Chapter 138 Ferry Incident

341.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the sky was already bright, and the model worker who had been working all night finally had some leisure time for breakfast.

Furutani Rei finally met Gin, who had just returned from a mission, in the organization's base. The latter was covered in the smell of blood, and even his long silver hair was stained with blood, which he had not yet cleaned up.

There was a sandwich in front of him, which looked a bit shabby.

Seeing him appear, Gin's brows furrowed sharply, and displeasure was written all over his face: "Bourbon, do you have nothing to do?"

"No, it's just the professionalism of a worker." Furuya Rei subconsciously raised his bourbon smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes, which seemed hypocritical. "It's just that your vague words to me before made me always feel that you were interfering with my mission, Gin."

"What do you want to do?" Vodka, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but complain for his elder brother, "It's you who is interfering with our mission!"

Furuya Rei ignored him and stared at Gin. He threw the photo of the Justice Star in front of him and said, "For the last time, help me deal with him, or I will go find that gentleman."

Gin tore up the photo without even looking at it, and said calmly: "He is a member of the organization, you don't have to worry about him, just attack the target directly."

The photos fell on the table, and the young man's sunny and gentle face was torn into pieces.

Or... admitted it.

Furiya Rei's heart shuddered. Although he had been mentally prepared, he almost couldn't control his fist when he heard the words from Gin's own mouth.

"What you say is it?" The smile on the blond man's face became even more hypocritical. Gin had expected this and was too lazy to argue with him, so he directly asked Vodka to go to the car and get the USB flash drive that he had placed in the compartment.

He looked up at Furiya Rei and said coldly, "Bourbon, I advise you to stop trying to pull me down!"

Furiya Rei smiled and was about to take the USB flash drive from Vodka when he saw Gin snatch it away.

The silver-haired man stood up and threw the sandwich on the table into the vodka plate. He suddenly raised his lips in a mocking tone and said, "I remember that you seemed to be annoyed by Granmani's existence. Aren't you worried that he would kill your beloved Cinsou?"

The smile on Fūya Rei's face disappeared instantly, and a cold murderous aura spread. He said almost cruelly: "That woman is dead. I don't want to hear her name!"

Gin looked at him and raised his eyebrows: "She is more heartless than Chianti. That woman was crazy for a few days after all."

Fūya Rei took a deep breath and said, "What do you want to say?"

"Then let's just look at Granmani's fun. I don't think you will refuse it, right?" Gin said with interest, "Bourbon, men shouldn't be too narrow-minded."

"At least I... am still happy to share the good show with you."

Gin stopped Vodka from following him and left with Bourbon, thinking about what the gentleman had said about him and Bourbon not making things too awkward.

It's no secret in the organization that Bourbon targeted Granmani, who wanted to kill her, because she liked Shenso, so the rule that the enemy of my enemy is my friend should also apply to him.

Gin only hoped that after he had a better relationship with Bourbon, this annoying dark-skinned man would stop using that mystical smile to annoy him.

342.

Eight forty-five, Esrona.

The man in the black windbreaker restrained his gloomy aura after he went out. He looked just a little indifferent, and the metal glasses just concealed the coldness, making him look just a little tired and taciturn.

He walked straight towards the exhibition hall, and when no one was around, he passed by the verification machine at the door and naturally placed his bracelet against it.

"Ding, welcome, Chiyodani Toru."

Immediately afterwards, Granmani quickly arrived at the special exhibition hall and knocked down the police officer guarding the door in a few seconds.

He stabbed the combination lock on the door several times with a dagger and pushed the door open.

------------

In the exhibition hall, Haibara Ai, who had just waited for five minutes by tapping her watch, opened the door and entered the exhibition hall. As expected, she saw Shinsou sleeping in front of the code box.

The white-haired woman was still holding the glass candy wrapper tightly in her hand. She lowered her head slightly, and her long hair slid down the sides of her cheeks, revealing a part of her white neck. She somehow reminded people of a doll without a clockwork, delicate yet lifeless.

Haibara Ai couldn't help but purse her lips and cleared the bad thoughts from her mind. She walked forward, intending to leave the exhibition hall with Shinsou.

But before she even reached this short distance, Haibara Ai inexplicably felt a chill running up her spine, sending out a sharp warning in her mind.

There were two "cracking" sounds behind me, and something was broken.

Then, the door that she had just closed opened again, and the surging air brought a cold breath, as if the god of death was gradually approaching.

The brown-haired girl turned around stiffly, and while leaning sideways she reached into her bag and pressed the location alarm button with all her strength.

Soon, the figure walked towards her without making any sound, still maintaining the professional qualities of a top killer.

Gran Marni...

The familiar face and breath aroused a shudder in Haibara's heart. She seemed to have returned to the day when she was hiding behind the GG cards and eavesdropping on the conversation between Gin and Granmani, listening to his murderous words.

"——When can I kill Shinsou?"

don't want!!!

Why didn't anyone notice him!

She couldn't help but scream in her heart, took a step back, and almost sat down on the ground due to her legs going weak.

This time, there was no gentle police officer holding her back and calling her "young lady" softly. There was only a murderous intent locking onto her.

But she still made no sound.

Haibara Ai just watched Granmani walk up to her and grab her neck just like the last time they met in Shinsou's house.

"Second time, Shirley."

The man's voice was particularly hoarse after passing through the voice changer, and was not as clear as when he was Chiyodani Toru. He stood up by pinching Haibara Ai's neck, forcing the latter to hang in the air with no foothold.

At this moment, Haibara Ai could no longer find any sense of relief. The feeling of suffocation was strange and familiar. The only thing that remained unchanged was that she was still powerless to fight back, and... she was always in front of the sleeping Shinsou.

“No, don’t…”

The vision in front of her eyes began to blur and there was a buzzing sound in her ears. Haibara Ai looked at those dark eyes and always felt it was unbelievable.

Is this a person? Can one person's acting skills really be so earth-shattering? !

Huihara Ai always felt that she was shouting something at the man at the top of her lungs, saying that Granmani's identity had been exposed long ago, that Shinso really loved him, and that she was almost ready to make the antidote for brainwashing...

Just let her go, please!

These words seemed to have been shouted out, but also seemed to be Huibara Ai's illusion.

But soon, she saw Granmani frown suddenly, retract his hand as if he was electrocuted, and throw her directly to the ground.

He felt a sharp pain in his back, and his vision darkened in an instant. He could only see the slightly stiff disguise mask moving with his dramatic expressions. It even had a crack on the side of his ear, revealing the whiter skin underneath.

"You can't kill me... Everyone is more important than me!" He cursed in a low voice, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her became even colder and piercingly cold.

——What does this mean?

Haibara Ai tried to think, but she used all her strength and could only tilt her head slightly, and then she fainted to the ground.

The last thought before she fell into coma actually gave her a glimmer of hope.

Conan Edogawa sighed last night: "It can't be that he's not the same person, right?"

When Granmani sneaked into the room, he did not kill her and Shinso, but he suddenly stopped himself.

So what about this time?

[Oh my god, I'm so nervous!! Ai-chan must have noticed it too!! Toru is not Granmani!!]

[Double personality——! (screaming) Show up quickly!! (roaring)]

[Fuck, when did Gran develop the habit of strangling people... Toru is also very reckless. Although I know that he will definitely not let Gran kill Ai, but disturbing him when he is carrying out a mission, that is, when the brainwashing instructions are the most serious, will undoubtedly make him angry! ! ]

[Zhao...suddenly realized that Toru's birthday just passed, and the personality of Granmani seemed to be born in these few days. From the previous details, Gran is not indifferent to this, but Toru obviously will not bless his existence.

The brainwashing and mission execution process happened again in the past few days——Will he really turn his anger on Toru?]

[Help, the daffodils I knocked seem to have blood!!]

[Giao ah! ! Sister! Gran, don't fucking touch my sister! (hair flaming) (breathing)]

----------

"Damn it, the alarm went off!"

The two members of the Explosion Team who were looking for Chiyodani Toru simply greeted each other, and the sense of urgency suddenly increased when they saw the flashing light on the receiver.

This alarm device will be distributed to important persons who have reported to the public security department. Anyone who receives the signal just needs to rush over without knowing who the person in need of help is.

But looking at the location where the alarm was flashing, Jinpei Matsuda became more and more anxious.

Could it be premature weaving?

The curly-haired police officer squeezed in the crowd, his image was gone. He rubbed his hair irritably and quickly said to Hagiwara Kenji: "Hagi, you continue to look for Toru, I'll go to the police location!"

Kenji Hagiwara responded with a crisp "Okay".

In fact, only fifteen minutes had passed since Chiyodani Toru disappeared, but this was already beyond the time required to go to the toilet, and successfully made Hagiwara Kenji feel a little uneasy.

Especially since they had discussed matters of the organization with each other before, he was very worried that Chiyodani was abducted by a member of some organization in those few short minutes.

Why does this kind of shit always happen after my birthday?

He cursed under his breath, remembering some ambiguous words Zhu Fujingguang said when they met last time. He immediately took out his cell phone and tried to contact him, but found that the signal was still intermittent. He tried to send a text message for a long time but failed.

Hagiwara Kenji suddenly became even more angry.

-------------

As Matsuda Jinpei was hurrying past, Edogawa Conan just happened to sneak out.

The young detective was sweating and breathing heavily. When he saw him, his eyes lit up and he shouted, "Officer Matsuda, I have something important to tell you..."

"Let's talk about it later!" Matsuda Jinpei patted Edogawa Conan on the head and said hurriedly, "I have something to do now, I'll come to you later!"

He quickly ran to the end of the corridor, and Conan Edogawa staggered because of his action, and his words were stuck in his throat.

Hey, hey! But if you don’t talk about this now, it will get really bad later!

But looking at the direction Matsuda Jinpei was heading, Conan Edogawa, who already had a bad premonition, finally dug out a piece of information that he had overlooked from his mind that was occupied by Granmani.

Oh no! Haibara and Shinsou are still in that exhibition hall!

Brother Che won't do anything to them...right?

Conan Edogawa himself didn't believe what he was saying - after all, there was a problem that the brother and sister were avoiding.

He gritted his teeth and quickly followed.

-------------

On the other hand, Zhu Fu Jingguang in the Public Security Bureau office was writing documents restlessly. He took out his mobile phone from time to time to check, but did not find any message.

He tried to contact Jinpei Matsuda or Kenji Hagiwara, or someone else on the ship, but all he received were warnings about poor signal. However, he had specifically checked the nautical chart and found that this location should not have such a weak signal.

"Senior..." he murmured anxiously, "I believe you, but I..."

He remembered that before boarding the ship, Chiyoya Saori sent him a message in the name of C, asking him to cooperate with his superiors to hand over other matters and not to get involved in anything related to the ferry.

She didn't mention Chiyodani Toru or herself, she just gave a cold order.

But it was precisely because there was no personal emotion involved that Morobushi Kagemitsu was so entangled.

When Zhufu Jingguang picked up the phone for the 115th time, he finally received a reply from one party.

At nine-thirty, Furuya Rei sent him a text message. This short sentence was the code they had agreed upon at the beginning, proving that Chiyodani Toru's situation was indeed true.

Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at the secret code and his heart beat faster. An unknown premonition made him restless and even made his hands tremble for no reason.

Soon, Furuya Rei sent another text message that contained personal feelings and should not be sent at this time.

【Hiro, I'm so tired. 】

343.

Seven fifteen.

Gin took him to an ordinary screening room, just like a meeting room inside the Metropolitan Police Department. It was a simple small room with paper and pen on the table. Only the huge screen was clear.

Fūya Rei had a bad feeling in his heart.

He really wanted to find out what Chiyodani Toru had gone through to become Granmani, and how powerful the brainwashing drug was to make him, who had such a strong will, succumb?

Or in other words - Furuya Rei is still thinking about how he can find reasons to defend Chiyodani Toru.

Bourbon wanted to kill Granmani, but Furuya Rei... couldn't give up Chiyodani Toru.

They had finally managed to melt this heart that was as cold as ice, but how could they bear to smash it to the ground?

As long as he can prove that Toru was forced, as long as he——

He seemed unable to change anything.

When he really sat down, Fūya Rei suddenly realized that his palms were full of sweat.

"Speaking of the information about this drug, I don't believe you haven't investigated it. Currently, the only remaining example is in the intelligence team, but it's just one of Rum's men." Gin slowly opened the computer and said, "If the possibility of it being effective was not so low, I really want to give everyone in the organization an injection..."

Furiya Rei came to his senses and asked coldly, "For example, the FBI agent who defected?"

The smile on Gin's face disappeared instantly. He touched the scar on his face, with murderous intent flashing in his green eyes. He said, "No, I will just kill him myself."

The silver-haired killer became irritated by this topic. He threw away his mouse, walked downstairs without any preface, sat next to Furiya Rei, and lit a cigarette.

As the picture gradually became clearer, Gin sneered vaguely, "Silver bullet... How could the organization not have it?"

Although he could not get access to the top secrets of the police, Granmani provided a lot of intelligence. As long as he used it properly, he could easily bring the hard-sought information back to the organization.

Furutani Rei ignored him and turned his gaze to the screen. The corner that was vaguely revealed during the initial monitoring and debugging looked familiar, as if it was a place often used by the organization to interrogate traitors.

He had also participated in it before he was transferred to the intelligence team. Those undercover agents were tortured beyond recognition. On the one hand, they were warned of the consequences of their evil thoughts, and on the other hand, their psychological qualities were observed.

It can be said that most undercover agents cannot survive the organization's methods. They either reveal the information too quickly or are tortured to death.

How did Chiyodani Toru get brought here in the first place?

Fūya Ling frowned and looked at him with a cold gaze, but only he knew that he was using all his strength to control the trembling of his fingertips.

He was afraid of seeing a pool of blood.

Even if it is irreversible.

-------------

The surveillance camera was finally fixed, like a spotlight on the stage, shining on the only protagonist.

The young black-haired youth was still wearing an old-fashioned hospital gown. The wound on his shoulder was smeared with red blood, covering the word "HOSPITAL".

He hung his head, leaning against a fixed chair, apparently still in a coma, his black hair wet as if soaked with cold sweat.

Furuya Rei instantly remembered this scene. At that time, that hospital could be said to be Chiyodani Toru's second happy home. He set a record for the highest number of injuries and hospitalizations in just six months, and no police academy student has yet been able to break it.

At that time, he saved a broken family on his birthday, and dismantled the bomb despite the pain of a sniper bullet piercing his shoulder... That bastard was almost bleeding dry, but he was still able to smile and joke with them.

This memory came back quickly and violently, as if it had been neatly stored in my mind. Suddenly, I could still see the satisfied and gentle eyes of the black-haired young man.

As for the person who fired the gun...

Fūya Rei looked at Gin subconsciously with cold eyes.

Gin was smoking and admiring his masterpiece. He turned around and saw Bourbon looking at him indifferently. He immediately thought that he was impatient with the slow prelude. He tutted and took out the remote control: "So impatient?"

"I thought you'd like to see Granmarie at your mercy."

Fūya almost elbowed Gin in the face. He turned his head, forced himself to focus on the front, and said in a tough voice: "This is Chiyodani Toru."

"Indeed." Gin twitched his lips, glanced at the young man in the video, and said, "Soon he won't be."

The fast-forwarded video soon reached the popular part. When Chiyodani Toru was awake, he was still energetic and fierce. Like a wolf cub in a defensive state, he was the first to show his claws and teeth.

Furiya Rei looked at the wound on his shoulder that had ruptured during his movement, but he continued to observe the room as if he had no reaction. The part of his foot that was caught lifted up his trouser leg as he moved, revealing a somewhat scary bruise.

Chiyodani Toru was like a bystander, as if he had just discovered that his foot was injured, and an expression of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.

Very dull.

Fūya Ling couldn't help but gasp when he saw the bruises, and subconsciously cursed "idiot" in his heart!

At the same time, his heart twisted. After years of experience, he concluded that it was not because Chiyodani Toru was insensitive to pain, but because there were too many painful parts of his body. The CPU in his brain could not react at once, and hurriedly sent all kinds of judgments about the injuries to the front, which made a mess.

Just like when you have a high fever, it is difficult for most people to tell where exactly they are uncomfortable, but they feel that nothing is feeling well.

This idiot...

Why does he have to show off alone?

Perhaps it was because Chiyodani Toru looked exactly the same as he did seven years ago, so Furuya Rei had an inherently stubborn impression of him, as if all the pain he had suffered over the years was concentrated in this one image, wishing to drag him down.

In fact, Chiyodani Toru really couldn't bear it anymore.

He had endured so many thrills in just a few days, his wounds had been torn repeatedly, the side effects of excessive blood loss were hovering before his eyes, and the sudden attack was strong enough to change his fate, and it eventually tore apart the disguise of strength that he had worn for so long.

Fūya Rei watched as Chiyodani Toru bit the bandage with his teeth to wrap the broken wound together. Blood flowed down his lips as if it was being vomited out of his mouth.

Quickly, he covered his eyes with his sleeves.

Chiyodani Toru, who just celebrated his 21st birthday, cried.

Fūya Rei felt his throat was clogged, and the colors in the picture seemed to be repainted by his eyelashes in the blink of an eye, leaving only the particularly glaring red and the particularly suffocating white, making him repeatedly unable to see clearly how fate brought his classmates to this situation.

Why...why it has to be him?

Gin had burned down a cigarette in his hand and smoked it vigorously, but the two people who would usually frown and let him throw away the cigarette did not stop him.

One is Bourbon who is addicted to the video, and the other is Granmani, the former protagonist of the video.

When he was Chiyodani Toru, he shed tears, but after the change, the only expressions on his face were indifference and a clumsy smile.

Gin felt it was quite fresh watching this moment, as if he was watching a movie that had nothing to do with him.

Now if he looks carefully...he has also separated Chiyodani Toru and Granmani into two separate beings.

"You are the one in charge?" Bourbon suddenly asked, his voice a little hoarse, as if he was affected by the second-hand smoke. "It has always been you?"

Gin uttered "hmm" in a nasal voice and cut away the scene of Chiyodani Toru's stress.

The video is finally no longer a one-man show for the young man.

The surveillance camera had a limited field of view, and Furiya Rei could only barely see Gin walk in, as leisurely as he usually walked while shopping.

Even his tears were silent, but he seemed to have seen the most horrific thing in the world. Even his eyes, which were still watery, were widened to their maximum, reflecting blood and burning with flames of deep evil and despair.

He stood up shakily, but sat back down abruptly when his hand touched the smooth yet vicious wall. The wound on his shoulder turned slightly red, and a little red finally stained his earlobe due to the violent movement.

"What did you do to him?!"

Chiyodani Toru completely ignored Gin's previous attempt to strangle him and continued to argue with him in a cold voice.

Fūya Rei bit the tip of his tongue hard, feeling the pain going down his throat into his brain, swirling around.

Bourbon, who had been in the organization for many years, easily guessed "his" identity from just one sentence.

They are nothing more than undercover agents who have been exploited to the point of being worthless. They are treated as the cheapest targets, with members using their consciences as bullets to pierce through them one by one. When the bullets are used up, their consciences are gone.

Like him, Bourbon has no conscience.

He lowered his head and coughed twice, then realized that he had taken a bite without realizing it and almost bit himself in the stomach.

In fact... as usual, no matter which newbie stood here, Furuya Rei had already guessed what would happen next.

A trace of pain flashed across the blond man's purple-gray eyes.

But Chiyodani Toru...Toru...given his personality, would he really shoot?
