Conan: Another Famous Detective

"I'd like to hear the details." Yu Gongming said he was all ears.

Belmode did not show off and said: "The first one is that the organization is forced to suspend all operations in Japan due to official pressure, and important members also leave Japan and go to European and American countries to temporarily avoid the limelight."

Hearing this, Hanemiya Akira raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Japan is the headquarters of the organization. Do they really have the courage to cut off a strong man's wrist?"

Belmode smiled: "In fact, after half a century of organization, it is not always smooth sailing. It has also encountered some setbacks and blows during the period. It is not unprecedented for the organization's top management to leave Japan to avoid the limelight."

Conan's expression changed slightly: "Stop all activities, the collective transfer of high-level officials is not a trivial matter. Has the current organization reached this level?"

"Very keen." Bellmore smiled: "Your previous actions, even though they have damaged the organization, have not yet endangered the fundamentals."

"But this raid on the archives, the force deployed by the police, and the high-ranking officials of the Metropolitan Police Department who immediately parachuted into Tottori, all sent a signal that the Japanese police had made up their minds to deal with the organization."

"But doesn't the organization have connections in both political and business circles?" Meng Yu puzzled: "The Japanese police are indeed not weak, but now they are just sending out a signal. Is it worthy of the organization to cut off the arms of a strong man?"

"You have overlooked one point." Akira Hanamiya took over the conversation: "The organization has connections in the political and business circles. So, does the Japanese police, a genuine official organization, have fewer connections than the organization?"

"Hmm!" Mengyu was startled and looked thoughtful.

Akira Hanomiya further explained; "It is not difficult to see from Director Baima's attitude that he has known about the existence of the organization for a long time, but he did not take action before. On the one hand, he may not have captured the key evidence, and he may also be worried about the organization's involvement behind the scenes. political and business interest groups.”

"And now, since Director Baima has changed his policy, he must have something to rely on."

"There will naturally be people at the top of the organization who will make the same judgment as you." Belmod said lightly: "That's why there is a probability of the first reaction I mentioned."

Kudo Yusaku frowned slightly when he heard this: "If the organization chooses such a response strategy, it will become a lot more troublesome to completely eliminate the organization."

"Indeed." Yu Gongming also agreed with this: "If we can't eradicate the root cause, given time, the organization will eventually make a comeback,"

Once the organization temporarily abandons its territory in Japan and moves abroad, it will not be so easy for them to continue tracing it.

In Japan, they can rely on the power of the Japanese police and their familiarity with Japan.

But when they go abroad and are unfamiliar with the place, they, a group of Asian faces, will inevitably have a lot of inconveniences in their actions. While the risks are increasing, it is still unclear how much results they can achieve.

At least Yu Gongming would not agree to everyone going abroad to investigate unless it was absolutely necessary.

He looked at Belmode: "How high do you think it is that the organization will choose this response?"

"It should not be as high as before." Belmode replied: "Today is different from the past. Back then, the organization did not have the foundation it has now. Both the power it possessed and the interests it involved were far less than they are now."

"At that time, it was physically painful to cut off a strong man's wrist, but it was not so difficult to accept psychologically."

"But now, the power held by the organization will greatly inflate their self-confidence, and the interests involved will also make it more difficult for them to make up their mind to cut off the chain of interests they have operated for so many years."

"In short, the cost of silence is too high, right?" Mengyu concluded.

"That's it." Belmode nodded slightly.

Yu Gongming's eyes flashed: "If the organization does not choose strong men to cut off their wrists, it means..."

"Yes." Belmod smiled: "That's what I said, the second reaction."

…………

In the countryside of Tottori Prefecture, in a luxurious European-style castle.

At the end of the corridor, the middle-aged housekeeper looked at the closed door in front of him and swallowed slowly.

He did not open the door immediately and go in as usual, but stood silently in front of the door for a long time.

"Still not coming in? Do you want me to invite you?" A cold, old voice sounded from the speaker on the door.

The middle-aged housekeeper's body suddenly trembled. He took a deep breath, finally raised his hand and pushed open the door.

When he entered the room, without saying a word, he immediately knelt down on his knees, buried his head on the ground, and said loudly: "This subordinate is not doing his job well, please punish me!"

There was no response from behind the high-backed chair, and there was only deathly silence in the whole room.

Seeing this, the middle-aged housekeeper didn't dare to move or continue talking. He just waited silently for the other party's response.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes...

There was still silence.

But the middle-aged housekeeper remained motionless, his body becoming more and more tense.

He could feel the gaze coming from someone, and even more, he could feel the premonition of danger coming from his instinct.

If he guessed correctly, there might have been more than one gun pointed at him at this time. Once he acted without permission, he would be immediately beaten into a sieve and died miserably on the spot!

The middle-aged housekeeper lowered his head, unable to truly confirm whether his judgment was accurate.

But he would never dare to gamble, and he could not gamble!

Even though he had been with that gentleman for many years and had made many achievements during this period, he was not someone who was nostalgic for an old relationship.

Look at Pisco and Rum. Once their existence causes losses to the organization that exceed their current value, that person will give them up without hesitation!

As for the losses he caused this time, the number of casualties among the operational personnel alone was close to a hundred, not to mention the series of impacts caused by this incident, which have not yet been fully fermented!

He had no idea what he would do to him after he made such a big deal out of him.

Now, all we can do is correct our attitude and let nature take its course.

As the middle-aged housekeeper's thoughts surged, time passed by little by little.

Until two hours later.

"Get up." The old voice sounded faintly.

"...Yes." The middle-aged housekeeper agreed in a low voice and stood up unsteadily.

Kneeling for two hours was nothing to a well-trained old agent like the middle-aged butler, and he was not as embarrassed as he appeared.

But if he stood up like a normal person, wouldn't it make the previous [punishment] seem painless?

If this person is unhappy and he is given harsh information, it is hard to say whether he will be able to walk out intact.

After the middle-aged housekeeper stood up, he still lowered his head and did not speak rashly, waiting for the old voice to give instructions.

After another period of silence, the old voice spoke: "Tell me everything about this operation, without hiding anything!"

"Yes! I understand!" The middle-aged butler responded respectfully. He already had an idea in mind about this and immediately began to describe it.
