Stay away from Conan.

According to Shirley's account, after the intruder successfully escaped the pharmaceutical factory by crashing into a wall, he happened to see her car traveling in the opposite direction. The intruder then chose to rush straight at her, clearly intending to crash into her car.

Thus, Rum was now recalling Sherry's account of what had happened. Although he couldn't be certain that Sherry hadn't lied at all, he was at least certain of one thing—

That person must have known he was in the car, or at least he understood what his vehicle meant.

Therefore, the fact that he was able to make that decision so decisively at that moment suggests that he knew very well that totaling his car and killing everyone inside would be an incredibly worthwhile deal for him, since the other party could also be implicated in the accident.

In this situation, the other party didn't even consider their escape route and just recklessly crashed into their own vehicle. What was that person...?

Moreover, Rum was absolutely certain that, apart from his own entourage, even his trusted confidant Curaçao did not know his true identity, and even the type of vehicle he was riding in was a top secret within the organization. Therefore, under no circumstances should the other party know that he was sitting in that vehicle.

But the reality convinced Rum that the other party definitely knew—

Even if he might not know that the person in the car was himself, he must know that the person in that car represented the absolute top echelon of the organization!
Thinking about this, Rum realized that the infiltrator's understanding of the organization was extraordinary, which meant...

That's not enough; we need more details!

That person absolutely cannot escape the organization's control, even if he turns the whole of Japan upside down!
With that in mind, Rum acted with unusual urgency after leaving Sherry and went straight to the place where Louis was being placed. Here, knowing what drug Sherry had injected Louis with, and due to Rum's orders, the medical staff were doing everything they could to force the unconscious Louis to wake up as soon as possible.

And as Rum had hoped, after the medical staff's intervention, Louis, though still a little dizzy, eventually woke up.

"Rum..."

Upon waking up, Louis, still not fully conscious, heard that the person who ordered him to wake up as soon as possible was none other than Rum, the organization's second-in-command. This person, whom Rum believed to be a key figure who could say something, lay on the hospital bed in the laboratory's medical room, murmuring Rum's name.

Then, Rum appeared in the medical room. His extremely imposing aura made Louise's pupils dilate for a moment. She seemed not to have expected that someone like Rum would show up directly because of this.

Louis had no doubt about Rum's identity, after all, Gin and his men were also there behind Rum, and Louis himself knew that he was still inside the pharmaceutical factory. So, faced with Rum's aggressive intrusion and interrogation, Louis could only accept this reality.

“Louis, where did that infiltrator go? You should know what it means for the organization if he gets away. It's absolutely unacceptable, so…”

"It's necessary to wake you up as soon as possible. You need to understand that 'time is money.' Tell me what you know right now! Otherwise..."

"So," Rum asked Louise in a very urgent and threatening tone, as if he was certain that Louise knew something, otherwise her behavior today would be inexplicable.

Seeing Rum's questioning expression, Louis knew perfectly well what Rum wanted to know. After all, his "outrageous" actions today couldn't have escaped Rum and the others' notice, but...

Louis touched his head, looking like he had a terrible headache and was having some difficulty thinking. He said to Rum in a pained tone:

"The matter...I...I..."

Seemingly because her thoughts were in disarray and she couldn't think of anything to say for a moment, Rum's follow-up question immediately followed:
"Then let me remind you—"

"Weren't you supposed to go shopping with Sherry and the others today? Why did you suddenly cancel? Sherry confessed that you were the one who gave up today's meeting!"

So, based on the information Rum received from Sherry, he came to Louise to verify it. Therefore, when Rum directly steered the conversation towards what could be considered the beginning of the matter, Louise, seemingly still a little confused, covered her head, appearing to be in some pain, but still managed to squeeze out her explanation:
"At that time... something unexpected happened, and I had to temporarily cancel my meeting with Sherry and the others that I had arranged to meet today..."

"What an accident!"

Without giving Louis a chance to relax, Rum pressed on with his questions, and Louis, not daring to disobey, continued speaking:
“There was someone…someone found me, and he told me…he was looking for me on behalf of my biological father, and he also told me…”

“Tell me about my mother… my mother…”

"Keep talking!"

At this moment, after Louise clearly said something that piqued Rum's interest, Rum's expression became excited as he stared intently at Louise, urging her to continue.

"He and I, my mother... were the organization's former codename holder, 'Louis'!"

She looked extremely distressed. Louise knew this was a side effect of being forcibly awakened by drugs, and in that state, she honestly recounted what she had witnessed.

At this point, Rum began to understand something—

really!

However, Gin and the others behind him were somewhat confused by these words.

The previous holder of the title "Louis"? Her mother?

What's going on? Louis...

Wasn't she recruited by Camus for training before joining the organization?
"and then?"

Rum pressed on with more questions.

Seeing Rum's reaction, Louis seemed to have no time to think about it and continued speaking:
“That person… he also told me that if I wanted to know if all of this was true, I could ask Camus, because the culprit who caused my mother and the first half of my life to suffer like that was Camus, the one who personally brought me back… He also told me that if I couldn’t verify it with Camus, I could wait a while, until something unusual happened in your organization in the next couple of days, and then I could investigate it myself and find out some things…”

"So, after you learned about what happened at the pharmaceutical factory today, you immediately thought of the 'anomaly' that person mentioned, which is why you came in alone first?"

Rum looked at Louis with delight.

"Yes."

Very honestly, Louis recounted how he heard about the unusual events at the organization's pharmaceutical factory and connected them to the person who had stopped him, which led him to make that choice.

And so far, everything is proceeding according to Gao Yuan's plan... (End of Chapter)
