Chapter 92 The Black Organization, Destroyable with a Flick of a Finger
Secondly, Mamegaki Taeko had no intention of killing anyone. From beginning to end, her only goal was to stop Anzai Morio's extortion.
Then, it was Anzai Morio who made the first move. A big man lunged at a petite woman. No one knew what he wanted to do. Even while defending himself with his sword, he could not stop the other party's violence.
During the scuffle, the other party was accidentally killed.
In the end, she did not try to cover up her crime. Although she did not turn herself in, it can be explained that she was frightened by Anzai Morio's actions and felt guilty and uneasy because she had killed someone with her own hands, so she chose to face the situation passively.
In short, hiring a good lawyer will only make things worse than Akutagawa Hiko's. With a series of subtle and euphemistic arguments, you might not be able to get acquitted, but you can at least reduce your sentence to an acceptable level.
The shrine priest, having received the advice, suddenly understood and no longer looked ten years older than he had just moments before.
He's been in this line of work for so many years, and while he hasn't accumulated much wealth, he has certainly made a name for himself in terms of connections.
After all, the higher the position, the more likely one is to believe in superstitious things. Of course, he would personally receive distinguished guests who come to the shrine to pray for blessings and donate a lot of incense money, and it is perfectly normal for them to leave their contact information.
Upon waking up, Akutagawa Hiko habitually glanced at the calendar and was surprised to find that several days had passed normally, one after another.
After washing up and eating breakfast, I glanced out the window and saw Xiaolongbao sitting solemnly on Tangbing's head, directing Tangbing to water the potted plants and ground plants in the yard.
The cat grass and catnip plants were the highlight of the whole.
In just a few weeks, a husky grew to the size of an Alaskan Malamute, and an orange tabby cat grew to the size of a Maine Coon.
This was no problem for Akutagawa Hiko; once his strength increased, many of the issues he had previously hesitated to address were easily resolved.
A single illusion spell can solve the problem; there's no need to specifically study spells that alter their size.
Akutagawa Hiko took out the crystal ball, activated the telescope technique, and observed the situation around his house. Sure enough, he found a man in black in a hidden corner.
This man had been staking out near his home for several days, and judging from the wrinkles in his clothes when he moved, he was carrying a gun.
This is a different matter now. It's unclear whether this person is an individual investor or part of an organization, but in Akutagawa's view, it doesn't really matter, and neither poses a significant threat to him.
The reason we've kept this person around until now is mainly to see who's behind it all.
However, this person still hasn't been able to contact his superior. Akutagawa Hiko is getting a little impatient and, as usual, uses his ice clone to go out to the office to hang up, while Akutagawa Hiko's real body appears behind the ghost ticket's stalker.
The instant he instinctively turned around and drew his gun, he met a pair of scarlet eyes, and his gaze gradually became vacant.
Next, Akutagawa Hiko asked whatever question the man who was spying on him would answer.
This man is an outer member of the Black Organization, a brick that is moved wherever there is a gap. Not long ago, codenamed Executive Bourbon, he was asked to monitor Akutagawa Hiko, a newly emerging famous detective.
A flicker of interest crossed Akutagawa's eyes, though it was unclear whether the undercover agent had genuinely noticed something or was simply being paranoid.
So we sent an outside member to probe the situation.
Akutagawa Hiko had no intention of showing mercy to members of the organization who had committed numerous evils, even those on the periphery, especially since this person had been monitoring him for so many days.
The peripheral member, with a blank stare, clutched his head with both hands, twisted it hard, and instantly stopped breathing, dying without even knowing how he died.
Akutagawa Hiko casually took a handgun hidden in the outer member's clothes and left without looking back.
Bourbon's expression turned serious upon receiving the intelligence from his subordinates.
Because the man he sent to monitor the detective died in an alley, his neck snapped, beyond any hope of survival.
Moreover, his gun was stolen, which makes this a clear case of murder.
The problem is that, according to the autopsy team, the peripheral member broke his own neck, and no skin flakes or other substances other than his own were collected from his body.
Therefore, the report speculates that the member of the organization committed suicide by twisting his neck due to psychological problems, and that his firearms were stolen by a passerby who was prepared to commit a crime.
Bourbon wanted to vehemently denounce the report as utter nonsense, but the problem was that given the crime rate and mental illness rate here, it wasn't entirely unbelievable.
But is it really such a coincidence?
However, according to the report received by Rei Furuya from his subordinates, Hiko Akutagawa went out with his cat and dog as usual today, came to the Akutagawa Detective Agency as usual, chatted with the rich ladies who always lost their cats and dogs as usual, and was completely normal—
It's so damn normal, so normal that Amuro Tooru finds it a bit abnormal.
Amuro Tooru's intuition was screaming warnings, but his reason couldn't find any flaws.
"Wait a minute, could a detective with such keen observation skills really not notice the surveillance he's been receiving from an outsider for days, or is he just too naive to even consider this possibility?"
Amuro Tooru fell into deep thought.
The investigation into Akutagawa Hiko was not without basis. He had obtained the name "Edogawa Fumiyo" from the car rental company regarding the "gas explosion" incident that day, but his accomplices in the Public Security Bureau had been searching for a long time without finding it.
Either this woman is an unregistered resident, or this is just a pseudonym.
Following the clues, Furuya Rei discovered another unregistered person, a child named Edogawa Conan. He originally wanted to investigate the family he was fostered in, the former police legend, Mouri Kogoro.
His subordinates reported that Conan Edogawa was visiting the Akutagawa Detective Agency and the Akutagawa residence at an abnormally high frequency.
So they adopted a two-pronged approach, monitoring both sides simultaneously. This involved mobilizing many peripheral members, which displeased Gin, because when he was collecting supplies for a mission, he found nothing.
However, while Gin was unhappy, Bourbon was delighted. They weren't even in the same faction within the organization, and beneath their disguises lay a deep-seated hatred, even more so than that between Akai Shuichi and Bourbon.
So Bourbon used the mission as an excuse to return the favor to Gin.
Gin's rare treat generated considerable discussion within the organization, subtly elevating Bourbon's status.
Just as Amuro Tooru was preparing to send some more people to test the waters, a message that was to be destroyed after being read was sent to his organization's dedicated machine.
After reading the email, Amuro Tooru almost burst out laughing; this was rare good news lately.
