Gin doesn't want to work hard

After all, he had seen how Ai Haibara acted when facing members of the organization.

Even so, I insist on going with them...

Is he really that unreliable?

Conan had some doubts.

But he still offered words of comfort.

"Don't worry, no one will recognize us."

"Kacha."

No sooner had Conan finished speaking than the sound of a camera taking pictures rang out.

Conan was startled and instinctively looked up.

But then he saw Kurosawa holding a camera and taking another picture of him.

So, where did the camera come from?

No, that's not the point.

"Kurosawa-kun, what are you doing?"

He calmly put away his camera.

"This is the first time I've seen you dressed like this, so I'm taking a picture to remember it."

Conan: ...

He opened his mouth as if to say something.

But when Conan saw Kurosawa's innocent and naive eyes, he silently swallowed his words.

Never mind, it's just taking a picture, it's not a big deal.

Conan silently comforted himself.

Seeing this, Ai Haibara, who was standing to the side, curled her lips slightly.

After this interruption, her tension eased considerably.

"To be honest, this outfit suits you quite well, Edogawa."

Ai Haibara even had the mood to make a joke.

Conan rolled his eyes at their words and turned to look out the window, ignoring them.

……

"arrive."

Professor Agasa parked the car on the side of the road.

Right next door is our destination, Beika Hotel.

Conan and Ai Haibara exchanged a glance, then got out of the car.

Just as Kurosawa was also planning to go along.

However, this was met with unanimous opposition from Conan and his friends.

"Kurosawa-kun, you can just wait in the car."

Conan pushed Kurosawa back into the car and closed the door.

Kurosawa rolled down the car window and looked at him questioningly.

"Well, it would be easier for the two of us kids to sneak in."

"Besides, Kurosawa-san, you weren't disguised, so it wouldn't be good if you were recognized."

Conan quickly came up with two reasons.

Then, under Conan's slightly nervous gaze, Kurosawa nodded.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Kurosawa had no intention of following him.

Then, he and Ai Haibara walked into the building next door.

……

Kurosawa watched them leave.

It's ok.

From a scientific perspective and with a rational analysis, Kurosawa is confident that Conan and his friends will encounter some unexpected events.

Then it will be his turn to appear.

As for which identity to use, that depends on the situation at the time.

With that thought in mind, Kurosawa put on an earphone when Professor Agasa wasn't looking.

Then, he propped his head up with one hand and looked out the window, pretending to be in a daze.

With that action, he tapped the earphones twice.

Soon, the sound of vodka came through the headphones.

"Big brother?"

Kurosawa knocked again.

Vodka understood and immediately explained the situation.

"Brother, I'm circling around the Beika Hotel right now."

"Vermouth and Bourbon have already entered the venue."

“Pisco is also ready.”

Kurosawa tapped the door to indicate that he understood.

Vodka continued.

"Don't worry, big brother."

"I will keep an eye on the area around the venue."

"I will notify you immediately if anything happens."

Kurosawa did not respond further.

Vodka understood what he meant and stopped talking.

Just then, a black minivan pulled up in front of the Beihu Hotel.

The target of this operation has been announced: Shigehiko Tobuchi.

Chapter 180 Ai Haibara is captured

As soon as Shigehiko Toguchi got out of the car, he was surrounded by a group of reporters.

Faced with various questions from reporters, Shigehiko Toguchi simply waved his hand repeatedly, and then, under the protection of his assistant, entered the restaurant.

Kurosawa watched his retreating figure, knowing that everything was about to begin.

Shortly after Shigehiko Tobuchi entered the hotel, Inspector Megure led a team of police officers into the hotel.

Kurosawa knew that Conan was starting to take action.

It's estimated that Conan discovered the organization's target was Shigehiko Tobuchi, so he contacted the police in advance to try to stop the organization's operation.

However, this was destined to fail.

Thinking this, Kurosawa calmly withdrew his gaze.

……

Inside the venue.

Conan and Ai Haibara mingled in the crowd.

Feeling the threat coming from all directions, Ai Haibara stiffened.

She pulled her hat down, covering most of her face, which gave her a sense of security.

Unlike Ai Haibara's evasive actions.

Conan, on the other hand, openly observed the people around him.

Of course, the most important thing is to observe the people around Shigehiko Tonguchi.

Based on the current situation, Shigehiko Tobuchi is the target of that organization.

However, since this was a memorial service for the famous director Akira Sakamaki, everyone present was dressed in black, and Conan was unable to determine for a moment who the members of the organization were.

Of course, this excludes Bourbon, whom I've already met.

Conan glanced at Amuro Tooru, who was dressed as a waiter, and quietly moved to cover Ai Haibara's figure.

I've spent so much time with Ai Haibara.

Conan naturally noticed her strange attitude toward Bourbon.

Ai Haibara always reacts strongly whenever Bourbon is mentioned.

That reaction, which seemed to be a mixture of anger, fear, and hatred...

Conan glanced at Ai Haibara.

Seeing that she was still looking down, he couldn't help but whisper.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"If you're really feeling unwell, you should go back to the car first."

"I've already notified the police. With the police here, you should be able to relax, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara finally looked up at him.

But before she could say anything, the lights in the venue suddenly went out.

At the same time, the host began to speak.
