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

Chapter 711 Multiple choice questions

Shuichi Akai didn't expect why the topic suddenly shifted to the bride price.

But he asked, "How much do you want?"

Lie slammed the table and stood up: "Of course I'll give you as much as you have!"

Shuichi Akai: “…” But he has no money now… Oh, that’s not right, why now?

Shuichi Akai suddenly fell into self-reflection.

Just now.

A faint voice came from the chair closest to the villa door.

"Half an hour..."

A cold voice, a voice that is familiar to everyone.

The group of people shuddered as if frightened, and then turned their heads in unison.

"Half an hour." Gin leaned back in his chair and raised his head at a 45-degree angle. "You guys have been chatting in front of me for a full half an hour!"

But no one found him!
Except Noah...

Is he not worthy?
Gin's cold gaze finally fixed on Akai Shuichi's face.

The latter felt uncomfortable being stared at and subconsciously avoided Gin's gaze.

Gin had a mask on his face, like a mirror with half of the mask thrown on the side of his head, with most of his face exposed. His silver hair was tied into a ponytail with bangs scattered around his face, looking a little messy.

The unchanging black coat was also retired along with the hat, replaced by a tight-fitting sleeveless windbreaker, and metal arm guards were tied around the arms, decorated with a lot of hidden weapons...

There was also a short sword strapped to his thigh.

Gin is sitting in a rather casual position now, so everyone can see the equipment.

How to be cool?
Two long legs crossed on the table, do you think it looks cool or not?

Of course, it is strongly not recommended for friends who are at school or work to follow this example, otherwise being punished by standing in the corner is the least of it...

"...Ah~! Brother Ren~When did you come?" When Lie saw Gin, he instantly turned from a robber into a good boy. He sat obediently in his seat, with his hands on his knees, and his light red eyes were full of innocence.

This caused Hiroki and Haibara Ai standing beside him to look at him with their crescent eyes.

"I followed Scotland and the others in. What do you think?" Gin rolled his eyes unhappily, then glanced at the clock. "Let's finish our business first and have a meal. Vermouth and I have somewhere else to go."

Akai Shuichi's ears moved: "Where are you going?"

Gin's face instantly turned cold: "It has nothing to do with you."

Damn, this bastard wants to take the cabbage from my house, and he dares to ask questions with such a smug face... Hey! Don't have any face!

Akai Shuichi didn't realize for a while that Gin was his elder. After being retorted, he kept silent. Fortunately, Kurosawa Mirai gave him an apologetic look, which made him feel much better...

However, Gin became even angrier when he saw this scene.

——This kind of anger is unique to old fathers. Those present who are not fathers themselves probably don’t understand it.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Suppressing the malice in his heart, Gin took out the small notebook he carried with him, looked at the records, and said indifferently, "Five things, related to the five of you... It has nothing to do with you, Vermouth, you just need to come with me alone later."

Vermouth held her chin in her hand: "Go to the police station?"

Gin said expressionlessly: "If you want to go, I can ask Matsuda to give you a ride."

Vermouth curled her lips, "I was just kidding, go on."

After confronting Vermouth, Gin set his sights on Shuichi Akai.

"First thing, let's start with you."

Gin gave a sinister smile.

The three Chi Kejis shuddered - they had a bad feeling...

"Akai Shuichi."

Gin looked at the other party and said seriously and calmly, "First of all, it's about your stay and where you belong.

You now have three options:

First, return to the FBI and conceal all information about the Five Star Team and Dark Night;

Second, leave the FBI, regain your freedom, and keep any information about the Five Star Group and Black Night confidential;
Third, join the five-star group. "

After saying that, Gin closed his mouth and waited for Akai Shuichi's reply.

Shuichi Akai has come back to his senses from his daze, and immediately got into the state, starting to analyze the intention of Gin's options.

He understood most of it, but there was one part...

"...I can understand keeping the Five Star Group secret, but why can't the organization's intelligence be revealed?" Akai Hideo asked with confusion.

Gin glanced at him and wanted to say, "Are you teaching me how to do things?" However, this was a public place after all, and it seemed not good to target him, so he suppressed the idea and said calmly:
"The boss has been controlled by us. The organization now exists in name only, but... we cannot make 'Night' disappear."

Akai Shuichi frowned and said: "But, what if the organization revives later..."

"If it flares up again, then it flares up again." Gin gave a worried look, "Why, do you want to tell the FBI that the organization is under our control?

Do you know what the consequences will be?

There are still many "dark night" spies in your FBI. Once the true situation of the organization is leaked, the next one you will target will be the Five Star Group.

You wouldn't have thought of that, Rye?"

"……I see."

Having said that, if Shuichi Akai still doesn't understand Gin's meaning, then his days in the organization trying to figure out the other party's intentions will have been wasted.

Gin's idea is complicated to draw, but it is actually very simple to understand:
The defeat of the organization this time was entirely caused by the Five Star Group;
Once the news of the organization spreads, they will be the first to be affected by the turmoil, unless the intelligence about the organization does not mention the existence of the "Five Star Group" at all... but this is obviously impossible. Because the development of the Five Star Group is inevitable. If they have been living in the dark, they can only become the second "Dark Night". If they want to surpass it, they can only stand in the light - even if this will bring more danger.

But without danger and crisis, how can they grow?

and so……

'Night', that is, the organization, cannot fall!
Not only must Gin not fail, he must also find a way to manage it well.

——They can ride the wind and waves, but they can’t let the waves be too big and capsize their boat.

The five-star group needs an MT, and 'Night' happens to be a good fit.

What's more, Gin now has some kind of agreement with Karasuma Renya...

Of course, Gin had no intention of telling Shuichi Akai about these deeper things, but the latter obviously realized Gin's intention of organizing "waste utilization".

"Now that you know, choose."

Gin gave the order without further ado, his tone somewhat dry.

Akai Shuichi glanced at Gin strangely, and felt that he seemed to be even stricter than when he was in the organization...

But speaking of choices.

Akai Shuichi suddenly felt a little troubled.

To be honest, he personally prefers the first point: returning to the FBI.

Admittedly, he has been out of the FBI's control for a while, but it is not impossible to grind his way back.

This was not out of sentimentality, but because his goal had not yet been achieved - he had not yet found his father's whereabouts.

But now that the organization has been defeated by the Five Star Group, it might not be a bad idea to get information from the Five Star Group...

Therefore, whether it is the first option, or the second and third options, there is no fundamental disadvantage for Akai Shuichi. The only difference is the stance.

Back to the FBI, anyone can figure it out with their toes. If something really happens, the Five Star Team and the FBI will definitely not be able to advance or retreat together, and the possibility of them becoming enemies is as high as 90%.

Joining the Five Star Team was equivalent to breaking with the FBI. As the trump card of the FBI, Akai Shuichi also learned some confidential information of the FBI. Even if it was not a lot, it was enough for the FBI to find a way to deal with him as a traitor...

The best option, to have nothing to do with either and regain his freedom, seems very tempting...but Shuichi Akai knows that this is a trap.

From a normal logical analysis, it is almost impossible for people who are deep in the center of a vortex to leave the vortex, especially when the vortex is getting deeper and deeper.

What free men, they are all fake.

Shuichi Akai did not hesitate to speculate on Gin with malicious intent against the organization - if he chose option 2 and walked out today, he might be killed by the Five Star Team tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow by the FBI itself, or even later by both the FBI and the Five Star Team...

……

"…Hey! Akai Shuichi, does it take you ten minutes to answer a multiple-choice question? Don't you FBI members need a written test?"

Watching the minute hand slowly move forward, Gin became a little impatient.

I really don't understand why a multiple choice question can take so long. Can't you just choose any one? Anyway, he has to ask a second time...

Gin didn't know that Akai Shuichi's twists and turns had exceeded Gin's own malicious limit and had gone as far as Java. If Gin knew what Akai Shuichi was thinking, he would definitely applaud...

Then as he wished.

——Completely contrary to what Shuichi Akai imagined, the second option was that Gin deliberately let the opponent slack off.

The price is that they will lose a certain degree of freedom which cannot be considered freedom, and will be monitored by their members all day long...especially Noah.

The urging voice pulled Akai Shuichi back to his thoughts.

There was a rare hint of confusion in his expression, and his eyes were directed at Kurosawa Mirai across from him.

How should he choose?
"Gin, can I choose later?" Shuichi Akai asked carefully.

Those who were immersed in thinking about options and the others who caused this situation were also distracted and forgot that Shock Gin was a "traitor".

When Gin heard what Akai Shuichi said, a hash mark appeared above his head:
"Is that why you wasted fifteen minutes of my time?"

This kid definitely deserves a beating.

If you don’t know how to do it, why not skip it earlier?

If you take the college entrance examination with this awareness, it will take the blessing of gods and Buddha to get 90 points.

Gin took a deep breath viciously, "Okay, I'll give you a chance to make a buffer... Also, each of you three has room for buffering. If you can't make a choice the first time, don't fucking drag it on!"

When he said the last sentence, Gin's expression was particularly ferocious, which made Conan and Kill, who were sitting next to Akai Shuichi, straighten their backs.

Oh my god, this is so scary... What happened to Gin?

"Now then." Gin restrained his ferocious expression and looked at Conan, a little classmate between Akai Shuichi and Gil, "It's your turn, the little guy who writes Kudo Shinichi and reads Edogawa Conan."

Swish-!
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Conan again.

The hungry wolf-like gazes made Conan's hair stand on end...

However, a husky got mixed up with the wolves:

Kiel: What Kudo? What Edogawa? What's wrong with this kid? Is she the only one who doesn't know anything?
Why did you big guys drag her into the meeting? !
Gil stared at the ceiling with despair.

And Gin has already started asking Conan questions.

Unlike his attitude towards Akai Shuichi, Gin's attitude towards Conan is like coaxing a child to eat a lollipop:

"You should also know that your identity is not a secret among us... You probably don't want your identity to be exposed, right, Kudo Conan?
Oh, by the way, you didn't know yet? In fact, your parents have cooperated with us a long time ago... Of course, I promised them that I would protect you secretly, you should have noticed it, right? "

Conan: "..."

I noticed a ghost! Every time I noticed him, I thought I had exposed myself and was terrified, okay! !

And what the hell is that name for Kudo Conan?
Ignoring Mr. Ke's resentment, Gin patiently offered a choice -
