Conan: Another Famous Detective

Belmode nodded slightly and said, "During my investigation, I found that it was not just me, but others seemed to be eyeing the archives."

Yu Gongming thought it was a coincidence, but asked calmly: "How can you see it?"

"I arrived at the place where the organization dealt with the former archives management personnel. It was a barren mountain. There were obvious signs of being turned over in several places. You should know what this means."

"Yes." Both of them nodded. It was not difficult to guess that it was nothing more than burying the body and destroying the traces.

"I dug up the mounds one after another and found bodies in almost all the mounds, with one exception."

"There are many possibilities for this situation, right?" Meng Yu interjected: "For example, before the organization, other people came here and happened to disturb the soil, or the organization's people dug halfway and found that it was not suitable for burying the body, so they changed it. Got a place.”

"I have naturally thought of these possibilities." Belmode smiled: "So I further explored the land and found that the depth and area of ​​the excavations there were no different from other burial sites."

Yu Gongming rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "This does not seem to be the work of a third party, and it basically excludes that the location was the result of exploratory excavation."

Since we can dig enough to bury the body, why is there any need to change the location? Why not just throw the body in?

"And when I searched around, I found other subtle traces that had been deliberately cleaned. According to my judgment, those traces were not left by people from the organization."

"Someone took the body away? Why?" Mengyu asked in surprise.

"It's hard to say whether it's a corpse or not!" Yu Gongming said thoughtfully.

Belmod nodded slightly: "No matter what the situation is, there is no doubt that that group of mysterious people must have gained something by moving the [corpse], and their purpose is naturally obvious."

"Indeed, being able to follow the organization all the way to the burial site must have been premeditated, and the target could only be the secret archives!" Yu Gongming also agreed with this.

"That's why I came to you." Bellmode replied: "If there are other people eyeing that archives, I alone may not be able to control the situation."

"And you still doubt whether that group of mysterious people are related to us, right?" Yu Gongming said with a smile.

"So what's your answer?" Belmode asked with an unchanged expression.

"No." Yu Gongming shook his head: "But we do know the composition of that group of people."

"Oh?" Belmod immediately cast a questioning look.

"Black Sakura." Yu Gongming said this word lightly.

Belmode's expression suddenly changed, and then he frowned: "It's actually them? Are you sure?"

"It's impossible to be 100% sure." Akira Hanomiya replied: "We only know that Black Sakura has found relevant information in the archives, and is currently secretly mobilizing manpower to prepare for targeted actions."

"Therefore, we have reason to suspect that taking away the [body] is most likely part of Black Sakura's effort to obtain information or some kind of preparation."

Belmode still frowned: "It's strange, when did Black Sakura infiltrate the organization to this extent?"

"You and Black Sakura must be old rivals, right?" Meng Yu blinked and asked curiously.

"You can't even call it an old rival." Belmode replied: "Since the organization was established in the decades since its establishment, it has dealt with more or less various underground forces, and Black Sakura is no exception."

"There were naturally some frictions during this period, but they were just minor conflicts. Most of the time, it was still a state of affairs."

"Is that so..." Yu Gongming nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "Then what are your thoughts now? Should you stay put and choose another opportunity, or should you take a risk and try to seize the prize from the chaos?"

Belmod shrugged slightly: "Since I have come to see you, I have already made a decision. If I miss this opportunity, it will not be so easy to lock the location of the archives."

"Okay, since you are interested, we naturally don't mind having one more [insider] help." Hanemiya Ming said with a smile.

"So are you happy to cooperate?" Belmod smiled and extended his hand.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Yu Gongming reached out and shook her hand.

"Have you determined the specific time for Black Sakura to take action?" Belmode asked.

"Not yet." Yu Gongming shook his head: "I can only roughly know that we will start within a week."

"Understood, let me know when you confirm the time. Just call the number I left for you." Belmode said, then stood up, as if ready to leave.

"Stay." Yu Gongming also stood up and raised his hand to stop Belmode.

"What? Do you want to keep me here overnight?" Belmode asked with a smile.

"We need to arrange your food, clothing, housing and transportation these days." Yu Gongming said calmly.

Belmode was startled, then looked at him with some amusement: "What? You don't believe me?"

Yu Gongming chuckled: "You should understand the importance of this archive to us. Since you already know part of the information, let me let you go. Who knows if you will have any accidents this week?"

"Don't worry, the environment of the place we arranged will not be bad. Apart from not being able to go out, we will try our best to meet your needs. After this operation is over, we won't bother to bother you."

"You are really cautious!" Belmode looked at him jokingly: "What if I don't agree?"

"Then the cooperation is cancelled!" Yu Gongming said unconcernedly: "As for tonight, it is an exchange of information between the two of us, and we don't owe each other anything."

"If there is a conflict at that time, everyone will have to rely on their own abilities."

Belmod gently shook his finger, with a half-smiling look on his face: "Oh my! I'm a little embarrassed to refuse you!"

Yu Gongming didn't speak, just looked at her calmly.

Seeing this, Belmod also put away his smile slightly, and said in a rare serious tone: "Okay, I can promise you that I will listen to your arrangements until the end of the operation."

She then returned to her unpredictable smile: "Of course, don't take the opportunity to make any excessive demands!"

"Don't worry." Yu Gongming ignored Belmode's slightly teasing tone and said calmly: "You can completely trust us in this regard."

Belmode nodded slightly. From the perspective of collaborators, the character of Hanomiya Akira and the others was quite guaranteed.

"What about tonight? Where do you plan to let me live?" Belmod asked.

"There is a guest room. You can sleep there temporarily tonight. We will arrange another place for you tomorrow." Yu Gongming said calmly.

"No problem!" Belmod agreed readily.
