I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Vodka is not much different in potency from gin.

Therefore, Chianti and Cohen did not refute or ask any questions. They immediately withdrew from their respective sniping positions and prepared to investigate the Raven Society and the East Star Society as Vodka had suggested.

Gin has never cared about these underworld organizations.

If it weren't for paving the way for the new heir, Gin would probably have investigated Ireland thoroughly, killed him, and left without staying this long.

Although it seems that only the Ravens Society is related to Ireland.

However, the Dongchen Society doesn't seem to be an ordinary underworld organization.

Otherwise, Gin wouldn't have asked the codenamed members who came with him to include the Dongchen Society in the investigation after his last visit to the Dongchen Society's hidden headquarters.

I wonder what special things the Dongchen Society has.

After both Chianni and Cohen withdrew.

Vodka then came to Kiel's side and said with some regret.

"As expected, plans can't keep up with changes."

"Since we failed to catch Ireland this time, let's call it a day... As we agreed before, come with me to see Boss Gin now."

Hondo Eikai thought to himself.

When Gin called earlier to ask if she knew any information about Ireland and the Ravens, she heard that Gin had no information and immediately called her a piece of trash before hanging up.

The attitude has improved slightly now.

What is this? Does attitude follow value?

Compared to Chianti, Cohen, and Vodka, she, as a member of the Gin group, was really no different from any other ordinary person.

At least Gin's attitude towards the other members of the Gin group is acceptable.

……

The Black Organization's temporary liaison point in the Tokyo area.

Gin had been waiting there for a long time, his fingers constantly tapping the ash from his cigarette, seemingly deep in thought. Even when he saw Vodka leading Hondo Hidemi into the contact point, his expression remained unchanged.

After a while, when the cigarette in his hand had almost burned out, he casually tossed the cigarette butt aside.

The new head of the Black Organization in the Tokyo area turned to look at Hondo Hidemi and Vodka and said.

"It seems the plan has failed?"

This is obvious.

Hondo Emi thought to herself.

If the plan had succeeded, you should be seeing us here with Ireland or its corpse by now. Why would we come empty-handed?

Vodka, however, was already used to Gin's manner of speaking and immediately explained the situation.

Gin didn't say much about this, but stared at Hondo Hidemi for a while before speaking.

"...That guy you kept around to hide your identity is quite interesting."

"He really does look a lot like you. It must have been difficult to find someone who looks so much like you to impersonate your brother and hide his identity, right? What's his name? Hondo Eisuke?"

Hearing her younger brother's name suddenly called out, Hondo Eikai's heart skipped a beat.

Her thoughts raced.

Gin has taken down more than one or two moles, and he probably knows a great deal about them.

If that's the case, then Gin probably still remembers her father, Ethan Hondo. In that case, Hondo Eisuke looks somewhat similar to her father and they share the same surname. Could Gin have noticed something amiss?

As it turns out, Hondo Eikai was overthinking things.

Gin seemed completely unaware that Hondo Eisuke resembled Ethan Hondo.

He merely mentioned Hondo Eikai's entourage as a threatening signal, then glossed over the matter and moved on to the important business of summoning Hondo Eikai.

As for why Gin didn't notice, it's naturally because...

Gin never memorizes the names or faces of the dead.

For him, remembering those things was a complete waste of time, just like how he forgot about Shinichi Kudo, the so-called high school detective, the moment he killed him in Tropical Paradise.

For Gin, the only dead person whose name he would remember is probably Shuichi Akai.

He had to admit that Shuichi Akai had indeed left a deep impression on him.

And Ethan Bentang?

Although he was also an undercover agent infiltrated into the Black Organization from another intelligence organization, why bother remembering him when he couldn't even handle a piece of trash like Kir?

"...How much do you know about the Dongchen Society?"

I heard Gin suddenly mention the Dongchen Society.

Hondo Eikai was momentarily stunned.

She hadn't expected that Gin's first question to him wasn't about his relationship with Ireland, or whether it was truly as he'd said on the phone, that he had no other connection with Ireland.

Instead, they inquired with another large criminal organization that was hostile to Ireland.

If you mention the Raven Society, which was founded by Ireland, she knows very little about it, but if you ask about the East Star Society, she actually knows quite a bit about it... after all, she participated in the last operation involving the East Star Society.

Moreover, Ireland had previously tasked her with investigating matters concerning the Dongchen Society.

However, Gin clearly showed his impatience after Hondo Hidemi had only said a small part of it.

This codenamed member, whose behavior was clearly rude, abruptly interrupted Hondou Hidemi and asked directly.

"Hey, stop talking nonsense. Who is the leader of the Dongchen Society?"

Who are the people around him?

Gin's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous expression.

"Tell me about Curaçao, who has been missing for some time..."

"Is he right next to the leader of the Dongchen Society?"

The shot that nearly killed Furukawa Teng was fired by Gin himself.

He witnessed a man with long silver hair and extraordinary physical abilities. The moment he pulled the trigger, he realized that someone was sniping at him and saved Furukawa Teng.

There aren't many people with such skills, and this distinctive feature made him wonder if the person was someone he knew.

Upon hearing this, Hondo Eikai was immediately taken aback, and could only say...

"...I don't know about that."

"However, it is said that someone did see a person on the roadside whose features are exactly the same as Curaçao's, and the time coincides with the time of Curaçao's disappearance, so it seems that his personal freedom was not restricted."

"I was also puzzled before, why Curaçao did not contact me or Ireland when his personal freedom was not restricted."

"If it is as you say... then I think the answer to this question is found."

Chapter 1319

Before meeting Gin, Hondo Hidemi never imagined that someone like Curaçao would betray the Black Organization.

This is really hard to imagine.

Although she had very little interaction with Curaçao, she had met him a few times.

Putting aside Curaçao's role as Rum's right-hand man, staying in the Black Organization would have yielded far more than defecting from it...

Hondo Emi's encounter with Curaçao alone made her feel that Curaçao was not the type to be a traitor.

Even as a CIA agent, she felt that Curaçao was the type of person who could not be persuaded or turned against her. How did that underworld organization called Dongchen Club manage to do it?

Could it be that these underworld organizations possess some kind of magical potion capable of altering the consciousness of others?

Although the idea sounds absurd.

However, Hondo Hidemi, considering the absurdity of this world, felt a surge of doubt and decided to investigate whether there were similar reports in the mysterious underworld of the Tokyo area.

After answering Gin's question, Hondo Emi was about to explain what she knew about the Toujinkai, but Gin interrupted her again.

This hot-tempered codenamed member didn't seem to have any intention of listening to Hondou Eikai's detailed explanation of the Dongchen Society.

This left Hondo Eikai slightly puzzled.

Although Gin had been to the Tokyo area many times before to carry out missions, he had almost no dealings with the Dongchen Society. Even if Gin looked down on the Dongchen Society, surely he would know nothing about them under these circumstances?

However, Hondo Hidemi naturally did not question Gin's idea.

Although she is also a member of the Gin group.

However, compared to Vodka and the others, their relationship with Gin is extremely distant. Rather than provoking Gin, it's better to let someone else ask the question...

For example, vodka, who always follows Gin.

Just as Hondo Eikai had thought, Vodka couldn't help but ask when he heard this.

"Boss Gin, don't you want to know anything about the Dongchen Society?"

"Although the Dongchen Society is just a small local gangster organization that we don't think is worth mentioning, with that guy Curaçao's help, I think it will be a little troublesome."

"The more information we have about the Dongchen Society, the easier it will be for us to capture Curaçao and bring her back to that person later!"

Upon hearing this, Gin snorted coldly and said.

"I have already looked into the Dongchen Society."

"Whether it's the last time that idiot from Ireland took it upon himself to cooperate with the Dongchen Society, only to be outmaneuvered by them, or any other situation... I know everything very well."

"I was just asking Kiel if he knew anything about Curaçao."

...It seems that Ireland recorded the original report in considerable detail.

From this perspective, Gin must have already learned about the Dongchen Society beforehand. He sought her out to inquire about Curaçao and to verify whether her description matched what he already knew.

Since it has been confirmed that many parts are completely consistent with the Irish report, do you think it's unnecessary to waste time?

Hondo Eikai thought to himself.
