Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 381 The Black Organization Wants to Catch a Big Fish!
Yuri didn't reply. He covered his mouth and nose and walked around the room. Although it was charred black, some clues could still be seen.

"There appeared to be no signs of a struggle at the scene."

The undercover agent paused for a moment, then explained, "He was shot dead before he could react."

The tables and chairs were in the correct positions, there were no extra bullet holes, and only three shots were fired at the scene!
Yuri shook his head, pointing to the first corpse at the door: "Even if the assassin used a silenced pistol to kill the first person, the other two are professional agents, so it's impossible that they didn't notice at all."

"Even if they didn't react immediately, the third person would definitely have noticed when the second person was killed and would have started to run away. If that's the case, the positions of the two people inside who died are illogical."

"Boss, what do you mean?"

Yuri observed for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the person who opened the door was likely an inside agent of the assassin. The two of them fired at the two people inside at the same time, which is why there were no signs of a struggle."

"If that's the case, then how come he still died?"

The spy scratched his head. If that's the case, then this inside man is in a really bad way.

"That's why they burned the body. This body was definitely just a scapegoat that was moved here randomly. The mole must have hidden inside the cart and left."

"Even if the DNA of the body can be verified, it won't be done in a short time. They took that into account..."

Yuri was somewhat exhausted. He really didn't know how to explain this situation to the CIA. Although he already had an answer, the CIA certainly wouldn't accept it.

For the CIA, this incident was a convenient excuse to send more agents to Japan under the pretext of an agent's death, and even to take the lead in Louis's arrest operation.

The CIA is absolutely capable of doing this.

Yuri even had more outlandish ideas: maybe these three were sent by the CIA to their deaths in order to seize the initiative in capturing Louis!

"Boss, should we slow down our operation against Louis?"

Do you think the CIA will agree?

"But three of them are already dead."

"Heh, keep the news a secret for now, and send two people to Spider Ridge in Tottori Prefecture to scout the area."

He suspected that the Black Organization might have made some arrangements in Tottori Prefecture, using Louis as bait, with the Public Security Bureau and the CIA as their real targets!
The reason for killing the CIA agents was likely because they felt three people were not enough, and they wanted to provoke the CIA into sending more agents.

The Black Organization wants to catch a big fish.

We should scout the location first and see how things go before taking any rash action. The Blue Castle incident is still fresh in our minds; if things turn out the same way, we'll lose face big time.

The CIA, knowing this, will definitely send more people into the country. If a large number of agents appear in Japan, the police can't just ignore it, which creates a vicious cycle.

However, this idea was merely wishful thinking on Yuri's part.

Before he could figure things out and formulate a detailed plan, he had just returned to the public security base when he received pressure from the CIA.

The CIA has already received news of the deaths of three agents!
It is said that one of the three agents sent a message before he died, saying that the three of them had been attacked by the Black Organization and needed support.

Yuri understood.

My guess was absolutely right!
In that situation, the agent would have absolutely no chance to send a message back; the agent who opened the door must be the mole!

This means their plans to arrest and search Louis have likely been leaked!
That despicable CIA, one bad apple spoils the whole bunch.

As Yuri had predicted, the CIA then issued a strong condemnation of the Public Security Bureau, citing the death of an agent in Japan, and sent over a list.

The plane arrived in the early morning, carrying fifteen CIA agents who were to investigate the deaths of the first three victims. Whether they were investigating the cause of death or were there for Louis's sake, their true intentions were obvious to everyone.

The CIA also stated that they had obtained accurate information about Louis and would share intelligence upon arrival before jointly apprehending him.

Yuri rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that he knew it. The Black Organization was setting a trap, and a huge net covering the police and the CIA was already hanging over their heads, while the CIA was unaware of it.

However, since the CIA has already taken action, their police force has no choice but to follow suit, and the arrest of Louis must proceed.

Furthermore, this is neon!

The fact that the black-clad organization was brazenly setting up a scheme on the police's territory was truly disrespectful to the police, and Yuri couldn't tolerate it!
Meanwhile, Xia Chuan and Calvados strolled around for an hour, making sure they weren't being followed, before returning to the distillery base.

Calvados disappeared in a flash upon arriving at the base; he must have gone to find Vermouth.

Natsukawa really wanted to tell her that Vermouth was now working as a school doctor at Teitan High School, and even after get off work, she might have already gone to Tottori Prefecture and wouldn't be at the base at all.

But Calvados was just too fast.

Sasaeng fans are truly terrifying.

Xia Chuan saw a bit of Frank in him; that's how Frank was when he was a fan of celebrities.

No, Calvados is even crazier; he'd even die for Vermouth.

Would Frank die for Yukiko Kudo? No, he could only learn to drive for Yukiko Kudo, and even then, he'd get a ticket for driving too slowly.

High judgment.

After wandering around for a while, Natsukawa discovered that Gin was not at the base. He called to inquire about the situation and learned that there was a problem in Tottori Prefecture.

Vodka did see Louis, but after exchanging only a few words, Louis turned and ran, even firing a shot at Kiel before he left.

Xia Chuan knew without even thinking that Kiel must have done something to arouse Louis's suspicion.

Just as Xia Chuan had thought.

Louis was already resentful about who had exposed his whereabouts. Vodka and Kiel's sudden appearance in Tottori Prefecture made him realize that Gin had been the one who interfered with his exposure and the police's arrest operation, providing intelligence support.

Finding that the police had failed to apprehend him, they dispatched their trusted lieutenant, Vodka!
Coupled with Kiel's hostility and subtle gun-drawing gesture, Louis immediately lost his temper! After firing the shot, he fled deep into Puppet Ridge.

Louis's condition was unexpected by Gin, and to prevent the plan from going wrong again, he went to Tottori Prefecture immediately.

The plan changed, and a huge hole was torn in the tightly woven web. Gin was in a real bind and had no choice but to force Louis to be used as bait, while Vermouth provided mobile support.

Gin didn't let Natsukawa come along, which gave Natsukawa a slightly more relaxed opportunity.

Taking advantage of this time, Natsukawa informed Frank to leak Louis's information to the FBI. However, this time it was not through the IRS. Shuichi Akai already harbored resentment towards the IRS's intelligence channels and seemed to be secretly investigating them, so naturally, he couldn't give them the opportunity.

After doing all that, Xia Chuan's phone, which he had just put down, rang again.

I initially thought it was Gin calling, but after some consideration, I decided to send him over for support.

When I picked it up, I was surprised to find that it was Yuri calling.

Xia Chuan slowly answered the phone: "Oh, it's my brother-in-law. How are you feeling? Have you been feeling any better these past few days?"
