Ming Ke Theater Chapter 109

Furuya Rei cursed the cunning FBI in his heart. No wonder Kudo Shinichi trusted him so much; so this was the reason.

Mouri Ran’s impression of the investigator improved a lot. Previously, she thought he was fierce and somewhat inexplicable, but now it seemed he was capable and responsible.

[…

Akai Shuichi left the room. Jodie looked at his back and said, “The Organization is coming soon, but he seems a little happy?”

James also noticed it. “It would be a lie to say he isn’t. Now he can directly confront the Organization, and he’ll have a chance to avenge his girlfriend.”

Conan asked, “Avenge his girlfriend?”

Jodie said, “Shuichi’s girlfriend was killed by those guys a few months ago.”

“Why?”

“His girlfriend was connected to the Organization. Shuichi said she planned to leave the Organization, so she was silenced.”

From Jodie and James, Conan learned some things about Akai Shuichi and his girlfriend.

She had a scientist sister who worked for the Organization, and she herself was an peripheral member. Akai Shuichi, under the alias Moroboshi Dai, met her, and through her, he met her sister. After establishing contact with her sister’s associates, he successfully infiltrated the Organization. Over a period of three years, from five years ago to two years ago, Akai Shuichi gradually made a name for himself within the Organization, earning the codename Rye. He finally got to go on missions with Gin, a high-ranking cadre of the Organization. The FBI unanimously believed that capturing this person would yield a lot of information, so they sent personnel to ambush the location where the two were going. However, due to a mistake by an investigator, they didn’t come, and Akai Shuichi was exposed.

However, Akai Shuichi’s girlfriend was not killed because of this. Her sister was a very important figure in the Organization, but the Organization had no intention of letting this woman go. She also couldn’t bear it anymore and planned to leave the Organization with her sister a few months ago.

The Organization told her that as long as she completed a certain mission, she could leave. Of course, the price of failure was death for both her and her sister. The Organization had intended to eliminate her from the start under the pretext of a failed mission, but she successfully stole a billion yen in a mission and was still silenced.

The characters and story here were so familiar that Conan couldn’t help but ask for Akai Shuichi’s girlfriend’s name.

James said, “Her real name is Miyano Akemi, and her alias is Hirota Masami…”

Vermouth said, “What a foolish woman. Men are poison; there will always be something in their hearts more important than you.”

Bourbon asked, “Don’t you dislike the Miyano family?”

Vermouth looked at him, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. He was also a man, a man who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

“I don’t like them, and that doesn’t stop me from disliking you men,” Vermouth said.

Vodka said, “Shouldn’t we be thinking about how to deal with the undercover agents after we get out?” Why were they saying such inexplicable things?

Vermouth said, “That’s not my job.”

Bourbon also gave up easily. “I’m from the intelligence team; dealing with undercover agents isn’t my job either.”

Vodka: “You two!” He suddenly thought of something. “Wait, Bourbon, if dealing with undercover agents isn’t your job, why have you been so fixated on Akai Shuichi?”

Bourbon’s heart skipped a beat. Why had Vodka become so sharp at this moment? He said, “We’ve worked together before. I know his capabilities. I don’t believe he died so easily, so I must find him.”

“No other reason?” Vodka said. “I remember the two people you worked with. Besides Akai Shuichi, there was another person, an undercover agent from the Japanese Public Security. Are you really not problematic?”

Bourbon gave Vodka a murderous smile. “You think I’m problematic? Then show me proof, otherwise I’ll suspect you’re problematic.”

“You!”

“Enough.” Gin motioned for Vodka to shut up. He was no match for this person. “Both of you, say less. As long as it’s a rat, I’ll deal with it myself. You don’t need to worry.”

Chianti was very familiar with this kind of work and had great confidence in Gin’s work ability. She stared at Kir and said, “We can go on a killing spree once we get out, Kir! Just wait until I blow your head off!”

[…

In the moonlight, Akai Shuichi stood on the balcony, leaning against the wall, and took out his phone. He opened that email, he didn’t know for the how many times.

“Dai-kun, if I can really leave the Organization this way, would you consider truly being my boyfriend this time? Akemi.”

Akemi…]

“Sister.” Haibara Ai hadn’t expected her sister to send such an email to that man. It seemed that even after all this time, her sister still couldn’t forget him.

Damn it, why didn’t her sister hate him? It made her own hatred seem to go against her sister’s feelings.

[…

“Hey…” A boy’s voice came from the stairwell. It was Conan coming up to find him. “Can I talk to you for a few minutes?”

Akai Shuichi closed his phone and said, “If it’s about countermeasures against those guys, I’m still thinking.”

Conan said, “But when I saw Mr. Akai, I thought, are you thinking the same thing as me?”

Akai Shuichi raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”

In Kir’s hospital room, Akai Shuichi came to take over the shift. Soon after, a message came from the door telling him to go to a meeting, and Akai Shuichi left.

After a while, a dark figure entered from the door. It was the long-missing Hondou Eisuke. It turned out he had disguised himself as a patient and hidden in the hospital, waiting for an opportunity to meet Kir.

He came to find his sister, Hondou Hidemi. Now she was his only lead. If she was taken somewhere else, he might not be able to find her.

He couldn’t wake her up. In desperation, he picked up the scissors next to him and stabbed the person on the hospital bed. Kir opened her eyes, grabbed his wrist, and said to him, “This won’t do, Eisuke-kun.”

The scene then shifted to another place. It seemed there was very crucial information here.

“That Mr. Akai did it on purpose, right, Kudo? You set up this trap with him to lure out Hondou Eisuke, didn’t you?” Hattori Heiji asked this, but in his heart, he had already confirmed this guess. Otherwise, why would it be such a coincidence? And given Akai Shuichi’s demonstrated abilities, even if he encountered such a situation, he wouldn’t just leave like that.

Kudo Shinichi said, “Yes, time was very tight, and Hondou Eisuke was the key person to get Kir to talk, so we set up a trap to test him.”

“Things went smoothly. The siblings met, but…”

Such a meeting certainly wouldn’t be as they had hoped…

Hattori Heiji had encountered many police officers since he was young, and he had met a few undercover police officers. At first, he didn’t know what they had done, he just felt that their demeanor was different from ordinary police officers. Now that he thought about it, if they carried such conviction and bore so much, how could they be the same?
