Stay away from Conan.

In the incident a few days ago, the prototype intelligent drone that he and Professor Agasa completed played a crucial role in helping Shiho Miyano escape danger. Therefore, although the original plan was to have a large-scale fleet of drones to facilitate future situations, which would require his company to utilize market-based methods, this did not prevent him from building upon the existing infrastructure to create other equipment.

After all, because of this incident, Gao Yuan realized that having only one drone was not enough.

Using the materials and equipment he already had, Gao Yuan easily assembled a new, smaller drone, and it was with this drone that Gao Yuan was able to track Gin's whereabouts.

Thus, after Takato explained the concept of "ultra-small drones," although the actual drone wasn't present, Shiho Miyano clearly had a basic understanding of it, and therefore couldn't help but ask:

"You mean a smaller drone?"

As she said this, Shiho Miyano still vividly remembered the drone that Gao Yuan had used to help her escape a couple of days ago. It was capable of intelligent navigation and could launch a sneak attack on Bourbon in accordance with Gao Yuan's gestures. At the same time, she couldn't help but look at the prototype drone that was currently placed in the basement.

Gao Yuan nodded naturally in response, and then explained:

"It's about the same size, but only about the size of a palm. It sacrifices battery life, but it's more concealed. With a camera and some sensors, it can accomplish some listening and observation tasks that are impossible with conventional methods."

"It is precisely because of this that I deployed it in advance at the airport. As soon as I observe the appearance of that 'Porsche 356A,' I can activate the drone and begin to observe and track it. Furthermore, through some means, it can attach to the chassis of the vehicle, thus enabling it to essentially track the target throughout its journey and conduct eavesdropping."

"Once I've gathered enough information, I can also remotely control it to leave quickly..."

In this way, Gao Yuan basically explained how he managed to ultimately eavesdrop on Gin and the others' conversation—

Once the drone is deployed at the airport beforehand, it can be remotely controlled to track and observe the target as soon as Gin's car is detected.

This method doesn't even require the person to be present, which is truly...

Having thus understood the whole story, Shiho Miyano couldn't help but sigh with admiration, but she immediately tried to appear composed, as if she felt that only Takato could achieve such a level of skill. Therefore, to be honest, Shiho Miyano wasn't particularly surprised.

Especially after learning the most crucial point in this matter...

"So, we were actually quite lucky."

After thinking about it, Shiho Miyano could only sigh in this way—

After all, if it weren't for sheer luck in catching Gin's car pull into Haneda International Airport, all of Takato's preparations would have been in vain.

Therefore, it can only be said that Gin was really fixated on his "old car," otherwise, how could Takato have found such a flaw?

Gao Yuan clearly shared the same thought, and thus couldn't help but echo it:
"Yes... If Gin hadn't insisted on riding in his car when he came back this time, I wouldn't have been able to find him at all, and thus wouldn't have been able to accurately grasp the organization's next move..." — Moreover, at present, the problem of the battery life of these small drones is still a problem that there is no good way to solve. Otherwise, this time, we might have been able to use this device to find Gin's next base.

However, due to the battery's limited lifespan, after confirming that Gin and his team had ended the call, no other calls were made in a short period of time. Given that the vehicle was in a tunnel at the time, Gao Yuan judged that this was an excellent opportunity for the drone to leave, so he decided not to let it continue tracking, just in case.

After all, if something unexpected happens and the organization discovers the existence of the drone, things could get very complicated.

At least until civilian drones are widely available, this crucial equipment cannot be exposed...

However, thinking about the first month's business report I received from the operator of the company I founded, I feel that this day shouldn't be far off...

So, returning to the current situation, now that we have successfully learned that Gin has returned to Japan and that he is about to launch an operation aimed at retrieving Rena Mizunashi, and considering the previous incidents where many of the organization's peripheral members were taken away by the FBI, it is clear that this operation the organization is about to carry out will not be simple.

This made Gao Yuan a little worried. He felt that the situation he knew from the original work—the struggle between the organization and the FBI to reclaim Mizunashi Rena—might not develop the same way as in the original story, or things might even get worse...

Furthermore, Hondo Eisuke and Kusuda Rikumichi, two key figures strongly connected to this event in the original work, have already appeared, so it seems I can start from this angle...

Thus, while Takato was somewhat unsure about where to begin, Miyano Shiho, standing nearby, was clearly also curious about what to do next.

"So, Gin is back, preparing to take back Rena Mizunashi... Will you inform Shuichi Akai and the others about this?"

That's what she said, but in reality, Shiho Miyano thought that since this matter involved the FBI and had nothing to do with her side, it wouldn't matter if she didn't care.

Besides, the FBI has deployed so many people in Japan; surely they can't be completely without any room for resistance.

Furthermore, organizations need to maintain secrecy when they act. Now that Rena Mizunashi is in the hospital, it would be inconvenient for the organization to take action if they really wanted to.

If one is not careful, attracting too much attention could expose the organization's existence, which would be a loss that outweighs the gains.

Therefore, Shiho Miyano, thinking this way, wanted to see what Takato was thinking—

"It's hard to say, but it shouldn't be long before the organization discovers where Mizunashi Rena is indeed hiding..."

Faced with Shiho Miyano's question, Takato didn't have a good idea for the time being. Or rather, for Takato, he hoped that things would develop according to the original work, so that he could at least know the direction of the development and thus have the advantage of grasping the key points of the event in advance. In that case, based on past experience, it would be best for him not to actively influence anything or get involved with Conan.

The problem is, this idea may have already fallen through... (End of Chapter)
