Chapter 96 New Organizational Trends
Swallowing a heavy tongue?
Lin Che had a pretty good impression of this name.
It seems to be related to the scene where Ai Haibara was blocked by Gin's chimney, which also involves Pisco and Vermouth's first appearance.
If all goes well, Lin Che should be able to get at least two reveal rewards and one kill reward this time.
But he wasn't sure if Gin and Vodka would come this time.
Gin was shot several times and needs to rest and recuperate.
Vodka is in an even worse situation, missing an arm and a leg. It would be an injustice if he were still alive and kicking.
Lin Che no longer cared why the target of this mission was Tonguchi Shigehiko.
His core objective is simple: to complete the game by following the events and then enjoy life.
Crafting equipment, exploring maps, and leveling up to the maximum level can all be done in the future when you're "retiring" (i.e., enjoying a more relaxed lifestyle).
Since we'll inevitably become involved with the organization no matter what, and it's always circling back to the "main storyline," let's get to the main storyline first.
Lin Che stroked Lisa's smooth right shoulder. "You've accepted this mission, and you'll handle everything yourself?"
Lissell nodded. "I can't make a move anytime soon; it would be too troublesome, unless..."
She cupped Lin Che's face in her hands and leaned closer, her voice gentle, "Are you willing to be my fiancé and provide me with a safe and reliable living environment?"
That won't work.
A married woman can only belong to someone else, not to oneself.
Lin Che refused outright, "What safety and reliability can a desperate criminal like me talk about? Although I don't know what kind of past you have, you'll definitely be exposed if you work with me a few more times."
"Let's discuss this after you've finished that big thing you want to do."
Lisael is clearly hiding in the shadows, yet she tirelessly continues to create unique bombs. In the world of Detective Conan, it would be unbelievable to say that she doesn't have some earth-shattering plan.
Lissell thought he made sense, so she invited him to stay a little longer before her fiancé got off work and came home.
This was extremely difficult.
Lin Che had only taken a few steps from the apartment when he saw a burly, imposing man with a mysteriously gentle smile on his face walking towards him.
The other person was also holding a bouquet of flowers.
run.
Lin Che got into his F-car and sped away, an action that attracted the attention of the other party.
Lisael's fiancé, a retired criminal police officer, instinctively sensed something was wrong, but he only stood there on the roadside for a few minutes before going home.
Upon entering the house, he saw that Lissal looked like she had just taken a shower, and all the windows were wide open. He quickly put down the flowers and went to close the windows, his tone reproachful yet gentle: "It's windy outside. You'll catch a cold if you take a shower without closing the windows."
......
organizational base.
"Tap—tap—tap."
The color scheme was dark, but the faint reflection from the metal wall still illuminated the woman's golden hair in the corridor.
The door opens.
The woman stood at the doorway with one hand on her hip, like a supermodel after a fashion show, her long, flowing hair tucked behind her ear with her fingers.
Her blue eyes held a strong hint of teasing. "This seems to be the first time you've ever looked this disheveled, Gin?"
The lights suddenly turned on.
Gin, lying on the sofa, had only cold eyes. "Vermouth, do what I told you to do as soon as possible."
Today, Vermouth was not wearing her usual black leather jacket or combat suit, but rather a simple black and purple tuxedo.
She was wearing red-soled black high heels, as if she had just attended an important banquet.
She took a few steps forward, bent down and chuckled, "I'm doing it, I've already contacted Pisco by phone."
She licked her lips, her voice becoming seductive, "You're so badly injured, how about a martini to ease the pain?"
Gin showed no desire for beautiful women, only regret that his work efficiency had been hampered.
He sat up straight with a light movement. "There's still some time before the official operation. Focus on investigating that person named Lin Che these days and find him as soon as possible."
Vermouth rolled her eyes at the clueless Gin, then casually gathered her skirt and sat down a short distance away. "You weren't in a hurry before, but you are now? What's the reason?"
Gin remained silent for a moment.
At first, he didn't take Lin Che seriously.
He was very busy during the time the USB drive was stolen, and the USB drive was protected by the Dark Baron virus, so it was impossible for a street thug to obtain any organizational information from it.
So Gin just asked Vodka to spare some time to handle this matter; if they could find it, great, if not, it wouldn't matter much.
But after returning from the Twin Towers, he broadened his thinking considerably and reviewed many things from before, including the man he had encountered outside the neighborhood where Akemi Miyano lived.
By combining his memory with the personal information about Lin Che provided by the Mud Ginseng Association, Gin suddenly realized that the man was highly similar to Lin Che in physique.
Whether it's a hood or a mask, at least in Gin's eyes right now, they're practically useless.
Every detail matched up, and he was almost certain that the man was indeed Lin Che.
He failed to catch Sherry in Nishitama City, and he currently suspects Binga is the mastermind behind it all.
But the Shirley he longed for might be hidden behind this man named Lin Che!
This gave Gin a feeling of going around in circles and finally returning to the starting point, along with a sense of resentment at making a careless mistake.
In addition to the connection between the USB drive and Yuan Jiaming, he also had some other guesses brewing in his mind, but these guesses were really hard to define.
Gin then discovered that the key to solving the two problems that were troubling him was actually the street thugs he had initially taken for granted.
Although Gin had originally planned to give Vermouth something to do, intending to have her find Lin Che to retrieve the USB drive.
But now, he has raised the level of this task and the intensity of its execution to a very high degree.
After a moment's thought, Gin picked out the most important points to discuss.
Vermouth's expression was visibly shocked upon hearing this. "Sherry actually got together with a street thug?!"
Her eyes narrowed, a murderous intent spreading within them. "This is getting interesting."
Gin tapped his finger on the table in time. "I want them alive, whether it's Lin Che or Sherry."
Vermouth snorted coldly and did not respond.
After a few breaths, she stood up and said, "I understand. The other person who will temporarily replace Vodka and Chianti is already in this base."
"To be honest, I think she's better suited to do the things you asked her to do. If you regret it later, remember to email me."
Vermouth didn't want to stay any longer. Her main goal in returning to the United States was neither a vacation nor Sherry, but her beloved Shinichi Kudo.
Shinichi Kudo's name appeared on the list of drugs.
However, when she turned her attention to the investigation, she found no news reports about his death, and even the Kudo couple, who were far away in the United States, did not make any move.
Seeing that Shinichi Kudo seemed to have vanished into thin air, she decided to take a vacation and return to Japan to see what was going on with her godson.
Only after confirming Shinichi Kudo's situation will she focus all her energy on finding Sherry.
After Vermouth left, new footsteps soon began to sound.
The newcomer had medium-length silver-white hair, beneath which were stunning heterochromatic eyes.
The woman stood respectfully at the door: "By order of the organization, Curaçao is temporarily operating within the Tokyo area. Are there any specific mission instructions at present?"
Chapter 97 Shigehiko Tobuchi's Actual Goal
Curaçao?
Gin was quite surprised this time.
After all, Curaçao was a trusted confidant of Rum and would not be easily sent out to assist the other members in their actions.
It was just the death of Chianti, yet that person managed to persuade Rum to arrange for Curaçao to come over.
Is this right?
Gin felt this was very wrong.
But then he thought about Binga, Rum No. 3's confidant, whose position was below Curaçao, and he felt that there was some truth to it.
Perhaps after I reported what happened in Nishitama City, that person also became suspicious of Binga.
While bringing Curaçao over for a covert investigation, it would also allow them to observe Binga's reaction to these changes.
Gin nodded to Curaçao, "I know you are very capable. I don't have anything special to assign you for now, but I'll let you know if there are any plans."
Curaçao's expression was cold, as if she had no emotions at all, especially her transparent eyes, which seemed empty and devoid of anything just by looking at them.
After hearing Gin's words, she simply bowed slightly and left.
When Rum suddenly transferred her to Tokyo, Japan, she was given only one task: to investigate the organization's undercover agents.
The activities in conjunction with Gin are just an add-on.
The main reason for investigating the undercover agent is that Gin's experience in Nishitama City was too bizarre.
It's not really reasonable to say that Binga did all of these things.
Rum believed there were only two possible scenarios.
1. Binga's plan was so meticulous and powerful that it completely deceived him.
2. Among the organization's members within Japan, there have been undercover agents of varying ranks and influence, who have been hiding among the members of the Gin organization in its recent activities.
The first scenario is highly unlikely; Rum is confident in his abilities.
In order to find out the truth, Rum initially wanted to send Bourbon over.
But Bourbon was mysterious and wouldn't listen to his own words, and the situation was quite urgent, so Curaçao was sent to replace him.
......
The streets of Tokyo.
Lin Che was driving around aimlessly in his F-car.
According to Lisa, the commission to protect Shigehiko Tōguchi has been secured, and they are currently discussing the next steps.
Once the procedures are finalized, Lin Che will be arranged to meet with the target.
Because the mission was urgent and shouldn't take long, Lin Che simply didn't go home, to avoid having to go out again as soon as he lay down.
"The number of people attending the Mud Ginseng Association is really increasing."
Lin Che observed the pedestrians on both sides of the road. The mud-collecting groups that ordinary people would avoid were present on almost every street. He always felt that they were casting a wide net to find him.
I had previously said I would slaughter all the high-ranking members of the Mud Ginseng Association, but one task after another came up, and I just couldn't spare the time.
Ai Haibara hasn't let her guard down during this time; she has already located the residences of two high-ranking members of the Mud Association.
Before heading to Nishitama City, Lin Che's plan was to find all the targets first and then eliminate them all overnight.
This way, you can leave immediately after finishing the job without worrying about anyone running away or having to deal with the aftermath.
But now his thinking is changing a bit.
If we take out these two people first, we might be able to attract the organization's attention by using the identity of "Lin Che".
Things are different now. Lin Che is no longer afraid of a direct confrontation with the organization. If all else fails, he can force Lisael to help him.
Unfortunately, they have a mission to complete, which is also related to the organization, so it seems unnecessary for them to take action against the Mud Gathering Association at this time.
After a few moments of thought, Lisael's message finally arrived.
The content is very brief, just an address.
Lin Che arrived at the destination in no time.
In a daze, he recalled the time he went to see Inui Shoichi before.
However, as a member of parliament, Shigehiko Toguchi's residence is just an ordinary two-story apartment building, but the flowers and plants in the yard are quite tasteful.
Before long, Lin Che successfully met with Tonguchi Shigehiko.
