Conan: On the possibility that Whiskey is an undercover agent

"Bourbon and his men have gone to meet the Golden Dogs. They should be back soon." Yemuro Iori said, "The priest has arrived. I just don't know if the cops are strong enough to stop the mafia from directly killing him."

The sniper's current mental state worries him. He almost suspects that he has given the sniper too large a dose and made him crazy. Wouldn't that be a sin?

Ye Mu Yizhi was still led by him to the entrance of the melee. They approached very carefully. After seeing the fierce scene over there, they gave up the possibility of attacking the priest, but it seemed that something unexpected happened.

"Is the statue in the church?"

"It should be in the warehouse. If you go past here, you have to go around the church." Midorikawa Hikaru replied. The statue had been put away when he came here before. He met Yoshida Saki, who said that it might have been placed in the warehouse.

He had a general understanding of the process of the ceremony, which was also one of the necessities, and Zero also said that the statue was important, and informed him of its location immediately after finding it.

The Public Security Bureau might have given him some important task, he guessed, the Japanese Public Security Bureau was different from the Metropolitan Police Department, the Public Security Bureau had a higher level of confidentiality in tasks and intelligence, while the Metropolitan Police Department was more inclined to share intelligence, after all, the division of labor was different, it was harder than Zero himself, almost all tasks and intelligence needed to be completed independently.

Although the Metropolitan Police Department and the Public Security Bureau have had a long-standing grudge, he was not affected by this. Being able to help Zero just fulfilled his wish.

Due to the previous fire, the electrical circuit here was damaged even more seriously. The monastery was pitch black without any lights. At this time, in order to use a flashlight conveniently, it was no different from a target. The two had to grope in the dark to find the way to the warehouse. Fortunately, both of them were familiar with this place.

The warehouse is located right behind the church. Entering from a small room, one can see a dusty wooden table, but there is nothing on it. Ye Shiyi lifted the curtain and found that there was a small passage underneath. Going down diagonally, it was probably the basement space.

He pointed at his hand and said, "Can you let go of it first? It's not very convenient to move like this."

"No." Midorikawa gave him a reassuring look, "Don't worry."

The unexpected negative answer stunned Ye Mu Yizhi for a moment. This was the first time he was rejected. Even if he was considered a weakling, it wouldn't be to this extent. It seemed as if he would definitely die here.

Rather than a side effect of the drug, his condition seems more like a stress response.

He doesn't have any psychological trauma, does he?

Forget it, let’s not provoke him yet and prevent anything from going wrong during the mission.

The two of them simultaneously turned on the lighting function of their mobile phones, so they could still see the road about three meters ahead clearly. They walked forward slowly. The road was not long and they soon reached the end. There was nothing special, except that the wrist bone was pinched tighter. Ye Shiyi took a breath of cold air in pain, and the sleepiness caused by the biological clock was driven away. Could this guy be afraid of the dark?

Thinking of this, he fumbled for a switch, and with a click, the small space actually lit up.

The thing covered by the white cloth on the lacquered wooden table was a statue. There was not much dust on it. When the cloth was lifted, Jesus' big face was exposed, made of white plaster.

"You also think this thing is wrong?"

Midorikawa Hikaru followed Iori Yemuro's gaze and saw a statue of Jesus. The latter knocked on it and found that it was hollow inside.

Iori Yamuro was not surprised at all. "The process of the Ascension Ceremony is to make Jesus receive divine power and finally fly to heaven. In general churches, they will tie him up with ropes and pull him out of the skylight to achieve the effect of ascension. Therefore, the statue is generally hollow."

"Do you believe in religion?" asked Midorikawa Hikaru. The young master seemed to know too much about this.

"No." The denial was quick, which was not surprising, as the believers would not treat their Lord with such disrespect.

"I have a religious... friend." There was a momentary pause in his answer. Of course, Midorikawa Hikaru knew who he was talking about. Aoi Yemuro was a religious believer.

Iori Yamuro estimated the size of the statue, and judging from the sound he just heard, there was definitely something inside. Understanding what he meant, Mitsuru Midorikawa gave him a questioning look.

"Do you want to open it?"

Midorikawa Hikaru asked. The plaster statue was not heavy, so he turned it over easily. He noticed a rectangular gap there. "It can be opened."

The statue was indeed hollow. Midorikawa Mitsuru took out a wooden box from it, but it was locked, so he pried it open in a few seconds.

"what is this?"

Ye Shimuyi picked up the black statue, which was no bigger than an adult male's palm. Its strange shape was completely different from the feeling of Jesus' compassion for the world. It looked like a statue that could barely be considered a human figure, made up of countless human body parts.

A greedy, unsatisfied evil god.

This was Iori Yemuro's first thought.

"Don't look."

Then a hand took it away from him, and Midorikawa Hikaru's face looked unhappy.

I don’t know if the young master was affected, but Midorikawa Mitsuru had a strange feeling the first time he saw it.

The young master should not be affected much if he has the pendant on him. When he was in the safe house, he put the pendant into the other person's pocket. Scotland did not regret giving him the pendant. It should have been a relic left by Aoi to his brother.

Aoi would protect him, just as he took on the darkness of the organization himself.

Iori Hashimura turned his gaze towards Hikaru Midorikawa, "I don't think we can put it back."

Midorikawa frowned and threw it out of sight, "So what are you going to do?"

Anyway, the main ascension ceremony is definitely not to let this unknown god ascend to heaven, so it is obviously not a good thing.

Iori thought for a moment, then he took out a pistol and put it in the box. It was the pistol that Gin had given him before. "To do this job, of course I have to worship the gun god. I'll be pious later, and I hope he will help me to hit the target every time."

Midorikawa Hikaru: "I don't think the God of Guns can save you. It's better to pray more and go out less." He was very skeptical about the young master's fighting ability.

"With my luck, it might be a bit embarrassing for Jesus." The young master closed the box without even raising his head. It was true. Midorikawa Mitsuru suddenly found it a little funny. Is the young master so aware of his unlucky physique?

"What if it doesn't work later?" Midorikawa Hikaru asked, "Will worshipping the wrong god affect the ceremony?"

"It doesn't matter. At worst, I can take it out and worship it again." Yeshiro Iori waved his hand, his golden eyes moved slightly, "This ceremony today will definitely satisfy Him."
