Chapter 148

Kudo's house.

Just like last time, Conan and Subaru Okiya were sitting opposite each other on the sofa in the living room, but they looked much more relaxed than last time. There were two fingerprint test reports on the table between them.

"Whether it is the fingerprints of Brother Xingchuan that were taken from the coffee shop a few days ago, or the fingerprints of Brother Xingchuan when he was a child that were accidentally obtained from the orphanage, they all match the fingerprints of Brother Xingchuan that the Metropolitan Police Department kept for record a year ago. So the result is already very obvious. Brother Xingchuan has not been replaced by anyone. He is the real person."

After being on tenterhooks for so many days, Conan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had already made a judgment before, he was not really relieved until he got the accurate fingerprint verification results. However, I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Conan actually felt that after getting the results, Akai Shuichi also looked like he was secretly relieved.

Conan thought, maybe Mr. Akai is also very concerned about the safety of Brother Hoshikawa. After all, Brother Hoshikawa has been in danger frequently recently, which is unprecedented misfortune.

First there was the poisoning case in the apartment, then there was the home robbery, and then there was the mysterious Baifu who targeted them. Now when I took time to go back to the welfare house on weekends, I encountered a poisoning case, and the murderer was the same person as the apartment poisoning case. What was even more unexpected was that the funding for the welfare house had been embezzled, and I also learned that it had been secretly monitored by a man named Nagata Ryo many years ago. I don’t know what conspiracy the other party has been planning in the dark.

"Nagata Ryo? I got some news. The culprit in the bomb threat incident in Beika-cho yesterday seemed to be called this name."

Okiya Subaru stroked his chin in thought.

"What? The incident in which Brother Xingchuan almost encountered a bomb was actually done by Ryo Nagata?"

Conan was shocked.

Because this bombing incident involved a wide range of people, and even involved the public security insider, the Metropolitan Police Department simply blocked the news. So Conan still doesn't know the specific situation until now, but Akai Shuichi, who is an FBI, got accurate information from his companions.

Conan's eyes widened, and he said impatiently:

"Didn't the news say that the police had solved the case? Did Mr. Akai know about Nagata Ryo's confession? Why did he do this?"

"Well, there's nothing we can do about that. It's said that when the police found him, Ryo Nagata was already dead. But as far as I know, a police laboratory was suddenly attacked, and a team of public security officers was dispatched. So I suspect that the incident caused by Ryo Nagata must be very complicated, and there may be other secrets hidden behind it. And their plan was interrupted by Hoshikawa and Akira, so there is a high possibility that there will be revenge specifically against Hoshikawa and Akira next."

Conan also lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Yes, Brother Xingchuan will probably be in a very dangerous situation next."

Akai Shuichi opened his dark green eyes, "It seems that I have to protect him secretly for a while, and take a look at his purpose in making such a big move this time."

Conan was startled and immediately turned to look at him, his expression shocked but also a little wary.

"Mr. Akai, are you planning to use Brother Xingchuan as bait to catch fish?"

Subaru Okiya smiled and pushed his glasses. "Don't worry, the FBI will certainly protect the safety of Hoshikawa and Akira."

Conan looked at him intently, and suddenly said, "This incident was actually the work of the organization."

Okiya Subaru's expression remained unchanged, still looking at Conan with a smile, "Why do you think so?"

Conan didn't get any feedback from him, but instead became more certain of his previous guess.

"Your main target as the FBI is the Black Organization. If this is really a dispute instigated by Japanese forces, you will not get involved but stay away from it and let the police handle it.

But this time, not only did you get the news right after it happened, you even took the initiative to get involved starting with Brother Xingchuan. This can only mean that you have received accurate information, and the bombing case involving Brother Xingchuan must have been the work of that organization."

Subaru Okiya once again opened his green eyes that belonged to Akai Shuichi and looked at Conan calmly. "Oh? Do you think so?"

Conan thought about what happened in the past two days, and suddenly an idea came to his mind:

"Could it be that you had already received intelligence about the organization's actions from Kiel, so after the bomb was discovered in advance, you immediately focused your attention on Xingchuan and Ming who had resolved the organization's actions?"

Conan looked at Akai Shuichi in shock, but this time Akai Shuichi just shook his head.

"No, that's the only thing you guessed wrong. The organization's action was highly confidential. Kiel only got some information by accident after the incident. He learned that Nagata Ryo, who planned to plant bombs everywhere in Tokyo, was actually a subordinate of the organization member Balvenie Whisky. As for the subsequent actions against the Metropolitan Police Department, Kiel didn't even get any useful intelligence."

"Even the internal members have to keep it secret to this extent?" Conan took a breath. "What exactly is the organization planning this time? If the confidentiality level is so high, it must be a very important operation. Since the final target is the police, it is no wonder that the public security was dispatched to deal with it. I just don't know how this matter was resolved in the end?"

Conan casually brought up the topic, but his eyes were fixed on Akai Shuichi's reaction. However, Akai Shuichi's reaction was no reaction at all.

Conan pouted in frustration, thinking that he would definitely go to Mr. Amuro to ask about the situation. Of course, it was very likely that he would not reveal anything. After all, the organization's action this time was so secretive that even if Mr. Amuro really knew, he would not be willing to let himself get involved.

That’s right! It’s a secret! Conan suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Akai Shuichi:

"Nagata Ryo participated in this plan, so he must have known something. So his death was definitely not an accident. It is very likely that he was not punished for the failure of the mission, but was silenced by the organization."

Shuichi Akai was somewhat puzzled by his reaction: "What's the difference between the two? The person is already dead, so we naturally can't get any information from him."

"uncertain!"

Conan smiled confidently, with a gleam in his eyes.

"According to my understanding of the welfare home incident, Nagata Ryo is very good at hiding behind the scenes to plot, even when it comes to killing people, he would choose to lure other people to do it for him. Why would such a person suddenly do something completely different from the past, not only personally taking part in the incident, but even being killed by the people organized by the organization to silence people after making such a big fuss?"

Akai Shuichi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sharp look flashed across his gaze. "You mean, his actions were not entirely of his own will? Was he forced to do it? And given his personality, he would definitely leave clues that he was coerced. So who could coerce him, Balvenie Whisky?"

Conan added: "It could be someone else. There could also be other situations, such as Ryo Nagata acting in anger in an emergency, or suddenly changing his mind for huge profits and taking action himself. In that case, there must be clues left behind in the chaos."

The next task is obvious. The investigation of the organization's actions needs to start with Nagata Ryo. The two looked at each other, and Conan was already excited for finally having the opportunity to participate in the investigation. However, Akai Shuichi suddenly put on Okiya Subaru's shy smile. The squinting eyes behind the lenses made Conan's heart jump, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

As expected, the next second, Okiya Subaru said gently but firmly:

"The next investigation task is the job of the FBI. Conan, as a carefree elementary school student, you still have classes tomorrow, right? It's better for you to hurry home now, and don't let Miss Lan wait anxiously."

Conan's mouth twitched as he watched, and he wanted to grab something and throw it at his face. Isn't this a little too fast to change his attitude? Can you please wake up, Mr. Akai? Look at whose house this is?

Conan was extremely depressed and wanted to grab something and throw it over to express his dissatisfaction. Then he was startled by the touch in his hand. He looked down and found that what he picked up was the fingerprint identification report that had been thrown on the table before.

That was because he had previously suspected that Xingchuan and Ming had their identities replaced by those of the organization, and that the person who replaced them might even be Baifu himself, which was why he had taken the trouble to collect evidence.

However, facts have proven that the person who attacked Hoshikawa's brother in the underground parking lot is most likely Balvenie Whisky. Hoshikawa Kazuaki is not only not a member of the organization, but is even a victim of the organization's conspiracy. He was first monitored by Nagata Ryo for many years, and later Balvenie Whisky came to his door and called for his death. In addition to this time...

Conan was suddenly shocked.

This is bad! Ryo Nagata is from Balvenie, which means that the other party has been eyeing Brother Hoshikawa for many years. Brother Hoshikawa just encountered an attack by someone suspected to be Balvenie in the underground parking lot, and now he has directly destroyed Ryo Nagata's plan, which is probably also the plan of Balvenie...

Oh no! Brother Xingchuan is in danger!
