Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

In addition, there are some extra expenses that must be incurred for the purpose of the mission.

For example, in the earliest days, Sano treated those guys to an extra meal in order to get their help in finding people. It wasn't much, just a few hundred thousand.

There's also one that's a bit more in the middle, like the ten billion gold mission, where Sano spends money to extract information from the islanders.

This is all the case.

Gin still couldn't quite understand why they spent five million on food expenses during that Black Dragon Society mission.

Gin rarely looked through his memories. For that mission, Sano seemed to have used all the Black Reaper members, amounting to a five-figure number of "tools".

Compared to this, five million doesn't seem like much at all...bullshit!

If Gin remembers correctly, the total reward for the Black Dragon Society's mission wasn't even five million, right? How come he spent five million just on treating the "tools" to meals?

And why were all the food and drinks consumed during the Three Flowers Gathering mission included in the calculation?

Even the money for instant noodles to eat at home?

Would you really want to save a few hundred dollars?

Who was the 100,000 yuan cake for?

I wouldn't even dare to be this extravagant!

Gin's eye twitched involuntarily. After taking a deep breath, he chose to flip directly to the very end.

Hospitalization expenses were two million, snack expenses were three hundred thousand...

"...Why should the organization reimburse your hospital expenses? This isn't like you were injured during a mission."

Upon hearing Gin's question, Sano replied matter-of-factly, "But wasn't it your task to send me to the follow-up appointment that I was assigned? Of course, it counts as part of the task."

Gin: "..."

It seems, it appears, it is indeed true, there is some truth to it.

But looking at the total reimbursement amount that Sano had thoughtfully calculated at the end of the notebook, Gin still felt a wave of toothache.

With Sano's expense report, Gin's mission was essentially wasted.

It's important to understand that the "mission" referred to here is not the reward Gin receives for a single mission.

Rather, it refers to the funds that an organization can collect after a mission.

These are two different concepts.

But thinking about it this way, it seems to make me feel a little better.

...After all, it's just a task. At worst, we can just work overtime to finish it later.

Gin put the notebook in his pocket: "I'll have them reimburse you later."

After a pause, Gin added, "However, if you're going to get reimbursed in the future, try to submit your reimbursements one at a time, instead of accumulating them all at once."

What's the difference?

Sano was somewhat puzzled by Gin's instruction.

Because if you look at it separately, it won't raise your blood pressure as much.

Gin took a sip of his drink: "Just do as I say."

"Oh."

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Sano idly fiddled with his glass for a few minutes before turning his gaze to the vodka that was separated from his glass by a bottle of gin.

"Is Brother Jia in a bad mood? He hasn't said a word all day."

Upon hearing Sano's voice, Vodka, who was trying his best to hide himself next to Gin and minimize his presence for fear of being noticed by Sano, trembled.

"...Cough, I have a cold and my throat is sore, so I can't talk very well."

Vodka coughed, feigning a hoarse sound, and stammered out an excuse.

Before Sano could speak again, Gin turned his gaze to the side and said, "Here they come."

Sano stopped talking and looked over.

Several men in black suits swaggered in.

"Brother, are the people we're going to trade with today from that winery?"

"Yeah, I just don't know who will be coming."

"Brother, I've heard about this mysterious organization in Japan for a long time. I only recently learned that it actually has a name. Do you know much about this organization?"

"The distillery has always pursued a low profile. Even I only had a little contact with them because I had been involved in the underworld for many years. It's hardly something to be said about knowing or not knowing them."

"...But if I had to say, I do know two rather famous guys in this organization."

Several men emerged from behind Sano and his two companions, their whispered conversation quite loud.

Sano thought that now that the person had arrived, Gin would start the mission immediately.

Unexpectedly, after overhearing the conversation of those guys, Gin actually gestured to Sano, signaling him not to act rashly and to observe first.

"Really? Then tell me quickly, brother, who are the important figures in this distillery?"

After those guys found a place to sit down, they immediately started bragging.

"Ha, have you heard the rumor about the people at the distillery?"

"What rumor?"

Sano pricked up his ears. It was rare to hear gossip, especially since it was related to his own organization, so he was naturally quite interested.

Furthermore, Sano had a hunch that this gossip might involve Gin.

While Sano was eavesdropping on the gossip, Conan and Ai Haibara, the two fake kids, were standing by the snow-covered roadside, staring blankly at a black Porsche 356A.

...Conan and Ai Haibara were on their way home after school when they unexpectedly encountered this car, which Ai Haibara said was Gin's personal vehicle.

Having finally encountered such a golden opportunity, Conan was not about to let it slip by. He immediately made a phone call to Professor Agasa, asking him to bring over a tool to open the car door, intending to take this chance to see if he could catch Gin.

Conan glanced at Ai Haibara beside him, whose expression seemed somewhat uneasy. His thoughts drifted back to the day when Gin ambushed him from behind, knocked him unconscious with a stick, and forced him to take drugs.

If it weren't for that guy, I wouldn't have shrunk...

Thinking of Gin, Conan couldn't help but recall the white-haired No-Face who always seemed to be wearing a hat.

I recall that chance encounter with him in the arena that day.

...In fact, after teaming up with Ai Haibara, Conan did inquire about the organization's inner workings, but apart from obtaining the important information that "the organization recently got a name called the Blacksmith," he did not inquire about the information of the organization's members, including Gin.

Perhaps they felt there was nothing worth asking, or perhaps they simply forgot.

Anyway, it wasn't until that day that Conan realized he didn't know that guy's code name, and judging from Ai Haibara's reaction, it seemed like he had met him before.

Most likely, they already knew about that guy.

So Conan then questioned everyone he knew who was a member of that organization in detail.

Gin, vodka, bourbon, the deceased Tequila, and No-Face—these are the five people Conan asked about.

In Ai Haibara's answer, vodka was simply mentioned as "Gin's henchman," and tequila was described as "never heard of it."

Of the remaining three, Ai Haibara gave the most answers.

Bourbon, a veteran member of the intelligence team, is very capable, but Ai Haibara has only heard of him and has never had any contact with him.

Gin, the backbone of the action group, is more senior than Bourbon, more capable, and extremely loyal to the organization. He is ruthless, decisive, and cold-blooded.

And then there's... that guy.

According to Ai Haibara, that guy only recently became a codenamed member, but in terms of ability, he can rival Gin or even be stronger.

In terms of personality, he was not only cold-blooded and ruthless, but he was also extremely cruel.

Therefore, even for a newcomer, the rise in prestige and status is exceptionally rapid.

And that person's code name was—Rye Whiskey!

Gin and Rye appear to be the two most dangerous assassins in the organization in Ai Haibara's perception.

...But of all the organization members Conan has encountered so far, these two are among them. It's hard to say whether to call it luck or misfortune.

After sighing inwardly, Conan recalled a rumor that Ai Haibara had mentioned after he questioned her that day, about Gin and Rye...

"It is said that there are two dogs at the distillery."

"The first point is about rye."

"This guy especially likes to use bombs, and in battle he likes to charge right up to the enemy and fight them. He's a complete madman, so he's called Mad Dog."

Sano, who was originally looking forward to hearing some gossip, suddenly had a twitch at the corner of his mouth after hearing this.

Sano himself was aware that he was being called a mad dog.

But no one has ever dared to mention those two words in front of Sano.

Because those who dared to mention it are all gone.

Noticing that Gin and Vodka's gazes were subtly turning towards him, Sano exhaled and drew his gun.

"Don't rush to make a move. We still have a transaction to complete later. We'll talk about it after the transaction is finished."

Chapter 228, Chapter 227: What are you doing walking on the sidewalk, you criminal!

Gin reached out and pressed down on Sano's gun, saying.

"Hey, didn't they say there were two dogs? The first one is this mad dog, and what's the second one?"

The gossip started again.

The person in charge of gossip immediately laughed: "The second one is a guy named Gin. That guy has reportedly worked for the distillery for many years and has always been loyal. He has a great reputation, so everyone calls him the distillery's loyal dog."

"Oh, I see. The brewery has two dogs: the mad dog Rye and the loyal dog Gin, right?"

"Haha, yeah, yeah."

Upon hearing this, Sano raised an eyebrow, withdrew his gaze, and looked at Gin.

Gin's face instantly darkened upon noticing the mockery in Sano's eyes.

...The fact that they've gotten themselves involved in the gossip is perhaps a perfect description of Sano and Gin's current situation.
