Red Party
Tang Lichu himself had no objection to the fact that killing was necessary to save Ma Jia's life.
As a person who has observed this world from a higher dimension, he knows very well that even if he is not there, after Conan appears, ordinary people in this world will still be killed or commit crimes for various strange reasons - after all, it is a mystery comic.
Besides, he can entrust the case to someone else, so he doesn't need to kill anyone with his own hands.
But what surprised him a little was that his vest Weimar seemed to express some uneasiness about this.
The mission this time is not complicated. It is nothing more than killing a senior corporate executive who once cooperated with the organization but wanted to betray the organization and report it to the police.
Weimar read the information carefully. The senior management of this company had no major involvement with the organization and was just accidentally involved in this matter.
A feeling of self-loathing and guilt gripped his heart tightly, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. He felt the blood in his body suddenly turn cold, and even his fingertips felt cold.
This is really weird. He is clearly a member of an organization. As a member of an organization, shouldn't he be cold-blooded? Weimar frowned slightly, not understanding the complex emotions in his heart.
The assassin with long silver hair beside him noticed his abnormality and snorted coldly: "What? You can't bear to do it?"
"..." Weimar blinked, "I don't know."
He secretly complained that Gin had such sharp observation skills, so why did he allow Conan to find clues about the organization time and time again?
...I always feel that netizens’ theory about Hongqin is not without reason.
Gin was obviously very surprised by his answer. He lowered his eyes and said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
The green eyes were fixed on Weimar, and the silver-haired member of the organization's slender hands had begun to gently stroke the gun in front of him, as if he was ready to kill the indigo-eyed young man in front of him at any time.
"Hmm?" The young man was a little confused by Gin's reaction. He asked in a questioning tone, "But I am also a human being. In my view, it is normal for humans to have empathy for their own kind?"
"..." For some reason, Gin's hand left the gun, "Weima, take care of yourself. Don't let your kindness affect the organization's mission."
After the brief conversation, the atmosphere in the car became even more tense. Gin stopped looking at Weimar and turned his head to glance out the window, then lit a cigarette.
A strong smell filled the car, and Weimar suddenly felt a strong urge to stop the killer in front of him.
"I don't like the smell of cigarettes," he said. "Can I not smoke?"
Vodka, the clerk who had been sitting silently in the driver's seat and driving quietly, frowned.
He wanted to scold this ignorant new code member, but since the big brother next to him didn't say anything, he didn't say anything either.
Gin looked at him without saying anything, then lowered his eyes as if he was thinking or recalling something.
Weimar sat upright in the back seat, with most of his body covered by shadows, but his eyes were particularly bright in the darkness. Normally, indigo eyes would only make his eyes look dull, but that was not the case with Weimar.
Gin seemed to see the boy in the laboratory in the past, with the same appearance, slightly immature face and voice. He paused and put out the cigarette.
Weimar held out his hand and smiled, "Want a mint?"
"..." Gin chuckled with an ambiguous meaning, but did not refuse. He took it and casually stuffed the round pressed candy into his windbreaker pocket.
There was still some time before reaching the destination, so Tang Lichu chose to log out of Weimar's body. He could hand over the task to the APP.
When he opened his eyes in his detective agency, the sky had turned into the same indigo color as Weimar's eyes.
As usual, he logged into Tsukizono Akiko's account again to take a look, but to his surprise, the laptop in front of him was not the familiar one.
Tsukizono Akiko finally put down the pile of work at hand and planned to go out and take a look?
He - or rather she - looked around and found herself in a café.
Tsukizono Akiko was sitting on the second floor of a cafe. There were many people around her, some whispering or sitting quietly doing their own things. She blended in quite naturally.
She looked around carefully and felt something was wrong. The guy on the right had been typing away on the keyboard for a long time, but the page didn't move at all. Could the signs of disguise be any more obvious?
She became alert, thinking that this place must be unusual. Was it a trap?
The light was bright, and just as Tsukizono Akiko was about to recall her memory, she heard the chair in front of her being pulled away, making a noise as it rubbed against the floor.
A man wearing glasses and with ordinary appearance sat down in front of her and said familiarly, "Long time no see, Mingzi."
Tsukizono Akiko quickly searched for information deep in her memory, and finally dug out the name of the person in front of her from the corner of her mind - Kazami Yuya.
It's the childhood dyeing of this vest...
Looking at the other person's haggard expression, the dark circles under his eyes, and his straight back, Tsukizono Akiko suddenly felt that she had finally found someone who shared the same suffering as her.
——You are a corporate slave too!
Feeling the joy and relief gushing out of Ma Jia's heart, Tang Lichu felt a little complicated. As a high school student, he suddenly felt sympathy for the future he might have after returning to the real world.
"Long time no see, Yuya." Tsukizono Akiko took a sip of coffee, blinked her eyes which were dry from staying up late to program on the computer, and searched her mind for memories, trying to understand why she was here.
Tang Lichu had seen Yueyuan Mingzi's memories before. She was originally an ordinary programmer in a company. Due to the request of her boss, she set up an encryption program. Unexpectedly, she ran into members of the organization who were cracking the program.
The conscientious and hardworking employee Akiko Tsukizono couldn't help but start a fight with the member of the organization. After four hours of fighting without any result, she was arrested by the organization.
...Later she found out that the member of the organization who was equally powerful as her was the core member codenamed Vodka.
Is this all your organization is about?
So naturally, Tsukizono Akiko joined the organization, and after investigation, she was given a code name and became a member of the organization. Of course, she was not yet a core member.
The code name is just a low-alcohol cocktail - Mint Julep.
And if Tang Lichu remembers correctly, it seems that Feng Jianyu is a subordinate of the red side undercover Bourbon?
Why would a red player meet Tsukizono Akiko, a black player?
But this place is suspicious - could it be some kind of base of the Red Police Department's Public Security Bureau?
Tsukizono Akiko felt it and found that there seemed to be no one looking at her with any malicious intent.
In general, other things cannot be confirmed, but it seems that there is no surveillance of her by members of the organization now?
In any case, first determine why you are here.
Tsukizono Akiko searched her memory, but all she could remember was that she inexplicably received a message from an unfamiliar number. The other party claimed that he was her childhood friend whom she had not seen for many years, and asked her out for a date.
Could it be that Bourbon noticed her?
Yueyuan Mingzi switched back to Tang Lichu's body with horror and took a look at her cell phone, and sure enough, it was as expected.
A new prompt box popped up, and he found that Bourbon's attention to him had reached 15%.
He quickly switched back to Tsukizono Akiko's body and found that Kazami Yuya had called him many times with a worried look on his face.
Tsukizono Akiko blinked and realized something - there seemed to be a slight delay in the system hosting.
It seems that I can't just casually change my vest during conversations in the future, she secretly made a note of it.
"Are you really Yuya?" she asked directly, "I hope you can prove it."
Yuya Kazami looked tense for a moment, then seemed to have received some instructions before he spoke: "I know you have two younger brothers, and your second brother disappeared several years ago."
"Others can find out too." Tsukizono Akiko acted unmoved.
"My third brother, Tsukizono Ryo, has a pen pal named Kuroba Kaito. You often complain that his tone sounds like a playboy who likes to flirt with people."
Tsukizono Akiko also had an impression of this in her memory. She was just asking for show, so she nodded to show that she trusted the other party.
Speaking of which, Yuya Kazami's tense expression is a bit suspicious. Could it be that Bourbon is listening...?
Tsukizono Akiko thought about the task released by the APP and decided to pretend that she didn't know about it and take this opportunity to reveal more information.
——Never mind, there’s nothing wrong in attracting the attention of those real and fake wine sellers. After all, there’s always another one if one vest is gone.
"What do you want from me?" She seemed to relax, her eyes looking straight at Yuya Kazami, "I don't think you can get my contact information through legal channels."
"It's just a casual chat. I can find your contact information." When Furuya Rei was not present, Kazami Yuya could still be considered reliable. He explained in a normal tone and then got to the point, "Where do you work now?"
"In a shady company." Tsukizono Akiko followed her heart and complained in a flat tone, "I have never met the boss or the superiors. Each member has a strange name. The only good thing is the high salary."
"What is the name of the company?" Yuya Kazami's tone became serious.
Yueyuan Mingzi: "..."
The tone of interrogating a prisoner has already appeared... Is it true that such tricks will not be discovered?
It was obvious that Yuya Kazami had received criticism from his superior. He immediately softened his expression and said, "Well, I just want to ask if you want to report that company."
"The boss gave me too much." Yueyuan Mingzi said expressionlessly, "I can't bear to give it up."
“…”
“…”
The childhood sweethearts looked at each other in bewilderment, and Tsukizono Akiko almost thought that the person opposite her wanted to handcuff her.
...Fortunately not.
But looking at Yuya Kazami's expression, Akiko Tsukizono was sure that this was not out of any friendship, but that Bourbon on the other end of the headset was telling him not to act rashly.
"You know my hacking abilities." Tsukizono Akiko shrugged. "That's the only place where I'll be respected for my abilities."
After all, the organization prioritizes ability, unlike her original company, where she was still a low-level employee after five years of hard work just because she didn't know how to deal with people and bribe her superiors.
"And I don't have the guts to do that." She said indifferently, "I don't want to know what the consequences will be if I offend that group of people. After all, the last time I offended them, the result was that the 'little toy' threatened me to join the company by holding my head against my head."
"What? You didn't come here completely voluntarily?" Kazami Yuya's tone became serious again. "How did the company invite you to join?"
"..." As soon as you ask the key question, you unconsciously reveal your public security attitude, Yuya-kun.
But it doesn't matter, since this guy has been serious since he was young, to the point of being a little clumsy.
Again, if she hadn't revealed it on purpose, she might have already left with caution by now.
——Bourbon, are your men really capable?
"They came and tied me up in the middle of the night." Yueyuan Mingzi said calmly with a dead look in her eyes.
Yuya Kazami frowned tightly. Akiko Tsukizono was now sure that this must be an absolutely safe public security base, otherwise the other party would definitely be listed on the list of suspicious persons.
Looking at the thoughtful face of the person opposite her, Tsukizono Akiko felt that it was too slow to reveal information in this way.
Anyway, there are no organization members watching around, so I can wander around freely.
"In fact, I'm not completely affiliated with that company." Tsukizono Akiko, who decided to start acting, gestured with her lips, "Consider it and come and see my part-time job?"
It is also time to let the Red Team get in touch with this organization, which currently only has three people.
As a high school student devoted to studying, unfortunately, Tang Lichu has not watched Detective Conan for at least seven years. He doesn't remember any plot about this animation.
I can still remember some of the characters.
He was sure that Bourbon was a good man and that his subordinate Yuya Kazami could be trusted.
The Red Team’s mutual tricks are already serious enough - even Tang Lichu, an outsider who hasn’t watched Detective Conan for a long time, has heard about it - Yueyuan Mingzi is not interested in playing their Mission Impossible or Dream of the Red Chamber.
Since there is a channel to connect with the red side, use it quickly. After all, Tsukizono Akiko and Kazami Yu have known each other for nearly 30 years, so they know each other well.
I just don’t know if the other party will believe it.
Just as she was thinking, she saw the person opposite her suddenly open his eyes wide.
——It seems that at least the other party understood her lip language.
Yuya Kazami nodded. He tapped the headset and his phone suddenly rang. Someone must have been helping him get out of this situation. "Sorry, Akiko, I have something else to do and I have to leave first. See you later."
He gestured to his cell phone.
Tsukizono Akiko sent him a location message from the number that had previously contacted her.
【Location sharing: Tang Li Detective Agency】
