"That's it for the tequila thing."
A Porsche 356A is driving on the road in Cupido Town.
Gin, who was chewing a cigarette, took the cigarette lighter and lit it, speaking concisely.
"you sure?"
The voice from the other end of the phone made Gin stop lighting his cigarette, and then his eyes changed slightly: "What do you mean?"
"Although the police are not as strict with our activities in Japan as the public security, they are not unresponsive at all, Gin."
He vaguely heard the sound of ice cubes hitting the wine glass, and the woman's unique pleasant voice made Gin's cigarette-biting mouth reveal a sneer: "You seem to be particularly concerned about the eucalyptus tequila, Belmod."
"You should know the purpose of my coming to Japan, Gin."
Belmode, who was shaking his wine glass, chuckled: "If you weren't responsible for this task, then I'm sure Miyano Akemi won't be able to see the sun tomorrow."
"The police will use the natural gas pipeline explosion to determine the nature of the incident, including the subsequent death of Miyano Akemi, and the police will also conclude that she committed suicide out of fear of guilt."
Gin, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth, raised the corner of his mouth with a cold arc: "I'm afraid you won't be able to wait until that time, Belmod."
"It looks like you have everything sorted. I'll wait and see."
Belmod hung up the phone, and the smile on his brow gradually disappeared between his lowered eyes. He looked at the photo in his hand, took a sip of wine, and fell into deep thought——
It seems that Katsumi Uehara did not report this matter?
Why?
Because the kid asked for secrecy?
Considering that Edogawa Conan also saved Katsuki Uehara's life, Bellmode felt that this option was worthy of further observation.
"Is there a natural gas pipeline explosion and fire...?"
……………………………………………
The Metropolitan Police Department searched the office area of the 3rd Department of Violent Crime Section 1, in a certain lounge.
After listening to Edogawa Conan's long list of self-introductions and brief introductions to his deeds, Katsuki Uehara yawned and spit out the gum in his mouth. He looked at the child in front of him and asked a question that he was very concerned about——
"So, you look like you are now, you must have been in a hot spring and bathed with your childhood sweetheart Mao Lilan, right?"
——? !
"I-I'm not-that's-" Never expected that Uehara Katsumi's brain circuit could still be so clear. Conan's cheeks suddenly turned a little rosy, and he denied it for a long time but couldn't form a complete sentence. , Reasons that can be expressed.
"Don't make excuses. In your own words, although you have the body of a primary school student now, your mind is not. If you really don't want to go, can Mao Lilan still force you to go?"

Uehara Katsuki gave him a look of disdain: "You have a lustful heart but no lustful courage."
"...Is this the crux of the matter?"
Conan shook his head, as if to get the last hot spring scene out of his mind, and said seriously: "Uehara Police Department, I'm not kidding you. This matter is really important and dangerous. I hope you can keep it a secret for me. .”
"You also know the danger? Why don't you borrow the power of your parents' connections if you know the danger? Don't tell me that your parents don't know about your situation yet."
"I - well, they came back not long ago and thought about taking me away." Conan's eyes suddenly became dark: "But I refused."
"It's good to have a sense of justice and fight against evil, but there's no shame in thinking about your parents sometimes."
Uehara Katsumi didn't make any nonsense, he played with the bow-tie voice changer that Conan handed over, chuckled and said: "If it weren't for the fact that you saved me, your information will be revealed later." At the top of the desk at the Metropolitan Police Department.
"After all, no matter what, I am still alive thanks to you."
After trying to use the bow-tie voice changer to change his voice, Katsuki Uehara seemed to be tired of playing with it, and threw the bow back to Conan who fell into silence: "Let's end this matter. We will make an agreement in the future. Do you want to break the deal or not?" You can do whatever you want, but don’t shoot me, I always like to take the initiative."
"That's not what I meant, Uehara Police Department."
"But that's what I mean. When I went in, I really didn't think I could come back alive."
Uehara Katsumi stood up lazily and patted Conan's head: "I'll scare you, but there's a saying, you would rather risk exposure to save people. Although this is reckless, if it were me, I wouldn't necessarily can do it.
"However, I still have to remind you. It is a good thing to have a sense of justice, but remember to act within your ability."
"Just like Uehara Police Department when you go to save people, do you act according to your ability?"
"If you insist on understanding it this way, it's not impossible."
Uehara Katsuki shrugged and opened the door to the lounge with a smile: "To be honest, I admire your ability to always adhere to the belief of integrity and kindness. This is a very difficult thing, at least I can't do it myself.
“But sometimes I suggest that you still need to think more about the serious consequences of every decision you make.
“You have to learn to control your impulses.
"Imagine if I were a criminal policeman related to this black organization, and you happened to be known to me because of these oversights.
"So, what will happen to you, the Maori Detective Agency where you are staying, and even Maori Lan?"
Under Conan's silent gaze, Katsuki Uehara raised his hand to form a gun, and aimed his left index finger at his head, simulating the sound effect of a bullet coming out of the barrel. His eyes grew cold: "Bang."
——? !
Conan's penis shrank suddenly with the sound of the gunshot, and when he regained consciousness, there was no trace of Katsumi Uehara at the wide-open door.
"Conan, what's wrong with you? Conan?"
After finishing the notes, Mao Lilan passed by the lounge with the door open and happened to see the child standing in a daze.
"Huh? Huh? Oh, it's okay, it's okay, Sister Xiaolan, I just feel a little hungry." Conan, who came back to his senses, rubbed his belly subconsciously.
"Is that so? Tell me what you want to eat that night and I'll cook it for you when I get home." Mao Lilan knelt down, reached out and stroked his head, asking softly.
"Sister Xiaolan..."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Staring at the girl with a gentle smile in front of him, Conan was silent for a long time. Under her increasingly worried gaze, a smile bloomed on his face again: "I want to eat eel rice."
"Just eat this?!"
Mao Lilan was about to say yes, but suddenly there was a yelp——
Feeling familiar, Conan quickly ran out and glanced in the direction of the sound, and Katsumi Uehara, who was chasing Miwako Sato and talking casually, came into view.
"I'm not telling you Zuotou, you have won so much money after all. Treating me to a nice meal is not too much, right?"
"Did I want to win so much? Didn't Shiratori and the others not believe me and bet on you to win, so I made this money?" Miwako Sato, who had packed her things and was about to get off work, took out her trophy from her pocket. , and deliberately counted them in front of the man, clicking his tongue and shaking his head.
"If you don't like it, just give me back the money." Uehara Katsuki stretched out his hand to grab it, but the woman avoided it with a nimble move——
"You can't renege on what you lost to me." Miwako Sato raised her hand to block the man's intrusion, and said with a hint of playfulness at the corner of her mouth: "Anyway, I only said that I would treat you to food, but I didn't say what to eat."
"Police Department, the cause of the explosion at the bar in Dahei Building has been found out. It was a natural gas pipeline explosion."
As soon as he entered the door, Shiratori Rensaburo's eyelids jumped when he saw the money in Sato Miwako's hand, and he reported to Muji Sanhui.
