Isn't it very scientific to use the Death Note to kill people?

"can."

"Stay in the spot I told you to and observe carefully."

After he hung up the phone, he glanced at the vodka.

"When we get there, you can go in by yourself first."

"...Okay, big brother."

Vodka originally thought it was just a routine mission, but he didn't expect his older brother to be so serious about it.

Are you going alone?

Vodka, who was getting a little nervous because of him, swallowed hard.

Lin Jiashu then laughed and said, "Be careful, Mr. Vodka."

"Of course I can."


Chapter 306: Jundu? Hayashi Yoshiki!

Xianqiao Station was completely silent at nearly 4 a.m.

Before they even reached the station entrance, Vodka had Gin and Yoshiki Hayashi get out of the car first, and then he drove to the station entrance by himself and got out.

He tensed up as he opened the car door, fearing that a bullet might suddenly fly over at him the next second.

He entered the station's basement with extreme caution.

The dark underground environment was eerily quiet.

Vodka slowly walked down to the underground storage room. He first shone his flashlight inside to make sure it was safe before tentatively calling out, "Hey, Itakura?"

Are you there?

Vodka stood at the door and called out a few times, but he didn't move an inch.

This guy...

Why have they become so wary?

Conan, hiding in the shadows, felt his heart pounding wildly.

He carefully hunched over to avoid being exposed to the flashlight that Vodka suddenly shone on him.

After a while, Vodka, finally feeling that there was no problem, began to walk in.

"...So this time, it seems that Big Brother and Cointreau were overthinking things."

He muttered something and lit his lighter with a click.

Cointreau?

Conan immediately picked up on the name of the drink.

The fact that Vodka would bring out and put Gin together suggests that Cointreau is no ordinary guy!

As Vodka walked toward the lockers, Conan furtively shrank back. When Vodka reached the vicinity of locker number 32, where the transaction took place, he discovered a check tucked inside.

He immediately went over, picked it up, and saw that it was the check that the organization had paid to Itakura Taku.

Vodka instinctively opened the locker door and saw a packaged CD inside.

"Hey... the goods are here but the person is nowhere to be seen. Looks like they didn't dare to deliver the goods in person and even returned the check."

Vodka grinned and spat out the cigarette butt from his mouth.

Because the CD was stuck to the locker with tape, Vodka had to take off his gloves and use his hands to peel it off.

Conan, who had been secretly observing from the side, gave a stern smile upon seeing this.

Even he didn't expect it to go so smoothly!

"Seriously, my brother's paranoia is way too much!"

“It’s very embarrassing to be caught talking behind someone’s back, Mr. Vodka.”

Lin Jiashu's voice came through.

Vodka shrank back upon hearing this and turned around in surprise to see Gin standing beside him with a gloomy expression, while Hayashi Yoshiki followed behind Gin.

As for Conan at this moment, the instant he saw Yoshiki Hayashi appear, his brain went completely blank.

How...could that be?

That's Yoshiki... Brother?

He almost thought he was hallucinating, his eyes wide open, staring at the scene in complete disbelief.

The unprecedented shock and emotional disbelief made Conan's teeth begin to ache, but before his limbs could stiffen, Gin's icy voice rang out: "Idiot."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to speak ill of you behind your back!"

"..."

Hearing that he apologized immediately for this, the coldness in Gin's eyes intensified.

Vodka hurriedly grabbed the CD from the cabinet and said, "Brother, I've got this."

"Then they also left Mr. Vodka's fingerprints."

"Uh……"

"So you get impatient and start smoking when you can't wait for the person in question, and even carelessly leave the cigarette butt on the spot."

Gin leaned down, picked up the still-burning cigarette butt that Vodka had just spat out, and placed it directly on Vodka's lips.

"..."

Vodka, his face covered in cold sweat, held a cigarette butt stained with ash, unsure whether to puff it out or spit it out.

Lin Jiashu watched this scene with a smile.

Gin had already opened the box containing the CD and discovered the transmitter inside.

"I didn't expect that guy would try to find our base..."

His eyes narrowed dangerously.

Everything was seen through...

Conan listened to all of this in horror.

One is Gin, the other is Yoshiki Hayashi...

If these two people were to team up, I'm afraid I would—

"That Itakura guy, he really doesn't want to live anymore!"

Vodka, increasingly feeling incompetent from the criticism, became enraged and took his anger out on the already deceased Itakura Taku.

"I don't think it was Mr. Itakura who did it. The situation might be a bit bad."

"Did you find anything?" Gin asked.

"Unfortunately, no," Lin Jiashu replied.

What are they talking about?

Conan, who was hiding, was full of questions. To be honest, he didn't dare to have too much hope that he would survive.

But if word gets out that Lin Jiashu is a member of that organization—

Dr. Agasa, Haibara, Hattori...

These are the only three people around me who know anything about the Black Organization, and they've had close interactions with Hayashi Yoshiki. If I die while they're still being infiltrated by him—

Conan grew increasingly anxious.

But because Gin and Yoshiki Hayashi were there, he didn't dare to take out his phone and make the slightest noise.

"You just saw a drunkard and a child run in?"

"Okay, got it."

After making a phone call to confirm that no one was around, Gin quickly took off his gloves and touched the disc in front of him.

Gin scoffed after merely feeling the temperature of the disc and its case with his palm.

"Although the fingerprints have been wiped off, there is still a little warmth on it."

"If that's the case!"

"That's right, which means the other party should still be hiding nearby."

Gin grinned dangerously.

Immediately following was the sound of vodka drawing and cocking a pistol.

!!!

At this moment, Conan's scalp began to tingle.

Judging from the scattered footsteps, he immediately realized that they had split up and were searching the aisles on either side of the lockers.

Lin Jiashu also participated in it.

Gin and Vodka searched row by row, their footsteps deliberately slow and heavy, putting immense psychological pressure on Conan, who was hiding in the shadows.

However, the two were also very cautious. When passing by the lockers from both sides at the same time, they would immediately point their guns at the aisle, and would fire instantly if there was any movement.

"Only the last row is left, hehe... With Big Brother and Jundu here, no rat can escape."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Gin remained unmoved, focusing all his attention on the movement of the last row of lockers.

Conan, who was hiding in the last row, was terrified.

Cointreau…

That's Hayashi Yoshiki's code name!

His heart was pounding, and his lungs were struggling to keep up with his oxygen needs, yet he had to desperately suppress his breathing.

When they reached the last row, the wary Gin and Vodka were shocked to find the aisle completely empty.

Conan hid in the safe at the last moment.

Fortunately, the cabinets here can be opened without a key when not in use.

Just then, Lin Jiashu's voice came:

"Didn't the person keeping watch just say that a drunkard and a kid ran into this place? Given the child's size..."

Looking at these safes, Lin Jiashu's words made Conan feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Chapter 307: I've Been Tricked

"Given a child's size, it's certainly possible for them to squeeze into these safes..."

Vodka's deep, honest voice echoed in the dimly lit basement.

Conan, who was huddled in the lower corner, almost had his heart stop when he heard this.

No.

There's no other way.

Huddled in the cramped storage room, Conan stared wide-eyed, his face ashen. With his heart pounding, he felt the oxygen growing thinner and thinner.

What terrified him even more at this moment was that if he were killed here, Professor Agasa would probably also be killed!

"If it's a child, then they'll hide in the bottom of the locker."

Gin's cold tone concealed a cruel and bloody undertone.

Am I going to die?!

As if he could already see himself being dragged out by Gin in the next second, Conan stared intently at the tightly closed cabinet door, like a prisoner sentenced to death staring intently at the lock of his cell, waiting for death to come at any moment.

However, outside the safe, Gin was looking down at the row of lockers, but he didn't make a move.

Upon hearing this, Vodka was about to squat down and open it.

But Lin Jiashu stopped him.
