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

Chapter 424: Five-Star Group National Newcomer Unified Assessment Questions
In a bar in Toriya Town.

There were only three...four people sitting around a table in the empty bar.

There is a small plate in front of each person, with some food residue on it.

"I have a general understanding of what you said before, but as long as we don't know who it is, it's not a good idea to alert the enemy, even if it's just a suspicion."

Gin was sitting in his seat biting a lollipop, with Vodka on his left, Rei Furuya on his right, and Vermouth opposite him.

There was not a single waiter in the bar... at least no one was alive. A bartender who was lying on the bar had a broken neck and his blood was all over the table. He was obviously not alive.

The instigator was still sitting at the table and talking:

"But Bourbon has already identified one, right?" Vermouth shook his empty wine glass, "The big shot in the police department..."

Gin snorted, "At best, he's just a pawn, not a big fish with connections to the organization... but maybe he can be used."

Fūya Rei on the side raised his head and asked, "Do you need my help with anything?"

"You? You just need to find a way for your public security department to catch the people from that organization. It's not impossible to ask the FBI for help, but there's no need for anything else." Gin glanced at him calmly, "After all, we are just sharing intelligence now. We don't want to have any intersection with the public security department in other aspects."

The Five Star Group’s position must be made clear.

At present, they are just another criminal organization. If they have any connection with the official organization, they may end up in the same situation as the winery.

The Black Organization is not a role model in Gin's mind, even though it has almost sidelined some of the top leaders in various sectors in Japan.

And the Five Star Group is not just a simple criminal organization...

Gin couldn't help but think of the original intention of establishing this "small" organization, and his eyes darkened.

The original Five-Star Group consisted of only five people, and it was just a small intelligence station they used to make a living.

But, things are unpredictable.

Gin sighed and looked up at his hand: "Oh? It's almost twelve o'clock."

“…Ah, it’s really this late.” Vermouth also checked the time and raised an eyebrow, “Well, it’s about time to go, right? What are you going to do with this place?”

She pointed to the bartender who was pouring wine at the bar.

Gin glanced at it calmly: "It exploded."

This place is the organization's base. Since they used this place and called Bourbon here, and revealed their undercover identity, the people inside must not be allowed to stay.

Destroy the body immediately.

but……

"You did a lot of meaningless things this time. If you change the location, wouldn't you be able to avoid the trouble?"

Vermouth tilted her head in confusion.

"What's the big deal?" Gin grinned. "I just found a traitor who was collaborating with the enemy, so I killed him... I'm afraid the person who was monitoring me is also busy now, so you can give any excuse you want."

Vermouth was speechless: "Okay."

She now knew that the unscrupulous boss had sent someone to monitor Gin, so she was surprised that Gin had openly called the undercover agent over to communicate with her this time...

Gin said something unclear: "But if you don't mind the bloody corpse, you can stay here."

Vermouth and Furuya Rei were both stunned: "What?"

'Snapped! '
Gin took out a stack of papers from his wide pocket and slapped them on the table, then looked at Vermouth steadily: "Exam, you haven't taken the formal assessment since you joined the organization."

…'Snap'!

Vermouth lost control of the straw in her mouth, and the straw fell to the ground as her mouth opened and closed slightly.

She opened her eyes wide: "The assessment you are talking about is... a written test?"

Are you kidding? It's been a long time since she last did any questions in the organization!
"Of course it's a written test, as well as a martial arts test and other professional tests." Gin felt that Vermouth was making a fuss. "But you can basically pass the martial arts test, and I guess no one is more professional than you in terms of professional skills. So isn't the only thing left the written test?"

After that, he rummaged in his pocket again, took out a pen, pencil and eraser and gave them to Vermouth. "The blank spaces on the test paper can be used as drafts. Start on time at twelve o'clock."

Today is the organization's all-staff assessment day. Members of all professions will receive a bag of test papers today.

And in order to avoid conflicts with working hours, the time when most people take lunch break was chosen, which is really very humane.

Vodka: "..." So the organization requires an exam? Why has he never taken one?

Jianggu Ling: "..."

Why does Gin's organization seem so interesting? Should he join them to keep Matsuda and Keimitsu company?

Belmode: "..."

She had a lot to complain about but didn't know where to start, so she just swallowed it all down. She glanced at the time that was less than ten minutes long and took a deep breath.

"Then let me ask first... what is the test about? What score is required to pass? What happens if you fail?"

Seeing that Vermouth's questions were on point, Gin showed appreciation: "The content is not difficult. After all, yours is an entry-level test, which is basically basic knowledge. With your knowledge, it should be no problem to pass... It's okay if you fail, at most you will be demoted to a low-level member, the kind who does nothing but moving bricks."

When he said the last sentence, Gin smiled with a hint of gloating.

Belmode: "..."

If anyone dares to ask her to move bricks, she will just switch jobs and go back to the winery! Who is afraid of who?

Vodka: "..."

I'm kind of glad I didn't take the exam.

Jianggu Ling: "..."

The competition seems so fierce. I’m a little worried about my friends.

Gin was considerate enough to let Furiya Rei leave first if he had anything to do, but since the latter was curious about the content of the exam, and seeing that Gin had no intention of forcing him to leave, he went to Vermouth together with Vodka.

As soon as twelve o'clock arrived, Vermouth opened the cover of the test paper under the gaze of six people.

I saw a few big words written at the beginning of the first page of the test paper:

【Five-star group newcomer national unified examination paper (20##)】

There is also a line of small words written below: Confidential before activation.

Further down there is a series of 'friendly' reminders, which are nothing more than that you must follow the rules during the exam or else there will be serious consequences.

Belmode: "..."

Is this definitely not classified information?

She turned to the next page suspiciously.

Originally, Vermouth had high hopes for what Gin meant by "simple", but when she saw the first question, her blood pressure suddenly rose.

[01.'The sun rises in the east but never sets, the river surges but never stops', what does it mean?

A. The United Kingdom;

B. Japan

C. Kuafu chasing the sun
D. Don’t know]

Vermouth fell into deep thought.

Vodka and Bourbon, who were watching nearby, also fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Vermouth raised her head expressionlessly, "Gin, are you sure this is a test question for newcomers?"

"Don't cheat anyone." Gin crossed his legs.

"Then why is it all in Chinese?" Vermouth questioned with a dark face as he picked up the test paper.

Gin glanced at it calmly and said, "Oh, because this test paper was printed for use in China, I asked Xie to print an extra copy and send it over."

Vermouth rolled her eyes: "...What if I don't understand?"

Gin generously waved his hand and handed her a copy of "Basic Chinese Handbook":
"I allow you to cheat this time."

Belmode: "..."

Gin was definitely trying to embarrass her on purpose! Absolutely!
