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

Meeting Karasuma Renya was really beyond Gin's expectations.

And it was totally and completely unexpected.

...But then again, who could have predicted that Karasuma Renya, the apparent mastermind behind this organization, actually lived in the deep mountains and forests of Tottori Prefecture, more than ten kilometers away from his hometown?

However, the other party was so easy to talk to that Gin was a little suspicious.

Gin talked a lot to Karasuma Renya.

Or rather, it was Karasuma Renya who confided a lot of things to Gin... yes, confided.

This is also what makes Gin feel strange.

But he thought about it and felt that he was the one the other party favored, so he barely didn't feel so out of place, but it still felt a little uncomfortable.

...Of course, he had to take seriously what Karasuma Renya "confessed", and he had already made up his mind to go back and talk to Vermouth about it.

They had a very harmonious dinner, and before Gin left, Karasuma Renya made a request -

Buried his two sons.

"A gold rose brooch... a shirt collar with a golden cross embroidered on it..."

With the help of some characteristics told to him by Karasuma Renya, Gin successfully found the corpse with corresponding clothing among the bones.

There was a golden rose brooch pinned on the chest of the shirt. I have to say that the brooch was quite firm. Apart from the fact that most of it was rubbed off, there was not much damage. Gin could still recognize it as a rose.

The other corpse with a golden cross embroidered on the shirt collar happened to be the one that Gin had leaned against the wall when he came in last time.

"You two, I'm sorry."

Muttering something in his mind, Gin carefully lifted up the two corpses, used his Qi to secure the joints to prevent them from falling apart, then slowly moved out of the corpse room and walked upwards.

Of course, Gin brought two pairs of gloves - he was very glad that he had a hamster-type hoarding disorder that made him prepared for any eventuality. Every time he went out, he would bring a bunch of things that he thought were useful but actually didn't need.

For example, there would always be a set of clothes in the box that he had taken up first, so that even if the clothes he was wearing were stained with the stench of a corpse, he could throw them away at will.

...But considering that littering is immoral, Gin plans to burn this set of clothes after he is done, to prevent it from being stained with anything unclean...

Today is another day of mysterious superstition for Gin.

In order to fulfill Karasuma Renya's last wish, Gin chose a Feng Shui treasured spot in the forest after dusk, brought up some larger stones as tombstones, and hastily made two graves.

The only drawback is that there is no coffin...

But Gin is not a professional undertaker anyway, so who cares?

However, considering that one of them was Vermouth's father and could be considered an "employee's family member", Gin still made the two tombstones a little more refined - but in fact, he just added a wreath, and it was even made entirely of leaves.

After relocating the deceased, the next major task was to restore the Dusk Villa to its original state.

Without changing his clothes, Gin returned to the underground space, opened the other door corresponding to the charnel room, and moved out all the piled furniture inside...

That door is almost entirely filled with warehouses.

Although it was not difficult for Gin to move these things, he felt stuffy even though it was cool underground because he was wearing a mask and long sleeves.

"commit a sin……"

Gin reflected on himself once again.

He shouldn't have used brute force.

I think Karasuma Ren'ya was probably hoping that someone would discover the secret passage he left in the annex and come looking for him... and this person should also be related to the organization or the Karasuma family. According to the old man, that was a secret code that only people in their family could understand.

——But no one probably expected that he would run into Gin, such an unreasonable bastard.

It took Gin about an hour to find out what he had done wrong:
A huge vertical bookcase was brought out from the warehouse and used as a wall to block the entrance of the secret passage. Gin also filled the gap with larger stones. Then he piled the other furniture in front of the bookcase in an orderly and random manner, and finally locked the warehouse door...

Well, now I look over here, most of the underground space has become a storage room.

But the effect is also very good.

At least at first glance, no one could tell that this was originally a secret passage.

After locking the iron doors on both sides again, Gin climbed up to the ground in circles.

By the way, he moved the unfortunate skeleton that fell at the entrance of the secret passage back to the morgue. After all, they were all people who had been harmed, so they had to be put in order. When everything was settled one day, he would consider burying these bones.

Those who see have a share.

After finishing the work on the floor, the work on the top floor was much simpler. It was just a matter of re-laying the carpet and gluing back the wooden floor that he had cut. Gin was surprised to find that he had a bottle of 502 in his pocket that had been there for who knows how many years, so he just used it.

After doing all this, Gin could finally go home with a full mind.

……

Silent all night.

The next morning.

When Vermouth arrived at the base without any obstruction, she saw Gin, with panda eyes, sitting on the sofa and yawning, while Vodka, who was always with him, was nowhere to be found.

"Is Vodka on a mission again? I saw he wasn't here yesterday either." Vermouth sat comfortably opposite Gin, picked up the melon seeds and drink on the table and started to eat them, while curiously asking, "You stayed up all night again?"

Gin yawned: "Ah, yes, I don't know what's wrong with Angostura, he gave all the tasks to Vodka...

I didn’t stay up all night, I just came back too late and had insomnia.”

Vermouth raised an eyebrow: "Do you still suffer from insomnia?
By the way, where did you go yesterday? "

Since Gin sent her a message yesterday saying that he had to go out for something, there has been no news from him until she woke up in the morning and saw a new message asking her to come to the base.

Gin paused while picking up the water cup and tried to open his eyelids, "Yesterday...

Oh, before I start, let me ask you, did you receive any news yesterday? For example, from the unscrupulous boss or that person..."

“…No, why are you asking this?” Vermouth looked confused.

Seeing her like this, Gin guessed that the old lady was counting on him to be the messenger, and sighed:
"Fine.

I went to the annex yesterday, the Twilight Annex, and guess what I found?"

Vermouth rolled her eyes and said, "I can't guess. I advise you to speak frankly."

"I discovered your ancestors."

"...?"

Vermouth: Are you polite?
Perhaps it was a conditioned reflex, Vermouth took two seconds to react, and then slowly, her expression gradually became more shocked: "You...are you serious? He's there?"

Gin said sternly: "Japanese people don't cheat Japanese people."

Vermouth's face turned black: "But I'm not!"

Gin nodded in agreement: "Actually, I'm not either."

Belmode: "...?"

Then what do you say?
