In the dimly lit, cramped single room, the silver-gray-haired youth sat listlessly on the bed, leaning against the wall, his dark red eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, as if he had been broken.

[All transmigrators have arrived. Group chat function activated.]

A strange prompt appeared in his mind, and the young man's listless eyes refocused. His trembling fingers picked it up; the old-fashioned phone emitted a faint glow. His dark red pupils focused on the screen, his gaze radiating fervor.

The group owner has changed the group name to "[The Winery Family]".

Xiao Renwu: !!!

Lu Renjia: Family, it seems I've traveled through time, and it's the world of Detective Conan.

Long Tao: Me too! I did a 10-pull before coming here, and I haven't even seen what I got yet! Please don't let it be Conan, I'd really appreciate it.

Zhong Qun: Oh my god, I think I'm a detective, and I even have an agency.

She Chu: My job is bullshit. Why am I still a police officer who works year-round even after transmigrating?

……

Look closely, this man is called Xiao Jiang. Just ten minutes ago, he was sitting on his big bed playing the newly released "XXX Conan" mobile game and had just drawn an SSR card - Gin.

Before I could even share it with my family in the group, my phone screen flashed wildly, and in the blink of an eye, I was here.

He didn't even know what had happened; he was just saddened by his SSR card and the money in his bank account. That is, until he saw his fan group on that old, broken phone.

"Everyone's wearing it?" Jiang Jin suddenly felt comforted. "I'll send a message too."

[The Winery Family]

Lu Renjia: "I work in the Metropolitan Police Department? In the public security sector, no less. I'm stuck."

Long Tao: "Thanks for the invitation. I'm downstairs from Conan's house. I mean, the coffee shop downstairs from the Mouri Detective Agency. I think I'm the owner, but the coffee shop isn't called Poirot, and I haven't seen Bourbon."

She Chu: "Damn job, damn police."

Pei Nan: "I laughed so hard I almost threw up. I'm in the FBI in the US."

Zhong Qun: "Now that we're on the red team, life is short, so we should enjoy it while we can."

Wu Yu: "No, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens. If Conan wants me to die at midnight, I'll hang myself from a tree at midnight!"

Mei Maobing: "If you're on the red side, you should think twice before you act. Can you do it tomorrow? Can you not do it? Can you delegate it to someone else?"

Bu Xuexi: No, isn't there anyone among us who made it to the black side? We're the black team!

Jinjiang: "Um... I think I am."

Jiang Jin had his reasons for saying that. Nine out of ten text messages on his old-fashioned cell phone were notifications to him to kill someone, and they were all signed by Gin.

In addition, Jiang Jin also saw his login information in an app with a black crow icon on his phone. Don't ask him why he knew the password, because he just did.

Amamiya Jin, 27 years old, codename: Poison, Duyago.

It is a strong black cocktail made from black rum, black vodka, dark beer and lemon juice.

[The Winery Family]

Lu Renjia: "Isn't this our group's only hope?"

Long Tao: "Xiao Jin, what rank are you? No, I mean, what level are you at the distillery?"

Jinjiang: "I don't know what level it is, but it has a code name, so it's definitely not a minor role."

She Chu: "Okay, okay, I've decided to be your informant."

Pei Nan: "Brother, that's what the cops say. You're the opposite, called a traitor."

Bu Xuexi: "Xiao Jin, don't worry, everyone's here. We'll definitely come find you."

Jiang Jin: I'm not in a hurry.

Lu Renjia: "Family members, it seems our system is completely unresponsive right now, only creating groups. It looks like we'll have to rely on ourselves. Fortunately, we're all on the same side, and Chinese people don't lie to each other. Xiao Jin, we'll help you rise through the ranks at the distillery. Whether we can get into the distillery then depends on you."

Jinjiang: "...Thank you?"

Jiang Jin put down his phone, feeling relieved that his group members were all there and in good spirits.

"Ding!" Jiang Jin picked up his phone again. He had received a new email. He opened the email; it was a transaction task.

[The Winery Family]

Jinjiang: "Family members, I have received my first mission since I came here."

Lu Renjia: "Tell us quickly, and we'll give you some ideas."

Long Tao: "If it's murder, are we going to come up with ideas? Isn't that a mismatch between our expertise and our realities?"

Bu Xuexi: "What a joke! You've come all this way, and your major isn't even relevant?"

Long Tao: "That seems to make sense."

She Chu: "I can help you abuse your power for personal gain."

Jinjiang: "It's not that scary, it's just a transaction task."

Lu Renjia: "Could it be that the tropical amusement park has a trading mission?"

Long Tao: "Do you think we can go back if the main character dies?"

Bu Xuexi: "It's not impossible. If it really is Tropical Paradise, Xiao Jin, we should strike first and give him a couple more pills."

Pei Nan: "Huh? You're leaving already? We just arrived."

Song Rentou: "Are you stupid? In the world of Detective Conan, you might just run into him and get killed for some inexplicable reason."

Pei Nan: "Hey bro, you just got here? What's your background?"

Song Rentou: "Don't fucking mention it. The president of some company is really finished. I've prepared a rope. If anyone tries to kill me, I'll hang myself first."

"Ding—" Jiang Jin was looking at the messages scrolling through the group chat when someone called him. "Hello?"

A middle-aged man's voice came through the phone: "Duyago?"

Jiang Jin paused for a moment before replying, "It's me."

"Did you get the mission briefing? The announcement is at 10 AM the day after tomorrow at Full Heaven." After saying that, the other party hung up the phone without waiting for his reply.

Jiang Jin thought for a moment: "Full Heaven? So it's that Agave who blew himself up?"

[The Winery Family]

Jinjiang: "My colleague just called. It's not the Tropical Paradise mission, it's the Tequila mission."

Lu Renjia: "Oh, that tequila that killed itself with its own stupidity... I mean, the one that blew itself up?"

Long Tao: "This mission is quite simple. Xiao Jin just needs to be careful not to get blown up."

Song Rentou: "That tequila was indeed genuine, it's just a bit unlucky."

……

Jiang Jin looked at the group messages and thought to himself, "It's a bit stupid, but as a hater, isn't it inappropriate to watch him go to his death?"

Two days later, Jiang Jin, dressed in black, walked silently to the press conference venue. According to the mission plan, Tequila was responsible for retrieving the box containing the traded goods.

After Tequila took the box, Jiang Jin was responsible for replacing it with the box containing the money.

[The Winery Family]

Lu Renjia: "I'm slacking off at work, and I'm really curious about what's going on with Xiao Jin."

Long Tao: "Why can't we do a live stream?"

Bu Xuexi: "I can make a miniature camera in a week. @Jinjiang, give me your address and I'll send it to you later."

She Chu: "Work is garbage!"

Jiang Jin got bored waiting, so he took out his phone to check the group chat. After replying to a few messages, Tequila sent him a message asking him to meet her in the bathroom.

"Why go anywhere but the toilet? You're afraid people won't think you're weird." Jiang Jin carried his suitcase and walked towards the bathroom. Tequila was standing at the bathroom door; the burly man had a long beard.

Tequila was somewhat displeased by the unexpected appearance of another person. He naturally felt that he could do the task himself, so why go to all this trouble? He had even heard that the person was a newcomer who had only recently received a codename.

"You're Duyago?" Tequila sized Jiang Jin up and down. He wasn't short, had short silver hair, and a cold, aloof face. Tequila thought disdainfully, "Isn't this just a pretty boy?"

Jiang Jin nodded, glancing at the box in Tequila's hand. Yes, it was the box containing the bomb.

“You took the wrong suitcase,” Jiang Jin said.

Tequila's expression darkened: "What are you talking about?"

Jiang Jin looked at the tequila, his dark red pupils staring at him emotionlessly, and said, word by word, "I said you took the wrong box."

"Tch, kid, what are you talking about?" Tequila found the newcomer inexplicable.

Jiang Jin felt helpless. According to the plan, he and Tequila were going to go to the bar in the Big Black Building to find Gin after he got the suitcase.

He didn't want to be blown up along with Tequila.

"There's a bomb in this box. Someone's going to kill someone here tonight. Go and switch it right away. The box you're trading is number 97," Jiang Jin said to Tequila. Tequila hesitated, "How did you know?"

“I have my own methods.” Jiang Jin stood a little further away from the tequila. “You’d better hurry up, after all, I don’t know when the bomb inside will explode. If you die, don’t let it affect me.”

Tequila scoffed, but seeing how certain the other party was, he dared not gamble. This newcomer was never one to joke about missions; if something went wrong, Gin would deal with him.

After Tequila left, Jiang Jin deliberately waited a while before walking out, and that's when he saw Conan sneaking around.

Hey, isn't this Xiao Ke?

Jiang Jin suddenly remembered what a friend in the group had said: killing the protagonist might allow him to go back. Well, that's not too difficult. Let's give it a try.

There aren't many people around at this time, so he can act quickly without anyone noticing.

Conan was originally following Tequila, but before he could get into the restroom, he almost bumped into Jiang Jin and had to hide outside again.

He met those dark red eyes and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, a sense of crisis rising to his head. Conan pretended to be calm and turned to walk towards the vending machine, pretending to buy a drink.

Jiang Jin walked towards Conan. He had brought a gun with him, equipped with a silencer. Almost forgot to mention, Jiang Jin's job before his transmigration was "helping humanity break free from the shackles of life"—in short, assassin.

Jiang Jin's business was doing very well before he traveled through time; otherwise, he wouldn't have felt so bad about the money in his bank account, which he had earned through hard work.

So what people in the group said about matching one's major to the job is not wrong.

"Shinichi Kudo." A chilling voice sounded from behind. With a gun pressed against the back of his head, Conan's heart pounded. He couldn't escape!

"Click!" The trigger was pulled, but Conan did not fall down. "Click-click!" The trigger was pulled twice more.

Jiang Jin himself seemed to have not expected this situation. He opened the magazine in bewilderment, only to find it was full of bullets. He had tested the gun yesterday; there couldn't be a problem!

Conan naturally realized that the other party's gun seemed to be malfunctioning. If they didn't run now, when would they?

The kid took off running. Jiang Jin's face darkened, and he raised his hand to fire, but the bullet still didn't go off. He immediately slid a knife out of his sleeve and gave chase.

Conan ran desperately into the crowd, but Jiang Jin chased after him from the restroom. Conan had already disappeared, so he gritted his teeth and had to give up for the time being.

[The Winery Family]

Jinjiang: "I just tried to kill Conan, but I failed."

Lu Renjia: "Brother, you are truly brave."

Long Tao: "I understand, I understand, everyone makes a mistake the first time they try."

Jinjiang: "This isn't my first time. This is what I do all the time. I actually... messed up. Something was stopping me. My gun wouldn't fire."

Song Rentou: "What do you do for a living, brother?"

Jinjiang: "Assassin, is there a problem? Otherwise, why would I be a hater?"

Long Tao: "That makes so much sense, I can't even refute it."

Bu Xuexi: "Is that the main point? The main point is that it seems like we have a protagonist's halo! We probably won't be able to go back anytime soon!"

"Hey, the items have been exchanged." Tequila's voice made Jiang Jin put away his phone. He looked annoyed as he picked up his suitcase, ready to exchange the money. Tequila thought Jiang Jin was giving him a hard time. "What kind of attitude is that!"

Meanwhile, Conan, who had just almost lost his life, returned to Ran with a pale face, his mind filled with the image of the young man in black holding a gun and calling out his name.

How could that person know his identity?! Have the organization already discovered him?! Conan's mind was in complete turmoil, and he had no time to think about what the organization was doing at the press conference.

"Conan, what's wrong? You look terrible."

Ran's voice brought Conan back to his senses. He managed a weak smile and said, "No, it's okay, Ran-neechan."

After changing the boxes, Jiang Jin and Tequila left the press conference and headed to the Big Black Building.

The car was parked at the Big Black Building, and the two took the elevator directly to the "Cocktail" bar on the top floor, where Gin and Vodka were sitting in a corner.

"We got the stuff." Tequila handed over the case, only to be met with the muzzle of Gin Beretta's gun, its dark green pupils coldly fixed on Tequila. "Why are you so late?"

Tequila's face paled, and she unconsciously turned to look at Jiang Jin, signaling with her eyes for him to help explain. This action also made Gin glance at Jiang Jin.

Jiang Jin was thrilled to see Gin in person. He was a Gen Z assassin, and Gin was his childhood idol!

Gin, of course, had never met Jiang Jin before. This member, codenamed Duyago, had only recently acquired his codename and had previously been an assassin for the organization. However, Gin had always held a fairly good impression of this member he had never met.

After all, the task hadn't gone wrong, so the model worker was quite satisfied.

"Um... Senior Agave took the wrong box, so I reminded him to exchange it, which caused a little delay."

After hearing this, Gin coldly replied, "Useless."

Tequila was furious. "I asked you to explain it like this? The more you explain, the worse it gets for me!"

Gin put away his gun, got up, and left. Vodka picked up his case and followed him, glancing at Jiang Jin as they passed by.

"You weren't doing this on purpose, were you?!" Tequila said angrily after Gin left. "Trying to mess with me in front of Gin!"

Jiang Jin looked completely innocent as he sat down on the sofa and beckoned to the waiter: "A Poison."

"Okay, sir."

"Senior Tequila, what do you mean by that?" Jiang Jin leaned back, took out his phone and faced Tequila. "If it weren't for me, you would be the protagonist of this news."

Tequila's eyes shifted to Jiang Jin's phone, where the news reported the explosion at the press conference. Attached was a photo of a box.

His face paled, but he ultimately said nothing and turned to leave. Jiang Jin shrugged, and the waiter brought him a dark cocktail. Jiang Jin took a sip; the taste was impactful, and its dark red color matched its name perfectly.

He calmly took out his phone and opened the group chat.

[The Winery Family]

Jinjiang: "Mission accomplished. Tequila didn't die, and I even saw Gin."

Lu Renjia: "I'm envious, I want to see the photos."

Long Tao: "Xiao Jin, look..."

Jinjiang: "I have social anxiety."

Bu Xuexi: "I don't believe you. By the way, everyone, let's all post a picture. In case we have a chance to meet."
