Conan: Another Famous Detective

After a while, Matsumoto Kiyonaga left the office to complete the tasks assigned by Director Hakuba.

In the director's office, Director Baima tapped his right hand rhythmically on the table. After pondering for a long time, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Hello! Boss?" Ying Yi's voice came from the other side.

"How was your rest?"

"Ha! It's okay, but you called me, boss. No matter if you have a good rest or not, you still have to do the work you should do!" Ying Yi replied with self-mockery.

Director Baima chuckled: "Don't worry, this job won't be too troublesome."

"You said it." Ying Yi's attitude was very straightforward.

Director Hakuba informed Kageichi about the Toyokawa case.

Finally, Director Baima began to arrange the task: "What you have to do is to verify the authenticity of these materials on the one hand, and at the same time use these materials as a breakthrough point to dig out other intelligence as much as possible."

After listening to the narration, Yingdu suddenly clicked his tongue: "Boss, did you agree not to bother me? You are an arms dealer, a high-ranking government official, and a member of the US military. You are not a good person in any of them!"

"But I don't want you to start the investigation from scratch." Director Baima said with a smile: "We have a lot of materials in our hands now, and many of the contents are accurate to the specific time and person. It is not difficult to investigate."

"...Okay, you can leave the information in the same place and I'll have someone pick it up." Ying Yi said with a slightly helpless tone.

"Okay!" Director Baima responded readily.

After a pause, he said again: "By the way, would you like to confirm whether the Hanomiya detective is related to this matter?"

The person on the other side was silent for a while and then replied: "Judging from your description, he probably just got involved by chance."

"But there are indeed too many coincidences in the whole thing, so I can't help but be cautious." Director Baima said calmly.

After a pause, his voice slowed down slightly: "Don't worry, I naturally don't have any ill intentions towards him, otherwise I wouldn't let you confirm this matter."

"...I know, I will investigate clearly." Ying Yi calmly replied.

Later, after confirming that Director Baima had no other instructions, the communication was hung up.

Director Baima took back his phone and couldn't help but exclaimed: "What an unexpected surprise this time!"

…………

Yu Gongzhai, Mengyu's room.

"How is the situation?" Yu Gongming finally couldn't help it and asked.

"The disc has been opened at the Metropolitan Police Department," Mengyu lightly tapped the keyboard and responded without looking back.

When Yu Gongming heard this, his expression suddenly softened: "Fortunately, it seems that the plan is going well!"

"But you're quite ruthless!" Mouri Kogoro looked at Hanomiya Akira with a subtle look: "The original plan was just to hit the seats symbolically to scare them, but you'd better just hit Feng on the seats. Chuan was injured!"

Yu Gongming smiled: "I thought about it later. It seemed too fake that we seemed to be planning carefully, but in the end the bullets didn't even hit anyone."

"That's why I finally changed to hitting the shoulder. Officer Sato reacted very quickly at the time. The [killer] missed the vital point in his haste, which makes perfect sense."

"Besides, if Toyokawa didn't really feel that his life was in danger, he probably wouldn't cooperate with the police obediently."

"Yeah... yes." Mouri Kogoro had to admit that Hanamiya Akira's handling was indeed safer.

"This matter has already been in the news." Conan swiped his phone and browsed the latest news.

The news was about that attack.

"Police sources revealed that this attack was a vendetta." Conan said calmly.

"Ha! It seems that the excuse of being a gangster has been used too much recently, so I changed the explanation this time." Hanemiya Akira said with a smile.

Mouri Kogoro came over to take a look at the news and said, "It seems that the police have pointed their suspicion at the group behind Toyokawa."

"If they haven't decided on a direction yet, they won't directly use such perfunctory excuses to prevaricate the media."

Meng Yu blinked: "It means that they think they can't tell the truth when this matter is finally found out. Why don't they just give an explanation now to highlight the efficiency of the police?"

"It's pretty much the same." Mouri Kogoro nodded.

At this time, Mouri Kogoro's cell phone rang.

He glanced down at the number, his face changed slightly, and he said solemnly: "I'm going out to take a call, please keep quiet for now!"

When Hanemiya Akira and Kudo brother and sister heard this, they were startled at first, then their expressions changed and they immediately stopped talking.

Mouri Kogoro quickly walked out of the room and answered the phone.

"Hey! It's me." Ying Yi's voice came from the other side.

"Is there another mission?" Mouri Kogoro asked directly.

ten minutes later.

Mouri Kogoro returned to the room.

After Hanemiya Akira and Kudo brother and sister looked at each other, they tacitly agreed not to ask about the content of the call, although they were both very curious.

They didn't ask, but Mouri Kogoro took the initiative to speak: "This phone call has something to do with us."

"Oh?" Akira Hanomiya raised his eyebrows slightly: "Could it be that the director arranged for the [Shadows] to investigate the intelligence of the group behind Toyokawa?"

"Yes." Mouri Kogoro confirmed Hanomiya Akira's guess: "But my situation is special. The above means that there is no need to deliberately investigate. It's best to have clues. It doesn't matter if there are none."

"The more important thing is another thing - the director wants to confirm whether there is a deep connection between you and Toyokawa's case."

"Me?" Yu Gongming was startled, then narrowed his eyes slightly: "Which identity is it specifically?"

Mouri Kogoro naturally understood what Hanomiya Akira meant, and immediately replied: "It's the famous detective Hanomiya Akira."

After a pause, he added: "Toyokawa's arrest has something to do with you. The director should have realized that there is something fishy."

"Then this task is specifically given to you, uncle, or is it?" Conan asked with a frown.

Mouri Kogoro was silent for two seconds and replied, "It should be left to me alone."

"Interesting..." Yu Gongming's eyes flashed slightly: "Is it simply that my uncle has a good personal relationship with us, so it is convenient for investigation?"

He asked, looking at Mouri Kogoro.

Mouri Kogoro was silent again, and his expression became a little subtle, as if he was hesitating about something.

Yu Gongming naturally noticed the change in his expression, but did not make a sound and just continued to look at him.

After a long time, Mouri Kogoro finally spoke: "The director just informed the person in charge of [Shadow], Kageichi, about this task. Kageichi is actually responsible for the specific task arrangements."

"In other words, it is Kageichi's intention to ask you to investigate?" Akira Hanamiya immediately understood the implication of Mouri Kogoro's words.

"Yes." Mouri Kogoro nodded.

After a pause, he continued: "Actually, I don't need to do anything for this task. I just need to report it after a period of time. You just happened to be involved in the incident."

"And this conclusion will be reported to the director intact."

"Huh?" Yu Gongming was startled when he heard this, and then looked thoughtful.
