Conan: Another Famous Detective

The depressing atmosphere made the middle-aged housekeeper more and more nervous, and cold sweat gradually broke out on his forehead.

After a long time, the old voice spoke again: "Your speculation... is not completely impossible. It does seem like something she can do."

The middle-aged housekeeper was slightly relieved when he heard this.

"But..." the old voice changed the topic: "With her character, if she only came into contact with those people because of the Black Sakura incident, even if she agreed to help them deal with Black Sakura, it shouldn't be in this form."

"Without my order, she would be very reluctant to act with anyone else in the organization, let alone someone she might meet by chance and whose origins are unknown."

"If she didn't have a certain foundation of trust before, she wouldn't easily cooperate with others."

"Then what you're saying is that maybe it was a coincidence that those guys discovered Belmod, but it doesn't mean that they and Belmod have known each other before?"

"Yeah." The old voice responded.

The middle-aged housekeeper fell into deep thought, and the inference in the old voice was indeed worthy of consideration.

Although his judgment is logically more in line with common sense, things about Belmode cannot be completely judged by common sense.

What's more, the person in front of him can be said to be the person who knows Belmode best in the organization, and his judgment is of great reference value.

The middle-aged housekeeper considered this and said, "If they have known each other before, it may not be so easy to determine the specific time and opportunity!"

"You also know that Belmod has always been a mystic. Except for missions, her whereabouts are very erratic at other times. I'm afraid... only a handful of people in the organization can grasp her specific movements."

He originally wanted to say that there was none, but considering the face of the person in front of him, he changed his words.

The old voice tapped the armrest of the high-backed chair with his fingers. After a moment of silence, he said, "Some time ago, under my instruction, Belmod went to investigate the Black Sakura."

"You mean, she came into contact with that group of people during that period?" the middle-aged housekeeper speculated. ,

"Well, what do you think about this?" the old voice asked.

The middle-aged housekeeper's eyes flickered slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Huh?" The old voice expressed his doubts when the middle-aged housekeeper didn't reply for a long time.

"Sir, I have a guess. I don't know whether to talk about it or not." The middle-aged housekeeper said hesitantly.

"You have been with me for many years. I believe in your loyalty and ability. There is no need to hide it." The old voice was slightly gentle.

"Yes!" The middle-aged butler nodded slightly and said carefully, "Those mysterious people who cooperate with Belmode, apart from targeting Black Sakura, may not be hostile to us."

After a pause, he continued: "The last time they took Bellmore away, the conflict between us and Black Sakura further expanded, causing us a lot of losses."

"This time they helped Belmode escape capture. If Bourbon hadn't taken action, our losses would not have been small."

"What's even more concerning is that they relied on the police twice. The first time it was a chance encounter, but this time they notified the police directly. What they did went far beyond helping. The category that Belmode escaped from.”

"In any case, Belmode is the top leader of the organization. They cooperate with Belmode, so logically they shouldn't do things so absolutely."

"So, I think that apart from targeting Black Sakura, they are definitely not friendly to us, and..."

The middle-aged housekeeper paused again, and his tone became more cautious: "This method of using the police is actually not common in the underground world. Every family has a tacit understanding to alert the police. It will be no good to anyone if the matter gets serious."

After all, everyone's butts are dirty, and it's hard for each other to ensure that the other party doesn't arrange undercover agents on their side.

You use the power of the police to attack your opponent today, and your opponent can do the same thing tomorrow. In the end, no one will have an easy time.

"Do you suspect it's them?" The old voice suddenly turned cold.

The middle-aged housekeeper didn't say it clearly, but his meaning was already obvious.

Their organization has been in a very embarrassing situation recently by the police and public security. Although the police and public security are hateful, they will not forget those [mysterious forces] that have never been traced!

Using the power of the police and fishing in troubled waters is exactly their usual method!

"Yes, I do have doubts." The middle-aged housekeeper replied.

The old voice fell silent again, and the middle-aged housekeeper once again felt an oppressive aura.

He understood that the person in front of him already understood what he was asking about before.

If what he had just speculated was true, then Belmode had reached a cooperation with a guy who was almost to the detriment of the organization and could be said to be incompatible with each other.

And there are various signs that she trusts this group of people even more than the organization!

Upon further examination, the previous group of [mysterious forces] had demonstrated extremely powerful intelligence capabilities, and they seemed to be able to master a lot of information that could even be called top secret.

This is almost certainly a mole, and a mole with a high status!

Not only Rum, he had also been secretly investigating the organization, trying to find this mole.

He had doubts about Bourbon, Keel, and even Rum, but he ruled them out one by one.

Kiel's status is not high enough to allow him to have access to real secrets.

Although Bourbon's status is higher than Kiel's, he is still some distance away from the real core level, and some actions that were sabotaged by mysterious forces are deliberately guarded against him by the organization, so it is impossible to know the inside story in advance.

He had never let go of Rum's suspicion, but Rum's qualifications were even older than his, and his status in the organization was not lower than his. It was already difficult for him to investigate Rum.

Therefore, he has always been just suspicious, without finding any evidence, and even the relevant clues are very few!

Until Rum was arrested, he wondered if Rum had taken this opportunity to escape.

But the police response after Rum's arrest made him change his mind.

If Rum had betrayed him a long time ago and went to the police, there would be no reason to hide anything for the organization and he would definitely tell all the information he had.

With the information Rum has, the police can almost deal a devastating blow to the organization!

However, although the police's offensive was fierce, it can be seen from some transfer orders that the intelligence held by the police was still not accurate enough and did not seem to be written by Rum.

When they rescued Rum later, the police were very resolute in protecting Rum. It didn't look like they wanted Rum to return to the organization, so it was unlikely that the police deliberately let him go.

After Rum's suspicion was narrowed, the investigation of the middle-aged housekeeper reached a deadlock.

But this time, he finally turned his suspicious eyes to the one he had ignored before intentionally or unintentionally...Belmode!
