Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Page 675

Koren clearly understood this principle as well. Without any ulterior motives, he grabbed Asai Narumi from the ground and tactfully left the tavern.

After watching Corinne and the other man leave, Vodka hesitated for a moment before putting away his gun and asking Gin, "Big brother, are you really just going to leave Corinne alone?"

Gin didn't reply, but just looked at the man with the scalpel stuck in his hand.

"Gin, what are you doing? Why don't you kill those two bastards?!"

The man roared.

"rye."

Gin glanced at Sano again.

Sano raised his hand and fired a shot, completely silencing the witness.

"I will go back and talk to my superiors about Colen's matter. We will do whatever they say. There is too little relevant intelligence at the moment, and Colen's position is not clear enough. If we act recklessly, killing him might cause even more trouble."

Upon hearing Gin's words, Vodka nodded in realization... He knew it! Given his older brother's temperament, he wouldn't show any mercy just because of Corin's original identity or any potential relationship. Traitors must die.

This is Gin's creed.

Perhaps, sometimes, considering the combined effects of various factors such as effort and loss, Gin doesn't do anything special, or even actively avoids certain situations.

But what if the order comes from above?

Even at any cost, Gin will definitely do it.

"Alright, let's go. The noise here will attract some flies."

Gin picked up the two suitcases, tossed them to Vodka, and walked out.

"On another note, Corren is just like his father—indecisive and soft-hearted. It's better for him to get out of here sooner rather than later."

After getting into the car, Gin first looked down on Corin, then looked at Sano.

"You agree, right, rye?"

"Yes, that's true."

Sano nodded in agreement.

Gin narrowed his eyes: "Back then, it was you who let Corin go, wasn't it?"

"Oh dear, Lord Gin, what are you saying? How could that be?"

Sano sighed, "I only believed it because I heard the murderer say that he killed Corin and couldn't find him... Maybe he faked his death, or maybe he conspired with the murderer to deceive me?"

Gin stared at Sano for a long while before looking away.

...Given Sano's current status among detectives, Gin certainly doesn't believe that he was deceived by the murderer and failed to see the truth behind it.

But I'll say it again.

At that time, Sano had only been in the organization for a short time and had some minor issues.

Gin can tolerate it.

Not to mention that Sano's excuse was indeed barely plausible.

However, compared to these things, what Gin cares about more right now is, as expected,

"Black-clad..."

Recalling his earlier phone call with Rumton, Gin subconsciously glanced at Sano.

"Ok?"

Sano noticed Gin's gaze and asked, feigning confusion, "What's wrong?"

"fine."

Gin turned his gaze away and looked out the window... Hopefully, nothing unexpected will happen.

……

"You really dare to do that, kid."

When Colin returned to his temporary residence and was immediately held at gunpoint, he did not show any surprise, but still obediently raised his hands.

"rye."

Sano pulled his back off the wall and turned to face Koren.

"You're lying to me, Coron."

After the effect of the passerby face was removed, Sano was able to make eye contact with Koren.

"We agreed that you would leave Japan and never come back, which is why I let Asai Narumi go and even created a smokescreen for your death."

"How long has it been? And you've already come back again, and even dared to show off right in front of me and Gin. Putting aside the fact that I hate people who don't keep their promises, even if I didn't hate them, it's still very difficult for me to deal with your messing around like this."

Faced with Sano's accusations and questions, Koren scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

"I know……"

"you know?"

Sano pushed the gun forward: "So you were just messing with me on purpose?"

"No, no, no."

Koren shook his head repeatedly: "I only rushed back because I found out she had a conflict with the organization, hoping to see if there was anything I could do to help."

Sano narrowed his eyes: "Her?"

Corren blinked: "Her!"

"..."

Forget it.

Sano sheathed his gun and found a place to sit down: "Then let's talk about it first. When and how did he/she clash with the organization? How did you find out? Also, what's going on with the black-clad group?"

Koren smacked his lips, lit another cigarette, and considered his words for a moment.

The explanation has begun.

"After I fled, I successfully left Japan through special channels and went abroad. But the Japanese police happened to have their eyes on that channel, and after the operation, they also targeted me... Of course, at the time they didn't know my real identity. They just treated me like a small fish and planned to catch me to see how much business I could generate."

“During the investigation, because I escaped many times, the Japanese police gradually took me seriously and invested more and more resources in me. Until recently, during a confrontation, someone proposed a negotiation with me. He wanted me to work for the Japanese police.”

Sano raised an eyebrow: "So you joined the Japanese Public Security Bureau?"

Koren shook his head: "I certainly dismissed it at the time, but his subsequent guidance on the establishment of a secret organization under the Japanese Public Security Bureau successfully caught my attention."

"A secret organization?"

Sano paid close attention to the term with great interest.

"Ah."

Koren exhaled: "Special Operations Team of Public Security, codename: White Coat."

...White, clothes?

Ok?

Um? ?

Ok? ? ?

What do you mean? A special group set up specifically to target those in black?

Sano blinked his big blue eyes, somewhat bewildered... This thing sounded pretty impressive, probably something the Japanese Public Security Bureau had put a lot of effort into making, but in essence...

Just because of something you made up on the spot?

...It was even a misrepresentation, is it really that serious?

"And then, you joined this white-clad group...?"

It was only at this moment that Sano noticed Coren's white tracksuit, and immediately thought of Asai Narumi's outfit, which was clearly a white lab coat but was rumored to be a white trench coat... Does even this have to correspond?

...The leader, or rather the founder, of this thing.

Is he suffering from some kind of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?

"Ah."

After nodding, Corren shook his head again: "No, I didn't have any ideas at the time, but when I heard that she had joined, I got a little anxious... After all, at that time, I only heard that the White Robe was founded to deal with the Black Robe, but I didn't know that this Black Robe was not the same as that Black Robe."

...As expected, it's pretty much exactly what I thought.

Sano nodded thoughtfully... So, this is the part-time job that Asai Narumi mentioned, where the salary is no less than his main job?

How many people in white are there right now?

Corren gave an awkward smile: "This is a trade secret, so it's not easy to say..."

"Ok?"

Sano raised an eyebrow, and Koren immediately changed his tune: "Currently, there is only one member."

"Ok??"

Sano was stunned for a moment: "Just the two of you, isn't that two people?"

"She is a member, and I am the team leader."

Corren said this with a grin.

...That's true.

Sano couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead. Was this some rich kid playing house? It was a bit too petty and small-minded.
