Chapter 61 See you at the same place

Chapter 61 See you at the same place
"Nurse, do you know where Mr. Shungen Tomita is? My sister loves his books and I heard he was in the hospital, so she asked me to send him a bouquet of flowers."

As he spoke, Conan raised the bouquet in his hand a little higher.

"Oh, kid, you are so thoughtful. But if you are talking about Mr. Tomita Shungen, it's better not to send flowers to him, because in addition to being allergic to strawberries, he is also allergic to pollen."

The nurse touched Conan's head and smiled, "Mr. Shunyuan is in ward 3-4 on the third floor."

"But before you, there was a woman wearing sunglasses who went to visit him. Maybe she is also a fan of Mr. Shunyuan."

Woman wearing sunglasses!

"Nurse, do you remember what color her hair was?" Conan asked quickly.

The nurse thought for a moment, shook her head, and said apologetically, "She was wearing a hat at the time, so I'm not sure."

"But the few strands of hair that were exposed seemed to be golden. Although her face could not be seen, she gave off the aura of a big star."

There is no doubt about it. That woman is most likely Vermouth!

So, what was her intention in going to see Shunyuan Tomita?

"Thank you, nurse!"

After expressing his thanks, Conan quickly ran towards the ward where Shungen Tomita was.

Although there are elevators in the hospital, from a certain perspective, the stairs are obviously more convenient and less crowded.

Waiting for the elevator often takes several seconds or even more than ten seconds.

When encountering danger or when something big is about to happen, these times become particularly important.

Even if it's just one second, it may lead to a different outcome of the incident.

"Yes, it's you! You. Ahem, what do you want to do!?"

"Mr. Shunyuan, what do you think? Are you trying to attract the attention of a detective in this way, and then rescue yourself, or even fake your death? I think you are too naive."

"Ahem. Are you planning to kill me here? You know, I have done a lot for the organization."

"If we shoot, it will be too conspicuous. Besides, there are too many people here, so it will be hard to get away. I just brought you a bouquet of flowers, which I carefully selected. Consider it a parting gift for you."

"Take it, take it, take it!"

Shunyuan Tomita coughed desperately, and then suddenly began to gasp for breath.

It was difficult to breathe and I felt like I was suffocating.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to call for medical staff, but he had no strength at all.

"Rest in peace, Mr. Shunyuan. At least before you die, you have realized your only value."

After he finished speaking, footsteps were heard from inside the door, and the other party was about to leave.

Conan quickly hid in the stairwell.

But, I don’t know if it was just his illusion.

When Vermouth left, she seemed to look at herself and then smiled faintly.

The footsteps were getting farther and farther away. When Vermouth entered the elevator, Conan hurriedly ran towards the room where Shungen Tomita was.

After pressing the call bell and putting the flowers aside, she quickly ran over to open the window to let in some fresh air.

"Mr. Shunyuan! Mr. Shunyuan! Are you okay?"

A nurse ran in nervously and checked on him.

Tomita Shunyuan waved his hands and said weakly, "I'm fine. I'll be fine after a rest. Miss nurse, please leave for a while. I have something to say to this child."

Although she was a little suspicious, since the other party had already said so, she had no choice but to leave.

"If you need anything, just press the call bell."

After saying this, the nurse closed the door gently.

After taking a few deep breaths, Shunyuan Tomita's breathing became calmer and his complexion looked much better than before.

However, his appearance seemed a little too abnormal, which made people think of the term "last gasp of life".

"I have worked so hard for the organization for so many years, but I didn't expect that they would treat me like this in the end. I can't even get a code name before I die."

"That woman even fed me the latest drug. Haha. Is the final value of it just to test the drug?"

His breathing became weaker and weaker.

"Kudo Shinichi. I'll leave everything to you. I heard that someone is tracking you down, and they call you the 'silver bullet' that can penetrate the organization. So, please."

Tomita Shungen grabbed his hand.

"Hey! Don't die! Who is that person? What does he want to do? Only by knowing these can we prevent more innocent people from being dragged into this dispute!"

"I don't know either"

Tomita Shungen closed his eyes and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"I seemed to hear them say they would meet at the old place."

old place?
Conan quickly asked: "Where is that place?"

"In the."

Shunyuan Tomita suddenly gasped for breath and then coughed up blood.

"Mr. Shunyuan? Mr. Shunyuan!"

Conan quickly pressed the call bell and continued to call the other party, but got no response.

Junyuan Tomita was eventually pronounced dead from heart failure.

If he had arrived earlier, or rushed in to stop Vermouth, would the outcome have been different?

Watching the other person die in front of me, and I was powerless to do anything.

Cowardly? Rational? Reckless?

Listening to the medical staff's helpless sighs, Conan felt as if he had killed him with his own hands.

He looked down at his hands.

It was obviously very clean, without even a scratch, but it felt like it was covered in blood.

Once, twice, three times.
Although he is not Superman, there are times when he is powerless.

However, he could have stopped it, he should have been able to stop it, but he did not.
We cannot allow more people to be dragged into this dispute.

The target this time is Shungen Tomita because he has the intention of betraying me.

So who will be the next target? And where is the old place he mentioned?
Perhaps you can get the answer by asking Mr. Akai.

But depending on the other person's personality, he or she may not tell you.

Since Huibara was a member of the experimental group, she had no idea where their old meeting place was.

Then, there is only that person left.

but.
Conan was thinking, and suddenly thought of something - cooperation!
Qinghai Chuantang’s concept is that as long as both parties have a common goal or purpose, they can cooperate.

Before this, she had also clearly told Conan her thoughts, so Conan was naturally aware of this.

What Conan has to do now is to test the other party's attitude.

If destroying the Black Organization is their common goal, perhaps they can establish a cooperative relationship.

In addition, since he was once a member of the organization, he might be able to provide a lot of useful information.

Only by constantly enriching the known conditions under your control can you better solve the answers to the puzzles and find the final BOSS.

After thinking it over, Conan sent a text message to the other party to test the other party's attitude.

"Organization? What does this have to do with me who lives on insurance money?"

She has successfully left the organization and is living the life of an ordinary person that Haibara Ai once envied the most.

So it seems that the organization has nothing to do with her.

"However, if you want to know some information, I can still provide some help."

"After all, I am also looking forward to the day when the organization is destroyed."

"But let me make it clear first. I won't tell you everything. At least not until you have enough strength to fight it."

"Besides, if I tell you too much, the fact that I'm alive might be exposed."

The other party's meaning was very clear. They agreed to cooperate, but only on the condition that it would not affect themselves.

There is nothing wrong with doing this.

"Then do you know where the old place is?"

Time passed by minute by minute.

It was almost dawn when Qinghai Chuantang finally replied to his text message.

"Are you sure it's the 'old place'? If the meeting place is there, it means the organization is making a big move."

"What big move?"

"I'll tell you this when we meet tomorrow. See you at Warehouse No. 2 at Wan Chai Pier at 3pm tomorrow."

Wan Chai Pier has been abandoned for a long time, so few people go there, and even no ships pass by there.

There are also many warehouses there, and the concealment is also good.

Warehouse No. 3 is the best concealed one among them, and it has a large area. There are also some containers and iron barrels as cover.

So even if something is discovered or betrayed by a traitor, you can still get away well.

Fortunately, I haven't encountered such a bold traitor so far.

After all, for them, being able to survive is already a very difficult thing.

The next day, at 1:50 p.m., Warehouse No. 3, Wan Chai Pier—

"Is this the 'old place'? It is indeed a perfect hiding place."

"Yes. But I didn't expect you to come early. After all, the people in the organization are all creatures that are used to appearing at night, just like owls."

There are many huge iron barrels in the corner of the warehouse, but they are all empty.

After being abandoned, this place was used as a place to store waste and debris for a period of time.

"By the way, you haven't told me what the big move you were talking about is."

Qinghai Chuantang paused and turned to look at him.

"Clear the traitors."

"what?"

Conan was shocked.

"This means that a member with a code name in the organization has betrayed the organization. Another possibility is that they discovered the undercover agent."

"Usually, the organization's approach is to spare a person's life if they can extract useful information from him. If he refuses to surrender, they will kill him out of respect for his courage."

"Of course, there is another possibility. They are scared into turning against the organization and working wholeheartedly for it. But such people are often the least trustworthy."

"He will betray his original organization for the sake of temporary survival, and he will also betray his current organization when he encounters danger again."

"Who knows, they might even stab you in the back and catch you off guard."

Qinghai Chuantang witnessed all of these situations with his own eyes.

However, cleaning up undercover agents and traitors is the job of the action team and has nothing to do with her as she used to be in the intelligence team.

Only occasionally, I would hear from others what happened to someone.
It deepened their fear of the organization and stifled the rebellious intentions of some timid people.
