While she was not present in person during this thief's case, she knew that Kudo Shinichi appeared and pretended to be Hattori Heiji because this man was down in the hospital. Considering the strain on one's body and all, it was already good that Conan was fine and only exhausted.
She looked at the tired brat and sighed in her heart.
For the persistence and justice in his heart, he didn't mind suffering and bear everything alone.
While Mouri Ran was waiting for him.
Well, one was willing to fight and the other was also willing to wait, so Hikari Yuki could only give her blessing to this couple sincerely.
Even though she felt like hitting Conan's head for making Ran cry at times.
But if it was herself… she would rather fight on her own instead of waiting for someone. She wouldn't be able to bear with the waiting and would definitely take the matter into her own hand no matter how difficult it is.
"The train is here."
"Ah, let's go inside."
Everyone entered the train and Hikari Yuki saw no. 2 who looked like he was almost dead.
"What happened to him?" Hikari Yuki asked curiously.
"He was hospitalized because of injury in the past few days and nearly fell off the stairs not long ago," Mouri Ran replied helplessly.
Kayama Ichiro nodded and then glanced at Hikari Yuki.
He had used his ability last night to see what Conan experienced. That was why he was exhausted and nearly fell down.
He had already refreshed his ability, but he had the feeling that he wouldn't be able to use it much.
It was rare for him to use his ability so frequently.
Last time was during the prologue mission.
'Lets try.'
So when Hikari Yuki sat down and started talking with Mouri Ran about their experience, he moved his hand and touched Hikari Yuki's bag.
And then his expression stumped.
Because he saw very clearly that Hikari Yuki had just bought this bag and moved her belongings inside. He couldn't see any of her belongings as it was covered in light.
And then, Hikari Yuki came out of the hotel and headed to the train.
This wasted a few hours of his ability and Kayama Ichiro took a deep breath.
He restrained himself and then switched to Hikari Yuki clothes.
The result is worse.
Before being used, it was tightly kept inside the bag and was not used in the slightest bit. So all he could see is darkness.
Kayama Ichiro: "..."
He had wasted more than 12 hours, but he obtained nothing.
So he switched to the last one, the shoes.
And then he only saw that it was resting in the hotel room until the time limit was up.
Kayama Ichiro took a deep breath.
Damn it.
How could he be so unlucky?
Hikari Yuki watched Kayama Ichiro's performance from the corner of her eyes and her eyes flickered. She had purposely changed her belongings before departure and yesterday, she spent her day in the hotel.
Now seeing the frustration in his face, Hikari Yuki understands that her precautions worked.
He couldn't get anything useful.
This is good.
The corner of her lips curled up slightly before it returned to normal and she focused her attention to talk with Mouri Ran, Kazuha, and Sonoko.
The shinkansen soon arrived at their destination and everyone left one by one.
…
Long distance away, Bourbon's side.
Getting information was definitely Bourbon's purpose in following Sake's order when they were in Kyoto. In the end, it didn't even take one week and he was already 'returned' to Rum.
Naturally, he also made a copy of the information after tampering some parts before handing it over to Rum.
"You're indeed an exceptional intelligent officer, Bourbon." Rum's mechanical voice could be heard from the phone.
Bourbon had a smile on his face as he replied, "Thank you for your compliment, Rum."
He had been working under Rum for a long time, so he was naturally aware of Rum's ambitious and suspicious nature. At the same time, he understood very well that it was not so easy for him to climb up.
It was rare for Rum to call him directly.
Usually, it was nothing more than emails.
Many of them were also urging him to be fast in his work.
"The next time you go on a mission with Sake, I want you to monitor his movement," Rum said so coldly that not even the mechanical tone could hide it.
Bourbon arched his eyebrows.
He knew that there was a factional dispute within the organization. This was even more so because many of them have their own roles and so on.
Bourbon usually used this chance to dig more information or even provoke an even worse war between them. Of course, he did it secretly because he couldn't afford being found out.
But…
"Sake is very powerful and wary of me, Rum. I might not be able to have the chance to go on mission with him again," Bourbon said carefully.
He was sure that Vermouth should have shared how the two of them nearly killed each other back in the US.
Besides, Sake usually avoided him.
After the mission was over, Sake would leave without hesitation and didn't bother coming any closer, so even if Bourbon wanted to, it was difficult for him to get close to the other party.
"Heh." Rum sneered. Sake might have risen quickly in the organization, but she still has to listen to the Boss's order. Besides… "Then you figure out how to get close to him yourself, Bourbon. As a top intelligence officer, I'm sure you can do this."
Bourbon's expression darkened.
Getting close to Sake?
Thinking about the people whom Sake had killed in front of him, Bourbon felt great resistance from deep within. Besides, he had seen that Sake was wary of him and didn't have any good impression of him.
Trying to get close to the other party would be difficult.
Moreover…
Sake was quite similar to those from the intelligent department.
His whereabouts have always been a mystery and he didn't usually report it. Moreover, the great anti tracking ability meant that whenever there was no mission, no one could find Sake.
Perhaps, his subordinates would be able to do that.
But Bourbon hadn't been able to get any information.
The people under Sake were extremely loyal and would not be willing to betray any information about Sake. And most of them were not in Japan, so Bourbon couldn't really pester them for information when he had other missions.
"In that case, I need more information about Sake," Bourbon said slowly.
Rum was silent for a while and after a moment he spat out, "Cava."
"Hmm?"
"Cava had cooperated with Sake a lot and he had the information you will need."
After that, Rum hung up the call.
