Stay away from Conan.

Pisco looked on with suspicion, wondering what Gin's sudden appearance was up to. But soon, after Gin shouted something to the tree beside him, a sound came from the tree, which made Pisco look up in surprise.

On the tree, a man dressed in a black suit and wearing sunglasses was crouching. Judging from his attire, he was probably a member of the organization.

Upon witnessing this scene, Pisco couldn't help but be surprised and puzzled—

Are the organization's people lying in wait here? Judging from Gin's expression, he doesn't seem to know whose orders these people are taking, which makes Pisco wonder.

"Lord Gin, Lord Pisco."

At this point, realizing his presence had been discovered, the organization member who had been lying in wait in the tree had no choice but to show himself. He greeted the two codenamed members who had appeared before him and then answered:
"It was Lord Rum who ordered us to stay here and keep watch."

Upon hearing this, Gin's expression became somewhat understanding, as if the outcome was not beyond his expectations. However, for Pisco, this matter was completely inexplicable, and he did not understand the meaning behind it.

"In that case, let's go, Pisco. You're going to that villa too, aren't you?"

At this point, Gin stopped paying attention to the member in the tree; the other's answer had already said a lot.

"We" implies that there is more than one person here, and since they are under Rum's command, it means that Rum already knows about the invitation at the Twilight Villa today. The strange feeling I had when I was observing this place from a distance was clearly proof that Rum's men had completely surrounded the place.

In other words, at this point there's no need to worry about anything else. Let's just go directly to that Twilight Villa and see what the inviter can do, given that Rum has already taken such measures!

At this point, Gin drove ahead.

Pisco watched this scene with some doubt, but since it was that person who had informed him of this trip, and now that he was certain that Rum had sent people to guard the perimeter, he figured there wouldn't be any problems. So, even though he was somewhat dissatisfied with Gin's attitude earlier, Pisco had no choice but to follow Gin's car to the ancient building that stood alone in the mountains...

……

"Hmm... not just Pisco, but Gin is here too?"

Just as Gin and Pisco were heading to the Twilight Villa, information about their actions was simultaneously reported to Rum by the organization member Gin had questioned.

Thus, it was learned that not only Pisco, but also Gin and other members of these organizations were heading towards the Twilight Villa at this time, and according to the information received, there were at least dozens of them.

This situation was, to say the least, beyond Rum's expectations.

what on earth is it?

I originally thought the letter I received was meant to lure someone like me, a high-ranking member who knew the organization's secrets, to a certain place. But now it seems that the other party used some unknown means to get a large number of people related to the organization to go to the Twilight Villa.

Among them, in addition to well-known codename members such as Pisco, Vodka, and Gin, even spies sent by the organization to infiltrate various forces, as well as many political, business, and academic celebrities that the organization has been in contact with, all went to that place.

The most crucial point is that, prior to discovering this matter today, I had never received any similar intelligence.

It seemed that everyone, as if under a spell, obeyed the invitation of that unknown person and went to the Twilight Villa.

At this point, Rum began to vaguely sense that things were going a bit beyond his expectations, but... the problem was that his men had already searched the Twilight Villa, finding nothing unusual. And now, everyone who had gone there was connected to the organization, yet that guy still hadn't shown up. This...

Could this all just be a farce?
No, something's not right...

People like Gin and Pisco are one thing, but the identities of so many celebrities and spies that the organization has contacted should be top secret. What kind of methods were used to obtain these people's identities in advance, invite them, and ensure that they would not report the matter to the organization, thus leading to this situation?

After all, although it is known that on that day, inside the pharmaceutical factory, the intruder used the organization's computer to hack into the organization's database, the organization's people had already checked and found that apart from the pharmaceutical factory's related database and a not-so-important list that the intruder had accessed, the intruder's actions at the time did not involve the organization's secret information at all.

Therefore, it's impossible for the other side to have such a precise list of organizational spies, and...

Why did Gin and Pisco go somewhere without reporting the situation?

With that, Rum, one hand covering his left eye which was throbbing slightly from thinking, revealed a fierce smile—

Ha, these people don't seem to have any good intentions...

It seems we still haven't mobilized enough personnel!
With this in mind, Rum issued a new order—

"Notify the reserve personnel to take over the duties of the outer perimeter guards. All the original outer perimeter guards, please show up and go inside the Twilight Villa to find out exactly what happened! Why were so many people there today!"

At this moment, Rum's murderous intent was fully revealed. It seemed that if anything happened at the Twilight Villa today, Rum was determined to kill everyone who went there that day...

……

After driving through the woods and crossing a suspension bridge perched on a cliff that can only accommodate one vehicle at a time, the classical building that looked more and more like a haunted house came into view.

Upon arriving at this location, Gin and Vodka found the plaza outside the villa already filled with various vehicles, including many classic luxury cars as well as ordinary family cars, indicating that at least a significant number of the people present were wealthy and influential.

Faced with this situation, Gin, Vodka, and the others who arrived later had no choice but to park their cars in the nearby woods because there were no more parking spaces in the plaza in front of the building. Pisco followed closely behind.

"This... is the Twilight Villa? But why... does it look like an organization gathering?"

After getting off the car, Vodka looked at the scene before him and was so shocked by what he saw that he uttered this remark.

Regarding this point, Pisco couldn't help but say:

“Organize a gathering? That’s not a given, after all… it was that person who gave the order!”

"Hmm? That sir?"

Upon hearing Pisco's words, Gin and Vodka's expressions immediately changed... (End of Chapter)
