"James, what's so urgent?"

Judy Stelin, who hurried back to the FB1 gathering point after sending Conan to school after the reroute, had a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

Leaving the usual trajectory of life rashly is very difficult for any agent who wants to hide his identity to accept.

If there is no reasonable explanation, even the old boss James Blake, she will definitely complain a few words.

"I managed to become an English teacher that my students loved." Handing over the phone, Judy again secretly pointed out that this summons would most likely expose her.

James Blake, who had a kind face, smiled bitterly and said seriously, "Judy, it is indeed a very important matter to hand you back this time. ”

"Okay, I see."

Seeing the solemnity in James's eyes, Judy nodded and walked into the room.

Closed doors and windows, thick blackout curtains, and almost no sunlight in the attic, the fan of the server case hummed.

"Judy, you're here!" The vicious-looking veteran driver, Andre Kamel, stood up from the bench in front of the surveillance screen.

Judy smiled and nodded, kind of said hello.

James pointed to the bathroom next to him, and the three of them walked in tacitly.

Bang!

The wooden door of the bathroom, which seemed to be somewhat rotten, made a heavy muffled sound when it was closed, and the sound of the fan outside the house was also cut off.

James first took out the mobile phone and let the two of them look at the sign with no signal above before he spoke:

"The core cadres of the organization, codenamed Ginjiu, have now become the heads of the armed groups secretly cultivated by the police, and on this basis, I made a request for negotiation yesterday, but the public security authorities rejected my application, and I suspect ......."

"The police have been completely controlled by the organization?" Judy was surprised, "It's impossible, even if everyone else is bought, as long as those people are still around, this kind of thing won't happen." ”

"That's right." Andre nodded and agreed, "There are still a lot of backbone guys in the police, and I don't think this kind of thing will happen." ”

"No, I didn't mean that." James waved his hand and signaled the two of them not to worry, "Gin's criminal evidence has always been a secret of the Investigation Bureau, and the police have not had information in this regard, so my judgment is ......"

James Blake paused slightly, seemingly in a habitual moan, but Judy could tell from his slightly upward gaze that the other party was actually reminiscing.

[After not being on the front line for a long time, James's skills have regressed a lot. Judy muttered to herself, but didn't pierce the other party.

James continued, "It may be that someone has already reached a cooperation with some people in the police and wants to use the power of the police to increase the conflict within the organization. ”

"Huh?" Faced with the judgment of his boss, the old driver Andri was directly stunned.

Someone cooperates with the police and uses the power of the police to split the organization?

He had just finished reading the documents and information given by James, why couldn't he see such clues at all?

Why can James give such a 'jump' judgment?

This is not like what his 'duty' boss can do, but more like ......

"Shuichi told you, James?" Judy continued by his name, "It must have been Shuichi who secretly investigated something, but he couldn't tell all the information for the time being, so he entrusted you to convey it to us, right?" ”

"Uh...... No, there is no such thing, it's just my own judgment. James stroked his beard with some embarrassment.

Judy immediately rolled her eyes.

Andre nodded abruptly - it's Shuichi, that's fine.

"Ahem, anyway, he ...... In my judgment, this is a very dangerous plan, after all, this is not exactly our territory, in order to ensure the safety of the agents, I decided to call this branch ...... Temporary holiday! ”

"Holiday? Are you kidding!? Judy said dissatisfied, "James, you go and tell him that we don't need his protection, even if Ben becomes a war zone, we won't stop what we do, right!" Andre? ”

"Uh......"

Andrei, the old driver, scratched his cheeks a little embarrassed, thinking to himself, I haven't drunk authentic Americano for a long time, and I was going to use this vacation to find a good place in Tokyo......

“…… I can do it all. ”

"Look, Andrei doesn't agree to take a vacation either!"

“……”

The corners of James and Andre's mouths twitched at the same time, and at the same time, they both understood that the reason why Judy did not agree to rest, in addition to finally finding Belmode's traces, was probably because of the person who gave advice.

"Judy, actually, Xiuyi and that woman have ......"

Rumble——!

Just when James couldn't help but want to reveal the latest situation of Shuichi Akai so that Judy could agree to take a vacation, a dull explosion suddenly came through the crack in the door.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then their faces changed.

In order to ensure the safety of the agents in the contact point, the house that James purchased was specially remodeled, with reinforced walls and bulletproof doors and windows.

The secret room in the attic is covered with a full circle of metal armor, which can even withstand rocket attacks.

But in such a closed and soundproof house, at this time, there was a clearly visible explosion......

Has someone attacked the stronghold?

"Inspector......" Judy's face straightened.

James waved his hand, opened the viewing window on the blast door with a calm face, and carefully observed the situation outside the house through the thick bulletproof glass.

......After a moment, James quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "The explosion should have come from nearby, I'll take a look." ”

Judy and Andre looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Although James Sr. has not been working on the front line for a long time, he knows more about the functional structure of this stronghold than them, and can determine the situation outside faster.

"Inspector, be careful." Andrei also switched to a formal title.

"Hmm." James nodded, quickly unlocked the door, and walked out.

After returning to the monitoring room and adjusting the picture on the screen wall slightly, James quickly put his mind at ease, "Sure enough, neither the house nor the courtyard was attacked, and the target of the explosion was not us, so ......"

As James debugged, the surveillance footage on the screen wall changed again, and soon switched to the street around the house.

The panicked crowd, the black smoke billowing up.

The old detective, who thought that he would have to switch a few more pictures to find Answer, quickly widened his eyes.

"This, this...... One, two, three, four, there are four houses around that have been attacked!? ”

James's heart, which had been relieved, was lifted again.

In order to ensure privacy, the wealthy FB1 inspector naturally will not buy any ordinary houses as a base, and the surrounding residents are not only high-ranking nobles, but they are definitely big families.

But in such an upper-class community, in the blink of an eye, four houses on the same street were blown to pieces......

Could it be that someone is casting a wide net to test the exact location of their stronghold?

After pondering for a moment, James finally pulled out a calling card from his tie.

"Hello? Shuichi, it's my ......."

In the surveillance footage, a team of staff carrying photographic equipment is walking briskly from the end of the street.

…

…

"Audience friends, we have come to the scene of the sudden explosion, and you can see that a total of four houses here have been completely destroyed by the explosion just now......"

Yin Lubo sushi restaurant, in the big-headed TV on the wall, Shui Wulingna's cheeks were glued with a touch of black ash, which made the atmosphere of the whole interview a little more tense.

Diners who were still enjoying delicious sushi and leisurely watching the spring special program on Nikyoi TV were infected by the atmosphere and watched the live broadcast on TV intently.

"Huh...... Cunning woman. Wakida Kaneno wiped the dishes and whispered a sarcastic sentence on his lips, but there was a faint appreciation in his expression.

Shui Wulingna had already been appreciated by 'that gentleman', and he had already watched the video of the surveillance room of Erquan Temple that Belmode 'stole' from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Although there are still a lot of suspicious things in the video, considering that there have been no abnormalities and mistakes in Shui Wulingna's mission all along, and she risked saving Tequila yesterday, the suspicion on her body is naturally temporarily cleared.

To be able to have such a capable subordinate by his side at such a critical moment when there is such a shortage of people...... Naturally, he wants to use water for nothing.

"Today, but there's a good show to watch......"

The corners of Kannori Wakita's mouth curled slightly, put down the plate in his hand, and turned around and walked to the back kitchen.

"Your Excellency!" Last time, the young chef respectfully handed over a suit.

"Hmm......" Kannori Wakida nodded, untied the straps of his apron with his hands, and asked casually, "Things have already been arranged, right?" ”

"Yes, but ......"

"Huh?" Kannori Wakida's eyes were cold.

The young chef hurriedly bowed his head and said, "It's not Tequila-sama's side, it's Moritani Teiji's side, he's ...... He didn't believe that Kudo Shinichi was dead, and still insisted on using this opportunity to test it. ”

"I don't believe in Kudo Shinichi's death ......" Kannori Wakida changed into a suit, reached out to take the cigar handed by the young chef, touched the cigarette holder thoughtfully, and suddenly grinned, "It's okay!" I'm also a little curious, is the high school detective who can't see anyone alive or dead hiding it by gin...... What are his specific plans? ”

"Mr. Moriya learned from the owner of the Rice Flower Cinema that there was a movie called "The Legend of the Red Line" that was very popular among high school students recently, and among the moviegoers at the midnight show tonight, there happened to be a guest who had booked a movie ticket in advance, named Moriran......"

"Is it Kudo Shinichi's childhood friend?"

"Exactly, it is said that they have a good relationship with each other, and they have often traveled abroad together since they were children, and if something happens to Maoliran, Kudo Shinichi will definitely show up as long as he is alive."

"Huh...... It seems that Mr. Moriya is really a detective for this high school student...... Hate it to the bone! ”

Kaneno Wakida took a puff on his cigar and removed the blindfold that was in the way.

That pale eyeball, just looking at it makes people shudder in their hearts.

"It is good to know how to fear, because it will prevent the destruction of many who do not measure themselves." Kannori Wakida looked at the young chef who lowered his head again and smiled, "I just don't know, after this time, those guys from the National Police Agency will be able to learn it?" ”

…

…

Kata...... Yukiko Kudo closed the door casually, walked into the study with two cups of hot tea, and looked at the tall man standing at her husband's desk with a curious expression.

"Here comes the tea——!"

After sitting and standing, the two people who looked at each other finally looked away.

"Thank you." The tall man thanked him calmly, whether it was his expression or tone, it was impossible to see the slightest mood swing.

"Yukiko, don't look at the guests like that...... Yusaku Kudo looked at his frowning wife, shook his head a little funny, and sighed instead, "Alas...... Can I make a request? ”

The tall man took a sip of hot tea, "The tea is very good." ”

"Agent Akai ......" Yusaku Kudo was a little helpless.

"It's worthy of being a man who can be praised by the Interpol," Akai Shuichi put down his teaglass, "Since you've guessed my identity, then, the matter about Reiro ......"

"My son is in the country...... Oh no! Kudo Yukiko subconsciously wanted to cover for her son, but soon remembered what her husband said before, the person who came might be an FB1 agent, and then changed her words, "Shinichi is now in the British brigade ......"

"Alright, there's Kiko." Kudo Yusaku pulled his excited wife back and explained softly, "Mr. Akai was able to find this place, which proves that he has guessed the true identity of the little girl next to Mu Yuanjun, and Conan's affairs naturally can't be hidden from him." ”

"But ......"

"It's okay." Yusaku Kudo patted his wife's hand, "Mr. Akai won't tell you about Conan." ”

"Oh?" Akai Xiu raised the corners of his eyebrows, showing mood swings for the first time, "Why is Mr. Yusaku so sure?" I'm going to report Ling Lang's affairs to my boss after I leave here. ”

"No, Mr. Akai wouldn't do that." Yusaku Kudo shook his head and said firmly, "Because you also know very well that the miraculous effect of the medicine is known if some people in the upper echelons of the Investigation Bureau know about it......"

"I'm sorry, but I didn't have that naïve idea." Shuichi Akai interrupted disapprerovingly, "Doing the job in front of me is what I have always been doing. ”

"Mr. Akai......" Yusaku Kudo heard the hint in Akai Shui's words, rubbed his eyebrows with a little headache, and finally sighed, "Okay, this time, I'll help FB1, no, I'll help you get in." ”

"Thank you for your hospitality!"

Shuichi Akai put down his teacup and turned around with a faint smile of satisfaction on his face.
