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

"Huh?! Mr. Akai, is this true?!"

In the apartment that Shuichi Akai temporarily rented.

Conan's eyes widened and his tone became excited.

"of course."

Shuichi Akai leaned against the window and looked out through the gap in the curtains. "Most of what Judy said overlaps with what Rena Mizunashi... or Kiel, told me. There should be no problem with its authenticity."

Conan continued to glare: "Ms. Mizuno... is she really an undercover agent?"

Akai Shuichi blinked: "Yes, she is from the CIA. Her father once committed suicide to cover up his continued lurking in the organization. I was there at that time...

By the way, when Judy was kidnapped by the organization, Rena Mizunashi was also captured by me at the same time, but she didn't trust any FBI members other than me, probably because she was worried that the FBI had also been infiltrated by the organization."

"…Even the FBI?!"

Conan was shocked.

Fortunately, Shuichi Akai's explanation calmed him down a little: "It's not that the FBI really has people lurking in the organization, but the current situation of the organization that Kiel described is much different from what we originally expected."

Akai Shuichi recalled what Kiel had told him, and after a while of toothache, he slowly spoke:
"In addition to the code names that Judy knew, Kiel knew far more than that. Angostura, Anderburg, Dubonnet, Chablis, Alex, Grenz... these people all have high status in the organization.

But the question that remains a mystery is about Gin.

According to Mizunashi Rena, he was transferred away from Gin's group for a while. All we know is that except for the sniper, most of Gin's people were transferred to Angostra's group, and the rest of the situation is unclear... Oh, a more reliable piece of news is that Vermouth and Gin have a good relationship."

When Shuichi Akai was talking, Conan listened very carefully - getting information, isn't this more exciting than having your identity exposed?
"But she doesn't know why this situation has occurred... I mean, someone is suspected of replacing Gin." Akai Shuichi turned his head and looked at the floor. "If this is a signal that something has changed within the organization, it may be an opportunity."

Conan was a little confused when he heard Akai Shuichi's turn of events: "What?"

Akai Hide was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that there were some things Conan didn't know, and said briefly: "I... um, I have some other intelligence channels, maybe there are some gaps in the organization's headquarters."

Conan immediately realized: "Mr. Akai, do you suspect that the organization has transferred some manpower to Japan for some purpose? And that this has left the headquarters empty?"

He often secretly exchanged information with Shuichi Akai, and with Rei's occasional revelations, he also learned that the organization's structure was not as simple as he had previously imagined.

"That's right." Akai Shuichi narrowed his eyes. "If we can figure out their purpose, perhaps we will have a chance to catch them all in one fell swoop... But I guess we still need to plan carefully."

Conan's eyes lit up, but soon the light in his eyes went out.

——It’s fun to get intelligence, but when I think about how every time the organization has a conflict with the FBI, he either can’t help or doesn’t even know about it, I feel a little emo.

However, emo came and went quickly, and Conan quickly shifted his focus: "By the way, Mr. Akai, you said before that besides Mr. Lin and his friends, there are others who may have provided the organization with false information..."

“I’m just guessing about this.”

Akai Shuichi smiled bitterly, "The news was mainly obtained from Kiel, and it was derived from the action that was originally planned to target Vermouth...

The member named Chablis was one of the main persons in charge of the last operation. He was at the same level as Gin, and seemed to be... well, it was not clear whether it was good or bad.

But after that operation, this man named Chablis...disappeared."

"Eh?"

Conan did not expect this sudden turn of events.

Akai Shuichi shrugged. "Yes, they are missing, as are some of his subordinates... about ten members, all of them are missing, and they disappeared in Yokohama."

"Yokohama?"

This place name made Conan think more involuntarily.

He has been to Yokohama more than once or twice.

“According to my colleagues’ reports, there was an explosion off the coast of Yokohama during the time period of these members.

But after that, there was no news about the explosion, even the local police were not very clear...

We suspect that there is a hidden force that has completely suppressed this matter.”

"And the one who can do this in Japan is hostile to the organization, and the most likely one is the Japanese Public Security Bureau." Conan easily followed Akai Shuichi's train of thought and made a guess, "In other words, the disappearance of those organization members and the explosion were caused by a conflict between them and the Japanese Public Security Bureau?"

"I have some different ideas."

Akai Hide's eyes flickered slightly, "Among the people who disappeared with Chablis, there is a person who is very likely a Japanese public security officer."

“…Huh?!”

Conan was shocked again.

——How much information has he missed?
"Then, Mr. Akai, you don't think that it was that public security person who gave the organization wrong information and then found a way to deal with some of the organization's members?" Conan continued to stare, "But why would he do something that is harmful to the FBI?"

Today's intelligence exchange meeting was really exciting.

“…Maybe it’s because of me.”

Shuichi Akai recalled some distant memories and sighed, "The member codenamed Bourbon is very likely a member of the Public Security Bureau and one of the people who disappeared with Chablis...

He has always regarded me as a thorn in his side and wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible. It was obvious that I was thinking of him before my undercover identity was discovered. "

"Because the reason I was given the code name was because I had to shoot and kill a Japanese public security officer who was a thorn in the organization." Akai Shuichi closed his eyes, "And Bourbon was there at the time."

Conan: "..."

Although Mr. Akai said it lightly, he seemed to have witnessed a bloody ethics drama?

Then, everything makes sense:

In order to avenge Shuichi Akai, Bourbon ended up involving the FBI. He deliberately made the organization think that the FBI was going to take a big action, so that the organization laid many traps, and he also lured some members out separately...

He is really a pathetic, respectable, and somewhat hateful person...

(Furiya Rei sneezed loudly from somewhere.)
……

"Hahahahaha! No way? Conan and Akai Shuichi wouldn't really think so, right?"

In the villa.

Lie held the tablet in his hands, read the message on it, and rolled on the sofa with laughter, even forgetting to add the unique ending tone when speaking.

Poor Comrade Bourbon, now he has another invisible cauldron on his head.
