Conan's I'm really not a model worker in a winery

Chapter 197 The Dusk Villa-Soldier

The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s almost dusk.

The sun gradually sets in the west, stretching the shadows of everything, as if it is a sign of darkness coming.

Nagano Prefecture.

At the boundary between the suburbs and the urban area, a cluster of buildings is scattered here.

The underground spaces between these houses are all connected together, forming an open and spacious underground base——

I don't know how long this base has existed, but the thousands of square meters of space are just a branch.

In a lounge in the underground base.

A middle-aged foreign man with blond hair and blue eyes was wearing a black shirt, holding a goblet in his hand and shaking it gently while watching a funny program on the TV.

After a long while, he picked up the glass and brought it to his mouth, taking a sip of the wine in the glass.

The sweet aroma left him with endless aftertaste, and he exclaimed:

"Oh! It is indeed Chablis, as sour and refreshing as ever! Sweet! A treasure from heaven!"

Ireland who just walked into the lounge: "..."

After praising himself openly, does Chablis still want to show off?

The man lying leisurely on the sofa watching TV is none other than Chablis.

Ireland, who was twice as strong as him, glanced at him and silently went over to pour a glass of Chablis.

Chablis, a white wine made from Chardonnay grapes, has a mineral flavor that is really special because of its place of origin.

…it’s also sour and refreshing.

"Chaplis, you've been here for two days and you haven't returned to Tokyo to report on your work?"

Ireland took a sip of the light golden wine.

Chablis enjoyed watching the show and said casually: "Don't worry, you can go back to Ireland first in Tokyo... After all, this is the hometown of that person, and I want to pay my respects more."

"...Only a ghost would believe you."

Ireland did not believe a word of Chablis' lies.

"Tsk, why are you talking?" Chablis raised his eyebrows in displeasure, then smiled broadly, "You obviously don't even believe in ghosts."

Ireland:"……"

He was so self-aware that he didn't know what to say.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke: "Besides that person's annex, is there anything else here that interests you?"

"A lot of stuff."

Chablis smiled, "And Gin... I'm very interested in him."

"Gin?" Ireland gave him a strange look, "Gin has returned to Tokyo a long time ago, okay."

"Ah... that's right." Chablis scratched his cheek, put the wine glass on the table and then spread his hands, "Well, actually he said that day that someone would come to the annex the day before yesterday. I didn't really believe it.

.”

Ireland's eyes twitched: "Then?"

"Then I asked people to guard the intersection." Chablis crossed his legs with a smile, "Alas, I didn't expect someone to actually come..."

"...I really don't understand why you doubt Gin." Ireland looked at him speechlessly and twitched the corner of his mouth.

Chablis picked up the wine glass again and took a sip, "Because of the feeling."

Ireland:"……"

"He doesn't seem to be interested in anything." Chablis looked at the liquid in the wine glass, "Whether it's me, you, the mission... or that person's annex, he doesn't seem to care at all."

“Chablis.”

Ireland suddenly said with a serious face:

"Gin joined the organization when he was seven years old, and became the top assassin among that group at the age of fifteen. Since then, he has been personally focused on and trained by that person... Your suspicion is completely unreasonable."

"Yes, yes..."

Chablis shook his head helplessly.

Really, it’s just a guess, and you won’t lose a piece of meat...

"You'd better not let that person know these speculations of yours, he will definitely be very dissatisfied." Ireland reminded again.

In addition to nodding, Chablis nodded and drank wine depressedly.

When the two of them were silent, a mobile phone rang.

They touched their pockets almost at the same time, and then Ireland took back his hand - it was Chablis' cell phone.

"How's it going? What's going on?"

After asking, Chablis stopped drinking when he heard the voice on the other end of the phone.

The smile gradually bloomed: "Is this possible? It's interesting."

"Okay, I understand, keep watching."

After a few hurried words, Chablis simply picked up the phone, and then suddenly stood up.

Ireland was startled: "Chaplis! What are you doing?"

"I'm going to the annex." Chablis went to get his coat from the hanger.

"At this time?"

"It's necessary, my men saw Gin! I have to supervise and see what he wants to do... I'll leave it to you Ireland!"

‘Bang’——

Looking at the door being slammed shut, Ireland's lips twitched.

Is Chablis crazy? Doubting Gin?

The number of undercover traitors Gin killed was older than that one, right?

"Damn it! That gas station owner actually asked me to take this road..."

On a potholed path in the forest, a white rental car bumped forward.

In the driver's seat, Kogoro Mouri tried hard to keep the car stable while opening his mouth to curse the gas station owner who made him take this road.

They were driving on a serious road before, and the car suddenly had a puncture, and there was no spare tire on the car...

Fortunately, there was a gas station and they were able to move on after changing the tires.

But this road...

It’s really hard to describe in words.

The soil in the forest was originally very soft, and since it was still raining, the water accumulated in the mud pits.

They were afraid that the car would get stuck in a pit and never come out again...

"I said dad, is this road really okay?"

Mao Lilan grasped the handle of the car roof tightly, doubting whether this road could lead to the destination.

Conan was sitting alone in the back seat and had fastened his seat belt, trying hard not to fall.

He did not doubt the correctness of this road - such a bumpy road meant that a car must have passed through it before.

"How do I know..." Mouri Kogoro was also very depressed, "If this path is wrong, I will definitely beat that boss up later!"

Probably God is on the side of the gas station owner.

Just after Mouri Kogoro said these words, their car drove up a steep slope, and then drove onto a stable mountain road filled with cement.

"...Finally there is a serious path."

Mouri Kogoro breathed out a sigh of relief.

Xiaolan still held the handle with some worry, "Can this really lead to the destination?"

Conan took off his seat belt at this time and lay on the window: "I think this is indeed a shortcut."

"Eh?"

"Look at the right side. That should be the Dusk Annex, right?"

After hearing what Conan said, Mouri Kogoro and Xiaolan turned their heads and saw a huge mansion standing on the edge of the cliff.

It's just that under the cover of night, the splendor of this annex cannot be seen at all, and it only makes people feel eerie and creepy.
