I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 375 Yusaku and Gin (1st update)
Shuichi Akai left the bar, a cold wind mixed with drizzle hitting his face.

He lit a cigarette, walked briskly down the street, took a deep drag, and began to ponder as he exhaled the smoke.

Carmel and Judy will definitely be notified.

These two are trustworthy, and they've been my partners for many years, so they're very easy to use!
As for James…

Shuichi Akai thought about it and ultimately decided not to notify the other party.

Despite James being his superior for many years, the latter's extremely weak attitude towards the organization would affect the FBI Tokyo office's intelligence work on the organization.

Secondly, he couldn't fool James, the veteran agent.

Finally, James is an old man, and his energy is not enough to support the other party to work at the sewage treatment plant for a long time. It is estimated that he will leave the sewage treatment plant in the early morning.

I don't need to notify them, and the other party won't be in danger.

With that thought in mind, Hideki Akai took out his phone, quickly swiped his finger across the screen, and dialed Cameron's number.

Camel's slightly sleepy voice came through the phone quickly: "Hello? Akai? What's up so late?"

"Where are you now?" Shuichi Akai's voice was low and urgent.

“I’m resting at home. It’s not my shift today.” Carmel yawned and said, “What’s wrong?”

"Meet me at Chinatown at six tomorrow." After receiving a positive reply, Shuichi Akai hung up the phone.

He then dialed Judy's number.

The phone rang for a long time before being answered, and the faint hum of machinery could be heard in the background.

“Show?” Judy’s voice was filled with surprise and undisguised joy. “It’s so rare for you to take the initiative to contact me.”

Shuichi Akai skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point: "Judy, are you free at six tomorrow? How about we grab breakfast together?"

"Yes!" Judy agreed almost without hesitation!

Although she didn't know why Shuichi Akai would suddenly invite her, did it matter?
unimportant!
The important thing is that they can eat breakfast together now!
"Okay, see you at Chinatown at six o'clock." Shuichi Akai hung up the phone after giving the time and address.

After hanging up the phone, Judy checked the time; it was a little past one in the morning.

There were still more than four hours until 6 a.m.

If I stay up all night working tonight, I'll definitely look haggard and have no energy when I have breakfast with Xiuyi tomorrow.

That won't work!

I need to dress up nicely!

With that in mind, Judy decided to ask for leave.

After thinking for a moment, she walked to the temporary office and knocked on the door.

Once inside, Judy's face was contorted with pain.

"James, I need to take a day off." She clutched her stomach, her voice weak, and said, "My period suddenly started, and the pain is terrible."

James looked up from the documents and adjusted his glasses. "Now? But..."

“I’m so sorry… If it’s not possible, I can bear with it.” Judy bit her lip, and even fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead—a disguise technique she had learned at the secret service school.

Seeing Judy's pale face, James relented and said, "Alright, you can go back now... I'll have someone take you there."

"Thank you." Judy forced a smile, her steps faltering as she turned around.

James called an FBI agent who drove Judy back to her place.

Judy was a veteran of the FBI, and he trusted her completely, not at all worried that she would leak information.

Moreover... James felt that the Black Organization already knew where Gin was being held.

With so many agents missing from the police department and the embassy, ​​it's hard not to attract the attention of the Black Organization!
James's only concern was when the organization would make its move.

While he was thinking, his phone rang.

James picked it up and saw that it was a call from Yusaku Kudo, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He thought about it for a moment, and finally decided to answer the phone.

After all, Yusaku had helped him a lot.

If you ignore it, you'll probably be ignored if you want their help in the future.

With that in mind, James answered the phone and chatted with Yusaku Kudo.

"Mr. Kudo?" James pressed the answer button, his voice tinged with surprise. "What's up so late?"

Yusaku Kudo's gentle yet slightly weary voice came from the other end of the phone: "Sorry to bother you so late, James. I heard you recently caught a man named Gin?"

James's fingers tapped unconsciously on the table, his eyes narrowing slightly as he asked, "Where did Mr. Kudo hear this news?"

Yuzak chuckled softly, his voice sounding slightly distorted through the microphone, and said, "An old friend told me. You know, writers always have some special sources of information."

The office lights cast varying shadows on James's face. He paused for a few seconds before finally speaking: "Four o'clock in the morning, at the entrance of the Mihana Sakura Hotel. I'll send someone to pick you up."

At 3:50 a.m., Yusaku Kudo stood alone at the hotel entrance.

A black van silently slid up in front of him, and the window rolled down halfway.

“Mr. Kudo?” the detective wearing sunglasses asked in a low voice.

Yuzaku nodded and said, "It's me." The car door opened, and he got in.

The car was filled with a faint smell of leather and disinfectant.

An agent handed over a black eye mask and earmuffs: "It's the rule, please understand."

"I understand." Yusaku calmly accepted the item, skillfully handing over his belongings, and then put it on.

This wasn't the first time he'd experienced something like this. An hour later, the vehicle drove into the sewage treatment plant.

Yusaku could feel the light stop, and when the blindfold was removed, the glaring fluorescent light made him squint.

"I'm sorry to have to do it this way." James stood in front of him with an apologetic smile on his face.

Yuzuo stretched his stiff neck: "No need to apologize, I understand the security procedures."

James led the other person to the meeting room while they chatted casually.

Upon entering the reception room, he gestured for Yusaku to sit down, then poured him a cup of tea and said, "Could you tell me about your son?"

Yusaku's fingers gently caressed the rim of his glass, his eyes dimming: "Shinichi has been missing for several months... According to the last clue I got, he may have been involved in that train bombing."

"And at that time, Gin was on that train."

He briefly recounted his investigation process.

James also knew about the case.

After all, he couldn't possibly ignore such a big event as the Shinkansen explosion, especially since Gin and Vodka's figures had been captured on camera by passersby.

He nodded thoughtfully and said, "I understand... I will arrange for you to meet."

Upon seeing this, Yusaku repeatedly stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.

James waved his hand and laughed, "No need to be so polite, Yusaku... you've helped me a lot before."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he took Yusaku to the interrogation room.

Shortly afterward, Gin was also brought in by two agents.

Yusaku finally met the man who had turned his son into a child.

He quickly got into character, immediately stood up abruptly, his eyes burning with fury!

"Where is my son?" Yusaku's voice was deep and dangerous, completely different from his usual image.

Gin sat down unhurriedly in the chair, lit a cigarette, stared at Yusaku for a while, raised his eyebrows, and couldn't remember who the other person was at all.

He didn't even bother to acknowledge the other person, continuing to smoke his cigarette.

There are plenty of people who want their own lives, who do you think you are?

Seeing this, James reminded some of the excellent works: "Do you have photos?"

“Yes, it’s on my phone,” Yusaku said.

Upon seeing this, the FBI agent immediately put Yusaku's phone back in its original place and returned it to him.

After Yusaku turned on the camera, he found a photo of Shinichi Kudo, handed it to Gin, and said, "This is the kid!!!"

Gin looked at the photo, racking his brains for a long time, but couldn't recall anything.

He said coldly, "I don't remember... I've killed too many people, I never remember what they look like."

This wasn't Gin being perfunctory; he was a core member of the organization and was very busy.

Not only are they responsible for various assassination operations, but they also have to find traitors within the organization and identify whether some members have been bribed by intelligence agencies of various countries.

He doesn't even have enough time to pay attention to these people, so how could he possibly have the mind to focus on a male high school student who has already been killed?
Moreover, he had only seen this high school boy a handful of times.

These words enraged Yusaku. He stood up, intending to punch the other man in the face, but was stopped by an FBI agent standing nearby.

Gin chuckled and immediately swallowed the cigarette, the scalding butt hitting Yusaku's face, causing him to scream in pain.

The caregiver was startled and quickly restrained Gin.

James frowned and waved for his men to take Gin away.

Yusaku had calmed down after the incident. He touched his face where the cigarette butt had burned him and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no scars had been left.

He looked at James and said with a wry smile, "Sorry, I got a little excited."

“I understand… If it were my son who got into trouble, I would probably react the same way you do.” James did not blame the other person.

Yusaku sighed and walked out of the interrogation room with a slightly hunched shoulder, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

James offered him a cigarette, but he shook his head and refused.

"I'm prepared for the worst." Yusaku's voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.

James didn't say anything, but patted him on the shoulder: "I'll take you home."

It was getting late, and he needed to go back and rest.

As for the sewage treatment plant, he handed it over to his assistant.

After getting into the vehicle, Yusaku put his blindfold and earmuffs back on, looking extremely grief-stricken.

He carefully recalled his behavior, and there was nothing wrong with it; it was exactly the reaction of a father who had lost his son.

Furthermore, Yusaku also obtained a useful piece of information from Gin's reaction.

The other party didn't take Shinichi seriously at all.

This relieved him greatly.

This means that Conan will return to being Shinichi Kudo and living a normal life, as long as he doesn't flaunt his abilities.

James, unaware of Yuzuru's thoughts, chatted with him as he drove, catching up on old times.

However, not long after they left the sewage treatment plant, a loud explosion suddenly came from behind them.

James quickly slammed on the brakes, got out of the car, and his expression instantly turned serious as he saw the explosion near the sewage treatment plant.
