Conan: About the fact that I have a black brother

"Withholding funds from the research team?" Lin Yucheng couldn't believe it. "How is that possible? Withholding any funds won't reduce your research funds."

After all, that was Karasuma Renya's hope for immortality, how could he let his hope be dashed?

"That's the truth." Miyano Shiho stirred her coffee. "Today happens to be the latest funding disbursement day. The research team will convert the funds into experimental equipment. When Brandy sent someone to check, he found that the reagents and equipment were missing in quantity and the quality was not good."

She paused and said, "The newly arrived bovine serum was mixed with human blood, which caused a batch of experiments to be scrapped. In the laboratory, some conclusions are difficult to reproduce, which also means that the research team may not be able to come up with a perfect experimental progress this month."

Miyano Shiho took a sip of coffee and carefully looked up to see Lin Yucheng's reaction: "So, Brandy went to ask very quickly. I don't know what he said specifically, but I only know that Brandy got very angry when he called the person in charge to a meeting, and... and told us that all the funds were taken away by Cointreau as an action team."

Lin Yucheng laughed out loud: "This is strange, because..." Before he finished speaking, his cell phone began to vibrate violently. The call was made on a special line to prevent the conversation from being known by a third party.

Lin Yucheng quickly got up and walked outside. When he reached an empty and deserted place, he answered the phone.

"Cointreau, there are some things you should explain." It was Gin, his trembling voice showed his anger at the moment, "Where's the money?"

"I don't know." Lin Yucheng answered seriously, "I don't know where the funds went in the beginning, but after it was transferred to the action team, the money was nearly half gone. I was originally planning to ask Vodka."

"It's no use asking him." Gin interrupted him, "Are you checking?"

"Yes. And, my informant in the laboratory told me that the research team has no money either." Lin Yucheng carefully observed his surroundings, "I suspect that other departments have also lost funds. I haven't checked the personnel department yet, but the intelligence team and the personnel team are both involved. We don't have much authority. Pisco from the Ministry of Finance..." He paused, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Are you familiar with him?"

"I'm not familiar with him." Gin said simply, "You should go get information first. Is it necessary to be so straightforward?"

"There is no room for trial now." Lin Yucheng held the phone tighter, "We need to clarify the flow of funds now. Have you read the latest mission report? The mission failure rate has increased a lot. The official's attention has been paid to us. If this continues, the boss will definitely hold us accountable."

"I'll ask Pisco." Gin recalled his encounter with him, "but don't expect the old fox to tell you much truth."

"Well, by the way, Gin, do you remember where Hollands lives?" Lin Yucheng asked tentatively.

Unexpectedly, Gin, who had been calm and trying to suppress his anger just now, flew into a rage at this moment: "Shut up and don't mention him to me!"

Lin Yucheng was silent. He really didn't expect Gin to hate him so much.

"...I'm sorry." Lin Yucheng apologized with a sympathetic look in his heart, but the next second, he chose to add fuel to the fire, "However, just because we have little interaction with Pisco doesn't mean our parents didn't have any. As far as I know, Huo...that person has a good relationship with Pisco."

He was prepared to be hung up on, but Gin fell silent, which was unusual for him.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "You know a lot, Jundu. Why don't you say more and tell us more about what he told you."

Lin Yucheng didn't know how to respond.

There was a long silence between the two of them, and I don't know who hung up the phone first.

Before one problem is solved, another one arises, and Vermouth's call arrives as expected.

"Xiao Yucheng, my sister is running out of money, can you help me reimburse the mission expenses~"

"Sister Chris, I didn't take the money." Lin Yucheng was exhausted.

Vermouth sighed: "I also know that even if you take it, you have to take it for the entire action team. The intelligence team has Rum, so there is no shortage of funds, but what about other departments in Xiaoyu City?"

"I know Sister Sharon. I've already started investigating." Lin Yucheng rubbed his temple. "Can you please do me a favor?"

"Although I really want to agree, I can't do it now." Belmode rarely rejected Lin Yucheng's request, "I can't get away in the UK."

"okay, I get it."

Back in the cafe, Lin Yucheng was visibly tired.

If all six major departments were short of funds, it might be understood that the organization was on the verge of collapse, but why were all the blame directed at me?

Just because you went to Karasuma Renya to ask for some money?

Humph, Lin Yucheng sneered, is the old man so impatient? Then don't blame him for making a big noise.

Miyano Shiho had already finished a cup of coffee. Seeing Lin Yucheng coming back with a bad look on his face, he pursed his lips and kindly asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, of course I'm fine." Lin Yucheng smiled a little grimly, "If you have Liuliumei, I'll be even finer. Well, you don't have to stay here, go find your sister, it's rare for you to come out, have some fun."

Miyano Shiho packed up her things and stood up. Seeing that Lin Yucheng was still sitting there, she asked, "What about you?"

"Me?" Lin Yucheng showed a professional fake smile, "Coffee tasting."
