Save Pisk or kill Pisk; there are no other options.

Although she held a high position in the organization and could make her own decisions, since Jiang Hang was an unknown variable X, she immediately contacted the organization's BOSS and reported all the details so that he could make the decision.

The organization's boss's reply was very concise: a short "clean up the mess," which effectively sealed the fate of Pisco, the organization member who had served him since childhood.

"As ruthless as ever," Vermouth murmured.

After that, she contacted Gin again.

There was no way around it; there were quite a few cadres in the organization, but very few she could be sure weren't undercover agents.

To be precise, Gin is, after all, the one who deals with traitors. If he were not trustworthy, the organization would have collapsed long ago.

The others were either incompetent like Vodka, who blindly followed Gin's orders and had little independent thought, or too cunning to be fully trusted, like the mysterious Rum who always liked to hide his secrets.

In addition, Bourbon, who has been quite active under Rum recently, is also included.

In short, it's better to keep things simple when dealing with this kind of thing. Since the boss has said to handle it cleanly, it's only natural to contact Gin for help.

Jiang Hang was unaware that Vermouth was preparing to summon Gin to do something, but he could guess that Vermouth was definitely going to take action against Pisco. He just didn't know how Vermouth planned to deal with him.

Is it better to use Vermouth's disguise skills to sneak into the Metropolitan Police Department, assassinate Pisco unnoticed, and then escape, or to take him down with a single long-range sniper shot, like Gin did?

However, this has nothing to do with him anymore. Anyway, he has done what he was supposed to do in this case. As for the rest of the headaches, Vermouth can figure them out herself.

Before leaving, Jiang Hang wanted to remind Vermouth not to forget their agreement, but after thinking about it, he felt that such behavior was a bit like killing someone's spirit. In order to avoid Vermouth's wrath, he decided not to go up and cause trouble for himself.

After greeting Inspector Megure and receiving his thanks, Jiang Hang, having easily solved the case, left the hastily concluded memorial service with Shizuka Sakaki, who had already obtained an autographed photo of the famous actress Chris Vineyard.

......

Unsurprisingly, the top news trending the next day became the case from the previous night.

The fact that a legislator who accepted huge bribes was murdered by the chairman of a car company while attending a memorial service for a famous director on the eve of his arrest, and that the incident was filmed by someone, is already quite a suspicious story.

What's even more intriguing is that a car accident occurred during the police's transport of the chairman, resulting in the immediate death of the suspect. The police still don't know why the suspect killed the congressman.

Then, the accompanying photos in these news reports were quite consistent. First, there were the photos of the crime scene taken by the gossip reporter, which made all of Japan aware of Kenzo Masuyama's murder of Representative Shigehiko Tonoguchi, and also inevitably revealed the secret relationship between the two "real protagonists" in the photos.

This clandestine relationship suddenly became a national couple known throughout Japan. Jiang Hang wondered if the two of them could handle it; he thought it was a bit risky.

Secondly, there are photos of the car accident scene.

The scene of the car accident was horrific, but fortunately there weren't too many casualties. The Black Organization's attitude was clear: they absolutely could not let Pisco live. This car accident has brought the organization into the sights of the Japanese political world. It's just unknown whether the political world will also pretend to add new infiltrators to the organization.

In short, Jiang Hang estimates that this news will stay on the front page for a day or two. Even after the hype dies down, this case will likely be embellished by countless people who love urban legends.

Because Jiang Hang played an extremely important role in this case, he received a call from Nichiri TV the very next day, saying that the detective program, which was originally scheduled to start recording two episodes later, had been moved up to the next day.

It can only be said that Nichiri TV is indeed good at riding the wave of trending topics.

After having Shizuka Sakaki and Yuno Koharu handle a ton of business calls, Jiang Hang originally planned to go out and do some good deeds and maybe rack up some mission rewards. But he was unexpectedly blocked in his own detective agency by an uninvited guest.

The unexpected guest was none other than Shiho Miyano, who rarely left Professor Agasa's house.

Shiho Miyano's disguise skills have now reached a point where she can go out without worrying about her disguise melting off, unless there is a typhoon or heavy rain.

Moreover, under Jiang Hang's guidance and with the learning buff from the Assassin System, many of Miyano Shiho's personal habits left behind in the organization have been adjusted and changed. Even the most familiar people probably wouldn't recognize Miyano Shiho now.

Upon seeing Shiho Miyano's sudden arrival, Jiang Hang, having roughly discerned her purpose, could only temporarily halt his good deed for the day and directly led Shiho Miyano to his room for a secret discussion.

Shizuka Sakaki seemed a little nervous when she saw Shiho Miyano arrive.

She was already quite familiar with the other person's existence.

After all, she had already met the other person when they first arrived, and they had even traveled to Kyoto and Osaka together a few days ago, during which they naturally exchanged ideas.

Of course, she doesn't know the other person's true identity yet, only that the other person's sisters' names are "Ai Haibara" and "Masami Nagasawa".

She didn't know why the two sisters had different surnames, nor did she understand why Jiang Hang would teach them the art of disguise. But she knew how much Jiang Hang valued these two people, and she knew that Jiang Hang must have his reasons for doing so. If he was unwilling to tell the truth, then she would just wait patiently for the day when he was willing to tell her everything.

Ms. Nagasawa is now the de facto manager of the art museum. The Beika Art Museum was on the verge of being converted into a hotel due to poor management, but now, under Ms. Nagasawa's management, the number of visitors every month is increasing at a considerable rate.

As for Ms. Haibara, she seems to be a scientific researcher. Although Shizuka Sakaki doesn't know what she is researching, she has occasionally overheard Jiang Hang and Ms. Haibara talking. They seem to be talking about some kind of medicine. In any case, given Shizuka Sakaki's level of knowledge after graduating from high school and going to a voice acting school, she can't understand what the two of them are talking about at all.

It was precisely because she couldn't understand that Shizuka Sakaki seemed somewhat reserved in front of him.

However, since the other party usually doesn't come over on their own initiative, Shizuka Sakaki felt a little better.

The other person arrived suddenly today, and judging from her appearance, she seemed to have something very important to talk to Jiang Hang about. They even went into Jiang Hang's bedroom together.

Although Shizuka Sakaki knew it was most likely serious business and reminded herself not to overthink it, she couldn't help but wonder what the two of them were talking about in the room.

Yoshino Kiharu, however, found it somewhat amusing to see Shizuka Sakaki fidgeting like that.

As long as she doesn't get involved, it'll be another day of enjoying gossip and shipping various couples.

I saw spoilers for the latest Detective Conan movie last night. Although I don't know if they're true or not, I do feel a bit uneasy.

If it's true, then I can only say that Aoyama has really figured out the mentality of people who enjoy entertainment. If it's released in China, I'll definitely go to the cinema to see it.

Chapter 434: Chapter 430: Shiho Miyano's Speculation about Vermouth

In Jiang Hang's bedroom, Shiho Miyano looked somewhat serious, and the atmosphere in the bedroom was not at all as ambiguous as Shizuka Sakaki had imagined.

Jiang Hang was not surprised by Shiho Miyano's sudden visit; it was about the case from the previous night.

Although last night's case didn't take Jiang Hang much effort, and the elements of reasoning were pitifully few.

However, because this case involves too many factors and a wide range of people, coupled with the crime scene image that quickly spread online, the case of Shigehiko Tonoguchi is now being discussed quite heatedly online.

As for the official attitude, it is quite subtle now. At least they have not held a formal press conference to explain the whole story of this case.

After all, they hadn't had time to thoroughly investigate what organization was behind Kenzo Masuyama before he was silenced.

As for the car company founded by Kenzo Masuyama, the authorities are currently conducting an intensive investigation, but given the Black Organization's style, they probably won't find much useful information about the company.

And what about the descendants of Kenzo Masuyama?

It is also a pity that Kenzo Masuyama did not leave any direct descendants in official records, and there were not many people related to him, so it is not an easy task to start from this point.

The Metropolitan Police Department must be having a headache over this too—they caught the culprit, but due to their own negligence, a big fish slipped right through their fingers.

Although they were aware of the Black Organization's existence, it didn't mean that the Black Organization was the only terrorist organization in Japan.

To be precise, in Japan where yakuza are legal, there are far too many of these messy organizations, and even if the authorities wanted to control them now, it wouldn't be an easy task.

The Mud Ginseng Association, Japan's largest yakuza organization; the Black Organization, which has sent undercover agents but has yet to uncover its core intelligence; and another mysterious assassin organization similar to the Black Organization, searching the world for various rare gems...

They even have a spy they sent to infiltrate the Black Organization who recently sent back a more mysterious "Assassin Brotherhood." It seems that this mysterious organization has recently caused the Black Organization a lot of losses. It is unknown whether this mysterious organization is related to this case.

In short, only God knows how many secret organizations are hidden on this tiny Japanese island.

Currently, without conclusive evidence, they can only harbor suspicions about the Black Organization. However, to avoid alerting them, this information cannot be disclosed to the public.

Although the Metropolitan Police Department has not yet focused its prime suspicion on the Black Organization, and various wild speculations are circulating online, Shiho Miyano had already concluded this morning, upon seeing the news, that the case was definitely the organization's doing.

After all, after Jiang Hang rescued her from the research institute, her sister had told her about Jiang Hang's efforts during that time.

Jiang Hang then went on to explain this past event in more detail, and she also shared some organizational information she knew with Jiang Hang as a reference.

She remembered that when Jiang Hang was looking for her, he had come into contact with a secret base of the organization because of a case, and obtained a lot of useful information from that secret base before the organization destroyed the leaked secret base.

Among them, Kenzo Masuyama and Shigehiko Tobuchi were the key figures Jiang Hang found at that secret base. Later, Jiang Hang relied on Kenzo Masuyama to find out about the Karasuma Group, and then further investigated the research institute where she was located.

Therefore, when Shiho Miyano saw that the murderer was Kenzo Masuyama and the victim was Shigehiko Tobuchi, she already knew the details of the case.

To be honest, after seeing this case and learning that it was Jiang Hang who solved it, Shiho Miyano couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The organization specifically sent Kenzo Masuyama to deal with Shigehiko Tunguchi, who was about to be arrested, to prevent him from revealing anything about the organization. Although the case ended with Kenzo Masuyama being caught on camera committing the crime without his knowledge, the police probably wouldn't have noticed the photo so quickly if it weren't for Jiang Hang.

Given the organization's vindictive nature, the reporter who took the photo and Jiang Hang, who discovered it, will likely be noticed by them.

It was for this reason that Shiho Miyano came to Jianghang early in the morning to tell him to be careful in the near future and not to let anyone find an opportunity to be alone.

Jiang Hang felt quite touched by Shiho Miyano's reminder.

After all, Shiho Miyano had no idea that he was now considered an untouchable figure by the Black Organization, and that Jiang Hang had even begun to plan to develop the Black Organization into his own tool.

He nodded to Shiho Miyano to indicate that he would be more careful.

To Jiang Hang's surprise, after a moment's hesitation, Shiho Miyano brought up another crucial piece of information.

"There's one more thing. I saw the name Chris Vineyard among the people who attended the memorial service last night. She's the Hollywood actress. You've probably met her before."

Hearing this, Jiang Hang's heart stirred, but he still nodded to Shiho Miyano: "I did see her. After all, to be honest, yesterday's memorial service was because Shizuka really liked her movies, so after seeing that I had received an invitation to this memorial service, she specifically asked me to take her there. At the memorial service, I even took Shizuka to get her autograph."

After recounting what happened last night, Jiang Hang asked knowingly, "Could it be that this Chris Vineyard is also a member of your organization?"

When Jiang Hang asked her questions, Shiho Miyano's attitude was not very certain.

"I can't be 100% sure of her identity, but she definitely has a very close connection with the organization."

"Before I left the organization, there was an important member codenamed 'Vermouth,' who in previous years used the identity of Chris Vineyard's mother, the same 'Sharon Vineyard' who won an Oscar for Best Actress."

Shiho Miyano earnestly recounted the organization's secrets to Jiang Hang, a frankness that surprised him.

After all, in Jiang Hang's memory, Shiho Miyano in the original manga, after taking the A drug and becoming Ai Haibara, was mainly a riddle teller.

She knows a lot about what's going on in the organization, but she just won't bring it up. She only suddenly jumps out and says, "I actually know about this," after Conan's investigation of the organization has progressed to a certain point.

Of course, there might be some things she genuinely doesn't remember, but more likely it's because of her fear and avoidance of the organization that she's unwilling to recall that memory. This is why Ai Haibara is basically a not-so-sensitive radar for the Black Organization in the story, only popping up afterward to announce her presence to everyone.

And because of Jiang Hang's appearance, many things in this world have changed.

Miyano Akemi was not killed by the organization. The power behind Jiang Hang, who rescued them, is no weaker than that of the Black Organization. In addition, with the disguise skills that the sisters currently possess, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack for the Black Organization to find them.

If I had to say, the only thing Jianghang might lack is that her research funding and equipment aren't as good as what she has in the organization.

However, thanks to Jiang Hang's brilliant ideas and Conan, who is currently the only surviving APTX4869 user she has discovered, her research progress on APTX4869 is actually much faster than it was in the organization.

Under these circumstances, the threat posed by the Black Organization no longer seemed so imminent to them.

It can be said that Shiho Miyano's only worry now is that Jiang Hang's existence will be noticed by the Black Organization.

Now that Jiang Hang might have caught the attention of the Black Organization, Shiho Miyano's brain started working at lightning speed, and she recalled many things she hadn't thought about before.

“I remember that when I was in the organization, Vermouth was always a rather mysterious figure. But I don’t know why, ever since I took over the project that my parents left behind, Vermouth has always seemed to harbor some hostility towards me.”

Shiho Miyano analyzed this for Jiang Hang, then took out her phone and found a few photos.

The first two photos are of Sharon Vineyard in her youth and middle age, and the last photo is of Chris Vineyard.
