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

Chapter 565 Yusaku's Migraine (1st Update)
The Suzuki family's private collection is located in the west wing of the estate, with its heavy mahogany doors carved with intricate Suzuki family crests.

After entering the password and undergoing an iris scan, the gate slowly opened.

"Welcome to the Suzuki family's treasure trove!" Sonoko announced triumphantly, spreading her arms wide.

The museum has a spacious interior and uses shadowless lighting to ensure that every piece of the collection is presented perfectly.

The bulletproof glass display cases are neatly arranged, and the security system is so tight that even a fly flying by will be scanned by laser.

Sonoko skipped and hopped to the first display case, pointing to the deep blue-black gem inside, as dark as the night sky: "Look! This is the 'Dark Star'! The one that Kaito Kid—no, I mean Shinichi—stole disguised as Kid last time!"

Xiaolan leaned closer to the glass and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful..."

Shiraishi E raised an eyebrow: "You just leave it like this at home? Aren't you afraid of being targeted again?"

Sonoko waved her hand dismissively: "Don't worry, the security system is much stronger than last time! Besides, if Shinichi really did steal it, and he dares not to return it, I'll complain to Aunt Yukiko!!"

She led the two of them forward, stopping in front of a vibrant oil painting: "Look, this is a Van Gogh painting... I can't remember exactly which one, but it was very expensive!"

Ran and Shiraishi E exchanged a glance and smiled helplessly.

Rare treasures that are hard to find elsewhere are piled up like mountains here.

The lives of the wealthy are always so simple and unpretentious.

Reaching the center of the exhibition hall, Sonoko suddenly pointed mysteriously to a crystal display case containing an egg inlaid with rubies: "This is called the 'Memory Egg,' and it's going to be sent to the Suzuki Museum of Art in Osaka for exhibition next weekend. Uncle Jirokichi wants to use it to lure Shinichi out!"

Ran tilted her head, somewhat puzzled: "Kaito Ki... Isn't Shinichi only interested in jewels? How could this Easter egg attract him?"

Sonoko shrugged: "Who knows? Anyway, Uncle Jirokichi thinks it's feasible!"

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she turned to Shiraishi E. "E! How about we go to Osaka next weekend to join the fun? We've never been to Osaka together before!"

Shiraishi E thought for a moment and nodded, "Sure, I don't have anything to do lately anyway."

Ran couldn't help but facepalm: "Sonoko, you were just kidnapped... Instead of staying home, you're running around outside? Aren't you afraid of getting into danger again?"

Sonoko put her hands on her hips and chuckled, "Those kidnappers would never expect me to be out again so soon! Besides—" She grabbed Shiraishi E's arm, "Isn't E protecting me?"

Shiraishi E nodded calmly: "Yes, with me here, no one can touch you."

Sonoko was quite satisfied with the answer, and looked at Ran expectantly: "What about you? Do you want to come along?"

Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I want to go see my mom next weekend to ask her about some investment matters."

Sonoko nodded knowingly: "Ah, that makes sense."

After visiting the collection, Yuanzi enthusiastically took them to the underground wine cellar.

In a temperature- and humidity-controlled space, thousands of bottles of top-quality red wine are neatly displayed, the oldest of which dates back to 1865.

In the central tasting area of ​​the wine cellar, crystal chandeliers reflect amber light, creating the feeling of being in a noble salon.

Next up is a private IMAX theater, equipped with the most advanced 4D effects system.

Sonoko proudly demonstrated the vibrating chair, but the intensity was set too high, almost shaking Shiraishi E to the ground, which made Ran laugh non-stop.

Finally, they arrived at the rooftop garden.

In the 3000-square-meter vertical garden, rare blue roses gleam dreamily under the moonlight, while ancient bonsai stand quietly, as if telling the story of time.

Inside the glass observatory, professional-grade astronomical telescopes are pointed at the night sky, allowing a clear view of Jupiter's stripes.

After walking around, all three of them were a little tired.

Sonoko personally took Shiraishi E to the VIP room—a spacious suite comparable to a presidential suite in a five-star hotel!
"Get some rest! See you tomorrow!" Sonoko waved and pulled Ran towards her room.

Ran turned around and glanced at Shiraishi E standing at the door, then whispered, "Goodnight, E."

Shiraishi E nodded: "Good night."

He closed the door, casually unbuttoned his collar, and walked to the liquor cabinet in the corner of the room.

He glanced at the dazzling array of wines, casually pulled out a bottle of Lafite, and skillfully used a corkscrew to remove the cork.

The amber-colored liquid was poured into a crystal glass, where it shimmered with a deep red hue under the light.

He picked up his wine glass, sat down on the sofa, and took out his phone to call Yusaku Kudo.

"Ding—" The sound of the phone connecting was particularly clear in the quiet room. "Mr. Kudo, are you aware of the big event that just happened?" Shiraishi E took a sip of red wine and asked directly.

A slightly tired voice came from the other end of the phone: "I received the message."

He paused, his tone tinged with admiration, "To be honest, I didn't expect that Shiraishi-kun could single-handedly fight back against that level of firepower and even rescue Sonoko-san safely. That skill is truly astonishing!"

Shiraishi E swirled her wine glass and said, "That's not the point of my meeting with you... The point is those kidnappers. Do you know who they are?"

"Hmm?" Yusaku's voice clearly became curious: "Who is it?"

“Organization members,” Shiraishi said, emphasizing each word, “a guy called ‘Soto’ is leading the team.”

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a few seconds of incredulous voice from Yusaku: "No way? How come I didn't receive a message?"

He once wondered if he had been sidelined.

But the boss doesn't need to do that. If the other party doesn't trust him, he can just leave. Why play the role of a fictitious entity?
"You'll find out soon enough," Shiraishi E said, taking a sip of her drink.

“…Fine.” Yusaku was quite annoyed, wondering why the other party, as a non-member of the organization, seemed to know so much about the organization’s internal dynamics.

He asked, "Mr. Shiraishi, what about that... Soto wine now?"

“Dead,” Shiraishi E said bluntly. “Those I killed with one shot are all torn to pieces.”

He paused, then continued, "During this kidnapping operation, there was a foreign woman who was caught by me when I was arresting Sonoko, but she escaped later. She threatened me, saying she would make me regret it."

Yuzuru immediately understood: "I understand. I will find out her identity as soon as possible and notify you immediately if I have any news."

"Yes, thank you for your help." Shiraishi E downed her drink in one gulp. "I don't like the feeling of being someone's concern."

After hanging up the phone, Yusaku Kudo scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "What was all this about..."

He was about to use his encrypted laptop to log into the organization's internal system when his phone suddenly rang again.

The caller ID displayed only had one letter: "B".

Yusaku took a deep breath, composed himself, and answered the phone: "BOSS."

"Yusaku," came the mechanical voice, altered by a voice changer, from the other end of the phone. "Vermouth is already waiting for you downstairs."

"Understood," Yusaku replied briefly.

After hanging up the phone, Yusaku quickly changed into a black suit and hurried towards the entrance.

After he came out of the gate, he saw a black Mercedes parked silently on the side of the road.

The car window rolled down, revealing Vermouth's disguised face—that of an ordinary middle-aged driver.

Yusaku sat in the back seat without hesitation, and Vermouth immediately handed him a black eye mask.

"You know the rules," she said in a low voice.

Yuzaku nodded and put on his blindfold. With the roar of the engine, the vehicle drove into the night.

"What exactly happened?" Yusaku asked in a low voice. "Why would an organization member kidnap the Suzuki family's young lady? How could I, the second-in-command, be completely unaware of it?"

Vermouth glanced at him through the rearview mirror: "The boss is here to back you up."

Her voice carried a hint of mockery: "After you were attacked last time, the BOSS specially recalled a group of elite members from abroad."

Yusaku asked, "And then?"

"And then?" Vermouth sneered. "These so-called 'elite' people got used to being wild abroad, and now they're looking to make some extra money. Somehow they set their sights on the Suzuki family, and a few of them secretly planned this kidnapping."

As the vehicle rounded a sharp bend, Vermouth's voice carried a hint of sarcasm: "You know the result—not only did the operation fail, but we also lost several full-time members and three armed helicopters."

Yusaku couldn't help but facepalm: "These idiots."

"Luckily I wasn't involved in this operation, or I would have been in trouble too," Vermouth said gloatingly. "Anyway, the BOSS is very unhappy right now."

Yuzu leaned back in the leather seat, feeling a sudden headache.

He thought the problems within the organization were complicated enough, but now a bunch of incompetent fools have emerged.
