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

Calvados leaned back in his chair, then emphasized again.

"If you want me to say he is a member of the Shadow Cabinet directly, you can just say so. There's no need to beat around the bush like this."

"As long as you offer me good compensation, I definitely won't change my story, OK?"

...No, there must be something wrong.

The members of the gold watch group remained calm and ignored Calvados's words.

Even if Takahashi on the other side really is a member of the Shadow Cabinet, he would not allow Calvados to testify against Takahashi if he really could not confirm that the guy was a member of the Shadow Cabinet.

Even without considering the possibility that Calvados might recant his testimony for some reason, which could have a negative impact on them.

His status as a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau alone did not allow him to make such a choice.

The gold watch team members racked their brains.

He felt there must be another way to break the deadlock.

Things about Calvados and Takahashi flashed through the minds of the gold watch group members one by one, until finally, he suddenly remembered...

I thought of Rei Furuya.

Or, to put it another way, the codename for the Black Organization member, Bourbon Whiskey.

The gold watch group member turned to Calvados and immediately asked.

"Then I'd like to ask you something."

Calvados shrugged indifferently, then asked in return.

"What is it?"

"You can just say it directly, there's no need to beat around the bush."

In response, a member of the gold watch group stated directly.

"The Shadow Cabinet and the Black Organization are related but not entirely closely connected. Why did you get involved?"

"If you're not willing to tell me, then I'll use truth serum right now."

"You should know that the damage this drug causes to your brain tissue is irreversible. How many more times do you think your body can withstand it?"

Upon hearing this, Calvados's expression changed slightly as he considered the matter carefully.

Ultimately, he gave an ambiguous answer.

"Of course, it's because I had that member of the Shadow Cabinet investigate some things for me."

The gold watch group members immediately pressed for an answer.

"What is it?"

Calvados looked up at the members of the gold watch group, then asked seriously.

"I think you should know."

The gold watch team members did not hesitate at all.

Bourbon whiskey.

Upon hearing the term "bourbon whiskey," Calvados became certain that the members of the gold watch group truly knew about the matter.

To avoid repeated use of truth serum.

Finally, Calvados readily admitted to revealing information related to Vermouth.

"That's right, it's bourbon whiskey."

"My first collaboration with him was when he helped me investigate the true identity of bourbon whiskey, which led to our partnership."

...This is it.

The strongest fortresses always crumble from within.

The members of the Gold Watch Group had likely anticipated that the identity of Bourbon Whiskey, or Furuya Zero, would be leaked due to a mole within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

But hearing this answer now, I couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Although he didn't know much about Rei Furuya and hadn't known him for long, the reason he came to Tokyo was because of Rei Furuya's invitation.

When discussing Rei Furuya's cause of death, it's hard not to feel a pang of sadness.

Rei Furuya, you deserve to die!

If you don't die, we won't be able to catch this shadow cabinet mole in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department!

We will come to offer incense to you again at that time next year!

The gold watch group member, seemingly confident of victory, connected to the Japanese public security officer's earpiece again and then had the officer speak.

“Tell him.”

"His first collaboration with the Black Organization stemmed from his help in investigating the true identity of Bourbon Whiskey, also known as Rei Furuya."

"As long as we trace back to the specific time when Furuya's identity was exposed, it's only a matter of time before we find out the internal access permissions."

In reality, it may not be possible to do so.

Even if it can be found that Takahashi did have access at the time, it doesn't necessarily mean that Takahashi was the one who leaked the information.

After all, they may not have received the intelligence on the day they attacked Furuya Rei.

It may be earlier, it may be later.

Regardless of the timeframe, there's still room for maneuver. Therefore, he used a different approach.

The members of the Black Organization must know exactly when Bourbon Whiskey's identity was exposed, so he only needs to use this vague timeframe to spy on Takahashi...

Perhaps then everything will come to an end.

Chapter 1,393

The brief psychological battle has ended.

He was the victor...

Takahashi Tsuna?

No, it's him!

Members from the Gold Watch Group!

After the members of the gold watch group explicitly used information about the Black Organization as bait for fraud.

Takahashi was fooled.

The ideas of the gold watch group members are risky.

Just as he had previously thought.

The days when Bourbon Whiskey's identity was exposed did not necessarily mean that Takahashi would transfer his authority to investigate who the internal spies were.

That alone is not enough to kill him.

But coincidentally, Takahashi did help Vermouth investigate during the days when Bourbon Whiskey's identity was exposed.

He wasn't sure if the members of the gold watch group were telling the truth or not.

This is a gamble you can't afford to lose.

Takahashi finally let out a long sigh.

he said,

"I didn't expect you to have investigated this far... Fine, I'll tell you then."

"the truth."

Upon hearing this, the members of the gold watch group perked up and immediately asked.

Who are the members of the Shadow Cabinet?

"Do you really have any major operations planned for this period of time?"

Upon hearing this, Takahashi simply smiled and then stated definitively,

"Even I don't know exactly who the members of the Shadow Cabinet are."

"All I know is that they are the absolute top management."

"At most, I can only provide you with a direction for the investigation, otherwise I will definitely die."

"As for a major operation?"

Hearing this, Takahashi was a little puzzled. He simply looked up at the members of the Gold Watch Group and asked.

"You must have known we were about to launch a major operation, which is why you continued the investigation and eventually found me."

Why ask such a question now?

"I'm curious, how did you know we were going to have a big operation coming up soon?"

"Is there a mole within the shadow cabinet?"

"If there really was a mole within the Shadow Cabinet, my identity should have been exposed immediately, instead of waiting until now..."

"I don't understand."

Having said that, the members of the gold watch group naturally had nothing to hide and simply stated...

"The answer is Yin-Yang magic."

"We used Yin-Yang magic."

Upon hearing this, Takahashi, who had been somewhat composed, suddenly raised his head and said incredulously.

"Yin-Yang magic?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Takahashi really didn't want to believe that he could lose to something so inexplicable, but just as he was wondering if it was a lie...
