Chapter 76 The Death of Hara Yoshiaki
Seeing Gin's expression, Hara Yoshiaki thought to himself, "Wow, that's awesome!"
Rye whisky is enough to scare Gin like this just by its name.
This is a sure win!
A sense of redemption, like emerging from the deep sea, began to spread in Hara Yoshiaki's heart.
"I am a rye whiskey man."
Gin stared at Hara Yoshiaki, unsure of what to say.
This was the first time he had ever seen someone so audacious.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind.
The code name "Rye Whiskey" was kept strictly confidential within the organization, and Hara Kaminari could never have known it on his own.
So there must have been someone who came into contact with him.
But who outsiders know the alias of Shuichi Akai?
Akemi Miyano is dead.
Sherry is on the run and her whereabouts are unknown.
Shuichi Akai himself fled back to the United States.
Who else?
Gin thought about it carefully but couldn't find any more suitable candidates.
So now it's a choice between the two.
No, not necessarily. After all, there's a possibility that Sherry and Shuichi Akai could team up.
Having escaped the organization, Shirley had almost nowhere to go, so seeking refuge with her brother-in-law was quite reasonable.
If it was Shuichi Akai who made the move, then Sherry's disappearance from the gas chamber would no longer be an unsolved mystery.
Although Gin really wanted to kill Shuichi Akai, he also acknowledged the latter's abilities.
Although it seems impossible for Sherry to disappear into thin air, he would believe it if it was Shuichi Akai who did it.
Hara Yoshiaki then spoke up again: "Gin, you'd better think carefully before you kill me. Some things, once done, can't be undone."
"Now, on behalf of rye whisky, I would like to convey a message to you."
As he spoke, he straightened his clothes and back, just like an envoy.
“Rye Whiskey already knows what you’ve done. We’re colleagues, and he doesn’t want things to get too tense. He wants to talk to you face to face.”
Gin remained silent.
These words sound so strange.
As colleagues, what kind of outrageous joke is this?
Does this mean that Shuichi Akai has completely tracked my whereabouts and is preparing to arrest me again?
But going to such lengths is not Shuichi Akai's style.
In Gin's view, Hara Yoshiaki seemed to have lost his mind, his contradictions were beyond measure.
It seems that Shuichi Akai is using his old identity to extract information from him.
He didn't move the gun, but just sneered: "Since you're with Rye Whiskey, did he tell you about our relationship?"
Hara Yoshiaki knew he couldn't show weakness, "Of course he told me, he's been watching your every move."
"Oh?" Gin's index finger braced itself. "Did you hand over the stolen organizational data to him?"
Hara Yoshiaki snorted, "This is my pledge of allegiance, but I haven't had a chance to give it to him yet. I've been a bit busy lately."
That's it.
Gin's murderous intent suddenly surfaced. "One last question. Didn't you want to meet and talk? Where is he?"
Hara Yoshiaki suddenly realized something was wrong; the feeling of being enveloped by murderous intent was very ominous.
He took two steps back, his voice trembling again, "Hey, hey, hey, I'm the messenger between you two, what are you going to do to me?"
Gin looked at him coldly, "Tell me everything between you, or I'll kill you right now."
Hara Yoshiaki swallowed hard.
He was a traitor to begin with, and he has no psychological burden to continue being a traitor; he even wants to be a double agent.
In just two minutes, Hara Yoshiaki told Gin about all his conversations with the rye whiskey.
However, he omitted the details about the USB drive, emphasizing that one must reveal only half of what one is saying at once.
Otherwise, if Gin insists on killing him later, wouldn't all he have left to say begging for mercy?
The right approach is to put pressure on gin through rye whiskey!
"He actually wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of you and take over." Hara Yoshiaki was trying hard to survive.
Gin patiently reset his mind, "So, where is he?"
Overwhelmed by the immense terror of death, Yuan Jiaming collapsed to his knees with a thud. "He was in this building, disguised as a security guard. I saw him about half an hour ago."
call out--
The silenced bullet pierced his brain, and Hara Yoshiaki's horrified eyes lost their light as he collapsed to one side.
Gin put away his gun; he already knew the information he needed to know.
Knowing that the person resembling Shuichi Akai was in the building, there was no need to keep Yoshiaki Hara fishing.
In his view, the other party was just using Hara Yoshiaki as a pawn, using various tricks to obtain information, but only Hara Yoshiaki himself took it seriously.
Eliminating him now will also completely prevent the organization's intelligence from being handed over to the other side.
"Knowing Shuichi Akai's codename, knowing that Yoshiaki Hara was a member of the organization, and knowing that he betrayed the organization and stole the data."
Who could it be?
Given Shuichi Akai's personality, he would never do such a thing.
In Gin's view, if it really is Shuichi Akai, then knowing that Yoshiaki Hara has betrayed the organization, he would definitely reveal his FBI identity and then use the witness protection program to obtain information.
But what if we add Sulli to the mix?
Sulli now probably only feels hatred towards the organization and towards herself.
Using Hara Yoshiaki to find her whereabouts and then having Akai Shuichi capture her aligns with Sherry's interests.
Shuichi Akai feels guilty towards Sherry, and it's quite possible that he will accommodate her.
Gin went downstairs while pondering, and quickly returned to his car.
A faint smell of blood still lingers inside the Porsche 356A – the residue from vodka.
Suddenly, Gin turned his head to look at the twin skyscrapers and revealed a sinister smile.
"Shirley, you really have a lot of help around you now."
"The sniper from the night before last was Shuichi Akai, so who is the other woman?"
"But in any case, there must be something you want in this building."
"Yuan Jiaming is dead. Two brutes can't do the job of stealing data. You should go to the main computer room on the 40th floor yourself."
The bomb can be detonated now, but at most it will only kill one person who resembles Shuichi Akai.
Then let's wait a bit longer and wait for an opportunity to wipe you all out in one fell swoop.
Gin flicked out a cigarette and lit it.
"Ah—Shirley, I can already see your miserable death."
The Porsche 356A drove away, leaving behind trails of smoke.
No sooner had they left than Conan chased after them downstairs.
"hateful!"
Conan regretted not having two more legs, as Gin had managed to escape like that.
But there are still clues!
Mr. Hara Yoshiaki has connections with the organization; finding him will definitely be fruitful!
Conan quickly adjusted his breathing and rushed back into the building.
Can......
"What?! Mr. Yuan is dead???"
Upon hearing the news, Kogoro Mouri was in a panic and hurriedly led Inspector Megure and the others to the scene.
Upon seeing Hara Yoshiaki's body, Tokiwa Mio nearly collapsed, but Lin Che caught her in time.
"Kid! What's going on?!" Kogoro Mouri grabbed Conan by the collar and lifted him up.
Conan wasn't as talkative as before this time, and he stammered, not knowing what to say.
"Dad!" Ran Mouri cried out in distress for her son, quickly pulling Conan to his feet. "Conan is just a child, how could he possibly know that!"
The bumbling detective sighed sullenly, "Alright, alright, you guys get out of here. Inspector Megure, let's do a preliminary investigation first."
Lin Che helped the weak and powerless Tokiwa Mio leave the scene first.
Although she's past her prime, wealthy people really know how to take good care of themselves.
But Lin Che has no interest in appreciating the rich woman's looks and figure right now.
It was quite unexpected that Gin would chase after Hara Yoshiaki and kill him.
There's absolutely no chance of finding Gin's location now.
What about the information I need?
Should we take Ai Haibara to the main computer room to copy it?
With so many documents, only Ai Haibara could distinguish which ones belonged to the organization.
There are also hidden tasks related to organizing USB drives.
The groundwork had already been laid, so that at their next meeting, Yuan Jiaming would unlock the USB drive and hand over the stolen data.
Unexpectedly, the final jerk resulted in nothing.
However, this hidden quest did not immediately show as a failure like the previous antique vase transaction, indicating that there is still a chance.
Chapter 77 Suspicious Father and Daughter
Where is the turning point?
Of all the people Lin Che knew, only Yuan Jiaming had the ability to crack the USB drive.
Should we continue searching for ways to crack the USB drive?
Lin Che was considering whether he should go to Yuan Jiaming's house as soon as possible, but unfortunately he had no idea where the other party lived.
Gin struck first, and by the time he got there, Hara Yoshiaki's house would probably have been blown to smithereens.
Where else?
Lin Che lowered his eyes and saw Tokiwa Mio's snow-white chest, then his eyes lit up.
Hara Yoshiaki even has an office here!
Even if the computers in the office aren't up to par, there's still the Tokiwa Foundation's main computer.
There's bound to be one that works.
We need to act fast!
Lin Che could no longer hide his identity.
Seeing that Ai Haibara had returned with Professor Agasa and the others, he immediately took out his phone and sent an email to ask if she had brought the USB drive with her.
