Gin doesn't want to work hard

But his skills must be good.

So, why did the two of them tumble down the stairs for no reason?

Besides, what kind of stairs can cause so many external injuries on people?

It's been bandaged, so it's definitely not just a simple bruise.

Could it be that the stairs are made of blades?

Conan resisted the urge to complain and turned to look at Kurosawa.

"Brother Kurosawa, what happened last night?"

Kurosawa hesitated for a moment, looked at Akai Shuichi again, and finally said.

"…Fell down the stairs."

Conan: ...

Naturally, he could tell at a glance that Kurosawa was lying.

but……

Since even Kurosawa chose to lie, I'm afraid there's really nothing we can get out of him.

Conan still remembers the last time Kurosawa lied.

Or the time when Hattori Heiji asked him if he was Kudo Shinichi.

Although it was obvious that he was lying that time, at least Kurosawa made his attitude clear.

It's the same this time.

Looking at Kurosawa who avoided his sight, Conan sighed and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to ask.

Since Brother Kurosawa doesn't want to say it, he can't force him.

As for what happened last night, even if the two of them didn't say it, Conan believed that he could find the answer.

As long as he waits for the nurse to change the bandage and the wound is exposed, he will be able to find the key clue.

Conan thought so and simply moved a chair to sit in front of the bed.

Akai Shuichi watched Conan's actions and his eyes moved slightly.

Thinking of what Judy said last night, he spoke.

"Did you arrange for Kudo Shinichi to appear in Osaka?"

Although it was a question, Akai Shuichi's eyes were full of certainty.

Seeing this, Conan did not hide anything and admitted it directly.

"Yes."

He didn't ask Shuichi Akai why he knew that.

Ever since Shuichi Akai called Judy in front of them last night, many things became clear.

Some things don't need to be said deliberately, they can be understood with just a little association.

However, when mentioning "Kudo Shinichi", Conan couldn't help but think of the members of that organization.

"Tomoaki Niide" disguised as Vermouth!

They had not yet found any trace of him.

There were no suspicious persons around "Kudo Shinichi".

This made Conan a little unsure.

Logically speaking, the people in the organization should have found clues about "Kudo Shinichi".

Why is there no movement at all?

According to the original plan, "Kudo Shinichi" was supposed to disappear again after appearing at yesterday's academic exchange meeting.

However, since no suspicious persons have appeared, Conan and his friends are not sure whether the organization has noticed the existence of "Kudo Shinichi".

Therefore, until now, "Kudo Shinichi" is still active in academic exchange meetings.

Could it be that Vermouth doesn't know anything about Kudo Shinichi?

This idea suddenly popped into Conan's mind.

In such a large organization, there must be many people who died because of drugs.

In addition, Kudo Shinichi has been confirmed dead in the organization.

If I hadn't deliberately looked through the relevant files, it seems possible that I wouldn't have recognized Kudo Shinichi?

But even if Vermouth can't recognize it, Bourbon should be able to recognize it, right?

As someone who "killed" Kudo Shinichi with his own hands, there is no reason for him to remain indifferent after seeing "Kudo Shinichi".

Conan decided to put himself in Bourbon's shoes.

If he was bourbon.

One day he suddenly found that the person he had killed appeared in front of him again.

He will choose...

Kill him again.

"Kill him again."

A voice spoke out Conan's inner thoughts.

Conan looked up at Akai Shuichi with a little confusion.

"You said what you thought."

Kurosawa on the side explained silently.

"Uh……"

Conan was speechless for a moment.

When you think, you unconsciously say what you think...

He seemed to have done something like this.

Conan scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

But now that it's been said, Conan no longer keeps it to himself.

Anyway, judging from the confrontation between Shuichi Akai and Bourbon before, it was obvious that they knew each other.

Shuichi Akai should know Bourbon better than him.

Conan simply asked.

"But now Bourbon is not making any moves. Why is that?"

Upon hearing this, Akai Shuichi sat up straight.

He knew Conan was talking about Kudo Shinichi.

However, he did not answer immediately, but asked back.

"Did Bourbon make you like this?"

Conan nodded.

"Besides you and him, were there any other people present?"

"And gin and vodka."

Hearing these two code names, Shuichi Akai widened his eyes slightly.

Conan is really...

But in this way, Bourbon's behavior seems to be explained.

"Bourbon wouldn't want anyone to know that Kudo Shinichi is still alive."

Akai Shuichi explained.

"If Gin knew about this, Bourbon would be in trouble."

"Gin will not show mercy for such a serious mistake."

Thinking of his own injuries, Shuichi Akai couldn't help but curse under his breath.

"He's a madman who can do anything."

Kurosawa on the side glanced at him and moved his fingers slightly, as if he wanted to take something out.

But thinking of his current identity and position, he paused, and finally picked up the game console naturally.

"what?"

Conan didn't hear clearly and asked back subconsciously.

"nothing."

Akai Shuichi shook his head and continued the topic of Bourbon.

"Vermouth is also in Osaka. Bourbon won't act rashly."

"Unless he can get rid of Vermouth and act alone."

Conan frowned slightly when he heard this.

"Do all members of the organization act together?"

“That’s how it is when we’re working on a mission together.”

"But when it comes to things like gathering intelligence, that's not necessarily the case."

“In the early stages, they may act together, but in the later stages, they generally separate.”

"And as far as I know, both Vermouth and Bourbon like to act alone."

Akai Shuichi made no secret of his familiarity with the organization.

Conan glanced at him and made some guesses about Akai Shuichi's former identity.

Shuichi Akai doesn't care what Conan thinks.

In a way, it's better for Conan to focus on him rather than on the organization.

At least there is no danger in investigating him, but it is different when investigating the organization.

At this point, Shuichi Akai also had some guesses about what Toru Amuro was thinking.

Toru Amuro may still be acting with Vermouth.

But as long as the two of them act separately in the later stage, Toru Amuro will definitely find a way to take action against "Kudo Shinichi"!

Conan also thought of this.

But now, the only problem is that he doesn't know where Toru Amuro is.

Although he could ask Hattori Heiji to investigate, it would be too dangerous to directly investigate Amuro Toru.

Conan looked at Akai Shuichi.

"Mr. Akai, are you interested in cooperating temporarily?"

Because Shuichi Akai had previously proposed to find out his identity before cooperating.

Conan took advantage of the opportunity and asked for "temporary cooperation".

Shuichi Akai did not refuse, but instead signaled Conan to speak out his thoughts.

Conan lowered his head slightly, and a light reflected from his glasses.

"We can do this..."

Kurosawa, who was standing by, glanced at the two people who were discussing, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

All of Conan's plans are based on the premise that Toru Amuro is a bad guy and intends to take action against "Kudo Shinichi".

But is there a possibility that Toru Amuro really doesn't have this idea?
