Conan: I'm Not a Ghost

"Why?"

At 9:55 pm, in the guest room of Agasa Residence, Miyano Akemi, who had just finished taking a bath and put on a bathrobe, sat cross-legged on the bed, grabbed her ankles with both hands, and said in surprise:

"Have you and Cheng gotten that far?"

"When did it happen?"

"Say it quickly!"

"Sister, don't make such a fuss."

Miyano Shiho blushed and said a little embarrassed:

"Just the day before yesterday, I went to Izu with him."

"Have you eaten red beans and rice?"

".No."

"How can that be done!"

When Miyano Akemi heard this, she jumped out of bed and ran to the kitchen:

"Red beans and rice are for celebration!"

"I'll do it and make it up for you!"

"Oh, sister you"

The two of them walked out of the room, just in time to see Sakaki putting on his shoes.

"Huh?"

Miyano Akemi asked in surprise:

"Cheng, it's so late, are you going out to buy red beans?"

"What Anko?"

After being slightly stunned, Sakaki said bluntly:

"I just received a call from Gin and I'm going to the new research institute."

"Why do you want red beans? I can buy some when I come back."

"Oh, go ahead, remember to buy some red beans!"

Miyano Akemi waved her hands nonchalantly:

"I'm going to cook red beans and rice for Shiho."

oh.

Red beans and rice.

Sakaki knew.

In Japanese customs, red bean rice is often served as a meal to celebrate special occasions in the year, such as birthdays, weddings, Children's Day, etc.

Because of the blood-enhancing effect of red beans, in some areas, young women will also eat red beans and rice when they have their first menstruation to express joy and celebration.

vice versa.

"Why did Gin ask you to go to the new research institute?"

Miss Miyano frowned, remembering the strange noise she just heard:

"There seemed to be gunshots outside just now."

"Oh, maybe Shuichi Akai's gun went off."

Sakaki said haha:

"Mingmei, you can stay here in the next few days. The warehouse will be renovated soon, and you can keep Shiho company by then."

"She doesn't have to worry about me now."

Miyano Akemi held her sister's hand and said with a smile:

"You have found your purpose, haven't you?"

Shrugging noncommittally, Sakaki picked up his umbrella, opened the door and walked out of Agasa Residence.

Colorless raindrops hit the dark umbrella surface, and were also printed with deep black.

This rain washes away the heat brought by summer, making it a bit cold and icy.

Sakaki likes to walk in the rain. He holds an umbrella and walks on the deserted streets.

suddenly

He let out a long sigh:

"Akai Shuichi, I will accept your request."

Before leaving the house, Shuichi Akai dropped 1 million in cash.

And he responded by saying that if you walk out of this door, everyone will be enemies from now on.

This is because

Shuichi Akai knew that Sakaki reported his whereabouts to Gin.

But at the same time, Sakaki's action of suppressing the mask also reminded him of this.

This is a deal.

Sakaki Cheng didn't think Akai Shuichi had the ability to protect Miyano Akemi, so he used means to force him.

And Shuichi Akai also understands the danger of his job, and the 1 million he left behind

It is Miyano Akemi's living expenses and also the commission fee.

To be honest, the workload of protecting one person is not small, it is only 1 million

not enough.

But the other party was Miyano Akemi. Regardless of anything else, Sakaki would do his best just for Miyano Shiho.

Akai Shuichi saw this, so he left 1 million, hinting that he would come to pick up Miyano Akemi one day.

before that

Sakaki Cheng warned him to keep a distance from Miyano Akemi and not to have easy contact.

[Enemies with different positions should not have too much contact. 】

This is the first meaning of that sentence.

Even a declaration of war was an unspoken understanding between the two.

At 10:35 pm, Sakaki arrived at the new research institute on time.

After entering the institute, he came to the gray-white main office building and saw the...

The devastated Porsche 356a.

The battle damage was 100%, and it was as worn as a dud bomb freshly dug out of the ground.

this.

Sakaki's sunglasses dropped.

This is the Porsche 356a that Boss Qin has always loved.

What has it experienced?

The tire shaft is crooked

It's a miracle that it can still be driven back.

Full of doubts, Sakaki climbed to the third floor and knocked on the office door.

Boom!

"Enter."

squeak

"Boss, you came to see me so late. Vodka, what's wrong with your legs?"

Vodka leaned on the chair, his right thigh was covered with bandages and raised high, holding blood-tonifying boiled red beans in his hand, his face was pale.

And gin.

Cigarettes were flowing one after another, and the ashtray in front of him was overflowing and could not be filled.

This scene is too weird!

Something is wrong, so wrong.

Something is definitely wrong!

"Forget it, I accidentally got pricked by an iron piece."

Vodka adjusted his sitting posture so that he looked upright:

"well!"

"My leg is injured. I'm afraid I won't be able to drive for ten days and a half. I have to rely on my eldest brother to drive me."

The palm of his hand paused and the cigarette ashes fell. Gin glanced at him and said in a deep voice:

"If you're injured, go home and recuperate!"

"But I can't worry about you, brother."

"If I'm really worried, I'll remove the detonator wrapped around your waist!"

Vodka kept silent and ate boiled red beans.

As long as he is not allowed to remove the detonator, the eldest brother's order is absolute.

The priority of the task cannot be wrong!

Pulling out the chair opposite the desk, Makoto Sakaki sat down, looked at the two of them, and asked:

"Boss Qin, why did your Porsche become like that?"

"."

"Is it repaired?"

"."

"How much does it cost to repair it?"

"."

Three soul questions.

Gin didn't know whether the Porsche 356a could be salvaged.

Do your best and leave it to fate.

"Do you know Ishikawa Hide?"

Gin suddenly asked.

"Oh, I know."

Raising his eyebrows, Makoto Sakaki nodded and said:

"Isn't he the young head of the new group?"

"Yes, he ruined our good things tonight!"

Vodka put the bowl heavily on the table and said angrily:

"We were just a little bit away from killing Shuichi Akai!"

"Because of him. Bastard!"

"Ishikawa Shu helped Shuichi Akai?"

Makoto Sakaki looked confused.

Is Ishikawa-san, who likes to talk about life, an undercover agent of the FBI?

No way.

When did the FBI take care of the underworld?

Vodka's words made him confused and confused.

Finally, Gin briefly described a series of events that happened, and Makoto Sakaki suddenly realized it.

His first reaction was.

"Is there a ghost in the organization?"

Makoto Sakaki pondered:

"Otherwise, how did Ishikawa Shu know our action plan tonight?"

There was some silence in the room.

Sakaki Cheng found that Gin and Vodka were looking at him, and said in surprise:

"Boss Gin, you don't suspect that I was the one who tipped you off, do you?"

"Be reasonable."

"If I want to harm you, I will definitely not use such a low-level method as an ambush!"

"Wouldn't it be nice to put a bomb on the Porsche 356a?"

Gin: "."
