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

Akai Shuichi and Conan were both thinking: [A made-up name. What is Rum's purpose?]

Amuro Toru also pondered the deeper meaning behind Rum's behavior. "Rum's actions are really hard to understand. What is he planning?"

Kudo Yuki's lips curled slightly, "I have met with Rum once, and Toru and Conan also know about this."

Her words made everyone focus on her, hoping that she could provide more information about Rum.

Akai Shuichi raised his eyes slightly, "Was there anything special about that meeting?"

Kudo Yuki paused for a moment, recalling the encounter with Rum. "We met at Iroha Sushi that time, but he disguised himself to complete the mission.

No one except Gin has ever seen Rum's true face. He is impatient, cunning, and likes to hide his whereabouts. He will choose whether to cover his artificial eye with an eyepatch according to the mission requirements. "

When everyone heard Kudo Yuki's description, their expressions became more solemn.

Akai Shuichi said thoughtfully: "Such a cautious style of action is indeed hard to understand."

Amuro Toru frowned and said in a deep voice, "He chose to meet at Iroha Sushi Restaurant. He must have some special considerations. The environment there may be more conducive to his actions."

Conan's little brain was working rapidly, "Sister Xue, did he do anything special or say anything special when we met?"

Kudo Yuki scratched her brother's nose and said, "Little adult, since you've asked this much, I'll give you some FBI information."

With everyone's attention sharper, she straightened up slightly and began to recount more details of her meeting with Rum.

“I met with Rum on the old man’s orders, but Rum only asked about Gin’s whereabouts and didn’t mention any intelligence.

I used a little trick to get the USB flash drive from his pocket and copied out a copy of the information. It contained Rum's action plan against the FBI.

That's why I contacted Judy through Conan, and then contacted James through Judy, and told the FBI in advance about this operation organized by the winery.

Thanks to this mission, I discovered another secret of Rum. He would change his voice according to the time period. This time the voice was a mixed sound with a mechanical texture. The last time he met me, he used the voice of a normal man.

Akai Shuichi, do you remember the video you saw in the living room where Gin personally punished Rum? That video was the punishment that the old man personally gave to Rum after I met him and Rum did not fulfill his mission. "

Akai Shuichi nodded slightly, "That video is indeed impressive. Rum's identity is so mysterious, but he was also punished. It can be seen that the old man's control over him should not be underestimated."

A complex emotion flashed in Amuro Toru's eyes. "This video also gives us a deeper understanding of the power structure within the distillery. Although rum has a high status, it is not unshakable."

Conan fell into deep thought, "Sister Xue, what effect do you think this punishment will have on Rum's actions?"

Kudo Yuki frowned slightly. "It's hard to say, but what is certain is that Rum will be more cautious, and may also take more radical actions to restore his position."

Her eyes fell on Cameron and Akai Shuichi. "Okay, I've already told you part of the information you want to know. Next, I also want some information from the FBI. How about an equal exchange?"

When everyone heard Kudo Yuki's request, they fell into a brief silence.

James was the first to break the silence. He nodded slightly and said, "Ms. Kudo, your information is indeed very valuable. But the FBI's information cannot be disclosed easily. We need to consider it carefully."

Cameron also nodded. "We need to weigh the pros and cons. After all, the exchange of intelligence may bring unpredictable consequences."

Akai Shuichi crossed his arms and looked at Kudo Yuki deeply, "What kind of information do you want? If it is within a reasonable range, we can consider exchanging it."

The corners of Kudo Yuki's mouth rose. "I want to know who you two met in the warehouse two years ago when Akai Shuichi was still an undercover agent in the winery organization?"

Akai Shuichi frowned slightly, lost in memories. Cameron was thinking about the scene at that time.

After a moment, Cameron spoke first: "Two years ago, we met an elderly man with a cane in the warehouse. I advised him to leave and told him it was not safe."

Akai Shuichi continued to murmur: "The old man looked very mysterious, and his appearance surprised us. But we didn't realize his true identity at the time, we just felt that his appearance was a little strange."

"I see." Kudo Yuki smiled the same smile she had at the winery: "No wonder after that incident, when Cohen was in charge of monitoring the meeting, the camera stopped.

Rum emailed Cohen the photo of the rye whiskey and FBI agent Cameron, telling Cohen to kill you when he sees it."

When everyone heard what Kudo Yuki said, their expressions varied.

Akai Shuichi narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the scene at that time. Cameron showed a surprised expression, obviously he did not expect that the encounter would lead to so many subsequent events.

Akai Shuichi and Amuro Toru were very familiar with the smile that Kudo Yuki showed when they met at the winery. This smile carried a hint of cunning and confidence.

They knew that once Kudo Yuki smiled like this, it meant that she had a new plan or discovery.

Amuro Toru was filled with worry, as he was always concerned about Kudo Yuki's safety. He gently held Kudo Yuki's hand, giving her silent support.

The Kudo couple looked at their daughter with concern in their eyes.

Kudo Yusaku frowned slightly, thinking about what his daughter said, while Yukiko looked at her daughter nervously, fearing that she would be in danger.

Kudo Yuki's eyes narrowed into half-moon shapes, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, with a hint of intimidation: "So this is the real reason why Akai Shuichi was exposed as an undercover agent! Rum is really calculating."

Everyone was silent and the air was filled with tension.

Akai Shuichi's eyes became more profound. "It seems that Rum has been planning since then. He deliberately let us meet the old man in the warehouse, perhaps to lead to a series of subsequent events."

Amuro Toru nodded slightly, "His mind is so meticulous that one has to be on guard."

Conan's face was full of contemplation. His childish voice broke the silence: "Sister Xue, what do you think Rum will do next?"

Kudo Yuki shook her head slightly. "I don't know either, but you misunderstood one point. Two years ago, the old man with a cane who was disabled and had difficulty moving around that Agent Cameron and Akai Shuichi met in the warehouse was Rum who had disguised himself."

When everyone heard Kudo Yuki's conclusion, they were shocked beyond words.

James was surprised: "That old man is actually Rum? This is really hard to imagine."

Cameron was so shocked that his mouth opened wide. He recalled the scene at that time and tried to find some clues: "I didn't think of it at all... If it was Rum, his disguise was too perfect."

Akai Shuichi frowned, his eyes full of contemplation: "So, Rum has been secretly observing us since then, and his plan is far more far-reaching than we thought."

Amuro Toru held Kudo Yuki's hand tightly, his worry growing stronger: "Xiaoxue, rum is so cunning, you must be more careful in the distillery."

Kudo Yuki felt Amuro Toru's concern and responded with a smile: "I will protect myself."

Conan analyzed the current situation: "If that old man is Rum, then what is his purpose? Is it just to lead to subsequent events?"

"Rum's specific purpose is still unclear, but what is certain is that two years ago, he appeared there for two reasons: first, to test the waters, and second, to select candidates."

Akai Shuichi stroked his chin and slowly said, "What are you testing? Who are you going to choose?"

Kudo Yuki narrowed her eyes slightly, "Rum has always been cautious and suspicious. His appearance may be to test whether there is an undercover in the organization, or to test the reaction of those of us who have contact with the organization.

As for picking people, I guess he might be looking for someone he can use, or he might be watching for potential threats.”

Amuro Toru frowned, "So, our every move is under his surveillance."

Kudo Yuki did not comment: "Although he is the second in command of the winery organization, Rum is also under the jurisdiction of the old man, and his little thoughts need to be investigated. What's more, Rum has been particularly dissatisfied since the first time he saw me.

In addition, the old man ordered me to obtain some information from Rum, and Rum always believed that I would gradually divide his position in the winery organization. "

Conan frowned, "Sister Xue, what should we do now?"

Kudo Yuki thought for a moment and said, "We need to continue to collect intelligence about Rum and understand his action patterns and purposes. At the same time, we must also strengthen our own defenses to avoid being calculated by him."

James' expression was serious. "We at the FBI will also fully cooperate to fight against the winery organization."

Cameron clenched his fists and said, "We must avenge our fallen companions."

Yukiko walked up to Kudo Yuki and said, "Xiaoxue, please be careful. Mom is worried about you."

Kudo Yusaku also said: "If you need anything, please let us know at any time and we will find a way to help you."

"Dad and Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of myself." Kudo Yuki changed the subject: "By the way, I also recorded a very interesting video related to this operation. Do you want to watch it?"

When everyone heard Kudo Yuki's proposal, they all showed a look of surprise on their faces.

Akai Shuichi nodded slightly: "Since you said it's interesting, why not let us take a look."

Amuro Toru nodded in agreement: "Maybe we can find some new clues from the video."

Kudo Yuki communicated telepathically: "Shu Shu, send the recorded video to my phone."

"Ding, the video has been sent successfully."

Toru Amuro had been paying attention to Kudo Yuki's actions. When he heard what Kudo Yuki had instructed Shu Shu to do, he felt confused.

He walked over to Kudo Yuki and lowered his voice: "Xiaoxue, what is the content of this video?"

Kudo Yuki smiled mysteriously and did not answer immediately. She shook the phone in her hand, with a cunning look in her eyes. "When everyone is ready, we will know when we watch it together."

As Toru Amuro looked at Kudo Yuki's expression, his desire for knowledge became even stronger.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the phone in Kudo Yuki's hand, waiting to see what would appear in the video.

Kudo Yuki turned on her phone and played the video of Binga and Vodka being tricked. Everyone's attention was instantly attracted by the funny scene on the screen.

Everyone watched the video and was surprised at first, then burst into laughter.

James laughed so hard that he fell backwards, pointing at the screen, his face full of laughter, "These two guys are so embarrassed."

Akai Shuichi raised his lips slightly, revealing that he was feeling much more relaxed at the moment. A barely perceptible smile flashed across his eyes: "This is an unexpected gain."

Amuro Toru turned to look at Kudo Yuki and said teasingly, "Xiaoxue, this trick is really amazing. They definitely didn't expect to fall into such a trap."

Conan's eyes sparkled, he held his stomach with his hands while laughing, his little face full of excitement: "Haha, they are so funny."

The Kudo couple also laughed heartily at the scenes in the video. Yukiko covered her mouth and laughed so hard that she shook her body: "These two guys are so funny." Kudo Yusaku smiled and nodded, his eyes full of pride for his daughter.

Cameron watched the video of himself scattering coffee beans, and the smug look on his face became more and more intense.

He laughed and murmured, "Haha, look at how miserable they are! When I scattered these coffee beans, I thought it would definitely give them a taste of their own medicine, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good."

Judy crossed her arms in front of her chest, raised the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were full of praise: "Ms. Kudo's move is really clever. Vodka and Binga's embarrassed look will probably be remembered by them for a long time."

The other FBI agents also laughed and discussed the matter.

"These two guys are usually so arrogant, but now they are frustrated."

"Ms. Kudo is so creative. This video will definitely be a great tool for us to relieve stress."

Everyone was talking at the same time, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

James smiled and shook his head: "It seems that our opponents are not invincible. Miss Kudo's move has greatly reduced their image."

A thought flashed through Akai Hide's eyes: "This also reminds us that sometimes unexpected means may have unexpected results."

Amuro Toru looked at Kudo Yuki with eyes full of fondness: "Xiaoxue, you always bring surprises to people."

Conan came over and said, "Sister Xue, if you have such a plan next time, you must call me."

Kudo Yuki looked at everyone's reactions, smiled and murmured, "This is just a small episode. We will formulate strategies more specifically in the future."
