Conan's Helping People

I really got in touch with Kudo Yusaku after sitting in the dessert shop for half an hour.

Kudo Shinichi is like an extremely difficult child, choosing this now and that now, and having all kinds of whims and childlike tantrums.

He acted pitifully, "But I just want to eat ice cream cake!"

When the clerk faced him, he showed a soft-hearted and fearful expression. He was soft-hearted about his current appearance as a cute child, but afraid of his difficult and naughty behavior.

She glanced at the police officer in awe, in awe that this police officer could resist beating such a cute child who deserved a beating.

The police officers knew that Kudo Shinichi was pretending, and they probably guessed that he was pretending to show dangerous people, so they cooperatively showed a headache and gave him a veto, "No."

"The ice cream cake is too cold. It's so cold now that children can't eat it."

Mao Lilan added in a low voice beside her, "When I was with the police officer sister just now, I heard her mention the suicide case and said it was a bit bloody and not suitable for children to watch."

"That's why we won't be allowed to go, Shinichi."

She filled in the question of "Kudo Shinichi used to be a very smart and sensible child, why he suddenly became so troublesome" and expressed that "Kudo Shinichi wanted to go to the scene of the crime, but was stopped, so he tried to find a way to pester people to achieve the goal."

own purpose'.

Next to him, a man carefully selected a birthday cake for his girlfriend, and after asking another clerk carefully, he finally finished the selection. He paid, scheduled to pick up the cake a few hours later, and then turned around and walked out of the dessert shop.

Kudo Shinichi, who was still lying on the counter, paid attention to him. It wasn't until he left the dessert shop that he breathed a sigh of relief. He then braced himself up and acted as if he was unwilling to compromise, "Okay..."

It was at this time that Kudo Yusaku called back.

Kudo Shin answered it in a second, took the phone to the corner of the transparent glass window, "Hello!"

"I have a general understanding of the matter," Kudo Yusaku said, and he reassured him immediately, "You don't need to worry yet."

"I didn't expect you to encounter such an unexpected situation so quickly. In fact, I knew something about it a month ago."

The channels are divided into two, one is ‘police intelligence’ and the other is ‘private investigation’.

Most of the police intelligence is about changes in the situation in recent months, mainly provided by Hyuga Roshi and several other undercover agents who cannot be named.

He simply recounted what happened from the combination of the two points.

[First, there is indeed a black dangerous person who is in contact with Hinata, and he is a member of a black transnational illegal organization. 】

[Second, they didn’t just focus on Hinata Reason recently, but they focused on him more than ten years ago because his parents were members of the organization. 】

[Third, although Hinata’s real parents are members of the organization, they are not cruel people. They are talented scientific researchers who were deceived into the organization. After discovering the true situation, they decisively contacted the police and firmly chose justice. 】

[Fourth, police from various countries launched a joint encirclement and suppression operation, which failed miserably. At the same time, Hinata's parents died in the fire, and the corresponding code names and resumes within the police were directly sealed, waiting to be opened next time. 】

[5. After the death of two righteous people who unfortunately died, the organization took over their young children.]

The organization sent the eldest child, who was already sensible, to normal school and became an ordinary member of the organization. She would not have access to any secrets of the organization, ensuring that even if she held a grudge, she would not do any harm to the organization.

As for the youngest child, who has no memory at all, the organization focuses on cultivating her, hoping that she will become as outstanding a scientific research genius as her parents, but will not betray the organization.

At the same time, control the time she meets with other relatives to ensure loyalty.

Hinata is the child in the middle who developed psychological problems in the fire where his parents died. The organization takes care of both, handing him over to organization members for adoption while keeping an eye on him and adjusting his arrangements based on his actual situation.

Now, the organization has been adjusted, and its positioning is: an excellent seedling with great potential.

Hinata is reasonably smart, keen, and cold-tempered. He is simply a born criminal. Based on his performance at the murder scene, whether he commits the crime himself or uses his identity to collect intelligence, he will definitely achieve miraculous results. He is a capable knife.

The ice blade that penetrates the human heart.

When he heard this, Kudo Shinichi gritted his teeth: Treating a detective as a born criminal is really...

A condescending contempt and insult.

[Six, Hinata is now a formal member of an illegal organization. 】

Kudo Shinichi didn't have any reaction. He had met Hinata Roshi with the FBI on the plane to New York. He didn't think about "Hinata Riko is really a black person". He didn't interrupt and continued to listen patiently.

Listen to the inversion.

Kudo Yusaku paused, then smiled and continued to explain the key points.

[Seven, Hinata has reasonable contact with the police.]

"A month ago, the police launched some operations," Kudo Yusaku said, "and arrested some directors of fireworks and firecracker factories."

"Now, the fireworks and firecrackers still sold in Tokyo are all transported from other places."

The sudden launch of a crackdown on fireworks and firecrackers was because the police received a message that an organization was planning to blow up Tokyo Tower.

[Eight, the previous leader passed away and the new leader took office.]

Kudo Yusaku said: "The new leader is a member with a somewhat strange code name. According to police information, he turned out to be the head of the Tokyo Operations Team. The previous leader died in Tokyo, so, of course, he became the new leader.

"

"His code name is Gin."

I say he's weird because... he's really weird.

Gin, a member of the action team, is supposed to be very martial. He is also the person in charge of the action team. He should have some intelligence added to this martial profile. He can also be the leader. He can be said to be a brave and strategic person.

A dangerous person who makes quick decisions.

However, he...

"Gin is Mr. Hinata's 'leader'," Kudo Yusaku said. "Because his parents work in the organization's scientific research institute, Mr. Hinata often participates in activities at the scientific research institute. The former leader attached great importance to the research of the scientific research institute and occasionally went there.

Scientific Research Institute.”

"He is an older man and has no children of his own, so he takes great care of Mr. Hinata."

"Mr. Hinata was also present when he passed away and left his will."

Kudo Shinichi captured the key information: 'The former leader was an old man without children of his own, and he took great care of Hinata Reason. When he passed away, Hinata Reason was also present.' He translated this message: The former leader most likely regarded Hinata Reason as his own child.

.

When he received this message, he immediately realized why Kudo Yusaku's tone was a little weird when he mentioned gin just now.

How would a current leader treat the ‘children’ of the previous leader?

Moreover, Hinata was the one who accepted Gin into the organization.

...Also, the former leader regarded Hinata as his own child. When he passed away, Hinata was also present. Then...then what was his will?

Should the next leader take good care of Hinata, should Hinata be more dedicated to the organization, or should Hinata become the next leader?

After thinking about it, Kudo Shinichi eliminated the last thought: Hinata's reasonable contact with the black organization was too short, and it would be impossible for the former leader to hand over the organization to him.

"Gin values ​​Mr. Hinata very much. Whether he is handling official business or taking personal actions, he will always take Mr. Hinata with him," Kudo Yusaku said calmly, "Every move Mr. Hinata makes must be within his field of vision."

Ah, this...

Kudo Shinichi held the phone and thought for a while, then said in disbelief: "Wait a minute, is there something wrong with the organization?"

And it's not a minor problem, it's a pretty serious problem.

Based on the description of 'every move is within sight' and what happened just now, Kudo Shinichi joined forces and speculated that the silver-haired man in black was probably Gin.

However, is it normal for the leader of a transnational criminal organization that has caused disastrous defeats for police forces in various countries to appear on the street so unremarkably, with only two people and no other subordinates?

Of course not.

And 'it's reasonable to carry Hinata with you' is too weird.

"Yes," Kudo Yusaku said, "The police received information that the organization is falling apart."

He explained it again:

The organization is quite powerful, and the former leader can strategize and control the overall situation, but that does not mean that the current leader can do the same, at least not in the early stages of taking office.

And there are some doubts about the death of the leader.

Gin detained the body of the former leader and did not allow anyone to inspect it, nor did he allow anyone to recommend a forensic doctor for an autopsy. All others could see was a death certificate that lightly stated that he died of illness.

This almost clearly throws "Yes, I killed the leader and took over" in everyone's face.

Others were certainly not convinced.

Among the unconvinced crowd, there was one person that the police cared about very much: Rum.

It is said that he holds a top position in the organization, is a confidant of the former leader, knows a lot of confidential documents in the organization, and is an important figure who can easily defeat the organization once he confesses.

Rum was quite dissatisfied with Gin, thinking that he was a big-tailed wolf who took advantage of the situation. He found clues from the arrangements made by the previous leader before his death, and put forward the reasonable guess that "Hinata is the successor", and he and Gin's group were engaged in fierce competition.

Infighting within the organization.

The scene of internal strife is Tokyo.

So Tokyo is quite unsafe recently.

Following Tokyo's lead, other places followed the example and began to engage in small things openly, which made Gin particularly annoyed.

After listening, Kudo Shinichi roughly understood why it was reasonable for Gin to bind Hinata.

He was a bit confused: Then, wouldn't the police also learn from their example, make some small moves, and take the opportunity to catch all the gin and rum together?

In that case, Hinata will be the only one left in Tokyo who can manage the organization with confidence and cooperate with the police to swallow up the organization.

At least it can swallow up Tokyo's organization.

In other places, you can also try to defeat them with other plans.

Not long after Kudo Shinichi raised this question, Kudo Yusaku made a twist, "Gin is confident that Mr. Hinata will never betray him."

"Mr. Hinata's collateral relatives are still in the organization. His sister is now a member of the action team, and his sister is still working in the scientific research institute."

but.

Kudo Yusaku paused, "There is probably a rum lady."

He is a "white-haired", "female", "marshmallow-like" member of the organization, and his codename should be Curacao.

A reasonable relationship with Hinata should be... relatively close.

However, it was not easy to explain this to children. Kudo Yusaku said: "So the police cannot intervene hastily. They can only wait for the opportunity to catch them all. Otherwise, the people Mr. Hinata cares about will be killed."

It is clear that he can balance 'the people he cares about will not be hurt' and 'catch all the organization in one sweep', so Hinata would not cooperate with the police in an action that could only choose one of the two.

Kudo Shinichi didn't respond immediately. He thought about the information for a while before asking for the follow-up.

Then what?

This information is very subtle and complex, and it is top secret information. Kudo Shinichi can guess that there are very few people in the police who know this information.

So the question is, why did Yuzu Kudo tell him this?

"Shinichi," Kudo Yusaku said gently, "after the fiasco ten years ago, the police did not just surrender. Instead, they have been trying to arrange ninjas into the organization."

"A lot of good police officers have died because of this."

"It is gratifying that there are also some police officers who have established a firm foothold in the organization and obtained some intelligence, allowing the police to understand the organization better."

"Not long ago, an undercover police officer received a mission," he said slowly and methodically, the key point of Article 9, "to eradicate 'Hirota Masami'."

Eradicate... Masami Hirota?

After reacting for a few seconds, Kudo Shinichi almost jumped up on the spot, "Wait a minute, Ms. Hirota???"

"The requirements of the mission must confirm that 'Masami Hirota' is really dead," Kudo Yusaku said, "The time will be three days later."

"That day, Miss Hirota will perform a mission."

"Isn't Ms. Hirota the guardian of Brother Hinata?" Kudo Shinichi asked anxiously, "What did she know and is she going to be silenced?"

Then something suddenly occurred to me.

"Wait...Hinata-nii's sister...?"

Kudo Shinichi has a very good impression of Hirota Masami, because she is too gentle, her whole figure is like a gentle and harmless white cloud, and her attitude towards Hinata Reason is also quite friendly, and she really cares about Hinata Reason.

Coupled with the fact that he mentioned before that "Hinata has a biological sister and a younger sister", he suddenly had an idea.

Kudo Yusaku replied: "Mr. Hinata's father's surname is Miyano."

Miyano.

Kudo Shinichi knew this surname. After it was in the news, some media and others tried to find reasons for Hinata, so Hirota Masami moved him and deliberately changed the surname on the door to an unrelated surname, which was [Miyano]

].

Whether it was before or after the move, Kudo Shinichi never actually went to Hinata Reason's house. He only learned about it from some police officers at the scene when he followed Kudo Yusaku to solve the case.

His voice lowered, "It's really Miss Hirota..."

So the question is, who would want to eradicate Hirota Masami?

In other words, if Hirota Masami dies, who will benefit?

...it's all possible.

This is a chess game in which Rum and Gin each have pieces. Gin can say, "The person who killed your sister is Rum, and he wants to sow discord between us." Rum can say, "The real murderer of your sister is Gin."

He wants you to deal with me more viscerally'.

Correspondingly, Gin's side is 'How could I kill your sister? Only those who want to sow discord would want to kill her', while Rum's side is 'How could I possibly do such a simple and straightforward act of pointing out that I am the murderer?

Can you do it? You're not an idiot'.

Kudo Shinichi didn't worry too much about Hirota Masami.

——The police will definitely protect her.

He frowned and thought for more than ten seconds, turning most of his attention to the situation. Regardless of rum or gin, he probably wanted to play a reasonable game through Hinata.

"Shinichi," Kudo Yusaku's tone was still gentle, as if he was discussing with a friend, "I plan to send you to Los Angeles in the near future."

"With Xiaolan."

This is why he told Kudo Shinichi most of the information.

Kudo Yusaku could of course coax Kudo Shinichi out of danger first, and reassure him regularly so that even if he had doubts, he would not be able to find any definite evidence that could support his direct flight back to Tokyo. After everything was over and Tokyo was safe, he could

Tell him all the truth.

Of course, you don’t have to tell me.

However, Kudo Shinichi is not only a child, but also a detective reserve.

Protecting him too much will only make him suffer more.

Kudo Yusaku said: "If you are willing, Shinichi."

If Kudo Shinichi is willing to go to Los Angeles, he will immediately prepare the plane and pack the child and fly it to Los Angeles quickly.

When Kudo Yusaku was thinking about this, he only thought about it for three seconds.

He probably thinks too much.

Kudo Shinichi did not hesitate for three seconds and said almost immediately: "I won't go!"

As expected.

"If you are not willing," Kudo Yusaku chuckled, "then from now on, we must prepare for a fierce battle."

"For those who have sacrificed, for those who are sacrificing, and for those who will sacrifice in the future."
