I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 466? Bourbon Whiskey is the mole? When did this happen?
Hondo Emi was secretly watching her younger brother's movements.

Hondo Eisuke's decision to go to Kogoro Mouri's office made her slightly hesitant, because she had previously asked Kogoro Mouri to investigate the paranormal phenomenon of someone ringing her doorbell every day but no one answered the door.

—Well, the truth behind that request was that the neighbor's kid was making a fuss by ringing her doorbell.

However, Kogoro Mouri was aware of her appearance.

If Kogoro Mouri really brings Eisuke Hondo directly to her, that would be troublesome. Her identity cannot be exposed. If the Black Organization notices Eisuke Hondo, they might follow the clues to find out about her father.

Then, not only Hondo Eisuke, but even she will probably be doomed.

Besides that, she felt something was off.

Her CIA contact told her that they would send someone to protect Hondo Eisuke, but she still hasn't found the CIA's people. Is it because the CIA's people are too powerful, or did they not come at all?
Hondo Emi stared at that spot for a while, and only after seeing Kogoro Mouri and the others get into the car and leave did she prepare to go back.

Although she didn't know what was going on, the atmosphere in the organization seemed a bit heavy lately. As a CIA agent infiltrating the Black Organization, she needed to understand the internal workings of the organization to some extent, and couldn't just keep focusing on her brother.

However, just as Hondo Emi was about to return home and turned the corner, she was attacked.

Hondo Hidemi was surprised by who attacked her.

"Bourbon whiskey, what are you doing?"

Hondo Eikai's expression was rather unpleasant.

She had met with Bourbon Whiskey at Poirot Cafe before, and at that time, the two sides had at least reached a cooperation agreement on the surface. Why is Bourbon Whiskey acting like it's gone crazy today, and starting a fight right away?
Moreover, isn't this force a bit stronger than before?

In response to Hondo Eikai's words, Bourbon Whiskey simply said in a low voice.

“Kier, you don’t need to know too much.”

The next moment, bourbon whiskey struck again.

His strength and speed were superior to Hondo Eikai's, so Hondo Eikai could only fight and retreat. Finally, he kicked over a nearby trash can, barely blocking Bourbon Whiskey's advance, before leaping onto his parked car and driving away.

Hondo Hidemi only breathed a sigh of relief when the bourbon whiskey was far behind him.

Regardless of Bourbon Whiskey's reasons for attacking her.

While still unsure of the situation, she chose to avoid combat as much as possible, avoiding direct conflict with other codenamed members of the Black Organization. However, now that she had shaken off Bourbon Whiskey, that meant—

Jingle Bell.

The phone rings.

Hondou Eikai frowned and pressed the answer button with some doubt.

The phone call was directly connected to her earpiece, and the next moment, Gin's voice came from the other end of the line. Gin's voice was calm and indifferent as he spoke.

“Kier, bourbon might be the mole. Tell me, how much do you know about bourbon?”

Although Gin has gained some information about bourbon whiskey, it is temporarily on the same side as bourbon whiskey.

However, he still hadn't changed his mind about killing bourbon. Asking Kiel about bourbon now was naturally a preparation for killing bourbon later.

Huh? Bourbon whiskey was the mole? When did this happen?
Hondou Eikai frowned as he spoke.

"If that's the case, then it makes sense."

“Gin, when I was checking the area, I encountered bourbon whiskey. Without a word, it attacked me, and I almost got hurt…” “What did you say?”

Gin interrupted Hondo Hidemi, his surprise clearly visible in his voice.

He was certainly surprised, because he knew exactly where the bourbon whiskey was now.

Bourbon was in the room. Vodka stayed with Bourbon, supposedly to familiarize Bourbon with the situation, but in reality, he was monitoring Bourbon to prevent him from sending messages out or leaving.

After all, Curaçao's description, given her photographic memory, is far too authoritative.

However, Hondo Hidemi's words gave him a bad feeling, because he remembered that he had been under security scrutiny for a period of time because someone had impersonated him and attacked Pisk.

Perhaps today's bourbon whiskey is repeating the same mistakes.

Gin said in a low voice,

Are you sure the person you met was bourbon whiskey?

“Bourbon Whiskey is right next to me. He couldn’t possibly be there to attack you unless you’ve encountered someone other than Bourbon Whiskey. Is his voice and appearance exactly the same as the Bourbon Whiskey you know?”

Upon hearing this, Hondo Hidemi recalled for a moment and then gave an affirmative answer.

"Of course, it's exactly as I remember it."

—Really? There really are two bourbon whiskeys?

A hint of doubt appeared in Gin's eyes.

He didn't quite believe this fact; rather, he suspected that it was a decoy created by Bourbon Whiskey to exonerate itself, merely to allow Bourbon Whiskey to clear its name.

Gin didn't say much, but prepared to hang up the phone.

I sensed Gin's sudden silence.

Having worked with Gin for a while before, and to be precise, still a member of Gin's task force, it's just that Gin doesn't include her. Hondo Emi immediately realized that Gin was about to hang up and quickly asked...
"Gin, what happened?"

"Why is Bourbon Whiskey the mole? When did this happen? No one has told me anything about it. Is it some kind of confidential information I can't know?"

Gin:?
Didn't Vermouth tell you?
Last night, Vermouth called everyone over to ensure a fair trial regarding his security clearance with bourbon whiskey. Kiel wasn't there, and Vermouth assumed Kiel had something come up and couldn't make it.

It turns out that Vermouth simply didn't tell Kiel about the meeting.

Gin was somewhat speechless.
However, he still said in a low voice,

"Come to the temporary headquarters later. I'll have Vodka compile a summary. You can just look at the summary Vodka makes. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask Vodka. Don't bother me."

"that's it."

The phone hangs up.

Hondo Emi simply sighed at this.

Well, anyway, at least Gin's reaction was to have Vodka relay the message instead of telling her to just get lost and be discarded after use. In this respect, Gin has become quite humane.

Let's head to the temporary headquarters instead; hopefully, things won't get too complicated then.
