation."
Gin said coldly:
"Your and Bourbon's mission is to act as bait and lure Akai Wuwu into the car. Afterwards, the people responsible for dealing with Akai Wuwu are me, Vermouth, and Rum."
"Boss, are you going to go out in person?"
Sakaki Makoto widened his eyes in surprise, he had been a member of the organization for a while, and had carried out many missions. Each time, Gin had to stay at the back, acting remotely, and rarely went out in person. This was an unprecedented operation, and three of them were going together... The pressure was a bit high.
"Try to stay out of the house as little as possible in the next two days. Wait until the morning after tomorrow to board the mysterious train with Maori Kogoro."
"clear."
Sakaki Makoto nodded:
"But Boss, you just said that you need an invitation to ride that sightseeing train with different destinations. What if I don't receive an invitation?"
"Someone will take care of this matter for you. You will receive a letter tomorrow at the latest."
"How many people?"
"....One person is not enough?"
Gin glanced at Sakaki Makoto, a little confused.
"Oh no, well...my girlfriend might want to come along, so I was thinking, if it's convenient for you, boss...you could get an extra invitation or something..."
“….”
To be honest, if Gin didn't know Sakaki Makoto very well, he would definitely be angry.
But this kind of thing has happened before, and Sakaki Makoto has always been thick-skinned. He is not the type to take advantage of small gains, but... the type who will hit the snake with a stick.
"Getting a few invitations is a small matter, but the organization sent you on the train not to let you go sightseeing, but to carry out a mission!"
"Don't worry, Boss. I understand."
Sakaki Shinnosuke said solemnly:
"Bourbon and I will work together to smooth things over and pretend nothing happened. You will just observe from the dark. Once you spot Akai Tsutomu, you will take action, right?"
"Um."
.................................. At 9 o'clock in the evening, the Crown sedan was driving on the brightly lit streets of Tokyo, shuttling between light and darkness.
Acne
Sakaki Makoto was a little absent-minded.
In fact, he didn't need to ask Gin for an invitation, because he knew that even if the Black Organization did not provide them with an invitation, he could still ask Suzuki Sonoko for help.
The reason why the matter of Miss Miyano was emphasized was mainly to make Gin relax his vigilance.
No matter how vigilant Gin was, he could not have guessed that Sakaki Makoto would dare to let Miss Miyano appear in front of the Black Organization openly and take her with him on every mission.
Sometimes, the more open you are, the better you can hide the truth.
Makoto Sakaki had a similar experience. For example, when he was taking a monthly exam in high school, he passed the answers to his classmates. Because his movements were too large, he was accidentally noticed by the teacher. The teacher walked towards him. Most people might have been flustered and sweating, but Makoto Sakaki was different. He was very calm and did not change his behavior pattern at all because of the teacher's actions. When the teacher came to him and asked him what he was doing just now... Makoto Sakaki just looked at the teacher with surprise and asked back: "Ah?" to indicate that he did not understand what the teacher was saying.
The teacher could neither see his flaws nor find any evidence, so naturally there was nothing he could do.
It was also from that time that Makoto Sakaki discovered the threshold of psychology and began to learn to understand other people's thoughts, including but not limited to a series of factors such as actions, expressions, tone, personality, and eyes.
At the beginning, he often made mistakes, but making mistakes is not terrible. What is terrible is that after making mistakes, he becomes timid and dares not to continue trying.
Today... Makoto Sakaki is able to judge a person's personality, temper, reliability and other traits through a short period of contact.
The one giving him the most headache right now is Akai Mary.
"17 years ago, was your uncle among those responsible for killing Akai Tsutomu?"
After returning home, Miss Miyano heated up the dinner and brought it to the table. After listening to the information collected by Makoto Sakaki, she said in shock:
"How is this possible?! Isn't uncle in the same group as Akai Tsutomu?"
"Maybe I was forced into this."
Sakaki Makoto was also a little unsure:
"After all, the rebellion plan failed, and Karasuma Oriyuki, me, and you sisters all fell into the hands of the Black Organization. If my father didn't obey the boss's orders, the Black Organization would definitely kill us."
"But...But doesn't Akai Mari know about this?"
Miss Miyano said blankly:
"If she knew, why would she assist you so many times?"
“That’s where it gets weird!”
Sakaki Makoto drank the flavor-enhancing soup and said:
"From the first time I met Akai Mary, I felt that she was hiding something from us, and now I finally found the source..."
Miss Miyano pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
Mary Akai is also her relative. Although they have never met each other, the blood flowing in their bodies cannot be changed.
Miss Miyano felt very upset when she heard that Akai Mary was very likely plotting against them.
"Maybe we are overthinking it."
Sakaki Makoto comforted her:
"Invite Mingmei to your house for dinner tomorrow. It's a good opportunity to ask her about this matter."
Miyano Akemi is about the same age as Sakaki Makoto. She was one of the witnesses of what happened 17 years ago and might know some inside information. Sakaki Makoto plans to ask her some questions and then go to Ishikawa Hide to confirm it.
As long as their answers are the same, the truth can basically be confirmed.
"Conan, please take care of the train tickets for Hattori and Kidd."
Makoto Sakaki said:
"If you come forward, Sonoko will probably help."
"Okay, leave it to me."
"Wait! Where's my ticket?"
Hiroki ran over and asked:
"You promised to take me along to play!"
