Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 224 218. Rum: What is Gin doing?
A week had passed since Gin's conversation with the boss. During this week, the Intelligence Support Department did not receive any intelligence or news from the training base.

Not only that, a large number of members within the Executive Department who were bribed and turned by the Intelligence Support Department also lost contact at the same time.

If only one or two members lost contact, Rum could still think that these people might have encountered an accident during the mission or had defected again.

But so many members lost contact at the same time...

What exactly happened in the executive department?
"Haven't you found out the situation of the executive department yet?" In an office in a secret base, Rum asked Curacao irritably.

Rum had anticipated this day since the first member of the executive department was bribed.

At the beginning, Rum really didn't intend to make such a big deal.

Just as Gin would train his own intelligence team, Rum naturally also needs his own action team.

There are too many aspects involved in training an action team member individually. The source of personnel, loyalty test, and the talent of the action team member are all important factors that affect the strength of an action team member.

It is not cost-effective to train from scratch, but from the execution point of view, the cost-effectiveness is very high.

At the beginning, Rum's infiltration into the Executive Department might really just be an attempt to secretly take advantage of Gin.

But as the Intelligence Support Department's bribery of the Executive Department became more and more successful, Rum's views were gradually changing.

For example, since bribing the executive department members was so successful, why not take the opportunity to bribe more of them?
These bribed members can also provide Rum with timely information on the movements of the executive department. By analyzing the movements of the executive department, Rum can also grasp Gin's situation in a timely manner.

It can be said that the entire executive department is nothing but a bunch of trash to Rum, not worth mentioning.

Only gin is feared by rum.

It’s hard to say what will happen if you offend others, but if you make Gin angry, he will really kill you.

The ability to take action and execute is simply maxed out.

Rum is too afraid of death. As the most cautious person in the organization, he wouldn't be as cautious as he is now if he wasn't afraid of death.

Generally speaking, if things develop according to plan, Rum would have just gone home and developed two or three hundred people in the executive department.

You have to know that 20% to 30% of the members in a department are other people's people. This is already very abstract.

But Rum had no idea that something more abstract was waiting for him.

After deciding to infiltrate the Executive Department, Rum didn't pay attention to the progress of the matter for a while.

He thought that even if the people in the executive department were incompetent, they shouldn't be infiltrated so quickly, right?

Then the members of the executive department opened their eyes wide for Rum.

When the infiltration plan had been going on for a while and Rum happened to remember to inquire about it, he learned that the entire executive department was about to be incorporated into the intelligence support department.

This news was not only surprising to Rum, it was simply horrifying!
As the second-in-command of the organization, doesn't Rum know what the boss is thinking?
He really didn't expect that the executive department was so useless!
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the high-pressure policy implemented by Gin in the executive department.

Failure of the mission means death, betrayal of the organization also means death, and selling out the interests of the organization means even more death.

Everyone would want to find a boss who is easier to talk to.

Compared to Gin, who is always killing, killing, killing and dying, doesn't Rum look handsome?

The infiltration plan was stopped by Rum immediately. If it continued, the Intelligence Support Department would really incorporate the Executive Department.

Will Rum still have a chance to survive then?
Although the plan was stopped, the executive members who had been bribed were not so easy to deal with.

We can't let Rum come out and tell them, "I was just teasing you, you just need to work hard under Gin from now on"?
This is even more unreliable. Helplessly, this part of the executive department members can only be put on hold temporarily. Before Rum can think of a perfect solution, this is a time bomb that may explode at any time.

Now this bomb seems to have exploded suddenly?

Rum knew very well that it would be a very risky move if he used the secret agent of the Executive Department.

But even so, he couldn't let himself be in a situation where he knew nothing.
.
"No news." Curacao still had that blank expression on her face. Even though Rum was getting anxious, she still said slowly:
"For unknown reasons, the Executive Department has closed most of the bases. No one is allowed to leave or enter, and the communications inside are also under control.

Members outside the base cannot find out the situation of the base, should we send a letter to Gin to inquire about the situation?"

"How can you ask such a fucking question directly?" Rum, who was already anxious and angry, almost couldn't hold it in when he heard Curacao say that.

What's the difference between this and walking into a trap? When the police say they're cracking down, you, a gangster, turn yourself in right away?

How outrageous is that?

But Rum thought about it and realized that there seemed to be no other good way except asking directly...

So you want to ask?
Just when Rum was hesitating, Binga, who had been silent from the beginning, suddenly spoke:
"This doesn't seem to be in line with Gin's style?"

"What do you mean?" Rum turned to look at Binga.

"If it was Gin, if he really found out that the Executive Department had been infiltrated by us, shouldn't he have come to our door immediately?

Even if he can't find you for the time being, we can't escape from our base."

Binga's words suddenly woke Rum up.

Yes, if Gin knew about this, how could he have only closed the executive department? He would have already called the intelligence support department.

As for whether or not you can find rum...to be honest, that's something you'll have to do after you knock on the door.

Such a restrained gin does not fit Rum's original impression of gin.

So...his story hasn't happened yet?
Although Rum is not as nervous as he was at the beginning, the big move of the executive department still makes Rum feel a little unsure. In the final analysis, Rum still wants to give it a try.

"If you really want to test us, you must not touch our own people." Binga, whose status is no longer as high as before, is obviously trying hard to show himself.

At the same time, his suggestions were also taken seriously by Rum.

"If you don't want our people, do you want to use people from the executive department?"

"Oh, no." Binga seemed to have seen that he had regained Rum's trust, and grinned: "The people in the executive department are not reliable, and their status is not high enough. I'm afraid they are not even as good as Gin."

"So who do you have as your pick?"

"What do you think of Pisco, the veteran cadre?"

"Pisco?" Rum was very surprised. He really didn't expect Binga to recommend such a candidate.

Binga and Pisco should have never crossed paths, so...

Is this really just Binga's simple suggestion?

"Binga, tell me what you think, why Pisco?"
