[ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: No, 2, you're with Conan, aren't you? Lead him to the warehouse area on the street beside you and check if there's any white car with the plate XXXXX 12345 (A/N: I made this plate up, similarities are coincidences).
High School Student [2]: Huh? Ok.
Public Security Officer [5]: Are you also involved in this case, no. 1?
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: You can say so.
Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: What case?
Megumi Aiko [4]: Serial murder live broadcast case…. I'm on my way to the scene in person… how did you find out the internal information from the police, No. 1?
Corrupted FBI [8]: It's a bit far away.
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: Hmm, is it the live broadcast of the police officer being killed? I'm watching it right now.
University Student [6]: Wait, you can bear to watch such a thing, no. 3?
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: …No. So I'm not really watching but my persona required me to watch. (As in… logging in and showing him being online)
Doctor [9]: That's not far away from me. I'll come over and see if I can help.
Public Security Officer [5]: Your ability will be very helpful after the case is over. Do you have any martial arts related skill, no. 9?
Doctor [9]: No, this body is a bit weak. I won't be able to help much.
Journalist [12]: I'm reporting a different matter nearby. Let me see if I can help out.]
…
Everyone was trying to do what they could within their limitations. After all, they were not like Conan who liked to delve into danger without any sort of preparation whatsoever.
If one had to say, Conan is really reckless.
If it's not because of his smart brain and also his own luck, he would not have survived for such a long time.
Kayama Ichiro, No. 2, had already found Conan and found some excuses to stay. When he heard no. 1's order, he was actually confused.
But No. 1 is the real leader of their group.
…This leader never truly acted like a leader, though.
He pretended to take out his phone and looked at Conan warily. "I have something to do, so see you later, brats~."
Conan was immediately alert.
He had been suspicious of Kayama Ichiro for a long time.
Of course, he didn't suspect that Kayama Ichiro was part of the Black Organization but suspected that this man was involved in some illegal activities. Unfortunately, he couldn't find any evidence so far and reporting it to the police wouldn't be of much use.
Now that he heard how perfunctory Kayama Ichiro's excuse is, he had another reason to follow behind the other party!
Kayama Ichiro could be said to know Conan's temperament very well.
Besides, it would be suspicious if he suddenly invited Conan out, so he had to think of other ways to bring this brat out.
The best method was simply to make him suspicious.
While this would make his future transaction even more difficult, but Kayama Ichiro didn't care too much. As long as Conan didn't have any evidence in hand, Kayama Ichiro would never admit the intelligent trade that he had been doing over the years. (Actually, just a few months)
He had been staying low lately.
And perhaps doing this could make Conan less suspicious of him.
"Haibara, can you…." Conan looked at Haibara Ai and hoped that she could lead the other children further away. He didn't know what Kayama Ichiro was involved in and didn't want to drag them into it.
"I know." Haibara Ai walked to the other children and dragged them to Professor Agasa's house, saying that he would show them his latest invention.
Without the detective boys making trouble, Conan rushed at the fastest speed possible to chase after Kayama Ichiro.
Well, Kayama Ichiro's physical strength was really weak.
It didn't take long for him to pant after jogging a bit.
'Even though I'm still young, but I'm really weak…' Kayama Ichiro lamented in his heart as he looked at the street that No. 1 mentioned.
He was still looking at the chat where No. 5 basically told them about this case and so on. No. 4 was going over with the other police officers, but it would still take them a few more minutes.
Time is of the essence.
Someone is being brutally murdered right now.
"Found it." Kayama Ichiro found the car and immediately sent the picture to their chat group.
…
[ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: Can you find out which warehouse they took the person in? If you can't, then just wait for the police to arrive and don't do anything unnecessary.
High School Student [2]: Huh? Why did you want me to bring Conan, then?
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: To avoid your death.
High School Student [2]: …
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: Pfft.
University Student [6]: Hahahaha! Are you that weak, no. 2?
High School Student [2]: I might not have strong martial arts, but I wouldn't seek my death either!
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: Your opponent is a transnational criminal organization no less than the Black Organization. Their goal is entertainment and many people have been brutally murdered all over the world. Even I don't dare to confront them head on carelessly.
High School Student [2]: ….I'm sorry for doubting you, no. 1!]
…
Kayama Ichiro felt chills from the bottom of his heart when he heard no. 1's words.
He could guess that the other party sent him over for the sake of confirmation, but he didn't want him to be in danger.
The reason to bring Conan was naturally for the 'protagonist' halo in him.
While it might not seem to be that reliable, it was better than nothing.
At least, it did make him feel a bit safer.
'But I don't want to do nothing.'
Kayama Ichiro walked to the car and held the car's back. A lot of images appeared in his mind as his face turned pale.
He saw where this car has been, including the kidnapping that had happened.
For a full 24 hours, he knew what had happened.
The images are mostly fragmented, but it's enough.
Even though he only saw one person, Kayama Ichiro felt chills on his back no less than when he was facing Gin when he was still in the organization.
Now, he understood why no. 1 didn't dare to act rashly.
…
[High School Student [2]: Warehouse no. 4. I don't know whether they're still inside or not.
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: Thank you, you may retreat now, no. 2.
High School Student [2]: Tsk, I know.]
…
Kayama Ichiro wiped his fingerprints and then turned around, intending to leave.
But at this moment, he heard footsteps and his expression tensed up. It was not the footsteps of children, but that of adults.
Who is it?
"Over here, Kayama Kun."
Conan suddenly came from behind Kayama Ichiro and pulled him to the alley on the side.
Kayama Ichiro's body was tense and he looked at Conan beside him. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm looking at what you're planning to do." Conan sneered.
He followed Kayama Ichiro here and found him standing behind the car. While he was confused about what the other party wanted to do, he found someone walking down and his eyes immediately noticed that he was carrying a gun.
Knowing that it's dangerous, Conan planned to hide and then he saw Kayama Ichiro looking so nervous.
So he dragged the other party over.
"I'm checking some information… there's a murder happening right now," Kayama Ichiro said through gritted teeth.
Conan's eyes widened. 'Where?'
"Don't act rashly! They're all perverted criminals." Kayama Ichiro held the back of Conan's clothes, preventing him from rushing over like an idiot.
