Chapter 80
A Porsche 356A was parked in a quiet and deserted alley. Its black body was conspicuous even under the dim street lights.
Kurokawa Akishige opened the back seat door and sat in.
"It's really strange that Gin would come to me for something other than the mission?" The corners of his mouth curled up, and his blue eyes stared at the man with long silver hair.
Judging from Gin's text message and the previous mission, this message is most likely related to rum.
"The text message is so mysterious. Let me guess why." Kurokawa Akifumi pointed with his index finger, his eyes turning joyful. "Are you planning to change jobs?"
It’s not convenient to say it in text message, so I have to say it in person.
Gin sneered: "If you can't shut your mouth, get out of the car."
Kurokawa Akifumi curled his lips, unconcerned with Gin's sarcastic remarks. "What's wrong with being in an amusement park? It's a place many children dream of. And being an amusement park employee gives you free rides. Where else can you find such a good thing?"
Gin ignored Bacardi's nonsense: "Don't tell me you didn't even notice Rum's latest move."
Kurokawa Akifumi raised the end of his eyebrow, his tone tinged with joking, "What do you mean? A paid vacation?"
Gin snorted and laughed: "You were the one who did the Morishima incident?"
The higher-ups in the organization knew that Rum had promised to help the Boss find a painting, but the painting he brought back turned out to be a fake. During the rescue, the hotel where the painting was stored burned down, leaving them without the painting or even the frame.
Rum, who was already under suspicion, saw his trust plummet. He couldn't even complete a task that was not considered a mission, and was completely in a crisis of ability.
That's why this mission is so urgent.
"What happened to Morishima?" asked Kurokawa Akifusa.
Gin raised his eyelids and his gaze fell on Kurokawa Akiho.
"But I was really shocked at that time. I didn't expect Rum to be there too." Kurokawa Akishige met Gin's gaze and saw some information from it.
He was surprised and asked, "Rum was actually on a mission at that time?"
Gin looked at Kurokawa Akiho indifferently.
Vodka, who was sitting in the driver's seat, kept looking at the rearview mirror.
The mission, the rush for success, the forest island, the treasure, several lines come together to let Kurokawa Akiho push out a message.
Rum's mission failed.
"Rum's mission wasn't completed, was it?" He couldn't hide the schadenfreude that smirked. "Was it the Boss's order? If it wasn't completed, the Boss would be very angry, right?"
Rum has already caused the organization's boss to be wary of it, otherwise the code name Bacardi Rum would not have appeared. If the tasks assigned by the boss are not completed, in addition to fear, it will turn into distrust and ability issues.
In a terrorist organization where strength is paramount, it is obvious how members who fail their mission due to lack of ability will be treated.
So Rum got anxious.
As for Gin's sudden friendship with his colleague, it was a bit intriguing. Could it be that Rum had done something to threaten Gin?
Gin said, "There is good news. Rum reported to the Boss that he saw you on Mori Island. There is also good news. The Boss has given Bourbon a mission."
"That guy Bourbon is a disgusting intelligence officer within the organization."
Gin's tone was calm and indifferent, and his words were to the point, but Kurokawa Akiho still understood what he meant.
"Boss suspects that I did something." Kurokawa Akishige narrowed his eyes.
Vodka looked at the young man's image in the rearview mirror, then looked at Gin's expression, and nervously gripped the steering wheel.
Hey, is it okay to say something like this?
Kurokawa Akishige doesn't care about the suspicions of the boss of an organization full of undercover agents. His goal from the beginning to the end is to poach Gin and make money.
Now we need to add one more thing, to destroy Rum's plan and send Rum to jail.
He recalled that there had not been any suspicious people suddenly appearing around him recently.
"One more thing." Gin added: "Bourbon and rum."
Using Rum's people to investigate him, the person who might destroy Rum's plan, this kind of thing smacks of conspiracy no matter how you think about it.
Kurokawa Akifumi's lips curled up. "You're worthy of being my excellent colleague, bringing me such an important clue. But you didn't call me here just for this, did you?"
"Noah's Ark."
"What is that?" Kurokawa Akifumi asked, pretending not to understand.
Gin glanced at Kurokawa indifferently and tapped his gun with his fingers. "It's an artificial intelligence. The boss really needs it. If Rum gets it first, I don't need to tell you what the consequences will be, right?"
Kurokawa Akiwa understood what Gin meant: "You want me to ruin Rum's new mission?"
"After failing in the last mission, Rum has completely lost the boss's trust." Gin's voice was cold.
The opportunity to completely turn Rum into a discarded pawn is now at hand.
"You're right about that. I do hate Rum, but..." Kurokawa Akiwa paused for a few seconds, his blue eyes darkening. "Boss is already suspicious of me. Why would I do something that could get me in trouble?"
"Even if I do nothing, how much can Rum, having lost Boss's trust once, take away from him?"
It's just a last ditch effort.
"Did Rum offend you?"
Kurokawa Akishige chuckled as he spoke, making it clear that Gin wanted to use him as a pawn.
This is not right. If he can dig Gin out, then he is one of us. If he can't dig him out, then he is definitely a dangerous person.
Judging from the fact that he could feed Kudo Shinichi's test subject without hesitation in the amusement park and even let him deal with the corpse, this guy would definitely not be kind enough to help him on the grounds that he has a grudge against Rum.
Although Kurokawa Akiho is too lazy to use his brain, it doesn't mean he is stupid.
Unless rum causes a lot of trouble for gin.
"The rum is for you, and Noah's Ark is mine," said Gin.
Kurokawa Akiwa's eyes twitched slightly: "You want to use Noah's Ark to please the boss?"
Gin sneered, his eyes seemed to be asking him what stupid thing he was doing.
Kurokawa Akiho raised his eyebrows, interest reflected in his eyes.
People immersed in darkness always carry some weight with them.
I originally thought it would be difficult to poach Gin, but now it seems simple.
"Artificial intelligence," Kurokawa Akishige said, his tone drawn out. "Sounds more interesting than rum. I want to see what it looks like."
"But isn't it too cunning to let me do the work alone?" Kurokawa Akifumi said with a tone of complaint.
He has no shortage of information, so don't think he can get what he wants without doing anything.
Gin directly threw a file bag to Kurokawa Akiho.
Kurokawa Akishige took the brown paper bag and took out the documents inside.
When she saw the first picture in the information clearly, her long eyelashes drooped slightly.
The person in the picture has golden brown hair, dark skin, and familiar purple-gray eyes.
Toru Amuro.
Kurokawa Akiwa asked calmly, "What is this?"
"Bourbon." Gin said simply and clearly.
ha?
Kurokawa Akishige's eyebrows moved slightly, and after a brief moment of shock, he tried hard to suppress the curve of his mouth.
There is such a good thing?
This was such a coincidence. He was still worrying about how to confirm without making any noise whether Toru Amuro was an undercover agent in the Black Organization, but then Gin came to him with the information.
Gin is indeed the employee he has his eyes on.
There is more than one photo. There is an even more important photo at the back.
Under the night sky, the blond and honey-skinned man held the shorter black-haired young man in his arms, lowered his head slightly, and from the angle of the camera, they were as intimate as if they were kissing. Amuro Toru's neat clothes were wrinkled by the black-haired young man, and the eager and ambiguous feeling could be clearly felt through the photo.
Kurokawa Akishi's pupils shrank slightly, and he paused in his flipping movements, his fingertips rubbed a corner of the photo unnaturally.
Is this the day of team building???
【I rely on it, I rely on it, I rely on it!!】
[Sister Bei, you are my God!!!]
[As expected of Sister Bei, her candid shots are so good, how can you tell it was a borrowed shot?]
[When the official spoilers came out, I really thought they were having an affair behind our backs.]
[The animation is so detailed, I’m taking screenshots like crazy!]
They kissed! I saw it! (Going crazy)
The barrage of comments suddenly increased, and excited characters flashed by wildly.
Kurokawa Akiwa's eyes flashed, and his hand holding the photo tightened. The vague strange feeling in his heart became more and more intense as the barrage of comments increased.
The photo was obviously taken with a borrowed camera, but my heartbeat was gradually increasing.
He secretly calmed himself down, and with interest in his tone, he flipped through the photos: "This photo is really great. I must thank this mysterious lady."
Gin said, "It seems you have already thought about what to do next."
Kurokawa Akishige put the photos and information into a file bag. In addition to the photos and information, there was also a gold-embossed invitation letter in the folder.
An invitation to view the exhibition from Noah's Ark.
He stretched his arms and said, "I guess so. I was thinking of taking a break, but now it seems I need to take action."
Before getting out of the car, Kurokawa Akifumi paused, turned around and smiled at Gin in the car: "By the way, you're always welcome at the amusement park, Gin."
He raised the briefcase in his hand and said in an unclear voice, "Consider it a thank you for this gift."
The car door was closed, and the retro Porsche 356A started slowly and drove out of Kurokawa Akishige's sight.
After confirming that he could not be seen in the rearview mirror, Kurokawa Akiho unconsciously touched his ears which were a little hot.
He fanned himself with the papers and muttered as he walked, "Why has the weather suddenly become so hot lately?"
The lights in the alley were dim, and the night gradually covered the sunset.
On the other side of the road around the corner, there was the sound of frantic running footsteps.
Conan Edogawa recognized the Porsche 356A at a glance, but before he could catch up, the car had already driven away from him. Then in the alley where the car drove out, he saw Kurokawa Akiwa walking towards him.
His eyes fell on the file bag in Kurokawa Akiho's hand, and his breathing suddenly stopped.
Could it be that——?
