Conan: What's wrong with my Yan Shuangying's painting style?

"Why aren't you talking to me at the outpost in Hakodate? Why did you come here instead? I know it's dangerous to have mold patrols stationed in Japan, but wouldn't it be even more dangerous for you to run to other cities at this time?"

The rum question is a tricky one.

Fortunately, Vodka, who had followed two generations of the Black Organization's ace action team, had very strong qualities in this regard. He only hesitated for a moment and then answered Rum's question with a wry smile.

"Rum, you probably don't know yet?"

"In order to escape the encirclement of the mobile team sent by Hakodate Police Headquarters, Binga used his status as the ace of the action team to mobilize members of the outposts outside Hakodate City to come to his aid. As a result, this action may have exposed the location of the outpost..."

"I don't know who did it, but the outposts around Hakodate City are definitely gone."

————Is this also Binga's fault? So, I'm the one who's ultimately responsible for this?

Rum suddenly exerted force in the hand holding the glass.

There was a sound of snap, and the wine glass in his hand suddenly broke, and the fragments pierced into his hand. Feeling the pain, Rum let go of his hand and let the broken pieces of the wine glass fall to the ground. At this time, Curacao, who was waiting behind him, stepped forward to help Rum treat the wound.

However, the appearance of Curacao did not surprise Vodka at all.

He had discovered long before when Boss Gin was still around that Curacao's status in Rum's eyes was like Boss Gin's status in that lord's eyes, and their loyalty could be said to have reached the extreme, to the level of absolute trust.

Even for such an important intelligence exchange, it is normal that rum does not avoid Curacao.

"Rum, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first..."

"Vodka! You're a loser! You're still in the action team. You're wasting their reputation!"

Rum became even more furious when he saw Vodka's reaction.

He pointed at the vodka with his good hand and said loudly,

"Leave the action team now and don't participate in any of their missions anymore!"

————What? You want me to leave the action team and no longer participate in its missions?!

Vodka's eyes lit up.

After Boss Gin died, he didn't want to stay in the action team anymore. Now that Rum is kicking him out, isn't that just perfect?

"Thanks, rum! I'll be leaving now!"

Under the envious gazes of the sniper and observer behind him, Vodka turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Rum suddenly reacted.

Hey, damn it, if we let Vodka go, the action team won’t even have someone who knows Yan Shuangying’s background, let alone deal with Yan Shuangying!

He looked at Vodka's overjoyed expression and said loudly,

"Baga! You wish! Vodka, I now appoint you as the current ace of the action team!"

"You must take your task force to Tokyo City right now and kill Yan Shuangying!"

Vodka: Huh? I beat Yan Shuangying?

Chapter 483 What does it mean that Kaito Kidd is an organization?

The gentleman from the mysterious organization was not aware that the leader of the Black Organization's action team had become the unknown Vodka. Even if he knew, he would not care about the situation of the criminal organization next door.

He was just troubled by the issue of Turtledove——

"No, how did you end up like this?"

The gentleman rubbed his forehead with his hand and asked the turtledove in the intensive care unit through the screen.

This top killer from a mysterious organization is an expert in both combat and survival, and he was able to survive even inside an extremely dangerous Southeast Asian cargo ship.

The damage he received from the explosion was not very high, considering his physical condition.

However, just as Banjiu left the freighter and was about to evacuate, he saw a group of gods from the Port Police Department surrounding the port. They didn't rescue anyone, nor did they arrest anyone. They just stood there and watched.

For a moment he was unsure whether to go out or not.

In the end, despite his injuries getting worse, he swam across most of the dock under the eyes of those gods, avoiding the people from the Port Police Station and going ashore somewhere nearby.

The natural result was that the wound became infected. If the rescuers had arrived half an hour later, the turtledove might have died.

"...Let's put this matter aside for now."

Covered in bandages, the turtledove, looking like a mummy, had a serious expression.

In fact, you can't tell how serious he is. Because of the burns on his face, he has a bandage on his face, leaving only his mouth, nose and eyes exposed. He looks like a bandaged head and you can't see any change in his expression.

But the gentleman felt that his expression should be very serious now.

Then the gentleman's expression also became serious.

At this time, he felt that the turtledove must have some important information to tell him, so he asked,

"what do you want to say?"

Turtledove said seriously,

"Sir, I was caught in this predicament when I was attacked by Kaito Kidd and his assistant on the freighter! And the most important thing is, I had already shot and killed a Kaito Kidd before!"

————What do you mean you have shot and killed a Kaito Kidd?

A hint of doubt appeared in the gentleman's eyes.

As if he could tell that the gentleman was hiding in the shadows, completely dark, with only his eyes showing his changing emotions, Turtledove quickly added,

"Kaito Kidd was parachuting from flight SKJ865 when I shot him directly in the eye with a sniper rifle. He crashed the plane and is confirmed dead!"

"But I met another Kaito Kidd on the freighter!"

"What does this mean, sir?"

The gentleman asked tentatively,

"Does that mean you didn't kill Kaito Kidd with that shot, so he came out to cause trouble at that time?"

What you said may make sense, but it is unlikely that this thing makes sense.

Turtledove shook his head and said seriously.

"How is it possible? He can survive after being hit in the head by a sniper rifle bullet? I'm a professional killer, you have to trust me."

"That Kaito Kidd is definitely dead, but the one who appeared later in the freighter is another Kaito Kidd. His strength and magic are exactly the same as the real Kaito Kidd. The most bizarre thing is that he has an assistant dressed in black."

"The assistant's outfit is exactly the same, except it's not white. Even the magic props and techniques are the same."

"What's even more bizarre is that Inspector Ginzo Nakamori of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, who has been chasing Kaito Kid, was previously chasing another Kaito Kid. That Kaito Kid was able to use magic to escape in public while surrounded, so he must be the real thing!"

————The one who died was Kaito Kidd, the one being chased was Kaito Kidd, the one in the freighter was Kaito Kidd, and the one next to Kaito Kidd was still Kaito Kidd, so is there any other Kaito Kidd that I want to know?

The gentleman was a little confused.

He felt like he was about to be confused by the turtledove and was a little confused about what the turtledove meant.

This top assassin was a quiet, ruthless, and reserved person before going to Hakodate. Why is he speaking so incoherently now? Could he have sustained brain damage from the explosion? Should we get another brain X-ray?

"Sir, I want to tell you something. Don't be afraid."

Banjiu took a deep breath and spoke seriously, ignoring the instrument values ​​jumping around.

Seeing this, the gentleman realized that Banjiu was finally getting straight to the point, and immediately became serious as well, waiting for Banjiu's next words, and said seriously,

"I'm the founder of a mysterious organization. What haven't I seen? I'm not afraid. Don't worry!"

"I suspect that Kaito Kidd is not actually a person, but an organization!"

Turtledove said immediately.

Such words can be said to be quite shocking.

The gentleman who had originally wanted to say that this matter was nothing special was completely confused.

————What do you mean Kaito Kidd is an organization?

Could Kaito Kidd or Tama be an organization? No, what is this organization for? They're just bored and have nothing better to do than to go against our mysterious organization and get into the gem business, right?

The gentleman who originally wanted to ask a few more questions instantly lost the enthusiasm to continue asking.

There's no hope. Even an expert like this would just be drooling if I asked him more questions. It's better to cure him first.

After saying a few perfunctory words to Banjiu, he ended the call and leaned back on the sofa. He was completely immersed in the shadow and couldn't help but think of what Banjiu had just said.

How to say it, he felt it was outrageous when he thought that Kaito Kidd could actually be an organization.

If one Kaito Kidd is so difficult to deal with, then if there is an organization with Kaito Kidd, then the mysterious organization might as well just disband. What's the point of fighting? It's laughable just thinking about it.

The gentleman rubbed his forehead with a headache.

Now Spider was killed by that damn Yan Shuangying, and Banjiu almost got himself killed while fighting an arms dealer on the roadside in Southeast Asia. There are not many top killers left under his command.

We can't let someone like Snake carry out difficult tasks, right?

That guy betrayed us just by saying so. If a few more codename killers slid down on their knees and surrendered or sold out information while carrying out difficult missions, the mysterious organization could really be disbanded on the spot.

"As expected, we still have to send high-quality goods."

"Let's try one last time. I want to see what this Yan Shuangying is all about. I really don't believe it. No matter how powerful he is, he's just one person. Can one person force me and the Black Organization to give in together?!"

The gentleman made up his mind.

Chapter 484: It’s broken, I’m a substitute!

One day after the Hakodate incident, on the Hokutosei No. 6 train.

Without having to stay in Hakodate with many brothers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to deal with follow-up events, Kogoro Mouri, who was able to return early, has already taken Ran Mouri and Conan on the train car to go home.

It takes about ten hours to get from Hokkaido to Tokyo.

Staying up late during this period has made Kogoro Mouri, who is a natural sleepyhead, feel tired. Before Conan could tell him some carefully made-up stories, he had already lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The Death God elementary school students who saw this suspected that they had accidentally pressed the trigger button of the anesthetic needle and gave Mouri Kogoro another injection. Otherwise, how could Mouri Kogoro fall asleep so quickly?

"Conan, didn't you just want to tell me what you and your father have been doing these days?"

Mao Lilan sat on the chair next to her, supporting her chin with her arm, staring at Conan with some curiosity, and asked,

"Even though Dad has fallen asleep, I can still listen."

————Well, no matter what, at least that guy Hattori didn’t make up the story for nothing.
