Conan: I am really a good person

Chapter 398 Yes
Ichijo Mirai got off the bus in front of a building.

He actually didn't lie to Conan too much. A large part of the mission content was true. For example, the organization had established laboratories all over the world, and the destination software company was the organization's.

The software company's area is twice as large as that of companies of the same level. Excluding the office space for uninformed employees, a small-scale laboratory can be concluded. Conan can easily come to the conclusion by obtaining the building's blueprints from the police, and he will be more convinced of the conclusion he has drawn himself.

As for whether there is really a successful drug in the laboratory...all it takes is for the suspicious and hateful leader to give an order to destroy it.

There are very few people in the building. All the companies had taken various collective holidays in the past few days. Now there are only a few security and cleaning staff left in the building. The rest of the people are empty and there is only silence. Even the elevator is quiet.

Until the sound of swiping a card to open the door was heard again.

Vermouth walked in, shaking her car keys, and looked up and down the building for a few seconds. She said casually, "It's raining too hard. The police who followed me didn't catch up. Should we wait?"

After saying that, she looked back, looking at the door that had opened again, her lips raised, "Oh, the leader is here too, it seems the police are in place, no need to wait any longer."

This shows that there is no way that the cricket rum waste could accidentally get rid of the police's suspicion.

Rum, who had just swiped his card to enter, “…”

This is another scenario in which we meet this poor victim in the future in a non-game situation. Unlike Vermouth, he feels that he did not persecute Rum that much, and he is not very familiar with Rum's reaction to seeing him again after suffering from slow-cooking for so long: will he bulge his eyes and his blood pressure soar like a frog in a hot pot, or will he have already processed the Sanzu River long-term residence certificate in advance and feel hopeless amid the ups and downs of his blood pressure?
He looked over curiously and found it was the latter.

There was nothing sarcastic about what he said to Vermouth. Rum only bit his back teeth in dissatisfaction at first, but after a look from the future, he quickly loosened his back teeth and put on a submissive expression as if he didn't hear anything just now because the wind was too strong.

In addition, he seemed to be without an umbrella, and his body was quite wet. Not only did every step leave shallow marks, but his hair was also in wisps. His expression made him look even more submissive.

Rum even took the initiative to echo Vermouth's words, "Well, the police following me are outside."

"Then we can start," a vision from the future swept over, seemingly not noticing that Rum was distracted and probably guessed that his death was approaching, "We need to go to the tenth floor."

The software company rented the ninth and tenth floors. The ninth floor was nominally an office space, and the tenth floor was nominally the location of the offices of individual leaders. Both floors had laboratory areas, but the ninth floor had more people and was used to store less confidential information.

After they entered the elevator, Rum whispered again: "Sir, this laboratory,"

He hesitated, "Did it really work?"

Compared to the high-spirited and complacent Rum when they first "met", the current Rum was almost a completely different person. He even kept his eyes down when talking and didn't look directly at Ichijou.

It seems that life has turned out well for him.

But it didn’t go completely smoothly.

Otherwise he wouldn't try, and no matter how careful the test is, it's still a test.

Ichijo Mirai smiled at Rum, "It worked. Otherwise, why do you think I would join forces with the police? Of course, it was a natural thing to deal with these troublesome things that were successfully dealt with when the previous leader was still here and have already been registered with the police."

"Immortality is the most irresistible thing for human beings. Even the noblest people will be shaken by it, not to mention our police officers." He said calmly, "If we don't deal with it now, when the big shots can no longer stand old age, I will be chased and bitten persistently, which will be too troublesome." Vermouth's eyes were on the elevator wall. She looked at Rum's reflection on the silver wall. When the elevator issued a crisp prompt sound and the elevator door slowly opened, separating Rum's reflection, she stepped out and spoke, "Do you think those big bugs are difficult to deal with and troublesome, or do you think they are too boring, and you are so bored that you want to scratch through the skylight and get out to bungee jump without rope after spending a second with them?"

She seemed to be teasing, and Yi Tiao Wei Li also seemed to be teased. She walked slowly to the door of the hidden laboratory, entered the password to open the laboratory, and sighed, "There is only a fine line between 'bugs' and 'hunters'. I am a 'hunter', and you are also a 'hunter'. You should know where this fine line is. When I am bored occasionally, I may be happy to play with bugs to kill some extra time, but I don't want to have another of my kind who I need to compete with seriously."

Rum walked among them, his eyes straight ahead, and he lowered his head sensibly when he was typing in the password on a future line, hiding the slight dark light that flashed in his eyes.

People always want to live. If they can live, who can die?

...Except for the boring life of living almost on an airplane.

Now, he got a lighted way to survive from a careless remark from the future: It sounds like after taking the medicine, in addition to reversing the flow of time, the human body will have other incidental changes, making the person stronger and undergoing a qualitative change, so that he or she will transform from a prey to a hunter.

Compared to immortality, this was not something difficult to accept. At least Rum was convinced instantly, and it resolved his doubts of "How can Vermouth be more powerful than me?" and "Chief! Chief, I can't live without you, Chief! Chief, what did you force into the organization? Chief, you can die if you die, but you are a money-loser who deserves to die but still refuses to die, but can you take away the unknown thing you forced into the organization? What on earth is he?"

The question now is: how can we get the medicine?
Yitiao's future plan was very obvious, and he had no intention of hiding it. Rum knew clearly that he wanted to destroy the troublesome things, one was the medicine, and the other was his nominal leader.

The best time to get the medicine is...

When the police were about to successfully destroy the drugs.

Yitiao Future, a cold-hearted person who has a face full of the words "I'm a loner and if one person dies, the whole family will die" and has no good friends, will never confide in the police. The transaction is just a fragile transaction like glass. It is fine under normal circumstances, but when there is a violent conflict between the two sides, just an accident can detonate the situation.

In this kind of conflict, when both parties attracted each other's attention, Rum had the opportunity to steal the drugs, or to escape and take the drugs to get through the dangerous period.

While thinking quickly, Rum saw the door of the laboratory open silently, revealing an empty white corridor inside.

He noticed that Yitiao Weili looked at him with a smile, as if he noticed his expression was different, so he quickly adjusted his expression and spoke in a low voice with a worried tone, "Are there many drugs left? It's raining heavily outside. What if the police suddenly attacked and successfully took some away..."

The laboratory was empty. A future walked in the white corridor. He took out his cell phone openly and sent a message to Conan in a cautious tone, first stating the floor of the laboratory, then stating that the laboratory had been cleaned, and that the leader had secret confidants in Tokyo, who might be nearby and planning to evacuate with the team. He suggested that the police should not act immediately, as the evil leader would be most alert when he was in the laboratory.

While editing his half-truths to Conan, he calmly told Rum another half-truth, "Don't worry, the police are very straightforward, but those old bigwigs have complicated intestines. From what I know about them, they won't make a move unless they are 100% sure that the drugs they have snatched are genuine. Only the drugs we carry when we board the cruise ship are 100% genuine, and they will only take action then."

After that, Yi Tiao Wei also edited and sent the text message. He paused and looked at Rum. His expression was rare for a waste. "If you want to continue living, the police they sent may have capable and excellent officers. The plan to destroy the drugs may encounter unexpected problems. Then..."

"Medicine cannot be soaked in water. In a pinch, you are responsible for disposing of the medicine."

Better to solve it yourself.

This was clearly reflected in his eyes. He had already made an unquestionable decision, but he still cared about the deceased's opinion. "Is that okay?"

Rum: “…Okay.”
