"Judy, let's set a trap and lure Regal out."
"cheat?"
Judy didn't quite understand what Mamiya Kokoro said.
"Yes, have you ever thought carefully about why Regel suddenly came to Japan?"
With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Mamiya Shin slowly began his reasoning.
“Organization members like Regel and Rum are the highest-level cadres of the organization in a certain area.
Generally speaking, they need to stay in their respective areas for a long time and manage various affairs in their respective areas for the gentleman in the organization.
Theoretically speaking, unless there is a vacancy, it is unlikely that cadres of their level will be transferred to each other, except in special circumstances.
Just like what happened to Reger and Rum this time, I think this is definitely not a simple transfer of regional leaders.
Regel must have come to Japan with a special mission.
Inferring from this point, something extremely special must have happened to the organization in Japan before Reger was transferred to Japan.
It was even so special that the gentleman who organized it specially transferred the No. 2 who had been active in Europe and the United States for many years back to Japan.
And this extremely special incident may be the bait we use to lure Regal to show up again!"
"Mamiya, do you have any guesses?" Judy asked expectantly after listening to Mamiya Shin's analysis.
She could hear the confidence in Mamiya Shin's tone, and past experience told her that whenever Mamiya Shin used this tone, it meant he had the situation under control.
To put it simply - this is a sure thing.
"Shirley."
Mamiya Shin said a name.
"Shirley?"
Judy had not heard of this code name.
"That's right, Shirley. She used to be the leader of the organization's scientific research team. She is extremely mysterious. All I know is that she came to Japan from abroad two years ago and led the organization's scientific research team to carry out a special research.
This research is kept highly confidential within the organization. I have tried to get information about it before, but unfortunately found nothing.
Of course, this mysterious research is likely to have failed, because Shirley disappeared not long ago. "
"disappeared?"
"Well, I don't know the details. This matter may be related to Gin, but considering Gin's personality, it is impossible for me to get any useful information from him."
"Mamiya, you mean that Regal's transfer back to Japan is likely related to Shirley's disappearance?"
"Well, although there is no direct evidence to prove this, I think this should be the most likely scenario."
The mysterious research of the scientific research team, the sudden disappearance of the leader Shirley, and Reger's hasty transfer back to Japan...
A dark line hidden beneath the water gradually emerged in Mamiya Shin's mind.
He was very sure that the mysterious disappearance of Shirley was the direct reason why Reger was transferred back to Japan.
“So, we need to have a ‘Shirley’ in the right place, in the right place, in Regel’s sight.
As long as the mysteriously missing Shirley shows up again, I think Mr. Reger...will definitely be unable to hold back."
It's a new day again, at the Maori Detective Agency, the Maori family is having lunch.
"Sister Ying, did you encounter a murder case at the TV station yesterday?"
The TV was on. Ran Mao Li held chopsticks and looked curiously at Karasuma Ying beside her and asked.
"I heard that, too." Conan put down his bowl and chopsticks and said loudly:
"In this case, the murderer's lover tried to take the blame for his deceased lover for personal reasons and deliberately destroyed the crime scene in an attempt to mislead the police investigation."
"Oh, yes." Wu Wanying nodded with a smile.
"The real murderer committed suicide by jumping off a building after poisoning the victim, right? Hey, Sister Xiaoying, where did you find the murderer's body in the end?"
"In the trunk of the murderer's lover." Karasuma Ying's tone was a little gloomy.
Last night, she truthfully exposed all of Mr. Somei's disguises and completely reconstructed everything that happened at the crime scene.
Seeing Mr. Somei breaking down and crying the moment he was completely exposed, she felt as if her heart was being pulled apart.
But, the dead are gone, and Miss Maiko certainly doesn't want to see Mr. Somei do those things for her...
"Okay, Conan, eat quickly and don't ask too many questions."
Noticing the unusual look on Karasuma Ying's face, Mao Li Ran tapped Conan on the head.
"Oh……"
At this moment, Maori Kogoro suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks, looked at Karasuma Ying, and asked:
"Xiaoying, when are you planning to go back?"
"Huh?" Perhaps his question was too abrupt, both Mouri Ran and Conan were stunned at the same time.
Only Karasuma Ying looked calm and replied with a smile: "If possible, I would like to stay in Japan for a while longer, Mr. Maori."
"Really? I don't have any objection, but don't leave home for too long. Your family will always be worried."
"Yes, I know."
With her intuition as a daughter, Mao Lilan was keenly aware that there seemed to be something hidden in the conversation between her father and Sister Ying that she didn't know.
However, seeing that both of them had normal and calm expressions, she really didn't dare to ask.
"Um... Dad, can I give you another bowl of rice?"
"Oh, no, this bowl is enough. You can also eat less. I received an invitation to a party this morning. The time is tonight. You can also bring relatives and friends. Let's go together then."
A new volume has begun. From now on, I will change the chapter numbers to Arabic. They take up too much space.
Chapter 66 Chrissie Wynyard? !
Tonight, the famous Ed Company will hold a 20th anniversary party in its own twin towers.
Among them, the famous Maori detective was also invited to the party.
"Ed Company? Is it that famous luxury brand?" asked Mao Lilan.
"Well, it started out by designing luxury bags, and then gradually expanded into other luxury areas, becoming a global company focusing on high-end consumption," explained Karasuma Ying.
"That's amazing! But why would such a big brand company specially invite dad?"
"Wahaha! Of course, that's because I, Kogoro Mori, have already become famous..."
"I think it's because of Kaito Kidd?"
Conan ruthlessly interrupted Kogoro Mouri's narcissistic words and pointed at a news broadcast on TV.
At this moment, there was an interview program on TV with an old man in a kimono.
The old man looked to be in his sixties or seventies. He was wearing a colorful kimono, had a slicked-back hair and a mustache, and looked very imposing.
The subtitles at the bottom of the screen also indicated the identity of the old man: Ichiro Yamato, the founder and president of Aide Company.
"[I wish you a successful party. Please allow me to present you with a flower! I will accept the 'Tears of Cleopatra'... Kaito KID]
Mr. Yamato, what do you think of this notice from Kaito Kidd? "
"Humph! Stupid! Ridiculous!"
On TV, facing the reporter's questions, Ichiro Yamato showed extreme disdain.
"Kaito Kid? It's just a boring farce! I have contacted the police, and the famous detective Mr. Maori, known as the 'Sleeping Kogoro', has accepted my invitation and will attend the party tonight.
Hum... Kaito Kidd? If you're really capable, come on! Come and steal my Cleopatra's Tears! Hahahaha!"
On TV, Ichiro Yamato's laughter was still echoing, while outside the TV, Ran Mouri and others were already shocked.
"Did Kidd actually send out a notice for the party tonight..."
"Kid?" Karasuma Ying looked at Mao Li Ran curiously. She had never heard of this name.
"Ah, Sister Ying, you haven't been in Japan long, so you probably haven't heard of it yet, right?
Kidd is a thief who only steals gems. The reason for this is that he always returns the gems after stealing them.
Then, he is also good at disguise and magic, and often deceives the police who try to arrest him, but he never kills anyone. In short, he is a very special and strange person.
I really didn’t expect that he would actually send a warning letter to Aide Company this time…”
"No, this notice letter should not be sent by Kid." Conan looked at the notice letter of Kaito Kid on TV seriously and suddenly spoke.
"Kid's notice always clearly states when and where he will steal the gems, but this notice does not."
"Huh? It seems to be the same..."
"In other words, this notice letter was forged by someone else?" asked Karasuma Ying.
She didn't know much about Kaito Kid and could only make judgments based on the information provided by Conan.
"Well, I'm afraid that's the case." Conan nodded, his face serious.
There is one thing he didn't actually say. Given Kidd's weird and arrogant personality, even if this notice letter was really forged by someone else, I'm afraid he would definitely show up at that time, right?
Tonight's party may not be that simple...
The Ed Twin Towers are one of the iconic buildings in Taipei.
It is divided into the East Tower and the West Tower according to its geographical location, and there are interconnected floors on the lower floors between the two towers.
In order to limit the space where Kaito Kid can move around, tonight's party will only be held in the West Tower. The East Tower has been blocked by the police, and no one is allowed to enter except some detectives and the Yamatoda family.
And the famous Tears of Cleopatra will only be displayed in the West Tower.
At night, the entrance to the West Tower Banquet Hall was bustling with activity. Because of Kaito Kidd, many beautifully dressed people lined up at the door, waiting to be checked by the police.
"Wow, how long do we have to wait?" Conan couldn't help but complain when looking at the long line.
"Who knows? We can only kill time by reading this luxurious brochure they distributed." Huibara Ai, who was standing behind him, replied.
"Really... Eh?! Haibara?!"
As if he just realized something was wrong at this moment, Conan turned around suddenly and looked at Haibara Ai behind him in shock.
