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

Chapter 346 Preparation before Separation
In a room of the Rice Flower Hotel.

"Ah! Why is it already this late?"

A very young curly-haired woman hurried into the bathroom and started putting on makeup.

Her voice startled a man who was sitting at a desk and seemed to be concentrating on his work.

The other party raised his head in surprise:

"Yukiko, you haven't left yet? Mr. Fujieda and I agreed to leave at half past five, but now it's already..."

"I know, Yusaku! I'm going out now... I forgot the time because the comedy show was so good..."

Yukiko Kudo hurriedly put on light makeup, then she remembered that she hadn't changed her clothes yet, and her face suddenly fell.

It turns out that entertainment is a mistake...

Next time she should set an alarm in advance.

"You don't have to be so anxious, Yukiko." Kudo Yusaku turned his attention back to the computer. "I think Shinichi and the others should be able to handle it... But, after all, I've already promised them, so it's not good to break the promise now."

"Little new?"

Kudo Yukiko blinked twice quickly, then made a standard half-moon eye, "Yusaku, I don't think you told me that Shin-chan would be there too?"

Kudo Yusaku paused and touched the back of his head:
"Ah~ Maybe I was too busy to remember?"

"...Really? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry." Yukiko's mood suddenly changed from gloomy to sunny, and her movements slowed down. She took out two clothes from the closet, "Hey, Yusaku, do you think I should wear this one or this one?"

Yusaku Kudo fell into deep thought as he looked at the two pieces of clothing which looked no different to him.

This should be a normal choice between two options, rather than a dead-end question disguised as a multiple-choice question, right?

Just as he was still trying to figure out what the correct answer was, his cell phone suddenly rang loudly.

Kudo Yusaku gave a thumbs up to the caller in his heart, and his expression remained unchanged: "Yukiko, I'll take the call."

"……Oh fine."

Yukiko picked up the two pieces of clothing and looked at them disappointedly.

Forget it, let’s just not change it.

...No, I have to meet Shin-chan later! I have to dress nicely and make Shin-chan exclaim "amazing"!

Yukiko Kudo looked at the box full of clothes and her eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

Of course, she was just quietly choosing clothes, not making any noise to disturb Kudo Yusaku who had already answered the phone.

"Hello? Hello... Mr. Casey? Oh, of course I remember."

Kudo Yusaku opened a program on his computer before answering the phone.

In the program interface, there is only a colorful ring that keeps flipping...

"...Well." The person on the other end of the phone seemed to ask an unspeakable question, causing Kudo Yusaku to pause. But soon, he looked at the text that automatically popped up on the computer and gave a reply:
"I can tell Mr. Casey, but I hope you can keep this confidential..."

"I got the news about that organization from a friend who knows the public security." Kudo Yusaku watched the computer jump words without panic, and he calmly modified some sentences by himself. "The public security that my friend knows is working undercover in that organization, but he seems to have discovered that the senior officials of the public security seem to have traces of infiltration by that organization."

"...Yes, that's why the other party would take the risk to contact someone other than his superior."

While talking on the phone, Yusaku Kudo took the time to look at the manuscript he had just written and made revisions calmly.

"Oh, no, I didn't get the latest information about the organization from there. The organization seems to be very strictly managed now... It was a fan of mine who works in the FBI... Ahem, a book friend told me, but they also have confidentiality regulations over there, so I don't know the specific details."

"Of course, I'm happy to help you. After all, according to my investigation, my son's disappearance may also be related to that organization."

"Okay, if I have any information, I will tell Mr. Casey as soon as possible."

After a few polite words, Kudo Yusaku hung up the phone, exhaled lightly, and looked at the jumping light circle on the computer, "I'm sorry to bother you again this time, Noah."

[No, I am just an ordinary artificial intelligence serving the common people...]
The words Noah typed on the computer were a little deep.

Kudo Yusaku: "..."

It's strange. I haven't seen Noah for a few days. When did he become so good at using idioms?

Realizing that his focus was a little off, Kudo Yusaku calmed down, "But is it okay to tell the other party this? It seems that Interpol also has people in that black organization. If their people in that organization find that what I said is not true..."

[Please rest assured, Mr. Yusaku, the principle we follow in the Five Star Team is honesty and trustworthiness.]
There was a certain solemnity in the words Noah displayed on the computer:
[Because this is information related to "Night", in order to avoid affecting too many people, this information has not been disclosed to Mr. Yusaku, but the contents that several adults asked you to convey to Mr. Yusaku are basically true.]
Kudo Yusaku frowned slightly, "In other words, the Japanese Public Security Bureau really has members of that organization at the top level?"

[Yes, and the public security member who discovered this has now successfully left the organization and become a member of the Five Star Team. Mr. Yusaku should have communicated with him as well.]
Kudo Yusaku: "..."

Hiss, that former Japanese public security officer is also in the group?
"Then, the public security officers lurking in that organization..."

[He is a friend of our member, but he doesn’t know that he is still alive, and his current situation is a bit delicate.]
"..."

The water is so deep.

Kudo Yusaku was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered something. He turned around and found that Yukiko had left the house at some point.

He sighed:
"I see. Is that why you sent us here to help? In order to use Tokyo as a 'battlefield' for both sides."

[Yes, so we hope to evacuate unnecessary personnel... If possible, Conan should not stay in Tokyo.]
As the only artificial intelligence agent in the Five Star Team, Noah also knows how important Conan is to them...

He just didn't quite understand what the adults kept saying about "there is a problem with time".

"I know what you mean..."

When it comes to his son, Kudo Yusaku also has a headache, "But I want to take him away from Tokyo... Shinichi, have you noticed anything about the actions of that organization now?"

[......]
Noah typed a string of ellipsis and was silent for a long time.

[We don’t know if Conan has noticed anything, but what is certain is that he is suspicious every now and then, always suspecting that there is something big going on in the organization. He must have noticed something…]
