Chapter 96 The Ending [VIP]
As Cheng entered, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Furuya Rei and Morofushi Kagemitsu were observing at the end of the corridor. They seemed to have already noticed Yoshioka Yuuki. According to Yuichi, this person was very strong and a threat to them, so they needed to keep an eye on him first.
Yuichi had already created a drug that could resist the experimental subjects researched by Cecil. Furuya Rei and Morofushi Hiromitsu also had it. As soon as they noticed any abnormality in Yoshioka Yuki, they would inject the drug and capture him alive.
Cheng You's back was disguised as Shinichi Kudo, who looked about eight-tenths like Yagami Kamizan. He had several features from the photo, enough to fool Cecil.
Pushing open the door, Cheng You saw a blond man sitting in the main seat. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Cecil.
He didn't say anything and casually sat down opposite Cecil, while Kudo and Yuichi also sat down casually.
Cecil carefully observed the two people next to Cheng You, and they did indeed bear some resemblance to the photos he had given him.
"Mr. Li Hua keeps his promises, but where is Cheng You, whom I'm looking for?"
Cheng smiled and said, "Of course I'm here, but we need to talk about cooperation first."
"Ha, what's there to talk about if we don't bring the person with us?!" Cecil said, getting up to leave.
"Crack—" The sound of a bullet being chambered. Cecil turned around and saw Gin and Kujo Kosuke both pointing guns at him.
Cecil: "Is this your attitude towards cooperation?"
Cheng You maintained his smile: "What do you think I'm going to do?"
Cecil sensed a hint of danger in the other person's smile. He was conflicted, and the situation remained deadlocked.
Cecil received a call from his assistant, Yoshioka Yuki.
Cheng nodded: "Answer it quickly, then put it on speakerphone."
Under the threat of two guns, Cecil answered the phone and put it on speakerphone. The voice on the other end said, "Boss?! Run! Someone's after me!"
He stopped agonizing over it and his desire to leave had already taken hold.
"You've partnered with the Red Team?!" He looked at Cheng You with anger.
Cheng nodded, a sly smile on his face: "Hmm... It's not accurate to say that I'm cooperating with the Red Team. Actually, I am one of the Red Team's people."
Cecil dropped his pretense, his expression suddenly turning sinister.
Cheng You received a text message from Rei Furuya: [Tomoki Yoshioka is carrying a bomb! Cecil might also be carrying one! We've contacted the demolition team; stall them.]
He frowned. Cecil really wanted to die together with him?! Would someone as arrogant as him really want to die like this?
Perhaps the more arrogant a person is, the less they can accept their own failure.
Under Cheng You's gaze, Cecil opened his coat, revealing the bomb strapped to his waist and a remote control in his hand. He laughed maniacally, "I don't mind if you die with me!"
Cheng squinted, trying to calm the person in front of him: "Do you really want to die with us?"
Cecil ignored those words: "Where's Cheng You?! Get Cheng You out here to see me!"
"Oh, so you want to see Cheng You?" Cheng nodded and stood up from his chair.
Step by step, Cecil approached, a flicker of fear crossing the other man's eyes: "What are you doing?! Don't come any closer!"
Cheng You walked up to Cecil, the two of them only a fist's distance apart. Suddenly, he tore off the disguise on his face, revealing his true appearance.
Cecil froze on the spot: "You...you are—Cheng You!!"
While he was in a daze, Cheng You grabbed the remote control and threw it to Shinichi Kudo.
Under the shocked gazes of Gin and Kujo, he used a set of grappling techniques on Cecil, who was still in shock, and finally handcuffed him.
He didn't forget to smile at Gin and Kujo.
Cecil came to his senses to find his hands already handcuffed, and another pair of handcuffs binding him to a table leg.
"Are you kidding me?!"
Cheng nodded: "bingo, you guessed right."
Cecil sneered, "Cheng You, if you're willing to come back to the research institute with me, you'll only become stronger than you are now."
Cheng said, "Have you forgotten? I'm on the Red Team."
Cecil had completely lost hope, but he still wanted to try one last time: "You think you can't do anything just because you have the remote control?"
"Then tell me, what other ideas do you have?"
Cecil: "There's a remote control in the hands of someone at the research institute. I let him know I'm safe every fifteen minutes. If I don't receive a message for more than fifteen minutes, he'll detonate it remotely."
“Wow, that’s scary.” Cheng replied perfunctorily. He walked over to Cecil, searched him, and took out his phone. “Oh, you might not know, but this guy—” he pointed to Kujo Kosuke, “is a very skilled technician.”
Cheng handed Cecil's phone to Kujo Kosuke, who then hacked into Cecil's phone and sent messages to Cecil's subordinates in the air.
Suddenly, Cheng You remembered something and said in a light tone, "Oh, that's not right."
Seeing this, Cecil felt a glimmer of hope rise in his heart.
Then, Cheng's casual words extinguished the flame of hope that had just been ignited in him.
"The research institute headquarters has been wiped out by the FBI and the police. I just received news that Akai said he snatched a bomb button from someone."
"You?!" Cecil's eyes flashed with malice, but at this moment he had no ability and no chance to turn the tide; all his actions were born of impotent rage.
Finally, the bomb squad arrived and carefully removed the bombs from Cecil and his assistant, who were already bound hand and foot.
After Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji finished dealing with everything, they found Furuya Rei and Morofushi Kagemitsu and asked, "Is this all you guys are usually busy with?"
Zhu Fujingguang nodded.
Matsuda Jinpei remarked, "This guy is so abnormal. He kept muttering something in my ear while I was defusing the bomb. He's a lunatic."
Rei Furuya laughed, "It's finally over."
Cheng You came out of the room and was talking to Kudo Yuichi.
Matsuda Jinpei greeted them and noticed that the boy next to Cheng You looked familiar: "Hiss, is this the famous detective Shinichi Kudo?"
Shinichi Kudo smiled.
Matsuda Jinpei: "It's been a long time since I've seen you. But Conan, that kid who's always with Detective Mouri, is involved in almost every case. So you two really do look alike."
Cheng You and Youyi stepped aside and quietly watched Kudo Shinichi.
Shinichi Kudo scratched his head and laughed: "Hahaha, that's a distant relative of mine, but he went home not long ago, since Beika Town wasn't safe those few days."
Matsuda Jinpei nodded: "Indeed, that kid is too naughty." Turning his head, he noticed the unfamiliar boy next to Cheng You, "Hey, this guy looks a bit like that little brat Yuichi next to you."
"Huh?" Cheng You, who was watching the show from the side, suddenly paused. "Him? He's Youyi's older brother, my, uh, distant cousin. Youyi's home too, hahaha."
"Oh, I see." Matsuda Jinpei didn't dwell on the matter, but instead asked the others, "Shall we take Sergeant Date out for a meal?"
Cheng smiled and said, "You guys go ahead and have a good get-together. My friend and I are going home first." They still needed to go to the Public Security Bureau to pick up Yagami for his report, otherwise he would still be living under Akai Shuichi's surveillance. They also needed to discuss future matters with the organization.
Shinichi Kudo also waved and left.
After cleaning up the mess, Gin and Kujo came out and were shocked to see Bourbon and the already dead Scotland.
Gin followed Cheng You away and asked, "Scotland didn't die?" At this point, he was certain that the few capable people in the Black Organization were all undercover agents of the Red Team, and that these agents had even infiltrated the organization. Even the supposedly dead Scotland had survived.
Cheng nodded: "That's why I say, don't underestimate the red team. Justice will prevail."
They went to the Public Security Bureau and Ye Shen Shangcan to tell them that the people who were chasing Cheng You had been caught by the police and that he could go home safely.
On his way out of the police station, Yagami noticed Cecil, a prisoner being escorted by the police, and felt that the prisoner looked somewhat familiar.
Cheng noticed his micro-expressions and asked, "What's wrong?"
“He…” Yagami Kamisama frowned slightly.
Cheng knew that the matter concerning the research institute had always been a knot in Yagami's heart. Although he had no memory of it, everything was in his subconscious.
He smiled slightly and said, "Him? It's said that he killed an FBI couple twelve years ago, right in front of their child. Recently, for some unknown reason, he was hunting me down. Now, he has been punished by justice."
When Yagami heard about the FBI couple, his eyes flickered slightly: "Oh, I see."
That night, Yagami went online to the Grey Fox Assassin Dark Network and found many posts talking about the Japanese Yakuza.
It is said that many disobedient organizations have been arrested by the police and the FBI.
"That's right, all the organizations that are still around have been summoned by the police to sign agreements."
[Upstairs, what agreement?]
It's a secret, I dare not say.
[It's said that there are quite a few people on the red team on this website.] This post was deleted by the administrator just two seconds after it was published.
[Secret? Why wasn't I called over?]
[It's said they only invited the organization's top leader and a few senior managers. Otherwise, with so many people in our industry, it would be too much trouble.]
My God, this industry is about to change.
[Upstairs, what's changed? People joined this industry out of a sense of righteousness. Because of what the Black Organization and the research institute did, this industry has become a stinking ditch, hated by everyone. Now, with rules and regulations, this is what this industry should be like. We value morality and friendship, not fighting and killing all the time.]
[The person upstairs has already ordered. I still prefer the original form of this industry.]
Yagami was so engrossed in reading that he scrolled through many posts and replied, but something in his heart was already loosening, crumbling, and disappearing.
He sent a message to Shuichi Akai, saying that he would no longer investigate the yakuza and had no intention of joining them.
He said he wanted to continue his studies and that he wanted to get into a police academy.
After discussions between Ryuzaki Chengyou and the Public Security Headquarters, it was decided to conduct ideological education and labor reform on the Black Organization and the people in the research institute.
Because of Gin and Kujo's abilities, they were able to disperse and manage various organizations.
The police also provided them with ideological education courses and conducted unscheduled inspections.
All organizational information, developments, and follow-up actions are reported to Rei Furuya and Kagemitsu Morofushi.
After handing over the Dongfang Bubai Pavilion to Takeda Ryosuke and the Black Organization to Gin, Cheng You resumed running his dessert shop once he had nothing else to do.
Zhu Fujingguang and Jiang Guling frequently visit.
"Ring ring—"
The wind chimes on the door swayed slowly as the door was pushed open, and Cheng You smiled as he looked at the person who came in.
This is not the humility and nervousness of the past, but rather hope and trust.

Bonus: The crime rate in Beika Town is still so high.
One night in Beika Town, police sirens blared in the distance. Cheng You and You came home from work, and Cheng You couldn't help but complain, "Although there are no major threats anymore, the crime rate in Beika Town is still too high."
Before he could finish speaking, a dark figure suddenly darted out, grabbed Cheng You by the neck, and pulled out a knife to threaten You Yi: "When the police come to arrest me, you'd better point them in the opposite direction, or I'll kill your friend."
Yu said expressionlessly, "You're really unlucky."
The prisoner didn't understand what the sentence meant. In that moment of hesitation, Cheng delivered a back kick, followed by an elbow strike that knocked the prisoner unconscious.
When the police arrived, they successfully took the criminal away.
Takagi Wataru looked at Cheng You. He recognized the man; he had a good relationship with several elders and had often seen him at crime scenes.
"Mr. Cheng has helped us catch the criminal again. Thank you so much."
Cheng smiled and said, "I just helped out on my way off work, so you guys should go home early too."
I've lost count of how many fugitives I've encountered on this road.
The next day, a murder almost occurred at the dessert shop in Nanbei Lane. Fortunately, Cheng was able to read minds and discover the culprit's thoughts, saving the victim just as the murderer was about to kill.
They successfully sent the murderer to prison, saved the victim, and prevented their shop from becoming a haunted house.
On the contrary, the store manager's strong abilities attracted a large number of customers.
However, the longer they stayed in this place, the more murders occurred in the dessert shop, but each case was organized by Cheng.
Over time, the rumor spread that the dessert shop in North-South Alley was blessed by the gods, and some murderers who wanted to kill would not choose to go there.
The dessert shop is indeed safe now, but the police are busy again.
