Chapter 112 Faced Witch
A street in Yūka-cho
There was a black Porsche parked on the side of the road.
Gin was sitting in the passenger seat. He habitually took out a cigarette box from his pocket and wanted to smoke a cigarette, but found that the box was empty.
I couldn't help but sigh, and threw the cigarette box into the ashtray beside me, looking at the convenience store across the street.
Why is Vodka so slow in buying cigarettes? Gin was a little dissatisfied.
Fortunately, before his patience ran out, Vodka returned with a cigarette.
Gin couldn't wait to take out a cigarette and light it up. The fatigue from working overtime to clean up the mice last night was immediately dispelled a lot.
He glanced at Vermouth, who was distracted in the rearview mirror, and said, "Why are you announcing your retirement at this time? Now is not a good time. It will only make those FBI dogs more suspicious of you, and even lead them here."
Vermouth came back to her senses, lazily lit a lady's cigarette, took a deep puff, and then replied while exhaling the smoke: "You underestimated them, Gin. They know me much better than you and I think. To be honest, I am even ready to never come back after this retirement."
Gin's eyes turned cold. Although he hated Vermouth, he had to admit that she was capable. How could those rats in the FBI force her to this point?
"You mean, besides Akai Shuichi, there are other mice?"
Vermouth returned to Japan as Chrissie Wynyard, not to mention that she appeared openly at the previous memorial service. This is something that cannot be concealed.
Judging from what Vermouth said, the FBI has already suspected or even confirmed the relationship between Chris Wynyard and Vermouth?
In this case, if they knew that this big star appeared in Japan, they would definitely send mice to follow him.
He hates mice the most!
Vermouth chuckled: "Isn't catching mice your best job?"
Gin snorted coldly. Even if he was good at catching mice, the premise was that the mouse had to show its tail, right? Biting everywhere and bringing unnecessary risks to the organization was not Gin's style.
He is not like some traitors, but works seriously for the organization!
Vermouth looked at the receding scenery outside the window, her eyes moving slightly: "But compared to those guys who hide well, don't we have a clearer goal? How long do you plan to let Shirley hang around outside?"
It is hard to say whether the information leaked by Vermouth was done by the undercover or was Shirley's fault. In any case, compared to those undercover agents who are difficult to catch, it is obviously easier and more in line with her expectations to put the blame on Shirley.
The Miyano couple are dead, Miyano Akemi is also dead, and finally only Shirley, that is, Miyano Shiho, is left and her whereabouts are unknown.
Vermouth couldn't help but doubt Gin's professional level. It's been so long, and he hasn't found any intelligence at all?
"And, are you sure that Shuichi Akai has also come to Japan?" Vermouth asked calmly.
After the incident at Pisco that day, Gin seemed to be neurotic, repeating Akai Shuichi's name all day long.
Gin sneered, "Akai Shuichi rescued Shirley. Regardless of where he got the information from... Shirley's value is all in APTX4869. Without the information about this drug, it would be useless for the FBI to get Shirley. So I am sure that they are still in Japan and even around Beika Town."
"Besides, only that man could have installed a bug in my car."
Vermouth was silent for a moment. She really wanted to say that this old car of yours is an antique, but it is true that anyone can open the door and install some extra things.
But she didn't say it out loud. There was no benefit in such unwarranted provocation. Vermouth didn't like someone pointing a gun at her head, even if the other person wouldn't shoot.
It has been a while since Vermouth announced that she would be taking a temporary break from the entertainment industry under the identity of Chrissy Wynyard and returned to Japan.
At the beginning, her mission was to help Pisco carry out the assassination mission. Unfortunately, the old man was too old and useless, and he was exposed not long after the assassination. She also troubled Gin to let Chianti take the risk to snipe him.
Then she adjusted her identity, disguised herself as an ordinary person and lurked in Beika Town, and began to investigate the affairs of Kudo Shinichi and Mao Li Ran, and look for clues about Shirley.
However, she was shocked to find that Kudo Shinichi seemed to be just like Gin, no, it was Vodka who said that Gin would not remember the people he killed.
Vodka said that they were conducting a transaction at the time and were followed by Kudo Shinichi who saw the transaction. In order not to expose the organization, Gin fed him APTX4869 and then left without caring about him.
Vermouth rubbed her temples. Kudo Shinichi had a strong sense of justice and his curiosity was sometimes excessive. It was normal for him to track down a black-clad man with a suspicious appearance like Gin, and then be knocked unconscious and drugged by Gin. There was nothing wrong with the logic, and it was even very reasonable.
After that, Shirley, the creator and main researcher of Drug A, went to Kudo's house twice to investigate and indeed found that the house had not been lived in for a long time.
So, Shirley changed the unknown status of Kudo Shinichi in the information to death.
There should have been no problem at all, both the procedures and the process were impeccable - except that Gin did not wait there to confirm Kudo Shinichi's death.
But problems soon arose.
Not long after that, Shuichi Akai suddenly appeared, attacked the organization's laboratory and took Shirley away.
How did Akai Shuichi know Shirley's location? There is only one possibility, that is, Shirley secretly contacted the other party to provide information and betrayed the organization.
So, can the words of a traitor be trusted?
No.
At the same time, Vermouth was unwilling to believe that her cool guy died like this.
Others don’t know, but Vermouth knows the truth about APTX4869 very well. Although she knows that there is little hope, her cool guy may still be alive, but he may have turned into a different form.
But... things seem to have gone in an unexpected direction.
Vermouth withdrew her chaotic thoughts and looked out the window bored.
Gin put out his cigarette, glanced in the rearview mirror and said, "You seem to be free?"
Vermouth glanced at the seat in front of her and said nothing.
"If you have nothing to do, go and deal with things in Nishitama City." Gin said coldly.
“...I’m busy.” Belmode refused calmly.
The veins on Gin's forehead bulged slightly.
"By the way, I have to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to get something. Please send someone to cover me." Vermouth said.
Gin snorted.
Vermouth did not continue speaking, she knew that Gin's words already meant his agreement.
