Chapter 17: The Unexpected Arrival of Darkness
Toru Amuro returned to the car, and estimated that Yayoi Ando would not be able to come out for two or three hours, so he began to text his subordinate in the public security department, Yuya Kazami, "All the information about Yayoi Ando, please send it to me, no matter if he is a suspect in the case or a passerby, as long as he has appeared, please send it to me. This person is very dangerous, you must pay attention." Yayoi Ando did not have any dangerous records in the public security department, but this did not mean that Yayoi Ando did not appear near the case. Gin's sudden visit must prove that Yayoi Ando did something illegal, and then was caught by Gin. So it's not that Yayoi Ando did not commit a crime, but that the other party committed a crime, and they, the public security, don't know it yet!
Amuro Toru recalled the information Conan told him about Yayoi Ando. He was a very ordinary college student. The only problem was that he was suspected of killing Professor Endo. But even if he really killed Professor Endo, it was just an act of revenge for the murder of his sister, which was completely understandable. This and the Yayoi Ando he saw now were two different people. At least he didn't think that a college student would be so indifferent when seeing an underage girl being beaten and killed, and even vaguely happy.
Now Yayoi Andong looks different from the previous photos, and her personality is also different from before. Toru Amuro highly suspects that Yayoi Andong may have been replaced. This identity has no relatives and friends, and the person himself is extremely withdrawn. Apart from the possibility of being caught by the police, it is still an excellent choice for identity replacement. It is not ruled out that Yayoi Andong was involved in the murder case after the other party had made preparations, or that the other party was confident that he could settle the case. After all, Yayoi Andong's case was not filed in the end due to various reasons, which actually did not affect the use of the identity.
After waiting for only ten seconds, Kazami replied to Toru Amuro's text message. Kazami said that they were already collecting information and expected to submit it to Toru Amuro the next day. He also reported that there were surveillance cameras, listening devices, and locators as soon as they entered Anton Yayoi's house, which showed that the other party was under strict surveillance and control. At present, they are still exploring carefully, but no other contraband has been found.
Toru Amuro sent back a text message asking him to be careful, and then continued to think. If these things were placed by the current "Anton Yayoi", the purpose was to monitor Anton Yayoi's behavior and make a better replacement. Then the current "Anton Yayoi" is a very dangerous criminal. If these things were placed by the organization, then there is a high possibility that Anton Yayoi was coerced. The reason he didn't react just now might be that he was intimidated by Gin and the others and didn't dare to show his true reaction. But can an ordinary college student really be this calm? Is the current Anton Yayoi really the same Anton Yayoi he has always been? Bourbon, who was lost in thought, suddenly heard the sound of a car door opening slightly. He raised his hand reflexively and fired a quick shot.
As he felt the gun in his hand jam, Bourbon realized that the person coming was Yayoi Andong. Fortunately, he followed the police's instructions and turned off the safety after getting in the car, otherwise Yayoi Andong might have been seriously injured by him. He couldn't explain to Gin why a good person almost died in his hands.
"Sorry, I'm thinking about something." Bourbon didn't expect Anton Yayoi to come so soon. He was not mentally prepared at all, so he fired a shot as soon as he heard the sound.
Anton Yayoi didn't care. The gun wouldn't hit his soul anyway. He had no expression on his face and continued to get into the car without even a pause: "It's solved. We can go now."
Unexpectedly, the other party would react like this. After Bourbon put down his gun, he secretly looked at Anton Yayoi in surprise. Was this man expressionless or was he so mentally ill? But he wisely chose not to ask questions, and did not even show obvious expression. He saw Anton Yayoi obediently fasten his seat belt, and thought of the bad expression he had just seen when he got out of the car, plus Vodka drove slower than usual. Amuro Toru asked tentatively: "Do you get carsick?"
Because of the energy intake, his soul became stronger and his body's rejection became more severe. He did feel a little dizzy and nauseous. However, Yayoi Ando searched for information first, then reviewed the memory of Shinzo Endo and "Yayoi Ando" going out, and chose to deny: "No, I ate too much cake today and I feel a little nauseous."
Bourbon thought, let's go back and check if Anton Yayoi has motion sickness, but he said, "Do you like cake?"
Anton Yayoi felt that he didn't like it either, but he hadn't eaten the cake for several times, and it was still on the cabinet. He didn't know if he could eat it when he got out of the base. He thought about it and looked at Bourbon seriously: "Sugar is beneficial to the secretion of dopamine in the body, and it can also increase insulin and reduce the concentration of tyrosine and phenylalanine." He paused for two seconds and then said: "If it's a human, everyone should like it." Because this is a normal human physiological reaction, everyone should like sugar, and everyone should like desserts.
Bourbon: ...Okay, I get it, you like it. People who don't like desserts are not human in your eyes.
"If you like, I can bring it to you when I'm doing a mission with you. What flavor do you like?" Bourbon, who works at Polo Cafe, has no shortage of cakes. He can easily bring two cakes to improve Anton Yayoi's favor.
Anton Yayoi tilted his head to look at Bourbon in confusion, then shook his head and said, "I am only responsible for collecting bodies, I don't team up with others to go on missions. If you are free to wait for me to collect the bodies, why don't you do it yourself?"
Bourbon, who had just heard about this, raised his eyebrows and looked at Anton Yayoi in surprise, "You don't want to go on the mission? Does Gin agree?" If it was just a corpse collector, why did Gin go to so much trouble to threaten and force him? This kind of work is only done by small-time people who have no chance of getting ahead. Whenever they are assigned to this kind of cleaning work, newcomers will doubt whether they have done something wrong. I didn't expect to meet someone who took the initiative to ask for this kind of work.
"I don't charge money, I work for free, what else can he disagree with?" Anton Yayoi thought, how can there be a good thing that gives food and money to spend, it would be great if he could get just one of these good things. For the organization, there is nothing wrong with taking advantage of a laborer for free.
Working for nothing? Was this the result of the negotiation between Anton Yayoi and the organization, or was it his original purpose? However, if it was just collecting corpses, the danger level would indeed be much lower. The premise is that what Anton Yayoi said was true, and the organization would not force him to do other work. Even if he believed that Anton Yayoi really did not want to kill people and only wanted to collect corpses, he would not believe that the top killer of the organization would go to such great lengths just to find someone to collect corpses.
"What about today?" Bourbon pretended to hesitate and asked, "Didn't you just go on a mission with Gin and kill the target?"
"They happened to be at my house at the time, Gin received a mission, and I was going to collect the bodies for this mission, so why not go together?" Anton Yayoi thought Bourbon's focus was on "going on a mission together", but in fact Bourbon's focus was "Didn't you say you wouldn't kill anyone, but in the end you killed someone."
However, Anton Yayoi has already explained it just now. It seems very strange to question why Anton Yayoi killed people at this time. He doesn't seem like a member of the Black Organization at all.
Bourbon could only bring up another topic. He asked casually, "Is this your first time killing someone? You did a good job. I thought you would miss the target." Appropriate praise is conducive to bringing the two closer together, especially since they are considered as seniors and juniors, superiors and subordinates. The younger generation who are in high spirits often speak the truth that they don't want to say because they are too proud of themselves. He often does this kind of thing, but this time he is mentally prepared to fail on Andong Yayoi. After all, the other party's psychological quality is comparable to that of specially trained military talents.
"First time killing someone?" Anton Yayoi hesitated. He waited until the lifeline ended before shooting, and did not cut off the other person's lifeline. "Does this count as murder? Oh, yes, it seems to be murder." After all, from a human perspective, they cannot see the lifeline, so of course he who shot is considered murder. Otherwise, if it is counted according to the lifeline, all murderers are not murderers. They just kill people under the guidance of fate. If this truth is exposed, it will be no less than a comprehensive blow to the spiritual level for humans who cannot see the lifeline.
Bourbon listened to Anton Yayoi start to mutter in a low voice, then fell into a deep silence, and finally looked up and answered seriously, "It's not the first time I've killed someone."
Although he harvested souls according to the lifeline, from the human perspective, he was the one who killed people. Moreover, in the original world, he had cut the lifeline of others before. In every sense, today was not the first time he killed someone.
Bourbon didn't say anything about this. Everyone who joined the organization had already killed several people. Instead, he was very concerned about what Anton Yayoi had whispered before. The other party actually doubted today's killing and thought that he didn't count as murder. If this didn't count as murder, then what counted as murder? Anton Yayoi's mental condition might have some problems. Write this down and check it out when you go back.
Bourbon drove very slowly, using the excuse that he was afraid that Anton Yayoi might get carsick, and got a lot of questions out of him along the way. During this time, Bourbon discovered that Anton Yayoi himself was not aggressive at all, and his temperament could even be described as gentle and docile. He basically answered every question, and even if he couldn't answer, he would try hard to think for a long time, highlighting his well-behaved appearance. He was completely different from the cold and murderous look just now. Ignoring the content of the conversation, he was now just a naive and stupid college student.
Moreover, he did not make any defensive moves, sat casually, and obviously did not carry any weapons. Even though his gun was within his reach, he did not show the slightest vigilance or uneasiness, and never even paid attention to the position of the gun. An ordinary person without any combat skills, at least at the moment, there seems to be no problem. The only problem is that Gin cares about him very much, and his judgment on the act of killing is different from that of ordinary people. There must be a reason why Gin suddenly cares about Anton Yayoi, but the reason is not clear yet.
