Chapter 243

Shuichi Akai never thought that one day he would receive a message for help from Scotland, a former member of the organization and now an undercover public security agent, Morofushi Kagemitsu.

The other party claimed that one of his very important subordinates was being hunted by Gin, and he himself had a very important mission and could not get away for the time being, so he asked him to take a sniper rifle and immediately go out of the way to help rescue the person.

Akai Shuichi's first reaction was: Impossible!

He and Scotland had worked together temporarily in the organization for a period of time, so he knew Scotland's character very well. She was a gentle person who didn't want to trouble others by nature, and she was also a very principled person.

From their attitudes during their last meeting, we can tell that Scotland still clearly distinguishes between the two organizations. He would not ask himself, an FBI undercover investigator who is already on the opposite side, to come to the rescue of his subordinate who is carrying out public security tasks without any additional conditions, just because he is temporarily tied up. Scotland is not that familiar.

But the strange thing is that the mobile phone number used to send the email is indeed the mobile phone number that Scotland used when he was a temporary partner three years ago. And with Scotland's ability, if someone could snatch his mobile phone safely from his hands without him destroying it on the spot, Akai Shuichi would be the first to not believe it.

Unless Scotland handed over the phone on purpose, or the person who stole the phone was Bourbon.

So, who is the person who sent this message? Is the request for help in this message real?

However, since a life was at stake, Shuichi Akai certainly would not reject the request for help simply because of a suspicion without any evidence. He immediately contacted a colleague of the FBI in Japan who was good at network technology and retrieved a large amount of surveillance footage of the address provided in the message for verification. It was at this time that Conan sent the request for help.

After completing the FBI mission, Shuichi Akai drove towards the hotel he had agreed to meet with Conan, so he naturally agreed to Conan's request. However, immediately afterwards, FBI colleagues discovered traces of an organized hunt for someone from traffic surveillance.

Since the manhunt is true, Shuichi Akai is willing to take a gamble and bet that the person being hunted is indeed related to Morobushi Kagemitsu.

After quickly assessing the urgency of the situation on both sides, he decisively chose to take a detour to snipe Gin's pursuit, and sent a message to Conan, asking him to delay for as long as possible. Then Akai Shuichi rode his Zetsu towards the location where Tadahiko Nishizono was at the time in Morobushi Kagemitsu's call for help.

In the corridor of the hotel banquet hall, the police officers who were investigating the scene soon discovered the incongruity at the crime scene. This was also thanks to Conan's reminder at the beginning. Unfortunately, Conan stopped talking later, which made the police officers in charge of investigating the scene a little regretful.

"What? It was discovered that the restroom was most likely not the first crime scene? A small amount of the deceased's blood and fingerprints were also found in another lounge next door?" Inspector Megure shouted in shock at the police officer in charge of the on-site investigation.

Hearing this, Shota Uemura's face suddenly turned extremely ugly. He turned his head sharply, trying to find someone in the crowd, but soon he suddenly seemed to think of something and immediately looked away. His face turned pale, and there was even a look of fear in his eyes.

"Yes, yes, Officer Megure. And according to our previous investigation, the other lounge where traces of the deceased were found happened to be the lounge where the current head of the Kamimura family, Shota Kamimura, once stayed." The police officer was frightened by the cold face of his superior, but still insisted on finishing his words.

It's not easy to say. This is the first time that the technical personnel responsible for on-site investigation have found new clues independently without the command of the detective and relying solely on investigation technology. Moreover, if this new clue can be connected with other evidence, it may directly overturn the previous idea of ​​solving the case.

This was truly an amazing on-site investigation! The police officer in charge of the on-site investigation puffed out his chest with pride.

Inspector Megure led his men to another room which might be the scene of the first crime. The lounge soon returned to silence. In the end, apart from the reporter who was still sitting on the sofa, only Hoshikawa, Akira and Amuro Toru remained in the lounge.

Xingchuan and Ming suddenly felt a little depressed in the lounge. They were about to leave with the others to check out the situation at another crime scene, but a figure suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki's heart sank. They finally came! It seemed that this was indeed a trap that the organization had prepared for them. Then, it was time for them to coerce and lure them, right? This was also a stage to test their acting skills.

Fortunately, after such a long period of training, my acting skills have been improved again, and they are definitely enough to deal with the organization. Moreover, the script the organization has provided this time is not that brilliant if I look at it according to my own standards, and it is easy to guess what will happen next. Therefore, the person who will play against me next should be——

Amuro Toru! It's you after all.

Seeing that Hoshikawa Kazuaki had indeed stopped, Amuro Toru retracted his hand in front of him, but he did not intend to retreat. However, his originally smiling face suddenly turned cold, and he said to him in a cold tone that Hoshikawa Kazuaki had never heard before:

"You want to leave now? Hoshikawa Kazuaki, don't tell me you didn't find anything just now. I'm very disappointed with your reputation as a mystery manga artist."

Amuro Toru's sneer was filled with obvious malice, and his soft purple eyes seemed to be filled with bottomless darkness. His words were like a frosty steel knife, piercing into Hoshikawa Kazuaki's heart without mercy, causing Hoshikawa Kazuaki's face to reveal a look of hurt and pain as if he had been betrayed.

Xingchuan Heming also immediately entered the performance state. He seemed to be unable to bear the evil aura around Amuro Toru anymore, and staggered back two steps, but suddenly a cold and hard object hit his back.

It's a gun!

Xingchuan Heming obviously realized this immediately, his face turned pale, and big beads of sweat slid down his forehead.

The female reporter stood up from the sofa at some point, holding a small ladies' gun in her hand, and leaned against Hoshikawa Kazuaki's back, and said to Amuro Toru with a smile: "Don't be so fierce, Bourbon, our little guest is still a minor." However, her ridicule only resulted in a disdainful snort from Amuro Toru.

Xingchuan and Mingyun froze for a moment. He looked at Amuro Tooru with an unbelievable and sad look, and said tremblingly: "Brother Amuro, you were joking with me just now, right?"

However, Amuro Toru ignored his question and glanced at him with boredom. He continued with a cold and malicious tone and said straight to the point:

"Don't dream. To make a long story short, your mother is an experimental subject of our organization, so from the moment you were born, you were destined to continue to serve the organization. We are now inviting you to join, but if you don't know what's good for you, then we can only use some extraordinary means. Of course, you are a smart person and should know what choice is best for you. So, make a decision quickly. Are you going to follow us obediently later, or are you going to taste blood first and then be put into any box and taken away by us?"

In Bermode's eyes, Hoshikawa Kazuaki quickly calmed down after listening to Toru Amuro's words. He no longer tried to impress Toru Amuro with words, but looked around first, then took a deep breath, and asked in the calmest tone possible:

"So, today's murder was also the work of your organization? If I don't agree to your demands, you will frame me as the murderer? Miss reporter behind me, the most crucial testimony is in your hands. So from the moment I accepted the interview, I have fallen into your trap?"

"Hahaha, you're really a smart kid. No wonder Bourbon thought that if he told you the reason directly, you would make the right decision on your own."

Hoshikawa Kazuaki took the opportunity to ask, "Bourbon? Is this Mr. Amuro's code name? Then what about you, Miss Reporter? How should I address you?"

"You can call me Bermode." Behind Xingchuan and Ming, Bermode showed an amused expression and said with a smile:

"As for this case, I'm sure you've already guessed it. The real murderer is actually the new head of the family, Shota Kamimura. However, his value to the organization is limited, so the organization plans to deprive him of his status as the new head of the family and give it to you to inherit.

As long as Bourbon and I produce evidence at the same time, Shota Uemura will have no choice but to surrender the Uemura family as a murderer. And you will get wealth and power that you can't imagine, and inherit your father's code name and identity in the organization. Of course, the condition is that you must join the organization."
