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

Even though Rum was his superior and a deputy in the Black Organization.

But now Rum has rashly done something that is completely beyond Gin's and that person's expectations. It also makes Gin subconsciously feel that something big is about to happen within the Black Organization, especially something related to Rum.

"...And what exactly did Rum say to me last night?"

Gin tapped his fingers lightly on the desk.

Last night, when Ireland spoke with Rum, Rum did indeed ask Gin to verify whether what Ireland said was true, just as Ireland had suggested.

Gin wasn't sure if the mask's supposed ability to resurrect people indefinitely was true or false.

But he did know that the guy in the black mask claimed to be Takeo Miura.

The head of the Steel Society, one of the so-called three major underground gangster organizations, who had already been tricked and killed by Ireland.

Add to that the mystical and supernatural aspects of the occult, and it's not impossible that there might be some kind of tool that could resurrect someone in some way or create the illusion of death.

He simply told Rum that the guy did indeed have magical artifacts.

Besides that, Gin does have some knowledge about the current Steel Society, including its manpower arrangements, since his current partnership with the Steel Society is temporary.

In order to eliminate the Dongchen Society and either eliminate or bring back Curaçao.

Besides that, the task was to deal with Ireland and dismantle or bring the Ravens' influence under their control.

If Gin knew that Rum was planning to blow up the entire outskirts of Ireland, he certainly wouldn't have agreed to Rum's idea of ​​giving up control of the outskirts.

In his view, there was no need to use such an extreme method as blowing up the base outside the city to take down Ireland.

He also parked an Osprey attack helicopter at a base outside the city.

It was originally intended to be used to bombard Tokyo Tower, but it was blown up along with the base outside the city and turned into scrap metal. Even if you go there to look for it, you might not be able to find many missing parts.

However, aside from that, gin did know in advance that rum was going to take down Ireland.

It could even be said that Gin orchestrated this whole thing.

After Gin's investigation led him to suspect that Curaçao might be affiliated with the East Star Society, Gin reported the matter directly to Rum, informing him of Curaçao's connection to the East Star Society and the possibility that Ireland might have betrayed them and deliberately concealed the truth.

After learning about this and using some method to verify it, Rum decided to take down Ireland directly.

However, because Ireland now controls the Ravens, the largest criminal organization in the underworld, and is suspected of having some kind of relationship with Batman, they are elusive and difficult to catch.

Furthermore, Rum was certain that Ireland would not be content with having his position as head of the Tokyo region taken away so easily, and would definitely try to re-establish contact with him and regain his position.

So they deliberately set up a trap using a base outside the city, just waiting for Ireland to take the bait.

Although there was an interlude where Ireland was actually connected to Batman and that he had truly betrayed him, resulting in Vodka's disappearance after he was actually caught fishing instead of just setting up a spot.

But in terms of the result, it was within Gin's expectations.

In addition, Gin was also somewhat concerned about the large number of vehicles dispatched by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department last night.

Although Gin, as a codenamed member of the Black Organization, can be considered lawless, he still holds a mindset towards the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department that he avoids direct conflict with them unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, considering that Curaçao has most likely betrayed Rum and that Vodka has been captured by Batman and may reveal information, the first reaction is that even after Vodka was captured, he immediately changed locations but was still found by Batman.

That very night, they were prepared to fight to the last moment, sell out the others, and run away.

As a result, Gin worried all night, only to find out the next day that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department were not targeting the Black Organization, and no Black Organization temporary headquarters in Tokyo had been attacked.

Therefore, Gin subsequently dispatched other peripheral members to investigate the reasons for the mobilization of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department the previous night.

It was later discovered that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department were mobilized late last night to deal with the Raven Association.

...Although it was a false alarm, it can still be considered as a gain.

Despite the fact that the Ravens were the largest underworld organization in Tokyo, which was nurtured by the Black Organization's resources in the Tokyo area when Ireland was in charge of the Tokyo region.

If they could control it, it would greatly facilitate the Black Organization's operations in the Tokyo area.

However, since it was a criminal organization orchestrated by Ireland and its peripheral members, its internal situation was probably more complex than imagined. Being able to eliminate it without lifting a finger was quite an achievement.

It's better to expend some resources than for someone else to use those resources to turn around and shoot the Black Organization.

Moreover, now that Ireland and the Raven Society have been destroyed, Gin's only remaining goal in Tokyo is to eliminate the East Star Society and get rid of Curaçao. He estimates that his departure from Tokyo is not far off.

It should take about three days.

Riesling, who is taking over his position as the interim head of the Tokyo region, along with Stout and Aquavit, who were specially transferred from other branches, are already on their way and will arrive in Tokyo the day after tomorrow.

After all, several members of the Black Organization active in Japan were transferred here; they were either traitors or incompetent.

Since the local codename members weren't working out, the lord suggested trying overseas codename members, so three overseas codename members who had achieved some success were transferred over.

Those people can achieve good results in other countries, so I believe they should have no problem doing so in Tokyo as well.

Gin stroked his chin, pondering for a moment.

However, as for vodka...

Although he felt that what Vodka knew was just a few scraps of information he had gotten from talking to those big shots, this man had followed him for so long that he had also picked up some important intelligence about the organization.

We need to talk to that person about this beforehand and take some precautions.

If we could just kill Vodka and silence him, that wouldn't be a bad idea... Unfortunately, we can't find Vodka's current location at all, so we'll just have to let that guy live a little longer.

"...So, how do we deal with the Dongchen Society and Curaçao next?"

Gin pondered again and decided to contact the man who claimed to be the chairman of the Steel Association, Takeo Miura.

Although he had never thought much of these underworld organizations, considering them nothing more than a bunch of clowns who couldn't be brought to the table, in the current situation, the clowns also had room to maneuver.

There's no need to do it personally if there are other people available to mobilize.

"...Now you can tell me everything you know."

The secret detention area of ​​the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

After Hakuba Saguru Lorenzo and the Onmyoji were both busy tracking down the Black Mask.

The gold watch group members were also able to take the opportunity to visit this codenamed member of the black-clad organization.

Before coming, he specifically checked the list of undercover agents that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department would be using in the Pacific Buoy Project to make sure that the name Vodka was not on the list before he prepared to take action himself.

Otherwise, if you randomly grab any codenamed member of the Black Organization, they'll find out they're actually undercover agents sent from elsewhere to infiltrate the organization.

If he tortures her again, that would be terrible.

However, now that it can be confirmed that Vodka is a pure-blooded member of the Black Organization and not an undercover agent, he can act freely and use various means to perform a memory restoration technique to make Vodka reveal the information.

The member of the gold watch group spoke again in a calm voice.

"You should also be aware of the operating style of the Japanese Public Security Bureau."

"As long as we can obtain useful information, we will not care at all whether the means of obtaining the information are legal or not. After all, even the Tokyo Public Prosecutor's Office's Public Security Department is completely under the control of the Japanese Public Security Bureau."

“Even if we kill you right here, the Tokyo Public Prosecutor’s Office’s Public Security Department won’t prosecute us.”

"The Japanese Public Security Bureau has the right to use means that are not permitted by law to maintain public safety, which is clearly stated in the law... However, compared to those unscrupulous Japanese public relations personnel at headquarters, I personally still have some bottom line."

"So now I'm warning you for the last time..."

The other Japanese police officers around them all looked menacing.

He spoke again in a calm voice.

“If this continues, I’m not sure if your brain tissue will suffer any permanent damage from the medication.”

"If you reveal all the information you know, then at least we can get you into the Witness Protection Program to ensure that you won't be silenced or assassinated by the Black Organization."

So, what's your final decision?

After hearing numerous threats from Japanese public security officers, Vodka, who had already been subjected to a series of memory restoration techniques, finally couldn't hold back any longer and revealed a rather important piece of information.

It was a phone number recorded entirely from the melody of a song.

The song was called "Seven Sons' Song," which was related to crows. Crows could almost be considered the family emblem of the Karasuma clan, so Karasuma Renya used the melody of "Seven Sons' Song" to make the codenamed members memorize the phone number.

This ensures that each codenamed member can obtain contact information with headquarters without recording their phone number...

Upon hearing this, the gold watch group member frowned slightly and noticed the Japanese Public Security officer beside him.

The Japanese police officer next to him immediately understood, took out his office computer, spread it on the table next to him, turned it on, and began to check the IP address of the phone number given by Vodka.

For the Japanese Public Security Bureau, this was naturally a very simple matter.

In just a few minutes, the Japanese police had already located the IP address corresponding to this phone number... The answer is Tottori Prefecture.

"...Tottori Prefecture in the northeastern part of the country?"

The members of the gold watch group frowned slightly.

In his mind, Tottori was not a very developed place.

Why is the IP address of the phone number that Vodka revealed, which could contact the Black Organization headquarters, located in Tottori? Is the Black Organization headquarters in Tottori? Why was it chosen to be there?

If he remembered correctly, Tottori Prefecture had recently established a joint investigation headquarters with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

It is specifically used to investigate a series of bizarre murders occurring within Tottori Prefecture...

He had been to Tottori Prefecture before and had brief contact with the Japanese Public Security Bureau there. In his impression, the Japanese Public Security Bureau there was actually more competent than the Japanese Public Security Bureau at headquarters, and there were no problems.

If the headquarters of such a massive criminal organization as the Black Organization is actually located in Tottori Prefecture...

So why haven't the local police headquarters and the Japanese Public Security Bureau released any related investigation reports?

Is the Black Organization really that well hidden, or have the local police headquarters and the Japanese Public Security Bureau been completely bribed by the Black Organization, so that not a single word can get out?

"Should we enter this IP address into the database and ask the Japanese Public Security Bureau branch in Tottori Prefecture to investigate it?"

A member of the Japanese Public Security Headquarters next to him looked up and asked.

Upon hearing this, the gold watch group member shook his head without hesitation and said...

"No need. I'll go and take a look myself once things calm down."

He then warned again.

"You cannot tell anyone outside this room about this phone number and IP address. If this information leaks out elsewhere, I will investigate with the investigators to find out who leaked it."

"I think you should know what the consequences would be if you colluded with the Black Organization."

The other Japanese Public Security officers immediately nodded, indicating that they would be mindful of their actions.

The gold watch team member glanced one last time at Vodka, who looked rather pitiful after being subjected to repeated memory restoration techniques, before waving his hand to have the other Japanese Public Security officers deal with Vodka. Then he went to meet with the undercover investigator.
