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

Chapter 63 The title of the book has been changed
In the bar, Zhu Fu Jingguang put down his glass and looked at the time again.

It's exactly nine o'clock at night.

——Half an hour has passed since the time he and Gin agreed.

This bar is one of the meeting points of the organization in Abedo. The lights are dim. In addition to the bar where he is sitting, there are dozens of tables arranged, each table is far apart.

The bar is open to the public normally, and members of the organization will mix in when meeting here, as if they are just ordinary guests, and will not deliberately drive others away.

In such a mixed environment, Zhu Fu Jingguang remained highly vigilant and did not dare to relax at all.

……

Zhu Fu Jingguang is a police officer of the Metropolitan Police Department.

His friend Jiang Guling came from the National Police Agency, and they simultaneously infiltrated a transnational criminal organization that had existed for half a century as undercover agents.

At present, both of them have received code names and have become mid-level cadres of the organization.

Zhu Fu Jingguang picked up the wine glass. In the transparent glass was Scotch whiskey with the same code name as his.

He was in a calm state of mind. The other party was late for so long and did not send an email or call to inquire because he was not sure whether the other party would come over tonight.

On the surface, the codename members have equal status, but in fact there is a big gap. Members like Gin (his boss) and Rum (Fa Xiao's boss), who have certain command rights over other members, have a significantly higher status.

If the police want to get really important information, they have to arrest members of this status.

However, what matches their status is their caution and suspicion.

Bourbon can only talk to Rum so far and has not seen his true face; he can meet with Gin, but the other party will confirm repeatedly before each meeting, find someone else to go instead, or suddenly change the place and time.

It makes people want to catch it, but there is no way to do it.

And now...

Zhu Fu Jingguang took a sip of wine and remembered the two emails he received yesterday, from Ginjiu and 'that gentleman' in the organization.

[Gin will temporarily loan you to another member...obey the other party's orders and complete the mission. 】

[Tomorrow night at 08:30, Eden Cocktail Bar. ——Gin】

The email between the two did not mention the code name of the member at all. We could only judge from the tone of the email that the other person's status was much higher than his own.

...Will this be his new opportunity?

Zhu Fu Jingguang thought like this and put down his wine glass again.

Almost as soon as the cup fell on the bar, he unsurprisingly felt a familiar hard object pressing against his thin summer clothes from behind.

"good evening."

Zhu Fu Jingguang did not look back. He remained in such a hostage state and greeted him calmly as if chatting with a friend.

"You're a long time late. What would you like to drink?"

"..."

Perhaps because he didn't notice anything strange, Gin withdrew the Beretta that was leaning against him and sat on the seat next to him.

"A glass of Anisette."

Gin told the bartender the name of the drink in a cold tone.

When he heard the name of the wine, Zhu Fu Jingguang was slightly startled.

The bartender serving the organization nodded slightly. He turned around and took out a bottle from the wine cabinet at the back. He unscrewed the cork and poured it into the cup. He didn't add any other wine to mix it, and sent it directly to Gin.Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at the glass of wine in front of Ginjiu.

Anise liqueur, originated in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, is one of the most popular liqueurs in European countries, among which France and Italy are the most famous.

He has also heard this code name within the organization.

Aniset, whose gender, appearance, and age are all unknown, has been active in the Americas for a long time. Because she has a good relationship with Gin, she occasionally comes to Japan.

This is not the key, the key is his other two identities.

He is the child of Goldwasser, the third in command. He is also in the top ten in the organization and is an absolute senior member.

At the same time...

Before Ginjiu looked over, Zhu Fu Jingguang looked back in time.He raised the wine glass in his hand and used the gesture of drinking to cover up the sharpness in his eyes.

——The brutal executioner who killed him and the police undercover agent before Jiang Guling.

……

This criminal organization existed for decades.

The National Police Agency and the Metropolitan Police Department have sent out more than one or two people over the years. Zhufu Jingguang and Fangtani Ling were sent as undercover agents after graduating from the police academy. They are currently the two people with the highest status among the undercover agents.

Before them, there was another senior who had been given a code name and had been lurking for more than ten years.

That senior was from Osaka and went to university and police academy in Tokyo. Later, like Morofuku Kagemitsu, he was assigned to the Public Security Department of the Metropolitan Police Department after graduation.

He infiltrated the organization more than 20 years ago and lurked for more than ten years. However, he was unfortunately exposed ten years ago and died tragically in the United States. The Metropolitan Police only learned of his death after seeing the report on the unknown man's body in the United States.

It is said that the senior's corpse had a completely broken jaw and was shot three times in the chest. Other than that, he had not received any other torture or punishment. It was a typical method of executing a traitor.

It was Anicet who executed him - Zero heard this news from Rum, so the chances of it being wrong are low.

... Could it be that this time he was transferred to Aniset?
Facing such a big fish, Zhu Fu Jingguang showed no fear, nor did he show any anger or excitement - but there was an outrageously suspicious Gin sitting next to him.

Gin reached out and picked up the glass, but didn't drink it.

"...How many rumors have you heard about this guy?"

"Anicet..."

Zhu Fu Jingguang seemed to know the name of the wine for the first time, and he whispered:
"I heard that this seems to be a member who likes to stay behind the scenes and is good at mentally controlling others to achieve his own goals..."

——"Anisette?... She is the goddess of discord who causes disputes with golden apples. He is the despicable poisonous snake in the sacred Garden of Eden that seduces others to fall to earth..."

This is what Belmod said during a mission last year.

Belmod is known for being mysterious in the organization. She wears a different face every time she meets her. At the same time, her words are quite a riddle, making it impossible for people to tell whether Anicet is a boy or a girl.

Hearing his words, Gin snorted coldly.

Zhu Fu Jingguang couldn't understand what it meant. Was he dissatisfied with Aniset?Or do you think this comment is untrue?He held the wine glass and remained silent.

"Bah-"

A very soft knock on the door passed through the noise and crowds in the bar and reached their ears accurately.

Zhu Fu Jingguang noticed that Ginjiu beside him suddenly raised his head and looked towards the door.
