"I should be the one asking you this, Manager Kuroda..."
At 12:25 in the morning, in carriage No. 17, Rum looked at Kuroda Heibei with a smile, one of his eyes twisting strangely, looking extremely weird and lifeless.
"Why are you here instead of staying in your room?"
Kuroda Heibei did not make any move. Even when he saw the gun in Rum's hand, he remained calm:
"Or are you finally going to show your hand?"
"showdown...."
Rum smiled even more, raised his hand and tore off the mask, revealing the face of an ordinary old man:
"You really know my identity... But before we officially start communicating, I have one more thing to do."
"What's up?"
"Clean up the house."
Bang!
Bourbon lowered his head and looked at his clothes which were gradually soaked by blood on his abdomen, his eyes full of disbelief.
Warm blood gushed out, and with waves of severe pain, Bourbon staggered back and hit the door hard. His pistol fell and he almost lost all strength.
Seeing this scene, Kuroda Heiwei's eyes finally became gloomy.
"Don't even think about resisting."
The hot muzzle of the gun was pressed against Bourbon's forehead. Rum smiled and reminded Kuroda Heibei who was about to draw his gun:
"Otherwise... your precious subordinate's head will explode."
"When did you find out?"
Kuroda Bei stopped what he was doing:
"Zero should be well hidden."
"It turns out his code name is Zero... This reminds me of an organization that doesn't exist."
Rum looked at his subordinates who had followed him for many years with a joking look:
"To be honest, Bourbon has always performed his duties diligently and has never disobeyed or violated my orders. He is a good subordinate and I trust him very much. Unfortunately... you still revealed a flaw."
"The flaw is Edogawa Conan."
"In order to investigate Maori Kogoro, the organization sent two people, one is Suzi and the other is Bourbon. The organization's original intention was to let them monitor and restrain each other to prevent the traitor from affecting the organization's judgment. Everything was going smoothly and we didn't find anything strange until Gin accidentally discovered the side effects of aptx4869 today. This made me suddenly realize it."
"Before this, Gin and I always believed that Bourbon and Suzi had no second thoughts about the organization, especially in the autopsy report of Maori Kogoro, their statements were surprisingly consistent. But unfortunately, Edogawa Conan was exposed. He was like a fuse that ignited the hay behind, and instantly made our good subordinate... nowhere to hide!"
"You...what on earth are you talking about..."
Bourbon covered his wound and asked with gritted teeth:
"What does Edogawa Conan have to do with me?"
"He really has nothing to do with you, but Suzi does."
Rum didn't mind answering the questions of his former trusted subordinate:
"In recent operations, you and Suzi often work together. This is because I feel that someone is interfering in the plan against the FBI, but I can't catch the other party's flaws, so I have to pay attention to everyone. One of your tasks is to monitor Suzi, right?"
"Yes...you ordered me to do so."
"But in the process of investigating Maori Kogoro, Suzi not only did not discover the identity of Edogawa Conan, but also repeatedly left Tokyo in the name of investigating Maori Kogoro. The time when he left Tokyo was also very interesting, almost at the critical moment when the organization was invaded... Isn't this strange?"
Rum chuckled and said:
"Of course, if you doubt Suzi's loyalty just based on this, not only me, but even the boss will not agree. After all, Suzi has made great contributions to the organization and rescued Gin many times. How can you doubt him because of such a small matter?"
"What really opened my eyes was aptx4869."
"There is no doubt that Edogawa Conan must be one of the assassinated people who took aptx4869. After he became smaller, he stayed at Maori Kogoro's house. But why did he choose Maori Kogoro?"
As if he was talking to himself, or as if he was reasoning, Rum said calmly:
"I couldn't figure out why I chose Maori Kogoro, so I ordered Akutagawa Ichimoto to start tracking down Edogawa Conan's movements, and noticed a man named Dr. Agasa."
"Through my personal network, I discovered that Dr. Agasa is an interesting person. He has a close relationship with the Kudo family and lives next door to them. Not only that, Kudo Shinichi and Maori Kogoro's daughter Maori Ran are childhood sweethearts. They are both in Class B, Year 2 of Teitan High School. Isn't this exactly the reason why Edogawa Conan chose to live in Maori Kogoro's house? So I concluded that Edogawa Conan is the so-called savior of Japan, Kudo Shinichi!"
"Suzie's residence is next to Maori's office. They often meet each other every day, and they have collaborated to solve cases more than once."
"A year ago, Kudo Shinichi took aptx4869 and became Edogawa Conan, living in the home of Maori Kogoro."
"A year ago, the mediocre Maori Kogoro suddenly became famous and became one of Japan's top detectives. There is an inevitable causal relationship between the two. Japan lost a savior, but gained a sleeping Kogoro. The one behind the scenes is Kudo Shinichi!"
"so what?"
Bourbon asked, panting:
"What do you want to say? What does this have to do with Suzi?"
