Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

Chapter 223: Grenfiddich: Give You One Chance to Hunt Down Shirley

Time moves forward quietly.

Three o'clock in the afternoon, in Yin Jiu's villa.

As soon as Yin Jiu came out of the bedroom, he heard a slight noise in the living room and found that Vermouth was sitting in front of the TV watching the news report.

"The police didn't find any bodies in yesterday's fire?" Yin Jiu washed his face and sat next to Vermouth.

“No, Rye is still quite lucky.” Vermouth reached out and pressed the remote control. She had turned up the volume on purpose because she didn’t want to disturb Yin Jiu’s research.

The female anchor's voice was heard immediately, "Fortunately, no casualties were found in the factory at present. The cause of the explosion will be further investigated..."

"It seems that the person is really not dead." Yin Jiu turned over in boredom, lay on the sofa and sighed sadly.

"There's no need to be so depressed, and didn't you expect this?" Vermouth couldn't help but rub Yin Jiu's head.

After rubbing it subconsciously, Yin Jiu suddenly woke up and his face looked a little ugly.

What a terrible instinctive reaction!

The more worried young cadre simply covered his head with the blanket.

"The number of people at the FBI headquarters is not right either. Judy must have been rescued." Yin Jiu's voice was muffled. "When James left that day, I should have found a way to keep him here."

Yin Jiu summarized the mistakes of this operation.

Vermouth shook her head. "The risk of you being exposed is too great. Besides, when the explosion happened, Gin and I were at the scene but we didn't stop the other car. So we made a bigger mistake."

"But Qin Wan probably doesn't know about this yet." Vermouth suddenly glanced at his phone, "He went to the base to get samples today and hasn't come out yet."

"Is it Junerick's medicine?" Yin Jiu also remembered this.

Generick from the research team seems to have developed a spray that can change people's memory.

"He seems to be one year younger than Shirley?" Yin Jiu poked his head out from under the blanket and reached out for Junerick's information.

Such a drug is simply a stroke of genius. Combined with his vampire ability to erase memories, it is enough to convert all those who were originally not loyal enough to his own side.

“What an excellent child.”

Yin Jiu couldn't help but admire him, and thought of the newcomer he had recruited for the organization some time ago - Kaori Nakahara.

This medical student, who studies cancer genes, has also been assigned to his own research group during this period.

Although he is not the second generation of the organization, he is younger and has leverage, so it probably won’t take long for him to get a code name.

With the addition of Shirley and himself, if Yin Shuli could be found again, Yin Jiu felt that the research group's project progress would be promising in the future.

However, Vermouth's mood was not so good.

"What's wrong?" Yin Jiu noticed that Vermouth's face was not right, and looked up with a puzzled expression, "Is it because I mentioned Shirley? Speaking of which, there is such a big age gap between you two. What kind of hatred can make you hate her so much until now?"

Yin Jiu couldn't understand it. He didn't have this feeling when watching the anime, but when the grudge between the two people was reflected in reality, it made people feel unusual.

Vermouth is an old cadre over fifty years old, while Shirley is just an adult. Regardless of the huge age gap between the two, how much interaction can they have?

Even if Shirley did something wrong and offended Vermouth, how old was Shirley at that time?

"These are all problems of the older generation." Vermouth looked at Yin Jiu's face, which was extremely similar to that of an old friend, and her thoughts went back to the past in a trance.

If that incident had not happened that year, perhaps she and the Miyano family would not have...

Vermouth concealed the darkness in her eyes and when she looked down she saw the child was now completely wrapped up in a grey blanket, with only his little head slightly tilted upwards, waiting for her to say the follow-up with a serious look on his face.

"The rest is a secret." Vermouth's mood suddenly improved, and she held back her laughter as she stretched out her claws towards Yin Jiu's head again.

Yin Jiu: “!!”

After a struggle, Yin Jiu finally huddled in the corner of the sofa with his head in his hands.

"But even if Shirley becomes a child, I will not give up hunting her." Vermouth stared at Yin Jiu's face, her fingertips still itchy.

As early as when she saw Conan, she had guessed that Shirley might have shrunk like Yukiko's son.

Maybe he has already found himself next to Kudo Shinichi and is also being watched by Yin Jiu.

Seeing Yin Jiu's vague gaze for a moment, Vermouth immediately confirmed her guess.

"Could it be that Gin knew it earlier than me?" Vermouth suddenly thought of this, and a little sourness rose in her heart.

Yin Jiu: “…”

"He did know it in advance." Yin Jiu thought to himself that something bad was going on, and moved closer to Vermouth to please him. After thinking for a while, he continued, "But you knew about Conan's matter earlier."

"I was thinking that Kudo Shinichi's mother is an old friend of yours, so I'll let you know her first. As for Shirley, I'll introduce her to you when we have a chance to meet. It will be more formal."

"But Gin's situation is different from yours. Shirley is Gin's adopted daughter in the true sense, so I chose to introduce Shirley to him first."

Yin Jiu said with an expression of 'I am very fair', "It's just bad timing. If we hadn't had the opportunity to do activities together, you would have met her a long time ago."

"..." After listening to Yin Jiu's sophistry, Vermouth thought about it and it seemed to be the case.

But Shirley is Gin's adopted daughter in the true sense?

Vermouth was muttering in her heart, not knowing where to start complaining, when she heard Yin Jiu's voice continuing.

"I know you're upset with Shirley, but your activity funding is mostly from her adoptive father. If she's willing to admit her mistake, why don't you just turn a blind eye? It's not impossible to trip her up a bit like before."

"Will she admit her mistake and come back?" Vermouth had a strange expression on her face and did not immediately deny Yin Jiu's idea.

She and Shirley really had no grudge against each other, and they only had minor conflicts before the other party defected.

The main reason for pursuing him so seriously is that they are worried that the other party will expose the organization's research data, especially APTX, a deadly drug that can kill "blood-sucking monsters".

Vermouth is more worried that it will fall into the hands of other organizations and cause harm to her own children.

"Maybe she will be back soon?" Yin Jiu was very confident. "If you really don't like her, I will give you a chance to hunt her down. I won't interfere. But you have to promise me that it will only happen once. If you fail..."

"If I fail, I will quit." Vermouth also had her own confidence and easily agreed to Yin Jiu's arrangement.
