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

"How could that be? I'm not interested in that."

"Moreover, it seems that Arne doesn't intend to play the game. He seems to just want to go to the Cocoon Games site to see how this groundbreaking virtual game is going and prepare for his future entrepreneurial venture."

Is Mr. Chen En about to start his own business?

Ran Mouri looked somewhat surprised and asked,

",Really?"

"Why did Mr. Chen En suddenly decide to start his own business?"

At this point, Ran Mouri, thinking of the seemingly rapidly escalating relationship between Sonoko and Chen En, said in surprise,

"Ah, could it be that it's because..."

At this point, Sonoko Suzuki became a little embarrassed.

But he still said in a low voice.

"Yes, just like you think."

"A-En started the business because she decided to meet my mom with me after the Cocoon Games announcement. My mom values ​​my boyfriend's abilities a lot, so A-En needs to demonstrate some of those abilities before she'll agree to the relationship... But I think A-En will be fine. He's the most outstanding person I've ever met!"

"In any aspect!"

Chapter 380 The Actions That Arise from the Pacific Buoys

Curaçao, the deputy of the Karasuma family's deputy, has arrived in Tokyo, the city she is loyal to, today.

Her whereabouts were unknown to codenamed members including Bourbon Whiskey, Kiel, Gin, and Vodka. The only people who knew about it were Rum, Ireland, and Curaçao herself.

The Black Organization's temporary headquarters meeting room

Ireland looked intently at the organization's core member who had rushed over and asked,

"Curaçao, is Rum really sure you want to personally undertake this extremely dangerous mission?"

Curaçao remained expressionless in response.

She simply rested her chin on her hands, nodded slightly, and remained predominantly silent.

Noticing that Ireland seemed to want to ask more questions, she then said,

"Only I can ensure that everything goes perfectly."

Curaçao, the rum's second-in-command, and the most trusted codenamed member.

Her fighting prowess goes without saying; she can scale walls and rooftops while wearing high heels.

If it were merely about escaping the pursuit by the Japanese Public Security Bureau after the mission, Ireland could do that too. However, to quickly memorize the information the mission required after infiltrating was something Ireland couldn't do.

To be precise, only Curaçao can do that, or have the rum come over in person.

Curaçao possesses a terrifying memory storage ability, using the five-colored cards as a memory medium, and can even achieve photographic memory. She was nearly killed by Vermouth once because of this.

It was rum that got Vermouth out of trouble, which saved Curaçao from disaster.

This mission is one that requires Curaçao to utilize her memory.

The Tokyo Public Prosecutors Office's internal special storage database contains lists of undercover agents from various countries who have infiltrated the Black Organization.

To ensure a smooth and unforeseen future for rum,

So, upon learning of this intelligence, he immediately sent Curaçao to Tokyo and had Ireland cooperate with Curaçao to infiltrate the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and steal the list of undercover agents within the Black Organization.

However, Ireland still doesn't know why the lists of undercover agents from various countries are kept in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's database.

However, Ireland was unaware of this, but Curaçao was well aware of it.

As Rum's right-hand woman, Rum rarely kept any information from her.

This includes information about the "Pacific Buoy" project, which is being overseen by a member of the Rum Group codenamed Binga. This list of undercover agents from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is an extension of the Pacific Buoy project.

The Pacific Buoy Project is a global networked surveillance system created by the International Criminal Court by connecting countries.

By leveraging the cross-age identification system within the Pacific Buoy facility, as well as the surveillance networks and crime databases of various countries, the Pacific Buoy program can quickly identify all criminals and facilitate their capture.

The United States was the leading force behind the Pacific Buoy Program.

Aside from the mysterious Eastern superpower that possesses its own Skynet system and is not involved in this project, almost every country capable of deploying surveillance systems participated in the Pacific Buoy Project.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's undercover agent list was compiled from this data.

The Pacific Buoy Project cannot identify undercover agents from various countries who have infiltrated the Black Organization as criminals.

Therefore, the United States needs a whitelist mechanism to ensure that undercover agents from various countries are not mistakenly arrested by police forces in different countries as members of the Black Organization after the launch of the Pacific Buoy Project, which would allow them to collect information on undercover agents from intelligence organizations in various countries.

Because Japan is essentially an extension of the United States' influence, and the Pacific Buoy Project was designed within Japanese territory,

Therefore, the United States temporarily transferred this list of data to the internal database of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for storage. Once the Pacific Buoy Project is officially launched, this data will be transferred to the Pacific Buoy Project's database from the nearest location.

Of course, from Rum's perspective, this behavior is simply insane.

But he would not point this out; instead, he would cheer it on, because this operation would benefit the Black Organization. As long as Curaçao could get the list, the organization would have its first time without a single undercover agent!

This information was sent back by Binga, who was infiltrated within Project Pacific Buoy.

Curaçao thus appeared in Tokyo.

"Rum has given you the authority to use any weapon."

"According to the plan, at the very least, you should ensure that I can safely escape from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. I need to make it clear that if my operation is successful, I will remain in Tokyo to assist you in further controlling the Tokyo area."

"If the operation fails, I will leave Tokyo immediately and report to Rum."

Curaçao calmly added the relevant explanation.

However, Ireland was completely unconcerned about this.

He knew perfectly well what kind of incompetent bunch the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was. With Curaçao's abilities, it was no joke that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was like a public toilet—you could come and go as you pleased.

There is only one possibility for mission failure.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department knew that someone was going to attack the database and steal the list of undercover agents from various intelligence organizations who had infiltrated their organizations, so they deleted it or encrypted it in multiple layers in advance. But how was that possible?

Rum's operation was flawless.

If there really was a leak, it could only have been one of him, Curaçao, or Rum. Obviously, he wouldn't have done it, and as Rum's right-hand man, Curaçao certainly wouldn't have either. Rum would have even less reason to do so.

If the Black Organization's deputies are all undercover agents, then what's the point of running a market? Just shut it down.

Ireland said with a serious expression,

"It doesn't matter, I'll take action."

"You can rest assured about this operation!"

Inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department at this very moment.

Members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau were on routine patrol when the officer in charge of the classified database opened the database door, glanced at the database's main screen which was always running, and after confirming that there were no problems starting it up, locked it and left.

However, these members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau were unaware that

In a corner inside the database, a bat icon made of data has been waiting for a long time.

Chen En has a plan.

He knew that Curaçao would one day infiltrate the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to steal the undercover agent list, but he couldn't be sure exactly when. He couldn't possibly monitor the database every single moment of every day.

Therefore, he replaced the list and set up linked alarm settings.

Yesterday morning, he added Inspector Zenigata, who was still in Tokyo, to the notification list.

It's better to be prepared.

Chapter 381 The Return of Rye Whiskey

A room at the FBI's temporary headquarters.

James Black, the highest-ranking FBI investigator, is using a computer to compile supplementary information for the investigation report on the events of the previous night.

Yes, additional information was requested; higher-ranking FBI officials indeed asked them to provide further details.

His previous attempts to be vague and cover up the truth failed, so James Black had to work alone through the night to prepare the report, while the other operators were still asleep.

"James, are you writing a report again?"

Judith Sterling appeared at the door of the room.

She casually placed the coffee she was carrying next to the computer desk and asked with some concern,

"It wouldn't be a problem if these reports were split among other agents, would it?"

"I can help too... Although Batman's performance was quite amazing, headquarters shouldn't question such a report, since Area 51 is also conducting research in this area, right?"

The Area 51 that Judy mentioned is a secret research area established by the United States in the 1950s.

The area was originally used as a nuclear test site. Later, due to the frequent occurrence of various mysterious events around the world, other supernatural events were also included in the scope of research. Although it is widely known, the United States government has never recognized the existence of Area 51.

James rubbed his forehead, looking somewhat troubled, at Judy's suggestion.

He picked up his coffee and took a sip. The bitterness of the coffee made him slightly more alert. He thought of the new investigation assignment from FBI headquarters and couldn't help but sigh.

"Other FBI agents still have things to investigate."

"Remember the series of murders that happened in the United States? The serial killings where all the victims were linked to Navy SEALs. After an investigation, the FBI has identified four suspects."

"Scott Green, Timothy Hunter, Kevin Yoshino, Max Spencer."

"These four people are all within the Tokyo metropolitan area, so the investigation into them has been transferred to us. After the arrest of Lupin III yesterday, they started investigating this matter again."

"Compared to the operatives who actually take action, shouldn't I, who writes reports, be more diligent?"

They're all people connected to the United States Army.
