The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

Chapter 1212: Amateur in Foreign War, Expert in Civil War

After firing the gun, Rena Mizunoshi stood up panting, turned her head and saw Gin behind her. She didn't say anything, but silently opened the safety of the pistol and put it back into the holster.

She wasn't intentionally showing her murderous intent to Gin. She was simply so shocked that she didn't have time to change her expression in time, and the emotional fragmentation caused her facial features to become distorted.

——There’s no way around it. Anyone who sees a former colleague who was dead after all inquiries suddenly resurrect in front of them and becomes a key member of the company next door will be shocked.

Fortunately, this behavior was completely reasonable in the context of a brutal pursuit. Mizunashi Rena didn't bother to explain, and simply asked coldly, "It's done. What about Binga? Is there anything else to deal with?"

Gin considered the context and thought that Rena Mizunashi was dissatisfied with Binga's performance.

To be honest, he was quite dissatisfied.

Although the deceased Curacao did not handle the same task well, because Rum received the necessary information in time and Kumail's reaction was timely enough, the losses were not further expanded. Gin, who was not implicated to clean up the mess, reacted very calmly.

But one intrusion couldn't be dealt with, and the technicians who had no ability to resist escaped and ran wildly on the streets at night. Even if the surveillance did not capture Kiel's image and did not cause any trouble, this kind of thing is still unpleasant.

"That's the only one." Gin turned his head away, no longer looking at the bloodstains slowly spreading on the water. "Binga has already evacuated. Let's go."

"Tsk. So all he did was run into one rebel by accident, and before he could deal with him, he escaped." Mizunashi Rena mocked without hesitation, "No wonder Rum wanted him to go out and lurk."

With this ability, you won't be able to survive if you don't fight in ambush or in direct confrontation, right?

Gin, who understood her implication, curled up the corners of his mouth, but quickly suppressed it and held down his hat. "His mission is almost over anyway. Let's go. Vodka is still waiting."

It sounds like nice words, but Rena Mizunashi still accurately captured Gin's rare true feelings.

——The mission is almost completed. It won’t cause any more trouble and it’s not of much use.

It seems that Gin really doesn't have a good face towards those who are close to Rum's subordinates.

Mizuno Rena, who had expected this in her heart, showed no strange expression on her face. She nodded and followed Gin's pace.

She guessed what the greatest significance of the information she left behind was, and what Tang Ze hoped she could find out.

She launched into her sharp critique without blinking.

"Why do people from Rum always like to do this kind of hidden work? A bunch of rats." Mizunashi Rena said righteously.

Curacao has combat capabilities, but he is always doing intelligence work for Rum. He is also used as a monitor in the laboratory to spy on the organization's research content.

Bourbon, now she knows that Bourbon's situation is completely different from the organization's understanding, but judging from his style of doing things, when he was sent to approach Tang Ze and investigate the situation, he also took the route of disguising his identity and approaching the target.

Not to mention Binga, who has disappeared in recent years. If it weren't for the fact that he occasionally handles the organization's European work, he would be as good as dead. Obviously, he also has his own disguised mission...

Gin went over the idea in his mind, so he didn't refute Rena Mizunashi's ridicule. He just replied flatly, "They are the faction that handles intelligence. Not surprising."

Not being surprised does not mean approval.

So it turns out that Gin really dislikes rum.

Mizunashi Reina cheered up for a moment, then quickly started complaining, "The action team is working so hard, but aside from Bourbon and Kumail who occasionally cooperate, I don't see them putting in much effort. Are all the people on Rum's side like this?"

Gin glanced at Rena Mizunashi who was still wearing a cycling helmet beside him.

He could hear that Rena Mizunoshi wanted to know why she hated Rum so much, or in other words, she wanted to find out Rum's weaknesses.

Even though she was able to move freely and even recovered to the point where she could go on missions, the actual injuries on Rena Mizunoshi's body were still not fully healed.

Today, in order to cooperate with their actions and not hold them back, Rena Mizunoshi received several injections before going on the mission. Otherwise, after such a set of strenuous exercises, even the strongest willpower would be dragged down by the pain and she would not be able to perform at her full potential.

Based on these facts, he could understand Mizunashi Rena's unhappiness, and since Kiel was indeed a member who had passed the test...

Gin, having made a compromise, relaxed a little, which was unusual for him.

"They are all in this style, including Rum himself."

What can shake the foundation of a second-in-command is definitely not a new wolf that has just emerged and is ready to challenge the status of the wolf king, but the weakness and incompetence exposed by himself, which fuels the ambitions of his subordinates.

Gin's principle is to never take sides, and having Rum sitting in this position is more in line with his habits, but in his heart, he does look down on the other party.

Now, the wind has changed too much. As long as he can prove that there is a bigger plot behind what Rum asked Binga to get involved...

"If he had dared to fight back, he wouldn't have gotten into such a big mess out of his fear of life and greed, and Bourbon wouldn't have had a chance."

----

"It's quite surprising that you still obey Rum's orders."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Vermouth was flipping through the pages of her mobile phone boredly, combing her fluffy curly blonde hair casually, facing the evening breeze with the scent of the ocean blowing from the sea, and made a lazy joke.

"After all, the time hasn't come yet." Amuro Toru curled his eyes with a smile, but didn't continue her words. "Even if you are confident, you can't do it without preparation."

He knew that Vermouth was hinting that now that things had come to this, he could start planning how to defeat Rum and take his place, but Amuro Toru knew in his heart that the time was still far away.

The only person who can truly influence this matter is the head of the organization. Unless something unexpected happens, it may depend on Tang Ze's thoughts.

He could feel that Tang Ze's current plan was aimed at Rum.

If not for this, Tang Ze would not have insisted on taking Curacao away, nor would he have let Jing come into contact with this place so frequently.

It is their responsibility to continuously strive to remove internal obstacles. As one of the most direct victims, Jing does have reason to participate in the internal screening, but the fact that he is so eager to do so shows that Tang Ze has a purpose.

"The timing..." Vermouth narrowed her eyes and said nothing more, thinking of the previous obscure discussion with Kumail.

Kumail is determined to kill Rum, and this is not something she or anyone else can easily change.

Now she was just curious about where Kumail got the confidence to get out Rum, a guy who liked to hide in a safe area.

For the sake of his own life, Rum has made many plans over the years. This kind of selfish and self-centered person is the most difficult to kill. You never know if he will have a backup plan to save his life.

But forget it, let the conspirators work on their own for such things.

Vermouth quickly let herself go and picked up her phone again, called up the link, and examined the man in the news photo.

"Let's not talk about that. Anyway, our goal is to get the person out, and then use the system to find him. Let them worry about the rest on their own."

As Amuro Toru listened to her explain the details of the mission, he glanced at the man with a serious expression on his phone screen.

Mario Argento, Member of the European Parliament.

Because of his special professional background, he is now a politician with high support rate and does have a certain influence in the European Union.

But these are not enough reasons for the organization to go to such great lengths to target him. There must be more purposes behind their actions.

"Is it really necessary to go to all this trouble?" With something in mind, Amuro Toru tapped the steering wheel with his fingers, looking impatient. "If you absolutely have to kidnap or assassinate someone, there's no need to go to all this trouble. Kumail hasn't been so busy lately, has he?"

Vermouth put down her phone and glanced at him sideways.

She deeply suspected that Bourbon had discovered some of the essence of Kumail's abilities, and these words were more of a test.

But thinking that this person had already made the core list, there was nothing to hide, and her expression remained flat. "Yeah, it would be faster to have Kumail come. It's just that they gave the information too late."

It's so troublesome, with invasion and kidnapping, it's simply because there is not enough time.

Kumail has been busy dealing with Tang Zezhao's identity issues these days, and Bourbon must be aware of this.

Kumail's currently confirmed abilities include a series of very useful skills such as mind control and mental disorder, which are always effective on a killer. However, when Binga's message was delivered, this system had already been completed.

In a few days, its existence will be officially announced as the institution is put into use. By then, the target's value will increase again, and so will the security level. It will not be as convenient as it is now.

If Kumail is given a month to leave the country and come here to deal with this matter specifically, perhaps everything can be done quietly and without bloodshed. But if there is no time to move forward slowly, they have no choice but to come here.

"Oh, I understand. Rum is always in a hurry." Amuro Toru shrugged, not showing whether he understood Vermouth's implication or not. "Time is money."

This is Rum's favorite saying. Others may not know it, but people like Vermouth who have more contact with it must have heard it.

"Yeah, I'm glad you understand. It's not just us, Kiel's side will come looking for us later too." After combing her hair twice, Vermouth answered casually.

Toru Amuro raised his eyebrows, didn't ask any more questions, just closed the car window and started the car.

He reorganized the situation of this mission in his mind and made a judgment.

——It was not Rum’s idea that Vermouth would come to help him handle this task, or rather, it was not entirely Rum’s idea.

Vermouth's words imply that this matter is no longer a problem within the Rum forces, and other people in the organization are also keeping an eye on it.

In the current mission, he represents Rum, but this is not entirely the case for Vermouth. She probably represents the boss's will.

That is to say...

"There are only so few people to deal with it, and they are not united?" Hearing what Tang Ze said, Akai Shuichi pushed his glasses on his face, and almost couldn't hold back his gentle expression.

He knew that there was serious internal strife in the organization, especially on the Rum side, but he still didn't expect it to be so serious.

"How could they possibly be on the same page?" Karasawa, sitting in the terminal, watched Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran excitedly go shopping, his voice uncontrollable. "Rum wants it, the organization wants it, and maybe there are others with other needs... but each of them has different reasons for wanting this system."

The Black Organization has never lost to anyone in terms of being good at domestic wars but not good at foreign wars.

Before leaving for Hachijo Island, Tang Ze specifically confirmed the action status of all parties, which made this point even clearer.

Binga is the dog released by Rum. His actions fully represent Rum's thoughts and will, which is to try to leave a backdoor in this cross-age recognition system, not to prevent the construction of the monitoring network system, and hope to continue to use it in the future.

No matter how small the coverage area is, this is a global platform spanning multiple continents. It is always easier to find people than groping around like a headless fly.

The part that was shaken away by Toru Amuro was Rum's backup plan, which was to go a step further, bypass the organization that established the network system, master this technology by himself, and expand control.

Rum considered that this system might be shut down due to various reasons such as privacy policies, passive resistance of member states, and inability to establish cross-border intelligence sharing agreements. However, he did not give up this technology. Instead, he hoped to use it for his own benefit. The Bourbon he threw out was to deal with this problem.

As for Vermouth, Tang Ze believes that she represents more of the boss's ideas and also includes her own ideas.

Those who have most likely used the silver bullet to change their age do not want their secrets to be exposed, and the same goes for Vermouth.

Gin's side is more intriguing, because at first glance, it seems that he doesn't need to be involved in this matter. Apart from Bingala's hatred for him, there is no connection between him and this matter for the time being.

However, Tang Ze believes that this side probably has certain ideas, but they have not been exposed yet.

"I remember that you had a related engineer before..." Shuichi Akai asked back, moving his eyes away from the message "The real murderer is Binga" sent by Rena Mizunashi on his mobile phone.

The explosion at the Twin Towers was essentially an attempt to cover up the traces of engineer Hara Jiaming trying to use the computer room of the Tokiwa Group to send out certain information or technology of the organization.

But Tang Ze was responsible for handling this engineer, Yuan Jiaming himself.

Although he was told to the outside world that he was missing or dead, Shuichi Akai knew very well that since it was Karasawa who dealt with him, Karasawa had no reason to kill him.

In this regard, Tang Ze's strategy is quite conservative and he rarely kills or injures anyone.

"Well, I've dealt with the relevant personnel before. So Rum didn't expect the organization's programmers to figure it out, right?" Tang Ze admitted, "He's probably gone to the United States now. If you hadn't 'quit', you might still be able to contact him."

In short, Tang Ze sent him away through FBI channels.

Akai Shuichi, who had never received any notification but knew exactly where Tang Ze's channel came from, said: "..."
