Detective Conan's Mastermind: They're All My Pawns

This book is addictive, so enjoy!

My name is Lian Jingu Temple, an information broker. On a rainy night, I walked into the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department with a weapons list from the Black Organization and walked out with the title of “Special Liaison Consultant.” I don't wear a police uniform or work at the station, but I'm more useful than any cop.

I used my sister's last words to break through Ai Haibara's defenses and make her my personal scientist. I helped Miwako Sato find her father's killer, earning her willing use of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's authority on my behalf. When Yukiko Kudo's marriage fell apart, I offered her a shoulder to lean on and made her my eyes inside the FBI. I traded leverage with Vermouth, making her my inside contact deep within the Organization.

They thought they were hunters, but they were prey. They thought they were prey, but they were pawns. And I was the one moving the pieces.

When Shinichi Kudo finally uncovered the truth, he realized in despair that his mother, his childhood friend, and his best partner had all taken my side. “Do you have proof?” He fell silent. “Without proof, it's slander.”

This isn't a battle between good and evil. It's one man's total control over the world. The Organization has fallen, but my empire is only just beginning.
