Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 130 "Imprisonment" of Kudo

It’s not that Rei Furuya doesn’t believe that Kudo Shinichi will be attacked by members of the organization, but he doesn’t believe that Kudo Shinichi can survive being attacked by Gin.

Who is Gin? He is the loyal dog of the leader of the organization and the most terrifying killer in the organization.

Even the FBI undercover agent was expelled from Tokyo in a miserable manner by Gin. Do you think that a high school student like Kudo Shinichi can escape from Gin?
What’s the matter? Kudo Shinichi is also a Wolf Warrior from the island country?
Conversation is a way to obtain information. Both Furuya Rei and Kudo Yusaku obtain information from each other through conversation.

At the moment, Kudo Yusaku has a slight advantage. Although the electronic sound coming from the speaker cannot make Kudo Yusaku recognize the voice of Furuya Rei.

But you can hear the tone of his voice at this moment.

Kudo Yusaku knew Furuya Rei. Or rather, the Japanese Public Security Bureau knew that organization and who Gin was.

Furuya Rei immediately realized he'd lost his composure, a slip that revealed a lot of information. But it didn't matter; acquiring intelligence was never a one-time deal. Besides, he was the one who had the upper hand.

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure. But as far as I know, that man called Gin has rarely failed since his debut.

The last time he failed was at the hands of an FBI undercover agent. Mr. Kudo said that your son survived Gin by luck.

I don’t quite believe it.”

The information about Gin was exposed. In fact, Fūya Zero had plenty of information about Gin.

It wouldn't be difficult to find a way to capture Gin.

This is the difference between Rei Furuya and Shuichi Akai, both members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau. The first is a question of stance.

Although both Furuya Rei and Akai Shuichi are classified as the red camp by many fans, they are essentially different from each other despite being on the red camp.

One is the Japanese Public Security Bureau and the other is the FBI. The difference between the two organizations has created their natural "hostile" stance.

What Shuichi Akai's FBI needs is intelligence about the organization. Although the organization also operates in the United States, it is obvious that the United States is not the base of the winery.

Otherwise, Shuichi Akai wouldn't have come all the way to the island country to go undercover.

Because they were operating in a different location, the FBI was eager to achieve their goal. For them, eradicating the criminal organization of the winery was important but not that important. However, understanding what the winery was really trying to do was more important.

So they hastily launched a plan to capture Shuichi Akai when he had just gained a foothold inside the winery, and then "sold" Shuichi Akai because of a stupid teammate.

The valley is zero different.

Rei Furuya is a Japanese public security officer, tasked with eradicating the distilleries within the country. Although Rei Furuya is more trusted by the distilleries than Shuichi Akai, he has not yet gained access to any of the core secrets.

He doesn't even have many subordinates.

Arresting Gin wasn't difficult, but Rei Furuya wasn't sure he could extract information from Gin, a die-hard fan of the distillery. If their arrest led to the distillery moving underground, that would undoubtedly be even more difficult.

By then, the Bourbon vest would probably be useless, and it would be extremely difficult to send an undercover agent to the winery to gain the trust of the upper management.

Therefore, Gin's information is really not that important. What is important is whether we can get more important information from Kudo Yusaku after throwing out Gin's information.

"They fed Shinichi a medicine." Kudo Yusaku's head is now wrapped in a black cloth. If it weren't for this black cloth, his glasses would be reflecting light now.

"According to what Gin said, they should have died of natural causes, and even an autopsy wouldn't reveal the cause of their death.

But in fact"

Kudo Yusaku stopped talking here, and then he would tell the Japanese public security department the truth.

But just meeting like that to hear the truth was clearly not an option. From the outset, Kudo Yusaku and Furuya Rei were vying for control of the conversation. "Poison that leaves no trace of the cause of death." As soon as Kudo Yusaku mentioned Furuya Rei, he knew what he was describing.

APTX-4869, a prototype poison developed by the organization. The distillery prized it so highly that even a code-named cadre like him needed to apply in advance if he wanted to use it on a mission.

There is also a high chance that the application will be rejected.

As far as Rei Fūya knows, there are levels for applying for this poison, and only cadres with the code name of a wine are eligible to apply for this medicine.

Once used, the cadre will also be responsible for the subsequent cleanup and tracking work.

Generally speaking, winery officials would not choose such complicated means to carry out their tasks.

If you really want to kill someone, wouldn't you just shoot them? Every single person who works at the winery doesn't like to cause trouble.

Even Rei Furuya's personality at the winery is like this: as long as you don't disturb me while I'm working, you can do whatever you want.

According to Jōgō Rei, no one has survived the drug A since it was developed to the "human experiment" stage.

Now the question is, if what Kudo Yusaku said is true, then Kudo Shinichi survived both Gin and Drug A at the same time.

If Gin knew this, it would be a big joke.

Furiya Rei's eyes flickered. Is the information in Kudo Yusaku's hands, or the information in Kudo Shinichi's hands, worth the risk?

"Mr. Kudo, may I know where your son is now?"

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't tell you that."

"So, can you tell me about this little kid named Edogawa Conan?"

Fūya Rei changed the subject and shifted the topic directly to Conan, the elementary school student.

In the end, there was no trace of Conan in this series of events, but Rei Furuya never forgot that it all started because of this kid named Edogawa Conan.

According to Yuya Kazami's investigation, this Edogawa Conan is an illegal resident - a distant relative of the Kudo family, a child living in someone else's home is actually an illegal resident.

Is this possible? Is this realistic?
Edogawa Conan is destined to be an obstacle that Kudo Yusaku cannot avoid.

"I'm sorry, Officer. I can't say anything about that child." Kudo Yusaku was secretly melancholy. The reason he mentioned Gin and Kudo Shinichi was to cover for Conan.

No matter how he defends himself or tries to seize the initiative, Conan is destined to be a huge flaw.

This flaw is the kind that cannot be made up for. He can only divert other people's attention but cannot erase Conan's traces.

This was the first time that Kudo Yusaku regretted that he should not have played this joke on Conan. If he had known this would happen, he should not have allowed Professor Agasa to send Conan to the Mori family.

But the reality is that there is not so much that can be known in advance, so he can only remain silent about the questions raised by Fūya Rei.

"Well, since Mr. Kudo doesn't want to talk about it, let's end this meeting.

We are sorry, Mr. Kudo, that for some reasons we cannot release you directly, but don't worry, it is safe here and you and your wife can stay here temporarily without worry.

If you need anything, you can contact me.”
