Stay away from Conan.

"Hello, it's me... Okay, got it."

Under the cover of night, inside a black Porsche 356A driving on the road in Tokyo, Gin received a phone call. His expression was blank as he answered, then it seemed he heard some new information from the other end of the line. Clearly, it wasn't good news for Gin, and his expression quickly darkened. Finally, in a chilling tone, Gin simply replied, "Understood."

Hearing Gin's reaction, Vodka, who was driving the car, was somewhat surprised and asked:

"What's wrong, brother? What happened?"

In response to Vodka's question, Gin remained silent for a moment with an unpleasant expression. This attitude made Vodka feel pressured, as it meant that Gin was about to get angry.

So, Vodka remained silent, continuing to stare straight ahead as if seriously driving, when he suddenly heard Gin speak—

"Go to Mihana Pharmacist Clinic."

The tone was so cold that, to Vodka, it sounded like someone was off to do something big. So Vodka swallowed hard, mentally preparing himself, thinking that perhaps something big was about to happen. With that thought in mind, Vodka began driving towards Beika Town…

……

"So, big brother, you mean that the psychologist that Rum took a liking to and thought was valuable enough to attract into the organization, his affair has been exposed?"

On the way to Beika Pharmacist Hospital, Gin was initially very silent and didn't say a word. However, as time went by and the atmosphere in the car gradually calmed down, Vodka felt that Gin's attitude seemed to have softened a bit, so he curiously took the initiative to ask what they were going to do next.

Therefore, Gin briefly explained the situation to Vodka.

"That's right. 'Ireland,' who was originally infiltrating the Metropolitan Police Department, was specifically there to cover for him, and our people even found him a scapegoat. As long as everything goes smoothly, he will eventually turn to us under our offensive..."

"But, for some reason, he was suddenly exposed!"

Thus, a murderous intent began to appear in Gin's eyes:
"After that guy was caught and questioned by the police, what he said was basically in line with our plan, but suddenly, after he followed our orders, he was caught red-handed by the police..."

"Judging from the outcome, he was completely set up by the police!"

"Huh? How could this be?"

Vodka, upon hearing this, couldn't help but ask, feeling utterly puzzled.

Gin then stated definitively:

"There's no mistake, it's the guy Ireland interrogated himself."

"what!"

Having heard this, Vodka roughly understood the details of the situation.

After all, Ireland infiltrated the Metropolitan Police Department, replacing a very key administrator. Therefore, given that the doctor had already been arrested by the police, it was unlikely that Ireland would directly expose his identity during the interrogation. Instead, he would likely question him under the guise of the police.

But, if that's the case...

"In that case, wouldn't that mean..." Ireland interrogated the other party, and the other party was arrested while following orders from their own people, so it's clear that the other party has confessed to things related to the organization!
Doesn't this mean that the police also know about the organization's existence?

"There's no need to worry about that. Anyway, that doctor doesn't know anything about us, and he has no idea who the people he's been in contact with are."

Gin understood what Vodka was worried about, so he immediately dispelled Vodka's concerns.

After all, if things had gotten to the point where the police knew about the organization, he wouldn't be in this attitude now. Rum would probably immediately send people to carry out large-scale measures to eliminate all those who might have leaked information.

"That's how it is," Gin continued.

"The key point is that after our people talked to the doctor, he encountered a cleaning lady, and that stupid doctor thought that the cleaning lady was also one of our people, so he listened to her and ended up falling into the police's trap!"
"So, what we need to do now is find that so-called cleaning staff as soon as possible, before the police find him!"

Thus, Gin revealed the key issue he needed to address on his trip to the Beika Pharmacist Hospital: finding the cleaning staff member that Kazato Kyosuke had mentioned.

After all, according to the Irish interrogation, what could be confirmed was that the doctor regarded the cleaning staff member who had contact with him as one of the only people who had come into direct contact with him who had threatened him.

In other words, the organization discovered his activities because their infiltrators at the hospital had discovered his secrets. Rum, recognizing his talent, attempted to recruit him into the organization. Before they could even make direct contact with him, the organization was using phone calls and emails to exert pressure and control him. Just when they were trying to leave him with no way out, a cleaning staff member suddenly appeared. The doctor believed that the person was a member of the organization and listened to their story, ultimately leading to his arrest by the police.

The key point is that the cleaning staff clearly knew what the organization was talking about with the doctor, which enabled the doctor to believe the guy's lies.

In other words, the identity of that cleaning staff member is crucial!

How could she know about the organization, and even know what the organization had talked to him about?

We must first find that person and thoroughly interrogate them to uncover the truth behind this.

After all, someone who hasn't been recruited by the organization is insignificant. If the police arrest him, so be it. Even if they lose some of the cost of contacting him, it's not like they can't do without him.

On the contrary, a cleaning staff member who suddenly appeared in the incident caused the whole thing to suddenly get out of control. This person was someone that Rum and the others were extremely wary of.

If we don't figure this out and find out the other party's identity, it will put the organization in a very passive position.

Currently, according to reports from Ireland, the other party definitely has no connection with the police, and even the police officers who arrested the doctor were set up.

Based on this, it seems that this person is someone who is very targeted and is taking action against the organization!

Ha, interesting. Daring to provoke the organization, there really are some lazy bums out there!

Thus, as Gin pondered this, while curious about who the cleaning staff member was, he also felt a faint sense of anticipation—

After all, I hadn't had a proper chance to stretch my muscles during my time abroad.

Hopefully, this guy who dared to do something like this won't let himself down! (End of Chapter)
