Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 179 173. Who in the world doesn’t know ( )

"You heard it right, it's bourbon." Rum's momentary silence made Lin Longma extremely happy.

That's right, you can't imagine it, right? Can't guess it, right? Just think about it, Rum, I guarantee you won't say a word while you think about it.

"Bourbon?" The electronic voice repeated Bourbon's code name again.

"Why, no?" Lin Longma raised his eyebrows and sat up straight: "Or does it mean that the choice of my representative can only be made by you, Rum?"

"No, I didn't mean that." The dark figure on the screen suddenly turned his head. He was probably looking at Gin who had been silent since a while ago.

What Lin Longma said could not be considered murderous, because there was not much of a heart-breaking element, it was mainly murderous.

Rum suddenly realized that his attack on Lin Ryoma was not only directed at Lin Ryoma, but also at Gin standing beside him.

You should know that before the Isshin Club, Rum had already interfered with the selection of the executive department representative, and semi-forcefully helped the executive department choose Kir, whom Gin did not like.

If Rum stretches his hand a little further now, Lin Ryoma and Gin will definitely not refuse to join forces to "educate" him.

The most important thing is that Rum dared to offend Lin Longma directly because the functions of the Intelligence Support Department and Isshinkai itself overlapped.

Since ancient times, competitors have been enemies, and Rum will certainly spare no effort to attack this competitor.

But Gin’s executive department is different. No matter how many intelligence agents there are in the intelligence support department, they cannot be used as operatives.

Gin was really pushed too far. Just a slight hint during the mission and those operatives would trap Rum's intelligence agents to death.

In the long run, how many intelligence officers can the Intelligence Support Department afford to waste? You have to know that the cost of training a qualified intelligence officer and an operative is very different.

It takes enough time to train one qualified intelligence officer to train ten operatives, not to mention that many operatives start with skills.

If this really happens, what countermeasures can Rum take? The only thing he can do is to restrict the executive department in terms of intelligence.

then
Then the executive department completely turned to the Isshinkai.

[Damn, this is a fucking troublemaker! ]

"Then, do you need me to ask Bourbon for his opinion?" Although Rum cursed in his heart, he still looked like a dark shadow on the surface.

The advantage of using the curtain to create mystery was fully revealed at this moment - as long as Rum's body movements were not too big, the expression on his face didn't matter at all.

Anyway, no one can tell whether this thing is laughing or cursing from the black shadow.

Facing Rum's probing, Lin Longma answered very straightforwardly: "Then there's no need to bother you, I can tell myself."

".Can."

Rum had a lot on his mind at this moment, most of it about bourbon.

As a key cadre of the Intelligence Support Department, Bourbon is also a representative of cadres who work alone.

In addition to his willingness to work part-time in various places, Bourbon is the embodiment of the perfect subordinate.

As long as you give him a task, he can complete it perfectly.

Logically speaking, Bourbon should have caught Rum's eye a long time ago, and in fact, this is indeed the case. Although Bourbon seems to be outside the system of the Intelligence Support Department now, Rum does often pay attention to Bourbon.

As to why just paying attention instead of reusing.

On the one hand, Rum already has his own confidants, and Curacao and Binga are enough to solve most of Rum's problems. On the other hand, Rum still wants to continue observing Bourbon out of caution.

As a rare member of the organization who seems like a normal person, Bourbon's mysticism makes Rum very unhappy.

To Rum, Curacao is an obedient and easy-to-use tool, and Binga’s ambition is almost written on his face.

When there is no shortage of people, Rum would rather observe Bourbon, a capable subordinate who is hard to guess what he is thinking, for a long time.

Now, while I was watching, someone dug out my corner?!
No, buddy. Don't you feel that this is a test from me? If you pass the test, won't I accept you?

When Lin Longma said that there was no need to ask Bourbon's opinion, Rum realized that the relationship between Bourbon and Lin Longma was much closer than he knew.

As to whether this was Lin Longma’s plan to sow discord.

Rum considered this possibility, but ultimately decided to rather believe it than not.

If Lin Longma is really willing to sacrifice the huge profits that can be seen from the international intermediary company to frame Bourbon, then Rum will accept it.

But is this possible?
Anyway, Rum didn't believe it. Once the seeds of doubt were planted in his heart, they were bound to take root and sprout.

What's more, Lin Longma was considerate enough to cover the seeds with a layer of golden kela.
-
"Lin Longma, what the hell are you doing!" Bourbon slammed the table in the president's office.

When Jintian called him and informed him that he would be the representative of Isshinkai and hold Isshinkai shares in an international intermediary company, he really couldn't hold back.

When he learned that the shares of this international brokerage company he had never heard of were divided into three parts, with the Executive Department, Intelligence Support Department, and Yi Xin Hui each holding one-third, Bourbon could no longer hold back.

What's the fucking difference between this and telling Rum directly that I'm a traitor?
Big brother, I'm being so nice to you and you're just trying to cheat me, right?

His years of undercover work were destroyed in an instant. If his public security identity had not been exposed, this undercover mission would have basically been declared a failure.

No matter what the reason, Bourbon felt that he should go to the Isshinkai's base and meet Lin Ryoma.

If nothing else, he just wanted to ask Lin Longma why he wanted to trick him to death.

"Relax, relax a little, Bourbon. Isn't this a good thing?" Compared with the excited Bourbon, Lin Longma was very calm at this moment.

"Good thing? Tell me what's good about it? I'm almost a traitor to the Intelligence Support Department now!"

The calmer Lin Longma was, the angrier Bourbon became, and his anger was mixed with a lot of confusion.

Based on his understanding of Lin Longma, this kind of thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself should not be Lin Longma's style, right?

Seeing that Bourbon was still excited, Lin Longma stood up and went to the wine cabinet in the office, took out a bottle of Bourbon and put the two glasses back in place.

After the two glasses of wine were poured, Lin Longma handed Bourbon a glass and said, “We all work for the organization, how can we call ourselves traitors?
Even Rum wouldn't dare to say that."

Then Lin Longma asked Bourbon, "You seem so excited, so what do you have to lose?"

"Isn't it a loss that Rum will never trust me again?"

Hearing this, Lin Longma laughed out loud: “Hahahahaha, Bourbon, you really made me laugh.

You have lost Rum's trust. Ask yourself, when did Rum ever trust you? "
