No one understands the laws of Collider better than me.

"Haibara... Shu, I understand. Someone will deliver the detailed information to you tomorrow. Please remember to check it."

The police are really efficient. However, the identity of an informant with a background in a hate organization is not a big deal. Handing him over to Kitahara Masaki is probably just to repay a favor.

Kitahara Masaki now has two aliases. Napoleon is an identity he uses to silence witnesses and recruit his own forces; at this stage, he has only shared this alias with Vermouth. Haibara Osamu's alias is intended to help the Miyano sisters, and it's currently under the complete control of the Public Security Bureau, so its usefulness is naturally less than Napoleon's. However, Napoleon has also been used to deal with some characters who displease Kitahara Masaki; it can be said that its use is rather casual and not suitable for formal occasions.

Regarding the idea of ​​a new identity, Kitahara Masaki also considered whether to secretly kill a high-ranking figure in a conglomerate, then completely absorb his identity and take his place.

However, people like this have too many secrets, and they can easily be exposed, even attracting assassins from other people to take them down.

In short, the most important thing now is to rescue Miyano Akemi from Gin's men. Once we get this disguise, things will be much easier.

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

"Brother Kitahara! Something terrible has happened!"

"Who died again?"

"It's not that someone is dead! It's that woman, that bank employee named Hirota Masami, who has disappeared! We had already submitted all the evidence to the court and obtained an arrest warrant, but she just vanished today!"

"It seems she knew the police would arrest her after the incident, so she ran away beforehand."

Kitahara Masaki took a bite of the tuna rice ball and was surprised to find it quite delicious.

"That's true, but we can't find where she went, so Brother Kitahara, you..."

"Ahem, I'm still on sick leave. Working through the night has lowered my immune system, and I'm still bedridden. So, I'll leave the task of catching the criminal to you, Inspector Megure."

After saying that, Kitahara Masaki hung up the phone, not giving Inspector Megure any more chance to cry his heart out. In order to monitor Miyano Akemi, Kitahara Masaki immediately took sick leave after obtaining information about Haibara Osamu's identity, then went home, drove out his own disguised car, and changed its appearance to monitor Miyano Akemi.

Now, Akemi Miyano has evaded the police and is on her way to meet Gin. She originally thought that after this robbery, she could leave the organization with Shiho Miyano. However, she and the lower-ranking members who were working with her were successively killed, and the police suspected that she was the murderer.

Kitahara Masaki, who had been observing from the sidelines, thought that Miyano Akemi was too naive. However, she couldn't be blamed. As a deceived low-level member, she could only passively feel the size of the organization. Only when the organization actually intended to deal with her did she realize how wrong she had been.

Being an enemy of the organization and the organization being an enemy of you are two completely different concepts.

Kitahara Masaki took out a pistol and a sniper rifle from the trunk of the car, which were updated from the organization's 'Bartender'. The organization's firearms would not have serial numbers in Japan because they were all custom-made by the organization from American gun factories, so there was no need to worry about the police finding any flaws during the investigation.

The police are still investigating 'Tsukuyomi', and Gin will only think that he is an accomplice that Miyano Akemi found at some point, and then the Metropolitan Police Department... the Metropolitan Police Department will not be able to see anything.

Kitahara Masaki followed Miyano Akemi's car openly because he was driving a truck with a logo similar to the seafood company where the Noguchi-gumi leader had been arrested a few days earlier. Many people would subconsciously ignore such vehicles with specific functions, just as ordinary people would consciously give way to police cars and fire trucks, wave to stop taxis, and stay away from large trucks carrying goods, fearing that they might be hit in an accident.

However, they all overlooked the fact that those vehicles might only look like that, and in reality, they were not what they seemed.

Masaki Kitahara, driving a sports car with camouflage provided by the system, easily followed Akemi Miyano into the warehouse area where she and Gin were meeting.

Naturally, they couldn't follow anymore, but because they were almost at their destination, the car slowed down and could be tracked by the drone. Kitahara Maki, who was leisurely parking, clearly saw the drone capture Gin's Porsche.

"Sorry, Gin, I have to treat you to a bullet. Haha, maybe two."

Chapter 66 Gin, are you a mama's boy?

"I've arrived! Where are you all? Come out quickly!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Masami Hirota, no, Akemi Miyano."

"Hmph, they've already got the billion yuan, why bother eliminating the other two lower-level members?"

"Hehe, this is our organization's consistent style. Alright, hurry up and hand over the money."

She simply used her sister as bait, and Miyano Akemi took the bait without hesitation, just like Akai Shuichi deceived her. These women are clearly intelligent, but when it comes to matters of the heart, they become incredibly stupid.

For the organization, one billion Japanese yen is not a lot of money. Only this woman would believe the ridiculous claim that they would be released from the organization after completing the so-called last mission.

So regardless of whether they ultimately get the billion, Gin will kill Miyano Akemi. The intelligence officer responsible for monitoring her discovered that she was still in contact with Akai Shuichi. Just before they carried out the robbery, she sent a text message to that traitor. This is an unforgivable betrayal. She was kept alive to keep Sherry calm, but now that the A drug experiment is on track, it is inevitable to eliminate this traitor who should have died long ago.

"The money isn't here; I've hidden it somewhere else."

Gin snorted coldly after hearing what Miyano Akemi said. Did she still think that 1 billion yen was something that was absolutely necessary?

"Where is my sister? I need to see her! This is our promise. After this is over, my sister and I can leave the organization."

"That's probably very difficult. Your sister is a rare research genius in the organization. She's different from you; she's not some replaceable cog in the machine."

"Were you lying to me from the very beginning?"

Upon hearing the woman's question, Gin and Vodka couldn't help but laugh out loud. It's truly rare to see such an innocent person these days.

"Heh, if you obediently hand over the money, I might spare your life. But now is your last chance."

Even now, Gin is still deceiving her.

"If you kill me, you'll never know where the money is."

"Ridiculous! We knew all along that you hid the money in the safe, just to keep you struggling. You didn't actually think you had a chance, did you!"

Click.

Gin raised his pistol, his sharp gaze fixed on Miyano Akemi. This made her finally realize that Gin's purpose in coming here was to kill her. A sense of despair enveloped her. She suddenly thought of how her sister had been dragged into this conspiracy because of her own stupidity.

"Regret? She will be reunited with you soon, after all, you sisters are just as naive."

Whining and pausing.

Is Gin just bored out of his mind? Or did growing his hair long make him look like a woman? Why is he so clumsy in his speech and actions? He usually takes care of his target with a single shot, but now he's rambling on and on.

It seems that the laws of Detective Conan are at play again. In order for the protagonist to arrive at the last minute, Gin, who usually only snorts, has to talk a lot of nonsense.

Kitahara Masaki lay on the trunk of the car, his finger lightly touching the trigger, looking at the scene in the warehouse through the scope. However, the crosshair was not aimed at Gin's body, because an assassin of his caliber had already developed an emergency response to danger. If he didn't kill him with one shot, he would immediately flee, which could be considered a huge threat.

Most importantly, even if Gin is killed, the boss will send an even more influential person to Japan to oversee the situation and investigate who killed Gin. Someone like Kitahara Masaki, an undercover agent in the police force, would never be considered for the position of head of the Japanese branch.

After seeing Gin finally raise his pistol through the scope, Kitahara Masaki decisively fired. The sniper bullet pierced through the thin iron sheet wall of the warehouse, and the loud noise made Gin and the others immediately crouch down and run around looking for cover.

Akemi Miyano realized what was happening and ran away. Everyone in the warehouse assumed the newcomer was likely the Japanese Public Security Bureau. Gin thought the Public Security Bureau was secretly contacted by Akemi Miyano, while Akemi Miyano thought the Public Security Bureau had followed Gin to get there. Both sides believed that the other had orchestrated this get-together with the Public Security Bureau.

Unexpectedly, there was only one person who came.

Bang!

After all, it was in a sparsely populated abandoned warehouse area, and no one would realize for a while that a Hollywood gunfight had begun here, so Kitahara Masaki continued to fire, and the sniper rifle bullets kept Gin from even sticking his head out.

After achieving the desired suppression, Kitahara Masaki put down his sniper rifle, drew his pistol, and gradually approached Gin. Kitahara Masaki would create the illusion that the sniper was still watching him, but someone was already getting closer. As long as he could force Gin back this time and protect Miyano Akemi, he would be victorious.

He doesn't want to play Haibara Osamu's card so soon.

"You are surrounded! Surrender, Gin!"

Kitahara Masaki raised his hand and shot at the tire of Gin's beloved Porsche. As a modified car, the tire was not so easily blown out, but it was undoubtedly a signal, a signal to destroy your escape tool and capture you alive.

Contrary to his appearance, Gin spends most of his time thinking about how to efficiently achieve his goals, rather than how to achieve them in a flashy way. Therefore, compared to the more easygoing Kitahara Masaki, Gin is more likely to consider his escape route, but now his escape route is being threatened by Kitahara Masaki.

On one side is Akemi Miyano, and on the other side is himself and Vodka. If anyone knows more about the organization's secrets, it's the members with the names of the alcoholic beverages. Low-level members like Akemi Miyano only know about the two of them and can't even explain how the organization operates.

"Gin! Today is the last time you'll see the sun outside! From now on, you'll be contemplating life behind bars!"

When Kitahara Masaki was on a mission in the United States, he paid close attention to Gin's style of operation. This old guy could be considered a top-notch assassin, but he always needed to consult his boss on the big picture. It was hard to tell if this was the composure of a middle-aged worker or if he was worried about something.

Then let's add fuel to the fire.

"Hirota Masami, you must be in there too! You orchestrated a 1 billion yen robbery and murdered two other members of the organization. Surrender now!"

Alright, Gin, you should now understand that the 'Public Security Bureau' only sees Miyano Akemi as a criminal, not an accomplice. So you should have a suitable reason to retreat now.

The next second, just as Kitahara Masaki was about to change his voice and continue shouting, a smoke grenade was thrown out. Gin and Vodka used the smoke as cover and got into the Porsche in no time. Vodka, the driver, gave Kitahara Masaki a brilliant assist.

Under Vodka's command, Gin's Porsche sped out of the warehouse district as fast as a launch, without giving him a single glance back at the police pursuers.

Very good, even if we haven't fooled him, we can at least keep it a secret for a while.

Go see Akemi Miyano now.

Chapter 67 Gin, are you getting impatient?

"Officer, I surrender, please help me..."

Before Miyano Akemi could finish speaking, Kitahara Masaki grabbed her hand and ran to the car. The disguised sports car was no longer a truck with the seafood company logo, but an empty truck that had just had its cargo box unloaded. Although it was still a truck, to outsiders, this empty truck was agile and swift, almost as if it were about to take off.

Kitahara Masaki's driving skills were on par with Vodka's; in no time, he was almost a kilometer behind Gin's Porsche.

"Who exactly are you? Aren't you a police officer?"

It was only then that Miyano Akemi realized that the man in front of her was not a police officer. After all, how could the police only send one person to arrest Gin?

“I have a cooperative relationship with the police. Given the situation just now, there was no time to call the police. Even if they were to be dispatched immediately, it would take at least ten minutes for them to arrive. By then, you would probably be dead.”

Kitahara Masaki had the identity of Haibara Osamu, which the Public Security Bureau had helped him forge—no, it had already been entered into the Public Security Bureau's database—so this identity was real until it was thoroughly verified. He gave the identity document for Haibara Osamu to Miyano Akemi. The photo printed on it was a middle-aged version of Kitahara Masaki, and it still bore a three- or four-point resemblance to the current Kitahara Masaki. Not wanting to expose his superb disguise skills, he could only reluctantly dress up as an old man.

"So you're an accomplice of the Public Security Bureau. Thank you for saving me, but I could only fool Gin temporarily. The organization will mobilize its forces to come after me, which will affect you as well."

"Don't worry, I anticipated this day would come, so I prepared many fake identities. Of course, the female fake identity was originally prepared for my sister."

"My sister?" Miyano Akemi was deeply touched, and she continued:

"Mr. Haibara, my sister is still in the organization, I'm scared..."

"Don't worry. From your conversation with Gin, it's clear they value your sister, so don't worry too much. While the Black Organization is ruthless towards its lower-ranking members, researchers will be protected no matter where they are. In short, you must leave the country immediately. Japan is no longer a place for you. Also, you need to record a video to tell your sister that you are still alive."

Akemi Miyano had no suspicions, after all, Masaki Kitahara had risked his life to save her. Masaki Kitahara would naturally use the video to convince Shiho Miyano, thus gaining a real hacker accomplice.

Since the main storyline unfolds in a series of interconnected events, Kitahara Masaki can also leverage the guarantees provided by these Red Team figures to maximize his benefits within the Red Team's forces.

"Shiho, because of my sister..."

As Akemi Miyano listened to her farewell video, Masaki Kitahara took out a newspaper from the side and handed it to her, saying:

"No need to make it sound like a life-or-death situation. You're just going to South Korea to hide from the organization for a while. Oh, and by the way, remember to take a picture of the newspaper date too."

"Okay, if possible, please rescue my sister from the organization as well."

“No problem. The organization and I have a grudge against each other. They cruelly murdered my family. I will definitely reunite you with them someday in the future.”

In fact, Kitahara Masaki was not lying to her. For him, the destruction of the organization was inevitable, and betraying the organization would definitely happen someday in the future.

"Thank you, Mr. Haibara."

"You're welcome, it's something I would have done anyway."

He drove Miyano Akemi directly to the airport and disguised her before she got out of the car. Once she passed through airport security and arrived in South Korea, she could continue living as Miyano Akemi.

Kitahara Masaki wasn't worried about Miyano Akemi being found by the organization, because the organization's infiltration of East Asia was still ongoing, and the organization chose Japan because it could bring the greatest benefits.

In countries like South Korea, shady businesses are even more rampant than in Japan, and there are probably twice as many cults. As a result, even the talent pool is rotten to the core, and organizations don't bother trying to recruit them. Because people like that are easily turned; they're complete fence-sitters.

Southeast Asian countries are basically either growing raw materials for pharmaceuticals or running casinos, which can naturally be sources of income. However, these countries are even more lacking in human resources than South Korea, so they are places that the organization looks down upon.
