No one understands the laws of Collider better than me.

I originally wanted to teach Conan a lesson about not being overly ambitious and having unrealistic expectations, but he ended up learning far more from others than the average police officer.

This is really too much to bear. The chosen one next door can print cards on the spot, while you're adding special effects on the spot.

Kitahara Masaki rubbed Conan's head again, then tossed him to Ran.

------

"Hehe, how's the detective game going?"

When I received Gin's call that evening, it was his familiar sarcastic and sarcastic tone.

How can I tolerate this?

"This is really no fun. I'm quitting, I'm quitting. Or maybe we should just scatter the Superintendent General's ashes right now. The organization will have to do something like this someday, won't it?"

At this point, Kitahara Masaki picked up his pistol and fired blanks, forcing Gin to change the subject.

"I'm entrusting you with the task of protecting Sherry this time."

"Huh? Ah? Lao Qin, do you mean we're going to be alone in a room again, a man and a woman? Are you implying that I'd be a fool not to take advantage of this? Are you suggesting I teach her things that only adults know?"

Yawenyi is very capable in handling affairs, but unfortunately he has a big mouth.

Gin suddenly remembered what the other members of the organization thought of Armagnac, which made him regret making the call. He could have just had Vodka inform him about these small things. Why did he have to be so impulsive as to make the call?

"This mission is the same as last one. You can discuss the specific time with Sherry yourself."

After conveying the mission details, Gin quickly hung up the phone. Vodka, seeing his older brother's displeased expression, immediately said:

"Why don't we call Vermouth and ask her to keep an eye on him..."

Gin glanced at Vodka, thinking that his underling was loyal enough, but unfortunately not very bright.

"Let's drive. We've found the person who stole the explosives from the military factory. He's an architect, and he happens to be quite old."

"Hehe, then let's help him get down here sooner."

Through visits and investigations, the grassroots personnel put in the same effort they would have used to conduct a nationwide population survey, and finally found the old bastard, Moriya Teiji.

Having obtained the information, Gin planned to meet him that evening, but Sherry happened to have another mission, so she assigned the bodyguard duties to Yawenyi.

Most importantly, Gin believed he understood Arvenjo's wicked nature; the more Arvenjo didn't want to do something, the more silent he became.

However, judging from his nonsensical remarks, Gin believed that Yawenyi was indeed interested in Sherry.

However, because Ya Wenyi spent most of his time in the organization, he was not good at expressing his emotions, which led to him and Shirley losing contact after their first meeting.

Or perhaps it was because his undercover police identity prevented him from showing his true face to Sulli.

Ok……

Gin lay in the passenger seat, his sense of superiority as a father making him ponder. He suddenly realized that Vermouth, who had raised Kitahara Maki, was no ordinary person.

If Kitahara Masaki knew that Gin had such thoughts, he would probably mock him again.

Do you feel like you've won a mental victory again? Are you some kind of XX?

Chapter 18 Gin: Drawing his sword, he looked around, feeling lost.

What time can you pick me up tonight?

"Around 8 PM. Remember to bring your ID card."

"?"

Shiho Miyano really couldn't understand whether this person's speaking style was innate or something he had to do to pretend.

"You're not getting the wrong idea, are you? Tokyo's been a bit turbulent lately, so you'd better bring your ID."

"What happened?"

"It's nothing much. A roving criminal has appeared. He was originally active in the north, but yesterday a burglary occurred in Tokyo, and it was later determined to be his doing."

"Oh, even the famous detective killer is helpless against this criminal?"

Kitahara Masaki was a master of slacking off and was completely unmoved by such words.

"First, this guy is just a thief; second, catching this kind of person is the job of professional police officers, and has nothing to do with me, an undercover agent."

By infiltrating this group of police officers who have been cursed, Kitahara Masaki can naturally help them solve cases quickly during working hours, but catching thieves, which requires a lot of time and energy, is out of the question.

"By the way, Gin told me you have an older sister who is hard to see. I can arrange for you two to have dinner together tonight."

Kitahara Masaki wasn't interested in thieves, so he changed the subject to Miyano Shiho's older sister.

"Does Gin agree?"

"Why do I need that old guy's approval to do things?"

So, he has no objections?

Unlike Shiho Miyano, Kitahara Maki wasn't confused; it was Gin who told Kitahara Maki about Akemi Miyano.

When Kitahara Masaki casually asked if they could have a meal together to get to know each other, Gin readily agreed.

That old bastard is definitely up to no good.

Gin and Kitahara Masaki have known each other for over ten years. It's as if Gin has seen through Kitahara Masaki's outer disguise, and Kitahara Masaki also knows very well what kind of person Gin really is.

As a die-hard member of the organization, Gin has always been a pragmatist, so it's unlikely that he was trying to kindly matchmake the two of them.

So what he was after was—

It seems that Hirota Masami's billion-yen robbery is imminent. It's likely that Gin noticed the subtle maneuvering between the Miyano sisters and, to prevent the organization's researchers from leaving, used Kitahara Masaki as a backup plan.

However, Gin misunderstood. Facing traitors like the Miyano sisters, Kitahara Masaki would not make things difficult for them at all; on the contrary, he would help them escape danger.

Having lived in the organization for over ten years, Kitahara Maki naturally understood Gin's intentions and began to plan how to rescue them from that old man.

Poor Gin, he worked diligently for the organization for many years, only to be betrayed by a newcomer.

His true purpose was to use Yawenyi's reputation within the organization to divert the Miyano sisters' attention, preventing them from realizing the organization's plan to eliminate Miyano Akemi. He still believed that Kitahara Masaki only had feelings for Sherry, but Kitahara Masaki had already revealed his true identity to Sherry and begun planning how to betray the organization.

----------------

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm so grateful for your care of my younger sister."

When Akemi Miyano saw Masaki Kitahara, who was already disguised, she could only see a middle-aged man sitting next to Shiho Miyano.

"Hey, why did you actually follow me here?!"

Shiho Miyano whispered to Masaki Kitahara.

She initially thought Kitahara Masaki was joking with her about having dinner together, but it turned out this strange guy actually showed up.

The fact that Yawenyi's true identity is Kitahara Masaki is actually a secret within the organization. Kitahara Masaki's last adventure left Miyano Shiho terrified after she came to her senses.

However, for Kitahara Masaki, as long as the risks are manageable, taking appropriate risks is perfectly acceptable. Girls like Miyano Shiho are naturally very wary, and Kitahara Masaki always has to take some risks to gain her trust.

In short, the die is cast, and Kitahara Masaki has begun his plan.

"Sherry is an outstanding talent in the organization, and it is my responsibility to take care of her."

Kitahara Masaki ignored Miyano Shiho's question and instead calmly began to talk with Miyano Akemi.

After truly getting to know the person whom even two silver bullets couldn't save, Kitahara Masaki also found one of the achievements on the achievement list:

【Dark Star, Faster Than a Silver Bullet】: Successfully rescued Akemi Miyano from the Black Organization.

Kitahara Masaki, who could read micro-expressions, noticed Miyano Akemi's unease, since the code name Yawenyi was quite well-known even among the lower-ranking staff.

The fact that the man in front of her had actually assassinated a high-ranking official in downtown America—a plot that only appears in novels—naturally put considerable pressure on her.

After finishing this tasteless dinner, Kitahara Maki also had to go with Miyano Shiho to complete the task they were supposed to do.

Snapped.

Miyano Akemi, who was some distance away, was bumped by someone. After she got up, it seemed that something was missing, and she looked around.

"What's wrong, sister?"

"Shiho, my wallet is missing."

Tsk.

After understanding what had happened, Kitahara Masaki couldn't help but smack his lips.

Miyano Akemi, thinking it was her oversight that made Yawen Yi impatient, forced a smile and said softly:

"But it's alright, there's not much money in there."

"Three people just walked past you. Did you see clearly who stole your wallet?"

The Miyano sisters looked at Kitahara Masaki with disbelief.

"What? I'm not interested in a petty thief, but I have to teach a blind man a lesson."

Having understood the object of Kitahara Masaki's dissatisfaction, Miyano Akemi answered with relief:

"I'm sorry, I didn't see it clearly."

"Shouldn't the person who bumped into my sister be a pickpocket?"

Shiho Miyano raised a question to Maki Kitahara.

"This is just one possibility. It's also possible that the person who bumped into her was an accomplice, and one of the other two was the pickpocket. It's even possible that the pickpocket created the situation where someone would bump into her so that he could make his move. But no matter what, the most important thing is to find the person who took the wallet."

Kitahara Masaki began to recall what had just happened. Since Miyano Akemi had just gone to the restroom, the two of them were waiting for her not far away.

There were two men and one woman who passed by her.

What I remember most vividly is that woman; her makeup was a little messy, and judging from the area around her eyes, she seemed to have just been crying.

One of the men was wearing a suit that looked impressive, but Kitahara Masaki knew that the clothes he was wearing were fake and just for show.

The other person had calluses on their fingers, and judging from the location of the calluses, they were likely a driver.

A heartbroken person, a salesperson, and a driver.

All three appear to be suspects of theft. Furthermore, they cannot identify themselves as police officers to investigate their belongings.

Hmm... If it happens to be that fugitive, then things will be much easier.

Thinking of this, Kitahara Masaki told the Miyano sisters to go back to the car and wait, while he called Officer Takagi and asked:

"Takagi, do you have that fugitive's identification information?"
