Chapter 261 There is only one truth, your code name is
Gin watched Vodka hang up the phone and stood up to leave.
The bar the two of them are in now is the place where Tequila often meets with her business partners. If it is true as Shiraishi said, the police may find this place after solving the case.
After getting in the car, he read the memo, grabbed a young man who was doing some work nearby, and asked him to sneak into the Rice Krispies Hotel to inquire about the situation. It wasn't that he didn't trust Colen, who was dedicated to his job, it was just a habit.
On the way to one of the common meeting places, the younger brother of the arrested man sent back news, telling him that a short-haired female high school student had deduced the case.
Tequila was indeed killed by mistake. In addition, the murderer who planted the bomb said that he was approached by a gangster in black who carried a gun and a bomb. He suspected that Hide Nakajima was conducting shady transactions in private.
The situation is pretty much the same as what Colen said.
Gin asked his younger brother to deal with the follow-up, hung up the phone, and continued to the club. He added another note to Column in his mind - he has a bit of talent as a detective.
…
The murder case has come to an end.
Conan nervously rushed to the cocktail bar that Hide Nakajima told him to see if there were any traces of Gin and the others, while sorting out the information he had just received.
One of the most important pieces of information is, of course, the man in black wearing a mask that Takeshita Yunobu mentioned.
If it's just "mask" and "black clothes", Conan is not 100% sure.
But when he heard Takeshita Yunobu say that the "big thief" communicated with him using text on the phone screen in order not to reveal his voice, Conan was immediately convinced.
——This must not be to prevent the voice from being exposed. After all, no arrest warrant is based on the voice alone. He does not speak because he cannot speak.
Conan has always suspected that the mute is related to the organization.
This time, although there was still no direct evidence, he was already sure in his mind that this person was definitely a member of the organization, and his code name was related to the "corn" mentioned by the man in black who was killed on the phone.
Vodka, gin...these are relatively well-known distilled spirits. When they call each other, they pronounce them by their English names.
But when the man in black who was killed in the bombing said "corn" on the phone, he didn't pronounce it, but the down-to-earth word "corn" that is commonly seen in wet markets.
In other words, this should just be a nickname.
The real code name of Mute must be some kind of relatively famous corn distilled liquor.
The raw materials of many wines can include corn, such as corn brandy, corn vodka...
However, the most representative corn wine is North American bourbon whiskey.
Even if the word corn is pronounced in English, it is still a bit unsophisticated.
Compared with it, the specific wine name "Bourbon" is obviously more in line with the aesthetics of that mysterious organization.
Thinking of this, Conan's eyes lit up and he felt that he had touched the truth.
——That's right, the code name for mute must be Bourbon.
Bourbon!
…
When Conan took the elevator to the bar on the top floor opposite, trying to find traces of the organization.
In the cafe dozens of meters away from him, Toru Amuro suddenly sneezed.
Next to him, Kazami Yuya shivered, almost thinking that his boss was going to catch a cold due to anger, so he handed Amuro Tohru a cup of hot water.
The corners of Amuro Toru's eyes twitched, and he picked up the cold coffee next to him and took a sip.
There were many police officers in the Mihua Hotel. He also heard the relevant speculations and learned that what happened today was just an accident.
At first, he wondered why Matsuda still allowed the bomb to explode since he saw the problem.
After thinking about it later, I realized that the police had made the cable of the ignition device very loose so that it would fall off when touched. In this case, if the person carrying the bomb is careless enough, no matter how others remind him, it will still explode.
Will explode.
Tequila probably accidentally knocked off the cord of the ignition device, and then the ignition device triggered the bomb installed by the murderer in the briefcase.
Anyway, it was accident after accident after accident, and then he exploded.
Kazami Yuya looked at Toru Amuro for a while and asked him for instructions on what to do next.
Toru Amuro could only ask him to get another list and try to protect the talents on it.
It's just that most of the researchers here have weird tempers and may not cooperate. They may even drive away friends because the police are keeping a close eye on people... It's really annoying.
…
Shiraishi rushed to the place quickly and handed the information to Gin.
Looking at the other party's slightly approving expression, the sound of money entering his account seemed to ring in his ears.
After returning home, Shiraishi checked his account and found that maybe because he successfully brought out the information, the finance department gave him an additional bonus.
Shiraishi went out and bought a set of mystery novels to celebrate.
However, this state of leisure will definitely not last long.
Now that the list has been obtained, there should be follow-up tasks from the organization.
He remembered that in addition to being killed by a bomb as soon as he appeared, Tequila also briefly appeared in his memories. He came into contact with a software designer named Taku Itakura.
Now it seems that Tequila may be specifically responsible for this aspect of software.
Now that Brother Long is gone, this job may fall on him.
After waiting for a day, there is still no news from Gin. Maybe they are checking the list.
Shiraishi stopped asking about these things and continued to do good deeds and complete small tasks every day.
Although there is an organization to pay wages now, and the money from tasks can only be regarded as supplementary money, but occasionally some useful sand sculpture props can be obtained, as well as the hard currency in the system-memory fragments and crystals.
One evening, Shiraishi picked up the gravel on the bicycle path and threw it into the flower bed.
The last task in the list is completed.
After confirming, Shiraishi was about to turn off the light screen, but suddenly saw another daily task pop up inside.
[Rescue the naughty child seeking death x5]
As he watched, "5" suddenly jumped and turned into "4".
"?"
…
The young detective team, whose business was bleak, finally received another commission.
——Xiaoguang’s classmate from the next class asked them to help find the cat with five shiny golden Superman cards as reward.
Conan and Haibara Ai have no interest in this kind of commission.
However, the other three children were confused by the card and accepted the commission. They were afraid that something might happen to the children, so they followed along.
The cat was lost yesterday and usually doesn't run too far.
Several people began to search near Xiaoguang's home.
Elementary school ended early, but after searching for several hours until evening, I still couldn't find Xiaoguang's cat.
When Haiyuan Ai passed by the fresh food market, she looked at the dishes inside and then looked at her watch: "I have to go back and cook."
"It's indeed too late." Conan was already tired of searching, so he took the opportunity to suggest, "How about we go back first and search again tomorrow?"
Xiaoguang thought for a moment naively: "It's okay, maybe the cat will come back by itself tomorrow."
"!" When the three naughty children heard this, they were neither hungry nor thirsty. Their eyes and hearts were filled with the out-of-print card in Xiaoguang's hand:
"How can we look for it tomorrow! Cats run very fast. If you delay them all night, it will be even harder to find them."
"Yeah yeah!"
"Continue, don't stop!"
"...If you can find it, you can share my card among yourselves." Haiyuan Ai waved his hand, separated from them, and turned into the fresh food market.
Although she didn't mean to be aloof, her natural mature aura always caused some distance between her and the naughty children. The three children did not dare to stop her.
But they were not so polite to Conan.
Conan failed in his attempt to escape and was dragged away to continue looking for the cat.
