Stay away from Conan.

"Then let's go to the twin tower skyscrapers in Nishitama City now..."

So, seeing the familiar killing intent in Gin Jiu's eyes, Vodka couldn't help but say.

But before he finished speaking, Gin Jiu interrupted:
"No, not yet, we will have to go to another place..."

"what?"

Surprisingly, seeing Gin respond like this, Vodka was a little puzzled——

What is so important, even the matter of investigating the rats inside the organization can be postponed...

"This is what Belmode found out..."

With a sneer, Gin said:
"About Shirley's dead sister, before she died, she actually rented an apartment without telling the organization. Belmode thinks this is not normal, so we are going there now to have a look..."

Saying that, Qin Jiu couldn't help but snorted coldly, and then said:
"Oh, I almost forgot if I didn't mention it, Shirley has a sister..."

"Ugh?"

In this regard, Vodka was a little surprised when he heard Gin say this, and then recalled it, and couldn't help but say:

"Is that... a member of the organization called Miyano Akemi? But although she was also adopted by the organization, she is at best an ordinary person who is a peripheral member. Why would Belmode think of investigating her? She is not Was it already killed by you, big brother? What else is there to investigate."

I am very puzzled, and I am puzzled that Belmode, a member of the organization who just returned from the United States, would have nothing to do to investigate the matter of Miyano Akemi.

Hearing this, Gin said:

"That guy has recently begun to investigate Shirley's whereabouts... I just didn't expect that she would start with Miyano Akemi first. Although Shirley's betrayal is indeed somewhat related to this woman's death, but..."

Speaking of this, Gin's expression became serious——

"I didn't expect that Belmode actually found out something."

In this way, Gin's tone was slightly displeased, as if he felt a little jealous of Belmode's investigation results——

this woman...

"But, isn't she just renting an apartment? People have been dead for so long, what's the point of going to investigate?"

Seeing Gin's dignified expression, Vodka looked even more puzzled and couldn't help asking.

"Bermod investigated when she rented that apartment. She was clearly under the surveillance of our people at that time, but she still rented that apartment without anyone noticing it. Don't you think it's strange?"

It's just simple, Gin made it clear first.

Vodka didn't know much about this, so he just nodded, and then the car, driven by Gin, headed towards a certain place in Tokyo.

Finally, under the darkness of night, this black Porsche 356A stopped in front of an apartment building named "Skylark". Immediately after the parked car, Vodka and Gin walked towards the apartment——

Afterwards, led by Gin Jiu, the two came to the door of an apartment on a high floor.

In this regard, after realizing that this is the target room, Vodka habitually drew out his gun and prepared to break the door, but was stopped by Gin.

I saw that Gin knocked on the door, but the door was opened from the inside.

And suddenly, seeing the person who opened the door, Vodka's expression was suddenly startled——

Because, he could see that the person who came to open the door, and that face, was Miyano Akemi who should have been killed!
In this regard, I noticed Vodka who was a little speechless in surprise and didn't know what to do. The person in front of me with the appearance of Miyano Akemi showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and then he opened his mouth to explain:

"it's me."

In this way, Belmode's voice came from the mouth of "Akemi Miyano" in front of him.

Now, Vodka finally realized what was going on, and at the same time recalled Belmode's nickname of "Witch with Thousand Faces"—

However, this time, it was the first time I saw it with my own eyes...

"Belmode."

Simple, Gin greeted Belmode with a face of "Akemi Miyano" expressionlessly, and then walked into the house, and naturally, vodka also followed in—

"Is it this room? Did you find anything."

Coldly, as if asking a subordinate, Gin asked Belmode like this.

"of course."

Slightly satisfied, it was Belmode who still had the face of "Akemi Miyano" and said:
"I went to the apartment manager with this face on purpose, and there was nothing wrong with it. The rent was paid in advance for a year, and the apartment manager said, 'I' hasn't been back for a long time."

"Humph--"

So, hearing Belmode say this, Gin snorted coldly, and said:
"A dead person, how could she come back... Even if there is, it can only be..."

Speaking of this, Gin thought of Miyano Akemi's purpose of renting this apartment without telling the organization, maybe it was to make it easier for her to take Shirley away——

After all, back then, when Akemi Miyano took over the task of "One Billion Yen Bank Robbery", her goal was to take Shirley away after completing the task.

But now it seems that Miyano Akemi has made a lot of preparations for this.

In particular, I also noticed that in the study room of this apartment, there are piles of books, all of which are professional books on medicine, physiology, biology, etc. No matter how I think about it, this is impossible for Miyano Akemi. What ordinary people see, it should be that Akemi Miyano thinks that after she can take Shirley out of the organization, she can live here with Shirley, so she prepared these things in advance.

"I thought so too at first..."

And just as Gin was thinking at this moment, Belmode seemed to be thinking the same way as Gin, so he continued:

"But the apartment manager has never seen anyone who has been in this apartment during the time 'I' disappeared. Moreover, what is more interesting is——

"In this apartment, I can't find any fingerprints or traces of life... If there is no testimony from the administrator to prove that Miyano Akemi has indeed lived here for a while, I would have thought I was in the wrong place..."

"Heh, what's so strange about this?"

Gin didn't care about this, and explained:

"It's easy to understand. It was the woman Shirley who came here secretly, tricked the apartment manager, and wiped away traces of her sister's life here."

"But what's the point of doing that?"

In this way, Belmode asked back:
"We have now found the apartment that Akemi Miyano rented here for a year without telling the organization. Even if the traces are removed, we can still confirm that Akemi Miyano lived here, so Shirley, who was our focus to track down, Why waste your time here?"

"Then... is to clear Shirley from living here..."

At first, it was a little casual, Gin was about to answer, but halfway through speaking, he seemed to realize the same logic——

Shirley lived here?Erase the traces of her living here?meaning?

If I have to say, if we want to prevent us from finding this place, we should not clear the traces in the room, but clear the records of Miyano Akemi's rental house, otherwise as long as you know that this place was rented by Miyano Akemi, Shirley will be there It's not something incomprehensible to hide for a while...

But now...

"What, do you realize it? Since I can find this place, the visible traces have not been cleared at all. So from the standpoint of the two sisters, clearing the traces here is completely thankless... Therefore, there is a point behind this There is another reason!"

With the face of "Akemi Miyano", Belmode showed a cruel smile... (End of this chapter)
