Conan: I'm really not the mastermind behind the scenes

The rain was getting heavier, and the cold and humid air hung over Shibuya.

In a building that was about to be demolished, far away from the station and the commercial street, a figure was walking up the stairs stealthily. When he passed a corner, he suddenly stopped and listened carefully to the movements around him.

The empty corridor was so quiet that the only sound was the rain outside.

"..."

Public security policeman Yuya Kazami, who was on a field trip, realized that it was just a false alarm and continued to walk up.

As Rei Furuya withdrew from the Black Organization and returned to the National Police Agency three years ago, he, the contact person who had been cooperating with the other party during their undercover period, was transferred from the Metropolitan Police Department to the National Police Agency and is still Rei Furuya's subordinate.

Although Furuya Rei's undercover mission ended in failure, the public security investigation into the organization is still ongoing. In the past few months, police officers from the National Police Agency have been tracking down paintings left behind in Japan by important members of an organization in various places.

Yuya Kazami followed Rei Furuya and several other colleagues to search from Tokyo to Osaka, and then from Osaka to Kanagawa. So far, they have not found any information about the painting, but have instead worked a lot more overtime.

For example, these days, they originally planned to find an art dealer who had just been released from prison half a year ago and killed someone because his employee did not take good care of his paintings. However, they received new instructions this morning, asking them to first check the suspicious foreigners who had appeared in Shibuya recently.

Thinking of this, Kazami Yuya sighed imperceptibly.

The unfinished building in front of us is one of the several locations that were urgently checked. It was originally intended to be built as an apartment, but the developer went bankrupt when the construction was halfway through. It has been unfinished ever since. Ordinary residents rarely come here, and occasionally homeless people stay here.

He walked from the first floor to the third floor but didn't see anyone. He didn't know how Mr. Fūya in the basement was doing, and how the colleagues in charge of other locations were doing...

The interior of the unfinished apartment building has been divided into different areas by walls, but there are no doors or windows. The wind and rain whizzed in through the holes in the outer walls.

Just as Yuya Kazami was walking towards the fourth floor on the water-stained cement floor and looking around as usual, almost the moment he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of a black shadow flashing past in the opposite direction from the corner of his eye.

anyone? !
Yuya Kazami quickly moved to the side, and with the cover of the wall, he reached for the gun position at his side with one hand, and quietly tapped the communication headset on his ear with the other hand.

"rustle……"

I don’t know if it was because of the noise of rain or because they were underground, but Furiya Rei didn’t get through.

Feng Jianyuya frowned, and he carefully half-poked his head out, only to see that there was no one outside.

He hesitated for a moment, then waited vigilantly for another minute. Seeing that there was still no one outside and no response from the headset, he slowly walked out hesitantly.

"Boom!"

After taking a few steps, a knocking sound suddenly sounded not far away, which made Fumiaki Yuya's hair stand on end instantly!

He pulled out the gun from his waist and pointed it in the direction of the sound, with his finger on the trigger, deciding to shoot at any time if there was any unusual movement!
But the knocking sound sounded once and then disappeared.

The surroundings were eerily quiet; it seemed as if the only sound one could hear was the sound of blood hitting one's eardrums. In his extremely nervous state, Yuya Kazami could not even hear the clear sound of rain outside.

He kept the gun raised and walked forward slowly, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, focusing on places where people might be hiding, hoping that the call would be connected soon.

As I was walking slowly through an empty room, the strange noise was heard again!
This time it was a series of undisguised footsteps!
Yuya Kazami turned around quickly and saw a middle-aged foreign man with pale skin and a beard running past him!

"!!" Feng Jianyuya was horrified and instinctively ran after him: "Wait, don't run!!"

The foreign man ran out from another direction, and Feng Jianyuya chased after him after turning a corner, and continued to shout as he ran: "Stop! I'm a policeman! If you don't stop, I will shoot!!"

The person in front is still running very fast.

The opponent's body kept shaking, and Feng Jianyu was not confident that he could hit the target under such circumstances. Stopping to aim would waste time, so he had to speed up and chase after him.

"Kazemi, what's wrong with you?"

Finally, the voice of Furugaya Rei was heard in the headset. Kazami Yuya was overjoyed and said quickly: "Mr. Furugaya, I found a suspicious foreigner on the fourth floor! I'm chasing him now!"

Fūya Rei immediately said, "Don't lose me! I'm coming right away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the foreigner in front of Yuya Kazami suddenly stopped.

"!!"

The other party stopped unexpectedly, and Feng Jianyu almost stumbled, but he quickly realized what was going on. This unfinished building was in the shape of a Chinese character "回", with the "口" in the middle empty. The inner wall was originally intended to be equipped with corridor railings, so it was only waist-high. At this time, the foreigner ran in front of one of the blocks.

He wanted to turn around and change direction, but when he turned around, he saw Yuya Kazami directly.

When the foreigner saw the gun pointed at him, his already pale face turned even paler.

"No!"

"Неподходикомне!"

While shouting at Yuya Kazami, he stretched out his hand and gestured towards his neck.

"...?"

Yuya Kazami didn't understand what the other person was saying at all, as the foreigner was not speaking English.

But he saw what was around the foreigner's neck.

——It was a large iron collar that looked like a neck brace. There were three glass tubes on the left and right ends and in the front of the collar, two of which were filled with two liquids, one red and one blue.

what is this?
Yuuya Kazami was also confused. He moved closer with a gun and tried to communicate with the other party in English.

However, in the next second——

"boom!"

The foreigner exploded, and the scorching heat wave and the rising purple smoke blew away Yuya Kazami who was close by.

He was stunned by the explosion and fell into a semi-comatose state on the spot. His center of gravity was unbalanced and his body flipped over the low wall and was about to fall down.

But at the critical moment, a hand reached down and suddenly grabbed his ankle.

——It was Rei Furuya who rushed over. He didn't care about the fire burning nearby, and rushed directly to the wall, holding the wall with one hand to stabilize his body, and with the other hand he grabbed the ankle of Yuya Kazami to prevent his subordinate from falling.

"Mr. Fūya, what's wrong with you?!"

There was a sound coming from the headphones. It was other colleagues nearby who heard something was wrong and asked them what was going on.

Furiya Rei tried to pull Kazami Yuya up and said to them, "Hurry to Building 2. We found a lot of..."

The next words stopped abruptly.

A man in a black raincoat came to the wall at some point, playing with an open collar in his hand. When the man looked up, Fūya Rei saw the face under the hood clearly.

His pupils suddenly tightened.

……

At the same time, in a certain organization base.

Rena Mizunashi sat stiffly in front of a computer.

Behind her stood two men in black who looked very intimidating. Curacao stood aside with a calm expression. An email popped up on the computer screen, which contained several screenshots that seemed to be taken from surveillance and were not clear.

There is another file.

Mizunashi Reina looked at the identity file of the organization's members, and there was also a photo in the upper right corner. It was a portrait photo, and unlike a screenshot, it was very clear.

The moment she saw the man's face clearly, her fingers under the table trembled slightly.

The four of them didn't speak, and listened to a certain electronic synthesized voice ringing in the room:

"Kil, the public security policeman you met last time in Osaka, was he this man?" (End of this chapter)
