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

Conan: ?

You'd better not sleep at all.

Just as Conan jumped off the sofa, contemplating whether to jump up and punch Chen En in the knee or simply go back to the agency to sleep, a familiar voice came from outside the window, even humming a little tune.

Immediately, Conan sighed and said,

Here we go again.

Chen En: ?

Here we go again? What, here we go again?

A hint of doubt appeared in Chen En's eyes.

He turned his head to look at the street. At this moment, there was only Kogoro Mouri on the street. The moonlight shone on him, making his swaying figure look somewhat dashing.

The sleeping detective was humming a little tune as he walked.

He had an expression that said he'd had a great time drinking tonight.

Chen En raised an eyebrow.

He hadn't been in his apartment at this time lately, and today was the first time he'd come home at this hour. Therefore, this was the first time he'd seen Kogoro Mouri attacking at night in a drunken state.

Conan, standing next to Chen En, gripped the windowsill with both hands, struggling to sit up, and looked out the window at Kogoro Mouri.

Then, Conan sighed again and said,

"Don't be surprised, that's how it is."

"Chen En, do you still remember the little lily by your bedside?"

Chen En nodded slightly.

However, he didn't know what Kogoro Mouri's current state had to do with Sayuri by his bedside.

Could it be that... Kogoro Mouri went to serve drinks to Sayuri by his bedside?

That's not impossible, because the reason why Sayuri is clinging to Kogoro Mouri might be because Kogoro Mouri looks remarkably like Sayuri's deceased husband.

However, Kogoro Mouri even went so far as to lay a hand on Sayuri, who was sitting right next to his bed.

He had to admit that Kogoro Mouri was indeed the most authoritative figure when it came to detectives.

Let alone him, no Batman in history has ever had to drink with someone as heavyweight as Sayuri. In this respect, Kogoro Mouri has surpassed all Batmen by himself.

Conan noticed that Chen En's gaze was a little strange, and quickly explained,

"The key is not Sayuri, but the old man who was competing with Sayuri and Eri for Uncle Mori. That old man's name is Ryozo Gamo."

"Gao Liangzo's purpose in seeking out Uncle Mori was to find witnesses or evidence that he did not commit murder."

"As a reward, he would treat Kogoro Mori to drinks at an izakaya or restaurant every day, even though Uncle Mori made no progress in this regard, Ryozo Gamo would still treat him every day without fail."

"So much so that whenever Uncle Mori is free at night, he will definitely go out, and when he does, he will definitely be drinking with Ryozo Gamo."

The elementary school student who was about to die sighed.

It carried a hint of disappointment and frustration.

"I clearly told Xiaolan to control her drinking."

"As a result, I still drink without any restraint. I'm just relying on my good physical condition to tough out the side effects of alcohol. After all, there's no such thing as alcohol that makes you more energetic the more you drink."

"I felt that the old man was simply looking for drinking buddies."

Because right now, Gamo Ryozo's behavior is nothing like that of a client. Where is there a client who sends a message during the day asking if there are any clues, and then invites people over for drinks at night?

Hearing this, Chen En also felt a little uneasy.

Of course, it's possible that Ryozo Gamo is a genuinely kind person, but Kogoro Mouri's detective skills are simply too poor, which is why the situation has remained stuck in this limbo.

It's definitely time to get Kogoro Mouri to quit drinking.

As for Kamao Ryozo...

Chen En planned to go back and investigate what exactly happened to Gamo Ryozo that made him so eager to help Mouri Kogoro find evidence to prove his innocence.

"Okay, I'm going back now."

"The old man should be asleep in his room by now, so I need to sneak over there. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if he wakes up and finds that I'm not on the tatami at this time."

Conan said, waving goodbye.

Chen En also felt that he was about to lose his composure regarding Conan's situation.

As a future member of high society, he owns a big house, but he lives in the Mouri Detective Agency every day, sleeping on tatami mats and not even having a bed to sleep in.

All I can say is that Conan deserves it; he asked for it and got it.

Chapter 473 Acting Expediently

The night was pitch black, and even the stars in the sky had disappeared.

The Black Organization's temporary local headquarters in Tokyo.

Curaçao is speaking directly with his superior, the rum supplier.

Her expression remained calm as always.

"The plan for Ireland has been put forward."

"So, are you confident about this?"

The rum asked,

"If you're not confident, then abandon this mission."

"Ultimately, the initial decision was that you would stay only if the theft of the spy list was successful, and if it failed, you would be evacuated immediately. It was only because of the danger posed by the Tokyo-based organization that you were allowed to stay a little longer."

"The organization already has enough codenamed members in Tokyo. Whether you stay or not won't change what you're called."

Upon hearing this, Curaçao nodded silently.

Within the organization, she is known as "Curaçao, who possesses a thousand colors," but in front of familiar people, she always only presents one color, appearing somewhat lacking in emotional fluctuation.

However, rum has gotten used to this.

"It seems you're confident you can get out unscathed."

"However, I need to remind you one last thing: your goal is to take down Rye Whiskey, not Batman. Therefore, if you feel strained when the plan requires you to hold Batman back, retreat immediately."

"Killing Batman is Ireland's goal, not yours."

"Besides, in my opinion, Ireland's credibility isn't that high either..."

"Rum said in a low voice."

The fact that Curaçao failed to steal spy information this time is just too bizarre. Under normal circumstances, how could someone hack into the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's confidential database and then change the spy list without doing anything?

Isn't that just plain stupid?

It seems that someone tipped them off beforehand, leading to someone deliberately altering the spy list and leaving it to Curaçao, who then stole it and brought it back to the organization, thus triggering internal strife within the organization.

The person who tipped him off could not have been himself, nor could it have been Curaçao, who almost got caught.

Therefore, rum suspects that Ireland was tipping them off.

The obviously fake spy list did not include Ireland's code name. Even if Ireland saved Curaçao, it could not rule out suspicion. After all, Ireland could very well have set up a trap for Curaçao, arresting and releasing him to gain favor.

The tactic of feigning indifference to lure someone in is a common one in any country or region.

“Kier told you there are two kinds of bourbon whiskey, which is unbelievable. Kiel is a member of the Gin Operations Group. Gin is very close to Vermouth, who is completely opposed to you.”

"Your situation will likely be very dangerous during this operation."

"So, I'm giving you the authority to act as you please. You can kill whoever you want, no problem. If anything goes wrong, I'll take the blame for you. There isn't a single codename member in the entire city of Tokyo that you can truly trust. Even if you kill them all, you won't be making a mistake."

Rum's words sounded dangerous and domineering. He continued,

"Curaçao, you'd better come back alive."

"The information about bourbon whiskey... it feels vaguely familiar."

Vermouth said in a low voice.

She was using her laptop to go online, and her purpose was obvious: to investigate the secrets of bourbon whiskey, just as Gin had told her before.

If bourbon whiskey has no secrets, no cards left, then bourbon whiskey is dead.

What Vermouth was about to do was to cut off the source of the problem.

If she can find where Bourbon Whiskey hid the information, she can naturally use the ingredients of Dark Baron, or use offline methods to eliminate it, thus clearing away any worries in order to get rid of Bourbon Whiskey.

However, the more Vermouth investigated, the stranger it seemed.

Because bourbon whiskey appears to use encryption methods employed by the Japanese Public Security Bureau for information security.

This was the solution given to her by the member of the Shadow Cabinet during their deal. She originally intended to use it on Dai Moroboshi, but unexpectedly, it yielded another discovery on Bourbon Whiskey.

Could it be that bourbon whiskey is really a mole within the Japanese Public Security Bureau?

At that time, Daishin Moroboshi started the sniping at the Beika Municipal Building, while the one who actually stayed at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Regional Headquarters was Bourbon Whiskey. So all of Bourbon Whiskey's actions make sense.

Vermouth is thinking.

If bourbon whiskey really was an undercover agent for the Japanese Public Security Bureau...

So their plan to kill someone turned out to be a good one, which sounds like a strange kind of dark humor.

However, Vermouth's thoughts were quickly interrupted.

The reason is simple: Gin has arrived.

As the top nuclear power engine of the Black Organization's operations team.

"What were the results of the investigation by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department?"

Gin asked calmly.
