Chapter 433
After the group of people returned to Beika Town, Conan Edogawa noticed that there was a one-eyed chef in the Beika Iroha Sushi shop. Moreover, this chef named "Kanenobu Otsuda" and like "Toru Amuro" of the Poirot Café, suspiciously worshipped Kogoro Mouri as his master of reasoning.
To be honest, Conan Edogawa didn't want to compare Amuro Toru, who is a Japanese public security officer, with Kenshinori Oda, but based on the known clues and Sherlock's hint that he seemed to be disgusted, Conan Edogawa felt that this was a clear indication that there was something wrong with Kenshinori Oda.
——But regarding Rum's true identity, even though MI6 had provided them with a lot of intelligence about the Black Organization in the UK before, Conan Edogawa didn't really want to give up paying attention to the other two suspicious persons just because of Sherlock's hint.
"...Ah, it's okay if you don't believe it." Sherlock glanced at Edogawa Conan subtly, lifted his collar, and threw him out in front of Haibara Ai who came with Edogawa Conan, "Go back to Detective Mori first, Lian and that little girl have something to discuss."
"Wait a minute! That's not necessary--" Before Conan Edogawa could finish his words, the door of the H&M office closed just past his nose.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" After the door blocked out Conan Edogawa's voice, Huibara asked John.
"Let's go to the basement." Sherlock let go of the door handle and turned back to look at Huiyuan Ai. "But I hope you won't be so scared that you can't say a word - although we don't have the subjective intention to intimidate you."
Time continues to flow backwards.
As usual, Teitan High School prepared a school trip for its sophomores in the second semester - but the chosen location was not very friendly to Ms. Okita and Mr. Okita, who were still high school students at Teitan High School.
"Kyoto...ha...we went there during the winter vacation..." When Miss Okita heard the teacher's announcement, she lay on the table in despair, and secretly glanced at Mao Lilan who was looking forward to the school trip. "At that time, only the famous detective from Kansai was there, and such a thing happened. If Kudo from Kanto also came back to participate in such a group activity——"
"Okita-souji: You should take a leave."
Okita-kun, who was in another classroom, also sent a message to Miss Okita in despair.
"Okita Souji: Forget about turning a school trip into a crime-solving trip."
"Okita Sakura: I think so too... but if that famous detective really comes back for the school trip, we will definitely not be allowed to take leave, and we may even have to help the detective clean up the mess."
"Okita-souji: ...I think so too."
While Kudo Shinichi was enjoying his school trip in Kyoto - the Moriarty Group pushed forward their plan.
Gin is a qualified tool for Moriarty and others - the silver-haired killer is just as he said to other snipers, he will not care about things he doesn't need to know, and will only complete his tasks according to orders.
——Questioning is unnecessary for organization members, they just need to execute.
Based on this point, Gin never feels surprised that one day he might receive a mission from the BOSS to kill the two mystics, Bermode or Bourbon - although it is necessary to leave some private space appropriately, the BOSS should not be treated with the same attitude as other code members or marginal personnel without code names.
Gin originally thought that Bourbon would die faster, but he didn't expect that the person who would commit suicide first was Vermode, who was closest to the BOSS.
Although Merlot, Gold Rum and Champagne who acted like crazy most of the time were all very mysterious in the organization, these three people were surprisingly very good at knowing how to handle things in moderation. Even though Champagne did something like using a bomb to blow him up without distinguishing between enemies and enemies, Gin still had to admit that Champagne knew how to handle the boss.
——They will not question the content of any mission.
From this perspective, Gin sometimes feels that they are of the same kind - but when he sees any of these three people again, Gin will still feel that none of these three people are normal.
But now none of the three of them are with Gin. The only one with Gin is Vodka, who has stayed with him as his partner since Moran left. And Vodka is now driving, taking Gin to find Rum, who was listed as his temporary partner for this mission.
However, although Gin had long anticipated that the boss would give him the task of killing Vermouth, the timing of this task was still a little late than expected - in fact, when Brandy asked him to arrest someone and hold a meeting to warn the code members in Japan, Gin had guessed that the boss was already preparing to deal with Vermouth.
——After all, although Brandy used that statement to describe Vermouth's status in the eyes of the BOSS, who would want to kill a cat just because it scratched him?
The more realistic situation is that it may be that Vermouth has some very important information related to the BOSS in his hands - the BOSS probably just can't stand having his own safety controlled by Vermouth.
But Brandy told everyone present that Bermode had been caught and interrogated very strictly...
Gin thought that he would hear the news of Vermouth's death in the gas chamber shortly after the meeting - but he didn't expect that it would be several months before he received the task from his boss to kill Vermouth.
This time, the mission specifically required him to merge with Gold Rum first.
But Gin met Vermouth at the meeting point - no, although it looked like Vermouth from a distance, when he looked closer he found that the blonde woman was not the Thousand-Faced Witch Vermouth herself.
"I thought you were tired of this game, Amber." Gin rolled down the car window, held a cigarette in his mouth, and looked up at Rum leaning against the wall. "You knew that the mission this time was to kill Bermode, but you were still dressed like this to cause confusion."
"Of course Vermouth will die." Rum smiled and bent down to meet Gin's eyes. "But the code name 'Vermouth' cannot disappear for the time being - so, which code name will disappear today? Isn't it obvious, Xiaoqin?"
"If you want to pretend to be Vermouth, you can't just pretend to be a face." Gin shook off the ashes and reminded Rum.
"She's not the only actress." Gold Rum approached Gin, "I remember you were quite impressed by the name 'Sebastian Moran' -"
"Gold Rum, if you want to die with Bermode today, I can do it." Gin flashed the muzzle of Berle's gun threateningly, "Let's talk business."
"Call me Irene." Irene slowly straightened up and distanced herself from Gin. "Irene Adler, the name of my new identity - although it will soon become Bermode. By the way, let me take a ride. I'll put on my makeup in the car to save some time."
"Hmph." Gin rolled up the car window, tacitly approving of Irene's behavior, but warned her after she got in the car, "I hope you won't be like Moran."
"Well, even though she played tricks on Holmes just like the Moriarty Group, Irene Adler is just an ordinary actress - the thing you worry about will never happen." Irene sat in the back seat and answered Gin with a smile.
——At least not before the end of your life.
Irene silently added the last sentence in her heart.
Then the gunshots rang out, one actress left the stage, and another actress came on stage.
Afterwards, the task of cleaning up Rum's faction was also handed over to Gin - but before that, the reappeared high school detective became popular on the Internet again, attracting the attention of Rum who was lurking in the sushi shop.
Although the storm was resolved with the help of many parties, everything is still not calm again - at least Rum has not given up the plan to capture Kudo Shinichi, and his intelligence network also allows him to guess some changes in the boss, so Rum is even more reluctant to give up the "cross-age recognition" technology that is at his fingertips.
But Gin's shooting speed won't slow down for any reason.
Therefore, under the pressure of tension, Rum ordered his only subordinate who was out of Gin's reach to dive into the Pacific buoy belonging to Interpol.
"All the chess pieces are already in place." Moriarty smiled and twirled his beard, looking at the very quiet Kudo residence opposite the office, "I really hope to see a gorgeous fireworks——"
"We are still one step away from being fully in place." Louis glanced at Moriarty, the oldest person present, and looked at William, "At least we have to wait until the tea party is over tonight before we can be considered fully in place."
"Louis will go to Kudo's house with me." William tied his tie and looked back at Moriarty. "Even if there is a possibility of hand-to-hand combat, I think those two people are no match for us in close combat."
"Ah... that's only natural." Moriarty waved his hand and turned back to look at the two of them. "After all, it was that 'Jack the Ripper' who taught you the 'self-defense skills and the art of killing'*."
"That being said, we can't take it lightly." Louis frowned. "Although the FBI is a partner of MI6, this group of FBI here has nothing to do with Billy - even if the young detective's parents said that there will be only six people at the tea party tonight including the two of them... Brother William must be careful not to be exposed."
"If they figure out the relationship between the Black Organization and MI6, all our preparations will be in vain—"
"That's why I went to the tea party instead of letting Charlie go with you." William laughed and looked at Louis. "If Charlie went with you, you would definitely be so angry that you would be exposed if you were not careful."
"Just like when we were face to face with him in the train dining car before he died." William sighed helplessly, "Although Louis is very cute, sometimes you are too easy to show your thoughts on your face."
