The Working Emperor starts with Conan

Chapter 416 Rum’s superior balance

Just when Rum was still congratulating that Toyama Fei had not succeeded in becoming the HR of the organization, Curaçao suddenly came to the door of the office in a hurry.

Bang bang.

"Come in."

"Rum, something happened! One of our official members was involved in a murder and died."

"who is it?"

"Masaki Okakura."

"Why is it him?" Rum suddenly frowned.

As the most powerful brain in the organization, Rum absolutely tops the organization in terms of memory. Toyama Tobi can now clearly recall most of the plots of "Detective Conan", thanks to the contribution of Rum's characteristics.

The information named Okakura Masaaki was immediately retrieved from Rum's brain.

Okakura Masaaki, male, 32 years old. Currently living in Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture, Japan, and working as a parliamentary secretary.

It is obvious that this secretary's occupation is Okakura Masaaki's superficial identity. In fact, he is one of Rum's many spies who have broken into Japanese politics.

Just like major intelligence agencies can dispatch spies within the organization, Rum, who is deeply involved in Japan, will naturally insert his spies into Japanese politics.

The existence of an organization is not a year or two, but an organization's existence is measured in decades, which also means that Rum can have enough patience to wait for the spies who have penetrated the Japanese political arena to bear fruit.

Masaaki Okakura is one of them, and he also said that he is the better group among them.

Otherwise, Rum wouldn't know Curacao. As soon as Curacao mentioned its name, he remembered the corresponding information.

Okakura Masaaki has a pretty solid resume as a member of parliament’s secretary. Under normal circumstances, secretaries to members of parliament are not tenured for life.

After accumulating a certain amount of connections or serving in office for a certain period of time, these people will enter politics and begin their political career.

And because these people naturally carry the brand of faction, the leaders served by the secretaries are also willing to support these people.

After all, if one of your own people goes up, it means that the power of your own faction will increase. Besides, there is a natural unity between the secretary and the leader.

When such a person is involved in a murder case and becomes a victim, the first thing Rum has to consider is whether Okakura Masaaki's true identity has been exposed. Is this murder just a simple murder, or was it deliberately done by someone.

At this moment, Rum's brain was running at high speed, but Curacao's next words directly caused Rum's thinking to deviate from its original track.

“After investigation, I found that Okakura Masaki had copied a list of all NOC members in the organization’s intelligence team from the organization to the SD card not long ago.

But when our people arrived at the scene, they did not find the SD card on the body.

I guess this SD card was taken away by the murderer. "

NOC is also the name for spies. Unsurprisingly, what Okakura Masaaki copied to the SD card was the list of spies dispatched by the organization's intelligence team.

Although Rum doesn't know how Okakura Masaaki obtained the authority, but since Curacao said so, it is obviously not wrong.

In other words, most or even all of the intelligence team's current spy lists are in the hands of an unsuspecting murderer? !
Okakura Masaaki has already figured it out, and it is no longer useful to worry about how he obtained the authority. The investigation of responsibility must at least wait until the organization recovers or destroys the SD card taken by the murderer.

The most important thing now is to clarify who the murderer of this incident is.

"Where is the murderer? Do the Metropolitan Police Department have any clues?" Rum knew very well that since Curacao didn't say anything, the Metropolitan Police Department must not have arrested the person.

Even the clues to the murderer may not be clear. "The police currently do not have any very indicative clues, so the investigation is at a standstill."

There is no way, the Metropolitan Police Department is also in a mess right now. The bombing of Tokyo Tower caused too many chain reactions.

The crime rate in Mika Town has also skyrocketed recently, and everyone's desire to buy firearms for self-defense has greatly increased.

"These damn bastards are just a waste of our taxpayers' money!"

There is one thing to say, Rum really has the position to say this. After all, many of Rum's intelligence teams are regular assets that were stolen through robbery.

These companies, trading companies, and groups all pay taxes honestly according to rules and regulations.

Although Rum doesn't show it on the surface, secretly he is a major taxpayer underground in Tokyo.

It's a pity that the tax department in Tokyo couldn't find out about this matter. The tax department also seriously owes Rum a plaque as a tax pioneer~

The bad news from Curacao was indeed very bad, and it was almost ruined by Rum.

But there will naturally be good news when there is bad news. Curacao once again saved Rum’s precarious blood pressure:
“The good news is that the murderer of Masaaki Okakura is still committing crimes, and he is committing crimes in multiple places.

The police are expected to set up a joint investigation team soon. When the criminal police from all over the country gather together, I believe they will be able to find out the identity of the real murderer soon. "

This news was truly rare good news for Rum, and he quickly came up with an emergency plan.

"Curaçao, what has Belmode been doing recently?"

Curaçao accidentally heard Belmode's code name from Rum, but she immediately shook her head: "I'm not sure. Do you need me to check?"

"Forget it, I'll contact her myself." Rum's eyes flashed, and now he finally realized one thing.

Because Toyama Fei has only been a cadre of the organization for a short period of time, some information about Toyama Fei within the intelligence team has not yet had time to be transferred.

This means that there is a high chance that there will be Yuan Shanfei's name and information on that SD card.

After reacting, Rum immediately ordered Curacao: "Curaçao, you should go to the intelligence library immediately to confirm whether there is any information about Spiatus in the list copied by Okakura Masaaki."

"The operation must be kept confidential, and there is no need to inform other members of the intelligence team."

"Okay, I'll check it out right away." Curacao nodded and left the office without any delay.

When Rum said that the operation was confidential and that there was no need to notify other members of the intelligence team, he meant that Curacao could do it alone.

Usually, if you want to check something in Curacao, you only need a phone call or an email. Now she needs to make a trip in person because of Rum's instructions.

Curacao also knew very well that it was not her whom Rum was trying to defend against, but Toyama Fei, who had no idea so far.

In the office, Rum looked uncertain. He should have confirmed it as soon as possible when there was such a major mistake and warned Yuan Shanfei.

But internal fighting is a traditional art of the organization after all, and now Toyama Tobi's power in the organization has made Rum feel a little bit weak.

Rum hesitated for a moment, and then asked Curacao to proceed with caution. Of course, Yuanshan Fei is relatively controllable in comparison.

Gin, which impressed Karasuma Renye with the gold in the Dusk Annex, is really Rum's current serious concern.

Rum gently knocked on the table. It was time to find some trouble for Gin.
