Chapter 7979

The day of the secret joint meeting.

The sky was dark, and the air was filled with cold ice particles. Under the cover of night, the colorful lights of the bar cast a blurry light.

Zhu Fu Jingguang was wearing an inconspicuous casual gown. He raised his hand to pull his hood and entered the bar through a small door on the side.

According to the intelligence, the meeting place was in the basement of this bar. The choice of this place was made after a long process of deliberation and after all parties had sounded out each other, it was finally decided when the meeting date was approaching.

This is a bar that looks ordinary from the outside, but has a lot of twists and turns inside.

There are countless escape routes and many secret doors, which are secret and safe enough.

As this meeting is confidential, only those who have passed the layers of identity screening know how to enter the final basement.

Has this day finally come? Zhu Fu Jingguang exhaled a breath, and he stepped into the steamy bar, with noisy music in his ears and a hazy feeling of unreality in his heart.

It had been a long time since he received the news of the joint meeting, but because it was a secret point-to-point contact, Morobushi Kagemitsu didn't know who else would be present this time.

The only thing that is clear is that the organizer and leader of the joint meeting, the mysterious "Nightingale", will appear.

[Nightingale]. Morobushi Kagemitsu knew this code name. His superiors and Zero's superiors had mentioned this name.

——It is said that this was the code name of an outstanding senior in the police academy.

But based on the various details revealed before, that original police academy senior had already died.

This code name was restarted after many twists and turns. I don't know who inherited the legacy of his former police academy predecessor.

...In an organization, in a place like that, is there anyone who can carry on the legacy of a policeman?

Zhu Fu Jingguang could not help but remain silent for a while.

He still remembered his superiors mentioned that the reactivated Nightingale brought a lot of valuable information and saved many people, but then there was no news of it until it reappeared recently.

He wasn't sure if the Nightingale was okay during the time she disappeared, but he hoped she was okay.

No matter how many generations the Nightingale has passed, it is always like a phantom, belonging to the sun, but hiding in places the sun cannot see, flowing in the darkness, spying on all the truths that should be revealed to the world.

Zhufu Jingguang thought that he admired [Nightingale].

So today, he was able to see the Nightingale with his own eyes, and Morobu Jingguang was filled with anticipation. He pursed his lips into a firm line, and looked far ahead with his blue-gray eyes.

As I looked up, a familiar figure happened to appear before my eyes... The long-haired man wearing a knitted hat and sitting at the long table in the bar was - Lei! ?

Morofushi Jingguang was stunned. Why did Lei suddenly appear here? !

In this brief moment, his mind was filled with thoughts that surged violently like a tide, then quickly slowed down and calmed down, entering a state of absolute calmness in the face of major events.

It's not good news to unexpectedly run into someone from the organization at the place where a secret joint meeting is about to take place... I don't know if the organization has heard something or just happened to have a mission to carry out nearby.

To be honest, Morobushi Kagemitsu hasn't seen Lei for a while.

They were once a three-man team, but later on, they seemed to be involved in a turmoil in the organization. Although the incident was over, he did not leave the Code Core.

Zhufu Jingguang had heard some rumors that Lei seemed to be an undercover agent of a certain company... Of course, he was skeptical about this.

——After all, it was Gin, the expert mouse catcher, who came forward to save Lei. How could Gin save an undercover agent?

When Zhu Fu Jingguang looked over, the long-haired man wearing a knitted hat seemed to be sensitive to the gaze and raised his eyes to look over.

The two looked at each other. Morofushi Jingguang adjusted his facial expression, not revealing any unnecessary signals.

He decided to test the other party before attending the joint meeting to avoid being discovered by the organization and causing trouble.

So Zhu Fu Jingguang paused, then stepped forward, walked over, and sat down at the long table in the bar.

He didn't rush to speak, but first glanced at the table of the man in the knitted hat next to him. Seeing that the other party had not ordered any drinks, Morofushi Jingguang tapped the wooden bar table and smiled lightly, "Long time no see, I'd like to buy you a drink?"

The long-haired man in the knitted hat—that is, Akai Shuichi—turned half-sideways to face the approaching man with blue-gray cat eyes and a hood.

Suddenly noticing the attention, Akai Shuichi raised his eyes and saw Scotland from the organization, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

He originally received a message from the FBI and came here to wait to attend the so-called secret joint meeting. Who knew that he would unexpectedly meet a member of the organization.

So how come there are people from the organization here? But no matter what, fortunately I have some words to respond.

Hearing the invitation from Scotland, Shuichi Akai calmly replied, "No need, I have something else to do here."

Morofu Jingguang was shocked when he heard this, and was surprised by the other party's calm attitude. There is something to do... Could it be that the organization really discovered something! ?

Then he heard Lai's next words: "I have an appointment with a client to discuss the watermelon business in two months."

Morofushi Kagemitsu: "..."

If Ley hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that Gin had arranged for him to open a melon shop... If he wasn't a buddy, why did he really go to sell melons? Does the organization really need people who can sell melons! ! ?

Zhu Fu Jingguang's mouth twitched slightly.

For some reason, when it comes to watermelons, his first reaction is the mysterious watermelon seller he met during police school, who always appeared at key locations and was probably an undercover policeman.

If I remember correctly, it seems to be called Chaori Xiqiu.

So why is it that no matter what your identity is, in the end they all end up selling melons!

His thoughts turned thousands of times, but there was no wavering on Zhu Fu Jing Guang's face.

He just wore a smile that hid his sharpness, looked like a good guy but concealed a meaningful smile, and continued in a relaxed voice: "It seems that your client is not very punctual, so he let you wait here alone."

"..." Akai Shuichi remained calm and replied, "If you want to make a deal, you have to be more patient than your customers."

The two were each vigilant and had their own thoughts, and each thought that the other was a surveillance sent by the organization.

The bar's circulating lights shone on the bar in front of the two people, and the red, green, blue and white light and shadows intertwined and rolled.

Before the two of them started to talk tentatively, a tall glass filled with dark liquid was suddenly handed to them from the bar in front of them.

"I'll treat you."

The two turned around and saw a blond man in a waiter's uniform standing behind the bar with a tray in his hand and a smile on his face.

Zero! Morofushi Jingguang was delighted, but not too surprised. Because he had guessed that his own son would definitely be arranged by his superior to attend this joint meeting.

Akai Shuichi's mind was tense, and he felt that the situation was not going well.

If there was only one member of the organization, Scotland, he would still be confident that he could handle it. But now there is another member joining, and he is Bourbon, who has always been at odds with him... This is a bit troublesome.

By the way, was there really no leak of this joint meeting? Why do members of the organization appear here so frequently?

"I'm so sorry, I only made one drink this time. It seems I can't treat you two." The blond man shrugged his shoulders and said in a relaxed manner, "It's been a long time since we last met. This drink is on you, Lei."

Shuichi Akai's eyes fell on the goblet filled with wine and he did not move.

"Why don't you drink?" Bourbon's voice rose slightly, with a professional smile on his face, "What's your concern?"

Akai Shuichi: “…”

One day, a partner in an organization who had always been at odds with me suddenly offered to treat me to a meal. The meal must have been poisoned.

——Of course, although he said so, Shuichi Akai knew that if Bourbon really wanted to harm someone, he would not be stupid enough to choose this method to leave a handle.

So objectively speaking, this drink is just a result of some cocktail mixing techniques, which makes it look mild, but in fact it has a strong aftertaste.

Of course Shuichi Akai couldn't drink, he needed to keep a clear mind later.

Although the secret joint meeting is against the enemy of the crow, they are not the same organization and still have to strive for their own interests as much as possible.

"I have an appointment, and I won't drink during the mission." Akai Shuichi refused naturally. He had said from the beginning that he had to discuss watermelon business with a client, so it was very reasonable to decline at this time.

"Really?" Bourbon replied lightly. During this time, his eyes briefly met Zhu Fu Jingguang's for a moment, and then naturally moved away.

But even though they only glanced at each other, the tacit understanding acquired from childhood also allowed them to unspokenly colluded their intentions - in short, choose one person to hold Lei first.

One of them belongs to the Japanese Public Security Bureau, and the other belongs to the Public Security Department of the Metropolitan Police Department. They are not in the same department, but they are still in the same camp. It doesn't matter which of them participates in the secret joint meeting.

Furuya Rei planned to hold back Lei and let Hiro go to the meeting - because his current identity is a temporary waiter in a bar, it is more convenient for him to act than Morobushi Kagemitsu.

He smiled, his curved purple-gray eyes full of calmness and thought as he pondered the next topic.

Realizing Yu Kunran's plan, Morobushi Jingguang did not refuse. He knew that time was precious, so he decided to take this opportunity to turn around and leave and go to the joint secret meeting.

Before he turned around, he heard footsteps approaching from behind. Zhu Fu Jingguang became alert and turned his head to look!

Walking towards them was a tall man with long silver hair and a black windbreaker.

——Gin!!!?

Could it be that the person Ray just mentioned was actually waiting for Gin?! The top killer of the organization has come, what is going on! !

Zhu Fu Jingguang's pupils suddenly shrank for a moment. Although his heart was shaken, he still tried his best to keep a steady expression.

At this time, Furuya Rei was in a similar state of mind as Morobushi Kagemitsu, and he had already begun to imagine the worst-case scenario of the news leaking out. His brain was working at full speed, preparing to respond to any situation.

And what was indifferent in Akai Shuichi's heart was a faint sense of death that no longer mattered at this point.

One real wine is fine, two real wines are not impossible to deal with, but now surrounded by three real wines, what can I do? I might as well find a real watermelon customer to contact and pretend to the end.

Facing Gin approaching on the shadow of the light bulb, Morofushi Kagemitsu, Furuya Rei, and Akai Shuichi all perked up.

They looked over and prepared different remarks.

Morofushi Kagemitsu & Furuya Rei & Akai Shuichi: In short, we must not reveal our identities. More importantly, we must not reveal the secret joint meeting!

At least, they must not let Nightingale be exposed to the organization.

Gin took one step, two steps, three steps and walked up to them. When he saw the three members of the Whiskey Group in front of him, his brows raised slightly, and then calmed down.

——He knew that the wines of these three people were fake.

Gin had investigated the people around Asahi before, so he knew that Bourbon and Scotch from the whiskey group were classmates with Asahi when he dropped out of the police academy.

As for Lei, also known as Shuichi Akai, he noticed it by observing the situations of Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara.

All three of them are undercover agents. The boss is really good at recruiting people. Gin's collection of jokes about his boss has been expanded.

But what was somewhat surprising was that the representatives of all parties to this secret joint meeting actually sent these three people - if they had known this, they would not have to pick a time to gather here specifically, and could have just found time to chat in the organization.

Oh, but of course this secret joint meeting involves more than just these few parties, there are also spies from other countries. So we still have to meet at a designated location.

Gin raised his eyelids, glanced at Bourbon with a fake smile, Scotch who looked calm, and Ley who looked expressionless, nodded, and said coldly: "Very good, you are all here. Let's go and have a meeting downstairs."

Zhufu Jingguang:?

Shuichi Akai:?

Furuya Rei:?
