Conan: Another Famous Detective

The next day, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Office of the Chief of Criminal Investigation.

"This is the report on yesterday's incident at the Cupido Hotel. Please take a look at it." Heitan placed a document on Odagiri Toshiro's desk.

Criminal Affairs Minister Odagiri Toshiro nodded slightly, picked up the document, and read it silently.

Kuroda didn't disturb him and just stood there quietly.

About ten minutes later.

Odagiri Toshiro put down the document and said, "Who do you think the person who called the police is?"

"It should be a member codenamed Belmod or her accomplice." Kuroda replied without much thought: "The main purpose of the black organization's dispatch this time is to catch her, and she has every motive to do so."

"But isn't she a core member of the organization?" Odagiri Toshiro asked.

Kuroda replied: "According to the informant's information, it was because Belmode ignored the organization's orders and clashed with Black Sakura without permission, causing a lot of trouble to Black Sakura."

"As for the cause of the conflict between Belmod and Black Sakura, after analysis, the most likely reason is the Morikawa Pharmaceutical incident some time ago."

"Morikawa Pharmaceutical?" Odagiri Toshiro recalled for a while, and information about this incident gradually emerged in his mind.

In short, the police raided a Black Sakura stronghold disguised as a pharmaceutical company called Morikawa Pharmaceuticals and arrested a large number of Black Sakura members.

In that incident, a third-party force was involved. Police intelligence analysts believed that the purpose of that group was to rescue Belmode, the top executive of the black organization who was secretly arrested by Black Sakura.

So the police concluded that the group should belong to the black organization.

Thinking of this, Odagiri Toshiro slowly folded his hands and looked at Kuroda deeply: "It seems that our judgment of that incident at that time seemed to be somewhat wrong!"

Kuroda immediately understood what Odagiri meant, and nodded: "Yes, if the organization rescued Belmode, then that incident would be tantamount to breaking up with Kuro Sakura."

"Logically speaking, their reaction to Belmod's trouble in finding Black Sakura should not be so violent, and they would even hesitate to join forces with Black Sakura."

"It can be inferred from this that the organization seems to have lost control of Belmode."

Odagiri Toshiro frowned slightly, was silent for a while, and said, "Maybe this is another opportunity?"

"Please give me your instructions." Kuroda lowered his head slightly and said, although he also had some ideas, this kind of thing still needs to be decided by the leader.

Odagiri Toshiro tapped the table lightly and said calmly: "Tell me, can we get in touch with Belmod and get information about Black Sakura and even the black organization from her?"

Kuroda also had similar thoughts in his heart, and after pondering for a while, he replied: "It is indeed worth a try, but now Belmod's whereabouts are unknown, so it may take some time."

Odagiri waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. It's just a casual move. It's best to get something. It doesn't matter if you don't."

"My subordinate understands." Kuroda nodded.

Odagiri hummed: "Then the rest of the work will be hard on you."

"Yes! Then I won't disturb your work. I'll take my leave." Kuroda bowed slightly and exited the office.

The next step is nothing more than to use the intelligence provided by the captured members of the organization to attack the organization.

Kuroda is already very proficient in this kind of process, so he just needs to arrange it step by step.

However, he had no hope of achieving any major results. The organization was now as slippery as a loach, and its contacts were even more secretive. Even if he asked for information, it would probably be empty by the time the police arrived.

He even heard from Toru Amuro that some peripheral members were allowed by the organization to reveal some information, but they had to insist on it for at least one day. As long as they persisted for one day, the organization guaranteed not to silence them even if they disclosed the information.

This surprised Kuroda. He did not expect that an organization that had always been decisive in killing would formulate such a flexible policy.

It seems that the organization has indeed been damaged.

Thinking of this, Kuroda cheered up, returned to his office, and began to arrange the next work.

…………

In the study room of a certain villa.

Keel and Bourbon stood with their hands hanging, and Keel was reporting the status of the operation to the middle-aged butler in front of him.

"I didn't expect that Belmode would use the power of the police to deal with us. If it weren't for Bourbon's help, we might have been wiped out by the police!"

Kil finally said.

On the one hand, her words were to further reduce her fault, and at the same time, she had discussed it with Bourbon in advance.

As a temporary helper, Toru Amuro certainly cannot bear the responsibility for the failure of the operation.

Therefore, he and Keir made it clear in advance that Keir would have to clarify his identity as a temporary helper and his role in "turning the tide" when the situation worsened.

The middle-aged housekeeper listened to Keir's account expressionlessly and said coldly: "Even if the police intervene, it will take nearly half an hour from the time you take action to the time the police arrive."

"In order not to alert the enemy, the police initially only made secret arrangements, but you, more than a dozen people, have been unable to catch a single Belmod who has taken off his disguise for such a long time?"

"What's even more ridiculous is that as the person in charge of the operation, Kil, you were actually able to be attacked by her, and even impersonated, so that she could trick your people around!"

His eyes became sharper: "Kiel, this time it was you who took the initiative to ask me to give you the task. No matter what excuse you have, your performance is too disappointing!"

"It's because my subordinates are incompetent!" Kil lowered his head and said.

"Hmph! If you admit that you are incompetent, can you catch Belmod back?" the middle-aged housekeeper sneered.

Keir stopped talking. It was hard to answer this!

"This matter cannot be entirely blamed on Kiel." Amuro smoothed things over: "From this operation, it is not difficult to see that Belmod has an accomplice, and the accomplice is probably not an ordinary person."

"Kiel and the others did not dare to be too public at the time, and her decision-making was not a big deal. I think you also know how terrifying Belmod is with his accomplices."

The middle-aged butler glanced at Bourbon, frowned, and finally decided not to get angry at Bourbon.

Bourbon had nothing to do with this mission in the first place, but it just happened to happen. If it hadn't been for him, the organization would have suffered more than this loss.

No matter how you calculate it, bourbon has merits and no faults.

Taking a deep breath, he looked at Keir again: "Failure is failure. In this case, you must accept punishment!"

After a pause, he said: "I think you have lost the ability to lead the team independently. From now on, you will follow Bourbon, listen to his command, and make up for your mistakes. Is there any problem?"

: "Yes! Everything is up to you!" Keir responded immediately, and she had no right to refuse.

The middle-aged butler looked at Bourbon again: "Well, Bourbon, since you have already participated, the task of capturing Belmode will be left to you."
