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

Chapter 726: Past Chapter - Linked Beads - 10 Farewell
Tsk, tsk, tsk…

Bare feet moved quickly on the snow.

The further he went in, the more uneasy Kurosawa Jin felt.

On the roads at the intersection, he saw from afar a large number of unfamiliar footprints and wheel marks.

Moreover, the aura he exuded gave him some very dangerous aura...

——A large group of strangers came, and their intentions might be bad.

“I hope nothing happens to them!”

……

Outer city streets.

After getting familiar with the streets with his two younger brothers and preparing to go back, Cang Fengqian suddenly looked in the direction they came from with a sense of something.

The two little guys beside him also raised their heads, looking confused, "Brother, what's wrong?"

"...Nothing." He patted the two people's heads, "Zhen should have gone back, let's go back too."

"Okay~!"

…………

Between the low buildings covered with snow.

Garbage and debris were thrown away at random in this place where basically no one came and went.

But for ordinary homeless children, this place is the most suitable place to live...

but.

At this moment, these living areas welcomed a large group of guests.

Some young children could not tell the difference between good and bad people. Those with more introverted personalities began shouting, hoping that these outsiders who they felt were dangerous would leave.

The shouting stopped abruptly when one of the men in black took out a black piece of iron.

--call out!

——Plop!
"Be quiet, little brats!"

A child who screamed the loudest had a big hole in the middle of his head. The gushing blood had no control over its owner and scattered into blood flowers on the snow.

The man in black who fired the gun saw this scene, let out a hideous laugh, licked his lips, and pointed the gun at the next pale child.

He was enjoying the scene.

The children, who had never seen a gun or such a scene, were already panicking, and some of them even had weak legs.

The adults nearby heard the noise, and those who were lucky enough to see this scene also pulled themselves tightly into the doors and windows, not daring to say a word.

"That's enough, Chablis. Stop causing unnecessary bloodshed."

Another man in black suddenly came up from behind and grabbed the cylinder of the pistol.

The black-clad man called 'Chablis' suddenly lost his smile and turned his head away in disgust, "Fino! That's terrible, why is it you?"

"I was fortunate enough to be assigned a mission by that person to serve as the chief consultant in Japan." Fino's expression was indifferent. "You came here with a mission. I can tell you that someone will come here soon to accept these children, and those people are not under our jurisdiction... You'd better hurry up."

“…Tsk, got it.”

Chablis snorted coldly, but still put away his pistol, called his men beside him, pointed at the children, and said, "You! Take these useless brats to the car, quickly!"

Fino quietly watched the men in black dragging the frightened children away. He looked at the taller ones among the children and spoke again:

"Chablis, I'll take these big ones."

"...Damn it! You want to compete with me for such a small achievement? You are really worthy of being me!"

Chablis's ferocious expression looked as if he was going to kill the other person on the spot.

Both of them are blond-haired and blue-eyed Europeans, which makes them stand out in Japan.

"I'm just helping you share some of the responsibilities, and preventing you from losing control of yourself and killing everyone, so that the organization can still have the next generation." Fino was still very indifferent, and there was a hint of disdain in his tone - disdain for this companion.

The code name 'chablis' has changed hands three times in the past year.

Now this 'Chablis', is the fourth one.

Ignoring his companion's furious face, Fino led his men to another direction. "Let's split up and act more efficiently... Also, clean up the bodies."

“……*****!”

Ignoring the curses from his companions behind him, Fino walked steadily and slowly.

He led his subordinates through the low buildings, looking for children who were alone - it didn't matter if they were homeless, they only wanted young children.

The organization needs a lot of manpower, and he must do this task well.

However, he did not think that the children captured and trained in this way could make much contribution to the organization.

"……Um?"

Fino suddenly stopped and said, "This kid..."

……

Kurosawa Jin was a little nervous.

He didn't expect that these people actually had guns... and they even dared to kill people here!
'Who are these people?'

Kurosawa Jin was sweating profusely because of his anxiety.

Just now, from a distance, he witnessed the scene of one of the children being shot and the other children being taken away and loaded into a truck...

This is no longer as simple as kidnapping.

Those men in black must have some special purpose in kidnapping so many children.

Almost immediately, the words "experimental subject" popped up in Kurosawa Jin's mind... After all, it didn't seem strange that biochemical experiments were conducted in Japan.

So, he immediately wanted to rush back to the shed and take his friends away.

Because he was walking too fast, he didn't notice that there were a dozen men in black who didn't follow the main group; he was afraid of alerting the men in black, so he took a detour.

——And then they collided.

Kurosawa Jin was stunned for a moment when he saw several men in black coming out from the front.

But soon, he weighed the pros and cons in his heart and made the most appropriate move for his reaction at the moment:

He protected his small torn bag like a beast protecting its food, and stared at the person in front of him fiercely.

At the same time, Kurosawa Jin was also weighing in his mind what to do next.

"…Don't be afraid, kid, we mean no harm."

The leading man in black spoke.

On the surface, Kurosawa Jin was still extremely alert and pursed his lips, "Get out of the way."

Inwardly, he laughed several times: No malicious intent? He killed a person without any malicious intent, and even loaded a bunch of little guys onto a truck... If this is not considered malicious intent, then there are probably no bad people in the world.

Kurosawa Jin's reaction made the other men in black feel a little unhappy.

Two of them pulled out their pistols...

However, the blond man in black waved his hand, and the two men had to give up.

"Don't be nervous, kid. We won't do anything to you." He looked at the torn bag that Kurosawa Jin was carrying. "Is this the food you found?"

"Go away!" Kurosawa Jin now acted fierce and aggressive.

However, the cruelty between his brows did not seem fake, which made the other party pay attention to him.

The other person smiled and said, "There is a place where it is very warm. You won't be cold or hungry. You have enough clothes and food. There is also a warm stove in winter... Child, don't you yearn for that kind of life?"

There was a look of confusion on Kurosawa Jin's face. He tilted his head and looked at the man, as if he was attracted by what he said.

But deep in his mind, he was thinking about the other party's purpose and what he should do:
run away?

No, if he ran away, he was not attractive enough. After he ran away, these people might continue searching here, and his friends would eventually be discovered.

Just have a fight?
It's a bit difficult. With his small body, it's hard for him to defeat more than a dozen big men... and the man in front of him gave him a very dangerous feeling. At least he is likely to fail at the moment.

Want to discuss?
It's obvious that these people won't talk to you nicely. If they talk nicely, like now, and you refuse...

It might not end well.

So……

"Where do you want to take me?" Kurosawa Jin narrowed his eyes, no longer confused and bewildered, but looked at them with an inquiring look. "A very far place." The blond man saw his reaction, his eyes brightened, and his smile became more amiable, "I believe in my own judgment... If it were you, you would definitely be able to live a life of luxury there."

"..." Kurosawa Jin was silent, his eyes turned to the shed, "Now?"

"Yes, we have limited time."

"I need to get some stuff."

"Is that where you live? What do you want to take? We will provide you with the items you need on the way."

"Pots and food...how do I know you won't poison them?"

"..."

For a moment, the blond man wondered if the silver-haired boy was suffering from paranoid delusions.

He was about to nod in agreement when suddenly, a group of people appeared from another direction, and the leader cursed, "Hey! Fino! Are you okay? Damn, why are there so few brats in this place?"

…was the one who fired the shot.

Kurosawa Jin recognized him at the first sight and his heart skipped a beat.

Fortunately, the words of the blond man in front of him put his mind at ease: "Chablis, go wait for me outside, I'll be there soon."

Then, he looked down at Kurosawa Jin and said, "I'll give you three minutes to get what you need... Otherwise, you don't need to leave."

Kurosawa Jin accurately caught the murderous intent in the other party's last sentence, and was sure that if he refused, the other party would definitely eliminate the "witnesses".

"understood."

Kurosawa Jin didn't react any more and ran quickly towards the shed.

I opened the door with trepidation.

The shed was quiet and no one else was there.

"Huh... Fortunately, they haven't come back yet."

He put the torn bag on the table and went over to touch a little creature sleeping on the bed.

Time is tight.

Kurosawa Jin took a nail and began to carve words on the only wooden table...

…………

outside the house.

Fino raised his wrist to look at his watch from time to time.

He is a person with a strong sense of time and hates being late the most.

And now there are only fifteen seconds left until three minutes.

"Pity."

Fino shook his head regretfully, waved his hand, and was about to ask someone to go into the house and bring the person out.

Just then, the wooden door of the shed was opened.

The boy walked out of the house with empty hands, his expression was as calm as his - the reason why he liked this boy was because of his expression.

He felt that this child was born to stay in their organization.

Fino stared at the child and his new outfit, "Where are your pots and food?"

He never expected that the child would look at him as if he was mentally retarded. "You don't think it's allowed to light a fire and cook in the car, do you? Aren't you afraid that the car will explode?"

Fino: “…”

Thanks, I was offended.

but.

The expression of 'No way, no way, you believe me when I just said that' on the child's face made him feel that this child was interesting.

"Let's go."

Shaking his head with a smile, Fino took the lead and walked out of the 'restricted area'.

The boy followed behind him, and behind them were the men in black.

He followed the other children and got into a dark van.

Dozens of children were crowded in the carriage, and some of them burst into tears in the dark because they were shocked...

Some children may have been promised benefits, and they were excited, describing the cakes painted by the men in black to their friends around them...

More children looked anxious - they didn't know where they would be sent, nor did they know what their future would be like.

——Only the silver-haired boy in the corner had no expression of sadness or joy on his face. He seemed very indifferent, without any emotion and looked carefree.

Because what he cares about...is not here.

…………

"Brother, why is this place fenced off?"

Outside the 'restricted area'.

Bai Feng poked at the sign that said "No Entry" with some confusion.

Chi Yanlin raised his head and sniffed the air with his little nose, but he didn't know what he smelled.

"…Go home first."

Cang Fengqian was different from the two younger ones. The first thing he noticed was a bunch of messy footprints, some big and some small.

There was also a strange aura...that made him feel very uneasy.

As they entered, the feeling of uneasiness became stronger, and there was also a faint smell of blood...

When he was almost at the shed, Cang Feng stopped in front of it.

He found that there were also some messy footprints a few meters away from the house, and they were very fresh.

Cang Fengqian's expression changed, he rushed over and pushed open the door of the shed, "Formation! Azhe!"

Dim light filtered into the room.

The Brown City Man sitting on the bed raised his head blankly.

Cang Feng was stunned for a moment, then heaved a sigh of relief and went over to touch his brother's head, "Ahzhe, are you okay? Where's Zhen? Didn't he come back?"

Chi Yanlin and Bai Feng also squeezed into the house and sat in a row with their youngest brother.

The Brown City Man looked a little dazed, shook his head, and then nodded, "Brother Zhen is back."

“…You’re back?”

"Left again." The young boy pointed to the table, "Brother brought his things back, wrote on the table, and left with sixteen adults in black clothes."

"..."

Cang Fengqian opened his eyes slightly.

He turned around and saw the torn bag on the table, which was the one that Kurosawa Jin usually carried.

He suppressed the inexplicable emotions in his heart and lit a candle.

'An accident happened. I have to leave. Many people were taken away. Please be careful.'

'I'll be back.'

'There are gifts in the bag, remember to take them.'

"..."

The words carved on the table with nails were very clear and all in Chinese.

Cang Fengqian's expression was gloomy, but he still silently poured out everything in the bag.

Clothes, snacks, lunch boxes, candies...

There were also newspapers and two bags of banknotes.

"elder brother."

The Brown City Man suddenly whispered again, "Brother Zhen doesn't want us anymore?"

"...No." Cang Fengqian touched the little head of the Brown City Man, "He just has something to do. He will be out for a while... and will be back soon."
