Conan sat in front of Haibara Ai, looking serious. His pair of deep blue eyes followed the girl like a shadow, forcing her to stop what she was doing and asked helplessly:

"Have you seen enough, Detective?"

"Haibara, tell me, how much do you know about Natsukawa Hikaru?" The detective's opening words made Haibara Ai feel inexplicably guilty. After all, she knew too much.

"I thought you should know that Xiaoguang is now at Officer Hagiwara's house." Haibara Ai changed the subject. Thinking of Morobushi Kagemitsu whom she met at her sister's flower shop yesterday, she felt really tired of helping to cover for him for so long.

However, to Ai Haibara's surprise, the detective suddenly took out a photo. It was a photo of Hagiwara Matsuda and Date. With gorgeous cherry blossoms in the background and the three faces looking slightly younger than they are now, it should have been a photo from five or six years ago.

"I went to ask Officer Sato, this photo is in the police academy yearbook, but don't you think it's a little strange?" Conan pointed at the three people in the photo and said, "The composition is very strange. The specifications of this photo are not the normal specifications of the camera. It should have been cut. There is also a shadow on Officer Matsuda's collar. There should be another person here..."

The detective made a lot of deductions and finally concluded: "This photo should have been this big. If it was this big, there should have been two more people in the shot, so that the photo would have a complete composition."

"Generally, those who suddenly disappear from police academies are on special missions, such as undercover." The detective said this with a serious and respectful look on his face. As a detective who has been dealing with the police since he was a child, he understands more and more how difficult it is.

"So what do you want to express?" Haibara Ai was used to the detective's sudden thoughts and asked directly.

"I suspect that Xiaoguang is the child, or brother, of Officer Hagiwara and his mysterious classmate!"

This is the conclusion Conan came to after sorting out his thoughts during this period, and then said: "And Norco is likely to have first met Xiaoguang's relatives in the organization, and then adopted him after encountering something."

It seems to make sense... Haibara Ai silently commented in her heart, but there was only one condition that was wrong, that is, Natsukawa Hikaru was not a child at all, but a man who was almost thirty years old.

But...Haibara Ai, who had already seen Morobushi Kagemitsu's original appearance, narrowed her eyes slightly and suddenly thought that maybe it was really possible that it was correct, but Natsukawa Mitsuru was not the so-called relative of the same period, but he himself was that period.

If that's the case, Noel, have you been looking for an undercover agent of the organization to take home and raise from the very beginning...

Suppressing the complicated thoughts in her mind, Huiyuan Ai suddenly heard the detective say:

"And you, Huibara, you must be hiding something from me too."

"I felt before that there was a special atmosphere between you and Norgo. Later I thought it was because you knew the identity of Norgo's grassroots members. Now it seems that it is more than that. Did you have any contact with Norgo in the organization?"

"Do you need me to tell you the truth directly?" Huiyuan Ai asked with a smile on her face, "Even though he will be very reluctant."

But for some reason, Haibara Ai really didn't want to help hide this terrible secret anymore, and her words at this moment didn't sound like a joke at all.

"Don't Norgo want me to know the truth?" Conan was stunned and asked.

"He really doesn't want you to know his true face." Haibara Ai snorted coldly when she thought of Noel's appearance.

"Really?" Conan recalled what the other party said on the beach that day, and said with a complicated expression: "But I don't think so."

"I clearly felt that he was inviting me, inviting me to see the final truth."

"So don't tell me, Huiyuan," the detective stood up and said, "I will take a closer look at his appearance myself."

———

"Lord Grappa!" Aingawachi excitedly showed the other party her results. The strong smell of blood in the interrogation room showed what she had done. Obviously, she was proud of it, and her very beautiful face was full of twisted happiness.

"Who are we going to kill next!" The woman was in a state of crazy admiration for Grappa. During this period of time when she was taken by Noel to carry out the mission, she was in an extremely excited state. Although Grappa's attitude was cold every time he killed someone, the other party always took her with him!

This special treatment made her feel it even though she was not in her right mind.

"Here are the next steps." Noel handed a bunch of mission-related reports to the other party. Facing the other party's incredulous look, Noel said, "If you want to climb up, just killing people is not enough."

Master Grappa is training me! Aingawachi thought complacently, thinking she understood what he meant, and forced herself to start reading the documents. Obviously, this process was extremely torturous, and she couldn't help but complain to people she knew.

A little lunatic in the organization was helping a big lunatic with paperwork. This matter quickly spread throughout the organization, and Bermode even picked a time to come over and ask:

"So you got one of these to write your reports for you?"

For a high-level code member of Vermode, although Aingawachi is quite famous among the lower-level members, it is useless for him to just kill people among the code members. Even Gin relied on his sensitive judgment of traitors, his ability to manage organizational affairs, and the indispensable loyalty to get to his current position, but to become a code member and a high-level member of the organization by killing people...On the surface, only Grappa has done it.

"Don't you think it's fun?" Noel raised the corners of his mouth under the loosely wrapped bandage, and said with a slight smile in his tone.

Vermouth thought back to the funny look on Anegaway's face as she held the documents in pain. If she really did this out of a desire to torture someone, it only meant that her student's brain was finally broken. But when she thought about the fact that he had a hobby of deliberately letting others tell him his tragic story, she actually felt that it made sense.

"So, for this reason, I found a 'lover' for myself."

The word "lover" sounded a bit ambiguous when spoken by Bermode. Apparently, the sensational rumors about the organization had already reached the ears of most of the senior executives. It was unknown what they thought, but it was indeed quite funny to Bermode.

But no matter what, this abrupt action has basically been nailed down in the rumors at the bottom of the organization as finding a lover, so that many departments have a vague attitude towards Aingawachi. After all, no one knows the importance of this lover in Grappana.

Noel did not answer the question directly. Instead, he tilted his head to look behind Bermode, at a woman dressed in a low-key manner, and said, "Teacher, please introduce the person behind you first."

"This is Kir. You will probably be working with her in the future, so why not get to know her?" Bermode introduced her with a smile, but the next sentence made Noel pause.

"Have pretty eyes? I think you'll like her."

Noel narrowed his eyes slightly at the suggestive words, and looked carefully at Keel's exquisite blue cat eyes. He then chuckled and said, "Blue eyes are indeed very beautiful. I think you like them too, Teacher."

Bermode smiled back, and the master and disciple seemed to be having a great time. Only Gil, who didn't understand what was going on, stood aside, helpless, and could only speak to break the delicate atmosphere.

"Grappa, I know you." The woman codenamed Keel, now known as Mizunashi Reina, has a pair of delicate upturned blue cat eyes, a black low ponytail tied behind her head with only a few curls left in front of her forehead, and a professional suit that makes her look clean and neat. If it weren't for the coldness of a member of an organization emanating from her body, she would look more like an urban beauty sitting in a high-end office.

Although it is true in a sense, after all, Rena Mizunashi's other identity is a well-known host of Nichima TV. As for her hidden identity... a CIA undercover or something, it is also a bottle of well-known spiked wine.

Mizunashi Reina naturally had no idea that the person on the other side already knew her most core secret. She simply introduced herself like an ordinary code member, and then looked seriously at this character who was at the top of the CIA's high-risk list.

Grappa is even more dangerous than Gin in the CIA's list. He has been lurking in the United States for a long time, and the damage he caused is horrifying just looking at the data. The FBI organized several operations against him, but they all ended in failure, but the CIA collected some strange data.

Judging from the frequency of Grappa's activities during that period, it seemed as if he had never been harmed by the pursuit and suppression of major mafia organizations and the FBI.

There are many speculations about these people in the bureau, and as an undercover agent, Rena Mizunashi receives an order to get in close contact with the opponent and collect some of the opponent's body tissues.

Putting away her thoughts, Mizunashi Reina looked at the strangely dressed man in front of her. He had been silent since Vermouth left. His gray-green eyes were looking at her without concealment, with inexplicably complicated emotions. He did not respond to Mizunashi Reina's words, but after looking at her for a while, he suddenly said, "Aikawa, come here."

Aingawachi, who was struggling with documents in the next room, heard the relief and ran over. Noel looked at the person who looked similar to Rena Mizunashi and introduced her in a slightly subtle tone:

"This is my subordinate, Aingawachi, you guys can get to know him."

Mizunashi Reina didn't think too much about it. She already had some understanding of Grappa and knew that the other party probably didn't want to show off his power. She knew Aikawachi in front of her even better, especially the recent rumors were simply overwhelming. However, the two of them didn't seem to be lovers at the moment...

Mizunashi Reina reported the code name, but Anekawa's expression suddenly became a little nervous, with a bit of hostility and jealousy. Grappa on the side turned a blind eye to this and simply added: "Anekawa will be in charge of some paperwork. If there is any action next, she will be brought along. You can get to know each other."

Then he turned and left, leaving the two women standing there confused and totally confused about what this Grappa was up to.

As Noel turned away, he looked at the text messages on his phone and suppressed the useless emotions in his heart.

The first step of the plan is to take advantage of the justice of the undercover lady...
