Chapter 784 Organization, an injustice
“A special consultant responsible for solving serial murder cases...”
Hearing Mao Lilan mention this word, Mao Li Kogoro closed the phone in his hand newspaper, stroking his chin with a thoughtful expression.
Mao Lilan, who had just casually chatted with her father about her travel experiences, opened her eyes wide and exchanged a look with Conan.
Toru Adachi, a former policeman with an ambiguous stance and a rather uncomfortable behavior, can solve many problems if he can figure out his identity or the purpose of coming to Tokyo.
"What's wrong, Dad, do you have any ideas?"
"Well, did the person you mentioned serve as a policeman in the past?" Mouri Kogoro put the newspaper aside and asked casually .
"Ah, yes, he seems to have been a policeman before, but left his job for some reasons..."
"Then it makes sense if you met that guy in Izu." Mr. Mori Goro nodded and relaxed quickly, "Don't be too nervous. I wonder if he has some conflict with Tangze or something. I guess he should be a rescuer captured by the special task force of the Metropolitan Police Department."< br>
"Reinforcements?" Conan frowned, thinking of the things he experienced in Izu, and quickly thought of something, "Did some serial murders happen in Tokyo, so experts in this field were summoned to help? ?”
"Absolutely, and it's a large-scale case that involves a very wide range of things, with long intervals and many crime locations." Mouri Kogoro shrugged, "He will appear in Izu, probably to investigate one of the crime scenes. "
"Hey, Dad, you know so clearly because..."
"Because I was also invited." Mouri Kogoro straightened his tie, feeling proud. He puffed up his chest and said, "My detective skills are quite recognized by the Metropolitan Police."
Conan's eyes twitched and he did not answer Mouri Kogoro's narcissistic words.
No wonder Kogoro Mori would assert that Toru Adachi must have been a policeman.
If the same series of cases occurs in multiple locations, there will be many administrative units involved.
Criminal cases in Japan follow similar principles to those in many places. The place where the crime occurred or the place of residence of the victim or the murderer can be regarded as the place of residence for those who are responsible for the case.
So in theory, if a murderer’s purpose of committing a crime is to provoke the police, kill a person, dismember the body, and throw a piece of the body across the country, then in order to solve the case, it will completely develop into a necessary Police departments from all over the country sent people over to sit down and have meetings to work out the level of detail.
In this case, even if we seek help from forces other than the police to solve the case, since there are too many police departments involved, it is not appropriate to involve unofficial people with no police background.
Mouri Kogoro and Adachi Toru are both widely recognized for their personal abilities and have long-term police work experience, so they are relatively easy to accept helpers.
"So, he went to Izu not only to solve some serial murder case, but also to check the scene of the murder case and obtain the files?"
"That's pretty much what it means. Okay, don't Please ask more, I can’t disclose too many details of this kind of case that is still under investigation..."
After taking the opportunity to show off his new job, Mouri Kogoro adjusted his tie again and picked up the newspaper again. .
Just by looking at his proud expression, Mao Lilan could guess his purpose. She rolled her eyes and walked to the room to give Feiying a haircut.
Really, if he is like this, his mother may have given him some praise for this job.
I have to explain to my mother that my father may not be so complacent...
Conan's expression was more solemn than Maori Ran, who focused his attention on Moori Kogoro.
If this case is really Toru Adachi’s purpose in being in Tokyo, what does it mean for the organization?

“To put it simply, your preliminary investigation conclusion is...this is a coincidence.”
"Yes, almost. If I have to explain it, it's probably bad luck."
Gin pressed his eyebrows and took a deep breath before speaking again.
Hearing Ireland's desperate tone, he now felt more sincerely speechless than pursuing the authenticity of this investigation conclusion.
It’s not that everything in Wuyu is just a coincidence, but when Wuyu said this, the images of many people actually appeared in his mind.
For example, if you are unlucky and bump into the person you are trading with being murdered, and you are blown up into a ball of tequila, for example, if you are unlucky and shoot a gun and bump into a paparazzi taking candid photos, the moment of the murder is directly logged on Pisco reported...
Although he knew that the possibility of a small probability occurrence was not zero, but it would be too...
"In short, although Rum had given many directions for investigation before, But the current conclusion is that there is no conspiracy element about the loss of the flash card. The murderer probably took a smaller item from his bag and picked the card. "Sitting in front of the computer. Ireland's expression was numb as he spoke.
The small friction he had with Kumail previously had chain reactions including but not limited to being accused of a lawsuit and had to undergo organizational review again; he was considered to be targeting colleagues and not doing his job properly, and he lost a lot of money. Trivial hard work; I owe Belmode a favor and have to help her with some investigations related to personal grudges...
In fact, the content of the work is not much different from the organization's tasks in essence, but it brings The feeling of fatigue is very deep.
So much so that when he faced the task of being called back to Tokyo in the first place, his expression was abnormally numb.
After investigating Bourbon for a long time, the harvest was completely painless. Not only did it not shake Bourbon's status, it seemed to have made the other party appreciate it. Going one step further, Kumail was even more important. Provoking him once was like stabbing him. Like a hornet's nest.
It’s better not to come back. Whoever wants to do this shit can do it.
"In other words, the flash card is still in the hands of the murderer. If we want to get it back or destroy it, we must wait until the police solve the case or find the murderer first." Gin concluded.
“I’m afraid there is no other way.” Ireland, who had never had a good attitude toward gin, now looked even colder, “Otherwise, you can call Bourbon and Kumel over. Aren't they detectives? It's okay to find this person and deal with it before the police find the murderer."
Gin sneered at his broken opinion.
Do you think Rum didn't try? The problem was that Bourbon, who was fighting against him, didn't listen at all.
When asked, he just spread his hands to show that he also has tasks and is very busy. This is not his job, and that is another price.
After several haggling, Bourbon finally just threw Kumail out miserably, and had no intention of letting him directly participate in the mission. He just used Kumail's disguised identity to reasonably and reasonably A former policeman with ties to the organization was brought to Tokyo.
When thinking about this problem, Gin felt irritated.
What is stored on this flash card is none other than the manpower that the organization has deployed in the police from the top to the bottom.
The person Kumail brought back to Tokyo was originally one of the chess pieces mobilized to deal with Akira Karasawa. In other words, his name was also on the card, and retrieving the card was completely related to his personal interests. thing.
This means that he negotiated with Bourbon for a long time, and finally Bourbon picked and chose a pawn who should have been used, arranged his identity a little, and kicked the ball back.
These two spendthrift and sneaky worms...!
Gin, who could not tell Ireland these thoughts, pinched his brows, and without any intention of commenting on Ireland's investigation situation, he coldly threw out the final notice.
"The police are preparing to launch a joint task force, and Bellmode will contact you right away. Use this identity well and don't waste it." This young policeman who changed his name to Toru Adachi participated in the arrest. The guy who caught Tang Zezhao's plan was not a disposable consumable.
“Got it.” Ireland, who was also in no mood to talk nonsense with him, responded coldly and hung up the phone.
Had it not been for the imminent infiltration and the need for some operational support from Gin, it would have been impossible for him to say another word to Gin.
Revenge against Gin is still his main thought and wish at the moment.
There is also Kumel, the hawk who killed Pisco's family, and he will never let him go.
Thinking of this, Ireland moved the mouse in front of him, and he minimized the data windows related to the serial murders one by one, revealing the files he was reviewing below.
Files about Edogawa Conan.
He looked at the photos he took while following Kumail in the document and showed a sinister expression.
He had a hunch that the opportunity to deal with both enemies in one go was close at hand.

Suddenly awakened, Conan suddenly turned over from the sofa, covering his violently beating heart and gasping.
The surrounding environment was dark. All the lights in the Maori family's living room were turned off. The silence of the night still enveloped the surroundings, and everything was quiet and peaceful.
Conan wiped the sweat from his face, gasped for air, and sat up from the sofa with weak hands and feet.
The dream just now was too vivid, even if I already knew it was all a dream, Gin's cold and dangerous gaze, his malicious whispers, and even a hand grabbing his neck, leading him The palms that smelled of gunpowder smoke were still so clear, and they kept replaying in his mind.
That dream seemed to remind him clearly that once he was exposed to the attention of the organization, danger and death would follow him...
"Damn it, it's all Adachi Toru's fault..." Conan cursed secretly, pushed away the quilt and got up.
It must be because of Mouri Kogoro's words that he spent the whole night thinking about the relationship between Adachi Toru and the organization, the purpose of Adachi Toru's appearance, and the connection between Karasawa and him. His mind was filled with all the chaos. Reasons for thoughts.
Otherwise, for no reason, how could he suddenly dream about his identity being discovered by Gin and then being killed by him?
He scratched his sweaty hair in distress and walked towards the kitchen, preparing to find himself some water to drink and calm down his shock.
As he walked past the window, he noticed something glowing under the window not far away from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but glance at the clock hanging on the side.
01:30 am.
At this point, it should be dark downstairs. Where is the light coming from...
I just recovered from a nightmare where I was trapped in the Mori Detective Agency with gin. Conan woke up with a start, his consciousness instinctively became alert, he quietly approached the window, held the window and looked down.
What is flashing is not a sign or a light.
On the outdoor seat at the entrance of the cafe, a bright floor lamp was turned on, clearly illuminating Karasawa's fluffy brown head.
It's time, why is this guy Karasawa not sleeping, why is he sitting outside with the headlights on...
Treading quietly, Conan opened the door and went downstairs. When he walked out of the stairs, he saw a man curled up with his knees in his arms. Tangze, who was sitting on the chair, stared at the empty table in front of him without focus.
His blue eyes were completely blank, seemingly unaware of Conan's appearance.
Conan frowned and slowly approached. As he walked, he couldn't help but raise his hand to try to block the overly bright light.
It was so bright that it almost blinded people.
"What's wrong? Why are you still squatting outside at this hour? Don't you have to go to school tomorrow?"
Tangze, who was staring blankly, blinked his eyelids twice and turned his head towards Conan who was walking over. , said nothing.
Yes, it’s because I have to go to school tomorrow that I’m going crazy here.
Tangze, the drama queen of the complete experience group, replied in his heart.
After going out and picking up an ultimate buff for himself, Tang Zeke had not forgotten that there was still a big thunder squatting in the school, waiting for him to step on it.
After sitting down with Toru Amuro to talk about Adachi Toru's situation, the organization of the mission, and the investigation of Kiharagawa, Karasawa felt that he had to find a way to mess up his mental state now.
For example, try not sleeping at night and find yourself a light source that is as bright as daylight all night long or something.
It’s not that Karasawa doesn’t trust his acting ability and feels that he can’t play a mentally disturbed person, but after discussing with Toru Amuro “theoretically what kind of mental problems Karasawa should have”, Karasawa The quickest way to complete the experiential performance.
"Based on the current investigation, do you think Kiharakawa has anything to do with the organization?" Karasawa asked a key question that went straight to the core, "Or if I change the question, do you think he treated me What is the expected goal of the so-called 'treatment'? "
"There is definitely a relationship. But judging from his performance, there is a problem that cannot be ignored." The photos of Kiharagawa collected by Amuro Toru. Slowly lining up on the table, he said with finality, "He doesn't know you are Kumail, this is not pretending. In his eyes, you are just Karasawa."
This information is very telling.
Understanding Karasawa Ichikawa's condition and understanding Karasawa's illness can only mean that he may be related to the organization's cognitive histology research, but if you don't know that he is Kumel, it means that he is not interested in Organizational understanding is very limited.
Maybe the organization knows him well too.
Karasawa looked distressedly at the person in the photo whose behavior was gradually converging to that of Karasawa Ikawa, and he was a little undecided.
It is easy to deal with someone who does not know him at all, and it is easy to deal with someone who knows him very well.
The problem now is that he is not sure what kind of state he should show to Kiharagawa.
"I'm going to attend his so-called treatment tomorrow. Do you think, in his eyes..." Tang Ze considered his words for a while and finally chose an appropriate description, "I have it after all. What disease is it?"
Thinking of this conversation, Tang Ze blinked his dry eyes, met Conan's confused and worried gaze, and answered softly.
"I can't sleep. I dare not stay in the room, Kudo, I seem to have remembered something."
