Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

She looked at Bourbon with a deep, unsettling gaze.

"I remember you investigated this matter before..."

When Shuichi Akai appeared, he was so desperate to catch him that he even disguised himself as Shuichi Akai to test the FBI.

Amuro Tooru shrugged. "There's nothing I can do. Koniak sent me a mission. He suspects that Kir is involved, so I have to investigate again."

"Since you were involved at the time, please tell me what happened again... and finally, how did Gin change his mind about killing Kogoro Mouri..."

……

Aozawa received the investigation report from Amuro Tooru.

They were right on the last three-day deadline.

Qingze didn't want to comment on this kind of scouting.

Looking at the report, he gave a mocking smile.

"The FBI deliberately planted a listening device in Kiel's shoe, scheming and misleading Gin into believing that Kogoro Mouri had planted it. While Gin was leading his men to snipe Kogoro Mouri, FBI agent Shuichi Akai seriously injured Gin..."

It seems reasonable and logical. But why doesn't he believe it?

But the investigation report has already been released. Even if he were to change the investigator, the result would probably be the same. After all, that's what the organization thinks, isn't it?

He looked at the people involved in the incident listed in the report.

Gin, vodka, Vermouth, Cohen, Chianti.

Gin is still blocking Vermouth; he doesn't want to contact her.

Cohen couldn't utter a single word for ages; Chianti had bipolar disorder.

Vodka is the most suitable candidate for questioning.

He made a phone call to Vodka.

Vodka was driving, with his older brother, who had just taken a break and was now back to diligently carrying out his mission.

He was a little stunned when he suddenly received a call from Koniak.

Why would this jinx call him?

He doesn't want to answer!

But if he doesn't answer the phone, this scoundrel will definitely cause him trouble.

Vodka reluctantly answered the phone.

"It took you so long to answer, Vodka, you're testing my patience."

Because he was driving, Vodka was on speakerphone, and as soon as the call connected, Koniak's sarcastic voice came from the other end.

Gin, who had been resting with his eyes closed in the passenger seat, opened them.

"Hang up."

Vodka's hand touched the phone; he really wanted to hang up.

But the next moment, the voice came through the receiver again.

"Vodka, try hanging it up."

Vodka froze, his fingers stopping.

The older man next to him glanced over; Koniak's threat on the phone was undisguised.

Vodka wept in his heart.

Why did he have to suffer all this?!

In the end, he didn't hang up the phone.

Pick out the soft persimmons and pinch them.

The elder brother was relatively tolerant of his subordinates and could understand them, but Koniak was different.

He didn't want to be lying in the organization's emergency room the next time he encountered Koniak.

His older brother might show mercy when disciplining him, but Koniak would truly kill him!

Vodka refused to hang up, and Gin gave him a cold look but didn't press the issue.

"Since Gin is here too, that's perfect. I'm very curious about your encounter with Shuichi Akai that time."

Gin suddenly opened his eyes.

Why did Koniak suddenly ask about a dead man?

Shuichi Akai is still alive?

"Which time?" Vodka was unsure which time Koniak was referring to.

"It was the time when a listening device was planted in Kiel's shoe."

"Are you investigating Kir?" Gin suddenly asked.

"Don't you think there's something wrong with her?" Qingze retorted.

“Indeed.” Gin sneered.

Not only Kiel, but there are probably other rats in the organization.

However, it's not impossible to use this to expose them all at once.

"What did the listening device in the sole of her shoe look like?"

Vodka recalled, "It was wrapped in chewing gum and stuck together, and it looked a lot like a small button. We've found something similar in my older brother's car before."

Vodka had expected Koniak to make a sarcastic remark, and he was prepared to be intimidated by his older brother, but to his surprise, Koniak simply glossed over the matter.

"Using chewing gum? Those FBI agents are pretty clever. What happened to that bugging device later?"

"It was destroyed by Shuichi Akai."

"Did you deliberately remove that bugging device?"

"Yeah, I was going to take it back to test the fingerprints and saliva on it, but it was knocked away."

Qingze seemed to be deep in thought.

Was it deliberately aborted because they were afraid the organization would use it to find out who it was?

But if it was a setup from the beginning, a deliberate scheme, there shouldn't be any fingerprints or saliva left on it, right?

Or was it an accident that the bugging device got on the sole of the shoe?

"So how did you manage to let Kogoro Mouri go afterward? Given Gin's personality, even if it was a mistake, he wouldn't let him go, right?"

Aozawa only knew that Vermouth had protected Kogoro Mouri, but he didn't know the specific reason why.

The report didn't specify anything, only saying that Vermouth stopped Gin from trying to silence her.

Vodka glanced at his older brother, and seeing that he had no expression, he said:

"Because Vermouth seems to have some kind of romantic relationship with that Kogoro Mouri, she protected him."

Qingze teased, "Lover?"

Would Vermouth really be interested in that old drunkard?

That's probably just an excuse.

The call was disconnected. Vodka looked at his older brother and asked uncertainly:

"Does he suspect that Shuichi Akai is not dead?"

He witnessed Shuichi Akai's death.

Bourbon then disguised himself as Shuichi Akai to test the FBI agents, whose reactions were unmistakable.

"If Kiel has a problem, then it's possible."

Is there a problem with Kiel?

Of course there is a problem!

Therefore, Shuichi Akai's death now seems problematic.

Gin suddenly became excited and revealed a cold and cruel smile.

"Shuichi Akai, if you're not dead, I'll take care of you myself."

……

Qingze gently tapped the table beside him, making a tapping sound.

He didn't care whether Shuichi Akai was dead or not, and he wasn't responsible for cleaning up the undercover agents. What puzzled him was Vermouth.

What is her relationship with the Mori family?

Did the Mori family really have no one in the know about this whole thing?

Neither Bourbon's report nor Vodka's account mentioned the child Conan Edogawa.

Bourbon may have intentionally concealed the other party, while Vodka and the others were completely unaware.

That's normal; who would pay attention to a child?

However, Ran Mouri's safety can be guaranteed.

As long as nothing goes wrong with Bourbon, Ran Mouri should not be noticed by the organization.

He picked up his phone and sent a message to Ran Mouri.

Come over after school this afternoon.

Ran Mouri, who was in class when she received the message, secretly took out her phone and glanced at it, looking somewhat distracted.

Mr. Qingze asked her to come over after school today. Is there something you need?

What do we need to learn this time?

She's been learning a lot lately, a little bit of everything, but hasn't mastered any of them. Learning new things is really overwhelming for her.

The girl next to her winked at her, and a note was quietly passed to her.

'You're in class, who are you texting?'

Ran Mouri sighed upon seeing the note; her friend's gossip was truly unmatched.

Seeing that Ran had put the note away and wasn't going to reply, Sonoko Suzuki pouted sullenly.

Recently, Xiaolan has been leaving as soon as school is over. She's stopped going to the karate club, stopped going shopping with her, and even stops walking home with her after school. There are also several obscure and difficult books in her schoolbag now...

The Queen of Deduction believes that her friend has a problem, a very big problem!

After school, she would pester Xiaolan to see where she went after school and whether she had a new love interest!

Chapter 51 Xiaolan, Don't Even Think About Abandoning Me

The bell rang, and Ran Mouri packed her things, ready to leave.

Sonoko Suzuki, who had already tidied up, firmly took her hand.

"Xiao Lan, you're not going to abandon me today!"

"what?"

Ran was confused, not knowing what Sonoko was up to.

"It's been three days! You haven't walked home with me after school for three days now!"

Sonoko looked accusing, as if she were looking at a faithless man.

Xiao Lan felt embarrassed.

She's been studying at Qingze's place lately, and the time after school is just right. She studies for a few hours and then goes home for dinner, which won't arouse suspicion from her father and Conan.

How can she get away from Sonoko who's been clinging to her like this?

Sera Masumi, who was standing to the side, glanced at them with a smile but did not step between the two girls.

She's been busy lately investigating Asada Hospital, trying to find clues about the organization.
