Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 290 Speculations about Possible Personnel Changes in the Organization

"Pisk? Is he also a core member of that organization?"

Neither James nor Judy had heard of the name before.

Almost everything they know about the organization comes from Shuichi Akai...who did not come into contact with this code name during his time undercover in the organization.

"Yes, and this member named Pisk seems to be of a special status."

Akai Shuichi took out a piece of paper and wrote on it twice, his tone solemn:
"It was by chance that I was able to learn this information... One of our members in the organization just happened to have a job change recently, from Gin's side to another person's subordinate circle."

James lowered his head slightly: "Another person? Could it be this Pisk?"

"Yes, that's right."

Akai Hideya nodded.

Judy frowned:

"So, this member called Pisk, judging from his status, might be similar to the Gin you mentioned?"

"Well, that's how I understand it."

"And then, Akai-kun, how did such a high-ranking person die?" James did not forget the key point of Akai Shuichi's tone just now, "What does this have to do with the information you want to tell me?"

Akai Shuichi was silent for a moment, then drew two circles on the paper: "What I want to say is actually partly based on my guess..."

James frowned slightly.

I only heard Akai Shuichi continue:
"I learned something from the information that member passed on - that is, this Pisk seemed to have been killed by Gin, and originally this news had not been spread among the lower levels of the organization..."

"But now, because of the position change, that member accidentally heard the news from others, and it is said that the other party has a conflict with Gin." Akai Shuichi expressed his point of view, "This is slightly different from the information I learned in the organization before... At that time, I didn't hear Gin mention this person."

"I suspect that the organization's structure is more complex than we have previously recognized."

After hearing this, James and Judy were both confused:
"Akai-kun, what exactly do you want to say?"

Akai Shuichi was silent for a moment, and then he realized the problem in his words.

He forgot that he was the only undercover agent in the organization. He felt a contrast between the past and the present in this organization, and he could feel it himself.

After a while, Akai Shuichi sighed and directly stated his guess:
"What I want to say is that there may be more than one high-ranking official in that dark organization in Japan, and this Pisker is very likely another high-ranking official..."

Otherwise, he felt, the term 'member transfer' would not have appeared.

In the past, even if there was a turnover among their peripheral members, they would basically just give them a number and send an email to contact them, but that undercover agent planted in the periphery actually had to go through the transfer procedures...

Therefore, Shuichi Akai boldly speculated that this was probably a unique procedure for personnel flow between high-level subordinates in two organizations of the same level.

However, the key point of his speculation is yet to come:

"However, before the transfer, he only knew that the codename of his boss on the other side was 'Pisk', and after he went there, he found out that this person had died." Akai Shuichi's eyes were sharp. He wrote 'Gin' in a circle on the paper and put a question mark in another circle. "So... the first question is, who did Gin transfer with?"

Judy, who was always able to complete tasks properly, was confused and felt a little dizzy - she didn't know if it was because of the confusion or the smoke.

James finally understood what Akai Shuichi meant:
"There is another big shot in that organization, but... we have absolutely no information about him."

"That's right." Akai Hide nodded. "We have no idea who the other party is or how many subordinates he has... But I guess this person was at the gathering of those people a few days ago."

However, in order to avoid alerting the organization, they monitored from a distance and could not clearly see the features of the people in black windbreakers. Now, they were faced with a big problem:

The FBI's deployment in Japan was almost entirely based on Shuichi Akai's previous estimate of the organization's strength.

But now...

"That is to say, there may be a large part of the organization's power that we are unknown to us." James said in a slightly deep voice.

Their previous impression of the organization was that it was a criminal organization with deep roots underground that might have great connections with other evil forces. What they worried about was alerting the enemy and scaring people away from coming out - that is, they treated the organization as a more difficult terrorist group.

Shuichi Akai then drew two non-intersecting lines under the two circles, and then drew another line to connect the two circles:

"According to my experience, the actual number of core members of an organization is usually more than 1.5 times what we know, and the core members have three to five important subordinates, while the number of peripheral members is relatively large."

"There were thirteen people from the organization that gathered that day. Excluding the few I know, there are seven people left, one of whom is the witch." Akai Shuichi extended four lines under the circle of 'Gin', added a small circle next to it, and finally extended five lines under the circle with '?', "So conservatively speaking, the organization's real core members in Japan are probably more than twenty."

Hearing this data, James fell silent.

Twenty people already exceeded the number of their squad.

Moreover, Shuichi Akai had said before that the quality of the organization's members was much higher than that of their ordinary members.

If Gin were here, he would definitely give Akai Shuichi a thumbs up: it was worth his time and effort to pass the information to them, and his guess was almost right.

However, a madman brought a lot of people from England, a little more than Shuichi Akai had expected.

"So, I think we might need to pay attention to this member who has never appeared in our sight."

Akai Xiu clicked the question mark twice.

"I guess this person and Gin might have a relationship of checks and balances of power."

James and Judy were a little stunned. "Checks and balances?"

This criminal organization is so advanced.

"It's like the balance between Congress, the President, and the courts." Akai Shuichi held up his chin, "Otherwise, one leader is always more stable than two. If there are too many high-level members like Gin, it will easily cause chaos."

He even felt that the organization might be even larger than he currently judged...

As far as he knew, there was another core member - rum, a liquor that was elusive in the United States.

They still don't know who this Rum is or what he looks like...

Akai Shuichi rubbed his eyebrows.

He began to worry about the FBI's mission...

Clearly, at the beginning he just wanted to help Gin with revenge for Akemi and find out the whereabouts of his lover's sister, so why did things become more and more complicated?
