Another Encounter with the Black Organization

Conan considers those that he has met that were involved with the black organization.
Gin, Vodka, Miyano Akemi (Haibara's sister), Tequila (died in an explosion at a game event), Pisco (killed by Gin), Numabuchi Kiichiro (He escaped from the syndicates secret laboratories and was arrested by the police in an unrelated case. Conan met him twice. Once at a case in Osaka with Hattori (Vol.19). And again when he escaped from the police in an on-site investigation(Vol.35). The junior detective league just happened to run into him in the woods in Gunma while looking for Mitsuhiko. The Syndicate took an interest in Numabuchi's agility. They wanted to train him to be an assassin. But he disappointed them so his medical information was sent to Haibara so he could be used as a guinea pig for the drug. But he ran before they tested it on him. He only knew of the very outer workings of the syndicate so there was never a threat that he might talk to the police.) . And lastly, Haibara Ai, code name Sherry. Pisco called Haibara "Shiho" so that with her sister's name means her real name is probably Miyano Shiho.

The men in black have acquired huge amounts of money through high level assassinations, they've developed strange new drugs, and they seem interested in recruiting skilled computer programmers.

As Conan thinks about that, that's when Ran takes a call from a client for Kogoro. Some game developers want to track down a missing programmer. They track him down to a hotel room but he's already dead. Because it seems that the programmer had contact with Tequila, Conan wants to find out more about him. He acquires his digital diary and plans to read it at Agasa's. But while walking home with Ran, they encounter Akai Shuichi. That's when Ran tells Conan about when they met in New York and that he was wearing a jacket with FBI on it.

After reading the programmer's diary Conan and Agasa find out that he was being pressured to finish some secret program. But he said he wouldn't do it for the sake of humanity. They find out that he left the program and money at his vacation home. Then he accepted the jobs from the game companies in an attempt to get money to flee by his dead line. At the end of the journal it said that the woman he talked to on the phone said "you could say we're of both god and the devil since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time."

Conan receives a new gadget from Agasa. A belt that can instantly produce a soccer ball for Conan to kick with his super shoes.

Conan and Agasa go to the vacation home to get the software and to check out an email that the black organization is supposed to send to him later that night.

They fail to open the email because of a password, and then they get a call from Vodka. Conan talks to him on the phone in the programmer's voice. They are to meet at the lowest level of Kenbashi station at 4 AM.

Conan tapes the disk with the software in the specified locker in an attempt to get Vodka's finger prints on the tape. He also put a transmitter on the inside of the case. But Gin shows up and identifies all those things and realizes (Conan, who they think is the programmer) must still be in the station. They look for him but they don't look where he's hiding, in one of the lockers, since they expect an adult who wouldn't be able to fit there.

So, Conan is able to escape.
