Stay away from Conan.

"This time, it seems that a lot of people were dispatched and the situation was very tense, but Akai actually didn't want to take this opportunity to fight with Gin and the others, so his actions were also very restrained."

James gave a brief account of Shuichi Akai's operation.

So, facing this result, Conan and Judy were a little surprised -

"Ugh?"

For Judy, she did not expect James to evaluate Shuichi Akai's actions this time as "restrained". After all, so many agents were dispatched this time, and they were almost acting with the momentum of catching those guys in one fell swoop. She did not expect the result to be like this.

"Did they get away again?"

After hearing these words, Conan basically understood the situation and said in summary. Although Conan was a little surprised that the FBI had come out in full force this time and the result was just like this, and they didn't even catch any other members of the organization, Conan could understand why things turned out like this -

In other words, after knowing that Shuichi Akai had led people to capture Vodka but then released him, Conan knew that the FBI probably did not want to confront the key figures of the organization directly at this time.

Moreover, to be honest, it is a shocking result that these members of the organization were able to escape without a trace despite the FBI's pursuit.

As such, Conan couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Even the FBI agents had made so many arrangements but failed to capture another one of them. Thinking back to the actions I had taken against the organization, it seemed a bit ridiculous...

However, Conan did not feel disappointed. At least he had gained something in the long confrontation with the organization. At least now he has confirmed that the organization is not as previously understood, completely hidden in the dark and no one knows of its existence. Instead, he knows that the FBI clearly knows some things about this organization and is taking actions to destroy it.

Therefore, from this point of view, he now has an extremely reliable ally. From now on, he will no longer be "fighting alone" like before, but will have a force that he can rely on.

Moreover, Conan is now curious about Shuichi Akai, a person he has only heard of so far, because he also learned one thing from Judy, that is, on the day of the "full moon", on the dock, after he was knocked unconscious by Vermouth using a watch-shaped tranquilizer gun, Judy, who was attacked from both sides, was rescued by Shuichi Akai, and he also injured Vermouth on that occasion...

Coming to support Teacher Judy single-handedly like this, and being able to do this in that situation...

Or, to go further, he was able to ambush there in advance and see through Vermouth's plan. It was extraordinary that he could do this.

Therefore, Conan was a little eager to get to know this person named Akai Shuichi, and what's more -

He is actually related to Huibara's sister!

So, Conan thought of this, because the bug had been found, the hidden danger caused by it no longer existed, and the operation to capture other members of the organization had failed, so...

It's about time to go back. As for the idea of ​​meeting Akai Shuichi...

Forget it, let’s do it next time.

I also want to test Huibara's attitude before speaking, so as not to say something wrong later...

So, Conan followed James and the others and said:

"Can you take me back?"

James and Judy had no objection to this. After all, it was not appropriate for Conan to be involved in what was going to happen next.

but--

"By the way, there is one more thing I hope you will pay attention to."

As James nodded and agreed to send Conan back, on the way, James suddenly remembered something and reminded Conan.

"Huh?" At this time, seeing James had something to say again, Conan couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but he still calmed down and prepared to listen first -

"As for the candidates for this House of Representatives election, including Mr. Domon Yasuteru, scandals involving several of them were exposed online today, and it's causing a stir now!"

"Hey? What happened?"

After hearing what James said, not only Conan, but also Judy was surprised and asked:

After all, Judy and the others knew that this was about the House of Representatives election, and it was not surprising that they would resort to various means to increase their chances of success. However...

It happened at this time, when the organization was also taking action against Domon Yasuki. Conan and his friends could not help but wonder if this matter was related to the organization. After all, judging from Domon Yasuki's style of doing things, he would have a scandal...

This is still a little hard to imagine.

So, based on this, James obviously understood the key to the problem, and replied:

"The scandal about Mr. Domon Yasuteru is not actually about Mr. Domon Yasuteru himself, but about his father.

"His father's extramarital affair scandal 20 years ago was exposed, affecting Mr. Domon Yasuteru's reputation..."

"That's it..."

Hearing what James said, Judy nodded thoughtfully, and then said:

“Although this is not a scandal involving Mr. Domon Yasuteru himself, the news of this kind at this time is also not conducive to Mr. Domon Yasuteru’s election...

"Could it be the work of those guys?"

Judy said with some concern. After all, their assassination attempt on Yasuteru Domon had just been stopped and something like this happened. It was hard not to be suspicious.

In this regard, James analyzed:

"I'm not sure. After all, if Mr. Domon Yasuteru insists, this kind of news won't affect his election too much... although it will still be a lot more difficult."

"So, it's hard to say whether this method, which can't directly kill the target, is the work of those guys, right..."

Judy murmured as she analyzed.

Then, at this moment, Conan on the side couldn't help but ask one more question:

"What about other than that?"

"Ok?"

For a moment, it was obvious that James hadn't realized what Conan was trying to say.

But soon, Conan gave an explanation:

"Besides Mr. Domon's scandal, are there any other scandals involving other candidates? Who are they about?"

In response, James, who heard this, replied:

"Eisaku Tokiwa, a professor of pharmacy at Teito University. However, the scandal that was exposed about him was not related to him like Yasuki Domon. According to the scandal, during the time that Eisaku Tokiwa was a professor of pharmacy at Teito University, his actions were simply to tarnish the reputation of a professor.

"Not only did he take credit for his students' research, but the way he became a professor was dishonorable...

"This time, with the emergence of this news, he basically has no chance of winning the election..." (End of this chapter)
