Conan: I'm really not the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 174 Vodka: I want to protect my brother’s innocence!

"!!!"

The rabbit was pinched so hard that he couldn't move.

Kuroki's strange reaction made him realize that this person might be the real culprit that caused the experiment to fail! Even if you don’t make it with your own hands, you definitely know something!

His passive skills are so terrifying that the protagonist's physique actually sends him directly into the hands of the suspect!

The rabbit twisted hard, trying to take out his paw to send a message to Glenn and remind her of Kuroki's abnormality. But he was held tightly by Kuroki and couldn't move at all.

"It seems that many experiments have to be redone..."

The experienced Kuroki looked helpless. He lowered his head and looked at his watch. "If there is nothing else, I will go back to the dormitory first. If you want to conduct an experiment, you can call me immediately."

Researchers sometimes have to stay up all night, and separate dormitories are arranged for them in the base. Glenn, as a higher-status member, also has a room. Other personnel responsible for security and logistics have a harder time living in multi-person dormitories.

Rabbit felt that his fur was wet with the sweat from the man's palms. Kuroki looked calm but was very nervous inside. Miyano Shiho didn't see anything strange and nodded.

Kuroki said goodbye to her, looked at her with the same look as before, and smiled. Glenn did not react the whole time and watched him turn around and leave with the rabbit.

"..."

Seeing them getting further and further away from him, Rabbit's heart felt very cold. He was thankful that he didn't have to see Gin, but also felt sad that he had just emerged from the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den.

However, he felt Kuroki's hand holding him gradually loosen. When he looked up at him, he even stroked him. The smile on his face had disappeared and turned into silence.

The rabbit finally took this opportunity to take out his paw.

However, he knew very well that this place was full of surveillance, and sometimes he and Glenn couldn't communicate freely even if they were in the same room. Group chats had to be typed by hand, and direct communication with the brain was not possible, and the typing movements would be photographed. Now Glenn was going to see him. Gin must be more cautious, and even if he sees a call for help, he cannot come over immediately.

And things are not that scary. He is now the "pet" of two code members. No one will touch him at will. Kuroki never abused him when he took care of him before.

...Except for Toru Amuro drowning him a year ago, he has never died a second time.

Rabbit tried to comfort himself. Seeing the dormitory getting closer and closer, he suddenly remembered the way Kuroki looked at Miyano Shiho just now.

He originally thought that it was a pervert looking at his prey. The morals of the organization were extremely low. It was not unusual for garbage to show its mind to underage girls. But when Kuroki looked at her for the second time, he found that this did not seem to be the case.

That look in his eyes was very strange. It seemed like he had evil intentions, but it was more like he was looking at something through her.

...Could it be a wife, girlfriend, dream lover, or something similar to Shirley?

Rabbit began to worry again, this time not for himself. He struggled to reach the system ring, opened a temporary group chat, and told Glenn about it.

[Lust: I think the way Kuroki looks at Shirley is weird. Would you like to pay more attention? 】

Glenn didn't seem to notice. She was calm throughout the exchange. She happens to be responsible for monitoring Miyano Shiho, so I would like to remind her to please pay more attention to him later.

As he finished speaking, the door opened.

Because it is underground, there are no windows indoors. Rabbit has been to Glenn's single dormitory. The layout of these rooms is similar, with private bathrooms. The resting and sleeping area is about ten square meters, with a single bed, chair, desk and bookshelf.

The room was tidy, and there was a cardboard box on the table. There was a small white furry animal in it. He looked up when he heard the door opening.

The rabbit was surprised to find that it was also a rabbit.

...There are actually other researchers who keep pet rabbits, and the owner is a man? Shouldn't it be more likely for girls or children to keep this kind of animal?

The rabbit was surprised. He noticed a picture frame next to the cardboard box. But before he could see who was in the photo, Glenn's reply came.

[Greedy: He must have a daughter. 】

The red player who picked him up a year ago made a completely different judgment than him.

Her tone was also more determined.

———     Miyano Shiho followed Glenn uneasily.

The control room was right in front of her, and she felt the dark and dangerous aura getting closer and closer. The fear in her heart became stronger and stronger, and at the same time, there was regret buried in her heart.

Glenn comforted her just now, but she read his subtext - if the evidence is conclusive, the mole who carried out this experiment will definitely die.

Something in Miyano Shiho's heart was twitching, and she began to try hard to recall all the experimental steps today and the past few days.

Could it be an accident?

Serum contamination is not a rare thing, maybe some careless guy accidentally did it... She shouldn't be so arbitrary and say it's man-made, she should check it out herself first...

...Is Gin going to kill someone in front of her again?

Will Glenn, who is responsible for supervising this place, be affected by her and be punished?

And my sister...

Scenes of bloody scenes of Gin pointing a gun at people's heads kept flooding in his memory. Miyano Shiho was distracted and didn't realize that Glenn had stopped in front of him, and almost bumped into him.

"Shirley."

Glenn looked back at her, with calmness in his brown-red eyes. He said softly: "Don't always blame yourself. This is not your fault. You have done your best."

The two entered the control room. There were no lights on inside, only the surveillance images covering the entire wall and scattered in every corner of the base emitted a faint light.

Gin stood in the center, a cigarette between his teeth, his hands in his pockets, perhaps holding a gun ready to be fired at any moment. The dim environment and falling silver hair obscured his expression.

He raised his head and scanned the ever-changing screens. This is not real-time monitoring, but the internal footage of the laboratory that he pulled out from the morning and yesterday.

Hearing the movement, he glanced over, a habitual sneer on his lips, and Miyano Shiho's body trembled imperceptibly.

But she didn't seek refuge behind Glenn - she knew very well that doing so would make Gin even more dissatisfied with Glenn.

The vodka on the side spoke for his elder brother: "Glenn, Shirley. What is going on?"

Miyano Shiho noticed that when he mentioned Glenn, his tone was a bit disgusting, and his position was also very subtle, as if... he was vaguely blocking Gin?

She immediately thought of rumors that Glenn had molested certain male members.

Could it be that gin is also…………?

Miyano Shiho quickly suppressed this terrible thought. At this time, she had no desire to gossip, let alone the courage to gossip to Gin.

She calmed down and quickly told her that the laboratory had called her back urgently in the afternoon, and that she had discovered that the cell contamination was caused by serum, and that all previous experiments had to be redone.

Because these three people were not experimenters, Miyano Shiho tried his best to make them understand.

"This batch of serum is imported from an American company. It has been filtered to 0.1 three times. I suspect there is a problem during inactivation, as well as the number of freezing and thawing times... The laboratory just did it yesterday..."

Gin listened patiently, and the confusion on Vodka's face had penetrated through his sunglasses.

Glenn also listened patiently, walked to the console and clicked a few times to further narrow down the monitoring time and location, and the screen began to jump rapidly.

"Stop."

Gin, who had been watching the picture, said coldly.

The flashing picture finally freezes, and a man's figure with his back to the camera appears in front of them.
