This world is not black or white.

Most of the time, people often wander in the gray areas of black and white.

Getting married and having children, and experiencing the tempering of life, in his forties... Kudo Yusaku has long passed the age of only looking at the problem with black and white, yes or no.

In short, in order to straighten the key to the problem in your mind, Kudo Yusaki's expression remained unchanged:

"Mr. Shirakawa is indeed extremely keen."

"I'm not hiding the truth. I'm here to play a handful of cards with you this time, just want to ask you a key question."

He said so.

Yu Shirakawa showed a little smile and did not go around in circles: "As long as I am happy to answer, I can tell the truth."

In fact, for people of Kudo Yusaku, going around in circles is useless.

As Shirakawa Yu's gaze, Kudo Yusaki nodded, lowered his voice, and asked him word by word:

"Mr. Shirakawa, where is your position on? What kind of person is considered an enemy to you?"

It's a simple question, but the meaning is not very simple.

Are you an enemy or a friend?

To be honest, Yuzusaku Kudo just wanted to ask this.

Yu Shirakawa was slightly stunned for this question, and then gave his answer-

"What kind of enemy is not the enemy? A harmonious society, where do you have so many enemies?"

"...The job I rely on for a living is to sell intelligence. As long as someone who cannot involve my personal interests, he cannot become an enemy."

Hearing this, Yusuke Kudo's brows slightly relaxed.

——He heard the answer he wanted to hear.

The young intelligence businessman in front of him should not be particularly strong in his sense of belonging to the unimaginable organization behind him.

His position is always himself.

In this case, things are easy to do.

Yusaku Kudo's heart moved and was about to speak.

Yu Shirakawa seemed to have a mind reading technique, and he said slowly:

"Although you seem to trust me quite, I have to mention it."

"...If you don't take Conan away, don't give me his affairs."

"I'm not a nosy person, especially when your son sees suspicious things, he can't stop investigating. This makes me speechless and I don't want to be involved with him."

“…If you want me to be his umbrella, then you’re really thinking too much.”

As he said that, he patted his coat gently, looking irrelevant.

Unexpectedly, Yusuo Kudo smiled slightly and took out a passbook from his arms:

"Mr. Shirakawa, I know whether a businessman talks about profit or not. This is my commission to an intelligence businessman."

"...My son is an immature boy, right, but if it were Mr. Shirakawa, he would definitely get along with him happily."

Yes, this is the perfect way for Kudo Yuzusaki.

After confirming that Yu Shirakawa's position is that the individual is not the collective, he took out all-purpose money and maintained an interest relationship with the other party.

Pay the protection fee to ensure that Conan can live a stable life during his overseas travel.

Yusaku Kudo is a phenomenal novelist who has arranged and designed many scripts, but money is just a number for him.

After taking the passbook, Yu Shirakawa's expression did not change:

"100 million yen? Isn't it good for you to hire a bodyguard with this money? Haha... What can I do as a small intelligence businessman?"

In this regard, Yuzusaku Kudo has been mentally prepared:

"This is just a tiny deposit. Mr. Shirakawa, the subsequent reward is at least ten times that of this."

"... Moreover, we all met each other today, and we are also friends."

"When you have any difficulties in the future, just discuss with me."

“…”

Shirakawa Yu was silent for a moment.

This old guy is bleeding hard enough.

More than one billion, Fuji Yuzusaki’s favor...

So he coughed dryly and changed his attitude: "I actually appreciate the man's character."

"In addition, everyone is friends, so I should have helped each other... I will accept this million deposit first."

"...Well, please transfer the subsequent money to my overseas account. I also have an account with the Swiss bank."

Shamelessly agreed to Yuzusaku Kudo.

Yu Shirakawa thought, anyway, Conan's unlucky child would not die. Belmode would protect him in the early stage, and FBI would support him in the later stage...

Taking this job yourself is equivalent to making a verbal promise that you can make a net profit of one billion by sitting and doing nothing.

As for the organization, don't worry.

With Gin's memory, even if he now takes Kudo Shinichi's photo to ask him, he may not be able to remember who this kid is.

Therefore, Yu Shirakawa received all the photos with a smile.

Although he also knew that his identity was probably seen by Yuzusaku Kudo.

But as long as he sees through it and doesn't say it out, he will pretend that he hasn't seen it out.

Yuzusaku Kudo nodded at him.

The two are currently in a delicate balance.

——Yusaku Kudo knew that Shirakawa Yu was a member of the group, but he had no evidence, so he could only expose the intelligence and show goodwill, and brought Conan's matter to the table to negotiate.

At the same time, Yu Shirakawa also knew that the other party had probably guessed the truth, but the other party saw through and didn't tell the truth and greeted him with a smile, and he was even quite sincere, so he couldn't break up.

Shirakawa Yu said again at this time:

"Of course, Mr. Yuzuo, because of work reasons, I can only guarantee that your son will not lose his life during this period and will not be involved in a dangerous storm..."

"As for the bigger things about the teacup whirlpool, children playing, scratching, and other things, I don't have the energy and don't have time to keep paying attention to him."

——The implication is that after collecting the money, he can guarantee that Conan will not encounter a catastrophe after the Kudo and his wife go abroad.

But if it is a trivial matter such as being beaten or stabbed, he doesn't want to interfere.

He handles various intelligence transactions every day, grey commissions...

How can I have time to stare at Conan every day?

Fortunately, even with this level of commitment, Yuzusaku Kudo seems to be convinced by Shirakawa Yu and has no complaints at all.

Yu Shirakawa: "…"

Looking at Kudo Yusaku's confident smile, he also admired the other person's big heart.

He can actually trade with a dangerous person from a black party, and still trust himself like this...

This Yuzusaku Kudo really made him a little fascinated.

The suspicious Yu Shirakawa even thought that this was the other party's confusion tactic, but in fact he wanted to arrest him or something.

But even thinking about it, you know that this kind of worry is redundant.

If I could catch myself, I guess Yuzusaku Kudo would have called the police quietly long ago, so I still have to pay the protection fee here?

After yawning, he walked and communicated with Yusuo Kudo for a while, and then left the building.

Yu Shirakawa left his contact information, then took a imported car from Kudo Yusaku and returned to the residence.

When he arrived at his destination, he was about to get off the bus, Yusuo Kudo suddenly asked without warning:

"Mr. Shirakawa, do you have any information about that organization?"

“…?”

Yu Shirakawa raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

OK, ask clearly?

Is this trying to instigate my diligent member of the organization to become Erwuzi?

It does not exist.

Showing an undeniable smile, Yu Shirakawa spoke in a tone that made people feel unspeakable, and said slowly with a smile:

"A huge mountain in a sky, even under the peak, is divided into various geology, with many polluted groundwater or toxins flowing..."

"...But remember that even so, the grass and trees on the mountain can still flourish, and the peaks are still existences that ordinary people need to look up to, Mr. Yuzuo."
