In the corridor outside the Metropolitan Police Department meeting room.
Qin Zhibo looked down at Conan and gave him a look.
Conan, who had already developed a tacit understanding, understood immediately, turned around and tugged at the hem of Xiaolan's clothes.
Secret skill·Urine Escape!
"Sister Xiaolan, I want to pee!"
"Well, go ahead."
Mao Lilan agreed immediately and was not surprised by this request.
Moreover, this is the Metropolitan Police Department. For a frequent visitor like Conan, it is as familiar as his own living room.
So, Conan went to the toilet with Qin Zhibo.
After walking through a corridor and turning the corner, the two of them came to the men's room.
At this time, Yamamura Cao had just finished washing his hands in the men's restroom and shook the water on his hands in the sink.
"Eh? Mr. Qin and Conan, the meeting is over and you haven't left yet?"
"Well, come and use the bathroom and leave later." Qin Zhibo replied.
"Oh, then I'll take the first step~"
Shan Cuncao hummed a little tune and walked out of the toilet.
Qin Zhibo and Conan entered the toilet at the back, and after confirming that there was no one in the cubicle, they started talking to Conan.
"Is there any new discovery in the case just discussed at the meeting?"
Conan asked proactively.
On the way to the toilet, he guessed that Qin Zhibo should be telling him about the case.
After all, with Qin Zhibo's reasoning ability, it was impossible for him to remain silent during the search meeting and allow Kogoro Mouri to talk nonsense alone.
"That's true, but it's much more important than the case itself..."
"The latest information from my undercover informant in the organization is that one of the organization's own undercover agents carries a list of the organization's undercover agents with him, and this list is stored in a memory card."
"The undercover agent was recently involved in a serial murder case, and the memory card storing the organization's undercover list was also taken away by the murderer..."
After Qin Zhibo finished speaking, Conan's brain reacted briefly and his eyes immediately widened.
His pupils suddenly opened wide, and he quickly asked: "Do you mean that person is one of the victims of this serial murder case!?"
"Well, I have confirmed the name and identity. He is the third deceased."
With that said, Qin Zhibo handed Conan the case information issued by the police.
Conan quickly opened the information and found Okakura Masaaki's name and related information on it.
Although he had just overheard a lot of case information through the bug, there was no need for Shiratori to repeat the case information, so it was the first time for Conan to see it.
Parliamentary Secretary…
Conan thought about it in his mind, and it seemed that the organization would indeed arrange for an undercover target to be lurked.
"That means that the organization is also looking for the murderer of Okakura Masaaki?"
Conan's mind was still smart and he immediately thought of the crux of the problem.
Qin Zhibo nodded slightly and said seriously: "The organization has sent a member of the organization code-named 'Ireland' to go out."
"But if you want to find the murderer, it is obviously the fastest and most convenient way to use the police."
"So I suspect that Ireland might have been eavesdropping on the search meeting just now..."
When Qin Zhibo said this, Conan instantly understood why Qin Zhibo didn't provide any insights into the case just now.
Moreover, Mouri Kogoro, who was serious about talking nonsense, actually did something good by mistake.
At the very least, it can mislead Ireland to investigate along the wrong lines and delay it for a while.
But then, Qin Zhibo changed the subject.
"But just now after the meeting, I searched the conference room and found no eavesdropping equipment."
"In this case, there are only two possibilities. One is that the bug is placed on someone and he has been taken out of the conference room."
"The other is that Ireland pretends to be a police officer and sneaks into the search meeting."
Pretending to be a police officer?
Conan's expression suddenly froze, and he recalled the "Thousand-Faced Witch" in the organization, Belmode.
Sneaking in under disguise is Belmod's special skill.
Although Belmod can also help others disguise themselves, this mission is obviously also very important, and Belmod is deeply trusted, wouldn't it be better to send her directly?
Qin Zhibo continued: "Considering that if someone is asked to carry a bug, a police officer himself is required to be an undercover agent of the organization, so there is no need to send Ireland out."
"So I prefer the second option..."
Ever since the "Kinoshita Tomonori" incident, Qin Zhibo knew that there were organized undercover agents in the Metropolitan Police Department.
However, this person has been helping the organization obtain internal police intelligence for a long time. If this person is also involved in this case, there is no need to send an extra Irish person to execute it.
So it is possible that this person was not included in the search meeting.
At this time, Conan also held his chin up, recalling the "abnormal" scene he encountered in the corridor just now.
What was originally just a joke that everyone is not the same, turned out to be someone's identity may be replaced by Ireland?
Both Chiba and Shiratori have become fatter than before.
The flavors of the drinks of the brothers Shenwu and Chongwu were exchanged.
As for everyone else…
Conan began to carefully recall the details of the scene that had just happened.
…
At the same time, in the corridor outside the conference room, the police officers from various places who came to handle the case had not dispersed and were still gathering together to communicate.
"What, Conan went to the toilet again?"
"Why does this kid always pee so much?"
Mouri Kogoro originally wanted to go back to the office early to watch Okino Yoko's program, but was told by Mouri Ran that Conan was still in the toilet, which made him a little angry.
At this time, Yamamura Cao came over and said, "I just came out of the toilet and happened to pass by Conan, and Mr. Qin was also with him."
"Really?" Mouri Kogoro muttered, with a hint of jealousy in his words: "The relationship between them is quite good..."
Mao Lilan also echoed, with a smile on her lips, "Yes, Conan and Mr. Qin have been very close recently, even Hattori Heiji is a little jealous~"
Last night while talking on the phone with Toyama and Ye, Mao Lilan heard Toyama and Ye say that Hattori Heiji complained all the way back to Osaka because Conan and Qin Zhibo didn't take him with them to investigate the case.
At this moment, Ogino Ayami from Saitama Prefecture came over and asked: "Has that little brother often acted with Mr. Qin before?"
"Generally speaking, in a hostage rescue situation like yesterday, you wouldn't take children with you, right?"
What Aya Ogino was talking about was the actions of Qin Zhibo and Conan going to rescue Xiaoguang.
Although the person was rescued, he still couldn't understand the behavior of bringing primary school students to rescue people.
Takagi Wataru sat over at this time, with a slightly excited expression on his face: "As Conan said, there have been many rescue operations, and each time the situation was very dangerous, but the child was able to save the day."
Henggou Sensou also nodded and praised: "Maybe it's because I often hear Mr. Mori's reasoning, and occasionally he gives amazing tips!"
"And he will notice some interesting little details that even us experts often miss..."
Sato also didn’t hesitate to praise.
Facing the rave reviews, Mao Lilan smiled and couldn't help but recall Kudo Shinichi in her mind.
When he was young, Kudo Shinichi also had a sense of justice and loved to fight against injustice.
But at that time, Kudo Shinichi would often do wrong things with good intentions, and he was so childish and cute.
Although Conan is as brave as Kudo Shinichi, he never makes mistakes, and sometimes he even matures like an adult.
If Conan grows up, he might be even better than Shinichi...
"By the way, Xiaolan, didn't you go to England some time ago?"
"Have you met Shinichi?"
At this time, Mu Mu came over and asked.
The reason why Megure knew that Kudo Shinichi was in the UK was because a suspect who looked like Kudo Shinichi was found in the shopping mall where Chiba was attacked last time.
In order to eliminate the suspicion, Mao Lilan called Kudo Shinichi and learned that Kudo Shinichi was in the UK.
Of course, it was just that Conan, who was at the scene, found out that he wanted to call himself, and casually made up a location that the police could not verify.
Unexpectedly, the Maori family were later invited to London.
"Yes, I saw it."
"Is he okay now?"
"Very good. Thank you for your concern." Mao Lilan bowed slightly to express her gratitude.
"So, has Shinichi returned to Japan now?"
Faced with this question from Mu Mu, Mao Lilan hesitated.
Because Kudo Shinichi said on the phone before that his return to Japan should be kept low-key and not mentioned to anyone.
Of course, it's best to pretend he doesn't exist at all.
After experiencing some bad things that happened in the UK, Mao Lilan also understood the reason why Kudo Shinichi cannot show up often.
"I'm sorry, Officer Megure, I don't know where he is right now..."
"oh……"
Mu Mu groaned, "Then there's nothing we can do..."
At this time, Manager Matsumoto, who was standing behind Megure, took a step forward and asked, "What can't be done?"
Megure turned around and replied, "Brother Shinichi's reasoning ability is also very good. I think if he comes back, he might be able to help investigate this case."
"Oh?" Manager Matsumoto's eyes changed slightly, "It's a pity this time..."
…
In the toilet, Conan told Qin Zhibo about the "abnormalities" he had just seen.
However, Qin Zhibo felt that these "abnormalities" could not explain anything.
Although you can use [Contact Investigation] to confirm the true identity of everyone one by one.
But not only will this easily arouse people's suspicions, but if there is no Ireland in the middle, it will be a complete waste of time.
What's more important at the moment is to find the memory card that records the organization's undercover list.
In contrast, the existence of Ireland only shows that there is a potential competitor within the police.
"Instead of spending time looking for an undercover agent, we should focus on solving the case and finding the murderer."
"As long as we find the memory card faster, we already win."
Qin Zhibo's words made Conan nod in understanding.
Conan raised his head, and his childish-looking face was completely serious and serious that only adults can have.
"Then we will meet at the doctor's house later."
This is not a good place for discussion, Conan has agreed on another location.
When the two of them came out of the toilet, Mouri Kogoro was already a little impatient.
The police officers who were gathered in the corridor just now also left one after another and went about their own business.
Due to Mouri Kogoro's successful misleading, the police planned to first confirm whether the several victims were poker friends.
Conan came to Mao Lilan and said in a sweet voice: "Sister Xiaolan, the doctor just called and said that there is a new game for me to try, so I won't go back to the office."
"Also, I won't go back tonight..."
"Ah? Playing games all night again?" Mao Lilan looked worried, "But you still have to go back to the office with us first, right? This way you can get closer to the doctor's house..."
"No, I'll take Uncle Qin's car. It happens that Uncle Qin is also going to Chengshi Hospital."
"Really?" Mao Lilan cast a questioning look at Qin Zhibo.
Qin Zhibo put his hand on Conan's head, rubbed it, and said with a smile: "Yes, I will just send this kid there."
When Mouri Kogoro heard this, he immediately turned around and left with his hands in his pockets, complaining as he walked, "Oh, I've been waiting for so long in vain, and I almost missed Yoko's show..."
"Let's go! Xiaolan."
"Dad~" Mao Lilan looked back at Maori Kogoro's back, and bowed slightly to Qin Zhibo.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Conan."
"Um."
After the Maori father and daughter took a taxi and left, Qin Zhibo and Conan also came to the parking lot and got into the red Mustang convertible.
While fastening his seat belt, Conan looked at this familiar car and said casually: "You haven't replaced this car yet?"
"I originally wanted to change it, but I already have feelings..."
"And this car was won by guessing and saved several lives. After all, it can be regarded as a 'car favored by the god of luck', right?"
This car was won by Qin Zhibo at the opening ceremony of the Twin Skyscrapers in Nishitama City by guessing with Kogoro Mori and using his lucky debuff.
Later, Toru Amuro drove this car and relied on his superb driving skills to carry three little ones, Haibara Aika and Qin Zhibo, and leap into the swimming pool of another building, successfully saving his life.
"That's right..."
Conan smiled, remembering what happened at that time
Suddenly, his expression was stunned, and he suddenly remembered that after the sports car landed, the three little ones said they heard the sound of monsters in the building.
At that time, Conan didn't care because Mount Fuji was about to erupt and it was normal to have auditory hallucinations.
But now...
"By the way, during that incident Mitsuhiko and the others said they heard the roar of monsters and the like in the building? Is this true?"
"It's true." Qin Zhibo replied without changing his expression.
"Oh..." Conan lowered his head slightly, but his brain reacted the next second and raised his head suddenly.
"What! Then..."
Suddenly, Qin Zhibo stepped on the accelerator.
The red Mustang convertible jumped out of the parking space like a real wild horse.
Conan's words were also interrupted by this sudden pushing feeling on his back.
At the same time, in front of the high-rise office window of the Metropolitan Police Building, a burly figure stood by the window, looking down at the red sports car driving out of the Metropolitan Police compound.
In that pitch-black pupil, a trace of undetectable sternness flashed.
