Detective Conan: Knifeman? I'm a good citizen of Beihua

"The master treats you well—"

Grenada snapped.

"Haha, so what? Isn't it still his dog?" Rum sneered, "Oh, yes, not even a guard dog, but a dog that can be thrown away at any time."

What kind of person is he if he has never even seen one?

Rum had had enough!

"You're crazy-"

Grenada said as another subordinate beside Rum rushed towards him.

The old man looked frail, but his reaction was not slow. He ran outside in a flash, not wanting to fight at all.

Toru Amuro was still confused about what was happening in front of him, but when he glanced at the scene, he suddenly found that Gin and Vodka were gone!

"Gin and the others are missing!" Amuro Toru quickly reminded them.

No matter what Rum thinks now, he must be with Rum before the police break in.

"Leave him alone for now." Rum said, picking up the communicator in Ente's arms and quickly contacting the outside world, "Let's act now!"

-

"Mr. Zhufu, it seems like something is approaching!"

Yuya Kazami shouted in surprise.

Zhu Fujingguang hurried over: "What's going on?"

"It looks like an armed vessel, apparently coming from the Pacific Ocean." The person reporting it also sounded surprised. "But we haven't received any relevant notification. It must have entered the country illegally."

"How could they have ended up here by accident?"

Feng Jianyu was a little anxious, "If they affect our actions——"

"Follow."

Zhu Fu Jingguang suddenly said.

"Follow, follow?" Feng Jianyu was surprised. "Are they also members of the organization?"

The person in charge of the submarine warned: "If we continue to get closer, the underwater fortress may discover us."

After all, they are also quite large in size.

"Well, let's keep getting closer. Don't worry about the people in the fort being discovered." Zhu Fu Jingguang thought, "I guess they must have started the chaos internally."

Zero mentioned before that the conflict between rum and gin actually always stems from the checks and balances of that gentleman, and the two of them have been balancing each other for so many years that they have long been tired of it.

Zhu Fujingguang guessed that the current actions were most likely caused by rum or gin.

Thinking of this, Zhu Fu Jingguang directly ordered the others: "Notify the main force in the rear, everyone wear your equipment, we are ready to act at any time!"

-

The underwater fortress seemed to have been hit by something——

This was Conan's first thought.

"it hurts--"

This was his second thought.

Conan got up from the ground and rubbed his head which had just hit the wall. Then he saw a huge bulge on the metal wall of the corridor on their side, as if something had crashed in from outside and was embedded in the outer wall.

Looking at the raised shape, Conan swallowed.

Hello, this is definitely not done by the police, right?

Play so big?

Before Conan could react, Vermouth, who had steadied himself, grabbed him by the collar and evacuated him to the other side: "It's not safe here, let's go!"

Conan flew into the air and was dragged towards the center by Vermouth. However, he saw Enda lying in a pool of blood over there, his life or death unknown.

It seems that Vermouth was the one who did it... She seems to have an unusual hostility towards these people -

Something was hitting the fortress outside. Even though Conan was inside the fortress, he could clearly hear the clanging sounds of things hitting the fortress, like rain.

But this rain is not timely rain, but hail that carries the threat of death!

Conan now confirms and is certain that this incident was most likely done by one of Rum or Gin!

This is crazy! Don't want to die!

Suddenly, he remembered Karasuma Renya who was still behind the white space, and looked up at Vermouth: "That gentleman is also on this ship, don't you care?"

Vermouth sneered: "Don't worry, he is safe!"

"Isn't he here?"

Conan's heart skipped a beat when he heard what Vermouth said.

As if she noticed Conan's nervousness, Vermouth glanced at him with a half-smile and said calmly, "Don't worry, he's right here."

Then why did Vermouth say that?

Conan always felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Just then, a group of armed mercenaries emerged from the other end of the corridor.

Conan looked around and found that the entire interior space's upper and lower circular corridors were full of gun-wielding mercenaries.

Those guys seemed to appear out of nowhere, but they were intimidating enough.

"Hand him over to us." A mercenary pointed at Vermouth.

"I will protect him. He is an important material for you, sir." Vermouth replied.

"No."

The mercenary raised his gun: "The outside has been destroyed. Everyone who entered here today must be eliminated."

Vermouth's pupils shrank slightly, and she took Conan to the side.

"boom--"

Sure enough, a large bullet hole appeared where they had just stood.

"Everyone, please take note. Clear out all outsiders today."

"Everyone, please protect the experimental materials—"

Vermouth took Conan and quickly flew to another direction. As she listened to the sound of the walkie-talkie coming from behind her, her expression became slightly cold.

"This guy Rum has really caused us so much trouble."

Conan was surprised: "Is it Rum who did it?"

He also felt that Gin had a higher chance of success.

"Gin? Haha, he's not as good as rum in this regard."

Vermouth quickly explained, "Rum controls all the connections in the organization and is also responsible for many internal logistical tasks, such as weapons, transportation, base housing, etc."

"Like the Osprey we saw earlier, it was something Rum got from the US."

This is the genius of that gentleman. He allowed Rum to have resources and connections, but weakened his manpower, making Rum just an "intelligence officer" who could not use those things for his own benefit. He also allowed Gin to have manpower and command power, but weakened his connections, making Gin just an "operational officer" who could not move a single step without weapons and logistics.

So this is also the crux of the conflict between the two sides.

Rum wants the people in Gin's hands, and Gin wants the resources in Rum's hands.

No one can do anything to anyone.

"So the things that are attacking the fort now were brought by Rum?"

Vermouth nodded, his face still a little dark. "He went to the United States some time ago and said he had acquired an Osprey and a batch of arms for the organization. I think he took advantage of that time to prepare."

Conan was shocked.

Are these mostly military stuff?

Fight with you guys who stir up trouble at will!

Perhaps because they were not careful, they turned a semicircle and collided head-on with Rum and others.

Vermouth paused.

Rum narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Conan with his only eye, his eyes emitting a greedy and calculating light: "Vermouth, give me that boy, and I can still let you live."

Vermouth decisively protected Conan behind her, then shot at Rum: "Get out——"
