Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

Vodka felt that the reason his older brother Gin was so angry was because he had been tricked by Shuichi Akai again.

More than the fact that the undercover agent list fell into the hands of the FBI, the older brother was probably more concerned about his defeat at the hands of Shuichi Akai...

Just as Vodka was lost in thought, Gin spoke up: "Tomorrow morning, we're going to Los Angeles. Bourbon and Kiel are the exceptions; you two stay here for now."

"Huh? But here..."

Vodka was about to tell Gin his thoughts when he saw Gin's piercing gaze and immediately shut his mouth.

"This is the BOSS's order."

After uttering those words, Gin got up and left the room.

Seeing this, Vodka quickly gave chase.

Grey Goose, Bourbon, and Kiel exchanged a silent glance before getting up and leaving the room.

Before leaving the room, a cryptic glint flashed in the eyes of both Bourbon and Kiel.

that night

Vodka kept glancing at Gin out of the corner of his eye while driving.

Seemingly noticing Vodka's gaze, Gin said calmly, "Keep an eye on Grey Goose for the foreseeable future."

"Hmm? Ah... okay, big brother!"

Upon hearing his elder brother's instructions, Vodka was stunned for a moment and almost couldn't react.

Did my brother mean something like...?

"Whether it was the previous assassination or this one... there's definitely a 'little bug' among us!"

"Brother, you suspect it's a gray goose?"

“It’s not just him.” Gin took a drag of his cigarette, his eyes filled with murderous intent and coldness.

During the last assassination mission, the FBI agents suddenly appeared.

The detailed plan that time was known only to the two of them, the Grey Goose, and Bacardi.

Although he had his suspicions about Kiel, he deliberately sent her away before finalizing the mission.

Therefore, the most suspicious individuals are Grey Goose, Bacardi, and... Vodka beside him, who know the details of the mission.

Bacardi had already been dealt with by him during that mission, so the suspects now are Grey Goose and Vodka beside him.

In dealing with the Irish matter, he had been keeping a close eye on Grey Goose, Bourbon, and Vodka, giving the three no chance to 'contact outsiders'.

However, judging from Shuichi Akai's appearance, the FBI clearly knew about their plan long ago, and even knew Ireland's identity.

He had his suspicions about Vermouth, but even though he hated the woman, he knew she couldn't possibly be an 'undercover agent'.

Moreover, after disguising himself as Irish, that guy boarded a plane to London not long afterward, completely unaware of what happened next.

"Brother, you mean bourbon is also a possibility..." Vodka exclaimed in surprise, realizing what was happening.

Upon hearing this, Gin glanced at Vodka indifferently and remained silent.

He did suspect Bourbon, but the BOSS ordered them to go to Los Angeles to carry out a mission and take care of the organization's undercover agents who had been exposed on the memory card.

Most of the undercover agents on that memory card were located in the United States.

Although none of them were important undercover agents, in order to deal with them before the FBI could find them, the BOSS ordered them to take action first.

Since Grey Goose would be going with them on the mission, Gin planned to take the opportunity to 'test' Grey Goose and Vodka.

As for Bourbon…

The boss said in a text message that Rum would be coming to Tokyo soon, and he planned to wait until then to talk to him.

……

same moment

On her way home, Kiel relayed the news that Gin and the others were preparing to head to Los Angeles to Judy in the FBI and her contact in the CIA.

the other side

Amuro Tooru returned to his apartment.

Although he didn't know why the BOSS would suddenly send Gin to Los Angeles, he was still relieved.

He went to the organization's base today with the mindset of "certain death".

Based on the previous 'Tokyo Tower' incident, he judged that the high-ranking officials of the Public Security Bureau and the Metropolitan Police Department must have some connection with the organization.

The thought that the high-ranking official who sent him to infiltrate the organization might be connected to the organization filled Amuro Tooru with an indescribable sense of suffocation.

Gin summoned him this time perhaps because he knows he's the undercover agent and is planning to eliminate him...

When he saw Gin's cold gaze earlier, even his usually calm heart started beating faster.

It wasn't until he left the base that he confirmed his undercover identity hadn't been exposed.

If he were truly exposed, given Gin's personality, there's no way he would leave the base.

However, he clearly saw the look in Gin's eyes before he left; he was definitely doubting them.

Thinking of this, Amuro Tooru's mind conjured up the faces of the grey goose and Gil.

According to Kazami Yuya's report, Ireland in Tokyo Tower was probably killed by Akai Shuichi.

But... how did that guy find out about this?

At this thought, a bold idea suddenly popped into his head—'Could it be that, besides me, one of those two is an FBI undercover agent?'

— "Buzzing"

Before Amuro could think any further, his cell phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.

He immediately snapped out of his thoughts and answered the phone.

"..."

"Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Amuro Tooru slumped onto the sofa, his mind racing.

The call just now was from his subordinate, Yuya Kazami. He only said one thing on the phone.

Their boss, Kuroda Heibei, will soon be transferred back to Tokyo.

Although this matter seems unrelated to the orders given to Gin and the others by the organization's boss today.

But after personally experiencing the 'Tokyo Tower incident,' he immediately suspected that these two seemingly unrelated events might have some connection that he was unaware of.

The only good news right now is that Gin doesn't know he's an undercover agent, or rather... it's not certain yet.

After thinking for a moment, Amuro Tooru got up, poured himself a glass of water, walked slowly to the window, and sighed helplessly.

"Jing, if it were you, what would you do..."

Chapter 372 The rumors are all false.

The next afternoon

The entrance to Teitan High School.

Ryūno and his three friends were walking home from school.

"By the way, Ran, have you changed your cosmetics recently? Your skin looks especially radiant today!" Sonoko stared at Ran's face intently for a while before asking curiously.

Xiaolan's skin was already very good, but she felt that Xiaolan's skin looked even more delicate and rosy today.

"No~" Xiaolan waved her hand with a smile.

Hearing their conversation, Longye also took a closer look at Xiaolan's face.

Sonoko wasn't wrong; Ran's skin did look different today.

Could it be that they took a 'slightly' long bath yesterday?

After returning home from dinner yesterday, they did indeed spend a long time in the bathroom...

Thinking of this, Longye's lips curled up slightly.

This also shows that Xiaolan really likes fireworks.

His grand fireworks show was well worth it.

After hearing Ran's denial, Sonoko turned her head and glanced at Ryuno again.

Not just Ran, she felt that Ryuno's skin looked great today too.

"No, never mind then. I was hoping you could recommend someone... Wait, I just remembered something important!!"

At this point, Sonoko suddenly remembered something and looked excitedly at Ryuno and the other two.

"Let's go skiing in a few days! My dad's friend gave us a lot of accommodation tickets the day before yesterday! I think it's in a place called 'Ze,' they're having a snow festival there right now~"

"Anyway, my dad and the others don't have time to go, so let's use the tickets and go have fun for a couple of days!"

"A snow festival?" Longye and the others exclaimed in unison.

“Yeah, that’s right! It sounds really fun, doesn’t it?” Sonoko nodded with her eyes closed.

"I'm sorry, Sonoko, I have something to do in a few days, so I probably won't be able to go..." Sera Masumi said with a wry smile, her hands clasped together.

Although she really wanted to go, too many things had happened recently.

Both she and her mother were gathering information from all sides as much as possible and thinking about the next steps and plans.

Seeing that Sera Masumi couldn't come, Sonoko sighed regretfully, "It's okay... but it seems like we haven't gone out together yet. If you suddenly have time, be sure to let us know!"

After saying that, Sonoko opened her eyes wide and put on a pitiful expression as she looked at Ryuno and Ran.

Where are you two, husband and wife?

Upon hearing this, Longye and Xiaolan exchanged a smile and said, "We should be fine."

Upon hearing their replies, Sonoko's 'grievance' vanished instantly, and she laughed twice, "Then it's settled! I'd be so bored if neither of you could come!"

"Seriously, Sonoko, you're always exaggerating like that~" Ran covered her mouth and laughed.

……

Shortly after, Sera Masumi returned to the hotel with dinner.
