He quickly gave chase.

Just as the target was gradually getting bigger and closer in their field of vision, a transport truck suddenly swerved sharply from the far left lane, tilted at high speed, and crashed into them, blocking Daisuke Jigen and his companions' view.

The vehicle appeared to still be burning.

"Ok?"

Daisuke Jigen immediately realized something was wrong.

The next second, a towering flame exploded in the tunnel. Witnessing the flames engulfing everything, Daisuke Jigen could only slam on the brakes.

Chapter 374: Aren't you taking Cointreau way too seriously?

Daisuke Jigen and Conan eventually returned to the palace looking disheveled.

Seeing Conan return so early, Yoshiki already knew the outcome.

—Gin ran away.

The other car that sniper Grapa and his team were in—they probably wouldn't get anything useful if they went back…because Lin Jiashu had written down the names of everyone in that car.

As for the explosion in the tunnel, Lin Jiashu certainly didn't ride his motorcycle around so much in the afternoon just to see the scenery.

Conan felt it was a great pity that this result came about, but Daisuke Jigen didn't think so.

For him, this achievement was enough to satisfy his employer.

Upon returning to the palace, Conan immediately checked on Ran to make sure she was alright. He then wanted to talk to Yoshiki Hayashi about what had happened that day... but he paused when he saw the bandage on Yoshiki's arm.

"It's a pity... we might have been able to catch Gin today."

He told Hayashi Yoshiki what had just happened.

"It's a real pity."

Lin Jiashu's tone carried a sense of reassurance, "But don't think too much about it. Gin's personality probably means he's unlikely to let himself be captured alive... If things get out of hand, he might shoot himself to prevent the organization's intelligence from being leaked."

"They're here because of the country's minerals, as expected."

Conan, realizing this, suddenly looked up at Hayashi Yoshiki, who was also a member of the organization.

“You’re right. In order to secure a stable supply of Vespania ore, they plan to help Gerard seize the throne.”

"Then why are you here...?"

"Don't get me wrong, their actions have nothing to do with me. Or rather, I was just as surprised when I discovered their actions."

Lin Jiashu paused for a moment, then said, "Before you came back, I had already solved the case of Gerald murdering Queen Sakura and Prince Gil. I have also handed over the evidence to Qis. He will not be able to ascend the throne."

"I'm not doubting you, but you disrupted the organization's operations while solving the case. Won't you be held accountable afterwards?"

"Of course, you don't need to worry about that."

"..."

Seeing Lin Jiashu's nonchalant attitude, Conan had many questions he wanted to ask, but he also knew that he wouldn't get any answers no matter how much he asked if Lin Jiashu didn't want to talk about it.

Now he can understand why Ai Haibara is sometimes so "indignant" towards Yoshiki Hayashi.

However, he was also somewhat concerned about the transport truck that had inexplicably overturned and then exploded.

"Speaking of which, Conan, you've been calling Mr. Dimension 'Dad' a lot lately, haven't you?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Conan blushed, covered his head, and turned to leave.

Daisuke Jigen is Lupin's partner and also a thief. In a way, Conan has essentially recognized his thief as his father.

I wonder how Yusaku Kudo will react when he finds out.

the other side

Taking advantage of the explosion inside the tunnel, Gin and his gang escaped and hid in an inconspicuous place.

Gin, Ginrei, and two outer members.

Gin, whose mission had failed, exuded a low-pressure aura that kept strangers at bay. He sat there, disassembling and reassembling his sidearm, the Beretta M92F.

He has repeated this behavior five times.

The two outer members dared not speak, and Qin Lei dared not touch Qin Jiu's brow at this moment.

This agonizing atmosphere continued until Vermouth returned.

"This mission has been a complete failure."

Gin glanced at her.

Vermouth walked up, took out a photo, and placed it in front of Gin.

That's a photo of Daisuke Jigen.

"This is the guy who was chasing you just now, Daisuke Jigen... Lupin III's companion, who was said to have been the world's most powerful assassin."

"Furthermore, before I fled that palace, Gerald's crimes had already been exposed, and the evidence was irrefutable."

Gin frowned.

"...Cointreau?"

With Jundu's abilities, solving cases is indeed as easy as drinking water.

But while he exposed Gerald's crimes, he also severely damaged the organization's interests... even though he had no idea that the organization had expectations of Gerald.

But the organization doesn't care about any of that.

Given the extent to which his interests were violated, it's easy to imagine that the gentleman would be furious.

No, it wasn't him.

Vermouth, however, said...

"That Duke had no chance of winning from the start, otherwise why do you think Jundu and that girl who looks a lot like the princess were there?"

"Not tonight, even on the day of the coronation ceremony, the real princess will not appear."

"The Duke foolishly thought that as long as he killed the princess before ascending the throne, everything would be fine, but the real princess is probably still being hidden in Japan."

Gin paused in his breathing.

He quietly reassembled the gun from its disassembled parts, then loaded the bullets one by one into the magazine, snapping them into the gun.

"It looks like the organization chose an idiot to make the deal."

"Rum's only remaining eye looks almost blind as well."

After Gin finished speaking coldly, he suddenly pointed the loaded gun at the two outer members who dared not speak.

boom!boom!

Two bullets caused the two men to fall to the ground in shock.

Qin Lei, who was sitting to the side, felt a sudden jolt in her heart. She subconsciously stood up and looked at Gin with fear, wanting to ask what was going on. But after Gin killed the two people, he pointed the gun at her and pulled the trigger.

boom!

The bullet pierced Qin Lei's head, spraying a mouthful of blood.

The woman with long legs lay there with her eyes open, her face blank as she fell to the ground, dying with a dazed expression.

"You think far too highly of Cointreau, don't you?"

Vermouth watched this scene in disbelief.

Gin, his face cold, pointed the gun at Vermouth's forehead.

The latter immediately raised his hands in surrender: "OK, OK, I promise I won't spread any information about Jundu's presence in this country."

Gin chuckled.

However, he still put the gun away.

Duke Gerald's defeat was inevitable from the start, but some people in the organization with ulterior motives might not think so.

Needless to say, Qin Lei, one of the two obedient lower-ranking officers, was more inclined to side with Rum... After the matter was over, she would only submit detailed reports to Rum.

If Rum were to find out that Cointreau was also in this country and employed by the royal palace, that blind man might try to shift the blame onto Cointreau.

"Where is Grapa?"

Thinking of Grapa, a sniper, who had just planned to kill Cointreau in the palace, and also to prevent him from being arrested and leaking information about the organization, Gin looked at Vermouth.

Vermouth's lips curled up.

"They're all dead. After all, the car overturned like that... If I didn't know the details, I might have suspected that it was another one of Cointreau's designs."

Chapter 375: A Special Method of Judging People

Vermouth: "Done."

Vermouth: "Gin values ​​you more than I thought. As long as you don't reveal that you were also in Vespania at the time, no one will know."

When Lin Jiashu received Vermouth's text message, he did not reply.

He took out the notebook from his pocket, tore off a page, and set it on fire.

Gimlet is a refreshing and tangy cocktail. The typical recipe is one part gin, one-third lime juice, one teaspoon of syrup, and a few lemon slices.

The flat paper quickly curled up under the high temperature.

Lin Jiashu released his grip only after the words "shot to death" and other time-related text above had been licked by flames.

The falling ashes were quickly dispersed by the wind.

Buzz!

My phone vibrated again.

Gin: "Don't reveal that you're in this country or that you've been commissioned by this country."

Lin Jiashu simply replied with "OK".

Although the Death Note might be a factor, Gin still has to accept this favor.

Yoshiki Hayashi has already learned about the Vespania mine from Vermouth—no wonder the brewery could straf Tokyo Tower with armed helicopters, and there are even scenes in some theatrical versions of Cohen and Chianti taking helicopters around the world to eliminate undercover agents.

The brewery may have the capability to plant spies in the military and air defense departments of various countries, but if Gin and his team acted so ostentatiously every time, they would be too busy cleaning up their messes.

Lin Jiashu left the rooftop.

He had just entered the corridor when a maid respectfully called him to a stop and led him to a room.

There were two people sitting in the room.

Count Keith and Fujiko Mine, dressed like a lawyer.

On the table between the two men were several open suitcases, each containing bundles of cash.

"Have you checked everything and confirmed that everything is okay?"

"Yes, it has been a pleasure working with you, Mr. Keith."

"Is cash convenient? Actually, checks and wire transfers are also fine."

"I don't believe in anything except cash."

Mine Fujiko waved his hand and laughed.

Now that Gerald's conspiracy has been exposed and he has been brought under control, she has also returned Princess Mira to complete her mission.

Keith noticed Hayashi Yoshiki being brought in by the maid.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for your help."

Keith said, his expression becoming more amiable, "As agreed, we will pay you the fee. Would you like cash, a check, or a bank transfer?"

"Please make the transfer, but please don't pay me yet."

"Ok."

Keith did not ask why.

Fujiko Mine was a little surprised: "That's strange. These days, there are people who aren't even enthusiastic about collecting money."
