Conan Rick's Investigator

"In that case, why don't you leave the organization?" Qin Zhibo asked.

Mizuno Reina paused for two seconds and replied, "It's almost impossible to leave the organization normally. Even if they chase you to the ends of the earth, they will kill all the people who know about it. The only way is to rely on an accidental death..."

"And I don't want my father's sacrifice to go to waste. As long as I persevere, I can wait for my companions to appear and completely destroy the organization, so that I can comfort my father's spirit in heaven."

"Fortunately, now you are finally here..."

Mizuno Rena looked up at Qin Zhibo, her eyes full of hope, as if she was looking at a savior.

For four years, she had thought countless times in lonely nights whether to continue.

Carrying out her father's will and avenging his death were certainly important, and she was aware of this, but she was not alone in this world.

She also has a younger brother whom she is worried about. If she sacrifices herself again, her brother will really become a human being.

She once hesitated for the sake of her younger brother.

But she still chose to persevere and finally waited for the arrival of her "companion".

He has a famous detective who is a veteran of the battlefield as his companion, and he is also a former FBI agent, so his strength is guaranteed.

"But……"

At this moment, Qin Zhibo's demeanor suddenly changed, his expression grim, and his tone cold, "Have you never considered that what if I'm a fake 'companion'?"

These words made Mizuno Rena's face froze, and a bone-chilling chill spread across her skin.

"What do you mean?"

"What if I'm one of the members of the organization you're talking about? Gin, Vodka, Vermouth... they're all just my colleagues."

Mizuno Reina: “!”

Gin, Vodka, Vermouth, these familiar code names within the organization made Rena Mizunashi's eyes widen, and she subconsciously took a step back, away from the man in front of her.

The ice-blue cat's eyes were full of fear as it stared at Qin Zhibo in disbelief, with its hands slightly raised.

The previous second, she felt like finally finding rain after a long drought or meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

But the next second, her heart felt like it was falling into an icy cave, and she fell into an abyss.

Oops!

Great!

I didn't expect that after hearing the letter from four years ago and my father's last words, I couldn't help but replace the identity of the man in front of me with that of a "companion".

This was someone sent by the organization to test me, and I was fooled!

Now that my identity is exposed, I have no choice but to fight!

Mizuno Rena's eyes suddenly became fierce, and she clenched her right fist and attacked Qin Zhibo in the face.

Qin Zhibo faced the incoming fist and quickly caught it, her palm just enough to hold it. Although the strength was not small for a woman, it was still not enough compared to Qin Zhibo who practiced martial arts regularly.

Seeing that her fist was caught, Mizuno Rena quickly kicked out, trying to kick the person away and create some distance.

But Qin Zhibo bent one arm and hooked Mizuno Rena's right leg with his arm the moment she kicked out.

With one leg and one hand restrained, Rena Mizunoshi stood on one leg and hopped around on the tiles barefoot to maintain her balance.

Although the posture is a bit funny, the expression of gritting teeth makes him look like a fierce little wild cat.

Seeing that Mizuno Rena was still struggling, Qin Zhibo quickly explained, "I haven't finished what I said. Although I am now in the organization you mentioned, it was indeed someone introduced by your father."

"evidence!"

Obviously, having experienced "deception", Rena Mizunoshi is not easily convinced now.

"The letter is now in a drawer in my office, available for inspection at any time. Also, I am indeed a former FBI agent. I know your identity because my former FBI colleague reminded me yesterday afternoon..."

Mizuno Rena jumped up and down with a frown on her face. She had never encountered this situation before.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo didn't want to make the problem worse, so he woke up the Maori family who were sleeping next door and took the initiative to reconcile.

"If you're interested in this topic, I can let you go, but you have to promise not to attack me again after you let me go. I can explain everything clearly."

"And I know you're going to participate in an assassination operation against an important political figure today. We need to discuss this matter carefully."

When Qin Zhibo mentioned the organization's assassination plan for today, Mizuno Rena's face was shocked again.

Only people in the organization should know about this now, how could he know?

By the way, he is a member of the organization, so it is normal for him to know.

But if it’s someone from the organization, should I still believe it?

But what if he really is Gin's man...

Rena Mizunoshi is now in a dilemma. Having been in the dark den of the organization for four years, she has lost a lot of sense of security.

Even though she knew it wouldn't do any good, she still installed several locks on her apartment door just to make herself feel a little more at home.

Seeing that Mizuno Rena was still hesitating, Qin Zhibo took the initiative to loosen one of her legs to show his sincerity.

"Now let's all calm down. Think about it carefully. If I came here to test you, why did you take the initiative to invite me and Detective Maori?"

Mizuno Reina: “…”

Qin Zhibo's words hit home. She had invited the two famous detectives for some other purpose, not just to investigate the doorbell incident.

Qin Zhibo continued, "And today's assassination mission is here. The organization shouldn't be able to replace the candidate at short notice. For the sake of the mission's success, why would they send someone to test you at this critical moment?"

"Even if I want to test you, I should choose to do it after this mission is over, right?"

Qin Zhibo's words made Mizuno Rena suddenly realize that this was indeed the case.

If he were to be eliminated by the organization at this point, who would interview Domon Yasuteru? The assassination plan would then cease to exist.

"I understand. Then I'll listen to your explanation..."

……

Qin Zhibo also let go of Mizuno Rena's hand, and the two began to communicate again, but this time it was Qin Zhibo who introduced his side of the story.

"Four years ago, I couldn't get in touch with you by phone, so I opened a detective agency here and waited for the right opportunity."

"You accidentally invited me to your house today, and the FBI nearby saw me."

"Actually, the FBI has been keeping tabs on you recently because you've been interacting frequently with Dr. Shinde from Shinde Hospital. That person is actually Vermouth, right?"

Rena Mizunoshi bit her lip lightly and didn't respond, but her expression already showed her agreement.

Qin Zhibo continued, "The FBI said your identity is suspicious and you might be part of an organization. They also told me your real name, Hondou Eikai."

"I just realized that you are the person I should have contacted four years ago."

This paragraph was made up by Qin Zhibo on the spot. After all, he couldn't say that he collected intelligence by touch.

Rena Mizunoshi frowned, thinking about the feasibility of this logic in her mind.

Some time ago, I did go to Vermouth a few times to act as a liaison for the organization, but I didn't expect that I would be targeted by the FBI at that time.

Although I felt someone was following me a few times, when I thought about the fact that I had not yet gotten rid of suspicion within the organization, I subconsciously thought that it was someone from the organization who was following me.

I didn't expect it was the FBI.

"I believe you for now, but why are you also in the organization?" Mizunashi Rena asked, "If I remember correctly, there was an FBI agent in the organization two years ago. That should be your only undercover agent in the organization, right?"

"The person you're talking about is Shuichi Akai. He was my junior when I was in the FBI, and now he's also investigating the organization in Japan."

Qin Zhibo changed the subject, "But I joined the organization not because of the FBI's mission, but because of another investigative organization."

"You don't need to know too much about this organization. Just understand that they are reliable and trustworthy."

Mizuno Rena listened to Qin Zhibo's words with some confusion between her brows.

"So, you're a triple agent now?"

The Black Organization, the Investigation Organization, and the FBI, exactly three sides.

"Oh, let me correct you. If you include your father's relationship, it would be four sides."

Mizuno Rena was shocked, and it seemed to be true.

It would be terrible if such a person was an enemy.

Qin Zhibo continued, "But now I have to give up one of the aspects, which is the organization aspect."

Mizunashi Rena asked, "Why?"

"Because my organizational identity has a time limit, once the time is up, I will have to give up my identity... or it will be exposed."

After hearing this explanation, Mizuno Rena was even more confused, "What do you mean by that?"

Qin Zhibo: "This is a long story. You just need to understand that before I leave the organization, I need to make the organization lose a general and accelerate its demise."

"My original plan was to capture you, but if you're the CIA, then there's no point."

"So, I want to capture Gin alive in today's assassination plan."

As soon as these words were spoken, Mizuno Rena's face was immediately filled with surprise.

Capture Gin alive!

This is the most difficult and important person in the organization. My father died indirectly at his hands four years ago!

"Is what you said true!?"

Rena Mizuno was a little excited. Seeing this, Qin Zhibo quickly made a hushing gesture, asking her not to speak so loudly and disturb the Mori family next door.

Mizunashi Rena immediately understood, but her tone was still shocked. "What are you going to do? Vodka is always with Gin, and other members of the organization will also appear in today's assassination..."

Qin Zhibo nodded, "I know all this because I am one of the members of today's assassination plan."

"You too?" Mizunashi Rena frowned. "What's your code name in the organization?"

"Michael."

"This... doesn't seem to be the name of a wine?"

"Yes, so my identity is limited in time and quite special."

Mizunashi Rena looked thoughtful for a few seconds before asking, "So what are you going to do? Even if you're part of the plan, there should be other people in the organization involved, right?"

"Besides, Gin is a cautious and suspicious person. He probably won't personally carry out the plan, but will place himself in a position where he can evacuate safely."

Although this is the first time that Rena Mizunashi has directly participated in an assassination mission in all these years, and she had only been gathering intelligence before, based on her understanding of Gin, this is probably the case.

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment, "I know, but please believe me, there will be a way..."

"By the way, how are you planning to approach DJ? I've also had people investigate around Domon Yasuteru before, but to no avail."

Seeing that Qin Zhibo even revealed the target's code name and real name, Mizuno Rena became even more convinced that Qin Zhibo was part of the plan.

"It's an interview. He will interview me at Beihu Park."

"Interview?" Qin Zhibo's eyes flashed. "But I found out that he was planning to play golf today."

"Yes, he definitely wouldn't tell anyone that he would accept my interview. I used threats to force him to do so."

Mizunashi Rena explained, "I have evidence against him provided by the organization. Domon's father, a high-ranking official, had an extramarital affair. In order to cover up this scandal, Domon had no choice but to agree to my interview."

"So that's the case, no wonder..."

Qin Zhibo understood why even Toru Amuro could not find out Domon's exact whereabouts before.

The organization could have clearly used this as a leverage to eliminate Yasuteru Domon from this term's candidate list, but they chose the most reliable method: assassination.

The boss of this organization is too cautious.

Qin Zhibo thought about it and now he had a general idea of the information he could get: the assassination time, location, and people...

The next step is to formulate a plan to capture Gin alive.

This plan must both meet the requirements of public security and ensure the safety of politician Yasuaki Domon.

It is also necessary to make Gin relax his vigilance enough and avoid a serious incident with a huge impact such as a large-scale fight between organization members and police in the city.

There were too many conditions that needed to be met, but Qin Zhibo suddenly had an idea and thought of a solution that might work.

However, this method requires a lot of people to perform a play together.

He ignored Rena Mizunashi's puzzled look, pushed open the bathroom door, and glanced at the clock in the living room.

It's already 1 a.m., and I've been chatting about life with Rena Mizunashi in the bathroom for 40 minutes without realizing it.

There are still 9 hours until the gathering time arranged by Gin, so there is still enough time to arrange this plan!
