"No!" Mr. Taname was scared, but he was still stubborn.
"Too bad."
"If you dare to…"
Bang!
Before he could finish giving his threat, a bullet had come from outside and the man fell down. Ichiro looked at the man with some pity and then screamed, acting as if he was scared by the scene in front of him.
On the other hand, Scotch had already knocked the man out the moment he turned into a ghost before he could realize what happened.
This was something that Kurokawa Saki asked Scotch to do.
Don't let anyone find out about the ghost's features, so these people had to be knocked off before they realised what had happened. For this reason, Kurokawa Saki had to wait for Scotch to be in place before taking any moves.
This might affect her mission, but so far, it seemed to be pretty good.
"Retreat." Kurokawa Saki said and cleaned up the sniper rifle quickly before leaving without hesitation. She glanced at the skill points that she received and her eyebrows arched when she saw that it had increased by 40 points.
This politician is quite valuable.
…
Ichiro, No. 2, looked at Mr. Taname with a frown.
Something's wrong.
This is his intuition.
Before coming to this world, Ichiro had already worked in the underworld… at least, to a certain degree. He was working as an intelligence dealer at night and an ordinary store owner during the day, which was quite fulfilling.
It was also because of this that his skills are already quite sufficient even before adding skill points, so he could put those skill points to other things to complement his ability. After all, the death rate of people in the Conan's world was quite outrageous.
Outrageous as in there would be death in various places.
When he obtained the ID of a member of the organization, Ichiro was determined to follow his previous life's path and become an intelligence officer.
Anyway, he didn't have to act and just had to be himself.
There was already an intelligence officer like Bourbon, so there wouldn't be any problem adding another one, right?
Ichiro was satisfied.
Today's mission was with other lower ranked members, so Ichiro didn't pay much attention to his two team members. Anyway, they were only stepping stones for him.
But that decisive sniper shot… they were still a distance away from the window and he was thinking of cornering the target to get closer.
It seemed unnecessary now.
'Is this sniper a bit too capable?'
Ichiro frowned.
He should try to investigate.
…
Kurokawa Saki didn't know that she had aroused Ichiro's suspicion, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care.
Instead, she was busy taking the surveillance cameras around the bar before she got home and tried to take a look whether Ichiro or Maki were inside.
Why?
Because No. 2 clearly said that he had a mission tonight.
There were a lot of people who had a mission tonight and if it was such a coincidence… she might be able to eliminate another real member of the organization.
"Found you."
…
While Kurokawa Saki was busy, Karin was both joyful and fearful when she picked up Mr. Taname to the public security. They carefully disguised the man and then she met with Kuroda Hyoue, where they discussed cooperation.
Of course, they both tacitly choose not to reveal their undercover in the organization.
"The matter of the Black Organization is of deep importance. Even though Mr. Taname might not be deeply involved, the information in his hand is enough to take some actions secretly," Kuroda Hyoue said with a sigh.
He didn't expect that the ICPO was able to fake this man's death without them knowing.
"I can share the information with you as agreed, but I would like permission to tell my undercover agent about the fact that the public security has an undercover agent who might be involved in this case," Karin said bluntly.
"Yes, but I can't tell you the person's identity." Kuroda Hyoue has to be careful with his agent's information.
"Likewise."
The two people felt that the cooperation was good and decided to strike more. At least, as long as the undercover agent from ICPO was still in Japan, the public security agreed that they will offer their utmost cooperation with the other party.
…
So when Amuro Toru rested after exchanging information with an informant, he was surprised that the ICPO was actually also involved and had reached a cooperation agreement. Moreover, if the case is too big, they were willing to let the public security be the main lead while they were the supporting role.
"Isn't this too good, Kazami?" Amuro Toru was suspicious.
"This is the director's order, Mr. Furuya." Kazami was the one who called Amuro Toru. "They have given a lot of sincerity and their requirement is that we share the information."
"I don't think that's all." Amuro Toru knew that these official agencies would not be willing to hand people over so easily.
"Well, the main reason is because this time the target is an official and the ICPO said that their agent is too capable. That agent had faked the death of several people and they're overwhelmed with the information that they had to sort out everything. Moreover, the target didn't seem to know that their death was faked, so they're basically coerced to cooperate," Kazami felt embarrassed when he thought of Karin when she said this.
Amuro Toru: "..."
Is it so easy to fake the target's death?
Normally, the answer would be no.
But when it came to Kurokawa Saki, she just needed to have Scotch ready beside the body and then shoot the other party.
"I got it. Tell me the information after you have finished questioning Mr. Taname," Amuro Toru instructed.
"Yes!"
Saving the person without letting them know that they have to fake their death… it was actually quite outrageous. He had to say that this undercover agent is really brave to do this.
If these people were not willing to cooperate, it would be troublesome if they passed the news back.
But several people… how many people would that be?
Amuro Toru thought for a moment and then made another call, "Do you know who are sent to deal with Mr. Taname last night?"
…
After that mission, Kurokawa Saki returned to her safe house and found Scotch was already back.
"You're back so early?" Kurokawa Saki was surprised to see Scotch there.
"Well, I figured you have something to do before coming back, so I went back and prepared dinner first." Scotch knew that Kurokawa Saki had to talk with her contact before coming back, so he chose to come back directly and prepare their dinner first.
"Hmm." Kurokawa Saki nodded and entered the house. "We have reached a cooperation agreement with the National Police Agency. At least, during my time in Japan, I'll have their support."
Scotch thought about Kurokawa Saki's performance and his lips twitched. "I thought that they'll be overwhelmed by the fact that these people never actually agree to fake their death."
"It doesn't matter. Those who know them will never be able to see them and if they try to approach them, they'll lose their consciousness directly," Kurokawa Saki replied.
Her skills had been adjusted and Kurokawa Saki saw that she could arrange for these people to not be seen by the people they knew. If they try to talk with them, they will fall unconscious and fail.
In this way, they would have no other choice but to accept the witness protection plan.
Well, a bit cruel to be honest.
But considering most of them were criminals, they'll probably just spend their time in detention or jail for years. By the time they had come out, the game should be over.
Kurokawa Saki's mind roamed for a moment and then she sighed.
She had no idea how long the main story would be later when Conan came. But she could guess that it would be quite long considering he did encounter a lot of cases everyday.
"Aside from that politician… The rest of the people are all gang members who will have to stay in prison for years. When they come out, I believe the winery would have been defeated." Kurokawa Saki shrugged.
Scotch chuckled. "You have great confidence."
Kurokawa Saki scrunched her face. "I don't want to be Hikari Yuki for the rest of my life… if possible, I really want to go back and return to my ordinary life."
Unfortunately, there were still at least 3 years before the main storyline started.
And then… Kurokawa Saki didn't know how long it would take for Conan to return to being Kudo Shinichi.
"Yes. I believe you can do it." Scotch smiled and put the plates of food on the table.
He knew the entrance of Kurokawa Saki to the Winery was a bit bizarre. If she hadn't been spotted by Gin, she would have been back to her work and didn't have to participate in this mess.
Well, it's all Gin's fault.
"Pasta!" Kurokawa Saki's eyes lit up and she happily ate the food.
Seeing the other party eating heartily, Scotch laughed lightly and sat in front of her. Even though his life and death is basically in Kurokawa Saki's hand, Scotch never felt overwhelmed or anything like that.
Instead, he felt comfortable when interacting with the other party.
Perhaps this was because Kurokawa Saki had never thought about forcing him to do anything and only asked for help in terms of gathering additional information or knocking people out from time to time.
For a moment, he felt as if he was simply back to his old profession.
It was just that his superior was temporarily changed to Kurokawa Saki.
Moreover, he was also teaching some basic stuffs to Kurokawa Saki in the beginning, helping her to integrate into the work as an undercover agent much faster.
"Delicious~."
Scotch: "..." seeing the way Kurokawa Saki ate, he had the feeling that he's raising a little daughter instead of facing a superior.
"Morofushi Hiromitsu," Scotch or Morofushi Hiromitsu suddenly spoke out.
Kurokawa Saki froze for a moment and she looked at Morofushi Hiromitsu in front of her in surprise.
"Scotch had died on that rooftop, so from now, you just have to call me by my own name," Morofushi Hiromitsu explained.
