Chapter 61 The Black Crow's Fallacies
I can't bring myself to criticize her normally, let alone do something risky like this because she misses her sister. At most, I'll tell her how dangerous it is, but I can't bring myself to say anything harsh to her...
After all, it's a fact that she couldn't save her sister from Gin. If she could have found out the truth faster back then, and stopped her sister from going to see Gin after hiding the 1 billion yen in stolen money...
I never expected that what I thought was a risky thing would actually come true. Because of my guilt for not being able to save her sister, I couldn't bring myself to talk to her about some things.
As a result, this behavior almost killed Sonoko today. I can't act so emotionally in the future. I must handle matters related to the organization with absolute rationality.
At this moment, Conan couldn't care less about blaming Ai Haibara for not providing much information and instead hindering Sonoko's progress, and after reflecting on his actions, he quickly started thinking.
Given the organization's style, what arrangements would they make besides sniping her if they discovered Shirley was coming to this building? In any case, it's best to leave this sightseeing elevator as soon as possible to avoid being sniped again.
Fortunately, they seemed to be lucky; the transparent sightseeing elevator happened to stop between floors where most of the building was blocked by solid walls, with only the upper part exposed.
Otherwise, even if everyone crouched down to take cover, the next bullet would still be fired. Just like in that critical moment, why did this man, who is almost certainly a member of the organization, stop his companions from attacking Sonoko?
Could it be because he recognized Sonoko as not Ai Haibara at close range, and he doesn't like to take action against strangers? But is what he did wrong? Ai Haibara's sister told him this before she died.
That organization was completely black, both in terms of its clothing habits and its way of doing things. When she urged Ai Haibara to tell her the location of the organization's base or research institute that she knew, she was met with a strong sense of unease.
When the research companies and residences that Ai Haibara mentioned were turned to ashes, some people were found dead. It is estimated that they were silenced by the organization. Even though it was Ai Haibara who betrayed them, the others who had no problems were also silenced.
The same thing happened with the video game company explosion incident. The owners and members of the rooftop bar on the Daikoku building did nothing wrong; it was Tequila's mission that went wrong.
This led the police to learn from the suspect that he was buying and selling intelligence there, but in the blink of an eye, the bar was completely blown up, and the bar owner, two waiters, and several customers were all confirmed dead...
What I still don't understand is why Darmo saved someone again? First, he seemed to save Tokiwa-san, then when the elevator stopped, he tried to save the madam, and just now it's confirmed that he saved Sonoko.
Logically, members of the organization shouldn't care about killing the wrong person or implicating innocent people. When they get ruthless, they can even abandon their own people at will. There's no need for them to save innocent bystanders who are implicated. Is the act of saving people just now the style that members of the organization should have?
However, Sonoko's identity is special; she is the daughter of the Suzuki family, one of Japan's three most powerful families. Perhaps the organization members didn't want to provoke the Suzuki family, an enemy, and only took action because the Suzuki family was doing everything in their power to investigate the reason why their beloved daughter was shot and killed...

On the other side, Gin was shot in the elevator button area and stopped working. In the instant the elevator stopped, he saw through the scope that 'Sherry' was crouching on the ground in a disheveled state, holding her head and looking at her fat pig friend in a panic.
He then realized that she wasn't Shirley. He had previously partnered with Shirley under organizational arrangements, carrying out various tasks...
During the mission, it was clear that she was only superficially cooperative.
Deep down, however, he exudes an arrogant distance, despising and loathing himself, Vodka, and other members of the organization—these scoundrels—when engaging in any legitimate activities of the organization, such as murder to silence witnesses or destroying evidence.
She would give him a look of disgust and aversion, and would occasionally make sarcastic remarks about the members of the organization. Vodka, that oblivious guy, couldn't sense it, but he wouldn't be fooled by such a clumsy disguise.
They're all members of the organization, all doing shady, clandestine things. Who looks down on whom? Humph! Just like her sister, they're all black crows pretending to be swans, forgetting whose food they eat and whose money they spend, living the leisurely and respectable life of an American heiress.
Her own little piglet knew exactly what she did. Even if she wouldn't do those jobs herself, she never looked down on or hated her profession. She respected and was close to her. Except for doing bad things, she was obedient to her in every other way.
People like this, who are members of the organization but clearly have no sense of belonging and no self-awareness, and who think they are more pure and innocent than the Black Crows, are the type of people Gin hates.
Once he discovered her true colors, he wanted to show her what kind of person he was and what she was pretending for, so he deliberately threatened her a few times. She immediately showed that disgusting reaction, making Vodka think he was interested in her. Ha...
Later, after it was revealed that her sister's boyfriend was an FBI undercover agent, she probably heard some rumors that Vodka was spreading among others, and mistakenly thought that he was interested in her and had tried to win her over with his arrogant personality.
She tried to improve her position in the organization by developing a close relationship with him in order to avoid the crisis caused by her sister's relationship with an FBI undercover agent and being purged by the organization. However, she had no interest in women associated with betraying the organization and found their personalities repulsive, so she refused.
It is estimated that she will soon stop refusing to participate in human experimentation projects arranged by the organization, which is her way of avoiding her sister being purged by the organization, thinking that this will protect her sister who is colluding with the FBI.
Ha... She still doesn't understand that man enough. Once someone is unfaithful, no matter how valuable they are, that man will never give them a second chance. Besides, given the BOSS's cautious nature...
They must have guessed that Miyano Akemi, who had been dating Moroboshi Dai for several years, wouldn't have noticed that man's suspicious behavior. They probably deliberately covered for him and protected him. Only by completely eliminating this kind of guy who wasn't interested in the organization and had no use to it could the organization avoid greater losses.
Besides, when Moroboshi Dai was exposed, I had to work a lot of extra hours, since I had to erase all traces of the organization's bases that Moroboshi Dai had visited, as well as the transfer of identities of organization members he had come into contact with during his missions, the destruction of strongholds, and so on...
.
In short, for these reasons, Gin had a lot of contact with Sherry. In addition, Vodka would often ask him about Sherry's preferences and gossip, which gave him a fairly good understanding of Sherry's personality.
Knowing that the scene just now was not just a matter of appearance, after all, even if one does not have Vermouth's exquisite disguise skills, one can still use some simple makeup techniques to disguise one's appearance.
However, it is difficult to fake one's habits of speech and behavior all the time. Shirley was a woman who bullied the weak and feared the strong, and was arrogant and pretentious. Perhaps it was because she was naturally intelligent and had the foundation left by her parents that the gentleman had high expectations for her.
Compared to someone like myself who used to work for a mercenary company, and then became a 'cleaner' for the organization after joining, I am a nobody.
Trampled stray dogs can only try their best to climb up.
The mindset of working in an organization with the awareness that failure is absolutely unacceptable, that one failure would mean certain death, is different from the mindset of those who believe that only in this way can they and the "fat pigs" (a derogatory term for piglets) live a decent and prosperous life.
According to the information Vodka gathered, she was treated well in the organization. She was sent to live with wealthy members of the organization in the United States from a young age, and was given plenty of living expenses. She wore all kinds of brand-name clothes and ate all kinds of high-end ingredients.
They attend ultra-elite schools that only prestigious American families and capitalists can attend. Aside from going to school in luxury school buses, they are chauffeured around in luxury cars. I heard they even had one-on-one tutoring from professors at well-known American universities, which is why they graduated with their master's degrees three years ago in the spring...
She was treated like a wealthy American heiress in terms of basic food, drink, housing, and transportation. Despite her outward appearance, she had the arrogant demeanor typical of American heiresses, or rather, she was too lazy to even put on a show.
Before they had code names, they appeared arrogant and calm when dealing with those who had code names, and their words were not too offensive. However, when dealing with the lower-level members of the organization, they would often make sarcastic remarks.
Once she achieved success in her research and development and received an operational codename, which was equivalent to an organizational cadre, her sarcastic remarks became directed at those of them who also had codenames. Those of the lower-level members who didn't have codenames would get slapped if they offended her. She was a bully who picked on the weak and feared the strong, and she was very arrogant.
Well! That's not a big deal. In Gin's view, it's just the usual behavior of those white women in America, using slaps and violence to humiliate and punish others and vent their dissatisfaction. But in the organization, what use is it other than humiliation?
On the contrary, it would only make the other party resentful and retaliate at any time. Taking out the useless guy with a single shot is the correct thing for the organization members to do. Her behavior was the most foolish and useless emotional outburst...
However, recalling his experiences with her on several missions, what Gin disliked most was that Sherry always acted aloof and pretended not to hear anything when they were on missions together.
After they investigated and found out, she sarcastically said that she had already discovered it, and that it was stupid of them to only find out now... This was a typical hindsight bias that he found extremely annoying. They were useless but had a big ego.
In addition, she also likes designer clothes and bags, high-end cosmetics, expensive jewelry, and high-quality flowers, etc., similar to the things that most women in the organization like Vermouth like, and because these luxury goods will cause other women in the organization to have some foolish competitive mentality.
In reality, what she values most is her own 'self-esteem and dignity'. For example, even if she realizes she is being targeted, she would never allow herself to show a disheveled expression or make an unseemly gesture, even in a situation like this.
Even if an unseemly posture is safer, she will still use a more 'elegant' posture to deal with it. Like last time on the roof of the old hotel, she was terrified inside, but on the surface she had to pretend that she didn't care about life or death...
It's that kind of "dignity" that you'd rather die than admit defeat, regardless of right or wrong, always blaming others and never bowing your head. This woman's reaction now is the kind of reaction she'd rather die than show.
Now that it was confirmed that it wasn't Sherry, and that annoying guy in the elevator was clearly meddling, there was no need to continue. With that thought, Gin put away his sniper rifle and used binoculars to observe the situation in Building A of the Twin Towers.
While calling Vodka, I told him to keep an eye out for Shirley among the people coming down from other elevators, including the freight elevator, and not to overlook the front and back doors, side doors, and other exits...
