Chapter 066 Whereabouts
Toru Amuro sent Vermouth back to the organization's base, but did not meet Gin on the way.
He thought: Gin should be dealing with the follow-up of the mission. After all, this time an unknown force suddenly appeared and robbed the organization of things, Gin must be very unhappy.
After leaving, he immediately contacted Yuya Kazami.
Yuya Kazami reported that all surviving members of the Takayama Group had been captured tonight. They also discovered members of two other organizations among the injured. Perhaps due to their severe injuries, their companions had presumed them dead, but they were actually still breathing.
Toru Amuro said: "Block the news and transfer them to our side for rescue." There should be peripheral members of the organization among these people. Although they cannot access the inside of the organization, more intelligence is always better, and there may be unexpected surprises.
"No problem," said Kazami Yuya. "With the assistance of Officer Kuroda, the Investigation Section 1 found nothing unusual."
"That's good." Amuro Toru asked, "Have you found out what organization the other group is?"
Yuya Kazami said solemnly, "It should be an international criminal organization specializing in collecting gemstones. They are mainly active in Europe, and the specific situation needs to be investigated in detail."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
After hanging up the phone, Toru Amuro tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, feeling a little annoyed.
Another criminal organization has emerged! What do they think this place is?!

Dong Yexi had a good sleep and felt refreshed. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in the arms of the person he loved, and his mood was even better.
However, Hatori Yui hadn't woken up yet, so he still stayed in bed in her arms.
He held Hatori Yui's hand while checking the system messages.
He'd been so busy operating on his eldest brother that he'd forgotten to check his notifications. Now, after opening them, he saw that he'd been given three raffle tickets after escaping the crisis at the birthday party, one for saving his eldest brother, and three more for escaping the fire last night. Adding the one for saving Gong You, he had eight raffle tickets already, and he'd soon have ten in a row.
The previous quest to deliver three coupons was also related to the winery. Does it mean that if the suspect has alcohol, the reward will be greater? However, this also means an increased risk of death.
Dong Yexi thought about it and gave up the idea of fishing. After all, how could he, an ordinary person, beat the smart people in the winery?
Dong Yexi frowned and was deep in thought, not noticing that he was playing with Hatori Weiyi's hand more and more unscrupulously, and directly woke him up.
However, Hatori Yuiichi wasn't angry. The two of them got up, washed up, and went downstairs to the hotel to have breakfast with the equally energetic Maori Kogoro and others.
After leaving the hotel, they learned that the fire had been burning for the entire night and had only recently been extinguished. Fortunately, the Gaoshan Group's walls were high, and the fire department had promptly established a containment zone, preventing the fire from spreading to other residents.
Hatori Yuiichi also found the motorcycle he had hidden and found it intact, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
This was Sakuhaya Shinta's "beloved wife". Fortunately, she was not broken, otherwise he would have "lost his wife".
Since Hatori only had a motorcycle, Higashino decided not to follow his assistant's car and instead tried riding on the back of the motorcycle. It must be said that the feeling of speeding was indeed very pleasant.
When he got home, he was, as expected, scolded. My eldest brother was still very weak, so he had to remain calm and speak in a very calm tone.
But Dong Yexi felt that this was more terrifying than yelling at him.
The eldest brother said that until he could get out of bed, his younger brother would act as a nurse and fulfill his filial duty by his bedside. The implication was that he should stop hanging out and stay home.
Higashino Xi: ...Is this how you express filial piety?
There was nothing he could do; his eldest brother had given the order, and he had no choice but to obey. However, there were plenty of servants at home, so he didn't have to do any physical labor. He just had to chat with his eldest brother, occasionally act silly, and entertain his parents with colorful clothes.
Two days later, Shiratori Renzaburo came to visit.
Since the eldest brother is not available, Dong Yexi will meet the guest.
As soon as they met, Shiratori Renzaburo handed him a box and said, "We've discussed this for a long time in our group, and we think this should be given to you."
Dong Yexi looked at the box and had a bad feeling. He opened it and saw a radiant ruby lying quietly inside.
Higashino: "...Isn't this with the Takayama Group? How did it end up in your hands?" Even if the Takayama Group didn't secure it, it should have been taken by the zoo or the winery, right? Are the people doing this mission so lame? They fought so hard and still couldn't get it?
Shiratori Renzaburo explained, "That night, Higashino Teru took advantage of the chaos to get the ruby, then set fire to the Takayama Group and escaped. He didn't get far before he was caught by armed police ambushed nearby. He looked panicked and clearly out of his mind. However, the armed police's main task at the time was to ambush, so they could only handcuff him. After the incident was over, he was taken to the Metropolitan Police Department."
"After interrogation, we learned that he used this ruby as payment to bribe the Takayama Group to kidnap you and demand a high ransom. He is guilty of kidnapping for ransom and arson, and his sentence will be very long."
Dong Yexi thought: It was really Dong Yezhao who set the fire! However, he was a handsome young man who had been living a life of luxury since childhood. Letting him spend his whole life in prison would probably be more painful than killing him.
Shiratori Renzaburo continued, "This gem is extremely valuable, and it's difficult for the police to keep it. Manager Kuroda said it should be returned to you. After all, the money that Tono Teru bought it with came from the Tono family. Strictly speaking, this gem belongs to your family."
Now that "Yannian" is too famous, the police cannot afford to hold this hot potato. If it is lost one day and the media finds out, it will become a joke.
So this is a bomb, let’s get rid of it quickly.
Shiratori Renzaburo left feeling relaxed, but Dong Yexi felt his scalp tingling as he held the box.
He was the one who spread the rumor that rubies could "extend life." They weren't worth the price at all! Furthermore, the situation at the zoo and the winery was still unknown. If they hadn't given up on the gem, their family would have been the next target!
Dong Yexi thought about it and decided that he couldn't keep it. He asked Fujitsuka Tian to find an auction house to put it up for sale.
As long as it’s sold, it has nothing to do with my family!
As the person who promoted the "Little Stories of Longevity," Fujizuka Tian was well aware of the gem's value. He fully supported the Second Young Master's sale, believing the current estimated price was inflated, and it wouldn't be worth that much after some time.
Later, the "Yan Nian" was entrusted to the world's largest auction house. In order to set a new record for rubies and fetch a high price, the auction house once again promoted it, even using the title "The Treasure that Kaito Kidd Coveted But Couldn't Get".
As a result, on the eve of the auction, the gem was stolen during transportation, and the auction house and the insurance company will face huge compensation due to improper storage.
It was the zoo that stole the "Yan Nian" gem. They had no trouble stealing the gem from the transport truck, but upon returning to a base, they were attacked by an unknown organization, resulting in numerous casualties. However, the group wasn't after the gem; after destroying the base, they left, seemingly intent on killing.
In response, Gin said, "I don't care about these rubbish gems. You ruined my mission, so I'll destroy one of your bases. That's evening the score."
After the incident was over, the top management of the organization realized that Gin had inexplicably become entangled with a mysterious organization. Because of this incident, the top management had some complaints about him.
But the boss believed that Gin had done nothing wrong. His fight had demonstrated the organization's strength and intimidated his fellow nemesis. At least in the near future, other dark forces would be reluctant to confront them.
Although their organization is little known to outsiders, it still has some reputation among its peers. The dark world is a jungle of the weak, and if an organization begins to weaken, its peers are the first to react. Therefore, occasionally showing a knife is also a reminder to those around them that their organization is still strong. If they want to swallow us up, they should first check if their blood is thick enough.
For the boss who is already on the decline, Gin is very satisfied with his actions this time.
Rum leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, tapping the armrest with his fingers intermittently.
"The boss's personality has changed a bit," he said. "He used to not like to be so flamboyant."
He turned his head and asked the person next to him: "What do you think? Cayo?"
The young man codenamed Kayao was standing next to Rum. He didn't respond when he heard his question.
"Oops." Rum seemed to have just realized what was happening and said, "I forgot that your reaction time is a bit slow."
At this time, Ka Yao said slowly: "The boss has his own ideas."
Rum propped his chin on one hand and said, "However, we can't let Gin become too arrogant. He can't hold more power. If you only have a knife, don't even think about being the one holding it."
Ka Yao said slowly: "Two more days." He will be back to normal.
"It seems that I should adopt Bourbon's advice." Rum whispered.
Kayao: "Gin is indeed amazing."
Rum: ...
"Just shut up first."
After making the decision, Rum took Kayao to another stronghold.
This stronghold is different from previous bars and warehouses. On the surface, it is an ordinary three-story villa, but underground, it is a heavily guarded laboratory.
After Rum and Kayao entered through iris authentication, they met a bald old man wearing glasses.
"Oh! What a rare guest!" The old man said exaggeratedly with his arms spread out, "I didn't expect to see you here! It's been a long time since we last met!"
He circled around Ka Yao twice and said in amazement, "Ka Yao's physical fitness is still good. He can walk so quickly."
Kayao didn't show any expression, but his toes changed direction.
Rum glanced at him and said coldly, "I don't have time for you. Where's Mulata?"
The bald old man glanced at the wall clock and said, "She'll have to wait another ten hours."
Rum frowned and asked dissatisfiedly, "Why is it taking so long this time?"
The bald old man spread his hands and said, "Maybe because she is a woman?"
Rum glanced at him. "Really? Why don't others do the same?"
The bald old man scratched his hairless head and said, "Others? You mean Vermouth? Of course she is different! How many people can be like her..."
Rum interrupted him unhappily: "Okay. When Mulantan wakes up, let her come find me. I'll be waiting upstairs."
The bald old man nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"

Dong Yexi stayed at home for a while and felt like he was going moldy. It was not until his elder brother was able to get out of bed that he was released from his confinement.
However, you must bring bodyguards when traveling.
"Bringing a bodyguard to school? Isn't that too exaggerated?" Dong Yexi showed a rejection expression.
The eldest brother said, "Other children have bodyguards accompanying them to school, why can't you?"
Higashino Hi retorted: "Suzuki Sonoko doesn't have that!"
The eldest brother glanced at him and said: "That's because she has a karate champion friend. If you have one too, and you are inseparable, then you don't need a bodyguard."
Higashino Xi: ...Xiaolan, is that something that ordinary people can compare to?
Forget it, he should just listen to his elder brother.
"But they can't wear suits or sunglasses, that would be too conspicuous," said Dong Yexi. "Let them wear everyday clothes."
The bodyguards did as they were told, but after changing their clothes, they turned into gangster thugs.
Dong Yexi: ...There is a large group of people following him. Anyone who sees him will definitely call the police immediately!
He looked at Fujitsuka Tian for help.
The housekeeper was very considerate and took the trouble to dress these guys up again, turning them from "thugs" into "ordinary strong men."
Dong Yexi applauded from the side: "Great. Just change a few clothes and hairstyle, and you feel different immediately."
Fujizuka Tian smiled slightly. "Thank you for the compliment, Second Young Master. They won't be too close to you at school. If you need help, you can use this." He handed Dong Yexi an electronic bracelet. "This bracelet can communicate directly with them, just like a walkie-talkie, and it also has a positioning function."
Dong Yexi took it and looked at it. Isn't this a children's phone watch?
After he put on the bracelet, his elder brother and Fujizuka Tian finally let him out. The moment the car drove out of the gate, his mood soared.
He rolled down the car window, closed his eyes, and felt the wind blowing in his face. Is this what freedom feels like?
No, this is the smell of letting off steam.
After arriving at school, Dong Yexi first reported to his tutor.
He originally thought that his teacher would be angry because he hadn't been in school for so many days. But when Teacher Baotian saw him, he immediately smiled like a flower: "Oh, our top student is back!"
Dong Yexi: If the old man hadn’t said it with such sincerity, he would have thought he was playing tricks on him.
"I've heard everything about you."
Dong Yexi was puzzled: "What's the matter?"
"Hey!" Professor Yasuda slapped his thigh. "It's about you helping your elder brother with the surgery! One of the people assisting you at the time was also one of my students. He told me everything about your performance."
Instructor Baotian said, "For five hours, your hands were steady, your emotions were stable, and every instruction was precise." He patted his arm with satisfaction and said, "You've achieved mastery."
Dong Yexi quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, that was just my exceptional performance. In fact, I'm still a rookie!" He was afraid that the instructor would get carried away and ask him to perform surgery.
[Surgeon's Master] can only last for five hours, and there's a cooldown period. Without any skills, he's nothing.
Teacher Baotian was not angry. He smiled and said, "Anyway, you didn't embarrass me, an old man!" Then he laughed out loud.
Higashino Xi: ...Why do I feel like I'm being roasted on a fire?
