Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 264: Interrogation of Toru Amuro, the escape of Hotaru and Lan Ai!

"You prepare the medicine first, inject him, wake him up and torture him, that's all."

Yingsheng walked to the wooden cabinet against the wall, took out a raincoat and a gas mask from the cardboard box on top and threw them to Xiaolan, then took out a walkie-talkie and threw it to Haibara Ai.

"Xiaolan and I are the executors and we don't talk."

Yingsheng pointed to the shelf at the door and said, "Xiao Ai, you just stay behind there. Make a small hole in the newspaper and watch the interrogation from here. Aren't you going to provide evidence for Mizunashi Rena? You can decide which questions to ask first and which ones to ask later."

He took out a camera from the box and glanced at the album: "There are some photos of Toru Amuro in here, including him being hung here. Can you send them to Rena Mizunashi? Do we need to record the next interrogation?"

Huihara Ai shook her head: "There's no need to go into such detail, so as not to involve her too deeply."

Although the environment here is simple, Haibara Ai has her own world in her mind. Various drug data are constantly combined and matched in her mind. Soon, she prepared a little Ai version of truth serum with limited conditions, and injected it into Amuro Toru's arms that were tied tightly behind his back.

The height is just right.

After waiting for about five minutes for the drug to take effect, Haibara Ai retreated to the shelf. Hotaru took out the smelling salts and poured a little into Amuro Toru's nose. After just a few breaths, his body began to tremble slightly, and the amplitude became larger and larger.

Yingsheng quickly stepped back. Although he was wearing a raincoat, it was not good to be splashed with blood.

He had just stepped back one meter when Toru Amuro's body twitched violently.

I have to say that Toru Amuro's core strength is simply top-notch. Even in that posture, the sudden contraction of his abdomen can lift his upper body high. Combined with his dark and red face at this time, he looks like a half-cooked braised prawn.

His hair was like a brush, leaving a long streak of blood. There was no one in front of him, and the blood spots were only scattered on the empty concrete ground. The smell of blood in the air was even stronger.

Yingsheng shook his head helplessly. He guessed that Hanayei hoped to create psychological pressure on Amuro Toru in this way, but in fact there was no need to do so.

He glanced at the dead dog in the corner. Could it be that this blind beast just barked at her twice and she killed it?
That's really bad luck.

Da Xia Amuro Toru maintained his contraction in the air for a few seconds, and his body seemed to suddenly lose all strength, and he fell heavily, and another burst of blood spurted out.

Yingsheng suddenly felt a little regretful. Why didn't he take the basin of blood away before? Now the upside-down figure was still swaying restlessly, and he didn't want to get close to it.

Fortunately, it didn't take too long before his movements gradually became slow. The exposed muscle lines were sometimes tense and sometimes relaxed, which was very uncoordinated.

Only then did Yingsheng walk around to the front of him and looked down at Amuro Toru's head from above.

Maybe it was because of the angle, and the fact that his face was now covered in blood, Yingsheng inexplicably felt that this person was a little strange.

But Huaying hoped that he had deliberately confirmed beforehand that he was not in disguise, and it was undoubtedly Amuro Toru himself.

Yingsheng slowly moved his face closer and saw more details. His face seemed to be twitching uncontrollably. His eyes should be staring at Yingsheng, but his pupils seemed abnormally dilated and his gaze was wandering, like an old camera that couldn't focus.

His eyes should be chasing some light and shadow that only he can see.

Firefly thought.

He just saw that Xiao Ai's medicine was based on LSD, and Yingsheng was quite familiar with this hallucinogen.

That's probably enough.

Yingsheng tapped the intercom on his chest.

"Name."

The voice of Haibara Ai came from the intercom, and it sounded deliberately cold.

However, the only answer she got was a short and strange laugh, and his eyes were opened to the limit. It didn't seem like he was responding to the question at all, but rather that he saw an non-existent figure in the air and was greeting him.

Yingsheng looked in the direction he was looking, but of course there was nothing there.

He shrugged, looked on the ground, found a wooden thorn, picked it up and walked behind Amuro Toru, pinched his left index finger, inserted the wooden thorn into the gap between the nails, and accompanied by a sudden scream, slowly increased force and penetrated deeper.

Hotaru was not sure about Amuro Toru's original willpower, but at this time his brain's higher-level thinking was suppressed, and he could only follow his instincts.

Therefore, the scream seemed to carry a hint of instinctive wildness, echoing in the empty warehouse, inexplicably like a wounded lone wolf.

Noticing that Xiaolan's eyes were trembling slightly and her face was probably turning pale, Yingsheng completed the task in one go, inserted the wooden thorn to the bottom, walked away, and raised his hand to let Xiaolan go up.

Xiaolan subconsciously wanted to shake her head, but under Yingsheng's calm gaze, she still hesitated and stepped forward.

Without waiting for her to take action, he saw that Huibara Ai's screaming had stopped a little and immediately asked again.

"Name."

Yingsheng hurriedly walked to the front of Amuro Toru, squatted down, and paid attention to his expression. He saw that his lips were trembling constantly and his dilated pupils were full of struggle.

"Name."

Haibara Ai's voice was still cold.

Finally, as if he was gritting his teeth, or as if his throat was no longer controlled by his will, he finally slowly uttered a few words.

"Bourbon, bourbon."

Nice is the name of a wine.

Yingsheng's mood improved a little, but he still wanted to say that this was a code name, not a name.

But Haibara Ai didn't seem to care about this and asked the next question.

"age."

Emmm...

Yingsheng felt that Ai was probably just like him, not having much experience in torture. Was this what the opening interrogation should be like?
Maybe, he doesn't understand anyway.

"Twenty-nine."

And Toru Amuro answered this kind of question very quickly.

After that, Huiyuan Ai asked questions related to the winery. From this, Yingsheng learned that Amuro Toru belonged to the winery intelligence team, his direct superior was Rum, and his colleagues were two code-named members, Curacao and Binga, and their appearance characteristics were...

Huihara Ai didn't ask.

She did not dig deep into the personnel situation of the winery, but changed the subject and asked Amuro Toru how many crimes he had committed and how many people he had killed, and asked him to tell her everything.

Yingsuo guessed that Ai must have called Mizunashi Rena and asked her to hear with her own ears what solid evidence and heinous crimes were.

By the way, it's already 11:30 pm, and the reporter on the other side is really dedicated.

Well, it is big news after all.

What Hotaru wants to find out the most is the true origin of Amuro Toru. Judging from his struggle with his own name, "Amuro Toru" is probably not his real name.

Later, when Ai asked questions about the winery, although Toru Amuro was still hesitant and struggling on some points, he finally answered them all.

Yingsheng guessed that he might have used the information about the winery as a pawn in order to hide his true identity.

It seems that his willpower is definitely extremely strong, which is really admirable.

Yingsheng silently gave him a thumbs up, and thought that the fact that Amuro Toru was able to hide his true identity in this situation was also related to the direction of Ai's questioning. He would have to pay attention to this in the future, and ask about the armed helicopter at the beginning.

He was so arrogant that he opened fire and shot people with heavy machine guns in Tokyo. How could this have nothing to do with Yokosuka?

However, the person is already in hand, so there is no need to rush. Yingsheng stood aside, thinking about what to do next, while listening to Amuro Toru explaining his sins.

Wow, so many people were killed.

They can also snipe. Isn't it difficult to train such a thing? But they are so worthless in the winery. They are indeed a powerful dark organization.

Hey, there's no need to go into such detail about headshots.

You talked so much in a psychedelic state. Could it be that that experience left a very deep impression on you?

The target is a girl with leukemia. She discovered her father's deal with the winery and persuaded him to turn himself in. Her father agreed to his dying daughter's request, but the next second after he dialed 110, bang!
A rapidly spinning bullet pierced through the eyebrows of the girl on the hospital bed!

The enormous force caused the head to explode in the air instantly, and the father who was closest to her was covered in red and white!

110 has been connected and asked him what happened.

After a long moment of stunned silence, "Pah--"

The phone fell!

A tear of blood silently flowed from the corner of his eye. That was his daughter's life which was already a little bit left!

Toru Amuro described the sniper attack that happened four years ago in great detail, including that his father's home had actually been eavesdropped by the organization during that period, and that Gin and Vodka were standing on both sides of him, watching the show with binoculars in their hands.

It also included that the organization spared the father's life in order to continue cooperating with him, but he hanged himself that night.

He did not try to comfort himself, but Yingsheng could hear his pain and helplessness.

He had no choice at that time.

Yingsheng sighed inwardly, being an undercover agent is really a fucked-up job, no good person can withstand such torture.

Amuro Toru has a deep memory of this incident. Perhaps it is because his hands are so clearly stained with the blood of sin that he knows there is no way back.

Thinking about the purpose of various countries sending undercover agents to the winery, Yingsheng felt that it was not worth it for Amuro Toru. If he finally knew that his years of hard work were just to extend the life of some old guys, he didn't know whether he would have a mental breakdown.

Tsk.

No matter which organization is behind Mr. Amuro, they are all a bunch of insects.

In some of the missions that Hotaru did in her previous life, she played the same role as Amuro Toru is now, and she can empathize with him.

The only difference is that he is just Xuantian's tool and doesn't care about those things.

But Toru Amuro is a good person and he cares.

Yingsheng was unhappy for a while, and noticed that anger gradually grew in Xiaolan's eyes, and finally slowly calmed down. When he saw that Amuro Toru's eyes became cold and calm, his mood improved a little.

After hearing about such a crime, even if Xiaolan were to torture him, I'm afraid she would not show mercy.

It was a really good reality education.

After this unforgettable crime, Amuro Toru described his subsequent crimes in a much more concise way, probably because he had made up his mind and knew that he could not turn back, so he simply stopped hesitating. His simple way of narrating made Xiaolan and Haibara Ai feel even colder, thinking that he had completely lost his humanity and had become a demon on earth.

The time of the crime kept extending from the past to the present. Yingsheng had always treated it as a story and was indifferent. However, when he heard that the winery's actions actually involved a member of the Japanese Senate, he raised his eyebrows.

What if this scares Miss Mizunashi Reina and she doesn't dare to report it?

However, since Haibara Ai remained indifferent, Hotaru did not express any objection. After all, Mizunashi Rena was the person she was looking for.

Anyway, there's no chance of really finding Miyano Akemi for this kind of thing, so just treat it as a way to entertain her.

"Big brother, someone is coming."

"!!!"

Huaying's hopeful voice rang out from the earphones, and Yingsheng's heart skipped a beat. Then he heard:

"Three cars, coming from the city, very fast. Two of them have already gone around and are out of my sight. The last car has stopped, and someone stretched his hand out of the window, holding..."

Huaying Hope's voice paused for a moment, and his tone became a little serious: "Brother, we are in trouble. That person released a drone."

Damn, how did you find this?
Yingsheng looked around the warehouse. Probably for the convenience of shipping when it was originally designed, there were doors on three sides. But now the place was empty and there was not even a place to hide.

And the most important thing is, on the ground.

Yingsheng looked at the blood all over the ground with a dim gaze, smelling the bloody smell that even the filter could not completely isolate, and felt that a plant was growing rapidly in his heart.

This smell that floats three feet in the wind is impossible not to smell unless everyone on the other side has rhinitis.

Ah, I suddenly feel so angry.

I was so angry with him. Why didn't he consider this situation beforehand?

Yingsheng took a step forward and raised his hand to pinch the bulging carotid artery in Amuro Toru's neck. After a few breaths, he fainted. Seeing Xiaolan's doubtful eyes, Yingsheng quickly raised his hand to prevent her from speaking, and then walked quickly to the shelf.

Halfway through the journey, Huiyuan Ai turned out and asked in confusion: "What happened?"

Yingsheng didn't answer and looked at the phone in her hand.

Huihara Ai hurriedly picked up the phone and tried to speak in a calm tone: "I'm sorry, Ms. Mizuno, there was a problem with the dosage of my medication. He has fainted. I think the previous information should be enough to prove it. That's it. Goodbye."

"Please wait a moment, I have some questions..."

The voice on the other end was quite urgent, and Yingsheng could vaguely hear it, but Huiyuan Ai interrupted immediately:
"Next time, good night."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and looked up at Yingsheng, with a serious look on his face: "Is there something wrong with Mizunashi Reina?"

Yingsheng shook his head: "I don't know, but if it was her, the people outside might have sped up their movements, right?"

His words stunned Huihara Ai. How could she know whether the person outside had accelerated his movements? Moreover, someone came outside? When? !

But the next second, Haibara Ai realized that Hotaru was probably asking his companions who were left outside to get some fresh air, and the answer came in an instant.

"No?"

Yingsheng frowned slightly: "Either this team really has nothing to do with Mizunashi Reina, or she is also an intelligence veteran and knows how to hide herself better. Anyway, as long as they follow the plan, they have a great chance of winning now."

This seems like nonsense?
Yingsheng shook his head and walked to the cardboard box and took a look. There was nothing inside, only a red baseball cap and the camera from before.

Yingsheng took the camera and put it in his pocket. He walked back to Huiyuan Ai with the cap in his hand, squatted down and put it on her head. He looked at it for a few seconds and smiled:

“Even cuter.”

"........."

Huiyuan Ai's solemn expression immediately collapsed: "Do you have any plans?"

"Not at all. I'll take it one step at a time. Are you scared?"

"There are some."

"It's normal to be afraid, but try to have more confidence in yourself. The winery won't want to kill you."

"How could that be? Didn't I tell you before that they don't care that much about me?"

"Oh...you mean, you won't surrender?"

"Who do you think I am? I will never go back!" Huiyuan Ai snorted and stretched out her hand to Yingsheng, "Don't underestimate me, Mr. Liuying, do you have a gun? Give me one."

Yingsheng spread his hands and said, "The most offensive thing I have right now is my house key."

Huiyuan Ai's eyes trembled, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Yingsheng stretch out her right little finger and smiled slightly:
"Do you know how to make a pinky promise? I promise you that you will not die before I die."

Looking at the outstretched finger, Huibara Ai's heart was suddenly filled with mixed emotions. Something wanted to burst out from the corner of her eyes, but she stubbornly forced it back.

She had just wanted to say that the organization's target was her, and she could go out and fall into their trap, attracting their attention, so that Yingsheng and the other person could take the opportunity to escape.

but now……

She stretched out her right hand and hooked her little finger with Yingsheng's. An unprecedented power suddenly surged into her heart, and the hesitation and confusion in her eyes disappeared.

“We’re not going to die,” she said.

"Okay, let's survive together."

Yingsheng smiled and raised his thumb.

Haibara Ai also raised her thumb and touched it with Hotaru's thumb. Her hands were small, but they still touched each other after all.

"A liar swallows a thousand needles," she said.

"Let's make a pinky promise and it's a deal," Yingsheng said.

Under the dim light, the contract was established.

Yingsheng stood up and walked out first: "Alice, hold Ai in your arms, and follow me closely."

Xiaolan nodded immediately: "Understood!"

She picked up Haibara Ai and quickly followed. Haibara Ai glanced at Amuro Toru who was still hanging upside down in her arms and suddenly said, "Aren't you going to kill Bourbon?"

Yingsheng walked without hesitation and said without turning his head: "His follow-up can explain a lot of things. It is more useful to be alive than dead."

For example, is the person outside the winery, or the force to which Toru Amuro really belongs?

For example, how much do they know about the whole story?
With the five points of murderous intent strengthening his five senses, Yingsheng stepped out of the iron door of the warehouse and raised his head slightly. About ten feet in the air, a four-rotor drone was hovering quietly. The camera flashing cold light under the moonlight was like the eyes of the god of death, and it looked over the next second.

However, the person behind the scenes only saw a rapidly enlarging black dot on the screen.

Bang-!
Zizzi——! ! !
The digital camera accurately hit the drone's body, and an arc of electricity exploded in the air, causing the drone to fall like a bird with a broken wing.

Yingsheng scanned the ground and found no stones anywhere. He sighed and continued forward. In the alley next to him was the Toyota he drove when he came here, but he ignored it and pushed the door into another warehouse.

After taking a quick look around, the environment was pretty much the same as before.

But what is worth praising is that there is a rusty flat-blade screwdriver with half of the handle left in the corner of the wall next to the door.

Yingsheng picked it up and walked quickly towards the other exit. Suddenly there was movement on the side, so he turned around and threw it.

pat--!
A pistol fell to the ground.

A tall man in a floral shirt covered his throat, his face full of disbelief, and slowly fell to the ground.

Why is he a white guy with blond hair and a hooked nose?

A trace of doubt flashed through Yingsheng's mind, but the next moment he thought that this seemed normal.

It's the era of globalization.

He ran over quickly and tried to pick up the gun, but suddenly a figure appeared at the side door. Yingsheng turned around before he could see his face clearly.

"Run!"

Da da da da da da da——!!!
The dense gunfire, like typewriter sounds, instantly resounded throughout the empty warehouse, echoing continuously between the mottled concrete walls.

It was confirmed that the public security in Tokyo was definitely worse than the old streets in his previous life.

Gun control is completely non-existent!

Fortunately, there was no gunman at the back door exit, so Yingsheng ran to the side where the gunman was as soon as he went out. However, after taking two steps, he caught a glimpse of a cold light out of the corner of his eye, so he turned around and ran in the other direction.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the enemy's pursuit to snatch the sword with his bare hands, but there were more than one drones on the opposite side, and with full map vision, it was simply impossible to play.

The most important thing is that there is still not a single stone on the ground. Damn it, it’s an abandoned warehouse, can’t you make it a little messy? !
With no other options, Yingsheng could only lower his voice slightly and turned around to shout:
"Alice! Use Iron Fist on the wall!"

The next second, BANG!!!
Cement fragments flew everywhere!

Yingsheng grabbed a piece of gravel in mid-air and turned his wrist. The gunman who had just rushed out of the corner behind him was about to pull the trigger, but the severe pain from his right eye made his fingers suddenly lose strength. No, all his sanity was suddenly sucked away, and he could only scream.

In such a hurry, they only created a one-eyed dragon, which made Yingsheng quite disappointed, but he didn't have time to think too much. He picked up two pieces of rubble and was about to perform a classic replica of the drone.

As it turned out, the opponent already had experience, and while increasing the height, they swung to the side, limiting the angle.

Yingsheng looked at the MP5 on the ground in front of him reluctantly, then turned around and ran away.

The drone quickly followed, bang——!!!
"I lied to you, idiot!"

After knocking out the eyes in the sky, the man in front who was covering his eyes and screaming also shrank back into the corner. Yingsheng looked at the big hole that Xiaolan had made on the wall, and immediately let the two of them in. He entered last and found that the layer of concrete was about ten centimeters thick.

Hey, cutting corners, huh? Thanks a lot.

The warehouse was still empty, but Yingsheng didn't pay any attention to it. He just raised his hand to ask Xiaolan to slow down, and walked quietly towards the passage outside. He leaned against the wall in front and listened carefully for a few seconds.

Yingsheng moved aside and drew a cross on an empty spot on the wall with his finger, about the height of his chest.

Xiaolan nodded, stood in front of the mark, and took a deep breath.

Pegasus Meteor Fist!!!
