Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

"We were partners once, but the other party didn't show up at the time. We just communicated remotely."

Hearing the strangeness in Okiya Subaru's tone, Edogawa Conan thought of what Haibara Ai once said, and he suddenly had an idea, "Could it be that Mr. Okiya has also been betrayed by Limu?"

Subaru Okiya recalled the only time he worked with Limu when he was still undercover in the organization.

After the mission was completed, the building where he was suddenly exploded. When he finally found a way to escape from the explosion, he was surrounded by the FBI just after he escaped. Thinking about it now, he still felt as if everything went black.

He originally thought that the organization had discovered his undercover identity and wanted to kill him, so he directly detonated the eight eggs, but he didn't expect that he would be greeted by his teammates' guns. If he hadn't had James and the others to support him, he might have been beaten by his FBI teammates that time.

The situation at that time was the first time since his father disappeared that he felt that his brain was not enough. He was confused and puzzled. Even the sudden exposure of his identity later on did not make him feel that it was... well, so exciting.

Later, he returned to the organization's base with injuries. Before considering whether to tell Gin about this, he first met the person in charge of the base.

He learned about Limu's habit from the other party's completely unsurprised attitude, and also learned from the person in charge of the base about the organization's punishment for Limu's behavior.

Then he no longer hesitated and told Gin that he was almost killed by Limu.

Later, he also learned from Gin that the organization had punished Limu.

Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to contact Limu and see what was going on with this member of the organization, but he didn't expect his identity to be exposed so quickly, so he had to evacuate urgently.

But if Limu returned to Japan... he thought he could try to contact him, after all, the other party did not seem to be particularly loyal to the organization.

Seeing that Okiya Subaru didn't speak for a long time, Edogawa Conan thought he was right. Based on the information told to him by Haibara Ai, he imagined the scene that might happen at that time.

Although it was immoral and even a bit of a hellish joke, he still felt like laughing.

Suppressing his smile, Edogawa Conan turned his head to look at Okiya Subaru, "Mr. Subaru, what happened to her at that time?"

Without waiting for Conan to continue asking, Okiya Subaru forcibly changed the subject, "Conan-kun, can you tell me what happened in Nishitama City at that time?"

The police did not release much information about what happened in Nishitama City, only saying that wiring problems led to the explosion and fire, and even the fact that there were explosives was only known to a small number of people.

Previously, Subaru Okiya and the FBI thought it was just an accident that day. After all, there were no casualties, so they did not pay much attention to it.

Now that he knew that members of the organization were taking action that day, he thought he should get more information from Conan who was present that day. After all, this kid often has a different perspective than them, and he definitely didn't mean to interrupt the kid's question just now!

Conan looked at Okiya Subaru for a while, but being "considerate" he finally followed the other's thoughts and told Okiya Subaru what happened in Nishitama City that day.

However, he also secretly took note of it in his mind and decided to ask Huibara if she knew about the matter that Mr. Akai had avoided.

If he hadn't guessed that Mr. Amuro didn't know about this matter, he might have been able to get more information by asking Mr. Amuro.

......

"Conan-kun, are you saying that after you evacuated the building, you saw a mysterious man who looked like a public security officer?"

After listening to Conan's brief summary, Subaru Okiya had a general understanding of what happened that night, and the method did seem to be done by Limu.

The public security officer that Conan mentioned at the end of the entire narrative also made him particularly concerned.

Conan nodded, "It's just my inference, it hasn't been confirmed yet, but I always feel like I've seen that person somewhere."

Or rather, he always felt as if he had seen those eyes somewhere.

Subaru Okiya remembered a person based on Conan's description, the Scotsman who also had his undercover identity exposed and escaped from the organization. He remembered that the organization had investigated and found out that the other party belonged to the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

He had realized from his previous confrontations with Toru Amuro that there must be someone behind the other party who was helping him with means comparable to theirs.

Especially last time, if he hadn't had the help of Mr. Kudo and his wife and Conan, he might not have been able to successfully sit down and talk with Bourbon.

"Mr. Subaru, do you know the mysterious man I was talking about?"

After the other party knew that Mr. Amuro was Bourbon but didn't tell him anything, Conan became much smarter.

He just said that when the incident happened that day, he was observing the people around him. After seeing that the other party was obviously thinking, Conan asked decisively.

"I do have a suspect in mind."

This time, Subaru Okiya did not deliberately hide the truth from him like he did before, "Before me, there was an undercover agent in the organization codenamed Scotch Whisky who once exposed his identity and successfully escaped.

There were two theories in the organization at the time. One was that the other party killed the members of the organization who were chasing him, and the other was that the other party had an insider in the organization who knew in advance that his identity was exposed, so he prepared to escape in advance. "

"Which one do you think it is, Subaru?"

"the second."

Subaru Okiya stated his judgment without any hesitation, "Among the people who were chasing the enemy, only I and another peripheral member were chasing the closest. Although the rest of the people were also chasing Scotland, they were still some distance away.

My original plan was to catch up with Scotland, reveal my identity, and then help him escape from the organization, but when I was about to catch up with him, I was attacked by a mysterious man.

Later I heard that the peripheral members of the organization were also killed by Scotland, and Scotland also successfully disappeared from the organization's sight and completely escaped the organization's pursuit. "

One thing he was sure of was that there must have been someone from within the organization who helped Scotland escape, and he was sure that person was not Bourbon.

It was the first time Conan heard that there was a person who managed to escape from the organization after his undercover identity was exposed. "Who is he?"

Okiya Subaru shook his head, "I only know that Scotland's identity should be a Japanese public security officer, and I only heard about it. I don't know his specific identity or name.

At that time, some people in the organization said that the insider who infiltrated the Metropolitan Police Department was caught by the public security, and some said that the Metropolitan Police Department could no longer find any information about Scotland. There were many different opinions, and it was not known whether they were true or not.

However, others don’t know, but Poirot certainly knows who Scotland is, and if the mysterious man you saw that day was really Scotland, he should have gone to help him.”

At this point, Okiya Subaru thought of something else, "By the way, do you remember that time at the dock?"

Conan nodded, as if he had thought of something, "Mr. Subaru, are you saying that the mysterious man was also Mr. Scotland?"

Subaru Okiya also nodded. He guessed it was Scotland at that time, but he was not 100% sure of Bourbon's identity at that time, so he just guessed it in his mind and didn't tell anyone.

"We have arrived at our destination."

The distance from Beika Town to Saitama Prefecture is not too far, and it only takes about an hour to drive.

Subaru Okiya looked at the ruins surrounded by the cordon and said, "Let's investigate this case first."
