Conan switched his voice back to his original one using the voice changer and called Inspector Megure.
After getting Hirota Masami's address from him, he rushed to Hirota Masami's rented apartment without delay.
Using the lock-picking skills he'd learned in Hawaii, Conan slipped into the apartment.It didn't take long for him to find the spare key—hidden behind the power outlet, just as he suspected.
Unfortunately, he didn't expect Hirota Masami to be hidden inside the house and was knocked unconscious by her elbow strike.
But luckily, before he passed out, Conan, quick-witted, slipped a bug with a tracking function into Hirota Masami's pocket... At the abandoned warehouse on the pier, where he had arranged to meet Gin.
Hirota Masami removed her disguise, tossing aside her bucket hat and glasses, and cautiously walked into the warehouse as Miyano Akemi.
In the center of the warehouse, Gin and Vodka had been waiting for a long time, smoking cigarettes.
Miyano Akemi was about to speak.
Suddenly, at the exit of the warehouse behind her,
four black cars converged horizontally, completely blocking the exit.
When Miyano Akemi saw this, even if she were foolish, she would know that the Black Organization had no intention of letting her go.
But still holding onto a sliver of hope, she spoke to Gin.
"Where is my sister? I've already got the 1 billion yen. You promised that as long as I could get 1 billion yen for the Organization, you would let us two sisters leave."
"Heh heh," Gin sneered, "Since when does the Organization let people leave alive? The only way to leave the Organization is to die!
From the day you brought that rat, Shuichi Akai, into the Organization, your fate today was sealed. Letting you steal 1 billion yen was just making use of a waste product."
He flicked the ash from his cigarette.
Vodka immediately understood and raised his pistol.
Miyano Akemi, believing she still had a final trump card, also pulled out a pistol and confronted Vodka.
"Wait! I didn't bring that 1 billion yen! I hid them in a very safe place. If you kill me, you'll never find that 1 billion yen!"
"What?" Vodka was startled, shaking his pistol, "You hateful woman! Tell me, where did you hide the money?"
"Hmph, if you want to know where the money is, bring my sister here. Once Shiho and I leave safely, I will naturally tell you where the money is," Miyano Akemi said, not showing any weakness.
But what she hadn't anticipated was...
Gin didn't care about that 1 billion yen as much as she thought.
Bang—
The muzzle of the Beretta flashed.
In the smoke ring Gin exhaled,
Miyano Akemi chest blossomed with blood, and her body fell backward.
Lying on the ground, Miyano Akemi consciousness gradually blurred.
Memories flooded her vision—her sister's smile from childhood, and Akai Shuichi's whispered promises during quieter nights.
"Shiho... Dai-kun..."
Tears streamed from Miyano Akemi eyes, and with her last bit of strength, she tremblingly gripped her pistol.
"Naive fool, do you think I wouldn't guess where you hid the money? Moreover, Sherry value is far more than 1 billion yen."
Gin looked at the dying Akemi trying to shoot back, a mocking smile on his face.
He prepared to finish her off to reduce her suffering.
At this critical moment,
a Bangboo resembling a magical girl warrior with a blue ribbon, Miss Esme, made a dazzling appearance.
She waved her magic wand, summoning a green illusion bubble that enveloped Miyano Akemi.
"A robot in this form? No! It's Cunning Hares!"
Gin's pupils contracted, and he looked around warily, his gun rapidly turning to fire all his bullets at Miss Esme.
Miss Esme entered a transformation and costume change state, causing all bullets that hit the light curtain to disappear.
Vodka was astonished and reminded him: "Mahou Shoujo transformations have invincibility frames, Aniki!"
Gin didn't know what nonsense Vodka was talking about, his eyes turned cold, and he directly threw a grenade.
Bullets were useless, he didn't believe a grenade would also be useless.
As the grenade was about to land, Lycaon leaped from above, kicking the spinning grenade.
The grenade then arced, accurately landing among the Black Organization's peripheral members blocking the entrance.
Boom!
Flames erupted, and the several cars blocking the entrance instantly turned into scrap metal, with debris splattering everywhere.
Several peripheral members of the Black Organization, who were just bystanders, didn't even show their faces before they were eliminated.
The blast wave kicked up dust.
As the dust settled slightly, in Gin and Vodka's eyes, a white-haired man in a crisp black butler uniform with a tactical vest over it landed steadily.
He was tall, nearly two meters in height.
The impact of the explosion seemed to have no effect on him, not even a corner of his clothes was disheveled.
Gin felt a dangerous aura from him, raised the Beretta in his hand, and locked the dark muzzle onto him.
"Who are you? How dare you meddle in our affairs."
He sensed a completely different demeanor from Lycaon compared to the Cunning Hares group. He intended to get a clear answer.
Lycaon showed no change in expression as the gun was pointed at him.
He didn't immediately answer Gin's question but first slightly turned sideways, confirming Akemi Miyano's condition within the illusion bubble with his gaze.
Seeing that Akemi Miyano's vital signs were being maintained and gradually improving, he then redirected his attention to Gin.
"ZZZ Organization subsidiary — Victoria Housekeeping," Lycaon clearly stated his name with elegant demeanor, "Specializing in providing the highest level of service for high-value clients."
He paused slightly, his gaze falling on Gin, and declared the purpose of his visit.
"Miyano Akemi-san has been included in our protection list. I have no intention of being your enemy, if you leave now, I guarantee neither of you will be harmed."
