It may even be less than one percent.

If Toru Amuro's information is correct, the two people who made themselves smaller, codenamed Gin and Vodka, are not worth mentioning in the organization.

"The Zoo isn't very strong, but they have the support of a consortium behind them. The Black Organization should be about the same. Do you have any suspects?"

"First, eliminate the Fujimine Group."

"Why is this again?"

"According to my research, the organization has existed for at least fifty years, as long as half a century. And the Fujimine Group only began to gain momentum 22 years ago."

Amuro Toru paused and said in a deep voice:

"Besides, the leaders of the Fujimine Group are all good people."

In other words, that guy is not an enemy.

At this moment, Conan felt inexplicably relieved.

If we were to fight that monster, there would be no chance of winning no matter how we thought about it.

"All the large and historic conglomerates are our suspects. Suzuki, Ooka, Karasuma, etc..."

"Does Suzuki count, too?"

"Of course, the Suzuki Group is the primary suspect. As the host, their inadequate security nearly led to a disaster.

If that man hadn't suddenly taken action, a major case would definitely have occurred.

They have the reason and the power to retaliate.”

This is true.

You can know a person's face but not his heart. No one can tell what others are thinking.

Even if Sonoko is a big fool and has no bad intentions, there is no guarantee that her family will not take advantage of her innocence.

Furthermore, Sonoko's mother looks very shrewd, and her sister also seems to have a hidden dark personality.

"I understand. I will find a way to test the Suzuki family."

Chapter 117: Could you please let Shinichi go?

"arrive."

The car stopped outside a cherry blossom forest.

After getting off the car, Kuroba Kaito looked around unconsciously.

Outside the endless cherry blossom forest, there are uniformly dressed bodyguards in black suits, standing every two meters, standing tall like pine trees, looking extremely spectacular.

Outside the entrance gate, a middle-aged butler in a tuxedo stood in a neat row with a team of maids on both sides.

"Welcome Mr. Kuroba to visit Sakura Sigetsu-so."

"Sakura April Village? What a strange name." Kuroba Kaito unconsciously complained, "Could there be a May Village or a June Village?"

"Yes. Because Ms. Yukiko likes to appreciate flowers, we have established many different manors across the country according to the flowering periods of different plants to ensure that there are flowers to appreciate all year round.

The cherry blossoms planted here are late cherry blossoms, and now is the time when the flowers are in full bloom.

Please follow me, gentlemen and ladies have been waiting for a long time."

Following the middle-aged housekeeper, they strolled along the path of April Manor, watching the cherry blossoms falling. They were all curious and kept looking around.

It is now mid-to-late April, and the cherry blossoms in Tokyo have gradually withered, but the cherry blossoms here are in full bloom.

Countless petals raining down, the warm sunshine on your face, and the gentle breeze blowing by make people feel relaxed and happy.

"Can we take a photo?" Hei Yu Qianying couldn't help but ask.

"Of course. As long as there's no reservation or private booking from our main family, we'll be open to visitors morning, noon, and night. Actually, Sakura Shigetsu-so is quite famous online."

"Huh...? So, the other manors will be open to tourists as well?"

"Of course. There are plum blossom twelfth month manors, chrysanthemum twelfth month manors, ginkgo twelfth month manors, and so on, all over the country. If Madam Qianying is interested, I can give you a flower viewing guide later."

"Then please!"

Hei Yu Qianying smiled. It was amazing that there were flowers to enjoy all year round.

More importantly, they are willing to open up to the outside world.

"That's amazing! In my impression, many consortiums have various ornamental plants in their private villas, but they are all hidden away, for fear of being seen."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from several people above their heads:

"That's such a waste, isn't it? Flowers are meant to be admired."

Looking up, I saw a girl with long blue hair and wearing a school uniform standing on a branch.

"Miss Lingnu, why did you climb up there again? It's very dangerous!" The housekeeper looked embarrassed.

"What's so dangerous about climbing a tree? You're so slow! Miki and I are waiting for dinner."

The bell girl flipped over and jumped, landing easily, and said with a smile:

"Hurry over, I've prepared a lot of rare ingredients today, and I haven't eaten since morning."

Kuroba Kaito burst out laughing. He thought only children from poor families would do this, but it turns out that children from rich families would also have the same idea.

It's almost 11 o'clock now. I've been hungry since morning. Is it really that serious?

However, this woman is also quite skilled... She's almost like a ninja.

After a few minutes, the group arrived at an open space.

There were many blankets on the ground and several barbecue grills on each side. As several people arrived, the chefs in chef uniforms had already started working.

Bai Mu, whom I met on the cruise ship the day before yesterday, was now wearing light casual clothes and looked like a high school student going on a trip.

On the left is a beautiful woman who looks to be around 30 years old, and on the right is a blonde beauty who looks to be in her 20s. Both of them are dressed in ordinary clothes of thin sweaters and cropped pants, but because of their outstanding looks and plump figures, the mother next to them is completely outshined.

However, in order to avoid his mother's anger, Kuroba Kaito only took a glance and then shifted his gaze to other people.

Behind the three of them, there was a little girl with long pink hair, taking pictures with her mobile phone.

She wore a short-sleeved shirt, pleated skirt and jacket, and looked like a middle school kid.

"Sure enough, Fujimine Baku doesn't exist?" Kuroba Kaito muttered to himself.

"I'm Fujimine Maku. Well then, welcome to Sakurasou..."

Bai Mu took the initiative to step forward and shook hands with Kuroba Toichi and Kudo Yusaku in succession. After asking them to sit down, he said again:

"Today is a private dinner. Although I thought about going to the hotel, barbecue is still the best choice."

"Enjoying cherry blossoms in spring and snow in winter, reminiscing about the past over barbecue and fine wine with friends, is definitely better than sitting alone in a hotel."

"However, since there are minors here, we won't be drinking today. We've prepared a variety of drinks, including fruit beer, which is enough to replace fine wine."

Kuroba Kaito was a little speechless. Since when could drinks and fruit beer replace fine wine?

However, this is quite interesting.

Besides, I am not old enough to drink.

So, this arrangement is not bad.

"Compared to before, you really haven't changed much." Hei Yu Daoyi laughed unconsciously.

Although we were together for only a short month, I still remember it vividly.

"For the past 22 years, Yusaku and I have always suspected that you might have been murdered, but we searched for a long time and found no clues. I never thought that we would meet again one day. Anyway, please allow me to say one more thing - long time no see."

"Yeah, long time no see."

Bai Mu looked carefully at the two men's slightly weathered faces, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.

For me, it was just a few months, but for Yukiko, Vermouth, and others, they all experienced it for 22 years.

To be honest, Bai Mu almost forgot the appearance of his elementary school classmates from ten years ago, let alone 22 years.

At this time, Kudo Yusaku suddenly spoke:

"I originally chose to become a detective because all the tricks and methods I could think of had already been described in the works published by the Fujimine Group."

"I really can't think of any good ideas, so I can only slowly explore new routes through practice."

"Later, my wife has always been interested in the supernatural and traveled around the world, doing archaeological research. I followed her everywhere."

“Until eight years ago, I wasn’t very interested in organizing.”

"But eight years ago, my brother died unexpectedly. I felt there must be something fishy about his death, so I followed that lead and began investigating."

"The members of that organization use animals as their codenames, so let's call them the Zoo. I know their purpose and who their boss is, but as a detective, without evidence and help, there's nothing I can do."

"For eight years, we could only quietly accumulate evidence."

"I never expected the zoo to suddenly close down."

Kudo Yusaku sighed softly, took out two USB flash drives with animal and wine bottle labels on them from his pocket, and placed them on the blanket.

"Besides that, I actually discovered another organization that uses wine as its code name."

"I've collected a lot of member lists and criminal evidence."

"Now, I'm handing all of this over to you. Can you please let Shinichi go?"

Bai Mu was slightly stunned and looked at him blankly.

Two seconds later, he came to his senses and subconsciously looked to the side at Vermouth:

"Chris, what do you think?"

"Well...you decide. No matter what you decide, I will support you unconditionally." Vermouth gently held Baimu's hand and said with a smile, "Even if you want me to betray the organization, there will be no problem."

? ?

Hearing this, Kudo Yusaku's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that all the previous inferences were wrong? The consortium behind the organization wasn't the Fujimine Consortium?

"In that case, let me be frank. I never intended to do anything to Shinichi and Conan. On the contrary, I actually like him quite a bit."

Bai Mu smiled and then said:

"To be honest, I just drew a little blood from him and scared him a little."

"Besides that, there's nothing else."

Kudo Yusaku's mind raced, but due to insufficient information, his brain was in a complete mess.

"Then... Shinichi..."

"Nothing."

After saying this, Bai Mu sighed unconsciously and said thoughtfully:

"You lack too much information. Even if I tell you this, you won't understand. Let me briefly explain the current situation."

"Hmm...where do I even begin?"

At this moment, Vermouth suddenly interrupted with a smile:

"Let me tell you. Decades ago, the old man founded an organization. It didn't have a formal name, and all the members used code names after alcoholic beverages."

"The organization's influence spans the globe. Over the past few decades, the old man has used various methods to recruit talented individuals in medicine, finance, science, and other fields, using coercion, inducement, and every possible means."

"The organization basically uses a single line of communication. Even members with code names often don't know each other."

"Within the organization, the only people who know the organization's true purpose are me and the old man. Everyone else thinks the organization's purpose is to grow and become stronger. Every codename member has developed their own plan and is working hard to achieve it."

"Over the past few decades, the organization has used members under code names to extend its web into many invisible corners."

"The old man is a very cautious person. To avoid exposing his true purpose and arousing the covetousness of others, he has remained hidden deep within the organization, remotely directing the operation through a few codenamed members he trusts."

"As a result, there are status differences among codename members."

"In order to avoid revealing his identity, the old man asked everyone to call him Boss and banned any special titles that might reveal his identity."

"Over the past few decades, the codename members who had actually seen the old man have gradually passed away, and the ones left are all elderly people who are about to die."

"The drug Kudo Shinichi took is called APTX4869. It has always been used as a poison within the organization because current technology cannot determine the cause of death."

"Aside from the boss and me, no one knows the true effects of Drug A."
