The boy soldier next to the famous detective

Everyone was in a good mood after successfully helping to solve the case.

With one day left before their return trip, everyone could finally put aside unimportant matters and fully immerse themselves in their London trip.

Fusa finally finished her work and drove to London. After greeting everyone, she and Professor Agasa, who was smiling shyly at everyone, left first, preparing to spend some sweet time alone together.

Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, and Conan Edogawa planned to leisurely stroll around the tourist attractions and buy some souvenirs to take home.

Jonah was originally part of this team, but an urgent message from Japan disrupted his plans.

"Jonathan, there's an emergency."

"What is it?"

Upon receiving Dave's call, Jonah immediately slowed down and distanced himself from Kogoro Mouri and his group, who were walking and chatting ahead of him.

"You remember Ms. Red, whom we investigated in the UK before? She finally sent me a contact email, but it was an urgent request for help."

"She didn't go into details about what happened, only that she was attacked by the Black Organization and is currently being pursued. Her condition is very bad, and she needs our help."

"Are the Black Organization members in London?"

"Yes, I'm already on my way to the airport. It's the next flight, but it will still take 10 hours to get there. Jonathan, I'll need you to hang in there for those 10 hours."

"I understand, but I don't have a weapon."

"I've made the arrangements. Go to XXXX in a bit and ask to open safe number 301. The password is FKLM-4091. There are weapons I've prepared for you inside."

"understood."

"Okay, after you get your weapons and equipment, go to XXX and find Ms. Red. Knock four short knocks and two long knocks. She will ask who you are. You should say 'Do you need any drinks?' If no one is there, then contact her through the number XXX-XXXX. But remember, only use this number as a last resort if you can't find her."

"...Dave, there are so many, I can't remember them all."

"I know, so I'll send it to you via email later, but remember to delete it after you receive it."

"Okay, then I have no further questions."

"Yes, be careful. Although she is a partner we want to win over, our safety should be our top priority. Jonathan, don't be reckless. After all, London is not our home turf."

"It's okay, Dave. It's not our home turf, but it won't be the organization's home turf either."

"Hehe, you're such a good brother, your words are so inspiring! I'll be there soon, good luck on your end!"

"Um."

After hanging up the phone, Jonah glanced at the time on his watch and knew he didn't have much free time left.

Jonah took two steps forward and grabbed Conan Edogawa, making him slow down a bit. Meeting his questioning gaze, Jonah quickly spoke.

"Conan, I've run into some urgent business that I need to deal with. I'll be out of contact with you guys for the next 10 or so hours. Could you cover for me, Uncle and Ran? As for an excuse... just say that Aunt Fusae invited me over for a photo shoot. I'll make sure to talk to Dr. Agasa about it."

"Jonah, what happened? I can..."

His expression instantly turned serious, and Conan Edogawa stared intently at Jonah, trying to glean some information.

"You can't help me, Conan. This is a matter on our side."

"...Okay, I understand. Leave this to me, but you must be careful. You must send me a message after 10 hours. I will wait a maximum of 12 hours. If I don't receive any information from you, I will use every means at my disposal to find you."

"Okay, I've got it."

With Conan Edogawa's help, Jonah easily fooled Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri. He then headed towards the safe address given by Dave while contacting Professor Agasa, who was having dinner with Ms. Fusae.

Upon hearing Jonah's request, Professor Agasa's happy smile vanished. Like Conan Edogawa, he knew exactly what Jonah's complete exclusion of them meant.

Although he was extremely worried, Dr. Agasa knew that he couldn't really help much, and could only help Jonah handle the logistical matters.

Fusa was also puzzled by the news, but out of trust and affection for Professor Agasa and Jonah, she agreed. She would stand up and testify for Jonah if Kogoro and Ran Mouri felt something was amiss and wanted to contact them for verification.

Meanwhile, Jonah had arrived at the location of the safe. He changed his clothes, put on gloves, and wore a black raincoat that completely covered his face. Jonah took out a stack of British pounds, two pistols, four magazines, a submachine gun, two submachine gun magazines, a smoke grenade, and two defensive grenades from the safe.

Jonah packed all these items into his backpack, changed his route, and headed towards where Ms. Red was.

After a 33-minute journey, Jonah finally arrived at the seemingly ordinary hotel. He went down to the third floor through the emergency exit, found room number 3007, raised his hand, and knocked on the door rhythmically.

"Who is it?"

"...Would you like some alcohol?"

At the crucial moment, Jonah's memory of the dialogue suddenly became blurry. Unwilling to admit that his memory was so bad, Jonah gave what he thought was an accurate answer based on his recollection.

"..."

After the answer was given, silence fell over the room. After a while, the doorknob was slowly pressed down, and the door was slowly pulled open, so that Jonah could not see the person inside, but could hear the sounds.

"Come in quickly."

Raising an eyebrow, Jonah slipped through the crack in the door. As soon as he stepped into the room, the door slammed shut, and a gust of wind came from the bathroom on the side, hitting Jonah on the head.

The attack came quickly, but Jonah reacted even faster.

Bending down to dodge the attack, Jonah grabbed the attacker's arm and elbowed her in the chest, causing her to cough.

Jonah then didn't let go. He flipped over and, using the spin, lifted the person, who was slightly larger and more careful than himself, and flung him onto the carpet.

He stepped forward, pressed down on one knee, and the pistol at his waist slid into his hand, resting steadily on the head of the person below his knee. However, Jonah's gaze was fixed on the figure hiding behind the door, responsible for closing it. The person had originally wanted to help attack him but hadn't been able to keep up with the pace.

"Don't move, I'm here to help."

"...But your password is wrong."

"..." Upon hearing this, Jonah blinked, and under Sera Masumi's nervous gaze, he took out his phone from his pocket, opened the email Dave had sent him, and carefully read its contents.

"Ask me one more time."

"Huh? You, who are you?"

"Would you like some drinks?"

"...Are you really here to help? Why can't you even remember such a simple code!"
