Chapter 448
"On a whim?"
"plan?"
"Chaldea has completely infiltrated the organization!?!"
Sure enough, when Edogawa Conan expressed his speculation, everyone present showed expressions of disbelief.
"Do you still remember Chaldea's promotional slogan?" Conan Edogawa asked everyone.
"Chaldea is an organization established to ensure the continued future of mankind." Mizuno Renna replied.
"So, I have an idea." Edogawa Conan raised his finger to everyone, "Chaldea is not an organization that was established in recent years. Their history may be so long that it spans the entire human history - they appeared to solve the problems in this world that may threaten the continuation of mankind."
"It's not that the target we are looking for is the Einzbern family who possesses the third magic, but Chaldea let us think that Einzbern is the target we are looking for."
"But why would Chaldea do this?" Akai Shuichi continued to think along the lines provided by Conan Edogawa, "If they were just trying to ensure the continuation of human history, there would be no need for Chaldea to disclose their existence to the world and pretend to be an ordinary international organization, right?"
"Perhaps they are trying to find a reason to gather together all the beings that will threaten the future development of mankind." Phantom Thief Kid played with the poker cards in his hand and glanced at Edogawa Conan with his peripheral vision. "From what I know, among the visitors invited by Chaldea this time, at least 50% of the names are their own secrets."
"Perhaps the list of 100 people is all from Chaldea's black box." Akai Mari speculated, "Assuming that there are ordinary people among the visitors who were selected, no matter how many there are, they can be considered unfavorable variables for Chaldea's action plan. In order to reduce the uncertainty of the plan, Chaldea should have determined the list of visitors according to their planning needs."
"On the surface it only appears to be decided by drawing lots."
"Do you know anything else, Kid?" Conan Edogawa asked the Phantom Thief Kid.
"The people of Chaldea said that Pandora did not appear in Chaldea because she could help Chaldea protect the future of mankind; she was controlled by Chaldea because she would threaten the future of mankind." The Phantom Thief Kid put away his poker cards and answered Conan Edogawa.
"In that case, Chaldea's past actions will become traceable." Edogawa Conan touched his chin and looked at the only MI6 present. "I'm afraid that Chaldea also infiltrated the organization for the same reason - but their actions started from MI6."
"According to Professor William, MI6 could be directly regarded as Moriarty's criminal group when it was first established."
"This is an irrefutable fact." Akai Mary nodded and explained to everyone, "And the predecessor of the FBI, the Pinkerton Detective Agency, is also related to Holmes and Moriarty. However, I don't think that Chaldea took the initiative to infiltrate the organization, but because the Moriarty family realized the danger of the organization, they participated in it when it was established."
"Chaldea has further infiltrated the organization based on the Moriarty family."
"Why?" Edogawa Conan asked Akai Mary.
"Because the power of MI6 has only returned to the Moriarty family in the past twenty years." Mary Akai replied, "Before that, MI6's records on the Moriarty and Holmes families were all that all family members had died, and there were no descendants in the legal or blood sense."
"In fact, the information about the establishment of MI6 was considered top secret even within MI6."
"Until the day Moriarty and Holmes reappear."
"In short, whether it was Chaldea who took the initiative to resurrect Holmes and Moriarty, or whether Holmes and Moriarty voluntarily joined Chaldea after their death-" Edogawa Conan concluded, "Chaldea followed the foundation of the Moriarty family's past infiltration of the organization and continued to push forward its infiltration of the organization."
"Then, considering the power shift within the organization, Moriarty and his team returned to MI6, perhaps because the situation in the organization had changed."
--Nearly twenty years ago, control of MI6 returned to the Moriarty family.
——Seventeen years ago, the organization's boss took control of the power that was scattered among the codename members.
"Come to think of it, it's strange that Moran was able to leave the organization alive." Akai Shuichi mentioned the MI6 sharpshooter, as if he had forgotten that he could be considered an undercover agent who escaped from the organization unscathed. "Even if Gin's skills are not as good as others, the other codename members in the organization are not just for show, right?"
"The Moriarty Group has become the de facto controller of the organization," concluded Rei Furuya. "We previously thought that the result of the organization's increased power seventeen years ago was that the boss had won a great victory, but the actual result may not be the case - perhaps because the boss realized that the organization had been infiltrated, he tried to take back the power he had once let go."
"What do you think the final outcome will be, Bourbon?" Shuichi Akai asked Rei Furuya.
"The final result should be that the Moriarty Group will take full control of the organization." Furuya Rei answered Akai Shuichi, "But because of the actions of the boss, they had to continue pretending, and ended the plan to uproot the organization directly - for example, Rum, who also had clear rumors of succession."
"But Gin has also changed generations, right?" Mizuno Renna objected. "If that's the case, why did Gin kill all the members of the Rum faction in the organization?"
——Gin is a BOSS faction. For those who are undercover in the organization, this is undisputed.
"It is because Gin killed all the members of the Rum faction that it can be proved that the Moriarti Group has taken control of the organization." Akai Mary spoke up to sort out the situation for everyone, "Moran's code name is Gin - although we are not sure what happened in the organization, there is no doubt that Gin is now a direct descendant of the Moriarti Group."
"No matter what Gin himself knows, he is a member of the Moriarty Group."
——Kill them all, leaving no one alive.
Mary Akai still remembers the case records about Jack the Ripper that she saw in the MI6 archives.
——The Moriarty Group’s style of work is equally brutal, so it’s not surprising that people who don’t know the situation would mistakenly believe that it was the work of the organization.
"Because Vermouth is dead." Furuya Rei told Mizuki Rennai the news. "Although Brandy and Gin didn't say much at the time, Vermouth knew that his power in the organization came from the trust of the boss, and it was impossible for him to take the initiative to do something that would cause the boss's dissatisfaction."
"I'm afraid that at that time, Bermode had already guessed that the boss was not the original boss."
"Then all the recent events can be linked together." Akai Shuichi and Edogawa Conan exchanged glances. "Because of Bermode's actions, the Moriarty Group, which originally planned to continue hiding, has accelerated the pace of its plan. Although it is not certain when they discovered the problem with Phantom Thief Kid, they are obviously prepared to solve the problem of the organization together."
"It was around this time that the Chaldea Research Institute began to appear in the public eye." Rei Furuya recalled the news reports since this period, "But even if we can determine the sequence of events that Chaldea had triggered before, what Chaldea wants to do now - or why they let the organization enter Chaldea, or what means they are going to use to solve these problems..."
"We can't be sure about that."
"But the strangest thing is that this research institute in Chaldea doesn't look fake." Phantom Thief Kidd put forward his thoughts while shuffling the cards, "If it was just to set a trap, Chaldea wouldn't have to go to this extent. All members of Chaldea can find corresponding life experiences..."
"Those are the identities prepared for them by MI6." Akai Mary crossed her arms and interrupted the words of the Phantom Thief Kidd, "But I agree with you. If it was just a trap, Chaldea would not have to go to this extent - so, I tend to believe that the Humanitarian Continuation Guarantee Agency Phoenix Chaldea is a real organization, and it is established in Antarctica."
"But, if Chaldea just wants to get rid of the organization..." Edogawa Conan fell into deep thought, "They shouldn't have let us come to Antarctica, right? And Chaldea is built deep in the snow-capped mountains at an altitude of 6,000 meters - if something really happens, not only will the members of the organization be unable to escape, we will also be unable to escape, right?"
At this moment, the Chaldean radio broadcast sounded.
"Notice, all Masters participating in this exercise, please assemble at the Chaldea Central Control Room."
"Visitors interested in Chaldea's exercises please go to the Chaldea Central Control Room.
Before the exercise was over, the Central Control Room and other work departments that were closed to visitors were unblocked and allowed visitors to visit.
"...Are you going?" asked Mizuki Rinna.
"I'm not going to the control room." Furiya Rei shook his head at Mizuki, then turned to ask the other members who were dragged into the meeting, "I want to go to the Chaldea Engineering Department to confirm some very important things - what about you guys?"
"I want to look around again." Edogawa Conan touched his chin with a serious look, "Also, although it's not good to say this, my intuition tells me that it's best not to go to the control room--"
"At this time, shouldn't you want to go to the control room even more!?!" Except for Akai Mary, all the members present who knew Edogawa Conan's true nature showed expressions of disbelief.
"Hey, after so many battles with the organization, I will also accumulate experience!" Edogawa Conan showed a speechless half-moon eye, complained to everyone, and walked towards the door of the Chaldea entertainment room, "Besides, there are still many mysteries in Chaldea that have not been solved - as a detective, I will not give up on solving these mysteries."
"I will find the answers to these unanswered questions before Chaldea realizes their plan."
