The Working Emperor starts with Conan

Chapter 432 Kudo Yusaku’s choice
No matter how extravagant Conan is in his daily life, his parents still have the final say at the critical moment.

No matter how reluctant Conan was, he had no choice but to follow Kudo Yukiko on the flight to the United States.

There was nothing he could do. Conan had caused this incident himself. The person who caused the trouble had no human rights, so he could only obey his family's orders.

After his wife and only son left, Kudo Yusaku finally had the mood to meet with the senior officials of the organization.

At the same time, Ireland was also troubled by the Metropolitan Police Department's failure to complete its tasks.

"What's going on in Belmod? The murderer has been identified, but where are the others?!"

In the apartment, Ireland, who looked like Matsumoto Kiyonaga, complained dissatisfiedly to Belmode.

He felt that Vermouth didn't seem to take this mission seriously.

He's just an ordinary serial murderer, and that's all he is to the organization.

How could Vermouth not find anyone when the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark?

Now, let alone Vermouth, even the joint investigation team led by the Metropolitan Police Department can’t find anyone.

"Oh, are you impatient now? Ireland? This is not like you." Bellmode talked about him as usual, and this kind of behavior was just right for a mystic like her.

As a professional killer, Ireland is naturally not short of patience. In the killer business, those who lack patience will either be caught or killed.

Those who can survive at least are not the impatient type who explode at the slightest provocation.

But Ireland is indeed in a hurry. The task of the Metropolitan Police Department does not matter, and whether the SD card can be recovered has little to do with him.

He was now restless because Kudo Shinichi suddenly appeared in his field of vision - this was one of the rare times when he could catch Gin's mistakes. If he missed it, he wouldn't know when the next opportunity would come.

But Vermouth was unable to complete the Metropolitan Police Department's mission.

Most importantly, Ireland discovered that Conan the brat had not appeared in the Metropolitan Police Department's investigation team for two days.

The kid's unusual behavior made Ireland wonder if he was feeling something.

Ireland is usually at the Metropolitan Police Department. Due to Matsumoto Kiyonaga's identity, it is difficult to directly ask Mouri Kogoro about Conan's whereabouts.

He couldn't just run up to Kogoro Mouri and ask him why his child didn't come with them when everyone was racking their brains to guess where the murderer would be hiding, right?
How big a flaw would that be?
Ireland could only express his dissatisfaction to Belmod in secret and overtly, urging Belmod to quickly find the murderer and get the SD card back so that he could end this annoying job as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, Ireland. This mission will be over soon." Belmode looked at the serial murderer who was tied up and unconscious on the ground next to him and showed a charming smile.

After ending the call with Ireland, Vermouth took out an SD card from somewhere.

After playing with the SD card in her hand for a while, she finally made up her mind.

"Spiatus, you are indeed a man who makes people confused." As the saying goes, Belmode originally wanted to say that Yuan Shanfei was a lunatic.

But who made Conan, thanks to Tobi Toyama, now far away from the center of the whirlpool in Tokyo?

Belmod came to the dressing mirror and tinkered with the bottles and cans on the dressing table for a while, before a brand new human skin mask was put on his head.

Vermouth performed a terrifying trick in the room. Then, Vermouth in disguise came to the courier station, sent an expedited errand in the city, and left.

On the express delivery slip, the recipient's address was 2-21, Beika-cho, Toyama House!
.
Two days, with almost nothing gained for Ireland, was a waste of time.

But for Yusaku Kudo, these two days were quite fulfilling.

After all, Kudo Yusaku is indeed the hidden boss of the red side. He can deduce a lot of useful things just by relying on Toyama Tobi's words and some clues in Conan's hands.

The senior officials mentioned by Toyama Tobi are probably lurking inside the Metropolitan Police Department and are part of this investigation team.

This person should have a high position in the investigation team, otherwise he would not have learned about Kudo Shinichi from Inspector Megure and Inspector Takagi.

The person who could make a patrol chief and a police captain confess everything must obviously be higher in rank and status than these two.

Then, Matsumoto Kiyonaga, the management officer of the Investigation Section 1, came into Kudo Yusaku's sight.

Through his connections, Kudo Yusaku got a lot of useful information, such as the family backgrounds of several police officers in the investigation team who were higher in rank than Inspector Megure, and various situations in recent times.

Among them, there are very few family members and they seldom go home on weekdays. During this period, they basically do not go home and only stay in the dormitory, or they work overtime until late at night and are the last to leave. In the end, only Matsumoto Kiyonaga was found.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga did have a family in Tokyo, but he had only one daughter, who did not live with him.

So Matsumoto Kiyonaga was the only one living in his home.

Despite this, after the investigation team was established, Matsumoto Kiyonaga rarely returned home to live, and mostly lived in a single room in the dormitory arranged by the Metropolitan Police Department.

Occasionally I live outside, and when I do, I usually work overtime until late at night. This is not consistent with Matsumoto Kiyonaga's original work and rest habits.

Such an abnormal situation made Kudo Yusaku target him. Although the target was locked, Kudo Yusaku obviously did not make any announcement.

Unlike Conan, Kudo Yusaku is the kind of person who makes plans before acting. Just like when he writes novels, he basically designs the murderer and the method of committing the crime first, and then slowly fills in the rest.

Kudo Yusaku knew that facing such an opponent, facing such a behemoth as the organization, he would definitely not be able to deal with it alone.

It is obviously very unrealistic to involve Yuanshan Fei, and Yuanshan Fei clearly showed that he did not want to get involved in this matter.

Since Toyama Tobi's attitude is so firm, Kudo Yusaku doesn't want to have another enemy at this juncture.

Now the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. If Yuan Shanfei is forced into a corner, it is not impossible for him to be destroyed humanitarianally.

Yusaku Kudo is not Conan, whose worldview is only black and white. He even thinks it is always better to make friends with people than to make enemies with them.

Originally, Kudo Yusaku wanted to contact his friends in the FBI through his own connections, but when he heard that the FBI's forces in Tokyo had been wiped out, he immediately changed his choice of ally.

Since there is no FBI, it is not impossible for Japanese police to use it.

Yusaku Kudo immediately contacted his old connections in the National Police Agency, and said that there were members of a criminal group who had infiltrated the middle levels of the Metropolitan Police Department by disguising themselves.
