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

Chapter 613 The corpse also hurts

"Mr. James, please contact the members of the observation point again." Akai Shuichi looked at Soran calmly, "Whatever you want to say to Mr. James, it's the same as what you want to say to me."

Soran was silent for a moment.

"Someone is missing."

"……who?"

"Merle, someone from my group."

Soran did not confront Akai Shuichi at this time, and he was able to distinguish the occasion. "He went out for inspection just now... and now his cell phone signal has disappeared."

Akai Shuichi was slightly stunned, "How long has he been out?"

"Less than ten minutes." Soran's voice was a little gloomy.

Their current number of members is only in their early twenties, and every loss means a reduction in number. Moreover, the headquarters is indifferent to their current situation and only gave them an order to 'maintain normalcy' without sending any reinforcements.

For a moment, Akai Shuichi frowned, pinched his chin, and said nothing.

Soran was a little anxious: "Akai, what should we do? You should give me a definite answer! You are the one who said we should evacuate, and you are also the one who didn't allow us to evacuate!"

...evacuate?
Akai Shuichi's eyes lit up slightly, "I see, I didn't think it through just now."

“…Huh?” Soran glanced at him, his voice full of gritted teeth, “I say, you are not kidding us, are you?”

"No, I just completely understood the other party's thinking."

Akai Shuichi smiled.

But this smile made Soran shudder. It was a cruel smile that disregarded life and death and regarded life as nothing. It was terrifying.

Soran suddenly remembered: Akai Shuichi, was once a killer in that organization who killed people without blinking an eye.

"I made a mistake in my previous judgment. The organization doesn't actually have many main force personnel nearby." Akai Shuichi looked out the window, smiling as usual, but with a hint of respect on his face. "But they must have sent snipers to monitor this place after confirming that the communication signal was in this area..."

"Once anyone leaves this area, they will become their prey."

"Even if we know this, it will be difficult for us to escape from this place... The core members of the organization are scarce, but the peripheral members and grassroots members are numerous. It is not difficult for them to continue to monitor us. What's more, the organization is not hiding anything this time and is openly planning to take action against us."

After Akai Shuichi finished speaking, he let out a long sigh.

Soran said nothing, but just took a step back inconspicuously.

He heard Akai Shuichi mutter to himself again: "It seems to be that person, there is no doubt about it..."

Soran paused and asked, "Who?"

"Gin." Akai Shuichi put away his gun. "This arrangement can play with the prey in the palm of his hand, and make the prey afraid to act rashly... It is probably his work."

"Gin?! Is he the key figure in that organization?"

“…Ah, it’s him.”

Shuichi Akai did not tell anyone about the current situation of the organization.

If he told someone about it and someone in the organization found out, the organization would definitely think that it was Kiel who leaked the information.

Soran didn't know what Akai Shuichi was planning, but he started to fantasize in his mind: "So if we can capture the other party, then wouldn't that be..."

Akai Shuichi's expression instantly fell, and he looked at his teammates in silence: "I advise you not to have this mentality, Gin, that person is a monster."

Well, a monster that he couldn't even hit with a single punch.

And I heard that his sniping ability is comparable to his...

Isn't this a proper boss battle?
Shuichi Akai couldn't help but stare at Sauron for a while, then shook his head in disappointment.

No, with the quality of his current teammates, if they really fight with those terrorists like Gin, even a hundred of them will be enough to kill... Well, it seems a bit difficult to save the entire egg basket. Should he sacrifice the pawn to save the king?

Sauron: "..."

He didn't know why he had a bad feeling.

……

In a dark alley.

Gin stood in the shadows, wiping his gloves that were splashed all over his hands. "You're pretty quick, Stella."

He raised his head slightly, and his tone revealed a hint of approval.

Opposite Gin stood two men in windbreakers—Angostra and Anderburgh.

Angostura snorted, "Idiot, Anbu and I have already been nearby. Do you think I would trust you with this kind of mission?"

As he spoke, he stomped his feet on the ground twice.

——Or rather, he stepped on the corpse on the ground twice.

The corpse's eyes were wide open, there was a deep scar on its forehead, and there was also a wound on its neck, which was even bleeding. It just stood between Angostra and Gin, like a river separating Chu and Han.

Gin turned a blind eye to Angostra's treatment of the corpse.

But Anderburg saw this and began to enforce justice with a blank expression: "Stella, he's just a corpse."

Angostura, who was waiting for Gin's reply, was suddenly shocked by his teammate's words. He turned around and glared at him: "So? What happened to the body?"

"He's already a corpse." Anderburg's expression was solemn, "You shouldn't abuse him anymore."

Angostura rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, Anbu, it's just a corpse. What's wrong with me torturing him?"

Anderburg said seriously: "It will hurt."

“…Dead bodies don’t feel any pain.”

"meeting."

"You must be kidding me!"

"If you don't believe me, try stepping on it again."

Angostura stamped his foot indifferently.

Anderburg opened his mouth, expressionless.

"Ah, it hurts."

Angostura: "..."

Gin, who was listening: "..."

Anderburg, who said "Ouch, it hurts" expressionlessly, really looked a little like a corpse.

Weird and creepy.

Vodka standing behind Gin: "..."

Why didn't he get any shots in the beginning? Doesn't he deserve it?

but……

With Anderburger's intervention, the tense atmosphere between Gin and Angostra that occasionally arose was reduced a lot.

"Come to think of it, where were you just standing? I was staring at this guy for a long time but I didn't see you."

Angostura didn't know why he didn't continue stepping on the corpse.

Gin knew his own characteristics and shrugged his shoulders when he heard it. "I have been following him, and he didn't notice me. It's normal that you didn't notice me either."

Angostura snorted. “What the hell! What a minor problem… Unfortunately, this guy’s phone was broken when he was dying.”

"Who told you to threaten me?" Gin smiled coldly, "If I take action first and get the signal locator, I can track it backwards."

He and Vodka had been searching nearby to reduce the target range. Gin was keeping a close eye on the man, but he didn't expect Angostura to be nearby. He came over and threatened this suspected FBI member right under Gin's nose. Finally, as a "loyal subject", Gin couldn't stand it anymore and stabbed the man...

Of course, Angostra actually also took action, one before and one after - the knife mark on the corpse's forehead was caused by Angostra's knife; the knife mark on the neck was caused by Gin's dagger.

And since the other party is active here, it proves that the general direction is correct.

The most important thing next is to wait for the main members of Angostra to arrive and to guard this area so that no FBI can escape.
