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

Chapter 176 Gin’s Daily Life

There is no day, night or seasons in the organization's underground experimental base. No matter what time of day, the interior is always as bright as day and maintains the same comfortable temperature.

But Kuroki now had a layer of sweat on his back.

Wearing a white lab coat, nitrile gloves on his hands, and a tightly pulled mask, he was busy with other people in the laboratory.

"This seal."

"Those disposable petri dishes are placed aside separately, sterilized first, and then thrown into medical waste bags."

"This place is clean, come here and spray disinfectant."

The youngest Miyano Shiho directed them around.

Yesterday's pollution caused the previous experiment to be scrapped. The researchers of this project stayed at the base last night and almost didn't sleep well all night. They were called to deal with waste as soon as they got up in the morning and took the opportunity to clean up the previous garbage. Do some house cleaning and get ready to start from scratch.

A female colleague next to Kuroki sighed softly: "All the previously tested organisms had to be replaced. Those little mice were quite cute..."

Kuroki laughed a few times as he recalled how she picked up the curved tweezers and pinched a mouse eyeball while discussing how to go out to eat medium-rare bloodshot steak and red wine at night.

"Hey, Kuroki. I'm talking to you, why are you ignoring me?" The female colleague turned her face and said dissatisfied.

Kuroki lowered his head to deal with the matter at hand. He carefully sealed the gaps in the petri dish with parafilm little by little. Without looking at her, he just said softly: "I'm not very good at communicating with women..."

The female colleague caught a glimpse of his wrinkled sleeves and muttered, "Don't you and Shirley have a good conversation?" and turned to deal with the things on the next table.

Kuroki quietly glanced at her before leaving, and after making sure there was no one around him, he put the petri dish in his hand into a yellow biological garbage bag in this blind spot of surveillance.

At this moment, his heart, which was already beating wildly, almost jumped to his throat.

Behind him, colleagues walked back and forth. Some people were complaining helplessly. Some people asked Miyano Shiho how to deal with certain things. The mysophobic colleague finally stopped spraying disinfectant after being stopped by others.

No one noticed him.

……That's good.

Although the organization sent people to investigate yesterday, they may not be able to find out so quickly.

In fact, he didn't want to be in such a hurry. He should wait. Next month, they would conduct an experiment with a very high failure rate. It would be safer to do it then, but...

...But, she couldn't wait any longer.

Kuroki suppressed the fear and tension in his heart, tied the mouth of the bag tightly, made a mark in a hidden place, and put it in the corner.

Then, as if nothing happened, he and other colleagues started working as usual.

……

The laboratory was busy, and Junerik came over to ask if he wanted to help, but was coaxed away by Miyano Shiho.

Glenn isn't here, he hasn't been seen since he came to pick up the rabbit last night. As Rum's confidant, he has been very busy and cannot always keep an eye on this place.

Kuroki had no doubts about this.

This tidying up lasted until the afternoon, with no rest in between. When Miyano Shiho announced the end, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"You guys go back and rest. The experiment will start again tomorrow."

A group of people left the laboratory. Many people were sighing, and their eyes could not hide the exhaustion and helplessness. Kuroki felt sorry for them and walked towards the single dormitory alone.

He turned on the light. There was no one in the single dormitory. He walked to the table and touched the rabbit with a red ribbon, and then entered the bathroom.

He turned on the faucet, and the water rushed down. He lowered his head, scooped up water and splashed it on his face. The cold and biting feeling gradually awakened his swollen brain.

"Humph……"

A low chuckle sounded behind him.

"!!"

Kuroki instantly stood on his head with hair all over his body!

He looked up in disbelief, and before he could wipe it off, the water rolled down his face to his chin.

My face and neck were completely wet, and I couldn't tell whether it was water or cold sweat. A man in black with long silver hair appeared in the mirror in front of him. His dark green eyes were like the eyes of a hunting wolf, looking at him coldly.

At the same time, a hard barrel pressed against his head.　　　————

A black Toyota parked on the side of the road at the back entrance of Mihua Yakushino Hospital.

Rabbit sat in the passenger seat and looked out the window in a daze.

He didn't know what was going on inside the hospital and at the organizational base, Miyano Shiho.

This time was different from the past when Miyano Shiho took him out to play. It was not for leisure, but for an organizational mission: Glenn picked him up from Kuroki last night and said that the base needed to clean up some animals, and he might be affected if he stayed there. And by noon today, she brought him here again.

In the middle of the process, he told her the news about Kuroki, but she just said "I got it" and didn't reply at all. She didn't mention anything about the conversation with Gin.

Rabbit understands that she doesn't say anything. After all, he can't help much in this state, and his willpower is so low. Knowing some things will still scare him, but...

He shook his head, suppressed the messy thoughts, and brought his thoughts back to the situation at hand.

How's it going with Shiho?

Is Gin going about his endless daily work of catching undercover agents and killing traitors again?

What is Glenn doing in the hospital?

The last point is what the rabbit is most worried about...or afraid of.

With Toru Amuro, he fully understood the cruelty of the undercover - Glenn had told him that it was Bobon who killed Kina Kotomine - the original author could be vague about whether the undercover would kill anyone, but he could not as he had already entered this world.

Toru Amuro knows how to kill, even on innocent people; let alone Shuichi Akai, a sniper, his sniper rifle is definitely not a kind gun.

Will Glenn kill someone?

Will... kill innocent people?

Rabbit had never, nor dared, ask Glenn this question.

He was about to raise his head to go to the hospital again, when his ears suddenly twitched.

【boom! 】

Rabbit was so frightened that he thought it was a gunfight outside the car, but he soon realized that it was not the sound beside him.

——It was received by the hearing that he transferred to the rabbit yesterday.

Something happened at Kuroki.

……

"boom!"

Bullets fired from a pistol without a silencer.

The lethality of the close range shooting was astonishing. The bullet penetrated the thigh and hit the ground. Accompanied by screams, blood spattered.

Gin chewed his cigarette and looked down at the man at his feet.

Heimu was as embarrassed as an abandoned wild dog that had been abused by a villain. He fell to the ground dragging his punctured limbs, and blood accumulated under him. Everywhere he was hit was not a vital point.

Listening to the moan coming from his mouth, Gin asked again.

"How did you get in touch with the police?"

Gin has met many members of the organization.

Some have been in the organization since they opened their eyes, some were brought into the organization when they grew up to a certain age, and some join for various reasons as adults.

The last kind has the most rats.

Most of the members responsible for assassinations and intelligence investigations are thick-skinned and ordinary interrogations cannot get them to open their mouths. The man in front of him is just a weak researcher. He only joined half a year ago. A kid from the training camp can kill him easily, but he is still here. No explanation was given.

Kuroki's eyes were open, his consciousness extremely clear, and his body was shaking due to severe pain. But he still didn't speak.

Gin sneered.

"Are you thinking about your daughter?" he said. "Glenn has gone to the hospital. I believe it won't be long before you hear the news of her death."

"!!"

Kuroki's body trembled violently, and his face covered in cold sweat was covered with fear.
