Conan Rick's Investigator

Curacao, who was ridiculed, remained calm and asked, "What about you?"

"Since you are not a discarded pawn, why did you still lurk in this base when Gin launched the torpedo?"

"I was in the control room of the submarine when Gin launched the torpedo, but he had no intention of informing you..."

Stumped by Curacao's question, Binga's expression instantly froze at a very exciting moment.

It's not like he hadn't thought about this before. At that time, he was thinking of settling the score with Gin after escaping back to the submarine.

As a result, Akai Tsutomu showed up on the way, turning the escape plan into a fantasy and he was imprisoned here.

Now that Curacao was mentioned again, it also aroused Binga's thinking.

Yeah, why did Gin order a submarine attack when he was still in the Pacific buoy?

Is it Gin's autocracy?

But in the final analysis, he is Rum's man. No matter how high Gin's status is, he has no power to directly decide his life or death without going through Rum.

Or was this Rum's instruction?

Thinking of this, a few drops of cold sweat appeared on Binga's forehead and temples, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly.

Curacao decisively offered to finish him off, "Yes, Rum also considered you a discarded pawn."

"Even a minor character who can be completely abandoned without hesitation..."

"impossible!"

Before Curacao could finish his words, Binga let out a roar like the roar of a wild beast.

"Nothing is impossible. This is the real you in Rum's eyes..."

Curacao looked down at Binga, who was handcuffed to the chair, with a cold face without any extra emotion.

As a spy carefully trained by the organization, Bingana even mastered a certain degree of disguise and voice changing skills. Naturally, his ability to read people's expressions had reached its peak.

Even he couldn't catch any trace of lying on Curacao's face.

Curacao is like a heartless robot, stating an indisputable fact.

"This is what Rum really thinks of you, a pawn that can be discarded at any time..."

"Although I know that you have always regarded me as a competitor, as well as Gin and all the cadres of the organization who are higher than you in status, have you ever thought about whether your value has been truly recognized?"

"After all, you are just a pitiful little character..."

A hint of just the right amount of sadness and compassion suddenly flashed in Curacao's eyes.

"do not talk!"

Binga suddenly roared, violently interrupting Curacao again.

Now his head was swelling, as if some long-stubborn idea was expanding in his mind and was about to explode.

Binga is an ambitious organizational cadre with an immense thirst for power.

In Binga's eyes, only by rising in the organization can his desires be satisfied, and it is also the basis of all his actions.

Although this path to success is not bright and upright, it is worth it even if it means stepping on the corpses of my companions.

But this is at least a determination to move forward in Binga's heart.

But now, Curacao has broken this lie, proving that this path to success was a lie from beginning to end.

No matter how hard he tried to prove his value to the organization, no matter how many despicable means he used, he could not change the fact that he was a "disposable prop."

Even Gin, whom he disliked the most, was ultimately controlling his own destiny.

"Why!"

"Rum! Boss!"

"Why do you do this!"

Binga howled to the sky, his grief, anger and other emotions erupting like a volcano.

At this point, he no longer expected the organization to send someone to rescue him.

After all, who would pick up a used disposable cup from the trash can?

……

As the invisible "pie" of organizational status was shattered, Binga began to confess.

Compared to Vermouth, Binga's obsession is more obvious and much easier to break through.

In other words, the stronger a person's obsession with money and power is, the greater its weakness is.

Of course, this does not mean that Binga can turn from evil to good and be cleansed from now on.

The reason why he chose to confess everything was simply because he didn't want to make things easy for Rum, who regarded him as an abandoned person, and Gin, who was above him in status and even controlled his fate.

Qin Zhibo can still make a clear distinction on this point.

Since both of them were once Rum's subordinates, most of the information Binga confessed was also known by Curacao.

The only difference between the intelligence they possess is the different tasks they perform.

Binga was assigned to infiltrate the police organization under the identity of "Grace" and became one of the engineers of the Pacific Buoy.

Prior to this, Binga had contacted Naomi Argent, the developer of the "cross-age recognition system", in another capacity and wanted to purchase the system, but was rejected by Naomi.

A few days ago, Binga received an order from Rum to delete the surveillance footage of some people from the system of the Japanese monitoring center.

Chapter 1494 Visitors from the sea

Since Binga had been lurking in the International Police Organization and had only maintained a long-term single-line contact with Rum, he was unaware of the changes in the organization during this period.

This can be seen from the fact that Curacao just put the blame on the dead Rum, but Binga didn't notice anything.

In fact, during the period that Binga mentioned, Rum was already in a state of collapse in the organization. He had no time to escape, and of course he had no time to care about the so-called mission.

Therefore, the person who conveyed the task to Binga on behalf of Rum could only be someone in the organization.

Maybe it's the boss of the organization...

So when Binga told this story, Qin Zhibo and others immediately took it seriously.

Under further interrogation by Kuroda Heibei, Curacao and others, Binga confessed the specific time and place.

Only when it comes to the characters, his answer is ambiguous.

"I just received the photos from Rum, asking me to hide the whereabouts of several people from Japan's surveillance system."

"As for who they are or what they are doing in Japan, I have no idea."

There was no need for Binga to play tricks at this time, and everyone tended to believe that he really didn't know the identities of these people.

But what he said was obviously related to the plans that the organization boss and other cult organizations were about to implement in Japan.

Although Binga did not know the identities of these people, as long as he performed the corresponding operations, access records and operation traces would be left in the system.

So Qin Zhibo directly asked Director Makino to provide Hiroki Sawada with more advanced permissions, which would allow him to fully search the system.

In this way, Hiroki Sawada retrieved Binga's operation records and found out several faces that he had deleted.

These faces appeared at international airports across Japan a few days ago. They all came to Japan as tourists.

Several of the faces matched the ICPO's wanted list of international criminals, including killers, pirates, etc.

There was another face that Qin Zhibo recognized on the spot.

"Enlarge this person and remove his disguise..."

In addition to the facial recognition system and cross-age recognition system, this Pacific buoy also has a facial disguise removal system.

As the name suggests, AI can be used to remove obstructions on a person's face. The lower the facial occlusion rate, the higher the accuracy of AI.

When the sunglasses and hat on someone in the airport lobby in the video were removed, a face that Qin Zhibo was very familiar with was revealed.

"It's Spider."

“He’s also come to Japan…”

Director Makino was stunned for a moment, then continued, "Is it the international killer on the ICPO wanted list, Spider?"

"Yes, it's him."

Qin Zhibo nodded affirmatively, turned around and explained to everyone: "Spider's true identity is the world's number one illusionist, Günter von Goldberg II."

"But his real name is Edward Chandler..."

As soon as Qin Zhibo finished speaking, Sawada Hiroki very intelligently put the information of Günter von Goldberg II on the big screen.

ICPO had previously investigated this person at the suggestion of the Japanese police, but since there was no direct evidence to prove that he was the same person as Spider, they had to give up.

Now it has been confirmed using the facial recognition system.

Because this face is 95% similar to a photo of Günter von Goldberg II in a public performance.

However, this person was not among the faces hidden by Binga.

If Qin Zhibo had not seen his real face, this big fish might have been missed.

Director Makino looked surprised. "Spider was last seen at Nagoya International Airport. Could it be that he's targeting tomorrow's launch ceremony for the vacuum superconducting maglev train?"

"Hmm..." Kuroda Bei murmured, "It could also be the opening ceremony of the World Sports Festival..."

"As far as I know, this maglev train will go directly to Shibahama Station near the opening ceremony of the World Sports Center. If any accident occurs, the consequences will be disastrous..."

Although Kuroda Heibei did not say it explicitly, everyone's mind was filled with the image of a vacuum superconducting maglev train rushing directly into the center of a stadium that could accommodate tens of thousands of people.

If something like this happens, it will probably be the greatest tragedy in human history.

In this solemn atmosphere of silence, the entire Pacific buoy suddenly shook.

The floor of the main control room shook, and Qin Zhibo and others standing on the central platform staggered and quickly steadied themselves.

"What happened?" Director Makino immediately asked the people below.

"It was the storm on the sea that caused a small tsunami!"

The large screen in the center suddenly displayed surveillance footage from the offshore platform.

What was just ordinary wind and rain an hour ago has now turned into a full-blown storm.

The black waves on the sea surface were like constantly surging slime, and the surging sea water, one wave after another, hit the offshore platform.

The crane towers of the four small ports were also swaying in the wind and rain, and the steel cables hit the steel structures, making "bang bang" sounds.

Suddenly, a strange black shadow broke into the ship boarding entrance of the offshore platform.

"Wait a moment!"

Qin Zhibo suddenly shouted, "Entrance No. 27, what does it look like?"

The staff immediately enlarged the corresponding surveillance footage, and the situation at entrance No. 27 became clear at a glance.

I saw a strange, hunched figure just crawling out of the sea onto the platform, and walking through the circular pier towards the elevator area in the center of the platform.

With such a severe storm, the entire base had already issued an emergency evacuation notice, and it was impossible for anyone to remain on the offshore platform.

Director Makino looked a little puzzled. "Could it be that those people who escaped from the submarine just now have come back?"

"No, it shouldn't be..."

Akai Mari stared at the figure on the screen and replied in a low voice.

This human-shaped black shadow looks like a person wearing a black diving suit, and the surface of its body reflects a shiny black luster under the dim light.

But his body was extremely hunched, and his walking posture was rather strange. The swings of his arms were like those of an unintelligent savage, and there seemed to be a bulge on his back that was different from the oxygen tank.

Also, when he was walking in the storm, he actually felt like he was strolling in the garden, not at all panicked by the dangerous situation he was in.

Suddenly, the owner of the black shadow stopped on the pier.

The huge head turned backwards and just met the surveillance camera's gaze.

It turned out to be a fish head!

The ugly, disordered head has many fish characteristics, with teeth protruding from the lips and gills on both sides of the neck.

Especially the huge bulging eyeball, staring at the surveillance camera intently.
