Chapter 57

Before Edogawa Conan could recover from his surprise, he found Kurokawa Akiho picked up the whole bottle of rum.

Edogawa Conan opened his eyes wide, thinking that Kurokawa Akimoto was going to do the same thing as before, so he hurriedly stopped him, his panicked voice tinged with childishness: "That principal!"

"Hmm?" Kurokawa Akiwa turned and looked at Edogawa Conan in confusion: "What's wrong?"

The bottle of dark rum was shaken in Kurokawa Akiho's hand, the strong liquid hit the bottle, and the rich aroma of the wine vaguely surrounded the room.

He casually brushed the bottom of the rum, picked out the small black object that was stuck to the bottle and fused with it, and observed the swaying liquor in the bottle through the light.

Edogawa Conan took a deep breath and said, "Director, do you want to throw away this bottle of wine too? It might be a bad idea. It might contain some very important information."

"Just like in the movies, for example, the murderer poisoned the wine or something." Conan Edogawa laughed dryly.

Kurokawa Akiho shook the bottle and pretended to think, "Well..."

"Even if you want to pour it out, can you let me see it first? I have never seen this type of wine before. It looks very old." Edogawa Conan concealed his inner thoughts, showed a harmless smile, raised his head and looked at Kurokawa Akifusa obediently.

The note left by Rum mentioned the word "friend". Could it be for Mr. Amuro?

Kurokawa Akiho placed the sealed bottle of dark rum in front of Edogawa Conan, watched him pick up the bottle, and slowly spoke.

"Conan is interested in Rum?"

Conan Edogawa smiled and touched his head: "Because Uncle Maori likes drinking very much, maybe he has become interested in this after staying here for a long time."

Kurokawa Akishige's voice slowly dragged out the last syllable: "So that's how it is."

"Then does Conan know the composition of rum?" asked Kurokawa Akishige.

Edogawa Conan: "It's a distilled liquor made from the fermented sugar juice squeezed from sugarcane."

"That's right. Rum is divided into gold rum, white rum, and dark rum. If Conan really wants to try it, I suggest you try Bacardi white rum instead of the dark rum you have, which is only suitable for flavoring."

"What...?" Edogawa Conan's eyes suddenly shrank, and his mind was surrounded by the Bacardi white rum that Kurokawa Akiho mentioned.

His heartbeat quickened for two seconds, and he controlled his expression: "Why?"

Kurokawa Akifumi patiently explained, "Aside from gold rum, white rum has a cleaner, sweeter taste, making it the perfect base liquor."

"As for the dark rum," Kurokawa Akishige sneered, not wanting to elaborate on it. "The seasoning is superfluous."

After saying that, Kurokawa Akiho crushed the eavesdropping device hidden behind him.

Edogawa Conan blinked and slowly realized that Kurokawa Akiho seemed to be really discussing rum with him.

Bacardi rum was even mentioned.

Conan Edogawa unconsciously recalled some of the circumstances when he first got the information about Bacardi.

Bacardi and Rum monitor and check each other.

Is this drink for Bacardi? Bacardi is also in this hotel?

"Conan, aren't you going to take this to Mr. Amuro?" Kurokawa Akishige took the initiative to interrupt Conan Edogawa's thoughts.

After Edogawa Conan's train of thought was interrupted, his eyes were stunned for a few seconds: "Oh, right, then I will go find Amuro brother now."

After saying that, Edogawa Conan ran out with the wine glass in his arms, and smiled at Kurokawa Akiwa before leaving.

When Kurokawa Akiho turned his head, he found that Edogawa Conan had taken the note on the table without him noticing.

*

Conan Edogawa avoided the crowd and shared information with Toru Amuro. He handed the thing in his hand to Toru Amuro.

"The director and I found an opened bottle of rum and a note."

Toru Amuro's face darkened. He took the note handed to him by Conan Edogawa and found that it was indeed Rum's handwriting.

[To my friends who have come from afar.]

There was only one person left that Rum could call his friend.

Bacardi.

Although they are friends, they are actually outright enemies. Eighty percent of Rum's invisible embarrassment in the organization comes from Bacardi.

"Mr. Amuro." Edogawa Conan called out softly: "Is this friend referring to you?"

"Or are there other members of the Black Organization here besides you?"

Edogawa Conan's voice sounded a little urgent. Every time something related to the Black Organization happened, he would become more anxious.

Especially when he saw Amuro Toru's serious expression, he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.

Amuro Toru put the note away and said solemnly, "Conan, I know that with your intelligence, no matter what I answer today, you will be able to find the answer from it."

"But this matter is too dangerous for you at the moment."

Conan Edogawa, who was about to share information but lost the clue, said: "Mr. Amuro is so cunning!"

"What kind of wine did you find?" asked Toru Amuro.

Conan Edogawa stared at Toru Amuro with half-moon eyes, obviously beginning to distrust him.

Amuro Toru chuckled and said, "Don't be so vigilant, Conan. I won't take the wine away."

Edogawa Conan sighed: "Judging from the bottle of wine, it should be the dark rum in the basement."

Dark rum?

There is nothing wrong with Amuro Toru having drooping eyelashes.

It is indeed Bacardi.

Edogawa Conan keenly noticed something from Amuro Toru's expression, and his guess became more and more intense: "It's Bajia——"

The lights in the corridor suddenly went out, and in the blink of an eye the entire hotel became pitch black, with no one being able to see one's hand in front of one's face. The storm roared and slammed against the windows, making a harsh sound. Lightning flashed across the thundercloud-covered sky, briefly bringing a ray of light into the room.

"Mr. Bendo, why did the power suddenly go out?"

Kogoro Mouri's shout came from not far away, followed by Daisuke Hondo's apology.

"Maybe the hotel's wiring was burned out by lightning. I'll go to the main power room to check. I'm really sorry, Mr. Maori."

The sound of running footsteps was heard, and Hondo Daisuke's voice became farther and farther away, as if he had gone to repair the circuit.

Edogawa Conan's eyebrows moved, and he heard other sounds besides Hondo Daisuke's footsteps.

Someone is walking in Hondo Daisuke's footsteps.

Why?

"Sonoko--!" It was Ran Mouri's scream.

Xiaolan is in danger? !

Edogawa Conan's eyes suddenly became sharp. He took out the flashlight on his mobile phone and rushed to the location where the sound came from.

The light from the mobile phone's flashlight was dim, and in front of him an even more dazzling white light flashed straight into his eyes.

Edogawa Conan's eyes were subconsciously closed by the flash, and his ears did not miss any slight sound.

Someone rushed towards him quickly, and his back was pushed by a huge force, causing him to fall into the basement passage without any preparation.

Before the passage door closed, Edogawa Conan heard two whispered conversations.

"Isn't this too hasty?"

"It's almost dawn, and I don't have time."

*

The system's notification bar was lit for a long time. When Kurokawa Akimoto clicked it, he found that it was a notification about the progress of the new park construction.

Kurokawa Akishige was a little surprised when he clicked on the check button. When the system interface was expanded, the light completely covered the darkness, so that he didn't even notice that the power was out around him.

From the time he left the amusement park to now, the construction progress of the new park has been pushed up from 0% to 40%, which is as fast as a paid construction team.

The text message from Morofushi Kagemitsu mentioned Gin's work ability, which was much higher than he expected.

While expressing his admiration for the model worker, Kurokawa Akishige was thinking about finding a way to recruit this person.

He firmly believes that there are no employees who cannot be poached, only capitalists who are not hardworking and are stingy.

Since drawing the temporary employee, Akiho Kurokawa has added a separate interface for temporary employees in his employee management column.

The basic information of temporary employees can be seen from the interface.

After working all day, Gin's mood bar was still a green smiley face.

The green smiling face in the emotion bar represents how happy and relaxed he is working in the amusement park.

In contrast, the mood bars of other temporary employees have turned into yellow and red low-mood and depressed figures.

Especially vodka, its red color is so eye-catching that it is impossible to ignore it.

Kurokawa Akiho sighed. Apart from Gin, there was no surprise at all. How could such a Black Organization retain the hardworking model worker he had his eyes on?

He scrolled down and noticed a temporary employee who was also a green smiley-faced man.

Shuichi Akai.

He is the former undercover agent sent by the FBI into the Black Organization.

Kurokawa Akiho carefully looked through his information and raised his eyebrows as he read through it.

The FBI's trump card seems a little difficult to dig out.

Join the watch list first.

He replied to Zhu Fujingguang and added one more person to the observation list.

Morofushi Kagemitsu, who was far away at the amusement park construction site, looked at the latest added staff and patted the shoulder of Akai Shuichi, who wanted to find him to reminisce, with a complicated expression.

Akai Shuichi, wearing a yellow construction hat, was confused and called out to Morobushi Kagemitsu: "Scotland."

As soon as he finished speaking, Akai Shuichi retracted the name he had just addressed him: "Should I call you Morifushi Kagemitsu now?"

Zhu Fushiki Jingguang looked sideways at Akai Shuichi and smiled: "Nice to see you again, Lei."

Akai Shuichi laughed: "I am no longer in the organization."

The two stood not far from the rest area and talked.

Chianti looked at their backs and asked the person next to him puzzledly, "What are those two traitors whispering about?"

Kiel found the water cup with her name on it, and after hearing what Chianti said, she was too tired to respond and sat far away from her.

Vermouth had scolded her before, saying that Gin's eyes could kill, and that there was still vodka left, so she didn't ask. She nudged Cohen.

Cohen is pouring water like crazy.

Chianti tutted in dissatisfaction, feeling that none of his teammates were useful.

When she gets out, she will definitely tell Boss what's going on here.

After sending the text message, Kurokawa Akishige turned off the system. When he looked up, he found that the surroundings were pitch black. The branches outside the window were blown by the storm, and the dark branches swayed back and forth like ghosts.

The phone rang at this moment.

The sudden voice made Kurokawa Akiho shudder. He looked at the incoming call indicator and saw it was Amuro Toru.

"Hello, Mr. Amuro?"

Amuro Toru said calmly, "Mr. Kurokawa's hotel's wiring is burnt out, and the murderer of Miss Fuyukawa is still active. Please be careful."

"Okay, I'll pay attention." Kurokawa Akishige replied, and his peripheral vision caught a flash of light in the darkness.

His eyes flashed, and he dodged sideways to avoid the dagger that was glowing white in the darkness.

Seeing that his attack missed, the man in the dark turned around and ran away with swift movements.

Kurokawa Akishi's eyes darkened and he quickly chased after him.

The other party ran very fast and was familiar with the road in the dark. In contrast, Kurokawa Akiho suffered a lot because he was not familiar with the environment.

When he reached the corner, a new task prompt suddenly appeared in the system's message bar.

[As an excellent headmaster, you should be able to stand on your own in this chaotic world of red and black. Please find the pirate's treasure and build up your initial reputation in the red team!

Mission: Find the pirate's treasure.

Mission Reward: Red Team Reputation +10.]

The sudden pop-up window of the system made Kurokawa Akishige's eyes blurry. His eyes, which had barely adapted to the darkness, were blinded by a flash of white light, which made him squint. Then he stepped on empty air and fell into the passage leading to the basement again.

Before fainting, Kurokawa Akiwa cursed: "Could you please not pop up the quest box at this critical moment?!"

[Players please stay calm. All quests in this game will appear at the most appropriate time.]
