"I didn't expect you to be evaluating the potential of that newspaper..." Toruya Amuro was speechless at Ike Feichi's motives for investigating the newspaper, and joked, "As expected of a consultant for a large group!"
Chi Feichi glanced at Toru Amuro and lowered his eyes to drink tea.
Some people are already experienced yin-yang masters in the organization who are well versed in the ways of yin and yang, why don't they restrain themselves a little outside? But it may also be a personal talent that cannot be buried or restrained.
Koshizui Nanatsuki, who is also a detective, ignored Conan's nonsense speculation that "the newspaper office is the base of the theft gang" and was somewhat interested in Toru Amuro's guess, "Speaking of espionage... the people in this newspaper office may not be very strong." planning and organizational capabilities, but they have repeatedly tried to launch public opinion attacks. This may also be a probing and sabotage act by spies. We do not rule out the possibility that they are conducting espionage activities. Not every spy can have strong capabilities. Bar?"
To put it simply, those people may not meet the 'talent' standard set by Mr. Chi, but they may also be spies, and strength cannot be used as an exclusion.
Mao Lilan understood what Koshimizu Nanatsuki meant and asked with some concern, "What if it's really a spy... Why would they focus on my father?"
"What..." Azusa Enomoto brought Conan's orange juice to the table. Under the gaze of the discussion group, he turned to look at the guests at the corner table warily. Then he brought the orange juice to Conan and looked at him in shock. Mao Lilan whispered, "Mr. Mao Li was targeted by spies? Why? Is it some sabotage operation to eliminate celebrities?"
Chi Feichi, Koshisui Nanatsuki, Mao Lilan, Conan, Amuro Toru: "..."
No matter how much you think about it, it's not like that.
Toru Amuro was worried that the news would be leaked, so he smiled and said to Azusa Enomoto, "We are talking about mystery puzzles. Nippon TV recently wanted to launch a new mystery program. I heard that they planned to invite Teacher Mori to participate. The puzzle is a spy war. We need While Teacher Maori is hiding his identity, he is looking for an evil spy who has also hidden his identity. If he is discovered, he will be set up by the other party. Miss Xiaolan is worried that Teacher Maori will get too carried away and be targeted after his identity is revealed. "
Azusa Enomoto was stunned for a moment, "Is that so?"
Toru Amuro smiled and said, "If there is really a spy targeting Teacher Mori, we can't discuss it in public, right?"
"That's right..." Azusa Enomoto nodded and smiled apologetically at the group, "Sorry, I misunderstood."
After Azusa Enomoto was tricked away, Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her voice, "Do I need to tell my father or the police officers about this matter? This matter should not be under the control of Officer Megure and the others, right?"
"Investigating espionage activities should be reported to the Foreign Affairs Section of the Public Security Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, or the Foreign Affairs Intelligence Department of the National Police Security Bureau..." Conan smiled and talked to Mao Lilan. He noticed the surprise in Mao Lilan's eyes when he looked at him, thinking of Toru Amuro. Standing next to him, he instantly noticed that Amuro Toru's scrutinizing gaze had been staying on him. He stopped the car suddenly and explained with a smile, "After I met a spy last time, I was a little curious about who was in charge of espionage activities. I went to find out specifically that the sea captain sister who held a special position last time seemed to have contacted the Tokyo police..."
"Ke, Conan!" Mao Lilan thought of the confidentiality agreement signed last time, quickly grabbed Conan, covered Conan's mouth, lowered her head to Conan's ear, and whispered in a low voice, "We promised, we can't talk about it again. This is about it.”
After saying that, Mao Lilan looked up and smiled sheepishly at Toru Amuro, "Sorry, Mr. Amuro, that..."
"Have you experienced a spy incident before, so you were asked to keep it secret?" Toru Amuro expressed his understanding with a gentle look on his face, "Then I understand, I didn't hear anything, and I won't ask random questions."
Chi Feichi tried to get these people to give up on this matter and proposed the most appropriate solution, "Although this kind of matter is not under the control of Officer Mu Mu, we can call the police directly, or call Officer Mu Mu directly .”
"But we're not sure yet that there's something wrong with that newspaper," Conan said confidently, "What if we guess wrong?"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki was eager to give it a try, "Why don't we investigate again."
Finally, Toru Amuro provided another option, "In fact, there is a way to quickly identify whether there is a problem with that newspaper. If this newspaper is engaged in espionage, there will definitely be strange financial income..."
Chi Feichi: "..."
Sure enough, regardless of whether it was the work of the Security Planning Section, Amuro would not let it go casually, and would always take over the tasks of other departments to complete it. Is it normal?
…
Two hours later...
Mouri Kogoro was sitting on the third floor, looking at the two servings of Poro Cafe's special mullet roe pasta, a plate of boxed fried chicken skewers, and a bottle of sake on the dining table. He stayed for a moment and looked up at Moori who was sitting opposite. Lan, "Are we going to eat this tonight? And, where are the others? Didn't we agree that after Numa Wei's case is solved, we will hold a celebration banquet here?"
"There is no way, Mr. Amuro encountered trouble with the commission, so Brother Chi and Sister Nanatsuki went to help," Mao Lilan said with a smile, "We are the only two attending the celebration tonight."
"What kind of celebration is this..." Maori Kogoro noticed that Maori Lan's face was gradually getting worse. He swallowed his complaints and asked with a speechless face, "What about the Conan kid? Why is he following to join in the fun?"
"I didn't want him to cause trouble, but as you know, sometimes he is very curious. He insisted on going to have a look, and even hugged Fei Chi's legs and refused to let go. There was nothing we could do about him. Ah, we just have to let him go. By the way, if they come back very late tonight, Conan and Fei Chi will go to the Seven Detective Agency to stay temporarily for one night, so we don’t have to wait for him at night..."
"They won't go behind my back to have a big dinner somewhere else to celebrate, right?"
"How is it possible? You are the protagonist of this incident. I can't celebrate without you, right?"
"That's right..."
…
Yoneka Town is located near a building in the leisure area. Ike Feichi, Koshimizu Nanatsuki, and Conan are sitting in a car. They listen to Amuro Toru introduce the terrain of the building and confirm the destination of tonight's operation, which is The location of the offices of a small newspaper.
"Their newspaper office only rents a small area on the sixth floor, which is located in the corner. There are three offices and one bathroom, one staff office, one financial office, and one president's office. There are usually only three employees. The president and the president’s secretary who is responsible for financial management..."
"Our targets are mainly the financial office and the president's office, but the staff office can also sneak into the investigation, because spies may also disguise themselves as ordinary employees and instigate or bribe other people to carry out sabotage operations..."
After understanding the basic situation, the group of four people got out of the car and went under the building to observe the surrounding environment.
"There are still lights on behind the windows on the third, fifth, and twelfth floors, but there should be no one working on the sixth floor we are going to." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked up at the windows of the building, "That one The newspaper previously published many articles criticizing Mr. Mori. Now that Mr. Mori's reputation has been restored, they have also been criticized by many people. If the employees did not work overtime here, they should have gone home and hid long ago. According to Mr. Amuro's investigation, the employees here The guards will conduct a patrol at 12 o'clock at night. As long as we make less noise when collecting clues, do not disturb the people on the fifth floor, and hide around 12 o'clock, we should not be discovered during the search all night long..."
"There is a security room on the first floor here. In addition, there are cameras in the elevator. When we infiltrate, we have to avoid the security room on the first floor and don't take the elevator," Toru Amuro added, "Sneak in from the bathroom on the first floor, and then from inside the room." Go up the safe passage stairs..."
Chi Feichi took out the rope ejection gun and auxiliary suction cup specially prepared for outdoor operations, "I will go up from the outer wall."
Toru Amuro was a little surprised, "You said before that you needed some time to get the equipment, are you just going to get this?"
"There are some others," Chi Feichi said expressionlessly, "Don't be so surprised. It was you who gave up calling the police to solve the problem and decided to sneak in illegally collectively."
Conan: "..."
That's true, but...
"But, isn't your equipment a bit too professional?" Toru Amuro reminded speechlessly.
Doesn't this really make your identity suspicious?
It's easy to think of a thief, or... a mercenary? Bounty Hunter?
"It's just a small toy that was acquired temporarily." Chi Feichi deliberately pretended not to hear Amuro Toru's reminder, and tried to get rid of the doubts by only responding to superficial questions. Then he asked, "Would you like me to take you through the outer wall?" Go up?"
"I've prepared this." Koshizui Nanatsuki took out an iron hook with a hemp rope and handed it to Chi Feichi with a smile. He also took out a pair of anti-cut gloves and put them on, "Please Mr. Chi, please help me hang the hook after he goes up. In a solid place!”
Conan hesitated for a moment, then took out his telescopic strap and handed it to Chi Feichi, "Add this telescopic strap, tie it to the rope, and let Sister Nanatsuki take me up by the way, so we don't have to climb hard. Going up..."
Toru Amuro, who had not prepared any special equipment: "..."
It turns out that he is the one whose behavior is inconsistent with everyone else's?
