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

Chapter 513 The Formula of Excellent Works (1st Update)
After using an RPG to kill Hara Yoshiaki, Kudo Yu quickly drove away from the scene of the crime.

He drove the vehicle to a nearby multi-story parking garage.

The vehicle drove into a secluded corner, and Yusaku swiftly switched to a white van that had been prepared in advance, casually stuffing the RPG launcher into a hidden compartment in the trunk.

Shiraishi E, dressed as a fat man, sat in the passenger seat and chuckled, "You're quite skilled at it."

Yusaku pushed up his glasses and said half-jokingly, "I'll be living this kind of life from now on, so I can't be too careless."

As he drove away from the parking lot, he remarked with a sigh, "This way, there will be far fewer troubles in the future."

Shiraishi E chuckled and said, "Provided that no one else sees through your technique."

Yusaku's smile faltered slightly: "Oh? What did you see?"

Shiraishi E said calmly, "The moment you took out the RPG, Hara Yoshiaki had already run away."

"His car was parked right next to the manhole cover, so there must have been a hole cut into the bottom of the car beforehand, right?"

He recalled the situation at the time, saying, "That way, he could crawl directly from the car into the sewer and cooperate with you to stage a good 'fake death' act."

Yuzu was silent for a moment, then chuckled: "As expected of 'Bandit Ancestor,' I knew I couldn't hide anything from you."

Shiraishi E snorted coldly: "Your neighbor is a scientist. Inventing gadgets isn't difficult for him, and modifying a car to make him escape is a piece of cake."

Seeing that his plan had been completely exposed, Yusaku no longer hid anything and frankly spread his hands: "That's right, I didn't kill anyone. I just wanted that organization to 'think' that I killed him."

"Plus the weapons you provided, that should be enough to deter those treacherous individuals!"

Shiraishi E narrowed her eyes and said, "The idea is good, but you have too many 'ideas'."

"If you want to buy weapons from me again, the market price will be 30% higher!"

Yusaku smiled bitterly, knowing this was the price of deceiving the other party.

Fortunately, the other party only raised prices, rather than severing cooperation.

“No problem,” he said, taking out a pre-prepared order from his pocket. “When can you expect it to be ready?” he asked.

Shiraishi glanced at the procurement list handed to her by Yusaku—C4 plastic bombs made up the majority, long guns were few, but short guns were plentiful.

Clearly, these weapons are geared towards self-defense rather than offense.

"When do you need it?" he asked, glancing at his funds in the Bandit Mall.

Since learning that Elena Miyano was still alive, Ai's experiments have become significantly more frequent, and the expenses have also increased.

Although we can still manage, it's never a good feeling to see the money dwindling day by day.

Now that Kudo Yusaku has joined the organization and started working for Karasuma Renya, we definitely need to extract some gold coins from him!
"The sooner the better," Yusaku Kudo said.

Working with these dangerous guys, he felt utterly unsafe without any protection on him!
Shiraishi E said slowly, "Today's delivery will cost double the price—"

Before he could finish speaking, Yusaku decisively said, "Let's pick up the goods today!! Please deliver those things to my hotel room!"

“…Okay.” Seeing how readily he agreed, Shiraishi E felt a little regretful.

I'm definitely not cut out to be a shrewd businessman!

The price should be several times higher!

------------

Inside the luxurious banquet hall of the twin-tower skyscraper.

The guests raised their glasses and chatted, their laughter and chatter filling the air.

Sudden--

"boom!!!"

A deafening explosion came from the direction of the hotel's main entrance, and the entire building seemed to tremble for a moment.

The glasses swayed on the tray, champagne spilled, and screams erupted.

"what happened?!"

"Was it a terrorist attack?!"

"........."

The guests were in a panic; some crouched down to hide, while others ran around frantically.

Judy quickly walked to the French windows and, seeing the explosion at the door, realized that Yusaku had begun to act.

She quickly pulled her phone out of her purse, dialed a number, and said in a low voice, "The operation has begun. Send someone to meet me immediately!"

After hanging up the phone, her sharp eyes scanned everyone in the banquet hall, searching for any possible members of the organization.

Soon, Judy noticed a short-haired woman in a black evening gown.

The other person had just put down their phone, their expression unusually calm.

Unlike the other guests, she didn't panic. Instead, she moved silently toward the side door. "Something's wrong!" Judy immediately realized something was amiss.

An ordinary person would not be able to remain unresponsive in the face of such an explosion.

She narrowed her eyes and followed without making a sound.

The short-haired woman walked through the corridor and sneaked into several unused guest rooms.

After Judy waited for her to leave, she quickly sneaked into one of the rooms and began her investigation.

"This is... a bomb?!" Her pupils suddenly contracted.

In the corner of the room, a time bomb lay quietly, the number 01:0:00 on the display screen counting down.

Judy immediately checked the other rooms, and found that each one had been planted with the same bomb!
"Oh no..." She immediately pulled out her phone, ready to call for backup.

But at this moment——

"boom!"

A sharp side kick struck her wrist, sending her phone flying.

Judy looked up abruptly and met the short-haired woman's cold smile.

"FBI agents are really a nuisance."

Judy realized she had been ambushed. She quickly adjusted her posture, rolled to create distance, and then used a backhand elbow strike to force her opponent back.

The woman in black sneered, her movements as swift as a ghost, each move aimed straight for vital points.

The two women grappled in the room, exchanging blows and kicks, with Judy gradually losing ground.

“Your fighting skills are not bad,” the short-haired woman mocked, “but not good enough.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than she delivered a powerful punch to Judy's abdomen.

At the same time, Judy punched the short-haired woman in the face.

Both were attacked.

The short-haired woman took two steps back and stopped, but a colored contact lens was knocked out.

Judy groaned, clutching her lower abdomen with both hands, and knelt on the ground.

She looked at the woman in front of her with pain, only to discover that the woman had heterochromia!

With this thought in mind, she collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.

The short-haired woman glanced down at her, then went over, tied her up, and stuffed her into the closet.

Meanwhile, inside the banquet hall.

Akemi, disguised as Shiraishi E, chatted calmly with Ran and Sonoko.

"That was terrifying!" Sonoko said, patting her chest, still shaken.

"Yes, it exploded suddenly. I hope no one was in the car." Xiaolan said worriedly to the burning vehicle.

“The perpetrator escaped too quickly; it’s obvious they came prepared.” Akemi mimicked Shiraishi E’s way of speaking.

While the three were talking, Kudo Yusaku, who had returned to the banquet, suddenly walked over.

"Excuse me for disturbing you." His expression was grave. "Have you seen Miss Judy?"

"Huh? She was just here..." Xiaolan looked around in confusion.

Sonoko shook her head and said, "I didn't notice."

Yusaku frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered to Shiraishi E, "Shiraishi-kun, may I speak to you in private?"

Akemi was somewhat surprised, but in order not to give herself away, she nodded: "Of course."

The two walked to a corner, Yusaku's expression more serious than ever before.

“I’m sorry to bother you, but the situation is more serious than I thought.” He lowered his voice: “I originally came to eliminate the traitors in the organization and retrieve the intelligence, but someone beat me to it and took the data.”

"I suspect... there's an undercover agent within the FBI. Judy might have discovered something, which is why she disappeared."

Akemi said in a low voice, "You want me to help you find her?"

Yuzu nodded and handed over a cell phone: "They're watching me very closely right now, and I can't get away. Please... this has her phone's location on it."

After a moment's thought, Mingmei finally took the phone: "I'll do my best."

Yusaku breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."

As he hurriedly turned to leave, he was anxious to investigate who had taken the hard drive.
