Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 215 209. Training base leak incident
"You mean to say that shortly after you finished your training, the instructors and the base administrators who were responsible for your training came to your side and loudly conspired to send the members who did not meet the standards to the research department as guinea pigs?"

Lin Ryoma couldn't hold it in after all and interrupted Numabuchi Kiichiro's fearful description.

"Yes, that's right!" The fear that had been pent up in his heart was expressed all at once, and Kiichiro Numabuchi seemed to have found a brief peace of mind.

At least compared to being caught and used as a guinea pig, being able to die quickly in this jungle is a good thing.

It is precisely because of this that the communication between Hayashi Ryoma and Numabuchi Kiichiro has become much smoother.

Hayashi Ryoma tended to believe Numabuchi Kiichiro's one-sided statement. That was why he thought it was outrageous.

First of all, the executive department has a tradition of sending worthless peripheral members to the scientific research department as guinea pigs.

But it is not easy to be judged as having no use value in the executive department except as a guinea pig.

As we all know, the quality of the members of the executive department varies greatly, and this varies greatly refers to the value of the members themselves.

If what Kiichiro Numabuchi said was true, at least half of the members of the executive department would have to be sent to the research department as guinea pigs.

If there were really so many mice, why did Gin have to conduct "human experiments" on Drug A while carrying out the mission?

Wouldn't it be better to just solve it within the research department?

Besides, what is the training base for Kiichiro Numabuchi? It is a place for basic training for peripheral members of the organization.

Poor performance there will only result in lower ratings and reduced resource investment.

In short, the training base is a place with easy entry and exit, where talents are cultivated.

Those who are gifted and talented, like Kiichiro Numabuchi, will be given intensive training. As for those who are not gifted and talented, like Akemi Miyano, they can become peripheral members after learning to shoot and some basic skills.

As for what happens next, whether he raises his rating by completing multiple tasks through his own efforts, or fails in multiple tasks, making himself worthless and having to be used as a guinea pig, this is all a story for later.

All in all, it is pure nonsense that you were sent to the scientific research department to be a guinea pig because you failed to meet the instructor's requirements.

The training base that was responsible for training Kiichiro Numabuchi was an advanced training base, which was probably specifically responsible for training some peripheral members with specific talents.

If you fail to meet the requirements of the next stage of training, it is normal to be diverted to other training bases.

This is also the reason why Kiichiro Numabuchi often found that some of his classmates who trained with him disappeared inexplicably.

These people were not sent to the scientific research department to be guinea pigs, but were diverted to other training bases.

In short, Kiichiro Numabuchi's instructor and the administrator of the training base have already confirmed that there is a problem.

At least they have an unshirkable responsibility for the defection of Kiichiro Numabuchi.

Lin Longma also thought of another possibility, that is, Kiichiro Numabuchi's instructor and the administrator of the base were using this method to put psychological pressure on Kiichiro Numabuchi.

See how he can endure psychologically.

But Lin Ryoma quickly denied this speculation, because no matter what, the situation of the Research Department was not something that Kiichiro Numabuchi, a reserve member who was not even an outer member, could know.

It is not something that the instructors and administrators of a training base are qualified to know.

If they learned about the situation in the Scientific Research Department through formal channels, it means that they have other identities besides those of instructors and administrators of the training base.

Then Lin Longma focused on asking Numabuchi Kiichiro about the information of the instructors and administrators of the training base, and asked for some more information as proof. Finally, Lin Longma turned off the recorder in his hand.

"That's enough, Numabuchi, thank you for your cooperation. Now it's time for you to go on your way."

"Really? I'm finally free." Kiichiro Numabuchi didn't seem to have any intention of resisting. His lifeless eyes just stared blankly at the dark sky.

Lin Ryoma stood up and signaled Shiraishi to let go of Numabuchi Kiichiro, then turned around and walked towards the police car, as if he didn't notice Numabuchi Kiichiro's little hand movement.

"Go to hell, you bastard!"

Lin Ryoma had only taken three or five steps away when Numabuchi Kiichiro, who was no longer suppressed by Shiraishi, touched the sharp blade that had been knocked away before and suddenly rushed towards Lin Ryoma.

Lin Longma was not at all panicked about this, he didn't even look back.

【Bang bang! 】

The sound of gunfire echoed through the forest, and it was obvious that the person who was shot could only be Kiichiro Numabuchi. Kiichiro Numabuchi, who was killed by the kinetic energy of the bullet, fell at the feet of Hayashi Ryoma.

Lin Longma, who had been walking without stopping, finally stopped, turned around and lowered his head: "By the way, Numayuan, I think there is something I haven't told you.

Real members of an organization, especially those who have tasks to perform, generally do not come empty-handed.

Pistols are standard equipment for members of the organization, but if they cannot use pistols, members of the organization will generally choose bombs. "

"Those two passers-by in black you killed, although they were wearing black clothes, they were really not members of the organization."

That's right, Kiichiro Numabuchi's sudden rise completely fits Hayashi Ryoma's stereotype of the executive team members.

In order to avoid being a guinea pig in the scientific research department, Kiichiro Numabuchi could have defected from the organization.

Could he give up struggling and the desire to survive just because of Lin Longma's few words?
This is obviously impossible.

In addition, there were some signs of struggle and attack at the scene where Hayashi Ryoma needed to kill Kiichiro Numabuchi, so it was implied that Shiraishi pretended not to see Kiichiro Numabuchi's little movements.

Lin Kaka is a man of integrity. If he said he would help Numabuchi Kiichiro look good tonight, then he must help him look good.

What is the best way to show respect to a murderer? Of course, it is to treat him to "purple eggs"!

The two gunshots might not have been heard too far in the jungle, but they were enough to alert the Osaka Prefectural Police sentry stationed nearby.

Shortly after the gunshots, several police officers approached them vigilantly.

“I am a guest invited by Chief Hattori, and Officer Dalong brought us here.

We just encountered an attack by gangsters, and the wanted criminal Kiichiro Numabuchi was shot by my bodyguard and is here now! "

Lin Longma immediately explained his identity and why he was here. Fortunately, Officer Dalong seemed to have mentioned Lin Longma in the police channel.

When Hayashi Ryoma revealed his identity, the police officers did not have too many doubts. After confirming that they were safe, they immediately went to check on Kiichiro Numabuchi.

"I'm sorry, Kiichiro Numabuchi was planning to attack me, but luckily my bodyguard spotted him and shot me, saving my life."

Lin Longma was standing not far from the scene and explained to the police officers who arrived one after another.
