In the core area of the base, the oppressive atmosphere was like an airtight net, tightly enveloping Cao Yu, Amuro Tooru, and others, as well as Gin and his cronies.
The air was thick with the acrid smell of gunpowder, mixed with tension and hostility, as if it could ignite at any moment.
The two glared at each other, their eyes burning with fury that seemed ready to erupt into a brutal and bloody battle.
Chapter 105 A Strange Sense of Ritual
At this critical moment, when the situation was about to erupt, a dark figure appeared silently without warning, like a ghost in the night.
As if drawn by an invisible force, everyone's gaze turned to the mysterious figure.
The person was completely wrapped in a long black robe, with a hood on his head, and his face was hidden in deep shadows, making his features indistinct.
"Gin, do you think your shady dealings can be buried in darkness forever?" The mysterious voice seemed to squeeze out from the deep cracks of time, low and hoarse, each word carrying an irresistible authority, echoing softly in this silent yet tense space.
Gin's face instantly turned as gloomy as the sky before a storm. A barely perceptible panic flashed in his eyes, but he was, after all, a ruthless character who had been in the underworld for many years. He quickly forced himself to calm down, snorted coldly, and tried to cover up his unease with a tough attitude: "Who do you think you are? Stop trying to be mysterious and play tricks on me."
The mysterious man did not rush to respond. He slowly raised his hand, the movement like a slow-motion scene, carrying a strange sense of ritual.
As the hood slowly slipped down, a slightly weathered yet resolute face appeared before everyone.
Cao Yu and the others were taken aback at first, then showed surprise. This person was the mysterious figure who had appeared in the clues related to the winery incident before, but had never officially shown up.
"Who I am is irrelevant; what matters is that I am a supervisor placed there by the distillery's senior management."
"Gin, your every move is under my watchful eye and completely under my control." The mysterious man's gaze was like two sharp daggers, piercing straight at Gin, and he spoke each word clearly and forcefully.
Gin's pupils instinctively contracted slightly, like a wild beast sensing danger.
He knew in his heart that things were starting to go in a very unfavorable direction.
"The overseer? Hmph, I think you're just trying to take advantage of the situation to make a quick buck and satisfy your own desires." Gin tried to retaliate, his eyes flashing with malice, attempting to confuse the issue.
The mysterious man sneered, his laughter filled with disdain for Gin's sophistry: "Seeking personal gain? In order to eliminate dissidents, you privately accelerated the development of biological weapons, completely disregarding the overall interests of the brewery and the serious consequences that might result. That is true selfishness and madness."
"Do you really think your sneaky tricks can get away with it? I have irrefutable evidence of your numerous violations. You're attempting to establish your own dark empire using biological weapons, completely disregarding the distillery's rules and the other members. You're playing with fire!"
Upon hearing the mysterious man's revelation, Cao Yu, Amuro Tooru, and the others felt as if a storm was brewing in their hearts.
They never imagined that Gin's ambitions would grow so large. His conspiracy was far more complex than simply developing biological weapons to achieve world domination. Instead, he sought to use this opportunity to eliminate dissidents, establish absolute hegemony in the underworld, and seize all power and interests.
Seeing that the situation was deteriorating rapidly, which was extremely unfavorable to him, Gin realized that continuing the stalemate would be tantamount to waiting for his death.
A desperate glint flashed in his eyes. Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was stunned by this unexpected turn of events, he suddenly turned around and, like a trapped beast being chased by a hunter, ran wildly in another direction from the base.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Cao Yu roared, his voice booming like thunder, and without hesitation, he pounced on the enemy, launching a pursuit.
Amuro Tooru reacted just as quickly, following closely behind Cao Yu. The two of them, like two swift cheetahs, rushed towards the direction Gin had fled, determined to capture him.
In an instant, the situation within the base erupted like a calm lake tossed with a boulder.
When Gin's men saw their boss flee in disarray, they were thrown into chaos.
Chapter 106 Undiscovered
Some people, out of loyalty to Gin or fear of the consequences of betrayal, tried to stop Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru, rushing forward like a pack of mad dogs; while others were plunged into deep panic, their eyes filled with confusion and fear, not knowing where to go or what to do.
Fortunately, the public security forces were well-trained and, under the command and deployment of Amuro Tooru, acted swiftly. With their superb tactics and excellent skills, they methodically subdued Gin's men one by one and gradually stabilized the chaotic situation.
Outside the base, Conan remained like a hidden spies, closely monitoring every move inside.
He had been hiding nearby, ready to provide support at any critical moment.
Seeing Gin flee in a panic, Conan had a sudden realization that this might be an excellent opportunity to uncover more of the truth.
So, with his small and agile figure, he followed Cao Yu, Amuro Tooru, and Gin silently, like a nimble cat.
Conan's tracking skills are unparalleled. He cleverly utilizes his surroundings, sometimes hiding in the shadows, sometimes using clutter as cover, always maintaining the perfect distance from the pursuing group and remaining undetected.
Gin was running for his life ahead. He knew the terrain of the base like the back of his hand, as well as the lines on his palm.
He turned left and right, weaving through the intricate passages and buildings, attempting to use his advantage of the terrain to shake off Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru, who were hot on his heels.
However, Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru were like two pieces of chewing gum clinging tightly to their prey, with only one unwavering thought in their minds: they must not let Gin, this heinous criminal, escape the punishment of the law.
During the chase, Cao Yu unleashed his special ability, with beams of light flashing and leaping in the darkness like brilliant stars.
These lights not only illuminated their path and dispelled the darkness within the base, but also served as a silent deterrent, making Gin, who was fleeing ahead, tremble with fear.
Gin kept glancing back, his eyes filled with a complex mix of fear and anger.
He knew in his heart that if he were captured by Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru, he would face an abyss of no return, and all his carefully planned schemes would be in vain.
Suddenly, Gin ran to a warehouse filled with miscellaneous items.
A sly glint flashed in his eyes as he hatched a plan.
He quickly slipped into the warehouse and then pulled a pre-set mechanism.
In an instant, the warehouse door slammed shut with a deafening roar, as if a sleeping giant had suddenly awakened.
At the same time, many mechanical puppets poured out from all sides of the warehouse.
These puppets were enormous, twice the height of a normal person, and radiated a cold metallic sheen. They gripped various weapons tightly in their hands, which gleamed with a chilling light in the dim light. Like a group of awakened killing machines, they charged menacingly towards Cao Yu and Amuro Toru.
"Watch out!" Cao Yu shouted, warning Amuro Tooru beside him.
The two quickly stood back to back, assuming a defensive stance, ready to face this sudden and fierce battle.
Cao Yu continuously unleashed his special abilities, with beams of light shooting out like meteors, accurately striking the mechanical puppets and triggering violent explosions.
Each explosion was accompanied by a dazzling flash of light and a powerful blast of air, sending debris flying everywhere around (Ma Li's).
Amuro Tooru, wielding two pistols, his eyes calm and focused, used his years of honed marksmanship to accurately shoot at the puppet's vital points.
Bullets rained down, striking the mechanical puppet and sending sparks flying.
In an instant, flames soared into the sky, smoke filled the air, and explosions and gunfire resounded throughout the warehouse, turning it into a living hell.
Just as Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru were engaged in a fierce battle with the mechanical puppets, Conan quietly arrived outside the warehouse.
Chapter 107 A Resolute Face
His sharp eyes quickly scanned the outer wall of the warehouse and soon spotted a ventilation opening.
Conan was overjoyed and, with his small stature, managed to squeeze in.
Upon entering the warehouse, the battle scene inside made his heart tighten, but he quickly calmed down and, with his exceptional intelligence, began to search for the control center of the mechanical puppets amidst the chaos.
He moved cautiously, like a stalking mouse, trying to avoid the center of the battle and heading towards what he suspected was the control center.
The constant flashes of explosions and gunfire around him illuminated his resolute face.
After a difficult search and evasion, Conan finally succeeded in finding the control center of the mechanical puppet.
It was a control panel that shimmered with an eerie light, covered with a complex array of wires and buttons.
Conan took a deep breath and carefully observed the structure of the control panel. Relying on his knowledge of mechanical and electronic equipment, he quickly found a way to shut down the system.
He decisively pressed several key buttons, and with a whirring sound, the puppets that had been attacking frantically instantly stopped moving as if their souls had been sucked away, standing motionless in place like cold sculptures.
Seeing this, Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru breathed a sigh of relief. They glanced at Conan with gratitude, their eyes filled with approval and satisfaction, and then continued to chase after Gin without hesitation.
At this moment, Gin had already run to the edge of the base.
His face was covered in sweat and exhaustion, but when he saw a speedboat quietly moored by the sea, a spark of hope ignited in his eyes.
Once he boards the speedboat and sails into the vast ocean, he will have a chance to escape the pursuit and make a comeback.
However, fate did not seem to let him off easily.
Just as he was about to board the speedboat, Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru arrived in time.
"Gin, you're doomed!" Cao Yu shouted, his voice filled with righteous authority.
Gin slowly turned around, a ferocious and desperate smile on his face. "Hmph, you're still too green to catch me." With that, he quickly pulled out a smoke bomb and threw it forcefully on the ground.
Instantly, thick smoke billowed up, like a black beast, instantly engulfing everything around and obscuring everyone's view.
Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru quickly covered their mouths and noses and struggled to move forward through the thick smoke.
Just then, they heard the sound of the speedboat engine starting up, a sound like the laughter of a demon (acae), which made their hearts tighten.
They knew that Gin was going to take the opportunity to escape.
Amuro Tooru was extremely anxious and quickly fired several shots in the direction of the sound, but the smoke was too thick to determine whether he had hit Gin.
As the thick smoke gradually dissipated, the speedboat was seen shooting into the depths of the sea like an arrow, leaving only a long white trail in its wake.
Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru watched the speedboat disappear into the distance, their hearts filled with resentment. Their fists were clenched so tightly that their knuckles turned white.
"We can't let him get away like this!" Amuro Tooru said through gritted teeth, his voice filled with anger and determination.
Cao Yu nodded heavily. "We have to find a way to catch up." Just as the two were extremely anxious, Conan came running over, panting. His face showed a hint of fatigue, but his eyes were filled with excitement.
He held a small tracker in his hand and said, "I secretly threw this tracker onto the speedboat when Gin boarded the ship. We can use this to track his location."
Cao Yu and Amuro were overjoyed upon hearing this, as if they had seen a glimmer of hope in the darkness.
They quickly returned to base, rendezvoused with the public security forces, and then selected a superior speedboat, chasing after the target like an arrow, following the direction shown by the tracker.
On the vast ocean, Gin piloted his speedboat, secretly relieved that he had temporarily escaped his pursuers.
Chapter 108 Without the slightest fear whatsoever
He thought he had successfully shaken off Cao Yu and the others, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
However, he never dreamed that Conan's tracker was like an invisible shadow, quietly transmitting his location information to Cao Yu and the others.
Guided by the tracker, Cao Yu and his crew's speedboat sped across the turbulent sea.
The sea breeze, like a raging beast, howled and rushed towards them, making it almost impossible for them to open their eyes; the waves, like moving hills, constantly crashed against the speedboat, causing it to rock violently on the sea.
But Cao Yu, Amuro Tooru, and the members of the Public Security Forces stared intently ahead with unwavering eyes, showing no sign of fear.
Finally, they could vaguely see Gin's speedboat on the sea ahead.
Gin was startled when he noticed a speedboat chasing after him; it was as if his heart, which had just settled, was suddenly in his throat again.
He immediately stepped on the gas, and the speedboat sped across the sea like a mad shark, trying to shake off Cao Yu and the others again.
However, Cao Yu and his team's speedboats, carefully selected and with superior performance, gradually closed the gap with Gin.
When Cao Yu got close enough to Gin's speedboat, he unleashed his special ability, sending a powerful energy beam, like a bolt of lightning, hurtling towards Gin's speedboat.
Upon seeing this, Gin's expression changed drastically, and he quickly swerved the steering wheel to avoid it.
However, the energy beam was extremely fast and still struck the tail of the speedboat.
With a loud "boom," the speedboat shook violently, flames erupted at its stern, and its speed noticeably decreased.
Taking advantage of the situation, Amuro Tooru picked up the megaphone and shouted at Gin, "Gin, you're surrounded. Stop struggling and surrender!" Gin looked at Cao Yu and the others who were approaching, his eyes filled with despair and resentment, like a wounded beast.
But he was still unwilling to admit defeat, so he picked up his weapon and fired wildly at Cao Yu and his men.
Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru quickly dodged, bullets whizzing past their bodies and splashing water.
At the same time, they directed the public security forces to launch a counterattack.
Suddenly, gunfire erupted on the sea, smoke filled the air, and bullets splashed countless water droplets on the surface, resembling a grand yet brutal fireworks display.
In the fierce firefight, Gin's speedboat suffered more damage, cracks began to appear in its hull, seawater kept pouring in, and it gradually sank.
Gin knew his cause was lost, and as he gazed at the surging sea, a deep sense of sorrow welled up within him.
His eyes were filled with despair and helplessness, as if he could see his own doom.
Just as the speedboat was about to sink, Gin gritted his teeth and jumped into the sea.

Upon seeing this, Cao Yu and his men quickly ceased firing and steered their speedboat toward the spot where Gin had fallen into the water.
The police lowered the ropes and tried to pull Gin up.
Gin initially struggled desperately in the water, like a drowning beast, unwilling to give in.
But the icy seawater kept crashing against him, draining his strength. Gradually, he lost his strength and could only let the rope pull him onto the speedboat.
At this moment, Gin's face was as pale as paper, his eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he had lost all his fighting spirit and soul, like a puppet whose vitality had been drained.
Cao Yu looked at Gin and said seriously and righteously, "Gin, your conspiracy has completely failed. You will pay the price for what you have done." Gin snorted coldly and did not speak. He just turned his head to the side, revealing a trace of unwillingness and resentment in his eyes.
After subduing Gin, Cao Yu and the others took him back to the base.
At this point, the situation within the base was completely under control.
The mysterious man nodded in satisfaction when he saw that Gin had been successfully captured.
