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

Chapter 717 Angostura: Don’t Lie to Me
Banqiao District.

Two tall figures entered the territory of darkness.

They found the entrance to the organization's base with ease, and disappeared at the end of the street when the sun was completely submerged in the mountains and sea.

da~
clatter……

The sound of the boot soles hitting the ground was particularly crisp, and the person who came had no intention of concealing his whereabouts at all.

On the sofa in the lounge.

Clarett and Alex opened their eyes instantly, sat up from the sofa, and took out their guns at the same time.

It was the latter who trembled a little when he took the gun: "It's already this late, there shouldn't be any ghosts, right?"

Clarett glared at him fiercely, "There are no ghosts in this world!"

However, Alex's reaction reminded her.

The only people who can come in here are ghosts and our own people...

Oh no, there are no ghosts in this world!

Clarett felt a little more at ease, and the footsteps coming from the direction of the passage became clearer and clearer.

Until two familiar yet unfamiliar figures entered their field of vision——

"Master Gin?!"

Clarett uttered a cry of surprise, stood up, then immediately realized his situation and put away his pistol.

Just staring at Gin.

Emma, ​​this is the first time she sees Lord Gin with a ponytail!

And wearing a vest...

When Alex saw that the person coming was Gin, he breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a bitter face: "Master Gin, you are finally here! What happened?"

They have been here for almost a day.

After staying up all night, they finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep on the sofa.

"I came here to explain this matter."

Gin nodded at them, not surprised that the two of them were here, "Where are Angostura and the others?"

Alex pointed to a room deep inside, "They're all in the room inside...do you need me to call them?"

Gin nodded as a matter of course: "Nonsense, if I don't call them out, am I talking to the air?"

Alex: “…” Lord Gin spoke a little harshly today.

Q: What should you do when your boss has a bad temper?
Alex gave the answer with his actions—he shut up and went to call for help.

Claret also thought that Gin was in a bad mood, so he stood aside and waited for his punishment...

But in fact, Gin is not in any bad condition now. On the contrary, he is quite happy.

He was so happy that he didn't even want to maintain his aloof personality...

I guess only Vermouth knows why this is happening.

However, in contrast to Gin's joy, Vermouth was still in shock and had not yet recovered.

Having received too many explosive news at once today, she found a place to sit down after entering the base and began to daydream.

No one spoke in the hall for a moment.

However, after Alex went to call for help, a loud noise was heard from deep inside.

After a while, Angostura, wearing a windbreaker, walked to the sofa in front of Gin with a menacing look, sat down with a cold expression, "What on earth do you want to do?"

"You didn't rest?" Gin's expression was a little strange.

He could tell at a glance that Angostura's breathing was a little disordered, as if... he hadn't slept for a day and a night.

Angostura slammed the table fiercely, his expression ferocious: "Gin! I warn you not to change the subject! Since you dare to come back, you'd better explain the whole cause and effect clearly, otherwise I will blow up this lousy place right now!"

"...If you want to blow it up, just do it. I won't die anyway." Gin rolled his eyes, "Forget it, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you.

You should also know that the organization is now under my control, and now it's your turn to make a choice."

"……What?"

Angostura almost exploded when he first heard the words "bomb if you want to", but when he heard the last sentence, a dozen question marks popped up on his forehead, "What the hell? When did you take control of the organization? ... No! Gin, what the hell do you want to do?!"

If Gin rebelled and planned to destroy the organization, he could accept it, but how come he took control of the organization after one night? ?
Damn, what is wrong with this world?!

At this time, by chance, the other two people who were resting also came out.

Anderburg and Grenz just happened to hear Angostra's repetition, and they looked at Gin in surprise.

Gin shrugged, "Well... that's it anyway. Of course, Vermouth is also involved... So do you want to continue to stay in Japan with me, or go back to Europe to follow Vermouth?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gin inexplicably felt that this scene looked somewhat familiar.

After recalling for two seconds, he suddenly realized - wasn't this the scene where he gave those students multiple-choice questions at Lie's house at noon?
Ok……

It seems that he has a special affinity with multiple-choice questions.

but……

Angostura and the others were a little confused. What was going on? Were they splitting up into teams now? What was this? What about their mission yesterday? Didn't they tell us about it?
"Cough cough."

After everyone stared at each other for a minute, Gin probably realized that he was too sudden and coughed twice, "Um, Stella, let's talk inside."

Angostura's eyes turned strange.

However, after comparing the strength gap between the enemy and us, he followed Gin into the inner room without saying a word under the gaze of everyone.

The door cut them off from the people outside.

Angostura sat on the stool and crossed his legs. "What else do you have to tell me? You did it, but you can't say it in front of other people?"

"That's true. Some things are hard to tell outsiders." Gin leaned back in his chair with his eyelids drooping. "Before we get down to business, let me ask you, how much do you know about the boss and that person?"

After returning from Nagano, Qin's mental state was obviously much more relaxed, and she looked a little lazy.

"Boss, and that one?" Angostura narrowed his eyes, looking suspicious, "You don't know?"

"I'm asking you, just answer it. Otherwise, believe it or not, I'll fire you right now?"

Angostura: “…” What the hell is this Dogecoin thing!

After staring at Gin for a long time, Angostura tutted and said impatiently, "Boss is the boss who gives us orders on the surface, but 'that one' should be the real controller of the organization.

But more than 20 years ago, that person has not appeared in the headquarters again. Combined with the boss's recent decisions, I'm afraid that the boss has taken all of that person's power."

Gin's eyes lit up: "Oh? I didn't realize you understood."

Angostura was annoyed: "Can't anyone with brains and eyes see it?"

"If you say so, then so be it." Gin's eyes suddenly curved up with a slight smile, "Then do you know the reason?"

"What's the reason?" Angostura looked puzzled.

"The reason why the boss is in charge of the organization instead of that person is because of him." "...It's nothing more than a power dispute among their top management. How can I know their specific thoughts?"

Angostura rolled her eyes.

Gin looked at him with a half-smile, "You don't want to know, or you can't guess? I think you really want to bring down the boss, right?"

Angostura's eyes widened. "Fuck! What nonsense are you talking about? I am a loyal subject, how could I possibly have such hope!"

Gin glanced at him and said, "Tell the truth."

Angostura's expression fell, "Oh yes, I not only want to kill you, but also the boss...but how did you know?"

"My guess."

"..."

Gin, you idiot!

"You have received favors from that person, right?" Gin ignored Angostra's look and continued, "Or for some other reason, you think that person still has certain power. Once you are reused by that person, you will have great opportunities... Is that right?"

Angostura said nothing this time.

Only his increasingly weird look revealed his emotions.

Gin laughed again: "If that's the case, then congratulations, you have a chance to choose."

Angostura took out a knife expressionlessly and said, "I advise you to speak quickly if you have something to say, and don't waste time on me."

Gin was stunned for a moment, "Didn't I pick them all up? How do you still have some?"

"That's not the point!"

"Oh, okay, what I mean is... if you want to continue staying in the organization and follow that person, then just stay in Japan and I will take good care of you." Gin said seriously.

"…Have you communicated with that person?"

Angostura's expression finally changed significantly.

If he couldn't hear any hint in what Gin had said up to this point, then his efforts would have been in vain.

"Indeed, I just came back from that person... To be more precise, it was that person who passed the organization on to me and Vermouth."

"I had reached an agreement with that person before to help him deal with the boss. Now Europe should have been taken care of, and the headquarters is under the control of the forces I developed."

Gin crossed his fingers, "According to the agreement between me and that person, my organization, the Five Star Group, will coexist peacefully with the organization, adhere to the five principles, focus on science and technology, and vigorously develop human resources..."

“…Don’t change the subject!!” Angostura roared, his face grim. “First, explain to me clearly why that person would hand over the organization to you? This is unscientific!!”

Gin's face straightened: "Are you sure you want to know?"

Angostura twirled the knife, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Since you ask sincerely..."

"Gin, I'm telling you, I have seven bombs buried in this room."

"--Then I'll make it short." Gin suddenly sped up his speech, "You know Vermouth's identity, right? That's right, she is the granddaughter of that person."

"Vermouth and I went to that person's house today and learned some secrets... One of them is my identity."

"Well, the old man said that he did a paternity test with me and he can confirm that I am his grandson."

"So, you understand what I mean, right?"

"..."

'Pah'
The knife held by Angostura lost its support and fell to the ground weakly.

When Angostra heard Gin's words, he was stunned for a moment.

After a while, he quickly grabbed the custom-made throwing knife worth 500 pounds before Gin was about to grab it, and then used his other hand to pick his ears, "What? What did you just say?"

"I said, you understand what I mean, right?"

"No, your previous sentence."

"The old man said..."

"That's not it!"

"Vermouth and I..."

"More ahead!"

Gin's eyes twitched, he rolled his eyes, and went back to the beginning: "...Are you sure you want to know?"

"Not sure, you can go now." Angostura raised his hand and gestured to the door in a very gentlemanly manner.

Gin took a deep look and said, "The old man has now transferred all the assets of the organization to me and Vermouth... You have to know that all components of the organization are derived from the assets of the Karasuma family, of course, the finances as well..."

"Swish!"

Angostura flipped his hand, and the knife disappeared instantly. He said sternly, "Gin... No, Boss, if you want to kill me, do it to me."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Gin seemed very satisfied with Angostura's reaction. He nodded and continued, "Back to the topic. If you choose to continue staying in Japan, then from now on, you must adhere to an organizational principle."

"…an organizing principle?"

"That's right. The Five Star Group is the organization I developed, and now I am in charge of half of the organization. The two need to have a coordinated relationship." Gin touched his chin, "But I will worry about this. You just need to concentrate on being your leader. At present, apart from those people from the FBI, I don't think there will be any major events in the organization. You just need to maintain normalcy."

Angostura: "..."

He has so much to complain about that he doesn't know where to start.

After digesting what Gin had told him, Angostura began to doubt again, "Gin, you're not lying to me, are you?"

He suddenly realized that it seemed that Gin was the one-sided "notification" to him just now...

"Do I have to lie to you?" Gin's eyes were rolling up. "I almost couldn't recover when I found out... If you don't believe me, I'll give you the old man's phone number and you can ask him yourself."

"..."

Seeing Gin being so calm, Angostura didn't know whether he should verify it or not...

"If you have no problem, I'll leave. There are still many things to deal with in the Five Star Group." Gin checked the time and found that it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. "Don't try any tricks. The organization's communications have been hacked by us a long time ago. I know everything you do."

Angostura also gave a dead look: "You call this kind of behavior loyalty?"

Gin sneered, "What's wrong with me spying on my own property?"

Angostura: “…” Damn, it sounds so real that he almost believed it.

"Anyway, that's it. Vermouth is not in a good mental state right now, so I'll let her stay here for now. You'd better not provoke her." After saying the last sentence, Gin left in a cool manner.

But before leaving, he patted Grenz's shoulder meaningfully, receiving a slightly restrained smile from the latter.

Angostura watched Gin leave and looked up at the sky.

Gin seemed to have revealed a lot, but it felt like he had said nothing.

...never mind, the past two days have been a bit surreal, he might need to go out and travel to relax...
