Chekhov MacGuffin is right about james, every body suspects him, agasa, why would he destroy a franchise org. in crime (50 years ) the boss, by vermouths reactions is not worried for conan because he does not see him as a clever boy ( and he most likely met him but never saw his potential and left him as it is)
Conan just calls them the black org, that is not even there name
And a org existing 50 years how old do you think the boss is ( james 52years, if he was a crime lord with 2 years )
The real boss is dead and someone replaced him ( thats what vermouth says raising the dead in itakuras diary, and ais dad inventing a that does so but never did ( ep 312 )
Oops
forgot to mention or is alive for all these years, which is unbelievable
