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

Chapter 716 Successor

Gin thought of the man in the tuxedo, the one who called himself 'Alex'.

It turned out to be the case.

"You specifically asked about my hair color just to confirm my identity?" Gin looked at me strangely, "Don't you think this is hasty?"

You know, although there are few people with silver hair in the world, he is definitely not the only one.

He remembered that there were other silver-haired boys in that training ground, but they were slightly different in color.

Alex sighed and stroked his white beard, "Of course it's not just because of your hair...

At first, I actually didn't react at all.

Because in my heart and the master's heart, the young master and your mother had already been killed by those people.

But when I left, I thought of your eyes. "

He looked at Gin: "It's your eye color that makes me realize something."

"Anyone with Karasuma bloodline must have green eyes."

"You and the young lady, both."

...Eye color?
Gin was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Vermouth.

Well, it’s true that Vermouth’s normal eye color is a little green.

but……

"Are you sure about this?" Gin still found it a little unbelievable.

"Of course not." Alex shook his head firmly.

Then, Karasuma Renye spoke again, "I asked Alex to find a way to let me see you. But the training ground is controlled by that bastard, so I dare not act too deliberately.

So, I chose to be there every time when you guys were training and watch you train.

I watched you grow step by step... for eight years."

"You look so much like Lilith when she was little." Karasuma Renya lowered his head, his fingers groping on the fork, "Gin... I gave you this code name.

I didn't realize you had your own name, and I thought you were adopted by some family... until I sent Alex to investigate and found out that you were just an orphan who grew up in a restricted area with only a few playmates."

Gin suddenly looked up: "Wait, you know them?"

The dark green eyes stared at Karasuma Renya, then glanced at Alex.

So, how much do these two people know about the Five Star Group?
Will it be...

...Hey, that's not right. What were these two people saying to him just now?

Gin's heart cooled for a moment, then quickly heated up again - oh, yes, they were discussing his background.

Well, if these two people hadn't fooled him, then being a member of the Karasuma family... should be considered a good thing, right?

Karasuma Renya: “…”

His childhood playmate values ​​him so much, doesn’t he deserve it?

Alex: “…”

I always feel like the young master's train of thought has gone astray?

Because of Gin's sudden change of attitude, the atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

But then, it was Gin who broke the silence: "And you are sure about this?"

Judging only by appearance, he still felt it was a bit hasty.

However, Karasuma Renya then let Gin know that this old man was a very serious person:

He just shook his head and said seriously, "No, of course it's more than that... You should know the ingredients and effects of that drug, right?"

"The starting point of the organization's research on that drug was to cause cellular changes...

Going a step further, they think they can also start with DNA.”

“So, the organization already had a way to extract DNA.”

Gin understood and his eyes were speechless, "So... you have identified it?"

Karasuma Renye nodded, his old face slightly embarrassed, "There were many times when the organization had blood drawn for physical examinations, and I specifically asked Alex...ahem, to draw more blood."

And he didn't just identify it once. He would find a way to identify it every time he had the opportunity...

After doing it many times, there will be no doubt about the firm result.

Gin is now a little speechless.

He should be shocked, but he didn't know where to start...

Because Gin's thinking has always been rational.

When he heard Karasuma Renya say that he was the other party's grandson, Gin's first reaction was that the old man was playing a trick on him; and as Karasuma Renya gradually told his evidence, Gin gradually realized that what the other party said might be true...

So, Gin began to think about what impact this identity would have on him, whether it was good or bad, but he didn't care much about the impact of the identity itself on him.

However, after he finished thinking about these questions, he realized:
"Wait, if I were a member of the Karasuma family, wouldn't that mean..."

Is he a rich second generation?

Qin·The focus is always one step away from others·Wine, online.

Suddenly, he understood why Karasuma Renya said that he wanted to let him and Vermouth take charge of the organization together.

According to Karasuma Renya's description and Gin's own judgment, in a sense, the organization itself was developed from the Karasuma family's industry.

In other words, whoever controls the organization controls the assets of the Karasuma family...

However, Gin still has some questions about what Karasuma Renya said:
"You said that you were controlled by Wuliang... ahem, by the boss, then why were you able to do so many things? And you also let him pay attention to my every move." Gin pointed at Alex and narrowed his eyes. "Also, how much do you know about me?"

The last time he came, Gin discovered that Karasuma Renya was not at all surprised by his arrival, as if he knew a lot of secrets.

Karasuma Renya's face suddenly wrinkled, "You kid..."

"Stop, stop, stop. Don't try to get close to me... No, don't talk to me so intimately. I need to take it slow." Gin raised his hand to signal.

Although he was not shocked by this, it did not mean that he could accept it...

In fact, it’s even a little hard to accept.

Because it's too outrageous.

He fought a one-sided battle of wits and courage with the organization, but it was a huge contribution and sacrifice for him to leave the organization, which made a lot of brain cells fat... And then he was told that he, Gin, was the prince of the organization?!

Who can accept this?
Seeing Gin's slightly repulsive look, Karasuma Renya was a little helpless, but still said in a good voice: "Although I was restricted by him at the beginning, but... I am very important to him after all. I made some reasonable requests and he agreed to them. After all, he still needs to use my reputation to do things.

When necessary, he also needs my presence...

So, even though our relationship was strained, it was still maintained in the end.”

"As for you... I thought about it and decided to show some interest in you." Karasuma Renya smiled bitterly, "My authority is not enough to protect you. The people who stay by my side, except for Alex, are almost all sent by Rin. So when I showed interest in you, he also paid attention to you.

Since I am not capable enough, I will let him protect you."

"...I see." Gin grinned, "No wonder my promotion was so smooth. I guess I should thank you?"

His original plan was to get ahead in the organization as soon as possible, but he unexpectedly bumped into Karasuma Renya's idea...

It feels even more outrageous.

"No, no, no, kid, you should thank yourself more... To be honest, I didn't do anything." Karasuma Renya's voice was still bitter.

Gin shrugged, accepting the fact a little in his heart, "But old man, don't go off topic first, tell me, how much do you know about me?"

Karasuma Renya suppressed his bitterness, thought for a while, and said seriously: "I have not investigated you outside the scope of the organization's control, except for the initial period.

But I know that you seem to have your own power to pass on information, but I don’t know the specific situation of that power, so you can rest assured…”

"And, I also know that you have already obtained all the research data on the drug that Rinto is researching."

At this point, a cold light flashed in Gin's eyes, "How did you know?"

He didn't mean to hide...

At this point, there is no need to hide anything anymore, and everyone should speak frankly.

——The most important thing is that Gin is not afraid.

He was confident that he could kill his way through here.

Karasuma Renya raised his eyes and said softly, "You got the information from the laboratory here in Japan, right?"

Gin was silent for a long time, then realized something: "You saw everything at that time? There must be surveillance cameras in that place, right?"

"Yes." Karasuma Renye gave an affirmative answer. "Although the monitoring equipment at that time had poor performance, for the sake of safety, the organization still spent a lot of money to install monitoring in the laboratory."

"I was able to see those images because of various coincidences..."

"Is the explosion related to the Gong couple?" Gin went straight to the point.

"...Yes, but I can only say that there is a certain relationship." Karasuma Renya sighed, "When I was in the organization, I also had some unrealistic ideas because of the drug research...

The Miyano couple were recruited by Rinto, but I have also read their previous research, and they have indeed made great achievements in the field of medical drugs.

So one time, I used the excuse of feeling unwell as an excuse to bring up a proposal when they came to diagnose me. I hoped they could help me research a drug that could restore the physiological state of the human body. "

"Because they were recruited from outside, they were controlled after they came into contact with the research on 'immortality'. I was worried about leaks, so I didn't explain too much to them. They probably thought that Rinto was me and I was Rinto." Karasuma Renya seemed to be thirsty after talking, and took a sip of tea. "But I didn't expect that they would die in the end, right under my nose."

Gin frowned, "You mean, they were killed by an unscrupulous boss? The Rinto you mentioned?"

Karasuma Renya nodded, "Strictly speaking, he is your third uncle... Of course, you don't need to pay attention to him."

It can be heard that Karasuma Renya is still full of resentment towards some of his sons. At first, he was even willing to just call them "that bastard"...

"When the Miyano couple was researching another drug, they slowed down the research that Rinto had originally asked them to do."

"After several human experiments, he found that the drug's success rate was completely unstable. At that time, only you and Lilith's finished product test was successful. But Rinto couldn't hold back anymore - his body was aging."

"Even I didn't expect that he would do something so ruthless, locking the couple in the gas chamber and killing them without them knowing anything." Karasuma Renya slammed the fork in his hand again, "As for how I knew it... it was because of this bastard! He didn't trust other people, and the people he trusted were not around at the time, so he asked me to help him keep an eye on the lab.

I saw it all...

And what a coincidence, you showed up right after that bastard had done everything and left."

By the time Karasuma Renya finished speaking, Gin was already able to connect the suspicious points he had discovered before.

"So, you knew that I took the drug research information, and then you boldly blew up the laboratory?"

Gin narrowed his eyes slightly.

In a sense, Karasuma Renya's actions were quite bold, but he could understand it.

It's nothing more than: Since my grandson already has the research materials, I won't leave them to you, an unfilial son...

However, Karasuma Renya suddenly shook his head seriously: "No, I didn't blow it up."

Gin: “…Huh?”

Karasuma Renya pointed at Alex and said, "He did it all. It's none of my business."

Gin: "...?"

Could this old man be any more naughty?

"Didn't you instruct him to do what he did?" Gin rolled his eyes speechlessly.

When he was about to drink a cup of coffee to calm his nerves, he suddenly realized that there was no coffee left...

I looked up and saw that they were all taken away by Vermouth to calm them down.

Vermouth was in shock. To put it simply, it can be summed up as 'Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing'...

In fact, she didn't listen to much of what Karasuma Renya said later, and her thoughts were still on the shocking information that "Gin is his cousin."

As for Gin, since he had no coffee left, he had to ask Alex to pour him a cup of tea.

"I roughly understand. Let's assume that what you said is true." Gin cleared his throat and stared at Karasuma Renya. "So, your plan is to let the two of us inherit your property... that is, the organization, right?"

Karasuma Renye nodded, "You can understand it this way. After all, you are the only ones who are the direct bloodline of the Karasuma family."

In Japan, bloodline is also highly valued.

but……

As for inheriting the organization, even without Karasuma Renya, Gin has his own way.

So, he looked at the other person and asked some more questions:
"I still have some questions. One is about Akai Shuichi... Why did Alex let him in on purpose? Is it because of your relationship with the FBI? Or something else?

Also, what kind of dealings do you have with the Metropolitan Police Department or Interpol?
I hope you can explain these questions clearly, old man... I don't want the organization I take over to be a shabby mess."

He wanted a message:
How many undercover agents are there in the current organization?
