"It's not your character to give in like that, Bat."
In the dark underground tunnel, the rat's dead body rotted in the stinking ditch, but the people standing next to it seemed not to be able to smell the stench.
"Spider." Bat said the person's name, "I told you, don't follow me."
"Giving up the prey, I nodded humbly, tsk, tsk, it seems that we are not worth mentioning in the eyes of those people."
Three red dots lit up in the darkness, and the faint transparent silk thread reflected slightly under the light.
At some point, the bat was already in the center of the spider's hunting web.
The hunted bat was not in a hurry, and the voice came from another place: "It's better not to fool me with such childish things. The voice told me everything from the moment you squatted in the corner."
The spider was not annoyed, and slowly ate away the dummy in the spider web. The strong corrosive sizzling sound filled the silence between the two.
The bat mocked: "As expected of an omnivore."
The spider web was clean again, and the spider's three eyes were staring at somewhere in the sewer, where the bat's real location was.
"So, what do you think of my last proposal?"
"...No one is willing to succumb to others." Bat said calmly, but the meaning of his words was not as calm as his tone: "We have had enough of this kind of life of being restricted by others."
After working hard to get the code name, they learned that their organization was just a tool for others to make money. It was small and insignificant. In the eyes of those people, they were like grasshoppers that could be crushed to death at will. They could come and go when they were called...
This situation has lasted for more than fifty years.
Spider said before: "We will resist."
The bat opened its mouth silently and responded to the spider.
"Who should I start with?" The spider made a squeaking hunting sound.
Bat couldn't help but think of the aloof young man he had just met, and silently moved the gold ring on his index finger.
"Just him."
But before that, he needed to deal with the tail end of the previous case.
…
Bourbon rarely comes to the candy house to look for Kuroki Jin. The two of them mostly communicate with each other through code words. So when Bourbon, wearing a hat, mask and sunglasses, wrapped like a mummy, appeared at the door of the candy house, okay? Kuroki Jin, who was easy to relax, knew something might be going on.
Taking Bourbon to the second floor of the candy house, Bourbon stood in front of the window wall, carefully lifting the curtains and looking outside.
"That warehouse has been quiet since then?"
He was referring to the warehouse where Jin Kuroki initially helped smuggle gin and was later handed over to the new Pisk.
"How can the organization reuse the exposed place?" Kuroki Ren brought two cans of Coke from below and threw one to him.
"I traced who gave the message to Bat."
Bourbon's voice was very soft, so soft that even with Kuroki Ren's hearing, he wouldn't have been able to hear it if it wasn't for the volume upstairs.
"You have met Shiye Shun from the second group of the scientific research team."
Kuroki Jin was stunned, and his thoughts were pulled back by this name. When he sent Shirley to the scientific research team, he was investigating the intricate relationships in the scientific research headquarters. He got the relationship between the base characters from Shino Shun.
Then his calm eyes stared at Bourbon.
Bourbon: "..."
"Ahem." He coughed dryly, "You know, I am always a little concerned about some news... Besides, you are actually dating Shirley and I haven't beaten you yet..."
"Don't change the subject." Kuroki Ren originally didn't want to pursue the matter of him tracking his whereabouts, and maybe Bobon didn't deliberately inquire about him at that time.
Just don't pay attention... Bourbon quickly continued the previous topic and said: "I found out that half a month before Kaitou Kidd sent the notice letter, Shino Shun used a dead identity in the Intelligence Department to send the mission you took."
When the task was mentioned, Kuroki Ren was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and quickly opened his phone.
"...You didn't turn in the mission, did you?"
Looking at the words "Mission Expired", Kuroki Ren felt like crying.
"...He is helping Shi Kaobing to send out the mission?"
"It should be...what do you want to do?"
Kuroki put away his phone and looked away: "Nothing, just keep talking."
Bourbon felt that the money Shi Kaobing had saved over the years would soon turn into money to buy his life.
"Shino Shun is missing."
Kuroki Ren's brows furrowed, "Missing?"
The scientific research department under Yulu's control has very strict access control, and people without a code name have basically no possibility of getting out. How did Shiye Shun sneak out and disappear?
"The last time I can find him was three days ago, which was the day you added a new mission to kill Kaitou Kidd. He also modified the mission, and then he didn't appear in R011."
Kuroki Jin: "Where is the location to modify the mission?"
"The Scientific Research Department I011 Base where he borrowed his identity."
Kuroki Jin looked at him, and Bourbon sneered: "My territory, the people are also my former subordinates, the system has been tampered with and the alarm was not issued immediately."
It was so miserable, Kuroki Ren laughed unkindly.
"Is there any reaction from Oshika to Shino Shun's disappearance?"
Bourbon raised his eyebrows slightly and said with unclear meaning: "He reported his death, but because he didn't have a code name, it was approved by members of Gin's inspection team."
"Give me the code name of the people in the inspection team."
Bourbon said a code name, and Kuroki Ren nodded to note it down. The two looked at each other in silence for a long time, and Kuroki Ren said quietly: "Why don't you leave and wait until I treat you to dinner?"
"...You are the one who is killing the donkey!"
"I'm afraid it's not a good metaphor for myself."
Bourbon wanted to hit him.
He gritted his teeth for a long time, but still said uneasily: "The bat side... can you handle it?"
Kuroki Jin chuckled: "If they want to resist us, there will be people who want to resist them."
There are not many people in small organizations who can get code names. Every one of them is a carrot, and some people want them all to die.
"In the end, it was backfired, but you can't blame others."
In the end, Bourbon failed to get a meal. When he saw Kuroki Jin picking up the phone and looking at it, he wanted to drive him away. He rolled his eyes and knew who was coming without even thinking.
Thinking of that person, I couldn't help but think of Miyano Akemi who he failed to save.
In the past few years in the organization, he has been separated from familiar people time and time again. Every time he thinks about it, his heartache strengthens his belief.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Kuroki Jin pressing his cell phone with a silly look on his face, and Bourbon smiled softly.
Such a dirty organization really makes it hard for people to stop. If you can't pull him into his camp, then help him clean the room.
Bat, huh?
…
Kuroki Jin greeted Haibara Ai enthusiastically, and looked at Conan, who was following behind with a cold look on his face.
Conan: "..."
Knowing that he would not be missed due to his size, he instead accused him openly and indignantly:
"What on earth did you say to Xiaolan?!"
Kuroki Ren's face was full of confusion: "What?"
"Don't pretend! I saw the ambiguous expression on your face when you left!"
Kuroki Ren guessed that something had happened, and he was ready to gossip, but he blinked innocently: "What are you talking about, what happened?"
Conan felt sad: "Don't expect me to tell you!"
Kuroki Ren went to see Haibara Ai, who shook his head. Apparently Conan didn't tell her either.
"Then I'll go find Miss Lan..." He said, rubbing his chin.
Conan:! ! !
Some people died, but not completely...
