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

Chapter 220: A Deal in the Dark: The Secret of the Human Laboratory Project

Conan continued: "In this way, we can create some false impressions based on their conflicts and make them unable to take care of themselves."

Kudo Yuki showed an approving look: "However, I did this to let them bite each other, without creating conflicts, because their current conflicts have been further intensified."

Amuro Toru nodded slightly, acknowledging the siblings' analysis. "Now we just need to wait for the right time and let their conflict erupt naturally."

"When we take action, I will take advantage of every opportunity to gather intelligence and provide more support." As soon as she finished speaking, Kudo Yuki's phone received two text messages. The first one was from Karasuma Renya:

Fine wine, 3 days later, you will follow Vermouth. Observe the FBI secretly and find out what the FBI will lose from this operation. Bourbon is temporarily under your command. During this mission, you must not let him meet other people in the organization, and must not be discovered by the FBI, so as not to expose his identity. If the operation does not meet expectations, Bourbon will have another follow-up undercover mission. - Old man

The other one is indeed a text message from Vermouth:

Fine wine, some things need to be discussed in person. Meet in a private room of a high-end restaurant in half an hour. - Vermouth: Absinthe

Conan saw the slightly changed expression of Kudo Yuki after she received the text message. He was about to ask, but Kudo Yuki took the lead: "Conan, there is something I need to take care of. Toru, please drive Conan back to the Kudo residence."

Conan was unwilling to be sent away like this, "Sis, what happened? I can help."

"This is an adult matter, you go home and wait for news."

Toru Amuro took Conan to the car. Along the way, Conan tried to get information from Toru Amuro, but Toru Amuro just remained silent.

After sending Conan to the Kudo family's house, Toru Amuro watched Conan walk into the house, thinking about the situation he was about to face.

Kudo Yuki, wearing a half-covered butterfly mask, handed the phone to Amuro Toru. The screen showed text messages from Karasuma Renya and Vermouth.

Toru Amuro quickly glanced through it and frowned slightly.

Kudo Yuki said, "Let's go meet Vermouth first and see what she wants."

Toru Amuro started the car and drove towards the high-end restaurant.

The car sped along the road, Amuro Toru's face was solemn, his hands holding the steering wheel steadily.

Kudo Yuki looked into the distance: "It seems that this mission will not be easy."

"Indeed, the organization's mission is always full of variables and dangers. Especially when it involves the FBI, the situation is even more complicated."

"I don't know why Vermouth is looking for me. I hope it won't cause me more trouble."

"In the organization, everyone has their own calculations, and you can't trust anyone easily."

Soon, the car arrived at its destination.

After getting off the car, the two were led by the waiter to a private room.

Vermouth had been waiting there for a long time. She was sitting there with a glass of red wine in her hand. When she saw them come in, she raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

"Please sit down, fine wine. And bourbon. I didn't expect you to be here." Vermouth's eyes lingered on Amuro Toru for a moment.

After the two of them sat down, Kudo Yuki was the first to murmur, "What do you want from me?"

Vermouth gently shook the wine glass in his hand, "Fine wine, have a drink first, and we'll talk slowly."

Kudo Yuki cooperated and picked up the red wine to taste it. "I didn't expect that you would treat me to such a precious wine. However, the more precious the wine you treat me to, the more it proves how much you care about me."

Vermouth's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile. "Fine wine, you are always so perceptive. This time I came to you for something important."

Toru Amuro narrowed his eyes slightly and observed Vermouth's every move.

Vermouth took a sip of wine, his eyes flickering slightly. "Fine wine, what do you think of the "win-win" deal we mentioned last time? You should know that this is good for both of us."

"I have certainly considered this matter, but the situation in the organization is complex and changeable, and I need more time to weigh the pros and cons."

Amuro Toru remained silent, but in his mind he was quickly analyzing Vermouth's intentions. He adjusted his sitting position so that he could better observe the changes in the expressions of the two.

Vermouth smiled softly, "I understand your caution, fine wine. But time waits for no one, you need to make a decision as soon as possible. After all, there are not many opportunities like this."

"Why are you so persistent in this deal? Is there something hidden that I don't know?"

Vermouth's smile became somewhat mysterious. "There are some things you don't need to know too clearly. You just need to understand that this deal is beneficial to both you and me, and that's enough."

Kudo Yuki raised her eyebrows: "Tell me your conditions and the reasons that can impress me."

Vermouth put down the wine glass and sat up slightly. "Fine wine, my conditions are very simple. In the next operation, you cannot harm three people, Silver Bullet Conan, Angel Mao Lilan, and Aurora Kudo Yuki."

Kudo Yuki's heart moved slightly, but her face remained expressionless and she fell into deep thought.

Amuro Toru showed a puzzled look, "Why is this condition the same as the one you agreed to me before?"

"Bourbon, there are some things that don't need to be asked. I can only reveal part of it. They are an unexpected light in my dark world. Their existence makes me see something different. As for what it is, you don't need to know."

Vermouth gently shook the wine glass, waiting for Kudo Yuki's response.

"Your conditions are indeed very attractive, but I can't make a decision based on your one-sided statement. I need more evidence to prove your sincerity."

"Jia Jiu, you are indeed cautious. I can give you some information about the human laboratory project as a token of my sincerity."

Kudo Yuki's eyes narrowed and she leaned forward slightly. "Human Laboratory Project? What is this?"

She communicated telepathically: "Rat, turn on the recording and write down the information that Vermouth said."

Toru Amuro saw Shu Shu coming out of the portal, holding a recorder in his hand, and jumped to the side of Vermouth to record a video.

"The organization has been conducting a secret human laboratory program to try to develop a drug that can change human genes. This program involves many unknown secrets and dangers."

Vermouth looked at Kudo Yuki's sudden action and frowned slightly, but did not notice anything unusual.

"Fine wine, the human laboratory project is one of the most secretive and dangerous projects of the organization. The core of this project is to achieve the crazy experiment of that old guy's so-called immortality. However, the experimental process is extremely cruel, and some lives have been lost in the process."

She paused slightly and took a sip of wine, "Some of the selected test subjects came from all walks of life and were brought to the laboratory by the organization through various means.

There, they suffered inhuman torture and pain. The injections of various drugs brought their bodies and minds to the brink of collapse. In order to realize this ambitious plan, the organization did not hesitate to invest a lot of resources and manpower.

Their purpose is not only to obtain a way to prolong life, but also for his own selfish desires. He wants to control the entire world through this technology. If this plan succeeds, it will bring unimaginable consequences to all of us. "

Kudo Yuki's face was solemn, and her body was slightly tense. "How much do you know about the details of this plan?"

Vermouth shook his head slightly. "What I know is just the tip of the iceberg. But what is certain is that this plan has attracted the attention of some forces, and the organization is facing more risks as a result."

Amuro Toru listened quietly, his eyes revealing vigilance and thinking. He knew the seriousness of this human laboratory plan, and once it was leaked, it would cause a huge shock.

"Absinthe, why are you telling me this?"

"Because we have common interests. The organization's ambitions are growing, and sooner or later it will threaten every one of us."

Kudo Yuki stared at Vermouth closely, her eyes full of scrutiny. "Common interests? I'm not sure our interests are completely consistent."

"Jianyin, in this organization, we are all looking for our own way to survive. And now, this human laboratory project is undoubtedly a huge threat. If we let it develop, we may all be dragged into it and unable to extricate ourselves."

Amuro Toru interrupted, "Indeed, once this plan is exposed, it will cause a huge uproar. The organization will also become the target of criticism, and it will be difficult for us to remain unscathed."

Kudo Yuki leaned back in her chair. "So, what are you going to do? Just telling me this information is not enough for me to trust you completely."

Vermouth's eyes flashed with determination. "I will continue to collect intelligence about this plan, and when the time is right, I will work with you to stop this plan from going forward."

"Okay, I can consider your deal. Absinthe, you should know that I will not be easily taken advantage of. If you want me to participate in this deal, I need to see more actual actions, not just verbal promises."

"In addition to the intelligence on the human laboratory program, I can also reveal some other secrets within the organization."

Amuro Toru's eyes shone. This information was extremely important to them. He was ready to listen carefully to what Vermouth would say next.

"The organization is not united now. The struggle between Gin and Rum has been surging for a long time."

At this time, a waiter knocked on the door: "Do you need any service?"

Vermouth raised her eyes slightly and looked towards the door, "No need, don't bother me."

The waiter quickly responded and left.

Vermouth retracted her gaze, “Gin and Rum, although they are both core figures of the organization, they have their own thoughts.

Gin has always occupied an important position in the organization with his ruthlessness and loyalty. He pursues efficient completion of tasks at all costs.

Rum, on the other hand, is more focused on strategy and planning. He tries to consolidate his position by controlling more information and resources.

There are huge disagreements over how tasks are carried out, how resources are allocated, and how they envision the future of the organization.”

Amuro Toru frowned, "It seems that the conflict between them will erupt sooner or later."

"Yes, the conflict between them has become increasingly acute. In the recent missions, their opinions have often conflicted, and they have even tried to sabotage each other.

Some members of the organization also began to take sides, and the situation became increasingly complicated. "

Kudo Yuki looked at Vermouth thoughtfully, "So, what role do you play in this fight?"

"Me? I'm just a bystander. When the time is right, I will choose the side that is most beneficial to me. After all, in this dangerous organization, survival is the most important thing."

Kudo Yuki narrowed her eyes slightly. "You, a bystander, are not that simple. You must have your own purpose for revealing these things."

"My purpose, naturally, is to find a way out of this chaos. The future of the organization is full of uncertainty, and I need to plan for myself."

Toru Amuro fixed his eyes on Vermouth, "The fight between Rum and Gin may be an opportunity for us. But we must be careful not to get dragged into it and become a victim of their fight."

“In this fight, we must keep a clear head and assess the situation.

However, I can reveal that the top leaders of the organization have also noticed the fight between the two of them, but have not taken any clear action. Perhaps they are also observing to see who can gain the upper hand in this fight. "

Kudo Yuki took a sip of red wine and said, "Then we will wait and see for now. Do you have any more specific information about the human laboratory plan?"

"What I know now is that the experiment is not going smoothly. The organization is constantly adjusting the experimental plan, but it still faces many technical difficulties. As for the key people or links, I am still investigating further."

Vermouth watched the wine swirl in the glass. "I will continue to work hard to gather intelligence. Good wine, I hope you can make a decision soon."

Kudo Yuki was silent for a moment, then raised her chin slightly. "I will consider your deal carefully. But before that, I need more time to assess the risks and benefits."

Vermouth smiled, as if she was not surprised by Kudo Yuki's answer. "Okay, I look forward to your decision." "Let's stop here today, fine wine."

I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible. Remember, our transaction is related to the fate of many people. Consider it carefully, but don't let the opportunity slip through your fingers. "

After saying that, the three of them walked out of the private room, and Shu Shu returned to Kudo Yuki's pocket.

Led by the waiter, they left the high-end restaurant, got into their own cars, started the engines, drove out slowly, and gradually disappeared into the distance.

At the same time, Kudo Yusaku was sitting in his study, thinking about a complicated case. Suddenly, the ringing of his cell phone broke the silence. He put down his book and picked up the phone. It was a request from Maori Kogoro.

After hearing this, Kudo Yusaku stood up, put on his coat, strode out of the house and rushed to the Metropolitan Police Department.
