Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

Chapter 899: Two Task Force Leaders

Lin Jiayou greeted them with practiced ease...

Although Hayashi Keiyu entrusted Shimabukuro Kimie with collecting Matsumoto Kiyonaga's personal information...................................

However, this does not mean that Lin Chia-yu has been suffering from nebula all along..................................

In fact, he was also collecting information, but not about Matsumoto Kiyonaga's personal life; rather, he was collecting information about his workplace....................................

Just like Vermouth before, he disguised himself briefly, infiltrated the Metropolitan Police Department, and then collected a batch of police officer files..................................

You don't need to know every detail; just make a list of everyone Matsumoto Kiyonaga might come into contact with, making sure there are no clues.

Of course, don't think this is too simple—

Kiyoshi Matsumoto worked at the Metropolitan Police Department for decades, and came into contact with far more than a few hundred people...................................

From high-ranking officials in departments like the Criminal Investigation Department to police officers in various police stations, Matsumoto Kiyonaga had contact with everyone...

Or rather, those who might come into contact with...................................

Lin Jiayou couldn't be sure who Matsumoto Kiyonaga had contacted, so he just wrote them all down...

Fortunately, Lin Jiayou's memory is extraordinary, perhaps enhanced by a special constitution, so memorizing these people's faces and names wasn't too difficult for him.

It was precisely because of this thorough preparation that Lin Jiayou was able to appear completely at ease on his first day at the Metropolitan Police Department.

Those around him who had greeted 'Matsumoto Kiyonaga' had no doubt that their Matsumoto supervisor had been replaced by a different person.

Lin Jiayou didn't linger and went straight to his 'own' office.

He took out the file that Odagiri Toshiro had given to Matsumoto Kiyonaga yesterday and read it carefully again.................................

"As expected..."

Lin Jiayou muttered to himself...................................

It seems he really is lucky...............................

Yesterday, he had even considered that if the case Odagiri Toshiro gave to Matsumoto Kiyonaga wasn't his, then he might have wasted his time today...

But now it seems I've been pretty lucky—

This case is the one that I, Gin, and the organization want to understand............................

Because, on the list of victims in the case file, there was none other than the secretary of the congressman they were concerned about—Okakura Masaaki.................................

Upon seeing the dossier, Lin Jiayou's memories from his previous life, which had become somewhat hazy, began to awaken gradually...

Mahjong tiles, the current six dead, and....................................

Lin Jiayou silently made plans in his mind.................................

After being reminded by the case file, I now basically remember who the last remaining victim was...

If they lay in ambush beforehand, they'll definitely be able to catch the murderer before the police do.

but..................................

Lin Jiayou smiled coldly to himself.

If all this work was just to catch a murderer, that would be incredibly boring...................................

Furthermore, I do need to stay at the Metropolitan Police Department to continue observing whether the police are involved in this case...

In the original work, there shouldn't be any; it's just a simple serial murder case.................................

but......................................

Now, things are hard to say...................................

Let's talk about two aspects—

First, Amuro Tooru has returned to Tokyo ahead of schedule...

At this point in the original story, Amuro Tooru should not have returned yet, and the struggle between Conan and the organization has not yet fully unfolded...

The public security department hasn't officially started to intervene yet...

But now, Amuro Tooru is back. Although he's suffered repeated defeats, his individual abilities are undeniably quite good...

Perhaps this guy saw some news and sensed something was wrong with Okakura Masaaki, prompting the police to start an investigation.

Secondly................................

The Japanese Public Security Bureau has recently suffered heavy losses in its struggle against organized crime........................

They might not dare to launch a large-scale crackdown on the organization as they had before, but...............................

They're definitely more inclined to do those underhanded things...

If you can't win on the main battlefield, then attack from behind enemy lines...

This can be considered as learning from advanced strategic experience..........................................

Therefore, nothing is certain...

Precisely because he was worried about potential action from the Japanese Public Security Bureau, Lin Jiayou couldn't just leave and had to stay longer.................................

However.................................

Lin Jiayou's eyes flickered twice.

I might be able to take advantage of the Japanese Public Security Bureau's desire to cause trouble and do something in return...

Well, let's see if some people cooperate during the meeting later......................................

Lin Jiayou thought to himself.

dong dong dong -- dong dong dong --

There was a knock on the door...................................

"Please come in."

Lin Jiayou spoke in a soft voice, like Matsumoto Kiyotaka.

Outside the door, a police officer walked in and spoke to 'Matsumoto Kiyonaga'.

"Manager Matsumoto, the people in the conference room have arrived..."

"okay, I get it."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga nodded, then stood up and walked out of the office..............................

He walked straight towards the conference room.............................

Based on the information in the case file, the police officer's words, and fragments of his memories from his previous life, it seems that police from multiple regions are currently holding a meeting...

Of course, whether the police come or not is of no importance to Lin Jiayou............................

Interestingly, this time the task force includes more than just 'Matsumoto Kiyonaga' as an administrator...................................

"Matsumoto Management Officer............................"

As Matsumoto Kiyonaga walked, a deep, muffled sound came from beside him...

He calmly turned around, glanced at the person, and nodded...

"Chief Administrator Kuroda.............................."

"This time, our task is very difficult..."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga spoke meaningfully to Kuroda Hyōe.

Kuroda Hyōe nodded, a serious look appearing in his only remaining eye...

"We have one week to find a serial killer who has left almost no trace..."

"We can only do our best, and we believe that the police forces in various regions can cooperate effectively..."

"Um........................"

The two chatted casually for a bit before heading to the conference room together.

That's right, this task force is different from the previous ones; it's not headed by a mere manager like Matsumoto Kiyona...

Kuroda Hyōe is also the head of the special task force..................
