Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

Da da da……

Gollum-

The sound of leather heels tapping on the marble floor was regular and rapid.

Accompanied by the sound of the suitcase wheels dragging,

It kept echoing in the empty subway station, like the whispers of ghosts.

The man who had just stepped into the basement door suddenly stopped, lowered the brim of his hat and quickly looked around.

After making sure there is no one around,

He lifted the mask on his face, pulled down the scarf wrapped around his face, and took a deep breath quite uncomfortably.

After a while, he walked slowly into the basement as if he had made up his mind.

"Hey, I'm here."

The man's slightly trembling voice echoed in the empty basement.

Not getting a response, Itakura pursed his lips and slowly walked towards the storage box.

"Where's the goods?"

The man in black suddenly spoke and scared Itakura.

He quickly reached out to cover his pounding heart, and said angrily:

"who are you?"

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Itakura."

The visitor said so.

But his face, with only the lower half exposed due to the brim of his hat, was smiling and he did not seem to be apologetic at all.

Itakura frowned at the other party:

"Where's that guy from before?"

"Vodka has been busy lately and can't spare the time, so I have to do the transaction."

"Really? Then give him a call and ask him to tell me."

'Itakura' took a step back cautiously.

The other party obviously knew that he was very suspicious.

However, seeing the other party's little actions, I couldn't help but want to laugh.

The man nodded as if in compromise, took out his cell phone and dialed Vodka's number.

After a long dial tone, accompanied by a beep, the familiar voice of "Itakura" came from the external mobile phone receiver:

"Bourbon? Didn't you already go get the goods?"

The other party's voice was a little urgent, and there were some strange noises mixed in the background.

Bourbon looked at Itakura who believed him, and took two steps forward with his phone in hand:

"Your trader wants to speak to you or he won't deliver the goods."

boom--

Shila-

There was a popping sound from the other end of the line.

Bourbon held the cell phone that was making the sound of electricity a little further away from himself and shouted in a concerned tone:

"Vodka? Are you okay?"

After a while, the big guy's muffled voice came from the opposite side.

"……fine."

Some vacant land in the distant romantic country.

Vodka leaned against the remaining wall of their new base, brushed off the dust on his body, and silently looked at the man in black robe who was walking into the distance as if in an empty place.

It seems that laying mines is useless.

Gin next to them threw the last grenade, and with an explosion, the off-road vehicle they used as bait was successfully scrapped.

Very good, the other party is unharmed.

He had made too much noise in the city before, which attracted a local manhunt.

In order to avoid any complications, they established a new base in a secluded location outside where no one was around.

Today is the first day the base is built, and also the last day the upper floor will be used.

Should we be thankful that when it was first built, the main part was built underground?

Otherwise they would have no place to stay tonight.

"Vodka! What are you still dawdling about?"

"Here comes big brother!"

After saying this, Vodka released his hand that was covering the phone receiver and said impatiently:

"Mr. Itakura, you can just give him the goods. Bourbon, you can't be incapable of doing even this, right?"

Is he a code name member who joined the organization earlier than Bourbon, or is he Gin's partner?

Even though the other party acts like Gin's subordinate, the person who gets the code name is not a good person.

Hearing this sarcastic remark, Bourbon smiled maliciously:

"I can't compare to you. I haven't been able to come back yet."

"Tsk, if you have time to choke me here, why not go and carry out the mission?"

"Ha! Good. Good luck on your...mission, Vodka."

"Bourbon!"

Listening to the slightly distorted shouting from the other end of the phone, Bourbon hung up the phone neatly.

Then he looked at the man in front of him, who was covered tightly but had a frightened look in his eyes, with a smile on his face:

"Can you trade with me now, Mr. Itakura?"

"That was..."

"Ah, it's just my colleague who was on a mission and probably ran into a little trouble."

Upon hearing this, Itakura's mouth twitched, and the eyes revealed under the brim of his hat looked at Bourbon as if he was looking at a fool.

Does he look like someone who is easy to fool?

Bourbon, who seemed to be in a good mood and was actually in a good mood, didn't care about the other person's look.

Those people really deserved what happened to them.

Although it may be a bit disturbing, I heard that the other party robbed Gin and his friends and gave them compensation.

Recently they have moved to open areas outside the city to 'play'.

Bourbon didn't think any further.

Anyway, he is happy as long as the Black Organization as a whole is unhappy.

What needs to be solved now is...

What exactly did this guy bring?

No matter what it is, it cannot fall into the hands of the organization easily.

He had to find a way to ruin the deal without letting anyone find out...

Looking at the man with a smile on his face, 'Itakura' felt a little apprehensive.

He took out a disc from his pocket and showed it to the other party:

"Here's what you want. As for how to use it, I've also written it down on a piece of paper and put it inside the disc box."

At this point, Bancang paused and continued:

"However, I did not write down the most crucial step. I will tell you only after I am sure that I am safe. After that, the deal between you and me will be completely over. Don't bother me anymore in the future."

"make a deal."

Bourbon reached out to take the CD.

However, Itakura suddenly retracted his hand and looked at the other party with a serious face:

"You didn't bring anyone to monitor our transaction?"

"Of course, we will do what we promised you."

Itakura looked at the person in front of him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with some doubt:

"really?"

The suspicious man obviously didn't trust Bourbon very much.

The latter chuckled, with a somewhat contemptuous expression:

"Do we have to lie to you?"

The lips behind the mask were tightly drawn. Itakura looked at Bourbon angrily and handed the CD back to him.

"I hope you can abide by the agreement between us."

"of course."

The smiling man agreed readily.

After all, what does the vodka agreement have to do with his bourbon?

Just when Bourbon was about to get the CD, a slight "click" sound suddenly came from the empty basement.

Itakura, who watched Bourbon's fingers touch the disc, froze and said angrily:

"You lied to me!"

The CD was put back into his pocket.

Seeing the things in his hands fly away again, Bourbon sighed lightly and said with some dissatisfaction:

"Kil."
