Winters in London get cold very quickly and the snow fell very early this year.

Before he knew it, Karasuma Soshin had been in the R&D experimental area for more than half a month.

Most of the time, he works in his laboratory with machine drawings and machinery.

From time to time, he would be dragged over by the old team leader and other core R&D staff to help out in an emergency and play the role of Doraemon.

Of course, he did more than just that during this period.

Johnnie Walker can be just a pure weapons and equipment developer, but whiskey cannot.

It is different from the peaceful yet lively and harmonious atmosphere here.

The new round of internal cleanup operations launched by Yamazaki and Chivas were carried out vigorously and vigorously.

It wasn't to the point of being panic-stricken, but the overall atmosphere was extremely serious and tense.

Especially when the news spread that the mysterious side sent people to disguise themselves and infiltrate the middle and high-level personnel of the equipment group, and even Crown's deputy was unfortunately caught.

The lower level of the equipment group was in a panic for a while.

It was not until he learned that his boss had completed his confinement punishment and was now in charge of Ying Country that he felt stable.

On the other side, Macallan and Crown did not make as much fanfare as Yamazaki and Chivas, but their investigation progress was no slower than the cleanup of Yamazaki and Chivas.

Various clues have been used to locate the location where Teska and others are being held.

All preliminary preparations for the rescue operation have been confirmed to be completed, and we are just waiting for action tonight.

As for what happens after this, the equipment team will naturally have to give a good return to the mysterious side for their uninvited visit.

Diogia, who serves as the leader, has been spending all his time on intensive online meetings and discussions with other senior executives, except for his daily work.

The preliminary plan has been formed and the details of the plan are now being refined.

Once the rescue operation at McAllen's end is completed and the cleanup at Yamazaki's end is finalized, this plan will be presented to Karasuma Soshin.

Toru Amuro, who has already returned to Neon, has also participated in it, but he currently has only one direct subordinate who is not even a code name member.

There is not much difference between him and a commander without any troops.

In addition, he had just taken advantage of the police's investigation into the source of guns behind Xiao Jiang Guangfu to destroy a gun smuggling line that also supplied guns to the Ni Canhui.

Successfully got in touch with a middle-level manager who was in charge of purchasing firearms at the Nican Conference.

So although he participated in these online meetings, he could only listen as an observer.

From these meetings, Toru Amuro also gained a clearer understanding of the excellence of Karasuma Soshin's trusted subordinates.

While lamenting that these people were excellent and difficult to deal with, Toru Amuro was thinking more about Karasuma Soshin who did not show up in these meetings.

Before going to Ying Country to attend Xiang's birthday party, he disguised himself and went to a secret meeting on a sunny afternoon.

After knocking on the door of the extremely secretive private residence, Toru Amuro, dressed as a housekeeper, met the simply dressed Hojo Liansong in the reception room.

In addition, there is also Masahiko Sanada dressed in casual clothes.

Toru Amuro didn't expect that there would be a third person in this meeting.

But he did not show it, and greeted Masahiko Sanada as usual.

Masahiko Sanada also didn't expect to meet Toru Amuro here.

He looked at Toru Amuro, who was dressed like a domestic servant, and heard his inexplicably familiar voice, and someone came to his mind unconsciously.

Tentatively asked:

"Have I seen you before? That night in Kanagawa Central Hospital in May of this year?"

Amuro Toru's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Hojo Yoshimune who was silent beside him, without denying it.

"Yes, I used a bit of a disguise that night. I'm sorry."

Masahiko Sanada instantly understood Toru Amuro's identity.

Recalling that experience and his speculation at the time, he couldn't help but ask:

"Then did you go to the hospital that night on the orders of my eldest brother?"

Amuro Toru nodded.

A complex expression that was difficult to express in words suddenly appeared on Masahiko Sanada's face.

Hojo Lianzong saw that the two men had finished their brief conversation and asked them to sit down at the right time:

“Now that you have met, you must have a rough idea of ​​each other’s identities.

However, in order for the subsequent conversation to proceed smoothly, I will still give you a formal introduction.

Masahiko Sanada, Chief of the First Section of the Security Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, with the rank of Superintendent of Police, is the soon-to-be-appointed executor of the Tianxi Project.

Ying, leader of Team Zero of the National Police Agency's Security Planning Division, is currently undercover in the Black Organization, with the rank of Superintendent, and served as the dark executor of the Tianxi Project seven years ago.

Toru Amuro and Masahiko Sanada were both lost in thought about the Tianxi plan mentioned in Hojo Lianmune's words.

Hojo Lianzong briefly explained the Tianxi plan during the silence between the two.

When they heard the requirements for selecting the open executors, Toru Amuro and Masahiko Sanada both thought of Karasuma Soshin.

Just when Masahiko Sanada couldn't help but ask, from the expression on Masahiko Sanada's face, it was Hojo Yoshimune who gave the answer first.

“The reason why the open executor of the Tianxi Project has been vacant for so many years is not only because there are almost no people who can meet all these requirements at the same time.

Even if there was, her ability would be hard to match that of Sakura, and they wouldn't be able to achieve the perfect state of supporting each other and working together as envisioned in the plan.

Also, I once had a perfect person in my mind.

Whether in terms of family background, ability, or temperament, he is the most suitable."

It is because I have seen such an excellent Crescent Moon Pill.

Later, when Hojo Lianzong looked at the outstanding candidates nominated by other senior officials, he was always extremely picky.

A senior executive once advised him not to be so harsh, saying that many things can be cultivated over time.

But Hojo Yoshinori, who had seen the bright sunshine, never gave in.

In other words, the vacancy has been too long. If it is not filled, the situation of Furuya Rei, as a dark side executor, will become increasingly difficult.

The gap that needs to be bridged between the light and dark executors will become larger and larger.

Masahiko Sanada meets most of the requirements and is the most suitable one among all the candidates.

The attitudes of many reformist senior officials changed after the Yue Group collapsed and reorganized, and the conservatives gained more than half of the control.

Only then did Hojo Lianzong tacitly agree at the latest secret meeting that Sanada Masahiko would be the obvious executor of the Tianxi plan.

The team was selected from outstanding police officers from all over the country in order to make up for this gap and the shortcomings of Masahiko Sanada himself.

"That person is your eldest brother."

Hearing Hojo Lianmune say this with certainty, Sanada Masahiko couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

The open executor of the Tianxi Project was obviously tailor-made for the big brother.

His elder brother is so outstanding. If he were a policeman, he would be a thousand times better than him.

but…

Masahiko Sanada clenched his fists and looked at Hojo Lianzong with red eyes:

"My eldest brother's disappearance wasn't an accident, nor was it a case of running away from home, right?"

Masahiko Sanada suddenly recalled that his father and grandfather had never given a direct answer to the question of whether his eldest brother's disappearance was his eldest brother's original intention.

Those words were all meant to guide him to think in other directions.

But if the eldest brother did not run away from home on his own, but was targeted by that organization from the very beginning, then his subsequent disappearance was a secret kidnapping by that organization from the very beginning.

So, why did that organization specifically target Big Brother?

Yes, the information says that Big Brother is the leader of the Black Organization's equipment group and is good at weapons manufacturing and equipment research and development.

But he never knew.

If Big Brother had been intentionally hiding it, how did the organization know about it?

Also, if the above reasoning is true, the eldest brother was really targeted by that organization and then sent people to capture him.

So, the files on Big Brother in the police academy disappeared.

Isn’t it because the top brass of the police academy are angry that the top student in the professional group fooled them, and then ran away from home after passing the exam, and they are afraid that it will be embarrassing if it gets out?

Instead, some people were colluding with the Black Organization, arresting people while erasing archival materials.

Breaking out of the illusion created for him by Kenjiro Sanada and Masahiko Sanada, Masahiko Sanada, whose inherent cognition was shattered, suddenly realized something.

I was so stupid that I ignored so many doubts before.

But then, an idea suddenly came to Masahiko Sanada's mind.

Is it true that Chairman Hojo doesn't know all this?

Looking at the excited expression on Masahiko Sanada's face, which was trying hard to suppress but still revealed, and the calm look given by Toru Amuro.

Hojo Lianzong was silent for two seconds and nodded slightly.

"Yes, your eldest brother's disappearance was not an accident, nor was he running away from home. He was kidnapped in a premeditated manner."

Masahiko Sanada stood still.

It turned out to be like this, it turned out to be like this. His father and grandfather were both lying to him.

He was still holding on to a last glimmer of hope, hoping that he had guessed wrong, hoping that everything he had imagined was false.

However, a word from Hojo Lianzong directly shattered that expectation.

Just as people never easily break their inherent cognition, Masahiko Sanada never thought that his father and grandfather would deceive him about this matter.

Masahiko Sanada couldn't figure out why, but what he wanted to know more now was another question.

"It seems that you already knew about it. Then, my brother's disappearance should not only involve that organization.

My eldest brother's sudden disappearance of his police academy files, my father and grandfather's reluctance to talk about it, and your knowledge of it a long time ago.

Is it because of the Tianxi Project? "

Because some people do not want the Tianxi Plan to be implemented, and do not want the big brother who perfectly fits the requirements of the Tianxi Plan to be in place.

So when they learned that the Black Organization was searching for a mechanical genius, and conducted in-depth investigations and discovered that their eldest brother had excellent mechanical talent, they planned this kidnapping.

right?

Hojo Lianmune nodded under Sanada Masahiko's stubborn gaze.

"Yes."

"Then why don't you save him! Big brother was targeted by that organization because of your Tianxi Project, why don't you save him."

Masahiko Sanada shouted excitedly, without even using honorifics.

Hojo Yoshimune did not answer.

After hearing everything, Amuro Toru looked at the tears that could not be suppressed in Sanada Masahiko's eyes and said:

“Because there is no way to save him.”

Facing the gaze of Sanada Masahiko, Amuro Toru said calmly:

"The Black Organization is a transnational criminal group with a huge influence and complex connections. Its tentacles extend into many fields and it has branches in many countries around the world.

There are no less than ten bases in Tokyo alone.

Your elder brother is a talent valued by the leader of the organization. Once he falls into the hands of the organization, he will be sent to the most heavily guarded place for detention before confirming his surrender to the organization.

And this location must be very secretive."

After a pause, Amuro Toru continued:

"The organization's members are divided into different levels, and the organization's bases are divided in the same way.

I don't have enough authority, not only can I not get in, I don't even know where it is.

Now, I know only part of it.”

Looking at Sanada Masahiko's calm expression, Amuro Toru said the last words:

“I have been undercover in the Black Organization since I graduated.

For seven years, I spent countless efforts and went through layers of cruel assessments. Only at the end of last year, I was promoted to a senior code member of the Black Organization and initially stepped into the core of the organization.

And your eldest brother, as soon as he joined the organization, was parachuted into a core cadre position and became the leader of the equipment group in one of the five major departments of the organization.

In fact, all of this had already been decided by the leader of the organization before he joined.

His excellence and his extraordinary talent in mechanics meant that once the organization captured him, they would never let him go.

There would be no chance for the police to rescue the person.”

So, from the moment the whiskey fell into the hands of the organization, everything was too late.

Mini-theater 1: Main World Card-drawing Movie-Gin's Weakness (IV)

[Gin questioned this:

"What do you have to do as an ordinary patrol chief?"

Putting the empty cup on the table, Yueyawan raised his feet and put them on the sofa, changing from a sitting position to a more comfortable lying position, and spoke with a lot of resentment:

“Don’t mention it. I don’t know what went wrong with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. They said they want to compile criminal case data from all over the country over the past 20 years.

Only ten days were given.

These past few days, I have been taken to the police station every day by my boss, who is always a complainer, to sort out the information.

Not to mention getting off work late, it takes twice as long to get home.

This time I came here, I found an excuse to skip work.

Otherwise, according to my normal working hours these days, you will have to wait at least three more hours. ”】

On the red side seats (including Conan and other characters from the Metropolitan Police Department),

Inspector Megure and others all looked gloomy.

In the third-party seats (people who have not appeared in the main world plot),

The middle-aged police inspector, who was known as the snitch, stared fiercely at the short-haired man in the front row, his face flushed with anger:

"Edogawa Getsuga!"

The picture on the screen stopped at the right moment.

In the quiet viewing space, the murderous voice of the middle-aged police captain instantly attracted countless eyes.

But then, the red and black sides followed the middle-aged police inspector's line of sight and saw a young man with dark red hair and eyes, a sharp and handsome appearance, and a rebellious look between his brows.

The point is, it's exactly the same as on the screen.

There is a guy next to him who looks exactly the same but has black hair and black eyes. He looks like a brother.

On the other side sat an older woman wearing a police uniform who looked 80% similar to him.

The red and black team's gazes lingered on the faces of the three people.

Yueyawan, who was being stared at closely, turned his head and picked his ears while speaking bluntly:

"Tsk, why are you shouting so loudly!"

He is noisy and nagging, and always likes to complain to my mother and others.

The poor middle-aged police inspector's hands were shaking for a long time because of the anger he was giving him, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Just as Yuuki Sanada was about to speak, she saw a flash of light appearing on Yuegamaru's seat, and then the person and the chair appeared in the first row of seats on the red team.

Next to him was Toru Amuro, who had moved from the black seat not long ago.

[Position change completed, movie viewing continues]
