Chapter 136
My name is Shinichi Kudo. I was originally a nationally renowned high school detective, determined to become the Sherlock Holmes of the new era!
The Gate of Steins Stone opened through the turning of the magic dice, responding to my dreams and wishes with the leap of the world line.
However, this is a fatal and terrible, ironic and absurd joke.
During the change in the world line, I went crazy and gave birth to a second personality named"Moriarty"!
The changes in the world line are intensifying again and again, and destiny is accelerating. I can no longer recall or know what the original world line was like before the Steins Gate was opened. But I know that every time the world line moves forward, The world is getting worse.
All the evil in the world is caused by me!
In order to put an end to all darkness and evil, I did not hesitate to step into the realm of crime. I wanted to risk my own life and personally planned the murder at the Yoneka Town Amusement Park.
But unfortunately, and ironically, I failed, lost to love and sacrifice!
To do this, I once again rolled the magic dice.
The world line jumped again, and I became a child. Then I gave myself the name Edogawa Conan to express my farewell to the identity of Kudo Shinichi.
Although my body has become smaller, my mind is still the same as the famous detective, and my faith and consciousness still exist. No matter what kind of danger I encounter, I swear to end all the evil and darkness in this world that originated from me. To this end, The first thing I have to do is to join the winery organization, follow in the footsteps of the big brother Gin, become the yangko star of Mihua Town, and dedicate my heart to the great cause of the organization!
My mantra is that there is only one truth, and the murderer in this case is me!!!
A former high school detective, now an outsider recruit specially recruited by Ginjiu, the pillar of the organization, a future rookie highly anticipated by senior cadres Vodka, a future cadre of the top international criminal organization Black Distillery, who was pointed at the head by Ginjiu with a gun. Edogawa Conan, said in his heart!
"Big brother, I have agreed to join, so can you put the gun down?"
Conan's voice was a little trembling when Gin pointed a gun at his head. It was not because he was afraid, but because of the killing destiny wrapped around Gin's gun. It was not an illusory"momentum" that could only be understood by the mind, but a substantial force. It was normal to have some physiological reactions when being pointed at the head by this gun of killing that was ready to go.
Of course, Conan also had some acting elements. After all, it would be unreasonable for a"child" to not be afraid at this time!
"The next time you pretend to be scared, pretend to be a little bit more like you, especially the small muscles in the corners of your eyes. If you are scared and want to cry, you are not like this.……"
Gin took back his gun and said something lightly, which made Conan tremble suddenly and didn't know what to say!
Vodka returned to the team, and the driver's seat was naturally his. He focused on driving the Porsche on the road. He just watched the interaction between Gin and Conan through the corner of his eye, and his heart moved slightly. He and Gin had been partners for many years. Some of the reactions to it are certainly well known.
When the organization trained peripheral members, Gin also served as an instructor, but even in this position, Gin never said much to those trainees. Even outstanding talents only looked at the trainees. The various skills and performance of the personnel, and then coldly throw a targeted task in the past. If it succeeds, it will be regarded as passing, and if it fails, you will die.
At the moment, Gin can still give Conan a few words. From Vodka's point of view, although it is also related to Conan's age, this is already a sign of"love".
In fact, Gin really"likes" Conan!
Although the process and ending of that shocking murder case were turned into fragments due to the jump of world lines, and it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false, that shocking murder case once changed the fate of everyone in the winery. The experience of being burdened with his own body as a"bond" made Gin's use of his own body even more amazing after waking up in the new world line.
The Porsche was parked on the side of the road, wearing a conspicuous black windbreaker, and Gin, who had long hair reaching his waist, was leaning against the car and smoking a cigarette, but no one passing by looked at him, as if he never existed at all.
The magical power that is almost psychological invisibility is just a simple operation to cover one's own existence with a substitute. In these days, Gin has relied on this method to travel all over Rice Flower Town, traveling in all directions, and he is like an elusive figure who can go anywhere.
But I didn't expect that such an invincible magical power would be revealed by Conan.
And this is naturally not without reason. Gin's use of a substitute is not just an ordinary invisibility technique, but the power formed by leveraging the laws of the world. In other words, this is Gin's own setting. It only appears in reality through the power of a substitute.
In the original work, even if Gin wears a black trench coat and a black hat that have not changed for thousands of years, with silver hair reaching his waist, he drives an iconic Porsche without changing the license plate number, and drives around on the road without any change, but regardless of FBI, CIA, KGB, or Japanese police, no one can see Gin until the crucial main plot.
As the eternal protagonist, Conan is undoubtedly the man who can drag Gin into the main plot and make him reveal himself!
Although Gin was not clear about the twists and turns behind these things, the fact that his stand-in ability could be seen through by Conan was enough to make Gin look at him differently, and even Vodka understood after hearing this.
Of course, just looking at him differently was not enough for Gin to make the decision to personally incorporate Conan into the organization.
In fact, the moment Gin's whereabouts were revealed, Gin's first reaction was murderous intent. However, as the backbone of the winery, Gin's observation skills were above average, so after meeting Conan, At that time, he had already observed that even though Conan was in a panic when faced with being chased by monsters, there really wasn't much fear on his face, and even his voice didn't sound much panic.
This fearless courage shown in dangerous situations, even desperate situations, in Gin's view, is an extremely outstanding talent.
In order to verify this, Gin just conducted some tests.
Being held at gunpoint by oneself, one can still maintain reason and courage, and respond with a disguise after careful consideration. Although that disguise is still too immature, this is no longer an easy task, because most idiots in the organization cannot do it. Such a thing.
And that's not all. Conan, who has just spent a day in the New World Line, has not yet adapted to the state of retreating from a high school student to an elementary school student. Coupled with his innate behavior pattern of observing and thinking all the time, he has... The youthful maturity that belies his age cannot be concealed.
Regarding this youthful maturity, Gin understood Conan's"premature mental maturity" caused by wandering since childhood, or"natural intelligence", which can be regarded as an extremely rare talent.
Intelligent and mature, he is still mentally strong and courageous when in danger. After evaluating Conan in his own way, Gin became more and more satisfied. He felt that Conan was really a talented person. After all, these qualities, There is actually only a thin line between these slightly derogatory terms such as cunning, decisive, and ferocious.
Of course, as a senior cadre with the important task of scavenger within the organization, the so-called"trust" does not exist for Gin.
Vodka's perception is not wrong. Gin is not a person who likes to express with words. Even when faced with talents, he will only test them and look at them coldly, and then decide everything by success or failure.
Therefore, Gin never said anything to Conan along the way.
Until the Porsche parked under an apartment building, Gin opened the door and got out of the car, and said without looking back:
"follow me!"
Conan was silent and followed, but his eyes glanced left and right unconsciously.
The apartment building was pretty good, with transparency from the front and back, a good view, escape routes extending in all directions, and there didn't seem to be many residents, making it a suitable hiding place. , it is also a convenient place to escape pursuit after being discovered.
Naturally, Conan agreed to join the winery not only because he had to bow his head because Gin pointed a gun at him, but he also wanted to end all the sins caused by him. So the winery. The criminal organization that failed to be completely buried in the fifth world line and extended to the sixth world line was naturally his target.
Since he had already met Gin and was caught by him, he didn't realize that he was Kudo Arata. Under the premise of one, Conan felt that this was both a crisis and an opportunity.
He would sneak into the winery, find out everything about this organization, and then find a way to uproot the winery and completely destroy it.
Admittedly, Conan also knew this idea.
He is more or less idealistic, even a little naive.
Let’s not talk about whether he can be a good undercover agent.
Even if he can be a good one, if one or two undercover agents can subvert this huge international dark force, then Yusaku Kudo When he learned the information about this organization through the connections of acquaintances, his expression and tone became less worried, but this was not important.
He risked his life for the case and the truth, and it was not just a once or twice-for Conan, and he had experienced that.
After the shocking murder, Conan did not lack the consciousness to put his life on the gambling table at critical moments.
After entering an apartment, Gin turned around and said coldly to Conan:
"I will bring you clothes and food. From today on, you will live here, and your first task as a peripheral member of the organization is to read these books."
The apartment is not big, and the furniture is complete but relatively old. The only thing that stands out is that there is a large bookcase filled with many books. Next to the bookcase is a luxurious leather sofa that is incompatible with the style of the room and is expensive. There is also a small wine cabinet that is also expensive, and it is also filled with good brands of foreign wine. It can be seen that these were added later.
From these furniture, Conan can also guess that there is a person who likes to be like this. In a relaxed and leisurely manner, he lay on the luxurious leather sofa, sipping wine and reading a book leisurely.
But this information did not stay in Conan's mind for long, because there was more information in this room that deserved Conan's attention, for example. With the amount of blood on the ceiling, walls, and even the floor,
Conan couldn't help but start to guess what happened in this apartment.
"There was a case in this apartment not long ago……"
"There was so much blood, was it a murder?"
Seemingly noticing Conan's doubts, Gin explained lightly. When Conan heard about the murder, his expression subconsciously changed, and his curiosity gradually emerged. Gin obviously had some misunderstandings and said coldly:
"It was just a murder case of passion caused by an argument. If you are afraid, there are several rooms available in this apartment building. You can change to another one, but what I want to tell you is that the case in this room has been It's the lightest."
When mentioning this incident, Vodka's mood fluctuated a bit, and he said angrily:"Those guys are really like that. They didn't even do a clean job when committing crimes. They made the room so bad that I even swept it under the bed last time. Show a severed hand."
Conan was a little stunned. He now understood that this apartment building was obviously not bad, but why were there so few residents? How dare there be so many accident rooms in this apartment building. Then, Conan couldn't help but ask:"The organization doesn't have accident rooms. Are normal houses for outside members to live in?
Gin said coldly:"In other places, there is, but in Miwa Town, there is not!""
Hearing this, Vodka couldn't help but said:"Who knows what kind of evil is happening in Mihua Town now? Criminals are popping up in droves, criminal associations are swarming up, and various cases are emerging one after another.
In the past, Mihua Town was still organized.
There are a lot of real estate properties that are regarded as assets, but now they have basically become accident houses, and they are basically all lost.
As a result, my eldest brother and I have to work overtime recently to make up for the losses.
"
Facing this topic, Gin didn't want to say anything. He just stood in front of the window with a stern expression, looking into the distance, and a cold whisper escaped from his lips:"Ah, Kudo Shinichi……"
Obviously, Gin already has a culprit in his mind for his recent overtime work. Conan has a strange look on his face. Although he has the consciousness to solve all the sins caused by him, he really doesn't know whether he should put [rice flower] in his mind. The price of real estate in the town has plummeted due to frequent crimes, and this matter has been included in the scope that he must solve with his own hands.
But no matter what, Conan still didn't have the guts to choose another more exciting accident room, so he chose this one. Gin didn't say much, left Conan behind, and left with vodka.
Just before leaving the house, he turned back and gave him a cold gaze.
Conan didn't do much, he just walked quietly to the bookcase and picked up a book.
The book has no cover. It is printed and stapled. When you flip through the contents, it talks about the structure and shooting techniques of certain firearms. It is illustrated and written in detail. I put the book back and took out another one. I discovered that it was about explosives.
This knowledge is not unfamiliar to Conan, because Kudo Yusaku taught him related aspects when he was in Hawaii. However, Conan still read the book more seriously, but while reading, he also put some thoughts into thinking. Other things.
Conan clearly knew the meaning of Gin's cold gaze before leaving.
It was a look of inspection and testing.
Perhaps it was the remaining magic from the previous world line that allowed Conan to grasp some of the thoughts hidden behind that look.
Whether Conan is really an"orphan wanderer", Gin is not interested in exploring, or in other words, that is not what needs to be done now, because Conan still needs to pass a series of tests if he really wants to become a member of the organization.
For example, now, if Conan really feels that the two of them are no longer around, and lets down his guard, and wants to do or say something, or even sneak away, that will be troublesome.
Because Conan had already passed through the mirror in the room and found a small bug with tracking function stuck behind his collar.
However, this may be the"special treatment" given by Gin because of Conan's age, because this small bug was actually placed more casually and not much concealment was done.
Of course, this is just something on the surface. After all, this is the organization's safe house. Conan doesn't know what surveillance equipment is hidden inside and outside.
Therefore, Conan did not do anything extra and just read quietly.
After a long time, Gin and Vodka came back with clothes and food. Gin looked at Conan quietly reading a book, with no appreciation in his eyes, but no malice either.
After putting down their clothes and food, Gin and Vodka left again without saying anything.
It wasn't until after nightfall that Gin came back alone, and then asked Conan, who was still reading:
"What books did you read? Conan pointed to the book on firearms and shooting, and Gin asked:
"Do you understand?
Conan shook his head:"If you don't understand the words, you can read the pictures!""
At this age, this behavior is"normal", so Gin didn't say much, took out a gun from his arms, emptied the bullets, threw it to Conan, and said coldly:
"Follow the pictures and disassemble and assemble by yourself!"
Then, Gin went to wash up, put on a bathrobe, sat on the leather sofa, opened the wine cabinet, poured himself a glass of wine, and also picked up a book and started reading.
As a winery cadre, Gin Without a home, the organization's safe houses are his residence. Besides killing, Gin also has his own life. In order to improve his professional skills, he also needs to learn.
Just watching, Gin's brows furrowed. Standing up, Conan glanced at it from the corner of his eye. He had read most of the books before and knew that this book was about disguise and performance.
Conan subconsciously recorded this in his mind.
One of the undercover notes: [Gin is not good at disguise and performance, and is not very interested in related knowledge]
In this accident room with blood stains all over the ceiling and walls, Conan, as a newcomer to the winery, and Gin, the big brother of the winery, After spending the first night, there were a few more notes from Erwuzai in Conan's mind.
The second undercover note from the winery: [Gin has received professional training and is extremely vigilant and sharp when sleeping, and sleeps very lightly. Extremely easy to wake up.]
Distillery Undercover Note No. 3: [Despite professional training, Gin still has a few minutes of deep sleep. At this time, he is prone to dreaming, but he will also wake up quickly, and then look at it. Outside the window, with a ferocious look and expression, he muttered"Ah, Kudo Shinichi, to be honest, I don't want to know what he dreamed about!"
By observing Gin, Conan wrote down all the valuable information. He entered the notes of Er Wu Zai in his mind, silently accumulating for the subversion of the winery.
Time flew by, and the next day, time jumped to March 3rd, which Conan had never expected, but for Conan. For him, the date was meaningless, because he still needed to"study".
Gin went out early in the morning and didn't come back!
Then at noon on the third day, Vodka came back and gave Conan a task:
"This is the identity that the organization has given you. Your name is still Edogawa Conan. I will read your parents’ names and information, as well as relevant information to you. You should learn it by heart as soon as possible, and then the elder brother will ask you to go to the Imperial Palace. After enrolling in Dan Elementary School, your mission goal is to find all the information and clues about Kudo Shinichi through various methods."
Vodka glanced at Conan, paused, seemed a little uneasy, and gave another warning:
"After you enter Didan Primary School, don't be nervous, and don't rush for tasks. Act normally. Brother will teach you how to perform specific tasks. It's not too difficult. Brother has already checked it out and just buried a nail in it. Inside, just for follow-up review……"
Conan knew that Gin was obsessed with him, but he couldn't help but feel his heart sinking after hearing this.
Even though Kudo Shinichi was"dead", he didn't expect that he would still be remembered.
Didan Elementary School, Didan Junior High School, and Didan High School are all in the same area, just the elementary school. Over there, Mao Lilan is still studying in the high school.
