Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 291 285. Belmode invites you to a private chat

There were only five people in the meeting just now, so it was a simple process of elimination. Lin Longma Shirley knew them, and it was obviously not someone that Kudo Shinichi had known before.

Gin and vodka are even less likely.

After removing three from the five, only Curacao and Vermouth are left.

"Is it Curacao or Vermouth?" Shirley couldn't continue to judge, because whether it was Curacao or Vermouth, she felt that it was possible and impossible.

"I can't say. I can't say." Lin Longma smiled cunningly, but did not answer Shirley's question.

Organizational survival code: the less you know, the safer you are.

If a member of an organization knows too many extraneous things, that is a real way to death.

"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it!" Shirley was also sensible, or she knew that Lin Longma must have a reason for not saying it.

Shirley, who was not entangled with Kudo Shinichi, suddenly remembered the feeling of being on edge when she went to the lobby to pick up Lin Longma and the others, and asked curiously:
"When I went to pick you up just now, that Vermouth seemed to want to eat me alive. Did I offend her in any way?"

If Vermouth had the intention to kill Shirley after seeing the little white mouse, Shirley would definitely think that Vermouth was Conan's "connection" in the organization.

But the strange thing is that Vermouth had the intention to kill Shirley before she saw the little white mouse.

She had a good memory, and as far as she could remember, she had never known this Vermouth since she was a child.

Why did this woman have such a strong desire to kill her?

That doesn't make sense.

"I'm not a know-it-all. I don't know why Vermouth is like this."

What Shirley was curious about was also what Lin Longma was curious about. He also didn't understand why Vermouth was so hostile towards Shirley.

It was obviously the first time the two met.

The only thing that could connect the two was the drug developed by the organization, but Shirley had only taken over the development of Drug A for a few years?
Vermouth's mission records can even be traced back to thirty years ago - thirty years ago, when Shirley was not even born.

Not to mention Shirley, even Miyano Akemi was not born at that time.

Even if Vermouth is the "masterpiece" of a certain stage of human experiment organized by the organization, it has nothing to do with Drug A, right?

Vermouth's murderous intention towards Shirley would not be false. Lin Longma was really curious why Vermouth was so hostile and even hated Shirley.

"In short, just relax. How can you easily research rejuvenation without side effects?

Let alone the next stage of the experiment, you might not even be able to produce the next special mouse."

"I should be leaving soon. By the way, the organization no longer restricts your personal freedom, so you can meet your sister whenever you want.

Just let the people below do the experiment.”

Before leaving, Lin Longma gave Shirley his final advice. Shirley, who completed the reproduction of the "rejuvenation" experiment, now has a completely different status and importance than before.

Originally, Sulli's organization needed to limit the number of times Sulli and Miyano Akemi, a "high-risk person", met.

Because the original Shirley was "unstable", they were afraid that Miyano Akemi's little thoughts would affect Shirley.

This is to use Shirley's brain and knowledge, but also to keep a close eye on her. However, Shirley, who has become the "academic leader" of the research department, must give her full freedom.

Tough measures are not advisable, the only thing that can be used is gentle measures.

All the preferential treatment, benefits and interests were given to Shirley. If the boss was not afraid that Shirley's sudden rise to a high position in the organization would affect the progress of the experiment, he would probably directly let Shirley become the head of the scientific research department.

It just so happens that Shirley doesn't like either gin or rum, so doesn't this create a three-way competition?
Unfortunately, compared with immortality and rejuvenation, the organization does not mean enough to the boss, so Shirley can only take control of a base and continue to advance the experiment.

As for Miyano Akemi, she was just a idler in the organization, and it just so happened that Miyano Akemi had been a lot more obedient recently.

It's just a good opportunity for Shirley to see the sincerity of the organization.

At this stage, the organization has no bullets for Shirley, but it has a lot of sugar coating.

From today onwards, Shirley will have to slowly get used to the life of a head of a base and a powerful senior cadre.
-
When Lin Longma left the main building of the scientific research department, he unexpectedly saw a Porsche 911 parked next to his Maybach at the door.

Vermouth hasn't left yet?
Just as Lin Longma was about to get in the car, the main window of the Porsche 911 slowly lowered, revealing Vermouth's charming face:
"I didn't expect that President Lin would leave later than me. Could it be that President Lin has someone he knows in this research base?"

Lin Longma didn't know what Vermouth was planning at this moment, but there was no need for him to hide the fact that he knew Shirley.

It's not like he and Shirley had known each other for a long time. It was Gin who gave them the opportunity to meet.

If it was the original Shirley, it might be a bit taboo, but the current Shirley, the boss is busy worshipping her, so is he going to punish Lin Longma just because he knows Lin Longma?

This is obviously impossible.

"I just chatted with Shirley for a while. We are old acquaintances." Lin Longma said easily, and then asked Vermouth:
"By the way, Curacao has left. Are you waiting for someone here, Vermouth?"

"Yes, I am waiting for someone." Vermouth admitted it and continued:

"I'm waiting for you, President Lin."

"Are you interested in chatting together? President Lin wouldn't be so lenient as to give me this little face. We are partners after all."

Lin Longma sensed the anxiety hidden in Vermouth's words. He hadn't said anything yet, but Vermouth spoke a lot as if she was afraid of being rejected by him.

It seems that the boss's desire for Kudo Shinichi really made this Thousand-Faced Witch confused.

"Okay, like you said, we are partners. What other relationship in the organization is more reliable than that of partners?
Lead the way.”

Lin Longma got in the Maybach and asked Shiraishi to follow the Porsche 911 of Vermouth in front.

Soon, the two cars left the research department base and Beika Town one after another.

Toriya Park is located in Toriyacho, Tokyo, and is an old park in Tokyo.

Because Toriya Park covers a small area, and with the newly built Beika Park in Beika Town and the newly completed Haido Central Park in Haido Town, the number of visitors to Toriya Park is becoming increasingly scarce.

Apart from the residents living around the park, few people come to this park specifically for an outing.

Combined with the time that Hayashi Ryoma and Vermouth arrived, the entire park looked empty.

This is not a good place for an outing, but it is a great place for some private conversations.
