The world of science is unscientific

I finally got back from running around to several places to buy vodka for a bento box. I was at a loss looking at the mess on the floor and the lingering fragrance in the air.

"Vodka, thank you for your hard work."

Gin secretly turned his head and let out a burp, then spoke up to comfort Vodka, who was on the verge of tears.

"It's okay, I'll definitely take you next time. You'll have to make do with bento boxes today, but eat a few more. It's worth the trip. These three are all yours."

Vodka: "..."

At that moment, Yusuke Suzuki's phone vibrated, and he picked it up.

"Your code name is Grouse."

The email came from an unfamiliar address; it must be from that gentleman.

Gin received the email a few minutes later.

After reading it, he skillfully deleted the email, chuckled, and said, "Heh, your code name is really good, it suits you very well."

Yusuke Suzuki couldn't be bothered with Gin. This guy was too vindictive. Was he mocking him for always complaining first whenever they met? Or was he saying he was as weak as a grouse?

It's unlikely to be anything good.

"Congratulations, Wei Que."

Vodka, on the other hand, came up cheerfully to offer his congratulations.

Gin: “…”

Vodka, whose side are you on anyway?

Oh, he probably didn't understand. Never mind then.

"May I leave now?"

After eating, Suzuki Yusuke felt much better and spoke louder.

“No,” Gin said, stretching out his body in front of him for once, “there are still some things to explain.”

"First of all, don't contact that email address unless it's important. That gentleman doesn't like being disturbed."

"Secondly, you will now be temporarily assigned to my action team, and you will be subject to my orders in all actions."

"Third, the person in charge of investigating your background is codenamed 'Rum.' He holds a high position in the organization and is mainly responsible for intelligence-related work. You may come into contact with him in the future, so don't mess with him."

"Finally, the woman you met at Base 1 last time, her name is Vermouth. She has independent authority and a special status. If there are any operations, you need to cooperate with her and go all out."

"By the way, inform me in advance of any unusual actions. The organization will temporarily stop watching you, but you should know what will happen if you make any suspicious moves."

After saying that, Gin got into his car and drove away.

Yusuke Suzuki was left to clean up the trash alone.

Edit the email.

"I'm coming back to collect the trash; it's not like I'm the only one eating this. —Grouse"

Two minutes later, the Porsche 356A returned.

On a dark and windy night, people are killing people and setting fires.

Meanwhile, Gin and Suzuki Yusuke are picking up trash. I wonder what Conan will think if he sees them.

As dawn broke, Yusuke Suzuki finally returned to his apartment. He couldn't lie down on the bed yet, otherwise he would probably fall asleep immediately.

I wonder if Gin is asleep?

Edit the email.

"Are you asleep? —Grouse"

"What is it? —Gin"

A reply in a second? Looks like you're still awake.

"Any action tomorrow? —Grouse"

"No, I'll ask all the questions next time. —Gin"

......

So what should we do now?

Will I get killed if I keep harassing Gin?

I want to try, but I don't dare.

Yusuke Suzuki, choosing to follow his heart, randomly picked a movie to watch.

Not good. The bleeding after a person is stabbed in a major artery is not like this. Thumbs down.

Chapter 24: Another Accidental Plot Twist

After resting for several days, Gin did not contact him again.

Day N of missing Gin.

Yusuke Suzuki quite enjoys bantering with Gin. As long as he keeps it within limits and prevents a conflict from breaking out, it's fine. After all, he's someone who's seen the original story, and now that he's met the real person, there's a strange sense of contrast.

But would he still be so eager to go and kill and set fires with Gin?

That's impossible. He's not some ruthless psychopath, right?

The weather is nice today, so he plans to visit Professor Agasa's house and see Ai Haibara. He can't let his favorability rating drop.

I had just stepped out the door when Gin's email arrived.

"An international assassin named Scrooge has recently appeared in Japan. Keep an eye out for him. —Gin"

Shi Kaobing?

I vaguely remember him; he seems to be a character from a theatrical film. His younger brother, Kaito Kuroba, also appeared in it.

Since Ai Haibara is at school today, why don't I go find Kaito Kuroba first to chat and strengthen our relationship, and also ask Akako Koizumi how those two girls are doing?

He left Kaito Kuroba's contact number and dialed it directly.

Anyway, Kaito Kuroba just daydreams during class and doesn't really pay attention, so it doesn't matter if he disturbs you.

To my surprise, the call was answered immediately.

"You skipped school today?"

"It doesn't count as skipping school, okay? I asked for leave!"

"Where?"

"Ueno."

"Give me an address, I'll come find you."

Yusuke Suzuki sighed and got out of his Catara; it had been a long time since he had driven his own car.

......

Upon arriving at the location, Yusuke Suzuki nimbly scaled the second floor.

Located deep in the mountains, this is a holiday home that looks newly built.

Hearing his footsteps, Kaito Kuroba said irritably, "Can't you just come in through the door?"

“No,” Suzuki Yusuke said, picking up a bottle of an unfamiliar drink from the table and unscrewing the cap. “In a house like this, there are too many places to hide on the first floor, and the second floor has a clear view and not too many people. I can handle that. Even if I have to run, it will be easier to plan my route.”

Kaito Kuroba was speechless; this was excessive caution.

He picked up a disguised face from the lab table in front of him. "We've recently improved the materials, and the fake faces we make look even better."

"Not only is it lightweight, but it can also simulate the appearance of bleeding after an injury."

Kaito Kuroba pulled out a small dagger from somewhere and slashed it across the fake face.

Sure enough, bright red blood flowed out directly, almost exactly like a real injury.

Awesome!

Yusuke Suzuki became interested and went over to examine it.

During this period, the frequent disguises gave him a deeper understanding of his 'fixed face', and his experience in disguise was growing rapidly. Because he had to observe the people around him before each disguise, his observation skills had also improved a lot.

There's no reason not to learn such a new technology.

It took nearly two hours for Yusuke Suzuki to create a new face here. After wearing it, it was indeed much better than before. At least the dragging and foreign object feeling on the face was not as strong.

"By the way, Yusuke-nii, how's your voice-changing technique coming along?"

Kaito Kuroba leaned against the table, took a swig of soda, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After demonstrating all the sounds he could currently simulate, Kaito Kuroba shook his head. "Yusuke-nii, you still haven't reached your limit."

"Oh? Please enlighten me."

Yusuke Suzuki looked humble.

"In summary, the sound can be rough or smooth, thick or thin, depending on the strength, softness, pitch, and degree of closure of the vocal cords."

Kaito Kuroba's voice changed in sync with the content of his speech.

“By combining them, countless sounds can be formed. On this basis, by adding technical elements, even more sounds can be simulated.”

Yusuke Suzuki was shocked. Why didn't this guy say so last time?

After trying for a while, it was almost dark.

In the evening, the two ate something simple.

"By the way, what's the matter that you wanted to see me about this time?"

Kaito Kuroba swallowed a piece of chicken soaked in sauce and stared intently at Yusuke Suzuki.

"Because of Shi Kaobing."

"That international assassin?"

"Yes, that person is collecting artifacts and treasures from the Romanov dynasty all over the world. It seems he's recently arrived in Japan. You might run into him, so I'm letting you know in advance."

"It's okay, I only care about the gems, and even if we run into each other, I won't lose."
