## Chapter 257: Multiple Confirmations
"Kaito is currently taking exams, so he's not active," Feimo said, hopping onto the Table. "The Crows haven't found any Organization Activity either, so we can't find their Trace for now."
"Keep an eye on him. He definitely won't be idle after his exams. Let's go on Vacation first..."
Chi Feichei's Line of Sight shifted downwards, and his Gaze paused after seeing the name of the Hotel on the Free Invitation Ticket placed on the Table.
Mist Peak Hotel?
Two years ago at a banquet, he had met the President of Mist Peak Hotel.
Teraizumi Daigo.
A man in his fifties or sixties, well-maintained, looking Just Like someone in his forties.
The Reason he had a deep Impression was Because His Dad's Secretary had Specially mentioned to him that this Human's Actions were not Clean.
There were some Things that Outsiders were not Clear about, But Shinchi Group had Previously Purchased Land from Teraizumi Daigo and had Specially Gained Knowledge about this Human.
After Teraizumi Daigo Aimed at some people's Luxury Cars and Property, he would either Incite The Other Party's Children or Family to Sell them at a Low Price, or Release Bad Rumors, and then Purchase them at a Low Price after The Other Party Thought the Things had Devalued.
Even More, the Masters of those Things, some would Suddenly Damage Things of great Value, some would Start being Addicted to Gambling or Buying Lottery Tickets. After those Human Owed Debt, Teraizumi Daigo would Appear and Buy the Things with a Small Amount of Funds, or Directly Mortgage Loans, and Finally Get the Things into his Hand.
That Time, Teraizumi Daigo Drank Too Much and Talked About it with the Human from the Group responsible for Negotiations. The Property he had held for the Longest Time was Already Almost Thirty Years old. Big and Small, some Devalued, some Appreciated. He had Almost Forgot Exactly How Much Land he had Taken, But some of the Information registered At That Time was Too Vague, making them impossible to Sell through Regular Channels, and some Dark Place Channels were Too Black. He had No Funds to Develop them, so they were Just Like Chicken Rib.
Presently, the Chicken Rib in Teraizumi Daigo's Eye had Instead become a 'Treasure' in Chi Feichei's Eye.
He wanted to Find Two more Safe Houses and Just Didn't Know where to Start Doing. He could Afford to Buy Land, But it was Easy to Be Investigated. The Free Invitation Ticket Mouri Ran gave him Just reminded him of this Human.
This Kind of Property with Vague Information was the Best Safe House.
A Temporary Residence could be However, Even If it was Temporarily Occupying Someone Else's Place, it was Okay. But if it Needed to be Stable, it was Necessary to Confirm who the Property's Original Master was.
These Houses were Not Easy to Transfer Ownership and Very Difficult to Obtain Construction Permits, But some Agreements had been Signed, the Kind that could be Won in a Lawsuit.
If, After Occupying them, the Original Master was Still Alive, or Discovered that Someone had Occupied them and Came Looking for them, making a big fuss would be a Trouble.
"Master, What's Wrong?" Hassashi Saw Chi Feichei Stop Halfway through his Sentence, and Stretched his Head to Look at the Desktop.
Chi Feichei Picked Up the Free Invitation Ticket, Looked at the Date on it. He Remembered Today was July 25th, Then...
Calculation Failed, Direct Give Up.
"How Many Day are left Before July 3rd?"
"July 3rd is the Day After Tomorrow." Hassashi Answered on his own Initiative, Sighing A Bit in his Heart.
Feimo also couldn't Bear to Look at Chi Feichei anymore, his Mood was Complex, Not Knowing Whether he Should Sympathize or Feel Heart Sour. If it weren't for Them, How would Master Live This Day...
"Still Two Day left..."
Chi Feichei Turned his Head, Looking at the Scorching Sun Outside.
Never Mind, Let's Talk About it After the Sun Sets.
This Time, Conan will Also Go to Kai Peak Hotel. Compared to the Plot in his Memory, it Should Be the Super Sports Car Trap Case. The Murderer Killed the Human Because his Sports Car was Deceived.
If Nothing Unexpected Happens, Teraizumi Daigo is Definitely Dead.
If Something Unexpected Happens, Teraizumi Daigo also won't Live.
If he Participated In, he Might Save the Case Victim, or he Might Trigger Other Accidents. The More People the Deceased Offended, the More Intense the 'Rebound'.
In Other Words, he Must Obtain Suitable Property Before July 3rd. Otherwise, After Teraizumi Daigo Dies, Even If Various Circles Cooperate to Inventory Assets, a Portion of the Real Estate Probably won't be Investigated, and will Just be Abandoned.
Whether or Not to Bring the Organization?
If he Needs to set up a Safe House, it is Necessary to Say Something. And if he has Intelligence But doesn't Tell the Organization, letting the Organization Miss Useful Things in Vain, it will be Trouble if Others Find Out Afterwards.
Might as well Take The Opportunity to Brush up on some Merit...
Chi Feichei Considered A Bit and Sent an Email to The Boss:
[I have Intelligence on a Large Amount of Real Estate with Vague Information. I can't Use So Many. Does the Organization Need it? - Raki]
The Reply was Very Fast and Very Concise: [Contact Gin Oneself]
This Reply was Not Out of his Expectation.
The Boss Just Confirms a Goal, For Example, Guaranteeing the Progress of a Certain Research. As For How Many Laboratories are Needed and When to Replace them in the Process of Achieving this Goal, that is Something They Should Consider.
He Sent the Email Just to Report In Advance.
The Organization also has some System:
First, Report In Advance.
Private Actions, No Matter What you Do, it's Okay. But Actions Related to the Organization must be Reported.
The Actions of Core Members are Arranged by the Action Commander, so there is no Situation of Reporting. But if an Individual Discovers Something, or needs to Conduct a Certain Action Related to the Organization, they Generally need to Report it to the Action Commander.
And Action Commanders are Directly Contacted by The Boss. If they need to Arrange a Certain Action, they also need to Report to The Boss.
Even If he Knew The Boss didn't Care about these Things, he still needed to Say Something to Let The Boss Know What he Wanted to Do.
Secondly, Multiple Parties Confirm.
For Most of the Organization's Actions towards the Outside, one person can go to Collect Intelligence, But during the Action, Two or More Members must Jointly Participate. Perhaps only one person Starts Doing, But there must be at least Two Insiders.
The Boss will Occasionally Ask, Comparing the Answers from Two Parties or Multiple Parties to Confirm Exactly What They are Doing.
Belmode and he, who have Free Action Authority, can Solve some Small Actions by Themselves. But Other Human Basically involve Multiple Members Participating in a Certain Action.
Afterwards, Amuro Toru, That Kid, will Also Use Belmode's Secret to Threaten Belmode to 'Cooperate with his Actions'. This is Not Just to Let Belmode Help him Disguise, But also to Achieve the Condition of 'Multiple Parties Confirm'.
Belmode has Free Action Authority. She can Investigate Whatever she Wants. As Long As the Two People Unify their Tone and Say They are Investigating a Certain Matter, or Belmode Asks Bourbon to Cooperate with her Investigation to Achieve the Condition for Action, they can have a Large Amount of Time to Do Subtle Moves, to Investigate Things Unrelated to Organization Actions, or the Two People can Plan Actions Themselves.
This System is Both to Ensure that Organization Members don't Mess Around and for Safety.
Every Time there is an Action, the Action Party and the Support Party must be Arranged Properly, Respectively in Different Locations. If one of the Human has an Accident, at least there is Another Human who Knows the Situation, so they won't be Completely in the Dark, Not Even Knowing Why the Human Died.
And Property involves Security Issues, it's Not Just his Matter. From the Start of Action Planning, it's Best for him to Discuss it with Gin or Other Members. Before Achieving the Goal, Maintain Contact and Confirm that Both Parties are Not Doing Any Subtle Moves.
Chi Feichei Pondered, then Sent an Email with Similar Content to Gin:
[I have Intelligence on a Large Amount of Real Estate with Vague Information. I can't Use So Many. Do you Need it? - Raki]
[Let's Talk About it Tonight. - Gin]
[Recently Very Busy? - Raki]
[Weather Hot. - Gin]
Chi Feichei: "..."
Okay, it Seemingly he's Not Just the Only One Dodging the Sun, Gin is Also Dodging.
Thinking About it, it's True. Wearing Black Clothes in this Kind of Weather and Slipping Around Under the Large Sun will Definitely Make Human Understand What it Means to be Hot to the Point of Despair...
Just Right, Taking Advantage Of This Period of Time Before the Sun Sets, Handle Hassashi's Shed Skin A Bit.
Chi Feichei Put Hassashi On the Sofa, Went to Get the Snake Skin from the Glass Tank, then Found a Glass Bottle and Collected Half of his Venom.
On the Bedroom Cabinet, Five Palm-Sized Glass Bottles were Placed in a Row, Full of Venom inside.
The Venom Seemingly wasn't Used, and Not Taking it was Too Wasteful, so he could Only Accumulate it like this.
Can he Consider Selling Venom?
Still Never Mind. It's Like Supporting a Poisonous Snake and Taking Venom, Except he's Supporting Oneself and Taking Venom...
...
After the Sun Set, the Dry Heat in the Air Slowly Subsided.
Chi Feichei Only Then Went Out, Went to the Breeding Point to Get a Fish for Hassashi. When Buying Food Ingredients, he also Bought a Pear for Feimo, and By the Way Bought Some Fruit. He Went Home to Make Meal, and By the Way Asked A Bit his Two Pets Whether or Not they Wanted to Go Over with him Tonight.
Hassashi Naturally Followed.
Feimo Saw that Tonight he Probably didn't Need to Help Explore the Situation, and had No Intention of Following.
Not Long After the Meal was Finished, Gin's Phone Call Came Over.
"Gin?"
"One Hour Afterwards, Yamato Town. Contact me when you Arrive."
"Okay."
Hanging Up the Phone Call, Chi Feichei Brought Hassashi Out, and Drove to Yamato Town.
Confirming the Specific Meeting Location After Arriving was also for Safety, to Prevent One Party from having a Premeditated Plan and Arriving at the Destination First to Do Tricks.
The Situation where One Party Arrives First would Only Be when a Sniper goes to Investigate the Vicinity of the Activity Location First.
Previously, there was a Sniper who Arrived at the Destination About One Hour Before Gin Arrived. He Brought a Group of FBI to Ambush, and then Told Gin: Safe, No Problem, Come Over!
Correct, That Guy was Akai Shuichi.
The Boss Specially Said Over These Matters when Introducing the Situation to him.
When Akai Shuichi was an Undercover Agent in the Organization, his Actions were Sharp, his Knowledge was Outstanding. Before Actions, he Sensed Unusual Situations Multiple Times and Helped Organization Members Evacuate Safely. Plus, he had also Cleaned Up Scotch Whisky, which Brushed up a Certain Degree of Trust.
Organization Members who have Cleaned Up Undercover Agents can Basically be Reused.
Throwing Out a Trap So Suddenly, if it were an Ordinary Person, they Probably Really Would have Fallen For It.
But Pity, Gin also Likes to Play 'Multiple Parties Confirm' when it involves his Own Safety. He would have Multiple Members Go to Confirm Whether the Destination is Safe, So he Discovered the FBI Ambush.
Last Time he Went to London, Under Circumstances where the Sniper would Arrive a Period of Time Before him, he also had Outer Members Go to Confirm the Situation in the Sniper's Vicinity and Confirm Whether the Sniper had Lied.
After All, The Boss Said that 'Core Members cannot be Trusted'. Multiple Parties Confirm is Necessary. Since he can Mobilize Human, In Other Words, it's Just a Matter of Sending an Email or Making a Phone Call.
As For Gin, this has Probably Already Become an Action Protocol for Careful Action. Don't Say Akai Shuichi only Lurked for a Few Years, Even If he Lurked for Ten or Twenty Years, No Matter How Good his Relationship with Gin was, No Matter How Trustworthy he Appeared, Gin would Continue this Set of Action Protocol.
Upon Arriving at Yamato Town, After the Two People Contacted, Two Cars Drove onto a Street, then Left the Street One Before and One After, Arriving at a Secluded Place with an Open Field of Vision, and Parked the Car.
Running a Trip like this, there is Basically No Situation of Being Tracked or Being Ambushed.
Gin didn't Bring Vodka, he Drove Alone. After Getting Out Of the Car, he Directly Asked, "What's the Situation?"
