Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World

Episode 161: The Secret War at the Winery: The Game of Power and Intelligence

Kudo Yuki was strolling on the street, leisurely admiring the exhibits in the street windows. The vibration of her cell phone broke the tranquility.

She took out her cell phone and the content of the text message appeared before her:

Fine wine, it's time to find a place to meet! See you at 12 noon at Iroha Sushi Restaurant. ——Rum: Rum

The corners of Kudo Yuki's mouth could not help but curl up, and she smiled meaningfully. After Shushu saw the message on Kudo Yuki's shoulder, his eyes widened, "Xiaoxue, this rum is very suspicious, Shushu wants to record it."

Kudo Yuki reached out and touched Shu Shu's little head. "Don't worry, Shu Shu. Since he wants to meet, do it secretly so that he can't find out."

After Kudo Yuki told him about his plan, Shushu's eyes lit up, "Xiaoxue, let's go now. I want to teach him a lesson."

Kudo Yuki looked at Shushu's eager look, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Shushu, a little revenge is enough, don't make a big deal out of it."

After saying that, Shushu rubbed his hands on her shoulders, preparing for the upcoming meeting.

Kudo Yuki went around to a road section where there was no surveillance, took out a half-covered butterfly mask from her bag and put it on, then put on gray and black clothes and came to the Beika Iroha Sushi Restaurant.

After entering the store, Shushu jumped onto the table next to him and started recording.

When Wakita Kensuke saw Kudo Yuki coming, he bowed slightly with a humble smile on his face, "Welcome to the Mika Iroha Sushi Restaurant, please come in."

Wakita Kanenori brought Kudo Yuki to a room where no one would disturb him. The room was simply decorated. "Guest, how many of you are there?"

Kudo Yuki only said three words: "Wait for someone."

Wakita Kensuke greeted him warmly, "Sir, the person you are waiting for has specially asked me to order you a portion of our signature sushi. You can eat while you wait."

Kudo Yuki nodded slightly, and Wakita Kensuke left the room. The smile on his face disappeared instantly. He went to the kitchen, made a piece of sushi, and handed it to Kudo Yuki on the table.

"Sir, please enjoy your meal. That person will be here later." Wakita Kensuke's gaze stayed on Kudo Yuki for a moment, then he hurried away.

Kudo Yuki looked at his back with narrowed eyes and thought to herself: "This guy is really good at pretending!" She picked up the chopsticks and ate slowly.

Wakita Kensuke returned to the dressing room, changed his clothes from head to toe, put on a voice changer, and made sure there were no flaws before leaving the dressing room.

Kudo Yuki silently said in her heart: [Sign in.]

"Ding, congratulations to Xiaoxue for signing in successfully today. You have obtained +100 mall points and the Fear Shackles item. The current mall points are 2700. The system space contains: 1 barrel of healing elixir, anti-risk floating tool, water-restoring stone, information on the current situation of the winery organization, distribution map of the location of the winery base, and the Fear Shackles item. Please continue to sign in every day, Xiaoxue."

A system announcement sounded: "The Fear Shackles item will bind the target person with fear for 30 minutes."

"Jianjiu, how is the sushi in this restaurant?" Rum said in a low voice, staring at Kudo Yuki with a scrutinizing look.

Kudo Yuki put down the cutlery in her hand and looked calmly at Rum, "Do you want to inquire about someone or something?"

Hearing this, Rum pointed his orchid finger at himself, raised the corner of his mouth, and revealed a strange smile, "Hey, fine wine, why are you so anxious? Let's talk slowly and enjoy this moment of peace, okay?"

Kudo Yuki was unmoved, and crossed her arms over her chest. "Rum, I heard your question clearly, and you understand what I mean. It's not your style to beat around the bush like this. You look like this... I wonder if you have lost your true self?"

Rum's face darkened instantly, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his seemingly calm appearance.

He put down his hand that was making the orchid finger gesture, leaned back in his chair, and spread his hands. "Hmph, Jiajiu, do you think you know me well? The real me? In this organization, there is no such thing as the real me."

Kudo Yuki was not angry at Rum's attitude. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Rum, I'm curious about why you are so hostile to me? Since the first time the old man asked me to meet you, every time we meet, your reaction is so strong that it's hard for me to ignore it."

Rum snorted coldly and looked at Kudo Yuki with a sharp gaze. "Jiang, you are so smart, can't you guess it? The organization does not allow for too dazzling existence, especially for a character as elusive as you."

After saying this, he crossed his arms over his chest, leaned forward, and said threateningly: "Besides, your way of doing things may not be completely in line with the interests of the organization."

Kudo Yuki sneered, her smile full of sarcasm, "Oh? So, it's just your one-sided fear that I'll split your rights.

This is not difficult to understand. After all, you have worked hard for the old man for so many years, so it is normal to feel a little unwilling. "

After hearing what Kudo Yuki said, Rum's face became even gloomier, and the veins on his forehead throbbed faintly. "Jiang, don't be so arrogant! My position in the organization is not something you can easily shake. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because that gentleman is backing you up."

After saying that, he stood up abruptly and slammed his hands heavily on the table, his eyes filled with anger and murderous intent: "If you don't restrain yourself again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Kudo Yuki just looked at him calmly, her expression calm, "Rum, you seem to have got the wrong direction. From the beginning I was asking you what you wanted to know, but you kept talking about different things and even got so angry.

Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to have so much resentment towards me. I'll mourn for you for a second."

Rum looked gloomy, "Okay, let's get back to the point. Did you notice any unusual behavior from Gin?"

Kudo Yuki put on a disgusted expression, "Don't mention him in front of me. When he rescued Kiel some time ago, another of his subordinates, Chianti, pointed her gun at me, and I killed her directly. It's a waste to keep a disobedient chess piece."

Rum sneered and leaned back, "You're really ruthless. But Gin isn't that easy to reveal. Are you sure you didn't miss anything?"

Kudo Yuki showed a look of disgust, her face full of aversion, "What else could it be? Among the tasks the old man gave me, the one I least wanted to see was him. I'm too lazy to bother with him."

Rum tapped his fingers on the table. "Fine wine, don't underestimate Gin. His position and methods in the organization are not something you can deal with easily. Even if you don't take him seriously now, you have to be careful that he might trip you up in secret."

After saying that, Rum stood up again. "However, since you said so, I will believe you for now. But remember, the rules of the organization cannot be broken. If I find any signs of disloyalty in you, humph, you know the consequences."

Then, Rum stood up and straightened his clothes. "That's all for today. Take care of yourself." He turned around and prepared to leave.

Kudo Yuki raised an eyebrow and looked at Rum without getting angry, with a teasing look in her eyes, "It seems that you have shown all your dissatisfaction with me. You think of me as your subordinate?

You want to leave after getting the result you want? You didn't mention the part of the information that the old man asked you to give me. Are you trying to test my strength?"

Rum's expression instantly turned extremely ugly, "Fine wine, don't push your luck! Intelligence?

When you really do something that satisfies the organization, it will be given to you naturally. I can tell you this today because of that gentleman’s face.”

Kudo Yuki warned telepathically: "Shu Shu, use the fear shackles item, target Rum."

The corners of Kudo Yuki's mouth rose slightly, with a hint of cunning, "Rum, since you are so uncooperative, don't blame me!"

"Ding, the Fear Shackles item has been used."

Kudo Yuki released her pressure, and with a "bang", Rum fell to his knees on the ground, unable to stand up, and he instantly lost the strength to resist.

Under the double blow of fear and pressure, his face turned pale, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his lips trembled, and his voice was filled with fear and unwillingness: "Jia Jiu, you...how dare you!"

He raised his head with difficulty, his eyes full of pleading: "Quick...quickly stop, I...I will give you the information."

Kudo Yuki remained unmoved and continued to release her pressure.

Rum gasped: "I...I said, please...please let me go."

Rum tried hard to squeeze out more words from between his teeth, but his words were incoherent due to fear and pain.

Kudo Yuki withdrew most of her pressure, forcing Rum to kneel on the ground and unable to get up. She said in a cold voice, "Go ahead."

Rum gasped and tried to calm his breathing. "Jiang, you are so cruel! That information...

In the inside pocket of my shirt. It's an encrypted USB drive." He pointed to his shirt pocket with difficulty.

“The password is the reverse order of the organization’s latest action date, and… and, that gentleman is planning a major plan recently, and the specific details are all in the USB drive.

That's all I know, please...please let me go." Rum's body was still trembling slightly, his eyes full of fear of Kudo Yuki.

Kudo Yuki took the USB drive from Rum's arms, inserted it into his phone as a backup, and put it back into his pocket. "Rum, I came here only because the old man asked me to get the information, and I never had the intention to compete.

You do have something to be proud of and a wealth of experience, which are your strengths. But if you can adjust your mindset a little, I believe you will gain something different.”

After saying this, Kudo Yuki withdrew her pressure.

After the pressure disappeared, Rum collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, his eyes filled with a complex emotion of resentment and fear.

He struggled to get up from the ground and sat on the chair, his body still shaking slightly, "Humph, I will remember what you did today."

Rum tidied up his messy clothes with his hands and said, "Don't think that I can be afraid of you like this. The organization will not let you go." After saying that, he staggered to his feet and walked towards the door with unsteady steps.

When he reached the door, he stopped, turned around and glared at Kudo Yuki fiercely, "Let's wait and see." Then he left the room in embarrassment.

Shushu jumped onto Kudo Yuki's shoulder and grabbed her clothes tightly with his little claws. "Xiaoxue, that Rum didn't seem to understand what you meant. He is so utilitarian!"

The mouse's eyes were rolling around, full of liveliness.

Kudo Yuki laughed and teased, "I can only do this within the scope that the old man doesn't suspect me. By the way, Shushu, save the video on your phone."

Shushu put his hands on the phone, transferred the video to the phone, and then lay in Kudo Xue's palm, looking well-behaved.

Kudo Yuki took out pine nuts from her bag and handed them to Shushu. Shushu's eyes lit up. He took the pine nuts and cracked them happily, making a "crunching" sound.

Soon, Shushu regained his strength, and the fur on his body trembled slightly because of satisfaction. Kudo Yuki touched his fur, which felt soft and warm.

"Shu Shu, don't you want to teach Rum a lesson? See if there is a bad luck charm in the system mall. Buy one for him. You can decide how long it will take. Just stop when you have enough."

Shushu's eyes suddenly sparkled with stars. He fumbled with the system mall, his claws sliding quickly across the screen.

"Ding, congratulations to Xiaoxue for purchasing a bad luck charm. It costs 300 points and is valid for 2 hours. The target person is Rum. The item has been used."

The corners of Kudo Yuki's mouth twitched, and her brows furrowed slightly, "Shu Shu, two hours, are you sure he won't blame me for the bad luck?"

Shushu scratched his head and began to stare at the mall again. "Ding, congratulations to Xiaoxue for purchasing the memory modification item. The consumption of points is 400. The target person is Rum. The item has been used."

"Xiaoxue, don't worry. He will only remember the unfavorable things that happened when they met you before. Shushu is going to see the unfortunate Rum." After saying that, Shushu disappeared.

Kudo Yuki walked out of the Beika Iroha Sushi Restaurant. The afternoon sun shone on her, casting a long shadow.

She walked to the back door of the secret weapons base, stopped, took out her cell phone from her bag, sent the video to Karasuma Renya's email, and sent a text message:

Old man, I received your information, but Rum seems to hold a grudge against me. He is in trouble. ——Vintage Wine: Fine Wine

Kudo Yuki put the mask and clothes neatly into her bag and carefully arranged her makeup and clothes. Soon, she received a reply from Karasuma Renya:

Fine wine, you don't have to worry about this matter. I will find a time to let Gin punish Rum according to the rules. I will inform you if there is anything. - Old man

After seeing the reply, Kudo Yuki breathed a sigh of relief and then walked away.

After leaving the secret weapons base, Kudo Yuki felt much more relaxed. She strolled down the street, the breeze blowing through her hair.

Meanwhile, Rum was having problems. He had just walked a short distance when it suddenly started to rain without warning, soaking him like a drowned chicken. He finally found a place to take shelter from the rain, but he accidentally stepped on a banana peel and fell.

Rum cursed inwardly, but couldn't understand why he suddenly became so unlucky.
