On the possibility of Gin's younger brother taking his older brother away

At the agreed time with Itakura Taku, the lower-level personnel guarding the door sent a message via radio:

"Master Ramos, I didn't see anyone else go in except a little kid and a drunkard."

Chihara Aki knew Conan had arrived. He held onto his headset and ordered, "Continue monitoring and wait for news from Vodka."

Because of his own intervention, he replaced someone who was originally connected with Vodka in the plot.

After receiving Vodka's call, Qian Yuanqiu conveyed the news.

Hearing Vodka's voice suddenly disappear, estimating the time, he speculated that it was Gin who stopped Vodka from exposing his identity.

At this time in the storage room, Gin pulled out the Beretta and aimed it at Vodka. The other party's carelessness gave him a headache.

When Gin received the message from Vodka asking him to change the transaction time, he instinctively sensed something was wrong.

Just in case, he came over to oversee the mission in person.

As he expected, Vodka didn't pay attention to details and fell into the trap from the beginning.

But after all, they are his subordinates, so Gin will still protect them.

As long as the mission is successful, he can turn a blind eye to the incidents that occur during the process.

As for the daring detective, Gin rarely showed any interest in the cat-and-mouse game.

After leaving the basement, Gin suddenly remembered and asked, "Where's Ramos? Isn't he here too?"

"Ramos is directing the people in the base to monitor the area."

Vodka looked at the phone that had been hung up and answered honestly.

"Does he still need to take charge of that kind of thing?"

Gin was a little dissatisfied. He looked at the dejected Vodka and asked, "Didn't I ask him to cooperate with you to complete this task?"

Vodka was a little speechless.

Ramos was so kind and trusted himself, but he still made a mistake in front of his elder brother.

Gin looked at Vodka's timid appearance and dialed Qian Yuanqiu's contact number: "Is there anyone coming out?"

"Brother Gin, I have been watching with people, but no one has come out."

Qian Yuanqiu naturally answered no, and he was telling the truth.

Gin was a little dissatisfied, but what was more important now was to confirm the contents of the CD. He hung up the phone and left with the vodka.

After a while, Qian Yuanqiu dismissed the people on the lower level and walked into the basement with his hands in his pockets.

He counted the number of compartments in the locker, found the one where Conan was, and gently opened it.

As expected, Conan had passed out due to lack of oxygen.

He was huddled in the small space, sweating all over. As the fresh air rushed in, the rise and fall of his chest became a little rapid.

Noah felt a little emotional when looking at Edogawa-kun, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

If it weren't for the intervention of external forces, he would have always upheld his own justice, broken free from the shackles of the organization, and kept moving forward.

But now he is bound by a bigger cage, his route forward becomes a 'Mobius strip' with no end, and he becomes a tool for practicing 'justice'.

Secretly, Noah also hoped that Edogawa could break free as soon as possible. He didn't want the person who said those words to him to become a puppet of the plot.

Chihara Aki hid the note she had written the night before inside Conan's clothes, making sure he wouldn't take it out in front of outsiders.

"Well, he'll be surprised when he finds out."

Qian Yuanqiu's tone was full of mischief, "But he didn't dare tell anyone because of his 'justice'."

Noah lit a candle for Edogawa-kun in his heart.

On the way back, Noah asked a question that he had been thinking about for a long time:

"Why did Senhara-kun's brother give up the last square so easily?"

Given his caution, he would not give up just because of that one square.

This is inconsistent with Gin's previous image.

Hearing Noah's question, Qian Yuanqiu pinched the hair hanging on her shoulders and thought for a moment.

"That author will definitely not let Conan be exposed to Brother Gin right now. Brother Gin will kill him."

"But in order to create an atmosphere of oppression, Gin will check the boxes one by one."

He sighed, "It's just the arrangement of the plot."

When I walked out of the basement, heavy snow was already falling outside.

Qian Yuanqiu raised his palms upwards and let the snowflakes fall.

But the temperature of the human body is destined to not be able to hold it for too long, and after a slightly cool touch it will turn into invisible water droplets.

"Let's go check out those places tomorrow. Before Vermouth is exposed, the organization will have some free time."

Qian Yuanqiu yawned and shook off the water droplets on his hands.

The third underground floor of the base.

Gin handed the CD to the researcher and went out to wait.

Vodka is outside investigating the situation of Itakura Taku himself.

"Brother, that guy is dead." He said in disbelief, "Killed by one of his friends."

Gin calmed down and thought about the hidden connection behind this matter.

"Who are the people who knew about his death?"

Vodka hacked into the police system, pulled up the transcript and said, "His three friends, a detective, a woman, and a child."

"Detective?" Gin asked warily.

"It was Kogoro Mori, who is very popular in Tokyo right now, who was commissioned by three friends of Itakura Taku."

Vodka replied, turning the laptop screen towards his eldest brother.

Gin finished reading the transcript and frowned.

Kogoro Mori seemed to be involved accidentally.

At this moment, the cell phone in his coat pocket vibrated. It was the person who asked him to report on the mission.

On the second basement floor, Gin looked at the figure on the screen and expressed all his suspicions.

The man listened quietly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Mouri Kogoro is still in the police station. Mojito said that he is fine."

Gin understood what he meant: "I will investigate again."

"Let's put this matter aside for now and see how the software developed by Itakura Taku works."

"It has been handed over to the research team members for verification." Gin whispered.

The man exclaimed with satisfaction: "We are one step closer to success, Gin, and this is inseparable from your efforts."

Gin just stood there silently without saying anything.

The other person, on the other hand, was very excited and continued, "I hope this program can find new samples. Looking for a needle in a haystack is too inefficient."

He expressed his feelings and didn't care about Gin's silence.

Finally, he said with a hint of regret: "You and Vermouth should go to the experimental group again when you have time. You are indispensable."

This conversation finally ended.

Gin returned to the third underground floor, where Vodka was waiting for him.

"Brother, the research team has come up with the results." Vodka came forward and reported the progress of the mission.

"Itakura Taku really made it according to our requirements. This guy is quite capable."

"Big brother?"

Vodka finally noticed Gin's gloomy expression and asked carefully.

"Don't pay any more attention to Maori Kogoro. Continue to track down other suspicious persons."

Gin's face darkened, and his tone was slightly cold: "Let's start from the hotel where Shirley escaped last time."

"yes, Sir."
