Conan: Begins to collaborate with Miss Bayonetta and become famous

Rice flower market.

2 p.m.

Inside Mihua Second People's Hospital.

The last time Superintendent Matsumoto was assassinated, the hospital director was also assassinated at the same time.

The new dean will be a member of the organization.

According to organizational intelligence, the dean is a subordinate of Jäger, and Jäger had already made arrangements a month ago.

In the room, Baijiu was lying quietly on the hospital bed.

The curtains were slightly open, and the bright sunlight shone on Baijiu's delicate facial features as she breathed shallowly.

Vermouth sat beside the hospital bed, holding Baijiu's hands tightly, regret and anger flashing in her eyes.

"Champagne, you call this a warning?"

Vermouth lowered her voice, clenched her left fist, crumpled the bed sheet into a ball, and her face was angry.

"squeak!"

Outside the hospital, a Porsche 356A was parked at the door.

"Where is this man's room?"

Gin held a cigarette in his mouth, his cell phone in one hand, and looked at the front desk with a captivating gaze.

"This gentleman...he...he is in the second room on the left."

Gin handed a black card to Vodka expressionlessly.

"Bring me the best doctor to treat me, don't ask why!"

Gin stopped the receptionist from asking the question.

"Big...big brother." Vodka scratched his broad chin and stared at Gin blankly.

"If you are really curious, go ask your dean. He should know the answer clearly."

Gin's eyes were terribly cold, like a puddle of quagmire. After saying that, he pinched out the cigarette butt with his bare hands, and his nimble fingers flicked it lightly to the side, where it fell perfectly into the trash can.

"Vodka, remember to come to the room after you pay the bill. Remember it's 403. Don't go to the wrong room."

Gin wiped the ashes off his fingers with Vodka's clothes.

"Yes! Big brother!" Vodka dared not say anything and let Gin do what he wanted.

"Brother, this place is cleaner! That's where I'm responsible for hiding the nose dumplings!"

Gin and Vodka were silent for a while and looked at each other.

At that moment, Vodka was in a trance and saw his grandmother waving at him, so he quickly changed his words.

"Don't you want to liven up the atmosphere? Brother, how could I be so disgusting?"

Vodka lifted his sunglasses with his fingers and smiled foolishly.

Gin snorted, tapping the door with his knuckles.

"Dong dong dong."

He paused for a few seconds outside the door, lit a new cigarette and put it in his mouth.

With his slender fingers with distinct joints, he pressed the armrest and pushed open the door of the bed.

He stepped into the room with his leather shoes and quickly scanned the huge ward.

"Gin...Gin, why are you here?"

Vermouth was a little surprised and stood up from the bed.

"Don't be so rude, advisor, Vermouth." He raised his eyebrows, his tone cold and indifferent.

"I just want to see if this guy is still alive and what the doctor says."

Gin frowned slightly and looked at Baijiu's whole body. After confirming that he was not missing any arms or legs, his pupils relaxed instantly.

Gin flicked the ash aside, took out a cigarette and handed it to Vermouth.

Vermouth just shook her head lightly and declined Gin's kindness.

Gin suddenly noticed something unusual, and stared at Baijiu with his eyes half-closed.

"It's just a minor burn on the back. He's still unconscious and will probably need to rest for a while."

After thinking for a while, Vermouth sighed softly.

Gin took out a pistol and aimed it at Baijiu's forehead, staring at him fiercely and threateningly.

"If you pretend to be unconscious again, I will make you sleep forever."

"Liquor!"

"Gin..Gin?"

Vermouth looked at him in confusion and moved his gun to the side.

Gin had a blank expression on his face, his finger lightly on the trigger.

"Hey, as expected of Gin, he is very observant."

Baijiu touched his head embarrassedly, slowly moved his body and sat up straight.

"So you woke up a long time ago."

Vermouth took Gin's pistol, put it against Baijiu's chin, and twisted his face.

At the same time, I held his shoulders and controlled him to prevent back injuries.

"No....I just woke up and wanted to see Gin's reaction."

"Don't...don't fire, sister..." Baijiu raised his hands above his head, indicating surrender.

"Don't worry, I definitely didn't hear what you said."

"Like, what, the Ferris wheel incident—"

Upon seeing this, Vermouth quickly covered Baijiu's mouth and hit his wrist with her fist.

Baijiu's face was red and swollen.

Gin raised his eyebrows slightly and snorted coldly.

"I don't want to know too much about the two of you. Let's talk about it in private."

"No matter what happens, I will always have this expression." Gin said indifferently.

"If you want to see me cry, you'll have to wait until next life." Gin said with contempt.

"I have helped you suppress the incident of you causing trouble in the mall."

"That guy Jägermeister is so slow."

"Is it because of the recent "bad things"?"

Gin opened the curtains and looked at the rare quiet rice flower market outside the window. He put his hands behind his back and thought thoughtfully.

"Yes, that Lord asked us to assassinate Cointreau and investigate the missing members."

Baijiu said in a calm tone without any hesitation.

"No need to investigate. The police have already found the bodies of three members of the organization."

Vodka pushed open the door and said with a silly smile.

Suddenly my foot slipped.

"Peng!"

There was a slight tremor in the ward and he fell backwards.

Gin was numb and lowered the brim of his hat. He was no longer surprised by Vodka's behavior.

Vodka stood up awkwardly, patted his body, cleared his throat, and spoke in a deep and magnetic voice.

"According to Kiel's intelligence investigation."

"The bodies were found in the park, the alley, and the education center."

"They each had '5', '9' and '5' carved into them."

"Two of them were Jägermen."

"It stands to reason that all three were. Among them, Bombay Sapphire had just joined Jäger's inner circle when he was executed."

"I don't understand what this number means. Is it a hint?"

Vodka held his chin, thought for a moment, and suddenly said.

"Could it be! They...they?" Vodka hesitated to speak, racking his brains but still couldn't figure it out.

"Vodka, if you keep acting like a fool, I might kill you one day."

Gin said unbearably.

"Be bolder and remove the image." Baijiu complained silently.

"But what does this code mean?" Baijiu pondered.

"It would be better to kill by mistake than let go."

"Don't spend too much time deciphering this useless thing. Find Jundu as soon as possible and hunt him down."

"After completing the mission, return to the team as soon as possible."

"There are still tasks for you to complete."

"It's probably that familiar routine again."

Gin muttered to himself, spitting the cigarette butt aside and extinguishing it with his foot.

"Understood!" Baijiu and Belmode said in unison.

After saying that, Gin took Vodka and left the ward.

After they left, Baijiu spoke slowly.

"I saw an 'X' mark on the back of the man's neck."

"The Woodpecker Organization, as expected."

After hearing this, Vermouth became more determined.

"Woodpecker Organization?" Baijiu asked puzzledly.

"Woodpecker is a huge underground organization in Nagano."

"Seven years ago, they were just a street organization, but suddenly, with the help of an anonymous person, they quickly became huge."

"There were large and small riot bombing operations."

"But it's all just a lot of thunder but little rain."

"Otherwise the organization would have been eradicated long ago."

"Five years ago, all the bombings were attributed to the Woodpeckers."

"But it suddenly disappeared, just like evaporation."

"Ding."

[His explosive material is the same as the one used in the recent series of explosions. - Du Wei]

"It seems that there is no mistake." Vermouth murmured to himself.

"who is it?"

"A friend of mine, this explosion seems to be related to the recent series of explosions."

"Who is your friend?" Baijiu asked.

"Oh, yes, you probably don't know him."

"His name is Du Wei. He is now a police officer in Nagano. He quit his job in the organization five years ago."

"It was because of this bombing that his happy family was destroyed."

"Five years ago, Du Wei, who was at the peak of his career, resolutely left the organization."

"He gave up the opportunity to rise to a high position and chose to become a police officer. Now he acts as an informant for the organization."

"This... is such a pity."

"He said that even if he was promoted to the boss, he would still make the same choice."

"He is such a decisive person and doesn't care much about power."

"The first time he resigned from the police force was because his parents were hacked to death by thugs and the police were indifferent."

"After resigning, he slaughtered the gang on his own and was chosen by the gang."

"A good reward was given."

"He said that he worked so hard for the organization just to make his family and my two daughters live more comfortably."

"And the loved ones who did not leave him when he was in the most difficult time."

"But just when things were looking up, reality hit him hard."

"He watched helplessly as his wife and daughter had an accident not far in front of him."

"He went to the police station numerous times and they all said they were investigating."

"He squatted at the door for countless days and nights until the day the case was closed."

"He didn't see them investigate for even one minute."

"He said he had to see how busy we were and why we were delaying the case."

"So, he resolutely chose to join the police."

"He's a competent man." Baijiu sighed.

"But later on, he stopped the investigation because of force majeure."

"It was only recently that the investigation started again after the tone was relaxed."

Vermouth said with a hint of meaning.

"Who took his place in the end?"

Vermouth pursed her lips and looked at the liquor meaningfully.

“It’s the second-ranked ‘Cointreau’.”

“And at that time, I, Champagne and Jägermeister were the only ones in the top management who did not vote for Cointreau.”

“That’s why he lost the election and became the second place.”

"You should understand, Baijiu."

Baijiu took a deep breath.

"But this is too obvious. Would he make such a low-level mistake?"

"Since the bomber was talking about champagne, it could be a proof by contradiction."

"If you've ever played Werewolf, this is a self-sabotaging game."

“That means Cointreau may not be the real culprit.”

"It is very likely that——"

Vermouth covered Baijiu's mouth and said lightly.

"No need to pursue this any further, Baijiu, the water is too deep here."

"All we have to do next is find Cointreau and kill him."

"Fulfill your lord's orders."

Vermouth looked at Baijiu meaningfully, her eyes very sincere.

"If you continue to investigate, you will lose your life."

Vermouth put her hands on Baijiu's shoulders and said.

"Why do you say that?" Baijiu asked puzzledly.

"Because we have touched upon the interests of the 'camp'."

“This explosion and what happened to Nagano are warnings.”
