Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World
Chapter 32 Silence from All Sides Regarding Pisco's Actions
That night, many people stayed up. The Superpower Bureau immediately took the captured members of the Black Organization away for interrogation and, based on their intelligence, launched a raid on the organization's stronghold.
Although the organization's several strongholds were deserted, the organization still suffered significant economic losses.
Therefore, Pisco, as a veteran of the organization, took out a large portion of his savings accumulated over the years and handed it over, while also reluctantly pleading with the Boss on behalf of Ireland.
Pisco knew what losing Sherry meant for Ireland, but he couldn't lose Ireland, his only protégé whom he had carefully nurtured in the organization for many years. As he got older, Pisco's energy was not what it used to be, and if he lost Ireland, he might be completely devoured in the Black Organization.
After some thought, the Boss severely criticized Gin and Pisco, while Tequila and Ireland were demoted and sent to perform the most dangerous frontline missions to atone for their crimes.
As for the injured Cohen, Bourbon, Scotland, Vodka, and Kiel, no action has been taken. They are simply kept silent for the time being, since this operation has affected too many people, and the Boss cannot punish everyone.
Late at night, on the rooftop of the Beika City Hall, Matsuda Jinpei, dressed in a black robe to conceal his figure, lit a cigarette and waited quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, a whooshing sound came from behind, and a blond figure wearing a baseball cap appeared from behind, his eyes cold. No one spoke first, and they remained silent.
After a while, Matsuda Jinpei raised his right hand in a cool manner and ran two fingers across his shoulder. Upon seeing this, Furuya Rei stretched out his left hand and made a special gesture on his chest.
After exchanging the code, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere instantly relaxed considerably.
"Hey Zero, you were pretty ruthless before!"
Matsuda Jinpei breathed a sigh of relief and spoke in a somewhat teasing tone.
"I had no choice; in front of Ireland, I had to go all out."
Rei Furuya gave an apologetic look, his expression somewhat helpless.
"I don't mean to blame you, I just find it a bit strange that the four of us ended up together in that kind of situation."
Matsuda Jinpei exhaled a smoke ring, his tone tinged with nostalgia.
Upon hearing this, Furuya Rei fell silent for a moment. Since he and Morofushi Kagemitsu joined the organization as undercover agents, the five of them had rarely met. Most of the time, they were exchanging intelligence. The rare gathering of the four of them was on the battlefield, where they were putting on a show in front of Ireland.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Time is limited, let's start exchanging information."
Seeing Furuya Rei lost in memories, Matsuda Jinpei interrupted his thoughts by throwing the cigarette butt under his foot and stomping on it.
"The organization is currently in a state of silence. There won't be any major moves anytime soon. Ireland and Tequila have been punished, and the only other thing is that Gin has been ordered to investigate the undercover agents in the research institute... Also, everyone has received the mission to find Sherry!"
Furuya Rei glared at Matsuda Jinpei, then briefly explained the organization's orders and current situation.
"A mission to find Sherry? Sherry is missing?"
Upon hearing Furuya Rei's answer, Matsuda Jinpei asked with some surprise.
According to the report on this operation, all members of the Black Organization suffered losses, but no one took Sherry away.
"Tequila, as far as I know, is because of the failure to care for Akemi Miyano. As for Ireland... Rum told me that Shirley escaped, escaped from Ireland."
Bourbon's face showed a complex expression, and his tone was somewhat turbulent.
"Huh? You mean, Sherry was rescued by Yusaku Kudo and Shuichi Akai's men? But they didn't tell us!"
Matsuda Jinpei spoke with some surprise, then frowned.
According to their original plan, considering the previous failed operation in Rumron, America, plus this failure of Gin and Pisco, the organization's leaders and their subordinate codenamed members suffered heavy casualties. Boss could probably only give them a slight reprimand, after all, he couldn't kill them all.
Although the organization is a ruthless criminal organization, it still needs to be composed of people. Codenamed members are a scarce resource, not to mention irreplaceable individuals like Rum and Gin. The Boss cannot punish them too severely. In this way, it can both strike at the organization and showcase Bourbon and Scotland's abilities, laying the foundation for further progress in the future.
However, Shirley's disappearance changed the entire plan.
"Mr. Yusaku Kudo has no reason to hide this from us. After all, although he has extensive connections, he is ultimately a private individual. He can't do anything by taking Sherry away. Scientists like Sherry can only receive adequate protection within the official Superpower Bureau."
Bourbon shook his head slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
"You mean, Shuichi Akai took Sherry away and hid her? Are they planning to detain her in America?!"
Matsuda Jinpei instantly understood Furuya Rei's meaning and fell silent for a moment.
Although Earth is now controlled by the Earth United Defense Organization, the sole government, it doesn't mean there are no factions within it. The relationship between the representatives of the Americas and Asia in the council is rather delicate.
"If they just want to steal information, I'm not too worried. But the attitudes of the Boss and Rum make me feel that what Sherry is researching is not so simple."
Bourbon was silent for a moment, then spoke again.
"Having been in this organization for so many years, haven't you come across Shirley's research?"
Matsuda Jinpei frowned and asked in a serious tone.
"No, this is the organization's top secret. As far as I know, only Boss, Rum, Pisco, and Sherry themselves probably know it. Even Gin doesn't know."
Bourbon shook his head slightly, a trace of worry lingering between his brows.
"It seems this matter has touched the core of the organization. What's your next step? Are you going to contact Sherry?"
Matsuda Jinpei cursed inwardly, then continued to ask.
"No, if Sherry is really being held captive in America, it's not easy to act directly, whether it's Bourbon's identity or Zero's identity. Rum will naturally take action over there. I plan to start with Pisco."
Bourbon shook his head, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"Pisco?"
Matsuda Jinpei thought for a moment, then nodded:
"Pisco is getting old and only has Ireland as his heir, and this time he has made a big mistake. Pisco is probably very anxious, and anxiety will reveal his weaknesses. We will fully cooperate with you to find a way to break through Pisco."
"This is some evidence of corruption by Congressman Shigehiko Tsuruguchi. Take it back and hand it over to your superiors."
Rei Furuya took out a silver USB drive from his pocket and spoke solemnly.
"Shigehiko Tobuchi? I remember him, he's the councilor who has close ties with Chairman Kenzo Masuyama. So he really is connected to the organization?"
Matsuda Jinpei took the USB drive, his expression unchanged.
"That's right. As long as we investigate Shigehiko Tonguchi in secret, Pisco will definitely lose his composure, and we can take this opportunity to find a breakthrough in his case."
Rei Furuya nodded slightly and looked at Jinpei Matsuda.
"I understand, leave it to me."
Matsuda Jinpei nodded solemnly. The two of them didn't need to say anything more; everything was understood without words.
After a while, the two separated and disappeared from the rooftop, as if nothing had ever happened that night.
