Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 412 Let’s smash that slime organization to pieces

Under the iron frame.

Hiroki watched them busying around and felt as if he was being ignored. He took out a Chinese booklet and began to study it with melancholy.

When they return from Osaka this time, they will be taking the exam soon...

Lately I've been running back and forth between solving cases and committing crimes every day, which is really fulfilling.

But why do I always feel a little cold under this iron rack?

……

Maybe because he had been in the sun for too long, Lie felt a little stuffy even with his cloak on, so he simply took off his hat and looked at Kuaidou working underwater. "By the way, Kuaidou~ What are you doing with this fishing net? Are you catching fish?"

"What fish are you trying to catch? Of course I'm trying to catch myself..."

When Kaito heard about fish, he trembled all over - he was the great Kaito Kidd, he was really fearless, but he was afraid of slippery and soft creatures like fish...

No, he got even more scared just thinking about it!

"Fishing yourself?" Lie blinked. "Are you planning to escape from the water?"

He planned to get some information from Kaito and then tell the police quietly.

"Of course not..." Kaito shook his head seriously, "I'm just trying to guard against the organization that opposed my father in the past."

Several times before, he encountered sniper attacks from those people when he was stealing gems. Basically, the number of times the other party obstructed him accounted for half of all his actions, which was about 50-50.

In every previous operation, Kaito would prepare some backup plans to deal with those people, and this time was no exception.

"The organization that is against your father..."

Lie raised his head and thought for a while. He vaguely remembered that he had seen this in Kaito's report. After a long while, he clapped his hands:

"Oh yeah~ That's the one you mentioned, the one called 'Slime' who always obstructs you, right?"

Kaito, who was pulling the fishing net in the water, choked on a mouthful of sea water and showed his dead fish eyes: "Uncle Lie, it's 'Snake', not 'Slime'!"

Although the pronunciation is slightly similar, it is completely different!

Come to think of it, how come Uncle Lie and Uncle Ren’s memories are so synchronized?

"It's pretty much the same."

"How can they be similar? Only the first word is the same."

Kuroba Kaito raised his head speechlessly and looked at Rei, only to find that the latter was looking at him with an innocent face.

At this time, Kuroba Kaito realized belatedly:

The person who just spoke didn't seem to be Uncle Lie...

Then, a familiar voice sounded again, sounding quite depressed: "I say... is my sense of existence so low?"

"?!"

Kuroba Kaito was startled and quickly turned his head to look around.

"Right, right."

The sound has become somewhat lifeless.

Following the instructions, Kuroba Kaito concentrated a little and finally saw the person.

Gin was sitting under the iron rack next to them, hugging Hiroki, and the two were sharing candy.

"Uncle Blade, when did you come?"

Kuroba Kaito let out a cry of surprise, adjusted the fishing net a little, and rolled out of the water, his clothes already soaked.

"Brother Ren has been here for a while~ since you installed the fishing net." Rei's words touched Gin deeply:

"strong……"

"Brother Blade!"

Lie rushed over, but was grabbed by Gin's collar: "But I have been here since you were setting up the lifeboat!"

He is so angry!

Has my sense of existence become so low that even my own people can ignore me?

Hiroki, who was enjoying the show, lowered his head guiltily, looking at the booklet, pretending that he was studying hard.

Just now he took out a book and read for a while, until he suddenly heard the words "How is your study going?", and then he realized that there was such a big Gin sitting next to him.

Why does he always feel like there is a chill coming from the side?

Fierce beady eyes: "Huh? Yes, really..."

Strange, he clearly didn't feel anyone else around just now...

Gin complained to Retsu and Kaito about being ignored just now, which aroused Retsu's concern: "Brother Ren, will you become air after practicing for a long time?"

Gin was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He hadn't yet connected it to his own practice. "Shouldn't it be?"

He had never heard that practicing this kind of technique would reduce one's sense of existence...

And it seems that it is only a visual disregard, but it can still be noticed once speaking.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this."

Gin shook his head and stopped talking about this headache. "Kaito, do you have any plans?"

"That's all for now...and I made these arrangements just in case." Hei Yu quickly scratched his head.

If he wasn't unfamiliar with the roads in Osaka, he might have simply dived into the crowd after getting the things instead of running to the remote pier, which would have made him more conspicuous...

In fact, taking the water route is a good option, but it is a bad idea for Kaito - because there are fish in the water.

"It's that 'Slime' organization..." Gin thought.

Kuroba Kaito took a deep breath and said, "It's Shrek... No, it's Snake! Snake!"

"It's all the same." Gin didn't think there was anything wrong with his name. It was just a code name anyway. "You've been playing with that organization for a year. Is it fun? Just tell some vacant members and capture them when you act. Use their communication equipment to let Noah find their lair, and then just ask Lie to help blow it up. Don't worry about it."

Logically, he felt that Kaito was just battling wits with the air...

What kind of gem can make people immortal? Gin thinks that the boss of the gem-stealing organization is probably in the late stage of middle school, which is much more outrageous than the Black Organization's goal of relying on scientific pharmaceuticals to achieve immortality.

Gin also felt puzzled. Kaito had to divert some of his attention to pay attention to the movements of this organization before every action. Wouldn't it be very uncomfortable?
If it were him, he would definitely feel very upset and would just take those people down first before doing his own thing.

"...That's true." Kuroba Kaito felt a little embarrassed, "But once before, after I learned their purpose from that Sly... Ugh! From that Snake, I got really angry!"

"Then I swore that I would find the gem called 'Pandora' that could give people immortality, and then smash it to pieces in front of them..."

Gin was speechless about Kaito's oath: "You'd better destroy their organization. That kind of gem absolutely cannot exist. If it did, our organization would have taken action long ago."

If he really can't find the gem, Kaito can't fight the air for his whole life, right? And he also has to be on guard against the slime attack from behind.

Kuroba Kaito thought about it carefully and found that what Gin said made sense. He was a little discouraged: "Oh... is that true? How about we see if we can catch him this time?"

Gin squinted and said, "This time? Are you so sure they will come this time?"

"Uh...Before I came here, Hongzi told me about my fortune, and it roughly meant that those people would get involved."

Gin: "...?"

Gua?
Did he hear something unscientific?
