Chapter 438

Although Holmes' rare vacation was not disturbed by the suspicion of Collis this time, as Conan Edogawa said when trying to excuse himself - it was the case that called the detective, not the detective who attracted the case - therefore, he was quarreled with by Conan Edogawa and the FBI next door in the late night when he was alone in the office.

——The little detective has two mobile phones, so it is normal for him to make two calls at the same time.

"...Edogawa-kun." Holmes, who had just sat up from the bed, took a deep breath and finalized the subsequent arrangements before Conan and the FBI agent disguised as a male college student spoke. "Let's see, should Okiya-kun go out in the middle of the night and come to our basement, or should I go out in the middle of the night and climb through the window of Kudo's house?"

"Forget about climbing through the window, Mr. Holmes." Conan Edogawa subconsciously refuted Holmes' proposal, but quickly reacted, "I don't believe that you don't have a communication tool to contact each other after reaching a cooperation - no, the Black Organization has captured Haibara, and I saw their submarine appear near Hachijo Island."

"They must have taken Huibara into the submarine."

"But as for submarines, it's better to let the US Army in Japan think of a solution." Holmes picked up his smoke guard, put on his Heroic Spirit Armor again in the dark room, and then hid the magnifying glasses that looked like spider legs. "I'm just a detective, Edogawa-kun - although you saw me at the headquarters of MI6, compared to those Holmes and Moriarty, I am indeed just an ordinary detective without any other special identity."

"No, I think that when it comes to Western European issues, the British might be more reliable than the Americans." Edogawa Conan sighed and began to share information with the two. "Mr. Amuro said that Gin was originally scheduled to enter the submarine tonight, but for some reason the time was changed. The specific time has not yet been determined, but what is certain is that Gin will not arrive in broad daylight."

"...The devil's time." Holmes slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and reminded Conan Edogawa, "So, is there any problem in Western Europe that I need to convey to the guys at MI6 to deal with?"

"Dusk, it's really a suitable time." Okiya Subaru commented meaningfully.

"I heard that MI6 has a sharpshooter who once went undercover in the organization and escaped unscathed." Edogawa Conan took a deep breath, suppressed his worry about Haibara Ai, and told the two of them what happened in the Pacific buoy before. "Yesterday, when the Metropolitan Police Department was taking statements from the suspected engineers, the Metropolitan Police Department received an email from MI6 signed by 'Q'."

"But it seems that due to encryption issues, the Metropolitan Police Department has not yet decrypted the true content of the email - so this email has been temporarily put aside by the police officers who are busy solving the case."

"What's the content of the email?" Subaru Okiya asked Conan Edogawa.

"I've made a note of it." Edogawa Conan pressed the send button, "It should have been sent to your mailbox by now."

As soon as Holmes opened the letter, he was stunned by the ciphertext that was so familiar to him.

"So, Edogawa-kun, what do you want to do with that sharpshooter?" Holmes dragged the email to the Chaldea system to automatically decrypt it. While hinting at Conan Edogawa, he continued to confirm another thing that Conan Edogawa was concerned about, "This email is made up entirely of '0' and '1'. It looks like the illusory electronic world in a science fiction movie."

“Maybe AI can decipher the true content of this email.”

"That has something to do with the backdoor in the Pacific Buoy system." Conan Edogawa looked at the dark ocean in the distance and recalled the situation at that time. "The Pacific Buoy's AI assistant Narcissa also found the area where the backdoor existed in the system at that time, but failed to find the engineer who set up the backdoor."

"However, we also learned the next target of the Black Organization."

"Mario Argente—they wanted to assassinate this member of the European Parliament."

"...Boy, the first level of decryption of the email is complete." Okiya Subaru looked at the line of letters he typed, and after a long pause, he called out to Edogawa Conan, "The content has been sent to you, but the subsequent decryption requires a corresponding key - the sender did not even leave a hint about the key in the email. The password should be a Virginia cipher."

Pinga is Grace——Looking at the results of the system decryption, Holmes fell into silence.

BwbtcifIvros——Edogawa Conan looked at the results obtained after Okiya Subaru made a preliminary decryption of the email and fell into deep thought.

"Try using MoonCancer as the key." Holmes put down his cigarette, opened the curtain and looked at the still-lit Kudo residence across the street. "I've sent you the specific spelling. Also, you should have met the sharpshooter today. The sharpshooter has been assigned to protect the director of Chaldea."

"Thank you, Mr. Holmes." Conan Edogawa began to decipher the code, while distractedly asking Holmes if there was any other plan to protect the safety of this congressman, "If Gin can't go, we don't necessarily need a highly skilled sniper to protect this congressman..."

"Gin definitely can't go to Europe to assassinate this congressman." Okiya Subaru answered Edogawa Conan firmly, "Although Amuro-kun always doesn't want to reveal the information he has, but judging from the frequency of his actions and the recent incidents in Beika Town, Gin probably hasn't left Japan for a long time."

"Another case has happened in Beika Town recently!?!" Conan said in surprise.

"Well, but I guess Amuro-kun has ordered the public security to suppress it - but this time they are likely to not be able to find any useful clues." Okiya Subaru answered Edogawa Conan, "Just today, a chef at the Iroha Sushi Shop in Beika was shot and killed, and then there was a sudden explosion at the scene. By the time the police arrived at the scene, the raging fire had completely engulfed the sushi shop."

"Mr. Holmes! Did you know that something like this would happen today!?!" Edogawa Conan recalled Sherlock's reminder to him before. While using Edogawa Conan's mobile phone to send an email to Amuro Toru to convey the various situations that happened today, he asked Holmes, "Mr. Sherlock told me before that 'Kenichi Oda' is the most problematic person..."

"He told you straight out that 'Kanenobu Oda' is Rum," Holmes pointed out calmly. "The reason he looked at you like that was because according to MI6's intelligence, the Black Organization was preparing to purge Rum's faction. It was said that it was because Rum had threatened the leader of the Black Organization, so Gin was given the task of destroying them."

"Sherlock's meaning at the time was that if you didn't believe it, you would soon hear about the guy's death - although 'Kenichi Suda' actually lived quite a while after appearing in Beika Town."

"Explosion? Arson?" Edogawa Conan frowned, and couldn't help but think of the explosion that happened in front of him last year, which prevented him from catching up with Miyano Akemi and learning more information about the Black Organization. "The Black Organization rarely uses this method to deal with aftermath, right? The only time I remember is when Miyano Akemi was killed by Gin..."

"Most of the assassins in the Black Organization are the type who only care about killing and not burying the bodies." Subaru Okiya paused and decided to explain the Black Organization's mode of action in person. "Generally speaking, there will be professional logistics members to take charge of the aftermath - the member code-named Brandy manages the aftermath members of the entire organization."

"Most code members only have ordinary members to take care of their aftermath, but it seems that Brandy has always been in charge of Gin's aftermath - I mean, Brandy was also in charge of the aftermath of the previous Gin. But there is no rumor that Brandy has been replaced - compared to Rum and Gin, who have clear rumors and facts within the organization, there is rarely news of replacement of other code members."

"The Black Organization usually uses sniper rifles to carry out assassinations, but there are exceptions among the codenamed members who are keen on causing explosions." Okiya Subaru recalled the time when he was still Lei, and his tone became subtle. "For example, the explosion you just mentioned, Conan-kun, there is a 99% chance that it was done by the member codenamed Champagne."

"What about the remaining 1 percent?" asked Conan Edogawa.

"It's either Merlot or Gin Rum." Subaru Okiya thought about the reputation of the codename members in the organization, and answered Edogawa Conan firmly, "These three are equally crazy in the organization. If there is anyone other than Champagne who likes to mess with bombs, who might be able to create an explosion and even dare to blow up Gin and Vodka together... it's definitely Merlot and Gin Rum."

"Although I have never met any of these three people - but if other members of the organization say so, then the probability of this thing being true increases a lot."

"Do these three members have the same easily identifiable features as Binga, Mr. Subaru?" Edogawa Conan tapped on his mobile phone keyboard to comfort Amuro Toru, who was unable to join the late-night conference call due to circumstances. While asking Okiya Subaru, he also sent his own questions to Amuro Toru at the same time.

"None at all." Subaru Okiya, who had left the Black Organization several years ago because of his exposed identity, replied, "Mello and Gold Rum are often mentioned by others in the organization together with Bermode and Bourbon, but their appearance is more mysterious than Rum, who is at least confirmed to have one eye - but Champagne is even more mysterious. Apart from the rumor that he likes to tinker with bombs, no other information has been revealed."

"...Mr. Subaru." Edogawa Conan looked at the long message Amuro Toru sent him and fell into an indescribable silence. "Did you really know Mr. Amuro when you were in the organization?"

"What's the matter, boy?"

"Nothing, it's just that Mr. Amuro has some information about these three codename members."

"...I'll say it again, Bourbon is an intelligence agent of the organization. He has not been exposed yet. It's normal for him to know more about the organization than me, boy."

"I know, Mr. Subaru."
