Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 20. Opportunities under Risk
Lin Longma felt that this statement was ambiguous. What did he mean by "Gin is miserable"? Was there ever a day when Gin wasn't miserable?

It is Gin's blessing to have such colleagues as these!
But this time, Gin may not be in trouble. How can an outside member affect Gin?
Noticing Lin Longma's expression, Shirley realized that Lin Longma did not agree with what she said.

She explained softly, “Under normal circumstances, such peripheral members would definitely not affect Gin.

But the situation is different now. Although I don't know how much trouble you have brought to Gin, the fact that he didn't show up today proves that he is very busy now."

"If a peripheral member makes any trouble at this time, it will definitely make Gin very anxious."

Shirley's words are full of expectations for the "beauty" of Gin. As the saying goes, a toad lies on your feet - it doesn't bite, but it just annoys you.

The bad guy on the stage is just like a toad to Gin. He won't have any impact on Gin, but he is enough to make Gin sick.

Shirley didn't know what the peripheral members of the executive department were going to do, but Lin Longma knew. If this guy was caught, it might really give Gin a big surprise in his busy schedule.

Thinking of this, Lin Longma suddenly felt as if he had grasped some inspiration.

Are there many weird organizations like the ones on the stage? There are a lot. The executive department is the place that is least picky about the quality of its members, so that place is full of good and bad people.

Some of these people will be a little more content because of the income from missions, but most of them are still extravagant and will try all kinds of ways to make money when there are no missions.

As the saying goes, if a weapon is in hand, the desire to kill will arise. If these people were capable and upright, they would not have joined the executive department.

So there is no doubt that the ways they make money are basically illegal.

Thanks to the tight police force in Tokyo, the people from the Executive Department have not been arrested on a large scale. And Rum also has an insider in the Metropolitan Police Department.

When members of a certain level are investigated and arrested by the police, the organization will send people to silence them.

Only a small number of these people were rescued, but most of them committed suicide.

It can be said that the existence of these people is like a time bomb that may explode at any time for the organization.

Their harm is even greater than that of Lin Longma and his group. After all, the tasks of the Execution Department need manpower to do, and if there is no organization, they have to use them. As for the preventive measures, it is nothing more than setting up a few more layers of protective walls so that members who are not at a certain level cannot know the details of the organization.

Since the bastard on the stage can find Lin Longma, it means that he is not an ordinary peripheral member.

There are also different levels among peripheral members. Some are just cannon fodder who are kept in the dark and do errands or other low-return and high-risk jobs in the organization.

There are also some people who have some talent in the field of action and can be cultivated. They can be absorbed as formal members of the organization, provided that they complete certain tasks and make sufficient contributions to the organization.

Bad people belong to this category.

If such a person falls into the hands of the police, he will become a potential threat that Rum needs to eliminate immediately.

"What you said makes sense. Have you had dinner yet? Do you want to find a place to eat?"

Lin Longma suddenly changed the subject and mentioned dinner.

"Ate."

"I haven't eaten yet." The two Miyano sisters gave two completely opposite answers. "I have eaten" was Shirley's answer, while "I haven't eaten" was Miyano Akemi's answer.

After hearing her sister's answer, Shirley looked at her in confusion. Didn't they just eat in the mall? What was going on with her sister?
Miyano Akemi winked at her sister. She could see that her sister's attitude towards Hayashi Ryoma was different from that of other members of the organization. When it comes to gossiping, who can compare to the gossip of one's own family?

Okay, okay, you're just going to sell my own sister like this, right?!

Shirley suddenly felt speechless towards Miyano Akemi. It turned out that family members are people you miss when you can't see them, but you despise them when you see them.
Lin Longma didn't care about the interaction between the two sisters and asked the driver to find a nearby restaurant to take them there.

In the restaurant's private room, Lin Longma and Kaneda were not discussing work situations, but were talking more about gossip among members of the base.

Shirley and Miyano Akemi listened with great interest. This kind of experience and this kind of organization was the first time these two sisters had heard of in all these years.

It turns out that not all people in the organization are psychopaths. There are also a few normal people?
Lin Longma understood the sisters' thoughts very well, mainly because the only members Shirley came into contact with all day long were Gin and his men, besides those from the research institute.

The probability of seeing a normal person is really low.

As for Miyano Akemi, she is not as good as Shirley. She is a slacker among the peripheral members of the executive department, and the only people she can see in the rare time are the weirdos in the executive department.

"So what are you waiting for?" Shirley finally asked after Lin Longma had eaten and drunk his fill.

She knew very well that Lin Longma didn't invite them to dinner just for a simple meal. It looked like Lin Longma was waiting for something to happen.

Lin Longma took out his cigarette case and asked the two sisters if they minded him smoking and then started puffing away.

When Lin Longma heard Shirley's question, he did not answer it immediately, but looked at the time. After finishing the meal, it was already 11:30 in the evening.

"How about inviting you two to watch a play?" Lin Longma said mysteriously, and then motioned for Jintian to pay the bill.

At the restaurant entrance, the driver Bai Shi, who had left early, had already driven the car to the restaurant entrance and was waiting for Lin Longma and the others to come out.

After everyone got on the car, it started slowly and returned to Marudan Department Store along the same route.

"Marutan Department Store, we are back again?" Shirley reacted faster than Miyano Akemi. When she saw Lin Ryoma return to Marutan Department Store, she realized what was probably going to happen here.

And it is also related to the executive member they just saw.

Marudan Department Store had already closed by then. The doors and windows of the entire building were closed and it was dark, so one couldn't see what was going on inside from the outside.

Of course, no normal person would choose to go shopping in the middle of the night when the mall is closed.

The commercial street that was crowded during the day was now deserted, with only Lin Longma and a few others on the entire street.

There are even fewer people on the commercial streets at night than on ordinary roads.

Lin Longma briefly told Shirley about the coincidences and personnel composition of this newly established low-cost theater troupe, and then asked softly:

"What do you think the department store, which is closed now, looks like?"
