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

Chapter 486 Gin: Come back to life?

Chiyoda, Tokyo late at night.

Two sneaky figures were in the back corner of a closed coffee shop, fiddling with something while talking non-stop:

"Hey! No, this one is stuck on the left... just like a magnet~ a magnet!"

"I know, I'm just testing, don't move!"

"Oh~ What's there to experiment with? If you had listened to me, you would have finished it three days earlier~"

"...Heh, who knows if it's safe to listen to you, it might explode 'accidentally' someday?"

"Hey~ Xiao Pingzi! You actually doubted me. Where is the most basic trust between people?"

The two sneaky people were Retsu and Jinpei Matsuda.

The two of them were in the process of re-installing the 'safety' on the bombs that had been installed previously...

However, this operation took an unusually long time.

After Jinpei Matsuda had approached his old classmate and was convinced, he took the initiative to seek advice from Rei on the issue of bomb insurance.

But to be honest, when he knew that Rei's bomb did have an 'insurance', Matsuda Jinpei was a little annoyed -

Because this basically confirms his idea:

Lie did it on purpose!

Although Jinpei Matsuda couldn't quite figure out his boss's train of thought, he still felt unhappy with Rei's almost playful mentality.

They also say they won’t hurt anyone at will… They are all liars!
So, after Rei installed the first 'bomb safety' for him as a demonstrator, Jinpei Matsuda decisively requested that he install the remaining safetys himself.

The truth is that he can't trust Lie now...

“Trust between people?”

Matsuda Jinpei turned around and chuckled twice, revealing a ruthless dead fish eye, "There is no trust between us now, Mr. Lie."

After causing him so much inner torment last time, Lie actually dared to talk to him about trust issues?

Lie looked very puzzled, but there was still a smile in his eyes: "Ah~ How could that be? I was doing it for your own good~"

Matsuda Jinpei's forehead jumped and he threw a backhand punch, but before it landed on Rei's body, the latter caught it firmly.

"Xiao Pingzi, it's not good to be so irritable~" Lie tilted his head, smiled brightly, and pointed at the half-installed bomb safety, "Don't we still need to install the safety? Now it's only one-third done~"

Since all the bombs were installed by Jinpei Matsuda himself, his speed was several times slower than if Lie had done it himself - firstly, he was not skilled, and secondly, after each bomb was installed, Jinpei Matsuda would test whether it could actually block the explosion by normal means, which inevitably made him much slower.

"...I know, so please don't be around to affect me."

Jinpei Matsuda said unhappily.

"It doesn't affect me. Just chatting?" Lie replied with a smile.

He was already here, but Jinpei Matsuda didn't let him install the insurance, so he said he felt very bored.

But after that, Matsuda Jinpei decided to ignore him and concentrate on testing the stability of the "insurance"; Lie naggled a few more words, and found that Matsuda really ignored him, and pouted with a little sadness.

But soon, his eyes rolled and he said, "By the way, Xiao Pingzi, where did you place the bombs when I was away last night?"

Matsuda Jinpei paused and turned back expressionlessly: "What do you want to do?"

Lie blinked and said with a grin: "I'll go check it out for you~"

"Tsk... don't even think about it!"

"Ah~ It won't hurt to tell me..."

"Hehe...I'm just worried that someone will lose a piece of meat!"

-

"Ding dong ding ling dong~" Tokyo, the base of a certain organization.

A cell phone lay on the board table in the common lounge, vibrating and ringing loudly.

Gin had dead eyes on his face, one hand covering his head, and the other hand reached out to answer the phone:

"Who?"

His tone was a little bad.

"I, you should be able to tell who I am...Okay, I don't want to tell you too much, Gin, do you remember the intelligence reconstruction work I mentioned before?"

The caller was Angostura, Gin could indeed tell that.

When the reconstruction work was mentioned, Gin raised his eyebrows: "What's going on over there?"

He remembered that Angostra had told him that the members responsible for rebuilding the intelligence system included Kiel and Clarett who were transferred from his side.

Could it be that Kiel was exposed?

But soon, Angostura's words dispelled his doubts:

"One of the members stole some of the information during their break. According to Clarett's screening, it is related to the 'seeds' that the organization has planted in various circles in Japan. This part is paper information, encrypted with a code, so it is not a big problem..."

"But there is another part that the other party copied from the computer. Through trace identification, it should be that they broke into the organization's member database, that is, they took away some of the organization's members' information. This must be destroyed."

Angostura's voice was a little uncertain, but she didn't sound anxious.

Gin wasn't in a hurry...

After all, there were more than one or two members of the organization who turned against them and stole intelligence, and they were used to dealing with it.

"Where is the information about the traitor? Where is the information that the other party stole hidden?"

Gin didn't ask the other party how he stole the information, but just asked the important questions directly.

Moreover, he did not say much about Angostura's action which was similar to "assigning" the task.

"The information about the traitor... Oh, I'll have Anderburg send it to you later. That's it. You'll be in charge of cleaning up the traitor. I'm very busy and don't have time."

After Angostura finished speaking quickly, he hung up the phone.

Gin put down his phone and was about to go back to his room to turn on his computer when the phone rang again.

After a closer look, the phone number is the same as before...

"What again?" Gin asked unhappily.

"In addition to this traitor, there is another foreign official visiting Japan who will be visiting Japan soon... I heard that the person is not very honest. I have sent you his information, please take a look at it yourself." Angostura did not hesitate at all.

but……

Gin's eyes were somewhat dangerous: "For this kind of thing, you should ask the intelligence officer to confirm it, right?"

"Aren't intelligence officers organizing system data? You're very capable anyway, so it doesn't matter if you go there."

"You should be more capable than me, why don't you go yourself?"

"Who am I? I have so many people under my command who need my attention. I don't care about my dignity..."

After arguing with Angostra for a while, Gin finally hummed and accepted the task.

The conflict between the two of them should be kept within certain limits; there is no need for them to really come into conflict.

What's more, the unscrupulous boss had warned him not to fight with Angostura before...

Although Gin knew that even if he really fought with Angostra, nothing would happen to him, but his image and status in front of the unscrupulous boss would be somewhat reduced.

Since he still doesn't know why the unscrupulous boss kicked him out, Gin still plans to be a good boy.
