At Dr. Agasa's house, Conan pushed up his glasses and finally showed a long-missing smile.
This time, he had beaten the Organization, which made him realize that although they had all kinds of advanced tech, they were not invincible.
"Shinichi, this time you succeeded, right?" a woman said with a smile. She was extremely beautiful.
"I have to thank Mom for coming back just in time," Conan said sincerely.
She had returned yesterday, and he had met Yukiko Kudo. After a series of events, Yukiko learned that her son had been turned small.
Conan knew his mother could disguise herself, and combined with the signal jammer Dr. Agasa had invented, he instantly had a plan.
He arranged a private meeting with Rei Furuya and Shuichi Akai.
"Conan, what's wrong?" Rei Furuya asked, still treating Conan with a certain respect.
"We need to adjust this morning's plan," Conan said directly.
"How should we change it?" Rei asked, curious.
"My mom has amazing disguise skills. Since that's the case, we can make the Organization's members appear to die in front of their own people," Conan explained.
"Ha ha," Yukiko Kudo laughed when she heard her son praise her and immediately hugged Conan.
"Using a fake death to capture Organization members completely? Good. How do we carry it out?" Rei quickly understood.
"This mission has to be done by Mr. Akai. We must protect the Organization members, and if we can't capture them alive, they should be eliminated immediately," Conan said, looking at Shuichi Akai.
His plan naturally had a reason; the Organization seemed to have serious issues with the FBI.
"What about the tracking devices on them?" Akai asked, nodding thoughtfully.
"The signal jammer Dr. Agasa invented can interfere with their tracking. I tried it briefly before," Conan replied.
"In that case, we might not need to escort real people," Yukiko said.
"Aunt…"
"Aunt!?" Yukiko instantly turned angrily toward Rei.
"Mom, this won't work. The jammer interferes with specific locations. If their technology is stronger, they could track a rough area instead. If the area doesn't change and their routes differ, the Organization will suspect something," Conan explained, describing the limitation of the jammer in turning exact positions into vague areas.
"Alright, I'll take care of protecting the fake Chianti. You all decide which route the real Chianti will take," Shuichi Akai said, then closed his eyes to rest.
"Then let's use the dark under the light method. Place her in the vehicle without any guards and have my mom disguise her as someone else," Conan said after thinking, drawing on his experience at Ran's house.
"Okay, I'll get two extremely dangerous female criminals. Also, I'll leave an hour earlier in the morning," Rei told them his plan.
What happened next was what had already occurred before. Although the white-haired woman from the organization surprised them a little, the plan was still a complete success.
They captured a full-fledged member of the organization alive, and this member had already been completely abandoned by the group.
The Public Security Bureau had successfully transported Chianti while listening to the reports coming from below.
"Captain, one person was lost on Vehicle 1, and three others are seriously injured."
Rei Furuya nodded, somewhat satisfied with the results, considering that this place had been attacked by Gin's reckless actions.
"Was the tracking device removed?"
"Yes, it's already removed and is being treated." To make sure Chianti was not discovered, they had no choice but to act violently.
"Good. Next, we'll spend some effort interrogating her. Use whatever methods are necessary, but don't let her commit suicide," Rei naturally understood those lunatics' personalities. Even in death, they wouldn't reveal information.
Shuichi Akai went to Jodie's hospital room. Seeing her weak and listless, he told her everything that had happened today.
"That's great, that's great," Jodie cried loudly while lying on the bed.
Teitan High School.
"Ran, that foreigner is so pretty," Sonoko said, quickly pulling Ran to look outside at a woman.
Ran looked at Vermouth. She really did have a beautiful appearance.
Then the woman spoke a long passage in English. Sonoko was a little confused, and Ran was equally confused because her English wasn't that good.
Vermouth then began speaking in broken Japanese. "I just arrived in Japan. Do you know where the Beika Mall is?"
"We'll take you there," Ran said gently.
"That's wonderful," Vermouth said.
She followed the two girls. Of course, she didn't dare appear openly around Ran.
She had changed her disguise just to see this angel once more, and she also wanted to learn about Shinichi Kudo's whereabouts.
With Sonoko around, there was no worry about the topic not turning to boyfriends.
"Ran, has that guy Kudo contacted you?"
"Kudo?"
"Your boyfriend, of course, that detective fanatic," Sonoko said casually.
"No, he's not," Ran replied, blushing, though thinking about Shinichi's previous feelings left her a little uneasy.
"And your boyfriend?" Vermouth asked in awkward Japanese.
"That guy? He left Ran, a beautiful girl, and went off somewhere who knows where," Sonoko sighed, really not understanding what Shinichi Kudou was thinking.
"No, Shinichi went to handle a very important case. We shouldn't disturb him," Ran explained for Shinichi.
"No matter how important, he can't just leave Ran like that," Sonoko said angrily.
"Sonoko," Ran said gently, hinting for her to calm down.
Soon, they arrived at the Beika Shopping Mall, and Vermouth bid them farewell.
From Ran, it was confirmed that Shinichi Kudo was not dead, which made the previously confirmed death list quite interesting.
"Sherry, huh," Vermouth thought, deciding to confirm it personally.
At the Kudo residence, lights were on inside.
"Anyone here?" Vermouth calmly passed by, confirming the presence of Yukiko Kudo and a young boy. She knew Yukiko well, and she knew there was no second child.
Considering the earlier disappearance and then the reported death, Vermouth smiled.
Sherry had only double-checked, but to cover the act, it still depended on her. Shinichi Kudo's death needed to be verified.
This time, she didn't make contact and left directly. Gin thought that Shuichi Akai would be the "silver bullet," but her intuition told her it was Shinichi Kudo.
At the laboratory.
"Gin failed," Ren stated the fact, unaware that this incident was caused entirely by him.
"Oh," Shiho continued observing the lab mice.
Ren joined Shiho, observing the mice together. Compared with Ren from other worlds, his presence in this incident was too weak. His approach also mattered; a researcher causing trouble instead of researching…
Still, he had confirmed the progress of events. From the moment the other party interfered with his signals, he had developed counter-interference methods and uncovered the truth.
In the world of Detective Conan, it had to be admitted, if he didn't use force, dealing with those people would be very hard. Using only brains, they were not on the same level.
He didn't bother giving Gin or Vermouth eye drops. They had notified him by email. Arguing back would only cause trouble.
Also, Chianti was just a sniper for the organization, only responsible for assassination.
She knew more than the outer members, but far less compared to someone like Gin. She knew a few training grounds of the organization and recent target individuals.
Ren believed that unless the other side was ready, they wouldn't act on these locations. Exposing a trump card ahead of time was pointless.
