Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 283 The Limits of Kudo Yusaku's Network

The next morning, at Kudo's residence.

Makino and Kudo Yusaku sat face to face on the long sofa in the study, Conan and Yukiko also sat beside them with serious expressions, concentrating intently.

Knowing how terrifying the Black Organization is, Kudo Yusaku is more cautious than before during his investigation.

Kudo Yusaku organized his words and spoke slowly: "A friend at Interpol told me that they seemed to have noticed this black organization a long time ago, and the time is not much different from what my friend at the FBI described."

"A long time ago?" Conan frowned.

Kudo Yusaku nodded slightly: "Yes, although there is no information left, it seems that Interpol targeted this organization more than 30 years ago."

When Conan heard the word "more than 30 years", his eyes widened and his brows frowned.

Since Interpol targeted this organization more than 30 years ago, it means that there is a high probability that the Black Organization was established even earlier.

Not only that, the Black Organization has been able to survive until now with Interpol and the FBI knowing about it, and there is even a tendency for it to become more terrifying...

Can I really defeat such an organization and completely take back my freedom from them?
Just as Conan was thinking about this carefully, Kudo Yusaku looked at Makino seriously and continued: "As for the information I got this time, it is also related to the incident I just mentioned.

Interpol targeted this organization because of a transnational assassination case. More than 30 years ago, a Belgian politician was successfully shot and assassinated by several terrorists in black uniforms when he visited Lyon.

This incident had a great impact at the time, but for the sake of relations between the two countries and to prevent other terrorists from taking advantage of this incident to carry out more radical actions, the incident was quickly suppressed by the top leaders of the two countries.

In order to ensure that the police of the two countries would not be biased during the investigation, the case was eventually handed over to Interpol for investigation.

At this point, Kudo Yusho looked at Makino meaningfully and nodded slightly.

Conan and Yukiko beside him also subconsciously turned their heads to look at Makino.

Although Kudo Yusaku did not explain, everyone understood what he wanted to express. After all, they were not unfamiliar with the "Black Organization's assassination."

In addition to the fact that Makino had been assassinated by the Black Organization, Kudo Yusaku and the other two also knew that former Nerima District Mayor Matsubara and great politician Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi had been assassinated.

In the minds of Conan and others, "assassinating important figures" has almost become a special term for the Black Organization.

After thinking for a moment, Kudo Yusaku lowered his head and said, "That's all my friend knows. As for the final outcome of the case, not many people seem to know. Although Interpol has files on this case, they only contain what I just mentioned, which is very limited."

At this moment, Yukiko asked, "Yusaku, could it be that this case is classified as confidential because it involves a big shot?"

Kudo Yusaku shook his head slowly: "It's possible, but my friend's position in Interpol is already very high. If even he can't see the detailed information of this case... then I'm afraid the only people who can see this information are the top leaders in Interpol."

After hearing this answer, Yukiko and Conan's expressions became more serious.

Although the information obtained by Kudo Yusaku was not "important intelligence", it was enough to explain a lot of things.

Apart from anything else, at least they have a more detailed understanding and knowledge of the "scope of activities" and "danger" of this black organization.

——“Ding Dong!”

At this moment, the sudden ringing of the doorbell interrupted everyone's thoughts.

The next second, a clear yet shy young female voice reached everyone's ears.

——"Excuse me, is anyone here? Uncle Yusaku, Yukiko...sister!"

After hearing this familiar voice, Conan immediately stood up from his chair and asked in surprise: "Xiaolan? What is she doing here now?"

Yukiko glanced down at her son, sighed helplessly, then immediately took Conan's hand and walked towards the door.

Makino and Kudo Yusaku on the side smiled at each other in silence.

After Yukiko pulled Conan out of the study, Kudo Yusaku turned to look at Makino and said seriously: "Makino, the situation may be worse than we thought. Although this is just my guess, since the black organization's targets of assassination are almost always important figures from all walks of life, and they have been safe until now... The power of this organization seems to be deeper than I thought at first."

Makino nodded slightly: "Well, maybe the FBI and organizations like Interpol have their people."

Kudo Yusaku shook his head tiredly, his expression solemn: "I think so too, and... I'm afraid it's not just that. I suspect that some high-ranking politicians in various countries have actually known about this organization all along."

After seeing Kudo Yusaku's expression at this moment, an inexplicable light flashed in Makino's eyes.

He has known Kudo Yusaku for such a long time, but this is the first time he has seen such a "powerless" expression on Kudo Yusaku's face.

In his impression, no matter what happened to Kudo Yusaku, he always had a calm look on his face, as if "everything is under control".

Obviously, this intelligence made him feel wary of this organization, with which he would almost certainly have to fight in the future.

In addition, Kudo Yusaku deliberately said these things after Yukiko and Conan left, probably to avoid them falling into meaningless panic.

Thinking of this, Makino slowly spoke: "Brother Yusaku, have you heard of the Ooka family?"

Kudo Yusaku was slightly stunned: "Ooka family? Are you talking about the Ooka family that has produced many politicians?"

"Yes, actually I got some information recently. The possibility that the Black Organization is related to the Ooka family is very high."

"What?!" Kudo Yusaku's pupils constricted, and the expression on his face showed signs of being out of control.

Makino's words obviously stimulated his heart, which was already full of worry and anxiety.

At this moment, two conversations sounded from far away:
"Xiaolan, I didn't expect you to come so early~ Makino has just arrived... Oh, by the way! In that case, we can drive two cars to the restaurant together~"

"No... Sister Yukiko, the reason I came so early is because I wanted to..."

"Oh? Xiaolan, do you have something you want to ask? Could it be related to that brat in my house?"

"Ah?! No, no! Actually, it was our homeroom teacher who asked me to ask. She wanted me to ask when Shinichi will be able to come back to attend classes properly..."

"Hey, so that's how it is~"

"..."

Not long after, Yukiko took Xiaolan's hand and walked into the study, and Conan followed behind them with a gloomy expression on his face, as if no one knew what he was thinking.

After seeing Makino and Kudo Yusaku in the house, Xiaolan hurriedly lowered her head and greeted them seriously.

At this moment, Kudo Yusaku had already sorted out his expression. He greeted Xiaolan with a smile, then turned to look at the clock beside him and said, "Although it's still a little early, it seems that we can go to the restaurant we booked earlier. Xiaolan, you came at the right time. We can set off together later~"

"Okay, Uncle Yusaku." Xiaolan nodded shyly. At this time, Yukiko looked down at Conan who didn't know what he was thinking, and chuckled: "Yusaku, actually Xiaolan came here early to ask about Shinichi. Their high school class teacher wants to know when Shinichi can go back to school~"

Hearing this, Kudo Yusuke glanced at Conan and chuckled, "Sorry, we don't know either. The case Shinichi took on this time seems to be extremely complicated, and it takes a lot of time to investigate in various places.

Don't worry, please help us convey this to his class teacher, and we will urge him to study the contents of the textbook while working on the case."

Although Kudo Yusaku knew that this was just an "excuse" for Xiaolan to come here, he still answered this question seriously.

As for “learning the contents of the textbook,” it is just something that sounds correct.

Everyone present knew that the so-called "textbook content" was not important to Kudo Shinichi.

At this time, Conan, who was still thinking about the information related to the Black Organization, came back to his senses under Yukiko's "eye attack" and stared at Xiaolan's profile with a slightly red face.

After seeing Conan's expression, Yukiko's mouth corners instantly raised into a weird smile.

The next moment, Yukiko suddenly said, "By the way, Xiaolan, the last time I spoke to Shinichi, he said that when he has the chance, he will personally invite you to travel to the beach together~"

Xiaolan: “!!!”

Conan: “???????”

After everyone chatted briefly for a while, Kudo Yusaku suggested driving to the restaurant in advance.

Before leaving, Kudo Yusaku looked at Xiaolan with a chuckle and asked, "Xiaolan, how will Mr. Maori get to the restaurant later? Do you want us to pick him up first?"

Xiaolan shook her head and said, "No, Dad went out early this morning. It seems that he has an important commission. He told us not to wait for him and said that he would go directly to the restaurant after he finished his work."

Hearing this, Kudo Yusaku turned to look at Yukiko and chuckled, "After dinner, Makino should be sending the Suzuki sisters home, so let's drive two cars. I'll take Makino's car, and Yukiko, you drive with Xiaolan and Conan."

"Okay~" Yukiko glanced at Makino out of the corner of her eye and nodded with a smile.

The next moment, without waiting for Conan to speak, Yukiko directly pulled Xiaolan and Conan towards the door: "This time when I came back, I specially took out the sports car that I stored at my friend's house! Anyway, there is no rush to go to the restaurant, I can take you for a good ride later~"

Xiaolan and Conan: "?!"

After hearing this, Xiaolan and Conan recalled the same memory at the same time, and a look of panic flashed in their eyes.

However, before leaving, Conan turned his head to look at Makino and his father behind him, frowning slightly.

He knew that his father made such arrangements in order to create an opportunity and time for him to communicate with Makino alone.

'What on earth are they talking about?'

……

Not long after, in Makino’s car.

After the car started on the road, Kudo Yusaku looked up at the blue sky outside the window and said, "Makino, if I remember correctly, I remember that you also seem to be from a 'noble family'. Have you ever been in contact with the Ooka family before?"

Makino shook his head and said, "I haven't come into contact with them. Although my family is indeed a noble family, it can't be compared with a big family like the Ooka family. What's more, my family is not a political family. At most, it is a half-police family."

"Although I have heard of the Ooka family, I have only heard of it and don't know much about it." Kudo Yusaku shook his head, "If the Black Organization is still related to this family, then our situation will undoubtedly become more difficult."

The Ooka family is a famous political family, and their influence in the political arena is almost unmatched.

This family has appeared in almost all positions, from Prime Minister to Secretary of State.

Although this family has not produced an "overt leader" for a long time, almost half of the senior political figures in the cabinet and provincial departments are related to this family.

In addition to intelligence organizations like the FBI, if even this family is related to the Black Organization, then what they will face in the future may not just be a so-called "evil organization."

Standing opposite them is not some evil organization, but an unimaginable "monster".

After a long silence, Kudo Yusaku sighed and said, "If it weren't for Shinichi, I would never have known that such a scary organization existed in this world.

I will stay in Tokyo for a few more days this time. I will try to find classmates or friends I know and ask about the Ooka family to see if I can get any useful information. Don't tell Shinichi and the others about this for now. Let's wait until we get more specific information."

Hearing this, Makino turned to look at Kudo Yusaku and nodded slightly, agreeing with his proposal.

He has always been curious about the "network limit" of Kudo Yusaku.

……

Outside a high-end sushi restaurant.

Makino and Kudo Yusaku leaned against the side of the car, talking in low voices while waiting for Yukiko and the others who had set out earlier than them.

In order to talk about the Ooka family, Makino deliberately slowed down the car and even made a small circle nearby.

However, even so, when they arrived at the scene, they did not see Yukiko and others.

Just as Kudo Yusaku was about to call Yukiko, the sound of an excited car engine came from a distance.

After hearing this voice, Makino chuckled and said, "It seems they are here too~"

Unlike Makino, after hearing the engine sound, Kudo Yusaku's face turned noticeably paler than before.

A moment later, a red coupe drove over here and stopped not far away with a brisk drift.

The next second, Yukiko opened the car door and got out.

Unlike before, although she looked very happy, there was a faint "bitter smile" at the corner of her mouth.

After seeing Makino and Kudo Yusaku, she immediately walked towards them quickly.

Before Makino and Kudo Yusaku could speak, Yukiko raised her hand and touched the back of her head, stuck out her tongue and smiled: "Ryuichi, Yusaku, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I just... seem to have made a small mistake~"

Makino: "?"

Kudo Yusaku: “!!!”
