Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"Should you explain, Gin."

In the staff lounge of the haunted house, several researchers in white protective suits squatted on the ground holding their heads. Belmode, who also wore protective suits, patted the boy lying on the table and glared at Gin who walked in.

Gin ignored her. He was leaning against the wall with a cocktail in his hand, glanced at the researcher on the ground, and let out a breath from his nostrils.

"Humph!"

Immediately, someone jumped up in fright. The man looked back and forth between Belmode and Gin, and finally gritted his teeth and reached for a tool box not far away.

He didn't know Belmode, but he had seen Gin kill people.

"what!"

Along with the white smoke coming out of the muzzle of the gun on Belmod's hand, the researcher's entire palm disappeared. His expression was distorted, and he slowly knelt down, with blood flowing continuously along the broken mouth.

"What are you still doing?"

Gin stared at Belmod coldly, but he was talking to the researchers: "Take him down and bandage his wounds. Don't let him die."

This person was Shirley's deputy at the time. If it hadn't been for him, the research on APTX4869 would have been discontinued long ago. He couldn't die.

The lounge quickly emptied, leaving only Gin and Belmode. They were silent for a moment, as if they were brewing something. After a while, Chrissy spoke first.

"What did you want to do when you knocked him out?"

"I should be the one to ask this question, Belmode."

Gin slowly took off his gloves, because his palms had not been exposed to the sun for almost too long, and his hands were even whiter than Belmod's.

One of the five fingers under the gloves has a golden ring on it, which is almost identical to the one worn by Kudo Yuji.

"Rum said you gave your ring to Kudo Yuji, but I clearly remember seeing Spiris wearing that ring. Should you explain it?"

Gin did not hide his murderous intention at all: "Depending on your answer, I will decide whether to kill you here."

"This kid just picked up that gold ring in that villa and gave it to me because I liked it." Belmode's murderous aura also emanated from his eyes, and the temperature in the whole room couldn't stop falling. He stimulated Kudo Yuji who was sleeping on the table.

"It was only after he discovered these gold rings that the boss gave them to us."

Chris hugged her chest, her eyes turned gentle when they turned to Yuji, and turned cold when they turned to Gin: "We who originally only held silver rings should be grateful to him."

After the gold ring came into their hands, both Gin and Belmode had much greater say in the organization than before, and there was a vague feeling of being equal to Rum.

"As for the ring on Machiko's hand, she just asked me to wear it because she thought it looked good. It was returned to me within two days."

Belmod felt that the air conditioning on the other side had dropped slightly, so he asked, "Should you tell me what's going on?"

"The boss wants us to adopt Kudo Yuji's genes."

Hearing Gin's blunt words, Belmod's face became slightly better, but immediately it became difficult to look at because of the content.

"Boss, this is..."

"Hmph." Gin sneered and said, "Looking at how much trouble we have with this boy, the boss probably wants to replace him altogether."

The organization's cloning technology is superb. All it takes is to clone Kudo Yuji and then kill the original him.

"I will not allow this kind of thing." Belmod stood in front of Yuji, pointing her gun at Gin: "I will never agree to it! Even if it means... betraying the organization."

Gin felt the determination in Chris's eyes, the corners of his mouth raised, and a faint smell of smoke came out of his mouth: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

This old woman finally said this. "It looks like you don't intend to resist." Gin noticed that Chris had put down the hand holding the gun, and raised his eyebrows: "Are you asking me to let him go?"

"You didn't take the boss's mission!"

Belmode looked directly at Gin, just as this man understood her, she also understood Gin: "You should just shoot me."

In order to complete the task, Gin had no chance of wasting time. He was just teasing her by saying so many words.

"The boss just made a suggestion, and I rejected it." Gin put away the pistol: "This kid has made so much money for us, and he is not one of those traitors and rats."

As long as it does not harm the interests of the organization, he has no intention of doing such a thing. He is not a pervert who enjoys killing people.

"Then you..." Belmod was relieved.

"I don't intend to do such a boring thing like Vodka, I just want the result." Gin didn't care that Belmode killed two of his men. As a person of the same level, killing two members of the codename was not enough. What kind of.

"But the collection task is still assigned to me alone. The boss seems to be very interested in Kudo's genetic genes, so if you don't want this kid to be captured by Rum for research, you'd better let me finish the job."

Gin turned around and left the lounge. Seeing this, Belmod quickly followed. The two of them watched the researchers enter cautiously and smoke together outside the back door.

"So there are actually two tasks, the boss's collection task, and yours."

Belmode held a lady's cigarette: "What do you want to do?"

Just looking at the results... you don't really plan to find a female member to sleep with Kudo Yuji, do you?

"It stands to reason that he should be recruited into the organization, but it seems that you don't want this. In order to avoid conflicts between us and unnecessary losses, I plan to borrow part of his body to collect results."

If Kudo Yuji hangs up one day, he can throw the girl out. According to Japanese law, illegitimate children also have the right to inherit.

"He's only 16."

"So I will find a mother for his child who is above the legal age."

Gin wiped out the cigarette butt with his hand, and then stuffed the remaining cigarette butt into his pocket: "Originally, if Shirley was here, she should be the best choice."

"It would be too whimsical for you to want a young girl to give birth to a baby by a strange man."

Shaking the gun on his waist, Gin hummed: "She will volunteer."

Another thing, he was really curious about why the boss was suddenly interested in the Kudo family's genes.

"Let me be the candidate for this job."

After being stunned for a moment, Gin narrowed his eyes and scanned Belmod, and asked doubtfully: "You must have gone through menopause, right?"

A gust of wind blew past him. Looking at the tree trunk that exploded not far from him, Gin calmly lit another cigarette. At the very moment, Belmode activated the American Iaijutsu.

"Why else would you come on the date instead of your daughter?"

"It's just that Machiko doesn't want to come." Belmode shook his hands with a gloomy look on his face: "Next time you say such ignorant words, it won't be the tree that explodes."

The two of them were about to say something when they heard the back door being opened. The researcher holding the tool protection box with one hand endured the pain and nodded to Gin, then opened the box with his knee and let them see the results.

Wrapped in a black protective pad and a refrigeration device was a small ampoule filled with white viscous liquid. Seeing this, Gin nodded with satisfaction.

"You did a good job, but...why are there so many?" (End of Chapter)
