Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 161 Revolving Lantern

Time goes back to one minute ago.

Gin, who was tied up with Curacao and had his back to Xia He, secretly pulled out a palm-sized pocket pistol from his clothes with his left hand, which was still able to move.

Then, he tried to point the gun at Xia He in a very awkward posture.

However, after aiming laboriously for a while, he suddenly gave up and put the gun against his abdomen.

"Want to get information from me? You better wait until next life."

He grinned, sneered, and pulled the trigger without any fear in his eyes.

boom!
In an instant, blood splashed.

The intense pain stimulated his brain nerves.

Gin only felt his vision blurred, and memories flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern...

————(memories dividing line)————

Twenty-six years ago.

"Mr. Wakita, that kid has killed another stray dog, and this is the third time this month..." At the gate of the orphanage, a nun said to a young man in fear.

The young man named Wakita looked at the blond boy squatting by the wall, holding a bloody knife and dismembering the puppy's body. He asked with admiration in his eyes, "Hey, kid, what's your name?"

The boy raised his head when he heard that, his cold eyes swept over the man, and then he shook his head.

"Mr. Wakita, he hasn't spoken much since the first day he came here. We asked him what his name was, but he didn't tell us, so..." the nun continued.

"So you don't have a name? That's right, from today on, you will be called Gin Bar." The young man grinned, "Gin, are you willing to come with me? Not only can I let you eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, but I can also let you experience more of the pleasure of killing."

The little boy didn't answer immediately, but looked down at the wounds on his body.

After a while, he suddenly pointed at the nun and asked, "Is it okay to kill her?"

"of course."

The young man smiled, then took out a pistol from his pocket and shot the nun in the head.

……

"Well done, Gin. The boss has been praising you a lot lately."

Looking at the murder scene that had been cleaned up neatly, the young man, whose hair had become much thinner than before, spoke to Gin, whose head had reached his chest.

"Mr. Rum, is there anything else the boss wants me to tell you?" Faced with the praise, Gin had a blank expression on his face.

"This is the boss's email address. Please make a note of it. He will give you instructions directly via email in the future. By the way, if it's nothing important, don't disturb him casually."

"Ah."

……

"Mr. Gin, nice to meet you. My code name is Vodka."

A new member who was very strong but didn't look very smart walked over.

He scratched the back of his head and said, "Mr. Rum wants me to partner with you..."

"What are you good at?" Gin asked, cigarette in hand.

"I'm good at fighting and shooting." Vodka said confidently.

"can you drive?"

"Driving? Um... I just got my driver's license two months ago."

"Then from today on, you will be responsible for driving for me."

Gin said as he threw the keys to the Porsche 356A to the other person.

"Okay." Vodka took the key and nodded seriously.

……

"Mr. Gin, thanks for saving my life. Can I call you brother from now on?" After escaping danger from the explosion, Vodka said to Gin with gratitude on his face.

Blood dripped from his arm, and Gin turned around and glanced at Vodka. "Um, I'm sorry, Mr. Gin, I offended you." Seeing this, Vodka hurriedly explained, "Actually, I have an older brother, who died when I was very young..."

"Okay." Gin interrupted him.

"But in front of Rum, please try to call me by my code name."

"yes, Sir!"

……

"Oh no, brother, it seems like the police are chasing us. What should we do now?" Vodka, who was holding the steering wheel, looked at the rearview mirror and said with sweat on his forehead.

"What else can we do? Throw out two grenades to scare them away." Gin replied.

Vodka heard it and did as he was told.

However, ten seconds later.

"Brother, why didn't the grenade explode?"

"Did you pull the bolt just now?"

"Pull the bolt? Ah, I forgot!"

"."

"After this mission is completed, you should email the boss to ask for a change of partner, or I will kill you if I can't help myself."

……

"Brother, to celebrate our eighth anniversary as a partner, cheers!"

"Idiot, didn't I tell you to drink less and stay sober at all times?"

"Haha, I'm so happy." Vodka put down the beer can in his hand, "Brother, when we retire, how about we open an izakaya nearby? There are so many customers here, it must be very profitable, right?"

"Hi~~~hoo!"

Gin took a deep puff of his cigarette and thought to himself, is there really such a thing as retirement in our line of work?
But on the surface, he still nodded and said, "You can open it if you want. I will only be responsible for paying the money, and I will not be responsible for anything else."

"Brother, it's settled then!"

Vodka drank the beer in the can, sat on the edge of the rooftop, and looked at the people coming and going on the street below, with a glimmer of longing in his eyes.

————(memories dividing line)————

Time returns to the present.

After looking around on the plane, he did not find any tools that could be used for surgery. Seeing that Gin's breath was getting weaker and weaker, Xia He had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​saving him.

But the news of this guy's death must not reach the ears of the Black Organization.

After all, if we want to find out who Karasuma Renya is, we have to rely on this identity.

So he searched the phone from Gin's body and sent this email to Karasuma Renya:
[Mission accomplished, Shuichi Akai is dead.

——Gin]
……

at the same time.

Ambulance, police car, fire truck...

A large number of rescue workers occupied the mountain road.

Looking at the billowing smoke on the top of the mountain, Conan, who was blocked at the bottom of the mountain, was undoubtedly filled with worry.

"Nene, uncle police, what happened up there?" In front of the cordon, he pulled a police officer's trouser leg and asked crisply.

"Ah, it seems that terrorists installed bombs on the road, causing landslides and forest fires. Uncle is not sure about the details." The policeman smiled and touched Conan's head.

When Conan heard this, his brows, which were already furrowed, furrowed even tighter.

Until more than an hour later.

"A total of two people died and eleven were injured." A medical worker came down the mountain and reported the situation to the police officer on duty. "The deceased are a man and a woman. The woman is called Mizunashi Reina, and she is 27 years old. The man's identity is unknown, but judging from the appearance of the body, he is about 30 years old."
