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

Gin's eyes were like a knife cutting through his chest, looking at Vodka sharply, making the latter feel uncomfortable, wondering if he had said something wrong...

"Vodka."

“…Yes! Big Brother!”

"We are loyal subjects of the organization. Do you remember that?"

“Understood!!”

Vodka stood straight and answered confidently.

But he was simply frightened by Gin's cold eyes.

Seeing that his younger brother and driver had calmed down successfully, Gin patted his shoulder with satisfaction, and then pulled him into the dark building...

Don't get me wrong, Gin just took Vodka upstairs to check out the surroundings.

However, the buildings here are not very tall, and the situation on the other side of the base ruins cannot be seen... But similarly, the base that was bombed back before was also in a remote area, and there were no tall buildings blocking the way nearby, not to mention that due to the bombing, a piece of the building over there was empty, and it was quite conspicuous from a distance.

After measuring the distance for a while and spending some time, Gin received a call from Angostra as expected.

"You're in the North District?"

Most of the time, Angostura's tone was full of questions, and this time was no exception.

However, Gin knew that the other party must be very busy today, so he said calmly: "We are here, and we haven't found anything unusual so far."

Angostura's tone did not soften. "Have you arranged all the personnel? Are you sure there are no abnormalities? Where is Akai Shuichito?"

"I, Vodka, Chianti, and Cohen are all here, but we found nothing. It's very quiet here... too quiet." Compared to Angostura's impatience, Gin was very calm. "As for Akai Shuichi, no one saw him appear. Maybe he will show up on his own when the time comes."

"...Do you think he's a world boss that automatically refreshes at a certain time?" Angostra sneered.

Gin's mouth twitched and he shrugged, "If you treat him as the world boss, I have nothing to say."

He seriously suspected that Angostra had been addicted to games recently.

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while.

"Okay, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you anymore. You just stay there and if you see that bastard Akai Shuichi, kill him immediately! And don't kill him, kill him alive!"

"Stella, you make it sound so easy. It's hard to kill him, and you want to capture him alive?"

"Then why don't you send more people? Just go up and fight in a group! A group of people can't beat a silver bullet? Is he a Gundam, a superman, or a vampire?"

"Group fight! There are only four of us. You don't think that bastard Akai Shuichi would stand alone on the ruins and confront us head-on? Are you living in a dream?"

"F*ck! That's why I asked you to ambush the people first!"

"How can I ambush someone without a danger check?"

"Then why don't you change your mindset? You've been working in Japan for so many years and just eating for free?"

"Do you have any shame? Who took all my people away in the first place?"

"..."

Gin and Angostura kept arguing with each other, and in the end they were about to start a quarrel. Even Vodka, who was standing next to them, could hear the voice on the phone.

Feeling the air around him getting increasingly colder, Vodka shivered all over.

Emma, ​​it's so damn cold!

What's worse is that he couldn't understand what his eldest brother was saying. He couldn't even go up to stop the fight. He could only stay trembling on the side, trying to use the telescope to try to scout the area...

After arguing with Angostura for several minutes, Gin hung up the phone angrily, cursed inwardly, and said, "Vodka, let's go!"

Vodka didn't dare to say a word. He quickly put away the flashlight and went downstairs. He didn't dare to ask them where they were going or what they were going to do.

……

Beika-cho, 2-chome. At the doctor's house.

Dr. Agasa unexpectedly received a call from Conan, who was asking him about Haibara Ai's situation.

After running into Vermouth on the street, Conan's plan to visit the doctor at his home to see Haibara Ai turned into a plan to go to Retsu's home to discuss tactical issues with Akai Shuichi. Until just now, the famous detective far away in Osaka remembered to care for his friend who might have problems...

"But, Xiao Ai is out."

The doctor was still biting a slice of bread with jam in her mouth, and her voice was a little vague, "Ah, she didn't run around, it's just that Mr. Lin called her over and said that Hongshu had some questions to ask him..."

"...Hiroki? May I ask Haibara?"

Conan's voice paused for a moment, probably because he was thinking about what questions a great hacker like Hiroki would want to ask Haibara Ai.

Then he realized that Retsu and Hiroki were both people who knew their true identities, and they might just be looking for an excuse to protect Haibara Ai.

Thinking of this, Conan's voice became relieved, but he did not tell Dr. Agasa the truth, "I see. Then, Dr., I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on the situation in Tokyo for me."

"Of course that's no problem... But Shinichi." Dr. Agasa looked a little embarrassed, "Yusaku just called me and told you not to leave Tokyo. I didn't tell him that you went to Osaka.

But he said that, could it be because the organization will be active in other places? Will it be dangerous? "

Conan confidently said on the phone: "Isn't that natural? There is definitely danger, but as long as I'm careful, there will be no problem! That's it for now, Doctor!"

Beep, beep, beep~
Conan hung up the phone very decisively.

The doctor didn't even have time to say "be careful"...

Dr. Agasa put down the phone and looked around the mansion where he was alone. It was obviously not much different from the environment where he worked alone before, but he felt lonely for no reason...

This is the life of an elderly person living alone, right?

...Or, should he adopt a child?
A sudden thought suddenly came to my mind.

Well, come to think of it, Ai is actually pretty good, right? She is obedient and sensible, but she is a bit addicted to the internet...

……

Metropolitan Police Department.

"Quick! Everyone, act now!!!"

Investigation Division Headquarters.

Ginzo Nakamori, who was in charge of the Second Investigation Section, began to command his subordinates with a ferocious look on his face.

"Kaitou Kid will appear at the Tokyo Art Museum tonight! His target is the 'Eyes of the Moon' exhibited in the museum!! There are still three hours until the announced time, those who haven't set out yet, please do so immediately! Go to Level 1 alert!"

"This time, we must arrest that cruel thief, Kaito Kidd!!!"

"..."

Compared to the bustling Investigation Section 2, Investigation Section 1 seemed much quieter.

Inspector Megure looked at his colleagues who were busy working, shook his head, and continued reading his evening paper.

Today is another day of overtime...

Speaking of which, this Kaito Kidd really has a lot of leisure time. He even released a trailer to steal things in the middle of the night. Isn't it obvious that he wants them to work overtime?
I don't know why Nakamori is so excited. If it were him, he would definitely...

‘Dingling bell~’

Before Inspector Megure could figure out what was going on, an outside call came in, forcing Inspector Megure to pick up the phone. "Hello, this is the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division 1—"

"——What!? A bomb!?"

boom!
Inspector Megure stood up with his broad body and slapped the table.

All the police officers currently on duty in the Metropolitan Police Department turned their eyes in this direction.
