Conan Rick's Investigator

Everyone climbed up one by one until they reached the deck of the ship.

There was no one on the huge deck of the ship, but a faint roar could be heard below the deck, indicating that the ship was still in operation.

While everyone was exploring on the deck, a pair of figures were crouching on the edge of the stairs on the forecastle not far away.

"Just as Gin said, a rat has sneaked onto the ship..."

A cruel smile appeared on Chianti's lips, the crosshairs of the scope were aimed at Akai Shuichi's head first, and his finger slowly pulled the trigger.

But just as she was about to pull the trigger, something hard suddenly pressed against her head.

Chianti's expression froze for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw that it was his long-time partner, Cohen, who was pointing a gun at his head.

"Cohen? What are you doing?"

"Chianti, you are an excellent sniper and a good partner...it's just that our positions are not the same."

Cohen took off his sunglasses with one hand, revealing a pair of gloomy and dull eyes, except that his eyeballs were a little more protruding than those of normal people.

Then he unzipped his stand-up collar vest, revealing an even more shocking scene.

On the slender neck, there are several cracks that look like skin wrinkles, or like the gills of a fish.

Seeing this scene, Chianti's expression was stunned and his voice trembled a little.

“Who are you…?”

But before she could finish her words, Cohen suddenly slapped Chianti on the neck.

Chianti fainted in response.

Cohen quickly picked up the two sniper rifles, then walked up the stairs to the deck to meet Qin Zhibo and others.

When they saw Cohen coming down the stairs, Furiya Rei, Akai Shuichi and others immediately raised their pistols.

It was Qin Zhibo who saw through the other party's identity and quickly stopped them.

"Wait a minute, it's one of ours."

This made Vermouth behind her wonder. All the undercover agents lurking in the organization should be here. Are there any “insiders” in the organization?

When she got closer, Vermouth realized that it was Cohen, one of the organization's ace snipers.

"Cohen, why are you also..."

Vermouth looked at Cohen in astonishment.

In her impression, Cohen was one of the few "honest men" in the organization. Although he had fallen out with her because of the Calvados incident, he was at least loyal to the organization.

Cohen, who saw Vermouth, also showed a hint of surprise and asked Qin Zhibo, "Why is Vermouth here?"

"We captured her on the organization's submarine, and now she is willing to cooperate with us to fight the organization together."

Cohen was silent for a second, then said calmly, "Don't blame me for not reminding you that this woman has no credibility at all..."

"She could betray us at any time."

"Of course I know that."

Qin Zhibo said this while turning his head to look at Conan meaningfully.

"So I took 'insurance'..."

I have a stomach flu and have been resting for a whole day. I finally have the energy to write...

Chapter 1514 Infiltration × Wushuang?

"Insurance……"

Cohen responded woodenly and didn't ask any more questions.

"Gin and Vodka have gone to the cabin below. As for the specific situation in the cabin and how many people are there, I don't know."

"Where's my medicine?"

Qin Zhibo took out a box of capsules from his arms and threw it into Cohen's palm.

Cohen picked up the medicine, picked out a capsule, and swallowed it directly into his throat.

Invisible to the naked eye, the seam on Cohen's neck was slowly healing inside the collar of his vest.

This was something that Walter Marsh Jr. told Qin Zhibo at the previous meeting.

Cohen is also of Innsmouth blood. If he does not take targeted drugs for a long time, his body will evolve towards a deep diver.

It has been a while since I last brought medicine to Cohen.

So Walter Marsh Jr. entrusted Qin Zhibo to bring the targeted drug to Cohen if he met him.

After taking the drug, Cohen's voice seemed to change a little.

"I'll lead the way for you..."

"But how far you can go after that depends on you."

Cohen led everyone to the stairs on the side of the deck. Going down the stairs was an ordinary-looking iron door.

After pushing open the iron gate and walking a few meters forward, there is a high-tech automatic door that requires scanning the access card.

Cohen pulled an access card from the flip pocket of his vest, swiped it on the side, and the access was automatically released.

Behind the automatic door is an ordinary-looking ship's cabin corridor with a rubber floor and metal pipes running along the walls.

Qin Zhibo looked inside and at first glance he saw the surveillance camera hanging on the ceiling in the middle of the corridor.

The surveillance camera was facing the cabin door, and both sides stared at each other, creating an awkward situation for a moment.

It seems that sneaking in secretly is impossible...

Piu.

The next second, Qin Zhibo raised his submachine gun and smashed the camera on the ceiling.

Now that things have come to this, whether it is infiltration or invincibility, we must move forward.

Several people entered the corridor, leaving only Cohen standing outside the cabin door.

"Aren't you going to come in?" Qin Zhibo asked, turning around.

"No, my mission is to assist you here..."

Cohen stood there expressionlessly until the hatch closed automatically.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo and others could only move on.

According to Vermouth's description, the upper area of ​​the ship is basically the same as the cabin of an ordinary ocean-going ship.

The truly unique area is the area under the second deck, which is the organization’s most important laboratory.

19 years ago, the Miyano couple's laboratory was set up on this ship, and it was here that Vermouth herself received an injection of the precursor of Drug A.

According to Vermouth's own understanding, there are many versions of Drug A.

These drugs are collectively called the "APTX" series, and different numerical suffixes correspond to different versions with different effects.

Most of these effects are effective in prolonging life and enhancing physical fitness.

The reason why the organization used "APTX-4869" as a deadly poison was because "-4869" was actually a failed model.

After long-term experiments organized by the organization, it was found that this drug not only failed to prolong life, but would kill people immediately. Even the most advanced toxicology tests could not detect its toxicity.

Adhering to the principle of making the best use of medicine, this drug was used by the organization as poison in assassinations.

"As for why you, cool guy, were able to regain your youth after taking it, I think it's because -4869 can only trigger this side effect in the genes of a very small number of people..."

Vermouth didn't know that Conan's genes were related to the boss of the organization.

"Then do you know if there is an antidote for this medicine?" Conan asked as they walked.

Vermouth shook her head. "As far as I know, there shouldn't be..."

"Since this drug has been considered a deadly poison from the beginning, how could an antidote be developed for it?"

"Was it that 'Shirley' who told you there was a cure?"

Conan knew that the "Sherry" that Vermouth was talking about was Haibara Ai.

Now he also knows that the organization's code name can be inherited. Haibara Ai's code name is inherited from her mother, Miyano Elena.

Conan's face darkened. "No, she didn't say that..."

"But she did develop a temporary antidote, it's just very short-lived."

Vermouth's expression changed slightly.

Just as Vermouth and Conan were walking in the middle of the crowd and talking in a low voice, Akai Shuichi and Furuya Rei, who were walking in the front to explore the way, suddenly stopped.

In the engine room in front, a pair of figures were seen blocking the passage to the lower cabin.

One of the two figures was wearing a black windbreaker, and the other was a burly man wearing a suit.

It's gin and vodka!

Akai Shuichi and Furuya Rei saw each other's identities and immediately pulled the trigger.

In an instant, bullets spurted out from the muzzle of the submachine gun, and the dark mechanic cabin was suddenly filled with flames.

Gin and Vodka also immediately hid behind the lathe nearby.

"Vermouth, you have become a traitor to the organization after all..."

"I told you that if you do anything that goes against the interests of the organization, I will personally take care of you!"

Gin's cold roar echoed in the engine room.

The next second, Gin and Vodka, who were hiding behind the machine tool, stood up at the same time and fired back.

Gin held an AR15 automatic rifle in each hand, and the gushing flames illuminated his ferocious face.

Qin Zhibo and others immediately hid behind the surrounding shelters. Vermouth's movements were just slightly slowed down, and her shoulder was grazed by a flying bullet.

"Being held back like this is not a solution..."

"When he runs out of bullets, we will suppress him with firepower, and then you go into the lower cabin first."

"Mary and I will hold them off."

Akai Tsutomu squatted behind the machine tool and conveyed his ideas to everyone.

Akai Shuichi immediately replied: "I'll stay too."

Looking at his eldest son, who had a blank expression but determined eyes, Akai Wuwu nodded.

"it is good."

"Then we'll go over together later..."

As the bullets in the AR15 rifle's magazine were emptied, the entire cabin fell silent in an instant.

But this silence only lasted for a moment, and was immediately replaced by the sharp sound of submachine gun fire.

Qin Zhibo and others, holding submachine guns, rushed towards the machine tool where Gin and Vodka were hiding.

Dense bullets rained down like raindrops, and Gin and Vodka had to give up their position at the entrance of the passage and move deeper into the cabin.

Qin Zhibo, Conan, Vermouth, and Fūya Zero took the opportunity to sneak into the passage.

The four of them ran to the end of the passage, and there was still a hatch with its own access control system.

However, this hatch cannot scan access cards, but is equipped with iris scanning.

Vermouth simply bandaged the bullet wound on her shoulder with a cloth, then walked to the scanner and bent over to stare at it.

As a red light moved back and forth across Vermouth's pupils, the access control was lifted.

The hatch opens slowly.

As the cabin door opened, a figure standing behind the door appeared in everyone's sight.

The other person had a handsome face, but with shabby medium-length hair and a beard.

When he saw this man's face, Fōtani Rei's pupils widened instantly.

Scotch!
