Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 9: Peeling off the cocoon

The two of them returned to Kudo's house peacefully.

"Hanomiya, the key should be in my coat, please help open the door." Kudo Shinichi looked up at the door lock that he could barely reach by jumping up, and said helplessly.

"Well, let me look for it..." Yu Gongming rummaged through the bag that originally contained children's clothes.

This bag contained the clothes that Kudo Shinichi wore before he became a child. Naturally, it was not suitable for Xiaolan to see, so he naturally gave it to Hanemiya Akira.

Opening the door, the two entered Kudo's house.

"Ah, I'm so envious. Not only is this a single-family apartment, but the interior furnishings and decoration are of a very high quality." Yu Gongming looked around and couldn't help but sigh.

"My father is a world-famous mystery novelist after all, so he still has some money... What would you like to drink?" Kudo Shinichi replied casually, but he did not forget the basics of hospitality.

"Just boiled water."

Kudo Shinichi poured a cup of boiled water for Hamamiya Akira and brewed himself a cup of coffee. The two sat on the sofa, speechless for a while.

"Hanomiya, what do you think of those two men in black?" Kudo Shinichi was the first to break the silence.

"According to your description on the way back, generally speaking, when you came out of the public toilet, you saw one of the suspicious-looking men in black, then followed him, witnessed their illegal transactions, and was finally killed by another man in black. Knock him out and drink poison. That's the process."

"Well, that's right. According to what I overheard, the man in black should have obtained evidence of gun smuggling by a certain company and used it for extortion." Kudo Shinichi added.

"I won't tell you my opinion first. I want to know, what are you going to do now?" Yu Gongming said.

"I plan to go to Dr. A Li first... Oh, Dr. A Li is my neighbor and a very powerful inventor. I plan to go to him first to see if he can develop an antidote. If not, then I Just contact the police through him, track down the two men in black, destroy the organization behind them, find the antidote, and return to high school."

"If this is a small gang of ordinary street gangsters, Kudo's operation is indeed feasible...but the group of people in the winery are not comparable to street gangsters..."

Akira Hanomiya considered his words and said, "Kudo, I'm afraid that if you do this, not only will it fail to achieve the desired effect, but it may also put your life, and even that of Dr. Agasa, in danger!"

"Huh? What should I say?" Kudo Shinichi sat up slightly, his eyes confused, but he looked at Hanemiya Akira solemnly.

"First of all, judging from your previous description, they had guns and originally wanted to shoot you, but then they gave you poison, right?"

"Well, that's right, before I lost consciousness, I heard the tall, lanky man in black saying that this kind of poison could not be detected from the autopsy." Kudo Shinichi.

"Then, from this detail, we can see that these two men in black are extraordinary." Yu Gongming paused and continued:

"After the illegal transaction was discovered, I didn't hesitate at all. I immediately thought of murder and silence, and I was able to calmly choose a method that would not attract too much attention from the police. This kind of calmness is definitely not what ordinary street gangsters can have. I'm afraid, This is not the first time they have killed someone."

"Indeed, looking back now, those two men in black were indeed too calm and decisive in killing people." Kudo Shinichi agreed.

Yu Gongming continued: "If you consider that this is not the first time they have killed people, you will find that not only did they come to the amusement park in a swaggering way, but they also wore very suspicious clothes, and their faces were not disguised in any way. , if they have killed people before, are they too brave?"

"Indeed..." Kudo Shinichi also followed Hanomiya Akira's thinking: "They dare to be so blatant. Rather than believing that they are fools, it is better to say that they are confident. Even if they have killed people before, they are probably not included in the list. Within the scope of the police's suspicion, even those who died may be presumed to be accidents and the case closed..."

Akira Hanomiya took over Kudo Shinichi's words: "No matter which possibility it is, it can only mean that either the two men in black are smart enough to kill, or they have deep backgrounds that can affect the police investigation, Kudo, You have dealt with the police a lot, and you should know that not all police officers are just people."

"Huh...yeah, not everyone has as much sense of justice as Officer Megure..." Kudo Shinichi responded in a low tone.

"Now, we have concluded that these two men in black are by no means simple inferences. Let's continue the analysis." Yu Gongming continued:

"During the entire process of your being attacked, the drug that made you smaller also revealed a lot of information. From the statement of the man in black, we can know that this drug cannot be detected from the corpse. Judging from the actual effect, it makes you smaller. You’re getting smaller.”

"No matter which effect it has, it shows that this is definitely not a poison known on the market."

"Wait, you mean..." Kudo Shinichi's pupils shrank, and his face became more solemn as he looked at Hanemiya Akira.

"Yes, this drug was obviously specially developed by the organization behind the man in black. I think it is not difficult for you to guess what is needed to develop such a drug with effects beyond common sense." Hanemiya Mingdao.

"One, or even several drug research institutes, a large number of scientific researchers, and the means to hide it from official institutions..." Kudo Shinichi added in a heavy tone.

"Also, they can get evidence of gun smuggling in that company. Either they have spies with a high status in that company, or they have informants in the underground underworld."

"If you are a spy, a company that can spend such a large amount of money to redeem smuggling evidence is definitely not small. To train a spy with a high status, the investment must be not small."

"And if there is an informant in the underground underworld, in the context of Japan's relatively strict gun control, smuggling will naturally be cautious, but that organization can obtain smuggling evidence, and its power can be imagined."

"Then, based on the above information, it can be seen that the organization behind the men in black has channels to obtain guns, may have sophisticated criminal methods, and may affect the police investigation. There is a high probability that one of them is several drug research institutes and a considerable number of Scientific researchers can plant spies in a large company, and they may also be powerful in the underground gangs,"

Akira Hanomiya patted Kudo Shinichi's shoulder lightly: "Kudo, this is the information I have obtained based on the existing intelligence. The situation is not optimistic."

Silence, a long silence.

"call……"

Kudo Shinichi took a long breath and said: "I took it for granted before. It seems that the organization is indeed not simple, and we must not act rashly."

"Well, what are you going to do now?" Yu Gongming asked.

"It's better to go to Dr. Agasa. After all, he is an inventor and trustworthy. He should be able to help." Kudo Shinichi said, then turned to look at Hanomiya Akira:

"Hanomiya, I know this is indeed dangerous, but I still hope you can help me... please."

There was nothing entangled in Yu Gongming's heart. Since he decided to participate in the plot, it was expected that he would face off against the winery. Yu Gongming was still mentally prepared for this.

But on the surface, Yu Gongming pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then nodded slightly: "Well, okay, my parents have passed away, and now I have nothing to worry about. I also hope to destroy such a criminal organization. To use an old Chinese proverb, I can be considered as sacrificing my life to accompany a gentleman."

"Thank you." Kudo Shinichi stood up and bowed solemnly to Akira Hanomiya.

Yu Gongming accepted this gift calmly.

"Now, let's go find Dr. Agasa." Kudo Shinichi.

Yu Gongming nodded in agreement, and the two set off.

When the two came to the door, they saw Kudo Mengyu who was about to open the door.
