Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 382 'That One' and the Boss
Because Gin came in quietly, and the three people in the room were already very focused, Gin was not noticed by Kudo Yusaku until he revised another manuscript and put it on the table, and found that the old manuscript that was originally placed there had disappeared.

Kudo Yusaku was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Qin, when did you come?"

Vermouth and Kudo Yukiko, who were sitting on the sofa looking at each other in silence, turned their heads at the same time.

Gin looked up at his watch and said, "Three and a half minutes from the time I sat down."

He noticed the stunned expressions of Kudo Yukiko and Vermouth. They turned to glance at the door that he had already closed, and then turned back to glance at him.

This left Gin speechless:

He was clearly the one being ignored, so why did these people act as if he had come through the wall? Was his presence so low?
While Gin was complaining, he picked up the newly revised manuscript by Kudo Yusaku and started reading it. At the same time, he asked, "Yusaku, what's the sequel to the last book I read?"

"Last time? The book 'Silent Route'?" Kudo Yusaku thought for a moment, "The sequel is in another book, I remember it was 'Detective of the Deep Sea', I'll go get it for you."

"That would be great." Gin's eyes lit up, "Can you also get me the 'Route' book? I've almost forgotten the plot."

"no problem."

Kudo Yusaku silently put down the manuscript.

Anyway, he has almost finished revising it, and he will definitely be able to hand it in tonight... There have been so many miscellaneous things going on recently, and I have to be urged to submit my manuscript, which is really annoying.

Vermouth looked at Gin who was still leisurely reading novels, and felt inexplicably unhappy, "I say, Gin, what on earth do you want to do? And you even deliberately dragged Yukiko over here..."

"I want to explain the situation to you." Gin raised his head, "It just happened that this is where the couple lives, so I chose this place... Besides, aren't you and Yukiko from the same school?"

Fellow disciple?

Vermouth was startled and rolled her eyes. "What else do you know? Just tell me all at once."

"I also know that you have a close relationship with that person. You should be a blood relative." Gin took out a lollipop and put it in his mouth, glancing at Vermouth. "I'm a little confused... How could you agree to join so easily when you have such a close relationship with the organization? Are you just a coward, or do you want to find out my purpose and then tell that person?"

“Oh, you are so suspicious. I have already agreed to join you, but you still suspect that I have other motives.” Vermouth showed a mocking smile, “In that case, why don’t you let me go back to the organization?”

Hearing this, Gin sneered, "If I wasn't so suspicious, how could I be valued by an unscrupulous boss who also has this disease? If you want me to stop doubting you, at least tell me something useful... For example, what is that person's purpose, and where is the core of the organization in Japan?"

Although he has been immersed in the organization for a long time, Vermouth has been in the organization for much longer than him. In addition to her relationship with that person, Gin feels that Vermouth must know something secret, but since she has been in the organization before, Gin has never asked her questions in this regard.

Vermouth's eyes twitched suddenly, and she was a little angry at Gin's self-righteous attitude——

It was clearly him who forced her to come here, and now he made her act like she was begging him, and even asked her to hand in a "letter of allegiance"...

So angry!

Yukiko felt the cold air coming from the front and left of her. She silently wrapped the blanket tightly around herself, pretended that she knew nothing, and drank her coffee in silence.

Gin and Vermouth looked at each other coldly for a long time.

Suddenly, they suddenly restrained their momentum and snorted coldly in unison.

Yukiko was stunned by this tacit understanding.

"You've investigated quite clearly, Gin." Vermouth leaned back on the sofa and took a sip of coffee. "Yes, I am a blood relative of that man. He is my grandfather." Everyone in the organization knows that Vermouth has a close relationship with the boss and that man, but the number of people who know her true relationship with that man, except the boss, can be counted on one hand... at most two hands.

but.

This answer did not surprise Gin. In his opinion, Vermouth was either the daughter, granddaughter, or niece of that person.

Gin raised his chin and motioned for Vermouth to continue.

The latter tried his best to ignore Gin's attitude and took another big sip of coffee resentfully. "However, I don't know where the organization's headquarters in Japan is. I do know where it is in Europe."

"...That's such a coincidence." Gin supported his chin helplessly.

He also only knew where the headquarters in Europe was, not Japan... But the emperor is far away, even if they knew the location of the British headquarters, it would be impossible for them to really attack there.

Vermouth was not surprised that Gin knew the location of one of the headquarters. After all, they first met in Europe.

“As for the purpose… As someone who has been monitoring the production of that kind of drug, shouldn’t you know it very well?” Vermouth suddenly revealed a sneer, “The kind of drug that wants to push humans beyond their own limits…”

"Eternal life? Or resurrection?"

Gin didn't care about the expression on her face. He took the two novels that Kudo Yusaku gave him and started reading while asking.

Belmode: "..."

How on earth is Gin in the mood to read novels at a time like this?

She felt like she was having a heart attack.

“…Let’s count both.” Vermouth took several deep breaths, “However, one is the boss’s purpose, and the other is that person’s purpose.”

After keeping it a secret for a while, she successfully saw that Gin was attracted by her words and his eyes moved away from the novel. At the same time, Yukiko also cast a curious look at him.

Vermouth immediately had the motivation to continue and answer their questions, and she became energetic: "Well, I know that most people think that 'that person' in the organization is the boss, but in fact-"

"That unscrupulous boss is not the same person as 'that one' who has never revealed his true identity. Anyone who is not stupid knows that." Gin rolled his eyes and interrupted Vermouth. "Don't keep us in suspense, Vermouth. Just tell us who the boss is."

Belmode: "..."

She suspected Gin was saying she had a low IQ but had no evidence.

“…What the boss desires is a long life.” Vermouth curled her lips, with a hint of mockery in her eyes, “Maybe the older you get, the more you fear death, especially after so many attempts to no avail.”

Gin could clearly hear the naked sarcasm in her tone.

A thoughtful look flashed across his eyes:

It seems that although Vermouth has a close relationship with that person, she doesn't get along well with the boss.

In addition, through her words, Gin also vaguely deduced something:
The one leading the organization's actions seems to be the unscrupulous boss, not that...
