Stay away from Conan.

"Wha...what?"

Faced with Rum's arrangement, Vodka didn't understand Rum's meaning for a moment and couldn't help but ask a question. Rum looked at Vodka with obvious displeasure, which made Vodka uneasy. Then Gin, who was standing next to him, gave Vodka a cold look, which made Vodka have no choice but to shut up, agree to the matter, and immediately start to take action.

With Vodka now in action, Rum turned his gaze to Gin, which puzzled Gin. He wondered what the old man was up to, since it was obvious that what he had instructed Vodka to do was aimed at Camus.

From Gin's perspective, getting rid of an old guy like Camus would be something he'd be happy to see. However, Rum's decisive decision to drag Camus, who has absolutely no connection to this, into the mess...

"I heard that you just took away the batch of finished medicine that Sherry recently produced, is that right, Gin?"

Thus, with some immediate problems resolved, Rum's thoughts immediately returned to the present situation—

Now that person has destroyed the stockpile of "APTX4869" and all the research data on the drug has also been destroyed, the portion of the finished drug that Gin took away before Sherry could create a new finished drug is the only sample the organization currently has.

Therefore, given this situation, Rum would naturally not allow the drug to remain in Gin's hands. Such a valuable finished drug must be properly stored, otherwise how could subsequent experiments be carried out?
Hearing Rum's words, Gin seemed somewhat surprised, as if he hadn't expected Rum to be interested in the drug Sherry had developed.

Ultimately, for Gin, isn't this drug just a poison that kills without leaving a trace?

If we're really talking about killing people, the organization has more methods than just poison. The reason they used Sherry's drug was simply to make it more discreet and harder to track down.

While it is indeed a rare and valuable poison, why would Rum be so interested in it?

Furthermore, upon closer reflection, it seems that the intruder's objective, and the key to his actions, after entering this drug lab was also related to that drug, so...

What's so special about this drug that makes Rum so interested, or is it...?

Rum has considered what to do with this drug.
At this point, although Gin had some doubts about the drugs, he couldn't directly disobey the organization's second-in-command, so he had no choice but to hand over the box of drugs that he had just obtained from Sherry that day.

Then, after receiving the medicine box, Rum opened it and checked the number of medicine capsules inside. After confirming that the number matched the one Sherry had reported to him, Rum put the medicine box away and said that this medicine was too precious to be used unless absolutely necessary. All applications for the use of this medicine thereafter would require the personal authorization of Rum and that person.

Seeing the situation unfold, Gin was powerless to do anything but follow Rum's instructions and begin investigating the intruder's whereabouts.

After all, this matter is still the most important one, and it would be troublesome if this person were to disappear without a trace.

Therefore, having received orders from Rum and a message from that person, Gin, now with extensive investigative authority, began their investigation with Vodka.

As for Rum, after assigning these tasks to Gin and the others, he also remained at the pharmaceutical factory.

Now, although he has a pretty good understanding of the cause and course of the whole matter, just to be on the safe side, he still decided to investigate each and every one of them in detail. Therefore, he still needs to question Sherry and Louise several times.

In addition, Rum is also considering how to use the infiltrator who is suspected of being related to Cointreau to combine with Camus's storyline and make some progress.
Perhaps, while we're at it, we can also deal with Camus... But what about that infiltrator...?

"Hmph, since he still wants me dead, once he finds you, then..."

Rum was filled with resentment. Although he knew the man's current value, he wouldn't hesitate to kill someone who clearly wanted him dead.

Moreover, this is also what Rum can't understand—

After all, in the end, Jundu's grudge is just a personal grudge between him and Camus. If this person came because of Jundu, then why would he want to take his life?
……

It seems that, given Louis's openness about their meeting, the organization is planning to pin the blame for the high-profile car accident on Camus...

And the one who orchestrated all of this must be Rum, right?
This situation was somewhat expected.

After Gao Yuan concluded his operation against the organization's pharmaceutical factory and fled the scene following his failed attempt to kill Rum, he had already changed his appearance and was now closely watching the organization's follow-up actions on the matter.

At the very least, the organization couldn't possibly hide the fact that the car accident happened outside. Therefore, once the police got involved in the accident, and the two rare luxury cars, especially the antique luxury car, attracted the attention of the police, the organization would inevitably take action in order to escape the police's pursuit.

As for how they will do it, whether it's using the organization's connections in the political arena to exert pressure, forcibly guiding the police investigation, or some other means, as long as the organization takes action, that's the direction Gao Yuan can follow to continue his investigation.

However, based on Gao Yuan's current observations, there is no obvious evidence that the organization has used these forces. Instead, it directly used the information about the affiliation of these two vehicles to link the matter with Jin Hua Financial.

By now, Gao Yuan could easily see that the organization was preparing to dismantle "Golden Flower Finance," the culmination of Camus's years of hard work.

Ultimately, Camus, an important member of the organization twenty years ago, is likely to be purged by the organization sooner or later. After all, this has already happened in reality, and Vermouth was clearly behind the scenes pushing for it. It's just unclear whether, after Vermouth, there was some other person's authorization...

Now, because of his early intervention and contact with Louis, and by directly stating his reasons for seeking out Louis, once Louis reveals this information to the organization, the organization will inevitably understand what's going on. Therefore, it can be said that it was within Gao Yuan's expectations that Camus would be pushed forward here.

So, now that I've come to this point, what should I do? Or rather, what can I do?
Is it going head-to-head with Camus?
Or should we continue targeting Rum?

Ha, I wouldn't do something so uncertain, even if it's just a dream right now—

At this point, it's no longer possible to resolve Nishikawa Taijo's request ahead of schedule. There's no reason for me to linger in Tokyo any longer. I should return to the original purpose of this dream and go to Kyoto on Tanabata!

Come to think of it, that was all I originally intended; I never imagined I'd make things this big… (End of Chapter)
