Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

Although the first four days of this treasure hunt were full of dangers and excitement, everyone had a great time in the last two days.

Conan and others visited the beautiful scenery of Osaka, while Kogoro Mori enthusiastically finished filming the promotional advertisement for the red leaf treasure hunt with Yoko Okino.

The only unhappy thing is that due to the sharp drop in the number of participants to almost nothing, the Ooka Foundation directly downgraded the original treasure hunt competition rewards to ancient book rubbings and preferential qualifications for next year's competition.

High prize money and red jade rings are certainly not the prizes for a promotional drama.

After returning to Beika Town,

The crazy dopamine secretion of Kogoro Mori before gradually faded away with his separation from Yoko Okino.

Kogoro Mori gradually became disappointed that he didn't get the huge bonus and only got a rubbing of an ancient book.

However, after sighing for several days, the check sent by the head of the Utsunomiya family cured him just the right symptoms.

He can be said to be a miracle doctor who can bring people back to life.

The moment he saw the check, Kogoro Mouri no longer felt dizzy and jumped up from the sofa, with money symbols rolling in his eyes.

When he saw that the check was worth 20 million yen, Kogoro Mori was so excited that his face was filled with expressions like “I’m rich, I’m rich, I’m rich…”

"I'm sorry, my dad isn't usually like this, please forgive me."

Mao Lilan was very embarrassed and tried to smooth things over, but she didn't expect the other party to hand her a check.

Besides her, Conan also has a share.

"This is a small gift from our master."

Unlike the standard social smile he gave Yuya Kazami, this time the butler was exceptionally friendly and the smile on his face seemed genuine.

Especially when looking at Conan, it adds a lot of warmth.

With the appearance of the treasure map of the Red Leaf Treasure, the secret code of the Gold Leaf reward was cracked, and the blood relationship test that had been sealed for three years was found.

The truth behind Utsunomiya Shoichi's death was completely revealed, and the father-son relationship between Utsunomiya Hiroshi and Utsunomiya Hirotaka was no longer a secret.

Utsunomiya Hirotaka, who received the news first, decided to go all out.

However, he didn't expect that after reading the message hidden in the gold leaf reward, Utsunomiya Hiroshi, who knew that his elder brother had known for a long time that he was not his biological brother, would turn against him on the spot.

The head of the Utsunomiya family was informed of this matter in advance.

Afterwards, the head of the Utsunomiya family, who was prepared, not only did not fall into the trap, but also caught the turtle in the jar.

During this period, in order to prevent Utsunomiya Hirotaka from noticing, and also for Ameng's safety.

The head of the Utsunomiya family also specifically entrusted A Mian to Akimi Kanehara, asking her to take A Mian to stay in Osaka for a few more days.

This is also the reason why Conan and his friends met A Mian again later.

After dealing with Utsunomiya Hirotaka, the head of the Utsunomiya family spent several days removing all the people that Utsunomiya Hirotaka had placed in various places.

So it was not until today that the head of the Utsunomiya family took the time to ask the butler to bring a check to express his gratitude to Yuya Kazami, Kogoro Mori and others.

Kogoro Mouri was holding the check, he was so happy that his soul had left his body and he was completely lost.

Ran Mouri and Conan refused several times, but were persuaded by the experienced butler to accept the check.

Having achieved the purpose of his trip, the butler did not stay too long and soon said goodbye.

Before leaving, the butler's last words were to Conan.

“By the way, Master A Mian knows that you will also attend the Beijo family wedding banquet at the end of the month.

So he specially asked me to tell you that he has prepared a surprise gift for you.

Said you would like it. "

Hearing this, Conan naturally showed his joy and anticipation.

In my heart, I am actually happy and looking forward to it.

Afterwards, after seeing off the butler, Maori Ran turned around and saw Maori Kogoro happily taking out beer from the refrigerator to celebrate his windfall.

So, she and Conan went to Kudo's house to avoid seeing anything.

in the living room,

Akai Shuichi, who had just returned from abroad yesterday and knew that Conan and the others were invited by Hojo Shuya to attend a wedding banquet at the end of this month, was the first to speak:

“Since it is a marriage between two major families, the grandfather of one of the families is a high-ranking government official such as the Chairman of the National Public Security Commission.

Then, for such a top social occasion, the Karasuma family should also send someone to attend. "

The organization's boss Karasuma Renya and Whiskey will probably also be present this time.

Conan immediately understood what Akai Shuichi meant:

“According to rumors from the outside, the person in charge of the Karasuma Group has been recuperating outside for many years due to poor health.

The Karasuma Group is currently being gradually taken over by its heirs."

It is unlikely that Karasuma Renya will be present, but it is very likely that Whiskey will be present.

"Conan, do you believe this kind of news?"

Masamune Sera didn't believe it at all.

Knowing that the relationship between Karasuma Renya and Whiskey was not harmonious and friendly, but on the contrary extremely bad, she did not believe at all that Karasuma Renya, as the boss of the organization, would hand over the Karasuma Group to Whiskey.

"Of course I don't believe it, but ordinary people think so.

Those in the upper class circles also think so.”

Therefore, it is unlikely that Karasuma Renya, who deliberately spread these rumors, would slap himself in the face at this time.

Understanding the meaning, Sera Masumi looked at his eldest brother and asked:

"Brother Xiu, are you planning to drink whiskey at the Hojo family's wedding banquet..."

Shuichi Akai did not answer, but sometimes not answering is already an answer.

Conan spoke quickly, eager to dispel Akai Shuichi's idea, which he didn't know what it was but was definitely dangerous:

“Mr. Akai, you also said that the Hojo family’s wedding was a marriage between two major families.

The security force for this kind of occasion must be top-notch.

Also, Hojo Shuya's grandfather is the chairman of the Public Security Commission, so the security of this wedding banquet may be another collaboration between the Metropolitan Police Department and the Public Security Bureau."

You want to take advantage of this opportunity to attack Whiskey, but whether you can succeed is another matter. However, if something happens to the heir of the Karasuma Group, it will definitely attract the attention of the police and public security.

"Mr. Akai, don't forget that you are the FBI."

Conan warned sternly.

Kidnapping the heir of the Karasuma Group will definitely result in the police and the public security being jointly wanted.

He might even appear on TV and become the country's most wanted criminal, the one with the highest bounty.

Think about Kaito Kid, think about the police all over Tokyo that night, Mr. Akai, please don't have such thoughts.

"Among the five core cadres of the organization, the only one whose identity and whereabouts we can confirm is Whiskey.

This kind of opportunity is rare.”

Did Shuichi Akai think about what Conan said? Of course he did.

But in this world, nothing is without risk.

Ever since he knew that Karasuma Sounobu was Whiskey, Shuichi Akai never gave up on catching Whiskey.

It was just that at the first Spring Sakura Dinner, he had too little time to act and he knew too little intelligence, so he had never expected that Whiskey would have such high skills.

The second time he was in Berry Country, his identity was restricted, and he did not expect that Whiskey's means of breaking through the situation and counterattacking would be so ruthless and neat.

His original plan was crushed to pieces, without even a start.

And this third time, he fell into Whiskey's chess game from the very beginning, and every move he made afterwards was within Whiskey's calculations.

But it was through these actions that he found out the true identity of Whiskey and obtained information about his father from him.

You know, the reason why Shuichi Akai joined the FBI was to find the whereabouts of his father Tsumugi Akai.

He chose to go undercover in the Black Organization because he found out that his father's disappearance was related to the Black Organization.

After seventeen years of painstaking investigation, the only clue is on whiskey. If only it could lead to the whereabouts of my father.

Not to mention that he was just wanted by the Japanese police and public security, even if he was no longer a member of the FBI and became a real wanted criminal, he would still feel it was worth it.

Conan looked at the firm look in Akai Hide's eyes and suddenly asked:

"Mr. Akai, when we were chasing Bourbon and his brother, what else was in the mechanical box that Bourbon opened for you besides the pocket watch?"

Masumi Sera immediately turned her head to look over. She knew that her elder brother had received a mechanical box from Whiskey's men.

I also saw the pocket watch that was definitely the one my father was carrying before he disappeared.

She had also seen a family photo in a pocket watch, which was taken before she was born.

But, is there anything else in the box? Xiu Ge didn't tell her.

However, she seemed to have never seen the mechanical box again.

Akai Shuichi's expression did not change at all:

"No, there was only a pocket watch in that box."

"But Mr. Akai was in a hurry to close the box. If there was really only one pocket watch, why did he close the box so suddenly?"

Conan recalled the situation at that time and said firmly:

"When Mr. Akai opened the box, he was stunned and must have seen the pocket watch in the box at first glance.

But after several seconds, the box was suddenly closed again.

The box was not big, but its depth was far more than the thickness of a pocket watch.

Moreover, I still remember the posture when you took out the pocket watch to check it, Mr. Akai. The pocket watch was held flat.

When he held it, the third knuckle of Mr. Akai's index finger was still exposed, and it was clearly visible.

Afterwards, Mr. Akai put the pocket watch back and paused for a moment.

Shuichi Akai didn't expect Conan to remember it so clearly. He even remembered how he held the pocket watch and how many joints were exposed on his fingers.

Mao Lilan looked enlightened and said:

“That is to say, the pocket watch was lying flat in the box.

The third finger joint of the index finger can be seen clearly, which shows that the pocket watch is placed very shallowly.

There will be a sudden pause, which is when the compartment is opened and the things inside are seen.

So in addition to the pocket watch, there should be something else in the box, but it was placed in the interlayer.

And that thing is the reason why Mr. Akai suddenly closed the box."

Conan nodded proudly:

"That's right, Xiaolan said exactly what I wanted to express in that paragraph just now."

Mao Lilan suddenly felt her face getting hot.

Sera Masumi once again looked at her eldest brother. She couldn't cure Xiu Ge, but someone could:

"Brother Xiu, if you don't tell me, I will tell mom about this news, but mom probably won't know either."

When Shuichi Akai raised his eyes, he saw Masumi Sera took out his cell phone. It was obvious that if he didn't say anything, the call would be dialed to someone in the next second.

Then Ms. Mary would quickly rush back from outside and use various means to force him to reveal the news.

Shuichi Akai, who did not want to compete with his biological mother in a battle of wits and courage and experience the interrogation methods of MI6's top agents, was very tactful and did not wait until Masumi Sera pressed her finger on the dial button.

He admitted that Conan's reasoning was completely correct and revealed what was in the mezzanine.

"It's a tube of blood, a tube of blood that was no older than three days."

Masumi Sera realized something from these words, and she opened her eyes wide with a hint of anticipation.

“I divided the blood into seven parts, five of which, along with my own, were sent to different people to go to different local identification agencies for testing.

The sixth one was delivered by me personally.”

Masumi Sera held her breath, waiting for Akai Shuichi's last words.

"The results of the six blood samples all show that I am the father of the donor of another blood sample."

After Akai Shuichi finished speaking, the living room fell silent.

Conan, who had prepared countless reasons to dissuade Shuichi, finally realized at this moment that no matter what he said, Akai Shuichi would not change his decision.

After searching for his father's whereabouts for seventeen years, he finally found a definite clue. If it were him, there was no way he would give up.

"Brother Xiu, what plans do you have? What can I do in this?"

Conan looked up in shock, watching Sera Masumi change his position in an instant, and even set out to kidnap Whiskey, and plan to bring her mother Akai Mary into the group as well.

I couldn't find the words to say for a moment.

By the way, let's consider the reality first. I'm not sure whether Whiskey will go or not.

They discussed how to take action, how to retreat, how to smuggle people abroad through smuggling channels, and even how to use the FBI and MI6 to divert attention and what to do if they were discovered.

This thinking speed is a bit too fast.

No! This feels like we're heading towards becoming an international wanted criminal.

Conan felt something was not right the more he listened. He looked at Akai Shuichi and Sera Masumi, who did not treat him and Xiaolan as outsiders at all, and quickly began to persuade them earnestly.

Kidnapping has no future, and being an international wanted criminal has even less future.

Especially when the person you want to kidnap is Whiskey, consider the consequences of the 99% chance of failure.

The effort and reward are totally disproportionate. No, I should stop thinking about this terrible plan...

...

Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

Hojo Yoshinori soon learned that the Utsunomiya family had donated 1 billion taels of silver to the Public Security Bureau.

However, others were not slow to receive the news.

Therefore, before the 1 billion berry gold was credited to the accounts, many people had already secretly expressed their desire to get a piece of the pie.

However, at the moment, Hojo Lianzong has no intention of caring about this.

One reason is that now is not the time for someone of his level to come forward.

Secondly, there was a more important matter occupying his mind.

My grandson is getting married at the end of the month, which is a happy event.

But at this moment, Hojo Liansong received a mysterious express delivery.

The sender's name was blank, but the recipient's information was clear, specifying that it was sent to him.

In addition to a card with words on it, there was also a bouquet of flowers.

A bouquet of lilies in black, white and red.
