My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Big man?

She had some doubts, but she assumed the other party was just asking about the latest progress of the medicine and didn't suspect anything further.

"This should be our first meeting, Ms. Shiho Miyano."

As soon as Shiho Miyano stepped into the reception room where the important figure wanted to see her, she heard a mature and steady voice.

"you are?"

Looking at the unfamiliar figure, Shiho Miyano's expression was somewhat puzzled, while Xia Qing spoke in a steady voice at this moment: "I am Yusaku Kudo, the leader of the organization you belong to."

Looking at Shiho Miyano standing at the door, Natsuki said this, and Shiho Miyano was somewhat stunned when she heard these words.

So, what does the leader, whom I've barely heard much about, want from me?

Looking at Xia Qing with a questioning gaze, Xia Qing directly asked about Miyano Shiho's job intentions in response to her doubts:

"Are you interested in taking on a senior management position in an organization where you don't need to work but only need to receive a salary?"

Ah this...

Upon hearing the promise made by the man named Yusaku Kudo, Shiho Miyano was momentarily speechless.

What exactly does this boss want? Why is he asking me if I have any intention of taking on this kind of dead-end job?

"If you're unwilling, as long as you have sufficient ability, I can arrange for you to be a high-ranking official with real power."

Xia Qing continued speaking in the tone of a villainous high-ranking official, while Shiho Miyano remained silent for a moment before asking, "Mr. Yusaku Kudo... why did you do this?"

Upon hearing this question, Xia Qing, who was thinking of Kudo Yusaku, smiled faintly: "Of course, it's for backstabbing."

"Huh, a backstab?"

Hearing this, Shiho Miyano was a little stunned. Facing Shiho Miyano, who seemed to have many questions, Yusaku Kudo continued to explain: "It was used to betray your father, Atsushi Miyano."

If you choose to swear allegiance to me, you will enjoy a life of luxury you never dared to dream of before, and freedom you have never had before.

The way to achieve this is simple: gain your father's trust, and then betray him at the most crucial moment.

Chapter 431: Then there is only one answer!

"My father isn't dead?"

Upon hearing Yusaku Kudo's words, Shiho Miyano's pupils suddenly contracted. Did she actually have any relatives living in this world besides her sister?

Seeing Shiho Miyano's obvious surprise, Yuu Kudo said in a slightly troubled tone, "That guy really caused me a lot of trouble before he died."

That's right, your father didn't die. With the help of my suicidal descendant, he survived in another way.

However, your father has now lost all his memories. Rather than being your father, it would be more accurate to say that he is your father's second incarnation after his soul was reborn.

So what is your choice, Shiho Miyano? Do you choose to be loyal to me or choose to believe in so-called family ties?

However, it doesn't make much difference to me which option you choose. If you pledge allegiance to me, your use will be to infiltrate and betray me. If you choose to believe your father, your fate will be to become a hostage.

No one knows Conan better than me. Oh, you probably don't know that, do you?

Your father is now using the name Conan Edogawa, so using you as a hostage to deal with him actually seems like a good option.

So… what answer have you decided to give me?

Kudo Yusaku's words left Miyano Shiho speechless for a moment; this was a situation she had never anticipated.

There are many speculations about why Kudo Yusaku notified her to come here, but Miyano Shiho never thought of this situation before; it was a completely unexpected path.

"I want to ask what's going on with my sister right now?"

After a moment of silence, Shiho Miyano said this, and looking at the silent Shiho Miyano, Yusaku Kudo casually replied, "After meeting you, I will meet with her again."

She's a wise person and won't make any wrong choices.

Hearing this, Shiho Miyano lowered her voice and whispered, "Then there's only one answer..."

Looking at the brown-haired girl in front of him, Kudo Yusaku revealed an expression as if he already saw her agree: "Very good, a wise person knows when to yield, I think you've made the right choice..."

"But I refuse!"

Before Kudo Yusaku could finish speaking, Miyano Shiho looked up and stared directly at him. Upon hearing this, Kudo Yusaku, who wanted the other to swear allegiance, rubbed his forehead.

"You lot really like to ruin your own future. I thought you were a smart person because you chose this kind of answer."

Looking at Yusaku Kudo's helpless expression, Shiho Miyano's voice trembled slightly: "One hostage is enough!"

Shiho Miyano knew very well what the organization's style was, and the person in front of her was just putting on a nice show.

Squeeze out every last bit of value and then ruthlessly discard it – that's the organization's style.

According to the organization's tradition, Shiho Miyano could even imagine what would happen next, such as her and her sister killing each other, with only one person surviving in the end.

Being used as a hostage ultimately leads to being abandoned. If it were the older sister, she would probably pretend to agree to become a spy.

Watching Yusaku Kudo and Shiho Miyano quickly pull out the medicines they had casually put in their pockets for testing from the pocket of their white coats, not far away.

The bottle contained the latest improved version of AXT4869, which he had prepared for testing. He looked at Yusaku Kudo and Shiho Miyano not far away and prepared to take the medicine.

One hostage or spy is indeed enough; the more hostages there are, the less important they become. Besides, one might not necessarily die after taking the drug.

Although the chances of axt4869 appearing now are very small, it's a good option to take a gamble at this time.

Shiho Miyano was well-versed in the procedures for transporting corpses; in short, it was highly efficient.

"They really have a lot of little tricks up their sleeves."

Looking at Shiho Miyano and Yusaku Kudo not far away, he spoke meaningfully, while at the same time on the other side of the city.

Having barely escaped, the craftsman is preparing to see how things are going over there from Shiho Miyano's perspective. After all, as a reincarnated craftsman, he still has a good foundation.

He had long suspected that other reincarnators might come to contact Shiho Miyano, so he secretly chose to "link" with Shiho Miyano's eyes and brain.

In this situation, the craftsman can manipulate Shiho Miyano's thoughts to a certain extent, and can also see what Shiho Miyano sees through the connection.

However, there is a limit to the number of times this can be used. The connecting cable is not cheap and is quite fragile. This is the first time the craftsman has chosen to synchronize after completing the connection.

"Ku...Yusaku Kudo?"

After opening the connection, the craftsman looked completely bewildered. Why was the person on the other end Kudo Yusaku?

The craftsman felt he had many questions, but unfortunately, no one was there to answer them for him.

Before he could do anything more, the craftsman suddenly discovered that the wire he was using to connect the wires had completely snapped. Upon seeing this, the craftsman's expression became uncertain.

This world has truly underestimated itself; there are actually people in this world who can restrain these soul-related threads...

Xia Qing, who was already in a soul state, easily destroyed the craftsman's threads and stopped Miyano Shiho's actions by using the ideal fluid destruction drug. Xia Qing glanced at the direction the threads were connected and said:

"Do you amplify your suicidal thoughts?"

It seems you've offended someone outside the organization whose main focus is on emotions, Shiho Miyano. You've successfully made me look at you in a new light.

In this situation, you still managed to cause trouble for me. I'm rather curious how you got into trouble with the other party.

"Alright, I can look into this later. You can put your research on axt4869 on hold for a while. It seems like you haven't taken a vacation in a long time, right?"

Xia Qing portrayed the attitude of a somewhat annoyed high-ranking member of the organization, while Shiho Miyano remained expressionless upon hearing his words.

Shiho Miyano knew perfectly well what Yusaku Kudo meant; it seemed he intended to place her under house arrest.

……

The news of Shiho Miyano being placed under house arrest didn't cause much of a stir within the brewery. The first person to learn of it was naturally Gin, who was also in charge of security for AXT4869.

After learning that Shiho Amano was actually the descendant of an enemy who posed a great threat to the organization, Gin immediately began looking for a place to place her under house arrest.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Conan was giving a statement at the police station.

"So... Phantom Thief Kid's escape route just happened to be sandwiched in the middle of a gang shootout?"

Looking at Conan, who was coming to take a statement not far away, one of the policemen rubbed his eyes, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

I don't even know how to describe this luck. Also, why would a gang fight take place on the top of a rooftop?

Is this kid treating himself like a fool? How could anyone possibly be fighting on a rooftop?

Although I really want to say this, unfortunately that's just how it is... "That's definitely true."

Conan said with absolute certainty that the situation had become quite complicated and that he could not reveal all the information he knew to the police for the time being.

After learning the news, Conan quickly regained his composure.

Regardless of who he was in the past, he is now the high school detective, Shinichi Kudo, the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era. After finishing with the police report, Conan hesitated for a moment before heading to the school he had mentioned before.

The identity Amon is currently using is probably that he's attending that school.

At that moment, in the school, Kuroba Kaito, who had stayed up all night stealing last night, yawned.

Thinking of that self-proclaimed one-eyed spirit, Kaito Kuroba, makes me feel a bit overwhelmed. How much of what that guy says is actually believable?

Kaito Kuroba couldn't figure out what the monocle-wearing guy who called himself Amon was thinking. Just as Kaito was distracted, the teacher's voice suddenly rang out.

"Ahem, everyone, I have some news to tell you."

Forcing himself to stay alert, Kaito looked in the direction of the teacher who was entering from the door. Just as get out of class was about to end, the teacher led a girl with an extraordinary appearance into the classroom.

"This is a new student who has transferred to our class. Everyone should make sure to get along well with him."

The teacher looked at the students in the class and said this, while the new student who had transferred over began to introduce himself.

With her stunningly beautiful appearance, Koizumi Akako, who transferred to the school, felt that she had already captured the attention of all the boys in the class.

Hmm... wait, what is that guy looking at?

Koizumi Akako suddenly noticed a figure that stood out from the crowd, since that was the only one there who was absentmindedly looking out the window.

After choosing an empty seat, Akako felt a little uncomfortable seeing Kaito Kuroba.

The fact that someone could resist her beauty instantly soured Hongzi's mood.

The school bell rang and the teacher began explaining the new knowledge for the day, but Koizumi Akako was still bothered by Kuroba Kaito's reaction.

"Therefore, when solving this type of problem, as long as you use the method I just explained, the effect will be..."

The teacher was explaining new methods and knowledge on stage when a burly man suddenly burst into the classroom, looked at Kaito Kuroba, and shouted:

"Lord Kaito, chaos has broken out within the organization's Japanese branch. We urge you to step down as department head and take charge, saving the organization from this dire situation!"
