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

Chapter 413: A young magician? The organization needs such talents
Gin suddenly became interested: "You said someone told you your fortune? Was that person a fortune teller?"

He had seen some fortune tellers before, but since coming to this world of science, he had not seen any more. Now, when he heard Kaito say that someone had actually told his fortune, he couldn't help but feel curious about meeting a 'colleague'.

In a way, 'fortune tellers' and 'feng shui masters' are also alternative practitioners, but the focus of their practice is different from that of practitioners like Gin who focus on themselves.

Unexpectedly, Kaito's answer surprised Gin even more:
"Fortune teller? No, Hongzi said she is a witch. The more formal name is, I think." Kuroba Kaito thought about the name, "I think, Red Witch?"

"...Witch?"

Gin, Retsu, and Hiroki all widened their eyes slightly.

The latter two seemed a little surprised, while Gin seemed more relieved:
Wow, it turns out that this world is really not material... Then he feels relieved.

Judging from their expressions, Kuroba Kaito thought they didn't believe it.

However, he himself was also half-believing and half-doubting, even though he had seen Hongzi perform some strange spells. So he smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, maybe it's a bit exaggerated... and he's not the kind of magician you imagine. He just knows some divination and tricks."

"That's quite normal."

Gin could understand it, and said in a deep tone, "It is probably because the original force in the cultivation system is insufficient, so there is not enough mana to cast spells... After all, now is the end of the law era."

Kuroba Kaito said with big eyes: "Huh? Uncle Ren, do you believe in this thing..."

Gin rolled his eyes and said, "Haven't you also been exposed to the training of the Five-Star Group? The training of magicians and us is essentially the same, and magic is mainly used for long-range or auxiliary purposes. If you can cultivate 'Chi', you can do the same."

“…Is that so?”

Kuroba Kaito continued to make eyes.

"I say, you haven't even read the training documents issued by the organization, right?" Gin squinted his eyes, "No wonder I think your physical fitness is no different from when I first met you."

Kuroba Kaito: "..."

Why do I feel like I lost 100 million?
"Witch..." Gin pondered for a moment, "Where does that person live? How do you know her?"

He felt like Kaito had never reported such a thing.

——And in fact, Kaito never reported it.

"She's my classmate." Kaito touched his nose, "But I don't know where she lives. They say a witch's address can't be known to mortals..."

Gin: "..."

Classmate?

Does that mean this magician is still a child?
Gin's eyes suddenly changed, and he put his hands on Kaito's shoulders and said earnestly: "Kaito... the task of bringing that young witch into the organization is now left to you."

"……What?"

"Organizations need these kinds of weird talents, especially in this non-material world."

Gin narrowed his eyes and said something very philosophical.

But Kuroba Kaito expressed his incomprehension, and said in a silly way: "Ah? Uncle Ren, are you asking me to bring Koizumi into the organization?"

Wouldn't this be a bit bad...

"That's right, it would be even better if we could get the training method." Gin spoke like an old robber.

A witch... should be equivalent to a magician, almost the same as a Western practitioner. Maybe there are things in common that we can learn from each other.

Seeing Kaito's embarrassed expression, Gin simply changed the subject without leaving any room for maneuver: "Well, let's discuss the issue of catching slimes..." Kuroba Kaito was successfully led astray: "I told you it's not a slime, it's Shrek... No, it's Snake! And the one coming this time may not be that guy!"

"It's all the same..."

Gin smoothed Kaito's fur.

"But isn't the organization's goal the gems?" Lie suddenly asked curiously, "But~ the egg of memories is inlaid with glass inside and outside, except for the golden sculptures."

"I know this. I have already learned about it in advance."

Kuroba Kaito scratched his cheek under their gaze and said with a wry smile, "Actually, there should be another egg of memories, but it seems to be placed somewhere else. It is a matching egg with the one collected by the Suzuki Foundation... I saw a person named Kosaka on the Internet who posted half a design draft that was very similar to this egg. He said that he was looking for his ancestors' inheritance, so he planned this action..."

Gin understood what he meant and said speechlessly, "So, what are you going to do after stealing?"

Kuroba Kaito shrank his head and said, "Just give it to them... I think this should be considered something from their ancestors."

"...You are really helpful."

Gin chewed his candy wordlessly.

Although Gin is not very opposed to this kind of thing, he will definitely not support it because it is time-consuming and laborious, and there is no reward at all.

Gin shook his head slightly and did not interfere with Kaito's behavior. He turned to Rei and asked, "By the way, did Noah find out anything about the murderous man you told me about before?"

"...Ah! I forgot~ Wait a minute, let me ask Noah..."

Lie was stunned for a moment, then gave an awkward smile and hurriedly took out his cell phone.

But before he could take it out, Hiroki, who was sitting next to Gin, put down the booklet and said, "No need, Uncle Lie. Noah has already checked. Pu Siqinglan is a pseudonym, and there is no video record of her in any electronic file on the mainland. It is certain that there is a problem."

"Huaguo? Pu Siqinglan?" Gin didn't know what happened in the art gallery. He tilted his head and said, "Is that the murderous woman you mentioned?"

"Yeah, yes, she said 'nihao' to us when we met, and I thought she was Chinese." Lie shrugged and briefly told us what happened in the art gallery, and then said, "But I left a breath seed in her body, as long as she shows up, I will definitely be able to find her."

Gin was noncommittal.

Violent behavior is basic operation.

It is impossible for a normal person to have murderous aura. If there is such a thing as murderous aura, it only means that the other person has killed someone before.

And on the surface he is a researcher of the Romanov dynasty...

"That egg seems to be a treasure of the Romanov dynasty, right?"

Gin suddenly thought of something and said to Hiroki, "Hiroki, ask Noah to check if there is any criminal related to the Romanov Dynasty treasure."

"Okay... Noah said he's already checked." Hiroki was about to convey his message when Noah had already discovered Gin's problem and started investigating online.

Noah's efficiency is undoubtedly amazing.

In less than five minutes, the results of the investigation were relayed to several people through Hiroki.

Hearing the name he found, Gin's eyes sparkled:

"Scorpion... poisonous scorpion?"
