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

Tokyo is immersed in night.

The night wind blows through the streets, which are full of lights and feasting. The flashing neon lights illuminate the people passing by, and the noise spreads far and wide.

However, on a street across the river, there was a completely different scene. A dark car was parked on the side of the road. The light of the streetlight passed through the car window and fell on a naturally long hair, glowing with cold silver. Light.

When Vodka came out of the bar, all he saw was Gin sitting in the passenger seat, checking messages on his phone.

There was a slight movement outside. Gin quickly looked up and saw Vodka opening the door cautiously. He looked away and looked at the phone again.

In the dim car, the bright light from the screen cast a small shadow on his face.

[The snake is poisonous. 】

There was no code name, no other signature, and it even came from a completely unfamiliar email address, but Gin immediately knew who it was from.

Vodka didn't dare to say anything, even though he didn't understand why his elder brother had such a subtle expression on his face that seemed to be mocking or... missing something, and he buckled his seat belt honestly.

At this time, he discovered something stuffed between the two seats in the front row.

It looked like a book. Vodka followed Gin. He had seen and dealt with many unlucky people who encountered things they shouldn't have touched, so he didn't even pick it up and check it out. He didn't even read the words on the spine carefully. .

He just reminded: "Brother, does this book belong to you? Do you want to put it away quickly?"

Only then did Gin give his younger brother more attention. He knew what the other person was asking and said in a cold tone: "Just deal with it. This is just an ordinary detective novel."

Why are there detective stories here? Vodka was filled with questions. He pulled out the book, held it in his hand, and saw the cover and title.

Under a blue and gray sky, a gallows-like pillar stood on the ground. A person whose face could not be seen clearly stood under the pillar. It was unclear whether he was a bystander watching the punishment or the next person to be hanged.

"...Golden Dreamland?"

Vodka whispered the title of the book.

He didn't notice that when he heard the name, Gin beside him paused slightly as he read the mail.

A memory suddenly flashed through my mind.

……

Snake Venom Beer Betrayal!
Gin, who was caught off guard by the news, came to the villa angrily. He opened the study door and strode in.

There were two identical teenagers in the study room as always. The one with light brown eyes and longer hair said to him dissatisfiedly: "Gin, you should knock on the door when you enter."

Gin ignored it. He looked directly at the two of them and said, "Where is the snake venom?"

Anatoly was waiting for his brother to clean up the chessboard. This time they had only white pieces on the board: "Escaped."

"escape?"

Gin squeezed out the word through his teeth and looked at the two of them coldly. He quickly passed by the frail Anatole and turned his attention to Artemis who started to tidy up the chess pieces since he lost: "Why are you Want to let him go?"

"I didn't let him go, I just didn't think he would escape so fast." Artemis said innocently, "By the time I got the news, he had disappeared."

"His escape was indeed an unexpected incident, but you don't care about his whereabouts at all now." Gin pointed out, "You didn't even think about going out to chase him."

Artemis glanced at the Beretta in Gin's hand, which was exactly the same gun as Aaron's, and knew that the other person was angry because the teacher was running away: "I don't have time."

Gin suddenly realized something.

Sure enough, Anatole said: "Father plans to let Artemis start living with his uncle, and develop a false identity for him, so that he can work undercover in the FBI in the future."

Their uncle and Rattlesnake Cocktail were half-brothers and sisters. They were brought to the United States by their divorced mother when they were young, became a judge, and had some connections with the organization... At that time, half of her mission was for the KGB, and the other half was to find him. Just came to the United States.

Gin could only swallow back his anger and heard the client who was about to go undercover say: "There is no rush to chase the snake venom. He knows the organizational style. Only by staying anonymous can he escape longer. He will only disclose information to the police or FBI in exchange for protection." Exposed faster..."

When Artemis said this, he stood up, walked briskly to Gin, raised his hand and pulled off his sleeve: "But you came just in time, help me think of a name."

His tone of voice was like coquettishness. Artemis liked to speak like this to people who were older than him, even if the other person was quarreling with him a second ago.

"What?" Gin impatiently pulled back his sleeves, his tone even more sinister because he was in a bad mood.

"You can't use your real name when you are an undercover agent." Artemis said in a regretful tone, "The organization headquarters has always been in Japan. I plan to use a Japanese name. What do you think?"

"Whatever you want," Gin said.

"What do you want to base it on? Randomly? Historical celebrities? Well-known film and television drama characters? Or characters in books?" Anatoly asked.

Artemis thought for a while and pointed to the bookshelf in front of her: "Just based on novels. I don't want the name to be too popular, nor do I want it to be too weird. Those from well-known novels are good."

Anatoly stood up and walked to the bookshelf. This place had been greatly updated recently, and many Japanese mystery novels they bought when they went to Japan for vacation were put there.

Gin had read a few books, and he noticed that he was looking at the books above, and thought of another key point: "If Artemis goes undercover, the codename 'Anicet' must start to be kept secret and cannot be known to too many people. "

"It doesn't matter, that gentleman has already given Artemis a new code name."

Anatole said as he took a book off and looked at the introduction on the back.

"From today on, I am the only Aniset, and Artemis is Anis. To avoid trouble caused by the same appearance, I will appear less in front of the organization members in the future... Artemis, come and see how this works. ?”

Artemis decisively abandoned Gin, rushed to her brother's side, and her eyes fell on the words above:
"The ordinary deliveryman Masaharu Aoyagi meets an old friend he hasn't seen for many years, but is suddenly told that the Prime Minister is about to be assassinated, and he is the murderer! ...A story about an official being assassinated and then cleared of his wrongdoing?"

Artemis paused for a moment: "Ordinary people run away when something like this happens. The tone of this kind of story is usually very frustrating. Could it be that he took revenge on all the people who hurt him?"

"No," Anatoly smiled, "He did not take revenge, nor did he have the ability to take revenge. In the end, the truth was not revealed and the injustice was vindicated... But this is a fairly heart-warming story."

Gin was not interested in this. He walked up to them, casually glanced at the introduction of the book, and then looked at the bookshelf.

He didn't usually read many novels. He had only read Sherlock Holmes on the recommendation of Anatole, and he also read a few Japanese novels brought by their brothers.

Gin glanced at the bookshelf very quickly. When he saw a certain row, his eyes suddenly paused, and then he took down the book.

On the dark cover is a skull.

……

"On the stage of tragedy, I will try to survive..."

Gin's thoughts returned to the present. He heard Vodka next to him holding the book and whispering the author's message on the title page of the book.

"I really take it for granted. Obviously what happened to the protagonist is the biggest tragedy... but we still have to focus on writing about the family and friendship he felt on the way to escape. His relatives believed in him, his friends helped him in the past, and even strangers would lend a helping hand. In the end, he changed his appearance and succeeded. escape……"

Vodka sneered in a very villainous manner and put the book back in its place, planning to wait until it was somewhere before getting rid of the book that might have fingerprints on it.

Gin's face was expressionless.

The email sent by the former Artemis and now Aoyagi Binguang was actually very long. After that sentence, he listed Snake Venom's experiences over the years.

He didn't take a closer look for the time being and went straight down.

The traitor Anis was responsible for is dead, and the undercover agent is next. This is another guy’s task. As an undercover agent within the FBI, Anis will assist...

Thinking of Rai, who left the organization unharmed a year ago, Gin sneered, but his smile quickly disappeared from his face.

Because he saw the last content of the email.

[...formally met Rai. To be honest, he and you are really similar, just like a pair of unrelated twin brothers... When you are not around, I like to stay with him, and I am a little reluctant to hurt him. 】

[Let her do her best. I have already done what she needs to do. 】

"…………"

Gin's face instantly turned darker than the coat he was wearing.
