Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 10: All three parties surrendered at the same time
A light-hearted remark had no binding force at all, and Gin looked at the oil barrel filled with cement.

"Who is inside?"

"Is this considered a token of allegiance?" Yingsheng shrugged. "But unfortunately, I can't tell you this. Can you change someone? Anyone will do."

Gin sneered, "I don't see any sincerity from you, Suigetsu-kun."

"Don't make me sound so ungrateful. I know that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. You have the absolute advantage." Yingsheng had no choice but to put down his gun.

"The main reason is that I know nothing about you. Just treat me as a little animal under stress."

He waited for three seconds, but the sniper attack did not come.

Gin waved his hand backwards, and even the silhouette of the person on the distant building disappeared.

Yingsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's unexpectedly simple?"

"The organization needs your blood sample for research." Gin said.

"No problem. Do you have the blood collection needle?"

"Someone will deliver it in half an hour."

The air suddenly became quiet, mixed with the moisture from the sea breeze, and even a little sticky.

Yingsheng doesn't like this feeling.

He walked to the edge of the container, unplugged the samurai sword, and inserted it back into the oil drum with great effort. "Can you tell me a little bit about the organization?"

Gin just kept looking at him quietly, "Okay."

The organization was established a century ago and has since developed into a super-large criminal group spread across countries around the world. Its tentacles have spread to various fields such as politics, economy, and culture, and it controls wealth and power that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

Gin's words were brief, but this was the gist of what he said.

Yingsheng was noncommittal, "What do I need to do?"

"I'll notify you when there's a mission, and you'll get a bonus if you complete it. The rest of the time is up to you."

"Oh, how much is the prize money?"

"It depends on the difficulty of the task."

"In that case...does the organization have any extremely vicious targets recently, the kind that makes one feel murderous at first glance?" Yingsheng was quite looking forward to it.

Gin glanced at him and said, "Did you do the attack by unknown forces that the Nican Club encountered during this period?"

"To put it simply, they deducted the fruits of my labor. I thought I would get at least one million that night, but in the end I only got half a million. It was simply inhumane."

Although Kiyoko did not use the money to buy a kimono, she bought life accident insurance for her father.

But if you think about it this way, isn't it even more of a loss? The insurance money can obviously be at least doubled.

It’s all the fault of that damned Nican Society!
Gin didn't understand what he meant, so he decided to investigate it later. "I don't have any targets of this type at the moment, but I'll let you know if I find one later."

"Thank you very much."

Yingsheng thanked him casually and walked to the edge of the pier and sat down on the ground. Under the cold sky was the crystal clear sea. It was only a waning moon, but it was still so dazzling.

"They are already searching the room, the sound is obvious." Qingzi whispered in the headset.

"How credible do you think their words are?" Yingsheng asked.

"Probably more than 70%. I did see uncles and aunts carrying chemical experiment equipment, and I also saw Yingsheng-kun screaming. The police even came to the house for this, but in the end, nothing was done...

correct.

My father seemed to have mentioned when you were making a fuss that you should be sent to a mental hospital, and this may be the reason your uncles and aunts used. "

Is it to give the original owner the name of mania?
Yingsheng shook his head and laughed, he had some ideas.

"Qingzi, wait until the insurance money comes in, then you can move. The relationship between neighbors is actually quite close."

"Okay, this apartment has already been mortgaged."

"How's Kudo's progress?"

"We are still searching for the wires and Mr. Itahara, but we have not found anything else. Kudo-kun still hasn't figured out that Mr. Itahara is actually two different people, and that the wire he secretly installed doesn't exist at all."

"Ha, he can always find out, he just made a mistake now."

"In that case, do you need me to retrieve the bug?"

"You were too suspicious in the past. It's better to be discovered by them. Keep silent and destroy the receiving end together with the signal jammer. The worst case scenario is that they continue to suspect your mother and let her sue." "Understood."

Half an hour later, after getting a test tube of blood, Gin got back into the car and left with the dark blue Dodge Viper SRT that had just arrived.

Yingsheng looked at their car's taillights, leaning against the container and chewing chocolate listlessly. He felt that he was really suffering from hypoglycemia at the moment.

But others obviously don't think so.

Vodka was not sitting in the driver's seat tonight, which was unusual for him. His face flushed with shame and anger.

"Brother, I am useless and I am a burden to you."

"You did a great job."

"What? But..."

"Think of his words as negotiation skills. They are not credible." Gin was silent for a few breaths. "But you also need to practice more. After your injury heals, I will personally teach you."

Vodka's eyes lit up and he nodded heavily.

"Okay! Big brother!"

"Chianti, were you sure you could hit the target before?" Gin continued.

"Thirty percent." The female voice in the headset sounded a little annoyed.

"Oh, so..."

"We lost."

Yingsheng's back slowly slid down from the container, and he sat on the ground, letting out a long breath. "I'm dying of suffocation after holding on for so long. If they had dragged it on any longer, I would have thought I'd been seen through."

"I didn't lose!"

Chianti said unwillingly: "I don't believe his reaction can be as fast as a sniper rifle. Gin, you are wearing a bulletproof vest. After he uses up his bullets, you can suppress him and shoot him!"

"If you lose, you lose."

Yingsheng smiled and said, "My body is really not that good, and the consumption of martial arts is too great. I lost a lot of energy tonight, and I need to eat twice as much tomorrow night."

“Chianti…”

"Kiyoko..."

Under the pitch-black night sky, Gin and Hotaru spoke almost at the same time.

“Never make excuses for failure, that’s for the weak.”

“We only need to think about one thing, how to succeed next time and how to become stronger!”

[Killing Intent +2]

[Love +1]

Yingsheng grinned and forced himself to stand up. "Qingzi, the follow-up of the insurance money tonight is left to you. Can you do it? I have to go get a good sleep."

"Good night, Hotaru-kun. I'll prepare a super-large bento for you."

"Steak, steak, and steak."

"Absolutely."

The communication was disconnected. Qingzi tilted her head slightly, looked at the waning moon in the sky and smiled faintly.

Hotaru-kun...is he in the process of secondary development?

She didn't care at all whether what that strange organization said was true or not, and she knew Yingsheng didn't care either.

As long as they have the present, it is enough.

"I see!"

There was finally progress in the other eavesdropping channel, and Kudo Shinichi's voice was very excited.

But after a moment of hurried footsteps and a long silence, his voice became low and complex again.

"The evidence is gone, Officer Megure. I... lost."
