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

Chapter 719 I don't know anything else, but this question is too simple
The chilling cold air lasted for a long time before slowly dissipating.

Gin looked confused: "What's wrong with you? Why are you reacting so strongly?"

Didn’t he just ask when the dog was bought?... Can’t he even tell me that?

"Nothing." Jing lowered his eyes and picked up John again. "Lie brought it back when he solved a case a while ago. You can ask him."

"Hmm~"

Lie immediately raised his hand, his eyes shining, "Brother Ren~ what do you want to ask? John's name? Or his origin~? Or--"

"No need, I just asked casually." Gin didn't actually want to know anything, he just felt that the dog looked a little familiar, so he asked casually.

German Shepherd is a very common dog breed...

Strong: ╭(°A°`)╮

Having lost the topic, Lie suddenly became depressed.

After a brief exchange, Jing and Gin fell into silence.

The three little ones who were studying nearby occasionally looked up to see their reactions, and then found a chance to stare blankly...

The other three who had been recruited and had not yet made a choice were becoming restless.

Under pressure from these people, Conan wanted to speak many times but held back.

In the end, he could only turn to Akai Shuichi for help.

the latter……

He didn't notice Conan's gaze at all.

But by chance, he also wanted to ask something else:
"Gin, where's Vermouth? Didn't she come back with you?"

Akai Shuichi's eyes were lingering behind Gin.

Gin raised his eyes lazily, his eyes revealing a dangerous look: "Why? Are you missing her?"

"...No, I'm just curious." Akai Shuichi was a little confused by Gin's sudden hostility. After a pause, he explained, "I want to know what you did, whether it has anything to do with the organization, and...what measures do you want to take against the organization?"

Gin stretched out his claws towards the innocent John, rubbed him, and with his free hand, he tore off a lollipop and stuffed it into his mouth. "What good is it to you to know all this? You are just a soldier. Even if you know everything, you can't change anything."

Akai Shuichi perked up, "I think I can..."

"No you can't." Gin interrupted ruthlessly.

Kurosawa Mirai, who was pretending to study hard, quietly turned her head to pay attention to the movement here.

"...But the information we have is not equal, so it's really hard to make a choice." Akai Hideichi's eyes flickered, "Or, can you allow me to choose neither option?"

Gin's mouth curled up: "Of course...not."

"It's normal for the information to be unequal. We have no obligation to provide you with the corresponding information." Gin bit the candy in his mouth and crushed it. "As for our plan for the organization, if you join the Five Star Group, you will naturally know it in the future. If you don't join, you will slowly work hard to find the truth. If you can find it, I will lose."

Shuichi Akai; "..." This arrogant way of speaking made him feel like there was no hope.

Is there really no other way?
"Father...if it were you, what would you choose?"
Shuichi Akai thought of his original obsession.

However, while pursuing his obsession and searching for the truth, he became entangled with the FBI and other people.

Mr. James, Judy, Mingmei...and his mother and sister.

What is the correct choice?

Akai Shuichi closed his eyes, "Amei... is this considered joining the Five Star Group now?"

Gin squinted his eyes: "You asked a nonsense question."

Kurosawa Mirai rolled his eyes behind him.

"…So, what are you going to do with Judy and the rest of the FBI?" Akai Shuichi opened his eyes, his mind clear.

He would not ignore the Five-Star Group, even though this force had fought against the organization and even helped them a lot, it had also committed crimes.

This is still a criminal organization.

At least that's what he knows now.

Gin raised his eyebrows, and when the corner of his eyes met the corner of the mirror, he showed a half-smile, "Judy Stelling...you said something about her, when she recovers from her illness, we will naturally let her return."

When Judy was captured and for a period of time afterwards, Gin had no intelligence exchanges with the Five Star Group.

But after the rescue of Judy happened, Gin also understood his people's plans.

This is a hostage.

A hostage who is neither big nor small.

At least it is quite useful when used to restrain Akai Shuichi.

Although this FBI ace sometimes considers things from a weird perspective, he is truly sincere when it comes to his own people... provided that his own people are not cannon fodder.

The Five Star Team's initial plan was to control Judy and thus restrict Shuichi Akai to prevent the FBI from taking actions that would be detrimental to them.

I have said it before, the Five Star Group is not a charity.

They can save people or kill people - the people they save may be grateful to them, but they don't know that they are under their control.

but……

At present, it seems that this backup plan may not be used.

——But Shuichi Akai was not aware of Gin’s change of thinking.

He also realized that Judy might become a hindrance to him, so he said in a deep voice, "If I join the Five Star Team, she can return to the FBI without any harm or threats from you...right?"

Gin knocked on the table and said noncommittally, "Only if she doesn't leak any of our information...except for anything related to her treatment."

When the two of them were talking, they didn't notice that Kurosawa Mirai behind them had dimmed his eyes...

"I joined the FBI just to find my father's whereabouts." Akai Shuichi suddenly changed the subject, "Can you provide me with the information I need?"

"..."

The sound of Gin chewing candy suddenly stopped, and his eyes gradually became subtle.

His silence attracted the attention of Lie, Jing, and everyone else.

Just when Akai Shuichi was disappointed and thought that the Five Star Team had no solution, Gin suddenly spoke again:

"If you ask me where your mother is now, I have no answer...but I do know something about your father."

Akai Shuichi was slightly startled, then suddenly became solemn: "My father, he, is he still alive?"

Gin didn't say anything, just gave Rei a look.

The latter immediately understood and took out a contract from under the sofa with a smile: "Do you want to know? If you want to know, just sign it. After signing this contract, you will know where your father is. "

Akai Shuichi: "..."

He really wanted to know how many places in Lie's family had hidden this kind of thing?
Background board Mr. Ke: “…” It’s over, he felt like he was going to lose another teammate.

Background board someone: "..."

I feel like the new organization I joined is a bit funny in recruiting people, but it's also weirdly serious...

So, is she considered to have betrayed CIA now? If her father knew about this, would he ascend to heaven for the second time?
Kiel's thoughts began to go awry.

Conan is very worried that his revolutionary comrades will defect.

Shuichi Akai felt very heavy after taking the contract: he never thought that Gin actually knew the whereabouts of his father!

You know, he had been a member of the FBI for more than ten years and had been undercover in the organization for more than two years, but he didn't get any news about his father... When he asked this question just now, he didn't have much hope at all. He just wanted to test the bottom line that the Five-Star Group could give, or try to take back some initiative - who would have thought that he was still being controlled so tightly!

As for the possibility that the other party deceived him...

Although Shuichi Akai has always regarded Gin as the big boss and imaginary enemy, he doesn't think that Gin would lie to him about such things.

Because there is really no need.

Shuichi Akai held the contract and fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a while, he decided to look at the contract.

Unexpectedly, after just a few glances, Shuichi Akai was deeply attracted by the contents of the contract and couldn't help but read it carefully.

……

"The results you expected are inconsistent with what you have now."

When Shuichi Akai was immersed in the contract, Jing spoke coldly.

He was unable to lower his unpleasant voice, and not only Gin, but everyone sitting next to him could hear it.

But except for Sawada Hiroki and Rei, everyone else had some doubts on their faces -

Without him.

It’s because Jing spoke pure Mandarin.

"Some unexpected situations occurred, but it's not a big problem... at least it won't have any impact on the future development of the Five-Star Team." Gin also used his native language for the first time in a long time.

But his words did not completely make Jing let go of her concerns.

On the contrary, Jing's voice was even more ruthless:
“That’s just your personal judgment.

"We are not an orphanage, we cannot recruit anyone at will." This rule was set by you in the beginning."

Gin raised an eyebrow, "I know."

"I know nothing." The mirror was expressionless.

Gin: "..."

Why is his friend still swearing?
"The Five Star Group is not the Dark Night. There is no so-called 'boss' here, and it is not your place to have the final say." Jing's words were cold and full of warnings. "You'd better not learn bad things from certain people."

Mirror's meaning seems to be that if Gin learns bad things, bad things will happen.

This was clearly reflected in both his eyes and his words.

Gin also believed that if he really became a dictator one day, the first person to take ruthless action against him would be Jing - only Jing had such courage and determination.

After all, Kagami was more or less recognized by Gin as an outlier that could survive in extremely harsh conditions even without his help.

Even without Gin, Kagami would probably still be a ruthless person.

However, there are no ifs in everything.

Gin laughed and shook his head: "Don't worry... Never mind, I'd better explain it to you clearly, that is..."

He whispered a few words into Jing's ear, briefly explaining the results of his meeting with someone today.

After hearing what Gin said, Jing's expression was a little strange for a moment, and the look he gave Gin was also strange: "Are you serious?"

Gin said righteously: "Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"

Jing's expression instantly returned to indifference: "Have you forgotten? You said you would be back soon--"

"That was an accident! And didn't I come back in the end?" Gin's eyes widened. "Eight years, do you know how I spent those eight years in the organization?"

"I know." Jing's indifference eased a little. "If I hadn't known your experience, I wouldn't have forgiven you."

Gin curled his lips: "Why do you say that like a grudge?"

"..."

Jing slowly took out the hidden dagger.

Gin immediately changed his tone, "I was joking, brother, calm down!"

Jing raised his eyebrows, curled the corners of his mouth, and retracted the dagger with satisfaction.

It wasn't because of Gin's timid attitude, but mainly because Jing enjoyed the smooth address of "big brother".

If we really rank people by age, Gin would indeed have to move a bit back - if we only look at the age of this world.

"In that case, the handover between the Five Star Team and 'Black Night' will be completed by you alone."

Jing brought their conversation back to the right track, "I'll explain it to them clearly. If they say something evil..."

"Xie should do what he needs to do. There's no need to make special arrangements for him. He's very smart." Gin curled his lips and then showed concern for his friend. "After this matter is over, you and Lie can go back. You've been working hard during this period."

Lie crawled over at this time, and pulled his hands forward in unison with John, and lay on Jing and Gin's legs like a giant baby.

At this moment, the giant baby Lie was looking at them with tears in his eyes, his voice choked with sobs, "Brother Ren! Are you going to chase us away now? I won't leave! I can still eat here... and work hard for another hundred years~!"

Gin: "..."

mirror:"……"

Is it just to eat and drink and wait for death?

Don’t think that they can’t spell out the full meaning just because you say two words!
Gin slapped Lie on the head without any hesitation and rubbed his white hair hard a few times. Then he grabbed Lie by the collar, pulled him up and forced him to sit up straight.

"You are not at the headquarters now. Even if Xie is monitoring the situation over there, I still feel uneasy." Gin said seriously, "The management of the headquarters and other branches still requires your attention. Japan can be left to me... Anyway, 'Night' is not threatening for the time being.

But it would be better for me to be in Japan so that I can maintain a good relationship between "Black Night" and the Five Stars Group.

Otherwise, there are only Karasuma Renya and Vermouth in Japan. When it comes to actually controlling the organization, I'm not sure if they will pretend to obey, so I feel more at ease if I do it myself."

Hearing this, Jing raised an eyebrow, "Didn't you say that you are blood relatives?"

"...If he says yes, then yes? Although it may be true." Gin twitched his lips, "Forget about Vermouth. I have been with her for more than ten years, so I am quite familiar with her. Plus, she is quite emotional, so it is no problem for me to trust her. But...I have only met Karasuma Renya three times, how can I trust him?"

Don't even mention belief.

Just thinking about it still seems outrageous to him.

Even when Gin thought of the family tree that Karasuma Renya told him, he wondered if he was dreaming.

Jing's eyes flashed, "As long as you know the answer."

Gin tilted his head and grinned: "You won't be jealous, right?"

"...Hehe." The mirror was expressionless. "What are you jealous of? Are you jealous that you are an orphan who has no home to return to?"

Gin: "..."

Tsk, the attack failed.

Lie opened his eyes like a curious baby, "Brother Jing, Brother Ren, what are you talking about?"

Jing snorted and pulled Lie over again. Then Gin laughed slyly and said something in Lie's ear.

Lie's expression gradually changed from dull to shocked...

My god, Brother Blade is actually...

Is it so exciting?
