Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 586 Three Shots!

This attempt to ridicule Gin was destined to be ineffective.

Gin's position in the boss's heart has always been above Rum's.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have entrusted him with such an important matter as Miyano Akemi in the first place. Moreover, his loyalty to the boss is unshakeable.

Amuro Tooru was fully aware of this.

All those words were just an attempt to distance myself from the situation.

If Gin really investigates the codenamed members, he might become one of the investigated individuals as well.

No matter how vigilant you are, it's always safest to avoid being investigated.

In addition, he did call the police during that time, showing he felt guilty.
During the phone call, he explained the situation at the Twilight Villa to Yuri, and also informed him of the presence of members outside the brewery in Nagano Prefecture.

But the existence of the zoo has nothing to do with him!
It's possible that tequila is just selling itself, staging a self-inflicted injury.

He didn't want to be blamed for nothing.

The group of nine people were restless in the hall. Gin's backup plan had gone wrong, but what about Natsukawa's?
when will you arrive?

A heavy feeling lingered in everyone's hearts.

“Perhaps we should leave,” Alak said.

The others also looked at Gin.

Gin coldly swept his gaze over everyone. "This is absolutely impossible. We cannot lose Twilight Mansion. I have already confirmed with Tequila that the zoo should be unaware of Twilight Mansion. Moreover, some of the peripheral members have already broken through the defenses and arrived. The opportunity is still in our hands."

Besides, this is also the boss's order; Wakasa Rumi is very important.

He walked to the window and glanced outside. Then, turning back, he said meaningfully, "Don't you find it strange? Communication has been restored for almost an hour, and Xia Chuan and his group have been missing for forty minutes, yet no one has entered this mountainous area."

"Brother, do you mean that Xia Chuan and his group didn't actually have any backup plans? Or perhaps they never expected that this bait would attract so many of our codenamed members?"

Gin nodded slightly.

Actually, he didn't have this thought at first; he only just realized it.

Xia Chuan and Yoel are very strong; they can probably handle four or five codenamed members.

There were nine of us in total!
This was definitely beyond Xia Chuan's expectations, given his limited information.

Furthermore, the appearance of Rumi Wakasa was probably not within Natsukawa's expectations.

However, after the battle just now, it would be fine if Natsukawa left, but if he reaches an agreement with Wakasa Rumi, then things will get a bit complicated.

This is what he's worried about now.

"Snapped!"

"Clap clap clap!"

"What's that sound?" Ireland couldn't help but ask.

Before anyone could answer his question, the hall was plunged into darkness in an instant.

"power cut?"

Everyone immediately realized that the sound they had just heard was most likely caused by a complete power outage throughout the entire annex.

Alak immediately stood up and closed his eyes to listen to the sounds around him.

Others, whether alert or bewildered, stood up in various ways.

In the entire hall, only the cigarette butt in Vermouth's hand was still emitting a faint light.

"Vermouth, put out your cigarette!"

While keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings, Gin noticed Vermouth's foolish behavior and immediately spoke up.

Vermouth seemed to have thought of something as well, and threw the cigarette butt away.

However, that brief moment of hesitation gave them ample opportunity.

A gunshot rang out from an unknown direction, followed by Vermouth's muffled groan.

Calvados was terrified and immediately rushed toward Vermouth, following the direction he remembered.

The others also groped their way to find cover in the dark.

By this time, everyone's eyes had gradually adjusted to the darkness, and the faint moonlight shone through the windows, illuminating the hall slightly. People were either lying down or crouching, their postures far from elegant.

"Did they fight back?!"

The idea popped into everyone's mind, but upon closer inspection, they couldn't see anything—not in the second-floor corridor, not in the windows, not anywhere at all.

They can't even pinpoint where the sound came from.

"Lady Vermouth, are you alright?"

Calvados tackled Vermouth to the ground and carefully examined the location of her injuries.

"Fortunately, it only hit my shoulder."

Calvados truly lives up to his reputation as the number one simp; he has completely forgotten that his leg wound is bleeding again, and is frantically tearing off his shirt to use as a bandage to stop Vermouth's bleeding.

However, Vermouth did not understand the good intentions and looked at Calvados as if he were a disgusting person.

The simp didn't see this scene, but even if he had, he would probably just laugh it off.

While being bandaged, Vermouth began to recall her standing posture and the angle of her wound.

She quickly realized that the shot had come from her right side, in the direction of Gin and the corridor behind him.

"Ok?"

Vermouth was clearly taken aback.

Even with Gin as a shield, he still got hurt. How unlucky is that?

Following Vermouth's gaze, the others also looked toward that corridor.

However, nothing was found.

"boom!"

The second gunshot was different from the first. As it echoed in the empty hall, everyone saw the flash of the gun!

"there!"

Someone shouted, and everyone drew their guns and aimed them at the second-floor corridor.

However, the figure only flashed by, and by the time they focused their fire and attention, there was no one left.

Then came the third gunshot.

Immediately following was a muffled groan, and Calvados spat out a mouthful of blood.

The second and third shots both hit him.

He didn't know if the target was him or Vermouth, but in any case, the next two shots hit his waist, abdomen, and thigh. He was already unable to move much, and now he was completely unable to resist.

Vermouth's face darkened. She didn't have time to worry about the sycophant's injuries and quickly hid behind the knight's armor.

Although the others were not injured, they were also frightened by this inexplicable attack.

The three of them separated.

"The third shot came from the left-hand window in the first-floor corridor, above the lobby, on the left side!"

Alak shouted a reminder.

"Vodka and Curaçao, come with me. The rest of you, upstairs."

Gin's voice sounded extremely violent, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent as he headed towards the first-floor corridor.

Vermouth then stepped forward and led the others up to the second floor.

There's probably only one person on the second floor at most, and since there are many of them, it's easier to deal with the situation.

This seemingly separate operation actually allows Gin and Curaçao to protect themselves; the key is whether they can deal with the person on the second floor.

"Xia Chuan!"

Gin chased them into the depths of the corridor, only to find Natsukawa waiting there. Instead of leaving, he smiled.

"You must be the person in charge, right? Tell me, what explanation do you have for trespassing into my villa?"

Xia Chuan spoke softly and gently, as if chatting with a friend, just like entertaining a guest at home, relaxed and comfortable.
