Stay away from Conan.

Facing this man covered in a cloak, and his meaningful words, the little information he revealed made Akai Shuichi feel extremely shocked in his heart -

He knew what happened 20 years ago? He knew why the FBI was tracking down Vermouth.

He even knew the details of the failure of his plan to infiltrate the organization and arrest Gin!

Two years ago, after he thought he had gained the trust of the organization's top brass, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to arrest Gin, a high-ranking figure in the organization. So he made an appointment with Gin at an abandoned warehouse and contacted other FBI agents to ambush and capture Gin.

As a result, just as he and others were waiting there for Gin to appear, an old man suddenly entered the warehouse and sat there.

This sudden change, although he directly ignored the old man's existence, but another agent subconsciously appeared and reminded the old man "It's very dangerous here, you can't stay here", and then the old man did leave, but Gin never showed up.

The situation at that time had already shown that my identity was exposed, so I had no choice but to leave Japan and return to the United States...

And now, the person in front of him could actually tell such specific details, and even knew the identity of the old man at that time, which was actually Rum!

This kind of thing...

At this point, even if Akai Shuichi had doubts again and again, he could no longer ignore the information given by the person in front of him -

Because this is almost top-secret information, but the other party actually spoke it casually, and he couldn't even find any questionable points in his words. This made Akai Shuichi start to think seriously about whether cooperating with the other party was the right choice.

After all, rather than having a bottle of vodka that might not be able to pry open someone's mouth, the information held by the person in front of him might be more valuable.

Moreover, as the organization already knew that Vodka had been arrested, even if some information could be dug out of Vodka, the organization would have already eliminated all possible information that might be exposed.

In this way, the value of mastering vodka is a little bit lower than expected.

On the contrary, since the person in front of him could even tell about Rum's situation, it is very likely that the organization may not even know that the mastermind behind the arrest of Vodka was this person...

This mysterious person was the one Mingmei entrusted to him before she died. Now even her sister seems to be cooperating with him. This kind of thing...

At this moment, Shuichi Akai's eyes became more and more solemn when he looked at the person in front of him. He began to consider how to face this person next, wondering if he could get more information from him.

Thus, while Akai Shuichi was thinking this, Miyano Shiho, who was present, was also extremely surprised by the person in front of him who was completely hidden under the black cloak.

Although, Miyano Shiho knew who the other party was, even if the voice was wrong, it was just the voice changed through technical means, but there was nothing wrong with the fact that the other party was Gao Yuan.

However, because of this, as Gao Yuan talked about the FBI's actions two years ago, Miyano Shiho could clearly hear that was the whole story of Shuichi Akai's identity being discovered and choosing to flee Japan.

However, what Miyano Shiho didn't expect was that Rum was actually involved in this matter...

How did Gao Yuan know about this kind of thing?

  At the same time, it involves Rum and Gin, two top leaders of the organization. At this time, it is probably a secret that only relevant personnel would know. How did he know it?

Or was this just something he made up?

Miyano Shiho, who was not very sure about this, looked at Gao Yuan's expression and tried her best to remain calm. After all, this was to negotiate with Akai Shuichi, so it was better not to make unnecessary reactions. Anyway... She had plenty of opportunities to ask Gao Yuan...

At this point, Akai Shuichi had already begun to waver in his heart because of what Gao Yuan said. He was thinking whether he should take advantage of the fact that there were only two people on the other side and no one else was around, and try to win them over to his side. Then he didn't need to consider other issues for the time being.

In any case, relying on my own force, I might be able to control the situation...

Although it may not make sense to say this, at least, although there are two people on the other side, the only one we need to worry about is the man in black...

  Thinking of this, Akai Shuichi tried to appear calm, and expressed some disdain for the other party's statement that "he will decide the direction of my plan":

"Heh, a guy who doesn't even dare to show his true face is not trustworthy... At least, he should let us know who we are working with so that we can continue the conversation... Isn't that right?"

As he said this, Akai Shuichi seemed to have made up his mind not to give up the initiative in this matter so easily. At the same time, he was secretly observing the opponent to confirm whether the opponent would reveal any flaws so that he could win with one strike.

"Humph--"

However, facing Akai Shuichi's reaction, Gao Yuan, whose figure was shrouded in the "Hermit", could not help but sneer -

Sure enough, there is not much point in chatting with this guy like this. After all, he is an ace agent of the FBI. How could he trust us easily?

Forget it. Anyway, from the beginning, I didn't intend to convince the other party so easily. In the final analysis, all this -

"People like us won't be easily persuaded by the other party, right? In this case, let's try a more direct approach! It just so happens that I also plan to fulfill a promise to Mingmei..."

Gao Yuan said this in a voice that had been mechanically transformed. Miyano Shiho, who heard this, immediately took out a tape recorder and played a recording.

"You sisters are in this situation today. In the final analysis, everything can be blamed on the FBI agent who escaped from the organization two years ago. I can't do anything about this for now, but I promise that if I see him in the future, I will beat up such an irresponsible man for you. How about it?"

Before Akai Shuichi understood what the other party was talking about, he heard a conversation coming out of the recorder. He could tell from the voice that the person who said it was the hidden man in front of him, and what he said...

Who are you talking about yourself with?

At this moment, Akai Shuichi had a strong premonition and had anticipated what would happen next -

"Well... then, please don't hit me too hard."

Then, another female voice came from the recorder, responding to what the person in front of him had just said.

After hearing this voice, Akai Shuichi was stunned, because that voice was indeed his ex-girlfriend——

  The voice of Akemi Miyano!

"So, Akai Shuichi, come on! I'm here to fulfill my promise to her and beat you up!" (End of this chapter)
