The two were so engrossed in the conversation that it was not until Conan became a little impatient that Natsukawa said goodbye with a smile.

After seeing Natsukawa off, the childishness on Conan's face suddenly turned into solemnity. He looked at the time, only to find that his watch had been broken by Yuri.

"Dr. Agasa, please help me fix my watch as well."

"I see, but it's almost three o'clock. Let's go to the place you mentioned now. Is the stuff still there?"

Dr. Agasa couldn't help but worry.

Shinichi had told him everything. It seemed that Miyano Akemi had a copy of the Black Organization's drug research information, which was hidden in Miyano Akemi's Shinjuku residence.

However, it has been more than six hours since Miyano Akemi was taken away by the police. If there is any research data, would Miyano Akemi have already informed the police?

If the police already knew about it and even took the things away, wouldn't it be a waste of time for the two of us to go there in the middle of the night?

Moreover, the police might leave some personnel to monitor them, and then both he and Conan would be at risk of being caught.

By then, let alone your identity, you will probably be sent directly to the laboratory for sectioning.

Come to think of it, when he first found out that Shinichi had become smaller, he had the urge to slice him into slices.

If the two of them were not close friends regardless of age, and if the Kudo family had not provided him with countless research funds, he might have taken action.

"No matter what, I'm going to go and take a look." Conan took a deep breath. He knew Dr. Agasa's concerns, but he didn't want to miss this opportunity.

He wanted to get the research data even if there was only a slight chance.

With the information in hand, Dr. Agasa's talent in scientific research will definitely lead to the development of an antidote...

Soon, a yellow Beetle rushed out of the villa.

"So, it was because of that thing..."

Turning the corner, Xia Chuan took off his headphones and heard the conversation between the two clearly.

"My dear Conan, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you..."

Xia Chuan had already taken this information away yesterday.

Shirley accidentally sent her research materials to Miyano Akemi a few years ago, and they should be at Hirota Masami's home now.

The research progress a few years ago is very different from now. If Conan gets the latest research data, then Haibara and Dr. Agasa will join forces and might be able to develop an antidote for drug A soon. To be on the safe side, it will be confiscated for the time being.

Return it when the time is right.

Otherwise, if the plot hasn't progressed much and Conan suddenly turns back into Kudo Shinichi, wouldn't that be a waste of time?

By then, with Kudo Shinichi's big heart, he will come out to solve a few more cases, and the newspapers will blow the whistle that the savior of the Neon police has returned, and Kudo's whole family will be hunted down by Gin. This is not the result that Natsukawa wants to see.

Actually, he is doing this for Conan's own good.

The whole family are ordinary people. Apart from being a little smart, their fighting power is almost zero. They definitely cannot resist Gin's crazy assassination.

This is the "hero" who dared to shoot at Tokyo Tower and blow up submarines.

Now the winery is in the open and Conan is in the dark, which is the safest place.

Conan's late-night trip was destined to be in vain.

......

Back in time.

In the public security underground base.

Yuri sat in the interrogation room, his hands folded and his eyes sharp.

Opposite him was the winery's peripheral member Akemi Miyano who had just been arrested.

Miyano Akemi looked haggard at this moment. It was not because Yuri tortured her, but she had been up all night last night and had gone through so many things today, so she was inevitably a little mentally exhausted.

"Where is your sister?"

"do not know."

"Where is the organization's base in Tokyo?"

"do not know."

"Why didn't Tequila arrive at the trading location tonight?"

"do not know."

"what do you know?"

"I don't know anything..."

"..."

Yuri touched his forehead and said impatiently: "If you still don't cooperate, I may have to use extraordinary measures."

"I am just an outside member and have never been to the base. Every time I meet Tequila, it is at a location chosen by him temporarily. I only know that my sister is in Mihua or Beihu. Maybe the organization's research base is within this range, but I don't know the exact location.

My sister didn't dare tell me the location of the base.

But every time we met, it was at Mihua and Beihu, so I guess they are nearby.

As for why Tequila didn't come today, I also want to know. But... I'm more curious about how you police got the specific location information of this transaction."

Conan was lucky because the other party had found him at the Mika International Hotel and had installed a positioning device on the taxi he was riding in. Later, he happened to see her change cars and leave, so he was able to find him.

The situation on the public security side is a bit strange.

She appeared quietly at Warehouse 4-04 in Tokyo Bay, which she and Tequila had just settled in not long ago.

Moreover, they did not bring any people with them, only two people came, which was not in line with the police's style.

Although the police's arrest operations are relatively secretive, there are definitely many plainclothes officers involved.

These two people are either stupid or they know something.

Suspicious, too suspicious.

Looking back now, she was a little skeptical about Tequila's identity.

Tequila's behavior today was too strange. No one would believe that there was a traffic jam or something like that.

Just like Conan... No! Just like Kudo Shinichi guessed, there must be some big gossip and secrets here.

Chapter 184 Industry Jargon

"We naturally have our channels. You just need to tell me what you know. For example, where did you hide the 1 billion yen?"

Let's put other things aside for now. There's plenty of time to ask questions. Let's find out the location of the 1 billion yen first.

"In the parking lot of the Beihu Hotel, the license plate is..."

Miyano Akemi directly told the address.

After giving his instructions, Yuri waved towards the surveillance camera, signaling the people in the monitoring room to handle the matter.

Tokyo is the headquarters of public security, and there are many public security police officers. There are also plainclothes officers in Haido Town. The specific situation will be determined soon.

During this gap, Yuri continued to ask, "You have come into contact with Tequila so many times, what do you know about him, his characteristics and so on."

"???"

A question mark popped up over Miyano Akemi's head. Isn't Tequila a member of the Public Security Bureau?

Why did the police ask this question? Instead of asking this question, they should ask her how many winery members Neon has.

She knew a little about this, although she had not seen many of them, but her sister had mentioned some of them.

Noticing the other party's serious expression, as if he would be severely punished if he didn't give an answer, Miyano Akemi shrank her neck and said:

"He is about 1.9 meters tall, almost 2 meters tall, wears a black suit and black tie, and often wears a round-brimmed hat. Judging from his voice and overall appearance, he is probably in his forties.

By the way, he has a very obvious Kansai accent, so he must be from Kansai.

I remember that he was mainly responsible for the organization's flour business before, but recently, for some reason, he started to act as a middleman between me and my sister."

Yes, after the Kamogawa base was destroyed, Tequila must have no work to do, so he was sent by Gin to be the middleman between Miyano Akemi and Shirley.

Yuri tapped the table, brows furrowed.

He had some impression of this description; this guy had been sent back photos by Jōgō and Morofushi a few years ago.

Yuri pulled out a stack of photos from his inner jacket pocket and pulled out one.

"Is it this person?"

When Jōgō sent the photos back, perhaps he was in a hurry and did not mark the name. He could only confirm that this guy was a code member of the organization, but he did not know his code name.

Now is a good time to confirm it with Miyano Akemi.

"Yes."

After confirming, Miyano Akemi looked at the other photos in Yuri's hand.

Yuri understood and arranged the photos neatly like a dealer's cards. There were a lot of photos, but in fact there were only about four or five people.

"Identify these people and tell me what their code names are."

In fact, he already knew several of them, and he asked this question mainly to confirm whether Miyano Akemi was lying.

Miyano Akemi carefully examined each photo, and finally divided them into several parts, each representing a person.

However, how did the police obtain these photos?

Judging from the photos, these people were secretly photographed while they were drinking, and their faces were facing the camera. It seems that they were chatting with the person taking the photos while being photographed.

As expected, the police had spies within their organization.

However, this is normal.

The organization appears to be tight on the surface, but in reality the backgrounds and abilities of its peripheral members vary, so it is normal for some of them to be spies or undercover agents.

Codename members are not selected overnight. They are chosen from among many peripheral members. It is normal to have one or two spies.

No one knows how many undercover agents died at the hands of Gin's gun, including not only peripheral members but also codename members.

"Vodka, Chianti, Cohen..."

Miyano Akemi looked at the last two photos for a long time and shook her head: "I have never seen the person in these two photos. He may not be from Japan. Maybe only my sister knows him."

The two faces picked out by Akemi Miyano are Western, male.

Yuri didn't care. It seemed that Bourbon's job required him to travel around the world, so it was normal to have photos of distillery members from other branches besides Neon.

Speaking of which, the man in the photo is quite handsome, with sharp features and bright eyes. He is very popular among aristocratic men and women in Europe and the United States.

Yes, both men and women love it.

Male aristocrats in Western Europe are rather weird, so it's normal for them to like fencing.

This was something he only knew after working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Once when he was on a business trip to London to attend a diplomatic reception, he was almost dragged back home by a baron to fencing.

I have a vivid memory of this.

"It's OK if you don't know her." Yuri marked the photo and put it away, then changed the subject: "You should have met Shirley quite often. Do you know what she is researching? Did she give you anything for safekeeping, such as research materials?"

Miyano Akemi's expression remained unchanged, or perhaps her fatigue had caused the details on her face to disappear, so nothing could be seen, only her heartbeat slowed down a beat.

Should I tell the other person?

Miyano Akemi hesitated.

The Public Security Bureau is the largest national security organization in Neon. If we don’t trust them, then I guess no one in Neon is trustworthy.

But my sister's research is too important.

Now that I'm in trouble, my sister will definitely protest against Gin, and going on strike is a basic operation.

Given Gin's personality, he will definitely not allow his sister to act recklessly, and he will definitely give her special treatment.

If I leak the research data to the police again...

The public security department is most likely fine, but the leaders and politicians above them may not be the same.

She has come into contact with many sinister politicians and knows the twists and turns involved. If the other party knows that what her sister is researching can make people smaller, they will go crazy!

Who knows, he might go crazy looking for the organization’s scientific research base. How would my sister be safe then?

Not to mention that Gin might kill his sister who leaked the news in advance, even if she survives, she will be imprisoned by politicians for further research.

There is no essential difference between the two, both are exploiters.
