Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 152: Toru Amuro comes to apply for a job

"It's been a long time... I haven't had such a great time fighting with someone."

Coming out of the cocoon cabin, Kyogoku Makoto said with a lingering feeling.

At the same time, he looked at his intact body and said, "This virtual reality technology is really amazing. I don't know why our country has banned it..."

Why is it banned?

It’s because Noah’s Ark almost wiped out the second and third generations of that group of upper-class people.

Moreover, the impact of that incident was too great. Even with the support of the Suzuki Group, it would probably not be easy for Chunxia Game Company to develop virtual games.

"I lost this time, but I will definitely win back later." Kyogoku Makoto's face was full of excitement.

"Okay." Xia He nodded upon seeing this.

He also enjoyed the feeling of fighting with Kyogoku Makoto.

Apart from anything else, after experiencing the fierce battle just now, he had learned much more than fighting against the fake Kyogoku Makoto.

After coming out of the gym, Vermouth had already finished lunch and ran back to Xia He's room to take a nap.

Nakatsuru Hirota brought a new set of bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen and handed them to Kyogoku Makoto, while Xia He took out his cell phone and called Akai Shuichi in the study.

"Curly, what's the situation?" he asked directly.

Akai Shuichi was stunned when he heard this name. "Are you referring to Vodka? That guy hasn't said a word, eaten a bite of food, or drunk a drop of water since he entered the interrogation room... This stubborn guy must have already prepared himself for death."

"That's it..."

Aren’t you afraid of death?

The Black Organization is really scary.

Xia He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As for the sniper that Shuichi Akai captured near the factory last time, he had committed suicide in his cell a week ago.

The clues were interrupted again. The FBI went to great lengths to set up traps and dispatched so many agents, but in the end they only caught a Vodka who didn't seem to be very smart...

This was really unacceptable to them.

"So, after you left with Vermouth yesterday, you really didn't get any other information?" Akai Shuichi asked again.

"Of course I got it." Xia He answered without any concealment.

But just as he said it, he changed the subject and said, "But I can't tell you yet."

Akai Shuichi: "."

Should I really trust this kid?

He began to doubt his previous judgment.

……

In a high-end restaurant in Tokyo.

Gin and another woman who also had long silver hair sat at the dining table, quietly waiting for something.

About five minutes later.

A middle-aged man with a strong build, his mouth closed but with two front teeth exposed, and an eye patch on his left eye, walked slowly up to the two of them, then pulled out a chair and sat down.

"What's up with the vodka?" he asked.

"I was caught by the FBI at a Halloween party. But I don't quite understand where they got the information from. After all, there are only a few people who know about this plan."

"You mean, there's a spy among us?" The man with the eyepatch raised his eyebrows.

"Just doubt."

Gin lit up his cigarette as usual. "Hiss~~ Calvados and Vodka were arrested by the FBI one after another, plus Cohen's death... In just half a month, we have already lost three members. Don't you think this matter is very strange?"

If there were no problems within the organization, then it could only mean that a remarkable person had emerged from the FBI. Comparing these two possibilities, he was more inclined to the former.

"Do you have any suspicion?"

"Bourbon." Gin answered bluntly.

"Bourbon?"

The eyepatch man recalled Bourbon's appearance in his mind, "Didn't that guy just get the qualification to carry drug A recently?"

"Well, based on his recent performance, he is the only one who is suspicious."

"Really? What about you, Curacao? What do you think?"

"I haven't had much contact with Bourbon, but if you want me to kill him, I should be able to do it before twelve o'clock tonight at the latest." The silver-haired woman replied expressionlessly.

"Forget it, I'll ask the boss."

The man with the eyepatch thought for a while, then took out an old flip phone from his coat pocket.

Not long after, accompanied by a strange keystroke sound, the man with the eye mask had already sent out the email he had just edited.

……

a few days later.

Downstairs of the Mori Detective Agency.

The former coffee shop had long been taken over by Xia He and replaced by the Chunxia milk tea chain.

A young man stood in front of the milk tea shop, glanced at the job posting on the wall, then pushed the door open and asked the cashier, "Excuse me, do you still need a waiter here?"

Blonde hair, dark skin.

He is probably between 25 and 30 years old and looks quite handsome.

There is no doubt that this person is the Bourbon who was undercover in the distillery by the police - Toru Amuro.

His original name was Fūya Rei, and he had a relationship with Xia He that was neither deep nor shallow.

The reason why he is here now... is because yesterday afternoon, Gin suddenly sent him a message, asking him to investigate this place.

The only difference from the original is that the object of his investigation this time is not Kogoro Mori, but the owner of this store - Sakuno Natsukazu.

"Oh, of course, please wait a moment."

The female cashier looked up at Toru Amuro, her face slightly blushed, then she ran into the lounge and called over Hirota Nakatsuru who was taking a nap.

"Um, are you here to apply for a job? Let me see your resume." He yawned and his eyes swept over Amuro Toru seemingly casually.

"Here." Toru Amuro handed over the resume he had prepared long ago.

Nakatsuru Hirota took it and said, "Well, I'm 29 years old, graduated from high school, and have been working in a convenience store before... Oh? You also have experience as a barista?"

"That's right." Amuro Toru nodded, "I learned from someone when I was very young, and I also obtained a barista certificate."

"Very good, it's your turn then." Nakatsuru Hirota walked up to him and patted Toru Amuro's shoulder with satisfaction.

For someone who has worked as a barista, wouldn’t it be easy for him to mix a few cups of milk tea?

"Come to work at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. The work system is two shifts. The monthly salary is 150,000 yen, plus a 25,000 yen meal allowance."

"Do a good job. I have high hopes for you, young man."

After saying that, he slipped back into the lounge and continued to catch up on his sleep.

Leaving Toru Amuro standing there, he calmly took out a piece of paper from the resume that Hirota Nakatsuru handed back to him.

It only said: [See you at the usual place at 9 o'clock tonight]
