Transmigrated into Conan, his ability is Rhodes Island

"..." The phone rang for a long time before Gin finally answered. A muffled sound, like several gunshots, followed by a man's scream, could be heard.

"Ah, Gin, are you busy? This is Su Dai, can you hear me?" Akihara Kazumitsu leaned back in his chair, tilting it back and putting his feet on the table. He greeted Gin on the other end of the phone in a casual tone, like a familiar conversation.

System: Some people called others "Big Brother" before they received their code names, but after receiving them, they couldn't even be bothered to add a respectful address.

"...Su Dai, are you free?" Gin seemed to have delivered another blow, speaking coldly.

"Ahem, of course not. I just 'accidentally' browsed our organization's intranet and found a problem, let me tell you about it." Akihara deliberately emphasized the words "accidentally." He briefly explained the vulnerability of the organization's intranet to Gin in language that even a layman could understand, and finally stressed the consequences of ignoring it. "Once our organization's intranet is attacked, our internal personnel lists, important experimental data, and organizational operations could all be leaked."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, clearly indicating that he hadn't expected him to call about something like this. "Su Dai, so you hacked into the organization's internal network and then came here to boast about it. Are you tired of living?" Akihara Kazumitsu detected a hint of gritted teeth in Gin's tone.

"What do you mean by 'hacking in'? I was conducting a free security penetration test on our organization's internal network," Akihara said righteously. "Besides, I followed the rules very well; I didn't look at anything I shouldn't have. Our organization has a cybersecurity department, right? When I hacked... when I browsed the internal network, I didn't hide my IP address. If they're not just sitting around doing nothing, they'll obviously see that I didn't access any sensitive content. Of course, if they can't tell, I suggest you just fire them; you might as well hire me."

System: Some people have finally revealed their true intentions.

Before Gin could react, Akihara Kazumitsu continued his sales pitch. "I've already written a solution to the vulnerabilities in the organization's internal network, and it's already stored on a disk. Gin, when do you have time? I can send it to you, or you can give me an address and I'll mail it to you."

"Of course, this is not a long-term solution. Web vulnerabilities are constantly evolving, and without the support of a strong security team, the security of our organization's internal network cannot be guaranteed. Why don't you consider hiring me? I can provide a free security training session for our organization's staff."

Silence fell again on the other end. Akihara Kazuhiro wasn't in a hurry, patiently waiting for Gin's reply. After a long while, the other party finally spoke coldly: "Is this why you called?"

"Hehe, you noticed." Akihara gave an embarrassed, shy smile, then remembered that the other person couldn't see his performance, so he suppressed his smile. "The character I'm playing right now has asked a girl out to dinner, but all my money went to paying for that bottle of whiskey we ordered when we last met, so..."

Gin, on the other end of the phone, was beyond furious; his murderous intent was palpable even through the phone. But whether he had truly taken Akihara's earnest description to heart or genuinely realized the gravity of the situation, he forced back his anger and replied, "I'll arrange for my intelligence agents in Shizuoka Prefecture to retrieve the floppy disk..."

"Then, what about my salary?" Akihara blurted out.

"Go find the Ministry of Finance yourself!" The other end of the line slammed down.

"Sigh." Akihara heard the dial tone go dead, but his face showed no joy, only worry and regret. "Gin is staying up late again, smoking, sitting for long periods, and getting easily irritated. Traditional Chinese medicine in Yan country often says 'anger damages the liver.' I need to remind Gin to get his liver function tested sometime..."

"Don't you even know who angered him!" the system complained.

Not long after, Akihara received a text message on his phone, providing him with the intelligence agent's title and phone number, and not forgetting to include the contact information for the finance department. The message was signed "Vodka." Glancing at the intelligence agent's code name, "Bourbon," Akihara didn't focus on it. Instead, he smugly told the system, "Gin is still all bark and no bite."

The system was speechless. "Is it possible that this message was sent by Vodka?"

……

Vodka put down his phone, hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but speak up: "Brother, this kid obviously doesn't look right. Could he be a rat too?"

Gin sneered: "Those rats are trying to keep their heads down as if they're nothing, afraid of being exposed by me; Su Dai is afraid that others won't notice his abnormality. He's either an idiot or a madman."

……

Evening, outside an ordinary izakaya in Shizuoka Prefecture.

The person Gin called a madman looked up at the izakaya sign and confirmed that this was the meeting place he had arranged with Miyano Akemi.

"What are you spacing out for? Why aren't you going in?" the system asked curiously.

"You don't understand, hell is ahead!" Qiu Yuan said with a sour expression. Before leaving, he rummaged through the suitcase under the original owner's bed, finally picking out an outfit he was reasonably satisfied with, but the system commented that it had the aesthetics of a straight-laced engineering guy. At this moment, he missed Ms. Zilan, the head of the personnel department on his island, terribly. As a former editor of a fashion magazine in Columbia, she could even make Rhodes Island's purely functional uniforms look quite beautiful, so her aesthetic sense was naturally first-rate. Qiu Yuan lingered in the system shop for a long time, almost impulsively spending money to exchange for Zilan's skills... In the end, he just came wearing the casual white and black outfit he had chosen.

He pulled his wandering thoughts back and re-examined his current situation. Although he had maintained a sunny and cheerful demeanor since transmigrating (System: Who are you talking about?), it couldn't change the fact that he was a gloomy, hooded man before. Social events, a living hell, were nothing short of this. He had sacrificed too much for points.

He took a deep breath and pushed open the door, his face already bearing the innocent, naive smile of a college student.

"Sorry, sorry, am I late?"

The interior of the izakaya is simply yet elegantly decorated. Dark wood tables, chairs, and floors are complemented by warm yellow lighting, traditional neon decorations, and a mural depicting Mount Fuji, a symbol of Shizuoka Prefecture.

Inside, there were already three women and two men. The woman sitting at the very back had her long hair tied up and looked like she had just left work. She seemed to be the person in charge of the group, and was probably the friend Miyano Akemi had mentioned, Kasuya Mitsue. She was the first to speak, welcoming them, "No, you're the Akihara junior that Akemi mentioned, right?"

"Come sit here." Sitting opposite her was a white-collar worker who looked to be in his mid-twenties. He quickly stood up and greeted Qiu Yuan when she came in.

"Kawaii~" One of the two remaining girls huddled together looked up at Akihara, but as soon as their eyes met, she shyly lowered her head and whispered to the other.

Akihara: ...Thank you.

Akihara took her seat, and the group greeted each other and exchanged names. Contrary to popular belief, these matchmaking parties in Japan aren't considered arranged marriages. Attending them is about meeting potential partners, not marriage, which differs from arranged marriages. This method of meeting people is through introductions from friends or acquaintances, making it more casual and enjoyable, and therefore very popular. In the original work, the police academy group was also dragged to a matchmaking party by Kenji Hagiwara, making it a fairly common form of social interaction in Japan.

As more people arrived, Miyano Akemi sat down diagonally opposite Akihara and smiled at him. Including Akihara, there were four men and four women attending the event, sitting across from each other at a long table.

Once everyone had arrived, the two leaders instructed the staff to hand out the drinks to everyone in turn. Kasuya Mitsue was the first to raise her glass, and everyone else followed suit.

"Cheers~"
