I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

Apart from the stone tablet and iron gate with the four big characters "Beihu Park" engraved on it in front of the main entrance and the safety fences extending into the distance on both sides, there are only green lawns, cobblestone roads, hiking trails, etc.

Oh, there is also a circular square where old men and women living nearby can come and do square dancing or fly kites.

The parking location for Serabelle is in another parking lot directly across the road from Beihu Park.

In fact, this place also belongs to Beihu Park, but there are four lanes and a safety isolation zone in the middle.

The many obstacles just formed a natural cover.

"I see!"

Conan had been looking out the window since Serabelle stopped the car, and just in time he saw a white van with the words "Nichimei TV" printed on it driving into the parking lot in front of the park across the street in the distance.

Following behind the van were two black sedans.

Three cars stopped in the parking lot one after another. The doors opened, and the first person to get out of the van was a new popular female host with droopy eyes and bangs that resembled cockroach whiskers.

Following behind him got off the car were TV crew members carrying various portable filming equipment on their shoulders.

On the other side, two bodyguards in suits got out of the black car on both sides. After confirming that the surroundings were safe, they nodded towards the car.

The next person to show up was a burly middle-aged man with a righteous look on his face, and a particularly upright personality and appearance.

"Could that person be... Yasuteru Domon?!"

Conan whispered in surprise.

Serabelle was also paying attention to the situation in the parking lot across the street, but he didn't know who Yasuteru Domon was, so he asked casually when he heard it.

"Who?"

"Domon Yasuteru, his father is a former Defense Agency official, and he himself was once a Self-Defense Force officer. His sense of justice is twice as strong as that of ordinary people. He often makes very fierce comments on violence and crime on TV or in newspapers. As a result, he has gained quite a lot of support, but he has also become a thorn in the eyes of some people."

Conan groaned.

"Yes, I should have thought of it earlier. DJ actually refers to the Jack of Diamonds. Diamonds in playing cards actually refer to diamonds, and in astrology, diamonds have the nature of earth. As for Jack, he refers to a high-ranking official in the palace, so it must be Domon Yasuteru."

"Translated, it means a high-ranking official of the palace with the surname Tu. It's another puzzle of the radio wave series..."

Serabelle held her forehead and complained.

"And what do you mean by his sense of justice being twice as high as that of an average person? Can this kind of thing really be quantified in multiples?"

"Well, none of this matters. What matters is that we successfully cracked their code and found the right place. All that's left is..."

Conan was so excited that he almost opened the car door, got out and rushed across the street, but just as he was about to open the car door, a classic sports car with a completely black body drove into his car park without warning, almost following the route that the Nichiuri TV station had passed before and entered the parking lot in front of the park.

Conan, who was ready to charge bravely the last second, immediately regained his senses and stopped his legs that were about to step out of the car.

"Porsche 356A! Gin is here too?!"

"Ah~ I knew it."

Serabelle tapped her forehead lightly with her fingertips.

"Forget it. Call Teacher Judy now and tell them that you have found the target. Use the specific explanation you just thought of."

"Now?"

Conan looked back in surprise.

"But it's too late. It will take some time for Teacher Judy and the others to come..."

Before he could finish his words, Serabelle turned around and grabbed a large-looking box from the back seat with one hand and waved it in front of Conan.

"I know, so I will help them delay time."

Conan looked at it carefully. It was a drone with photography function, a brand new one that had not been unpacked.

He pointed at the box in surprise, his fingertips trembling slightly.

"Where did you get this?"

"Hmm? Of course I bought them together when I went to the supermarket to buy snacks..."

Serabelle blinked in confusion midway through her words.

"Hey, you don't think that tracking and monitoring work still needs to be seen with the naked eye these days, right? Wake up, that's the way it was done in the last century."

Oh--

Conan suddenly realized what he was going to do.

Again, what is professionalism?

This is called professionalism.

Then he saw Serabel unpack the drone, take out the batteries, and then control the drone out of the car window and fly straight towards the Porsche 356A in the parking lot in front of the park across the street.

Wait what are you doing?!

Chapter 449: All Sister-Con

At the same time, the vehicle carrying the three FBI members did not arrive at Mihua Park in time as agreed in the alley of the commercial street.

...They are now on their way to Beihu Park.

Just as Serabelle distrusted a certain white-haired, elegant American old man wearing glasses, James Blake also did not have much trust in this cold young man who he had only heard described by his subordinates.

This feeling of distrust became even stronger, especially after the other party introduced themselves as MI6.

Outside the car window, the rain gradually subsided and was about to stop.

In the driver's seat, Teacher Judy, who was driving the Peugeot flexibly through the city's traffic, gripped the steering wheel with both hands and glanced at her boss in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

"Mr. James, do you really think it is right for us to go to Beihu Park now? If the other party really chooses Beihu Park as the place of action..."

"Agent Judy."

Before the English teacher could finish her words, James interrupted her with a smile.

"Regarding this matter, I think we can think about it from another perspective. As both of you and Akai-kun are management investigators of a country's intelligence organization, if you were to go out on a mission, would you use the approach of 'taking a gamble' or 'relying on luck' when formulating your mission plan?"

Judy was slightly stunned and shook her head subconsciously.

"Of course not."

The execution of a mission is a very serious matter, and if you fail to do it properly, you will probably be court-martialed.

"That's right."

The smile on James' old and kind face remained unchanged.

"I don't think his statement that he was going to Beihu Park to gamble was groundless and casual. Moreover, since he refused to share the source of the intelligence with us, it shows that he doesn't trust us and doesn't think it's necessary to cooperate with us. Maybe he knew the final location of the other organization from the beginning."

"Since he felt there was no need to cooperate, why did he tell us about this?" Judy couldn't understand.

"Maybe I'm not 100% sure."

James analyzed it bit by bit.

"Akai-kun, do you remember the failed operation to suppress Gin with Agent Andre when you were an undercover agent in the Black Organization?"

"remember."

Shuichi Akai understood what his old boss was thinking. He opened the car window, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"That organization is very cautious in what they do. Every time they conduct a mission, they will deploy many members around the mission site just in case. If necessary, even the second-in-command of the organization will be dispatched."

He knew this very well; after all, that was how the mission failed.

"That's right, that's why he needs us as a reserve force that can join the battle at any time."

"To put it bluntly, they are cannon fodder." James made the final decision.

Judy found it difficult to accept this statement.

"I don't think we need to be so wary of Sera-kun..."

"What? Do you have a deeper understanding of that young man?"

James asked back.

"I……"

Judy was about to speak when Shuichi Akai interrupted her in time.

"I'm not familiar with him at all. We just met for the first time on the bus, and we haven't had any contact since then."

Eh?

Judy was stunned again.

To be honest, the second half of Akai Shuichi's sentence is objectively correct, as that was indeed their first meeting.

But to say that I am completely unfamiliar with it is pure nonsense.

At least through the relationship between Serabell and Sera Masumi and how they get along with each other, Judy can vaguely analyze that Serabell should be the adopted child of Akai Shuichi's mother.

To sum it up in one simple sentence, what is there to worry about when a child is raised by your mother?

But Shuichi Akai chose to lie, so there is only one answer.

That is, he didn't want to expose the relationship between himself and Serabell, and he didn't want the FBI to be linked to his younger sister Sera Masumi.

Judy was just relatively simple-minded, not a real fool. She immediately understood her companion's thoughts and decisively kept silent.

When James saw that his two capable subordinates stopped talking, he tacitly accepted that Serabelle was not entirely trustworthy, and cast his gaze through the gap in the front seat toward the farther area in front of the windshield.

"Well, let's go to Haido Park first, but we have to be careful not to be discovered by the other party."

Jingle bell bell—

As soon as he finished speaking, someone's cell phone rang in the car.

"Sorry, it's my phone."

Judy, who was driving, glanced at the dashboard and was about to reach out to grab it, but unexpectedly the car passed over a speed bump. The whole car body shook and the phone was also shaken up, causing the female foreign teacher's hand to slip and fall out of hand.

Fortunately, Shuichi Akai helped catch it at the critical moment.

When I looked at the caller ID, it was Serabelle calling.

"It's that MI6 boy."

Shuichi Akai seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually talking to his boss in the back seat.

Then he answered the phone and adopted a slightly unfamiliar tone.

"Hello, my colleague is busy with other things right now, so please tell me what you want to say."

"Ah, this isn't Brother Sera, it's actually me."

The childish voice coming from the other end of the phone made an FBI elite investigator frown.

"Little friend, you are..."

"My name is Conan, Edogawa Conan. Anyway, Uncle Dark Circle and Teacher Judy, please come here quickly. Brother Sera said that he has found the bad guys. They are in Haido Park. Their target is Mr. Domon Yasuteru. Now Brother Sera is trying to delay time."

"……understood."

As if he suddenly remembered something, Akai Shuichi asked another question.

"So, have you cracked the code?"

"Well, the explanation for the code was also thought up by Brother Sera."

Conan, who was accustomed to attributing all the correct reasoning results to Mouri Kogoro, changed his target this time and gave the honor of successfully cracking the code to Serabel.

"Brother Sera said... Oh, what was it..."

Conan's voice on the phone suddenly faded away, as if he was confirming the answer with the boy next to him.

Then came Serabelle's absent-minded and faint voice.

"Poker cards, alchemy, so he is a high-ranking official in the palace with the surname Tu."

"Oh, that's right, that's it."

? What a mess this is… Akai Shuichi thought.

On the other side, there was a secluded corner of the parking lot in front of Beihu Park, their upcoming destination.

Inside the pitch-black Porsche, Gin was staring through the side window with a murderous look on his face at a camera drone that had been circling his car from the beginning.
