Chapter 379 Rest Time
The last train from Nagano Prefecture to Tokyo departs at Karuizawa Station at 10:30 PM.

After finishing dealing with Hiroshi Akimoto's case, it was already 12:30 AM, clearly too late to catch the last bus back to Tokyo. However, Chen En had anticipated this.

The vehicle has now arrived at the booked hotel.

The hotel receptionist was taken aback when she saw the group of people walking into the hotel at this hour.
He glanced at the room sign next to him, and after confirming that there were still a few rooms available, he made his call.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any rooms reserved?"

"If not, we now only have two double rooms, three single rooms, and..."

Upon hearing what the counter staff said, Sonoko Suzuki's face instantly turned red.
However, the next moment, Chen En calmly said,

"Rooms 203 and 204, both twin rooms, I already called this morning to make a reservation. Please check the records. If everything is correct, please give me the keys."

He quickly recited the identity information he had given when booking the room, and upon hearing this, the front desk staff immediately checked the computer records.

Hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

But while she breathed a sigh of relief, she also felt a strange, faint sense of loss, because she felt that the scene almost perfectly matched the content of a morning drama she had once watched.

What are you thinking about now?

Ran Mouri suddenly peeked out from the side.

She blinked, and seeing this, Sonoko Suzuki hurriedly grabbed the key to room 204, pushed Ran Mouri towards the stairwell, and fled as if escaping, not forgetting to throw out a sentence.
"I'm sharing a room with Xiaolan tonight, Ah-en, please take care of the little rascal!"

Watching Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri hurriedly disappear into the stairwell one after the other.

Conan smirked, glanced at his watch, and then followed Chen En, who had taken the keys and was heading towards the stairwell. On the way, he couldn't help but ask...
"I'm curious, how did you get involved with other police officers again? And why are you looking for contacts in such a far-off place?"

"Do you know Morofushi Takaaki? Who is that police officer you mentioned who has a close relationship with Morofushi Takaaki's brother and is becoming increasingly ruthless in his actions? Since you know about this relationship, why don't you just go find his brother?"

Chen En: ?
Ignorance is no excuse, otherwise I really would have used the Bat Fist on you.

Chen En grabbed the doorknob of room 203, turned it, and led Conan inside. After placing the key on the table, he then answered,
"I mentioned it to you before. Do you remember the day you advised me not to harm Makoto Kusakabe?"

—Makoto Kusakabe?
Conan sat on the bed, stroking his chin, pondering the situation.
Then, he finally recalled what had happened that day and said with some surprise,
"You mean [Rei Furuya]?"

That happened almost three hundred chapters ago. Back then, Chen En explained to him the real name of the Japanese Public Security officer who was tracking Kusakabe Makoto, as well as the code name of his undercover agent within the Black Organization. He was actually quite interested in Furuya Rei.

However, they never met again, and Chen En had given him too much information about the Black Organization during that period.

He had become somewhat desensitized to information about the Black Organization, which was why he hadn't asked any further questions. He never expected Chen En to bring up that name again at this crucial moment.

"Yes, Rei Furuya, bourbon whiskey, Tooru Amuro."

Chen En said calmly,
“Rei Furuya’s behavior is becoming more and more extreme. If beating him up in the future doesn’t solve the problem, then I’ll have Takaaki Morofushi try to reform him. If that still doesn’t solve the problem, then I’ll send him to a sanatorium for a while.”

"As for Morofushi Takaaki's younger brother... Morofushi Takaaki's younger brother is also a Japanese public security officer, and he is also an undercover agent."

"His name was Morofushi Hiromitsu, codenamed Scotch Whisky within the organization. Because his identity was exposed, he committed suicide to avoid implicating other undercover agents. At the time, there was another FBI undercover agent with Morofushi Hiromitsu."

"Kagemitsu Morofushi committed suicide using the undercover agent's gun, which led to frequent conflicts between Rei Furuya and the FBI undercover agent."

At this point, Chen En glanced at Conan and asked,

"Did I tell you this before?" He shook his head and then said,
"The FBI undercover agent's name was Shuichi Akai, alias Dai Moroboshi, codename Rye Whiskey, and he was in a relationship with Akemi Miyano. His appearance disrupted my entire rescue plan for Akemi and Shiho Miyano..."

"No, let's not talk about that. Anyway, Morofushi Hiromitsu and Furuya Rei were best friends back in police academy,"

"He mentioned Morofushi Takaaki to Furuya Rei, and Morofushi Takaaki had also met with Furuya Rei. Both knew each other's identities. With Morofushi Kagemitsu dead, only Morofushi Takaaki might be able to persuade Furuya Rei to come back."

"Of course, it's just a precaution, and I don't have high hopes for it."

Chen En sat on another bed and asked,
Have you thought about how you'll enjoy the Cocoon game when you return to Tokyo tomorrow?

Conan:?
Why did you suddenly bring this up?

------

"I heard that Cocoon Games is a virtual reality game, Xiaolan. I'll get you a test qualification when it's released!"

Sonoko Suzuki said with a grin to her best friend,

After all, as one of the investors in Cocoon Games, the Suzuki Group could easily obtain the game testing qualifications from several invited guests who were absent.
Of the fifty slots for the cocoon game, the Suzuki Group can probably snag at least ten.

However, Ran Mouri didn't seem to care much about the Cocoon Game.

She braced herself on the bed with both hands and asked with some curiosity,

"Will you and Mr. Chen En play the cocoon game together then?"

Hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki raised her eyebrows and said,

"How could that be? I'm not interested in that at all."

"Moreover, it seems that Arne doesn't intend to play the game. He seems to just want to go to the Cocoon Games site to see how this groundbreaking virtual game is going and prepare for his future entrepreneurial venture."

—Is Mr. Chen En about to start his own business?

Ran Mouri looked somewhat surprised and asked,

"Hey, really?"

"Why did Mr. Chen En suddenly decide to start his own business?"

At this point, Ran Mouri, thinking of the seemingly rapidly escalating relationship between Sonoko and Chen En, said in surprise,

"Ah, could it be that it's because..."

At this point, Sonoko Suzuki became a little embarrassed.

But he still said in a low voice.
"Well, it's what you think."

"A-En started the business because she decided to meet my mom with me after the Cocoon Games announcement. My mom values ​​my boyfriend's abilities a lot, so A-En needs to demonstrate some of those abilities before she'll agree to the relationship... But I think A-En will be fine. He's the most outstanding person I've ever met!"

"In any aspect!"
