Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 236: Team Zero is very strong, but unfortunately someone is always watching here

"Mr. Furuya, what's going on?"

Yuya Kazami was woken up from his deep sleep. He was a little depressed at first, but when he saw the caller ID, he immediately perked up.

Something big must have happened for this boss, who usually pays great attention to keeping a secret, to contact him directly on the phone so late at night.

It was as he expected.

"A big change has happened to the organization. Gin is seriously injured, Shirley escaped, and Vermouth is suspected of betrayal. At Aoyama Pharmaceutical Research Company in Beika-cho 2-chome, you should quickly investigate the information and see what happened there tonight.

If we gather more people immediately, we may be able to capture Vermouth alive!"

Amuro Toru's tone was hurried, but the joy of seeing hope contained in it could not be concealed in any way.

When Yuya Kazami heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. Mr. Fūya had been undercover in the Black Organization for so long, and finally there was a major breakthrough!

The call was on hold, and Kazami Yuya immediately used another phone to call his superior. The person on the other end probably had the same thought process as him and answered the call quite slowly, but his tone was completely clear when he asked the questions, and it was very urgent.

Yuya Kazami quickly relayed Toru Amuro's words, and the other party contacted other subordinates without hanging up the phone. At the same time, there was a sound of someone putting on clothes.

The Zero Group where Toru Amuro is located is very special. In terms of working hours, everyone works 24 hours a day, all year round. Everyone acts very quickly, and information quickly reaches Toru Amuro's ears like a string of candied haws.

Just as he had heard on the phone before, Qingshan Pharmaceutical Company had accidentally caught fire at this time, and firefighters were doing their best to put out the fire, but the fire was too fierce and it was of little use.

Another unexpected and key piece of information is that about an hour ago, a family in Shizuoka Prefecture reported that a strange thing had happened.

The male owner of the house was attacked and fell to the ground by his own student over a trivial matter. No one noticed it at the time, and the student had no intention of calling the police to surrender himself. If everything continued to develop as it did, the male owner of the house would definitely die.

As a result, a strange man wearing a mask and holding a gun broke in, looking for some magnetic disk, and accidentally broke the scene, giving the male owner a very critical chance to rescue.

The man also left a message saying: He is Shirley's friend.

Shirley!

When this group of people heard the news, they immediately became uneasy, and Toru Amuro discovered a key point. He said in a deep voice in a dark corner:
"I just eavesdropped on the conversation between the person who looked like Vermouth and Itakura Taku. One of the things they said was that Itakura Taku wanted to decipher a floppy disk!"

"!!!"

Countless people on the other end of his phone were shocked, and Feng Jianyu hurriedly said:
"Mr. Fūya said before that Vermouth was suspected of betrayal. Was she the one who helped Shirley escape?"

"Vermouth can disguise herself, and is deeply trusted by the organization. If she is used as an insider to contact other people, it is not impossible." Amuro Toru pondered for a few breaths, his eyes sharp, "Akai Shuichi!

Shirley and the others may be working with the FBI. Are there any cases involving Americans tonight?"

In fact, when this was said, Toru Amuro himself felt that it was a bit outrageous. Vermouth and Akai Shuichi were mortal enemies, so how could they possibly join forces?

But according to his secret investigation, Vermouth and Shirley should be mortal enemies. It is possible that the two of them will cooperate, so it seems not completely impossible that Akai Shuichi will be added. It is not impossible for enemies and friends to change.

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, the person actually gave a positive answer:
"Three suspected foreigners died in Mihua Central Park tonight. They were all armed with guns, but no identification documents were found. Their identities are still unknown."

"They're dead?"

Amuro Toru frowned slightly. What does this mean? Did Vermouth and the others contact the FBI and then rob each other? No ID was found on them... "!!!"

A bad guess suddenly flashed through his mind, and Amuro Toru asked hurriedly: "Have the faces of those people been destroyed?"

"Yes, it is beyond recognition and totally unrecognizable."

"Sure enough! It must be like this!"

Amuro Toru said in a deep voice: "Vermouth can disguise herself. She took away those people's IDs, most likely to replace their identities. If those people are FBI, their companions know their actions, Vermouth may not be able to sneak in, but other places..."

bang——

There was a slight sound of a door closing next door. Toru Amuro quickly leaned in front of the peephole to take a closer look, and saw the woman in the red dress he had seen before walking towards the elevator in the corridor with Itakura Taku, who looked relieved.

Huh?
Toru Amuro suddenly felt that the woman's profile looked strangely familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.

But it was just a moment, and he thought it was another disguise of Vermouth, and didn't think about it. He even had a thought in his mind: Could this be the face of one of the dead people in the FBI?

He whispered his guess to the other end of the phone, and added: "In my conversation with Itakura Taku, I found that he seemed to have a sense of justice and was reluctant to develop a software, but had to do it for some reason.

I accidentally met Tequila, a code-named member of the organization, here before. His attitude was very rude. I think the organization must have threatened his life for developing software.

If Vermouth lured him by claiming to be from the FBI and said he would take him to the United States and provide him with witness protection, he might agree. "

The superior on the other end of the phone thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. We already have people there and can start the arrest at any time. Zero, this operation will be under your command, please."

"understand!"

As soon as the elevator started to descend, Toru Amuro immediately left the room and ran towards the fire escape, moving down the stairs quickly like parkour.

When he finished running these seven floors and arrived at the first floor, he saw that the elevator had only reached the third floor. This made him feel relieved and he quickly hid in the dark.

At the same time, three of his teammates from Group 0, whom he contacted while going downstairs, also entered the lobby on the first floor and hid behind the reception desks of various potted plants.

Ding--!
The elevator arrived at the first floor and the door slowly opened. Everyone was holding their breath, looking forward to it.

There's no one inside!
Oops!

It was discovered!

Toru Amuro's heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of a military green light flashing in from the corner of his eye. He quickly turned the muzzle of his gun, but before he could get a clear look, he heard a loud bang in the air, and thick white mist instantly spread out!

not good!

It's a smoke bomb!

Moreover, the effect of this smoke bomb has been obviously enhanced, and it spreads very quickly, covering the entire area in almost the blink of an eye.

The members of Group Zero were all elites and they quickly covered their mouths and noses, but just a second later, gunshots were heard.
