…
On the scene, Margaret was handcuffed while she was still dizzy and couldn't even walk straight.
Megumi Aiko was fighting with Matsuda Jinpei and it was Officer Date who separated these two people. It was really funny to see them bickering all the time.
"What I don't understand is how come Margaret is Sano Marta… is it her English name?" Officer Date wondered after Megumi Aiko and Matsuda Jinpei stopped fighting.
"Who knows?" Matsuda Jinpei snorted.
"Is she really the serial killer?" Megumi Aiko asked for confirmation. Even though in reality she already knew the answer, so this question was actually a bit deliberate.
Hikari Yuki saw Megumi Aiko's expression and her expression turned a bit strange as she shook her head slightly.
She had the faint feeling that Megumi Aiko was really bad at acting.
'It seems that I should not reveal my identity in front of her so soon… she wouldn't be able to hide the truth and it'll be dangerous.'
Megumi Aiko didn't know that because of her poor acting, she would be excluded from access to some information by Hikari Yuki. And even other people also agreed not to share some things with Megumi Aiko.
Otherwise, her acting was not realistic enough!
"The methods are similar, but I still need to cross reference with the existing evidence to be sure," Officer Date replied.
Matsuda Jinpei nodded.
"I just feel that the name Margaret is really strange…" Megumi Aiko didn't know how to approach this matter as she watched the other police officers dragged Sano Marta. She had to be beside the other party when she was transferred away because there was a chance of Sano Marta escaping midway.
They were already in the main hall and Hikari Yuki suddenly stepped forward and said, "Since the case has been solved, can I leave first?"
"Wait, you helped us to catch her, so you need to make some notes," Megumi Aiko said and as she raised her head, she saw the rows of wine bottles behind Hikari Yuki. She quickly read them all and her eyes lit up.
"Aiko?"
"I found Margaret."
"What?"
"There. Margaret River Wine~," Megumi Aiko said with a bright smile as if she didn't think that this was a big deal.
Matsuda Jinpei looked at Megumi Aiko as if he was seeing an idiot. "How could someone name themselves after wines? Are you sick?"
Knock!
"Ouch! Matsuda Jinpei!"
"Alright, alright, stop fighting!"
While Megumi Aiko knew the truth, she couldn't possibly tell this to Matsuda Jinpei and Officer Date.
But the wine name was enough.
Because she could see Conan's face turning pale and he turned to look at Sano Marta only to see that there were more police officers outside.
"Who are they, Inspector Megure?" Officer Sate was stunned.
"They're the public security… they plan to transfer the case over," Inspector Megure replied and he looked at Officer Date worriedly. From what he knew, Officer Date had been working on this case for months and they directly took this case over…
It was really annoying.
Conan's mind turned and he directly understood that it was the public security who would handle big cases that were connected to the organization like this. But in this case, doesn't it mean that he wouldn't have the chance to come into contact with the organization's news?
What should he do?
After a moment, he thought about Akai Shuichi and perhaps the FBI could contact the public security for cooperation?
But Akai Shuichi had already faked his death.
So he could only turn to Jodie.
In this way, various conversations and negotiations suddenly come out, but it was not Hikari Yuki's business. Her task was over after she made sure that Margaret was caught and Megumi Aiko managed to let Conan know that this woman was part of the organization.
As for the rest?
Sorry, she was too lazy to participate.
…
Hikari Yuki planned to leave after taking the notes, but she saw no. 5 coming out to talk with Officer Date.
[ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: No. 5, I didn't expect you to look like that.
Public Security Officer [5]: I'm already in my late forties. Do you expect me to still look as young as people like you?
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: Haha. If you want to stay on the frontline, you should take care, no. 5
Public Security Officer [5]: I'm more of a support commander on the back. Even though I'm still training every day, I'm definitely not as strong as I used to be. This is enough and we already have enough frontline fighters like you.
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: Got it, no. 5
Public Security Officer [5]: Be careful.]
…
Hikari Yuki was basically prolonging the time for her to make a report to Rum. Even if there were eyeliner around, they could see that she was still around the police officers and it was not possible to send messages.
Not everyone knew she is Sake, but Rum would definitely know. He's a suspicious person by nature and will definitely send someone to check.
It'll be a bit troublesome.
Besides, it was obvious that her line and Rum's line were not close to each other.
It was already good enough if she didn't push him down further when he's in trouble, so Kurokawa Saki was extremely calm.
Once she was done with the report, she sent a message to Rum.
Karin has already known about this and is currently working with no. 5. And Furuya Rei somehow received the news and sent people to ask for cooperation.
Kurokawa Saki didn't know how he did that and was not interested in knowing either.
Oh wait.
It should be because Rum is making trouble and asked him to investigate it. Even if it's not him, it might be his 'subordinate' in the organization.
Either way, there were already 3 parties and the FBI didn't jump in.
Perhaps because James knew that they were here for 'vacation' and couldn't appear openly yet. Kurokawa Saki was sure that Conan would be disappointed, though.
And not long afterwards, Kurokawa Saki heard about Margaret's death in the detention.
Looking at the time, Kurokawa Saki sighed.
There were too many people that Winery could still use at this stage that it was a bit annoying.
"...How did she die?" Kurokawa Saki was calling Karin right now.
"A public security officer killed her. He's a new recruit and after he succeeded, he was murdered by their accomplice. It's a mess and based on the record, it seems that he's an ordinary member." Karin rubbed her forehead tiredly.
They have managed to catch a lot of members of the organization, but their operation team seemed to face a lot of setbacks in Japan. At least, when it came to some important members, they failed to get more information.
"The public security officer, is he new or…?"
"Are you fishing, Miss?" Karin was amused. "He's new and was coerced through bribery a few months ago. Tsk, a public security officer yet he was morally corrupt. I have to say he deserved it… I'll continue the investigation, but I doubt that I'll get anything from this."
"Got it."
