Conan: On the possibility that Whiskey is an undercover agent

“The Macallan?”

Vermouth took off her sunglasses and the blond man pushed a glass of absinthe in front of her.

The woman asked with a smile, "What's wrong, Bourbon? Are you unwilling to lose the election?"

Seeing that he didn't answer, Vermouth continued: "Although being an assistant is indeed an easy job, it is more suitable for a sniper to do it, otherwise the old man will be unhappy."

Bourbon wiped his glass and seemed to be laughing. "It's really unpleasant to be compared with others for such a reason."

So is Tokaj's nonsense true? Gin is a reliable boss who cares about his subordinates... No, this is still too far-fetched!

"But speaking of Macallan, ha! What a cunning rat he was. He almost made Tokaj stay in Crimea forever."

"Is there still such a thing?"

"Who would have thought that the pirate gentleman could hide so well? He worked with Tokaj for a year and was merciless when he killed someone."

As if to whet the appetite, Vermouth took a sip of wine and said slowly: "Do you know who executed him?"

Bourbon gave him a questioning look, but the question was certainly not for him to answer.

"At that time, Cohen believed that Gin flew to Crimea specifically to execute the rat. What do you think?"

Now that she said that, it was obviously not Gin who did it. Although Tokaj looked weak and non-aggressive, all the hints pointed to him.

However, Bourbon didn't believe that this woman would be so kind as to reveal the information to him, so he tentatively replied, "Is it Tokaj?"

Vermouth did not answer him, "You seem to be particularly interested in him? Bourbon?"

Bourbon's heart was filled with alarm bells, and he said, "I'm still curious why the Yeshi family would come down in person."

"The curiosity of the intelligence team."

The blonde laughed out loud, and the wine swayed in the glass, reflecting a dim light as the light shone through it.

"But you can give it a try, as a professional."

Bourbon didn't respond. Anyone who listened to this would be a fool. Since Tokaj dared to reveal his identity openly, the organization must have acquiesced.

The Yeshi family is not someone to be trifled with. The only person who sneaked in and successfully stole the secrets was a senior from their noc training class. He disguised himself for nearly twenty years. It's no exaggeration to say that he is the god of their noc.

He thought that he had not yet reached the level of Senior Hino, so he did not dare to make any moves for the time being, but perhaps he could apply to retrieve the information that Senior Hino had obtained before.

Bourbon had a plan in mind, so in order to avoid arousing suspicion, he stopped talking about anything related to Tokaj.

----------------------

"So it's that Moon Mountain?"

Confirming that he was being spoken to, Tokaj turned his head and stared at the screen, which made it difficult for Scotland to ignore the cheerful background noise.

"Yes, but it seems you know more."

"Just a little bit. Let me guess...are you going to go straight to him? Do you have any idea?"

Tokaj laughed loudly, Scotland wasn't sure if he was laughing because of the TV or because of himself, but he did have this idea, but before that he planned to go to Black Currant's base first.

"There's nothing to investigate about that guy. If you have the time, you can try to hang out at the entrance of the boys' high school to see if there are any bad boys."

Scotland was confused. This guy seemed to know everything. Wait, who was "he"? Could it be that he had already investigated Black Currant?

Suddenly remembering that this was the new deputy, Iori Yamuro retracted his gaze and saw that Scotland had poor signal reception. He paused the TV and pinched his brows.

"Ah, you don't know... the drug use rate among teenagers here is very high."

The more he understood the information Tokaj gave him, the more frightened Scotland became.

There are only three high schools in this city, but there are four juvenile detention centers. One-third of the students have criminal records of being in juvenile detention centers. Almost half of them are from the boys' high school. Many students have to repeat a grade because of drug rehabilitation, so it is common to see students who are 18 or 19 years old and still in the first year of high school.

"Of course, Xiaosaki is definitely a good girl, she would never do such a thing."

Tokaj was still talking, but Scotland felt like he was falling into an ice cave. On the way to pick them up from the dessert shop, they met many students who were leaving school. They all had childish faces and were laughing. It should have been a warm and bright scene.

It’s hard to believe that there are probably children being harmed by drugs in some alley corners right now. The children in this city are already shrouded in darkness.

"Let me think about it. Go away, monsters!"

The sudden approach of the face made Scotland subconsciously alert, and he pushed Tokaj down. The boy, who was completely pinned down on the sofa, screamed even louder after a moment of silence.

"It hurts! I'm dying! I'm half your boss, so I should respect your salary!"

"Sorry, I just subconsciously..."

Scotland was distracted for a moment, and secretly annoyed himself for not being careful enough and letting him find his flaw, but it seemed that he had fooled him.

Ye Shimu Iori's eyes were full of stars. He had just been forced to interrupt his spellcasting in the dessert shop and forgot to pack up the desserts. Fortunately, he always had chocolate candies with him.

"I asked you to come here to protect me, not to murder me. As expected, the guys in the action team..."

I didn't hear Tokaj's mumbling afterwards. The man was holding a chocolate bar in his mouth. He probably realized that he was saying bad things in front of him, so he spoke in a gibberish manner and deliberately made it difficult for others to understand.

He looks young, loves watching cartoons and eating candies... This makes Scotland feel that he is still a child.

As expected, the organization's members were a mixed bunch. And seeing Shirley, who was obviously still a junior high school student, Scotland really felt that this organization was so scary that it had to train its members from a young age.

Scotland coughed and changed the subject: "You mean, we can start with the students?"

"Hmm..." Iori Yemuro nodded, then looked Scotland up and down, and shook his head, "So you just interrupted me from completing my mission!!"

"Did you find out anything?"

Speaking of this, Iori Yemuro paused and said in a strange tone, "Today's high school students have rich emotional experiences."

What is this again?

In short, Tokaj disguised himself as a student and sneaked into the boys' high school. As for Scotland, he looked too mature and stepped forward when Tokaj was targeted by bad boys and was mistaken for a parent.

Of course, Tokaj, who is not a good guy, was terrified the previous second. After appearing in Scotland, he explained to everyone what "the fox borrows the power of the tiger" means, or it can also be called "Peking Opera face-changing".

"My brother——"

Tokaj Cat came to Scotland and said, "He was a gangster in the past! If you know what's good for you, hand over all your stuff now!"

Scotland, who had gone from being a colleague to a brother, was now able to cooperate well with him. After all, he was truly stained with blood, and if he acted a little bit vicious, they would wish to leave nothing behind.

"Don't, don't, don't hit us!"

"All for you! Pink too!"

The slightly humorous atmosphere instantly froze when the leader handed over a few bags of white powder. Scotland didn't expect that he could find it just by grabbing it, and he couldn't help feeling a little heavy.

A few people thought they didn't get enough, so they took out a few more injections. Scotland's face became even worse. He stepped forward and asked, "Where did you buy these things?"

"Boss! The boss gave it to us!"

It is not difficult to find out who this boss is, but this so-called boss is just a repeater who makes a little money from this. There is more than one boss like him. There are many gangsters doing this not only inside and outside the school.

It is a problem to sort out the correct clues from the many different clues. Scotland is a very good sniper, but it is still a bit difficult for him to process so much information at once.

It doesn't make sense to send an action team to investigate. It would be more reasonable to find the intelligence team that is best at collecting intelligence.

Iori Yamuro closed the car door, and Scotland did not drive. The two exchanged information in the car.

Iori Yemuro took a walk around the school and found that, just as he expected, there were repeaters and sickly-looking children everywhere.

And he found the person he was looking for - Takuma Aoyama.

"Excuse me, do you know Kujo Reika?"

Aoyama Takuma looked at Yemuro Iori suspiciously. This person didn't look like a student of our school, but he was wearing a school uniform. He said blankly, "I don't know any Kujo Suzuka, who are you?"

Iori Hashimuro pretended to be relieved, "That's great, she really lied to me just to reject me."

This sounded like some melodramatic story, but why it involved himself, Takuma Aoyama had no idea, but out of kindness he still advised.

"Don't force it, brother. You see, she can even use someone she doesn't know as a shield. It's obvious that she really doesn't like you. With your conditions, what kind of girl can you find?"

"How can I explain clearly what I like?"

I noticed it when I heard Kujo Suzuka mention it, but it still needs to be tested through experiments.

He doesn't seem to have ever failed a grade, and judging from what Kujo Suzuka said, it should have started during this period.

Scotland had no idea about Tokaj's actions at school, so he drove Tokaj to the research institute. It was his first time there.

Even if you are sent on a field mission, you cannot give up your main research work.

In a few days, Shirley will be able to see her sister. In order to earn a living, the little girl has been very busy these days. Even when she saw him coming, she just gave him a look and continued to tinker with her own things.

C-701 is a medicine developed by Tokaj, and currently only the boss and his direct subordinates have the authority to use it.

Of course, this refers to gin and rum. Tokaj himself did not have the authority to access and use them, but as a developer, Tokaj smuggled a lot of private goods. Anyway, the organization could not find out, they were just some harmless things.

But to be able to leak such drugs, no one can take any potions from the organization's secret warehouse unless the boss or Gin and the others have already started using them.

Others may not know, but Tokaj knows it best. C-701 is not some enhanced hallucinogen, but a drug developed and researched around the theme of brainwashing. Although it is only a semi-finished product, its effect is completely different from the so-called hallucinogens.

In addition, the boss's direct order this time asked him to continue his research on C-701, which shows that the organization has already begun brainwashing exercises, which means that there are people in the organization who are worthy of being brainwashed.

"Your potion is in drawer 09."

Shiho Miyano interrupted Iori's thoughts. She didn't know what this guy was doing. He hadn't turned a page of the lab report for a long time. He must have been sneaky even if he was distracted. His supervisor was clearly watching him. This Scottish guy looked much kinder than the gentleman last time, but he was said to be from the action team.

“Is it strawberry flavored?”

Yeshiro Iori took out the needle and injected it into the vein in his wrist without hesitation. The pink liquid decreased as it was pushed forward. There was no expression on his face, and Scotland looked away uncomfortably.

"It's obviously an injection, why do you have to change it to strawberry flavor?"

Miyano Shiho said unhappily, the man didn't care, turned around and took out a bag from the locker and handed it to Scotland. The latter took out an unfinished sweater and a pile of wool in confusion.

"You seem very bored, this can help you kill time."

Yeshiro Iori waved his hand, "Or you can do your own research. Relax. This is a high-paying job."

Scotland, who had already toured the hospital, naturally gained nothing. He could neither understand the mumbling of the mentally ill people nor the experimental data filled with professional terms.

But he has his own mission, he needs to monitor or take care of Tokaj and report his whereabouts to the organization in detail. At the same time, it is also his responsibility to protect Tokaj.

At this point, it seems that they have known this for a long time. If that’s the case, does Shirley also have a supervisor?
