Chapter 493 Detective Conan 59

Chapter 493: 493 Detective Conan 59

The organization somehow managed to load all the treasure onto the fishing boat and was able to return to the Virgin Islands before sunrise.

It was incredibly lucky that they didn’t get caught by the Coast Guard.

Once they arrived in the Virgin Islands, only those who were getting off got off, and following the organization’s Jin’s instructions, the fishing boat just refueled and left again for somewhere.

From what I heard, it seemed like they were planning to store the treasure somewhere and deal with it later.

Since it was an old treasure, it was practically the same as an artifact, so it seemed difficult to dispose of it right away.

"I think we’re going to get a big bonus this time?"

"Really? Then I guess I can expect a hefty fee for the job too."

"I want to take a shower first. The dried seawater feels sticky. Wanna do it together?"

"Sure."

We rested like that for the day and from the next day, the two of us put on a light disguise and enjoyed some sightseeing in the Virgin Islands.

"Honey, I had fun. See you next time."

"I had fun too. Let’s meet again."

Vermouth left for Los Angeles for work and I took a flight to New York and arrived at the penthouse in Manhattan.

Before Conan and the others came, I used [Life Magic] to clean and tidy up, and I went to the airport and did some maintenance on the ’Cirrus Vision Jet’ plane I had stored there.

"Ugh... American immigration is still so hard..."

"Sonoko, really... I told you to prepare in advance. Ah, there’s Jin over there!"

I saw them coming out of the airport and waved, and Conan and his group recognized me and came over happily.

The people who arrived in New York were Ran, Sonoko, Morgan, Haibara, Conan, and Kogoro.

Haruka (Akemi) unfortunately had just been hired, so there wasn’t enough justification to bring her.

"Everyone arrived safely."

"This is my first time flying first class. Thanks to you I came comfortably, but isn’t it super expensive?"

"We have to go a long way, so I just booked something comfortable, so don’t worry too much about it."

I wish Ran would just accept it as it is by now, but she still seems to feel burdened.

We took the 8-seater Chevrolet Suburban I had purchased in advance and moved to the penthouse for now.

"Wow, Morgan’s house is amazing! The Empire State Building is right in front..."

"You can see all of Manhattan at a glance!"

"Whoa, there’s a grand piano in the house."

They were out of their minds when they saw Morgan’s penthouse.

"First, I’ll assign you rooms, so let’s unpack."

Morgan assigned the rooms similarly to the yacht.

Me and Haibara, Ran and Sonoko, Conan and Kogoro, like that.

On the first day, we went to Times Square, enjoyed dinner at a famous hamburger place, looked around the Empire State Building, and then returned home.

In fact, Conan’s group had already been to New York before, so they weren’t that surprised or amazed.

Conan and Ran had been to New York before at the invitation of Kudo Yukiko, and Sonoko had also been there several times with her family.

Still, Kogoro and Haibara, who were in New York for the first time, were busy looking around everywhere.

The next day, we looked around the art museum and the National Museum of the American Indian, and the Statue of Liberty, then had a meal at a famous pizza place in New York and returned.

And the next day, we moved to the airport, took the ’Cirrus Vision Jet’ plane, arrived at Niagara Airport, and looked around Niagara Falls.

"Wow, amazing! I didn’t know Niagara Falls would be this magnificent... It’s completely different from seeing it on TV!"

Sure enough, since it was their first time here, everyone liked it very much.

But Sonoko seemed to have already been here as well.

As the daughter of a rich family, it seemed she had traveled to many places and had many experiences.

Still, fortunately, perhaps because she came with friends this time, she said it felt different from when she came before and she enjoyed it in her own way.

Kyaaaah!

But at that moment, someone was bleeding with a knife in their chest.

Looking at the condition, it seemed they were stabbed in the liver area and were about to die soon.

The group was flustered at the sight, but perhaps because it was a tourist spot, the police and paramedics arrived quickly and began to control the area and handle the situation.

But Conan was trembling and fidgeting.

That damned detective disease had kicked in again.

"If you disappear this time, I’ll just leave you behind, so find your own way back."

"Da, damn it..."

At my words, Conan hit the railing with his fist and was very disappointed.

I wondered if it was that unbearable, but it seemed Conan’s detective disease was quite severe.

Haibara, who saw that, also sighed and said a word.

"How about putting a leash on him so he can’t go anywhere? And a muzzle too."

"Oh, that’s not a bad idea?"

At those words, Conan flared up.

"Am I a dog?!"

"Looking at what you’re doing, it looks like you need it."

"That’s right, that’s right."

"Ha... I’m going crazy..."

Conan also knew his own condition, so he couldn’t make any more excuses and just wiped his face.

We stayed one night at the Niagara Falls Hotel and then flew to Washington D.C. and looked around the White House, the monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and so on.

"The Lincoln statue is huge! I didn’t know."

"I know, I’ve only ever seen it in movies, so I didn’t know it was this big."

But then a sharp scream from a woman was heard from somewhere again.

Kyaaaaaah!!!

This time, a woman was lying limp, foaming at the mouth and dead, and it seemed she had been hit with poison.

Someone might see a murder scene once in a lifetime, but we had seen it twice while on a sightseeing trip.

This Conan worldview really couldn’t be helped.

’Man... that grim reaper is working hard...’

At that time, Ran said urgently.

"Jin, Conan suddenly disappeared!"

That brat Conan must have finally been unable to stand it and went to the scene of the incident.

"Conan’s parents just came and took him. They contacted me yesterday and said they’d meet in Washington."

I said that, fully intending to really abandon him this time.

"Is that true?! Phew... thank goodness. Still, it’s too much to leave without saying anything."

"Conan must have been out of his mind from sightseeing too. He’s still young, so please understand."

"Okay, I get it."

After we finished sightseeing, we had a meal at a restaurant near the airport, returned to Manhattan again, and rested at the penthouse.

"Is, is this okay?"

Haibara asked with a flustered expression, noticing that I had left Conan behind.

"Honestly, we came all this way to go sightseeing, does it make sense to waste a long time getting involved in a case when the police are already there? And that’s if he were alone, but there are so many people moving together."

"It doesn’t... But this isn’t Japan, it’s America..."

"Don’t worry. He’s not really a little kid, and his father is also in America. He’ll probably be stuck at the police station for a few days and his father will take him. He needs to suffer a bit this time."

"Well, he did that last time too."

"And I warned him. I told him I would leave him behind if he did that here."

"I see. He did it knowing that, so he’ll find his own way back."

Haibara also nodded as if she finally understood, since there was Conan’s behavior up until now.

So for the last day, we packed a lot of food as if we were on a picnic to Central Park and spent our time leisurely.

Afterwards, we finished our New York sightseeing by looking around the zoo inside the park and returned to Japan.

Of course, on the way back as well, we returned comfortably using first class.

A few days had passed since we returned to Japan, but Conan still hadn’t returned.

It seemed that since America treats children’s human rights issues as quite important, it was taking some time to verify Conan’s identity and his guardian, who had been caught by the police.

Then I got a call from Vermouth.

"Darling, the fee for the job came out. Let’s meet at the hotel."

Since Vermouth found out my contact information, she didn’t approach me conspicuously and seemed to be quietly calling me to the hotel so as not to interfere with my daily life out of consideration.

So I went there and she handed me two carriers full of 100 dollar bills.

It was a lot for a single fee, but considering what Jin of the organization said, that the treasure found was worth 2 billion dollars, it was only 0.7 percent, so I thought it was a bit small.

"It was hard to bring. It’s laundered again this time, so there won’t be any trouble."

"It’s about 14 million dollars. But isn’t that too little for the value of the treasure found? You wouldn’t have even found it if it weren’t for me."

"I knew you’d say that. But I hope you understand. It takes time and costs money to launder the treasure into cash."

"Then it can’t be helped."

"Ah, and this."

Vermouth handed me a document, which was none other than the transfer deed for the island that the Black Organization had dug up hideously to find the treasure.

In addition, she also gave me a permit that allows development.

"It seems like they’re just giving it to you because it’s an island they don’t need anymore."

"Oh, I like this."

When I liked it, Vermouth asked.

"What are you going to do with that island?"

"I’m going to develop it, it’s an island in the Caribbean, it would be a waste. Build a hotel and a port too. They dug up everything, so I’ll have to plant new palm trees too."

"Really? I’ll have to go play there once it’s finished. Anyway, let’s take a shower together quickly."

As expected, that was Vermouth’s purpose.

But I didn’t mind either.

"Haa, haa... How are you so good at this... I was curious and tried it by myself, but I just couldn’t get this feeling?"

She asked the same question as last time.

From her point of view, it seemed completely incomprehensible.

This was because when the [Sweet Semen] ability went up to S rank before, a new NTL defense function was attached, and I thought it was because of that effect.

So I thought that the partner who has sex with me once can’t forget me because of that ecstasy and keeps looking for me.

’Wow... this is close to an addiction ability.’

While I was thinking this, Vermouth asked.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking about why you feel like that. There are many factors, like lack of skill or size, but in my opinion, I think it’s because you’ve only met guys who only focused on their own pleasure? Without thinking about the other person."

"Is that so? Well, I think I’ve only met guys who were inconsiderate or lacking. But from a woman’s point of view, it’s not easy to say it was bad. Men have strong pride."

"Well, that’s true."

"So shall we do it one more time?"

"Sure!"

A month had passed since that day.

Now the vacation was also coming to an end.

During that time, I added one more vehicle.

This time, I chose a vehicle that could enjoy a bit of speed rather than practicality.

But at this time, there weren’t many vehicles that suited my taste and had a design I liked.

In the end, after much thought, what I chose was an old car, a ’1968 Ford Mustang Fastback Eleanor’.

In fact, I quite liked the ’Porsche 911 GT’.

The design of Porsche is timeless.

But it overlapped with the name of Jin of the organization, and I didn’t really want to drive the same car as him.

In the end, for that reason, I chose the Mustang.

And I also started to decorate the island I received from the Black Organization little by little.

I designed the buildings and the port myself, and I hired people separately for the landscaping.

Since it was a large-scale job, it seemed like it would take quite a while just to finish this, but there was no need to rush.

Anyway, there was no reason to finish the island right away, so I was thinking of fixing it up one by one slowly.

Meanwhile, Ran told me while working part-time that Conan had returned.

So I went to the Mori Detective Agency and saw that Conan was still just playing games.

"Just so you know, I didn’t do anything wrong. It was a choice for other people."

At those words, Conan glared at me with a frown and then sighed as if acknowledging it and said to me.

"I know."

It seemed like he had something to say, so it looked like he had a pretty hard time in America.

I couldn’t help but chuckle at that sight.

When the vacation ended and I went to school, something interesting happened again.

Vermouth was disguised as the school nurse ’Araide Tomoaki’ at Teitan High School.

In the original, she infiltrated the school a bit early, but in this world, since I was there and Vermouth was also involved with me in various things, I thought she was a bit late.

I smiled slightly when I saw Tomoaki, and Tomoaki saw me smiling and suddenly called me to the infirmary.

"Man... I got caught. How did you know?"

"There is a color to the soul. So disguise doesn’t work on me. But why did you infiltrate this school? And what happened to the original school nurse?"

"Of course the mission is a secret. But I can tell you about the school nurse. His father died and his state of mind changed, so he went to a quiet town in America with his family."

This was also a little different from the original.

Originally, he faked a traffic accident to avoid the Black Organization and was hiding in America.

But in this world, he just voluntarily left.

For that reason, Tomoaki didn’t come into contact with the FBI, so I guess it became even harder for the FBI to find Vermouth.

"Really? No wonder... I haven’t seen him lately."

"Anyway, it’s a secret, okay?"

"Yeah, yeah."
