The world of science is unscientific

But he had to keep swimming.

Because he is very familiar with the organization's modus operandi, he will not surface for the next 20 minutes.

His reliance for diving for so long was naturally the portable oxygen cylinder made by Professor Agasa.

Unfortunately, his two colleagues never got the chance to use it.

He grabbed his companion's oxygen tank and ran for his life... Ha, how ridiculous of me.

Chapter 965 Finding the Mole Through Elimination

Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Shuichi Akai cautiously surfaced and looked around, but found no trace of the organization.

Next, he continued swimming to find Conan, who was waiting for him.

The plan has remained on track so far.

Rena Mizunashi was successfully taken back by the organization.

The only slightly out-of-the-box content was the conflict with the organization.

Shuichi Akai never imagined that he would actually be in mortal danger.

After confirming that the organization had indeed stopped tracking him, he found a spot to go ashore and dragged his heavy body forward.

The sun is quite strong today.

By the time he found Conan, his clothes were already half-dry.

"Mr. Akai! Are you alright?"

Conan could tell from the expression on Shuichi Akai's face that something had happened.

"I'm fine, let's go."

Shuichi Akai opened the car door and got in. "Rena Mizunashi has been successfully taken back by the organization. The plan can continue."

His tone was flat and indifferent, conveying nothing but exhaustion.

Conan then decided not to ask any more questions.

The other two FBI agents are likely in grave danger.

"If I hadn't devised this plan, would they have died?" Conan couldn't help but think to himself.

Probably will die.

But he probably won't die right now.

Conan had the answer in an instant.

He killed two more people with his own hands.

It was done in an extremely selfish way.

The Shinichi Kudo of yesteryear has changed.

Conan chuckled self-deprecatingly, but couldn't hide his disappointment.

Shuichi Akai couldn't light his soaked cigarette no matter what he tried. He gripped the entire pack tightly in his hand and said:

“They were already prepared to dedicate themselves, and so am I.”

"We are all people who drive out darkness for the light."

"It is our duty to dedicate everything to fighting darkness."

"Your current self-blame and pity are more like mockery of them."

So, put away that expression.

Conan immediately felt wronged after being told off by Shuichi Akai.

But he really didn't have anything to say in rebuttal.

And so, silence spread.

...

Suburbs of Tokyo.

Yusuke Suzuki continued driving around the area.

After finding a suitable spot, he got out of the car and blew it up with a grenade.

This black Mazda has been seen by too many people today; it's not suitable to drive it again in the future.

He is a person with a social status, so it's always good to be careful in everything he does.

"So, shall we walk back now?"

Standing next to him, Rena Mizunashi spoke in a flat, emotionless tone.

If you had to say she's completely indifferent right now, she still has the right expressions.

He had already chatted with Rena Mizunashi on the way here.

We chatted about... everyday things.

Yusuke Suzuki recounted Rena Mizunashi's past, background, and even the fact that her father had committed suicide.

He did this for one purpose only: to show Rena Mizunashi: I know you well, don't have any ulterior motives. And, from now on, you're with me.

Rena Mizunashi is currently being manipulated by various parties.

Yusuke Suzuki could understand the strange combination of tone and expression on the other's face.

To be fair, Rena Mizunashi is quite attractive even with a hat on.

Yusuke Suzuki did not respond to the other party, but only glanced at the time.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

A new car stopped in front of the two of them.

The driver was Han Chuanqing.

Yusuke Suzuki expressed his shame.

They couldn't get even a single extra scene from Gin, that stingy guy, to give to Hanchuan Qing.

There was no other way, so he had to add his own scenes, giving his assistant some driving-related roles.

Rena Mizunashi was a complete stranger to Haruka Hanakawa.

But she wouldn't ask anything.

What she needs to think about now is how to keep Conan and Shuichi Akai's plan going, and what strategies to use when she returns to the organization.

So what if we're being manipulated by multiple parties?

In order to allow her to infiltrate the organization and work for the CIA, her father committed suicide in front of her.

This awkward situation is hardly a source of pressure.

Soon, the car started.

Yusuke Suzuki took a nap in the boss's seat.

Rena Mizunashi sat in the passenger seat, deep in thought.

Han Chuanqing didn't even get a single line in this appearance.

Before we knew it, it was evening.

Yusuke Suzuki led Rena Mizunashi into Base 4, while Haruhachi Kazukawa left on his own.

Gin has urged them many times along the way.

Shuichi Akai's death is still uncertain.

For such a person, as long as death cannot be confirmed, it is as if they have not died.

Gin, who desperately wants to have his cake and eat it too, now only has Rena Mizunashi to have his own to do, so he's naturally a bit anxious.

Enter the lounge.

Everyone who should be there is there.

Chianti raised an eyebrow. "Welcome back, Kiel."

“Very smoothly,” Cohen agreed.

Chris Jean crossed her legs, but said nothing.

After exchanging greetings with everyone, Gin had just finished his drink.

He looked at Rena Mizunashi and said, "You are probably familiar with the procedures that need to be followed. Do not do anything unusual."

Rena Mizunashi nodded and said, "Since I was able to come back, there won't be any problems."

“That’s for the best.” Gin put down his glass. “Vodka, take her with you.”

Vodka accepted the order and left, and Yusuke Suzuki also found his seat.

He brought up the topic, "With such a big commotion today, how does the organization plan to mitigate the impact?"

“That’s none of your business,” Gin glanced at Yusuke Suzuki. “It’s strange that you left the task of killing Shuichi Akai to Vermouth.”

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Yusuke feigned surprise, "Strange? What's so strange about that?"

He held up his fingers and began to count.

"I tried to take on Shuichi Akai alone, and I failed."

"I tried to take down Shuichi Akai with Vermouth, but we still failed."

"I tried to fight Shuichi Akai with you, and not only did I fail, you also got shot."

"Now Vermouth has failed to take on Shuichi Akai alone."

"You all tried to take down Shuichi Akai together, but you still failed."

After finishing his list, Suzuki Yusuke adopted a matter-of-fact expression. "You see, no matter what, it's a failure. Even by process of elimination, the problem isn't with me or Vermouth, is it?"
