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

Chapter 671: Matsuda Jinpei: So easy to fool

Jinpei Matsuda stood in front of the French window, watching these guys who came to "investigate the case" leave the Metropolitan Police Department, especially focusing on Conan's small body.

Thinking of the solemn expression on Conan's face when he just finished talking about the "information", he couldn't help but sigh:
“It’s so easy to cheat.”

Could it be that his body has regressed to that of an elementary school student, and his mind has also degenerated slightly?
Hmm... maybe this boy is just too naive and doesn't understand the dangers of the world.

Officer Megure, who was watching the news, looked up: "What?"

Matsuda Jinpei calmly said nonsense: "I mean, nowadays, fraudsters are becoming more and more rampant, and residents are easily deceived. I think it is necessary to do some publicity to raise some residents' anti-fraud awareness."

Officer Memu: "..."

It's strange. When did Matsuda start to care about people's livelihood?
After saying this seriously, Jinpei Matsuda returned to his workstation and began to organize the documents on his desk.

The information he told Conan was true and reliable, but... it was indeed suspected of being misleading.

——He linked the organization's actions to the Ooka family, which was completely a trick on Conan.

The Ooka family is the number one financial group in Osaka. In a sense, it is comparable to the Suzuki Group, but the latter has a stronger foundation.

But the Ooka Group, or the Ooka Family, does have inextricable ties with the organization. To be more precise, it is mainly connected with the Karasuma Family.

The information about Jinpei Matsuda was obtained through the Five Star Group database. The information was screened by those big guys and is absolutely true and reliable.

It is true that the organization has Ooka providing funds behind the scenes, including the auction held in Osaka soon. In a sense, the Ooka family is also helping the organization and themselves to make money...

However, it has nothing to do with the organization's actions.

Matsuda Jinpei said this deliberately because he was ordered to mislead Conan...

As for how far Conan's thinking can go, that is not something he can control.

……

Rice flower town.

A rental apartment.

"Has their hiding place been exposed..."

Shuichi Akai looked at the text message on his mobile phone and felt a little heavy in his heart.

The message was sent to him by his immediate superior, James Blake, and the content was mainly about the fact that their remaining manpower had discovered suspicious people near their respective hiding places this morning, and...

Porsche 356A.

That's Gin's car.

Shuichi Akai felt that he would probably never forget this license plate and model in his life.

And this is not an isolated case. Almost 9% of the hiding places mentioned this...

He had reason to suspect that the organization wanted to completely stabilize the situation in Japan and concentrate on dealing with the offensive of official forces from other countries in Europe.

Shuichi Akai could even imagine the gray hair of his superiors and teammates due to worry.

...Fortunately, he is not fighting alone now.

"…Maybe I need to hang out more with Mr. Lin recently."

He sighed and thought silently in his heart.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang again - there was a new text message.

And this specially set unique ringtone... Shuichi Akai knew who it was from as soon as he heard it.

conan.

After clicking on the message, Akai Shuichi read the not-so-long content with a hint of surprise in his eyes. "The Ooka family... I see, they are the source of funds for the organization's activities? This is really important information."

The content Conan sent was basically a transcription of what Jinpei Matsuda said to him and copied it onto his phone, with some of Conan's reasoning added in.

The reasoning is similar to what Akai Shuichi came up with after seeing the news:
It is known that the organization is going to carry out a large-scale activity, perhaps even a final clean-up operation against them;
At the same time, the Ooka family, the funder behind the organization, will hold an auction in Osaka in the near future, presumably to recover funds...

It can be briefly inferred that the funds from the Ooka family's auction will be directly provided to the organization as activity cash flow.

The key point is, how should this money be traded?
Akai Shuichi thought: "Even if it's not to buy military supplies, it's impossible to use an open account..."

Once we eliminate the organization’s habits, the only answer left is basically… offline transactions.

As far as Shuichi Akai knows, every external fund of the organization is traded face to face, which is the safest way.

Can……

"If that's the case, Mr. Lin, and that police officer, why didn't you just say it directly? Instead, you beat around the bush and mentioned a few key points, leaving us to figure it out ourselves?" Akai Shuichi frowned.

It's not that he doubted the accuracy of the information, but... he was an adult after all.

Moreover, Rei is also an adult, and it is impossible for Shuichi Akai to treat him with the same mentality as he treats Conan.

If the organization really sent someone to conduct a financial transaction with the Ooka family at the auction, then if he went to Osaka, he might be able to organize the other party to get the money, or even attract a wave of firepower and buy a little chance of survival for his colleagues...

However, this is just pure inference, and all the evidence comes from the "intelligence" of Rei and Jinpei Matsuda.

Shuichi Akai never felt that he could trust Rei's words 100%, not to mention that the 'Five Star Group' was originally a criminal organization. It was only in the face of the Black Organization that they had a common enemy and were able to stand on the same front.

...Maybe, we are on the same front?
To be honest, Shuichi Akai was a little confused about Rei and the others' plans.

He sighed, "Ooka, Osaka... still needs to be confirmed."

Thinking of this, he put away his phone and prepared to go out to find someone to talk to, but at this moment, a call came in.

Seeing the number, Akai Shuichi couldn't help but twitch his eyes, and picked up the phone with trembling fingers: "Hello, landlady...

Ah, OK, as for the rent, I will transfer it to you right away..."

After hanging up the phone, Shuichi Akai reluctantly opened his account and took a look.

Millions of dollars in savings, now only tens of thousands are left...

He probably has to find a way to get some money.

Maintaining firearms is really expensive.

……

Shibuya Outer Circle.

The black car stayed quietly in the deserted shadow for a long time. When a man in a black suit walked past it on this hot day, the car slowly drove away.

Vodka, who was driving, was full of admiration for his elder brother.

He didn't understand why Gin was so sure that as long as they stopped at a certain place for a while, there would definitely be a man in a black suit walking by...

Is this the legendary ingenious calculation?

Vodka thought to himself.

Fortunately, Gin didn't know what his driver was thinking, otherwise he would definitely think that someone's IQ had degenerated to a point where it was beyond recognition...

Gin was still holding the map on his phone, looking at the various points on it, thinking to himself:
"Except for the FBI, the other cats and dogs don't really care... Tsk, it seems a bit unfair."

How about taking a walk around the CIA and MI6 bases?
