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

Chapter 225: Undercurrents in Guxi Town: Winery Hunting, Who Will Be the Master?

Kudo Yuki came to the street corner, where the night breeze blew gently. The lights at the street corner were dim, and the surrounding buildings were shadowy in the night, adding a bit of mystery to the atmosphere.

Vermouth was already waiting there, wearing a beret tilted slightly, covering part of her face, and dressed in black.

"You're right on time, fine wine."

"What exactly is your mission?"

"You'll understand clearly once you get there. Let's go." Vermouth turned and walked towards the dark street.

Kudo Yuki followed her, and they came to a sparsely populated port, where a black sedan was waiting in front.

Vermouth approached and knocked on the car window. The window was rolled down, making a slight sound.

Kudo Yuki saw that Gin had a cigarette in his mouth, and the red cigarette butt was flickering faintly in the darkness. Her brows were furrowed and then relaxed, and her eyes were full of indifference.

Vermouth murmured, "Fine wine, get in the car."

Gin saw Kudo Yuki but didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Vermouth: "Why are you so slow, Absinthe."

Vodka sat in the passenger seat and looked back. "So what about the person you investigated?"

Vermouth showed a disappointed expression: "It's really meaningless. I can kill him anytime."

The smoke from Gin's cigarette filled the car. "Didn't you take care of him?"

Vermouth leaned on his arm and looked out the window, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Well, not today. But when necessary, we can take action at any time."

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became tense. Kudo Yuki remained silent, but her mind was rapidly calculating the various variables that might arise from this mission.

"Fine wine, I didn't expect you could get that gentleman to issue such an order." Gin paused and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. "Rum... Humph, he has come to this day."

Smoke filled the air, blurring his expression. "But you'd better be careful. In this organization, no one can stay out of it. Even if you are not bound by the rules, don't think you can always be safe."

Kudo Yuki said expressionlessly: "I am not interested in the feud between you and Rum. However, after that incident, the old man asked Absinthe to send me the video of you personally punishing Rum."

The corner of Gin's mouth twitched slightly, as if he recalled the scene when he punished Rum. His eyes became even colder.

"Well, Rum has it all his own way. He kept asking you about my whereabouts, but he refused to give you some of the information as ordered. This has touched the bottom line of that gentleman.

That gentleman thought that Rum was too arrogant and did not take the organization's orders seriously, so he ordered me to punish him."

Gin raised his chin slightly and sneered: "Rum thought he could control everything, but he didn't know that in the eyes of that gentleman, he was just a chess piece. This punishment is just to teach him a lesson. If he still doesn't repent, it won't be so easy next time."

Vermouth tilted her head slightly, a faint smile on her lips. "Gin, you are still so cold and ruthless. However, Rum is not a pushover either. After suffering a loss this time, he will definitely take the opportunity to retaliate."

Gin snorted coldly and put out his cigarette in the ashtray in the car. "If he dares to retaliate, I will make him disappear forever. In this organization, only absolute obedience can survive."

Vodka twisted his body uncomfortably in the driver's seat. "Brother, where are we going now?"

"Go and complete the mission."

The car started slowly and disappeared into the dark night.

Vermouth withdrew her gaze from the window. In this organization full of dangers and conspiracies, everyone had their own position and purpose. And she was also looking for her own way to survive.

At the same time, in the Kudo family house, after Kudo Yuki left, Amuro Toru was sitting in the living room. He looked towards the door from time to time, as if waiting for something.

Conan hurried to the bedroom door of the Kudo couple and knocked on the door vigorously, "Hey, don't sleep. Vermouth was here just now, and you two suddenly fell ill..."

Before he finished speaking, the door opened from the inside. Akai Shuichi, wearing a headset, winked at Conan and made a gesture to keep quiet. "Judy, Cameron, what's the situation?"

"No bugs or hidden cameras were found in the study."

"There's nothing wrong with the other rooms either. The best-selling author's plan is really brilliant. It looks like they were completely fooled!"

Akai Shuichi nodded slightly: "Well, we can't take it lightly."

Conan was stunned, his mouth opened wide, his face full of surprise: "Aka, Mr. Akai, dad, and mom, what's going on? Does my sister know about this?"

When Toru Amuro heard Conan knocking anxiously on the door upstairs, he hurried upstairs to check what was going on. When he arrived at the door of the Kudo couple's bedroom, he saw the scene in front of him, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Yukiko bent down with a gentle smile on her face. "I told Yusaku that someone seemed to be spying on us recently, so your father suggested making a bigger noise to see what the other party was up to."

Kudo Yusaku looked down at Conan, "Sure enough, someone put a suspicious Italian restaurant flyer in the mailbox, and we took advantage of it.

The food tasted a bit strange. I checked later and found out that someone had added distigmine bromide to the food we ordered. Thanks to Xiaoxue's reminder, I was able to make adequate preparations. "

"So you didn't eat?"

Yukiko shook her head and murmured with a smile, "To be precise, we pretended to eat them, but we finally decided to eat just one. We poured the rest of the vegetables into the bag. I quite liked that bag. However, Xiaoxue did help us detoxify."

Kudo Yusaku went on to explain: "The symptoms after taking distigmine bromide are the same as those of food poisoning. Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, sweating, so we faked these symptoms to lure the snake out of its hole."

Then he leaned down and looked at Conan: "Let them think we can take advantage of them at any time and have no defense at all, so that they can relax their vigilance. Even if you don't tell Xiaoxue, your sister will notice it."

Conan rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Then why didn't you tell me?"

Kudo Yusaku smiled and replied: "If you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your own people!"

Conan muttered, "That's exactly what my sister said."

Yukiko smiled and leaned close to Conan's ear, whispering, "And Sharon seems to like you very much, Shinichi."

Akai Shuichi said, "For now we don't have to worry about them attacking here."

Kudo Yusaku pondered: "Well, let's just wait and see what happens. Let's see what big moves that organization will make."

When Toru Amuro saw that they had finished their conversation, he walked to the door and frowned slightly. His eyes revealed his worry: "Xiaoxue, they have already started to act. It won't be long before we know what they are going to do."

At 9:2 in the evening, the streets around Koshicho -chome were exceptionally quiet, with only the occasional passing vehicle breaking the tranquility.

Vodka parked the car on the side of the road and the roar of the engine gradually subsided.

Gin sat in the passenger seat with a stern look on his face. He turned his head and gave Vodka a few brief and cold instructions, and then the four of them got out of the car together.

As the three of them gradually walked away, Kudo Xuejian came to a position where she could observe the whole situation without being easily discovered. There was a box half a person's height here, and she hid behind it sideways, with only a pair of eyes exposed, staring at the front.

She communicated telepathically: "Rat, follow Vodka and Gin and make sure to record what they are going to do. I estimate that we will have to go back and forth several times this time, so it may be a bit tiring for you."

Shushu turned on the video equipment and system screen, and waved its paw at Kudo Yuki.

"Xiaoxue, I'm going for a walk. Remember to prepare some more pine nuts for me. I'll leave the system screen for you to watch." After saying that, Shushu disappeared like an elf.

Kudo Yuki stared at the screen and saw Gin and Vodka walk into a narrow alley.

Soon, they found an FBI agent. Tony was looking forward to meeting his companions. He stood there, thinking about the famous ramen he had just missed, and was unaware of the danger approaching.

Gin's eyes swept over him and he slowly raised the gun in his hand. The FBI agent's eyes were instantly filled with fear. He tried to struggle, but there was no time to make any effective response.

"Bang!" A gunshot pierced the silent night sky. The bullet shot towards him at an extremely fast speed and penetrated his body in an instant.

The FBI officer's eyes widened in disbelief. His body slowly fell to the ground, blood gushing out from the wound, staining the ground red.

Life became extremely fragile at this moment, and a vibrant life disappeared under Gin's gun.

In a nearby alley, another FBI agent was looking at the time on his watch. "Really? Tony is so slow. Is he waiting in line for the internet-famous ramen again? Or, or..."

The FBI agent picked up the phone and looked at the digital code: "Did I read it wrong? This code..."

The FBI agent heard footsteps behind him, "Finally you're here, Tony."

When Tony turned around, he saw Vodka holding Tony's blood-stained FBI ID photo, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

The smile on Vodka's face widened: "Sorry, Tony can't come anymore."

Tony cursed, "Damn it," and turned and ran away. Vodka stuffed Tony's ID photo back into his arms.

Before he ran far, Gin kicked Tony in the face. Tony fell to the ground and covered his face with his hands. When he looked up and saw who had beaten him, he was horrified: "Gin, Gin!"

Vodka walked up to Gin, and the two looked at Tony who was sitting on the ground. When he opened his mouth, Gin took the opportunity to put the muzzle of his gun into Tony's mouth: "Where is your lair? Do you want to tell me or not?"

Tony shook his head and Gin stared at him, "Oh? Don't tell me. Then you're useless."

Tony murmured incoherently, "Stop it, don't."

The next second, the bullet went off with a bang and pierced Tony's throat.

Vodka saw the secret code in Tony's cell phone, stuffed it into his arms, and a smug look flashed in his eyes.

Kudo Yuki took out a microphone from her bag: "Toru, Gin and Vodka have killed two FBI agents and taken the code from the phone. They are heading towards the car and plan to take action during the day."

Amuro Toru received the message from Kudo Yuki and thought about how to deal with it. He gave his men instructions: "Be careful to hide and report any situation at any time."

At the same time, he tried to obtain more intelligence about the Gin and Vodka operation through various channels.

Meanwhile, in the alley, Gin and Vodka were walking quickly towards their car.

Gin's face was gloomy. He held his phone tightly, ready to go back to the car to crack the code he got from the agent's phone.

Vodka was watching the surroundings carefully, and after making sure there was no danger, he opened the door. They got in the car, and Gin swiped the screen of his phone, trying to crack the code. He also sent a message to Vermouth to inform her of the current situation.

After receiving the message, Vermouth contacted Kudo Yuki and walked towards the car together.

When the two returned to the car, they saw Gin swiping the screen of his mobile phone to crack the code, while Vodka started the car and drove towards Beika Town.

The night gradually faded away, the stars disappeared into the morning light, and the faint light seemed to be swallowed up bit by bit by the rising sun.

The streets were filled with a tense atmosphere, and the humid air seemed to become even heavier because of this solemnity.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Gin finally cracked the code. The corners of his mouth slightly raised were as cold as a blade. Seeing this, Vodka also became excited.

A few minutes later, another car stopped here. The friction between the wheels and the ground was particularly harsh in the quiet morning.

The car door opened, and the three winery members who got out were none other than Kiel, Cohen, and Binga. Mizunashi Rena saw Kudo Yuki and quickly gave her a look, meaning that her mission this time was to explore the situation.

Cohen and Binga, however, both carried guns and quickly climbed to the roof of an abandoned building in Beika Town. They set up their guns and looked at the surrounding streets, waiting for their "prey" to appear.

Kudo Yuki, Vermouth, Gin, and Vodka also got off the car one after another. They each found a place to wait. They hid in the dark, observing the movements around them, waiting for the arrival of the FBI agents.

Kudo Yuki realized that the situation was becoming more and more critical, and she once again conveyed the latest situation to Amuro Toru through the transmitter.

"Toru, Gin has cracked the code and is now near Beika-cho. Cohen and Binga are here too. They are expected to start the operation soon. Send a police car to Koji-cho 2-chome to clean up the battlefield."

When Amuro Toru heard the latest message from Kudo Yuki, his expression instantly became more solemn. He narrowed his eyes slightly and walked to a relatively quiet corner so as not to disturb the people who were discussing countermeasures.

He pressed the microphone and gave the order: "Everyone, please pay attention. Gin has cracked the code and is currently located near Beihua Town. Cohen and Binga have also arrived. The situation is critical. All teams should act according to the plan.

"Group One will immediately go to Koji-cho 2-chome to clean up the battlefield and collect all possible clues. Group Two will continue to strengthen surveillance of the area around Beihua-cho. Group Three will be ready to provide support at any time and must not slack off at all."
