Conan Rick's Investigator

Behind the black waistcoat was a black tie with a tie clip whose inlay was extremely crystal.

At the same time, Rum, who was remotely directing from the car, was staring at the computer screen.

The images taken by the camera are being transmitted synchronously on the screen.

The picture shows the interior of an abandoned building, and Wakasa Rumi is standing opposite.

Rum's eyebrows frowned slightly, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he said, "Ignore her, shoot."

Scotch Whiskey on this side heard the order and was about to pull the trigger.

But at this time, Wakasa Rumi suddenly spoke again.

"And the secret on that ship, don't you want to know?"

"Wait a moment!"

Before the woman finished her words, Rum, who was sitting in the car, immediately shouted.

Scotch whisky also relaxed the intensity of the food at the same time.

Rum took off the cigar from the corner of his mouth and said into the headset: "Ask her what she knows."

Scotch Whiskey maintained the posture of holding the gun and calmly asked Wakasa Rumi: "What do you know?"

"Humph, if you want to know those secrets, you must come to me in person."

The corners of Wakasa Rumi's mouth curled up, and there was even a hint of provocation in it.

This made Rum, who saw this scene, let out a sigh of relief, and his slightly narrowed eyes became even colder.

He slowly raised his hand and covered his right eye, leaving only his left eye exposed.

On the small table in front of him, in addition to the camera footage from Scotch's perspective, a computer next to it was also connected to surveillance cameras in the nearby area, as well as cameras from a sniper's perspective.

Rum's eyes swept across the real-time surveillance screens one by one, carefully confirming everyone in the screen.

A minute later, he slowly lowered his hand and spoke into the headset.

"Scotch, tell her I agree to go."

……

At the same time, Huibara Ai squatted tremblingly in the gap among the waste building materials, not daring to move.

Her eyes widened, and she couldn't even believe what she had just heard.

Is Wakasa Rumi talking to Rum?

That gunman is the second in command of the organization?

No, it is impossible for Rum to kill people personally. There must be someone remotely controlling the gunman from behind.

But what is the "ship" that Wakasa Rumi is talking about?

Chapter 1460: Disappearance of Huiyuan Ai

At this moment, in addition to being nervous and uneasy, Haibara Ai was more confused.

Why does Wakasa Rumi seem so familiar with the organization's affairs?

Not only did she know Rum, the second-in-command of the organization, she even seemed to know some of Rum's secrets, as well as the secrets that Rum wanted to know.

Because the gunman from that organization didn't seem to be planning to shoot Wakasa Rumi in the short term.

This means that Rum has agreed to Wakasa Rumi's request for a meeting.

……

Time passed by minute by minute.

The large patch of sunset shining in front of the window gradually shifted until it completely faded away.

The entire building became dark.

In this depressing atmosphere, Haibara Ai's breathing unconsciously became heavier.

Scotch Whiskey, who was standing on the other side, trembled slightly and raised his leg to walk towards the waste building materials.

Haibara Ai, who was looking outside through the gap, suddenly had her pupils shrink and she quickly covered her mouth and held her breath.

And Wakasa Rumi also moved sideways to stop Scotch Whiskey.

"what are you up to?"

"check."

"It's not necessary."

Wakasa Rumi's tone was cold and her attitude was firm.

Although there was no strong hostility in Scotch Whiskey's eyes, there was no evasion at all.

Just then, rhythmic footsteps were heard in the corridor.

Haibara Ai looked in that direction and saw a bald old man wearing a black leather jacket standing at the door.

Whether it's the dress or the appearance, he looks unattractive.

Haibara Ai even thought that the old night watchman of this abandoned building heard some noise in the building and came in to check.

But the next second, an invisible black wave swept through Huibara Ai's little heart.

Haibara Ai's eyes suddenly widened. She dared not look at the bald old man anymore and pressed her hands tightly on her heaving chest.

"I am coming……"

Rum walked over to Scotch and stood across from Wakasa Rumi.

"Tell me what you know about the secret of that 'ship' and who else knows my identity..."

"Then I can consider letting you die more peacefully."

Rum's head drooped slightly, but his eyes stared at Wakasa Rumi sinisterly.

The originally honest and simple square face and wide chin were also tainted with a fierce and cold aura.

In his words, the secret about the "ship" was obviously more important than to whom his identity was exposed and how much was exposed.

Wakasa Rumi on this side should not be underestimated either. Her eyebrows are raised and a crazy smile with a quirk is revealed at the corner of her mouth.

This sudden change made Rum on the opposite side a little stunned and his brows slightly frowned.

"Humph……"

"No wonder mother always calls you 'an ordinary and confident old man'. Just because you inherited your father's code name, do you really think of yourself as the second in command of the organization?"

"You've been accustomed to flattery for so many years. Has no one ever told you that your ability does not match your ambition?"

Wakasa Rumi's words were quite provocative.

This made Rum on the opposite side stunned for the first moment, and his brain was unable to react.

Even if he racked his brains, he would never have thought that the female bodyguard who escaped from him 17 years ago would say such words when she was surrounded by him.

The next second, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Although he was very angry, he still forced himself to keep his expression steady and maintained a sinister smile.

"very good……"

"If this is your last words, then I will grant you your wish!"

Rum suddenly pulled out a gun with lightning speed and pointed the muzzle at Wakasa Rumi's head.

Piu——!

The bullet flew out of the gun at high speed.

But just when the bullet was about to hit her, Wakasa Rumi turned her head and dodged the bullet.

Seeing this, Rum wanted to fire a second shot.

But before he could pull the trigger, the left eye with a translucent pupil suddenly became hot.

The burning sensation was accompanied by a sharp, stinging pain, as if a red-hot iron rod had pierced through the forehead and penetrated deep into the brain.

"Bah..."

Rum dropped the gun in his hand to the ground. He knelt on one knee, covered his left eye with his left hand, and used his willpower to resist the pain.

Wakasa Rumi, who was standing opposite him, stared at him, and her smile, which was tainted with a weird quirk, became more provocative, even with a hint of contempt.

"Scotch, kill her!"

Rum turned his head and angrily shouted orders to the Scotch next to him.

Scotch pulled out his pistol and was about to raise his hand to aim, but was glared at by Wakasa Rumi.

The next moment, Scotch Whiskey seemed to be restrained by some invisible force, and its body began to twitch.

"Scotch!"

Rum covered his left eye, glanced at Scotch next to him and shouted.

But even this was of no avail, as Scotch Whiskey's body seemed unable to move freely.

"What on earth did you do!"

Rum turned his head and glared at Wakasa Rumi, roaring while enduring the severe pain in his left eye.

Wakasa Rumi slowly approached and said coldly: "I said that your ability is not enough to support your ambition..."

“You have been able to climb to where you are today by relying on the strength of others.”

"You inherited your father's title, snatched the eyes of others, and even few of your confidants were trained by yourself..."

"What a pathetic man."

Rum stared at Wakasa Rumi in a daze.

It was not until this moment that a hint of fear finally appeared in his eyes.

This woman actually knows so many of my secrets!

Not only the origin of the code name "Rum", but also the origin of the eyes and the origin of each confidant...

"W-who are you!"

Rum opened his eyes wide in horror and asked almost angrily.

But Wakasa Rumi did not answer his question.

She walked over to Scotch and took the pistol in the latter's hand.

"You don't need to know..."

"Because you're useless, Rum."

Just as Wakasa Rumi was about to pull the trigger, a flash bomb fell out from Rum's sleeve.

A dazzling white light suddenly flashed, and Wakasa Rumi subconsciously raised her hands to cover her eyes.

When the white light faded, only Scotch whisky was left in the hall, and the rum was nowhere to be seen.

Wakasa Rumi hesitated for a moment, then quickly ran to the window.

I saw a bald man downstairs quickly get into the Bentley S3 parked on the side of the road.

Then the car started and sped away from the scene.

Wakasa Rumi looked at the black Bentley car that was getting farther and farther away, and curled the corner of her mouth in disdain.

At the same time, Haibara Ai, who was hiding in the waste pile, looked at the situation on the field in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief.

Rum, the second-in-command of the organization, was forced to use a flash bomb to escape!

And it looks like Wakasa Rumi didn't do anything!

At the same time, Wakasa Rumi walked back to Scotch from the window and stared at the latter with an expressionless face.

She said calmly, "The era of rum is over..."

"You will just follow me from now on."

After saying that, Wakasa Rumi threw the pistol in front of Scotch.
