He felt a lingering fear and subconsciously glanced at Kurosawa beside him.

But he remained calm, clearly having anticipated what was about to happen.

Tequila is truly convinced now.

He had previously thought that Kurosawa was being overly cautious.

In retrospect, it was clearly his own carelessness.

No wonder he's the organization's top assassin.

Gin's ability to sense crises is clearly top-notch.

Agave stood still and took a few deep breaths.

Suppress the lingering fear in your heart.

What followed was a feeling of being played and annoyed.

"Damn it! Who is it?"

Tequila doesn't believe it was all an accident.

Who would put a bomb in a briefcase that explodes when the case is opened?

Moreover, this briefcase just happened to fall into the hands of Hideaki Nakajima!

No, to be precise, it will fall into the hands of Tequila!

Realize this.

Tequila instinctively felt that today's transaction had been exposed.

Someone wants to take this opportunity to get rid of him quietly!

Tequila began to recall the enemies it had recently offended.

He tried to recall the events, but came up with nothing.

Agave is a bit impatient.

If we don't find the culprit, what if this happens again?

Tequila can't guarantee it won't get infected!

In the past, he would have had some confidence because of his keen intuition.

But after what happened today...

Tequila felt she shouldn't rely too much on intuition, something unscientific.

He probably won't be able to find the person who planted the bomb on his own.

Tequila decided to seek outside help.

"G...Kurosawa, sir, who do you think did it?"

Under Kurosawa's gaze, Tequila uttered that awkward title and used honorifics.

"We'll talk about this later."

"Let's go and do the task first."

As for who planted the bomb, that's a matter for Conan to handle.

Kurosawa could already hear the chaotic running sounds and exclamations.

I guess the noise just now attracted everyone's attention.

That being the case.

They can take this opportunity to go to the luggage storage area and find the real box.

As for tequila, its first reaction upon hearing Kurosawa's words was:

He truly deserves to be called a model worker; even at a time like this, he still puts the task first!

But after what just happened, Tequila had absolutely no objection to Kurosawa's decision.

Whatever Gin says goes.

Since Gin chose to do the mission first, there must be a reason for it.

Who knows, maybe the guy who planted the bomb will just pop out on his own later?

With that thought in mind, Tequila followed Kurosawa up the stairs on the other side.

……

When Kurosawa and his companion arrived at the luggage storage area.

Apart from the receptionist behind the counter who was responsible for keeping the items safe.

There was no one around.

Kurosawa gestured for Tequila to give him the key.

This key was brought by Hideaki Nakajima, presumably to match his briefcase.

With this key, we can find the target box.

In addition, as an employee of a game company, Hideaki Nakajima's briefcase features a prominent company logo.

Kurosawa glanced at the cabinet where the items were stored.

They quickly noticed several briefcases that met the criteria.

"Go and lure them away."

Kurosawa said to the agave.

Tequila nodded and walked towards the counter.

He spoke a few words to the receptionist, using a combination of words and gestures.

Then, although the receptionist hesitated for a moment, she left with Tequila.

Seeing this, Kurosawa walked towards the cabinet.

Kurosawa was lucky; when he tried the second briefcase, the key went in smoothly.

Kurosawa continued turning the key without stopping.

With a soft "click," the briefcase opened a small hole.

Kurosawa opened his briefcase and took out a few sheets of paper.

After quickly glancing at it and confirming that it was the list needed for the mission, Kurosawa put the paper away.

Then he locked the briefcase, took out the key, and left.

……

A few minutes later.

Tequila returned with the receptionist.

The receptionist returned to the counter and found nothing unusual.

Agave then came to Kurosawa's side.

"How about it?"

he asked.

Kurosawa nodded and handed him the paper with the list written on it.

Although it was somewhat expected, Tequila still felt a bit of a sigh when she saw that Kurosawa had actually obtained the list needed for the mission.

No wonder everyone in the organization is used to informing Gin before going on a mission.

Having someone like that back you up makes you feel really safe.

Although this person might sometimes shoot you for some reason.

But Gin doesn't seem to have that same chilling and terrifying aura he used to have today?

And with this outfit...

Tequila looked at Kurosawa and still felt something was off.

He silently looked away and continued to ask.

Do you have any leads on that person?

Just as Kurosawa was about to answer, he caught a glimpse of an elementary school student rapidly approaching them.

Kurosawa immediately shut his mouth and handed the briefcase containing cash to Tequila.

Just as Tequila was wondering what was going on, Conan spotted the two people standing there.

Of course, the main reason I saw Kurosawa was because of this.

He paused, then turned and ran towards this direction.

"Kurosawa-nii!"

Conan greeted them and then asked.

"Did you just arrive?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Conan pressed for more information.

"Where did you come from? Have you been to that staircase?"

Conan pointed in the direction of the explosion.

Kurosawa shook his head, indicating that he came from the other side.

Conan was somewhat disappointed.

But then I thought, if Kurosawa had just come up from where the explosion occurred, he might have been affected.

In that case, it would be better to approach it from the other side.

At least people are safe.

With that in mind, Conan briefly explained what had happened to Kurosawa.
