Conan: Above force, everything is truth!

Beika-cho 5-chome

Downstairs of the Mori Detective Agency.

A black luxury car stopped opposite the Polo Coffee Shop.

The one-eyed man in the back seat looked out the window at the coffee shop and the detective agency, his eyes fixed on it.

He remembered that Bourbon seemed to have mentioned that he worked in this coffee shop.

And the purpose of his working here seemed to be related to that Mori Kogoro.

He should have chosen to work here to get close to that detective.

Thinking of this, Rum looked up at the sign of "Famous Detective Mori Kogoro" with a gleam in his eyes.

He had also heard of this Mori Kogoro, who was a very famous detective recently and helped the police solve many difficult cases.

But... he always felt something was wrong.

At least, with Bourbon's personality and ability, he would not invest a lot of time in a "meaningless" thing.

Bourbon was one of the few intelligence experts in the organization, and his ability to collect and investigate intelligence was extremely excellent.

Not to mention "that gentleman", even Rum himself values ​​Bourbon's ability in this area.

Why would such a Bourbon personally investigate an ordinary detective?

With his ability, it would take less than a few days to collect information about this "famous detective", and he didn't even need to "undercover investigate" in person.

But he chose to lurk around this famous detective for a long time...

Could it be that this famous detective Maori Kogoro has an unknown secret?

And it's a secret that can impress an "intelligence expert"!

Rum looked down at the armrest beside him, and fell into memories and contemplation.

Speaking of which, even Gin, who "never failed", had failed repeatedly in Tokyo before, and suffered many losses at the hands of a mysterious man and the FBI.

Although his relationship with Gin was not good, he knew Gin's strength very well.

If even he couldn't complete a task, then there would be no one in the organization who could complete it.

That's why, although he had failed so many times before, he was still trusted by 'that adult'.

If anyone could compete with Rum for the position of 'second in command of the organization', Gin would probably be the only one who was qualified.

The reason why that adult called him back must be that he wanted him to work together with Gin.

After all, the day when the 'results' arrive is not far away...

Next, he might have to stay in Tokyo for a long time.

Thinking of this, Rum turned his head and saw the sushi restaurant next to the cafe.

The sign at the door of the sushi restaurant reads - 'Recruiting professional sushi chefs and employees'.

Rum stared at the sign for a few seconds, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

...

A few days later

Tatsuno and others gathered in the newly opened Iroha Sushi Restaurant downstairs of the Maori Detective Agency.

Although Maori Kogoro and Conan have been following Inspector Megure to investigate the murder of the three kidnappers in the past two days, they have not been able to find a breakthrough.

Due to insufficient evidence and clues, and the small social impact of this case.

In addition, Inspector Megure revealed that there seemed to be some changes in the leadership of their Investigation Division 1 recently.

Therefore, the Investigation Division 1 temporarily has no spare energy to invest a large number of police forces in this case.

The "priority" of this case has also dropped a lot.

The only thing that comforted Maori Kogoro and Xiaolan was that the man who hijacked the escort vehicle was not the companion of the three kidnappers.

In other words, there will be no safety problems for Eri Kisaki, and there is no need to worry about the "revenge" of the three kidnappers after they are released from prison.

"By the way, are there only a few of us customers in this store?" After sitting down, Maori Kogoro looked around the empty tables and complained.

"Dad, your voice is too loud!" Xiaolan looked at the staff in the store embarrassedly.

At this time, a clerk wearing a white eye mask came over and served tea to Tatsuno and others.

"Don't say such negative things~ Mr. Guest, wouldn't it be better if you treat this as a private reservation~"

Mouri Kogoro smiled and said, "That's right, then bring a glass of draft beer first, and then four portions of special sushi! By the way, one portion is for this kid, without wasabi!"

"Okay! A glass of draft beer, four portions of special sushi! One portion without wasabi!" The one-eyed clerk repeated Mouri Kogoro's order loudly while walking towards the kitchen.

Tatsuno looked at the clerk's back, raised his eyebrows, then smiled slightly, picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip.

Unexpectedly, we met so soon... Rum~

But speaking of it... Why did Rum choose to work in this sushi restaurant not far from the Mouri Detective Agency?

Was it just to monitor Amuro Toru next to him?

...

Soon after, the one-eyed shopThe waiter brought the draft beer ordered by Maori Kogoro to the table.

"By the way, the customer should be 'Mr. Sleeping Kogoro', right? You brought your family here today to eat special sushi. Did something good happen?"

"Ah?" Maori Kogoro was stunned.

"Sorry, sorry, it's mainly because I often see you on TV, and I was a little excited for a while!" The one-eyed waiter laughed.

After coming to his senses, Maori Kogoro scratched his head, "Actually, nothing good happened..."

"My name is Wakita Kensuke, I'm a chef, and I just joined this sushi restaurant two days ago~"

"Is, is that so..."

Maori Kogoro blinked, not understanding why the waiter in front of him suddenly started to introduce himself.

"I can never settle down in one place. After many twists and turns, I came to this sushi restaurant, which is the so-called wandering chef!"

"Oh, is that so." Maori Kogoro narrowed his eyes.

"I wanted to help in the kitchen, but the boss said it was too dangerous for me to hold a kitchen knife with one eye, so he asked me to take charge of receiving guests until my left eye heals. Mr. Maori, if you have any requests, just tell me at any time~"

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Maori Kogoro laughed dryly.

Conan, who was standing aside, frowned suddenly after hearing this and glanced at Tatsuno across from him.

Wait!

So, Takeda had told him before that the second-in-command of that organization, Rum, seemed to be the one-eyed one...

Thinking of this, Conan looked up without saying anything and asked, "Uncle~ May I ask how your left eye got injured?"

"Ah? Oh... It's not an injury, but actually I have a big lump on my left eye~ By the way, do you want to see it?" Wakita Kanenori smiled and touched his eye patch.

"No, no!" Conan and Maori Kogoro waved their hands quickly.

They don't want to watch something that affects their appetite before eating...

Conan rolled his eyes at himself, shook his head helplessly, and threw away this suspicious mentality from his mind.

Is he a little too fussy?

How could this ordinary chef uncle in front of him, who looked to be in his 50s or 60s, be a member of that organization?

Not to mention Rum, the second in command of the organization...

Has his suspicion become so serious now?
