"When did the sniper training ground become so advanced?" Chu Ming turned to ask Gin. As the heir, he was not competent at all. He wandered outside all day and handled less things than Gin.
"The organization once commissioned a special effects designer to design a software, and this is a small function included in it." Gin knew it, and he had trained here many times. When Chu Ming asked him this, he knew that he must have not trained for a while. "How long have you not been to the training ground?"
"Only a few months--" Chu Ming saw that Gin's face was not looking good, so he quickly changed the subject and pointed at the two people in the field, "Look, Chianti and the others have passed the 600-yard distance! That's amazing, hahaha..."
Gin glanced at Chu Ming who was trying hard to laugh, and ignored him. There was no rush now. He would have plenty of time to practice with Granburch after finishing the task.
When they reached 650 yards, neither of them hit the target. Just as they were getting frustrated and preparing to try again, Gin said, "That's it."
Chianti was a little dissatisfied. She stood on the platform and shouted to Gin: "Wait, Gin, try again. I can do it this time!"
"No need. The prey this time is only over 300 yards away." Gin turned and left. He knew that Chianti was also a mission maniac and was happier than anyone else to go on missions. He would definitely understand when he heard this.
Sure enough, Chianti's eyes lit up: "What, there is prey? Really? Is it what I thought?"
It's no wonder she was so excited. The last time she went on a mission, she was supposed to snipe Shuichi Akai, but she didn't see him for two days. When she came back and wanted to see Shuichi Akai who was captured, she was told that he had fallen from a helicopter...
Then there were no missions for several days in a row, and she was so bored that she called Cohen to play virtual sniping with her.
Gin paused and said in a low voice: "Well, it's time to work."
Chianti was extremely excited. He touched his sniper rifle as soon as he came down from the platform. He whispered to Cohen behind him and discussed about having another competition in the mission to see who could take down the target today.
Arriving at the living room, Gin picked up a stack of information from the coffee table and threw it to everyone: "This is the target of this mission, Domon Yasuki."
Chu Ming glanced through the information and put it on the table. "One of the House of Representatives electors? Why go to so much trouble? Kiel has to guide him to sit down and snipers have to be on standby. Why make it so complicated? I can assassinate him by myself."
Gin looked up at him and said, "Killing him is only one of the goals. A high-profile killing will draw everyone's attention. The leader of the Nisankai, Dokujima Kiriko, once hired someone to assassinate him, but failed. This time we will disguise ourselves as members of the Nisankai and get rid of him. Among the three people running for the House of Representatives this time, Professor Tokiwa Eisaku of the Department of Pharmacy at the University of Tokyo is our man. Once Domon Yasukuni dies, the remaining Senzu Junji Organization will have a handle on him, so there is nothing to worry about."
"Professor Tokiwa..." Chu Ming had met this professor at school before. He looked very kind, but he never thought that he was also a member of the organization. "I even took his elective course."
Gin then remembered that Chu Ming was still a freshman at the University of Tokyo...
Chu Ming glanced at Chianti, who was concentrating on stroking his sniper rifle with Cohen, and moved closer to Gin, asking in a low voice: "Is this Professor Tokiwa also a code member? How come I have never heard of him?"
"He has participated in the organization's drug research projects and has some connection with the APTX series of drugs. This operation is also meant to pave the way for him, but he cannot be considered a code name member. It can only be said that he has a close relationship with the organization." Gin did not hide anything. Chu Ming was fully qualified to know this information. After all, anyone could betray the organization now, but Chu Ming could not.
Gin tapped the table lightly and signaled Chianti and Cohen to come back to their senses. "We will meet at the underground parking lot of Sun Moon Building at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Kiel will also go there to cooperate with us. The sniping location is set as Beihu Park. The mission code has been sent to your email."
Chu Ming opened his phone and couldn't help but mutter when he saw the code name: "Edie P? DJ? What are these? Could it be Disc Jockey? I haven't heard that Domon Yasuki is also a DJ part-time?"
Chianti stopped his hand from reaching for the gun and said helplessly, "You are not uneducated. DJ stands for Diamond Jack, which means Jack of Diamonds."
Chu Ming looked at Chianti with eyes that revealed clear stupidity. He obviously didn't understand these secret codes. He looked at the photo of Domon Yasuki again and said, "So the square means that his face is square?"
"..."
"...Why are you all looking at me like that?" Chu Ming looked at the way everyone was looking at him, and for a moment he felt a little scared, "Am I wrong?"
It's really square, pictures speak louder than words
"Just take it as such." Chianti hesitated and swallowed the words he wanted to explain. It seemed that Granburch didn't understand what he said. He looked quite smart before. Has he become stupid after being with vodka for so long?
Chu Ming saw that Chianti didn't want to talk, so he didn't ask. Why did he know so much? It was just a code name anyway, but he was still a little unconvinced: "Your code name is too imprecise."
"You didn't understand the meaning yourself, and you blame the code name for being imprecise?" Chianti was speechless when he saw Chu Ming turning the tables.
"No, what I mean is that it is precisely because there are traces that we can deduce it, so it seems very imprecise. What if someone hears us saying the code name, and he guesses our plan with a little deduction? In my opinion, we should just use random letters or numbers as the code name, so that no one can guess it."
This time Chianti didn't want to talk anymore, so Vodka tried to smooth things over: "Haha, impossible. Who would think so much after hearing this code name..."
Seeing that no one believed him, Chu Ming didn't say much.
These people are all ignorant. They have never heard of anyone being able to cheat in Hawaii, so they have no idea about the power of wall-hanging.
But it doesn't matter. Conan's biggest helpers, Professor Agasa and Haibara Ai, are still camping with a few children in the suburbs of Nishitama, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
[My dears, long time no see. I have squeezed in some time to write one chapter these days. I guess I won’t be so busy next month QAQ. I will not stop updating, but I guess I won’t be able to update much this month. Please forgive me, my dears~]
Chapter 608: Rushing Forward Alone
Chu Minggang pushed open the door, looked at the sound of rain outside, leaned against the door frame and looked back at Gin: "This weather is not suitable for sniping, right? Do you want to change the time?"
"What? It's raining? If there is an umbrella, even if Kiel guides people to a fixed location, it will be difficult for Chianti and the others to take action, right?" Vodka just came out of the room and was a little worried when he heard this.
They came back from the base yesterday. Chu Ming thought that he would have to use Gin's car to go on the mission anyway, so he simply followed Gin to his safe house and stayed there for one night so that they could set off together the next day.
Gin turned his head and glanced outside: "No, the action time is one o'clock in the afternoon, and the rain will stop by then."
Chu Ming hadn't looked at the mission details carefully before. After listening to Gin's words, he realized that the action would not start until the afternoon. He leaned on the door frame like a boneless person and yawned: "The action will not start until the afternoon. What are we going to do so early in the morning? We can't just stare blankly for so long, right? If I had known, I would have slept a little longer."
Gin had a cold face and tore Chu Ming off the door frame: "Go train first."
???
Chu Ming was caught off guard and taken away by Gin. He looked confused: "What training? Aren't we talking about the operation? Why did it suddenly become training?"
Gin kept walking with a cold expression: "Aren't you bored?"
Which good person gets beaten when he is bored?
Chu Ming was taken to the training ground by Gin with a hopeless feeling. While being beaten, he wailed that all his good time was ruined by Gin.
After Chu Ming was beaten, time passed by minute by minute.
Gin came out of the training ground refreshed. Looking at the rain that had stopped outside, he nodded slightly with satisfaction, then turned to Vodka and said, "Go pick up Vermouth first, and then meet up with Gil."
Chu Ming sighed, climbed into the car with a resentful look, slumped in the back seat, and stared straight at Gin in the passenger seat.
Gin pretended not to see it, picked up Vermouth and turned towards the Sun and Moon Building.
Vermouth looked at Chu Ming, who was slumped in his seat, and sat next to him, a little curious: "What happened to Granburch?"
Gin didn't say anything, but Vodka spoke up while driving: "Big brother dragged me to training early in the morning. I guess I haven't recovered yet."
Vermouth was laughing happily on the side, with a look of gloating on her face.
Looking at the three people in the car with the same indifference, Chu Ming sighed softly and let it all out.
When the car arrived at the underground parking lot, Gil had not arrived yet. Gin looked at the time and there was still half an hour until ten o'clock.
He rolled down the car window and took out a cigarette from his pocket. Just as he was about to light it, Chu Ming said in a long and sad voice in the back seat: "Alas, how could there be someone as miserable as me in the world? Not only do I get beaten up early in the morning, but I am also forced to smell secondhand smoke. It's really sad and makes anyone who hears it cry--"
The tearful tone made Vermouth, who was also trying to take out a cigarette, silently retract her hand. Gin felt the veins on his forehead throbbing and rudely stuffed the cigarette back in his hand.
Chu Ming hummed with satisfaction, changed his posture, leaned on the car window and looked outside: "Although I haven't dealt with Kil yet, I don't think she is a good person."
Vodka turned around and said, "Now that we've joined the organization, how can there still be good people?"
Chu Ming was rarely choked, and glared at Vodka angrily: "I mean, she is definitely not that loyal to the organization!"
Vermouth became interested: "Why?"
"Humph, it's already half past nine and she hasn't arrived yet. Maybe she wants to deploy something." Chu Ming said confidently, "Maybe she is an FBI undercover and is contacting the FBI to surround us together."
Vermouth rested her elbow on one side and looked at Gin with a smile: "Not everyone likes to come here to check things out long in advance like Gin."
Gin sneered when he heard this: "It's just right that she's a rat. All the people within a three-kilometer radius are ours. If she's an undercover agent, she can be caught by the tail."
Seeing that Vermouth and Vodka didn't show any surprise, Chu Ming knew that Gin always used such a large force when carrying out missions. Even for a small mission, he would ensure that there were no unstable factors within a ten-mile radius.
Unfortunately, Conan still often takes advantage of him.
Thinking of Conan, Chu Ming suddenly touched his face without any disguise and blinked.
It stands to reason that since Dr. Agasa is not here today, Conan should not be tracking the organization anymore, right? He has not prepared anything today...
Speak of the devil, Chu Ming's cell phone suddenly started buzzing.
Why would Conan call him at this moment?
Gin raised his eyes and watched silently in the rearview mirror.
Chu Ming answered the phone, his voice gentle and soft: "What's wrong, Conan?"
Vodka had never heard Chu Ming speak in this tone before, and he couldn't help but shudder. He looked at Chu Ming with an indescribable look in his eyes.
However, when Vermouth heard Chu Ming's name, her eyes seemed to be casually fixed on Chu Ming, but for some reason, Chu Ming's phone did not leak any sound. She tried to listen to something, but heard nothing.
Conan was panting on the other side, as if he had just experienced intense exercise: "Brother Chu Ming, where are you now? Can you come to the commercial street to pick me up? I——"
Chu Ming interrupted him with an apologetic look on his face: "I'm sorry, Conan. I have an important meeting at my company and I'm not in Tokyo right now. Can I call the company and ask them to send a driver to pick you up? Please give me a detailed address."
Gin looked at Chu Ming, who was lying with his eyes open and trying to send the organization's driver to pick up the child, and turned his eyes away.
Conan, on the other hand, was anxious when he heard that Chu Ming was not in Tokyo at the moment, but he did not say anything else: "No need, brother Chu Ming, if you are not here, forget it, you don't have to send a driver to pick me up. I was thinking of asking you to go to the bookstore together to see if there are any new detective novels."
He looked at the flashing lights on the lenses of his glasses, with a look of impatience on his face. For this kind of thing, it would be of no help to find an ordinary driver. Since it involved that organization, it would be better not to involve others.
But this time he must chase after her. The bug attached to the door had been accidentally stepped on by Rena Mizunoshi. If it was discovered, the people in the organization would not believe that this was just a child who placed it to investigate whether Rena Mizunoshi was being monitored. Instead, they would directly conclude that someone was eavesdropping on the organization's messages.
The first person to be suspected at that time should be Maori Kogoro, the famous detective who appeared at Mizunashi Rena's house this morning to investigate the case. Once the organization finds out, not only Maori Kogoro, but also Xiaolan and himself will be in danger...
He looked at a bicycle parked nearby, and his eyes gradually became firm. It seemed that he was the only one rushing forward alone.
[The missing population returns~The busiest time is over, I will post one chapter today to prevent interruption, I think I will be able to resume updating next month~]
Chapter 609 Rye
Chu Ming hung up the phone and met Belmode's nonchalant eyes: "Ah, Granburch's voice is so gentle so rarely, I'm a little unaccustomed to it. Why, who are you chatting with, so happy?"
Chu Ming looked at Vermouth who clearly wanted to know what Conan talked about with him, but couldn't say it, so he could only ask in a roundabout way. He curled the corners of his lips and said, "Of course it was with my little cutie~"
The soft and charming voice, coupled with Chu Ming's deliberately prolonged tone, made Vodka's hands tremble violently. The steering wheel was twisted hard, and the car shook three times on the spot. He tried to hold the steering wheel tightly, his tone full of disbelief: "You are not yet an adult, this can't be your girlfriend...right?"
"..." Chu Ming was speechless, and glanced at Gin, "Afu is hopeless, why don't we throw him out for the next mission."
Vermouth couldn't help but excuse Vodka: "Vodka is a simple-minded person, why did you lie to him for no reason?"
???
Chu Ming gave Vodka a sour look, full of sarcasm: "Okay, the relationship has faded. I just said one sentence to Vodka, and you are so anxious to stand up for him. What? Are you afraid that I will bully him? Then you can hold him in the palm of your hand next time~ Besides, Afu is the younger brother of the eldest brother. The eldest brother didn't say anything, why are you so anxious!"
Gin silently flipped through the documents in his hands without saying a word and not participating at all, as if he was a deaf person and heard nothing.
Vermouth just didn't want Chu Ming to digress and change the subject, so she wanted to ask indirectly what Conan wanted from Chu Ming, but she ended up being choked and had to follow Gin's example and keep her mouth shut.
Chu Ming single-handedly made the car silent and no one could hurt him. He snorted, leaned back in his chair and continued to look out the window.
Suddenly, the tranquility in the car was broken by the buzzing sound of a cell phone. Chu Ming looked in the direction of the buzzing sound and saw that it was Gin calling.
