Stay away from Conan.

“CIA…”

Muttering to herself, Shiho Miyano looked at Rena Mizunashi before her, her mind churning with various thoughts. She recited the name of this shocking intelligence agency, then stared blankly for a moment, before seemingly realizing something and questioning Rena Mizunashi:
"Where is my sister? What did you do to my sister?"

Thus, just thinking about how Rena Mizunashi had used her older sister to threaten her earlier, and out of concern for her sister's safety, Shiho Miyano had no choice but to ask this question urgently.

To this, Rena Mizunashi was slightly surprised that Shiho Miyano's first question was this. She had thought that Sherry would ask why she had brought her along after hearing about her background, but instead, she asked about her sister first...

But thinking about it, it makes sense. As her only remaining family member in the world, it's only natural that Shirley would care about him so much.

At this point, Rena Mizunashi was completely convinced. The person who instructed her to do this suggested that she use the term "her older sister" to guide Sherry's behavior.

Faced with Sherry's question, Rena Mizunashi simply smiled; she had already prepared her explanation.

"Don't worry, right now... isn't this exactly the time I'm taking you to see her?"

……

"Oh no... Xiu, I've lost track of that guy!"

Meanwhile, while it was still daytime in Japan, on the other side of the ocean in New York City at night, FBI agent Judy, with blond hair, was driving her car and urgently reporting the situation to someone on the other end of the phone.

The person she contacted was, of course, Shuichi Akai, who was also an FBI agent.

Upon hearing Jodie's report over the phone, Shuichi Akai showed no emotional reaction to the news. Instead, he simply said:
"It's alright. Since she was just within your surveillance range, there's no need to worry."

"Huh? But, Xiu..."

Hearing Shuichi Akai's reaction, Jodie was clearly puzzled. After all, this time, they had launched a comprehensive surveillance operation against Vermouth, the organization member whose alias was the famous actress Chris Vineyard. This operation was already risky, as they were already taking steps to alert her. If they made no progress and Vermouth escaped like this, what would happen next...?

That would be difficult.

Moreover, this was something Shuichi insisted on doing in the first place; he somehow convinced his superiors to carry out this operation, but now…

He was in charge of tracking Vermouth's movements, but a blunder occurred at this crucial moment, allowing her to escape surveillance. Without a doubt, this meant their operation had been discovered.

The snake was already in a state of panic.

Under such circumstances, Shuichi remained remarkably calm; what was the reason for this...?

Why did Xiu go to such lengths to pull this stunt this time?
After all, although he knew that Vermouth's public identity might be that of Chris Vineyard, he would not take action against her unless absolutely necessary. However, just two days ago, Shuichi suddenly decided to start monitoring her...

Jodie vaguely sensed that this matter was very important to Shuichi, but why was Shuichi... now that the operation had gone wrong...?

With this question in mind, after Judy uttered that doubtful sound, all she heard on the other end of the phone was a reply from Shuichi Akai that left her utterly perplexed—

"As long as we ensure she can't get to Japan by any means before dawn... Even though her whereabouts are currently unknown, since we've confirmed she was under surveillance just now, even if she boards a plane to Japan now, she absolutely cannot arrive before dawn."

Shuichi Akai spoke calmly on the other end of the phone. This seemingly irrelevant answer only deepened Jodie's confusion—

To prevent Vermouth from reaching Japan before dawn? All for this? Just what...?

What is Xiu considering?
……

According to Rena Mizunashi, she has successfully lured Shiho Miyano out of the organization's laboratory...

Ha, isn't that obvious?

Because of the news from Twilight Mansion, Rum's attention was successfully diverted here. At the same time, core members of other organizations, such as Gin, were also gathered at Twilight Mansion under various pretexts.

At this point, the personnel in other places besides this location are basically no longer a concern.

Moreover, since all these people had arrived around the Twilight Villa, it was easy for them to hijack the base stations there, obtain the cell phone signals of these people, and then forge Rum's emails to send to the organization.

That is why I was able to completely accomplish my plan.

At this moment, having received a message from Rena Mizunashi, Takato, who was outside the Twilight Villa and far from the mountains outside, couldn't help but feel his heart pounding violently.

This wasn't a physical reaction to the injury caused by the katana that pierced his shoulder, but rather a feeling of involuntary excitement stemming from knowing something was about to happen—Takato was absolutely certain of.

Now, most of the organization's members are under his surveillance, especially figures like Rum and Gin, who are the backbone of the organization. This allows him to take this opportunity to send false information to the organization's members at the pharmaceutical company, creating a possibility for Rena Mizunashi to bring Shiho Miyano out.

Because of Rena Mizunashi's CIA affiliation, Takato used her identity to threaten, entice, and reason with her, thus getting her to cooperate in taking Shiho Miyano away, which meant completely removing Shiho Miyano from the organization's control.

Meanwhile, using Bourbon's identity as a Japanese public security officer as leverage, and employing essentially the same methods, they got him to take Miyano Akemi away—

In this way, the Miyano sisters are now completely out of the organization's control, and even if the organization discovers anything amiss, the people who can give orders now are under their control.

Given this situation, coupled with Shuichi Akai keeping a close eye on Vermouth in the United States, ensuring that no known organization or force could spare any resources during this period, this game of chess has finally come to an end!

Gao Yuan did all this for one purpose only—

I didn't come here to uncover the truth, but rather to...

The chessboard was overturned!
After summoning these members of the organization here, revealing to so many that the organization's boss, Karasuma Renya, is still alive, and also informing them that Shiho Miyano's research on "APTX4869" could potentially rejuvenate living beings, the following happened—

What will Karasuma Renya, the boss of that organization, do?

If Karasuma Renya desperately needs Miyano Shiho to complete that drug, then at this point, with the organization's core secrets regarding drug research already leaked and all related data destroyed, who is truly at the heart of everything?
Naturally, it's Shiho Miyano who has the potential to recover from the drug!
And now, Shiho Miyano has been successfully taken out by him!

Furthermore, at this point, the organization had essentially all the personnel it could mobilize under its control. So, facing this situation—

Karasuma Renya, what other trump cards do you have up your sleeve?! (End of Chapter)
