Chapter 5 Confrontation

The Scottish Police received a report that traffickers had kidnapped several children in a private room of The Club at the Gleneagles Hotel for auction.

However, when the Scottish police arrived at the scene, they found that it was just a child's prank, but a homicide happened at the scene, so they began to investigate the scene and interrogate the people present.

Of course, the people in the private room are all respectable people in Scotland, how could they accept the investigation willingly, one of them made a phone call, and the police captain who was present readily released them.

The evening wind made the woods rustle, and the colorful lights hanging on the tree swayed with the wind. Conan followed Gin and slowly walked back to the hotel. The brilliance around him was as beautiful as in a dream.

"Gin." Conan stopped and stood there, his voice was deep but extremely firm.

Gin turned around, with a hunter-like smile blooming slightly, causing the surrounding brilliance to lose its color in an instant.

"Why did you kill Adelaide?" The wonderful atmosphere slowly spread, Conan bit his lip lightly, he didn't want to escape anymore, let's show it off!

He originally suspected Cecilia, because he had smelled the same perfume on Zoey.But when he and Zuoy met in the afternoon, he could smell the fragrance. After Zuoy's clothes were stained with dirt at night, the fragrance was still so strong. It seemed to be deliberately contaminated, in order to frame Cecilie elegant!

What reminded him of this was that Gin said twice in a row to warn Adelaide, Gin would not joke, he was very sure that Adelaide wanted to betray him, Adelaide even became nervous because he doubted whether Gin knew everything inside .

When it comes to the motive of the murder, it is difficult for Adelaide, the underworld boss who was seized by Gin and lost to a woman, not to be suspected.

After being suspicious, Conan quickly found the evidence.

In order to unify the management of the hotel, all managers, supervisors, instructors, chefs, waiters, etc. adopt uniform clothing, so in order to facilitate the hotel staff to identify their own clothes, everyone's clothes, ties, shoes and even handkerchiefs are written with everyone's name .

He had seen the tattoo on Zoe's handkerchief today, and the same letter was embroidered on the handkerchief Adelaide used to wipe his sweat.Later, when the police broke in, he secretly took out the handkerchief and checked it. There was a fresh scent of flowers and fruits on the handkerchief, and there was a trace of water dripping on one corner of the handkerchief—a circular trace with a slightly yellowish edge.

If Adelaide is not dead, Conan speculates that the script should develop like this-Gin died of poison, Adelaide secretly stuffed his handkerchief into Cecilia's purse, and then pretended to be a good person to come out to uphold justice and expose Sai The crime of Celia and her concubine regained her own position.

It's a pity that Adelaide is dead. He will never know where he lost.

Gin, the hunter, had already set his sights on his prey and waited for them to obediently run into him, not only Adelaide, but also Conan Edogawa—no, Shinichi Kudo.

Gin knew about Adelaide's plan a long time ago, even if he didn't interrupt, Gin would have no problem drinking that glass of wine.

Gin's partner has been lurking in TheClub for a long time. Vermouth, who is good at disguise, pretends to be a waitress and stops Zuo Yi from assassinating him. Mandy, who has the same purpose, shows up immediately after seeing his partner exposed. That's why Vermouth reminded him not to run around.

Adelaide wants to assassinate his immediate boss Gin, so he will never let anyone who will leak his words. As the son of "Mr. Kurosawa", he is honored to be included in this list.

It is very likely that Zuoyi went to the kitchen to contact a fellow waitress, handed her the poison | medicine, and then pretended to leave.Anyway, the real Zuoy must be the one who died in the end. He, a counterfeit, has to go back and exchange for his real body.

It's a pity that Zuoyi's companion is also a counterfeit. Vermouth got the poison and secretly poured it into Adelaide's wine, which caused Adelaide to suffer the consequences, and at the same time exposed his identity.

If Gin was just skeptical before, now he is definitely sure that he is Kudo Shinichi, the person who disappeared and appeared on the same day as Edogawa Conan.

"There is only one end for the betrayer of the organization." Gin looked at Conan with a half-smile, although he was smiling, but his tone of voice was a bit sinister.

"It can be handed over to the police..." Conan swallowed the word "handling" back to his stomach, and he was too naive to talk about the police to a professional killer.

"Police? Phew, the traitors of the organization never need to be in the hands of others. Their only destination is to go to death with the secrets of the organization." Light golden eyebrows raised slightly, Gin will not let go of any betrayal organization people.

"One day, I will send you to prison." Conan said firmly, for a person like Gin who regards human life as nothing, he must be brought to justice no matter what.

"Do you think you can live to that day?" Gin strode over suddenly, squeezed Conan's chin and lifted his face, and said almost maniacally with excitement, "I told you a long time ago, aim The target, hit it right, don't give the enemy a chance to linger. My cute little prey, why don't you listen?"

Accompanied by the piercing pain, Conan stared back, not to be outdone, and said: "I am just a detective, my job is not to kill people, I will find your evidence, arrest you and put you in jail, and then let the law judge your crime. "

The two of them fell silent, only the sound of breathing that rose and fell alternately sounded, which was ambiguous and lingering.

At this time, there was a huge roar from the sky, and a huge colorful firework bloomed in the night sky behind Conan, turning into gorgeous and bright sparks with tails, scattered gracefully, and finally disappeared slowly. .

This firework was like a ray of light shrouding Conan's body, and that small bright and eye-catching figure burned Gin's eyes.

Gin looked at Conan's face illuminated by the gorgeous fireworks, like a little cheetah stalking its prey, with an imperative will reflected in its black pupils.

"I really want to peel it off and see what secrets are hidden in this body." Gin gently stroked Conan's neck with his left hand, then grabbed it, and directly lifted Conan into the air.

Conan instinctively grabbed Gin's left arm tightly, the suffocation made him pant uncomfortably, and his feet rubbed around in mid-air.

"The light that can cut through the night does not need to exist in the world. How exciting it is to watch it pass away in my hands!" Gin increased his strength little by little, the corners of his mouth pulled up, revealing his white teeth .

Conan's struggle weakened little by little, his eardrums were buzzing, and his thoughts stagnated under the extreme lack of oxygen in his brain.

A bullet went past Gin's cheek, leaving a gash.

Vermouth came out of the shadows of the woods with a suppressed gun in his hand.

"Gin, don't bully too much, it's still useful to keep this child." Vermouth stroked the end of his hair with a slight smile on his face.

Gin narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Vermouth."

"It's not that the silver bullets that can destroy organizations don't exist!" Vermouth said with a charming smile, as enchanting as a bloody rose.

The corners of Gin's mouth slowly turned up, revealing his rare smile: "There is no such thing as a silver bullet that can wipe us out in one shot! Hmph, forget it, I also really want to know if this brat can make me accept those self-destructive bullets." The judgment of those who claim to be just."

"Little devil, if you get in the way next time, I'll send you to hell." Gin let go of Conan, who lost his support and fell to the ground unable to move, only panting heavily.

Ignoring the two people beside him, Gin turned and went back to the hotel.

Vermouth walked up to Conan and said condescendingly: "CoolGuy, do you know that there is a kind of person who has no future. The fate of offending Gin is heavier than you can imagine."

"Facing the devil, how can the silver bullet retreat?" Conan spit out this sentence softly, and refuted it back with Vermouth's words.

"Driven by a sense of justice, pursuing the truth without considering any consequences, the silver bullet that even saved the old enemy... Maybe it can really..." Vermouth sighed, this dazzling light that seemed not to belong to this complicated world , persistent, firm, fearless, even though the night is as dark as lacquer, it still penetrates many obstacles and makes the night glow.

Gin is the ruler of the night, and CoolGuy is the messenger of light. I wonder if one day, the light will break through the darkness and illuminate the earth?If it's him, it should be fine, right?

Vermouth's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, and Conan, who was almost dead, collapsed. It seemed that this time it was just a small warning. Gin didn't care about his tricks, but the behavior of attracting the police to mess with him to deal with the traitors of the organization angered him—— His loyalty to the organization is surprising.

Just now Vermouth said that he is still useful to them, at least for the time being, he is safe, but what exactly are they going to use him for?

Conan couldn't figure it out after repeated thinking, and now he can only take one step at a time.

Back at the hotel, Conan entered the luxury suite, and as soon as he entered, he saw Gin sitting on a matching black sofa, with a seven-star light smoke between his fingers emitting a little bit of light, releasing white smoke.

Gin sat lazily on his side in the mist, his cold eyes were also covered by the mist and turned into a somewhat blurred soft beauty, so evil and soul-stirring.

"It will be difficult to leave after you come back." Gin flicked the cigarette ash, put it in his mouth and sucked it.

"I can't escape, can I? My identity has been exposed. My relatives and friends are all under your guns. Where can I escape?" This is what Conan thought all the way back. The reason why Gin was so relieved that he acted alone.If he dares to escape, his family and friends will be persecuted by the organization, which is what Vermouth said about the fate of offending GIn.

"It's kind of self-aware." Gin straightened up, and pressed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, "If that's the case, why did you save me?"

Conan was questioned. In fact, he had hesitated. It was the first time he had doubts about whether to save people after he had been pursuing justice. This should never have happened.Whether good or bad, life is precious. Everyone's good and bad deeds are judged by morality and law. Death is not salvation or punishment.

But there is always a voice in Conan's heart saying that he will destroy everything you believe in and lead you to the abyss of despair.

With such a real voice, Conan didn't know whether it was the sense of threat that Gin brought to him that caused him to have this hallucination, or whether he himself had been quietly invaded by the darkness. The pause of two or three seconds was as long as centuries to him.

In the end he interrupted Gin to drink that glass of wine, even after knowing the truth he never regretted it, that's his justice.

"There is no reason to save people." In the end, Conan could only give this answer. He didn't find his own reason to save Gin, but no matter who suffered a life crisis, he should lend a helping hand.

Gin said coldly: "I will not be grateful to you. When necessary, I will kill you without hesitation."

"I will also bring you to justice." Conan did not show any weakness, he could not tolerate Gin's behavior, and one day he would definitely bring this man to court.

Gin snorted coldly through his nose: "Very interesting remarks... Huh, starting from today, with a one-month deadline, if you can catch me, I will let you go. If you fail, it will never be possible in this life Run away from me again."

Either give up completely or be imprisoned completely, two completely opposite results, the stakes in this game are so high that he has no choice but to be tempted.

If he doesn't gamble, he will be monitored and threatened by the black organization throughout his life. If he gambles, he has a half chance of being free and protecting his family and friends around him.

There is too little room for choice, no matter what, he has to fight, for his parents, for the doctor, for Lan...

"Okay." Conan put one hand into the pocket of his trousers, pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose with the other, and replied calmly.

Neither of the two who were in the midst of excitement thought that this night would become the starting point of their inability to break free from each other in their entire lives, and it was also the origin of their constant pursuit of each other throughout their lives.

I have been staring intently at someone's figure, understanding his emotions, words and deeds, and more like a lover's old enemy than a lover. They may not love, but they are inseparable from each other. No one knows whether it is fate or sin.
