People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 480 New code name

Chapter 480 New code name
“…Why do you want to investigate this matter? As for the reason, I can’t tell you yet. I will explain it further when I have time later.”

In response to Toru Amuro’s inquiry, Genmitsu Xiang simply evaded the question and did not intend to directly bring up matters related to Miyano Shiho. After all, it was too difficult to make others believe in something like rejuvenation.

Moreover, there are countless people trying to regain their youth. Even if this fantasy drug has only a very small chance of reversing aging, people will flock to pursue it.

Toru Amuro himself would certainly not have any bad thoughts about the effects of ATPX4869, but he is a public security officer after all, and he has to write a report to report his actions to his superiors afterwards, and he can’t tell what his superiors think.

The Black Organization is able to move freely throughout this country, and their leader, Karasuma Renya, was once the richest man in the country and has close ties with various powerful families and celebrities. Who knows what will happen if the higher-ups find out about this?
“I’ll ask you to follow up on the matter regarding Miyano Akemi. By the way, Mr. Amuro, do you know where Dante and Char are right now? I tried to call back but no one answered.”

“Dante and Char… Mr. Dante has left Tokyo now. He has started further investigations according to the original sequence of the Silver Star Railway and is preparing the contents of the next investigation report. He will not return to Tokyo for at least a week.”

Toru Amuro answered the question first, and then focused his attention on the name Char. He immediately raised his eyebrows, feeling that something was wrong. To be honest, his real name was not Toru Amuro, and he had never used this name.

But Xiang Yuanguang kept calling him that, which led to other people in the public security department calling him that, and even the inner investigators began to use this title, and the name Amuro Toru always felt like there was some other hidden meaning…

When the other party mentioned Char, he was clearly referring to Shuichi Akai, who had fought with him in the abandoned factory. Immediately, Toru Amuro knew why the other party called him by this title.

Isn’t the surname [Amuro] pronounced the same as the white devil [Amuro] in Gundam? Did the other party simply apply the anime character from Gundam to the real him and Akai Shuichi?
Immediately, Toru Amuro’s face darkened a little. Since it sounded like Genmitsu Xiang didn’t intend to continue asking about Miyano Akemi or the 10 billion yen, he simply brought up the name.

“Hey, Mr. Xiangyuan, you keep calling me Amuro Toru. Is it because you think that guy is Char from the Gundam series, so you used me as Amuro’s character and gave me a pseudonym?”

“…Who? Aren’t you Amuro Toru?”

Xiang Yuanguang blinked his eyes. In his impression, the name of this public security officer was Toru Amuro. When he searched for this name on the web before, an encyclopedia would pop up. Isn’t that right?

He suddenly remembered that when he was given the command of the public security operation by the inner investigator, the inner investigator mentioned “Zero”. At that time, he thought that this should be the code name of Toru Amuro, so he also used Zero as a nickname.

It turns out that Toru Amuro is actually a pseudonym that has not appeared yet, and Zero is the other party’s real name?

“Ahem, this is a long story. Just think of it as a name I saw in a comic. Sorry, I’m going to hang up now.”

Without waiting for Toru Amuro on the other end of the phone to express his opinion, Xiang Yuanguang hung up the phone in a hurry.

In this regard, the public security officer, whose real name is Rei Furuya, frowned. How could anyone still read such an old version of Gundam comics these days? I thought that nostalgic people would go directly to watch the Gundam anime…

Or does the origin of the name of the comic have some special meaning, and is it just a reference to the other party’s intelligence source? He might as well find some time to flip through the old comics to see if there is anything special he can gain.

At this time, Miyano Shiho noticed that Yuan Guang hung up the phone, and she immediately came to her senses. She looked at the blue hedgehog nervously, and then asked.

“May I ask if the public security department has found out anything about my sister? I remember that when she contacted me last time, she said that the organization had given her a big task to do. The time for me to contact her again was almost up…”

“But because of this special incident, the organization has stopped my contact with my sister. Is she still carrying out her previous mission? Or has she completely hidden herself?”

…There is a little difference. For example, it may not be completely hidden, but it was completely sunk in Tokyo Bay. No matter how you think about it, the members of the organization will not save a worthless person.

Xiang Yuanguang hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth. “It seems that your sister was still carrying out a 10 billion yen mission, and then she was chased by the public security, and then she was kidnapped by an unidentified member of the black organization, and her whereabouts are unknown now.”

“…kidnapped? But why…?”

Not only Xiang Yuanguang couldn’t understand why the Black Organization would do such a inexplicable thing, but Miyano Shiho also couldn’t understand it, because the organization was already planning to kill her, so why did they kidnap Miyano Akemi?
Isn’t it the style of the organization to send someone to meet them, shoot them in the head, and then walk away? Generally, this method is only used when encountering codename members who may be undercover but are unsure…

However, Miyano Akemi has no code name at all. In the eyes of the organization, she is just a worthless grassroots member, or a peripheral member. If she is suspected of treason or undercover, she will probably be shot on the spot.

This means that the organization member who kidnapped Miyano Akemi must have other plans… The organization never does anything that has no benefit to itself, let alone such a big risk.

(But what can the organization get from my sister?)
Miyano Shiho’s thoughts began to turn. Although the current situation was probably heading in a pessimistic direction, she would rather believe that her sister was not dead, but was kidnapped by a member of an organization for something.

“If it’s a member of the Tokyo-based organization, then could it be Pisk…?”

“Pisk was beaten to death by the member of the organization that kidnapped Miyano Akemi.”

“…Tequila?”

“Tequila was shot dead by someone when the police arrested Curacao.”

“…”

Looking at Miyano Shiho who suddenly fell silent in front of him, Conan shook his head. Although she was indeed a member of the organization with a code name, she had been sitting in the laboratory and did not have a comprehensive understanding of the organization’s layout in Tokyo.

It seems that it is unlikely to get any new information from Shiho Miyano, so let’s talk about the production of the antidote for APTX4869. Don’t expect any new information.

“… peated whisky?”

The other party suddenly said a code name that no one had heard of before.

Xiang Yuanguang’s eyes suddenly fell on Miyano Shiho’s little face. He had never heard of this code name, at least it didn’t appear in the comics. If he believed that most of the plots about the Black Organization in the comics were true…

Beika-cho, where Rum, Gin, Vermouth and other members of the organization took turns to fight, could not possibly not involve this member of the organization who was also in Tokyo. Either he had already left Beika-cho, or he was waiting for the opportunity to act————————

Now this person jumped out inexplicably. There must be some factors that changed his behavioral logic, causing this person to do something different from the normal plot.

Well, if we connect all the things in Tokyo, this is the factor that will have an impact, if it’s not unexpected…

…is it me?

Conan’s eyes fell on Xiang Yuanguang, as if he had seen through Xiang Yuanguang’s thoughts. He just put his hands in his trouser pockets and said nothing.
