"I've been infiltrating that bank for two weeks now, and the mission is going very smoothly. After this mission is over, will you really let my sister and me leave the organization?"
"Hmph, you'd better focus on the mission first."
"Beep...beep...beep"
Then came the busy tone of the phone, which seemed to indicate that the other end had hung up.
"Phew, listening to Gin really saves on air conditioning."
Kaoru Kazama, sitting on the sofa, picked up the remote control and turned the air conditioner back on.
Because when Gin's voice came through the bug, it really did give off a chilling feeling, so Kazama Kaoru immediately turned off the air conditioner he had set to 26 degrees Celsius.
"This bugging device is really something else. The quality is excellent, and the sound is very clear. I can even hear Gin's tone clearly. It seems that I placed it in a good location."
Kazama Kaoru was doing something like this for the first time, and at first he was quite confused about where to put it. But it seems that his choice to put it next to the phone has paid off quite well.
"But speaking of which, System, it seems like you haven't issued any missions in a long time, have you?"
When Kaoru Kazama is alone, besides talking to Shiro, he enjoys teasing his dull system, which doesn't seem like a cheat system at all.
"Isn't this to maximize your initiative, host? Besides, I've already issued the final mission, so now it's up to you to do your own work."
The system spoke in a nonchalant tone, which made Kazama Kaoru grind his teeth. If this system existed in real life, he would definitely drag it out and give it a good beating.
"You make it sound so easy, but if you don't issue any tasks, I won't get any rewards. Apart from the ability to mimic characters, I don't feel like a transmigrator at all."
Kaoru Kazama spread her hands, indicating that she was also helpless. It wasn't that she wanted to be a lazy bum, but that the suffering caused by the gold was just too unhelpful.
"In that case, this system will reluctantly issue you a task. The reward is very generous, so you should complete it with a grateful heart."
Kaoru Kazama scoffed, expressing his disdain, before finally looking seriously at the task panel in front of him.
Mission: Confront Conan
"In the next case we will encounter, Conan's body will once again transform into Shinichi Kudo, and your task, host, is to film this process, which can be described as the most amazing process in the biological world, as a DVD for this system's collection."
"System, I'm not trying to be mean, but your tastes are really weird. Since you've been reborn in Japan with me, instead of taking this opportunity to collect the works of various masters, why are you interested in the transformation video of some arrogant guy? Your sexual orientation is really strange."
How do you know I didn't collect them?
"Forehead..."
The system's words left Kaoru Kazama speechless. Although that's what he said, if the system really collected all the teachers' treasured works, that would be a bit abnormal.
"Can you please stop being so biased? Think about it, have all your teachers even debuted yet? It's only 96 now, even though the time calculation in the Conan world is a bit strange."
"That's true, but you still haven't said what the mission reward is?"
"Since you've specifically assigned me a task, the reward must be quite special, right?"
Kazama Kaoru's tone was full of hope, like a child waiting for a Christmas present.
"I think this reward should solve your recent troubles."
"Could my recent troubles be related to Akemi Miyano?"
Upon hearing the system's words, Kaoru Kazama's first thought was that it concerned Akemi Miyano.
Because what he had been preparing for all this time was how to perfectly deceive the Black Organization and rescue Miyano Akemi.
In fact, Kaoru Kazama had already simulated countless plans in his mind regarding how to save Akemi Miyano. After all, he had read quite a few Conan fanfictions, and there were very few in which Akemi Miyano was not saved.
There are also many seemingly reliable methods, such as disguising oneself as Miyano Akemi to replace her, or having Miyano Akemi wear a bulletproof vest and a blood pack to die, or even directly confronting Gin and the others to protect Miyano Akemi openly.
However, after careful consideration, Kazama Kaoru rejected all these approaches. Gin's observation and judgment were terrifyingly sharp. With just makeup skills, it would be impossible to fool him. No matter how good a disguise is, a person's temperament is not so easy to imitate.
It's possible that it's Kaito Kid, but we're just strangers, so why would he have an obligation to help me, especially with something so dangerous?
A direct confrontation isn't out of the question; in fact, with Misaka Mikoto's abilities, she could save Miyano Akemi. His main concern was what would happen next.
If he kills Gin, then the organization will take this force of resistance seriously. Putting aside the impact of Gin's disappearance on the plot, the only point of overlap between the organization and them at present is Gin.
Rather than eliminating him, it's better to keep this familiar enemy alive. Moreover, once Gin disappears, the Black Organization's external contact points will become unpredictable, which would be a case of penny-wise and pound-foolish.
Most importantly, he didn't believe that Gin would be so easily destroyed by him. The world has its own laws, and everything in the world has its counterpart. It's impossible for him to become so powerful that he could influence the main storyline of this world.
He had begun to suspect that the strange things he had encountered in the case might be related to the Black Organization.
"Host, hey, host, I said, Kazama Kaoru!!!"
"Hmm, who called me?"
The system's voice rang in his mind, but Kaoru Kazama, who was immersed in his own thoughts, took a while to react.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
"Host, are my words so profound that they've taken you so long to understand?"
"Stop being so narcissistic. I'm just thinking about how to complete the task."
"Oh, right, didn't you want to know what the reward for the mission is? It's a mannequin that can perfectly simulate the target's state and can be stored for a long time. That should meet your requirements."
"A mannequin? Where did you get this cutting-edge technology from? Will it even work?"
To be honest, he had always felt that the Black Organization would check afterward to see if Miyano Akemi was really dead, and given Gin's cautious nature, there was a high probability that they would do so.
It's worth noting that in the fifth movie, the Black Organization was able to find clues about Ai Haibara because they were monitoring her from the apartment where Akemi Miyano used to live.
If so much time has passed and the situation can still be discovered, then if Miyano Akemi's body cannot be found after she was shot, it doesn't necessarily mean she died.
So, having this mannequin is indeed quite convenient.
Moreover, this thing is an excellent substitute. If he were ever targeted by the Black Organization, faking his death to escape would probably be the best way to dispel suspicion, although he didn't want this thing to be used on himself.
Chapter 115 Cat Petting Tutorial
Despite Huang Tian's efforts, Kaoru Kazama, who had been staking out the place for a long time, finally learned the time when Akemi Miyano would make her move. He learned from the phone call that the robbery of the 1 billion yen should take place the day after tomorrow at noon.
The plan seemed to have no major flaws, but what puzzled Kazama was whether this black-clad organization was so short of money that it had to resort to robbing a bank.
Although they used to kill off their trading partners and engage in double-crossing, as far as Kazama Kaoru knew, this organization seemed to own quite a few companies, so they shouldn't be in such a hurry for money.
And it's not a small amount, it's one billion yuan. Most banks wouldn't keep that much cash, unless they specifically tracked down the arrival time of the armored trucks transporting the cash and then seized it.
Otherwise, if someone tried to rob a bank with just a handgun and a bag, they probably would only be able to pocket a few tens of millions of dollars by the time the police arrived.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. A billion! I don't know how many years I would have to work to save up that much."
Kaoru Kazama lay on her back on the bed, looking on with great envy at Shiro. However, the latter just twitched its ears and then lowered its head to continue eating cat food. This feline's brain was definitely not capable of understanding humans' pursuit of money; her only concern was probably the existence of cat food.
"You, all you do is eat. Be careful you won't be able to get married in the future. I wonder which tomcat you'll end up with."
Kaoru Kazama, seeing that her Shiro didn't react, couldn't help but start muttering to herself, sounding as if she was reluctant to marry off her daughter.
Seeing that she had almost finished eating, Kaoru Kazama picked up Shiro and placed her in his arms, beginning his daily cat-petting tutorial.
"If we're going to fight the Black Organization, I'm wondering whose ability would be best to use. I need one that can block bullets without being too illogical, otherwise it would be terrible if they got captured and dissected."
Actually, dealing with the Black Organization isn't difficult; the challenge lies in how to stay within the bounds of normal human behavior.
"System, do you have any good suggestions?"
Kazama Kaoru couldn't come up with a good solution no matter how hard she tried, so she simply asked her lazy system.
"It's just blocking bullets, that's easy! Kirito from Sword Art Online could do that!"
Kaoru Kazama's eyes lit up when he heard the system's answer. Why hadn't he thought of this great idea?
Sword Art Online is a light novel written by Japanese author Reki Kawahara. Both the novel and the anime are very popular, and the protagonist Kirito has gained a large following among young people due to his performance in the anime.
In the VR game world, the protagonist Kirito's sword skills can be described as superb, especially his dual-wielding style and Starburst Stream Slash, which are his ultimate moves.
However, the incident of slashing bullets with a sword mentioned by the system refers to the events described in the Phantom Bullet arc of the original work, which was adapted into a manga in 2014 and became the second season of Sword Art Online.
"You mean Kiriko? That's a good idea, but it might be a bit of a shock to Conan's fragile nerves."
Kazama Kaoru refers to the protagonist Kirito's appearance. She is also dressed in all black, with a black coat and black capri pants. If Kazama Kaoru wore this outfit, she would definitely look dashing. However, it's hard to calculate how much psychological trauma Conan would suffer.
"Well, whatever, why should I worry about that kid's mental illness? Whatever, I'm actually looking forward to seeing Akemi Miyano."
------------
The next morning, when Kaoru Kazama went to work, she made a point of wandering around that bank, but she didn't find any clues. It seems that the Black Organization really trusted Akemi Miyano to rob a bank.
He always felt that this incident was like a trap set for Miyano Akemi, because even if she was short of money, she wouldn't go so far as to rob a bank. The police would definitely be very aggressive in tracking down a 1 billion yen robbery, and even if she got the money, she would still be restless.
From another perspective, it's a miracle that Akemi Miyano, who led the FBI into the Black Organization and caused considerable losses, was spared, especially considering Gin's cold-blooded nature.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is more to this billion-yen robbery than meets the eye. Two days ago, Kaoru Kazama used Misaka Mikoto's ability to connect Conan's tracking transmitter to his own hand.
Fortunately, he possesses Misaka Mikoto's abilities, allowing him to complete those tasks without physical contact. That super hacker function comes from Misaka Mikoto's electromagnetic abilities; otherwise, even if he were a skilled hacker, it would probably have been quite troublesome.
"Kazama, Sato, Takagi, there's a situation. Beika received a report that a cash transport truck belonging to Yotsubo Bank has been attacked by robbers. It is estimated that about one billion yen in cash has already been taken by the robbers. Act quickly."
Kaoru Kazama, who was sitting in a chair writing a case report in a miserable state, immediately threw down his pen upon hearing this, turned around, grabbed his black coat from the back of the chair, and ran out.
"Why is Xiaoxun in such a hurry? This isn't like her at all!"
Seeing Kazama Kaoru's series of actions, Sato, who was still sitting in the chair, suddenly realized that the lazy bum who always complained about how hard his work was and who would skip work, take leave, be late, or leave early every few days was actually so enthusiastic. It was as if the sun had risen in the west.
"Well, I think it's probably because the amount stolen this time was too large, after all, it was 1 billion yuan."
Upon hearing Sato's words, Takagi stammered that this kid had been punished countless times by the middle-aged men of the Metropolitan Police Department because he was sitting near Kazama Kaoru and Sato, under the guise of a joint operation by the Metropolitan Police Department's Flower Guard.
Of course, the leader of the operation was Shiratori. This kid hadn't met his true love yet, namely Ms. Kobayashi, so he still had feelings for Sato.
However, under Kazama Kaoru's "tyranny," neither of them dared to take any real action.
------------
"Conan, you little rascal, didn't I tell you to stay away from criminals next time? That's an adult's job. You, as a child, should learn to protect yourself."
"Yes, yes, Sister Xiaoxun, I understand."
The person who discovered the bank robbery was none other than Conan. It is said that he heard a silenced gunshot while he was strolling in the parking lot, and then he saw a bank employee lying on the ground.
"That's true, but Conan, your observation skills are really sharp."
Sato took over the conversation. After inspecting the scene, he discovered that it was a meticulously planned robbery. It seemed that the robbery was timed precisely when the armored truck appeared, and the bank staff were taken hostage to help them load the cash. Moreover, the staff only made their cries for help at the very end. Conan, on the other hand, had already figured out that it was a robbery before that.
If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't notice anything amiss when they saw uniformed staff handling cash.
"Hehe, hehe, that's what my uncle always tells me."
As usual, Conan grinned foolishly while shifting all the blame onto Kogoro Mouri. Anyway, Kogoro wasn't here right now; if he were, he'd probably just be laughing smugly.
