Chapter 424
Although Vermouth felt that it was one thing for Gin to target Usui Saiki, but not for him to actually harm her, Usui Saiki's words inexplicably had a magical power, lingering in her mind even after she hung up the phone.
Ultimately, feeling inexplicably uneasy, Vermouth made a phone call to Vodka.
Vodka answered the phone without warning: "Vermouth? Did you guys get it sorted out over there?"
Vermouth narrowed her eyes: "There's been a problem. Does Gin have any backup plans?"
Vodka had heard a lot of sarcastic remarks about Gin over the past six months, and now that Vermouth's mission had failed and she was asking Gin for help, although it was inappropriate, Vodka was still very happy.
Eager to prove his brother Gin's foresight, Vodka blurted out without thinking, "Yes! My brother planted a lot of bombs at the terminal station. As soon as the train pulls in, they'll blow the whole train to smithereens!"
Vermouth: "…………"
Holy crap! Usaku Saiki was right!
Gin really wants to blow them all to smithereens!
"...I've never heard of such a thing before," Vermouth said through gritted teeth and a smile. "I was in the car too, Gin and you, didn't you think to remind me?"
Vodka was sweating profusely.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah..."
Vodka began to struggle with whether or not to betray Gin—he had indeed asked Gin if he should tell him, but Gin said no… But Gin was right next to him, and if he revealed it, he would be caught in the middle!
That's it! We can think of some excuses, like waiting until Vermouth and Bourbon fail their mission before we talk about it...
But before Vodka could even voice his excuse, Vermouth was already too tired to argue with him about it.
“I’m going to tell Potts.”
Vermouth said coldly, "You two just wait."
Vodka: "...!!!"
That's terrifying! It's absolutely terrifying!
What I'm about to tell Potts is more nerve-wracking than anything I've said before!
Vermouth wouldn't listen to Vodka's explanation. Regardless of Gin's thoughts, she was extremely unhappy about this concealment of crucial information.
The saying "the magistrate is allowed to set fires while the common people are forbidden to light lamps" perfectly describes Vermouth; after all, one only knows the pain when the knife falls on their own body.
After hanging up with Vodka, she immediately called Usakata Saiki.
"Well, did you ask?" Bo Yezhai asked.
Vermouth, her face dark, barely managed to maintain her composure: "Gin planted a bomb at the final stop, intending to blow up everyone on the train."
I thought Usaku Saiki would immediately start yelling, but to my surprise, Usaku Saiki remained strangely silent for several seconds.
Vermouth was puzzled, wondering if the signal was bad: "Potnis?"
Just then, Vermouth heard her own voice coming through the receiver—
"I know this is just an excuse, but it at least shows he doesn't value your life; otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have forgotten to remind you of something so important."
Vermouth: "………………"
After repeating the sentence three times, Bo Yezaki finally spoke with concern: "Well, did you hear me clearly?"
Vermouth gritted her teeth: "We were just having a conversation, and you actually recorded it?"
This actually stepped on her landmine!
People in their line of work have a very high need for confidentiality. They only talk to people about certain topics if they trust them.
Recording her without her permission made her feel terrible.
Usakabe Saiki showed no remorse: "Sorry, my hand just acted out of reflex."
"What, are you reflexively trying to record someone and find something to use against them?" Vermouth rarely spoke to Usaku Saiki with such sarcasm.
Usuha Saiki: "No, it's just that when I heard someone say something good about Gin, I subconsciously wanted to record it..."
Vermouth: "…………"
Okay, that's so Bordenis.
Even if it's something as sensitive as a recording, he wouldn't use it for anything serious. And given Potts's thought process, he probably just uses it as a grudge notebook, without considering whether it's sensitive or not... On the contrary, she's overreacting a bit.
And Vermouth thought about what she had said before the recording... uh, "I heard he just forgot to remind you"...
Vermouth is still a little shocked. If someone were to come up to her right now and say, "Gin just forgot to tell you," she would be lucky if she didn't slap them across the face.
What do you mean by forgetting!
She felt that what she said in the part that was recorded was very true; if she didn't tell you something so important, then she didn't intend to tell you!
During the Shinkansen incident with Usui Saiki, Gin didn't warn him even when the bomb was about to explode!
Taking advantage of a mission to eliminate an organization member you don't like is like domestic violence or infidelity—it's either zero times or countless times!
Vermouth blamed Gin and chose to forgive Usui Saiki, who shared her misery—what did Usui Saiki do wrong? He was just traumatized by Gin and couldn't stand anyone saying anything good about him!
"What are you planning to do now?" Vermouth asked. "If we need to complain to the boss this time, I can go with you."
Usoppei said quietly, "I think it's better if you handle this yourself... Let's not talk about this for now, let's call the police and have them defuse the bomb at the terminal station."
Vermouth thought the suggestion was excellent and promptly changed her phone number to anonymously report it.
Usakabe Saiki wasn't idle either; he made a phone call to Amuro Tooru.
Amuro Tooru is in a bad mood right now.
He was unaware that the Sherry he saw was actually Kaito Kid in disguise, and that the train had escaped in the chaos—the carriage happened to be stopped on a bridge, with the river below, providing enough height for a hang glider to fly away—all he knew was that the Sherry he wanted to save had been blown up right before his eyes.
Of Dr. Elena's two children, only Miyano Akemi, who was rescued by the police, remains... Let's keep this a secret for as long as possible.
Just thinking about the aftermath of Sherry's death gave Amuro Tooru a headache, and he really wasn't in the mood to deal with Usui Saiki at that moment.
But considering the consequences of refusing to answer Usui Saiki's call...
Amuro Tooru hesitated for a moment, then answered, "What is it? I'm busy."
He wanted to chase after the guy who blew up the connection between the carriages when he discovered the bomb and was about to let Shirley out of the last carriage, causing Shirley to be killed.
However, he failed to catch up. Earlier, Amuro Tooru had released a lot of smoke to create the illusion of a fire so that people would leave through the last two carriages, which ironically obscured his own vision and caused him to lose sight of the person.
But since the train hadn't stopped, given the environment and the speed, jumping off would mean either death or serious injury. He could find someone by searching each one.
Unfortunately, the call from Usoppō Saiki was to assign him work.
Usakabe Saiki said, "Stop with your nonsense. Gin has planted a lot of bombs at the terminal station, planning to blow us up when the train arrives. Vermouth called the police first. You need to find a way to talk to the train manager and ask him to stop at a nearby station... Suzuki Jirokichi said he's waiting for Kaito Kid to come and steal things, and insists that the train must go all the way to the terminal station without stopping along the way!"
This is true, but it happened before the last carriage was bombed.
Now there's a suspected fire and an explosion in the last carriage. Suzuki Jirokichi wouldn't be so heartless, but since he wasn't on the train, the response was a bit slow.
But Amuro Tooru had also heard about Suzuki Jirokichi's obsession with Kaito Kid, and the idea of blowing up the entire train was too much like Gin's style, so Amuro Tooru became serious: "I understand. If it's true, I'll find a way to stop the train nearby."
Just to be on the safe side, Amuro Tooru asked Vermouth, only to discover that it wasn't Usui Saiki spreading rumors; Vermouth had actually asked her herself! Furthermore, to stop Suzuki Jirokichi from being so persistent, Vermouth had already anonymously reported it to the police!
So Amuro Tooru, relying on his identity as a detective, went to the train conductor and said that there might be a bomb on the train, that the last carriage had exploded, and that the train should be stopped immediately!
The train conductor was still hesitating because the train belonged to the Suzuki Group, and Suzuki Jirokichi's previous order was to drive directly to the terminal station no matter what happened.
Fortunately, the police arrived at the terminal station and successfully discovered the bomb. Suzuki Jirokichi had just received a call about a suspected fire on the train and was shocked to hear the news. He quickly sent a message to the train to stop at the nearest station.
With the police arriving, the bomb was beyond recovery, so Gin and Vodka had no choice but to evacuate.
Vodka looked worried: "Brother...isn't this a bad thing?"
Gin scoffed, "We just didn't tell them about the backup plan."
“But… Vermouth said she’d tell Potts,” Vodka said worriedly. “I can’t even imagine what he’ll say…”
Gin: "…………"
It wasn't entirely unimaginable; he could roughly guess that it meant he wanted to blow up another member of the organization...
That's pretty much what Gin thought.
However, this time it wasn't Usoppai who filed the complaint, but Vermouth.
Since Vermouth herself had given Gin an excuse to blow up Usaku Saiki, it was easy to imagine how Gin would defend himself when she complained, thus blocking his path.
The email roughly says the following:
Boss! Gin is too arrogant! He never learns his lesson!
The time before last, he wanted to use a mission to kill Potts! Last time, he wanted to take care of Ireland while he was at it! This time, he wants to kill me and Bourbon together!
recidivist!
He clearly planted a bomb at the terminal station, intending to blow the entire train to smithereens, but he wouldn't tell any of it to those of us on board!
Jirokichi Suzuki's order was to drive straight to the final stop without stopping. If I hadn't gotten the information from the vodka and managed to get the bus to stop midway, I would have had to jump off the bus, and I might have been crippled or even killed!
Boss! Gin has ulterior motives!
He can target Potneys, Ireland, me and Bourbon, I can't even imagine who he'll target next!
Regardless of what Gin was thinking, Vermouth's main approach was to use an example that incited both emotion and reason, allowing her to vent her frustrations and feel good.
Gin's failure to inform him beforehand was a mistake, but it wasn't a major issue; he could offer an explanation.
But Jirokichi Suzuki said that no matter what happens, we can't stop and we have to drive to the finish line. He said this in public at the finish line, and any investigation could easily find witnesses.
Under Usaku Saiki's manipulation, everyone thought that Suzuki Jirokichi had changed his mind because he discovered a bomb at the terminal station. No one knew that Suzuki Jirokichi had actually planned to stop the train when he thought there was a fire on it.
People are already on the vehicle. Even if they receive a notification, they can only jump out and escape. Given the speed and the route they take, jumping out would likely result in serious injury or disability, which would be another serious crime.
Adding to Gin's past record, and with Usuiba Saiki's assistance—
[Boss, I heard Gin is planning to blow up the entire bus, including all our organization members, at the final stop? Wasn't he supposed to be reflecting on his actions? Why is he going to pull off something like this? Has he forgotten what you said?]
Boss: "…………!!!"
—Gin isn't just getting a little cocky, he's getting way too cocky!!!

Thin leaf with green tea flavor
.
I don't quite understand what Gin was thinking here in the original work. Vodka asked if he should tell him, and he actually said no... = =|| This isn't a movie... It just shows how skilled he is at messing with his colleagues.
.
Vermouth: I'm annoyed! I'll make Gin even more annoyed than me! This kind of thing, like domestic violence and infidelity, is either zero times or countless times.
Thin Leaf: Does Gin not take the boss seriously?
Boss: ...!!!
