Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 81: Next time, I'll hire someone with some brains, even if it's just a little bit.
"Do you have any news about Kiichiro Numabuchi?" In the "quiet room" deep in the bar, Gin looked up at Takizawa who was standing in front of him.

He knew Takizawa; he was an undercover agent that Rum had recently assigned to the Metropolitan Police Department. It didn't make sense that the police had to keep sending undercover agents into the organization while the distillery could only passively catch rats.

But this guy named Takizawa was not very lucky. After entering the Metropolitan Police Department, he was assigned to the evidence room to do evidence management work.

Also, because Takizawa had just joined the Metropolitan Police Department and it was not easy to transfer him directly, he had not been used.

Although not activated, some intelligence gathering tasks that require casting a wide net will still be assigned to them through some means.

One of such missions is to track down Kiichiro Numabuchi, who escaped from the organization's training base.

From Gin's resentment towards the undercover agent in the original book, we can fully see the brewery's attitude towards traitors, which is that they would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.

What's more, before Kiichirō Numabuchi escaped from the winery, the traitors in the winery were at most at the level of external members.

This was the first case of someone like Kiichirō Numabuchi thinking of defecting before even completing their training. Of course, it's also possible that the training was too exhausting, and those who wanted to defect died before they could even leave.

How could Kiichiro Numabuchi's defection be a slap on the back of the brewery training base? It was clearly a slap on the face of Gin.

So Gin can't wait to meet Kiichiro Numabuchi again and let him experience the horror of the organization.

Because of the Kiichiro Numabuchi incident, Gin no longer cares about Akemi Miyano.

What the hell is Akai Shuichi? They can't even find a little guy like Numabuchi Kiichiro. If the FBI knew about this, wouldn't they laugh their heads off?
Now, a hidden player who had almost no chance to start in the short term actually brought back information about Kiichiro Numabuchi!

"Yes, Brother Gin. I got the information in the morning, used it to verify its authenticity in the afternoon, and rushed here as soon as I got off work." Takizawa still felt a little uneasy when facing Gin's knife-like eyes.

In the organization, apart from those big guys who are at the same level as Gin, who else is not afraid of Gin with bloody hands?

"Tell me, where is that idiot Kiichiro Numabuchi hiding now?"

"he died."

"what?"

"Brother Gin, Kiichiro Numabuchi is dead." Takizawa repeated what Gin had just said and took the initiative to say without waiting for Gin to ask for details:

"Brother Numabuchi, that bastard, killed an office worker at the bus stop for no reason yesterday afternoon. The motive given by the Investigation Division was that the worker was wearing black."

Phew——

The one who laughed out loud was Vodka, who was sitting next to Gin. He was really amused by the motive for murder given by the detective from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division.

How could someone kill someone just because they were wearing black? Even his elder brother wasn't that crazy.

Are these cops out of their minds?
Gin also felt that his intelligence was insulted: "Are you kidding me?"

His tone became obviously unfriendly. Although this assassin was Rum's subordinate, Rum would not turn against him even if Gin killed him here.

Takizawa, who obviously sensed the danger, quickly explained: "Brother Gin, that's what the cop from the Investigation Division 1 said, and they have evidence!

Because there were several witnesses near the scene who were not far away from Kiichiro Numabuchi, but Numabuchi chose to chase after a high school student wearing black casual clothes who was the farthest away from him at the time.

The high school student was carrying a child with him at the time, and even after he left the child behind, Numa Yuan didn't change his goal. He didn't even look at the child!

Takizawa didn't dare to keep the suspense any longer, and immediately continued with the next sentence after finishing the previous one: "After Numabuchi chased the high school student into the woods, he seemed to remember that he had a gun on him, but after two shots missed, the high school student took the gun away and successfully killed him.

Kiichiro Numabuchi's body is currently in the morgue. Brother Gin, you can send someone to verify it at any time."

Before coming to the bar, Takizawa had actually taken the opportunity of a business trip to the morgue to verify it.

It was precisely because he had verified it that he dared to come here and "take credit" from Gin.

After Takizawa finished speaking, the "Quiet Room" was greeted by a deathly silence, and then Gin asked softly:
"Are you saying that the assassin Kiichirō Numabuchi, who was favored by the organization, was killed by a high school student after completing a certain level of training?"

What the hell was that Numabuchi Kiichirō's profile like when he was recruited? He was violent, agile, and possessed superior strength. He was a promising assassin.

Good seedling. That's it?

"That high school student?" Vodka thought for a moment and asked Takizawa.

"I went to the Investigation Division and asked people about that high school student. He's just an ordinary high school student. He just has bad luck and is always involved in various murders.

He seems to have a good relationship with Sato and Megure from the Investigation Division 1. Perhaps they developed a bond while spending time together in the field?"

"So he really is an ordinary high school student? Brother, this..." Vodka was speechless when he heard this. What the hell is this punch that hits cotton with a powerful punch?

Gin probably didn't expect that the traitor Kiichiro Numabuchi would have such an outrageous end, but he obviously understood why Kiichiro Numabuchi died so miserably.

"Vodka, inform the people below. When you recruit people from now on, don't just look at their physical talent. At least check if they have any brain damage."

"Brother, you mean" Vodka is not stupid, he knows when to let the leader speak and when he can do it himself.

He subconsciously looked at the black clothes on himself and Gin, then looked at his eldest brother.

"That's right. That idiot Numabuchi Kiichirō probably had a mental breakdown after escaping, and then mistook the people in black for the ones we sent to hunt him down.

So it's no surprise that Numayuan was killed by a high school student in the woods."

"But." Gin's face darkened again. "Where did Kiichiro Numabuchi get the gun? I remember the report from the training base didn't mention that he took a gun with him when he escaped."

Normally, Gin would personally carry out the task of cleaning out traitors. It wasn't because he didn't trust others, but because he enjoyed the feeling of executing traitors.

What if Kiichiro Numabuchi suddenly pulled out a gun and shot him while he was carrying out the execution mission?
Gin is the distillery's top assassin, but he's not indestructible. Even as a former assassin, he's not used to wearing a bulletproof vest all the time. If he were to die at the hands of Kiichirō Numabuchi, wouldn't that be the biggest joke of the year?

Rum, Vermouth, Bourbon, Rye. Wouldn't these bastards make him laugh to death?

Just as Gin's expression was becoming increasingly hostile, Takizawa suddenly spoke timidly, "Brother Gin, I think I know a little about the source of Kiichiro Numabuchi's firearms?"

　　My wrist hurts especially, and after using the ointment, the pain turned into a burning sensation. I'll postpone one chapter today.
