Underground organizations should act like underground organizations. Indiscriminate killing in the streets is something only terrorists do!
Conan felt an urge to call the police, and knowing he couldn't stay in the car any longer, he quickly used chewing gum to hide the listening device, then ran away with Ai Haibara.
Gin's shooting spree took up a lot of time, and his own car was almost hit by the startled vehicles.
"footprint."
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and Gin walked over and immediately saw the footprints left by Conan and the other person.
Vodka was still quite anxious. "They look like two little kids. They probably haven't seen your car before, so they came over out of curiosity and were scared away by the gunshots earlier."
"Brother, the police will probably be here soon, let's hurry up and leave."
Gin thought Vodka's words made sense this time, so he opened the car door and got in.
"Let's go straight to the Beihu Central Hotel. Pisco's preparations should be almost complete."
In the alley not far away, the yellow Beetle was parked there peacefully, but the engine was not turned off. Professor Agasa was ready to step on the gas and drive away at any time.
Conan, with a serious expression, pressed his earpiece. "Haibara, do you know Pisco?"
Ai Haibara paused for a moment, "I've heard of you, but I've never seen you in person. Is something wrong?"
While eavesdropping, Conan repeated, "Doctor, I'll give you directions. Follow me from a distance first, and if that doesn't work, just go directly to the Beika Central Hotel."
The eavesdropping device and the transmitter are integrated, and his glasses can locate and track in real time.
Before the car had gone very far, Conan's expression suddenly darkened.
"Haibara, what exactly is your relationship with Gin?"
The little girl looked completely bewildered. "It's nothing, why do you ask?"
Conan paused to gather his thoughts, then said with a complicated expression, "Gin just discovered your hair and immediately deduced that you had been in his car. He's now looking for a bugging device."
"In addition, he also said..."
Ai Haibara was getting impatient. "What did he say? Tell me quickly!"
He said, "I never expected such a pleasant surprise! I've finally found you, ah—Sherry!"
Conan's expression darkened after he finished speaking, and he took off his earphones. "The bugging device has been found."
That's way too fast; I only heard two sentences in total.
Fortunately, both sentences revealed key information.
"Doctor, go directly to the Beika Central Hotel. Take a different route; it'll be faster."
"You can't go, Edogawa. Do you know what you're doing? Gin already anticipated that I would go!"
Despite her embarrassment, Ai Haibara tried her best to dissuade him.
But Conan insisted on his own idea, "Doctor, you take Haibara home first, I'll go alone."
Dr. Agasa was unsure of whom to listen to.
Ai Haibara stared at Conan for a while, feeling both helpless and angry. "What are you going to do over there? Call the police to arrest them?"
Conan chuckled.
"Gin said that Pisco was preparing something at the hotel, which probably wasn't organizing a meal but killing someone."
“I was unaware of what happened at the Twin Towers last time, which allowed them to kill Mr. Hara Yoshiaki.”
"Now that I know their goal, of course I have to go and stop them."
He looked out the car window at the falling snowflakes.
"Besides, it's rare to have the opportunity to track their movements. Even if I can't catch them, I have to find a way to get my hands on that drug!"
“When I was drugged, Gin was just making a deal with someone casually, which means he probably carries APTX-4869 with him.”
"If you could get your hands on that medicine, you'd probably be able to develop the antidote much more easily, right?"
Recalling the scene where Kaito Kid disguised himself as him to comfort Ran, Conan couldn't help but clench his fists.
He wouldn't let Ran Mouri cry if he could return to his original body.
Now even Ai Haibara was starting to waver.
If she could obtain the original medicine, and combine it with the drug information she had previously obtained from Lin Che, she could indeed speed up the production of the antidote.
Once she gets rid of this body, there will be many more things she can do.
Then...should we go and take a look?
Ai Haibara suddenly thought of Lin Che.
Lin Che's two encounters with the organization did indeed diminish the fear of Gin in the little girl's heart.
After all, Lin Che blew up Gin's car in their first encounter, and in their second encounter, he simply seized Gin's hat.
These seemingly unbelievable stories are actually supported by facts.
At this moment, Conan suddenly spoke up:
"Oh, right, why don't we send a message to Mr. Lin as well?"
"Last time we were too passive and he deserted. This time we are in control, so he can't keep deserting."
Conan and Lin Che's friendship was based on their "anti-organization".
Now that he has another chance, he wants to see if Lin Che is really willing to fight against the organization.
If Lin Che refuses again, then he will have to re-evaluate this person.
Without even needing Ai Haibara's consent, Conan directly called Lin Che.
Chapter 110 Memorial Service, Three Unmaskings
The call was answered quickly.
Conan got straight to the point and recounted what had happened, then immediately invited Lin Che over.
"No problem, you guys go first, I'll be there shortly." Lin Che's voice was slightly low due to the cold wind.
Conan frowned. "Really? Don't run away again."
It is located in a high-rise building about 200 meters away from the Beihu Central Hotel.
Lin Che stood by the railing, exhaling white breath, "What if the situation is extremely dangerous, and you can't win a fight, are you just going to stay there and wait to die instead of running away?"
"Don't worry, I'll be there soon. Is Ai with you?"
"Okay, I'll talk to you later."
He hung up the phone and continued to observe from a distance through the sniper scope.
The sniper scope can be detached and used as a telescope, and the X-ray vision effect of [Detective Instinct] can be extended further with the aid of the scope.
Lin Che was looking for the wine cellar he remembered.
He had many objectives in this operation.
1. Obtain extra reward and clues about the armory from Shigehiko Tobuchi.
2. Unmask Pisco and Vermouth. Make sure to kill Pisco, and try again to find an opportunity to kill Gin. If you have the chance to kill Vermouth, take her down as well.
3. Based on point 2, let Ai Haibara be captured by Pisco and set up the ambush location in the wine cellar.
4. Obtain the organization computer used by Pisco in the wine cellar and completely unlock the organization USB drive containing a large amount of data.
The above arrangements are contingent on Lin Che first finding out where the wine cellar is; otherwise, the plan will have to be drastically revised.
However, he didn't expect Conan to call him on his own initiative.
Isn't this kid always someone who believes in relying on himself for everything?
Conan doesn't even want his own parents' help, but now he's thinking of him.
"I guess they're not satisfied with my desertion last time and want to test me again," Lin Che muttered to himself. "But how many people did Gin send this time?"
We haven't found the wine cellar yet, but we've seen a lot of people from the Mud Ginseng Association, totaling nearly a hundred.
Aside from the people attending the meeting, there were also quite a few peripheral members of the organization lurking in the shadows.
So many people were loitering in the streets and alleys around the hotel, and cars were parked on two whole streets.
Lin Che was considering whether or not to use [Puramia's Wrath] directly.
But then he thought, these small fry with their crappy little pistols couldn't even break his defenses, so there didn't seem to be much point in bringing Lissall over.
The sky was already dark, the snow covered the ground, and it was almost time.
One after another, a number of luxury cars drove into the Beihu Central Hotel, and all the people who got out of the cars were social celebrities.
There was not only a red carpet in front of the hotel, but also a large number of reporters. If you didn't know better, you would think that a press conference was being held here.
Lin Che didn't care about these people. After his gaze had been moving around for a long time, he finally locked onto the location of the wine cellar.
Despite the fact that he was unable to be in two places at once during this operation, he was unable to both keep close contact with Pisco inside the stadium and set up a sniper lock on Gin outside the stadium.
However, he can move quickly by taking advantage of time differences and the convenience of spider webs, and as long as there is a suitable high point, the sniper rifle is not entirely useless.
Lin Che moved closer to the wine cellar.
Meanwhile, Conan and Ai Haibara sneaked into the hotel.
Running around as a child is incredibly easy for Conan, who is quite used to it.
Conan paced along the wall. "Everyone was wearing black at the memorial service, so there's no way to tell who the organization members are by color now."
Ai Haibara has arrived, but she's still somewhat afraid. "I haven't sensed any members of the organization yet, wait..."
She suddenly noticed the older man being interviewed in the distance. "Tomoguchi Shigehiko, why is he here?"
Conan asked in confusion, "What's wrong? I remember this person is a politician who is embroiled in a bribery scandal. It's not surprising that he's here."
As he spoke, he suddenly realized, "Could the person Gin wants to assassinate be him? The others have no connection with the police, and for the organization, there is no reason for them to die."
"On the contrary, this politician has been making headlines lately. If he has been in contact with the organization like Mr. Hara, Gin is worried that he might leak the organization's existence to the police, and there is indeed a possibility that he might carry out an assassination."
Conan then turned his attention back to Ai Haibara, "And then what? What did you mean just now?"
After thinking for a moment, the little girl said, "I saw the news about him being investigated by the police before, and I thought he would lose his freedom, but I didn't expect that he has already escaped control."
Actually, Lin Che had asked her to investigate Tonguchi Shigehiko a few days ago, but Lin Che quickly said there was no need to investigate, so she paid extra attention to this person.
If, as Conan says, Shigehiko Tobuchi is indeed the person the organization wants to assassinate, then Lin Che might have already identified the organization's operation several days ago.
It was like this in the Twin Towers skyscraper, and it's like this now. Her Mr. Lin really does have some very special intelligence channels.
Ai Haibara thought about many things for a while.
When she came to her senses, she realized that Conan had already gone far away.
It was with that glance that Lin Che's figure came into her view.
Ai Haibara had already seen Lin Che's disguised face as Li Rusong back when they were in the Twin Towers skyscraper.
He used this face to lead Ai Haibara to copy the data. Later, when he wanted to change his face and hide again, he was spotted by Inspector Megure and others. He had no choice but to participate in the follow-up under his real identity and became a "deserter".
Really hammered.
As Ai Haibara watched Lin Che walk toward Shigehiko Tobuchi, all her previous guesses were confirmed.
Lin Che's appearance made her feel relaxed and exceptionally safe.
"What are you standing there for?" Conan turned back and, as usual, followed Ai Haibara's gaze.
But he could only see Lin Che's back now; otherwise, he would have immediately recognized him as the mysterious security guard who had gone to get water in the Twin Towers skyscraper and never returned.
Conan looked away. "Your performance today was quite unexpected. You were so scared on the way here, but now you're getting better and better."
There were many people around, but Lin Che was nowhere to be seen; only a group of men in black were visible.
Ai Haibara's expression softened, "Because I suddenly felt courage and strength."
Conan poked out a question mark.
What are all these weird things?
He pouted and said speechlessly, "Since you already have the courage and strength, then you should try to find someone yourself first. I'll go make a phone call."
"Call Mr. Lin?"
