Conan: I'm really not the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 175 Gin: My reliable colleague

In a single dormitory.

"Are you hungry? I'll prepare something to eat for you."

Kuroki put down the rabbit, took out a handful of fresh green leafy vegetables from the bag beside the table, and walked to the bathroom.

Every dormitory is monitored, except for the bathrooms, which are also equipped with signal blocking devices to prevent anyone from hiding inside and sending messages or phone calls that cannot be known by the organization.

Seeing Kuroki leave, Rabbit immediately stood up and lay down on the edge of the cardboard box.

This time he saw the photo frame clearly. The photo inside was of Kuroki holding a girl's shoulder.

The girl is about seven or eight years old, with slightly curly hair, similar to Miyano Shiho's hairstyle. She stretched out her hand and made a V sign to the camera, with a lively and sunny smile.

Looking at the face similar to Kuroki's, Rabbit fell into deep thought.

Really a daughter?

...How did Glenn know? Did she remember each researcher's family member?

The rabbit let go of his paws and fell back into the box. At this moment, he heard a special language coming from behind that was neither his native language nor Japanese, but that he could understand.

【Who are you? Sachiko’s new companion? 】

It was the other white rabbit in the box who was talking.

One of his animal messengers is a rabbit. In addition to turning into a rabbit, summoning out of thin air, and creating new hybrid varieties, he can also communicate with or control such animals when he encounters them in reality.

However, players have limited control over animals that are not summoned by themselves. If the intelligence is high, the player cannot control their thoughts and actions and can only do some manipulation with their five senses.

The rabbit jumped over: [Who is Sachiko? 】

[Sachiko is Sachiko. You were brought in by her father just now. Don’t you know her? 】

The white rabbit raised its neck, and he found that there was a red ribbon tied around its neck, with a small candy hanging hanging from it.

Now we know each other... Rabbit murmured in his heart, thinking of Kuroki's strangeness and this new piece of information, he asked: "This belt is so beautiful, is it Sachiko's?" Do you know where she is now? 】

【I have no idea. Sachiko got sick six months ago and has been hospitalized. During this time, her father took care of me. I haven't seen her for a long time. 】

The white rabbit's ears twitch down.

[In order to treat Sachiko, he sold the house. I originally liked the backyard, the grass always grew well there... He also changed jobs after being introduced by his colleagues. Because he couldn't go home often, he put I brought it here. 】

[But I don't like this. It's too depressing here. There's no sunshine. The aura of those people is also terrible. I've vaguely heard the screams of the same kind... Sachiko won't like it either. She likes the sun best... …]

[I hope Sachiko gets better soon and can return to his original job...]

Although the white rabbit is a real rabbit, it still perfectly displays the must-have virtues of every NPC facing the protagonist's aura - answering all questions and giving out all the important information he knows.

Hearing its words, the rabbit fell silent.

How should he explain to it that here there are only deaths in the line of duty (some of them died at the hands of one's own people), there is no resignation, and anyone who wants to change jobs is a dead end...

Faced with the garrulous animal, he ultimately said nothing.

Because it's a rabbit.

...and he himself is just a rabbit at this time.

Rabbit felt his heart felt heavy. He looked down at the group chat interface, thinking about the words, and planned to tell Glenn this information - his daughter was the reason why Kuroki joined the organization, and may also be the motivation for conducting the experiment this time.

Kuroki came back. He put the washed green leafy vegetables into the box and petted two rabbits respectively, with a smile on his face.

The rabbit's head was touched and he looked up at Kuroki.

The black wood in the photo is a bit slovenly, and there is some untrimmed stubble on the chin. Now that he is here alone, he has shaved his beard cleanly.

His smile is almost the same as in the photo. The smiles of father and daughter are exactly the same.

Rabbit looked down at the group chat. Glenn didn't reply for the time being. He was probably still busy dealing with Gin.

Suddenly, he had an idea and stretched out his paw to pat the ear of the white rabbit next to him.

He temporarily transferred the hearing in one ear, turning the animal in front of him into a live listening device.

Since Kuroki is a big suspect and Glenn wants to investigate the matter, he can help within the scope of his ability.

...After all, he doesn't want to rely on his "teammates" forever anymore.

----

The other side monitors the room.

After initially identifying the suspect, Gin did not kill him immediately. He retrieved the suspect's file, checked his academic qualifications and work history, and sent a message to the BOSS.

Vodka adjusted his sunglasses and spoke tentatively: "I don't understand... Ordinary rats are bribed to leak information about the operation in advance. How should we study this?"

Research requires money, energy and huge amounts of knowledge. Even the researcher responsible for a project cannot remember all the information required for the project.

The organization strictly controls researchers' mobile phones and other electronic storage tools, and data cannot be taken away casually. Internal computers also have protection measures: unimportant ones are protected by software, and important information is stored in separate rooms, and all network cables are unplugged to physically isolate them from external hacker intrusions. . “Their targets should be discarded ‘garbage’.”

Glenn, who was staying by Miyano Shiho's side to confirm the suspect's situation with her, replied.

"It is quite troublesome to deal with experimental waste that needs to be discarded. Just take contaminated cells as an example. You need to add disinfectant, seal all the gaps with sealing film to prevent leakage, and then put them into separate garbage bags."

"This accident resulted in all previous experimental results using the same batch of serum being unusable, and even if they were not contaminated, they had to be discarded - I think this is their goal."

Seeing that Vodka was still confused, Glenn continued to explain: "This garbage cannot be thrown into the street garbage recycling station. You must contact a professional laboratory waste disposal company. In addition to organizing business, the company used here also accepts waste from other ordinary companies. Orders have been operating in a normal manner..."

"...As long as the mouse tells the other party about the company, and they have people guard it, they can get some of the uncontaminated waste from the tissue experiment and can be sent for inspection."

Gin was replenished coldly.

"Once something is found inside that would not appear in ordinary experiments, the police or public security will have reason to seal down the pharmaceutical company above, and then follow the lead to block the tissue experiment base below."

The organization's experimental base was not built randomly. It is owned by a pharmaceutical company and has a close relationship with the organization. External communications are also in the name of this company.

There are many entrances and exits to the base, and researchers from different projects have different entrances to work. Even if a rat leaks out, it will be useless. As long as the surveillance camera detects something unusual, a warning will be issued immediately and it will be automatically destroyed. The police cannot block people directly from below.

Miyano Shiho was stunned for a moment: "Public security?"

Gin snorted coldly, his smile full of sinisterness: "Scotch whiskey... this captured mouse is not dead yet."

Glenn remained silent, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

At this time, Gin's cell phone rang, and Vodka looked at his elder brother after clearing his thoughts.

Gin looked at the display on his phone and put away the sneer on his face. He didn't say anything to them, turned and left the monitoring room.

Judging from the expression, it's not the gentleman calling, but if you want to avoid talking to them, the identity of the other party must be unusual...

Vodka, who was familiar with Gin, made a judgment. He turned to stare at Glenn and Miyano Shiho to prevent them from going out to disturb Gin.

Miyano Shiho had been silent just now. It wasn't until Gin left that she touched Glenn's arm: "Is this place unusable?"

Glenn nodded: "There is a risk of exposure here. I have contacted Rum and he said that he will prepare a new base to move all the people who have no problems here. You don't have to worry about this."

"Will it take long?"

"No." Glenn denied, "Mihua happens to have a base that has been vacant for a long time. In order to move as quickly as possible, he should choose there."

If you are a cautious Gin, you will no longer stay in Rice Flowers; but if you are an impatient Rum who pursues quick solutions to problems and continues tasks quickly, you may move there...

Miyano Shiho thought of this and fell silent.

As Gin's younger brother, Vodka had often dealt with her before and was quite familiar with her expression. He thought she was suffering from Gin's PTSD attack again: "I didn't expect you were still so afraid of big brother after not seeing each other for a year."

Miyano Shiho turned his head and did not answer.

Instead, it was Glenn who spoke: "Actually, Gin is not that scary. As long as he works hard and communicates normally, he is easy to talk to. At least he is very emotionally stable..."

"...I feel like he's the kind of person who wouldn't be angry even if a female member told him to strip naked or invite another man for a ride," Glenn added.

Miyano Shiho burst out laughing, and then immediately covered his mouth.

Vodka froze.

After a second, his expression turned to one of utter horror.

……

Outside the surveillance room, Gin knew nothing about everything inside. He was talking to a person on his mobile phone.

"I can't tell you my ability at the moment... In terms of personality, he is one of the few people under Rum who can communicate normally."

The object of the gin review is grain whiskey.

He has a bad relationship with Rum, but he doesn't dislike Glenn, one of Rum's confidants.

In the past, he often dealt with Rum's other two men who were gone. Binga had a bad temper and always wanted to pull him down; Bourbon sometimes spoke strangely and had an ugly face, and he was also a mystic who made people clench their fists.

Compared to them, Glenn was too normal.

Report the incident as soon as possible, analyze and find the cause immediately, and find ways to remedy it. Even if you are criticized a few times, you rarely reply, and you still keep your rationality and mission first...

Gin did not tell the caller about the laboratory accident and only commented on Glenn's character.

After this comment, he heard a soft smile from the other end of the phone.

"Are his eyes beautiful?"

——Qingliu Binguang, who was opposite, suddenly asked an inexplicable question.
