Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1276 Just Mutual Surveillance

Yu also flipped through the documents in his hand. The black market information was indeed worth the price, and even the information on Haba Nizoichi was very detailed.

"Haba Nizoichi, a law graduate, once participated in judicial training with the goal of passing the judge qualification exam, but disrupted the exam room order after failing the exam."

This act was seen as a loss of control stemming from a self-satisfied sense of justice, and he was subsequently permanently disqualified from practicing law; he was no longer qualified to be a judge, let alone a lawyer.

He glanced up at Orange Mirror; the other person had their head bowed, their expression hidden in the shadows. He continued reading, "Later, they joined Orange Mirror's law firm as a clerk, responsible for handling case files and other auxiliary work..."

"Enough!" Tachibana Kyoko interrupted Yuya, her expression contorted with anger.

Yuu shut his mouth and quietly looked at her.

After a long pause, Orange Mirror took a deep breath and slowly said, "Everyone has an external and an internal aspect; what you see is only one side of it..."

She felt a little tired and didn't want to continue. She forced a tearful smile at Eri: "I heard from Ran that since Mr. Mori's decision not to prosecute has been made, we don't need me anymore."

Eri Kisaki was somewhat surprised: "Ah? Yes, is that so..."

Before Eri could continue speaking, Tachibana Kyoko bowed slightly and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Shiratori Ninzaburo also spoke up, "Then I'll take my leave too, I still have search work to do."

Yuya asked, "Are you investigating the culprit, NOR?"

Shiratori Ninzaburo nodded: "That's right, we have already requested assistance from NAZU in the search."

“NAZU?” Yu was taken aback. “Is it the NAZU in the US?” What is its connection to that organization?

Shiratori Ninzaburo: "That's right, last year NAZU also experienced an unauthorized access incident via NOR."

Yu also knew about this: "Is it the case that Attorney Tachibana defended?" It was the case last year where a game company employee illegally accessed the NAZU system because he thought it was fun.

Shiratori Renzaburo nodded: "This incident served as a wake-up call for them, so NAZU developed a system specifically for tracking NOR users. However, NAZU is busy with the landing mission of the Swan today, and can only start analyzing it for us tomorrow."

Yuya: "Oh, is it that unmanned probe?"

Shiratori Ninzaburo nodded: "Yes, it was originally scheduled for the same day as the summit, and the Metropolitan Police Department was also extremely busy."

Yuya seemed lost in thought. "Right, the summit was originally scheduled to start today, but it was postponed because of the bombing..."

Wait, Yuya suddenly froze. A bombing, NOR, and the same illegal access methods as last year…

Police officers caught in the explosion...

Fumiichi Haba, who stole game company data and committed suicide after interrogation...

Someone didn't turn off the key tones...

The orange mirror that appears to be a rendezvous with Kazami Yuya...

Assistants to public security police...

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning shattered the darkness—a bold guess suddenly surfaced in Yuya's mind: could it be...?

···

A white Mazda was parked on the side of the road.

Suddenly, the car door opened, and a big guy and a small guy got into the back seat.

Amuro Tooru showed no surprise and said calmly, "It seems you knew I would come all along."

Yu glanced at him indifferently, crossed her legs, and said nothing.

Conan spoke up, saying, "What first struck me as odd was the unusual battery drain on my phone..."

He doesn't usually use his phone, and normally a single charge should last him a day or even two. However, on the day Kogoro Mouri was taken away, he couldn't even last half a day.

At that time, Conan's phone had been away from him for a while, and before that, Yuya Kazami had approached him from behind.

It's no wonder he's a subordinate of Amuro Tooru, who works in secret intelligence activities; his ability to steal is truly admirable. Conan was completely unaware that his phone had been stolen.

Conan continued, "I had someone check my phone and found that it had a remote control app installed, the kind that doesn't leave an icon."

Amuro Tooru calmly replied, "Is there any evidence to prove that the Public Security Bureau did it?"

Conan shook his head: "Didn't find it. You guys are something else."

He didn't realize that he was already under Amuro Tooru's surveillance before he started eavesdropping on Kazami Yuya.

He probably controlled the camera through that app and saw and heard the whole process of his investigation, right?

It's a matter of reciprocity, I suppose.

Amuro Tooru asked with a hint of curiosity, "Now that you know, why don't you uninstall the app?"

Conan didn't answer, but looked at Yuya instead.

Yu slowly began, "You need to know the progress of the case investigation through us, and we also need to do some things through you that are inconvenient for us to do."

"Were you instructing Prosecutor Iwai on whether or not to prosecute Uncle Kogoro?"

"And what about Attorney Tachibana? Is he an assistant to your Public Security Bureau? Let me think, whose is he? It should be Officer Kazami's, right?"

Amuro Tooru was visibly taken aback, realizing that his guess had been completely correct. He smiled slightly but did not answer directly: "Well, who knows?"

Yuya smiled faintly. He knew he was right, otherwise Amuro Tooru wouldn't have used such an obviously deceptive excuse to get away with it.

Yu didn't dwell on that question any further and brought up another matter: "We're going to see the real criminals now, do you want to come along?"

Amuro Tooru was taken aback: "You know who the real culprit is?"

Yuya nodded: "That's right, including his motive. His motive... is you police!"

Amuro Tooru was clearly stunned, looking at Yuya in the rearview mirror with extreme incomprehension.

Yuya slowly said, "The cause of this matter is that NAZU illegal access incident."

Amuro Tooru pondered, "That happened last year..." Suddenly, his expression changed, "Haba Nizoichi!"

Yuya nodded: "Yes, Mr. Haba, you committed suicide in the detention center last year, right? Was it you?"

Amuro Tooru opened his mouth: "I guess so... this time last year."

Upon hearing the date of Yuya Fumiya's suicide, Yuya suddenly paused, "You mean, this day last year?"

The anniversary of Yubaba's death, the start date of the summit, the day the "Swan" landed...

The coincidence of these three events occurring on the same day caused Yuya's expression to change drastically, and Conan's pupils contracted sharply as if he had just realized something.

Amuro Tooru finally understood, his face instantly turning deathly pale: "So that's how it is..."

Yuya shouted, "How much longer until the Swan lands?!"

Amuro Tooru's eyes flickered, and he opened his mouth to say, "According to the planned time, there's less than an hour left!"

Yuya slammed his hand on the back of his chair: "Quick, to court!"

"Understood!" Amuro Tooru replied, slamming on the gas pedal. The Mazda shot forward and sped along the road.

"I hope I can still make it," Yuya murmured.

If their reasoning is correct, the culprit likely intended to hack into NAZU again, seize control, and cause the unmanned probe "Swan" to crash from the sky.

But where is his target?

Just then, Amuro Tooru's exclamation suddenly rang in my ears.

Yuu suddenly looked up, her pupils shrinking instantly—vehicles that were driving normally on the road suddenly burst into thick smoke, and the cars lost control, swaying and crashing towards them.

"careful!"
