The black market has always been a hub for all sorts of mysterious items and information, and Conan knew that he might find some clues there.

He roamed every corner of the black market, dealing with all sorts of intelligence brokers and black market dealers.

Some of these people were greedy and cunning, while others were cowardly and afraid of trouble, but Conan, with his wisdom and skillful words, gradually pieced together some useful information from them.

After a painstaking investigation, Conan finally discovered a clue that resembled the badge.

Chapter 85 Quietly Gathering Clues

He learned from a black market dealer that there was once a mysterious organization whose members wore badges with special markings that were very similar to the wolf claw marks left by the mysterious man.

According to the businessman, this mysterious organization operates discreetly but possesses immense strength and influence. They seem to be secretly manipulating the course of some major events, but their specific purposes and actions remain largely unknown.

A thought struck Conan: he began to suspect that there was some unknown connection between the mysterious man and Cao Yu.

What is the connection between this mysterious organization and Cao Yu? Does Cao Yu know about the organization's existence? With these questions in mind, Conan decides to find Cao Yu to learn more about the situation.

Inside the distillery, Vermouth, the alluring yet ruthless mysterious woman, sensed through her keen intuition that someone within the organization was deliberately targeting Cao Yu.

She was well aware of the complex power struggles within the distillery, with various factions vying for power, but this operation against Cao Yu seemed particularly unusual.

Therefore, Vermouth decided to secretly investigate the mastermind behind this. She wanted to find out who was behind all of this and what their purpose was.

Using her special position and extensive network at the distillery, Vermouth began to secretly gather clues.

She wandered through every corner of the 371 Winery, talking with different members. In what seemed like casual chatter, she was actually subtly extracting information.

She discovered that some previously inactive factions within the distillery seemed to be stirring recently, and that these factions all seemed to be backed by the same person, but the person's true identity could not be determined at present.

Vermouth knew all too well that in the brewery, a place rife with intrigue and betrayal, any carelessness could lead to her utter ruin.

Therefore, she acted with extreme caution, and every step was carefully considered.

She knew that this mastermind must be hiding very well, and finding him would require a great deal of patience and wisdom.

After discussing with Amuro Tooru, Hua Lao, and others, Cao Yu decided to take the initiative.

They couldn't sit idly by and wait for the distillery to launch another attack, nor could they simply passively wait for the mysterious man to appear.

They need to use the existing clues to investigate the distillery's next steps, while also figuring out the identity of the mysterious man and his relationship with the distillery.

Cao Yu recalled the mysterious man's sharp skills and mysterious aura when he appeared, and guessed that the mysterious man might have special abilities or backgrounds, just like himself.

And that badge with the wolf claw mark might be the key to unlocking the mystery man's identity.

Therefore, Cao Yu decided to start with the badges and launch an investigation using his connections and resources.

Cao Yu first contacted an expert who specializes in studying mysterious symbols and markings.

This expert has an excellent reputation in the field and has conducted in-depth research on the symbols and emblems of various mysterious organizations.

Cao Yu took the badge to the expert, who carefully examined the wolf claw mark on the badge and a serious expression appeared on his face.

After careful research and analysis, the experts told Cao Yu that the wolf claw mark was not an ordinary symbol; it seemed to come from an ancient and mysterious organization.

This organization has appeared many times in history, but each appearance has been accompanied by significant events.

Specific information about this organization is quite vague due to its age, but experts speculate that it may have a special mission and be intricately connected with dark forces.

Cao Yu felt a chill run down his spine; he realized that things were far more complicated than he had imagined.

What exactly is the relationship between this mysterious organization and the brewery? And why is this mysterious person helping him? He decides to tell Amuro Tooru and Elder Hana about this so they can discuss a solution together.

Chapter 86 plunged into deep thought.

After learning the news, Amuro Tooru fell into deep thought.

Having worked inside the distillery for many years, he knew all too well the many secrets and powerful forces hidden behind it.

The emergence of this mysterious organization may disrupt the existing balance and trigger an even greater crisis.

He believed they had to find out the identity of the mysterious man as soon as possible, and at the same time strengthen surveillance of the distillery to prevent them from launching another dangerous plot.

Mr. Hua said that they need more clues and information to unravel this mystery.

He decided to use his connections in the intelligence community to gather more information about this mysterious organization and the wolf claw mark.

At the same time, he reminded Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru to be careful, as the brewery would not let the matter rest and they could face new dangers at any time.

After meeting with Cao Yu, Conan told Cao Yu about the clues he had found in the black market and his suspicions.

After hearing this, Cao Yu became even more certain that there was some kind of connection between the mysterious person and himself.

He recounted to Conan in detail his encounter with the mysterious man and the expert's analysis of the wolf claw mark.

After hearing this, Conan fell into deep thought.

Conan believes that the mysterious man saving Cao Yu may not be a coincidence.

Perhaps the mysterious figure had been watching Cao Yu's struggle with the winery all along, and his intervention at a crucial moment was for his own purposes.

This purpose is likely related to the relationship between the mysterious organization and the distillery.

Conan advised Cao Yu to keep a close eye on the mysterious man's movements and strengthen his own defenses to avoid falling into the enemy's trap.

Meanwhile, after a difficult investigation, Vermouth finally discovered some important clues.

She discovered that the actions taken against Cao Yu within the distillery seemed to be related to a mysterious figure codenamed "Shadow."

"Shadow" holds a high position within the brewery, but he has always remained hidden behind the scenes, and few have ever seen his true face.

Based on some clues, Vermouth deduced that "Shadow" might be a representative of a certain faction within the brewery's upper echelons, and that he was trying to achieve some ulterior motive by eliminating Cao Yu.

Vermouth knew that to find out the true identity of "Shadow," she had to conduct a more in-depth investigation.

But this also means she will face greater danger, because since "Shadow" can hide so deeply inside the distillery, it must have powerful forces and methods.

However, Vermouth did not back down; she decided to continue her investigation and uncover the true identity of this mysterious figure.

As the investigation deepened, clues from all sides gradually intertwined, and an even bigger mystery began to surface.

Cao Yu, Amuro Tooru, Conan, and Vermouth, though on opposing sides, are all working hard to uncover the truth.

They all knew that time was of the essence, that the distillery's conspiracy might be underway, and that the identity and purpose of the mysterious man needed to be uncovered. An even more intense contest was about to begin.

Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru decide to return to the place where they met the mysterious man, in an attempt to find more clues about him.

They searched the area thoroughly, leaving no corner untouched.

Finally, on a hidden wall, they discovered some strange symbols.

These symbols seem to be related to the wolf claw marks, and Cao Yu guessed that they might be some kind of hint left by the mysterious person.

They photographed the symbols and then sought out the expert who studied the cryptic symbols again.

After careful study, experts told them that these symbols might be an ancient code that requires specific methods to decipher.

Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru were overjoyed, realizing that this might be the key to unlocking the mystery of the mysterious man's identity.

Meanwhile, through his reasoning and analysis, Conan discovers that there may be a subtle competitive relationship between the mysterious organization and the distillery.

The mysterious organization may not want the distillery's conspiracy to succeed, which is why it stepped in to help Cao Yu at the crucial moment.

However, this is only speculation and requires more evidence to confirm.

Chapter 87 Discussing Countermeasures

Vermouth's investigation inside the brewery has hit a roadblock. "Shadow" seems to have realized that someone is investigating him and has begun to be more careful in hiding his whereabouts.

Vermouth decides to take the risk of contacting a senior member of the brewery who has had some dealings with "Shadow" and might be able to provide some useful information.

In a secluded location, Vermouth met with this member.

The member was initially very wary of Vermouth's questions, but under Vermouth's coercion and enticement, he finally revealed some key information.

"Shadow" has been planning a scheme closely related to the distillery's new biological weapons experiments.

"Shadow" seems to want to use Cao Yu to sabotage the experiment, but the specific details are unclear to this member.

Vermouth was alarmed. She realized that the "Shadow 433" plan could bring huge trouble to the brewery and have unpredictable effects on the entire situation.

She decided to pass the message on to Cao Yu and the others. Although she was not on the same side as Cao Yu and the others, temporary cooperation might be necessary when facing a common enemy.

After receiving the message from Vermouth, Cao Yu discussed countermeasures with Amuro Tooru, Hua Lao, and Conan.

They realized that a deeper conspiracy was hidden behind the brewery's new biological weapons experiments, and the appearance of "Shadow" made the situation even more complicated.

They must unravel the mystery of the mysterious man's identity and discover the true purpose of "Shadow" in order to stop the winery and "Shadow's" conspiracy.

After some discussion, they decided to split into several groups.

Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru continue to study the mysterious symbols, attempting to decipher the code to obtain more information about the mysterious man; Conan uses his wisdom and connections to delve into the relationship between the mysterious organization and the distillery; Hua Lao is responsible for overall coordination, managing resources from all parties to ensure their operation proceeds smoothly; while Vermouth continues to search for "Shadow" within the distillery, gathering more intelligence about his plans.

During the intense investigation, Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru, after countless attempts and analyses, finally succeeded in deciphering the code hidden in the mysterious symbols.

The code points to a remote mountain area that seems to hold important clues related to a mysterious organization.

Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru decided to immediately head to the mountains to uncover the truth.

When they arrived in the mountains, they discovered that an ancient castle was hidden there.

The castle was gloomy and mysterious, with an eerie atmosphere permeating the surroundings.

They cautiously entered the castle and discovered that its interior was filled with various mechanisms and traps.

Deep within the castle, they discovered ancient documents and murals that detailed the history and mission of the mysterious organization.

It turns out that the mysterious organization is an ancient righteous organization whose mission is to protect world peace and tranquility and fight against all dark forces.

Throughout history, they have engaged in fierce battles with various evil organizations on numerous occasions.

And the winery is one of the targets they have been focusing on in recent years.

The mysterious man helped Cao Yu because he saw Cao Yu's determination and courage in fighting against the distillery, and hoped to use Cao Yu's strength to fight against the distillery together.

Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru suddenly understood; they finally realized the mysterious man's identity and purpose.

But they also know that this is only the first step in solving the mystery. Next, they need to find "Shadow" and stop his plot.

Just then, Conan sent word that he had discovered a crucial link between the mysterious organization and the distillery.

It turns out that the brewery's new biological weapon experiment was a scheme by "Shadow" to use the brewery's power to create massive chaos, thereby plunging the mysterious organization into trouble and allowing him to seize control of the entire dark world.

Chapter 88 Coordinating with External Actions

Cao Yu, Amuro Tooru, and Conan decide to immediately pass this information on to Hua Lao and Vermouth, and work together to develop a comprehensive plan to completely thwart the conspiracy of "Shadow" and the Blacksmith.

They knew full well that this would be a difficult and dangerous battle, but for the sake of world peace and tranquility, they were fully prepared to meet the coming challenge.

After learning of this information, Hua quickly contacted various forces and prepared to launch a full-scale counterattack against the winery and "Shadow".

He deployed his most elite agents, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at the crucial moment.

Vermouth was also actively working within the brewery. She used her intelligence and charm to win over some brewery members who were dissatisfied with "Shadow," preparing to create chaos internally in order to coordinate with external actions.

With everything in place, a thrilling final battle is about to begin.

Cao Yu, Amuro Tooru, Conan, Hua Lao, and Vermouth, along with their respective forces, form a tight net that gradually converges on the brewery and "Shadow".

They knew that this battle would determine the fate of the world, and they had to win, no matter the cost.

On the eve of the decisive battle, Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru checked their equipment and weapons one last time, their eyes filled with determination and resolve.

Conan mentally rehearsed various possible scenarios and devised countermeasures.

At the command center, Mr. Hua calmly allocated resources from all sides to ensure that every step of the operation was flawless.

Inside the brewery, Vermouth awaited the perfect moment to deliver the fatal blow to "Shadow".

As night fell, the operation officially began.

Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru led their agents like a sharp blade, piercing straight into the heart of the distillery.

They engaged in a fierce battle with the distillery's guards, advancing with unstoppable momentum thanks to their superb martial arts skills and indomitable will.

Conan, on the other hand, uses his intelligence to provide crucial intelligence and support for the battle ahead from the rear.

Inside the distillery, Vermouth orchestrated a series of events as planned.

She cleverly stirred up conflict among the distillery members, plunging the distillery into chaos.

"Shadow" sensed something was wrong and tried to organize a counterattack, but the distillery was already in chaos, and his orders could not be effectively carried out.

In the midst of a fierce battle, Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru finally found "Shadow".

"Shadow" stood in front of a huge experimental device, a sinister smile on his face.

He looked at Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru and said coldly, "Do you think you can stop me? It's all too late."
