In the game room, the blond American English teacher explained his love for game consoles and why he came to Japan to work, which successfully shocked the three high school students.

"Is that why you teach so seriously?"

"Yes, if something goes wrong and I get fired, I won't be able to play anymore." The blonde woman with black square glasses said helplessly:

"It's so difficult for foreigners like us to find jobs here."

"So, the fact that I'm playing the game console here is a secret. You two have to keep it a secret for me." Strange Japanese mixed with English words came out of the teacher's mouth. It sounded a bit awkward, but Conan, who was standing aside, didn't care. He had been silent from the beginning, which also attracted the attention of the blond teacher.

"Little brother, what are you looking at?"

"I..." Conan was about to say something when the door of the hall opened and a young man in uniform walked in. He looked around and saw Conan, then smiled and waved his hand.

"Little boy, didn't you say you had an appointment with Kong? Why is there only Xiaoguang?" Yuanzi asked the person who came in with some confusion, then looked at the handsome middle school student and sighed, "Although this one is not bad, he is still too young."

Mao Lilan, who knew her best friend's personality well, was used to this. She looked at Morobushi Kagemitsu and asked:

"Are you alone, Xiaoguang?"

"My brother is busy drawing comics and can't come, so he asked me to come for him."

Conan was stunned when he heard this. As everyone knows, at the end of last month, Mr. Traveler Leon asked for leave for the first time since the series began. This incident caused a crazy discussion on the fan forum, and many possibilities were listed. However, Conan had a vague guess about the answer. At the end of last month, he was shot and Kong Ge hurried to see him. Therefore, Conan felt very guilty about it.

"Oh, you are that little boy." The blond teacher standing next to him suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "I have seen you before."

Morobushi Kagemitsu naturally recognized this blonde woman who helped him a lot when he encountered robbers in the supermarket in the United States. Of course, he already knew that the other party's real identity was FBI and that she came to Japan to investigate the Black Organization.

However, Morobushi Kagemitsu welcomed this. The more he understood the organization, the more he realized that it was not something that could be solved by the public security alone. The organization had existed for too long and had extremely strong influence in various countries.

"Hey, Teacher Judy knows Xiaoguang?" Xiaolan asked in surprise, and Yuanzi beside her blurted out:

"You two actually know each other?!"

"When I was in the United States with my brother, I was robbed. Thanks to this sister." Morobushi Jingguang explained with a smile, "I was too nervous at the time and didn't have time to ask my sister what her name was."

"Judy Santamirion." The blonde woman winked and smiled, "You can also call me Teacher Judy like them."

"Teacher Judy saved you, that's amazing!" Sonoko's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she admired the new English teacher even more.

"No, no, your brother is also very powerful," the blonde woman said modestly, "He was the one who knocked down two of them at that time."

"Is it...Brother Kong?" Xiaolan asked with some confusion.

Conan was not surprised. He carefully observed Kong's body and found that although it was not obvious, there were signs of exercise. Therefore, he speculated that Kong might have had excellent physical fitness in the past, but he just got sick recently... Is he really sick? Thinking of his attitude, Conan suddenly doubted this point.

If he wasn't sick, but his weakness didn't seem to be fake, after all, there was no need, so what on earth would make a healthy person look weak all the time? And... Conan thought of the obvious suicide marks on his wrist, and his expression darkened.

If it is true as he speculated, then what exactly caused Kong's current mental state? Conan felt that he had touched some clues, but they were too diffuse to be integrated.

Is there anything else that was overlooked?

Comics!

Conan suddenly thought of someone's speculation about the comic's author in the fan forum:

"He must have seen it with his own eyes, otherwise he couldn't have drawn these things!"

"A lot of things in it are true, really true!"

"There is no way Leon is just an ordinary person."

Originally, Conan just thought that as Ikaros, Kong Ge could find all kinds of secrets on the Internet, so he wrote those stories. But now thinking carefully, if a person has not experienced despair, it is impossible for him to cut such a cruel wound on his wrist.

So all the questions point to one thing, that is, Natsukawa Sora's past.

But...if it is really as I speculated, then if I ask him, I will undoubtedly open up the other party's wounds.

"What's wrong, Conan?" Morobushi Kagemitsu felt Conan's unignoring gaze beside him and asked.

"Nothing." Conan scratched his head and said, "I just didn't expect that Brother Kong could actually defeat two robbers."

"He's a very good fighter," Judy asked in confusion, "What happened?"

"My brother hasn't been feeling well lately." The boy's face darkened, and his somewhat sad tone made people give up their curiosity, but Morofushi Jingguang couldn't help but think of Noel's health again.

Still need to confirm it.

———

/Mr. Ikaros, the information you provided is too important. We hope to change the contact person to facilitate the operation. /

Noel, who was drawing comics at home, saw the message from the police, smiled, and replied:

/Can./

/My code name is [Zero]. I will be your contact person from now on. If you have any news, you can communicate with me directly. /

Noel stopped writing and looked at the message on his phone. It was as if he could see the serious look of the blond man through the text. He found it quite interesting. He leaned back in his chair and turned around a few times. Then he raised his phone and tapped the next sentence:

/Thanks for your advice, Zero/

———

Chicago, USA

The blond man looked at the message on his phone, pursed his lips slightly, and his expression was indeed serious, which was different from Bourbon's identity.

The gray-purple eyes stared at the other party's reply, and a hint of complexity flashed across them.

Since the police reached a cooperation with Ikaros, the investigation of the organization has made great progress, and even captured a codenamed member alive. From this point of view, further cooperation with Ikaros is naturally a good thing, but...

The man tapped the tabletop with his fingertips, thinking about integrating information from all parties.

But Ikaros himself is full of fog.

The police found out all of Ikaros's activities in real life and were shocked. It seemed that he was just a good person who liked to meddle in other people's business and talk to people everywhere, or collect evidence and report crimes like a hero. However, in the in-depth conversations between the police and some of them, they learned that the targets chosen by Ikaros were all victims who had murderous intentions or were in danger of being killed. He seemed to have expected it and appeared when they wanted to kill the most or were in the most dangerous moment, and then intervened to stop them.

However, there are exceptions. Many parties either are too obsessed or do not believe it, so they ignore it and it eventually develops into a murder case, without exception.

And if we infer from this that the things Ikaros intervened in were all situations where murder would have occurred, then Ikaros's control over intelligence and human hearts has reached a level comparable to prediction, which is enough to terrify the public security.

But this is only a possibility, and the image of Ikaros constructed based on this possibility is too terrifying. Therefore, most people in the public security department tend to believe that "the other party just likes to be brave and righteous or to meddle in other people's business." It just happens that a large number of these behaviors include some people who really want to kill people, while those other people will not do it even if they have the intention to kill. After all, this is the norm. How many people have wanted to kill someone from the bottom of their hearts but in the end it is just a thought. It is not so much that Ikaros is able to calculate the precursors of all murders, but it is better to say that the other party has cast a large enough net. This can also explain why murders have occurred even though they were not successfully prevented. After all, murderers who really want to kill are often more difficult to stop, and those who can be easily stopped should only be thoughts.

With this explanation, Ikaros is just a good guy with overpowered hacking abilities who has plenty of time to be willful, rather than a saint who can perfectly predict reality.

Ikaros had no clue about the confrontation with the organization. According to Dr. Chengshi's account of the Moon Shadow Island incident, Ikaros knew about the existence of the organization and was very jealous of it. Although the four drug dealers on the island did not succeed in preventing the death, they also exposed the organization's traces, and as a result, Grappa's family was punished...

Thinking of this, the blond man looked at the information from the organization again. The main task of hunting down Ikaros was given to Grappa...

Given Grappa's personality, he agreed to this mission because he seems to be very unhappy with Ikaros.

And apparently, Ikaros is here too.

The man looked at Tequila's confession sent by the public security department again. As a member of the organization, he had obviously received good anti-torture training, but he confessed everything about Grapa. It was obvious that Tequila was very resentful about the fact that he was arrested for the operation that was supposed to be led by Grapa.

Then this time, Ikaros sent a new document about an action of the organization.

Even I only have a rough idea of ​​this operation, although it is mainly because of my geographical restrictions in the United States, but it is amazing enough that Ikaros can investigate it so clearly.

The main codename members involved in this operation...

The blond man looked at one of the code names and fell silent.

Grappa again...

These three important actions of Ikaros are all related to Grappa. Although it should be easy for Ikaros to find out that Grappa was responsible for hunting him down with his ability, is this really the only reason?

The man went through all the information again, and his guess became more and more certain.

It is very likely that Ikaros and Grappa knew each other and had a grudge against each other.
