Chapter 83 Gin and Li Hua [VIP]
Shinichi Kudo mentally raised an alarm. He was now Cheng You, while Rei Furuya was Bourbon. Was the Black Organization about to make a move against Cheng You?
Why? Cheng shouldn't have any connection to the Black Organization...
Before he could come to a conclusion, Furuya Rei had already walked over and placed the tray in front of Kudo Shinichi: "Mr. Cheng You, this is a honey chocolate cake, a gift from Ms. Suzuki."
Shinichi Kudo: That's absolutely false.
But was there any poison in this cake? Hmm... Does Cheng know Mr. Furuya? Should I reveal my identity?
Rei Furuya stood to the side, his eyes fixed on Shinichi Kudo's disguise.
Shinichi Kudo felt uneasy under that gaze and couldn't help but say, "Alright, I understand. You can go now."
Jiang Guling didn't leave, his eyes constantly fixed on "Cheng You".
Yuichi tugged at Shinichi Kudo's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "Rei Furuya and Cheng You's brother don't get along very well."
Shinichi Kudo understood.
Rei Furuya said, "I need to see you eat it before I go back and explain to Ms. Suzuki." He was very blunt.
Shinichi Kudo's lips twitched involuntarily. Was their relationship really bad? It felt like they were targeting each other.
Is this how poisoning works?
Shinichi Kudo: "I'm eating all by myself?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Furuya Rei picked up a knife and cut the cake into four pieces, giving one piece to Morofushi Hiromitsu, one piece to Kuroba Kaito who was pretending to be Kudo Shinichi, and one piece to Yuichi. The last piece was slowly pushed to Kudo Shinichi.
"I have something to say after I finish eating." After saying that, Furuya Rei looked at Kuroba Kaito, who was pretending to be Kudo Shinichi.
Shinichi Kudo instantly realized that Rei Furuya was probably here to discuss the Black Organization's suspicions about his identity. Without thinking much of it, he picked up his fork and ate some cake.
Rei Furuya frowned as he watched the person in front of him eat the cake so unreservedly.
Isn't that right? Matsukawa Yuki is allergic to honey, while "Cheng You" in front of him clearly didn't hesitate at all.
But they are so similar in some ways.
Or perhaps Yuki Matsukawa lied and that he wasn't actually allergic to honey.
Rei Furuya pursed his lips. Perhaps it really wasn't true. Observing "Cheng You" so closely, he discovered that "Cheng You" and Yuki Matsukawa had many differences. For example, right now, Rei Furuya saw that "Cheng You's" eyes were full of youthful spirit and confidence, lacking the depth and cunning of Yuki Matsukawa.
How could someone be getting younger? It might not be the same person.
After getting the answer he wanted, Furuya Rei waited until they finished eating the cake, then approached Kuroba Kaito, pretending to pick up a plate, but actually whispered in his ear, "Gin is suspicious."
Then he picked up all the plates and slowly left, still somewhat incredulous, but the fact told him that this matter should end there.
Shinichi Kudo, Hiromitsu Morofushi, and Yuichi, who were present, all noticed this small detail. After all, they were so close that they were able to spot it with their keen observation.
They all looked at Kaito Kuroba simultaneously: "What did he say?"
Kaito Kuroba was not as nonchalant as usual at this moment; instead, he was very serious: "He said that Gin has doubts."
Upon hearing this, the other three people present paused, a chill running down their spines.
"..." Seeing their serious expressions, Kaito Kuroba couldn't help but wonder, "That's strange. I've used your identity often before, and I've never been discovered. Also, I can only help you with small things. I don't want to get involved in anything related to that organization."
“It’s different,” Shinichi Kudo said slowly. “I don’t want you to get involved either.”
Previously, when Phantom Thief Kid used his own identity, the Black Organization was unaware. However, once the newspaper published the story, the Black Organization could see it, but the newspaper would state the result: that Shinichi Kudo was Phantom Thief Kid in disguise.
At that time, the Black Organization would never have suspected anything.
But now that the Black Organization has seen Shinichi Kudo with their own eyes, and they are unsure whether it is Kaito Kid in disguise, Shinichi Kudo will inevitably have to conduct an investigation and tracking based on the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free".
"It's my fault. I took the medication too aggressively this time. I completely forgot that the Black Organization would come here." Shinichi Kudo suddenly felt a little remorseful.
Youyi shook her head: "Brother Cheng said he believes in you, that you are very capable and will not let the Black Organization find any flaws."
“Yeah, you’re a famous detective.” Kaito Kuroba patted Shinichi Kudo on the shoulder.
Just as Shinichi Kudo was about to laugh, he suddenly heard Kaito Kuroba add, "Although he's not as good as me, a genius magician."
Kudo: "..."
On the other side, Cheng You had already disguised himself as Li Hua and retrieved from home the half-data USB drive that he hadn't given to the Black Organization at the last exhibition.
The partial data given to Gin last time was genuine; the Black Organization must have examined it upon taking it back, which dispelled my suspicions about Li Hua. This time, the data is partially true, but it contains the core information, and the Black Organization will most likely trust him.
Cheng You didn't need to bother finding Gin and the other members of the Black Organization. After all, someone on the Gray Fox Assassin Dark Network forum had said that the Black Organization was looking for someone every day, and that they were supposedly having a hard time getting along.
As soon as Li Hua goes out for a couple of walks, the black-clad organization will immediately come out and "invite" him away.
Sure enough, Cheng You walked around the perimeter of the hall a few times with the face of "Li Hua," and from a distance, someone said, "Brother Qin Jiu, look at that, that looks like Li Hua."
Gin looked over, and Cheng You also looked over in the direction of the sound. Their eyes met, but one eye held amusement, while the other held ruthlessness after the ice had broken.
Cheng You laughed, beckoned in Gin's direction, and softly mouthed, "Come here."
Gin snapped out of his reverie and led his gang toward Cheng You.
Cheng You couldn't help but smile, thinking to himself: My charm...
As soon as Gin arrived, he raised his pistol and aimed it at Cheng You's temple: "Damn it."
Cheng You took out a USB drive from his pocket and tossed it to Gin nonchalantly: "Don't point a gun at me, we'll be good colleagues from now on."
"What, you want to join?" Gin took the USB drive, examined it carefully, and then plugged it into his portable device to check it.
“It was a promise, I’d join you if we met again. I always keep my word,” Cheng You continued from the side. “Sigh, you’ve really hurt me. We’re so close, and every time we meet you you point a gun at me…”
"Shut up." Gin, unable to bear it any longer, stopped him. He just wanted to send a message to the BOSS in peace and quiet.
Cheng ignored him and instead mingled with Gin's men, chatting enthusiastically with Vodka.
"Ah, yes, yes, that's right..."
"How could this happen..."
"How could Gin... Ahahaha, this is hilarious..."
The group had already come to regard Cheng You as one of their own, and they openly discussed gossip about the Black Organization, especially Gin, with him.
Cheng You remembered the system saying that the mind-reading system would be repaired in two days, so that Cheng You could listen to the thoughts of everyone in the distillery and then share gossip with them.
Gossip can also help Cheng learn more information, even if it's half true and half false.
Gin told the Boss about his reunion with Cheng You, and soon received a message from the Boss instructing him to bring Cheng You into the organization. Gin was to decide on the assessment, and the message said that Cheng You's personality and abilities were exactly what the organization needed.
This kind of personality is extremely eccentric; he's incapable of handling official business, which is why the Black Organization is a perfect fit for him. As for his abilities, how bad could someone be who can take data from a USB drive right in front of the Black Organization and the research institute?
Gin was about to turn around and say something to Cheng You when he saw Cheng You and Vodka and the others squatting there chatting about their gossip.
"Really?"
“It’s true, he treats his car like a lover.”
"A car fetishist?"
...
Gin: ……………
“Li Hua,” he said suddenly.
Cheng You, who was suddenly called over, stood up: "What is it?"
"The BOSS has approved your joining the organization. As for the assessment, we'll hold off for now. Codename: Porter." Gin finished speaking, put his hands in his pockets, and prepared to leave. "Oh, by the way, wait here for Bourbon. Let Bourbon show you around our main bases. I have a mission to complete, so I'm leaving now."
"Okay, okay, take care." Cheng You waved with a smile, and once everyone had left, his smile faded.
I thought I could complete this mission with Gin, but it seems that Gin or the boss of the Black Organization doesn't fully trust me.
That's normal, though; he's just a newbie. Having a codename on his very first day shows the boss values Li Hua highly, and he'll likely have important missions in the future.
However, being with Bourbon is a good thing, but revealing his identity as Cheng You might backfire, since Furuya Rei really doesn't like Cheng You.
Perhaps we should ask Morofushi Kagemitsu to put in a good word for us.
He didn't want to kill each other with Rei Furuya.
Just as Cheng You was about to take out his phone to send a message to Morofushi Hiromitsu, footsteps approached from afar, growing closer until they stopped right in front of Cheng You: "Potter?"
"Bourbon?"
"Hmm, looks like it's you." Furuya Rei's expression was unfriendly. "The first one to get a codename without even taking the test."
"I have plenty of strength," Cheng You said with an arrogant smile.
Rei Furuya: Why not take advantage of the mission to sell him out? We can't let the Black Organization grow any stronger.
