The boy soldier next to the famous detective

"Really? I'll be waiting for you to come find me."

After scoffing, Gin hung up the phone, having no intention of continuing the conversation with Jonah.

Seeing this, Jonah thought for a moment, then took the cell phone of the organization leader whom Gin called "Graba," and also took all the guns and bullets on his body, and quickly returned to the jeep.

"Jonathan, how's it going?"

"He's dead."

Jonah knelt down to check on the emergency treatment Dave had given him and found that the injury was better than he had imagined, which put Jonah at ease.

After all, Dave took that bullet for Jonah, and if something had really happened, Jonah would have felt extremely guilty.

"Well done, you're truly my good brother."

He grinned and gave Jonah a thumbs-up, but the movement aggravated his wound, making his smile look painful and awkward, but Dave was still in a good mood.

Having always operated alone, Dave had many good opportunities, but he had to give them up because he couldn't make a safe retreat by himself. Now that he has Jonah, Dave feels incredibly relieved!

"Why did you take a bullet for me?"

Seeing Dave's cheerful expression, Jonah, not wanting to keep his doubts to himself, asked directly.

Jonah believes that although Dave has been preparing equipment for him and helping him during this time, in the end, the two are just collaborators who have joined forces because they share the same goal—to destroy the Black Organization.

Helping each other is fine in normal times, but in the event of a life-or-death crisis, self-preservation should be the top priority.

"Huh? What kind of talk is that? Taking a bullet for my brother, what's the big deal?"

Unexpectedly, Dave looked even more puzzled when faced with Jonah's question, as if wondering why Jonah would ask such an illogical question.

"No way, Jonathan! You don't know you still don't consider me a brother anymore?! I'm so heartbroken. We've been through so much together, haven't I reached your heart yet?! Oh no! This is just too painful!"

Jonah blinked as he watched Dave suddenly start acting exaggeratedly after realizing what had happened, a feeling of both disgust and amusement rising within him.

"We've only known each other for less than a month, but Dave, you're definitely a good friend of mine."

"They're good brothers, comrades who can rely on each other's backs!"

"Yes, they are comrades-in-arms."

Jonah nodded slowly, not denying Dave's statement, which made Dave grin even wider.

"Alright, let's go. This place is no longer suitable for us to stay."

Despite his still severe abdominal pain, Dave bravely got into the jeep and drove away from the hunters' rest area in the mountains.

When Jonah and Dave returned to their secluded parking spot and started their journey to Tokyo in another car, Dave's cell phone on the dashboard suddenly rang.

Dave glanced at the caller ID, which was hidden, and curled his lip. He turned to Jonah and said, "Jonathan, answer this phone for me. He's an annoying guy."

"it is good."

After a moment of surprise, Jonah picked up his phone and answered the call. The instant he selected speakerphone, he heard an exasperated voice coming from the phone.

"Dave, you bastard! How much more trouble are you going to cause? You've killed nearly 20 people, and there are so many children to deal with. What were you thinking, letting a Japanese public security officer clean up your mess? Is your brain filled with cheese sauce?!"

"Damn it, talk to me! Don't wait for me, I'm going straight to your safe house..."

"Hello Mr. Amuro, Dave is driving and can't speak right now, so I'll answer for him."

"...Oh, it's little brother Jonathan. Did Dave drag you along on the mission today? I knew that with that bastard Dave around, we wouldn't have such precise sniping skills. You killed that guy in the forest too, right? You're really something."

"Tsk, Amuro, the change in your tone disgusts me."

"Shut up, you bastard! I'm not going to bother yelling at you because little Jonathan's here. You'll see next time we meet!"

Suppressing his anger and not wanting to swear in front of the children, Amuro Tooru took a deep breath to compose himself and began to ask what had happened.

Amuro Tooru only received a call from Dave, informing him that Dave was going to take action against a human trafficking group that was cooperating with the organization, and asked him to help with the placement of the children behind them. However, it wasn't until Kazami Yuya arrived at the scene and sent him photos of the scene that Amuro Tooru realized something was wrong.

He didn't recognize the others, but Amuro Tooru knew Graba, who died in the forest.

He was the head of a secret training base in the Tokyo area, and Graba was one of the examiners when Amuro Tooru officially joined the organization.

Although he doesn't handle many field missions and spends most of his time training people, occasionally taking on the task of receiving new trainees, Graba's skills and marksmanship are among the best in the organization.

As a result, this kind of organizational cadre was actually confronted head-on by Jonah.

His eyes flickered slightly. Although Amuro Tooru knew that Jonah was extraordinary, he did not expect Jonah's performance to exceed his expectations.

After blinking and seeing that Dave and Amuro Tooru had stopped their verbal attacks, Jonah quickly recounted what he knew.

Upon hearing Jonah mention that he had also received a call from Gin, Amuro Tooru couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Although he doesn't cooperate with Gin much, as the head of the organization's field team in Japan, Gin has always been a key target of Amuro Tooru's investigations, so he naturally knows him very well.

Amuro Tooru could easily imagine how furious Gin would be after Jonah's provocative act of killing Graba and answering the phone.

The organization already has a lot of spies and rats, and Gin can't kill them all normally. Now, another pure black executive he knows by heart has been killed by Jonah.

That's so tragic (covers mouth and laughs).

Having received some encouraging information, Amuro Tooru happily took over the finishing touches, leaving Jonah and Dave with absolutely no worries.

When Jonah returned to the detective agency, Conan Edogawa immediately pulled Jonah into his room to ask what had happened. After learning about Jonah's actions, Conan gave him a very high evaluation.

Putting aside the murder, successfully rescuing the children and giving Gin a good dressing down is absolutely commendable!

"Jonah, we're going to Beihu Department Store tomorrow. Is there anything you want as a toy or gift? I can buy it for you!"

"Beihu Department Store has..."

"We don't sell guns, we don't sell gun parts, and we don't even have raw materials for explosives. What a pity, Jonah (dead fish eyes)."

"What's the point of opening a shopping mall if you have nothing?"

"This is Japan! Not an American shopping mall!"

"Isn't Japan part of the United States?"

"...That's a really vulgar insult. Jonah, you have to promise me you won't say that to anyone else, okay? They'll definitely get angry and attack you!"

"It's okay, most people can't beat me."

"It's not about who's better at fighting!!!"
