Everything in Tokyo is still the same as before I left, but for some reason the weather has been bad lately. When I looked at the weather forecast, it seemed like it would be cloudy and rainy for several days in a row.
I reconfigured my phone and immediately handed over part of the plan to Black Widow.
It's actually very simple. It's just a matter of using the intelligence network to pass some information to the winery.
For them - for Rum and Karasuma Renya, the "legacy" I left behind has different effects on them.
For example, for Rum, he cares more about the influence, intelligence relations, money and other things I left behind, but for Karasuma Renya, my research data is more attractive and surpasses everything else.
In fact, if the two of them cooperated and took what they needed, there would be less trouble and it would be more difficult for me to instigate them. But I can't let others sleep beside me, not to mention that they already had conflicts.
Therefore, I used the intelligence network to spread the news about my "pass chip" at this time, which naturally attracted their attention immediately. Mako also has two code names. The one in Nagano Prefecture caused such a big trouble and caused Gin to suffer such a big loss. Curacao also suffered there, so they were naturally very concerned.
It is normal to find some clues behind the incident during the investigation.
This is something they discovered themselves, and they will only believe and be more certain of it.
In this way, all the unreasonable things were pushed onto Mako. With the power struggle she had always shown according to my plan, it was normal for her to want to integrate the original Pandora forces after confirming my "death". It was not abrupt at all.
I have said this countless times before, Mako is a rash person. I know that Karasuma Renya and Rum are not bad at judging people, so they can certainly detect this.
In this context, isn't it normal to be able to investigate the clues that Mako "accidentally" left behind?
The Mori Detective Agency was once noticed by Gin, but was finally cleared of suspicion thanks to the unexpected cooperation of Vermouth and Akai Shuichi. Even Gin has not forgotten this recent incident.
He had reported the briefing of this mission. He had doubts before, and with the direction of this clue, the needs of Karasuma Renya and Rum, it was not surprising that the responsibility of the final mission fell on Amuro Toru and Black Widow.
My purpose?
It's not that complicated. After coming back for a few days, I feel more and more that Conan is a variable that is difficult to control. Although he has been very well behaved these two days, especially in front of people, the feeling he conveyed to Toru Amuro and Shuichi Akai was what I needed.
But the benefits of threats are always only temporary, and I need a solution that will last forever.
I do it myself?
That's the worst option.
I don't need to investigate, I can guess that Rum and Karasuma Renya are restraining each other, and after careful consideration, neither of them will send their own people to do the job first.
Because neither of them is willing to be "first", but at the same time they cannot give up the initiative, so Toru Amuro and Black Widow, who have not yet confirmed their camps but are capable, have identities and are aware of current affairs, must be the first choices to carry out the mission.
Not to mention, Toru Amuro already had a fake identity as "Mouri Kogoro's disciple", so this mission was simply tailor-made for him.
If this were an RPG game, this would be a critical choice that would require saving the game. Because according to the different styles of Rum and Karasuma Renya, they would give different orders to Amuro Toru knowing full well, and it all depends on what the other party chooses.
If I were to guess, Rum is a tough guy, he might want to root out the problem completely, so the task he assigns will be even more ruthless; Karasuma Renya is older, and he has used Eli to help him decipher the secrets of the house before, so he won't have any murderous intentions for the time being.
Of course, if the mission doesn't go smoothly, that won't necessarily happen. What is certain is that they will force Toru Amuro to make a choice.
As for Black Widow, their methods will be somewhat gentler, or it can be said that they will let Black Widow float on the edge of the mission, mainly to provide support.
It is not difficult to understand if you think about it. Rum and Karasuma Renya are also cautious people. The "pass chip" is of great importance and is almost the key to Pandora's core power. Amuro Toru is safe and does not know the significance of this thing, so he is safe. He will not take the initiative to plot this thing, unlike Miwa Mako.
But Black Widow is different. He once worked with me, so he has the opportunity to know.
Rum and Karasuma Renya are not stupid enough to ask Black Widow "Do you know?", but now that Mako died while searching for clues and chips, someone must be coveting them. It is too late to test them now, so they both decided to take the safest approach.
The struggle is an internal issue. They have not yet escalated the factional issue to the point of division, because none of them are sure of victory, and naturally they all need the power I once had to add weight to them.
In addition, other people originally in Tokyo should have received more or less cooperation tasks. Just what I can think of: Bermode, Gin, Kir, Chianti, Cohen, etc. will definitely gather here.
It must not be my illusion, the feeling that a storm is about to come is becoming more and more obvious.
After coming back, he watched Conan in Beika Town for a few days, but he didn't even encounter a murder case. It seemed like he was planning something big.
On the Poirot side, Toru Amuro has now returned to work after taking a few days off, but it is obvious that he is spending more and more time in the Mori Detective Agency.
It's the same for me. Because of the previous work at the Nagano Prefecture TV station, and the fact that we finally made an appointment for an interview there, I often come here to design some ideas for him so that there's nothing strange about his makeup for different occasions.
Anyway, he got it for free and was very happy.
"Oh - I'm really sorry to trouble you, Furutani. That kind of thing happened at the TV station before, and I'll need your help later." Kogoro Mouri adjusted his tie and looked at himself in the mirror.
I took a bite of the sandwich that Toru Amuro brought up. "Not at all. Working with Mr. Maori will be a perfect addition to my resume. I got the upper hand. I haven't thanked Detective Maori for the free publicity he gave me. Yes, it's this cufflink - this outfit goes very well with your current look, and it's suitable for the second stage of outdoor interviews you just mentioned."
Maori Kogoro was very pleased with this simple flattery, but he still said modestly, "Oh, really?"
"Yes, Mr. Maori looks very energetic." Toru Amuro, still wearing an apron, stood behind the sofa, bent his waist and raised his hips, with his elbows resting on the sofa back.
Below his voice is Conan-kun who is sitting in the middle of the sofa.
Elementary school students are on vacation, but high school students are still in school. The pressure is indeed different.
He felt my vague gaze and felt like a thorn in his back. He immediately clapped his hands and applauded Kogoro Mori.
"This is the charm of an adult man!" Kogoro Mori said with some complacency.
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
My eyes moved and I closed the makeup box. And Amuro Toru, who was closest to the door, went to answer the door.
Who would have known that as soon as the door opened, his expression would change drastically as he turned his back to us.
Don’t ask me how I could see his expression when my back was turned to him. If I couldn’t see his face, could I not feel his mental fluctuations?
"Hello, is Detective Maori here?" Such a slightly smoky voice was unexpectedly pleasant. "I have something I would like to entrust to the Maori Detective Agency."
"It's me." Maori Kogoro, who had just finished tidying himself up and looked extremely confident, walked over to the full-length mirror and said, "Amuro, don't block the client."
Toru Amuro withdrew his warning look, put on his waiter's mask again, and stepped aside to let the person in.
Dressed like a human.
I took the initiative to pour tea and put it on the table.
"My name is Miwa Kuro, and I'm here to entrust an important matter to Mr. Mori." As soon as he sat down, Amuro Toru stood behind him.
I caught his gaze and pulled Conan away from his original position, saying that he didn't want to disturb the adults' conversation.
Seeing this slightly strange feeling of tension, the usually smart Conan immediately understood something, jumped down from his seat, and stood behind the sofa that was almost taller than him.
I don't need to explain much, this Black Widow actually dares to use her real name to carry out activities.
He must have taken advantage of people's blind spots. Who would have thought that he would use his real name like this?
"In fact, it was when I was packing and moving at the beginning of the year that I accidentally found a torn letter left by my father before he died." He said, taking out a piece of paper that looked like it was half burned from his pocket and placed it on the table, pushing it to Maori Kogoro, "It records the location of a very important thing left by my father, but the information on it is very incomplete. Before I saw this letter, my house had suffered a fire, so there was only a little information left on the letter. I really don't have any more clues, so I hope Detective Maori can help me find the things my father left behind."
This letter paper looks a bit new. Since it is something left over from the past, can you please give me some snacks?
I was complaining in my heart, but Kogoro Mori didn't notice this. He picked up the paper and looked at it. There were really only a few lines of words on it. It was almost burnt, with only a few vaguely distinguishable words left on the yellowed edges.
"5-chome 39..." Maori Kogoro squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and his voice became surprised. "If it is Beika-cho 5-chome 39, isn't it here?"
Yes, that's what it meant.
Black Widow still looked clueless. He said awkwardly, "I only know that my father did live in Tokyo in his early years, but whether it was in Beika-cho... It's been a long time. My father passed away ten years ago, so I'm not sure."
To the side of my eyes, Toru Amuro was gripping the sofa backrest so tightly that his chocolate-colored fingers were turning white.
He knew at a glance what Black Widow was planning.
Maori Kogoro was in a dilemma. This commission sounded very troublesome, and he had to prepare for the subsequent interviews...
But before he could say no, Black Widow took out a check from her pocket and put it on the table. The seven-digit number on it was really attractive. "Actually, it doesn't matter what we find in the end. The main thing is that my father didn't leave anything behind. I didn't have time to take good care of him back then. Now I just want to find the things he left behind as a reminder."
When Maori Kogoro saw the number on the check, his eyes almost turned into the shape of money. He immediately swallowed his previous excuses and promised solemnly: "Don't worry, I am the famous detective Maori Kogoro, and I will definitely help you find your father's relics!"
"I feel relieved if I have Detective Maori!" Black Widow is still very intimidating when she looks innocent. He doesn't look sharp, but rather honest at first glance. "Oh, by the way - I remember my father said when he was a child that he did buy a lot of real estate when he was young. Go-chome 39 - maybe it's one of his properties?"
Without leaving any more clues, after a few polite words, Kogoro Mori stood up and escorted this sucker customer out the door.
Black Widow took a quick look at the furnishings in the room and gave Amuro Toru a last look before leaving.
"Piro has something to do downstairs, so I won't disturb you for now." Amuro Toru remained expressionless. As soon as he saw the door closed, he said goodbye and followed him casually.
I licked my lips, and then things got interesting.
