Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1435 Search
Kudo Shinichi!

When she heard Bourbon on the other side say this name calmly, Vermouth's pupils suddenly contracted, and a hint of fear instantly appeared on her expression.

Kudo Shinichi is the real cool guy!
Why did Rum want to investigate Kudo Shinichi?

Could it be that he already knows the true identity of cool guy?
Vermouth had a very bad feeling in her heart, but in order to deal with Bourbon, she still pretended to be calm and asked, "So how is your investigation going?"

Amuro Toru here just casually mentioned it in response to Vermouth's question, but he didn't expect Vermouth to ask him further, so he asked back: "Why? Do you care?"

"No, just asking..."

Vermouth is not frank, and she can't be frank.

And it was impossible for Toru Amuro to completely betray the landlord of the house where he lived, so he perfunctorily said: "The high school student detective seemed to be quite famous and a popular figure in front of the police, but he suddenly disappeared some time ago..."

"So at the moment I'm just looking up the basic information that's relatively easy to find."

Vermouth was slightly relieved to hear that Toru Amuro had not made any progress on this matter.

"Well, if there's nothing else, let's end it."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Toru Amuro edited a text message with one hand while controlling the steering wheel.

【Curaçao, Rum’s Confidant】

Sent to: Qin Zhibo.

At the same time, Vermouth, who was sitting on the chair, fell into a sleepless state.

A phone call from Toru Amuro not only disturbed her sweet dream, but also made her inadvertently know that Rum suddenly began to care about Kudo Shinichi.

As the second-in-command of the organization, Rum would not suddenly investigate Kudo Shinichi for no reason.

Why?
In the dim room, that cold and handsome face looked extremely serious.

Suddenly, Vermouth's eyes changed slightly, and there was a hint of realization in her expression.

Could it be that when the Irish undercover agent entered the Metropolitan Police Department to investigate a few days ago, he discovered something unexpected?

As a member of the organization's undercover list recovery program, Belmode was well aware of Ireland's undercover program.

In compliance with the instructions of "that Lord", she provided Ireland with all possible support.

But the mission ultimately failed.

In order to avoid the organization's affairs from being exposed, Ireland was dealt with urgently.

Fortunately, the police did not catch the murderer and did not get the crucial memory card.

But "that adult" said that there was something fishy about this matter and he would not send anyone to recover the memory card, but would think of other ways to deal with the matter.

Vermouth was not quite sure about the judgment of "that adult", but she had seen with her own eyes the famous detective Qin Zhibo appear near the underground parking lot of the Mika Shopping Mall.

At that time, she followed Ireland's instructions and went to the Beika Shopping Center in advance to wait for Minoru Fukase to appear, and managed to take him away from the police.

But just when her plan was about to succeed, it was interrupted by an unknown person who suddenly appeared.

The other party intercepted her and took away Minoru Fukase's backpack.

After the mission failed, Vermouth left the mall through the main exit and waited on the street opposite the mall for the police to leave before entering the parking lot and driving her car out.

However, he encountered the famous detective Qin Zhibo, who had not been notified by the police, and he appeared near the scene of the incident.

This made Vermouth suspicious and he told Ireland about it.

Vermouth was not quite sure how Ireland handled the matter, but the end result was that Ireland was given emergency treatment because his identity was exposed and died in Tokyo Tower.

If Ireland had listened to his suspicions and started an investigation, and found Conan from the famous detective...

Vermouth, who often pays attention to the active performance of her "godson", knows that the famous detective Qin Zhibo and Conan are usually very close.

It is also possible that someone in the Metropolitan Police Department leaked the news and revealed that Kudo Shinichi was still alive.

In fact, some people around Kudo Shinichi know that he is still alive.

In short, Ireland's level was not high enough to convey this message directly to "that Lord", and Rum was the highest level he could contact.

As a senior member of the organization, Rum naturally had to deal with it when he learned that the person the organization had assassinated was still alive.

And this task was given to Bourbon.

Vermouth sorted out this whole line of thought in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Now that she knows that her "godson" is being targeted by the second-in-command of the organization, as her "godmother", she must do something.

Direct reminder?

No.

Bourbon is one of the best intelligence experts in the organization. Once Cool Guy learns that he is being targeted and makes some extraordinary moves, the disturbance will definitely attract his attention.

And with his cool guy personality, he would definitely not choose to run away, but would take the initiative to attack.

Besides, now Rum only asks Bourbon to investigate the information of "Kudo Shinichi" instead of "Edogawa Conan".

This means that Rum has no way of confirming Kudo Shinichi's current identity.

In this situation, it is better to be still than to move.

So what about getting rid of Bourbon?
Although Bourbon is his partner, nothing can be abandoned for the safety of cool guy.

But after thinking about it for a while, Vermouth felt that it was not possible.

Now Bourbon is responsible for the task assigned by Rum, which is equivalent to "half of the emperor's errand".

If Bourbon was disposed of at this time, Rum would also suspect whether he had some ulterior motive.

In addition, Bourbon is his partner, someone he can talk to frequently, and he can find out the progress of his investigation at any time.

If Bourbon died and Rum replaced him with someone else to investigate the matter of "Kudo Shinichi", then he would be completely helpless.

For example, "Curaçao" and "Binga" are both top intelligence experts in the organization.

But these people are purely from Rum's side, and they will complete any task assigned by Rum unswervingly.

If these people were to investigate "Kudo Shinichi", he would neither be able to get a say nor have the opportunity to take any action.

Therefore, the best solution to this matter is to maintain the status quo.

Let Bourbon investigate "Kudo Shinichi" as long as he can't find out anything, then the case can be dragged on.

And once Bourbon gets close to the truth, he will take action to get rid of him if necessary.

In short, the true identity of the "godson" must never be discovered!
Just as Vermouth had been thinking hard for a long time and finally came up with a strategy to deal with the situation, the phone on the table suddenly rang again.

Vermouth frowned slightly, thinking it was Bourbon calling again.

But when the call was picked up, a voice completely different from Bourbon's came from the other end.

"Go to the Metropolitan Expressway Route 11 viaduct right now."

The voice on the other end of the phone was cold but with a hint of vicissitudes.

Vermouth looked slightly stunned, "What happened? Scotch."

"Curaçao had some accidents while on duty and is now missing."

"Lord Rum ordered us to find her as soon as possible..."

After listening to Scotch Whiskey's explanation on the phone, Vermouth was a little surprised.

Bourbon just called and mentioned something about Curacao. How come something happened in Curacao so soon?

"What mission is Curacao carrying out?" asked Vermouth.

"A list of personnel from an undercover organization that Curacao stole from the police department."

"However, she herself had an accident while being pursued by the police and her whereabouts are currently unknown."

List of undercover organizations?
Vermouth was shocked. Does the police department still have this kind of thing?
It turns out that not only does our side have an undercover list, but the other side also has one. "Got it, I'll be there right away."

beep.

Scotch Whiskey on the other end hung up the phone without a word.

But after hanging up the phone, Vermouth did not put on her clothes immediately, but frowned and continued to think.

Bourbon just called and mentioned Curacao, and then something happened in Curacao.

Could it be such a coincidence?

Although Bourbon said he was asking about the rumors about rum, from the results, it seems that he actually got information about Curacao.

"That adult" has a most classic teaching -

To judge a person's thoughts and feelings, do not look at what he says or what he does...

But look at what he got in the end.

If Bourbon's original purpose was to gather intelligence on Curacao, then why did he do it at this time?
Curacao had an accident after breaking into the police station, and his whereabouts are unknown now...

Is your name on the list of undercover organizations?
Bourbon...

……

On the way to Line 11 in the capital, several police cars were lined up in a line and racing on the road.

Qin Zhibo was sitting in the passenger seat of the second police car when his cell phone suddenly rang.

He took out his cell phone and checked it, and found that it was a text message from Toru Amuro.

【Curaçao, Rum’s Confidant】

After a little thought, Qin Zhibo realized that this should be the information that Toru Amuro had heard from the organization.

That person's code name is Curacao.

It seems that he is not an ordinary NOC, and is even the confidant of the second-in-command of the organization.

Then the necessity of catching this person is very great.

Not only can it prevent the undercover list from leaking out, but it can also obtain a lot of first-hand intelligence about the organization.

After a while, a team of police cars arrived at the bridge where the accident happened.

Before the public security convoy arrived, the Metropolitan Police Department's Third Investigation Division, which had received a call from the public, had already arrived.

But he was stopped by Yuya Kazami using his public security privileges.

After all, this matter involves the National Police Agency, and ordinary police officers cannot intervene without authorization.

In the bleak evening breeze, Qin Zhibo put his hands in his coat pockets and glanced at the situation at the scene.

Although he had not watched the on-site surveillance, he had already guessed what had happened from the broken fence on the bridge and the accident wreckage under the bridge.

Although the car driven by Curacao crashed through the viaduct and fell onto the bridge below, the vehicle was severely damaged, lost control, crashed through the roadside fence, and fell into the sea under the bridge.

Qin Zhibo walked to the gap in the fence at the edge of the bridge and looked at the dark sea below.

This is Tokyo Bay, the place where people often sink in movies.

But Curacao was a top agent and had enough reaction time from the time the vehicle lost control to the time it crashed off the bridge.

She should have taken advantage of the time when the car fell to get out of the car, jump into the sea, and swim out.

At this time, Feng Jianyuya came forward from behind and said, "I have asked the rescue team to come and salvage it..."

"That's not necessary."

Qin Zhibo shook his head and looked at the area around Tokyo Bay.

"Let's move all the people to the shore and start searching from there..."

There is a large warehouse area around Tokyo Bay. If Curacao swims ashore, it will come here first.

If Curacao falls into the water, the communication and signal equipment he carries with him will become unusable because they are soaked in water.

In this case, her accomplices would not know her exact location and would not be able to come to pick her up in a short time.

So there is a good chance that Curacao is still on the way.

But now some time has passed, and she may have left the warehouse area.

or……

Qin Zhibo tried to use the ID photo and the locating spell to search for Curacao's location.

But there was no result.

He looked towards the sea further away, where there was an artificial island emitting colorful beams of light.

I turned on the navigation system and found out that it was the Toudou Aquarium, a famous tourist attraction.

Qin Zhibo estimated the distance and felt that Curacao could definitely walk there.

However, given that she had fallen into the water and her clothes were in disarray, she would definitely be noticed immediately if she entered a crowded place.

Moreover, places like amusement parks are slightly inconsistent with the style of the organization members.

Combining the above two points, it is unlikely that you will be able to meet with the organization there.

"Let's go to the warehouse area. Let's surround this place first..."

"In addition to paying attention to unfamiliar vehicles approaching, you also need to be extra careful in the sky."

"By the way, let's prepare the lighting equipment in advance, as the other side might try to cut off the power."

With the experience of the helicopter strafing of Tokyo Tower two days ago, Qin Zhibo now believes that the organization is no longer the same as before.

Is it because the plan is about to be realized that they are becoming more unscrupulous?
……

The next day.

On Capital Highway 9, a yellow Beetle was driving at a constant speed while fully loaded.

On the passenger seat of the car, a boy with a long hair was stuffing handfuls of popcorn into his mouth.

After a while, the bag was empty.

"Doctor, I've finished my snacks~"

Ayumi, who was looking at the scenery in the back seat, asked worriedly, "Have you finished eating everything?"

"Even our share has been eaten?" Mitsuhiko exclaimed, standing up and leaning on the chair to look towards the front seat.

I saw that the floor of the front passenger seat was covered with leftover food bags, and the little that was left was stuck around Yuantai's mouth.

"Excuse me……"

Yuan Tai didn't feel much remorse about eating alone. He just smiled and scratched his head.

"Didn't we agree to eat together?"

"Well, I'm suddenly hungry..."

"It's almost here, don't be so angry, I'll just buy some..."

The two were arguing, and Dr. Agasa could only step in between to smooth things over.

At the same time, as the two parents of this small group, Conan and Haibara Ai didn't care at all about the quarrels between the children.

Conan was wearing headphones and watching a news video on his mobile phone.

Huiyuan tilted her head, smiled sweetly, and asked, "What are you looking at? Why are you so interested?"

Conan tilted the phone towards Haibara Ai to get a little closer, "There was a sudden large-scale power outage along the coast of Capital Bay. The cause of the accident has not yet been announced, so it feels a bit strange..."
