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

Chapter 528: Probably a Mistake

"Gin, when did you come here?"

……

Gin silently watched Anderburgh drag Angostura behind him, like a man protecting his child, and raised his eyebrows: "It's been a long time, since this guy started eating the fourth dessert."

Angostura: “……?”

Anderburg: "..."

The two of them were stunned for a moment.

Angostura, who was called to have a snack, aimed the knife at Gin again, his tone full of ferocity:

"Shit! So it was you who was in the restaurant before... I'm telling you, are you crazy? You even hired a sniper to deal with me. Believe it or not, I will recruit all your people! Huh?"

"If you really have the ability, just take it." Gin cast a disdainful look with his crescent eyes, and then took a knife to cut off a small bunch of hair that was pierced by the bullet.

I have to say that Anderburg's shooting skills are really accurate.

When the two of them were moving at high speed, he was able to aim right at the gap between them...

but.

Gin suddenly showed a sly smile: "But, Stella, you seem to have made a mistake."

"What?" Angostura continued to glare. "Aren't you here to cause trouble?"

"I'm here to pick a fight."

Gin had no intention of denying this and shrugged, "But, I didn't find the sniper."

Angostura was stunned. "Not you? Then..."

Is there really someone targeting them?
"But that guy was originally coming for me." Gin pinched his chin, his eyes were cold, but his voice sounded a little happy, "It's interesting that he could see me..."

——Today, Gin wore ordinary casual clothes again, which was why he was not discovered along the way with Angostura.

Gin originally came here to use this trait to play with Angostura, but...

He never expected that he would be targeted by a sniper as soon as he arrived near Shibuya.

At first, Gin thought it was an illusion. After trying several times, he finally confirmed that the other party was aiming at him.

Gin felt regretful but also a little excited that the sniper was not affected by his reduced presence.

Because in a sense, this is one of his weaknesses... As he once said to Chablis, if you want to kill him, you probably have to use a sniper from a thousand meters away.

This is indeed not just a joke, but the result of Gin's judgment based on his own experience.

In fact, six hundred yards away was basically beyond his immediate perception range. Even if someone pointed a gun at him with murderous intent, he would not be able to sense it...

Only in this case can long-range attacks be effective.

However, for most people, 600 yards is the limit of their sniper range.

In front of Gin.

When he heard that they were coming for Gin, Angostra's face suddenly turned black and he pushed away his teammates who were blocking him. "Fuck! Gin, they are coming for you, and you dare to expose us?"

Report, he must report to the boss!

He suspected that Gin and those people were working together to kill him!

"Don't talk nonsense. When did I expose you?"

Gin smiled coldly, "I followed you the whole time, and that guy must have noticed it. Although I don't know which side he is on, but... do you think he will think you are on my side?"

Anderburg nodded. "I see... Was the missed shot intentional?"

"……what?"

Angostura's eyes twitched, and he understood what they meant, but his face was still full of a 'are you kidding me' expression: "No, those people, do they think Gin wants to kill us?"

Did he miss the target intentionally to alert them of the danger?

How could this fool be so funny! Gin said seriously, "It's actually true."

Angostura turned his head. "What?"

What answered him was the dark and cold tip of the knife.

"Gin!!! Are you sick!!!"

……

Ward Hotel.

Located at the junction of Shibuya and Haido-cho.

A man with a knitted hat on his head, carrying a huge guitar bag, with a haggard look on his face, returned to his room in silence.

——To be precise, it is not entirely his own.

Because this was a huge private room, there were several other people inside.

"Akai-kun, are you back?"

Hearing the noise, old man James, who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, looked up and greeted kindly.

"Ah, I'm back."

Akai Shuichi responded dryly, and then put the other bags near the counter on the inside.

In addition to James, there were two other people in the room - Judy and Soren.

Soran was sitting on the bed with a computer. He only glanced at Shuichi Akai when he came in, and then continued to stare at the computer, probably looking up some information.

Judy happily went to make a cup of coffee, "How's it going, Xiu? Anything going on in Shibuya?"

"...Thank you." Akai Shuichi took the coffee and sat on the sofa, opposite James. "There is an unexpected surprise in Shibuya."

"Oh?"

James put down the newspaper. "Any exciting discoveries?"

After a brief pause, Akai Shuichi touched his chin and said, "Of course, this may not be good news for you... Well, I found Gin."

As he spoke, he looked out the window with a complicated expression.

It had only been a month or so since Mingmei's incident...but he felt like several years had passed.

If he hadn't accidentally discovered that man today, he would probably have completely forgotten his hatred.

Fortunately, he now remembered some of his obsessions.

James' expression changed slightly after hearing this, "Gin? Was he your direct superior in the organization?"

"It's him." Akai Shuichi came back to his senses, his expression was calm, and he nodded, "He seems to be following someone."

"What's the result?" James asked quickly.

Akai Shuichi was silent for a moment, "I fired the gun to warn those two people."

"…Then, what is the other party's purpose?"

"...Oh, well, I guess it doesn't have any purpose."

Akai Shuichi's expression returned to the vicissitudes of the times when he just returned here. He looked up at the fire-fighting equipment on the roof, hesitated for a while, and still didn't light a cigarette. "Based on the behavior of those two people, I guess they have discovered me a long time ago."

A question mark appeared above James' head, "Wh, what do you mean?"

Why is Akai-kun still talking so incoherently?
"What I mean is." Akai Shuichi took a sip of coffee and sighed, "Gin and the two people he followed...maybe they are in the same group."

He was actually wondering at the time why Gin would follow the same target for so long... and he was wearing clothes he had never seen before, which were too casual.

He reasonably suspected that Gin was carrying out an ulterior mission with his companions.
