Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 176 170. You Regret My Shadow
Kir is also written as Kiel.

It is a famous cocktail originating from the Burgundy region of France, made by mixing white wine and blackcurrant wine (Crème de Cassis).

This wine is often drunk as an aperitif and has a moderate sweet and sour taste, making it particularly suitable for summer enjoyment.

In the organization, it is the code name for a female cadre. Kiel is also a cadre in the executive department under Gin.

Although Lin Longma had never met Kiel in person, he had heard many stories about her.

Speaking of which, Kiel is also a legendary cadre of the organization.

Not everyone in the organization can be called a legend, but Kiel's experience can make people sincerely call him a legend.

Kiel joined the organization about five years ago, and no one thought that this would be the beginning of a legendary story.

Kiel, who joined the organization at that time, entered Gin's executive department after training. Originally, Kiel should have been trained to be a killer.

However, the executive department at that time did not have its own intelligence capabilities, and Hayashi Ryoma's Isshinkai had not yet developed to its current scale.

Because the Intelligence Support Department received a lot of inaccurate intelligence, it lost a considerable number of manpower.

The loss rate of manpower was so high that even Gin, a cold-blooded killer, felt heartbroken.

Gin learned from his mistakes and wanted to build his own intelligence force.

Kir was one of the people that Gin favored at the time.

Four years ago, Gin discovered Kiel's hosting talent and arranged for her to be an announcer for Nichimi TV under the name Rena Mizunashi.

In the same year, Rena Mizunashi, who had just debuted, encountered an accidental explosion during an interview. After being seriously injured, she insisted on donating blood to other injured people and has since become a well-known host and reporter.

Also that year, Rena Mizunoshi was abducted by CIA agents while at work and was tortured to the point of being seriously injured. The organization found her whereabouts according to the transmitter that was placed on Rena Mizunoshi in advance.

When they arrived at a CIA safe house, Rena Mizunoshi, who had been tortured and seriously injured, had already counterattacked and killed the CIA agent who tortured her with her own hands.

After being rescued, Rena Mizunashi was sent to the organization's medical institution as soon as she returned to the base. After first aid and examination, the doctor found the ingredients of truth serum in her body.

This means that Rena Mizunoshi, who was abducted by CIA agents, had undergone drug interrogation. This also means that Rena Mizunoshi, who was interrogated by drugs, actually broke free from the control of the drugs with her own willpower and completed a wonderful counter-kill.

After the CIA incident, Mizuno Rena was appreciated by her boss, and the code name Kiel was given to Mizuno Rena at that time.

According to the boss's arrangement, Kiel should be incorporated into Gin's action team and act with Gin.

But for some reason, Gin, who always obeys his boss, does not seem to accept Gil, but continues to let her lurk in Nichiren TV.

Today, Kiel has become the leading actress of Nichiren TV and a popular host in the hosting industry.

If we make a horizontal comparison, Rena Mizuno is basically the equivalent of Yoko Okino in the idol world in the hosting industry.

This is the information that Lin Longma knows about Gil, but from what Gin said just now.
The Minister of the Executive Department seemed to be quite suspicious about Kiel, who had escaped death.

Rum was silent for a moment after hearing Gin's question, and then the emotionless electronic voice sounded again:
“It doesn’t matter whether I can withstand the CIA’s drug interrogation or not. What matters is that the boss admires Kiel’s will.

No matter what, Kiel can no longer be left at Nichimei TV. Is such a good senior official going to be left as a TV host in the future?"

Most intelligence agencies have their own truth serum. The most fundamental reason why this thing is adopted by major intelligence agencies is that this drug directly acts on the physiology rather than the mind.

To put it bluntly, no matter how strong your willpower is, it is useless. It is not like quitting smoking. Once you are injected with drugs, unless the chemical ingredients are ineffective or the tolerance is too high.

Otherwise, willpower alone won't be enough to make it through.

Gin's suspicion of Kir is also based on this.

As mentioned earlier, there are only two possibilities for people to survive drug interrogation by CIA agents. There may be a third possibility, which is that CIA agents do not have a good grasp of the dosage of drugs.

The amount of medicine given to Kil was too little, so Kil was able to maintain a certain degree of clarity and successfully kill the agent.

But since he was able to capture Kiel alone and bring him back to the safe house for interrogation, this agent doesn't look like a rookie at all.

If the dosage of the medicine was really wrong, wouldn't that make it seem like Kil's problem was even bigger?

Before he gets to know Gil thoroughly and understands the situation back then, Gin might not take the initiative to touch Gil because of his boss's attitude.

But she will not be allowed to participate in the core operations of the executive department.

This is the main reason why Kiel has been "wasting his time" on Nichiren TV all these years.

"It's settled. Kiel will be the representative of the executive department!" Rum didn't give Gin any chance to interrupt and decided the matter as the second-in-command.

Reasonable, very reasonable. The use of Kir was done by Rum, who used the boss's banner to force Gin to do so.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Gin does not have any reliable management staff.

If Gin had a senior executive who was good at management, he could have refused Rum's order, but
But they didn't, so they had to acquiesce to Rum's arrangement.

"Rum, you will regret it." Gin snorted coldly and then looked towards the door of the conference room.

He felt like he had had enough of this crappy place and wanted to leave.

"Gin, I am the boss's shadow!" The emotionless electronic sound rang out again, but Lin Ryoma seemed to hear some complacency in the electronic sound.

Okay, okay, is Rum feeling proud now?
After feeling aggrieved for a long time, old man Rum finally felt happy.

"What about you, Lin Longma? Do you have a candidate for the representative of Isshin Society?" Rum mentioned Isshin Society without any hesitation. This is almost a force that is exposed in the open.

"What is Yi Xin Hui? This is Yi Xin Consulting Company. We are a formal enterprise. We pay taxes according to the law every year and sometimes do charity."

There are some things that Rum can say, but Lin Longma can never admit. Even if the entire organization knows about Lin Longma and the Isshin Society, Lin Kaka is stubborn.

Even if his entire body was burned to ashes, he would still say that he had no idea what Isshinkai was.

"As for the candidate for the representative, let Tokugawa Keita (who appeared in Chapter 71) from the Risk Investigation Team be the representative?"

Tokugawa Keita's expertise happens to be logistics management, and Lin Ryoma does not intend to let Isshinkai compete with Rum and Gin in terms of business.

But when it comes to logistics and administration, Lin Longma has no intention of going easy on them.

"Tokugawa Keita? I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"
